Fall camp over for Wyoming Football; Season opener this Saturday
Jerrad Anderson
Wyoming head coach Craig Bohl praised the play of the offensive line on Friday and said he can already see positive benefits of moving former Cowboy running back Trey Woods to defensive end earlier this week. Bohl's comments came after the 19th practice of fall camp.
"I thought we had another good practice today," said Bohl. "We were in the stadium, getting ourselves acclimated to the turf. No injuries today — there is still some soft-tissue injuries that we should get cleaned up with some guys in the next few days.
"I was really pleased as I think our offensive line has responded well, is coming off the ball well and is doing a good job of protecting the quarterback. The main thing is they've really established themselves in the running game.
"Defensively, we're moving around well, and I think the move of Trey Woods (from running back to defensive end) is really good."
Asked if Bohl expected Woods to play right away at defensive end after the recent move, the Cowboy head coach said, "We're probably going to play him, and as he gathers more experience at that spot there could be more playing time."
The Cowboys will conclude the fall camp portion of practice on Saturday, Aug. 18 with a morning practice before entering their first game week of the season next week.
As his team prepares to wrap up camp on Saturday, Bohl was asked what he was focusing on as the Cowboys approach kick off of the 2018 season on Saturday, Aug. 25 in Las Cruces, N.M., versus New Mexico State.
"We need to clean up a lot of things," said Bohl. "We're going to have officials tomorrow (Saturday) and we need to make sure all our substitutions are clean, all our alignments are straight, because the last thing we want to have are self-inflicted penalties. We need to give everything our best shot as we get ready for New Mexico State. Game time is not too far away"
On the injury front when asked about the status of redshirt freshman offensive guard Eric Abojei, Bohl said he believed Abojei had a good chance of being cleared for full practice next Monday. Abojei did return to the practice field on a limited basis the last couple of days after going through concussion protocol.
Bohl said the Cowboys will release their first fall depth chart on Monday, Aug. 20 during his first Monday press conference of the season.
Wyoming and New Mexico State will both enter the 2018 season opener coming off bowl victories to conclude their 2017 seasons.
Wyoming enjoyed a convincing win, 37-14, over Central Michigan in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, while New Mexico State captured a 26-20 overtime victory over Utah State in the NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl.
The Wyoming-New Mexico State game on Saturday, Aug. 25 will kick off at 8 p.m., M.T. and will be televised on ESPN2. It is one of only four college football games next weekend in what has been tabbed "Zero Week".

Tattooists Help Breast Cancer Survivors Transform Scars Into Art
By Jessica Firger On 03/19/17 at 8:50 AM EDT
Artist Daniel Curry (a.k.a. Lil Dan) at P.ink Day 2016, an event held at Black Lotus Tattoo Gallery in Maryland on October 9, 2016. Jim O'Connor/P.ink.
Tech & Science Tattoos Cancer Art
For most of her life, Heather Lee didn't dwell on the appearance of her breasts. They were simply an occasionally functional part of her anatomy; they fed her four children as newborns and required occasional shopping for sartorial support. But after being diagnosed with breast cancer in March 2015 and undergoing a double mastectomy, the 40-year-old recently divorced mother feared she'd be left with breasts that resembled "overripe avocados."
"The way I explained it to my friends is when I looked in the mirror I didn't want to think, OK, those look almost like boobs," says Lee, a lawyer in Birmingham, Alabama. "I wanted to look in the mirror and think, I'm a badass."
Lee elected to have both breasts surgically removed—one prophylactically—in order to lower her risk for cancer recurrence, as well as to avoid taking Tamoxifen for 10 years, a drug infamous for menopausal-like side effects that can greatly diminish a woman's quality of life after cancer. The surgeon also told her a double mastectomy would mean "better symmetry," she says. But nipple-sparing surgery wasn't an option for Lee. The margins of her breast biopsy showed malignant cells were near the edge, so preserving some of the tissue might make it more likely that the cancer could return. That meant saving the nipples and areolas for reconstruction—a now relatively common practice—would be too risky.
Lee says she opted for breast implants that would "look normal in clothes and a swimsuit." But she didn't return for the follow-up procedure, when a cosmetic surgeon manipulates the skin on the breast mounds to create the appearance of nipples. She also skipped the medical tattoos, the final touch in breast reconstruction to give pigment to the nipple area and create the appearance of areolas. Fake nipples didn't appeal to Lee, and a little Googling prompted her to decide she wanted real ink.

A New Trauma Therapy for Treating the 'Untreatable'
Most breast cancer patients who undergo a mastectomy are told by their doctors that they have just two options once treatment and surgery are completed: reconstruction or no reconstruction. But when Lee happened upon David Allen, a Chicago-based tattoo artist, she found a third: mastectomy tattoos. Allen, who has developed an almost cult-like following among breast cancer survivors, had an entire page on his website filled with photos of women's breasts covered with scar-concealing tattoos. He's one of just a handful of tattoo artists in the U.S. helping women reclaim their bodies and their lives after breast cancer in a less conventional and less medicalized way.
Many people get tattoos to mark a milestone: the birth of a child, the death of a loved one, an anniversary and, of course, the end of a serious and life-threatening illness. But for breast cancer survivors, mastectomy tattoos can be far more powerful. They not only symbolize an escape from death, but also conceal scars and minimize the appearance of disfigurement. If done well, they can make looking in the mirror a positive experience once again, or at least more bearable.
Lee loved Allen's illustrations. They were of flowers but not the cloying, trashy variety. His were monotone slate-gray, pointillist in detail, almost ethereal. The tattoos swooped around the fold of the breasts and lay on the area where nipples would be. In many of the photos, it was nearly impossible to make out any trace of the incision scars. Lee reached out right away and began exchanging emails with Allen's assistant.

