Florida Court rejects ADA claim based on website accessibility
January 23, 2017 By Richard Hunt in Accessibility Litigation Trends, ADA, ADA Internet, ADA Internet Web, ADA Web Access Tags: ADA Internet, ADA Internet Web "WCAG 2.0" regulations, ADA web access, Winn-Dixie
On January 17 the District Court for the Middle District of Florida flatly rejected an ADA claim based on a lack of website accessibility. The Court's explanation was straightforward:
"Regardless, Plaintiff may not claim a violation of Title III based on an internet website's accessibility. Neither Busch Gardens' nor SeaWorld's online website is a physical or public accommodation under the ADA. Access Now, Inc. v. Sw. Airlines, Co., 227 F. Supp. 2d 1312, 1321 (S.D. Fla. 2002). "[T]he internet is a unique medium—known to its users as 'cyberspace'—located in no particular geographical location but available to anyone, anywhere in the world, with access to the internet." See id. (internal quotation marks omitted). Hence, Plaintiff is unable to demonstrate that either Busch Gardens' or SeaWorld's online website prevents his access to "a specific, physical, concrete space such as a particular airline ticket counter or travel agency." See id. As a result, Plaintiff may not plead a claim based on accessibility of an online website under Title III of the ADA. See id."
Kidwell v. Florida Commn. on Human Rel., 2017 WL 176897, at *5 (M.D. Fla. Jan. 17, 2017). This decision is important not only because website accessibility and the ADA remain an open question in most circuits, but also because Scott R. Dinan, a Florida attorney, has filed hundreds of ADA complaints alleging website inaccessibility. The Department of Justice has appeared to support him in one of the cases, Gil v. Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc. Case No. 1:16-cv-23020 in the Southern District of Florida. If the Southern District were to follow Magistrate Judge Mirando's decision in the Middle District it would represent a significant setback for the law firms profiting from website accessibility litigation and for the Department of Justice as well.*
In a related development, a case from Arkansas shows the true colors of an ADA litigant. In Mardel, Inc. v. Hunter, 2017 WL 157744 (E.D. Ark. Jan. 11, 2017) the plaintiff send a demand letter claiming website inaccessibility. Mardel, Inc., the recipient, filed suit seeking a declaratory judgment that its website was did not violate the ADA because it was not a place of public accommodation. The complaining party immediately and unequivocally surrendered rather than face the possibility of a ruling holding that Title III does not apply to the ADA. Some questions the plaintiffs just don't want answered because uncertainty generates settlements.
DOJ's Title III website regulations, though many times delayed, are moving toward finality, and plaintiff's emboldened by DOJ's support and a few favorable decisions in the lower courts have filed hundreds of lawsuits and sent thousands of demands. A single magistrate judge's decision won't end the debate, but it is a good reminder that application of Title III to websites is by no means a foregone conclusion under the law. In the meantime, the Arkansas case reminds us that sometimes a strong defense will simply shut down a plaintiff's lawyer looking to make a quick buck.
*As of the date of this blog Judge Scola in the Southern District of Florida is considering both Winn-Dixie's motion for judgment on the pleadings and its motion to strike the DOJ's statement of interest.

UWM PANTHERS
A year makes a big difference for a UWM women's basketball team now counting on depth and experience
Todd Rosiak
The UW-Milwaukee women's basketball team boasts one of the top five players in the Horizon League this season in sophomore forward Megan Walstad.
But it's going to be strength in numbers that defines the Panthers, who were picked to finish fifth in the 10-team conference in the annual preseason poll.
"Sitting here today, we're very different than last year," coach Kyle Rechlicz said. "Last year we talked a ton about our youth and how we didn't have a ton of minutes per game returning. This year, it's probably the most minutes per game that we've had returning."
Thirteen of the 15 players on UWM's roster are returnees.
Walstad, senior guard Jamie Reit, senior forward Lizzie Odegard and sophomore guard Sydney Levy ranked first, second, fourth and fifth, respectively, in scoring a season ago when the Panthers finished at .500 overall at 15-15 and sixth in the conference standings at 10-8.
Rechlicz hopes to tap into that experience by utilizing a deeper rotation, with overall goals of upping the pace of play, generating more offense and pressing defensively on a more frequent basis.
The bulk of the team's talent resides on the wing, where the 6-foot-2 Walstad, Odegard and junior Brandi Bisping all play.
"I think our biggest identity is our chemistry," said Rechlicz. "This is probably the closest team I've ever coached in my 17 years, not even just here at Milwaukee. The team has just really bought into one another, and it shows in the way they celebrate each other on the court.
"Nobody really cares who gets the glory."
Added Walstad: "Having that time and that experience with each other helps us grow closer. We're all pretty similar in our personalities. It really helps on the court, having great chemistry."
A challenging non-conference schedule that includes consecutive games at Purdue, Minnesota and Wisconsin, another at DePaul and a home game against Marquette should steel UWM for another go-around in the Horizon.
Perennial power UW-Green Bay is once again expected to finish at the top, although this year Wright State – last season's regular-season and tournament champion – was chosen as co-favorite with IUPUI pegged for third.

The Greek economy remains in recession while figures for the rest of the euro zone have taken a positive turn with growth on the horizon, as new Eurostat data released on Tuesday show.
Unemployment is at its lowest in eight years across the 19 euro zone countries, with Greece showing disturbingly high figures, according to the European Union statistical authority.
Greece remains mired in debt and economic woes, with unemployment remaining at an alarming 23 percent, according to October figures, while in December the euro zone average was 9.6 percent, the lowest since 2009. The unemployment for Greek youths under 25 was at 44.2 percent.
Also Eurostat says that euro zone growth went by a quarterly rate of 0.5 percent in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to the previous three-month period when growth was 0.4 percent.
The quarterly growth rate was the same as in the first quarter of 2016 when growth was also 0.5 percent. Overall, the euro zone economy expanded by 1.7 percent in 2016, Eurostat says.

