text:
Hans Baldung, dit Grien (en raison de sa prédilection pour la couleur verte, grün en allemand), est un graveur, dessinateur, peintre et vitrailliste de la Renaissance allemande. Il est né en 1484 ou 1485 à Schwäbisch Gmünd (anciennement Gmünd en Allemagne), en Souabe d'où son père était originaire et est mort à Strasbourg en .

Il était considéré comme l'élève le plus doué d'Albrecht Dürer et dont l'art appartient à la fois à la Renaissance allemande et au maniérisme. Tout au long de sa vie, il a développé un style distinctif, plein de couleurs, d'expression et d'imagination. Ses talents étaient variés et il a produit une grande variété d'œuvres, notamment des portraits, des gravures sur bois, des dessins, des tapisseries, des retables et des vitraux, s'appuyant souvent sur des allégories et des motifs mythologiques.

Il est l'un des artistes les plus marquants de la Renaissance allemande.

Biographie

Jeunesse (1484-1500)
Hans nait à Schwäbisch Gmünd, ville libre d'Empire, faisant partie de la région du Wurtemberg oriental dans l'ancienne Souabe, en Allemagne, en 1484 ou 1485. Baldung est le fils de Johann Baldung, juriste de formation universitaire, qui a la charge à partir de 1492, de conseiller juridique de l'évêque de Strasbourg, Albert de Bavière, et de Margarethe Herlin, fille d'Arbogast Herlin. Son oncle, Hieronymus Baldung, est docteur en médecine, qui un fils, Pius Hieronymus, cousin de Hans, qui enseigne le droit à Fribourg et devient chancelier du Tyrol en 1527. La famille réside à Strasbourg.

Il est le premier homme de sa famille à ne pas fréquenter l'université, mais est l'un des premiers artistes allemands à venir d'une famille d'universitaires.

Formation auprès de Dürer (1503-1507)

La formation initiale de Baldung en tant qu'artiste débute vers 1500 en Haute-Rhénanie auprès d'un artiste strasbourgeois. À partir de 1503, pendant les « Wanderjahre » (« années d'errance ») imposées aux artistes de l'époque, il devient assistant dans l'atelier d'Albrecht Dürer à Nuremberg, où il perfectionne son art entre 1503 et 1507 . Il semble que Dürer l'ai employé surtout comme dessinateur de vitraux

On lui attribue peut-être alors son surnom « Grien ». On pense que ce nom provient avant tout d'une préférence pour la couleur verte : il semble avoir porté des vêtements verts. Il a peut-être également reçu ce surnom pour le distinguer d'au moins deux autres « Hans » de l'atelier de Dürer, Hans Leonhard Schäuffelin et Hans von Kulmbach. Plus tard, il inclut le nom « Grien » dans son monogramme. Il a également été suggéré que le nom provenait de, ou faisait consciemment écho à « grienhals », un mot allemand pour « sorcière », l'un de ses thèmes caractéristiques.

Hans capte rapidement l'influence et le style de Dürer. Ils deviennent amis. Baldung semble avoir dirigé l'atelier de Dürer lors du second séjour de ce dernier à Venise. Lors d'un voyage ultérieur aux Pays-Bas en 1521, les registres du livre de comptes de Dürer rapportent qu'il part avec lui et que Dürer vend des tirages de Baldung. Dürer, qui le tient en haute estime, lors de ce voyage, donne au peintre Joachim Patinir les Grünhansens Ding, qui sont des gravures sur bois que Baldung a faites dans son atelier.

Hans Baldung est alors l'une des principales figures de l'atelier de Dürer. Il y crée notamment une série de douze images pieuses consacrées à la Passion, au Jugement dernier et à plusieurs saints, au sujet simple et populaire, néanmoins exécutées dans la veine inaugurée par son maître et placées sous son monogramme, dont Vierge sur un banc de gazon et Sainte Barbe assise (vers 1505-1507).

Vers la fin de ses années à Nuremberg, Grien supervise la production par Dürer de vitraux, de gravures sur bois et de chalcographies, développant une affinité pour ces médias. Il est aussi autorisé à exécuter sa première commande en son nom propre, la fabrication de deux retables à volets comme mobilier initial pour la chapelle Marie Madeleine de la résidence épiscopale de Moritzburg à Halle-sur-Saale, qui a ensuite été installé de 1608 à 1838 dans la cathédrale de Halle-sur-Saale : l'Autel des Trois Rois de 1506 et l'Autel de Sébastien de 1507

À la mort de Dürer, Baldung reçoit une mèche de ses cheveux, ce qui suggère une amitié étroite.

Strasbourg (1509-1512)
En 1509, il retourne à Strasbourg et en devient citoyen. Il devient une célébrité de la ville et reçoit de nombreuses commandes importantes. L'année suivante, à 26 ans, il épouse Margarethe Herlin, la fille d'un marchand local, avec qui il a un enfant, Margarethe Baldungin. Il rejoint en 1510 la corporation de l'Échasse de Strasbourg en qualité de peintre et fonde son propre atelier. Il commence à signer ses travaux avec le monogramme HBG en ligature, qu'il utilise jusqu'à la fin de sa carrière.

Son style est devenu beaucoup plus délibérément individuel, une tendance que les historiens de l'art qualifient de « maniériste ».

Fribourg (1512-1518)

En 1512, Hans Baldung est chargé par les Münsterpfleger (préposés) de la cathédrale de Fribourg-en-Brisgau de concevoir un retable à volets pour le chœur gothique international  récemment achevé de la cathédrale Notre-Dame de Fribourg, composé de quatre panneaux avec une scène de la vie de la Vierge Marie (volets fermés), un panneau central avec le Couronnement de la Vierge et deux volets avec les douze apôtres (volets ouverts), un verso également peint avec la crucifixion de Jésus sur le panneau central et deux saints sur chacun des deux volets, plus une prédelle peinte avec les bustes en forme de portrait des Münsterpfleger de la cathédrale priant devant Marie en tant que patronne des Münsterpfleger. Ce retable devait être le point culminant de ses premiers travaux et est considéré comme son chef-d'œuvre. Ces représentations constituent une grande partie du plus grand corpus d'œuvres de l'artiste contenant plusieurs représentations célèbres de la Vierge.

Pour cette raison, il s'établit à Fribourg avec sa femme et y installe son atelier dans le monastère Saint-Martin. Pendant son séjour à Fribourg jusqu'en 1518, il créé plusieurs autels et images de dévotion, des gravures sur bois et des dessins pour les vitraux d'église, dont un pour les chapelles des familles nobles dans le déambulatoire de la cathédrale et la série de vitraux de la chartreuse de Fribourg-en-Brisgau

Comme Dürer et Lucas Cranach l'Ancien, Baldung soutient la Réforme protestante. Il assiste à la diète d'Empire à Augsbourg en 1518, et l'une de ses gravures sur bois représente Martin Luther sous des traits quasi saints, sous la protection (ou inspiré par) l'Esprit Saint qui plane sur lui sous la forme d'une colombe.

Son buste du margrave Philippe de l'Alte Pinakothek de Munich permet de savoir qu'il est lié à la famille régnante de Bade dès 1514.

