AMMONNEWS - A Jordan investment conference taking place in London in February could help raise soft loans and grants tied to reforms as the country forges ahead with plans to transform its debt-saddled economy, Britain's ambassador to Jordan said.
The UK and Jordan are inviting about 60 countries and international organisations, including the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, and as many as 300 businesses to take part in the Growth and Opportunity conference that will be held on February 28.
"The conference is part of a much wider initiative which we are calling the London Initiative to support the economic transformation of Jordan to a more private sector focused economy which is even more open and welcoming to business," Edward Oakden told The National in an interview in Abu Dhabi.
Jordan's economy is hobbled by a high level of public debt of about 95 per cent of gross domestic product, according to the IMF. The country has the second highest share of refugees compared to its population in the world with 89 refugees per 1,000 inhabitants, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Already host to Palestinian and Iraqi refugees, the burden of hosting around 700,000 Syrian refugees has exacerbated existing challenges.
The resource-barren country imports more than 90 per cent of its energy needs and relies on foreign aid, grants and remittances to prop up its economy. The oil price slump since mid-2014 reduced remittance flows to the country from thousands of Jordanians residing in the energy-rich Arabian Gulf.
In June Arabian Gulf states pledged $2.5 billion in aid to Jordan. The five-year aid package from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the UAE is directed at helping stabilise the kingdom's economy.
"There will be a continued hope that the UAE and other countries will continue to support Jordan in its journey of economic transformation but this will be a partnership in which Jordan will commit to more reform and the international community will provide more support," said Mr Oakden.
Jordan has been implementing a series of reforms to help contain the fiscal deficit and lower its debt, by amending income tax levels and increasing the sales tax.
In 2016, Jordan agreed with the IMF on a three-year economic programme to access $723 million in aid aimed at controlling the country's deteriorating finances. The plan aims to lower the public debt ratio to 77 per cent of GDP by 2021.
The time is ripe for the kingdom to undertake reforms aimed at boosting growth, creating jobs for a growing population and attracting foreign direct investment, Mr Oakden said.
Jordan needs to generate an annual growth rate of 5 to 6 per cent to keep up with the growing population, but expansion has hovered around 2 per cent in the last few years, below the 5.2 per cent average achieved between 2000 and 2014.
That's why the conference will not just be about pledging of aid, but a venue to showcase strategic projects that could attract foreign businesses to invest and operate in Jordan as well as providing soft loans and grants.
The conference will be structured around four pillars, the ambassador said.
The first pillar includes putting in place "economic reforms that will enable the private sector to flourish and create more fiscal headroom," in conjunction with other organisations such as the World Bank and the IMF, Mr Oakden said.
The World Bank and the Jordanian government have created an economic transformation plan, yet to be made public, which has identified key structural reforms that need to take place to improve the business environment. Key sectors that can woo foreign investment are tourism, financial services, education, healthcare, renewables, and high tech agriculture among others.
The IMF is about to undertake a mission to Jordan that will help in assessing its needs, he added.
"Jordan can act as the Arabic speaking back office to the Gulf and can also act as the platform for investment into Iraq," Mr Oakden said.
The second pillar is about putting Jordan's debt on "a more sustainable" path and reducing the burden of debt repayments on government expenditure.
The third pillar is identifying key projects to boost growth and prepare them in a way that will attract private investment.
The fourth pillar is to improve the business-to-business environment to make it easier for Jordanian and foreign companies to invest in the economy.
"The Jordanian government has both agreed and proposed itself that it should set up its own monitoring implementation organisation to follow up mechanisms and ensure commitments made both by the donors and by the Jordanian authorities are both followed through and implemented," he added.


At the time SAS Institute first raised its challenge to the partial institution practices of the Patent Trial & Appeal Board (PTAB), I explained that should this argument ultimately prevail that it would be bad news for Patent Owners. Patent Owners facing a motion to stay pending PTAB review frequently leveraged partial institutions to defeat the stay. Such motions were denied because one of the factors considered in the motion analysis is the potential for "simplification of issues for trial." And where a trial would eventually be conducted regardless of PTAB outcome — the case when there was a partial institution — this factor weighed strongly in favor of Patent Owners continuing the district court litigation .
Post-SAS, this argument is now gone. The impact of SAS on common stay scenarios is already being felt by Patent Owners.
Certainly, the PTO's review of the patents-in-suit will clarify and streamline the issues before this Court. LG has filed IPR petitions for reexamination of every asserted claim of the four patents-in-suit. Recently, the Supreme Court issued an opinion concluding that, once the PTAB grants review of an IPR petition, it is statutorily required to address every contested claim. SAS Inst., Inc. v. lancu, 138 S. Ct. 1348, 1354 (2018). As a result, if IPR is instituted, the PTO will either ( 1) invalidate the asserted claims and reduce the number of issues before this Court, or (2) find the claims valid, in which case LG will be estopped from asserting those invalidity contentions here.
The PTO has yet to decide whether it will institute review on any of LG' s six petitions. . . .
While review is not guaranteed and, therefore, the benefits of review are only speculative at this juncture, in light of the Supreme Court's mandate to review all contested claims upon grant of IPR and the complexity of this case, the Court finds this factor [simplification of issues] weighs in favor of a limited stay of proceedings until the PTO issues its decisions on whether to institute IPR.
Given the "all or nothing" dynamic post-SAS, it is no longer necessary for patent challengers to wait until institution to convince the court as to the potential simplification of issues for trial. As such, it seems very likely that Patent Owners will start seeing motions to stay earlier in cases.

Cypress Hill Smokeout Festival 2012 Announces Lineup Featuring Sublime with Rome, Korn, Wiz Khalifa, Cypress Hill, The Dirty Heads, and Café Tacuba
By Carey Uhl
Lovers of weed and weed-inspired musicians ought to prepare themselves for the Cypress Hill Smokeout Festival 2012. Come March 3 at NOS Events Center in Southern California, twenty artists will take two separate stages in celebration of music, and, well, marijuana.
Last year, Incubus frontman Brandon Boyd expressed his surprise that the audience hadn't slipped into a weed coma by the time Incubus had taken the stage. Throughout the day, billows of smoke escalated from a huge mass of fans that never seemed to crash from their perpetual high.
Cypress Hill Smokeout Festival 2012 should have the same tenacity as last year, with headliners including Sublime with Rome, Korn, Wiz Khalifa, Cypress Hill, The Dirty Heads and Café Tacuba. More announcements are sure to come in the near future regarding the other bands that will be playing.

