Man fought off armed robbers in Avondale
Cameron Knight
cknight@enquirer.com
In a robbery in which at least five shots were fired, a man fought back against his attackers and escaped with only minor injuries, police said.
Christopher Allen, 26, was in his vehicle on Irving Street in Avondale on June 1 when a man pointed a gun at his face after asking him asking for a lighter, according to a police report.
Allen grappled with the man, knocking the gun away and placed him in a headlock, police reported. During the fight, Allen told police he heard at least five shots.
Allen only released the gunman after a second man, Derrel Gover, pointed a gun at him, ordering him to let go of the man or he would be shot, according to an affidavit.
The two suspects fled on foot after the confrontation without any of Allen's property.
Police said Allen suffered an injury to his right eye due to a muzzle blast from a gunshot fired during the fight. He was treated at University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
Gover was arrested June 5 and was identified by Allen from a photo, police said. He was charged with aggravated robbery, two counts of felonious assault, and an additional count of robbery.
Police are still searching for the other gunman.
Gover was released on a $15,000 bond on Saturday and is scheduled to appear in court again on July 1.

Isn't it sad to realize that in most of the times that we now remember as really happy times, we weren't actually as happy as we should have been. What a loss!
You wait for it excitedly. The moment comes and goes and you realize it wasn't as good as you hoped.
You wait for it in tension. The moment comes and goes and you realize it wasn't as bad as you feared.
No day, not even a moment is like any other before it. We just don't have the time to notice. We wake up every day groaning about the monotony, the tediousness of life and fail to realize the variety and adventure lying dormant in every single moment of every single day. Moments pass with unfathomable speed and with every passing second we change. And we are never the same again.
1. When you are trying to be different and everyone else is trying to be different too, aren't you actually trying to be the same?
2. When we say something is exactly two feet long, are we sure it is less than 2.00000001 and more than 1.99999999 feet? If not, aren't all measurements actually estimates?
3. Can it ever be empirically proven that something does not exist?
4. When protests against violence turn violent, aren't the protestors protesting against themselves?
5. If someone claims that he does not care about the society and wants the society to praise him for this, isn't he negating his own claim?
6. If you imagine the world exactly as it is, are you living in the real or the imaginary world?
7. Can reports that claim there are Weapons of Mass Destruction in a country, when in fact there aren't any, be called 'Intelligence' Reports?
8. Is a person intolerant if he cannot tolerate intolerance?
9. Why don't languages have different words for different things? (Why turn right, that answer is right, human rights, pagan rites??) I mean there are infinite possible words, aren't there?
10. Why did I include this question? Couldn't I have just changed the title to nine questions? And why is this called ten questions anyway, when there is actually more than one question at serial no.2, 9 and 10?
He was an ordinary man like you and me; spending his days in agony. There were moments when he was happy; but he wasn't sure if it was deliverance or ignorance or simple denial. He knew that any permanent solution to his troubles continued to evade him. He searched and searched but could not find a way out. And then one day… he heard of a sage, who lived in the wilderness, cut off from his age, alive in a universe of his own. They said he had the answer to everything, so he started on the journey to find him.

What Should We Expect from the New CETA Building?
November 6, 2018 Derek Smith5912
CETA_1: Taken from the road by the Hospitality Center, Facing Webster Hall. Taken by Ryan Barrett
As the roof for the new College of Engineering, Technology and Aeronautics (CETA) building is put up, many students have been wondering about how the construction of the new CETA building is going so far. According to Angela Foss, the associate dean of operations and innovation for CETA, "We will have our first official classes in the building in January of 2020 and will be moving in the equipment in the fall of 2019."
This timeline is only an estimate and will be affected based on weather throughout 2019.
According to Foss, they plan to put "a new quad in front of Washington [Hall] and CETA, there will be various sidewalks, greenery…[and] a lounge space." Foss wants this new quad to be a place where "students can hang out and have a good time and [have] somewhere to go between classes when the weather is good."
Sketch of Future CETA building (Entrance)
Design by Skanska Wilson HGA
According to University Campus President Patricia Lynott and Foss, there will be a café inside the new CETA building similar to ones in The Academic Center (ACC) along with some new "unique" learning spaces. One of these unique learning spaces is called the Conceive, Design, Implement and Operate (CDIO) hub. According to Foss, this room is designed with a "methodology about project-based learning particularly with engineering but can be used in a variety of disciplines." Foss also sees this hub as a "fun place to teach a variety of classes," and she hopes for some interdisciplinary work such as collaborations with the faculty for co-teaching courses along with student projects. According to Foss, there will also be an "ideation space which is meant to be a comfortable environment with lounge seating, with white boards and a display, so if you're in a design process… you can do that in any discipline." There will be four of these rooms and they are some of Foss's favorite rooms and in her opinion, the "flagship rooms" of the new CETA building.
One of Lynott's thoughts on the new building is that she hopes that "not only engineering students [will] use this building. It's like in the education building. We have a building just dedicated to education [and it] kind of makes me sad. I want more classes delivered over to there because it's going to be a great learning space."
Foss's thoughts on the matter are that she would also want more classes hosted in the new CETA building because when thinking about it as an engineer, you can create more when you have more diversity.
Some of Lynott's final thoughts on the new CETA building are, "we as a school, we invest so much into the students by investing on new buildings like this one."
Dr. Yan Xiang, the Dean of CETA, said, "we as a school are grateful for the new CETA building," and that she would like to help make the new building a 'STEM' hub.
Foss also said that this building was designed to be very inviting for all students, not just CETA students.

Aspar to remain biggest squad in MotoGP paddock
Published: 29 July 2011 Updated: 24 November 2014
Spain's high-profile Aspar squad will retain its status as the biggest squad in the Grand Prix paddock next season having confirmed plans to enter the new Moto3 four-stroke series in 2012.
The team, run by Jorge 'Aspar' Martinez, is the only squad to have involvement in all three classes and it has already confirmed plans to extend its MotoGP presence in 2012 by running a two-rider Ducati effort.
The Moto3 class replaces the current two-stroke 125GP class and Sporting Director Gino Borsoi told MCN: "125s for us now is the best image for the team because every race we are fighting for the podium. We think that next season that we want to race with teams in Moto3, Moto2 and MotoGP. If we have Moto3 and Moto2 then we can fight for the world championship."
The Aspar squad though has yet to decide which bike it will run in Moto3 and Borsoi added: "Now it is very difficult to decide. Moto2 was a little bit easier to understand because the engine is the same for everybody and you can just concentrate on the chassis. Now you must concentrate on both. If the chassis is not so good you can change quite quickly. But if the engine has some problem then you keep that problem for the whole season, so it is not an easy decision."

Q: Understanding proof about chromatic number Consider an undirected graph $K(n,k,i)$, with the all $k$-element subsets of $\{1,\dots,n\}$ as vertices, and two vertices connected by an edge if their sets intersect in less than $i$ elements.
This paper claims on page 74 (Theorem 5.1) that the chromatic number of $K(n,k,i)$ is at least $n-2k+2i$. However, their is a place in the proof of the theorem which I don't understand: They say that

Otherwise we would have two $k$-subsets of
  color $j$ such that each of them has at least $k - i + 1$ elements in one of two
  disjoint hemispheres, so their intersection has at most $i-1$ elements which is
  impossible.