"Nothing I saw ever seemed right until I saw some pictures of real tattoos," says Lee, who traveled to Chicago with a friend in October for her tattoos. The Southerner settled on magnolias for a flower design like the ones her grandparents used to have in their front yard. "I think they're beautiful instead of seeing scars and thinking about what I've been through and the pain."
Allen recently published an essay in JAMA detailing his tattoo process for mastectomy clients. He chose to tell his story in a medical journal rather than a mainstream publication because he hopes oncologists and surgeons will come to see mastectomy tattoos as a viable option for their patients. But Allen, 37 years old, says the tattoo industry needs to be educated as well by doctors; breast cancer survivors have unique physical and psychological needs that require an artist to have a good bedside manner and some medical knowledge.
Allen, who has a background in graphic art, stumbled into this work in 2011, when a teacher in New York City who had undergone a double mastectomy approached him. In addition to the weighty nature of the assignment, he was worried about the health and safety risks that could arise for the client. Scar tissue and skin exposed to radiation is far more delicate and reacts differently to tattoo ink. "I wasn't quite sure the best technique, and there's not a lot of information out there. I just tried to avoid it, but she was persistent," he says. "This is a rough area to tattoo."
Six years have passed, and Allen has left his mark on some 70 breast cancer survivors, with many women traveling from overseas to see him, including women from the U.K., Argentina and India. Most of the women he works on have had a single or double mastectomy with implants. But there are some women who stopped at mastectomy and simply want to conceal the surgical scars on their chest walls. Most of the women who seek out Allen are over 50 and don't have any other body art. That may seem old for procuring a first tattoo until one remembers the median age for a breast cancer diagnosis is around 62, according to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Reconstructive Surgery on the Rise
It helps Allen's cause that rates of breast cancer reconstructive surgery continue to rise. A report released in 2016 by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons found the number of patients who opt for reconstructive surgery after breast cancer treatment has increased 35 percent between 2000 and 2012. Doctors today are also much more likely to recommend mastectomy over breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) both for medical and cosmetic reasons. (In many instances, a surgeon can improve a patient's silhouette to her liking, whether that means reconstructing breasts that are larger than the originals or reversing the droopiness that comes with childbearing and age.)
Additionally, undergoing reconstructive surgery with implants is no longer considered merely vain or a luxury. Health policy legislation passed nearly 20 years ago requires health insurance companies pay for reconstructive surgery as part of routine treatment for the disease. Genetic testing, such as the one that can detect mutations to the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes that indicate higher risk for certain types of breast cancer, mean more young women are going under the knife for prevention.
Some say rates of prophylactic double mastectomy increased thanks to what many call the "Angelina Jolie effect." In 2013, the actress and director went public with her decision to undergo a preventive mastectomy after learning she carried BRCA mutations, and she inspired many other young women with higher genetic risk for cancer to do the same. Younger women can be especially concerned about scar visibility and often worry the reconstructed breasts will never look normal. The solution, perhaps, is to make them something entirely different. It also helps that body art has gone mainstream. Tattoos, like breast cancer, are no longer a taboo topic.
P.ink Pairs Artists, Subjects
Women find Allen on the internet but also through P.ink (Personal Ink), a nonprofit founded in 2013 that matches breast cancer survivors with tattoo artists who have experience with mastectomy tattoos. The organization, founded by Noel Franus, started off as a Pinterest page. Franus has never had tattoos, cancer or breasts, but he was inspired after his sister-in-law underwent breast cancer surgery and began soliciting her family members for ideas of what she could have tattooed on her new breasts other than trompe l'oeil nipples. "No one was talking about it online unless you were a huge tattoo enthusiast," says Franus. "You might find one or two artists inside the forum, but what about the mother in Topeka or the grandmother who lives in rural Texas?"
The tattoo artists that are part of his network do work in-kind on P.ink Days, held once a year in October since 2014. So far, tattoo shops in 25 cities have participated, and collectively they've inked some 175 breast cancer survivors. The organization also covers the cost of mastectomy tattoos on a case-by-case basis and pays the full cost. (Depending on the complexity and scale of the art, a mastectomy tattoo can cost anywhere from $200 to more than $2,000.) There are currently 1,500 breast cancer survivors on P.ink's waitlist.
The solution to meet this growing demand, Franus says, is to find more tattoo artists interested in the work, especially in other countries, since many survivors who contact the organization don't live in the U.S. But getting tattooists ready for the task is challenging. "We still need more trained artists," says Franus. "It involves sitting down and working side-by-side with an artist who knows how to do this work."
It also means encouraging doctors and surgeons to be actively involved and make mastectomy tattoos an option in the recovery process. Allen has made inroads to the medical community. He says he now regularly talks to plastic surgeons by phone, sometimes even before a patient goes under the knife. The variety of surgical techniques can influence the quality of tattoo art, so planning ahead allows the client to receive his best work. "I need to know as much as possible," he says. "I need to know if they had flap surgery or if the surgeon pulled from the latissimus dorsi."
Allen is also highly selective about which clients to take on and when. For example, he won't work with a woman unless it's been a year since her surgery. That's not only for medical reasons but also because he has found that survivors are often not emotionally ready for the process any earlier.
A few years ago, a woman came to see Allen. It had been several years since she'd had surgery, and she was ready. Allen was preparing to apply the stencil on her breasts to create the outline for her tattoo, but when he began to touch the woman, she started to weep. She told him her husband had left her because of her illness, and she hadn't been close to a man in years. Allen stopped his work. Instead, they sat at his shop and talked for two hours. "I wanted to hear her story," he says. "I wanted her to know that the emotion she was feeling was more important than getting a tattoo." The client returned three months later for her tat.

