WASHINGTON – House Democrats issued a subpoena to the White House Friday evening for documents relating to the president's contact with Ukraine — a so-far unprecedented move that is sure to escalate the rapidly moving impeachment inquiry.
The House Oversight, Foreign Affairs and Intelligence committees, notified the White House Friday evening in a letter to President Donald Trump's acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney.
The subpoena follows two letters in September where members of Congress demanded information about Trump's efforts to pressure the Ukrainian president to dig up dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden, one of the leading Democratic candidates in the 2020 election. In those letters, Democrats asked for all records surrounding Trump's call with the Ukrainian president and documents about the delay of military aid for the country.
The subpoena demands documents by Oct. 18.

The chairmen of the House committees leading the investigation wrote in a letter to Mulvaney that they regretted that Trump "has put us — and the nation — in this position, but his actions have left us with no choice but to issue this subpoena."
"The White House has refused to engage with — or even respond to — multiple requests for documents from our Committees on a voluntary basis," the chairman said in a statement. "After nearly a month of stonewalling, it appears clear that the President has chosen the path of defiance, obstruction, and cover-up."
The letter to Mulvaney also includes a warning should the White House not comply with the request: "Your failure or refusal to comply with the subpoena, including at the direction or behest of the President or others at the White House, shall constitute evidence of obstruction of the House's impeachment inquiry and may be used as an adverse inference against you and the President."
The White House has so far indicated that it will not cooperate with document requests unless and until the full House votes to authorize the impeachment inquiry, a move that Democratic leaders argue is not needed to launch an impeachment inquiry.
Democrats had threatened earlier this week that a subpoena may be issued after not receiving any response.
Earlier this week, White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham slammed the threat as a waste of time.
"This is nothing but more document requests, wasted time, and taxpayer dollars that will ultimately show the President did nothing wrong," she said. "The Dems can continue with their kangaroo court, the President will continue to work on behalf of this country."
The subpoena follows yet another intense day of developments in the House's impeachment inquiry.

During the July 25, 2019, call with Trump, Zelensky said "We are ready to continue to cooperate for the next steps specifically we are almost ready to buy more Javelins from the United States for defense purposes." According to the whistleblower complaint, "on July 18, an Office of Management and Budget (OMB) official informed Departments and Agencies that the President 'earlier that month' had issued instructions to suspend all U.S. security assistance to Ukraine."

I remember when the professor of my Bible class diagrammed for us a visual representation of the Last Supper. It was very different from the familiar "Last Supper" by Leonardo da Vinci that most of us have seen.
In my recent trip to Israel, our group stopped by an olive tree wood shop in Bethlehem to check out souvenirs. The shop had hundreds of carved items including crosses, saints, angels, nativity scenes and so on. But, among all the items was one that caught my eye! When my professor and I both saw it we were like two little kids who had just found the best toy in the store.
In this representation of the Last Supper, Jesus and His disciples sit at an "n" shaped table. The first seat on the lower left is the disciple, John. John is reclining back, looking at Jesus who is seated next to him in the second spot on the left, also know as the place/seat of honor. On the other side of Jesus is Judas. Peter would probably be the last disciple across the table on the right.
In that time period, tables for eating were not high off the ground like they are today, they were low to the ground. People didn't use chairs but rather they reclined to eat. Leaning on their left arm for support, their legs were to the back and they used the right hand to eat. To talk to the person next to you, one would lean back onto the others chest. For example, John would lean back onto Jesus' chest to speak to him. Jesus would lean back onto Judas to speak with him. Interesting to think about the intimacy in the set up and then remember that Judas would stab Jesus in the back with betrayal just a short while after this supper.


The EU Water Framework Directive has been described as a 'sustainability' directive as it broadens the regulation of water resources from a focus on quality standards to an integrated approach that considers how water is affected by, and affects, land use and development. The WFD could fundamentally alter the face of water management in Europe by causing us to examine how the costs and benefits of achieving and maintaining `good ecological status? for all waters are distributed between various stakeholders. However, responsible authorities are struggling to design effective, efficient and equitable processes for implementing the Directive.
The British land use planning system is similarly in transition, driven by European spatial development objectives, greater concern for sustainability and civic engagement, and ongoing efforts to modernize the public sector. In Scotland the planning system is also caught up in the evolving local governance arrangements resulting from devolution.
The land use planning system will undoubtedly have a key role in the development and implementation of Scotland's river basin management plans (RBMPs), as required by the WFD. However, there is confusion over how these two evolving regimes will interact in practice. The purpose of this project is to analyse and inform the development of this relationship, in order to further our understanding of how institutional structures and networks operate with regard to integrated catchment (and rural land) management.
This is an ACES funded PHD being undertaken by Heather Smith and supervised in conjunction with Alister Scott at University of Aberdeen.
This project ended in 2011.