Since the intersection can be of size up to $i-1$ in each hemisphere, don't we only get that it has size at most $2i-2$ in total?

A: This appears to be a genuine logical error.  If $k$ is at least twice $i-1$ and $n$ is large enough that we can cover the sphere in a fine dust, then almost any pair of antipodal points will correspond to hemispheres $H_1$, $H_2$ containing at least $k-i+1$ points from sets $S_1$, $S_2$  with intersection of size $2(i-1)$.

Marion City Council passes $100,000 small business grant proposal
Micah Walker
Marion Star
After two city council meetings and three special meetings, a proposal asking for the creation of a grant program for small businesses in Marion was approved.
Members of the Marion City Council voted 6-2 on the ordinance during a special meeting Wednesday. In addition, they unanimously passed another ordinance that appropriates $100,000 from the city's Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act fund specifically for the program.
Originally introduced by member Mike Neff, R-At Large, the document states that grants would be distributed to Marion businesses that were impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. Businesses could receive up to $2,500 in assistance, with the money going towards operating costs such as rent, mortgages, salaries and Personal Protective Equipment.
Download a grant application here
The auditor's office will be assisting local businesses with this process. Businesses will have until Nov. 10 to complete the application and turn it in to the auditor's office. Marion Area Chamber of Commerce President Matt Carbary told the Star Thursday that the chamber will send an email to more than 800 Marion businesses, members and non-members, to notify them of the program. The chamber will also help promote the program on social media.
During Wednesday's meeting, a few downtown Marion businesses spoke in favor of the grant, such as The Brickyard on Main and Topped owner Luke Henry. He said he thought the CARES Act money would be passed down to the local level to help businesses that did not qualify for state or national relief packages.
"This is an opportunity for the city to help to make a positive impact with those businesses," Henry said. "Consider this an investment for tomorrow, not just an expense for today."
Shovel City Drinkery co-owner Andrea Mullins also spoke, saying that is has been hard opening a business during the pandemic and having the 10 p.m. alcohol curfew.
"I know I speak for a lot of other business owners that can't be on tonight, but any little bit will help at this point to help us push through the winter here," she said.
Brave Woman Boutique owner Erica Jury brought up the now-failed amendment Ayers Ratliff, D-2nd Ward, brought up at Tuesday's meeting, which would have decreased the grant's allotted amount to $50,000, with the other $50,000 going towards a ventilation system for one of the fire stations. She didn't understand why the ventilation system was being considered for the COVID relief fund.
"My question is: Why are we dealing with it now, and which one are we wanting to worry about, and why are we not doing both?" Jury said.
After that amendment failed, Ratliff later offered another amendment, which would change the wording of the ordinance to "up to $100,000." That way, if money is left over, it can be used for other COVID-19 related expenses.
"It is an honor to serve the City of Marion and administer this vital program for our business community," said city auditor Robert Landon in a news release. "Small businesses are the backbone of our community and provide the important tax base which the City of Marion depends upon for revenue. Without them, we would not be able to provide the various services we do to our community. I want to thank Marion City Council, City Administration, and other community leaders for coming together to help make this program a reality."

MailChimp Update Plain Text Editing is Gone
Got a reply from MailChimp newsletter support to confirm that indeed plain text editing (see our conversation trail and the full reply below), which used to be a part of the workflow of composing a newsletter is removed. Only 1% of MailChimp users take advantage of the feature. The company I work for AirPair - instant access to world's best developers via pair programming on video chats takes quality control seriously, and always devotes time to editing the plain text edition (some developers may prefer this version, as it is similar and non-cluster like many other news, group, digests and news/releases of development tools they subscribe to). We are "MailChimp 1%"!
MailChimp used to have an option allowing editing plain text form of a newsletter. It's the ultimate plain form (possibly the most readable, definitely the most light-weight), the next is probably with images disabled (with the alts displayed), then there's the full multimedia versions, some even with GIF embedded (like General Assembly ones).
During our weekly newsletter sprint, I noticed that the feature is missing and tweeted +MailChimp @mailchimphttp://www.twitter.com/mailchimp
Gasp @mailchimp took away the Plain Text editing option? Where can I find a blog post/ release about this? What's the deal behind it
— Sun (@i_stanford) March 11, 2014
Thankfully the reply came quickly with a full reply!
Read the full-length MailChimp support reply regarding plain text editing being removed or see the screenshot below.
@i_stanford Hello Sun, the Plain Text step of the campaign editing process has indeed been removed from ... https://t.co/ZQX9HAtCKm
— MailChimp (@MailChimp) March 11, 2014
Meat of the reply:
"after a great deal of research, our UX team discovered that only about 1% of active users were actually altering the content on the Plain Text step. As a result, the decision was made to elimate the separate Plain Text step and the Campaign Builder will now automatically package the content contained within the HTML portion of the campaign with the plain text content when the campaign is sent." - MailChimp
MailChimp support eased my mind instantly that I am not going insane when discovered that the Plain Text Editing is missing. It turns out to be a deliberate design decision in MailChimp's v9.0 release.
Thank you awesome growth boss +Igor Lebovic showing me how to be a +MailChimp super user one step at a time. Of course we are a startup, and our newsletter is not perfect each time, but just proud that we spend a lot of time on quality control, iteration, and really think about testing and deploying newsletters rather than just publishing.
10 Surprises at YCombinator's First Female Founders Conference
March 1, 2014 is a game changing day: for the first time ever, YCombinator's usual demo day spot (the Computer Science museum in Mountain View) has a room full of wonderful women, and not just women, FemEngineers and extraordinary #femalefounders! Everyone at the conference is optimistic that 2014 is the pivoting year when female founders rise to the occasion and take leadership posts in advancing product innovation and entrepreneurship. Here are some highlights, surprises and unusually touching, shocking, and inspiring moments.
Adora Cheung (co-founder of Homejoy) gave an unusual speech about the ups and downs of entrepreneurs, who are "sprinting a marathon" full of surprises and hurdles. Her rise to success took maxing out her credit card, becoming nearly homeless, brushing teeth at McDonald's and becoming a "cleaning lady" and had to justify why she wanted to clean with a college degree. (I personally think she's the best speaker. YC alumni seem to all agree that her speech was inspirational).
Jessica Livingston (partner at Y Combinator) recalling having to do everything that was non-technical at the founding of Y Combinator: from doing tax to carrying air conditioners. And working hard with her baby boy on the desk, next to her work station.
Jessica Livingston (partner at Y Combinator) announced the Female Founder conference on the YC blog, yet Paul Graham was the cover of Inc.'s press.
More than 50% of the room raised their hands when asked if she is an engineer!
More than 50% of the room raised their hands when asked if she is a founder!
Kathryn Minshew (co-founder at The Muse) and her team were rejected by more than 10 accelerators in NYC before getting accepted into Y Combinator. Kathryn is also a super fast talking ex-McKinsey consultant (yay, consultants! Disclaimer: I am an ex-consultant too). Her team all left their glamorous job to found their dream startup.
Jessica Mah (co-founder at inDinero.com) went from poster startup child on newspapers and the president of UC Berkeley's Computer Science club to getting five-star office spaces with Jacuzzi hot tub, to nearly broke, had to let go of everyone, went through a lot of self doubt, to land in the typical startup in the living room/garage situation. She and her co-founder each had a room in a house, and hack with the entire team in the living room. Some say she's the very best speaker.
The audience is super amazing! Among the audience, there are serial entrepreneurs, startup 1st employees, engineers, PhD's and graduates of all kinds of bootcamps including Dev Bootcamp, Hackbright, and Coding Dojo (lolz myself?). There's NatashatheRobot, Michelle Sun a Hackbright graduate and a Buffer engineer who went to found the First Code Academy in Hong Kong, China, Vanessa Hurst who co-founded Girls Develop It and Code Montage. Jessica Greenwalt, a Y Combinator crowdsourced medical info startup co-founder, Vivian Xue the founder of The Box Noir and Soothie in Los Angeles. The list goes on and on and is nothing short of being inspiring.
34.5 % of women founders have started companies with their spouse/ significant other. It is still unfortunately true that women may have trouble finding co-founders at time. Founding a company with a significant other can be potentially a hack. PG and Jessica have been co-founders at YCombinator when they got married.
Last but not least, women have founded or co-founded extraordinary startups. It's still a "surprise" though already a fact because there isn't enough coverage yet. Homejoy, The Muse, Eventbrite, InDinero, YCombinator, HireArt, VMWare, Science Exchange, and many more!!
If there's a take away from Female Founders and the annual Startup School : found a startup now, it's not easy, there will be ups and downs, yet it is extremely rewarding! There's a huge network of founders already, ready to share their experiences.
While not a founder yet, Dilys has been blogging about technology and startup life in the Silicon Valley. She was previously the Codecademy Girl at the Crunchies 2012 award ceremony, and has been writing about learn-to-code, women in technology and web development bootcamps ever since. Her passion is to share the Silicon Valley busy daily moments with her readers via her CodeSumBlog. Dilys currently works at a YC-backed startup - AirPair.com, and previously worked at codecademy.com, another YC-backed startup. Press about Dilys Sun

