Episode 3.10 "The New Deal" - Klaus (Joseph Morgan) ©2011 The CW Network
British actor Joseph Morgan made his film debut in Peter Weir's Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World starring opposite Russell Crowe. He went on to play a featured role in Oliver Stone's Alexander and was recently seen as Lysander in the blockbuster Immortals.
He is currently starring with Paul Wesley, Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev on the popular TV series The Vampire Diaries as Klaus, one of the 'Originals' – the very first vampire family – and the most powerful vampire in existence.
I spoke with Joseph after the 'Bad-Ass Boys of the CW' panel at the TV Critics tour, and he talked about his character and the series, which he hopes will go on for a long time.
Are you surprised that there was room on this show for a vampire who is even more evil?
Elena (Nina Dobrev), Damon (Ian Somerhalder), Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and Stefan (Paul Wesley) ©2011 The CW Network
I wasn't that surprised, because I'm a fan of the genre and I have been for years. I thought about how I'd play a vampire, I grew up watching vampire films and reading books. Damon, Ian's character, has it to a certain extent, but the really playful element was missing.
A guy who is not afraid of anything, so everything becomes a bit of a joke. I felt that there was room for the Hannibal Lecter, crazy, scary character who could be brought in, that kind of quiet calm.
For somebody who is so old on the show what kind of back story do you write for yourself, or do you even bother?
There's a certain amount that's developed for you through the flashbacks, then you fill in some of the gaps. I tend not to make up too [many] solid events that he's been through, because that informs what I'm playing and then that is redefined by the writers.
When I joined the show I didn't know that Paul's character, Stefan, and I had a history together. So my first few scenes I was playing with him I had no idea that we knew each other for years, and back in the '20s we were friends.
It's useful to a certain extent to make up a back story, but to create anything that is too solid is detrimental when you're playing things later on.
Out of all of the flashbacks you've done as Klaus, which one did you find the most fascinating to do?
Episode 3.03 "The End of the Affair" - Stefan (Paul Wesley), Rebekah (Claire Holt), Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and Liam (Shane Callahan) ©2011 The CW Network
Chicago, 1920s. I've done a lot of period drama before, but 1920s Chicago is something that I was immediately attracted to, the tuxes, the style of the whole thing, the Speakeasies, it was incredibly exciting for me.
Were you surprised to be asked back for another season on the show?
I knew that there was the potential from the beginning, so I knew that it was more like, 'I'm doing four episodes and if I really mess them up I'm not coming back, [but] if everything goes well I'm coming back for a season.'
So I wasn't expecting it, but I was hoping. Once I started I wanted to come back desperately, because I'm having so much fun doing it.
Do you see a spark of humanity in Klaus?
Episode 3.12 "The Ties That Bind" - Klaus (Joseph Morgan) ©2011 The CW Network
There's a human element for sure. The more I do this, the more I have to pull away from being two-dimensional evil and give this guy motives.
That's been a great thing about the writing, it has really helped me, because they've layered the character now so there are all these things with his family, where he's bringing in all of these feelings.
The dysfunctional relationship with his father is something that is relatable to a lot of people. Relationships are often very complex and can be the motives for acts which, if they were seen objectively, could be deemed evil. But I really think there needs to be something behind all of that.
I hope they keep writing stuff like that so that we keep learning more and more the motives. I don't think we'll ever get to the point where we forgive everything that he's done, but at least maybe we can understand it.
Is he going to have a love life?
Episode 3.05 "The Reckoning" - Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) ©2011 The CW Network
A love interest for Klaus is something I've been pushing for a long time. There is going to be someone that he has his eye on, and it is going to be difficult for him. He's used to getting what he wants, and he's not going to get what he wants immediately out of this.
It's going to be something that takes a little time, and for the first time in a thousand years he's going to be challenged by this person.
Is it an existing character?
I can't comment on that, and I wouldn't want to spoil it for you. Actually, you're not going to have to wait very long at all [to find out]. It's really exciting.
What are you watching on television?
The Walking Dead, I'm a massive fan of it. I love that show. I've read all the graphic novels, and I'm putting it out there, just in case they want someone for a guest episode.
It's not enough being a werewolf/vampire, you need to be a zombie too?
I'd rather be one of the survivors. There's something intriguing to me about being alive in this post-apocalyptic world where suddenly we define the rules.
It's down to us to define what's good and what's bad, what's right and what's wrong. That's what's really exciting to me about it.
What is your take on the allure of vampires?
First of all, they've been made sexier over the last few years. They were always monsters before that. I think Interview with the Vampire made vampires sexy.
I think there's something that people can relate to, especially teenagers, about the idea of someone who holds a dark secret, who is struggling with something inside themselves, struggling to be accepted because there's a part of themselves that they're ashamed of, and yet they would just like to be like everyone else.