Strasbourg (1518-1548)
En raison de la peste qui sévit à Strasbourg, Hans Baldung n'y revint  qu'en 1518. Il passe l'essentiel de sa vie à Strasbourg où il obtient les droits de bourgeois de la cité, atteint un statut social élevé et la prospérité. Il y possède une maison ainsi qu'à Illkirch.De 1533 à 1534, il occupe la fonction d'échevin de sa guilde et en 1545, l'année de sa mort, devient même conseiller.

Son buste du margrave Philippe de l'Alte Pinakothek de Munich permet de savoir qu'il est lié à la famille régnante de Bade dès 1514.

Thèmes

Sorcellerie

Outre les sujets religieux traditionnels, Baldung s'intéresse durant ces années aux thèmes profanes de l'imminence de la mort et de la relation entre les sexes, ainsi qu'aux scènes de sorcellerie. Le nombre d'œuvres religieuses de Baldung diminue avec la Réforme protestante, qui a répudié l'art religieux comme étant soit un gaspillage, soit une idolâtre.

Alors que Dürer a parfois inclus des images de sorcières dans son travail, Baldung est le premier artiste allemand à incorporer considérablement les sorcières, la sorcellerie et des thèmes érotiques dans ses œuvres. Ses œuvres les plus caractéristiques dans ce domaine sont à petite échelle une série d'œuvres énigmatiques, souvent érotiques, allégoriques et mythologiques.et principalement dans le domaine du dessin ; il s'agit notamment d'une série d'allégories et d'œuvres mythologiques déroutantes, souvent érotiques, exécutées à la plume d'oie et à l'encre de couleur blanche sur du papier apprêté.

Sa fascination pour la sorcellerie commence tôt, en 1510, lorsqu'il produit une importante gravure sur bois en clair-obscur connue sous le nom de Sabbat des sorcières, et dure jusqu'à la fin de sa carrière. Les sorcières suscitent également un intérêt local : les humanistes de Strasbourg étudient la sorcellerie et son évêque est chargé de trouver et de poursuivre les sorcières.

À partir de 1510, il crée de nombreuses œuvres dans lesquelles les sorcières sont dépeintes à la fois comme lubriques, séductrices et méchantes. Ces œuvres ne sont pas seulement reproduites en masse sous forme de gravures sur bois, mais sont également destinées à des dessins à la plume pour des ecclésiastiques, comme les Vœux du Nouvel An avec trois sorcières : DER COR CAPEN EIN GVT JAR de 1514 (musée du Louvre).

L'œuvre de Baldung représentant des sorcières est réalisée dans la première moitié du , avant que la chasse aux sorcières ne devienne un phénomène culturel répandu en Europe. D'un certain point de vue, le travail de Baldung ne reflète pas des croyances culturelles répandues au moment de sa création, mais en grande partie des choix individuels. D'un autre côté, Baldung s'est peut-être inspiré de l'humanisme du début du . À travers sa famille, il est plus proche des principaux intellectuels humanistes de l'époque que n'importe lequel de ses contemporains et participe à cette culture, produisant non seulement de nombreuses œuvres représentant des humanistes strasbourgeois et des scènes de l'art et de la littérature antiques, mais aussi des œuvres montrant leur attitude, tirées en grande partie de la poésie classique et de la satire envers les sorcières. Par exemple, on pense que Baldung fait allusion à la notion exprimée dans la littérature latine et grecque selon laquelle les sorcières pourraient contrôler le temps dans sa peinture à l'huile de 1523 Deux Sorcières, qui présente deux sorcières attrayantes et nues devant un ciel orageux. Comme l'a commenté Gert von der Osten :  « Baldung [traite] ses sorcières avec humour, une attitude qui reflète le point de vue dominant des humanistes de Strasbourg à cette époque qui considéraient la sorcellerie comme lustig (drôle), une question qui était plus amusante que sérieuse ».

Il s'avère également  difficile de faire la distinction entre le ton satirique que certains critiques observent dans l'œuvre de Baldung et une intention diffamatoire plus sérieuse, tout comme c'est le cas pour de nombreux autres artistes, y compris son contemporain Jérôme Bosch. Baldung pourrait également s'appuyer sur une littérature naissante sur la sorcellerie, ainsi que sur le développement de stratégies juridiques et médico-légales pour la chasse aux sorcières. Alors que Baldung n'a jamais travaillé directement avec des dirigeants de la Réforme pour diffuser des idéaux religieux à travers ses œuvres d'art, même s'il vit à Strasbourg, une ville de ferveur religieuse, il est un partisan du mouvement, travaillant sur le maître-autel de la ville de Münster, en Allemagne.

Baldung incorpore également régulièrement des scènes de sorcières volantes dans ses œuvres, une caractéristique qui a été contestée des siècles avant que son œuvre ne soit créée : le vol est intrinsèquement attribué aux sorcières par ceux qui croient au mythe du vol du sabbat ; sans leur capacité à voler, le mythe s'est fragmenté. Baldung le décrit dans des œuvres telles que Sorcières se préparant pour le vol du sabbat (1514).

Beauté et érotisme
Un de ses sujets de prédilection est la beauté et l'érotisme des personnes nues, en particulier des femmes. Dans de nombreuses variantes, Baldung crée un culte de la beauté pour lequel il n'y a pratiquement pas de prédécesseurs en Allemagne. La femme est représentée en Eve, en déesse antique, en sorcière ou en séductrice. Souvent, cependant, ces incarnations de la vie florissante contrastent avec le memento mori, la menace d'une mort inévitable sous la forme d'horribles squelettes. L'aspect de l'érotisme se reflète également dans l'examen des textes érotiques anciens. La peinture de Baldung La Mort et la Jeune fille de 1517 est considérée comme la première représentation picturale des poils pubiens dans l'Europe moderne.

Chevaux
Les représentations de chevaux de Baldung laissent derrière eux les motifs sacrés. Une étude à la perspective exigeante avec un cheval et un palefrenier, réalisée vers 1544, Le Palefrenier ensorcelé, en est un exemple. Le corps raccourci de l'homme en armure est étendu sur le sol devant une écurie. L'espace pictural ascendant est construit comme une scène. Sur le seuil de la pièce voisine se dresse une jument qui semble avoir foudroyé l'homme et le regarde avec malice. Un cheval hurlant apparaît sur le chef-d'œuvre de Pablo Picasso Guernica, que Picasso a repris de Hans Baldung, tout comme la vieille torche de sorcière en haut à droite de l'image. Dans une série de gravures sur bois avec des chevaux sauvages de 1534, Groupe de sept chevaux, des étalons excités se battant pour une jument se mordent au cou et s'attaquent. À la Renaissance, les chevaux symbolisent aussi l'impulsivité des personnes.

Peinture

Les premières peintures qui lui sont attribuées sont des retables avec le monogramme HB entrelacé, et la date de 1496, dans la chapelle du monastère de Lichtenthal près de Baden-Baden. Le Martyre de Saint-Sébastien et l'Épiphanie (aujourd'hui à Berlin, 1507) a été peint pour l'église du marché de Halle en Saxe.

