Just released to the market, the Rocking R Ranch, one of Colorado's most scenic and consummate elk & mule deer producing working cattle ranches. The Rocking R is located in Southwest Colorado in San Miguel County at the base of Lone Cone Mountain. The +/- 1240 deeded acres borders over 16 square miles of National Forest that can be very difficult to access except through private property. The ranch is approximately 45 minutes to Telluride and 60 minutes to Montrose for easy air access, great dining, shopping and world class winter sports.
In addition to producing over 20-30 big game animals for harvest, the ranch also carries +/- 50 pair of cattle seasonally as well, maintaining an agricultural status for a low annual tax bill. Located in a basin that shadows Lone Cone Mountain, the spectacular Rocking R Ranch is the mule deer and elk sanctuary, with an incredible resident population that continues to be supplemented by migratory animals and outside hunting pressure pushing more animals in. Rocking R has been managed for mule deer and elk for over 20 years and consistently has produced over 70% success for hunters annually.
The vegetation within the boundaries of the private property begins with gambrel oak and ponderosa pines in the lower sections along with some cottonwood bottoms and climbs to dense aspen groves and scattered pines near the top sections. The numerous aspen draws within the property boundaries offer Colorado elk and deer excellent cover for breeding during the fall and are known to be ringing with bugles during the rut. There is an impressive amount of water on the property with numerous ponds, streams, and springs creating an environment that allow the wildlife to flourish. The elk create many different wallows during the summer because of the plentiful water and cover that the terrain has to offer.
The base elevation is +/- 8000 feet and rises up to 9500 at its highest point. Numerous big game blinds are in place to cover feeding areas and the numerous spring-fed ponds on the property. Black bear, turkey and grouse are abundant as well.
An excellent ATV and side-by-side trail system exists for summer recreation, to access quality hunting pockets, or for transporting your big bull elk or that trophy mule deer to the cleaning rack. The San Miguel Basin is also noted for producing quality elk and numerous Boone and Crockett mule deer. The ranch is in an over-the-counter elk unit and receives 2-3 landowner buck tags annually.
The ranch is family owned, running +/-50 pair of cattle and hosting commercially over 30 hunters annually. The estimated annual income for hunting cattle has been $80,000-$100,000. The Rocking R Ranch is booked for the 2018 hunting season. The client list would convey to buyer or can be changed over to personal family hunting. All hunting rights convey for the 2019 season. Included are the drive-in cleaning rack and walk-in cold room to cool store/dry age your venison and elk.
The home/lodge is designed for ranch entertainment and guests. There are 4 bedrooms and 5 baths with an open great room and a large covered porch. The separate cabin next door is 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Weddings, outdoor events, reunions and church retreats are just a few of the events that have called Rocking R Ranch host. Interior furnishings and fixtures will convey including the huge wall-screen TV for enjoying your favorite sporting event after a fantastic hunt or a big family BBQ. The ranch is turn-key and ready to convey to new owner for a lifetime of legacy ranch experiences. The lodge and headquarters are located within easy access but have no impact on quality hunting areas.

Yuan de Jin (Luoyang, 276 – 3 de janeiro de 323), foi um imperador da dinastia Jin (265-420) e o primeiro da dinastia Jin oriental. Seu reino perdeu o território de Jin no norte, mas controlou o sul, desde o rio Huai e os Três Desfiladeiros, por gerações Jin não foi ameaçado seriamente pelos reinos de Wu Hu ao norte.

Carreira adiantada
Sima Rui nascido em 276 na capital da dinastia Jin, Luoyang, filho de Sima Jin (司馬覲), príncipe de Langye e marido da princesa Xiahou Wenji (夏侯文姬). (O livro de Wei relatou que não era filho biológico do príncipe de Jin mas o produto de um caso que a princesa Xiahou teve com o general Niu Jin (牛金), porém, como não havia evidência real, a reivindicação foi considerada suspeita.) Seu pai morreu em 290, e transformou-se no príncipe de Langye. O livro de Jin referiu ele como firme e sábio.

Em 304, no meio da guerra dos oito príncipes, Sima Rui participou em Sima Yue, da campanha de Donghai de encontro a Sima Ying, o príncipe de Chengdu como um general menor. Depois que Sima Ying derrotou Sima Yue, Sima Yue executou o tio Sima Yao de Sima Rui (司馬繇) o príncipe de Dong'an, que causou a Sima Rui muito medo. Decidiu fugir de volta a seu principado em Langye (Weifang moderno, ou Shandong), sob o conselho de Wang Dao, de Sima Yue. Tentou primeiramente dirigir de volta a Luoyang, mas quando estava a ponto de cruzar o rio amarelo, foi parado pelos protetores instruídos para deter todos os nobres ou oficiais de nível elevado do cruzamento (como Sima Ying tinha requisitado tais, temendo que os nobres o abandonassem ou o traçassem de encontro a ele). Os protetores permitiram então que cruzassem-se. Depois que Sima Rui voltou a Luoyang, tomou para si a princesa Dowager Xiahou e dirigiu-se à Langye, onde passaram os próximos anos longe da guerra dos oito príncipes.

Em 307, Sima Yue, vitorioso emerso na guerra dos oito príncipes, regente para do imperador Huai, sob o conselho de sua esposa, princesa Pei, Sima Rui se tornou o comandante militar do sul da província de Yang (揚州, Zhejiang, Jiangsu e Anhui do sul modernos). Como Sima Rui não era fomoso, depois que chegou em Jianye, poucos poderosos locais viriam à visita e a suportá-lo-ia. Sob o conselho de Wang Dao, Sima Rui visitou He Xun (賀循) e Gu Rong (顧榮) e convidou-os para desempenhar serviços em sua administração.