What is a good book about renovating an old home DIY?
I'm planning on buying a fixer-upper and I want a manual with instructions for DIY home repair. Comprehensive, but not overly technical. I like diagrams. Thanks! Hi, There are some highly rated renovation books here http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=renovating%20old%20houses&tag=recommended0b-20&index=books&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325 Hope this helps.


This is a personal itch I had to scratch, instead waiting for our accountant to update the exchange rates in SBO to allow us enter new orders, I wrote a small PowerShell script to do that for us.
The script is quite simple and I didn't put much effort to cover all corner cases so keep that in mind if you intend to use it. What the script dose, it connect to BOI API service at http://www.boi.org.il/currency.xml and fetch the exchange rates for the current date as, if no ER (exchange rate) was published that day, it will go back one day (up to 7 days) and will try to fetch the ER of the day before.
## The magic query, this will INSERT (if missing) / UPDATE (if exists) -- "UPSERT"
#return Invoke-Sqlcmd -Database $SQLDBNAME -Username $DB_USER -Password $DB_PASS -Query "SELECT * FROM ORTT WITH (nolock) WHERE RateDate='$date' ORDER BY ratedate DESC"
notify_by_mail -body "$ErrorMessage" -subject "SAP Powershell script Error: $FailedItem"
Write-Debug "No exchange rate published for this date[$rdate]"
#return "ERROR: Recursive limit reached"
notify_by_mail -body "ERROR: Recursive limit reached"


Comment on Action on trees, climate, arts & culture by RayB.
Great idea to have P&W Corp remove & replace butchered trees. However, let us not replant new trees under power lines! How dumb is it to plant them where they will need to be trimmed (butchered) again in a few years. Let's use some common sense this time and plant where no power lines are, to prevent them from ever coming into contact with high voltage. Trees are beautiful, but imagine a child climbing a tree that is close to power lines? Way past time to get smart.
It will start with one or two Aboriginal communities allowing the fracking on their land, getting rich, and throwing off their welfare shackles.
Surrounding communities will see their neighbours get rich, while they continue to live in poverty under the council and government systems.
Soon they'll turn to the oil and gas companies, open up their land to oil, gas, and mineral extraction.
They won't need us anymore and will finally be free, economically and politically. Free at last.
The next CADRA Cruze is this Sunday, April 9, to Jim's Place / Stuart's Well!
We meet at the Gapview Hotel at 10am. No Entry Fee!
There will be an optional BBQ lunch for $16 when we get there.
More info at www.cadra.com.au, facebook.com/ASID.CADRA or phone 0411 669 949.
Come out. The weather will be much cooler this time!
ASTC has been planting trees under power lines for decades – and that is decades of stupidly endangering our safety.
Drive along Bloomfield Street, or any other street in the Gillen area, and you will see hundreds of wretched, butchered trees under power lines that should never have been planted there in the first place.
You can find them along every street in town where there are above ground power lines.
Power and Water Authority cuts back these poor trees to protect us from power outages or electrocution when trees come into contact with high voltage lines.
The costs of PAWA tree trimming are either passed on to us in our power bills or paid by our taxes; not free. The only reason PAWA has to do this is because of the stupid placement of trees along our streets under the power lines.
Alice Springs Town Council, hello? It's time to get smart! Let's recycle all these poor old trees, and plant new ones where they can grow to their full potential without the need to butcher them in future for public safety.
Thanks to the Ilparpa Claypan Lovers for the hard work.
We have been going to the claypans for many years, usually after the rains fill it with water, and we always leave the place clean, no trash left behind.
It is too bad some use it as a dumping ground for old cars and rubbish.
We all enjoy it so let us leave it the way we found it for others who follow.
And yes, you can drive a 4WD at the claypans and act responsibly, as we do. Thanks again.

Pope shows rock star appeal with million-man audience on Copacabana beach
It was one of the key questions of the first overseas trip of the first Pope from outside Europe in more than a millennium – would he pass the Mick Jagger test?

By Nick Squires, Rio de Janeiro
12:18PM BST 27 Jul 2013
The Rolling Stones drew a million fans to Copacabana beach, Rio's fabled arc of white sand, when they performed a concert in 2006.
Seven years on, Pope Francis passed the test with flying colours – on Thursday night, despite driving rain, chilly conditions and a pewter-grey sea, well over a million excited young Catholics packed onto the beach for one of the highlights of the pontiff's week-long visit to Brazil.
The Catholic youth, speaking dozens of languages and with the flags of their countries draped around their shoulders or fluttering from poles, started streaming onto Copacabana hours before the Pope's arrival in a white open-sided jeep.
Some plunged into the surf, despite the appalling weather, while others made little makeshift camps on the sand, laying out towels and sarongs and flags to sit on while they waited for Francis to climb up onto a stage backed by a giant cross illuminated by a blue light.
While Jagger, Keith Richards and the rest of the Stones belted out Sympathy for the Devil and other classics during one of the biggest concerts of their career, 76-year-old Francis brought a rather more reverent tone to the three-mile stretch of sand, warning the sea of young faithful against the false god of consumerism.