The most anticipated mobiles to expect in 2022
Jessica Canning - 21 December 2021
Next year is the year of the tiger, and a bunch of roar-some new mobiles.
There's a lot to look forward to in 2022. While Spider-Man No Way Home has only just hit cinemas, no spoilers we promise, we're already eager for the new film next year.
Mission Impossible 7 is out. That's right – there's already been six of those films. Qatar will host the 2022 World Cup, where we're all hoping for a better result than the Euros.
Holidays are expected to make a return meaning us Brits may finally have the chance to get our tan on or ski on if you're into that sort of stuff.
But what does 2022 hold for the mobile world? You ask. And we're certainly glad you did.
If there's one thing that's certain in this world, it's that the rumours surrounding the big tech brands and their upcoming releases, will always be circulating the internet.
We're not ones to gossip, but when it comes to new mobiles, we can't help ourselves. And what sort of people would we be if we didn't share everything, we've heard with you lovely people?
What's cooking, Apple?
Apple gave us a whole new iPhone SE back in 2020, now nicknamed the 'pocket-rocket' iPhone. But rumour has it that they have another iPhone SE in the works for 2022.
According to Ming-Chi Kui, a reputable analyst, we could be seeing iPhone SE 3 in the first half of 2022.
The internet is filled with whispers about the features of this rumoured device. One keen favourite being that iPhone SE 3 may be the first of its kind to get Face ID – with the previous models supporting Touch ID.
In true Apple fashion, iPhone SE 3 is predicted to have faster 5G, which isn't all that shocking to us. iPhone 13 had more 5G bands than iPhone 12 so if Apple are to follow this pattern, we're going to have to think of a nickname even more wild than 'pocket-rocket'.
This is the one that has ears pricking and eyes widening. The internet has wasted no time in talking about iPhone 14, just a few months after the release of their epic iPhone 13.
We've heard all sorts from many of our favourite reputable leakers. John Prosser is someone we talk about a lot when it comes to iPhone leaks and he has come through with iPhone 14 too.
How will iPhone 14 compare to iPhone 13?
In unofficial renders, Prosser released unofficial renders of what iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max may look like.
The camera notch has been removed and replaced with a punch-hole camera. This is complimented by a semi-glossy back and titanium sides. A rumour we're super-excited about is one found on TechRadar.
TechRadar claim they have seen a patent themselves that shows a periscope camera on the rumoured iPhone 14. We've previously seen just how great a periscope camera is on the Galaxy S20 Ultra, so we have huge expectations in this sense.
Sweet Samsung surprises.
Samsung Galaxy S22.
This year saw the release of the epic Galaxy S21 series. We met the S21, S21 Plus and S21 Ultra and even now, almost a year on, these mobiles remain Android favourites.
As much as we're all loving the S21, the wait for the S22 feels like an eternity.
While the rumoured S22 models are said to have smaller displays than the S21 series, TechRadar believe we will see FHD+ resolution on the S22 and S22 Plus and QHD+ resolution on the S22 Ultra.
GalaxyClub have given their take on what the design of the S22 will look like and it's got us excited. They suspect that the S22 will be available in white, black, rose gold and green. The S22 Ultra is speculated to come in a choice of black, white or dark red.
Samsung Galaxy S21 FE.
This one is tricky to get our heads around. We've been talking about the S21 FE for what feels like forever, and despite there being talks about the S21 FE being released this year, it seems it'll actually be next year.
It therefore feels a little strange calling it the S21 FE but we're rolling with it. 91mobiles have given us their take on the performance of the rumoured Galaxy S21 FE.
They've brought a Geekbench listing to our attention that details specs that are said to belong to this future device.
The Snapdragon 888 chipset is on that list, the same processor found in the US variations of the Galaxy S21 range.
This chipset features Qualcomm's latest X60 5G Modem which brings faster downloads, higher-quality streaming and more responsive gaming in an instant.
@OnLeaks, another reputable leaker who often gets it right, claims that the rumoured release will have a larger 6.4-inch display. This is an upgrade when compared to the 6.2-inch display on the Galaxy S21 back in January.
Will we be fans of the S21 FE?
Bring it on 2022.
We're hoping that 2022 will prove to be a better year than this year and with so much to look forward to, we've got high expectations.
We're rumoured to see some incredible devices and we're sure that even more will find their way onto the internet in no time.
If you can't quite wait until next year for a new mobile, don't worry. We've got a number of unmissable prices on the very best from Apple, Samsung and more. We'll even deliver yours for free so you can enjoy it as soon as tomorrow.

What is the name of the cat in the LEGO Ninjago movie?
Ninja Cat (voiced by Diedrich Bader) is a male white cat, portrayed by the LEGO Ninja – themed Ninjago Movie. First introduced in the film as a stray, he is later trained by the Garmadon to be a fighting ninja and becomes a member of the Ninja Clan.
Is there going to be a season 12 of Ninjago?
Keeping this in view, what songs are in the LEGO Ninjago movie?
What is the song in the LEGO Ninjago movie trailer?

How does Cole turn back into a human?
How do you make a Lego Ninja?
What age is Ninjago for?
Who is Lord Garmadon voice?
When did Lego Ninjago end?
Who is the most powerful Ninjago character?
As of now I know JBA has taken over Ninjago and will be in the new seasons which start in 2019.
Here are the songs of the movie which has just hit the screens on April 13.
The song of the film is titled 'The Brick', and is a mashup of Lorde's Pure Heroine and Post Malone's Rocky Mountain High.
In August 2020, a Ninjago TV series was released on Nickelodeon.
At this time, it has been announced that a season 13 will be released sometime in 2022. We just learned that Season 13 has been officially announced. It was previously hinted that it would appear before the season, and now that's confirmed.
When it comes to rumors about the upcoming trilogy, it's probably safe to say that the third film is now officially in place. In March 2014, The Lego Movie 2 won the box office for the week and broke Lego's opening day record before losing to the sequel. It eventually became a box office success.
Forbidden spinjitzu (Fujita) is a form of spinjitzu that is only permitted by specific students of Seishin Ryu Kyun in Japan, but has spread to Okinawa, Hawaii, and Guam. It has elements of karate, kung fu, and wrestling.
Despite popular belief, "Ninja-Battles" is not the title of the second installment. All the rumors are a misnomer due to an unfortunate error – a tweet by the team. That said, it will definitely be titled The Ninja in the Ninjago Movie. The Ninjago Movie Will Get Sequels
While Hasbro was making the Lego Ninjago movies? (1999, 2009, 2012), Lego has never released a LEGO movie.
The short answer is that Star Wars: The Mandalorian is neither. Disney+ doesn't include episodes from the popular Star Wars TV series The Mandalorian, which has been airing at Disney Channel to positive reviews.
So, the total number Lego movie costs is about £70. And the entire set would cost about $130. So the overall running time will be about 2.5 hours. If you want to watch the full film without interruptions, it will probably take 3 to 3.5 hours.
Zane: Although his strength and resilience is quite impressive, his main weapon is his Katniss. In The Rise of Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu, Zane was able to control both of the Ninjago's weapons while also mastering the Spinjitzu techniques themselves.
In Avengers: Infinity War, Peter uses the power of Thanos' orb to remove the Infinity Gauntlet from the glove and destroy the stone. Then he goes to Thanos' ship to tell him that while the Power of the stone gives infinite wisdom and power, it also makes you forget everything, including the Infinity Gems.
The original Ninja were manufactured by LEGO Technic from 1993-2001. It was made of two parts, an axe and a sword. One leg replaced the other for storage, and one was an axe, and the other an actual sword. Unfortunately, the Ninja are made out of two parts, the axe and the sword.
When will Ninjago be released on Netflix? Ninjago is currently available to stream on Netflix in Canada, the UK, Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
Bryn is played by British actor Adrian Lester.
The Lego Ninjago movie is coming to Netflix on November 8th. A brand new Lego Ninjago movie is coming out on Netflix on November 8th. The series of Lego Ninjago ended with the two-part Lego Ninjago The Battle For Bricks.
In a Ninjago episode in Season 4, Nya and Kai were the two most powerful Ninjas in the entire Ninja world, until Cole's son Ethan accidentally killed Nya and gained the title of Master Ninja.

