A popular export of France, Les Négresses Vertes has become one of the few rock groups to achieve international success singing in a language other than English, selling millions of records worldwide. With their cabaret-like performances and mix of punk, folk, reggae, ska, funk, flamenco, Algerian rai, Latin, and more, a concoction dubbed "urban folk music," Les Négresses Vertes have attracted a broad fan base by their sound alone. "Imagine Edith Piaf jamming with the Pogues and playing some sort of Latin music, not taking themselves seriously and just having lots of fun," commented music producer Laurent Marceau in an interview for the World. "Well, that's Les Négresses Vertes really."
Considering the group members' diverse ethnic backgrounds, Les Négresses Vertes' multicultural approach to music seems quite natural. But while the group's name translates to the phrase "green black women," there is actually only one woman in the band, and although her Gypsy heritage gives her a dark complexion, none of the members are black. Rather, the members trace their roots to varied Algerian, Spanish, Gypsy, and French parentage. According to singer and accordionist Matthias Canavase, the name came from an abuse hurled at the band at one of their first concerts. "Basically it was an insult because we were in a very popular ball playing waltz and tangos in musette style, and we were dancing on it, we were doing black dance and some other things," he recalled to Morning Edition host Bob Edwards. However, Canavase continued, "the contradiction was too much for the lumberjack and butchers of the countryside and they treated our little family as négresses vertes because we were doing black dance in the countryside and folkloric music, but I don't want people from the States or anywhere else to take it as a bad joke. I mean, it's really--it's difficult to translate. Because we are in France, for us it's quite humorous and sarcastic."
Formed in 1987, Les Négresses Vertes arose from the alternative music scene in Paris, meeting one another on street corners in typically working-class, immigrant areas like Bastille and Les Halles and also drawing members from the Camargue area of southern France. At times performing with as many as 11 musicians on stage, the lineup over the years has consisted of vocalist Helno Rota de Lourcqua (also known as Helno or Nöel Rota); guitarist and vocalist Stéfane Mellino; accordionist and vocalist Matthias Canavase (also known as Canavese or Matias); bassist, guitarist, and vocalist Jean-Marie Paulus (also known as Paulus, Casio Paulus, or Paulo); trumpeter Michel Ochowiak (also known as Mich, Big Mitch, and Twist); backing vocalist Iza Mellino, Stéfane Mellino's wife; trombonist and vocalist Abraham Sirinix (also known as Abraham Braham); pianist Jo Roz (also known as l'Ami Ro; real name Joe Ruffier des Mimes); drummer Gaby and singers Juanita and Nono, who all appeared only on the group's debut album; percussionist and vocalist Julot (also known as Julo); drummer Zé Verbalito (also known as Ze Ze); percussionist Ortoli, who appeared on the Famille Nombreuse album; guitarist and bassist Begs, who joins the band for live performances; drummer Guenole Biger; trombonist Gwen Badoux, who played on the Green Bus album; and percussionist Sydney Thiam.
The original nine-member lineup--Helno, Braham, l'Ami Ro, the Mellinos, Paulus, Canavase, Gaby, and Ochowiak--created the band out of a friendship, making them a tight-knit unit. In addition, many were new to their instruments, resulting in unorthodox styles of playing. Underneath Les Négresses Vertes' dramatic punk-folk sound and energy existed the influences of blues, mambo, Latin, and various other forms of music, an incredible mix that immediately struck a chord with French audiences. In 1988, the group released their first single, the uncharacteristic hardcore punk protest song "200 Ans D'Hypocrisie."
With their debut, however, Les Négresses Vertes would introduce the sound that would make them famous. Mlah, released in 1989, introduced flamenco, rai rhythms, ska-soul horns, and riotous choruses into the mix, but maintained the same punk attitude as well as an overall warm, very French quality. "We represent France," Canavase explained to Edwards, "but with our colors." Soon, the group's popularity spread throughout Great Britain as well. One single, "Zobi," was named Record of the Week by English Radio 1 daytime DJs, even though both the song and the album fell just short of the British charts.
In the summer of that year, the group gave their first public performances in the United Kingdom with a series of sold-out gigs at Ronnie Scott's nightclub in south London, then played at the world music festival WOMAD. After this, the group made a bold move by touring in Beirut, Lebanon. With Les Négresses Vertes' highly entertaining live shows, cultural background, and infectious music, the group's popularity soared. In 1990, the group contributed the track "I Love Paris," a song originally performed by Cole Porter, to the Red Hot and Blue AIDS benefit album. This was the only song the group recorded in a language other than French. Around the same time, Les Négresses Vertes participated in several antiracism events in France.
In 1991, the band arrived with their second studio album, aptly titled Famille Nombreuse. For this record, Stéfane Mellino had taken on most of the songwriting duties; Helno, whose drug habit was increasingly interfering with his creative abilities, remained unable to write new songs. However, Famille Nombreuse--and Mellino's songwriting force--proved a huge success in both France and Britain, with the ska-styled single "Famille Heureuse" again just missing the United Kingdom charts.
After another round of touring, Helno, attempting to overcome his addiction to heroin, took a leave from the band and moved home with his parents. However, on January 22, 1993, he tragically died of an overdose in his own bed. The remaining members of the Les Négresses Vertes family were hard hit by the event; four left the group immediately, and those who stayed were left fearful and fragile, contemplating breaking up the group altogether. "At the moment when he died, he died so suddenly that we couldn't believe it," Mellino told Edwards.
To the joy of fans, Les Négresses Vertes decided to press on. While considering their next move, the group released a 1993 stopgap album entitled 10 Remixes 87-93, featuring remixes by the likes of Massive Attack and William Orbit. The record also included a new version of "200 Ans D'Hypocrisie" in honor of Helno. Two years later, Les Négresses Vertes released an album of new material, Zig-Zague, with producer Rupert Hine. A double album of live recordings, Green Bus, followed in 1996. Both recordings received critical praise and established Mellino as the undoubted leader and dominant songwriting force.
In late 1999, Les Négresses Vertes released Trabendo with British producer Howie B. The set of seductive songs and ultra-contemporary grooves proved once again that Les Négresses Vertes had maintained their unique edge, continuing to outshine their younger rivals. In the United Kingdom, bands such as Trans-Global Underground worked in similar areas, but whereas these British bands always seemed over-stylized or contrived, Les Négresses Vertes eclecticism and humor always felt effortless. The members' differences, as well as their deep relationships with one another, have also enabled them to endure. "They bring with them influences from various parts of the world just because of their mixed-family backgrounds and the fact that they co-exist in this huge kind of family spirit," former producer Hind told Edwards. "I mean, nine members and their respective wives and girlfriends and boyfriends, and they kind of operate as a large group, as a family, or a commune even."