Após a queda de Luoyang
Em 311, Luoyang caiu às forças de Han Zhao, e o imperador Huai foi capturado. Um grande número de refugiados, fugindo de Han Zhao, cruzaram o rio Yangtze e chegaram aos domínio de Sima Rui. Sob a sugestão de Wang Dao, Sima Rui procurou os homens talentosos entre eles e adicionou-os a sua administração, por exemplo, o notável alquimista Ge Hong, que estava entre os refugiados, tornou-se seu caixeiro. Então começou a exercitar um poder mais imperial, e começou a por todo o sul restante das províncias do rio Huai sob seu próprio controle - e, nos próximos anos, sob o comando do Wang Dun e de outros generais tais como Tao Kan e Zhou Fang (周訪), os rebeldes agrários que resistem principalmente nas províncias de Xiang (湘州, Hunan moderno) foram subjugados gradualmente. Entretanto, não fêz nenhum esforço para tentar emitir exércitos para o norte de encontro a Han Zhao. Porém, como seus assistentes eram a maior parte refugiados do norte, a população nativa começou a ficar descontentae, e nos próximos anos haveria fricções constantes que diminuíram a eficácia da administração de Sima Rui. Em 315, os membros do clã poderoso de Zhou, pretenderam começar uma insurreição contra ele, mas a conspiração foi exposta por outros membros do clã ainda leal a Jin. Em 315, Wang Dun podia finalmente suprimir os rebeldes agrários restantes no oeste, e começava a mostrar ambições e atuar independentemente de Sima Rui.

Em 313, depois que o imperador Huai foi executado por Han Zhao, Sima Ye, um sobrinho do imperador Huai, era imperador declarado em Chang'an. Sima Rui foi então nomeado o primeiro ministro, um título que aceitou; entretanto, não tomou nenhuma ação real no dae (dispositivo automático de entrada) do imperador. Quando o general Zu ti (祖逖) pediu para conduzir ao norte o exército, ele deu fontes à Zu somente mil homens sem tropas reais; Zu teve que procurar seus próprios soldados, mas conseguiu alguns soldados do sul e das cidades do rio amarelo.

Em 316, Chang'an caiu às forças de Han Zhao, e o imperador foi capturado. Sima Rui declarou rapidamente que estava indo atuar de encontro a Han Zhao, mas por outro lado reivindicou rapidamente falta de homens e adiou a campanha. Em 317, seus oficiais pediram que tomasse o trono, Sima Rui tomou o título de "príncipe de Jin" - um título usado previamente por Sima Zhao quando regente de Cao Wei.

Reino adiantado
Em 318, o imperador Liu Cong de Han Zhao executou o imperador, e três meses mais tarde, a notícia chegou em Jiankang. Sima Rui declarou-se então imperador (como o imperador Yuan). Naquela época, as áreas diretamente sob seu controle estavam aproximadamente ao sul do rio amarelo e a leste dos Três Desfiladeiros, embora englobasse também território de Jin no norte - reconhecido como o imperador pela maior parte das pessoas.

Mais tarde também em 318, quando o imperador Liu de Han Zhao pode por um fim ao odicial Zhun, Zhun Jin indicou inicialmente que se estava submetendo à autoridade do imperador Yuan, e Yuan tentado tomar vantagem, emitiu um exército para ajudar a Jin Zhun. Entretanto, muito antes que o exército chegar lá, Jin Zhun foi derrotado pelo imperador novo Liu Yao e o general Shi Le de Han Zhao.

Em 319, as forças de Duan Pidi desmoronaram, e um outro regulador ainda leal a Jin - Shao Xu (邵續), o regulador da província de Ji (冀州, o Hebei central moderno). Entretanto, Shao e Duan foram capturados por Shi em 321, terminando todo o legado da dinastia Jin na China do norte - embora Murong Hui, o duque de Liaodong, estivesse ainda no controle de Liaoning moderno e se considerasse um vassalo de Jin.

Confronto com Wang Dun
Em torno de 320, o relacionamento do imperador Yuan com Wang Dun estava no limite dA ruptura, porque Wang Dun estava cada vez mais arrogante devido ao controlo das províncias ocidentais. O imperador Yuan temeu-o, e começou conseqüentemente a agrupar os homens para combater Wang Dun, como Liu Huai (劉隗) e Diao Xie (刁協). Em 321, os membros da comissão do imperador Yuan, Dai Yuan (戴淵) e Liu, estavam sendo preparados para iniciar um ataque potencial contra Wang Dun.

Em 322, Wan Wang começou sua campanha de encontro ao imperador Yuan, reivindicando que o imperador Yuan estava sendo enganado por Liu e por Diao, e que seu somente ele limparia o governo. Tentou persuadir Gan Zhuo (甘卓), o regulador da província de Liang (梁州) e Sima Cheng (司馬承) o regulador da província de Xiang para juntar-se a ele, mais ambos resistiram. Wang chegou rapidamente em Jiankang, derrotando forças do imperador Yuan e entrando em Jiankang facilmente. Liu fugiu e depois Zhao, quando Diao, Dai, e Zhou Yi (周顗) foram mortos. O imperador Yuan foi forçado à se submeter e conceder a Wang Dun poderes adicionais no oeste. Wang Dun, satisfeito, permitiu que o imperador Yuan permanecesse no trono, e retirou-se de volta a sua base em Wuchang (武昌, em Ezhou moderno, em Hubei).

Após sua derrota, o imperador Yuan cresceu desalentado e em torno do ano novo de 323, morreu. O príncipe herdeiro Shao sucedeu ao trono como o imperador Ming.