Cavaliers Fall to #3 Duke 5-1
Virginia's Allison Flynn laid a perfect pass upfield to Lindsey O'Bannon, and O'Bannon touched it forward before scoring in today's contest against #3 Duke, but the Cavaliers still fell to the Blue Devils 5-1 in the ACC quarterfinals today in College Park. Katherine Blair made 10 saves in the contest, including one on a penalty flick in the twelfth minute to keep the Blue Devils off the scoreboard.
After a flurry in front of the cage, Duke drew a penalty flick, the first called against the Cavaliers in 2005. Blair was more than up to the task, denying the low attempt to her left, keeping the score tied at 0-0 in the 12th minute of play.
The Blue Devils (15-3) scored twice in the opening period and then notched a pair of direct short corner goals in the second half before scoring a fifth goal in the 61st minute to take a 5-0 lead.
The Cavaliers answered as Erin Hayes sent a pass from the backfield up to Katie Phillips, who started a break. Phillips passed the ball up to Flynn, who eluded a defender and sent a lead pass up to O'Bannon, who was in the circle. O'Bannon touched the ball forward, got around the Duke keeper, and slammed the ball into the open cage with 19 seconds to play in the contest.

Pat Signal: Samuel Okunlola commits to Pitt
The four-star defensive end chose Pitt over more than 50 other programs
By Mike Wilson Dec 15, 2021, 4:19pm EST

Pitt made a splash on national signing day, as the program landed the commitment of Samuel Okunlola, a defensive end out of Thayer Academy in Braintree, Massachusetts, on Wednesday afternoon. The defensive end chose Pitt over more than 50 other programs, including 28 from the Power Five.
The 6'4", 225-pound recruit holds a four-star rating from Rivals as well as three-star ratings from 247Sports and ESPN. Rivals considers Okunlola the No. 19 weak-side defensive end in the country, while 247Sports ranks him as the No. 105 edge defender and ESPN places him at No. 69 among defensive ends.
Okunlola revealed his decision during a ceremony in Thayer Academy's Alumni Gym. Some of the other programs in the running to land Okunlola included Auburn, Clemson, Colorado, Florida State, Georgia, Michigan, Ole Miss, Nebraska, Oregon, Penn State, Texas, USC, Virginia and West Virginia. However, the front-runners appeared to be Colorado, Georgia, Pitt and Virginia, as those were the only four schools Okunlola visited.
Although many of the top programs in college football pursued Okunlola over the last couple of years, he had a clear vision of what he wanted in a school, and Pitt ultimately proved to be a better fit for him than the others.
"You don't want to go to a school just because it's a big-name school," Okunlola told Greg Dudek of the Enterprise in August. "I kind of have the right approach about this, about this process. It's definitely bigger than me going to school for a jersey. It's all about going to a school where I think I can maximize my ability and all that as a student and athlete."
At Pitt, Okunlola will have an opportunity to play a key role in an elite defensive line unit that has ranked among the top two teams in the nation in sacks and the top 10 in tackles for losses in each of the last three years. He will also be surrounded by elite talent, as he will play alongside former blue-chip recruits Elliot Donald, Dorien Ford and Dayon Hayes on the Pitt defensive line in the coming years.

After a year of partnership, Joe started to feel uneasy. Brian refused to invest in newer equipment and Joe worried that memberships would continue a downward trend. Occasionally, Brian was late or didn't show up at all. Joe worried that Brian's lack of commitment was causing the business to get a bad name.
When Joe got a chance to ask about it, Brian explained that the men were probably referring to a decision to buy kettle balls directly from him instead of a manufacturer. But Joe's suspicion was on high alert. Even if he was selling sports equipment, that should be part of the business, not Brian's alone on the side. Joe had a wife and a newborn daughter at home. He couldn't afford to lose the money invested in Brian's gym.
With surveillance equipment available for both video and audio recording, the first step was to install cameras in the appropriate locations throughout the gym such as the weightlifting area and the snack/refreshment areas. Locker rooms and office areas were outfitted with listening devices as well.
An investigator posed as a new member and correlated his visits with the times that surveillance showed Brian would be in the facility. Personal electronic surveillance devices were used to record conversation between the investigator and Brian.
Joe also supplied the computer used in the office for a forensic computer analysis. Using sophisticated data mining software and data extraction software, the computer forensic specialist was able to find emails and files that revealed the business Brian was doing – it wasn't gym memberships and it wasn't kettle bells, either. He was selling steroids.
Although Joe was suspicious, he hadn't expected news like this. But with the evidence provided to him, he was able to contact an attorney and come to a settlement with Brian to dissolve the partnership and become sole owner of the gym.

Letters to the President #573: "A book and its cover"
Tom Foreman | BIO
AC360° Correspondent
Reporter's Note: President Obama has to rely on a lot of other folks to put his policies into place. It's kind of like moving when you're young and you call some friends to help carry the boxes. But, in lawmaking, like moving, you've got to be a little careful whose company you keep. Especially if one of them might start saying things to annoy the neighbors.
[cnn-photo-caption image=http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2010/images/01/11/art.reid9.gi.jpg]
Senate Majority Leader, and your fellow Democrat, Harry Reid said something last week that I think was ill-considered at best, and insulting at worst. I know that Republicans have jumped all over him on this matter, and I'm not taking their side, but I've heard this sort of thing before from people in both political parties and it really bugs me. (Not quite like the bed bug infestation they are fighting in New York, but still.)
In case you missed it, Sen. Reid said "I don't know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican."
Really? To me, a cornerstone of respect for the rights and opinions of others is recognizing that their ideas are determined by more than their skin color or heritage. It's just that simple. Imagine how demeaning it would be to say, "I don't see how any woman could be against abortion rights." Or "I don't see how any gay or lesbian could have supported John McCain." Or "I don't see how any African American person could have voted against President Obama." I can understand that people who have strong beliefs may find it puzzling that others disagree with them. But just looking at someone's family tree and pronouncing that person all boxed up based on your expectations is unfair.
In each case, the statements above are inflammatory precisely because they say this one part of a person, his or her skin color, or gender, or sexual identity, should trump all of that soul's other thoughts; they should be simply automatons, swinging on the issues exactly and 100 percent as expected. Sure, that would be convenient for Washington, but if that's the way it's going to be, why have people vote at all? Let's just look at the Census, run the numbers, and call it done. "But wait, I live in a largely Republican area, I'm white, I make plenty of money and I want to vote Democratic!' "Sorry, pal. As the district goes, so go you."
On top of that, hasn't the whole struggle for equality in this country, by any number of groups, also been a fight against stereotypes?
Again, I'm not laying this all at the door of the gentleman from Nevada. I'm just saying politicians and activists of all types underestimate how much they can infuriate all of us, by making such sweeping statements about any of us. So if you get a moment, you might want to give him a call. But not very late because he's getting kind of old, and I don't see how a man his age could be up past nine o'clock. Ha! See what I mean?
Hope you make it home from the quick vacation in the Gulf well. Did you have some good seafood? "It's the best, Jerry, the best!"