Bigfoot News
Sierra Shooting...
Bigfoot Evidence :: General
Do you think the Sierra Bigfoot shooting story is true?
1- YES
2- NO
cabochris on Fri Apr 05, 2013 8:34 pm
I'm new here and as an elk hunter in Washington State, I've seen some strange things hunting remote areas. Tracks, nests... So I tend to believe Bigfoot is real. Regarding the Sierra shooting, I just heard of that a few days ago on the Destination America TV show. If this story is true, it's bitter-sweet... Bigfoot finally proven to exist by death!
As a hunter I've sort of expected to eventually run into a Sasquatch and wondered would I shoot? I'm certain the powerful caliber rifle I use would do the job, just like it does on large elk and moose. Were I in danger, there would be no hesitation. Otherwise I just can not answer my own question. On one hand I'm a hunter and in the heat of the moment with thoughts of fame and glory...Bang! On the other, I do not kill just to kill and why kill Bigfoot? Besides many would hate me for doing so and I might even get in trouble with the law? Not to mention how I would feel for the rest of my life. Then too, it might turn out to be a person in a monkey suit!
But if I did shoot at Bigfoot there would be some fear that I might make a mistake and be squashed like a pancake! Or that, there may be some of his/her buddies around, and they would break my legs, then squash me like a pancake! But if I got 1 down, my buddies and I would be able to get him to the truck in 1 piece- we've done it with elk and miles from our truck. So Bigfoot would fill up the 8 foot pick-up bed with ease. We would have to cover the rest with a tarp so that others would not see. If word got out, surely the authorities would take the body from us, while handing out a fine/cuffs! So now what? Do we spend the night in camp, or race home with all the ice we can buy along the way? Whom would we contact- a scientist or researcher... what a mess!
The Destination show implied DNA shows a cross between a human woman and some primate, and that results would have to be confirmed? I also read the shooter is writing a book? Obviously I do not know much about this story and perhaps if there is more to know, someone here could bring me in the loop... because it sounds like this is the real deal... unless the TV show was making up the DNA results???
For me there is 1 red flag and 1 green flag. This story could be true because the shooter shot a young one. Now I would not have done that, but had I, I would tend not to talk about such a terrible deed. The shooter is talking, so this story could be true. Heck, he claims to have gone nearly on a killing rampage shooting 2! What else did he shoot that was not a bear? I'm not here to judge the shooter and hope if this story is true, the killing was not for nothing. I just feel if one made up such a story, the killing of a young Bigfoot would be left out, because it just might anger too many people! It would be like killing a kid or teen! Since it is openly included in the story, perhaps the story is true? My big problem here is that it seems the shooter and friend had no idea what a Bigfoot was. The driver declared... that's not a bear! Well that's what was on the TV show! I have never met a hunter who has not heard of Bigfoot or knows what it might look like. So if this is the case, I doubt this story is true. Come on...just about every American has heard of Bigfoot- Right? Heck, if I went bear hunting I would know what I was aiming at was a Bigfoot- why the scope on the rifle would make that clear! And if I decided to pull the trigger, it would only happen if I knew exactly what I was shooting at, or I would not shoot. Why take such a risk- one might shoot a person or a dog... believe me bright setting sunlight can fool you in the woods! It simply would be very irresponsible to shoot at an unknown! But this shooter seems to have done so? Correct me if I'm wrong because I certainly may not have all the facts, and I hope this story is true and ends the Bigfoot debate. There are a few faces I would like to rub the proof into!

Re: Sierra Shooting...

Hey Chris, not exactly a flurry of responses around here. This place feels abandoned lately. When there's no big news it's like a ghost town. I left for a month or so, came back and there was nobody here and nothing happening. Since I checked in, I voted yes in your poll. I do not think it's an unequivocal yes, I just think it's possible Smeja is telling the truth based on the number of high profile people he has been involved with since the story broke. Who would keep going under all the scrutiny after two years?
He also seems to have passed a polygraph which is only ever 70% accurate but has some weight behind it.
I don't know the guy but anyone who could shoot a young 'person' or something that seems very human is very questionable in character. Not a guy I would befriend or think highly of. This doesn't make me think he's lying however. Either one is true.
A. He's a jerk and telling the truth.
B. He's just a lying jerk.
Both can't be true. Either way he's an A-hole. That's all I can say about the guy. So who in their right mind, like you said, would willingly make themselves into possibly the greatest A-hole alive? Not many. That also makes me think it could be true as well.

I left for awhile also, due to being uncomfortable around the bickering. But back to the topic. I can't say either way whether it is true or not. As much as I would like to have an actual Bigfoot body be discovered, I wouldn't want one shot, or killed in another fashion. But the opportunity to study a body would be a great leap for science.