Angela Valentine
ARTIST, WRITER, WORLD TRAVELLER & MOTHER
Meet Angela Valentine
After leaving school at age 16, August 1952, Angela Valentine worked as an agricultural apprentice. After three years, she passed her test and entered the Agricultural College in Regensburg.
After graduating Angela spent three years in Finland, England and Ireland. When she returned, she went to Business college and ended up working for the German Railways in Basel. She later went on to London to work for the German airline, Lufthansa for ten years.
She married a New Zealander and had two children, Sarah and Peter. Once Angela's children had grown up and left home, she started producing small wooden furniture. Later, she worked and managed an art and craft shop.
Angela's true passion is writing and painting and she continues to do that most days. The Dark Edge of the Rainbow is her debut novel.
"Art is life and life is something beautiful"
The Dark Edge of the Rainbow, is a moving and at times, heart breaking account of an ordinary family, living through World War Two.
From the eerie moment they find out they are at war to the telegrams they receive and their constant change of home.
Three children under ten and one brave mother are tested to the brink, but through all this, are constantly there for each other as they learn how to survive and find joy in the strangest places.
You will be glad you picked this book up.
The rain had stopped and grey clouds were racing across a blue sky, chased by brilliant sunshine, sleet and snow. It was cold outside, Mother had put on her warm coat and boots. She had to go to feed the rabbits in our garden, and left me in charge of my two little sisters.
I was standing by the window, resting my chin on the windowsill looking out, feeling very bored. The weather wasn't nice enough to be outside. I had lifted the lace curtain over my head to get a better view of the clouds as they hurried across the sky. The strong wind changed their shape constantly. I turned round and through the patterns of the curtains I watched Bine and Tissi.
Before Mother left, she had put Tissi on the pot. She was a nervous baby and soiled her nappies as soon as she heard the siren or the doorbell. A constant string of nappies hung to dry in the bathroom, and to save even more nappies, Tissi spent a lot of time on the pot, surrounded by her toys with Bine or myself playing with her. She was wrapped in a lovely pink blanket, which used to be my favourite, then Bine's and now Tissi's. It had fairy tale characters woven into it, like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Dornröschen and the Froschkönig.
A strange noise made me look out of the window again. Suddenly, small and very dark grey clouds appeared. They just popped out of nowhere and there they were. Lots of them. I called Bine over and we watched together, fascinated. Each little cloud was accompanied with an ak sound. Ak-ak-ak. We tried to count them, but as soon as they appeared, the wind blew them away again. The sound was muffled through the double windows.
Another strange noise took our attention. Over the roofs of the apartment houses opposite, planes appeared, row upon row. A droning sound filled the air. Slowly, the sky darkened with these menacing planes, and just as we were trying to work out what they were, I heard the siren. A prickling went down my back. Tissi started crying, I looked at her. Mother hadn't gone all that long ago. She would turn back and come home, surely.
How many raids had we survived? I looked back through the window. The first planes had disappeared over our roof and they were still advancing over the roofs opposite. How many were there? A hundred? At least a hundred. There were no gaps in the sky. Suddenly, one changed into a fiery ball and crashed into many pieces, behind the blocks opposite. Laboriously, the others continued to cross the sky over our street.
The Doorbell rang. Bine rushed to the door, yelling: "Mutti, Mutti", but it was Frau Meier, Roland's mother.
"Why aren't you downstairs? Where is your mother?" Not waiting for an answer, she picked up Tissi, potty and all. Bine picked up some toys. I picked up the first aid case, which was always ready by the door and we went down into the cellar. As I came out of the back door, before turning into the basement shelter, I could see, that the blanket of planes, had disappeared over the horizon of the bombed and burnt out apartment blocks at the back and were still coming on, overhead. The air was filled with snarling engine noises. Hypnotised, I watched.
Frau Meier shouted: "Come quickly, don't stand there. You'll get killed." I turned and ran down the stairs into the basement shelter. Where were so many planes headed? What was the target? Where was Mother? I listened to every little noise. Frau Meier asked again where Mother was, and I said: "She has gone to feed the Angora's. Will she be alright?" Frau Meier nodded her head.
"She has gone into somebody else's shelter. Anywhere between here and the Colony." (We called all the gardens the Colony). Frau Pfeiffer, from the second f loor, put new nappies on Tissi. She was still fretting, I went over and put my arm around her. Bine's eyes were dark and huge. She was watching everybody and although she said nothing I could read her question. Where was Mother? I took Bine's hand, there was safety and reassurance in just sticking together. The din outside had become deafening. There was the smell of cement and dust trickling from the ceiling. We had all landed on the floor involuntarily. The three of us huddled together, Frau Meier close with Roland. The other members of the apartments above, also huddled on benches along the wall, barely visible in the dingy light.
Suddenly, it was very still outside. Nothing could be heard and no one uttered a word. Then the door was f lung open and Mother rushed in. She was out of breath, bleeding slightly on her forehead, her clothes were torn, and she was very dirty.
She put out her arms and Bine and I f lew into them: "Where were you?"
She put her hand up to the mass of plaited hair, which was hanging down her back, pins sticking out here and there. She tried hard to pin it up again.
"I ducked from doorway to doorway, but I got hit by small pieces of shrapnel. It looks as though they are attacking Tempelhof again. But where they are going with all those planes, goodness knows." The neighbours asked a lot more questions. Frau Meier was cross with Mother, because she came back in that hellish inferno.
"You know we will always look after the children, we would have been quicker had we known you were not here."
"I didn't think there would be a raid so soon again and I simply had to come back for the children. The rabbits have to go. I cannot leave the children again."
We loved the rabbits, their soft, warm fur and strawberry red eyes. Their twitching pink noses when they ate. Bine's eyes filled with silent tears, and my heart sank. "It is much better they go, Kinderchen, they are not safe in the garden here in the city. We take them to Silesia."
Mother went over to the bunkbeds and fetched the Grimms Fairy Tales book. Roland came too, and we all settled down to listen, including the adults. Mother read the story of someone who went forth to learn how it feels to make his flesh creep. The chap in the story was fearless. His bravery knew no bounds, and his adventures were horrific, and still he had not learned what fear was. Nothing made his flesh creep. Eventually, he met a miller who hired him as an apprentice. While they were all sitting down for the evening meal, he told the family of his quest, and how he had wandered through the world and still had not yet learned what fear was. That night, the miller's daughter went out and filled a bucket from the cold stream with water. She had also inadvertently caught some tiny fishes in her bucket. She poured the bucket over the sleeping lad, who woke up shuddering and said: "Why, now I know what it feels like."
We thought this story was a little strange, but also funny, and asked for it often.
The book of 'Grimms Fairy Tales' was part of the first aid kit and always came with us into the cellar and made the time we spent there more cosy. It made us forget what was going on outside. Half way through the next story, the siren announced the end of the raid. We went straight upstairs and Mother started to cook lunch. We were so hungry. We all sat in the kitchen quietly, watching her.
"Minka, go and lay the table, Bine can help." she said, but Bine had a very special knack of suddenly and quietly disappearing.
This meal was only potato soup with lots of parsley in it. We added a lot of Maggi, which was always on the table. We added it to everything. Normally, lunch would have been a vegetable stew with any amount of vegetable from the garden plus potatoes, and for the evening meal, two slices of bread with either cheese, or jam, or Kunsthonig which was the best thing we could buy. It was artificial honey and came in blocks and was simply delicious.
In the mornings, we were bribed with Kunsthonig to have one spoon of cod liver oil. I retched every time I swallowed that. We had just settled down to our meal when the bell rang. Mother opened the door and we could hear voices. After what seemed, to us children, a long time, Mother came back, very upset.
The colony had been hit by several bombs. Frau Sauer had been buried under her garden house, Emil was dead too. He had been on his way to Frau Sauer, when he was killed. They were our next door neighbours in the colony. Omi Pless, an old lady whom we had befriended and called Granny Pless, had been hit and wounded. She couldn't get to the shelter in time. I could not imagine Emil and Frau Sauer dead. They had been there on the day when Mother first wheeled me into our garden in the ancient pram.