Hope for a suffering world...

We're very close to the most important of Christian festivals - Easter -
when Christians try to enter into the real meaning of the death of
Jesus Christ for them personally, and His resurrection from the dead.
The coming to life of a dead man is not something one would claim
lightly, for fear of ridicule.

But this is exactly the claim a disparate and incredulous group of
men and women made about the man Jesus - the one they had watched die.
How else can one describe their fear of association with Jesus being
transformed into a desire to tell the world the wonderful news?

Christianity spread like a fire storm, from a few frightened followers
uttering the words, 'He is risen'.  Over the coming weeks 1900 million
Christians throughout the world will respond to the words 'Christ is
risen' with this same proclamation, 'He is risen indeed'.

These words carry such hope for a suffering world because when
Christians talk about God they are talking about God as He is
revealed in Jesus.  This is why Christians often call God 'the
crucified one'.  The world suffers - I see so much personal pain
and sadness and, for me, the Cross is about solidarity - that a
God who entered into our world also enters into our suffering.

The message of Easter is that in God we can find a deep assurance
that, no matter what happens in this life and beyond, in our darkest
moments of doubt and despair, God is near and we are loved.  We may
find it hard to accept that love because of the way the world loves
and maybe even the way the church loves, but the open arms of Jesus
are waiting to welcome all who will receive Him.

Wishing you all a wonderful Easter break.

Traveling to Melbourne
Arty Melbourne, with its hip cafes, lantern-strewn rooftop bars and thriving cultural scene, is one cool customer. This sun-drenched Australian city often takes centre stage in the world of sport, and its theatres, galleries and shops are truly first class. Swathes of Victorian architecture give a distinctly European feel, and the city's iconic tram system adds to its charm.
To get around Melbourne with ease, purchase a myki: a smart card that gets you access to the buses, trams and trains. There are two zones in the city, though visitors are most likely to find a Zone 1 ticket suffices. Trams are hailed at green-and-gold-coloured stops around the city, and run until midnight. The V-Line trains connect Melbourne with Sydney, a 12-hour trip.
Many of the buildings at Melbourne's street level retain their original facades dating back to the Victorian era. Wide boulevards lined with trees and lawns in the heart of the city add to the European atmosphere; in fact the city is notable for its green spaces, with Fitzroy Gardens and the Royal Botanic Gardens two lovely examples of the city's parks.
Beyond the CBD, head to the redeveloped Yarra River and waterfront area, populated with restaurants and bars, while a wander round hip neighbourhoods such as Brunswick and Fitzroy is enough to show you why Melbourne claims to be Australia's cultural capital - discover live music, cool pubs and bohemian cafes abound.
St Kilda is an edgy inner city suburb that's known for its beach-bar scene. Once run-down, it's now home to an arty crowd who populate local drinking spots and fill interesting exhibition spaces.
There are a number of illuminating museums to check out back in the city centre, including the Melbourne Museum with its postmodern art and IMAX screen, and the Immigration Museum, which tells the story of Australia's colonisation via first-hand testimony, pictures and memorabilia in a beautiful 19th-century setting.
The periphery of Melbourne is known for its scintillating nature, the nearest of which is the Dandenong range of peaks. Many take the Mount Dandenong Tourist Road, a meandering path past woodland, old houses in well-preserved villages and breath-taking views; you'll also find craft workshops and quirky cafes along the way. Further afield is the Yarra Valley – wine country with about 80 local producers, and clearly marked routes. On the Bellarine peninsula to the southwest of Melbourne, you'll find a tranquil retreat from city life, one that's less known by tourists. Don't miss the quaint seaside village of Queenscliff for its picturesque Victorian-era buildings.
Melbourne's dining scene is epic. It is almost impossible to eat badly. A wealth of influences from across the globe together with a population who have the means and inclination to pay for high quality food, has resulted in a deluge of quality cuisine. Greek immigrants have had a particularly significant impact – Melbourne is fondly referred to as Greece's third city after Athens and Thessaloniki. Beyond the souvlaki, expect cosmopolitan restaurants inspired by Lebanese, Vietnamese and even Sudanese cooking. Many of Australia's best wines can be found in Melbourne, too. Lately, some of the world's most famous chefs have been setting up in Melbourne off the back of its foodie reputation, including Heston Blumenthal.

At high school the idea is to be well-rounded. Know a little about a lot of things; be good across the board. Do well in academics, music, sport. But don't be exceptional at anything. At this point, that's dangerous: you'll tie yourself down too early, and invite the ire of your peers.
At university the idea is to be well-rounded with a bump. Learn a little more about a lot of things, have a range of interests and talents. But now, you need to become known for something. Be passionate about something. Be exceptional at something. That's the way to be successful, to get into graduate schools, to land a good first job.
The language of roundedness generally stops there. We speak of successful people from there on. Generally what matters is just that the bump remains. People develop their careers, and the bump becomes how one defines oneself.
I think we need a language of wholeness. Real people are interested in an enormous range of things , and yet remain exceptional at one or a few things. That's not just well-rounded with a bump or two, but that's what it means to be a whole human being. We are not our resumes, nor are we just our interests.
Wholeness seems a worthy aim. Interested in the world and in many things throughout life, and good enough to lead and inspire others in one or a few of those things. If we need a phrase to aim for (and do we?), wholeness seems appropriate.