Priest at centre of Vatican money scandal insists he 'never stole' in letter to Pope
"Possessions, money and power can give a momentary thrill, the illusion of being happy, but they end up possessing us and making us always want to have more, never satisfied," he said, in a homily unlikely to have struck a chord with the multi-millionaire Rolling Stones.
He may have been dressed in a billowing white cassock rather than tight jeans and a leather jacket, but the South American pope showed he had just as much, if not more, pulling power than the British bad boys of rock 'n roll.
It is pure luck that the first overseas trip of the first Latin American Pope was back to his home continent – the decision to host World Youth Day, the main focus of the visit, in Rio was decided two years ago, and it would have been presided over by Benedict XVI had he not shocked the world's 1.2 billion Catholics by resigning in March.
But the coincidence of a South American Pope making his first foreign trip to South America's biggest country was a gift for the Vatican, with Francis charming Rio just as he has seduced Rome in the past four months.
On Friday, when he took part in a lavish Stations of the Cross procession, again along Copacabana, young people sprinted along the promenade chanting his name, clutching crucifixes and flags, while the crowd once more numbered more than a million.
"I was very moved, it was an amazing display of music and light," said Catherine Anderson, 27, a marketing consultant from London, as she waved a giant Union Jack on Copacabana beach.
"To see all the flags from different countries and hear all the different languages...the person next to you could be from Timbuktu but you know have the same faith."
A group of American pilgrims from Brooklyn sported bright red sweatshirts with messages on the back in three languages – Viva El Papa, Viva O Papa and Long Live the Pope.
A young man from Angola clambered onto a steel frame and unfurled his country's flag, its machete crossed with a giant cog resembling a hammer and sickle.
Apart from the inclement weather, the Vatican could not have better scripted the trip to a country that the first Portuguese settlers called Terra de Santa Cruz, or Land of the Holy Cross, when they stepped ashore 500 years ago.
Francis has been given a rock star reception ever since he set foot on Brazilian soil on Monday, after a 12-hour flight from Rome.
His modest silver Fiat car – not for him the usual slick, black limo with darkened windows - was mobbed by well-wishers when it got stuck in traffic, causing panic among his security guards, who almost lost control of the situation.
The trip to Brazil, which ends on Sunday with a huge open-air Mass on Copacabana, was more than a just a cosy love-in with Catholic youth from around the world.
As he has done in Rome, Francis delivered some hard-hitting messages -- about the rights of the poor, the war on drugs in South America, and the controversial "pacification" of Brazil's favelas, or shantytowns, ahead of next year's World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics, one of which he toured on foot.
He also urged young Catholics to shake up the Church, urging them to make a "mess" in their dioceses by going out to preach on the streets.
He made the surprise remarks during an encounter with pilgrims from his native Argentina, in an event that was organised at the last minute.
"What is it that I expect as a consequence of World Youth Day? I want a mess. We knew that in Rio there would be great disorder, but I want trouble in the dioceses!" he said, speaking off the cuff in his native Spanish. "I want to see the Church get closer to the people." The unexpected meeting and the unscripted remarks underlined two of the hallmarks of Francis's four-month-old papacy – energy and unpredictability that leaves exasperated Vatican aides trailing in his wake.
Not only is he 76; he had most of one lung removed following an infection in his youth.
"Everyone around him is exhausted," Father Thomas Rosica, a Vatican spokesman and one of the key members of the papal camp, told The Sunday Telegraph. "He's in his element – when I saw him in the favela, he looked very much at home. There's nothing staged about his manner – it's very real."
Robert Mickens, a Vatican analyst with The Tablet, the UK Catholic weekly, said: "He's done some very long days in pretty awful weather. For someone of his age he has shown remarkable stamina.
"He looks to me like a man on a mission, and that mission is to re-energise a Church which looked very tired and static under the papacy of Benedict XVI."
But Francis is open to charges of being all style and no substance. He is skilled at delivering the personal touch – kissing babies, climbing off the Pope-mobile to hug severely physically disabled people and speaking from the heart.
Less clear-cut are the concrete steps he has taken to reform the Catholic Church and repair its tarnished image.
"At the symbolic level, the first four months have been a tour de force. At the substance level you have to be struck by how relatively little has happened since his election," said John Allen, the author of books on the Vatican and an analyst with the US-based National Catholic Reporter.
"He was elected on a reform mandate from the rest of the cardinals, many of whom openly voiced frustration with the state of the Church. To date the most dramatic things he has done are to set up three commissions that so far have not produced anything."
The crunch time will come in the autumn.
It is then that Francis is widely expected to replace Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, who as secretary of state is not only his right-hand man but also effectively "prime minister" of the Vatican City State. He has been widely judged not to be up to the job.
And Francis's moves to reform the intrigue-ridden Vatican bank, which in recent weeks has been swept up in a gay sex scandal and a money laundering plot involving an Italian secret service agent and a Catholic monsignor, need to start bearing fruit.
"Even now there's a low level impatience among some senior figures in the Church," said Mr Allen. "If they don't see results by the autumn, that will grow into open concern."
None of those issues have loomed large during the Pope's week in Rio, where he was, quite literally, preaching to the converted.
His audience of young Catholics has been hugely receptive – when he stepped off a Brazilian army helicopter at a military base at one end of Copacabana on Friday night, teenage girls from Venezuela and Argentina squealed as if they had just spotted Justin Bieber.
Beyond the confines of World Youth Day, things are not nearly so rosy for the Church.
It has seen a precipitous decline in the number of Brazilians who call themselves Catholic, from 92 per cent in 1970 to around 64 per cent today.
By contrast, the country's burgeoning evangelical and Pentecostal churches attract more people by the day.
The number of evangelical Brazilians has grown from five per cent of the population in 1970 to 22 per cent.
The evangelical churches, which are very active in Brazil's impoverished favelas, champion the pursuit of material wealth and success, while the Pope has this week espoused the values of his namesake St Francis of Assisi – simplicity, modesty and a rejection of materialism.
Tucked away down a side-street in Rio's Botafogo district lies one of the tiny, unadorned evangelical chapels that is challenging the might of Rome.
"The Catholic Church is in crisis not just in Brazil but around the whole world," said Jose Oliveira Maia, 57, the pastor of the Assembleia de Deus (Assembly of God) church, a first-floor room with a wooden pulpit, a row of cheap red chairs and plain walls.
"We [the evangelists] go into the favelas, the ghettos, to bring our message to people who have guns and weapons. I don't see the Catholic Church doing this. There are more evangelical churches in favelas than Catholic churches," said the preacher, who abandoned Catholicism 14 years ago.
"The Pope says lots of nice things but does nothing really in practice. I don't think many will go back to the Catholic Church after his visit."
The dramatic defections to Protestant evangelism are of concern to Francis, said Father Rosica. "This visit is not about levelling blame over the haemorrhage (of faithful) but to ask how we can give people a reason to stay. It's about being present for people rather than heavy-duty theologising."
While Catholicism is on the back foot in his home continent of South America, the summer scandals in the Vatican simmer on.
Independent experts are scouring the Vatican bank for evidence of money-laundering, tax evasion and fraud, while the monsignor who allegedly tried to smuggle 20 million euros from Switzerland on board a private jet languishes in a Rome prison.
As he flies out of Brazil tonight, Francis may find that the magic of the Cidade Maravilhosa, or Wondrous City as Rio is known, will start to rub off all too soon.