Life's Mysterious Paths
After my first book 'The Dark Edge of the Rainbow' which describes the last War as it was experienced by my family, I was asked to write about the rest of my life, because in conversations people always said, "You should write a book about this."
It was an extraordinary life which happened quite by accident, Guardian Angel guidance, naivety and life teaching me the hard way. My children were my life savers and to them I dedicate this book.
It was a fair life, and looking back I wouldn't miss a thing, although sometimes I was ready to get off this planet. But that, I suppose is life.
Meanwhile my children have decided to live at the other end of the world in New Zealand and they have made a life for themselves which would not have been possible in Europe. I miss them terribly, but at the same time I am happy that they have made a great success of their lives, have wonderful partners and a child each.
In the end, life has been good to me.
I also do pastel work, watercolours and acrylic. My husband was a Dartmoor Guide and we do a lot of walking in Devon, the Lakes, Cornwall and Northumbria. My inspiration comes from our walks.

Golden Pans awarded to Wicks, Donaldson and Archer

Pan Macmillan authors Joe Wicks, Jeffrey Archer, Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler were last night awarded the Golden Pan, one of the industry's very first author awards, recognising sales in excess of one million copies over a book's lifetime.
The authors collected their gongs, a gold-plated statuette of the Greek god Pan, at a ceremony hosted by Foyles Charing Cross on Tuesday night (5th September) in the company of Pan Macmillan staff past and present and members of the press. Golden Pans were also dealt to Emma Donoghue and Ken Follett, who were unable to attend the ceremony itself, for sales of The Room and Pillars of the Earth.
Guests at the event included Gordon Young, who joined Pan in 1946 and became its export sales manager, and Knopf editor-in-chief Sonny Mehta, as well as members of staff from 1970s and 80s including Suzanne Baboneau, Kyle Cathie, Lewis Essen, Jacqui Graham, Clare Harington, Susan Haskins Jonathan Main, Marilyn Warnick and Simon Wood. Tim Kitchen was also in attendence; while he never worked for Pan, he started a website devoted to Pan history in 1991 and, still blogging on it, by now owns 25,000 Pan titles.
Wicks, Donaldson and Scheffler - who earlier this year received Platinum Bestseller Awards at the Specsavers Bestseller Awards - were honoured for platinum sales records of Lean in 15 (Bluebird) and The Gruffalo (Macmillan Children's Books), respectively. Archer received the accolade for Only Time Will Tell (Pan) in The Clifton Chronicles.
Wicks took the opportunity to thank his Bluebird publisher Carole Tonkinson and said: "I never imagined in a million years I'd sell a million copies of this book".
Donaldson, whose first job was in publishing, called it "a special moment" for her. Scheffler meanwhile added of the Golden Pan: "I see him as a symbol against all the madness around us ... at least book sales are growing".
Anthony Forbes Watson congratulates Axel Scheffler and Julia Donaldson
The award returns after at least decade's absence as part of a range of events and promotions running throughout the autumn in honour of 70 years of publishing the Pan paperback, another key part of which is the reissue of 20 "classic" Pan paperbacks sporting new technicolour designs on Thursday (7th September).
The first Golden Pans were awarded in 1964 to Alan Sillitoe, Paul Brickhill, Grace Metalious (posthumously), and seven times over to Ian Fleming. Other notable recipients include Otto Frank, who also received a Golden Pan award on behalf of Anne Frank in 1971 after sales of her diary topped one million copies.
M.d. Anthony Forbes Watson praised Pan Macmillan's "extraordinary" authors and said the company was "on a roll" with its "strongest" list.
"Pan has always been a much-loved company and later imprint, and it pioneered bestseller driven mass-appeal publishing form the start," he said, continuing: "Today Pan is on a roll and can claim to have its strongest list since the disbanding of the consortium 30 years ago, with a glittering stable of bestselling authors and a continuing commitment to mass entertainment inspired 70 years ago ... Our Golden Pan has taken a few years off, so with his return this evening we are taking the opportunity to catch up a bit."
Archer, whose novel Kane and Abel last month got its 100th reprint, closed his acceptance speech for the award (pictured below) by contrasting Elizabeth Barrett Browning's assertion "Great Pan is dead" with his own view that, to the contrary, 70 years on Pan is truly "alive and flourishing".