The Truth?
cabochris on Tue Apr 09, 2013 3:48 pm
I would think the truth about this has to come out soon, one way or the other. Quite possibly Bigfoot will soon be proven to exist. But the more I dwell on this, the less I'm believing the story. The bear hunters in the story seem like average guys. The problem I'm having is why is this taking so long? 2 possible reasons- 1, the story is a flat out lie and 2, there is money to be had? I would think if one had evidence of Bigfoot, then one would release it asap. I would want to share it with the world and bet I could not sleep at night until I had! If it was all about money, surely one could strike a deal within a few weeks. If there are DNA findings, then why not release them? That's how it's done in court!
I'm thinking the delay is because they have nothing and here's why. OK, if I had proof of Bigfoot, 1 million Dollars would sound about right for the hunk of skin, flesh and hair. Then there would be the story rights. There is no way I would be greedy and if all I could get was $500,000 I'd take it! If it were not about money then I would hold a press conference and say... whatever... and, the results/findings will be released on such and such a date/time.
There is a reason for not being too greedy. Every Bigfoot researcher knows all the glory will go to the first to prove Bigfoot. There is no second place and only 1 person or group will go down in history. Today it seems like there are many people looking for Bigfoot and spending time in the outdoors. So many that when Bigfoot proof is released, I think it will come out of Left Field like a big surprise... BIGFOOT IS REAL!!!... Fisherman finds body- pictures and all! Read all about it! Everyone will remember what they were doing on that day of breaking news. So for all we know, such could be anounced tomorrow, and the Sierra shooter would lose out on everything because he waited too long to release his evidence. That's why I would want to release my proof as soon as I could. This story seems to be on the back burner, with some riding the tailcoats for a bit of the action? The last thing I would be doing is writing a book. I would do that later and after the release of my confirmed proof. The shooter must have been compensated for the Destination America show story- but that must have been peanuts, compared to what the hunk of flesh would be worth! So why do it? Rake in the story $ after the proof/dealings... seems like the way to go with a true story?
I would think that after the release if the Destination America show, this story would break in weeks. So, I'll give them another 4 weeks to prove Bigfoot. After that, I'll chuck this one in the recycling bin!
BurdenOfProof on Thu Apr 18, 2013 6:46 pm
I voted No and it is nice to see others have voted that too.
Just another story where the evidence was "SO CLOSE" but somehow the evidence managed to escape with no trace:)
BurdenOfProof
divv on Thu Jul 17, 2014 6:24 am
As with all evidence submitted to date there is no substance to prove that these people have encountered Bigfoot. The "sierra" hair was found to be black bear, and the fellow's boots were found to have no traces of blood. All other hair samples submitted from all over the U.S. have revealed positive results identifying bears, wolves, deer, cows, porcupine, et al.
All of the people who claim to have seen Bigfoot have not taken photographic images - it is amusing because most people carry mobile phones with cameras .
Everyone who claims that certain locations are regular passages for Bigfoot' never have the sense to arrange for cameras to be set up to record as such (if the locations were so reliable) such setups would stand a good chance of positive sightings, right?
The mystique and danger of the woods coupled with the deep spiritual imagination of people, provides a compelling atmosphere to the possibility Bigfoot might exist.
Even if Bigfoot was such an intelligent creature and could avoid detection so masterfully as has been described by many, the tangible signs of existence would be discernible (bones, hair, excrement, details in the bush). The fact is there is nothing out there that substantiates any basis of existence.
It is well that science is taking a closer look at this phenomenon, but so far the bright lights of science reveal that there is no Bigfoot, that there are only hoaxes or misinterpretations.

SourceTree vs GitKraken vs Tower: What are the differences?
SourceTree, GitKraken, and Tower are all Source Code Management Desktop Apps, allowing you to manage your repositories on the desktop rather than through a browser. SourceTree is built by Atlassian and Bitbucket. GitKraken is the only one of the three that supports Linux.
The downright luxurious Git client for Windows, Mac and Linux. Cross-platform, 100% standalone, and free.

What are the cons of using GitKraken?
Why do developers choose SourceTree vs GitKraken vs Tower?
Fans of SourceTree love its visual history and branch view, citing its beautiful UI and easy repository browsing.
GitKraken users love that it works with Linux and Windows as well as Mac, and call it a full featured client that's very easy to use.
Tower fans say it "just works." They love its simple layout and GitHub integration.
What tools integrate with SourceTree?
What tools integrate with GitKraken?
What are some alternatives to SourceTree, GitKraken, and Tower?
GitKraken is the best git client so far. The user interface is very friendly. Everything is easy to do with this tool. A branch tree vizualization is very clear. I've tried SourceTree and I got lost in such many panels. Also performance of SourceTree is not as goot as GitKraken. I like Sublime Merge but it doesn't have so many features as the other tools. I've choosen GitKraken and as bonus I got GitKraken Glo that is the next perfect tool.
Para Manejar los proyectos de otras empresas y controlar las versiones de las aplicaciones en producción en personas que no tienen conocimiento de los comandos git.
I use it to manage my Repos for private projects. I love the clear UI and for me it is way easier to manage than in the shell.
Used by various PrometheanTV technical staff to interface and interact with the Git Source Control service.
Since being familiar to git CLI, I nearly never open it again except using it as a diff tool.
Used Source Tree to maintain version / commit / pull request , merge of codes for a team.
Using Git when command line is not suitable.

In this second of a two-part series of columns, Illinois Law dean and professor Vikram David Amar evaluates the major constitutional and statutory voting rights claims asserted in the federal challenge to Texas's use of the so-called Winner-Take-All approach to selecting the state's representatives to the Electoral College. Amar explains why he finds both types of arguments set forth in the complaint largely unpersuasive.
Illinois Law dean and professor Vikram David Amar comments on a lawsuit recently filed in Texas challenging the winner-take-all method by which Texas (and other states) administer presidential elections. Amar explains the benefits and drawbacks of the method and why the lawsuit is unlikely to elicit changes in Texas or elsewhere.
Illinois Law dean and professor Vikram David Amar offers five resolutions he, as a law school dean, hopes to achieve in 2018. These resolutions include taking time to read recent scholarship by his faculty, increasing attendance at campus events, improving communication between faculty and alumni, managing (and reducing, when feasible) bureaucratic burdens, and spending more time with students.
Illinois Law dean and professor Vikram David Amar describes three important constitutional takeaway lessons from 2017. First, improper motive is the key to attacking many government actions, but it is a difficult ground on which to succeed. Second, the US Supreme Court seems to take a different position from that of lower courts on a number of issues. Finally, many norms that people assume are enshrined in the Constitution are actually not.
Illinois Law dean and professor Vikram David Amar explains the federalism doctrines implicated by Attorney General Sessions' attempt to deny funding to sanctuary jurisdictions. Amar points to lower court decisions that reflect a misunderstanding of the doctrines and calls upon federal courts and their law clerks to better understand and apply not just the nuanced technical details of various specific doctrines, but the overall federalism big picture as well.