De Montfort University Student's Union have organised rapper Akala, self-proclaimed 'Shakespeare reincarnated', to speak to students in an upcoming event to inspire black minority ethnic students.
The event will focus on giving advice to BME students on identity, higher education and leadership as well as discussing the need to liberate higher education.
Whilst this is a 'BME inspired' event, all students are accommodated for and are welcome to hear Akala speak.
Well known for his inspirational speeches and and lectures Akala will speak to students in the hopes of bridging the gap between minority ethnic students and the struggles faced whilst at university.
The event is completely free for students and will run from 1 to 5pm in the Hugh Aston building on campus.
Other guest speakers include: Aadam Muuse, National Union of Students' (NUS) Black Students' Officer and Mostafa Rajaai, National Union of Students' (NUS) International Officer to name a few.


Emmanuel Mennonite Church (unaffiliated), located in Meade County, Kansas, five miles (eight km) south and four miles (6.5 km) east of the city of Meade, was organized 30 April 1944 as an independent church with 124 charter members, under the leadership of Henry R. Harms, who served as its first pastor, as a direct result of the dissolution of the Kleine Gemeinde congregation at Meade. One of the two church buildings formerly used by this group was enlarged to seat about 350, and was then used by the Emmanuel Mennonite Church. In the winter of 1952-53 the congregation built a new parsonage near the church. Samuel H. Epp, the pastor as of 1954, successor to H. R. Harms, served an average congregation of 230, the membership being 210. The deacons assisting the pastor were George J. Rempel and Peter L. Classen. In 2008 the pastor was Kenneth Harder.

The Performance Package of Renntech for SL 65 AMG Black Series boosts the car to 1356Nm (1000 lb-ft)of torque and 816PS.
Its massive 6.0 liter V12 with two turbochargers originally develops just 670PS and 1000Nm (737 lb-ft) of torque and still overjumps the 200mph barrier. Probably with the additional 146PS and 356 torques, Renntech are trying to blast the sports coupe in the space and reach the Moon.
The package includes, not only powering-up the motor, but upgrading the transmission and 100% Locking Rear Differential. This changes are significant to maintain the staggering power and to put it on the road.
The Performance Package 1 is priced from $16 390 (€12 650), so if you own SL65 AMG Black Series, you definitely should go to nearest office of the tuning company Renntech.


also, the hills are not to realistic... Everything else works fine.
Nice job! The textures match well together! It would be better if you could make the flowers more sporadic and random, but even without that, it is still a good wall. Thanks for sharing it with us!
The extraction is good and I really like it!
the wallpaper looks nice, the chara and the frame made of flowers fit well together, but the bg scene doesn't quite fit.
Oh lovely. I like the flowers and the water and the castle and all the pretty scenery. Looks nice. Well great job!
OHH this is so creative, and oh wow using that scan for a wall, I would have never thought of that. Its so pretty im jealous XD. I love the flowers used in this wallpaper, they even match the painted style or just style of the girl scan! :D. The sky is nice looking, I like the rays of light in there as well. I do agree with Blue in this, the hills look a little bit errr.. maybe you could have shaded some of the flowers and made the hill darker *runs away dont hit me*. I love the sun behind the girl and the lighting source to the left side, its nicely balanced out if i may say XD the text is a little bit to far to the left for me though, but thats just me >.<. I think you did a wonderful job on this wall, im like wow! O.O its like a magical land and this wall takes me right there! Oh and I love the flowers and the stocks were filtered nicely, Lacus Loves Stocks XD! Haha *adds to favs no doubt* Your such a great artist, and kodos for extracting out so much *hugs*. And wow I wrote alot more than I usually do on walls haha, your special though ;).
You guys keep making such absolutely fantastic walls out of my scans!
Oh Wow! That is soo beautiful Rikka-san! Congrats!
The landscape is wonderful! I love the flowers you put around the wallie too!
Great work my friend! Hope to see more!
oh wow, talk about beautiful! simply amazing...the scan...i love the way it looks and the girl *sniff* so pretty....and i especially love the background. hehe a cute little castle! well i don't know what else i can say but its pretty much perfect....i love love love it! good job!
Totally, the scan quality and the bg is wayyy different.. >_> Like, the character's rough and the bg is smooth.. You should add gaussian blurr to the scan I suggest.. >.< And the sun..it's not too bright.. It needs more light and contrast. :) The flowers look a bit crowded at the bottom, and the font need to be put somewhere else.. The hills has quite jagged lines and it looks a bit fake..>.< The castle is well done, the water is calm & beautiful, the the sky is wonderfull. Good job. Keep it up!

Research and development work on high-temperature and high-pressure (up to 1500°F TIT and 4500 psia) topping steam turbines and associated steam generators for steam power plants as well as combined cycle plants is being carried forward by DOE, EPRI, and independent companies. Aeroderivative gas turbines and heavy-duty gas turbines both will require exhaust gas supplementary firing to achieve high throttle temperatures. This paper presents an analysis and examples of a split stream boiler arrangement for high-temperature and high-pressure topping steam turbine combined cycles. A portion of the gas turbine exhaust flow is run in parallel with a conventional heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). This side stream is supplementary fired opposed to the current practice of full exhaust flow firing. Chemical fuel gas recuperation can be incorporated in the side stream as an option. A significant combined cycle efficiency gain of 2 to 4 percentage points can be realized using this split stream approach. Calculations and graphs show how the DOE goal of 60 percent combined cycle efficiency burning natural gas fuel can be exceeded. The boiler concept is equally applicable to the integrated coal gas fuel combined cycle (IGCC).