In South Dakota, there are several business loops of Interstate 90. The 2004 South Dakota Offical Highway Map only shows a business loop at Mitchell.
AARoads.com, reports business loops at Spearfish, from M.P. 10 to M.P. 14. Sturgis, from M.P. 30 to M.P. 32. At Rapid City, it runs along SD St Rt 79 and Truck BY-PASS U.S. Rt. 16 from M.P. 51 to M.P. 60. There is a report of a loop at Wall. A short loop is reported at Murdo from M.P. 191 to M.P. 192. Again one is reported at Vivian, from M.P. 212 to M.P. 214. At Chamberlain, a loop is said to cross the Missouri River. Another short loop runs along SD St Rt 45 at Kimball. One more loop is reported at Plankton, between M.P. 310 and M.P. 312. The loop at Mitchell is the only one on the state map.
The Unoffical South Dakota Highway Page, also reports business loop at each of the above sites, with the exception of the loop at Spearfish.
Like Interstate 29, at Sioux Falls, I-90 has a downtown spur. This spur is not labeled to well south of Benson Road. It runs along South Dakota State Route 115, on Cliff Avenue, Benson Road, and Minnesota Avenue.
Below the loops and spurs that RMS&W have confirmed.

Q: R Roxygen2 documentation without building a package I am currently programming within an R project. Right now there is no need for building a whole package, but I would like to use roxygen to create documentation of several functions nonetheless.
Whenever I am looking for "object documentation" or "roxygen", the context is immediately package development (e.g. https://r-pkgs.org/man.html).
Is it possible to document the functions using roxygen without building a package?
Thanks a lot!

OBJECTIVE: MAPK kinase 1 (MEK1), also known as MAP2K1, plays a role in activating extra-cellular signal-regulated protein kinase/mitogen-activated protein kinase (ERK/MAPK) signaling pathway to regulate cell proliferation and apoptosis. The abnormal expression of MAP2K1 is associated with leukemia. Bioinformatics analysis showed the targeted relationship between microRNA-181a (miR-181a) and the 3'-UTR of MAP2K1. This study aimed to investigate the role of miR-181a in regulating MAP2K1 expression, the effects on leukemic cell proliferation, apoptosis, and adriamycin (ADM) resistance.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Dual luciferase reporter gene assay was applied to confirm the targeted relationship between miR-181a and MAP2K1. ADM resistant cell line HL-60/ADM was established. MiR-181a and MAP2K1 expressions were detected. HL-60/ADM cells were cultured in vitro and divided into two groups, including microRNA-Normal control (miR-NC) group and miR-181a mimic group. MAP2K1, phosphorylated MAP2K1 (p-MAP2K1), and phosphorylated ERK (p-ERK) protein expressions were tested. Cell apoptosis was assessed with flow cytometry. Cell proliferation was determined using EdU staining.
RESULTS: There is a targeted regulatory relationship between miR-181a and MAP2K1 mRNA. miR-181a expression was significantly lower, while MAP2K1 mRNA and protein expressions were markedly higher in HL-60/ADM cells than HL-60 cells (p<0.05). Transfection of miR-181a mimic markedly reduced expressions of MAP2K1, p-MAP2K1, and p-ERK in HL-60/ADM cells, enhanced cell apoptosis, and weakened cell proliferation compared to miR-NC (p<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: MiR-181a reduction and MAP2K1 elevation were related to ADM resistance in leukemia cells. Up-regulation of miR-181a expression inhibited leukemia cell proliferation, induced apoptosis, and reduced ADM resistance via targeting MAP2K1 expression and ERK/MAPK signaling pathway.