Vers 1520, Hans Baldung crée de nombreux retables. Après cela, les grandes commandes d'église diminuent, il  travaille donc de plus en plus pour des amateurs d'art privés, ce qui affecte le sujet de ses images. Il est vrai que des thèmes religieux apparaissent encore dans son œuvre post-Réforme, principalement sous la forme de Vierges à l'Enfant et d'images de dévotion ; mais de nouveaux thèmes s'y ajoutent également, notamment la beauté et la mort, les sorcières, les chevaux, les peintures historiques et de genre et les portraits. Dans ses œuvres de la période tardive, il devient particulièrement clair que Hans Baldung donne aux motifs picturaux jusque-là habituels de nouveaux accents thématiques et recherche une expression artistique plus forte

Baldung est bien connu en tant que portraitiste, notamment pour la caractérisation pointue de ses sujets. Dans la lignée de son modèle Albrecht Dürer, Hans Baldung commence très tôt à peindre des portraits, bien que dans son style très sûr de lui. Sa première œuvre est un autoportrait qu'il réalise probablement devant un miroir au début de son apprentissage à Nuremberg (vers 1503) à la plume et au pinceau. Dans la période strasbourgeoise, à partir de 1518, il reçoit ses commandes principalement des familles nobles, de la bourgeoisie strasbourgeoise instruite et des soi-disant « Vieux-croyants » et réformés. Ses œuvres comprennent des images historiques et des portraits, tels que ceux de  Maximilien Ier et Charles Quint. Plus tard, il a des séances de pose avec le margrave Christophe de Bade, Ottilia sa femme et tous leurs enfants ;  le tableau avec ces portraits est toujours dans la Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe.

Alors que Dürer détaille rigoureusement ses modèles, le style de Baldung diffère en se concentrant davantage sur la personnalité du personnage représenté, une conception abstraite de l'état d'esprit du modèle.

Gravure

Ses estampes sont plus importantes que ses peintures. Les estampes de Baldung, bien que proches de Dürer, sont très individuelles dans le style et souvent dans le sujet, montrant peu d'influence italienne directe. Il travaille principalement la xylographie, bien qu'il ait réalisé six gravures sur cuivre, dont une très fine. Il rejoint la mode des gravures sur bois en clair-obscur. La plupart de ses centaines de gravures sur bois ont été commandées pour des livres, comme c'est la coutume à l'époque ; ses gravures sur bois « à une seule feuille » (c'est-à-dire des gravures non destinées à l'illustration de livres) sont inférieures à 100, bien qu'il n'y ait pas deux catalogues qui s'accordent sur le nombre exact.

Dessin
Le carnet de croquis de Karlsruhe avec plus de 100 dessins à la pointe d'argent de la période entre 1511 et 1545 mérite une mention spéciale.

L'une de ses premières œuvres est un portrait de l'empereur Maximilien, dessiné en 1501 sur une feuille d'un carnet de croquis maintenant dans la salle des estampes à Karlsruhe.

Style
Non conventionnel en tant que dessinateur, son traitement de la forme humaine est souvent exagéré et excentrique (d'où son lien, dans la littérature de l'histoire de l'art, avec le maniérisme européen), tandis que son style ornemental - abondant, éclectique et s'apparentant à la famille « allemande » de sculpteurs contemporains sur bois de tilleul - est tout aussi distinctif. Bien que Baldung ait été communément appelé le Corrège du nord, ses compositions sont un curieux mélange de couleurs éclatantes et hétérogènes, où le noir pur contraste avec le jaune pâle, le gris sale, le rouge impur et le vert éclatant. La chair n'est qu'une glaçure sous laquelle les traits sont indiqués par des lignes.

Ses œuvres se distinguent par leur éloignement du calme Renaissance de son modèle, Dürer, par la force sauvage et fantastique que certaines d'entre elles affichent et par leurs thèmes étonnants. Dans le domaine de la peinture, son Ève, le serpent et la mort (Musée des beaux-arts du Canada) montre ses forces. Il y a une force particulière dans le panneau La jeune fille et la Mort de 1517 (Bâle), dans les Deux Sorcières (Francfort), dans les panneaux monumentaux d'Adam et Eve (Madrid) et dans ses nombreux portraits puissants. Le Couronnement de la Vierge et les Douze Apôtres, l' Annonciation, la Visitation, la Nativité et la Fuite en Égypte, et la Crucifixion, avec des portraits de donateurs, du retable de Fribourg, sont exécutés avec une partie de cette puissance fantaisiste que Martin Schongauer a légué à l'école souabe.

Signatures et monogrammes
Hans Baldung signé ses œuvres avec le simple monogramme HB (Hans Baldung) dans les premières années de son activité indépendante, et à partir de 1510 avec le monogramme en ligature HBG (Hans Baldung Grien). La signature est souvent intégrée quelque part dans l'image, parfois sur une petite plaque et avec la date. On a l'impression qu'il n'a pas seulement utilisé son monogramme comme marque, mais aussi comme publicité, par exemple lorsqu'il insère sa propre scène au milieu de l'image, comme dans le cas du petit garçon avec le monogramme dans la Crucifixion de Fribourg (1516) ou le singe au monogramme dans la première gravure sur bois de la série des Chevaux sauvages (1534). Sur le maître-autel de Fribourg, Hans Baldung utilse même une légende comprenant la signature cryptographique au nom du Münsterschaffners Nikolaus Scheffer sur la prédelle arrière avec les préposés de la cathédrale pour faire référence à son œuvre : « Johannes (Baldung) hat dieses Werk geschaffen – im Jahr des Heils 1516 » (« Johannes (Baldung) a créé cette œuvre - dans l'année du salut 1516 ») ;  le texte sur le panneau d'inscription dans l'écoinçon droit de la prédelle est encore plus clair, où il est écrit :  « Hans Baldung genannt Grien, der Gmünder, schuf dies mit Hilfe Gottes und aus eigener Befähigung » (« Hans Baldung appelé Grien, le Gmünder, a créé cela avec l'aide de Dieu et de sa propre capacité »).

Abstract: Four electrodes method and the magnetic sputter film deposition technique combined with photolithographic shaping method are used to measure the electrical resistance of iron up to 25 GPa. Furthermore, in-situ high pressure X-ray diffraction experiment was performed for measuring the lattice parameters of iron under high pressures up to 25 GPa. The experimental results indicated that the process of bcc-hcp phase transition of iron initiated at 13.7 GPa and finished at 18.1 GPa. The pressure dependence of electrical conductivity of iron was finally deduced from the resistance data and the X-ray diffraction results.

Teddy Allen dismissed from Wichita State basketball team
Wichita State dismisses forward Teddy Allen after arrest at woman's home
Teddy Allen dismissed from Wichita State basketball team Wichita State dismisses forward Teddy Allen after arrest at woman's home Check out this story on USATODAY.com: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaab/2019/06/18/teddy-allen-dismissed-from-wichita-state-basketball-team/39599715/
AP Published 2:07 p.m. ET June 18, 2019
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Wichita State has dismissed Teddy Allen after he was arrested last week following a disturbance at a woman's home.
Athletic director Darron Boatright said Tuesday he and Coach Gregg Marshall wished Allen well but decided his dismissal was best for the basketball program.
Allen was arrested last Thursday after a woman accused him of causing a disturbance at her home, destroying her iPhone and stealing keys before fleeing on foot. He was later charged with domestic violence property crime and petty theft, both misdemeanors. He faces a July 29 arraignment.
Allen, a 6-foot-5 forward, transferred from West Virginia and sat out last season after the NCAA denied his request for a waiver to play immediately. Nicknamed "Teddy Buckets" for his scoring ability, Allen was expected to start this coming season.
The Wichita Eagle reports Marshall said in a statement that he was disappointed and regretted that he couldn't help Allen more.