Our clients had very successful business careers- with homes around the world. This home was designed to be a quiet country home, with the excitement of Manhattan only 50 miles away. The home was designed to fit a tight site mostly off limits to building due to protected wetlands. The eventual design skirted the wetlands while providing an elegant façade to the street, peaceful views through the protected woodlands, and still allowed for a sizeable swimming pool! Inspired by English Arts & Craft architecture, particularly the work of one of my favorite architects -Sir Edwin Lutyens- The crisp white stained shingled exterior is capped by a roof that sweeps down to shelter two porches and even a screen walls to lessen the impact of the garage.

Writer; Executive / Product Design / Italy / Alessi S.p.A.
My position is that a designer is—or should be—first a poet. For that reason the books I have listed refer to a wide spectrum of human activity. They can be especially helpful and interesting to read for almost all activities having to do with creating products (industrial products) in our society of consumption.
My main maestro. A personal memories book. "Goodbye Architecture" shows Mendini's primary interest in anthropology, but related to design and architecture.
Aldo was one of my maestros when I was much younger. A good thinker. He brought a strong poetic approach to the discipline of architecture, opening that angle of view to product designers. His Nietzschean thinking made his life too short. I particularly like the picture with his daughter Vera on the bridge at Lake Mergozzo in northern Italy.
Nietzsche's remarks on the difference between humans and animals are useful for understanding why designers continue to design objects that people actually do not need.
A text that influenced a generation of architects and designers, opening the door to a deeper consciousness of our profession.
This book expanded my view of contemporary architecture and prompted my experiments with translating some of the issues raised into industrial design.
A basic text for understanding the present stage of consumer society. Aids designers in becoming more conscious of their role and responsibility.
A poetic overview of our world—which a designer should always have!
"My Favorite Flops, Followed by a Magazine of Ideas." Praise for fiasco as an essential element in the learning process coincides with one of my fundamental beliefs.
Contains "La notion de dépense" ("The Notion of Expenditure")—sharp and disenchanted, difficult but amazing to read. May be very useful for designers in positioning their activity in a proper way.
Winnicott's theory of transitional phenomena and transitional objects enlightened my understanding of design as play and as a new form of contemporary art.
Contains "The Thing." "The thingness of things"—jug-ness of a jug, or pot-ness of a pot. The reason for an object or a design to be. Some very useful thoughts by the German philosopher for every designer in search of new archetypes.
Not only one of the best designers, but also one of the best storytellers. This recent autobiography (which translates as "Written at Night") reminds us that a designer is also a man with a poetic sensibility.
Tells of the six fundamental qualities in human activity: good not only for novelists, but for life in general and very much for design in particular today (see "Lightness" and "Consistency").
One of the best Tintin books. I reread the cartoons frequently. Inspirational for the extraordinary attention to details: a must for every good designer!

Recut: From Nigeria To The Hilltop: How Charles Bassey Landed At Western Kentucky
By Jonese Franklin
Charles Bassey plays during a 2018 basketball tournament.
At 6-foot-11 and 220 pounds, 17-year-old Charles Bassey is a wonder. According to ESPN, Bassey averaged 19.4 points and 12.8 rebounds last season at Louisville's Aspire Academy and he got 13 points and 16 rebounds in the Nike Hoop Summit this past April. He's already forecast as a top NBA draft pick in 2019.
And Bassey's backstory is interesting, to put it mildly. Three years ago, when he was just 14 years old, he left his home and his family in Nigeria to pursue a high school basketball career in the United States. Under the guidance of Hennssy Auriantal — a man who became his legal guardian — in just a few years, Bassey became a top-five prospect.
He was on track to graduate from DeSales High School in 2019. Then, on June 13, news broke that Bassey would "reclassify" and commit to Western Kentucky University. Three weeks later, WKU named Auriantal as its new assistant basketball coach.
Since then, many questions have emerged about Bassey's graduation, among other things. Eleanor Klibanoff with the Kentucky Center for Investigative Reporting has been following Bassey's story. She joins us today on Recut.