Q: Java generics type erasure I'd like to ask about java type erasure rules.
If we have classes:
public class Shape{}
public class Circle extends Shape{}

public class Base<T extends Shape>{
    T x;
    public void setX(T t){}
}

public class MainClass(){
    public static void main(String... _arg){
         Base<? extends Shape> bs = new Base<Circle>();
         bs.setX(new Circle()); // <- compilation problem
    }
}

Can you please explain me why calling setX() method causes compilation problem?

A: Because the compiler doesn't know that new Circle is valid.  Consider this code:
Base<? extends Shape> bs = new Base<Square>();  // Really a Base<Square>
bs.setX(new Circle());

(FYI, a very similar example is given in the Java tutorial on wildcards.)
You may now exclaim "But the compiler can see it's really a Base<Square>!".  But not in general.  Consider this:

What do you think if you consider the notion "mechanics"? Do you think of gears, coupled cranks consisting of rods clamped at rotating propulsions? Today mechanics does not mainly treat these more construction oriented ideas. Mechanics has much more facets. It is much more demanding and lives from interdisciplinarity to engineers, mathematicians, physicists, and computer scientists. Beyond the partial fields of fracture mechanics, dynamics of machines, structural mechanics, environmental mechanics and fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, which is, in this context, considered to be equivalent to continuum mechanics, represents one of the largest research disciplines. Within the field of solid mechanics, we distinguish between experimental mechanics, theory of materials, i.e. constitutive modeling of material properties using mathematical models, and computational mechanics. Theory of materials consists of a broad scientifical field starting from purely mathematical modeling up to the concrete physical modeling of all kinds of materials. The more traditional aspects of modeling the three-dimensional material behavior of solids under various loading processes, where one not only treats metals, plastics of elastomers, but also soils, concrete or wood, are today coupled with thermal, electrical, magnetic and chemical influences and are extended to micro-physical considerations. Moreover, biomechanics of animal and human tissues is an extremely expanded field of research.The chair of solid mechanics at the Clausthal University of Technology treats the physical modeling of various materials, which undergo small and finite strains effects. These problems occur in metal forming, elastomer and plastics technology. The models are based on experimental observations of tensile, compression and torsion tests under varying thermal conditions, see Fig.1.
In this context two important aspects occur: first, the constitutive models have material parameters, which have to be adapted/calibrated to the experiments. This is coupled with non-linear optimization algorithms. Second, the constitutive models have to be implemented into commercial and in-house finite element programs, so that any work tool can be realistically simulated.
Fig. 2. shows the five columns of the chair of solid mechanics (experiment, constitutive modeling, simulation, structural computation, and parameter identification). This is embedded in the research area of verification and validation. Verification means the development of numerical and analytical methods to proof the correctness of the solution, i.e. both the implementation into the finite element programs and the solution itself, implying the development of highly accurate and, accordingly, efficient methods. In the case of validation the numerical and physical models have to be compared with the experimental (and/or real) structural behavior. However, the quality, commonly termed by "good" or "bad", has to be specified more precisely by a metric in advance. In this research area several works have been done in the direction of material parameter identification, the conduction of experiments, constitutive modeling, and new developments in adaptive time-integration procedure using finite elements.


Do you remember the Pole Proteges shirt I gave to my friend for her birthday in October from Customized Girl?
It was part of a matching present; I was able to get mine as a birthday gift for MY birthday thanks to my mother.
See that gorgeous, gorgeous corset from CorsetChick.com to the left?
I get to review that and I'm SUPER excited!
I see another photo shoot with my photography friend in my immediate future.
I've never worn a corset, but wouldn't be against it. Neat tshirt!

Homelessness: The person behind the label
(Photo by Kristin Gallagher, digitalBURG) Preferring to use his nickname, Teddy Bear fishes for cigarettes in an ash can. Teddy is homeless but is working to help bring a permanent shelter to town.
By KRISTIN GALLAGHER
(WARRENSBURG, Mo., digitalBURG)
Part Five: A sensitive man
Editor's Note: This is the fifth story in a six-part series that offers a glimpse into the lives of the homeless in our community.
"They don't give hugs in the Army," Teddy Bear said as he shook his head and smiled a bit. "I am a very emotional person. I like to hug."
Teddy loves to smile, always offers a handshake and a hello, and strives to be a good listener to everyone he meets. Despite his appearance, with his long trench coat and backwards hat, Teddy is a very welcoming person, which is one of the reasons he believes his time is the Army did not suit him.
"There is always someone yelling in your face," he said. "The Army just wasn't for me."
Teddy came to Warrensburg after retiring from the Army with no home to go to. The Army weakened his joints to the point that he chose not to work, which left him with no means of establishing a stable home.
While Teddy did not enjoy his time in the Army, he said there were many factors that led him to enlist.
Teddy's childhood played a large role in his decision to become a soldier.
"Until the age of 12," Teddy said, " I was molested by my father. That was when I stabbed him."
Teddy was sent to a mental institution by his father and was there for six months. When he was released, he was sent back to live with his father, but not for very long.
So at 13, Teddy was kicked out.
"I wanted to get as far away from him as I could," he said. "I found my way to New Jersey where my best friend lived. A lot of truck drivers gave me rides."
Once he reached his destination, Teddy spent a lot of time with his best friend, Ken, and his cousin, Missy.
"Missy trusted me," he said. "She was affectionate. It was the first time I had real contact with anyone, and it made me cry."
Teddy spent some time staying with his mother while there, but the situation was not any more ideal than living with his father.
"My mother was a sweetheart – when she wasn't high," he said. "And my stepfather insulted me and beat me all the time."
So Teddy, Ken and Missy became a family. But there came a time for Teddy to move on. So, he saved up money and bought his first car outright.
"I had to run away," he said. "I had dropped out of school and everything."
So he ran.
Teddy began his first job delivering pizzas.
"I worked for Domino's and Pizza Hut," he said. "I wanted to work all day, every day to save up and not live in my car."
With his paychecks, Teddy would get a cheap hotel room to shower and do laundry.
"I was actually proud of myself for being on my own," he said.
Shortly after beginning work, Teddy flipped his car and ruined it. He lost both of his jobs and had to leave everything he owned in his car because he could not carry it all with him.
"This was the first time I was really homeless with no car," he said.
It wasn't long until Teddy found someone willing to give him another job.
"I began stealing cars," he said. "I got $1,000 per car. I had to steal to live, and I hated it."
Although a risky job, Teddy only had to steal one car a month to stay in a hotel for a month.
"One month I may steal four cars just so I wouldn't have to steal any the next month," he said.
By the age of 18, Teddy was ready to move on from his illegal lifestyle and push toward something better. He went to an Air Force recruiter in hopes of joining, but was let down when he was refused due to a lack of GED and much work history.
Feeling discouraged, Teddy began to give up on himself and his life.
"At 19, I hated myself," he said. "I had no friends…I wanted to be something better. I wanted to be someone who didn't hate themselves or their lives. So, I joined the Army."
Teddy signed up for eight years in the Army and completed that one-year tour in Afghanistan, but realized the military did not suit his sensitive personality. He retired immediately after his tour.
With no real home to go to, Teddy ended up in Warrensburg with hopes of finding a new way to fulfill his desire to help others.
Community Supports UCM At Get The Red Out
History of The Elliott Student Union