Sundance 2007: A good mix of awesome and craperific
Where did 10 days go? Didn't I just get here? Why is my vision so blurry? Why do I have an out-of-focus picture of Sienna Miller stored in my camera phone? Why haven't I eaten in a week and a half?
Yes, it's over. The deals have been made, the hardware has been handed out, and after watching 35 or 40 movies in 10 days, I'm going to bed.
The award choices, announced Saturday night, weren't nearly as baffling as last year's picks, though it's still easy to take issue with the fact that "Grace is Gone" won the screenplay competition despite perfectly exemplifying a dozen or so indie-film clichs. The John Cusack drama also won the audience award for the dramatic competition and?well, I guess I can't blame the fans for honoring a tearjerker like this. Maybe it was a lock for the award all along.
The grand jury prize in the dramatic competition was "Padre Nuestro," which writer/director Christopher Zalla described Saturday night as The Prodigal Son meets Cain and Abel. Two young men from Mexico hitch a ride to cross the border and go on to New York, where Pedro (Jorge Adrian Espindola), hopes to meet the father he's never met-not expecting, of course, that Juan, a smooth-talking young swindler, will find the father first and take on Pedro's identity. Though I would have rather seen David Gordon Green's "Snow Angels" win the award, "Padre Nuestro" is a potent, character-driven thriller more than worthy of recognition.
The absolutely correct choice, however, was made in the documentary competition. Grand jury winner "Manda Bala" makes a strong case for being the best film at the entire festival (at least of those I've seen). Director Jason Kohn is a protg of master documentarian Errol Morris, having worked on Morris' "First Person" series as well as "The Fog of War."
Kohn has clearly taken all the right lessons from Morris, creating a dazzling and horrifying documentation of cyclical corruption in Brazil-rich stealing from poor, poor stealing from rich. Kohn's film is a non-fiction masterpiece that connects a pattern of scandal, economic developments and mystery and, as of right now, is not allowed to be shown in the country of Brazil.
Surprisingly, the excellent documentary "My Kid Could Paint That" was not honored in any category. The film is about 4-year-old "genius" abstract painter Marla Olmstead, whose work sold for more than $300,000 before a "60 Minutes" report suggested that she may, in fact, have been a hoax. Amir Bar-Lev's film analyzes what constitutes "art," and blurs the distinctions between valuable modern art and something that any 4-year-old could do.
I did not see all of the award winners, among them "Sweet Mud" (Grand Jury – World Dramatic), "Hear and Now" (Audience Award-Documentary) and "Dark Matter" (Alfred P. Sloan Prize). But I did see "Rocket Science," which won the dramatic directing award. Though not all that unlike other movies about high-school outcasts, "Rocket Science" is a well-acted and well-written account of Hal Hefner, a reclusive 15-year-old with a stuttering problem who is recruited to join the debate team.
"Once," a subtly romantic musical from Irish filmmaker John Carney, won the Audience Award for world cinema, while "In the Shadows of the Moon" won the same award in the doc category-an odd choice since there have already been dozens upon dozens of movies about landing on the moon. It's simply par for the course.
Others I saw during the last few days of the festival include Luc Besson's whimsical romantic comedy "Angel-A," Adrienne Shelly's completely charming but astoundingly predictable "Waitress," the odd, allegorical Korean film "The Last Dining Table" (not sure quite how I feel about it yet), Gregg Araki's mediocre stoner comedy "Smiley Face" and the horrifically bad "If I'd Known I Was a Genius," one of those "cute" autobiographical movies that makes no case for its own existence. Writer and star Markus Redmond's life story is just not very interesting, and as for the casting director-Tara Reid as a hot teenage girl? Have you SEEN her lately?
Finally, the best of the fest were: "Reprise," "Manda Bala," "Snow Angels," "My Kid Could Paint That," "Interview," "Once," "Rocket Science" and "An American Crime."
And the worst: "Hounddog," "Teeth," "If I'd Known I Was a Genius," "Year of the Dog" and "Joshua."

More reports on: Government policies
Govt clears Rs21,000-cr projects for defence industries
The defence ministry has cleared procurement proposals worth over Rs21,000 crore besides clearing a project for the production of transport aircraft, in a major support to Indian private sector companies.
The major proposals approved today include Rs9,000 crore tender to provide five fleet support ships for the Navy, for which the request for proposal (RFP) would be issued to all public and private sector shipyards.
The first meeting of the Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) chaired by defence minister Arun Jaitley also cleared a proposal for supply of 32 HAL-built Advanced Light Helicopter, 'Dhruv', to the Coast Guard and the Navy at a cost of Rs7,000 crore.
The majority of the proposals cleared at the DAC meeting involve only Indian public and private sector firms and are aimed at increasing the indigenisation of military hardware, defence ministry officials stated.
"There are many proposals in the pipeline for the defence forces and, today, we have tried to expedite quite a few of them," Jaitley said.
Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd will supply 16 helicopters each to the Coast Guard and the Navy and also provide maintenance for the machines to ensure the "highest level of operational maintenance and efficiency".
DAC also cleared an IAF proposal for issuance of a tender for construction of 56 transport aircraft by private industry players to replace the force's fleet of Avro aircraft, they said. "This is going to be a significant project in which the private sector would be the sole player and lead to capacity- building in the private sector," Jaitley said.
As per the proposal, private Indian defence companies such as Tata and Mahindra would be issued tender and they would build the aircraft in partnership with foreign firms. The proposal was stuck under the previous UPA government after the then heavy industries minister Praful Patel wrote to the defence ministry against the decision to keep out public sector firms from the project.
Defence ministry had referred the matter to the law ministry, which opined in favour of the proposal for capacity-building in the domestic aerospace sector, ministry officials said, adding that the tender would be issued soon.
Under the project, which was cleared earlier and is expected to cost over Rs20,000 crore, the first 16 aircraft would be built at the facilities of the foreign vendor while the remaining 40 aircraft would be manufactured in India.
This would be the first time that the private sector would be allowed to manufacture a complete aircraft without participation of the public sector HAL, the only aerospace firm in the country.
The meeting also cleared the procurement of five Fast Patrol Vessels (FPV) and Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPV) each for the Coast Guard at the cost of Rs2,360 crore. The FPVs and OPVs would be built by the state-owned GRSE and Goa Shipyards Ltd, respectively, officials said.
A proposal to procure Search and Rescue (SAR) equipment for the three services at a cost of Rs900 crore, too, received the green light.
The last meeting of the DAC was held on 24 February under the then defence minister AK Antony. The NDA government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi is stressing on indigenisation of the military industry given that India has to import 70 per cent of its defence hardware.
The Modi government has hiked the FDI limit in defence to 49 per cent from the earlier 26 per cent and significantly pruned the list of defence items whose production requires manufacturing license.