Famous London landmarks, including Buckingham Palace, Nelson's Column and the Tower of London have turned pink in support of the UK's leading breast cancer research charity.
The event marks the launch of the charity Breast Cancer Campaign's action month which is aiming to raise awareness about the effects of the disease this October.
Baroness Delyth Morgan, Breast Cancer Campaign's chief executive, said: "Twelve thousand women still die from breast cancer every year in the UK. Millions more - survivors, their friends and families - are living with its impact every single day."
Throughout October the charity is hoping that people will be encouraged to help: from wearing it, buying it, turning it or painting it pink. "Through to encouraging friends and family to be more aware of the signs and symptoms - every action will help move us closer to curing the disease."


Q. What is the Taxpayer Bill of Rights?
The right to record the interview.
The right to propose an installment payment program.
The right to appeal the findings of an audit.
The right to conduct the audit at a time and place that is convenient for you.
The right to limit the scope of the audit to those issues directly relevant to the items being examined.
The right to get the help of an IRS ombudsman or problem resolution officer to prevent the agency from seizing your property, garnishing your wages or forcing you into bankruptcy.
Q. What is the statute of limitations on the IRS auditing my return?
Generally, the IRS can audit your income tax return within three years of the filing date for no specified reasons. However, if the IRS believes you have under reported your income by more than 25%, it has up to 6 years to impose an audit on you. There is no statute of limitations if you file a false return or do not file a return at all.
Q. How can I avoid an audit?
There are no guaranteed methods to prevent audits, but you can reduce your chances. Make sure you completely fill out your tax return, check and recheck all calculations, and be sure to attach all required forms and documentation. The more information you provide them initially, the less likely they'll come looking for answers from you in the future.
Q. How do I prepare for an audit?
First things first, look over the return in question and refamiliarize yourself with it. Examine the items the IRS questioned in its notice of an audit. Gather proof and documentation for items you are uncertain about. You need not attend your audit. An attorney, CPA or enrolled agent may represent you. If you do attend, do not bring any extra paperwork not immediately associated with the items to be questions by the IRS. If the IRS tries to pressure you into beginning an audit you are not ready for, reschedule the meeting for your convenience.
Q. Is there an appeals process for an audit?
If you disagree with the findings of an IRS audit, you do have the right to appeal. The first appeal is to the examiner's supervisor. If you still disagree, the next step in the appeal process is the IRS Appeals Office. More information is available in IRS publication 1, Your Rights as a Taxpayer and publication 556, Examination of Returns, Appeal Rights, and Claims for Refund.
Q. If I file an extension, am I less likely to be audited?
No, it is commonly believed that returns filed after the April 17th deadline will somehow get lost in the crowd and have a less likely chance of being audited. However, this is not the case.
No, the IRS cannot target you out for an audit just because you own property or drive an expensive car. However, if you are under an audit, the IRS may require an explanation of how you acquired these assets if your income does not match your lifestyle.
Yes, but they are usually stingy with payments, stating that the leads supplied were not material. Reward amounts are within the IRS's discretion. They can be as high as 15% if your specified information is responsible for investigation, or as low as 1% if you merely supply a name. All names remain confidential. Use Form 211 to supply your information in writing.
Q. What is Tax Court?
Tax court is used when all other appeals relating to an audit's findings have been exhausted and you still aren't satisfied with the outcome. If you and the IRS are arguing over an amount less than $10,000, it may be in your best interest to use small claims simplified procedures. About 50% of all small claims cases are won by the taxpayer!
Q. Does the IRS come to my home during an audit?
There are three types of audits the IRS can hold. A field audit takes place at your home or office. An office audit takes place at an IRS office. A correspondence audit takes place via the mail.

Q: How to install python packages with all dependencies offline via pip3? first of all I have managed to install Ansible on a server which has no internet access. But I wonder if my approach is correct.
At first I downloaded the necessary dependencies via pip3.
pip3 download ansible -d .

This resulted in the following files downloaded:
ansible-2.9.4.tar.gz
cryptography-2.8-cp34-abi3-manylinux1_x86_64.whl
MarkupSafe-1.1.1-cp36-cp36m-manylinux1_x86_64.whl
PyYAML-5.3.tar.gz
cffi-1.13.2-cp36-cp36m-manylinux1_x86_64.whl
Jinja2-2.11.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl
pycparser-2.19.tar.gz
six-1.14.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl

Now that I have made these files available on my remote computer, I tried to use
pip3 install ansible-2.9.4.tar.gz

to install ansible.
This resulted in the following error:
Processing ./ansible-2.9.4.tar.gz
WARNING: Retrying (Retry(total=4, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None, status=None)) after connection broken by
'NewConnectionError('<pip._vendor.urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at
0x7f00726f9ef0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno -2] Name or service not known',)': /simple/jinja2/

So I tried to install Jinja2 manually:
pip3 install jinja2-2.11.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl

But this did not work either:
WARNING: Retrying (Retry(total=4, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None, status=None)) after connection
 broken by 'NewConnectionError('<pip._vendor.urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at
0x7fd303a23940>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno -2] Name or service not known',)':
/simple/markupsafe/

After Markupsafe was installed, Jinja2 could be installed as well. In the end with pip3 install ansible-2.9.4.tar.gz I successfully installed ansible.
Now my question is. Is there a way to tell pip to use the downloaded files to install the dependencies or is there an easier approach to install a specific python package with all its dependencies offline?
Thanks for your help and best regards.
yabberth

A:
Is there a way to tell pip to use the downloaded files to install the dependencies or is there an easier approach to install a specific python package with all its dependencies offline?

I believe what you're looking for are the --no-index and --find-links options to pip install. Per the official pip install option documentation:

--no-index
Ignore package index (only looking at --find-links URLs instead).
-f, --find-links
If a url or path to an html file, then parse for links to archives. If a local path or file:// url that's a directory, then look for archives in the directory listing.