Sorry Tom, its a sort of constitutional thing called freedom of speech. Or I can quote The philospher Rousseau, who wrote:-
"I may disagree with eveything you say, but I will defend until death your right to say it."
Then unfortunately, I have to say every day there are so many things said by Media, politicians and others in America which show gross insensitivity, a complete lack of la Joie de vie, any kind of esprit de corp or civility. Wish you were not " correct" but you are flogging the proverbial dead horse, it is part of the American way.

M.S. Educational Leadership, Administrative Certification, Lehigh University
Superintendent's Letter, Arcadia University
M.S. Education, Holy Family
B.S. Business Administration,
Tim McKenna
President, Central High School
School of District Philadelphia
"The Neubauer Fellowship was a powerful learning experience for me as a leader. Working with colleagues from Philadelphia and national experts in education opened my eyes to my leadership strengths and areas where I needed to grow. I am a better leader because of the learning opportunities that the Neubauer Fellowship provided me."
Timothy (Tim) has served as President of Central High School, Philadelphia's oldest public school, since 2012. Under his leadership as the school's 14th President, Central High School earned recognition from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the School District of Philadelphia for its continued excellence in academics. In 2013, Central won the Governor's Award for Academic Excellence and is annually recognized with the highest possible overall rating ("City Leader") on the School District of Philadelphia School Progress Report (SPR). In 2019 Central was again recognized as a Model School by the SPR with an overall score of 85.
Tim has been an educator since 1996. Prior to his role at Central, Tim was Principal at Furness High School (2008 – 2012) and led the school to a 10% increase in average daily attendance growth and meeting Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements. In addition, Tim was Principal at Frances Willard Elementary School (2006 – 2008), during which Willard Elementary achieved 20% gains in reading and 30% gains in math state assessment scores.
Tim's professional honors include the Schoolmen's Club of Philadelphia Martin Glassman Commitment to Education Award (2018), the Philadelphia Public League Coaches Association's Administrator of the Year award (2009-2010), and ASPIRA, Inc. of Pennsylvania's High School "Principal of the Year" award (2009-2010). Prior to becoming a principal, Tim served as reading specialist, school-based teacher leader, and teacher. Tim grew up in Philadelphia and attended St. Joseph's Preparatory School.


Meeting leading German experts of your own choice in individual appointments to personally discuss your research and lay the foundation for future collaborations.
As part of the Science Forum, the Green Talents moreover get the unique chance to visit German sustainability experts of their choice and discuss their current research with them. To nominate these experts is already an essential part of the application to the programme. The selected interlocutors are contacted by the organisers of the forum, who provide information about the young researchers, make appointments and plan accommodation and transport for the participants. Travelling on their own during those 2-3 days, the Green Talents are equipped with detailed descriptions of how to find their way around, using public transportation.
The individual appointments form a crucial part of the Science Forum. Offered the rare opportunity to specifically talk about projects and potential research collaborations with some of the brightest minds in the country, the possibility of a BMBF-funded research stay in Germany the year after the forum might serve as a valuable starting point. This is why the applicants should chose their experts wisely and – if selected as one of the 25 Green Talents – should prepare themselves very well for these individual meetings. Visiting the experts in their respective facilities can already provide the awardees with a first impression of what working and researching in Germany could be like. Moreover, they make important contacts and expand their professional network.

Theresa May has her worst week as Home Secretary…yet is back as Party members' top choice for next leader
Follow @PaulGoodmanCH
Peter Franklin: Don't write off the possibility of Hillary Clinton re-running for President
Nicholas Boys Smith: Why the journey to more homes runs through South Tottenham
The second loss of a child abuse enquiry Chairman. A backbench backlash over the European Arrest Warrant – which isn't all that popular in Downing Street or the Whips' Office either. Revelations of enough illegal immigrants undeported "to fill Wembley Stadium almost five times over". Politicians described as having had their "worst week ever" have seldom actually had it. But it is hard to think of a worse one than last week for Theresa May – notwithstanding Norman Baker's welcome resignation.
Yet here she is – back on top of our monthly poll future Party leader poll. What is going on?
I think the best place to begin looking for an answer lies in the figures for previous months. Her last five scores have been 35, 30, 27, 25 per cent and, last month, 24 per cent – the same score as this month.
This is a story of the Home Secretary hitting a high in the poll after her astonishingly direct speech to the Police Federation and falling afterwards…before plateauing out.
Her rival for the top spot all year has been Boris Johnson. What's been happening to his ratings?
For the Mayor, we have scores of 21, 18, 19, 27 and 22 per cent. His recent peak was after his declaration of intent to return to the Commons.
The movement between this month and last is thus is margin-of-error stuff – a tribute, in its way, to the consistency of the poll. May and Boris have been battling it out all year for the top spot: no-one else has got a look in since January, and Boris was the long-time leader in the survey before that. Before the start of 2014, Party member readers seemed to think that there was no other convincing contender around.
There are two ways of viewing the Home Secretary's performance in the poll this year. The first is that those Party members readers think that she's doing a good job in a legendarily disaster-vulnerable department. I set out some of the reasons for believing so on this site last week. The second is that she is a workmanlike front-runner in a lacklustre field. You must take your pick.
The rest of the ratings see Michael Gove moving back up to third – perhaps a consequence of the accomplished way he has taken to the role of Chief Whip. George Osborne is fourth and Sajid Javid fifth. David Davis is sixth – his lowest standing in the poll in my time as Editor of this site. But all these are also-rans: at present, this part of the survey is a two-horse race. Here are the scores in full:
Theresa May: 24 per cent.
Boris Johnson: 22 per cent.
Michael Gove: 11 per cent.
George Osborne: 10 per cent.
Sajid Javid: 9 per cent.
David Davis: 8 per cent.
Owen Paterson: 6 per cent.
Philip Hammond: 5 per cent.
Jeremy Hunt: 2 per cent.
Liam Fox: 2 per cent.
Chris Grayling: 1 per cent.