Citation: Luo, Z., Brock, J., Dyer, J.M., Kutchan, T., Augustin, M., Scachtman, D., Ge, Y., Fahlgren, N., Abdel-Haleem, H.A. 2019. Genetic diversity and population structure of a Camelina sativa spring panel. Frontiers in Plant Science. 10:184.
Interpretive Summary: Camelina sativa (L. Crantz), a crop originated from southeastern Europe and southwestern Asia, is showing renewed public interest due to its exceptional level of omega-3 essential fatty acids and high seed oil content. These oil qualities, combined with positive agronomic attributes such as early maturity, low-input requirements for water, nutrients and pesticides, broader adaptability to diverse environments and resistance against insects and pathogens, make C. sativa an ideal alternative resource for biofuel and animal feedstock in the development of sustainable agriculture. Studies on genetic diversity and population structure are important for characterizing the natural selection history and genetic relationships among C. sativa accessions. And these will facilitate the faster genetic enhancement and efficient breeding progresses such as marker-assisted selection. In this study, high-throughput genotyping-by-sequencing technology was used to explore genetic diversity and adaptation among Camelina sativa accessions and the possibility of utilizing single nucleotide polymorphic markers for genomic analyses in Camelina genetic enhancement. Based on our data, the panel was genetically diverse. This level of genetic diversity could be the basis for developing new Camelina cultivars with desirable characteristics such as high yield potential, high oil production and tolerance to abiotic stress while being adapted to diverse environments. Moreover, our study identified two subpopulations which could be explained by their geographical differentiation and natural selection and regional adaptation history. The subpopulation that originated mainly from former soviet-union region is more diverse than the subpopulation that originated from Germany, based on genetic differentiation estimators. Knowledge of population structure and genetic diversity of Camelina sativa accessions is important for future genetic studies such as genomic selection, marker-assisted selection and genome-wide association studies.
Technical Abstract: There is a need to explore renewable alternatives (e.g., biofuels) that can produce energy sources to help reduce the reliance on fossil oils. In addition, the consumption of fossil oils adversely affects the environment and human health via the generation of waste water, greenhouse gases, and waste solids. Camelina sativa, originated from southeastern Europe and southwestern Asia, is being re-embraced as an industrial oilseed crop due to its high seed oil content (36–47%) and high unsaturated fatty acid composition (>90%), which are suitable for jet fuel, biodiesel, high-value lubricants and animal feed. C. sativa's agronomic advantages include short time to maturation, low water and nutrient requirements, adaptability to adverse environmental conditions and resistance to common pests and pathogens. These characteristics make it an ideal crop for sustainable agricultural systems and regions of marginal land. However, the lack of genetic and genomic resources has slowed the enhancement of this emerging oilseed crop and exploration of its full agronomic and breeding potential. Here, a core of 213 spring C. sativa accessions was collected and genotyped. The genotypic data was used to characterize genetic diversity and population structure to infer how natural selection and plant breeding may have affected the formation and differentiation within the C. sativa natural populations, and how the genetic diversity of this species can be used in future breeding efforts. A total of 6,192 high-quality single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified using genotypingby-sequencing (GBS) technology. The average polymorphism information content (PIC) value of 0.29 indicate moderate genetic diversity for the C. sativa spring panel evaluated in this report. Population structure and principal coordinates analyses (PCoA) based on SNPs revealed two distinct subpopulations. Sub-population 1 (POP1) contains accessions that mainly originated from Germany while the majority of POP2 accessions (>75%) were collected from Eastern Europe. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) identified 4% variance among and 96% variance within subpopulations, indicating a high gene exchange (or low genetic differentiation) between the two subpopulations. These findings provide important information for future allele/gene identification using genome wide association studies (GWAS) and marker-assisted selection (MAS) to enhance genetic gain in C. sativa breeding programs.

Emotional Eva de Goede: 'Bizarre that we did this'
Eva de Goede could not fully comprehend it after the Olympic final. The captain of the Orange Women took her third gold medal after the 3-1 win over the Argentines at the Oi Hockey Stadium in Tokyo.
"I still don't believe it," said an emotional De Goede in front of the NOS Studio Sport camera. "It's so bizarre that we've done this. This is so beautiful and I'm so proud of all those girls. Really super handsome.'
TOKIO – Eva de Goede juicht na het winnen van de finale tussen Nederland en Argentinie op het olympisch hockeytoernooi in het Oi Hockey stadion op de Olympische Spelen van Tokio. ANP ROBIN VAN LONKHUIJSEN
By winning the Olympic title, the Orange Women own all titles: the world title, the European title and the win in tournaments such as the Pro League, Champions Trophy and the Hockey World League.
'Winning every tournament is not easy', De Goede continues. "It's the hardest part of all to stay number one and we just get it done. This is really very special. The pressure was high. From ourselves, from everyone. We know teams want to beat us all, but we continue to do well as a team. It doesn't fall apart. The chemistry is good.'
penalty corners
The final was decided by penalty corners. It was a part that did not go smoothly during the tournament, but the corner ran smoothly when it had to. Caia van Maasakker made two of the three hits. With that she gave herself a beautiful farewell as a top hockey player.

Finish with Olympic gold. Yes, you can't think of anything better', Van Maasakker admitted. 'The joy is so great. I can hardly put it into words. We have Olympic gold. We've got him!'
The Olympic title also caused emotions for national coach Alyson Annan. She especially praised the team. 'The past year and a half has been very tough, in the programming, in everything we have had to experience. Fortunately, we have amazing players and an amazing team. It's just such a lovely group to work with. I'm just really proud of that. That's what dominates now. We're just really a team.
It was Annan's third Olympic title. As a player of Australia, she won the highest hockey gold in 1996 and 2000. 'Both are equally beautiful. As a player you are on the field and you have influence on what happens. As a coach you can only steer and guide and try to get the best out of the players, as a player and as a person. I have to say as a coach it is very nice to experience this with this group of ladies. Pride predominates in me.'

In 2018, an Obama-appointed judge, Tanya Walton-Pratt, who has consistently ruled against pro-life laws, slapped down a similar Indiana law requiring an ultrasound 18 hours prior to an abortion as part of informed consent. The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the ruling. Life Site News reported at that time, "The court claimed that rather than 'serv[ing] the intended goal of persuading women to carry a pregnancy to term,' the offer to see an ultrasound and the 18-hour delay were nothing more than a 'large barrier.'" The same judge claimed that the state's informed consent informational brochure which claimed that life begins at fertilization is still a "debated" idea.
While some may "debate" the idea of life beginning at the moment the sperm fertilizes the ovum, it is, indeed, a scientific fact, which embryologists and scientists have stated and observed for many, many years. And ultrasound allows women to see the truth about the human beings growing in their wombs.


The goal of this project was to first create a brand and then design a package along with an advertising campaign. As an avid cold brew coffee drinker I wanted to bring something unique to the market. My solution was to create a 3 liter box wine style package that could be sold in grocery stores nation wide.