On February 2, Consul General Hong Lei visited Rep. Kevin Yoder's office in Overland Park and met with office representative Ethan Patterson.
Consul General Hong Lei elaborated on China's cooperation with Kansas and China-US ties, highlighting that China's fruitful cooperation with Kansas on trade, investment and people-to-people exchanges is full evidence of the mutually beneficial and win-win relationship between China and the US. Being the most important bilateral relationship in the world, China-US ties meet the interests of both countries and beyond. China's development will continue to create huge opportunities for bilateral cooperation. It is hoped that Rep. Yoder can continue to support China-US relations and play a positive role in expanding all-round cooperation between China and the US.
Patterson said that the sound China-US relations are in the interests of both people. Rep. Yoder is an advocate for international trade and believes that the US economy is dependent on the world. He welcomes Chinese companies' investment in the US and win-win results.


Web hosting is vital to each and every website in the world, but it is unfortunately often neglected or misunderstood. You could spend a great deal of time and money working with a web designer to create a beautiful, functional website, but if the site takes 30 seconds to load, or worse, it doesn't load at all, then your efforts have been mostly wasted.
This page will help to give you a better understanding of the different web hosting options available to you, the importance of using them, and how hosting relates to design and website development. If you would like to find out more, then continue reading; otherwise, if you are ready to start comparing design companies and hosting options, just complete the form above to start the process now.
Aside from paying someone to design and build your website, you also need to purchase the domain name. The domain name is the technical term for a web address like www.approvedindex.co.uk - this address is also known as the URL and is an utterly vital feature of your website.
It is possible to host your own website, but doing so requires specialist equipment and it's almost always cheaper and more convenient to use an external company's resources. Website hosting costs can start from less than £5 a month for small sites.
A website's data must be physically stored on a computer - a server - which is connected to the internet so that it can be accessed by other computers that are also connected to the internet. This is the service known as hosting, and the service provider is the web host. As web hosting determines both site speed and visitor capacity, it is essential that you make the right choice based on your site's specifications.
There are various services that allow users to create and host websites for free, although often these options come with limited storage space, visitor capacity, functionality and features, making them mostly unsuitable for businesses looking to create an effective, professional site.
For those concerned with hosting for their own, self-contained website, which will be built by a website designer or agency, the kind of hosting you require depends on a number of factors, although the number of visitors your site receives is the most important.
Shared web hosting is an entry level option where your website is stored on a server which also hosts other websites. This is generally the cheapest option available but it does come with one particular danger: as you are sharing a server with a number of other sites, your website's speed is directly affected by the traffic on others being hosted alongside you.
Dedicated hosting means that your site has a server all to itself. The advantage of a dedicated server is that it provides you with more storage capacity as well as a higher capacity for site traffic. The downside is that you are paying for the whole server, whether you use it or not.
Virtual Private Servers offer a compromise between shared and dedicated hosting. One physical server runs a number of virtual ones, which behave exactly as a real computer whilst sharing the resources of just one server. With this option, you pay for a set amount of the real server's resources so that you can guarantee a certain level of performance. Since your server is virtual, it can then easily be moved to a more powerful or dedicated option in the future, if required.
For very large and busy website there are a number of hosting options involving multiple servers. These services can be customised to your site's needs so that, if your website becomes too popular for a standard hosting option, you can work with your web designers and hosting provider to find the best solution.
Now that you have an understanding of what website hosting is and how it works, you need to know how website design affects hosting, and vice versa.
Every time a person visits your website, your server sends data to the visitor. You will probably pay your host for a certain quality of connection, and there may be a limit on the amount of data your site can transfer for a given period. Because of these restrictions it makes sense to minimise the size of your web pages as much as possible to reduce the amount of data being sent, and to reduce page loading times.
Good website designers will consider these factors as a matter of course and will take steps to maintain certain levels of quality; steps like condensing images and using css web design are considered a part of best practice for those looking to create exciting dynamic websites that do not cripple servers.
Your website may include special features to uphold certain design element - for example, a message board of forum site. Since interactive, dynamic websites like this work by performing processing on the server hosting website, you will require a host which supports dynamic content. Your website designer will be able to advise and make recommendations at this stage and can, if necessary, go on to arrange the appropriate hosting.
Website prices related to hosting usually include: domain - .co.uk, hosting and email addresses for the first year, with annual renewals required to maintain the service. Renewals for UK domains are around £15, whilst hosting is around £40 and email accounts are £15. You also have the option to purchase .com, .net or .org domains, which are an extra £10 and will also need annual renewal.
Added extra images can cost £7 each, extra web pages are £40 each, a flash animated image gallery is £80, contact form enquiries are £55, a 'link swap' page with up to 20 links is £55, an extra email account is £15 per year, an integrated availability calendar is £15 and a testimonial page that features 6 customers is £55.
Web hosting is as vital to your online operations as web design and development; to ensure that you are getting the best service, you should consider it as a part of your process. Many of Approved Index's web design partners will include web hosting as part of their service, but it is always worth asking for details if you require clarification or extra information.

Bourdain was survived by an 11-year-old daughter. His estate plan included monies that had been placed in trust for her. The funds are scheduled to be dispersed as she reaches specified ages. Some estate planning analysts say it is better to give an inheritance in one lump sum as opposed to scheduled trust disbursements. That may not be the most pressing matter regarding Bourdain's estate, however.
It seems his divorce was not yet finalized when he died. While he did leave his then-wife various assets, such as furniture and frequent flyer miles, she was not a main beneficiary in his estate. Since their divorce was not finalized, she may indeed be able to claim up to one third of his estate by means of a surviving spouse's right of election.
Since Bourdain's daughter is a minor, the court will appoint someone to manage her trust, because her father did not include this provision in his estate plan. Illinois estate laws may vary from those of other states. What's most important is that, regardless of what state someone lives in, clear understanding of the estate planning process is necessary if one hopes to accomplish certain goals. To avoid serious complications with wills and trusts, most people rely on experienced legal support.