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters R
Fifteen years after nearly being roasted and eaten by the witch who lured them into her gingerbread house, siblings Hansel and Gretel (Jeremy Renner, Gemma Arterton) have grown into attractive young adults fond of monstrous weapons and killing evil witches. Famke Janssen plays the witch they escaped as children, and she's grown more powerful than ever and is stalking the pair. Re-imagined fairytales are horror's hot new trend, but the films are a mixed bag of hits and misses. Declining to screen Hansel and Gretel for the press is a bad omen, but on the plus side—the film's casting is rad! (Lisa Miller)
Parker R
Jason Statham appears as Parker, one of those moral thieves sporting the elegant credo, "Don't steal from people who can't afford it and don't hurt people who don't deserve it." Led by the film's other shaved head (Michael Chiklis), Parker's crew steals his stash and leaves him for dead. Of course Parker isn't dead—and his crew is now precisely the sort he steals from and hurts! Fast-forward to Palm Beach, Fla., where Parker recruits a crooked, beautiful real estate agent (Jennifer Lopez), and disguises himself as a rich Texan in order to do unto his crew what they did to him. So maybe the film doesn't have an original bone in its body, but it must have something going for it if Lopez took time off from singing, hawking her perfume and making nice as a contestant judge—to pursue her fourth best talent.

A retired teacher and political analyst on the Copper belt has called on government to publish the 1964 Independence speech delivered by then President Dr.Kenneth Kaunda.
Mr. Humphrey Ngulube told ZANIS in Ndola that the first Independence speech delivered in 1964 is important because it spelt out vision convictions and values that the founding fathers cherished and were determined to achieve in an independent Zambia.
He said the vision of where the first leaders wanted to take Zambia must have been at he core of the speech and revisiting the speech to remind the nation of the content and intent of independence would rejuvenate the passion and the commitment to the country.
Mr. Ngulube said Dr. Kaunda and his first cabinet must have packaged a well thought out and elaborate vision and roadmap for a prosperous, self governing and independent Zambia.
He said independence celebrations should not lose their initial determination and zeal that the founding fathers started with though many of them have passed on.
Mr. Ngulube cited another speech of great value as the one delivered by the then Northern Rhodesia Governor Sir Roy Welensky, whose contents, he said, should remind Zambians of the right spirit with which power exchanged hands from the minority white settler rulers to indigenous leaders at the time.
He said it was the same spirit of peace and nationhood that compelled the First Republican President Dr. Kenneth Kaunda to smoothly handover power to Dr. Chiluba in 1991 which should be upheld even in future exchanges of power.
Mr. Ngulube added that Independence celebrations should not be linked to lack of food or jobs in the country because independence was about being patriotic as one people in the management of land issues.
He said Mr. Nelson Mandela of South Africa had to endure the 27 years in prison not because of lack of food and jobs in South Africa as the country was already prosperous in all areas but the issues was land ownership.
Mr. Ngulube added that Zambians ought to be proud of their country and strengthen their national identity as one people united to overcome their national challenges in every field.

What is realism in legal philosophy?
2020-11-04 by Chase Collins
A theory that all law derives from prevailing social interests and public policy. According to this theory, judges consider not only abstract rules, but also social interests and public policy when deciding a case.
What is an example of legal realism?
For example, JEROME FRANK, who coined the term legal realism and later became a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, emphasized the psychological foundation of judicial decision making, arguing that a judge's decision may be influenced by mundane things like what he or she ate for breakfast.
Why is legal realism important?
In contrast, "legal realism" is the concept that the law, as a maleable and pliable body of guidelines, should be enforced creatively and liberally in order that the law serves good public policy and social interests. Legal realists see the legal world as a means to promote justice and the protection of human rights.
What is American Realism in jurisprudence?
American realism is a combination of the analytical positivism and sociological approaches. It is positivist in that it first considers the law as it is. In as much as the realists are interested in sociological and other factors that influence the law. Their concern, however, law rather than society.
What are the rules of realism?
Realists believe that there are no universal principles with which all states may guide their actions. Instead, a state must always be aware of the actions of the states around it and must use a pragmatic approach to resolve problems as they arise.
What is the main idea of legal realism?
Legal realism is a naturalistic approach to law. It is the view that jurisprudence should emulate the methods of natural science, i.e., rely on empirical evidence. Hypotheses must be tested against observations of the world.
What is the difference between American realism and Scandinavian realism?
Scandinavian Legal Realism was a version of legal positivism, seeking a strict separation between law and politics and law and morality. American Legal Realism, on the other hand, was an extension of political Progressivism, insisting that law is deeply infused with questions of power.
What are the examples of realism?
Here are some examples of novels that helped to shape this literary movement:
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Mark Twain)
House of Mirth (Edith Wharton)
The Jungle (Upton Sinclair)
The Red Badge of Courage (Stephen Crane)
Daisy Miller (Henry James)
The Call of the Wild (Jack London)
Middlemarch (George Eliot)
What is the difference between formalism and realism?
Formalism. All film exists on a spectrum from realist (an almost literal copy of the real world with all its traits and rules) to formalist (highly stylized films in which anything goes).
What is the concept of American and Scandinavian realism?
The approach of the Scandinavian realists towards law is more abstract and philosophical, unlike that of American Realism. It strongly criticizes the metaphysical ideas of law. Scandinavian realists have played an important role in rejecting the ideas of the school of natural law.