With these options you can do ex. local installation:
pip3 install --no-index --find-links /some/path <package name>

or remote installation (e.g. via HTTP):
pip3 install --no-index --find-links http:\\remotes\server <package name>

In your case, you should be able to simply use ansible for the package name ex.:
pip3 install --no-index --find-links /some/path ansible

pip3 install --no-index --find-links http:\\remotes\server ansible

Though the full file name can be used if you wish:
pip3 install --no-index --find-links /some/path ansible-2.9.4.tar.gz

pip3 install --no-index --find-links http:\\remotes\server ansible-2.9.4.tar.gz

Assuming all the required dependencies reside in the same location (as listed in your original question), they should be installed as normal (i.e. without having to install each dependency in order manually).

Requirements
Another option might be to make a requirements file with the proper dependency installation order e.g.:
ex. requirements.txt
/path/to/MarkupSafe-1.1.1-cp36-cp36m-manylinux1_x86_64.whl
/path/to/Jinja2-2.11.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl
/path/to/ansible-2.9.4.tar.gz
# ...

Then use e.g. pip3 install -r requirements.txt to install the listed packages. You could use e.g. HTTP links again as well:
ex. requirements.txt
http:\\remotes\server\MarkupSafe-1.1.1-cp36-cp36m-manylinux1_x86_64.whl
http:\\remotes\server\Jinja2-2.11.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl
http:\\remotes\server\ansible-2.9.4.tar.gz
# ...

The clear drawback here is that, assuming one package is dependent on another, you already need to know the order in which certain packages need to be installed.

Other URL Options
You may also want to look at the version control system (VCS) section of pip install documentation, which offers examples of combining pip install with VCS links (i.e. Git, Mercurial, Subversion and Bazaar).

References
pip install
pip install (options)

A: Since you needs is not to have a full mirror, I would suggest to use python-pypi-mirror :
1- Install python-pypi-mirror using pip on a server that have internet connection.
2- Install http.server python module on this server.
3- Create a directory that will server your pip packages.
4- Download the needed packages using python-pypi-mirror to the directory recently created and exposed as an http server (it will contain all its dependencies).
5- Install the needed package remotely.
 pip3 install --trusted-host <http_server> -i http://<http_server>:<http.server_default_port>/simple <package_name>

Thanks for visiting the Finto File. On this blog I'll be showing you some of my published writing; displaying a good photograph or two; serving up large helpings of political views; delving deeply into law enforcement issues; writing an occasional love letter to New York City; and touching lightly yet brilliantly on music, art, literature, sports and other cultural matters. Your comments welcomed. (All text and photographs copyright 2017 by George Molé.)
Writers: Pete Hamill discusses immigration, boxing and Dylan at the Tenement Museum, New York City, last night
Anyone who's grown up reading the New York newspapers, as I have, and has a taste for good writing, as I do, learned years ago to look for Pete Hamill's byline.
Hamill, the legendary journalist and writer from the streets of Brooklyn, has few rivals--actually, Jimmy Breslin may be his only peer--when it comes to distilling our whirling, complex, petri dish of a city into a series of perfect sentences, assembled into memorable 700-word columns.
His writing style is unmistakable. He commands a broad knowledge of history, politics, art, literature and music, all of which enrich his work; but he often brings his topics back to his youth, and the New York he knew as a youth. That part of his life and experience serves as his touchstone--the lens through which he views the rest of the world--and gives his writing a rich texture that combines sepia-toned nostalgia with a hard urban edge.
At its best, Hamill's prose can approach the level of poetry. Listen to this, for example, about P.J. Clarke's, a well-known New York City bar/restaurant:
On this night in the rain-drowned city, we were safe and dry at an oak table in the back room of the saloon. Clarke's was, and remains, a place out of another time, all burnished wood and chased mirrors, Irish flags and browning photographs of prizefighters. A few aging men at the long, bright bar could gaze out the windows and still see the Third Avenue El, gone since 1955, or the Irish tenements that were smashed into rubble and replaced with steel-and-glass office buildings. They were each drinking alone and looked as if they remembered other nights too, evoked by the music of the jukebox. (From Why Sinatra Matters by Pete Hamill, 1998, Little, Brown and Company.)
And Hamill has lived a life of accomplishment and adventure that many men (and maybe a few women) would envy. He served as editor of both the New York Daily News and the New York Post; wrote for these and many other publications, from and about almost every part of the world; produced numerous books; originated, in one of his stories, the tradition of tying a yellow ribbon to let someone know he's missed at home; palled around with Frank Sinatra; dated Jackie Kennedy Onassis and Shirley MacLaine; and was present at the murder of Robert F. Kennedy, helping subdue Sirhan Sirhan in the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel.
Hamill spoke last night--Tuesday, 12/14/10--to an audience of about 50 people at the Tenement Museum on Orchard Street. His topic, appropriate to the venue, was immigration, although he touched on a few other subjects as well.
Hamill is an old-school New York liberal, and that worldview was on full display as he argued for amnesty for illegal aliens present in the U.S., particularly Mexicans. We need their work, and their work ethic, Hamill said; they're here to better themselves and their lives, and are happy for the opportunity to do difficult jobs--like agricultural labor--that America needs done but Americans aren't anxious to do themselves.
Like Hamill's best writing, his argument was grounded in humanity, not ideology. Today's Hispanic immigrants, legal and illegal, he contended, are part of the same tradition as the European immigrants who came to the U.S. in years past; they are largely decent, hard-working people whose presence makes us a stronger and better country. This is not to say I agreed with him--I support strict enforcement of our immigration laws, and deportation of those here illegally--but I've never heard the pro-amnesty case presented more persuasively.
Hamill took questions after his talk, and a measure of his intellect is the respect he showed for those who disagreed with him. I was one who engaged him in a bit of debate.
I'm not persuaded, I told him, that we have enough work for the millions of uneducated laborers who are flocking here. When my grandparents, or Hamill's parents, came to the U.S., a man could support a family by working in a factory, as Hamill's father did, or working on the docks. But the factories are gone, and the waterfront is dead--and there are far fewer blue-collar jobs than there once were.
Hamill nodded, and talked a bit about the tragic loss of manufacturing jobs, and the sad state of New York Harbor. But there are still some low-level jobs, he argued--agricultural work, for example, and restaurant work--enough, at least, to employ newly-arrived immigrants until they move up the economic ladder.
But what about unemployed Americans, I countered, who could benefit from these jobs themselves? Unemployment among young African-Americans, in particular, is very high. It may not be that Americans don't wish to do these jobs--it may be that they won't, or can't, do them for the wages that illegal immigrants are willing to work for. (Indeed, illegal aliens, being off the books, can, and often do, work for less than minimum wage.) In this way, don't illegal immigrants undercut Americans in the job market?
Hamill thought about it. No, he answered, I don't think African-Americans would be willing to do these agricultural jobs, even if the Mexicans were not here, for a host of reasons. For example, many Black people have negative feelings about the experiences they, or their forebears, had working the Southern fields--they're not going to be too enthusiastic about going to work as fruit pickers. And Americans in general, not just African-Americans, don't seem inclined to do that kind of work. In California, for example, during periods when there was a shortage of agricultural labor, there were people on welfare in Oakland who were not applying for those jobs. Similarly, Hamill concluded, young people in New York are probably unlikely to be vying to replace Hispanics in restaurant jobs.
Like arguments about abortion or gun control, debates about immigration rarely change anyone's mind; the best you can hope for is to hear both sides presented with intelligence and passion. Hamill made his points brilliantly, as was to be expected from him. But when he was done, I remained as uncomfortable as I was before with the idea that allowing untold numbers of poor, unscreened, unskilled and uneducated people to enter or remain in the U.S. is in our national interest.
Hamill sat and signed books afterward, chatting at a leisurely pace about whatever came up. He was asked about the late boxing champion Jose Torres, a close friend of his.
"I miss him every day," Hamill said.
This led to a story about Hamill's first published article, written about Torres for a Greek-language magazine. Hamill pitched the piece to the editor, who was the son of the owner, an older Greek man. The owner wanted to know why they should be printing a piece by an Irishman about a Puerto Rican in a Greek magazine. "Oh, Pop, Torres is very popular among the young Greeks," the editor improvised to his father.
Segueing from sports to music, I said, "Someday I hope to write something as good as the liner notes to Blood on the Tracks." (This striking essay, written by Hamill for the cover of the classic Bob Dylan album--and for which Hamill won a Grammy--remains one of my favorite pieces of anybody's writing.)
Hamill recounted having been in the studio when Dylan was recording the album. Mick Jagger was there, too, and told Dylan something to the effect of, "The lyrics are great but the music sucks." This led to Dylan re-recording most of the album with new arrangements, and this is why there are now two versions of Blood--the one that was eventually released, and the original, some say better, version that can be found on bootleg.
At this point, having glanced behind me and seen a long line of increasingly impatient people waiting to get their books signed, I decided to give someone else a chance to talk to this endlessly intriguing writer. Fortunately, he lives here--a New York lifer if one ever existed--and we can hope for more conversation with Pete Hamill in the future.