SCVHistory.com LW3307 | Placerita Canyon | Bob Steele, Janis Elliott in 'South of Santa Fe' (Trem Carr 1932).
Bob Steele and Janis Elliott star in 1932's "South of Santa Fe" from Trem Carr Productions. Lobby card, 11x14 inches.
At the time this picture was made, Carr was leasing property in Placerita Canyon just east of today's 14 Freeway which would (much later) become Disney's Golden Oak Ranch. In 1936, Carr and partner Ernie Hickson moved their Western movie town westerly down Placerita Canyon Road to a location that would (much later) become Gene Autry's Melody Ranch.
Bert Glennon directed the studio work on this picture. Directing the location work in Placerita Canyon was Paul Malvern, who made movies of his own in the canyon under the Lone Star label, with Bob Steele (real name Bob Bradbury) and Bradbury's high school buddy Marion Morrison aka John Wayne in the starring roles (not in the same picture).
Hickson was in charge of set decoration here, but his role was more than that: He ran the prop house at Carr's movie ranch (he owned the props) and even built its Western buildings (he owned the buildings).
This 1932 verson of "South of Santa Fe" shouldn't be confused with two other versions with the same title and their own SCV connections — a 1942 version with Roy Rogers that also was filmed in Placerita Canyon, and a 1949 version with eventual Newhall resident Tex Williams.
As we're dealing with a Trem Carr picture, the cinematographer is Archie Stout.
Rounding out the credited cast are Ed Brady, Eddie Dunn, Al Bridge, Gordon De Main, Chris-Pin Martin, John Elliott, Al Ernest Garcia and Hank Bell. Uncredted cast includes Bob Burns, Jack Evans, Al Haskell, Perry Murdock, Archie Ricks, F.R. Smith, Slim Whitaker and Bob Steele's steed, Boy the Horse.

Weekly Dispatches from the Frontlines of World Literature
October 6, 2017 | in Dispatches, News, Weekly Roundup | by Julia Sherwood, Tiffany Tsao, and Valent Mustamin
Your news from the literary world, all in one place.
We're back with another week full of exciting, new developments in the world of literature! Our Editor-At-Large for Australia, Tiffany Tsao, updates us with a fresh report of prizes and publications and the inauguration of an exciting new festival. Julia Sherwood, Editor-At-Large for Slovakia, is filling us in on the latest exciting news in neighbouring Poland, involving prizes, authors and translators. Last but not least, our Editor-At-Large for Indonesia, Valent Mustamin, serves up a full platter of festivals, publications and awards.
Tiffany Tsao, Editor-At-Large, with the latest updates from Australia:
Congratulations to Josephine Wilson, author of the novel Extinctions, for winning the 2017 Miles Franklin Literary Award, Australia's most prestigious literary prize. The results were announced early last month.
Felicitations also to Stephanie Guest (former Asymptote Australia Editor-at-Large) and Kate Riggs on the publication of their piece "An Architecture of Early Motherhood (and Independence)" in The Lifted Brow's September issue. The piece received the The Lifted Brow and non/fiction Lab Prize for Experimental Non-Fiction (announced at the end of August) and was lauded by the judges for its "determined fidelity to the banality and logistics of early motherhood—states of radical and ongoing beholden-ness—juxtaposed against reflections from an autonomous life in the margins."
The shortlist for this year's Richell Prize for Emerging Writers was announced earlier this week. The five finalist entries are: Michelle Barraclough's "As I Am"; Sam Coley's "State Highway One"; Julie Keys' "Triptych"; Miranda Debljakovich's "Waiting for the Sun"; and Karen Wyld's "Where the Fruit Falls." The prize was launched in 2015 as a joint initiative by the Emerging Writers Festival and the Guardian Australia. The winner will be announced November 1.

Translation Tuesday: An excerpt of Filip Springer's Miedzianka: The History of a Disappearance
April 19, 2016 | in Translations | by Sean Gasper Bye
"You don't negotiate with a horde; with a horde you fight to your last breath..."
For this and the next two Translation Tuesdays, we are thrilled to bring you the winners of our annual Close Approximations translation contest, judged by Margaret Jull Costa, Ottilie Mulzet, and Michael Hofmann. First up, Sean Gasper's Bye translation from the Polish of Filip Springer's nonfiction. Margaret chose Bye's entry as the winner "because I found the subject matter totally gripping—it's set in 1944, when the Soviet counteroffensive has reached the Vistula River—and the prose itself is satisfyingly dense, and it has what I look for in any good translation, a very convincing voice."
—The editors at Asymptote
O Lord, Make No Tarrying
Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.
Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.
Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
Psalm 70, King James Version
[. . .]
The situation beyond the mountains is getting worse. By 1944, the Soviet counteroffensive has reached the Vistula River. It stops there, though not for long. On January 12, 1945, at 5 a.m., "Stalin's organs" begin to play on the banks of the Vistula. A thousand Katyusha rockets give the Red Army the signal to attack. It won't stop until it reaches Berlin. Over the next few days, panic breaks out in the furthest-flung eastern provinces of the Reich. Since mid-January, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Upper Silesia—mainly women and children—have already been heading west. On January 20, all across Breslau the civilian population is ordered to abandon the city immediately. The scene on the streets is like Dante's Inferno. There's not space on the trains for everyone, so thousands set off on foot in sub-zero temperatures.
Helena Szczepańska is also among the refugees. She's eight years old and the youngest of five siblings. Until now, she and her mother have lived in Niklasfähre, on the border of Upper and Lower Silesia. Thanks to their German ancestry—and despite their de facto Polish ethnicity—they are evacuated along with the other Germans. They stop for a day when they reach Schurgast, and then walk westward for almost two weeks. On February 1, 1945, they reach a small town on top of a hill—Kupferberg. Helena will remember this place well, for during their almost three-week trek through Silesia, Kupferberg is the only place she and her family get to sleep in a heated building. Everywhere else they sleep in barns, sheds, cellars, and God knows where else. READ MORE…

On Tuesday, September 18, Dr. Ann Nasti, Associate Dean for Clinical Education at Stony Brook University's School of Dental Medicine, joined colleagues from around the nation to take part in the American Dental Education Association's 2018 Advocacy Day in Washington, DC.
During meetings with representatives of Leader Chuck Schumer, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, and Congressman Lee Zeldin, Dr. Nasti emphasized why funding for oral health training programs and the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research funding (NIDCR) is critical for the overall health of patients as well as the advancement of the oral health care professions.
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) reports that there are 5,719 Dental Health Professional shortage areas in the country requiring 10,371 new dentists to fill the gap. There are 56 million individuals living in these shortage areas. Funding from Public Health Service Act Title VII Oral Health Training Programs assist dental schools in educating new dentists and dental hygienists and provide residency training to Pediatric and General Dental post-doctoral students. These programs also fund loan repayment programs to incentivize dentists and dental hygienists to practice in underserved areas for a set period of time. Many of these dental health providers decide to work in underserved areas permanently even after their term of service is over.
School-based caries prevention programs have become an important way to improve access to dental services. In medically underserved areas, these programs often serve as the sole source of dental care for children and adolescents.
Stony Brook's Office of Government Relations continues to work with colleagues in Washington, DC to advocate for increased federal funding for higher education programs and scientific research.