Heroines galore as Devilettes rally from 8-1 down to win LKC Softball crown over Braxton County, 13-9
GREG MATICS
SPENCER – Down 8-1 after four innings, Coach Cindy Carmichael's Devilettes staged a comeback for the ages, rallying for six runs in the top of the sixth and five runs in the top of the seventh to stun Braxton County, 13-9, and claim the 2017 LKC Softball crown Friday night.
There were heroines galore in red and black.
Down 5-0 after one inning after a couple of infield errors kept Braxton County at-bat for Amber Frame's three-run homer that chased starting pitcher Kendall Bowen, Ravenswood got on the scoreboard when freshman relief pitcher Rylin Tabor doubled to the base of the left field fence on a drive that was almost out for a homer. Tabor scored on Jala Sayre's RBI single to make it 5-1.
The Eagles answered back and led 8-2 after five innings, when the Devilettes came alive pressuring Braxton into miscues and plating a pair of runs to made it 8-4. Senior catcher Bayli Manns then turned the game upside down with one bat swing by launching a bases-loaded pitch over the left center field fence for a grand slam homer to knot the game at 8-8.
Braxton answered in the bottom of the sixth by plating a run to go back ahead 9-8, but the key play of the half-inning was a gamble that went awry. The Eagles tried to score a runner from second on a line single to center, but senior centerfielder Claudia Cubides sent a laser throw to Manns who tagged out the runner ahead of the plate. Ravenswood closed out the Eagles with the single run to set the stage for their seventh inning drama.
In that final at-bat, the Devilettes tallied five more runs as the Eagles' defense unraveled. Ashley Johnson got things started when she scored on another RBI single by Jala Sayre, knocking the ball out of the catcher's glove on her slide at the plate. Caught in a rundown between third base and home, Kendall Bowen blew past the catcher to score when she came out too far in the chase. Claudia Cubides bolted to third and the throw down sailed into left field allowing Cubides to race home.
Tough-as-nails Tabor, who had been felled by a sharp comebacker to the gut in relief pitching duty in the sixth inning, reentered and delivered a line RBI single to score another run for Ravenswood.
Tabor then returned to the mound to lock down the save, appropriately snagging another sharp comebacker to throw to Macey Manns at first base for the final out with two Eagle runners aboard.
Shortstop Skylar Mace also made a couple of huge plays, turning a not-easy double play to end a Eagle threat and laying out for an over the shoulder catch on a bloop to center field in another crucial situation.
Ecstatic Coach Cindy Carmichael said the wild win ranks with the best she's been associated with as player or coach.
Bowen got the pitching win, although she pitched a total of just one inning with no strikeouts, one walk, four hits and five unearned runs allowed. Tabor got the save, tossing six total innings with one strikeout, three walks, nine hits and four runs (two earned).
At the plate, Bayli Manns went 4-for-5 with a grand slam homer, double, six RBIs and two runs scored. Jala Sayre was 3-for-4 with a double, three RBIs and a run scored. Rylin Tabor was 3-for-5 with a double, RBI and two runs scored. Claudia Cubides was 1-for-2 with three runs scored; Kendall Bowen, 1-for 5 with an RBI and two runs scored; Skylar Mace, 1-for-5; Ashley Johnson, 1-for-5 with two runs scored; and Sidney Smith scored a run.
Beth Ramsey was tagged with the pitching loss for the Eagles, going 0.1 inning with two walks and two rusn allowed. Kassidy Heavner was the starter and went six innings, fanning two, walking three and allowing 12 hits and 10 runs (five earned). Peyton Smith threw 0.2 inning, fanning none, walking one and allowing no hits and two runs.
At the plate, Alex Carr went 3-for-4 with a three-run homer, four RBIs and a run scored. Amber Frame was also 3-for-4 with two runs scored; and Emily Miller, 3-for-4 with an RBI. Beth Ramsey was 2-for-3 with two RBIs and two runs scored.
RAVENSWOOD 13—GILMER COUNTY 5
Freshman Rylin Tabor tossed six innings of three-hit softball with two strikeouts and three walks, as LKC West #1 seed Ravenswood advanced to the 2017 LKC Softball championship game with a 13-5 demolition of LKC East #2 seed Gilmer County Wednesday at Spencer.
Tabor helped her own cause by going 2-for-3 at the plate with a pair of RBIs and three runs scored.
Skylar Mace went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles, three RBIs and a pair of runs scored; Kendall, 3-for-4 with a double, RBI and two runs scored; Macey Manns, 1-for-4 with a double, two RBIs and a run scored; and Claudia Cubides, 1-for-4 with a triple, and RBI. Sidney Smith was 1-for-1 with two RBIs and a runs scored; Ashley Johnson and Jala Sayre, 1-for-3 each with an RBI and runs scored; and Bayli Manns, 1-for-4 with two runs scored. Ravenswood roughed up the Titans for 13 hits in the game.
Ravenswood led 5-0 after four innings, before Gilmer broke out with four runs in the top of the fifth to trim the deficit to 5-4. The Devilettes answered by exploding for six runs in the bottom half of the fifth and added a pair in the bottom of the sixth to end the game via the mercy rule.
Carly Somerville took the pitching loss for the Titans, going four innings with two strikeouts, two walks, five hits and five runs allowed. Madisyn Furr tossed 1.1 innings, fanning none, walking none and allowing eight hits and eight runs.
Haley Wanstreet (two RBIs), Hannah Grove and Furr (RBI) had one single each for Gilmer County.

Readers Respond: Kite Math

For the Museum of Mathematics
Math Mondays has been accumulating a lot of mail from all you fellow makers out there with a mathematical bent so today's installment marks the beginning of a series (the length of which depends on how much more mail you all send) based on readers' responses to earlier columns. We're going to start with photos sent by Terry Thillman in response to Geometry Takes Flight; Terry built all of the kites pictured below. Although the word "kite" when used as a mathematical term for a particular sort of shape means "a quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent equal edges," Terry wanted to re-emphasize the fact that a kite does not have to be a kite, so to speak. The first example is a kite called "Oops" which is made from six scalene triangles, no two sides the same length:
The second design, entitled "Mr. X," simply shows an unusual and striking three-dimensional geometry:
And the final photo "Crazy Eddy" actually shows a very large geometric structure constructed out of 208 kite-shaped kites interconnected by string:
This photo begs our final question of the day: suppose you had a single long (idealized weightless) string with many kites attached at equal intervals along the string. And suppose further that every kite experienced the same force from the wind, and that both ends of the string were attached to the ground. What shape would the resulting kite arch take on? Answers to mondays@momath.org — I'll give a shout out to the first correct one received.

Making corporate yoga asanas a part of the daily routine can do wonders to a person. These yoga poses wipe away body pain, stress, tension, and fatigue while improving overall muscle strength, flexibility, while keeping them energised and revitalized throughout the day.
Conducting office yoga classes gives employees a relaxing break from their usual routine. Corporate yoga classes provides good workout and boosts their energy level, leading to better functioning and improved work quality. It helps workers recharge their batteries, create healthier relationships, and increases motivation and self-esteem.
Corporate Yoga Asanas: Unlike other yoga sequences, Corporate Yoga exercises can be performed simply at the desk in office itself. You don't need too much space or a change of clothes to practice Corporate yoga asanas. Here are the five corporate yoga poses you can give a shot and head for a great start.
1. Neck Roll or Kanta Sanchalana: Sit straight and close your eyes. Drop your chin to the chest. Now start moving your neck slowly in a circular motion. Move the right ear to the right shoulder, bend the back backwards and then left ear to the left shoulder. While performing the circular motion through the neck, keep the shoulders relaxed and loose. Rotate the neck for at least 3-5 times and then switch directions in starting the motion.
2. Cow Stretch or Marjaryasana: Sit straight and keep feet flat on the floor. Place both palms on the knees. Now inhale, and stretch your back backwards. Bend your head backwards and look toward the ceiling. Now exhale, stretch your back forward. Drop your head forward and look towards the floor. Repeat this yoga pose for 3-4 times.
3. Seated Forward Bend or Paschimottanasana: Before getting started, push your chair away from the desk. Sit on the chair straight and keep the feet flat on the floor. Now, bring your arms backwards, behind the lower back without bending your back. Interlace the fingers behind the back and bend forward from the waist. Now raise your interlaced fingers over your back. Let your chest rest on thighs and relax the neck.
4. Eagle Arms Pose or Garudasana: Start the yoga pose while sitting in the chair. Raise both arms in the front. Keep them parallel to the floor with palms facing down. Now, cross the right arm over the left and join the palms. Bend your elbows slightly if needed. Now, lift both elbows and let the shoulders slide down the back. Repeat this yoga pose with the left arm over the right.
5. Seated Spinal Twist Pose or Ardha Matsyendrasana: Keep the feet flat on the floor and sit sideways in your chair. Twist your body from the waist to the right towards the back of the chair while holding the back of the chair with both hands. Repeat the same on the other side. Do it for 4-5 times. Turn to the other side.
6. Temple Rub: Place your elbows on the desk and hands on your temples. Rub your temples with hands gently in small circular motions clockwise and then anti-clockwise. Do this for at least 10-15 breaths.
So, practice these corporate yoga poses on a regular basis and show the best version of you at the workplace.