We work from within the Socioecological Model (circle graphic), a framework for sexual violence prevention. Individual focuses on specific educational initiatives that change the attitude, behavior, or belief of the individual. Relationship works on changing the social norms surrounding the issue of sexual violence. Community development is building university and community collaboration. Societal is the big picture work: focusing on policy changes, funding allocation, and addressing oppression systemically.
Our structure moves even beyond the Socioecological Model: we weave in the Universal, Selected, and Indicated approaches into the model. This approach allows us to be very intentional with our applications. Specifically, Universal education is a program or event that is campus while, created for consumption by anyone and is not tailored to intersecting identities. Selected education is tailored to the intersecting identities of student groups that have an increased risk of victimization and perpetration. Indicated education is specifically for students who are known to have a history of victimization or perpetration. The purpose is working to prevent future harm.
Finally, we have three main areas of focus: 1) building partnerships, 2) training staff, and 3) training students. These are intentionally structured within our framework.
One of the first things we did to build partnerships was develop our Prevention Collective. This is an open group of students, staff, faculty, and community partners who meet once a month. The group's purpose is simple, to bring partners to the table. With 20 different department and groups represented each month, The Prevention Collective agreed to collaboratively create a core set of presentations to ensure continuity in messaging.
Any department could then go through a "train the trainer" workshop to learn to facilitate the presentations. Then, if that department was contacted by a student group who they had built a relationship with, they were welcome to facilitate the training. Everything didn't have to flow through SAPEC, but the information had to be consistent and in keeping with best practices. This was well received. It empowered some and removed the burden of training from others. We have trained over 100 staff, faculty, and grad students to facilitate Jayhawks Give a Flock. We have trained 5 staff members to facilitate Consent @ KU.
The Prevention Collective agreed that training the staff was a priority. In order to educate our students, it's important that staff show continuity when addressing sexual violence: respond consistently and compassionately to survivors when they disclose and role model pro-social bystander intervention. Continuity and solidarity in messaging and responding to sexual violence evolves social norms and promotes collaboration.
When training staff, we are very intentional per department, tailoring the presentations and workshops to departmental needs and real-world scenarios, utilizing both Universal and Selected educational frameworks. We want to create a foundation and commonality for all staff and then build the skills for staff who may have a greater exposure to both survivors and offenders.
We focus on developing a comprehensive primary prevention curriculum that is tailored to the needs of the students. Our center was born from the voice of student activism and demands; we take that origin very seriously. Our philosophy is "nothing for us without us." So all the programing that comes out of SAPEC is created or influenced by students.
Our student programs not only focus on effecting change on the individual level but also work to cultivate student thought-leaders and mentors who could change the social norms surrounding sexual violence within their social circles. Thus, we are very intentional in how presenters connect with students, only presenting in small groups, never larger than 35. When applicable we break the trainings down even smaller and train cohorts together to increase peer accountability and normalize learning objectives.

Institute for Experiments with Business
The Institute for Experiments with Business (Ibex) is an emergent research entity, situated within the FoAM network. Its interest is to collect, conduct and report on experiments in and with business, including new and wild takes on organisational staples such as budgets, contracts, organisational form, business coaching and the business plan. Research and activities include the Feral Business Research Network, RADMIN, Britain's first festival of Administration (and associated publications) the Feral MBA, a radically different kind of training course in business for artists (and others), and Feral Business Coaching, an ongoing project to undo and recode the fundaments of business advice.
An underlying area of attention for the Institute is the exploration of grey areas (legal, regulatory, financial, spatial, constitutional, jurisdictional). Our interest is to distinguish between grey areas engaged with inadvertently or defensively, and those ventured into consciously, with curiosity, as a process of research. This approach identifies certain kinds of grey areas as more than sites of disabling risk or havens of disproportionate privilege, but also potentially fertile spaces where different things can be tested and grow, and where new claims for cultural legitimacy could be made.
This work emerges out of conversations between Kate Rich and FoAM Earth, and draws upon the wider FoAM network as a community of knowledge, practice, infrastructure, deals, encounter, experimentation and exchange.
The Institute is a feral research strand opportunistically entwined with Kate's PhD research at the University of the West of England (UWE), where she is developing a context, prospectus and curriculum for a radically different type of business school, the Feral MBA.