This is the beginning of an occasional series where I attempt to flesh out the lives of our ancestors. This will likely lean heavily toward the Kinsel side of things (sorry Mom) since the Mongomery line has lots of stories and work done.
Julia "Dora" Treter Kinsel was born in Yurneschavo, Cries Schroda Province, Posen, Germany. Here parents were Daniel and Julia Baumert Treter. She had 3 brothers and one sister-, Ferdinand, Edward, Ameal (possibly Emil) and Anna.
In 1964, when Dora was just 14, her family left from Hamburg, Germany on the ship Thuringia. She and her family settled in Caroll, Ohio. Her father is listed in both the passenger list and in the 1889 census as being a "farmer". During the 1800's, many German immigrants came to Ohio to take part in the American dream. Most of their neighbors in the 1880 census are all from Germany or Prussia, so it perhaps wasn't as much of a "culture-shock" as we might think to move from her home in Germany to Ohio.
Dora met Otto "Adam" Emil Kinsel, another German Immigrant, and they were married 11 Mar, 1883. They had 6 children- 5 boys Emil Otto, Edward August, Henry Willie, Alfred August and Otto Godfriedt. Their oldest was their only girl- Matilda Dorthea.
Dora and her sons in 1946.
Adam died when Matilda was just 13 years old. According to his obituary, he was "attempting to raise a bent" (i learned that a "bent" is an individual assembled section of timber that makes up the framework of a barn) with his wife and two brothers. One of the posts slipped and he fell and got caught between the plank and a sill. His head was "mangled" and had a number of ribs broken.
I can only imagine what it must have been like for Dora- not only did she lose her husband, but her children weren't old enough to really help out with the farm – their only means of income. The 1900 census shows that they had a hird laborer working for them on the farm. That must have been a big help.
Dora died 2 September, 1950 at the age of 89.

That is so awesome Mak! I hope you do this again. I'm very interested in learning more about dad's side of the family.
Just out of curiosity, how do we fit in? I want to say that Alfred is Grandpa's dad, is that right? So that would make Dora our great great grandmother?
March 7, 2009 at 12:00 am. Permalink.
you got it- Alfred is Richard (Grandpa JKinsel's) Dad, so she is our gggrandmother.
March 7, 2009 at 12:14 am. Permalink.
Keep up the good work. It is awesome to make these accessible to the family. According to Grandma Clara Kinsel, she was a stalwart and amazing woman.
Grandpa Alfred Kinsel is second from the right.

Gosh I don't even know who I'm writing to here! I'm just so excited to see my greatgrandma Julia's picture here. AND my grandfather Otto Kinsel as well. I was just googling his name and this popped up. I'm VERY moved because I really had not up until recently been interested in family history. My mother, Laura Marion, is Otto's daughter, born and stillliving in the same house she born in 1925 … the same house Otto built.

Hello, Kathy sent me to your site, she and I met many years ago over AOL when I was asking if we were related? I have recently done some more research on my Great Grandfather "Mike" Kinsel who we know came from Germany and his wife Margariet Kinsel who also came from Germany, but we had no other info on either. My old notes from a distant Aunt mention that my Grandfather Amiel Kinsel had a brother Otto but nothing more? Kathy and I have always felt we were related but we haven't yet made the connection. If we are, it must be distant, but how interesting?

Proud to be B Corp Certified
When we started Leesa, we wanted to start a company that cared just as much about our impact on the world as our bottom line. That's why we are extremely proud to be B Corp certified.
What is a B Corp?
A B corporation is a company that meets the highest social and environmental standards, redefining what a successful business looks like and using business as a force for good.
The B Corp community includes companies like Patagonia, Ben & Jerry's, Allbirds and BeautyCounter, just to name a few.
What does it take to become B Corp certified?
To become B Corp certified, a company must not only have a positive impact—they must stand behind it. For a company to be certified, they have to meet a minimum B Impact Assessment score, which evaluates their impact on its workers, customers, community and environment.
More than 50,000 companies have taken the B Corp assessment. The average score? 55. To become a certified B Corp, a company must get at least 80 points. The B Corp movement is now over 2,500 companies strong, across 150 industries and 60 countries, with one goal: to leave the world a bit better than we found it.
Leesa is proud to be B
Our B Corp score is 111.4. (And we were recently re-certified!)
Here are some of the reasons we're a B Corp:
We continue to provide places for people to rest their head and heart. We have donated over 25,000 mattresses since our last certification. (That's 36,000 total!)
Leesa provides profit units for all employees. As a company, we are all working toward one goal and we want to share our success with the team that made works hard to make it happen.
We provide wellness benefits for employees, including personal trainers who come to the in-office gym every day.
We have designated breastfeeding and napping rooms for employees.
We have build relationships with our suppliers for better understanding and transparency.
Our Leesa Hybrid mattresses have 95% recycled springs. (Our Leesa Legend cover is made from recycled water bottles, organic cotton and Merino wool, but wasn't released at the time of scoring!)
We use recycled materials in our packaging.
Our headquarters building runs on renewable energy.
We decreased our shipping distance from manufacture to our customer's doorstep.
Leesa named B Corp's Best for the World 2019
We were recently named 2019 Best For The World: Community and Best for the World: Changemaker by B Lab. We ranked in the top percentile of all 3,000 B Corps for our positive impact on their community—we donate one mattress for every ten we sell, totaling over 36,000 to date. Best for the World: Community also recognized our exemplary supplier relations, hiring practices and community service policies.