Thanks for the ideas and suggestions regarding Wednesday's post - I think commenter Louise hit the nail on the head, with her description of the immediate increase in heart rate when you begin to run. Glad to hear that I'm not the only one who experiences this. I'm sure anxiety is also part of it, and I hope I can at least work on that aspect - anything to lessen the hyperventilating would be nice at this point.
Believe it or not, I was actually on the thinner side when this picture was taken! Circa 2004.
Pitiful, isn't he??? Poor dog has seasonal allergies, and this spring has been especially tough on him with all the rain and pollen. He's been chewing his feet so much that they are raw - he actually whines as he's chewing them because it hurts, but he can't seem to stop. We put medicine on his paws, wrap them up, and then he has to wear the cone of shame so he won't immediately tear off the wrap. It seems to be helping, but he's not very happy with the whole experience. I probably wouldn't be, either!
I'm not at the point of being able to knit this sweater yet, but hey - I may get there before next winter, and then? How cool would it be to actually wear a sweater that I made?!? The owner also, very nicely, included a different sweater pattern that I might be able to knit sooner - it's short-sleeved and super cute. I'm both scared and excited to try it!
How did she know my hair is that wild? Oh yeah, she's seen me first thing in the morning!
Tiny knitting needles made out of toothpicks and beads! She knitted that piece, too!
Mom made the doll in a class she took - love the personal details like the jewelry, knitting, and the purple dress. Now I just need to come up with a name for her...any suggestions?
I can't believe that tomorrow is the goal race for our 10 Week/10K program - and yes, nervous would be an understatement when it comes to that race, what with the hills and the distance. But, I'm really going to try and just enjoy the day, and focus on running from point to point (mailbox, lightpost, cow - whatever keeps me moving forward). And afterward? Ice cream! I can do this.
Pink! And with this, I completed my challenge of wearing 10 different outfits for the long runs...you know, some people would challenge themselves with actual RUNNING, but not me...I'm in it for the clothes, baby!
Good luck with the run - "just keep moving" -you have got this.
May your weekend bring you joy and Paco some relief! Glad you got to spend such a great time with your mom.
I just LOVE the love between you and your mom which emanates from every post you mention her in.
I PRAY I have that with mine when she's grown.
I still can't believe I can shop it the normal sized stores now. It does take some getting used to. Great pictures of you and your mom. Good luck on the 10k tomorrow. I love the running outfit and I really love the color of the runners! Mmmm ...maybe I will have to do some shopping.
As usual, every paragraph of your post made me smile or laugh. Love the square with the butterfly - great color of green. Funny your going to learn to pick up stitches - the blanket I'm doing is all about that. I promise a picture today!
You actually look like a different person since your weight loss - both pictures of you and your mom are beautiful, but it's remarkable how much younger and present you appear now. As much as anything, that makes me want to get this weight loss of my own body done! Thanks for the inspiration.
I remember when Lou had to wear a lampshade - the vet brought him in the room with it and said Lou could pick up thousands of channels worldwide! Amazing they do get used to it after awhile. I hope Paco's time in the 'hood' is short. Have a great weekend, Shelley.
LOL on the "lampshade" - never heard it called that!
Ooops - sorry to double dip - but your doppleganger is a mini-you!
I'll second Roxie's suggestion of Purl for your dolly's name, it was the first thing I thought of.
When I saw the old photo I thought, "Who is in that photo with Judy and why is Shelley showing us that?" Then the lights came on... WOW how great to have visual evidence of just how far you've come!
You'll do great tomorrow. It's going to be a blast no matter what. Can't wait for the report.
The difference in that photo is amazing! It's hard to imagine you like that.
You will do great in the race tomorrow. Think back to last year at this time and how you couldn't do it at all. Now you are back running again and enjoying it.
Echoing everyone's sentiments - you look like a completely different person!
Your mom is great. You guys are adorable.
And, your 10k race outfit is perfect. Good luck, can't wait to hear all about it.
It's so funny, with that picture of you and your Mom in the white shirts - I can barely recognize that its you! Glad you had fun getting froyo and shopping with your Momma.
I love your idea of running to objects during your race - it breaks it into smaller subjects - just think "I'll get ice cream when I am done!"
Wow, lots to comment on today! I love moss roses. I've never had any luck with them. But I am going to try again this year. They are SOOO pretty.
That's interesting, and I've found it to be true too, how being with certain people, or in certain situations will take us back to 'the olden days' so clearly.
Paco!!! Poor guy. I didn't let Sophie see the picture. I think she would find it deeply disturbing on so many levels (she is a closet foot licker herself.) I had an outdoor cat with terrible seasonal allergies. Fortunately just one or two medicated baths in the fall would take care of it.
That doll that your mom made for you is SOOO CUTE!! Very clever.
Run, Shelley, Run!! (but not too hard...) You still get ice cream even if you're not first, right?
LOVE this! I love the pics of the doll from your Mom how cool!!
Awww..poor little Paco!!!! Hope he feels better soon. You and your Mom have the BEST relationship. LOVE it!!! Have a great race Shelley!!!!!
That doll is just so cool, I can't believe how tiny that knitting is!!
Aw, hope Paco is back to normal soon!
Can I say me too about the "before" photo - you do look like a different person. What an accomplishment, you are very inspiring! And your mom is adorable, it's so nice that you have such a great relationship with her.
Love the doll your Mom made for you. And I love the photo of the two of you (also your new top: fantastic choice). You've come a long way my friend if you compare both pictures.
And the yarn with the sweater: you can totally do this. If it's an easy knitting stitch you will be fine. Just try it.
Very cool you won that prize.
Oops forgot: hope your race Saturday went great.
Awww, so glad you had fun with your mom, and that you guys are able to shop at the same stores. I agree, it is a bit of a jolt even after you've been shopping in regular stores for a while.
Just discovered your blog thanks to Fran. I love the outfits. I am curretnly injured and not running but have started knitting and biking. GL with your running and racing!

How To Overcome Social Determinants of Health in Musculoskeletal Care

Employee BenefitsHealthcareHealth BenefitsHealth EquitySDoH
The Institute of Medicine, in the 2001 landmark report Crossing the Quality Chasm, outlined six key aims for healthcare to focus on in the twenty-first century: a prime healthcare experience that is safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable. Although many of these goals have been at least partly achieved, one is lagging – health equity.
Healthcare is no more equitable now than it was twenty years ago. The divide between rural and urban communities continues to show itself in average life expectancy. Research shows that 33 states have seen at least one rural hospital close in the last 10 years, and it's estimated that just over 30 million Americans live more than an hour away from trauma care. In urban communities, like Milwaukee, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, physical disability, disease prevalence, and mortality rates are significantly higher in zip codes with lower median household incomes.