Meeting with the Chargé d'Affaires of Venezuela in Namibia, Mr Abraham Quintero, was an adventure of the senses. I came to see his art collection and find out more about his passion for art and I found that art is but one of many passions.
From smelling the lavender and basil in his herb garden, to sipping Assam Tea from India, served in a beautiful antique teapot, bought in Long Street, Cape Town to exchanging thoughts on religion, politics, good food and music, the meeting became a tour of the pleasures of the soul.
Quintero, who has a degree in Mass Media as well as one in International Relations, has been in the diplomatic services of his country since 1979. He has been stationed in Guyana, Haiti and Canada and will soon be leaving Namibia to continue his career in Austria.
As a young child he used to love painting. He remembers one event fondly and tells it with a naughty smile: "Once, when I was about five, I took one look at my aunts ironing board and decided it would be the perfect canvas for a drawing of a Zeppelin, which filled the whole space. It was a beautiful drawing, with all details added, people hanging in the ropes of the Zeppelin, waving out of the windows… unfortunately my aunt was not pleased at all." Quintero never fully explored his artistic talent and decided to rather surround himself with selected art from other artists. He found another delicious outlet for his creative energy and taste buds. namely cooking, where food is the medium and the kitchen his 'studio'.
During his studies he started reading many books on art. Quintero also had the opportunity to see world-class art at the New Contemporary Art Museum of Caracas, the Museum of Interactive Art, which is dedicated exclusively to Edward Soto, a well-known leader in Kinetic art or at the Central University, a Unesco Monument, where the architect integrated many artworks by local and international renowned artists, like Leger, Arp and Vasarely.
This is apparent in his eclectic choice of works. Most works in his collection are by young Namibian artists, who are not yet established, but show promising talent. Many of the works make a strong statement, like Herman Mbamba's "Namibian Verdict". It is a highly political and social comment showing a hangman's rope with a figure in the background and a hand bound with a red ribbon, which has become a very personal symbol in Mbamba's art. The words Namibia's Verdict are collaged over the rope. Mbamba's use of writing in his art makes the work's message clearer and more uncompromising, but still leaves enough space for the viewer's own interpretation. Unlike many other Namibian artists, he works with a simple and striking composition, with bold colours, which are sparingly and subtly applied.
Other examples are the work by Samuel Mbingilo "Different Culture, one family, one love", with a beautiful message of unity and hope, or Hercules Viljoen's "Monument to Evolution", an exquisite drawing of a bonelike structure which seems to be transforming itself into a leg. The lines move from the lower constrained bone structure upwards, growing into stronger lines filled with energy and life. The upper part is left incomplete, yet indicating it's growth and shape, reminding us that evolution is a process and not complete.
He also has several works of Namibian landscapes, but these are not the everyday romantic landscapes. One can always expect a twist, like the colourful and mystical semi-abstract representation of the Spitzkoppe by Pierre van der Westhuizen or Pedro Vorster's "Giraffe Bird", which is a unique painting, combining elements of ancient rock art and surrealism.
"Namibians should support their own artists. Businesses, politicians and professional individuals should set the example by investing in the national patrimony, of which culture forms an important part. And one should embrace the modern culture as well as the traditional one. Today's artists play an important role in the creation of Namibia's unique identity." To explain that supporting the visual artists is not that expensive, Quintero says that for the price of a suit, a pair of good shoes or a braai and drinks with friends one can easily afford an original piece of art by a Namibian artist.
Hercules Viljoen, Max Edison, Samuel Mbingilo, Imke Rust, Pedro Vorster, Ndasuunje Shikongeni, Nicky Marais, Ziggy Martin, Barbara Pirron, Trudi Dicks, Archie van der Ploeg, John Nampala, Pierre v.d.