U.S. Premiere of 'Glasstress' Showcases The Work of Leading International Artists in Collaboration With Venetian Glass Masters

Sala Longhi, by Fred Wilson (2011). Glass and wood.
Some of the world's leading contemporary artists have been invited to breathe new life into centuries-old glassmaking in Venice ― maestros of glassblowing from the legendary Berengo Studio residency help artists manifest their visions.
A new exhibition features 34 artists in the glass collaboration, including Ai Weiwei, Fred Wilson, Joyce J. Scott, Jimmie Durham, Ugo Rondinone, Fiona Banner, Vik Muniz, Monica Bonvicini, Jake & Dinos Chapman, Laure Prouvost, Renate Bertlmann, Thomas Schütte, Loris Gréaud, and Erwin Wurm. Several represented their countries at the Venice Biennale.
"There is every reason this year to have a world view," says Irvin Lippman, the Boca Raton Museum of Art's Executive Director, as South Florida ushers in the new year with the national premiere of Glasstress 2021 Boca Raton.
"Three years in the making, with 2020 being such a challenging year to coordinate an international exhibition of this size and scope, the effort serves as an important reassurance that art is an essential and enduring part of humanity."
"This is also a tribute to the resilience of Venice's surviving the floods and continuing to make art through the pandemic," adds Irvin Lippman.
Most of these works in glass have never been seen elsewhere, and were handpicked by Kathleen Goncharov, the Boca Raton Museum's Senior Curator who traveled to Italy in 2019.
The new exhibition runs January 27 through September 5, 2021 and the museum will feature online initiatives for virtual viewing. Watch the video here featuring interviews with some of the artists in the new exhibition.
The 34 artists in this new, never before seen edition of Glasstress were all invited by Adriano Berengo to work alongside his master glass artisans at the Berengo Studio on the island of Murano in the Venetian lagoon. Watch the new video at youtu.be/LSztp-DAODE
With incredible energy, the Studio has brought a new vision on how to stimulate today's leading artists into thinking how the medium of glass can be made into dramatic and provocative works of contemporary art.
Detail of Glass Big Brother, Song Dong (2015). Glass and metal.
Some of the works were created during the pandemic lockdowns, with artists collaborating remotely via Zoom with their glass artisan partners after initial on-site work at the studio in Venice.
"Unlike the past and the present, what comes next for our world presents itself as constant possibility, always transforming as we move forward in time," says Adriano Berengo. "This concept of transformation has always held an affinity with glass, a medium which – as the name Glasstress suggests – exists in a state of constant tension. Life needs tension, it needs energy, and a vibrant exchange of ideas."
The exhibition presents 34 new works that explore some of today's pressing subjects, including human rights, climate change, racial justice, gender issues and politics. The Boca Raton Museum of Art has dedicated more than 6,500 square feet of exhibition space to this collection. A fully illustrated catalogue is also available.
The mission of Glasstress is to restore the visibility and reputation of Murano glass, after decades of closures of ancient, centuries-old glass furnaces. Instead of creating decorative objects with glass, these artists are invited to create original works, often on a massive scale.
The artists collaborate with glass masters whose expertise has been developed over generations in Venice. Most of these artists have never worked with glass, so they unite their artistic ideas with the technical expertise of their skilled collaborators.
"We have brought Glasstress to countries around the world for ten years, seeking to expand and enliven international awareness of the variety and richness of contemporary artists using glass in their creative practices," adds Adriano Berengo.
"In the past, its place in the art world might have seemed uncertain. But now in this latest edition of Glasstress, the first after a global pandemic, one thing we know for certain: glass endures. Life is fragile, just as glass is fragile, yet in this fragility there is also strength."

The results are breathtaking. The first installation visitors to the Museum will encounter is Sala Longhi by Fred Wilson. He created this series at Berengo Studio after the Biennale exhibited his work about Black residents of Venice from the Renaissance to the present.
This installation features an ornate white chandelier with 29 glass panels that mirror 18th-century Venetian artist Pietro Longhi's paintings. Instead of canvases, Wilson shows the viewer only the whites of the eyes of his Black subjects through cutouts in black reflective glass.
Ai Weiwei worked at the Berengo studio in Venice on his glass sculpture Blossom Chandelier. The large-scale installation bursts with unexpected shapes emanating from white glass flowers to surprise the eye: menacing handcuffs, twitter birds, security cameras, and the artist's hands flashing his middle finger (the latter is his angry response to the Chinese government that imprisoned him).
This show also unveils the museum's new acquisition for its collection, created in the Berengo Studio – Glass Big Brother, a sculpture by Song Dong, one of contemporary Chinese art's leading figures.
"Certainly, this chandelier sculpture by Song Dong with its glass-blown surveillance cameras, is both poetic and poignant," says Irvin Lippman. "It was commissioned by the Museum to hang in our new Wolgin Education Center front windows that face pedestrians walking across Mizner Park." The large-scale ceiling installation is 11 feet long and reaches all the way to the floor. Thirty surveillance cameras are ensconced from top to bottom, looking out at all directions around the chandelier.
The installation Rosemarie's Divorce, by Renate Bertlmann, unites aspects from Rosemarie's Baby (1983), her multi-part installation about the ambivalent relationship between mother and child, and Discordo Ergo Sum, a field of knife-roses she exhibited at the Venice Biennale in 2019. The monstrously enlarged glass pacifier is an image she has used since the mid-1970s referencing sexuality and motherhood. It is flanked by two knife-roses made of deep black glass.