Changing Stories: Ovid's Metamorphoses on canvas, 39 Scylla and Minos, and the Minotaur
George Frederic Watts (1817–1904), The Minotaur (1885), oil on canvas, 118.1 x 94.5 cm, The Tate Gallery (Presented by the artist 1897), London. © The Tate Gallery and Photographic Rights © Tate (2016), CC-BY-NC-ND 3.0 (Unported), http://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/watts-the-minotaur-n01634
Ovid completed Book 7 of his Metamorphoses with the wonderful but tragic story of Cephalus and Procris, an aside to his thread about Minos, King of Crete, waging war against the Greeks. He opens Book 8 by returning to that war, and to the ill-fated life of Minos.
Cephalus and his party return to Athens, by which time King Minos is already laying waste to Megara, and the city of Alcathous, ruled by King Nisus. The latter has a lock of purple hair on his head, a talisman which ensures the safety of his kingdom.
Nisus' daughter, Scylla, regularly watches the forces of Minos from her royal tower, and has got to know many of the Cretan commanders, including Minos himself. From watching him, she feels that she has fallen in love with him, and has an impulse to go to him to bring the fighting to an end, hoping also to marry him.
That night, she is determined to act. She sneaks into her father's bedroom, and cuts off his lock of purple hair, ending its protection over the kingdom. She then makes her way out of the city, through the Cretan lines, until she meets King Minos. She tells him what she has done, and gives him the lock of hair.
She is shocked that, far from winning Minos' love and hand in marriage, he calls on the gods to curse her, and refuses to let her enter Crete. Nevertheless, Minos conquers the city before setting sail once more in his ships.
Scylla lets loose a long tirade of insults at Minos, and calls on her father Nisus to punish her for her treachery. With a final insulting reference to Minos' wife Pasiphae and her mating with a bull, Scylla announces that she will cling to Minos' ship and follow him over the sea:
And as she spoke, she leaped into the waves,
and followed the receding ships — for strength
from passion came to her. And soon she clung
unwelcome, to the sailing Gnossian ship.
Meanwhile, the Gods had changed her father's form
and now he hovered over the salt deep,
a hawk with tawny wings. So when he saw
his daughter clinging to the hostile ship
he would have torn her with his rending beak; —
he darted towards her through the yielding air.
In terror she let go, but as she fell
the light air held her from the ocean spray;
her feather-weight supported by the breeze;
she spread her wings, and changed into a bird.
They called her "Ciris" when she cut the wind,
and "Ciris" — cut-the-lock — remains her name.
Nisus is thus transformed into an osprey, which pursues Scylla, who is transformed into a seabird, probably a shearwater.
Ovid then gives a short summary of the story of Minos and the Minotaur of Crete. He tells of Minos' return, and his sacrifice of a hundred bulls to Jupiter. But he could not escape the shame of his wife Pasiphae's bestial adultery with a bull, which had resulted in the birth of a beast with the head of a bull and the body of a man – the Minotaur.
Minos had the architect and artificer Daedalus design and build a maze, within which the Minotaur was confined. Every nine years, the monster was fed on Athenian victims, but at the third such feeding, Minos' daughter Ariadne had helped Theseus kill the Minotaur. Theseus then abducted Ariadne and took her to the island of Naxos, where he abandoned her.
Ariadne met Bacchus, who comforted and married her. Theseus took Ariadne's wedding diadem and set it in the heavens as the constellation Corona Borealis.
The Paintings
Although once again a visual story told vividly by Ovid, Scylla's betrayal of Nisus and her failed attempt to run away with Minos, appears never to have been depicted in a painting of significance (before the twentieth century). Even the well-known story of Pasiphae and the Minotaur has been told in remarkably few paintings, although the issues of bestiality probably encouraged artists to keep well clear.
Gustave Moreau (1826–1898), Pasiphaé (1880s), oil on canvas, 195 x 91 cm, Musée National Gustave-Moreau, Paris. Wikimedia Commons.
Gustave Moreau appears to have started to paint Pasiphaé (1880s) but then to have abandoned it.
Maître des Cassoni Campana (dates not known), The Legend of Crete (detail) (1500-25), oil on panel, dimensions not known, Musée du Petit Palais, Avignon, France. Wikimedia Commons.
This detail of a wonderful painted cassone The Legend of Crete from around 1500-25 shows what has become a popular image of the labyrinth constructed by Daedalus. At its centre, Theseus has just decapitated the Minotaur, while Ariadne waits, holding the thread which enables him to retrace his steps to the exit.
George Frederic Watts was apparently driven to paint The Minotaur (1885) as a response to a series of articles in the press revealing the industry of child prostitution in late Victorian Britain; those articles referred to the myth of the Minotaur, so early one morning he painted this image of human bestiality and lust. His Minotaur has crushed a small bird in its left hand, and gazes out to sea, awaiting the next shipment of young men and virgin women from Greece.
Gustave Moreau (1826–1898), Athenians Being Delivered to the Minotaur (1855), oil, dimensions not known, Musée de Brou, Bourg-en-Bresse, France. Wikimedia Commons.
Much earlier in his career, Gustave Moreau had painted this scene of Athenians Being Delivered to the Minotaur (1855). Wearing laurel wreaths to mark their distinction and sacrifice, the young men and women hold back while Theseus crouches, waiting to do battle with the beast, seen at the right.
Henry Fuseli (1741–1825), Ariadne Watching the Struggle of Theseus with the Minotaur (1815-20), brown wash, oil, white gouache, white chalk, gum and graphite on moderately thick, moderately textured, beige wove paper, 61.6 x 50.2 cm, Yale Center for British Art, New Haven, CT. Wikimedia Commons.
Henry Fuseli captured some of the dynamics of the situation, in his spirited mixed-media sketch of Ariadne Watching the Struggle of Theseus with the Minotaur (1815-20). Theseus appears almost skeletal as he tries to bring his dagger down to administer the fatal blow, and Ariadne looks like a wraith or spirit.
Charles-Édouard Chaise (1759-1798), Theseus, Victor over the Minotaur (c 1791), oil on canvas, dimensions not known, Musée des Beaux-Arts, Strasbourg, France. Image by Rama, via Wikimedia Commons.
Theseus, Victor over the Minotaur (c 1791) is one of only three paintings by Charles-Édouard Chaise known to survive. With its crisp neo-classical style, it shows Theseus standing in triumph over the lifeless corpse of the Minotaur. He is almost being mobbed by the young Athenian women whose lives he has spared. At the left, his thread rests on a wall by an urn, which suggests that the young woman by it may be Ariadne; she is being helped by a young man.
From so few paintings, Ovid's story, and the well-known legend of the Minotaur, is told well. In its historical and social context, Watts' painting stands out as an important work even among the Tate's many great paintings.
The English translation of Ovid above is taken from Ovid. Metamorphoses. Tr. Brookes More. Boston. Cornhill Publishing Co. 1922, at Perseus. I am very grateful to Perseus at Tufts for this.

Many thanks! I can see that as I needed to ask this, trying to set this up will be way above skill level. Would I be correct in saying all updates would need to be done in raw HTML and then uploaded? do you have any pointers of a good place to read up on the best way to manage a site with this kind of set up?
Now, the HTML template will require you to learn HTML and CSS, once you start learning how to use the template you would basically be on the way to becoming a developer.
I have opened a new website on WordPress and I am using Aspire Pro Theme, but there is a problem I am facing. The problem is the navigation bar and sidebar are not navigating. I have also applied CSS to correct it, but no change.