George, I read your blog piece on Hamill. Lovely. Thoughtful. Interesting. Thanks a lot for passing it on. I do love Hamill and miss looking forward to the morning paper in the way I did when he had that column in NY Newsday which is where I first got to know him. But I haven't read him in a while and this will certainly lead me back. So, thanks again.
p.s. and thanks for the Blood on the Tracks link! I actually have heard of that but never read it because I bought the cassette tape without the liner notes in college. I'm a Dylan freak as well.

With fall upon PSU at last, wardrobes are swiftly changing throughout campus. Shorts and dresses are being put away for sweat pants, hoodies, and boots. With the summer trends being stored to the back of the closet and the stress of classes wearing down on students, it's easy to wonder if fashion can still be juggled into the mix of homework, clubs, and social life. By keeping a few simple tips and tricks in mind, anyone can keep their wardrobe looking its best as the weather gets colder.
When deciding what to wear in the morning, many factors come to mind. Courtney Pearson, a graduate student at Plymouth State studying Science Education, shares what she finds most important. "Is it warm? Is it comfortable? And is it appropriate for what I'm going to be doing that day?" When it comes to choosing what to wear, these are the most important things to consider. Fashionable or not, nobody will be happy dressed in clothes that aren't going to keep them warm or comfortable throughout the day. Junior and English major Alex Francione couldn't agree more.
Finding that level between cold and hot is key for creating both a logical and comfortable outfit. However, does the changing weather mean that students have to give up their sense of fashion just for the sake of staying warm? Pearson shares her favorite clothing articles that can be matched to keep her cozy while the temperature drops, but still look good as well.
"I like to wear tall boots and leggings," said Pearson. "As well as big sweaters." With a laid back bun or pony tail, one can achieve an easy look of charming simplicity.
Another popular fall clothing item that all three girls agreed to using during the fall is the flannel. This can be found for cheap at any thrift store in a variety of colors, and also comes in handy as the perfect tool for layering shirts and sweaters. "During the fall I like to wear layers and wear darker colors and incorporate bold colors such as maroon jeans and dark blue over shirts," said Ahern, showing how she utilizes the layering technique in her everyday wardrobe.
One of the easiest ways to make an outfit work is by finding colors that compliment or flatter the wearer. "I like maroon because it's a fall color that makes my eyes pop out," said Pearson. Finding a color that matches with hair or eyes can work for both males and females and immediately enhances the look of any outfit.
"I really like the deeper colors of purple and maroon mostly," said Trafton. Maroons, purples, reds, and blacks are easy colors that can compliment the changing fall colors and flow easily into the coming winter.
While it may be easier to just grab the same sweatshirt or pair of sweatpants that have been used and reused all week, take a moment to think about what could really make an outfit stand out for the day. Switching up the color scheme or trying out a different pair of shoes could be the difference between an everyday outfit and one that gets complimented all day long. It may just be the confidence booster needed to make the day a great one.