Lapham-Marquette
Garden-Based Learning
"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world". Nelson Mandela
The Lapham Outdoor Classroom and Community Garden
In 1998, Lapham teacher Ken Swift had an idea. Create a garden space on school grounds to extend learning to the outdoors. It was a novel concept at the time, but thanks to his ongoing efforts, and the dedication of many others who followed in his footsteps, the Lapham Outdoor Classroom and Community Garden became the first school garden in the city of Madison and continues to thrive today.
Through the years, the garden has undergone many changes and improvements. As a result, it now features raised garden beds, a trellis tunnel, a huge raspberry patch, a fruit grove that includes sour cherry, apple and pear trees, a large storage shed, gravel path, sound structures, tile art, as well as a number of perennial flowers, shrubs, and herbs.
Ken Swift, Retired Lapham Teacher & Garden Founder
The Lapham garden is an outdoor classroom that strives to:
Encourage exercise and healthy eating through first-hand experience growing and tasting fruits and vegetables.
Connect students to the natural world inspiring an appreciation, awe and respect for nature – and to have fun in the process!
Offer students experiential garden-based learning activities and encourage the integration of garden activities into classroom curriculum that supports Common Core State Standards wherever possible.
Expose students to hands‐on environmental education opportunities.
Build community within our school by offering spring and fall workdays, picnics and potlucks; inviting our after school program to utilize the garden; and giving Lapham-Marquette families opportunities to "Adopt-the-Garden-for-a-Week" through our summer maintenance program.
Build community beyond our school's walls by designing a garden that offers wheelchair and stroller accessibility; inviting summer school and scout programs to utilize the garden; inviting our neighbors to participate in our "Adopt-the-Garden-for-a-Week" summer program and organized workdays; growing food and donating it to neighborhood food pantries to address food insecurity; and providing a relaxing, fun, educational garden for people of all ages and mobilities to enjoy!
Gardener-in-Residence Program
In 2011, the Lapham-Marquette PTG began sponsoring a program in collaboration with Rooted (formally Community Groundworks) to hire a garden educator to help manage the garden and to ensure that every student at Lapham would benefit from it. This program continues to be funded annually by the LMPTG. Click here to learn more about the Gardener-in-Residence program through Rooted.
Meet the Gardener-in-Residence
Due to Covid-19, Gardener-in-Residence programming has been suspended for 2020. We hope to restart this programming when kids are physically back in school. Although our GIR programming was suspended, volunteers planted and maintained the garden during the 2020 growing season and families and community members had the opportunity to volunteer in the garden throughout the summer. All produce grown in the garden was harvested and donated weekly to the Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center food pantry.
For information about last years programming you can review the 2019 Annual GIR Report.
Katy Clayshulte, 2018-2019 Gardener-in-Residence
The Lapham Garden & Green Team
The Lapham Garden & Green Team works in collaboration with the GIR and meets periodically to discuss Lapham's Outdoor Classroom & Community Garden programming. All Lapham families, staff and community members are welcome to attend. Meetings are generally announced through the Lapham Garden & Green Team Facebook Page, PTG Facebook Page and the PTG Email List.
Continue to employ a Gardener-in-Residence to guarantee the sustainability of our program
Maintain classroom participation and provide teachers the support they need to lead classroom visits
Assist with maintenance and improvements to the garden space
Increase number of garden volunteers (school and community)
Increase number of Garden & Green Team Committee members
There are many ways to contribute, whether you have a few hours to spare or you would like to make a longer-term commitment:
Attend a garden-related meeting or event. Subscribe to the PTG Listserv and/or PTG Facebook Group
Follow the Lapham Garden & Green Team Facebook Page
Volunteer in the garden (especially during the summer) to help with planting, weeding, watering and harvesting
Volunteer in the garden during classroom visits in late Spring and early Fall
Lead, participate or donate to a garden fundraiser
Research, write and apply for grants

Corn Connection: Isaac isn't only one returning for '666'
The sixth installment in the neverending enduring Children of the Corn series sees the return of a star from the original film. It's not Linda Hamilton.
It's no secret either, as the title gives it away; this is the film that brings back child cult leader Isaac (John Franklin). You can hear the actor introduce this week's episode of Now Playing Podcast, in which the hosts also explain how Franklin played a critical role in getting the 1999 sequel made.
As it turns out, he's not the only familiar face (familiar used loosely). Children of the Corn 666: Isaac's Return features a pair of famous genre stars, along with a few names who are returning to the Corn series as new characters.
That turns out to be great news for this week's Corn Connection, as you'll be able to get away from the fields and enjoy some of the better films reviewed in the Now Playing archives.
Nancy Allen (Rachel) – Carrie Retrospective, Robocop Retrospective, Poltergeist Retrospective
Nancy Allen is one of those stars who gets a lot of coverage on Now Playing Podcast. Not only did she make an appearance in last fall's Carrie retrospective, but her work in the Robocop series was profiled earlier this year, and she showed up in the Poltergeist donation series. The latter was available exclusively to donors.
Stacy Keach (Doc Michaels) – Batman Retrospective
Keach's resume goes back decades, but the actor only appears one other time in the Now Playing archives; he voiced Carl Beaumont and the murderous Phantasm in Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.
John Franklin (Isaac) – Children of the Corn Retrospective, Child's Play Retrospective
It's all about Isaac.
Franklin, as mentioned above, returns to the Corn series more than a decade after he starred in the original film. Franklin also did voice work for the first Child's Play film, which was reviewed on Now Playing but released exclusively to donors.
Gary Bullock (Zachariah) – Robocop Retrospective, Children of the Corn Retrospective
Bullock just showed up in the previous Corn film, credited as "Farmer."
This isn't the first time he's appeared in a series as two different characters; Bullock also appeared as "Hack Doctor" in Robocop 2 and then as "Gas Station Clerk" in Robocop 3.
William Prael (Jake) – Children of the Corn Retrospective
This is where it gets silly. Prael, like Bullock and Franklin, also has a previous Corn film on his resume. He appeared in Children of the Corn IV, where he is credited as "Concerned Father."
It's not over, there are still three Corn films to go. And, as Arnie teases in this week's episode, there's a very familiar face to look forward to next week.