Ever since the rumors about Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga carrying on a secret relationship began, the whole illicit relationship has seemed a bit one-sided. Sure, both stars were seeing other people. But the tabloids definitely made it seem like Lady Gaga was more in love with Bradley Cooper than he was with her.
The saying goes that it takes two to tango. If Lady Gaga does have feelings for her A Star is Born co-star Bradley Cooper but he doesn't feel the same, then that's not going to change much. But there are several clues that may reveal the way he really feels about the 32-year-old songstress. He even admitted the thing he loves most about her during an interview.
What is Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's relationship like?
The secret relationship rumors started not long after the release of the Academy Award-nominated film A Star is Born. The original version of the story came out in 1937 and now this version, which Cooper directed, is the fourth iteration. One thing that stood out in the 2018 reprise? The undeniable on-screen chemistry between Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. It was electric.
The stars denied having any involvement beyond a close friendship. But then there were more than a few telltale clues that they might be lying. Like when Lady Gaga couldn't stop gushing about Cooper's amazing qualities during interviews and talk show appearances. Or that time the duo performed the movie's hit single "Shallow" onstage in Vegas. It seemed the pair was even more connected after filming wrapped.
Then Lady Gaga announced her split from fiancé Christian Carino. She didn't say the breakup had anything to do with Bradley Cooper or her feelings for him – but fans had their suspicions.
Does Bradley Cooper secretly love Lady Gaga?
Bradley Cooper has been throwing around words like "love" and "admire" when it comes to Lady Gaga for months now. But just how deep are his feelings for her?
Cooper is already in a serious relationship with Irina Shayk and the pair have a 1-year-old daughter, Lea De Seine Shayk Cooper. Even if he did develop feelings for Gaga, he'd have to make decisions carefully based on his current situation. He's not the type to just abandon his family because he met a kindred spirit.
He went on to explain that he appreciates Lady Gaga's respect for her family. Lady Gaga dedicated her latest album to her late aunt, and that move resonated deeply with family man Bradley Cooper. The A-list actor and director lost his father to cancer in 2011 and still feels the loss deeply.
It would be more than a little ironic if Cooper split up his family to pursue Lady Gaga – after all, he claims to treasure those bonds more than anything in life. But it's happened in Hollywood before many times.


Alena and Ivan Rivera are examples of Auckland's 'haves' rather than 'have nots'. Credits: Newshub.
The difference between Auckland's haves and have nots is reported to be the worst in decades.
In part one of our Tale of Two Cities series, we revealed who's been left behind in Auckland's economic growth.
In part two - in collaboration with Stuff journalist Carmen Parahi - Simon Shepherd looks at which areas top Auckland's Prosperity Index and who can actually afford to buy a house.
Auckland has been having an economic party, but unfortunately not everyone has been invited.
But these are the people with the VIP ticket.
Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development (ATEED) and Infometrics' Prosperity Index shows the five local boards of Albert-Eden, Devonport-Takapuna, Ōrākei, Upper Harbour and Waitematā dominate all the measures such as income, household prosperity, and access to jobs and internet connectivity.
The most prosperous of them all is in Auckland's East - Ōrākei, which is the most prosperous part of town.
Auckland's leafy east includes suburbs like St Heliers, which has a median house price of $1.7 million.
Ivan and Alena Rivera own a townhouse in St Heliers. He's 29, she's 33. How did they get together enough money to buy a house there?
"Saving 8 percent in our Kiwisaver straight away has definitely helped, and then eventually our salaries have grown," Mrs Rivera said.
The Ōrākei local board area is full of good salaries. It tops the ranking of household incomes, $30,000 above the Auckland average of $76,000.
On the home prosperity index, Orakei is also number one.
For Mr and Mrs Rivera, their jobs mean they can meet repayments. She's an accountant, he a data scientist - a profession smack-bang in the middle of the war for talent.
"I think there is a lot of demand out there, and I don't think the supply is matching the demand just yet," Mr Rivera said.
That's a little understated. In 2016, there were 14,000 new jobs in IT - but only 5000 new graduates. We imported another 5500 workers, leaving a shortfall of 3400.
Even in 2015, the average wage in "computer systems design" in New Zealand was $100,000 - the New Zealand average is $53,000.
John Bolton of Squirrel Mortgages said his firm sees young people form the IT sector earning high wages.
"What we are seeing is couples potentially both working in IT and both on incomes of $100,000-120,000 a year so you are getting up to $250,000 of income for people who are still in the 20s."
The tech sector is the sector that's going nuts.
Aliesha Staples founded a virtual and augmented reality production company - her sector, Digital Media, grew 30 percent last year.
"It's just getting bigger and better all the time. I can't even do a business plan any more - we just threw it away every two weeks," Ms Staples said.
Most recently, Ms Staples produced a VR training video for Jetstar, so the airline could save money by not grounding an actual plane.
Ms Staples has worked on major movie titles and has designed a VR crime scene training programme to cut down on mistakes at real crime scenes.
"New Zealand is inventing new Industries and digital mediums, and our VR is world-leading. There are so many world-firsts coming out of our VR/AR industry," she said.