Vicky Gunn, with her dog Millie.
Running a seasonal business can sound idyllic; who wouldn't want to enjoy part of the year free from the daily pressures of business life?
But actually, entrepreneurs who have only a few months to generate enough profit to keep them going when the season ends face some of the biggest challenges of all. They have to be masters at planning, budgeting, and precision marketing, and as in the case of these three seasonal startup founders, shrewd with strategies to make their businesses are viable all year round.
When Vicky Gunn founded her beach hut business Millie's Beach Huts in 2014 it was on a part time basis. However, the peak summer season, typically running from May to September, left her wondering how to fill the huts the rest of the year, so she came up with a plan.
"The first step was to make sure that our huts would be comfortable and could provide a great experience for anyone hiring out of season," she says.
In came the cosy Cath Kidston bedspreads, the gas heaters, hot chocolate and soup pans for those who wanted to bring comforting food to keep them warm. Gunn then proactively promoted the idea that a beach hut isn't just for summer by sharing customer stories from those who were using the huts over winter.
She also came up with the idea of using the beach huts as a location venue for photographers shooting a range of events, from weddings to family engagements. Outside the main summer season the coastal light can be quite atmospheric, while the huts provided both a colourful backdrop and place to change outfits.
Still, this wasn't enough to overcome that other seasonal business challenge; seasonal cash flow. Gunn found her inspiration in Daniel Priestley's book Oversubscribed and the principle of having more buyers than sellers and demand outstripping supply. It got her thinking about subscription-based membership and products, from wine clubs to razors, that businesses were creating, and specifically how she could apply the model to beach huts?
The result was Millie's Beach Hut Club, where members pay a monthly subscription fee, between £10 and £20, for a certain number of days in huts every year, negating the barrier of paying for several days all at once. There are also discounts on extra days, shorter cancellation notices and early access to book new beach huts.
With high season for the UK swimwear industry only running from March to July, Victoria James, founder of Crochini turned her attention to peak seasons that were happening in other parts of the world.
James, who launched her business in 2017, has also taken advantage of the fact that more people are heading to places like Dubai and the Caribbean in for some winter sun.
"With the rise in popularity of these destinations people are turning to online stores to buy swimwear as there is not much swimwear on offer on the high street outside the main season." she says.
While her business revenue is at its highest between March and July, James also taps into the busy shopping weekends such as Black Friday in November.
For most tuition businesses, traditional peak season falls within school term times, generally from September through to June, with occasional lulls during holiday seasons. Entrepreneurs Scott Woodley and Mark Hughes have transformed their tuition startup Tutorful into a year round enterprise by offering both non-academic tuition and adult learning.
Subjects such as musical instruments and languages aren't specifically academic and as such, people look to receive tuition in these throughout the year. As a tuition business, however, their biggest challenge was raising awareness of non-academic subjects for all ages.
It also enabled the tutors themselves to raise awareness through word of mouth and their own social networks. Founded in 2015, Tutorful now employs 23 full time staff and is growing.

The Economist said:
ONE OF the many memorable scenes in "The Namesake", an excellent new film based on Jhumpa Lahiri's book and directed by Mira Nair of "Monsoon Wedding" fame, deals with a young Bengali bride and a bowl of Rice Krispies. The young woman has swapped her happy life and extended family in Calcutta for an arranged marriage and a lonely apartment in New York. When her husband, Ashoke Ganguli, leaves home early to work on his PhD thesis, she is left alone to grapple with the mystery of the American breakfast. She fills a bowl with Rice Krispies—and then covers them with curry powder and peanuts.
"The Namesake" is a moving study of the human side of immigration. But it is also a success story. Mr Ganguli snags an academic job, fathers two perfect children, moves to the suburbs and acquires an entourage of Bengali friends. His son, who is lumbered with the name Gogol Ganguli, studies architecture at Yale and acquires an All-American girlfriend, rich, blonde and well-connected.
Mr Ganguli is part of a huge army of immigrants who have brought their brains and enthusiasm to the United States—not just Indians and Pakistanis but also Chinese, Koreans and Europeans. America's high-tech industries are powered by foreign brains. Almost a third of Silicon Valley start-ups since 1995 were founded by Indians or Chinese. They also power America's great universities, particularly the science departments. About 40% of people earning PhDs in computer science and engineering are foreign-born.
You might imagine that America would welcome such talented people. But the national debate on immigration has recently acquired a bilious tone, focused overwhelmingly on the threat of illegal immigration. A country that has been built on immigrant labour is now building fences and demonising foreigners, almost as if it did not need them.
America also makes life difficult for them. Since the mid-1960s the immigration system has been skewed to uniting families rather than to attracting talent. And in recent years it has been driven by a combination of fear of terrorism and rising protectionism. In 2003 Congress reduced the number of H1B visas (temporary visas for highly skilled workers) from about 200,000—well below the number needed—to 65,000.
Potential graduate students and high-tech workers tell nightmare stories of waiting for months for the right bits of paper. And high-tech companies relentlessly complain about not being able to get visas for some of the world's best brains. A few attempts have been made to fix the system. Bill Gates and other high-tech barons have lobbied Congress to create a more flexible process and make it easier for foreign students to stay in America on graduation. But so far all attempts to sort out legal immigration have been swamped by Congress's inability to deal with the illegal kind.
America's legal immigration system is falling apart at just the time when talented foreigners have more choice than ever. Many other countries—including Australia, Canada, Britain, Germany and even France—are bending over backwards to attract talented people. European companies can easily draw on the skills of an entire continent, thanks to the free movement of labour there. At the same time the Indian and Chinese economies are booming. Indian companies such as Infosys and Wipro have California-style campuses, state-of-the-art equipment and generous pay packets (which, incidentally, allow employees to afford a house full of servants). American multinationals such as Microsoft are establishing research and development facilities across the developing world. Indians and Chinese were once willing to put up with any humiliation for a chance of a career in the United States. Now they have more and more choices back home.
Missing two worlds
This raises once again the main theme of "The Namesake"—the human side of immigration. The film reminds its audience that immigration is a traumatic experience as well as a liberating one. This is not just because leaving the rest of your family half a world away is hard. It is also because it poses difficult questions of identity.
Mr Ganguli and his wife find their children becoming strangers to them—revelling in American pop culture and embarrassed by the Bengali community's idiosyncratic ways. But the children also endure a hidden war between their Bengali and American selves. Gogol at first turns his back on his immigrant family, finding it much more glamorous to hang out with his girlfriend's family in Manhattan and Oyster Bay, before rediscovering his Bengali roots when his father dies. His mother returns to Calcutta with an immigrant's lament: she has spent the past 25 years missing India and will spend the next 25 missing America.
There are still good reasons for immigrants to put themselves through all this. America has the world's greatest universities and biggest opportunities for the truly talented. But American officialdom needs to stop thinking that people will tolerate any humiliation to work there. Uprooting yourself from your native culture is difficult enough, without having to deal with unnecessary bureaucratic obstacles. America also needs to realise what will happen if the immigrants stop coming. University departments will grind to a halt. High-tech companies will be starved of personnel. New York could find itself eclipsed by London as the world's financial hub.
"The Namesake" is worth watching for many reasons. It is a compelling study of personal identity. It features some of the most talented Indian actors in the business. But it is also an excuse for a thought experiment: imagine how much poorer America would be without the likes of Mr Ganguli.