The Aculife Magnetic Wave Stimulator works by pulsing a magnetic wave through acupoints in the palm and ear directly to the root of any energy blockages via the meridians in the body (on which acupuncture is based).
Magnetism has been used for centuries around the world to improve performance and recovery from illness and injury. Indeed, it is about as ubiquitous in Japan and the Far East as the aspirin is over here.
Detect acupoints location, the guidebook assists you locate the right acupoints positions easily.
Improving blood circulation, magnetic waves stimulate acupoints to improve blood circulation as traditional acupuncture.
Magnetism effects, magnetic waves magnetize body fluids to increase body's circulate system.
Health, effectively enhance circulate system.
Dual relieve methods, the palm acupoints combi and the ear acupionts combi can be applied in conjunction with others or separately.
Easy to operate, suitable for family and safe to use.
Light and portable, take it with you wherever you go.
Research over many years has also shown that the meridians surface on the soles of the feet, palms of the hand and the ears. The Aculife works by stimulating acupoints on the palm and ear simultaneously to affect the bodily organs and systems.
Obviously, the acupoints on the hands and ear are an excellent area from which to observe the state-of-Chi within the body because they are easily accessible and hygienic.
To detect the Aculife Magnetic Wave Stimulator sends out a short wave electric pulse through the acupoints on the hand and ear. Their state-of-Chi is measured in the form of a tingling or stinging sensation.
To Relieve it transmits the electric pulse on the same wavelength but at a different power, which stimulates the brain into producing more red and white blood cells and endorphins – the body's natural opiate.
The Protect bit comes from using the Aculife to strengthen and enhance the body's immune system, enabling it to be more efficient in fighting off disease and maintaining a healthy balance. This in turn enables it to provide a strong barrier to the constant bombardment of modern day living.
In other words the Aculife sends a magnetic pulse from the control areas on the palm or ear to the corresponding area in the body. This magnetic pulse helps unclog micro energy pathways improving blood circulation to help strengthen the immune system.
Use Aculife Mzagnetic Wave Stimulator anytime & anywhere!

First-year starter who earned First Team All-GSC honors in 2017. Missed two full seasons after getting kicked off the Texas football team for failing multiple drug tests in 2014, his first season with the Longhorns after transferring from junior college.
Incredibly athletic offensive tackle prospect with a limited body of work. Fluid, agile and has excellent length. Moves well about the field, smoothly slides off the edge in pass protection and easily adjusts to oncoming pass rushers. Explosive, stays square and plays with a nasty attitude. Displays potential blocking in motion.
Character issues are major red flags. Lacks balance and bends at the waist. Must improve his playing strength. Slow to react to defenders' moves off the snap.
Harrison was a well-traveled player who finally settled down at West Georgia this season and turned in a terrific campaign. He comes with a tremendous amount of upside potential but needs work on the field and discipline off the field. If Harrison pulls it all together, he could eventually start in the NFL.

Digging History
Bone-crushing hyenas lived in Canada's Arctic during the last Ice Age
By Laura Geggel Associate Editor | LiveScience
An illustration of two triumphant ancient hyenas (<i>Chasmaporthetes</i>) standing over their next meal in what is now the Yukon Territory of Canada. (Julius T. Csotonyi)
During the last ice age, bone-crushing hyenas stalked the snowy Canadian Arctic, likely satisfying their meat cravings by hunting herds of caribou and horses, while also scavenging mammoth carcasses on the tundra, a new study finds.
The big finding — that ancient hyenas lived in the North American Arctic — is based on two tiny teeth, which archaeologists found in Canada's northern Yukon Territory.
The two teeth fill a gaping hole in the fossil record. Researchers already had evidence that the wolf-size hyena known as Chasmaporthetes lived in Mongolia and — after crossing the Bering Strait land bridge — Kansas and central Mexico. The newfound teeth show where the Chasmaporthetes lived between these two places: about 4,000 miles (6,500 kilometers) away from the Old World in Mongolia and 2,500 miles (4,000 km) northward of Kansas, the researchers said. [Image Gallery: Hyenas at the Kill]
In other words, Chasmaporthetes was able to adapt to all kinds of environments, study lead researcher Jack Tseng, a vertebrate paleontologist at the University of Buffalo in New York, told Live Science.

My, What Sharp Teeth! 12 Living and Extinct Saber-Toothed Animals
Archaeologists originally found the two fossil teeth in the 1970s, in a fossil hotspot known as Old Crow Basin. But nobody ever published studies on the teeth, which languished for decades in the collections of the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottowa, Ontario.
Tseng learned about the teeth only through word of mouth. Intrigued, he hopped in his car and drove the 6 hours from Buffalo to Ottawa in February, the dead of winter. The teeth, a molar and premolar, were so distinct, that "within the first 5 minutes, I was pretty sure this was Chasmaporthetes," he told Live Science.
When most people think of hyenas, they picture the carnivores roaming Africa today. But hyenas actually arose in Europe or Asia about 20 million years ago. Only later did hyenas make their way into Africa, and an even smaller number trekked across the Bering Strait land bridge to North America, at least according to the preexisting fossil record.
The teeth are challenging to date because they were found in the inner bend of a river — meaning that the current washed them away from their original resting place. But based on the geology of the basin, the teeth are likely between 1.4 million and 850,000 years old, Tseng said.
These teeth aren't from the oldest hyenas in North America, however. That prize goes to the 4.7-million-year-old hyena fossils found in Kansas, Tseng said.
He added that these ancient hyenas never ran into a human. The beasts went extinct in North America between 1 million and 500,000 years ago, long before humans arrived in the Americas. (One of the oldest human traces in the Americas is a 15,600-year-old footprint in Chile.) It's unclear why these hyenas disappeared, but it's possible that other voracious ice age carnivores, such as the bone-cracking dog (Borophagus), giant short-faced bear (Arctodus) or hunting-dog-like canid (Xenocyon) took over their habitats and outcompeted them for prey, Tseng said.
Today, there are only four living species of hyena — three bone-crushing species and the ant-eating aardwolf. Given that Chasmaporthetes was a bone crusher too, it likely played a large role in disposing of carcasses in ancient North America, much like vultures do today, Tseng said.
The new study takes a much-needed dive into carnivore evolution and diversity in North America, said Blaine Schubert, executive director of the Center of Excellence in Paleontology and professor of geosciences at East Tennessee State University, who was not involved with the study.
"It has long been hypothesized that hyenas crossed the Beringian land bridge to enter North America, but evidence was lacking," Schubert told Live Science in an email. "These new fossils support the Beringian dispersal hypothesis and dramatically increase the range of Chasmaporthetes."
The study was published online today (June 18) in the journal Open Quaternary.