Corn Connection: Terminator, Living Dead, and Garbage Day!
As Now Playing Podcast embarks on its nine-part Children of the Corn series, listeners are invited to take part in some behind-the-scenes fun; pointing the stars of the franchise toward their places in the Now Playing archives.
Stars? Actually, yes. It turns out, the cornfields are full of familiar faces. Perhaps the word "stars" is stretching it a bit, but there's no doubt you'll recognize some of them.
So, what about that 1984 Children of the Corn film? Which actors and actresses went on to further mention on Now Playing Podcast?
Here's a look:
Linda Hamilton (Vicky) – The Terminator Retrospective Series
There will never be another Sarah Connor (just try it reboots!). Corn was released in theaters about seven months before The Terminator in 1984, and if it weren't for her iconic role, it's likely we wouldn't be talking about Hamilton again unless Now Playing Podcast ever reviews King Kong Lives.
R.G. Armstrong (Diehl) – Predator Retrospective Series
This actor has a career dating back to the 1950s, with more than 180 credits listed on his IMDB page. But to Now Playing Podcast listeners, he'll always be remembered as Gen. Phillips, the man who sent Arnold Schwarzenegger and his team of commandoes into the jungle, where they ended up facing the Predator.
Why did he pick Arnold? Cause some damn fool accused him of being the best!
John Franklin (Isaac) – Child's Play Retrospective Series
Listeners will get to know John Franklin very well during the Corn series, as his turn as Isaac will likely be the role that defines his Hollywood career.
But Franklin did make an appearance in another Now Playing series; he did voice work for the first Child's Play film. Unfortunately, that's a series currently locked away in the Now Playing vault.
Courtney Gains (Malachai) – Halloween Retrospective Series and Back to the Future Retrospective Series
Gains is one of those 80s actors that you'll swear you saw in 100 films. You're probably right some of the time, the rest of the time you're mistaking him for Stu Charno or Jason Lively.
But Gains has made a couple of appearances in films reviewed by Now Playing Podcast. He's got an uncredited role in Rob Zombie's Halloween and also the first Back to the Future film.
The latter will have you scratching your head, but pop in that disc (or tape?) again and take a look. You'll see Gains in a pivotal scene. Here's a hint: Earth Angel.
John Philbin (Amos) – The Return of the Living Dead Retrospective Series
Philbin is another actor that you'll recognize in several roles, most notably as a member of Patrick Swayze's gang in Point Break.
But he also played a role in The Return of the Living Dead, which is currently locked away in the Now Playing Podcast vault.
Eric Freeman (Israel, uncredited) – Silent Night, Deadly Night Retrospective Series
Wait, Eric Freeman? That Eric Freeman? Garbage Day Eric Freeman??
Yes, one of the most mocked memorable villains in the annals of Now Playing Podcast makes an uncredited appearance in the first Corn film. Sadly, he doesn't get the chance to speak his most famous two-word line.
But you can enjoy the best/worst that Freeman offers as an actor during Now Playing's hilarious 2012 holiday series. Enjoy Arnie's Christmas jingles!
That does it for Children of the Corn. Did we miss anyone? If you spot an actor or actress with a connection to Now Playing Podcast leave a comment and help a fellow listener!

Maybe it was the new alternate jerseys. Maybe it was lighting the lamp three times. Maybe it was Matt Morris making 39 saves.
Whatever...The UMaine hockey team got its first win of the season Friday night, a 3-2 victory over Vermont.
Dan Ranouf scored two of the goals and assisted on the other goal by Blaine Byron.
Goalie Matt Morris stopped 39 shots, just one save away from his career high.
The Catamounts did outshoot Maine 41-29 but Vermont went 0-for-3 on their powerplay. The Black Bears were 2-for-5.
UMaine's record is now 1-8-3 (1-4 HE). Vermont is 3-7-2 ((2-3-2 HE).
The second game of the weekend series at Alfond Arena is today at 4pm.

Pennsylvania Supreme Court Explicitly Declares Attorneys' Fees and Penalty Provision of the Pennsylvania Prompt Pay Act Discretionary
9/6/2016 | Construction Blog
n an opinion issued in July, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court categorically declared the award of attorneys' fees and penalties under the Pennsylvania Prompt Pay Act to be discretionary. While the statute itself contains language which suggests such an outcome, the Court's decision in Scott Enterprises, Inc. v. City of Allentown formally settles an issue which many construction practitioners understood differently and argued differently in litigation.
In the Scott Enterprise case, Scott entered into a road construction contract with the City of Allentown. After work started, it was discovered that the soil where construction was being performed was contaminated with arsenic. The City stopped work and undertook efforts to address the situation. It was eventually determined it would be safe to work if certain precautions were undertaken while the work was being done. Scott, as the contractor, refused to move forward with the work absent an agreement to cover the additional costs that would result since the City was aware that the soil may be contaminated before it originally started work on the project. An agreement could not be reached, Scott refused to return to the project, and suit was brought by Scott to recover its losses on the project.
The matter went to trial and the jury determined that the City of Allentown acted in bad faith when it refused to compensate Scott for the work. Scott argued that a verdict that the City acted in bad faith made the application of the attorneys' fees and penalties provisions of the Procurement Code mandatory. While the Court could exercise its discretion to determine what was reasonable according to Scott, it had to award something. The City, conversely, argued that no bad faith had been proved and that the Prompt Pay Act is in fact discretionary.
The trial court determined that the Prompt Pay Act's use of the word "may" in relation to the award of attorneys' fees and the penalty made the decision entirely discretionary and allowed the trial court to award no fees or penalty. The Commonwealth Court agreed with Scott and reversed the trial court in holding that the award of attorneys' fees and penalties was mandatory. Then, on discretionary appeal, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court reversed again and agreed with the trial court. The rationale was simply that the statute uses the word "may" and the rules of statutory construction require a conclusion that the award of attorneys' fee and penalties under the Prompt Pay Act is entirely within the sound discretion of the court. Of note, the Supreme Court also acknowledged the difference between the use of the word "shall" in the Pennsylvania Contractor and Subcontractor Payment Act (for private projects) and the word "may" in the Pennsylvania Prompt Pay Act (for public projects).
The nuances which were the subject of argument in this recent case have been the subject of litigation for some time for Pennsylvania construction counsel. The state's highest court has now declared its position, however, and the issues is settled law … for now.