Auckland University of Technology (AUT) is building for the future.
It's about to open a new $120 million building dedicated to so-called STEM subjects - Science Technology Engineering and Maths.
But even when they train them, it doesn't mean graduates stay in New Zealand.
Dave Parry, Head of the Department of Computer Science, said it's becoming harder to keep graduates in New Zealand.
"It's more and more difficult to bring them back, simply because the differential in salaries and things like house prices is so large in Auckland that its very hard for them to justify in may cases."
Which brings us back to Alena and Ivan, who rented out their St Heliers townhouse because they're moving to Berlin - Ivan has been poached.
"We will come back at some point, but we are just not sure are which point," Mrs Rivera said.
For Auckland and New Zealand's sake, let's hope they do.


Today's Question: In today's economy, it's common for organizations to work with freelancers on a project-by-project basis. What tips do you, as a recruiter or employer, have to help organizations find and hire the best freelance talent?
Rather than giving potential freelancers all of the full project details, find an item that you can frame as a problem. That way, you can ask them about the project as a whole and also get their advice on how they would solve that problem. This will show you if they understand your project and if they can work with you in finding solutions to problems.
The key is to only hire people who have prior positive feedback and always – always – give a small test project (an hour's or a day's worth of work) before awarding a larger (multi-day/week/month) project. You want to test for language skills, response time, quality of work, and if they did what you asked them to do. Trial by fire is by far the best way to hire freelancers.
The other tip I frequently use is to give the same small test project to three people and let them compete through demonstrated work product for the larger project.
First, determine whether the freelancer thinks of themselves as an independent business owner, a temporary employee, or something else. From a legal perspective in many states (such as in New York), a true freelancer is probably an independent business owner and has taken steps to distinguish themselves as one. They have a website, business cards, a tax identification number that is not their social security number, and processes for estimating the costs of the work, how the work will be done, where it will be done, and when. If they don't have these things, there is a good chance that you are hiring an employee. You need to be certain you are complying with all laws, rules, and regulations from the Internal Revenue Service, as well as the Departments of Labor (DOL) and workers' compensation agencies in each state where you are hiring freelancers or where they are working. The penalties for getting this wrong can personally bankrupt you, not just your small business.
Second, do a thorough screening. A true freelancer will function like a professional, if not an entrepreneur. They will have other clients whom you can ask about the freelancer's work. They will take the lead on the project and treat you like a valued client. You shouldn't have to chase them down or train them. They will communicate with you about the progress of the project, and they should be the one determining how it will be completed. They will typically use their own tools and creative process, delivering you a customized work as your end result.
When drafting the job specification, I make sure I include the key selling points of working with me and of the role. Typically, this comprises prompt payment, ongoing training, and a pipeline of substantial work for a candidate who delivers on the job being advertised. This way, I am enticing the best in the market to choose me over my competition.
The biggest issue with hiring freelance talent is noise. The vast majority of applications are boilerplate, underqualified, or a complete waste of time. The best way to deal with this is to let the majority of applicants disqualify themselves.
The person that you want to hire will be able to read carefully and follow instructions. Asking for a pet's name in an area separate from the main description or application section or asking candidates in small print to CC to an additional email will filter 90 percent of the candidates who are not diligent.
Their are many talented undergraduate and graduate candidates in various programs who attend school full-time but are looking for both experience and added income. Build relationships with career counselors and professors in nearby schools for referrals from subject matter experts. This is also a great way to build a pipeline for future full-time opportunities.
Who would be better to represent you and your business than a enthusiastic customer, vendor, or fan? Contact any qualified cheerleaders personally with a special offer just for them.
Hiring is time-consuming, so having a successful long-term relationship with a freelancer is often important. Invest the time upfront with candidate freelancers to understand their capabilities and expectations, particularly around typical hours they would ideally work with you.
Setting a short task or going through a role play that accurately mimics the work you will need them to do helps both sides test what it would be like to work together before you commit any budget and they commit a significant amount of their time.