Troubling Research. Performing Knowledge in the Arts.
Troubling Research responds to the WWTF Art(s)&Sciences call by setting out to interrogate the very conditions of the current upsurge of the art/research articulation. Instead of tackling a particular 'problem' by deploying a 'research' methodology that organizes artists and researchers from different fields of practice, artistic or scientific, around a shared task of finding 'solutions' to the given problem, this project aims at an inquiry of the necessities, constraints and potentials of the research attitude in the fine arts as such. The WWTF Art(s)&Sciences initiative joins a larger international network of activities pursuing the institutional implementation and conceptual development of 'artistic research' or 'arts-based research' which has elicited a lively and controversial debate about the consequences of this research turn at academic art institutions (cf. various issues of the Journal of Visual Arts Practice, vol. 6ff., 2007ff., Slager/Balkema 2004, Hannula et.al. 2005, Borgdorff 2006, MacLeod/Holdridge 2006, Barrett/Bolt 2007, Lesage/Busch 2007, Elkins 2008, Hlavajova et.al. 2008, Holert 2009). As such it already partakes in the production of a discourse that is going to be scrutinized and historicised by the proposed project. For what is it that makes the institutional context of practice-based PhDs or Doctoral Studies in Fine Art (DFA) so different, so appealing? Does this new institutional context maintain or break the links with earlier and current practices of research-based art such as that of Dan Graham, Susan Hiller, Mike Kelley, Mary Kelly, Silvia Kolbowski, Yvonne Rainer, Mark Dion, Renée Green, Andrea Fraser, Christian Philipp Müller, Simon Starling, Sean Snyder, Matthew Buckingham, Wali'd Raad and others? The key challenge of Troubling Research therefore is to shift attention from defining (and eventually solving) a problem to that of rendering a problematic, the problematic implied in the conjunction of 'art' and 'research'.
One core aspect of this problematic resides in the fact that place, status, and function of any claim to 'research' – as being a specific mode of operation facilitating the production of artworks that contribute to the development and expansion of knowledge and experience in an analytical manner – are discursively and socially produced and therefore, due to their constructed nature, ultimately contestable. In accordance with this assumption, albeit in a different context, the insight in the "ubiquitous, taken-for- granted, and axiomatic quality of research" has led cultural theorist Arjun Appadurai (Appadurai 2001) to question – not only historically, but anthropologically – the "strange and wonderful practice" that is known as research, its "cultural presumptions" and its "ethic". Fundamental concerns of scientific reasoning are also to be reconsidered, such as the testing of theory (including the replication of experiments), the assessment of evidence, the bearing of theoretical and metaphysical assumptions on the reality of scientific objects, and the interaction of subjective and objective factors in scientific inquiry (cf. Daston 2008). Following these types of questioning (and curiosity) Troubling Research aims at unsettling any consensus concerning the ontology and functionality of arts-based research and the art/science relationship through fostering a – necessarily – heterogeneous cluster of artistic and research practices (represented by the co-authors) whose commonality is the very critical potential and aesthetic perplexity to be excavated and/or constituted in the course of the project. However, while considering themselves as researchers and sharing many assumptions concerning the kind of research they are performing as a group, the project's members may also diverge in some of their positions regarding specific traditions and ideas associated with the notion of research. As the epistemological and institutional context(s) of arts-based research call for careful and critical readings of their political, economic and cultural conditions (material and discursive), the interests and investments in this emerging field are to be considered in the most self-reflective manner possible. At the same time the questioning of one's own position and of the research paradigm as such should be kept open and experimental.
- the critique of institutional logics and truth games as an essential concern of postconceptual artistic traditions (cf. for a critical overview: Fraser 2005, see also Bryan-Wilson 2003, Nowotny/Raunig 2008).
Each of these strands has engendered a more or less substantial body of scholarly literature – the field of performance studies, for example, has been expanding continuously since the early 1990s. The historical study of the art/science junction, however, especially when concerned with the issue of artistic knowledge production as a critical reflection of dominant paradigms of scientific truth and objectivity, is still rather underdeveloped. Thus, the research of the various histories of institutional critique that has entailed a wide-ranging scholarship will constitute an important toolbox rendering potentially useful applications for the analysis and critique of the art/research compound.
a. encouraging art practitioners to reconsider and problematize their own and others' 'research attitude' in the light of the current discursive upsurge around artistic/arts-based/studio-led research in art education in Europe. The project will thus strengthen art practitioners in their ability to critically reflect on the 'research' dimension of different artistic projects by exemplarily pursuing and making available for discussion projects that focus thematically on the effects of notions such as reflexivity, research and knowledge production on artistic practice and performance practices in particular. It will furthermore provide as one of its key results a historically and theoretically substantiated set of conceptual instruments to analyse the political, ethical, aesthetic, ontological and epistemological scope and preconditions of the 'research' component in fine arts, and how this component informs and inflects each individual practice. It will also make available for discussion and revision different approaches and attitudes towards 'research', knowledge production and auto-documentation in selected areas and periods of historical and contemporary artistic practice (Judson Dance Theatre, New York, in the early 1960s; the anti-psychiatric movement in Italy in the early 1970s; post-conceptual practices of feminist and queer artists and art collectives in Europe of the 1990s and 2000s).
b. enhancing the awareness of the political and economic contingency, the cultural and aesthetic performativity and the epistemological unconscious of past and current research 'turns' in the fine arts. Pursuing these goals the proposed project advances a methodological 'troubling' of the belief in the possibility of appropriate 'research' designs which assumes the need for identifying a 'problem' that is supposed to be subsequently worked upon by deploying a methodologically reliable and validated research procedure. The project hence questions the viability and feasibility of certain traditions within the natural sciences and the humanities for the realm of artistic practices. Accounting for a multiplicity of diverging and loosely aligned perspectives, the participating researchers will work, independently and as a collaborative entity, towards a problematization of the very feedback relation that is entailed between the categories of art and research by the current politics and economy-driven research orientation within the European art education system.
- When did and does 'research' happen in a given art practice?
- What is altered when artists act as researchers instead of being the objects of research?
- How is this research informed and shaped by the fine art context and how, in return, is the artistic practice informed and shaped by academic rules and regulations of research?
- To what extent are the parameters of research defined by the practitioners and how do they proceed in order to get their research (methods and outcomes) recognised and validated inside and outside the art context?
- How is artistic (self-)reflexiveness formalized, institutionalized and reconfigurated in the emerging research context?
In following this set of key questions, Troubling Research will apply methods that are informed by institutional critique, feminist, queer and postcolonial theory, methods of social art history, discourse analysis, the sociology of knowledge, theories of the performative – as well as by methodologies developed in and derived from the field of practice-bound artistic inquiry. Conceiving the research process the project relies on a notion of interdisciplinarity that is defined "not as surrounding a chosen object with numerous modes of scientific inquiry, but rather as the constitution of a new object of knowledge" (Rogoff 1998).
A key methodological strand of Troubling Research is the tradition of Institutional Critique in the arts (Fraser 2005, Nowotny/Raunig 2008). The emerging art/research compound will be considered in terms of an analysis of the discursive and practical frameworks it both engenders and presupposes. Institutions such as the system of research funding and the art university are objective realities produced by specific agents and agencies. Following advice given by sociologists of knowledge Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann (Berger/Luckmann 1966), the structure and integration of an institutional order can only be understood on the basis of the knowledge that its members have of it. Hence analysis of this knowledge is decisive for the analysis of the given institutional regime. In this sense, the critique/analysis of the supposedly 'new' institution of artistic research will be pursued via in-depth inquiries into the knowledges and experiences that have been (and are currently being) generated in different historical and contemporary situations where 'research' is explicitly claimed as a mode of operation by individual artists and artist groups or is being tacitly implied in their practice. This archaeology of research in the arts is based on methods of social art history, discourse analysis and the sociology of knowledge.
While seeking a problematization of research in the arts and the relation of artists to protocols and infrastructures of research, a determinedly practice-based approach is applied. The concept of 'problematization' is used here according to Michel Foucault's two-sided definition: as the constitution of problems as objects of thought and as a method to explore this very constitutive process (cf. Foucault 1985). Foucault introduced the term to link his projects of "archaeology" (the analysis and description of the forms of problematization, e.g. a moral reflexion, a scientific finding, a political analysis etc.) and of "genealogy" (the inquiry into the practices that lead to the forms of problematization). As significant aspects of the thematic threads that form the planned project's structure (see below, 2.3 ) are informed by the history of the performing arts and performance art in particular, theories of performance and performativity, especially as developed in the disciplinary realm of performance studies, are of utmost importance to the project (cf. 1.3).
Troubling Research is deliberately organized as following the momentums of eight different thematic threads provided by the participating researchers, rather than organizing the project workers around a single research question. The project is tied together by the persuasion that only a decidedly experimental and explorative, process-oriented approach will stimulate the kind of awareness and attentiveness for one's own strategies of problematization that could count as a precondition of the practice of a community of researchers that may even transcend the straightforward operability of research units and become an "inoperative community" (Nancy 1991), a community that is neither a project of fusion nor production but defined through the political nature of its resistance against immanent power. How these threads are eventually to be woven into the texture of the project documentation is a central methodological as well as aesthetic concern to be negotiated along the way among the project partners. Negotiation as a conflictual mode of exchange is to form a core element of the endeavour, since the production of a reflective research community is one of the key objectives of Troubling Research. Thus openness and indeterminacy are as crucial to the project as precision and comprehensibility.
To summarize, the methodical toolbox of Troubling Research can be considered as plural and eclectic by design and necessity, since the group sets out to capture the very heterogeneity and diversity of artistic practice that precedes (as much as it is entailed by) 'research'. Moreover, the thematic structure of the project mirrors the variety and scope of approaches implicit in these methodological claims which aim at destabilising any presumed idea of 'arts-based research' while at the same time fostering a productive recuperation of the research trope through a genealogical and archaeological investigating of its very (art) history. The relationship between 'practice' and 'theory', or 'production' and 'post-production' for that matter, is not considered as a given by the project; nor are the circumstances and the way the composition of this particular group of practitioners has come about. Contiguity (breaching the assumed theory/practice division) and contingency (spawning and shaping collaborations, affinities, friendships etc.) are methodologically acknowledged as being of the greatest socio-epistemological importance for any research endeavour that is sufficiently aware of the findings of the anthropologies and sociologies of art and science alike.