Surrounded by rolling hills and Chianti vineyards, Siena shines as a jewel of the Tuscan Renaissance, and has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Experience the famous Palio di Siena horse race, catch the pulse of the city at Piazza del Campo, visit the beautiful Duomo cathedral…and fall in love with this charming city!
Founded by Etruscans around 900 BC, the city was first conquered by Romans and later by Lombards. The Middle Ages saw it becoming the independent and flourishing Republic of Siena, until its annexation to the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.
The economic difficulties that followed turned out to be a blessing for the preservation of its historic center. Adorned with frescoes by Ghirlandaio and bass-reliefs by Donatello, Lorenzo Ghiberti, and Jacopo della Quercia, the Duomo represents the highest expression of this well-kept legacy. The shell-shaped Piazza del Campo, with the Palazzo Pubblico and the Gaia Fountain, is still the heart and soul of the city. Follow the labyrinth of narrow streets and passages that irradiate from there and you will be enchanted by its romantic atmosphere from ancient times.
The closest airports are Peretola Airport in Florence and Galileo Galilei International Airport in Pisa, though Guglielmo Marconi Airport in Bologna is also well connected. While planning your trip, don't forget to check out the Siena accommodations deals on Booking.com!
Siena is priceless. Its main piazza Del Campo is second only to the Vatican. Its name reflects the visual color: Siena. Ist Cathedral is superb and houses one of the Eucharistic Miracles. The city's architectural plan is considered the first modern (13th C.) town plan focusing on its majestic civic buildings while disguising the entrances to its tributarial streets into its 12 distinct and highly competitive districts which celebrate its annual palios. Behind Roma, Firenze, and Venice, Siena is unquestionably the most important city to visit in Italy.
What a wonderful city... Athena Hotel... great location, front the desk, housekeeping & dining room staff- dellghtful. Suggest a walking tour with a Local guide.... there is so much to learn about the neighborhoods of Siena. A magically city not to be missed.
Siena was a fantastic surprise!
Siena was a fantastic surprise! We had no idea how much we would enjoy it before going. It's full of character and charm. The cathedral was outstanding, as well as the cathedral museum. Hike the tower in the cathedral museum and the Mangia Tower for great city views. The Fontebranda fountain was unique. Our favorite meal was at Antica Trattoria Stallorreggi at 37 Via Stallorreggi (I know because I took their business card!). We enjoyed their grilled vegetables and Pecorino gnocchi. If you aren't physically fit Siena could be difficult to enjoy. There are many hills just walking through the city. It was excellent exercise! Which was great in the winter when we visited but I could see it being very hot and sweaty in the summer!
Gorgeous city with many pedestrian streets.
Gorgeous city with many pedestrian streets. Lots of shopping and restaurants. Centre very easy to access, bus stop very handy. We rented a car from the only business right in the centre (most are located further out of town) called Perrozi. Highly recommend them!
Siena was an absolute delight, full of friendly people but too full of tourists And it's narrow streets, even the first week of October. Plan to stay at least three nights to do it justice. A rare culinary experience was the very centric Gli Archi Restaurant, whose service, house white wine, fresh pasta and suckling pig were out of this world, We stayed at a greatB aduuüo outside of the Turist center, that I had the same name, so we wondered if the owners might be the same as the landlady gave us a card with 10% off to eat in that restaurant downtown with great outdoor seating.
Most everything of interest was collocated with the Duomo, making things easy to find and enjoy. Most restaurants on Piazza del Campo were excellent, barring the much-touted Mangia whose menu was similar to all the others but much more expensive, likely due to online reviews.
We're traveling through Italy and watching our budget and came across this wonderful place. We were fortunate enough to get room 51, a corner room with two windows overlooking Siena. The wifi and flat screen TV worked well and the staff was pleasant. We'd particularly like to give a shout out to the lady running the breakfast buffet which was a very nice continental breakfast. Her coffee got us going in the morning. Thank you. The room was comfortable and roomy with an armoir and dresser. A great value with a great location.
The castle is super cool! Located among olive trees, offering a very unique atmosphere for those looking for some peace and quiet. The staffs are super friendly and helpful. Louis, who was the guy received us on the first day we arrived. He is so nice and has introduced everything we should know about the castle and also the info of Siena. Valeria, a lovely lady who prepared the best breakfast we have ever had in Italy. And the owner - Nicola, is also a very kind, warm host who gave us a warmly greetings and cares.
Excellent location for visiting Siena, walking distance to all the main sites. Also 5 min walk to the bus station for visiting other cities and towns close by e.g Florence, San Gimignano Room and hotel clean and comfortable. Lovely breakfast room with an ample buffet provided with lots of choice. We had a room with a small balcony and wonderful view of the Duomo! Would definitely stay there again.
Beautiful hotel in a grand building. Lovely private garden and patio, perfect for relaxing and/or romantic bottle of win. Garden view rooms also have amazing views of the countryside beyond Siena. Included breakfast is very nice, and onsite gated parking is a huge plus if you have a car. No question about where I'll stay next time I'm in Siena.
Staff & location were superb! From front desk, to roof top bar to restaurant to house keeping, staff were fantastic! More than happy to help with any queries. Breakfast selection was very good as was meal one night in restaurant. Look forward to hopefully returning one day to beautiful Siena and staying at Hotel Athena.
Our room was clean and spacious and the hotel is great if you have a car as parking is free and the centre of town is a fifteen minute walk away. The roof terrace is a gem with 360 views of Siena and the hotel staff are very friendly and attentive. The breakfast is delicious and we ate outside in the hotel gardens.
The staff (Lucco and the woman that serves breakfast) and the owner were fantastic and so welcoming! The hotel is so well located (one block from the gate of Siena) one can't ask for a better location. The hotel is beautiful and welcoming, the garden is amazing with its views. The breakfast was great and varied.
Loved the centrality of the hotel to Siena itself but also tuscan countryside. Staff were amazingly helpful and pleasant. Value for money was brilliant as were the breakfasts and tapas in the evening. The garden location in the middle if the city was welcome too.
Being in the city and in great location was so convenient. Room was large and bathroom/shower nice. The staff ( Frederico?) was amazing. Loved the restau recommendations made by hotel, hence we had some our best food during our 2 weeks stay in Italy.
Outstanding boutique hotel just off the main drag in Siena. We stayed on the top floor suite which has stunning views of the town. Great staff, breakfast spread. They were very helpful with a valet parking service which is very useful if you have a car.
Il Lavandeto is a very friendly and cozy hotel in 5 minutes by car from Siena. The room was clean and nice and we loved bathroom with shower and roman bath in it. Breakfast was amazing with all sienese specialties and family atmosphere.
Build in ancient Palace, located in middle of historical Siena. Nicely renovated with stylish lobby and bar. Extra friendly staff. Very good bed and shower in room. We loved Siena and this hotel.
Really nice place! Very close to the cathedral. The room was cozy. Stefano and Piero were very friendly and helpful. Siena now is my favorite city in Italy. Will come back again.
Amazing small family hotel not far away from Siena. Beautiful location, private parking, incredible view from the room, nice and friendly staff.
Siena is beautiful, old. I wish the hotels would make your stay a little better. The view from our second room was beautiful, overlooking Siena.
Clean and comfortable rooms. Friendly staff. Bus station is in front of hotel, and you need 15 min by bus to center. Free parking. Nice breakfast.
Clean & Comfortable rooms. Very friendly staff.