As a former adviser to one of Congress's most ardent foes of earmarking, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), I've served time on the front-lines of the battle to end the corruptive practice. Yet, I never felt quite comfortable about the mission. At the same time I was assisting the senator in his floor battles against the likes of ex-Sen. Ted Stevens (Porker-AK), some of my other colleagues had been instructed to help Oklahomans get "their fair share" of subsidies from various federal grant programs.
Critics of the Republicans' earmark ban have a point when they argue that it won't save a lot of money. While the tawdry and often questionable uses of earmarked money draw a lot of attention, it represents less than half of 1% of total federal spending.
Yes, earmarking greases the skids for bigger spending and more intrusive government. Policymakers are more willing to support a particular piece of legislation if it contains goodies for their district or state. But earmarked money almost always comes from federal programs that are themselves constitutionally and practically dubious.
In the wake of the earmarking ban by Republicans, much of the debate has centered on the propriety of Congress abdicating its "power of the purse" to the executive branch. This argument is largely irrelevant considering that Congress long ago delegated much of its decision-making power to the executive branch. The delegation was necessitated by the explosion in the size and scope of the federal government: there simply aren't enough hours in the day for Congress to divvy up the gigantic sack of loot.
As an instructive article in the New York Times explains, eliminating earmarks won't even stop policymakers from using their pull to steer federal funds toward parochial interests. Policymakers will just send letters to federal agencies ("lettermarking") requesting targeted funding or call agencies ("phonemarking") with their requests. Agency officials have an incentive to comply because policymakers determine their budgets.
Congressional Republicans have finally figured out that opposing earmarks is good politics, which explains the magic change in heart by earmarking kingpins like incoming House Appropriations Committee chairman Hal Rogers (R-Ky.). But if Republicans are really serious about reining in the size and scope of the federal government, they'll go after the parochial programs that make earmarking possible. Therefore, tea party types and others concerned with runaway federal spending would be wise to hold Republicans accountable for the federal spending ends rather than the means.
To be sure, there's enough mischief at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue to go around, but it's the growth of spending, most on matters unauthorized by the Constitution, that is far and away the larger problem. McConnell calls for congressional oversight "to monitor how the money taxpayers send to the administration is actually spent." Far more important will be hearings to determine whether Congress has constitutional authority to appropriate money on any particular matter in the first place.
Thus, the new Congress needs to see through the false alternative the earmarks debate has engendered. At bottom, it's not a question of whether Congress or the president shall decide. Rather, after administration input, all but ministerial spending decisions belong to Congress — as constrained by the Constitution. Thus, if the voice of the electorate is to be respected, new and old members alike need to attend first to their oath of office.

Q: Can a Suslin line be 2-entangled? A Suslin line is a linear order $L$ which is dense with no endpoints, complete, and ccc but not separable.  I'm wondering what kind of order-preserving maps there are from $L$ into $L$.  Specifically,
Question: Can there be a Suslin line $L$ such that for every one-to-one, monotonic function $f$ from an uncountable subset of $L$ into $L$, the set of $x\in\mathrm{dom}(f)$ with $f(x)\neq x$ is countable?
The motivation for this question is the following.  A linear order $L$ is $n$-entangled if for every uncountable set $A$ of pairwise-disjoint $n$-tuples in $L$, and for every $s : n\to 2$, there are $a,b\in A$ such that $a_i < b_i$ if and only if $s(i) = 0$, for all $i < n$.  One can show that a linear order $L$ is $2$-entangled if and only if it is rigid, in the sense that every one-to-one, monotonic function on an uncountable subset of $L$ is equal to the identity on a co-countable subset of its domain.
It's not difficult to show that a weakening of the Open Coloring Axiom implies there are no $2$-entangled sets of reals.  However, OCA is consistent with the existence of a Suslin line.  So an answer to the above question would provide evidence for an answer to the following.
Question: Is OCA consistent with the existence of a $2$-entangled linear order?
Edit: I forgot to mention why entangledness is relevant.  A $3$-entangled linear order is necessarily separable, so $2$-entangledness is the most you might possibly get out of a Suslin line.

A: Your property is too strong; there is no Suslin line like that.
The reason is that every Suslin line contains a copy of the real line, and we can define a counterexample function $f$ that concentrates only on this copy of $\mathbb{R}$. Specifically, suppose that $L$ is a Suslin line. Since the order is dense, we may find a copy of the rational line $\mathbb{Q}$ inside $L$, that is, a suborder $Q\subset L$ which is a countable dense endless order. Since $L$ is complete, we may add points to $Q$ realizing all the Dedekind cuts in $Q$, thereby extending $Q$ to a suborder $R\subset L$ that is order-isomorphic to the real line $\mathbb{R}$. Now, we may define $f$ on this copy of $\mathbb{R}$ to be the analogue of adding one, say, or any other order-preserving map with no fixed points. This gives an injective order-preserving map $f:R\to R$ for an uncountable subset $R\subset L$, with no fixed points.
Meanwhile, a positive answer is possible if one considers an analogue of your property on the underlying Suslin tree. Your property on the underlying Suslin trees is a kind of strong rigidity property of the kind considered in my article

*

*G. Fuchs and J. D. Hamkins, Degrees of rigidity for Souslin trees, J. Symbolic Logic, vol. 74, iss. 2, pp. 423-454, 2009.

In that article, we define that a Suslin tree $T$ has the unique branch property if forcing with $T$ necessarily adds only one branch through the tree. This is a strengthening of rigidity, since if $T$ has a nontrivial automorphism $\pi$, then one find a condition $x$ in $T$ with $\pi(x)\neq x$, and then forcing below $x$ will add two branches, namely, the generic branch $g$ and also $\pi[g]$, which will be different. We show that the Suslin trees obtained by the usual forcing to add a Suslin tree have the unique branch property, and also one can construct them in $L$ using the $\Diamond$ principle.
This is an analogue of your property for the trees:
Theorem. If $T$ is a Suslin tree with the unique branch property, then there is no function $f:S\to T$ with $S$ an uncountable set of extensions of a fixed node $x$, where $f(x)\perp x$.
Proof. Consider the uncountable set $S\subset T$. We may regard $S$ as a tree on its own, and in fact, $S$ is a Suslin tree. Force with $S$, so that we add an $\omega_1$-branch $b$ through $s$ in $V[b]$. It follows that the image $f[b]$ of this branch is a cofinal branch through $T$, and this is a different branch because $x\perp f(x)$. But note that $b$ is a cofinal branch through $T$, and since $T$ is Suslin, it follows that $b$ is also generic for forcing over $T$. Thus, in the forcing extension $V[b]$, we have two branches through $T$, which violates the unique branch property. QED

A: Regarding the second question:
Definition: $A \subset \mathbb{R}$ of power $\aleph_1$ is called an increasing set if in every uncountable set of pairwise disjoint finite sequences from A there are two sequences $<a_i>$ and $<b_i>$ having the same length such that for all i $a_i<b_i$.
If $A$ is increasing then any strickly order reversing $f:A'\to A$ ($A'$ an uncountable subset of $A$) has a fixpoint.
In their paper "On the consistency of some partition theorems for continuous colorings and the structure of $\aleph_1$-dense real order types" Abraham, Rubin and Shelah prove the consistency of OCA and an increasing set (a somewhat analogue of a 2-entangled set as explained above). Note that Todorcevic' Open Coloring Axiom is a related but differently defined axiom than that of Abraham, Rubin and Shelah.