Q: share authentication cookie between .Net Core Web Apps I would like to Authenticate in App1 and then click a link to App2 and not have to authenticate. I figure a very common scenario.  And this doc says it is super easy to achieve.  So I created a Identity Authenticating app verbatim of the instructions here.
I applied the 2 extra lines of code as suggested in the doc
services.AddDataProtection()
    .PersistKeysToFileSystem("{PATH TO COMMON KEY RING FOLDER}")
    .SetApplicationName("SharedCookieApp");

services.ConfigureApplicationCookie(options => {
    options.Cookie.Name = ".AspNet.SharedCookie";
});

I then and deployed it to my local IIS server(https://localhost/App1) and it was working perfectly.
For App2, I applied the same two lines of code as above and deployed it to my local IIS server(https://localhost/App2).  After authenticating to App1 and then clicking the link to App2, i got an error "No authenticationScheme was specified, and there was no DefaultChallengeScheme found".  I figured that had to be missing something in App2, but the doc only ever sites those two lines of code.  Anyhow, I tried adding each of the following(not all at the same time) 4 options to make it happy and nothing worked.
    services.AddAuthentication("Identity.Application");

    services.AddAuthentication();//fails asking for default schema and challenge

    services.AddDefaultIdentity<IdentityUser>().AddEntityFrameworkStores<SharedAuthContext>();//fails

    services.AddAuthentication(options =>
    {
        options.DefaultScheme = CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme;
        options.DefaultChallengeScheme = CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme;
    });

Something is obviously missing from App2, but i cannot figure it out?

A: CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme is a constant string with value "Cookies".
Identity framework uses different names for its cookies.

*

*IdentityConstants.ApplicationScheme -> "Identity.Application"

*IdentityConstants.ExternalScheme -> "Identity.External" (we're not interested in this)

So you should change the names to
services.AddAuthentication(options => {
    options.DefaultScheme = "Identity.Application";
    options.DefaultChallengeScheme = "Identity.Application";
}).AddCookie("Identity.Application", options => { ... });

Also refer to Microsoft docs on sharing cookies between apps.

An 11-member task force examining racial disparities in home ownership in Oregon has their third meeting on November 28 taking a look at mortgage loans and barriers. The task force was created by legislation during the 2018 session with the goal of trying to figure out how to improve home ownership rates, especially for Oregonians of color.
Allan Lazo, Executive Director of the Fair Housing Council of Oregon, told committee members the percentage of Black homeownership has remained stagnant since the passage of the Fair Housing Act 50 years ago. Whereas 65 percent of white people and 63 percent of Asian Americans own homes as of 2017, only 35 percent of African Americans, 37 percent of Latino, and 26 percent of Pacific Islanders own their homes.
At their October meeting lending was discussed as a significant challenge. Despite existing programs to help people borrow a home, many potential buyers are not aware of the extra help they can get to become eligible for assistance towards closing a home purchase.
Joseph Portillo, a home loan officer at Umpqua Bank, testified expanding educational programs about accessing credit and other qualifiers for home loans could boost home ownership rates among people of color.
Others reminded the committee to consider how the impact of Oregon's history of discrimination has compounded the significant disadvantages for people of color. Many families were unable to build wealth through property ownership over the course of generations in the way white people could.
"I would strongly caution too much focus on the consumer education piece and focus on the systemic pieces of how we got here," said Se-Ah-Dom Edmo, a committee member and Sovereignty Program Director at the Western States Center.