Venice 1: The Barber's Son: the Life of Silvestro Ganassi -a talk by Philip Thorby
« South American Adventures; in Search of Music with Jeffrey Skidmore
The Petrucci Canti B Project »
The life of Silvestro Ganassi, the son of a barber from Bergamo, who became the most famous musician in Venice as well as being a renowned painter. We will look at the Venice he knew, the Doges for whom he worked, his rich patrons and his family band. We will
see what his contemporaries wrote about him, both in biography and in fiction, and follow his life from his birth to immigrant
parents above a humble barber's shop near the rialto to his death as a proud Venetian cittadino.
If you know Philip you will know his love of Venice, Silvestro Ganassi and Adriaan Willaert: Venice for its innate beauty and its unique place in the history of the renaissance, Ganassi as the most famous and revered Venetian musician of his day, and Willaert as the gentle Fleming who expressed the Venetian ideals in his music and his character. Philip is going to share this passion in two on-line lectures and two webinars in which you are welcome to take part with comments and questions. Each one will stand alone, but taken together they will present a fascinating view of Venice in the early 1500s, where the lives of Ganassi and Willaert intertwined with the aristocratic Pietro Bembo, the great printer Aldo Manutio and the incomparable verse of Francesco Petrarca.
Booking will open in the second half of January.
The remaining three talks will be:
2. The New Prometheus of Celestial Harmony on Saturday 20th February 7pm
3. Bellezza e Bontà on Saturday 6th March 7pm
4. Musica Nova on Saturday 20th March 7pm

Q: Animated marker-like text-highlighting on scroll I'm tying to recreate the effect that can be seen on this page:
http://people.com/chica/gabriel-zamora-male-beauty-influencer/
If you wait for it to completely load, then scroll past the "His passion for makeup began with one simple desire" part, you'll notice text being highlighed with a yellow background as it is scrolled into view.
Trying to figure out the most elegant and lightweight way to achieve this (I'm thinking CSS3+Jquery)?

A: Its not completely clear what exactly you want help with here. But by inspecting the code on the site you´re refering to it seems they are using a gradient as a background and then animating that background position. This can be achieved through either CSS animation or changing the elements background position with javascript or jQuery. Here is my example:
HTML:

Some text before
Your text here
Some text after

CSS With CSS-animation:
#hightlight{
    background-size: 200% auto;
    background-image: linear-gradient(to right,#fff 50%,#ff0 50%);
    background-position: 0% 0;

    animation-name: highlight;
    animation-duration: 1s;
    animation-delay: 0s;
    animation-iteration-count: 1;
    animation-fill-mode: forwards;
}
@keyframes highlight {
    from {background-position: 0% 0;}
    to {background-position: -100% 0;}
}

This will give you an animation using the CSS Keyframes. Alternatively you can use javascript and CSS like this:
CSS:
#hightlight{
    transition: 1s;
    background-size: 200% auto;
    background-image: linear-gradient(to right,#fff 50%,#ff0 50%);
    background-position: 0% 0;
}

And javascript:
document.getElementById("hightlight").style.backgroundPosition = "-100% 0";

What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world is, and remains, immortal.
– Albert Pine –
"At a young age, Nicholas Lowinger learned not to take things for granted. When he was 5 years old and visiting a homeless shelter with his mother, he was excited for the opportunity to show off his new light-up sneakers to the rest of the kids. But his mom cautioned him against doing so, explaining that these children might not have such luxuries. Sure enough, when Nicholas met kids at the shelter, he quickly realized that they were living in circumstances that were very different from his own." He was deeply affected by that visit, and stricken with the desire to do something to help those children, and others like them. That selflessness fueled Nicholas, and he eventually started the Gotta Have Sole Foundation, which so far, has donated new footwear to more than 10,000 homeless children in 21 states. { read more }