The Italian artist Monica Bonvicini's deeply psychological work addresses themes of sexuality, power, and relationships in male-oriented domains. Her visits to sadomasochist nightclubs with Gay male friends are the inspiration for Bonded. She won the prestigious Golden Lion award at the 1999 Venice Biennale.
DNA HAS NO COLOR is a new statement from Nancy Burson that is a powerful work about the illegitimacy of racism. This is a continuation of the project that Zaha Hadid commissioned Burson to develop for the London Millennium Dome. Burson is known for biology-related work, including her use of cutting edge facial morphing technology for art that shows what individuals would look like as a different race.
The Glasstress furnace in Venice blazes behind the artist Monica Bonvicini as she works on her glass sculpture Bonded.
The Pandemic Oculus, (2020), is by Tim Tate, whose work explores the worlds of loss, memory, recovery, and hope. As an HIV-positive man, he lived through the worst of the AIDS epidemic during the 1980s and 1990s, and now through the current pandemic. In the museum's exhibition catalogue, the artist states that Pandemic Oculus also honors the many unsung heroes around the world: nurses, teachers, essential employees, grandparents caring for children so that parents can work, and so many more.
Tate is the co-founder of the Washington Glass Studio in Washington, DC. He is also the co-moderator, along with William Warmus, of the 21st Century Glass group on Facebook, which has shared and discussed over 10,000 images of sculptural glass from around the world.
The Pandemic Oculus, Tim Tate (2020), Glass.
Erwin Wurm's wry sense of humor permeates his most famous works and has served him well in creating a poignant cultural commentary throughout his career. Wurm produced this triad in cold hard glass at the Berengo Studio. They are smaller versions of the massive bronze sculpture of a hot water bottle with legs, Big Mutter, that he created for the Venice Biennale in 2020. In the exhibition catalogue, the show's curator Kathleen Goncharov describes these "mothers" as neither warm nor comforting . . . their stubby little legs imply flight when called upon to be caregivers.
Mutter, Erwin Wurm (2018), Glass.
At the Berengo Studio, Jimmie Durham created a series of eight giant cougar heads suspended on metal armatures. Caught in suspension as they gaze at one another, their collective roar remains frozen between them. The cougar is one of the most sacred animals in Cherokee mythology, and the influence of Native-American culture vs. Western rationalism is evident in his work. The artist's long trajectory includes his work during the civil rights movement and as a political organizer for the American Indian Movement. In 2019, Durham was the recipient of the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement award at the 58th Venice Biennale.
In the museum's exhibition catalogue, curator Kathleen Goncharov describes Prune Nourry as no stranger to illness . . . her work always dealing with science and bioethics from a feminist perspective, a focus that has intensified since her breast cancer diagnosis in 2018. At the Berengo Studio, she created River Woman, a transparent skeletal sculpture based on an anatomical drawing of the human vascular system. While its form may be human, the arteries resemble rivers, streams and trees that suffer in their own way too, from human abuse rather than disease.
Ugo Rondinone represented his home country in the Swiss Pavilion at the 52nd Venice Biennale (2007). In this work, the twelve glass horses cast in beautiful shades of blue all face different directions, creating delicate light games with their reflections and shadows in continuous motion. In the context of this installation, the reappearing motif of a horse (which has a long tradition in the history of art), evokes alienation and a subversive twist emblematic of Rondinone's works.

My name is Tammy...I write songs with a jazz flavor for singers and musicians to perform and record. My first CD "Don't Say You're Hot When You're Not" contains eleven selections with a jazz quintet, and five specialty songs. My second CD "Fancy Free" (see below) includes 18 songs featuring sambas, bossas, ballads, and swing tunes, with seven very creative and seasoned musicians including Eric Verlinde-keyboards, Paul Gabrielson-bass, Marty Tuttle-drums, Jeff Busch-percussion, a guest singer, and three guest soloists.

French voters couldn't be more divided on the major issues of the day, election results proved Sunday, as Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen were the top vote-getters in the presidential election that will send them to a runoff next month.
Should the fiery Le Pen win the runoff next month, it could spell the end of the European Union, the euro and turn the nation in a "France first" direction. Macron is considered more of a centrist who would continue most of the policies of the past.
With final votes being counted, Macron leads Le Pen with 23.8 percent of the vote to 21.6.
The projected outcome capped an extraordinary few months for a deeply divided France, which saw a campaign full of twists and turns and a movement away from traditional parties.
The French vote was being closely watched as a bellwether for populist sentiment following the election of Donald Trump in the U.S. and Britain's vote to leave the EU.
Le Pen and Macron were considered the front-runners, according to most polls. If the trend continues, they will head to a run-off May 7.
The vote took place under heavy security after the killing on Thursday of a policeman on Paris' Champs Elysees avenue claimed by the Islamic State group.
Thursday's shooting on the most famous street in Paris was the latest in a bloody series of terror attacks that have cost more than 230 lives since 2015.
Nearly 47 million people were eligible to vote in the eurozone's second biggest economy.
Le Pen rode the growing wave of disaffection with globalism in the West that carried Trump to the White House and led Britain to vote for Brexit She has vowed to abandon the euro, hold a referendum on withdrawing from the EU and adopt a French-first policy on jobs, immigration and housing.
Closely watched around the world, the French campaign has been full of twists and turns.

This is the recipe I use to take the mystery out of jam-making at my cookery school. Students are astonished and delighted to discover that they can make yummy jam in just a few minutes. It's also worth noting that you can make as much or as little jam as you wish - if you have just a punnet of fruit, weigh it, then simply add the same amount of sugar as fruit. To really dazzle friends, pop a few scones in the oven before you start - the jam will be cooked by the time the scones are cool enough to eat.
Wash and dry the jars, then sterilise. Heat the sugar in the oven along with the jars for 5-10 minutes.
Put the raspberries into a wide stainless-steel pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until the juices begin to run, then add the hot sugar and stir over a gentle heat until dissolved.
Increase the heat and boil for 5 minutes, stirring frequently until at setting point. To test, place 1 teaspoon jam on a cold plate and leave for a few minutes in a cool place; it should wrinkle when pressed with a finger. If not, cook for a little longer until it reaches setting point.
Remove the pan from the heat immediately and add the cassis, if using. Skim off any froth and carefully pour the jam into the sterilised jars. Cover immediately.
Store the jam in a cool, dry cupboard or larder away from direct light, and then feel great every time you look at it.