THE FLEXIBLE HELIX By Francesca Rebecchi
Thought up and directed once again by Ezio Cuoghi, "The Flexible Helix" was a fundamental stage in the aesthetic research into the relationship between Art and Science, which here in particular deals with the interaction of artistic languages with those of biochemistry and molecular chemistry. Indeed, the fascinating theme dealt with actually concerns DNA, or to be more precise, molecular biology and, once again, it is science which inspires the artistic metaphors of this second intermedial theatrical event which sees the use of the artistic potential of technical languages together with that of the expressive capacity of artistic means brought into special prominence thanks to video technology. The challenge is to bring to light the areas where two apparently different worlds have a point of contact and to see whether there is communicative compatibility between the artistic and scientific fields in an attempt to arrive at a unitary cultural message using different means.
In this attempt Cuoghi was backed up by an operative team which we had in part had the opportunity to appreciate in his previous work and which is, in practice, a permanent group involved in research. The scientific course of the performance, able to grasp the salient aspects of the subject and at the same time offer stimulus to the artistic side of things, was guided by professor Roberto Gambari, of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of the University of Ferrara, assisted by professor Franco Mezzetti, of the Physics Department (who had already collaborated in L'Orizzonte degli Eventi) and by Professor Giorgio Celli, while on the artistic side we find Carlo Ansaloni as a collaborator once again, head of the Video Art Centre in Ferrara at the time, the ideal setting for aesthetic and scientific imagination which was to host one of Cuoghi's productions for the second time.
The Museum of Natural History was also involved, holding an exhibition of the materials used during the realization of the event (for a didactic approach to the subject), as was the "Frescobaldi" Consevatory of Music. The division of this work into frames follows a route which from the mythical big bang and the start of life on earth leads to the hypothesis of possible worlds according to manipulation of the genotype, moving therefore from macro to micro, namely from evolutionistic genetics, represented in a metaphor in the form of a dance in which a dancer, whose face and hands haven't yet reached the final evolutive state, is seen hanging upside down and wrapped up like a cocoon, to molecular genetics, to DNA.
DNA as chief code and depository of vital processes with its well-known structure, a double helix, is exalted by the non-stop images on the monitor (synthesis of nucleotide sequencing of DNA analysed, replication of DNA etc.), by the soprano's song and exceptionally well by the "Danza dei Funi"(Dance of the Ropes), a particular reference to its peculiar shape. We are reminded just how far genetics could go by a Human Guinea-Pig who, from a cage, controlled by biomedical instruments, reads out in a harsh voice a number of scientific passages, such as the one entitled "Progetto Genoma Umano" Human Genome Project- (projected in the form of an explanatory diagram), regarding the problem of the sequencing of DNA in the human genome. A problem which finds its solution in the eighth episode ,"Il Genoma Svelato" (The Genome Revealed), in which the singers strike up "The work no longer holds any secrets, The Genome is in sequence, there are chances of reproducing them, multiplying them, cloning them..." and at that point the spectre ofGenic Mutation appears, immediately comforted by Genic Therapy, who puts right the aforesaid genic mutation by altering the genome, but " any operation of genic therapy on human germinal cells is banned at present".
This statement made once again by the Human Guinea-Pig introduces the last possible scenarios concerning likely outcomes : The Ideal World, The Mutant World, The Desertified World. As Lola Bonora wrote at the time about the performance: "L'Elica Flessibile (The Flexible Helix) is a complex work which moves on the brink of intermedial communication at times with valuable lightness and immediately after with extreme concreteness, but always in search of universal themes which have become more problematic and have created more involvement because of the interest and desire to know shown by a large section of the public."

It might not be as well-known as fintech, as glamorous as consumer-level tech, or as buzzwordy as blockchain, but cyber security is undeniably one of the fastest emerging areas of tech globally.According to a report from Cybersecurity Ventures, global cyber security spending is set to exceed $US1 trillion ($1.35 trillion) between 2017 and 2022. Back in 2004, the global cyber security market was worth just $US3.5 billion, and by 2022 is predicted to be worth over $US120 billion.
Closer to home, there has been a slow uptick in the number of venture capital funds getting on board with cybersec investments, and recently the Victorian government pledged $450,000 to back cyber security accelerator CyRise.