The One Thing They Carried With Them
Inside Tim Tebow's World of Kindness


For a group that is used to growing at the rate of double figures, ending a year with takings that have "only" increased by 3.2% might have been difficult to accept. But not for Teddy, a company that was founded in Rimini in 1961 by Vittorio Tadei, a visionary entrepreneur (though he preferred to think of himself as a dreamer), who envisioned decades before the time how the distribution would change in the medium range of the clothing sector in Italy and abroad. Not only is Teddy, today, the only group that can compete, at least in our country, with the giants H&M and Inditex, it also continues to believe in a business model whose first objective is the creation of jobs, even at the disadvantage, if necessary, of some profit margin points. The CEO of the Teddy Group is Alessandro Bracci, who shares Tadei's strategic vision and ideals.
For some time now, you have exceeded a turnover figure of half a billion. What is the medium term objective?
The year 2017 ended with the figure of 642 million, and we were coming from a decade that had been like a race: the (Cagr) average yearly growth rate between 1988 and 2017 was of 16.3%. In all honesty, we didn't expect to slow down, but we must see the positive aspect, too. We were pushed into thinking hard and asking ourselves what had happened inside and outside of the company.
Let us begin with a figure: for at least 30 years, the purchasing of clothing in Italy compared to the population has been higher than in most other countries in Europe. Maybe this gap is beginning to close, because the consumers of the younger generations, not just the Milennials, prefer to spend their money on other experiences as well, linked to their wellbeing and to the pleasures of food. Then there is the digital revolution to consider, which has led to consumers purchasing on the web, where there is more choice and therefore brand loyalty decreases, and then there is the almost obsessive search for a bargain. Lastly, there is more awareness of the impact that the products we purchase have on the environment, and on the people who work in the fashion system.
Does this reasoning only apply to Italy?
I don't think so at all. We are present in 42 countries, and the overseas net turnover of the group accounts for 52.2% of the total. We notice these changes in most of the markets, except for Russia maybe, where there is still a desire to spend money on clothes, and where the Italian style is always successful.
After carrying out the analysis did you take action?
First of all, we worked on the collections of the three brands, identifying the categories where there could be a growth margin. Terranova introduced a baby collection, and Calliope added the junior lines and women's underwear, which were lacking. For Rinascimento, the brand with the highest positioning, we created a new sales format rather than one for the stores. Staff numbers have increased, too. We are investing more in training, and we are boosting the after sales services, advice in the stores, and loyalty programmes.
A bit like the luxury brands?
In a certain sense that is so. We think that the "do-it-yourself" era in the sales points of the fast fashion sector is over. To provide better services to those who still chose the physical world first, and the web secondly, we must invest in people. Teddy has an advantage in this regard, because putting the men and women who work for us at the centre of our focus, has always been our philosophy. The same is true for our customers. We don't just want to sell products and increase turnover and profits; we also want to give a positive contribution to the world we work in.
How many stores are there in the world?
In 2017 we opened 98 Terranova and Calliope sales points, and 11 Rinascimento sales points. At the end of the year, the total was nearly 700. We will continue at the same rate in 2018, thanks to the franchising formula, which applies to 84% of the Teddy Group stores. But the figure we are most proud of is the growth in staff numbers, which has risen by 12.3% to 2,871. We have taken on a lot of young experts in marketing and digital communication. They help us understand the present and look to the future without too many "precautionary" fears and worries linked to past life and work experiences. We are also confident because we are a flourishing group: the EBITA in 2017 was of 83.3 million, which means 13% of the earnings, and the financial position on 31st December 2017 was of 65.4 million, that is 11.4 more compared to the previous year.

Apple's tablet is gaining popularity throughout the world and even beyond, with a recent report revealing that even astronauts and cosmonauts on the International Space Station are using iPads.
Closer to the ground, pilots and flight attendants rely on iPads to work more efficiently, as do doctors and teachers.
Now Apple's iPad is hitting the seas, as cruise operator Royal Caribbean recently decided to hand out the tablets to its highly pampered customers, DigitalTrends reports.
Royal Caribbean announced that early next year all cabins on its Splendour of the Seas liner will be equipped with iPads, and in the next two years this service will be extended to five more luxury cruise ships.
The passengers will be able to use the iPads to get the latest news or updates regarding scheduled onboard events, or access any other information related to their trip, such as, study menus or find out about the next ports to be visited.
In addition, passengers will be able to take the iPad with them anywhere onboard to watch a movie, surf the web or communicate.
Customers are certainly being spoilt by the Royal Caribbean, though there are some concerned voices who wonder whether it might spoil the experience of travelling, should the passengers spend all their time glued to the device.

Rally demands restoration of student unions
The Newspaper's Staff ReporterPublished November 28, 2020
ISLAMABAD: Students, members of civil society and political workers on Friday called for restoration of student unions in educational institutions of the country.
Scores of protesters gathered outside National Press Club and also demanded an increase in the education budget and immediate end to increase in tuition fees.
The protesters also called for access to internet for students from Balochistan, former Fata, Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan and the formation of sexual harassment committees to investigate cases of harassment by college and university staff and teachers.
"We demand immediate restoration of student unions to provide a platform to students to register their voice," said Tariq Ghouri, a protester.
In a joint statement, Women Democratic Front (WDF) President Ismat Shahjahan and General Secretary Alia Bakhshal, who were among the organisers of the protest, said parliamentary political parties remain uninterested in serving young people and addressing their problems.
"They [political parties] are only interested in the youth insofar as they can help those in power further their imperialist, capitalist and patriarchal interests. They also want the youth to remain depoliticised so that they cannot effectively organise for their rights," the statement said.
"Following the passage of the 18th Amendment, provinces are in a position to restore student unions," said Ismat Shahjahan.
"We demand that they exercise this right immediately. Only then will we see the emergence of any meaningful democratic reform in the country," she said.
Alia Bakhshal demanded that the Pakistan Democratic Movement includes restoration of student unions in its charter.
"It is time Pakistan allows young people the chance to play a constructive and meaningful role in building their own and the country's future," she said.
"Any democratic movement that isn't serious about addressing the rights of students is not serious about the country's future or about democracy."
WDF Secretary Information Tooba Syed said as a socialist and feminist organisation WDF endorses the demands of the student union restoration march and is committed to working alongside student groups and organisations in this fight.
"The WDF salutes the efforts of student groups who have managed to successfully organise in these difficult times. We invite all progressive forces to stand shoulder to shoulder with them in their struggle for rights and a brighter future," she said.
Students have been demanding restoration of unions since long but the issue remains unresolved.
In 2017, the Senate adopted a resolution calling for restoration of student unions. The ban was imposed on student unions during the regime of Gen Zia.