New York attorney general sues NYPD over 'brutal' handling of George Floyd protesters
New York Attorney General Letitia James is suing the New York City Police Department and its leadership over its "excessive, brutal and unlawful" handling of George Floyd protests, James said in a news release.
James also wants to install an external monitor to oversee the department's policing tactics.
The suit, filed Thursday in Manhattan federal court, comes after a monthslong investigation into the NYPD's actions during protests from May through December over the killing of Floyd while he was in police custody in Minneapolis on May 25.
The investigation found that officers allegedly used "indiscriminate, unjustified, and repeated use of batons, pepper spray, bicycles and a crowd control tactic known as 'kettling' against peaceful protestors," the release said.
"There is no question that the NYPD engaged in a pattern of excessive, brutal, and unlawful force against peaceful protesters," said James.
"Over the past few months, the NYPD has repeatedly and blatantly violated the rights of New Yorkers, inflicting significant physical and psychological harm and leading to great distrust in law enforcement."
The suit names the NYPD, the city, Mayor Bill de Blasio, NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea and NYPD Chief of Department Terence Monahan as failing to address a "longstanding pattern of abuse" by not properly training, supervising and disciplining officers to prevent and address misconduct, the release said.
NYPD Deputy Commissioner John Miller said Thursday that the department "welcomes reform" and but reiterated that "adding another layer of oversight does not speed up the process of reform."
"Our reform does not start at the George Floyd protests," he told reporters. "We've been in a state of reform that goes back many years. The suit as filed doesn't seem to meet the standard for a federal monitor and it doesn't seem to illustrate a pattern and practice which is required under the law."
In a statement to CNN, de Blasio said he met with James on Wednesday and the two share a common goal "to drive major police reforms."
"I couldn't agree more that there are pressing reforms that must — and will — be made this year," de Blasio said, adding that those include major discipline reforms and recommendations from a city Department of Investigation report.
"That work is critical and is happening right now. A court process and the added bureaucracy of a federal monitor will not speed up this work. There is no time to waste and we will continue to press forward."
Patrick Lynch, president of New York City's Police Benevolent Association, said in a statement that what the city witnessed in June was "a failure of New York City's leadership."
"They (city leadership) sent cops out to police unprecedented protests and violent riots with no plan, no strategy and no support," Lynch said. "They should be forced to answer for the resulting chaos, instead of pointing fingers at cops on the streets and ignoring the criminals who attacked us with bricks and firebombs."
The union submitted testimony as part of James' investigation, including testimonials from injured officers.
The complaint filed Thursday includes dozens of examples of what the attorney general called blatant use of excessive force and other misconduct by officers. James said that since May her office had received more than 1,300 complaints, conducted a three-day public hearing and collected more than 300 written statements.
A hospital employee on the front lines of the fight against Covid-19 at a news conference announcing the suit Thursday described how he was allegedly attacked by NYPD officers on his way home from a shift.
Rayne Valentine, who works at Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn, said he was walking to a subway station after his shift and saw at least six NYPD officers pursuing and then using physical force against another man during a protest. Valentine said he began to record what was happening on his cell phone.
The hospital worker said an officer told him to get back and that he complied, but the officer still charged at him. The lawsuit alleges multiple NYPD officers hit and kicked Valentine for about 90 seconds, leaving him bloodied. Valentine said he had to return to the hospital where he works to receive seven staples to close the wound on his head.
James said officers struck protesters with blunt instruments at least 50 times, unlawfully deployed pepper spray on at least 30 occasions and pushed or struck protesters at least 75 times.
The attorney general described the case of a Brooklyn protester named Luke Hanna, who was struck in the back of the head with a baton in June. James said Hanna, who required ten staples to close a gash on his head, was not arrested or charged.
Additionally, the complaint said officers arrested or detained hundreds of protesters, legal observers and medics without legal justification. The attorney general said 12 legal observers were detained for violating curfew during a June protest in Bronx even though legal observers and medics were exempted from the curfew order.
The lawsuit accused the NYPD of kettling, or corralling protesters so that they could not disperse — and then making mass arrests.
James's office investigated complaints from incidents between May 28, 2020, and December 11, 2020, and found that officers conducted mass arrests without probable cause and "targeted and retaliated against First Amendment activity" frequently, the news release said.
James' lawsuit joins others filed by groups such as Legal Aid and the ACLU, which in October filed a federal suit against de Blasio, the NYPD and its leadership on behalf of 11 plaintiffs who claim they were subjected to brutality by police while peacefully protesting.
Last month, a report from the city Department of Investigation said the NYPD failed to anticipate the large number of protesters or violence during the demonstrations. That failure, combined with insufficient staffing and lack of training, led to poor judgment and excessive force.

Earl Thomas: Refs need to protect Lamar Jackson more
By Nick Shook
Published: Dec. 10, 2019 at 06:18 p.m.
Updated: Dec. 10, 2019 at 07:10 p.m.
Brady is 'open-minded' about where he could play
Titans DC Dean Pees retires after 16 NFL seasons
One of the biggest concerns regarding Lamar Jackson entering the 2018 draft was his long-term health.
The reason: Jackson's hypermobility, which has been an incredible tool for the Baltimore Ravens in his first season and a half, leaves him prone to more hits than the average, pocket-restrained passer. In fact, he's on the Ravens' injury report this week due to a quadriceps injury, though he's likely to play Thursday night against the New York Jets. Oddly enough, Jackson sustained the injury while in the pocket, but naturally, it was on a touchdown pass to tight end Hayden Hurst.
"I feel great. I feel good. I'm 100 [percent]," Jackson said after Tuesday's practice, via ESPN. "I'm going to be out there Thursday night."
While Jackson torches the league with his arm and legs, defenses are left scrambling to find ways to stop this elite scrambler. According to one of his veteran teammates, Jackson needs to be wary of opposing defenses taking additional shots at his legs throughout the remainder of the 2019 campaign.
"Every time somebody hits him, like man, he don't need to be taking those hits," Ravens safety Earl Thomas said Tuesday. "I think the refs need to pay closer attention to that as well and protect him a little bit more. Because teams are trying to do -- I'm not saying they're trying to hurt Lamar -- but they're definitely going at his legs more than they were doing it at first."
Jackson broke 1,000 yards rushing in Sunday's close win over the Buffalo Bills to move the Ravens to 11-2 and officially lock up a playoff berth for the defending AFC North champions. He's tearing apart the opposition in part because of the offense built for him by coordinator Greg Roman, who has introduced pistol and spread concepts to take advantage of Jackson's legs, as well as his threat to run when the Ravens are actually looking to pass. Jackson has taken his share of hits, but he's also avoided them simply by making defenders miss and outrunning the rest.
That could result in some defensive desperation, such as the actions described by Thomas. How such a statement might affect officiating of Jackson's play is yet to be seen. As of now, there haven't been many examples of hits that stick out in the mind of an average NFL viewer, other than the missed tackle attempts that leave defenders helplessly flailing away from Jackson.
He still does get tackled frequently, though, which Thomas appreciates -- as long as they're clean.
"He's very durable. His toughness -- you can't question it," Thomas said. "He's taking a lot of hits. He's sacrificing his body for the team. I respect that."