City to provide rent relief funding
By Tim Kalinowski on December 15, 2020.
Herald photo by Ian Martens City council voted to provide up to $500,000 in additional one-time funding drawn from City reserves to help those struggling to pay their rent in the community in 2021. @IMartensHerald
LETHBRIDGE HERALDtkalinowski@lethbridgeherald.com
City council voted 6-3 to provide up to $500,000 in additional one-time funding drawn from City reserves to help those struggling to pay their rent in the community in 2021.
Deputy Mayor Ron Miyashiro proposed providing the $500,000 in one-time assistance to top up the City's current commitment of $252,000 per year for the Housing Rent Supplement Program.
Miyashiro said given recent layoffs due to COVID-19, which disproportionately impacts the community's lowest income earners in the city, and due to the ongoing economic challenges facing the community which are expected to continue into 2021, that a one-time top-up was needed to help those struggling to pay rent.
"We're a group around the horseshoe (in council chambers) that is pretty privileged compared to a lot of people in our community," he stated. "We need to look at what people other than us might need. We need to look at how the people who are barely getting by need support so they can actually get by. So they can strive and they can succeed, rather than just exist. There is no support right now from the federal government and the provincial government for rent subsidies for the purpose this is for.
"If we help people with rent," Miyashiro added, "they are going to be able to eat, and they are going to be able to buy clothes, and they are going to be able to get things for their kids. It's not a matter of, 'they can go to this agency or that agency' — this gives them a hand up. We need to recognize at city council that this is a really good use of money. This is a great use for us to bring people up."
Mayor Chris Spearman said there was also another side of this to consider: by giving more rent support to people in the community, council will also be indirectly helping property owners in Lethbridge.
"We have high rates of poverty in our city," acknowledged Spearman. "We have people who are struggling to pay their rent. I think housing is one of the basic things, and we need to make sure people are supported. We recognize also the landlords are being challenged. There are people who have invested. They will struggle to pay their mortgages if their renters can't pay their rent. Any assistance would be welcome."
Councillors Blaine Hyggen, Joe Mauro and Ryan Parker voted against topping up the City's Housing Rent Supplement Program. All three felt housing was a federal and provincial jurisdiction, and the City should not be using its reserves in those areas.

Here Is The BBC Snooze
By Bobby | November 17, 2017 - 9:51 pm | November 23, 2017 Other BBC News
If you work in industry, say a factory, and fell asleep on the job, you would indeed get the sack. However, many of the night-shift workers at the BBC Broadcasting House, London, cat-nap regularly. Moreover, this is the headquarters of the BBC where the news comes from. In the first place, the BBC force people to pay a £147 licence fee. While the licence payers want value for money, this is what they get. But are those workers sleeping on our time or their official breaks?
The whistle-blower is a worker at the BBC who says it is difficult to work while others are snoring. Furthermore, the angry work colleague took pictures of the sleepers as a joke but its not funny now. Obviously, BBC television licence payers don't find it funny either.
The BBC Says
In reply, the BBC said: "This is a misleading story about people working a long night shift. When they take a break, whether they walk around the block, go for a cup of tea or just simply rest, that's surely up to them."
While we agree in a way with the BBC that people can have a snooze in their breaks, it doesn't look nice. In fact, we need more convincing. Surely they have better places to rest than close to other BBC staff?

Rats are treated as pious and are also given protection in the temple.
Inside this temple you will see around 20,000 rats scurrying between the feet of pilgrims, still they are not scared but are protected.
Karni Mata temple is known for its devotion to the furry animals, which are often seen as dirty creatures in urban area. The temple is located in a small town of Deshnoke, Bikaner in Rajasthan. Karni Mata is also referred to as 'Nari Bai'.
There are many stories behind rats being worshipped and protected here.
One of the legend goes that Karni Mata, a mystic matriarch from the 14th century, was an incarnation of Durga, the goddess of power and victory. At some point during her life, the child of one of her clansmen died. She attempted to bring the child back to life, only to be told by Yama, the god of death, that he had already been reincarnated. Karni Mata had cut a deal with Yama: From that point forward, all of her tribe people would be reborn as rats until they could be born back into the clan.
These holy animals are called as 'kabbas' or 'little children' are fed grains, milk, and coconuts shells from large metal bowls. According to the temple rules, stepping on rat and killing it is a sin. The sinner is then bound to buy a gold or silver rat statue and place it in temple as a payment of sin.
Water the rats drink from is considered holy, and eating the rats leftovers is said to bring good fortune to those making the pilgrimage to the temple.

Draft constitution nearly ready for Egyptian discussion - Daily News Egypt
Egypt Draft constitution nearly ready for Egyptian discussion
Draft constitution nearly ready for Egyptian discussion
Political groups encourage citizen to reject draft
Joel Gulhane October 10, 2012 Be the first to comment
Mohamed Al-Beltagy announces the draft constitution produced by the Constituent Assembly
Hassan Ibrahim / DNE
The final draft of Egypt's new constitution is "nearly ready" as stated in a press conference held on Wednesday afternoon. It was announced the referendum on the constitution will be a "yes" or "no" choice, not a vote on individual articles.
A campaign to raise awareness about the constitution was launched by the Constituent Assembly. The 6 April youth movement and members of the former ruling National Democratic Party have launched campaigns encouraging citizens to the reject this draft.
Mohamed El-Beltagy, chairman of the committee on proposals for the Constituent Assembly, announced the draft of Egypt's new constitution is nearly ready for the public to see. There are still sections that have not been completed; including those on local government and the judiciary. Some articles on executive power and the role of the military in the Egyptian state will be completed next week.
El-Beltagy said that he has listened to many viewpoints, "from communities and different bodies in Egypt for the last three months, since the start of this process."
He emphasised this was not the final draft of the constitution and it will be changed if the people of Egypt desire it. The draft will be made available for all Egyptians to see, in this way it is hoped all of Egypt will contribute to process of writing the final constitution.
El-Beltagy denied that there will be a vote on individual articles and stated, "the referendum will be on the constitution as a whole and will be one of two options, yes or no."
Many have accused the Constituent Assembly of being dominated by Islamists and there have been calls to boycott the assembly, the most recent of which came from a group lead by Al-Dostour party chairman, Mohamed ElBaradei, and former presidential candidate, Hamdeen Sabahy.
These figures released a statement signed by various political figures and party leaders calling on President Mohamed Morsy to put together "a new assembly which is balanced and ensures no one party or ideology dominates the constitution as part of fulfilling his previous electoral promise of recomposing the assembly so that it represents the entire nation."
Amongst those who reject this draft of the constitution is the 6 April youth movement. One of the leaders of the movement, Mohammed Adel said on Wednesday, "we want a civil constitution for all the people of Egypt." In order to achieve this, the 6 April group has decided to launch a campaign called "protect your constitution."
Adel said "the campaign will have a two pronged approach, firstly to raise awareness of the content of the constitution and secondly to put pressure on the Constituent Assembly to create a civil constitution, not an Islamic constitution." The aim of the campaign is to "reach people in poor areas and try to tell them that we need a civil constitution. The concern is that they are only aware of what the Muslim Brotherhood tells them."
AhramOnline also reported on Sunday that some members of the former ruling National Democratic Party had formed another campaign named "reject your constitution." The group rejects the constitution on the grounds that Islamists had the final say on sixty per cent of the articles in the draft constitution.