Willie Nelson's Selling CBD Coffee | Willie's Remedy
Willie Nelson has been part of "Outlaw Country" music for close to 50 years now and that term describes the Texas music scene he was in, but after several arrests for pot possession, that "outlaw" part takes on a new meaning. And now the iconic singer has announced that he's going to be selling a new cannabidiol-infused coffee, "Willie's Remedy."
The whole-bean coffee will contain five-milligrams of CBD sourced from "organically grown, American hemp" in each eight-ounce cup of coffee. It hits the market in September and will be sold by GCH Inc., a cannabis company Nelson founded that's famous for "Willie's Reserve," his branded strain of marijuana and THC edibles. But the CBD coffee won't contain THC, the psychoactive compound in pot that gives you the high.
"It's two of my favorites, together in the perfect combination," Willie says in a press release. "Like coffee, cannabis is a plant that works for me."

TORONTO -- Voters in northern Nova Scotia have elected a Liberal candidate who had made a series of homophobic and sexist social media comments in the past.
Jaime Battiste captured the Nova Scotia riding of Sydney-Victoria with 31 per cent of the vote, compared to Conservative candidate Eddie Orrell's 27.6 per cent.
Battiste was criticized in early October aftersome of his social media posts from 2012 emerged.
"Why do I assume every skinny aboriginal girl is on crystal meth or pills? #toomuchaptn." he tweeted, according to the Toronto Sun.
Battiste also wrote: "Cleaning, Folding, Cooking, Feeling like an Epic Fail that i havent found a woman who can stand me long enough to do this for me. #FML" and joked about watching men's tennis, suggesting it sounds "exactly like gay porn…I'm told."
Battiste apologized for the tweets. A spokesperson for the Liberal Party saidthat he would not be removed from the ballot as he had apologized publicly.
With the win, Battiste, a member of Potlotek First Nation and a graduate of Dalhousie University's law school, became the first Indigenous person from Nova Scotia to be elected to Parliament.
"I don't think many people can appreciate some of the things that go on when you're living on a reserve," he told CTV News before being elected.
"For all of those people out there saying that they're not going to be able to lead because of who they are or their background or their race or their religion, I'm telling people: 'You've got to do your best to get your name out there.'"
Anne McLellan, a former Liberal cabinet minister who sat on CTV News' election panel, called Battiste's past online comments "unacceptable," but noted he's since apologized and will become a role model for the people his community.
"Yes, he made some mistakes, but he took responsibility for them and if he wins tonight it's going to be a remarkable story of redemption," she saidbefore results from his riding came in.

When Nordic Logistics Association (NLA) was created in 2012 and needed a website it did not take long to decide on using Incredibly Useful Company. I was familiar with Craig's previous work and his capacity to get things moving. I felt comfortable working with Craig and the process proved me right. When we needed an update – layout and technically – in 2017 it was the obvious choice to continue to work with Craig based on our relationship the last 5 years.
Craig delivers a high quality service, on time and with clear indications on what is possible and not, and what is preferable and not. He deals effortlessly with both the public side of the site as well as all the technical details behind. And he responds quickly when I have questions, remarks and problems at competitive rates.
"Good coding discipline and a good understanding of my needs meant that when the web site was delivered, it was delivered on time, with the expected functionality and minimal errors.
A quality piece of work at a very affordable price and in my experience one of the least painful developments I have undertaken."

"Thank you for your excellent service in building our web sites over the last three years.
More than one third of our turnover now comes from on line transactions. The business has grown by 500% since you created our first live booking web site. Our customers tell us that it is the ease of use of our web site that keeps them coming back to buy holidays from us again and again.
The first site was delivered on time and on budget. It revolutionised our business by cutting staff time and increasing customer transactions in one go. Your after sales service for modifications and additions has been prompt and good value for money.
I am particularly pleased by the way you have linked three disparate databases on three continents and made them all easily accessibly by web for our customers. This has also helped to streamline internal dealings between our offices in UK, Australia and USA.
I look forward to the completion of our third project together, www.superholidayrentals.com in your usual speedy efficient and helpful manner."
"Thanks for all the work you have done for us during our association. You helped us enormously, and set DAE in motion to continue the rapid development of our systems and ecommerce practices with the work you performed for us. Hopefully we will reach our full potential in the Timeshare industry and the dreams we all share for our company (DAE). Thanks also for being so gracious and understanding in accepting our decision to bring back the software development work into our own country and time zone. It is really is the best thing for DAE. I am mindful and appreciate that this decision may seem unfair on Incredibly Useful given the great job you did for us, however I also have no doubt your talents will be fully utilized and employed by many other clients that will take our place in the future, and they will receive great value, as we did, from their association with you."