Heidi and Adèle is a new handbag and accessories brand started by childhood friends Heidi Carneau and Adèle Taylor. Their designs; inspired both by their Franco-British upbringing and their love of the unique are a combination of Parisian elegance and flirty London exuberance. Passionate about leather and uncompromising on the quality and finish of their creations, they have travelled the world to source the suppliers and manufacturers who share their dedication to produce exquisitely crafted products whilst upholding the values of ethical trading and sustainable sourcing. Eighteen months in, they have already designed and manufactured 5 capsule collections with materials sourced from all over the globe. Heidi and Adèle specialise in eco-exotic leather, a viable and sustainable alternative to more traditional and well-known exotic skins.
Using high quality supple leathers and incredibly vibrant eco exotic skins, Heidi and Adèle create inimitable pieces that fuse beauty with practicality – a spot of every day luxury for the relaxed, glamorous and confident woman.
Adèle Taylor has a history of working in small start-ups. After graduating from Kings College she ran the office for a French animation company in London before con-running a system integration business for 6 years.
Heidi Carneau qualified from the prestigious ESCP School in Paris and went on to work for Goldman Sachs for 7 years before starting Heidi and Adèle.
Where did the idea for using eco-exotic skin in Heidi and Adèle's bags and accessories come from?
When we launched the brand Heidi and Adèle in September 2013 it was not just with the intention of creating a viable company. We wanted to create a lasting lifestyle business for ourselves that would provide us with constant stimulus and reasons to develop ourselves as individuals and entrepreneurs at least as much as to develop our products. To make this a reality we needed to find something that we passionately believe in to constantly drive us on and motivate us to succeed. Eco-exotic leather is a beautiful and sustainable alternative to more traditional exotic skins. It alleviates fashion's need to harvest the skin of rare and endangered species using brutal practices at a high human and animal cost. Promoting eco-exotic leather and creating beautiful pieces with these skins has become that passion.
We both work from home, which is to say not together although we spend most of the day communicating via the phone or email. We have very complimentary skillsets and we have learned – admittedly with difficulty, to divide up the tasks. We start the day with a to-do list and we both work through ours individually although everything is vetted by the other once a task has been completed. This helps to give us structure and also to keep each other in the loop at all times.
We are both naturally excitable and fearless. So, if we get an idea then we make it happen. The wonderful thing about creating a product is that you have something tangible to see at the end. We turn our ideas into samples and then refine them continually until we are happy with them. It's an exhilarating process. It's the Disney or Christmas morning syndrome every time we get a delivery from our factories.
The 'green carpet' and 'sustainable fashion' trend. As firm believers and supporters of ethical trade and sustainable sourcing, we are enthused by this emerging trend in fashion. Especially as it is endorsed by numerous celebrities that are very influential within the industry.
Lists, lists and more lists. Firstly it is essential to keep track of what needs to be done. In our case, aside from the manufacturing we do absolutely everything ourselves. This amounts to a pretty colossal amount of work and it is easy to forget certain things when everything appears more or less urgent. Secondly, being able to tick off completed tasks is very rewarding. And thirdly it provides us with a structure. If we were to sit down and abstractly think of everything we still need to do and achieve it would probably seem a little overwhelming. Itemising tasks makes them appear a lot more achievable.
Data inputting as a temp. How wonderful and essential it is to have to use one's brain in a job. And that days can really feel like a lifetime.
There are lots of things that we should do differently such as being better organised and not diverging our focus on things that we ended up not doing at all. We should have had a better idea of what we were trying to achieve and a working business plan. However when we started Heidi and Adèle we knew nothing about fashion or eco-exotic leather. This was a real adventure which we immersed ourselves into completely and we have learned from each and every one of our mistakes and digressions. We have discovered so many things by diving in head first which we probably wouldn't have considered if we'd had a clear objective. So the head would give you a whole range of things to do differently and yet the heart says we'd not change a thing.
Prioritise. Everything is not urgent or important. It sounds obvious but actually it's very easy to get caught up in a spiral of adrenaline when you're on the receiving end of 400 emails. That's the time to take a deep breath, and go and make yourself a cup of tea. Give yourself five minutes and then sit back down and look at everything again with a calmer head and work out what needs to be done immediately and what can be put on hold for a while. Being an entrepreneur is challenging on numerous levels, these include among many others – not having anyone to delegate to (at least for a while), not having a fixed or pre-determined structure to work from and being responsible for each failure and success. The only way to make it work is to deal with things one at a time, methodically.
Our motto is: Happiness is the greatest measure of success. As we have mentioned, Heidi and Adèle was created as a long term lifestyle business, we are crafting it around our lives and our loves. Choosing to build on something we are passionate about, to develop as people, to be our brand and to do it because from it we get a sense of achievement and fulfilment is key. Happiness and passion is infectious and we exude it. We have been helped and guided by friends and mentors because they believe in our enthusiasm and in us just as much as they love our products. By getting people involved and making them also feel like they are a part of our journey we have extended our network and our reach all over the world.
When we started the brand we both lived in London. Our days were spent together. We attended seminars and fairs and travelled all over the world to source our materials and suppliers and everything was new and amazing. Once that period was over and we were no longer living in the same city, when work became well – work and there was too much for us to do together we found things a little more difficult. We have been friends since primary school. We know each other inside and out and we have faith in each other and in our skillset. But we were used to micromanaging everything. We were clear on who was better at certain tasks but we still weren't good at dividing them up. We wasted a lot of time still trying to work on the same task together remotely, occasionally getting very frustrated with each other as well. Eventually we didn't have an option. There really is too much to do and we have had to "let go" and focus on what we are individually good at. Aside from that being the more sensible and productive thing to do, we enjoy our specific sections better anyway so it's a win-win!
Eurostar tickets to Paris! We've just come back from 5 days of private sales and meetings. We are part French and we would love to become a successful brand there as well, not to mention that we got to spend some quality time with a few close friends while we were there. Mixing business with pleasure and living by our motto.
We are very active on social media and use Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to communicate about our latest products, events, promotions and press articles; they are great platforms to communicate visual and editorial content to a large crowd.
and in the wake of his death wish to recommend his novels. Why? They paint a fantasy world that has much more in common with our reality than you might think and pass subtle social messages shrouded in his inimitable wit. Not just a greatly entertaining read, but sound advice on how to improve yourself as an individual without any of the moralising guilt trip!
Our passions are sustainable fashion and innovative thinking, we follow blogs and websites who put these ideas forward; such as Collectively, Triple Pundit, Ecolife and Ecouterre. There are many entrepreneurs out there who dream of a greener future and the more numbers grow the more of a difference can be made. We enjoy hearing about new ideas and also use this means to find like-minded partners for potential collaborations.

Vrack 2b (VRACK2B.WAD)
VRACK 2B
by Fredrik Johansson
The original Vrack was released back in 2000, inspired by Dystopia 3's MAP04 and LucasArts's Dark Forces. The name of the game was a base in space and a big one at that. Fredrik's orbital platform was a pretty novel setting, but it didn't quite catch the eye of the public as strongly as its sequel did, leading to its enshrinement as one of Doomworld's Top 10 WADs of 2001. There are actually two versions of the sequel on the archives, original and extra crispy (2b). All of the changes are under the hood, adding Deathmatch starts, a REJECT table, and cleaning up the artificiality of the void; the original remains for demo compatibility purposes. That said, this review was written on Vrack 2b, a MAP01 replacement for Doom II and designed for Boom.
V2, the Mighty Crux, offers a slightly stronger context for your space odyssey, explaining that these UAC paraplanetary platforms are part of the V. R. A. C. K. station network. Your mission is to clear them following a recent demonic invasion. You reached V. R. A. C. K. 2 after taking one of the evacuation shuttles from your previous objective, presumably V. R. A. C. K. 1. You must be under some sort of duress, though, because the mysterious Mewse is mentioned once again as your primary motivator. If he's capable of being a threat to you, and you're powerful enough to clean out a space station on your lonesome, then why not just send Mewse as the ringer?
The original Vrack was kind of big. The sequel is HUGE, and it's crammed full of an even denser contingent of monsters, as though they were mustering for an assault. It flirts with slaughter encounters but features a healthy mix of corridor shooting, small-scale traps, lock-in fights, and the dam bursting. A few of the heavier battles are kind of a pain to muscle through due to infinitely tall monsters; I'm mainly thinking of the western crate yard, which is staffed by a large contingent of mancubuses and arachnotrons. Getting down to ground level so that you can clear them out once you've dealt with the fliers seems like a roll of the dice. The revenant balcony is pretty sneaky, too, but you can snipe them out from the upper floor... once you know about them!
The great thing concerning the strangling monster density is that Johansson is quite happy to provide scads of rockets and, indeed, a rocket launcher, though you'll have to dig a little deeper into the level to get to it. Knowing where it is ahead of time should make some of the clearing, which will have to be done using the combat shotgun, much simpler. The hallways and occasionally cramped confines heighten the dangers typically associated with rocket fire but make for very punchy and fun gameplay. Judicious munition use will keep the pace flowing at a good clip. Of course, you'll eventually fall prey to the biggest of the invasions toward the end, and the secret but highly telegraphed BFG will come in quite handy when clearing out those hordes of cacodemons... but you don't have to. Vrack 2 follows its forebear in its "as many as you can" philosophy, and those two outdoor crowds of gasbags are just ripe to be reaped for percentage points.
There's also some pretty novel fights, more along the lines of the original Vrack's goofy revenant / pillar / nukage battle. In fact, that particular hoedown has been deconstructed and reconfigured into an arena-fight scenario featuring eight wall cubbies each fielding three revenants surrounding a toxic pit with a mesh wire maze guarding a key... and it's actually a red herring! There's a time critical component with some wiggle room depending on whether or not you snag a secret invul sphere; it'll definitely help you out, especially since you won't have to start out wasting your enviro suit time running circles in order to avoid eating a revenant rocket.
Vrack 2's outdoor areas look much cooler compared to the original's. The first and most obvious is the "courtyard" near the beginning, the site of a large crossfire that sets the level's tone and with a central platform only accessible via teleporter. I love the suspended "island"; the power-ups, plasma gun, and red key on separate pillars offer tantalizing rewards for persistent players, and it's the scene of what's probably the most restrictive lock-in fight. I just wish my rockets didn't tend to blow up on my feet once I start exploding cacodemons! I also like the conveyor belt prop, which runs through the level's northwestern area before ending at the blue skull key. It's a fun way to tie the indoor and outdoor areas together.
The original Vrack wasn't ugly by any means, but it tended toward straight hallways and simple outdoor sections that rang of vanilla Doom rather than Boom. V2 steps up the layout, looking both more complex and organic, while (largely) unobtrusive detailing has been crammed into just about every square inch. Areas like the big hold in between the east and west outdoor segments may be bumpy with smaller crates, but I don't think that I ever had a moment where moving around was difficult due to level geometry. The pressurized monster placement was almost always the real culprit. The lighting in parts of the original were more atmospheric, I think, but Vrack 2 is better served by Johansson's facilitation of action. After all, you don't want to be shooting rockets in the dark. That's what rainbows are for.
Vrack 2 is really cool. As I play these space base levels I wish there were more. At the very least, I know that I've got another one from Fredrik: Vrack 3. If plowing through scads of demons with the rocket launcher and mopping up bonus-stage style using the BFG isn't your thing, you should still be able to enjoy this on HMP or lower. For the rest, fire away!