Home Health Study: Maple leaf extract could nip skin wrinkles in the bud —...
Study: Maple leaf extract could nip skin wrinkles in the bud — (Details)
James M. Patterson
Maple trees are best known for their maple syrup and lovely fall foliage. But it turns out that the beauty of those leaves could be skin-deep — and that's a good thing. Today, scientists report that an extract from the leaves may prevent wrinkles.
The researchers are presenting their results at the 256th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS). ACS, the world's largest scientific society, is holding the meeting here through Thursday. It features more than 10,000 presentations on a wide range of science topics.
The scientists had previously studied the chemistry and health benefits of sap and syrup obtained from sugar maple and red maple trees. Historical records suggested that other parts of the trees could also be useful, according to Navindra P. Seeram, Ph.D., the project's principal investigator. "Native Americans used leaves from red maple trees in their traditional system of medicine," he notes, "so why should we ignore the leaves?"
Skin elasticity is maintained by proteins such as elastin. Wrinkles form when the enzyme elastase breaks down elastin in the skin as part of the aging process. "We wanted to see whether leaf extracts from red maple trees could block the activity of elastase," says Hang Ma, Ph.D., who is presenting the work at the meeting and is a research associate in Seeram's lab.
The researchers, who are at the University of Rhode Island, zeroed in on phenolic compounds in the leaves known as glucitol-core-containing gallotannins (GCGs) and examined each compound's ability to inhibit elastase activity in a test tube. The scientists also conducted computational studies to examine how the GCGs interact with elastase to block its activity, and how the molecules' structures affect that blocking ability. GCGs containing multiple galloyl groups (a type of phenolic group) were more effective than those with a single galloyl group. But these compounds can do more than interfere with elastase. In prior work, Seeram's group showed that these same GCGs might be able to protect skin from inflammation and lighten dark spots, such as unwanted freckles or age spots.
Seeram and Ma plan to do further testing. "You could imagine that these extracts might tighten up human skin like a plant-based Botox®, though they would be a topical application, not an injected toxin," Seeram says. And the fact that the extracts are derived from trees would be appreciated by consumers who are looking for natural, plant-based ingredients in their skincare products.
The researchers have taken steps to get the extracts into products, having developed a proprietary patent-pending formulation containing GCGs from summer and fall maple leaves and maple sap, which they named MaplifaTM (pronounced "mape-LEAF-uh" to reflect its origin). They have licensed it to botanical extracts supplier Verdure Sciences based in Indiana and are hoping to eventually find a market for the formulation in the cosmetics sector or even in dietary supplements.
If these products come to fruition, the team's findings could benefit the local economy. "Many botanical ingredients traditionally come from China, India and the Mediterranean, but the sugar maple and the red maple only grow in eastern North America," Seeram says. Farmers in the region, who currently only harvest sap from the maple trees, could tap the leaves as a value-added product for an additional source of income. Even better, the process would be sustainable because leaves could be collected during normal pruning or when they fall from the trees in autumn.

Conservation groups celebrate one-year anniversary of Great American Outdoors Act
By: Chase Woodruff - August 4, 2021 1:47 pm
Colorado's White River National Forest was established in 1902. (U.S. Forest Service)
Environmental groups on Wednesday marked the one-year anniversary of a landmark conservation law that's providing millions of dollars in new federal funding for the acquisition and maintenance of public lands and recreation facilities in Colorado.
The Great American Outdoors Act, which was passed by bipartisan majorities in Congress in 2020, allocated $9.5 billion to address a maintenance backlog in the national parks system and fully funded the Land and Water Conservation Fund for the first time since the program's inception in 1965. The LWCF provides funds to help federal agencies and state and local governments acquire lands for conservation.
"One year after being signed into law, the Great American Outdoors Act has been a sweeping victory for Colorado's lands, wildlife and communities," Rex Wilmouth, senior program director for Environment Colorado, said in a statement. "It has allowed us to protect endangered habitats and secure the public's access to our state's breathtaking natural treasures."
Former Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner, a Republican from Yuma, helped lead the effort to pass the GAOA in the Senate, and the bill became a centerpiece of his unsuccessful 2020 reelection bid. Gardner, however, refused to comment when a last-minute action by the Trump administration sought to impose significant new restrictions on the way LWCF funds could be used. The Biden administration later reversed the decision.
Among the Colorado projects funded by the LWCF in the last year are the $8.5 million acquisition of the Sweetwater Lake area in the White River National Forest; a 1,100-acre addition to the San Luis Valley Conservation Area; and a 280-acre addition to Dinosaur National Monument along the Colorado-Utah border.
"The vital funds provided by the LWCF help connect people to the outdoors and protect the landscapes that make Colorado so spectacular," Fletcher Jacobs, statewide trails program manager for Colorado Parks and Wildlife, said in a statement. "As human populations increase, we have to proactively think about human impact on our natural resources and state lands. This legislation is a positive step to ensure human outdoor recreation is balanced with thoughtful conservation efforts."

After a day at the beach, alone and hungry, I checked my Foursquare app in search for a good burger place. As I've already tried Kiosko (everybody's favourite lately), I opted for the Pim Pam Burger – in the area and with high recommendations. The GPS took me there in no time to enjoy a Pim Pam Burger Complete (bacon and egg included), together with patatas fritas (patatas casera peladas a mano) – meaning French fries manually peeled. 😀 Indeed they are, I watched the guy peeling them while I waited for my order.
As this is a story I write while at the eating place, I will take a break now to eat and get back with details soon.
But let's get back to the fries: de-li-cious!
Too bad I couldn't eat them all. Marius (my b-friend) would have loved them.
Ask them to cook the meat as you like it, if not, it's too dry.


Patrick Wallace (1755-1840) and his wife Nancy Tull (1758-1854) owned property in the Big Bone area of Boone County, as well as, Petersburg. Some descendants claim Wallace and Tull were from Ireland, but early Kentucky military records show a Patrick Wallace serving in Price's Battalion of Kentucky Mounted Volunteers in 1794. According to Kentucky Tax Records, by 1800, a Patrick Wallace is living in Woodford County, Kentucky. Subsequent census records show Patrick Wallace living in Boone County from 1810 to 1840 when he died.
A History of Big Bone Baptist Church states that "General Wallace" sold five acres and donated an additional two acres for the establishment of the church in 1843.1) In his 1840 will, Patrick Wallace left his 200 acres, plus Petersburg lots to his son John, his youngest daughter Mary M. Garrison and a dower for his wife Nancy. Since Patrick was deceased in 1943, presumably General Wallace refers to Patrick's son John.