Q: Passing command Line argument to Python script within Eclipse(Pydev) I am new to Python & Eclipse, and having some difficulties understanding how to pass command line argument to script running within Eclipse(Pydev).
The following link explains how to pass command line argument to python script.
To pass command line argument to module argecho.py(code from link above),
#argecho.py
import sys

for arg in sys.argv: 1
    print arg

I would need to type into python console
[you@localhost py]$ python argecho.py
argecho.py

or
[you@localhost py]$ python argecho.py abc def
argecho.py
abc
def

How would I pass same arguments to Python script within Eclipse(Pydev) ???
Thanks !

A: Click on the play button down arrow in the tool bar -> run configurations -> (double click) Python Run -> Arguments tab on the right hand side.
From there you can fill out the Program Arguments text box:

A: Select "Properties" -->> "Run/Debug Settings".
Select the related file in right panel and then click on "Edit" button. It will open properties of selected file. There's an "Arguments" tab.

A: If you want your program to ask for arguments interactively, then they cease to be commandline arguments, as such. However you could do it something like this (for debugging only!), which will allow you to interactively enter values that the program will see as command line arguments.
import sys
sys.argv = raw_input('Enter command line arguments: ').split()

#Rest of the program here

Note that Andrew's way of doing things is much better. Also, if you are using python 3.*, it should be input instead of raw_input,

A: Years later, and not Eclipse,
but a variant of other answers to run my.py M=11 N=None ... in sh or IPython:
import sys

# parameters --
M = 10
N = 20
...

# to change these params in sh or ipython, run this.py  M=11  N=None ...
for arg in sys.argv[1:]:
    exec( arg )
...
myfunc( M, N ... )

See One-line-arg-parse-for-flexible-testing-in-python
under gist.github.com/denis-bz .

A: What I do is:
Open the project in debug perspective.
In the console, whenever the debugger breaks at breakpoint, you can type python command in the "console" and hit return (or enter).
There is no ">>" symbol, so it is hard to discover.
But I wonder why eclipse doesn't have a python shell  :(

Eastern Sierra Region Women's Program--Brand New!
Welcome to the first ever Eastern Sierra Region Women's Program page! I hope that this will be a great source of information for the outstanding women in our region and only the first of many updates, so please, keep on checking back.
I'd like to introduce myself and list some of my goals for this year and beyond. I have been a patroller at Heavenly Resort since about 1998. I decided to become a patroller when living in the Central Valley and patrolling at a small resort which was called Sierra Summit, but now called China Peak. Their mountain had some wonderful very supportive patrollers that taught me a great deal; however, my heart was truly stolen when I attended one of the Women's toboggan clinics at Heavenly.
As I took the plunge to go to this BIG resort by myself to the clinic it was scary not knowing anyone and being very new to patrolling. The camaraderie of the women at the clinic made me feel welcome and comfortable. I was so amazed at the techniques that I had learned with regard to toboggan handling, and did I mention the fantastic ski lesson after? It is this reason that I have now been a patroller at Heavenly for going on 17 years.
I am now a CPR instructor and a transportation instructor (toboggan) for Heavenly. I have learned a great deal from my mentor and friend Trudy Nye about Women's toboggan handling over the years. We have taught clinics in many different locations around the Tahoe basin and even at Mt. Hood in Oregon!
I hope to use the knowledge that I have gained over the years to continue to encourage and inspire the women of the Eastern Sierra region to become active in the many programs that the NSP has to offer. Some of the goals that I have are to establish a few motivated main contacts at each of the resorts for an open line of communication with region. By doing this I will be able to understand what your resort is interested in doing. An example would be if you would like to learn more about a particular topic, host a mountaineering clinic, have a women's tele-mark clinic (something we have done) or you name it! We are focused on you!
Please feel free to contact me any time via email Tammie Hoedeman or by phone 530.320.0299. I would love to hear your thoughts, comments, and concerns about how we can build our region of truly strong NSP women!