Duncan always takes great care of my piano. He always takes time to listen, and makes sure everything sounds great! Any concerns I have he goes over with me. He does great work! They are also very kind about finding time to fit me in around a sometimes crazy schedule. Thank you Duncan and your staff! You guys are wonderful to work with.
I'm so grateful we found Duncan at The Gilded Piano. He was able to rebuild parts of a broken leg on my Grandmother's 100-year old baby grand. He went the extra mile and checked the other legs too. Extremely professional, friendly, and skilled. We're looking forward to working with The Guilded Piano for future tunings and repairs.
I can't recommend The Gilded Piano enough!! They were incredibly prompt in communicating with me, they showed me exactly what they were doing and what was being worked on, they found a penny in my piano that had been driving me crazy, and best of all, their pricing was incredible! I am so grateful they went above and beyond what I had paid for and requested. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Duncan was friendly, efficient, and did an excellent job. He charged us around $40 less than the quoted price because our piano didn't require a full pitch raise and he said he doesn't like to charge for work he doesn't have to do. We will definitely call him again for future piano maintenance!
Duncan is personable, professional, and every time he finishes a service, our piano sounds fantastic! He may cost a little more than some of the other piano tuners, but it's worth knowing that the tuning will be done by someone that not only has the right training, but also has an obvious love for music.
Duncan was awesome! You can tell he loves what he does and does it very well. I especially loved how he took such good care of my 99 year old 🎹 piano. I really loved the concert he gave me afterwards. I highly recommend him.
My piano sounds amazing when he is finished tuning. Duncan has tuned my piano twice and is very friendly and informative. I appreciate his willingness to share information about my piano and how to care for it. He is professional and very fun to talk to. Thank you Duncan!!
Duncan started The Gilded Piano in 2003 and has been in business since. Duncan has achieved the credential of Registered Piano Technician (RPT), the most widely recognized professional piano tuning accreditation in the country. He has also attended multiple trainings around the country. Part of that training included instruction at the Steinway & Sons factory in New York City as well as at the Yamaha Little Red School House in Buena Park, California. Because of his training, he is the most credentialed piano tuner in the state of Utah.
Duncan has tuned for top musicians in Utah including Jon Schmidt, Paul Cardall, Big Bad Voo Doo Daddy, and has been a contract technician in charge of as many as 270 pianos at Brigham Young University and the MTC. Duncan also services the pianos for Salt Lake Community College, Murray School District, Nebo School District High Schools, Daynes Music, and hundreds of homes across the Wasatch Front. Duncan attended BYU (1998-2002) where he studied Organ Performance for 3 years, and graduated with his BA in Music. Because of Duncan's work and education, he has become a very experienced Utah piano tuner.
Duncan met his wife, Gina, when he came tuned her piano in 2004. They got married in April 2007 and have been blessed with two beautiful daughters, Chloe (11) and Charlotte (9). When Duncan is not tuning pianos, he spends his free time attending his daughters' school and extracurricular events, including their piano recitals.

Three New York City residents are facing criminal charges after cops found them clinging to their gun and religion.
Following a traffic stop early Monday in Brooklyn, NYPD officers discovered marijuana, a knife, and an open container of alcohol inside a vehicle occupied by Andre Allen, 34, Santina Ferguson, 21, and driver DeShawn Thompson, 24.
The cops also located what appeared to be a leather-bound Bible (King James version). However, upon closer inspection, officers discovered that the purported Good Book was actually a lockbox hiding a loaded Glock handgun.
The fake Bible is seen in the above and below NYPD photos.
Thompson, Ferguson, and Allen were each charged with criminal possession of a weapon and marijuana possession.

In 1921 the estate of George C. Park (40 acres) was purchased and combined with the adjoining Allen Estate and became Rye Country Club. The Park estate contained the magnificent Whitby Castle which was designed by Alexander Jackson Davis in 1852 which now serves as the clubhouse and restaurant. The original Rye Country Club drew its inspiration from two famous British clubs at the time: Ranelagh near London and the Glen Eagles near Edinburgh. Anticipated membership at the outset was 1,000. The golf course was designed by the famous course architect of the time, Devereaux Emmet (Bonnie Briar, Pelham Country Club, Hampshire). The club fell onto hard times during the Depression but managed to hang in through WWII. To avoid being sold for housing development, the club reorganized and restructured itself and became the Ryewood Country Club which it remained named until 1965 when it was purchased by the city of Rye and renamed the Rye Golf Club.
For a more detailed history of the Rye Golf Club please read the articles below written by Rye resident and history enthusiast Carl Friedrich.

Q: Does integrating out a variable in a two-variable measurable function produce a measurable function? This problem is not a mere consequence of Fubini's Theorem, so I thought that it would be suitable for posting here on MSE.
Let $ (X,\Sigma,\mu) $ and $ (Y,\text{T},\nu) $ denote $ \sigma $-finite measure spaces. Suppose $ F $ is a $ (\Sigma \otimes \text{T}) $-measurable function with the property that for each $ x \in X $, the function $ F(x,\cdot): Y \to \mathbb{C} $ is $ \nu $-integrable. Is it then necessarily true that the function $ G: X \to \mathbb{C} $ defined by
$$
\forall x \in X: \quad G(x) \stackrel{\text{df}}{=} \int_{Y} f(x,y) ~ \mathrm{d}{\nu(y)}
$$
is $ \Sigma $-measurable? Note that $ F $ is not assumed to be an element of $ {L^{1}}(X \times Y,\Sigma \otimes \text{T},\mu \otimes \nu) $.
Thank you for your help!

A: Yes. This follows by an application of the Fubini-Tonelli theorem on the positive/negative parts of the real/imaginary parts of $f$.
Note that for Fubini-Tonelli, non-negativity (together with measurability) is enough, you do not need $f \in L^1$.