I haven't posted in five weeks! And I have been gently reminded by my mom and Anna, and my mom said even my dad said something. I really don't have an excuse except I have been busy--but who's not?! I am actually reading real books these days--maybe I'll write about them and what I'm learning at some point :) But, going back a few weeks we had the great Snowpocalypse.
The weather reports were all warning us, so I suggested that Bill borrow his parents snow blower since his dad was in Arizona at the time and his mom would be using it. He said he would, but it was in his tone of voice that I know he is blowing me off. So the night the storm started, I went out and started to shovel. We already had several inches and it was supposed to continue through the night. I wasn't a happy camper. When Bill came out to help, I'd been out an hour already. I strongly suggested he get the snow blower. He whined something about having to take seats out of the van to get it in. I even more strongly suggested he get it. So he did. He only had to fold down one seat. The next morning we woke up to this.
He was supremely grateful to have the snowblower. While looking at this, all I wanted to say was, "The pass is open, the pass is open!" I'll give you a quarter if you know what movie that's from!
Is it from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers?
7 Brides for 7 Brothers!!!! I love that movie!
Happy Monday to us!!!! She's back!;0) Wow! I think you need our snowblower more than us. That's quite the pile of snow. Whew! Glad that's over. C'mon spring! I'm glad you posted again....I've missed "seeing" snippets of what's going on in your life.
7 Brides for 7 Brothers, one of my favorites!Love MOM PS We love our men when they listen to us!
Do I lose my man card if I say it was Seven Brides for Seven Brothers? Even I knew that.
next movie to watch in the Benson's basement! 7 Brides for 7 Brothers :) YES YES YES!!!

Anglophone crisis: North-West regions impose curfews to prevent armed groups' planned protests
Paru le jeudi, 30 septembre 2021 13:30
To prevent the protests scheduled for October 1, the divisional officer of Manyu in the Northwest, issued several restrictive measures effective from September 30 to October 2. During that period, motorbikes, civilians' cars, and inter-city buses are prohibited from movement between 6 pm to 6 am.
Pubs and similar places are also compelled to close during those hours. Also, the administrative authority has prohibited any protest on October 1.
"The measures taken to ensure the respect of public order will be lifted on Monday, October 4 at 6 am," he adds.
A curfew has also been imposed in Donga Mantung where the divisional officer has banned protects from October 28 till further notice.
These various measures are issued following the separatists' announcement of demonstrations scheduled for October 1, 2021, to celebrate the independence day of "Ambazonia," their imaginary anglophone republic.
Like Lucas Ayaba Cho, head of the Ambazonia Liberation War, several other separatist leaders have called for marches in the Northwest and Southwest regions to mark October 1. Similar calls were made in the past and like is the case now, administrative authorities and security forces took measures to prevent the celebration.

Met Police officer pleads guilty to 49 offences including 24 rape counts
On Monday, a Metropolitan Police officer pleaded guilty to 49 offences including false imprisonment, coersive control sexual assault and 24 counts of rape on 12 women.
Police and prosecutors say David Carrick exploited his position as a Met officer to lure women, then threaten them into staying silent about his sexual attacks.
Jaswant Narwal, Chief Crown Prosecutor condemned his actions.
"Anyone hearing of the 49 counts David Carrick has pleaded guilty to against 12 victims, would agree the sheer magnitude of his offending is horrifying. This is a man who relentlessly belittled, sexually assaulted and raped women. As time went on, the severity of his offending intensified as he became emboldened, thinking he would get away with it."
Carrick served as a police officer for 17 years despite numerous complaints again him. The police force apologised after 9 incidents involving the officer between 2000-2021 became public.
This incident comes on the back of another infamous police officer Wayne Couzens, who, during lockdown, kidnapped, raped and brutally murdered a young woman called Sarah Everard in London.

Carrick was arrested in 2021 after a woman told detectives he had raped her. She came forward after Wayne Couzens got was sentenced to life in prison, the heaviest sentence possible under UK law.
After initial guilty pleas in December, the Metropolitan Police stopped Carrick's salary and launched an accelerated misconduct process. There is a hearing on Tuesday and he is expected to be dismissed.
The Crown Prosecution Service said the case was "one of the most shocking cases involving a serving officer."
Carrick is due to be sentenced next month.

Torrential rains, flash floods lash Auckland; Elton John concert cancelled
A state of emergency was declared in New Zealand's biggest city Auckland on Friday as torrential rains caused widespread flooding and evacuations, closing the city's airports and forcing organisers to cancel a scheduled concert by Elton John. Auckland's Mayor Wayne Brown declared a state of emergency due to the extent of the "damage, displacement and disruption" cased by the weather and the need for response agencies to draw on more powers. Auckland Emergency Management said in a post on Twitter that northern, northwestern and western parts of the city were affected by significant flooding, with conditions expected to worsen.

A forgotten crime: Remembering the 1943 Marseille roundup
In this edition on Holocaust Memorial Day, we discover a little-known chapter of French history. In 1943, the Germans had occupied the southern French port city of Marseille. With its working class, immigrant and Jewish neighbourhoods around the Old Port, the city had come to represent everything that Hitler and the Nazis hated. The Germans, who saw the Old Port neighbourhoods as a hotbed of the French Resistance, decided to make an example of Marseille.  They rounded up thousands of people, including hundreds of Jews who were later sent to a concentration camp, and destroyed an entire district.Between January 22 and 24, 1943, some 6,000 Marseille residents were arrested. More than 1,500 were later deported, including almost 800 Jews who were sent to the Sobibor extermination camp in Nazi-occupied Poland. From February 1, 1943, a whole neighbourhood near the Old Port was razed to the ground. Hundreds of homes were destroyed and 50 streets wiped from the map.FRANCE 24's Florence Gaillard and Georges Yazbek met with survivors and descendants of victims of the Marseille roundup, who shared their harrowing accounts. Among them is Pascal Luongo, a lawyer who filed a criminal complaint in 2019 for crimes against humanity.English translation: Monte Francis Read more on FRANCE 24 EnglishRead also:Police resistance during WWII: How French officers saved hundreds of Jews in NancyPikovsky family behind Holocaust documentary honoured at French ceremonyVichy France's 'biggest stain'?