Speaking of Fredrik, burger.wad is an oddity that may be worth experiencing.

The music in these Vrack wads is from Descent, a game I've played and this series does remind me of the early levels of that game more than the vast majority of DooM levels do.

"The Muslim travel ban has brought out who we are as a people. When feeling despondent, remember this from the Law Firm of the Resistance at Baggage Claim 13. 1500 lawyers and translators came to IAD since Saturday. Our call for attys/translators for Arabic, Farsi and Somali yielded 1200 volunteers in 48 hours. People also donated food, gifts cards for Starbucks, parking vouchers, clipboards, printers, etc.
A. An Arabic translator who heard on the news there were lawyers so he came to help.
B. People who could have been drinking at the bar at a layover came instead to help us.
C. Mom lawyers who came with their infants in strollers and toddlers in hand. And a laptop.
D. A small business owner down the street who came to do "anything".
E. Dulles area residents who offered their homes for anyone too exhausted to drive home late at night.
F. The a capella group who came to sing "Stand by Me" and "America the Beautiful" to welcome travelers at the gate.
And finally, law students like these two in the picture. One was taking pictures of every volunteer and why they they came so he can share it with the Muslim community. The other translating for me a flyer in Arabic we want to distribute.

PERFORM: Always keep the page styles and CSS files possess provided websites a nice and structured layout which makes it convenient to create and re- style. Two of the very most well-known grid styles are as well as the 1kb main grid.
DON'T: Just simply make use of way too many boxes and randomly place will need to have come across websites that have disorganized and jumble, huddle contents of their webpages. Around 20-30 odd boxes which have been haphazardly piled about a full page, not only helps it be tough to grasp yet also a headache to re- design by a later stage of time. This can be definitely not expected by a web designer.
CARRY OUT: Concentrate on precisely important. It's important to focus on the main desired goals or aspires behind creating the web site. Make sure that your house web page focusses with them. Whoever visits your site must have a clear idea of what it deals with. Then produce evident and clear call to action in the inner web pages. Your website should not keep your visitors pondering and wondering what you are trying to say. The website ought to be simple, simple to understand and really should focus on the goals.
DON'T: Sign up for irrelevant ads across the page. If you are intending on allowing ads on your website/ blog, then take unique focus on do so very carefully, add just relevant and true advertisements. To begin with if your web page has more ads than content material after that persons wouldn't take you or your organization significantly. Another thing to remember is certainly that most tourists think that the ads are businesses that you are recommending to them, and that means you have to make sure that you allow only genuine advertisements on your pages.
Perform: Choose the right color layout. Using the proper color design is vital that you setting the mood of the web page. Once again bear in mind the objectives and select colors to suit them. Generally, a couple of contrasting shades along with black and a neutral color will be the greatest combination to check out while directed your website.
TYPICALLY: Overdo that with a whole lot of colors. Utilizing a lot colors on your site is certainly not a good idea. The color you utilize should be attractive and not a pressure on the eyes. People spend a great deal of period on a internet site, so looking at loud shades for extended periods of time can be quite a strain. This would annoy guests and drive them away.
DO: Create simple to scan web pages. People don't stay on a full page for longer than 3 secs. You have to influence them to stay within these types of seconds by using proper content.

Pine City Yellow Ribbon is seeking assistance from community members to brighten the holidays for 30 children of local military families this holiday season. A "Giving Tree" has been created to help make this possible. The children and their families will be attending a holiday party for the local National Guard Unit, B Troop 1-94 Cavalry, at the beginning of December.
The "Giving Tree" is on display at the Chamber of Commerce office in the Pine Government Center for anyone to stop by and select a specific age group to give a gift. Unwrapped gifts with a value of $15 – $20 are needed by Thursday, December 6th. You can also select a child by contacting the Chamber by phone at 320-322-4040 or by email at info@pinecitychamber.com.
Pine City will celebrate the beginning of the holiday season during the annual Holiday Madness and Christmas Carol Parade scheduled for this Friday, November 30th. Many have wondered why the event is "early" this year, but the event has had a traditional date set for the Friday one week after Thanskgiving – thus an early date this year.
The holidays can be a tough time of the year for many in our community, so the Chamber continues to support the efforts of the Pine City Community Food Shelf and the Toys for Tots drive each year by asking community members to support one of these organizations and make a much needed donation. All donations made between now and Friday at one of the participating locations will include an entry form into the drawings for Holiday Madness Chamber Bucks to be given away during the annual Tree Lighting event. Donations are being accepted at: Northwoods Bank of Pine City, Cabin Coffees, Chris' Food Center, Voyageur Bottle Shop and Pine Center for the Arts. The winners of the drawings will be announced in Robinson Park following the tree lighting – and need NOT be present to win!
The Pine Center for the Arts will partner with MINPACK again this year to provide photos with Santa from 3:00 – 5:00 PM at Cabin Coffees. This year the photos will be a 5×7 portrait for just $3 per photo. Photos will be available for pick up on Friday, December 7th.
Outdoor festivities will begin at 5:30 pm in Robinson Park. Enjoy the singing talents of Pine City's finest as the high school choirs, led by Jennifer Krinke, will put us all in holiday spirits with their holiday sing-a-long. Families can stay warm by the fires that will be set up in the park as well.
The 11th Annual Christmas Carol Parade begins at 6:00 PM. The parade begins at the corner of 8th Avenue & Main Street next to Waxberg Clinic. The parade route will travel north on Hwy 61 to 3rd Ave SE, then go to Robinson Park in downtown Pine City. The parade features a variety of lighted floats with Christmas Carol themes; the Mayor of Pine City, Pine City Ambassadors, Anytime Fitness, Town & Country Insurance and Pine City Youth Hockey are among this year's entries.
The lighting of the Christmas tree in Robinson Park will take place immediately following the end of the Christmas Carol Parade, so hurry on down! A special presentation by the Elementary School choir, led by Jennifer Hansmann, and Pine City Mayor Jane Robbins are scheduled to speak at the tree lighting ceremony.
The Pine City Area Chamber of Commerce, sponsor of the events, invites everyone in East Central Minnesota to enjoy this day of Christmas cheer by taking advantage of the many events. Throughout the evening we encourage members of the community to use this evening as an opportunity to shop or dine at one of our local businesses. Look for the Holiday Madness flyers at local businesses over the next week to find coupons for discounts at local retailers and restaurants valid from November 24th through 30th.
On Friday, November 9th a group of churches in Hinckley, MN will be the next to participate in a Progressive Dinner fundraiser for the newly opened "A Place for You" Transitional Shelter in Pine City, MN.
Earlier this year this type of event was hosted at Pine City churches with great success. As a result, the model has been expanded for an additional community to help fundraising efforts for the newest non-profit in Pine City.
Tickets are available for just $10/person at the following locations: Pine Tax & Accounting, Woodlands Bank, Lake State Federal Credit Union and host churches as well as at the door.