The article postulates a synergism between economic globalization and climate change. O'Brien (2000) says,since the Industrial Revolution, the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has been doubled. In the past century, the global mean surface temperature has increased by 0.3 - 0.6 ℃, and the sea level has risen from 10 cm to 25 cm. The author believes that this change is due to artificially sustained composition of the atmosphere and other human activities. The author also mentions a concept of double exposure. As O'Brien (2000) says, double exposure as the cases in which some particular regions, departments, or ecosystems is confronted by the influences of climate change and economic globalization.
The author's main conclusions include the following four aspects: first, he considers that there is not only a causal relationship between climate change and economic globalization, the relationship should be synergism. The author uses the following examples to explain the synergism: changes in the global warming will cause the changes in precipitation and dry climate conditions in different areas, which leads to changes in the economic structure of countries all over the world; since the Industrial Revolution, with the rapid growth of the world population, water consumption has increased quickly; what is more, water pollution also has become very serious. Anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases, such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have increased continuously, which will change the earth's atmospheric composition. Second, he reports that the synergism of climate change and economic globalization has complex impacts. The impacts they produce may cancel each other, or be superimposed on each other, resulting in the appearance of double winners and losers in both environmental and economic aspects. Third, in judging whether there are winners or losers, he thinks that it should not evaluate only from a certain aspect, but from economic, social and environmental aspects to evaluate and analyze. Finally, the author concludes that as economic globalization and climate change appear simultaneously, a policy may be able to address the negative impact of a certain aspect, but it may bring negative effects of another aspect. Thus we should be from an overall and long-term perspective to make policies to achieve better results. Although the author fails to explicitly put forward a concrete solution on global climate change, the author shows another novel idea: the environmental issue is not a single problem for every country. To solve the problem involves both political and economic aspects of a country. Facing the increasingly serious environmental problems, each country should balance the relationship among economic, social and environmental aspects.

Sindhu pulls out, Saina to lead Indian challenge at Macau Open
Tuesday, November 29th, 2016 at 11:22 AM
Macau: Star shuttler Saina Nehwal will spearhead the Indian challenge at the $120,000 Macau Open Grand Prix Gold badminton tournament, which starts here on Tuesday after defending champion P.V. Sindhu pulled out on Monday.
The Rio Olympics silver medalist was originally scheduled to take on China's Yue Han in the opening match of the tournament on Wednesday. Sindhu lost in the final of the Hong Kong Open on Sunday. But the Hyderabadi shuttler has withdrawn after paying back-to-back China Open and Hong Kong Open tournaments.
"No, she will not be playing in the Macau Open because she has played two back-to-back tournaments recently. So she needs rest before the BWF Superseries Final in Dubai," her father P.V. Ramana confirmed to IANS from Hyderabad.
The Dubai Superseries final will be played from December 14-18 where only the world's top eight players make the cut.
In Sindhu's absence her compatriot Saina Nehwal, who recovered from a knee surgery which affected her Olympic campaign three months back, will be the main Indian challenge in the women's singles. She also participated in recent Hong Kong Open in which she went till the quarter final stage, showing a steady improvement in her fitness.
The Hyderabadi shuttler will face Indonesia's Hanna Ramadini in the opening round.
In the men's singles category, Sameer Verma, who was in spotlight after reaching the finals at Hong Kong, is also participating in the tournament. He will take on Milan Ludik of Czech in the opening round.
Making a comeback after a long break, Parupalli Kashyap will also hope to shrug off the disappointment when he will take on Malaysia's Guo Zheng Sim. Among other Indians in the fray, third seeds Manu Attri and B. Sumeeth Reddy will face Hong Kong's Chan Alan Yun Lung and Li Kuen Hon in the men's doubles categories.
Jwala Gutta with Manu Attri will take on Satrya Aditha and Aprilsasi Putri Lejarsar Variella of Indonesia the mixed doubles category.

Images - They Shoot Horses, Don't They?
Horace McCoy is one of the great unheralded writers of the hard-boiled school. Most everyone has heard of Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, and James M. Cain, but McCoy's novels are rarely in print nowadays. One of his best novels, They Shoot Horses, Don't They? was widely regarded as a minor masterpiece upon its original release in 1935. But over the ensuing years it gradually disappeared from bookstore shelves. Maybe it was too bitter. Maybe it was too unrelenting in its depiction of a depression-era dance marathon.


Since there is no such thread here yet, I wanted to start discussion about using modded Google Camera from this thread on Nokia 8 (mostly what's best configuration and version).
I just downloaded the version on Apotide and I don't really see anything outstanding from the first look.
What are the main benefits of Google Camera vs stock Nokia?
Should I download a different version of Google Camera from somewhere?
Main benefit is better HDR algorithm and thus better photos in low light conditions. I also think that auto focus in Google Camera works better (it's easier to get focus on the point you want and it stays there until you take a photo) or something else that makes photos from Google Camera less blurry than ones from Nokia Camera.
As for the versions - since they are mostly made for OnePlus, some version work better, some worse with other smartphones as they contain modifications for specific models.
I really miss the HDR from Nokia / Microsoft Lumia.. The pictures were always amazing compared to my wife's iPhone.
Will give Google camera a proper test and see how it goes.
I finally got Oreo update and those colorful lines (artifacts) are gone, so it seems to be a bug on Nougat only.
Yes I noticed the colour artifacts are gone too. I have the BSC and Arnova apps both installed. I use the BSC app with high parameters for still or more detailed shots and the Arnova is my quicklaunch camera, set to 8mp with Motion Photos enabled and HDR parameters set to default. I also turn camera.faces and camera.shot_tracking on in developer settings.
HDR with the Google Camera app can yield spectacular results. A relative was out with me at a Christmas fayre yesterday evening and we both took a photo of a nice tree - him on his Samsung S8+ and me on my Nokia 8. Mine looked *loads* better.
Which version of Google Camera are you using? Original or a mod version?
Samsung S8+ on the right, Nokia 8 with Arnova Pixel APK on the left. No modifications.
BSC? Arnova? Never heard of either apps. Unless with BSC you mean B-S-G. Never mind, just didn't look at the OP closely enough.
Which apk version are you using? And are you on oreo?. I dont so the pink and blue artifacts on the bottom.
There are no artifacts in Oreo. I'm using Oreo.