Amadou Hampâté Bâ (1900-1991) was one of the major intellectual and literary figures of twentieth-century Africa. An illustrious writer, who wrote many poems in his native Pulaar/Fulfulde and authored prize-winning and widely-read literary works, but he was also an ethnologist, philosopher, historian, and storyteller as well as a spokesperson for Sufi understandings of Islam and religious ecumenism. His published works have been translated from French into several European languages, as well as Japanese. He was eventually named to the UNESCO executive council and served as Mali's ambassador to Côte d'Ivoire. In the course of his career, he assembled a very large personal archive a large portion of which was records of oral history which he was not only eager to transmit to future generations but also fought to get them recognized as sources for writing history.
Family Background, Education and Career
Amadou Hampâté Bâ was born to an aristocratic Fulbe family in Bandiagara, the largest city in Dogon territory and the capital of the precolonial Toucouleur Empire. At the time of his birth, the area was known as French Sudan as part of colonial French West Africa, which was formally established a few years before his birth. After his father's death, he was adopted by his mother's second husband, Tidjani Amadou Ali Thiam a Fulani (Toucouleur) of Fuuta Tooro origin. He first attended the Qur'anic school run by Cherno Bokar, a dignitary of the Tijaniyyah brotherhood, then transferred to a French school at Bandiagara, then to one at Djenné. In 1915, he ran away from school and rejoined his mother at Kati, where he resumed his studies.
In 1921, he turned down entry into the école normale in Gorée. As a punishment, the governor appointed him to Ouagadougou with the role he later described as that of "an essentially precarious and revocable temporary writer". From 1922 to 1932, he held several posts in the colonial administration in Upper Volta, now Burkina Faso, and from 1932 to 1942 in Bamako. In 1933, he took six months' leave to visit Tierno Bokar, his spiritual leader.
In 1942, he was appointed to the Institut Français d'Afrique Noire (IFAN — the French Institute of Black Africa) in Dakar, thanks to the benevolence of Théodore Monod, its director. At IFAN, he made ethnological surveys and collected traditions. For 15 years he devoted himself to research, which would later lead to the publication of his work L'Empire Peul de Macina (The Fulani Empire of Masina). In 1951, he obtained a UNESCO grant, enabling him to travel to Paris and meet with intellectuals from Africanist circles, notably Marcel Griaule.
With Mali's independence in 1960, Bâ founded the Institute of Human Sciences in Bamako and represented his country at the UNESCO general conferences. In 1962, he was elected to UNESCO's executive council, and in 1966 he helped establish a unified system for the transcription of African languages.
His term in the executive council ended in 1970, and he devoted the remaining years of his life to research and writing. In 1971, he moved to the Marcory suburb of Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, and worked on classifying the archives of West African oral tradition that he had accumulated throughout his lifetime, as well as writing his memoirs "Amkoullel L'Enfant Peul", and "Oui mon commandant!", both published posthumously. He died in Abidjan in 1991.
Literary Output
Amadou Hampâté Bâ left a prolific work: tales, initiation novels, poetry, many African proverbs are attributed to him, not to mention religious essays and his memoirs. Best-selling novels translated into many foreign languages. History, religion, literature have been his areas of research. He also put Fulani culture in the spotlight. The writer's tour de force is to have succeeded in making, from an oral and collective tradition, a written and personal expression.
His election in 1962 to the Executive Board of Unesco from 1962 to 1970 gave him an international dimension. In the field of thought and spirituality, the work of Hampâté Bâ is deeply marked by Islam and its Sufi dimension: first in the work dedicated to his master Cherno Bokar, the sage of Bandiagara published in 1957. Later, he developed his ecumenical humanism in Jesus as seen by a Muslim. The former researcher of IFAN (French Institute for Black Africa) has achieved success thanks to numerous literary prizes. In 1973, he won the great literary prize of Black Africa for The Strange Destiny of Wangrin and the following year the French language prize, awarded by the French Academy, for his body of work.

These former Wharton classmates have found their entrepreneurial sweet spot.
When Mike Weber WG'20 and Vedant Saboo WG'20 were seated next to each other during their first week at Wharton, they didn't think much of it. "I don't think we spoke to each other at all at first," Saboo recalls with a laugh.
Over time, though, they each would learn that the other dreamed of founding a start-up. And before they graduated, the two would come together to create Frutero, an ice cream company delivering the tropical fruit flavors of Saboo's native India to consumers across the United States.
"It was funny," says Weber. "When we learned that the other person was interested in founding a start-up, we'd just sit around for hours, pitching each other ideas. Most of them were pretty bad, but we were some of the only people that wanted to go into the start-up world, so we stuck together."
Things began to fall into place in 2019, when Weber took a trip to Delhi, India, and Saboo recommended he try a local specialty: tropical fruit–flavored ice cream.
The ice cream Weber indulged in—rich, creamy, and lavishly tasting of mango, passionfruit, and other tropical specialties—was unlike any he'd had before. Upon returning to the US, Weber was surprised to discover that the fruit-flavored ice cream he'd had in India was hard to find. So Weber and Saboo decided to make their own.
Diving headfirst into starting a new company, the Wharton pals began to scour the globe to find unique and tasty fruits. But they soon discovered they had much to learn. "To sell ice cream, you need a manufacturer, you need packaging, you need to make deliveries, you need distributors—and starting from scratch, we had none of that," Weber says. Fortunately, Frutero was one of the winners of the 2020 Penn Venture Lab Startup Challenge, earning the company a small cash prize and mentorship from Wharton professors and experienced entrepreneurs, Weber notes. "That was really important to get started."
Weber and Saboo were also willing to take risks. "When we first started Frutero, we were literally making deliveries out of a car, and just driving to every grocery store and bodega in Philly to pitch our product," Weber says. In some cases, getting small business owners on board was a cinch—like when they had owners of Indian restaurants sample the mango ice cream. In other cases, pitching Frutero was more difficult. But, as Saboo and Weber have learned, patience, respect, and empathy are the real ingredients that go into forming a solid business partnership. "Sometimes, if we were offering samples to the owners of a Mexican bodega, they'd tell us to come around 3 p.m., because that was when their kids would get home from school, and since neither one of us speaks Spanish, they'd be able to translate between us," says Weber. "It definitely wasn't easy—but to be honest, once we gave out our samples, we often had some success."
What was crucial, Weber adds, was the realization that "for a small business owner, it's not about what they can do for you: it's about what you, in offering to have them sell this product, can do for them—because a bodega owner in South Philly doesn't care if you're a Wharton MBA, or you go to Penn. They're trying to make ends meet and serve their communities."
Weber and Saboo have come a long way from pounding the pavement around Philadelphia and making deliveries out of Weber's car. According to its own numbers, Frutero has sold more than one million pints since launch, while expanding into 3,000 stores across the US, including Whole Foods, ShopRite, Acme, and Giant.
Weber and Saboo attribute this expansion to Frutero's broad appeal, particularly across demographics. "We have a very multicultural audience," Saboo says, "because for anyone that grew up in a tropical region—in India and South Asia, yes, but also in South America, or Southeast Asia—you're going to have a connection to this food, and you're going to want to try it.
"But we also have a lot of millennial and Gen Z consumers, who've maybe never had passionfruit or guava before, but who are very open to trying it."
It's here—at the intersection between cultural nostalgia and new discovery, between a familiar mango from childhood or an unfamiliar flavor like guanabana—that Frutero has found its sweet spot.