A grizzly bear and her two cubs mauled three teens at Eagle River Campground in Anchorage, Alaska. The teens were hiking in a densely wooded area located approximately 10 miles north of the largest city in the state.
Four teenagers were hiking when they stumbled upon the bear and her young cubs. The three teens were transported to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Two aggressive grizzly bears were killed in the Eagle River Campground in Anchorage earlier this week.
When Anchorage law enforcement officers were searching the woods for the teen hikers, they were charged by the bear and fired shots at the massive animal. The grizzly bear ran back into the woods as the police officers gave chase.
The officers followed a blood-speckled trail into the forest, but the red droplets soon dissipated. According to Marsh, the bear was likely wounded from the earlier gunfire, but not mortally, the Daily Mail reports. The search for the grizzly bear that attacked the three teen hikers lasted about three hours before it was called off.
Anchorage police officials first learned about the grizzly bear and her two cubs attacking the group of teenage hikers around noon on Wednesday, KTVA reports. The group, which included two boys and two girls, got separated during the mauling. Approximately 30 first responder units converged upon the campground to search for the missing youngsters.
Anchorage Police Department Sergeant Cam Hokenson said officers had phone contact with several of the missing teens during the search. The first responders used their sirens and other noises to help the young hikers reach safety. The three teen hikers sustained a series of claw and bite marks but are expected to make a full recovery.
Anchorage is comprised of nearly 2,000 square miles, making it larger than the state of Rhode Island. Approximately 300,000 people share living space in Anchorage with about 65 brown bears and 350 black bears.
So far this year, a total of seven bears have been killed in Alaska to protect either life or property. A black bear was spotted at the Eagle River Campground not long after the three teen hikers were mauled by the grizzly bear.

Liberation Programs has always had a special place in my heart. I served as Senior Vice President from 1996 to 2006 and I'm thrilled to be back. It's like coming home.
We know that 174 people die every day of a drug overdose. When we factor in alcohol, that number rises to 415. However, only 10 to 15 percent of the population in need of treatment receives it. Although there are countless obstacles that prevent people from seeking treatment – including stigma, shame and lack of insurance – one that is fairly easy to change is access to treatment.
Liberation is fully committed to increasing access to treatment for those in lower Fairfield County in the following ways.
We are adding recovery coaches to our team. A recovery coach helps individuals gain and maintain recovery by partnering with them to address their needs and provide support. They also engage with the community to encourage individuals who would benefit from treatment, but are hesitant to do so, to start the process.
Liberation believes in meeting people where they are, meaning we focus on doing whatever we can to keep a person alive. Many programs require a person to abstain from substances and alcohol in order to receive treatment. Instead of forcing abstinence on a person, Liberation offers a glimmer of hope and encourages them to start or continue with the recovery process. We do this by building trust and treating every person with dignity and respect.
There are too few licensed centers offering high-quality integrated behavioral health services in lower Fairfield County, which results in preventable overdose deaths and needless suffering. Our new Health & Wellness Center in Bridgeport will help serve more people in need of treatment. The center will enable us to increase the number of individuals we serve on a weekly basis from 600 to 800.
At the same time, in Stamford, the state has recognized the needs in the community and approved additional beds at Liberation House. This will increase our capacity by six percent.
As we close out the year, I'm excited to embark on our new initiatives in 2019. Our goal is simple: we want to save lives. No matter what stage of treatment a person is at, we will be there for them.


When most children get a hold of a camera, they begin to do one thing, point and shoot. Far too often children take too many pictures of nothing. Back in the day when digital photography didn't exist, a child could cost their parents a fortune in film and processing. If you have purchased your child their first digital camera, you need to teach them how to use it. Here are some tips to help your child with their first digital camera.
First, teach your child to experiment instead of taking the same picture over and over. Many children will grab the camera and snap the same subject without variation. Teach your child how to shoot from different angles. For example, teach them about close-ups and why they may need to step back to get a wider angle shot.
Second, show your child how to check the background so that they have a clear shot. Teach your child how to scan the foreground and background to make sure there aren't too many distractions.
Teach your child to have a clear background.
Third, teach your child how to hold the camera. If your child wants their pictures to look good, they need to learn how to hold the camera straight. You can teach them how to check the framing before they hit the shutter button. Blurred or fuzzy pictures result from poor technique. By showing your child how to hold the camera properly, you can avoid fuzzy images. You can also teach your child about a tripod and how to use it to avoid fuzzy pictures.
Fourth, you should also show your child how to get in close to their subject. The digital camera you purchase may have a zoom, but if it doesn't you should teach them how to get in close to your subject and capture the detail.
Fifth, teach your child that it's ok to take a bunch of photographs. The days of film photography are over and you won't waste a fortune developing all the pictures your child is taking. Taking a lot of pictures is a great way to learn about the different techniques of photography. Encourage your child to take pictures of different images instead of the same subject over and over.
Sixth, teach your child how to get a balance of the people and places they are taking pictures of. If you go on a family vacation, it may be fun to take pictures of the place you are visiting, but teach your child to take pictures of the people they are on the vacation with.
Seventh, teach your child about having a focal point. An interesting photograph has something interesting in it. Teach your child how to find a central point of interest and how to highlight it in their photograph by different positioning or by using their zoom.
Eighth, review your child's pictures with them. By looking over your child's pictures with them, you can help them improve their future photography skills. You can point out pictures with things they have done well and show them pictures that they can improve on for the future.
Ninth, show your child how to use focal lock. Most cameras have an auto focus feature, but there are many times pictures are out of focus because the camera is confused by the main subject. Show your child how the focus on their camera works so they won't have blurry pictures.
You can always enroll your child in photography lessons to teach your child extra skills. If your child is showing a great interest in photography, it may be beneficial to enroll them in courses that will help them as they age and move toward a future career.

"However, this trend towards social engineering and "nudging" individuals towards "better" behavior is also part of the Silicon Valley approach that holds that human problems can be solved once and for all through the disruptive power of technology."
"In that sense, perhaps the most shocking element of the story is not the Chinese government's agenda, but how similar it is to the path technology is taking elsewhere."
@bob @sifr at least with the Chinese Social Points System you can see the strings being pulled.