The Renegade Solution to Not Using Cocktail Napkins or Coasters
Despite the fact that it has just 25 seats in an intimate space, there's a lot to look at inside the sleek Hong Kong craft cocktail bar The Old Man. The focal point of the space, an homage to the literature, history and folklore of Ernest Hemingway, is a cubist portrait of Papa himself on a marble background with inlaid tiles. The bar is named after his novel "The Old Man and the Sea," about an aging fisherman struggling with a marlin off the coast of Cuba; and his short story and novel titles form the drink monikers on the menu.
Behind the bar are a rotary evaporator, a sous vide machine and other tools that look more at home in a science lab than they are in a cocktail lounge. There are also unlabeled bottles of booze lined up on the built-in shelves, a testament to owner and founder Agung Prabowo's commitment to the ingredients rather than certain brands being the star in his sips.
And then there's what you won't see: bartenders slapping a cocktail napkin or coaster on the bartop before serving you your drink. Instead, your drink will be set on a polished matte strip of metal that runs the length of the bar, a creative solution that came to Prabowo in a dream. "The Old Man was under construction, and I literally saw a frozen cooling strip in gold on the bar table," he says. "So I made it happen with my own bar." The Old Man debuted last year as the No. 5 bar in Asia and No. 10 globally on the list of The World's 50 Best Bars.
Though he's a bit vague about details or price, since the invention is tailormade, Prabowo worked closely with his contractor when the speakeasy was under construction to create a built-in coaster of sorts that he believes isn't found anywhere else.
"I have checked, and there's no bar in Hong Kong, nor in the world, that has this unique design," says Prabowo. Basically, it works similarly to the cooling system in a home refrigerator, but instead of being hidden inside the appliance, it's in plain sight on the table. There's no special maintenance required; staff simply switches it on when the bar is open and off again when they are wrapping up for the evening. Occasionally, the compressor defrosts, causing the cooling strip to condense, but it's easily wiped away with a bar towel.
The cold strip serves a dual purpose, says Prabowo. First of all, it does a pretty killer job of keeping drinks cold that are served in rocks, highball or stemless glasses. A Clean Well-Lighted Place, for example, mixes blackened oat rum, rectified cola and coca leaves and is topped with vanilla "lather." It comes in a rocks glass but not over ice, but when kept on the strip in-between sips, it remains as chilled by the last drop as when it was first strained.
Ditto for the Hills Like White Elephants, where honey mead riesling is stirred with bamboo-sous-vide Cocchi Americano bianco vermouth and salted fino sherry and garnished with aerated cava berries and a pea shoot. For the flavors and texture to truly stay balanced, it really needs to stay cold, and the device is up to the challenge.
But even for cocktails like A Movable Feast (a savory Martini–Bloody Mary mashup strained over a large rock and garnished with an oyster leaf) or the In Our Time (which shakes clarified banana ghee with celery, salted tequila and banana skin tincture), the cooling strip serves another purpose. It eliminates single-use cocktail napkins and coasters, as well as reusable ones that can prove to be costly over time.
"I think some bars still need napkins or coasters, especially hotel bars," says Prabowo. "But for me, I just wanted to present something different in the market by introducing an environmentally friendly 'coaster' with less waste."
It does have one tiny design flaw on occasion, admits Prabowo. "Very seldomly, the glass sticks onto it, depending on how we set the temperature." But let's face it—that can just as easily happen with napkins and coasters. Prabowo recently opened a new location in Singapore, where he has also installed this unique element. Now that's pretty cool.

Darren Sproles runs for a first down late in the fourth quarter.
It was a glimpse into the nature of the smallest, most respected player on the Eagles' roster, the competitiveness that has pushed Sproles through 14 NFL seasons and a career that could land him in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and on the next play, coach Doug Pederson and Foles obliged him. The Houston Texans tried to cover Sproles with linebacker Zach Cunningham. Cunningham is 24 and Sproles is 35, but this was still the sort of one-sided matchup you see on a Discover Channel program about predators and prey. Sproles zoomed past him on a wheel route, hauling in a lovely, feathery pass from Foles for a 31-yard gain, setting up another Eagles touchdown.
He did it all afternoon throughout that thrilling 32-30 Eagles victory, racking up 119 total yards, scooting for 16 on a draw play in the final 90 seconds to give Jake Elliott a shorter look at a game-winning field goal, compelling a question on a matter that Sproles himself had once considered settled. In July, after missing most of the 2017 season with a torn ACL, Sproles had published a letter suggesting that he would retire after this season. But now that he has come back from a hamstring injury that sidelined him from early September to early December, now that he has scored three touchdowns in four games and shown he can be the same player he has always been, he's not really going to retire, is he?
Who would criticize him for changing his mind and choosing to come back, and who would criticize him for walking away? No one would. No one. Sproles' teammates and peers hold him in such esteem that it's difficult to convey their admiration without it sounding as if a 5-foot-6, 190-pound water bug has turned the biggest, toughest men in sports into a room full of Pollyannas, but there's no way around it. They speak of Sproles with a kind of reverence reserved for only the most idealized role model. To a man, they use the same word to describe him – professional – but even that term doesn't quite capture the regard they have for him.
Have you ever encountered someone you wanted to emulate, but you knew you couldn't because it would be too damn hard, because it would demand too much of yourself, because the person was setting a standard that you yourself recognized you could never reach? That's Darren Sproles, to the team that last won the Super Bowl.
"Walk-throughs – not practice, not games, just regular walk-throughs, he's still doing punt returns and kickoff returns and running full speed," safety Malcolm Jenkins said. "Everybody else is jogging, just kind of slapping it out there. He's still taking every step full speed, runs all the way to the end zone, things that nobody else would do. And then we wonder why we see the same thing out on the field.
Darren Sproles dodges a tackle by Texans safety Justin Reid.
Over those 11 weeks that he sat out – the injury was more than the average hamstring strain, but he won't reveal the true diagnosis or full severity – Sproles feared that he might not play again, that he might not fulfill his purpose in returning this season: ending his career on his own terms. That worry trickled down to his teammates as they saw him in the trainers' room each day and in every team meeting. "We're always aware of how important he is to the team and what he brings," Brooks said. "It was definitely tough to see him hurt." Yet the Eagles banked that he would come back, never placing him on injured reserve, holding out hope that he could and would deliver them the sort of performance he did Sunday.
"To have the role I had tonight, man, it felt great," he said.
So it's on to FedEx Field and the Redskins next Sunday. One more game with the playoffs at stake, maybe the last game in a marvelous NFL career, and the Eagles could do worse than relying on Darren Sproles one more time. They could do worse than getting him the bleeping ball and letting him be himself.

ARTHUR MERRIC BLOOMFIELD BOYD (1920 - 1999)
Arthur Merric Bloomfield Boyd AC OBE was a leading Australian painter of the late 20th century. Boyd's work ranges from impressionist renderings of Australian landscape to starkly expressionist figuration, and many canvases feature both. Several famous works set Biblical stories against the Australian landscape, such as The Expulsion (1947–48), now at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. Having a strong social conscience, Boyd's work deals with humanitarian issues and universal themes of love, loss and shame. Boyd was a member of the Antipodeans, a group of Melbourne painters that also included Clifton Pugh, David Boyd, John Brack, Robert Dickerson, John Perceval and Charles Blackman.The Boyd family artistic dynasty includes painters, sculptors, architects and other arts professionals, commencing with Boyd's grandmother Emma Minnie Boyd and her husband Arthur Merric Boyd, Boyd's father Merric and mother Doris; 'She was the backbone of the family' recalls Boyd "without her, the entire family would have fallen apart", uncles Penleigh Boyd and Martin Boyd, and siblingss Guy, David and Lucy. His other sister Mary Boyd, also a painter, married first John Perceval, and then later Sidney Nolan, both artists. Boyd's wife, Yvonne Boyd (née Lennie) is also a painter; as are their children Jamie, Polly, and Lucy.

Open to secondary and post-secondary educators, this free workshop will provide an introduction to current relations between North and South Korea, both political and social. The presenters will place the Korean documentary film Repatriation in contemporary and historical context. There will be opportunity for discussion.
This workshop is held in conjunction with the Center for East Asian and Pacific Studies (EAPS) Korean Documentary Film Festival. Please see enclosed flyer or the AMES website for more information.
Background: For over two generations the Korean peninsula has been divided into two states: the Republic of Korea (South Korea) and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea.) Although this was originally intended as an expedient and temporary political division at the end of War World II to maintain geopolitical stability between the United States and Soviet Union, the emergence of Cold War politics sealed the fate of the Koreas. Fifty-seven years after the start of the Korean War, a peace treaty still has not been signed. Since 1998, however, South Korea has maintained a tolerant "Sunshine Policy" toward North Korea, softening tensions.
Jacques Fuqua will discuss how reunification of two halves of a divided nation will be achieved when each has developed under radically opposing policies. He will also provide a post-WWII historical context for South and North Korea. The film Repatriation focuses on the displacement and ultimate repatriation of North Korean prisoners held in South Korea during the Cold War. Through their individual stories are revealed several important themes that underscore the broader challenges of reunification of the Korean peninsula. First, although a homogeneous people, the artificial political division imposed on the peninsula in the aftermath of WWII has created two very different nations— politically, culturally and socially. Second, what is considered an acceptable form of governance differs between the North and South Korean governments and citizens—is it to be a socialist or democratic model? Another consideration is the mechanics of reunification: will it be achieved through assimilation, confederation or some other form? Finally, reunification remains a distant goal that will be achieved through an evolutionary process, not a revolutionary one.
Jacques Fuqua, a retired US Army officer (February 2000), presently serves as Director of International Engagement and Protocol for the University of Illinois where he is responsible for creating a coherent public face for the vast array of international activities and resources on the Urbana-Champaign campus and for creating new program synergies between and among campus programs. He was an active duty US Army officer for over 20 years, serving as a Foreign Area Officer (Northeast Asia) for most of that time. He was involved in various international security discussions and negotiations impacting Japan and Korea. He has taught Japanese history courses at the University of Maryland's Asia Division ( in both Seoul, Korea, and Tokyo, Japan), and East Asian security issues at Indiana University, and the University of Illinois. He has published various newspaper and journal articles on the US-Japan security relationship, Okinawa, and North Korea's weapons of mass destruction program, and is currently working on a book entitled Nuclear Endgame-The Need for Engagement with North Korea.
Nan Kim-Paik will discuss the socio-historical background and cultural setting of Repatriation. She will address the meanings attached to family and kinship in Korea and discuss how national division resulted in various kinds of social stigma related to the political implications of family separation following the Korean War. Other discussion topics will include the social implications of recent inter- Korean reconciliation particularly in South Korea and the complex dilemmas pertaining to human rights and humanitarianism that have resulted from Korea's division. She will discuss examples of teaching materials and offer suggestions for further resources that would support lessons about divided Korea in modern world history as well as in its contemporary contexts.
Nan Kim-Paik is an adjunct assistant professor in the History Department at the University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee where she teaches courses in East Asian history. She is a doctoral candidate in Anthropology at the University of California-Berkeley and is completing her dissertation, "Liminal Subjects, Liminal Nation: Reuniting Separated Families and Mediating National Reconciliation in Divided Korea." She also co-translated and edited the English subtitles for the 1997 documentary, Habitual Sadness: Korean Comfort Women Today (Bo-Im Productions, Seoul). She received her AB degree, magna cum laude, in English literature from Princeton University and her MA degree in Anthropology from UC-Berkeley.

Oh, Run-DMC and Aerosmith, I hate to do this to ya, but I'm just not feelin' it today. Not this song, of course. This song's awesome. But since I already wrote about this one, I'm giving myself a pass. I'm going out of town on a trip in a few days, and my anxiety's been ramping up. I know this because I've been eating Culver's and/or frozen pizza nonstop for the last week or so, missing work, and being grumpier than usual. I'm a real catch. So yeah, since my brain won't stop thinking about all the horrible ways I could potentially die, I don't have room in there to pontificate on why I love this song so much. Hopefully I'll have more to say about the other songs coming up this week, but if I don't, now you know why.

O termo "debellatio" ou "debelação" (latim "derrotar, ou o ato de conquistar ou subjugar", literalmente, "guerrear (o inimigo) para baixo", do latim bellum "guerra") designa o fim da guerra causado pela destruição completa de um estado hostil. O professor de direito israelense Eyal Benvenisti o define como "uma situação em que uma parte de um conflito foi totalmente derrotada na guerra, suas instituições nacionais se desintegraram e nenhum de seus aliados continua a desafiar o inimigo militarmente em seu nome".

Exemplos

Cartago
Em alguns casos, a debelação termina com a completa dissolução e anexação do estado derrotado ao território nacional do vencedor, como aconteceu no final da Terceira Guerra Púnica com a derrota de Cartago por Roma no século II aC.

Alemanha nazista
A rendição incondicional do Terceiro Reich, em sentido estrito apenas das Forças Armadas Alemãs, no final da Segunda Guerra Mundial foi na época aceita pela maioria das autoridades como um caso de debellatio como:

 Houve uma dissolução completa do Reich alemão, incluindo todos os escritórios.
 O Conselho de Controle Aliado detinha a soberania sobre o território da Alemanha.
 Grande parte do território do Reich alemão foi anexado (ver antigos territórios orientais da Alemanha)
 Nenhum estado alemão unitário permaneceu, o Reich alemão sendo sucedido pela República Federal da Alemanha e pela República Democrática Alemã.

Outras autoridades, apoiadas nos acórdãos do Tribunal Constitucional Federal alemão, argumentaram que um Estado alemão permaneceu em existência de 1945 a 1949, embora adormecido e sem qualquer componente institucional ou organizacional, com base em que:

 A maior parte do território que compunha a Alemanha antes do Anschluss não foi anexada.
 A população alemã ainda existia e foi reconhecida como tendo nacionalidade alemã.
 Instituições alemãs como tribunais nunca deixaram de existir, embora o Conselho de Controle Aliado governasse o território.
 Eventualmente, um governo alemão recuperou plena soberania sobre todo o território alemão que não havia sido anexado (ver reunificação alemã).
 A República Federal da Alemanha se vê como a continuação legal do Reich alemão.

A posição oficial do governo ocupado aliado, bem como de todos os governos alemães subsequentes desde então, foi e continua sendo que o regime nazista era "ilegal"; com leis e veredictos impostos durante o Terceiro Reich sendo regularmente declarados inválidos. Os aliados não consideravam o povo alemão e os nazistas indistinguíveis, muito pelo contrário. Após a rendição, o partido nazista foi e permanece até hoje fora da lei; várias restrições foram impostas a ex-membros do partido nazista, incluindo proibições de concorrer ou ocupar cargos públicos, embora essas leis tenham sido posteriormente reduzidas. Após o fim da ocupação aliada, a Alemanha Ocidental assumiu um certo grau de responsabilidade pelas atrocidades cometidas pela Alemanha nazista e concordou em fazer grandes pagamentos de reparação às suas vítimas.