Mr.Conley said:
Knowledge workers no longer need to live in America to work as they can now work from almost anywhere. America keeps giving away its IT knowledge to immigrants, just as it has given away its manufacturing jobs and its agricultural information. Many today do not stay in America as they can now leave and find great paying jobs in their homelands. Foreigners who attend our universities today leave with our expertise and take away with them our jobs. The uneducated poor, however, come here and stay for the welfare, social services, and social security even as our top jobs depart. America is being milked dry.
Immigrants In, IT Jobs Out
Do you remember those Information Technology (IT) jobs that were going to take the place in the "new economy" of those outsourced manufacturing jobs? Don't bother to retrain. The IT jobs are leaving, too.
Knowledge work can be done anywhere there are educated people. These days that's just about everywhere: the Philippines, India, China, Russia, Eastern Europe, Costa Rica, and South Africa. Outsourcing of "new economy" jobs is exploding.
A recent article in Business Week ("The New Global Job Shift" Feb. 3) describes "dazzling new technology parks" on the outskirts of India's major cities where U.S. companies such as Bank of America, Texas Instruments, pharmaceutical companies, Intel, Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, Hewlett Packard, American Express, Dell Computer, Eastman Kodak, IBM, GE, Microsoft, Procter & Gamble, Fluor Corp, Electronic Data Services, Citibank, Boeing, mortgage lenders, Massachusetts General Hospital, and even architectural firms hire Indians to do knowledge jobs that Americans did three years ago.
In Bangalore Indian radiologists interpret CT scans for Massachusetts General Hospital, and Indian engineers design third-generation mobile-phone chips for Texas Instruments. Other Indians process claims for major U.S. insurance companies and home loans for U.S. mortgage companies. Indian molecular biologists conduct research for pharmaceutical companies. Indians analyze financial data for Wall Street, conduct R&D for U.S. high tech companies, and design software for Microsoft.
The competition for U.S. knowledge workers is tough. India has 520,000 IT engineers, and starting salaries are $5,000. Five years from now, Indian service exports will add $57 billion annually to the U.S. and European trade deficits, and four million IT jobs will have been moved to India.
The same thing is happening in China, a country with which the U.S. is expected to have a $125 billion trade deficit this year due largely to outsourcing. Microsoft alone is spending $1,150,000,000 for R&D and outsourcing in India and China over the next three years. In Microsoft's Beijing research facility, one-third of the Chinese programmers have PhDs from U.S. universities at U.S. taxpayers' expense.
Filipinos prepare Proctor & Gamble's tax returns and crunch numbers for audits conducted by U.S. accounting firms. Architectural work ranging from home design to multibillion dollar petrochemical plants is outsourced to Hungary, India, and the Philippines.
The U.S. gave away its agricultural knowledge, its education, its technology, its manufacturing jobs and is now giving away its IT jobs. The displaced manufacturing workers did not move to the promised greener pastures. What reason is there to believe that the displaced engineers, Wall Street analysts, accountants, scientists, and other knowledge workers will do any better when their careers are outsourced?
Business Week asked Harvard University globalist advocate Robert Lawrence what happens if America loses its knowledge jobs on top of its manufacturing jobs. His answer was not reassuring. He has no evidence--just faith--that globalization will make us better off.
What is going on when American policymakers and elites gamble with the livelihoods of tens of millions of Americans on faith? Business Week is correct when it says "economists haven't begun to fathom the implications" for America of globalization. But it is already obvious who the winners and losers are.
The winners are the foreigners with IT educations who live in countries where both the standard and cost of living are very low. The losers are IT employees in the U.S. where both the standard and cost of living is very high. Filipino engineers working for American firms at salaries of $3,000 annually, and Chinese and Indians working for $5,000 to $10,000 annually are unbeatable competition. For American university students struggling to prepare for high tech careers, the good times are over before they begin.
While jobs leave America and incomes fall, the eligibility of illegal aliens for U.S. Social Security and Medicaid benefits is a powerful magnet pulling in poor foreigners by the droves. The 1996 Welfare Reform Act did not end benefits for PRUCOL aliens, those who entered illegally and "permanently reside under color of law." People collect benefits who have never paid in. And it is American citizens, downsized and outsourced, who are saddled with the burden.
As most everyone knows, Social Security is in dire straits. But its funding problem has not deterred the Bush administration from drafting a treaty with Mexico that will give the Mexican government $345 billion in Social Security payments for Mexicans who have worked legally and illegally in the U.S.
Let's hope that the Bush administration is correct and that we are not starting a 30-year war in the Middle East by invading Iraq. Otherwise, the combination of war, job and income loss, unprecedented trade deficits, and the creation of Social Security entitlements for foreign nationals will break the U.S. long before another generation passes.
Before the U.S. can reconstruct the world, it must cease deconstructing itself. For that task, the country will need a champion.

Survey – Jerwood Arts' largest review of contemporary art practice in 12 years – is about to open at Bluecoat in Liverpool, the only northwest based venue to host the touring exhibition. The hugely diverse display will feature newly commissioned work by 15 'early-career' artists from across the UK, who were selected from a long-list of 72 nominees put forward by 35 'established artists' including Rachel Maclean, Ryan Gander and Andy Holden.
Known for its legacy of working with artists that demonstrate outstanding potential within the first five years of their career, Jerwood Arts has helped to bring many of the UK's most exciting new names to the fore over the last decade. This brand new presentation provides an important snapshot of where the contemporary art scene is right now, and this year's list of exhibitors includes: Chris Alton, Simeon Barclay, Hazel Brill, Flo Brooks, Emma Cousin, Joe Fletcher Orr, Tom Goddard, Ashley Holmes, Lindsey Mendick, Nicole Morris, Milly Peck, Anna Raczynski, Will Sheridan, Rae-Yen Song and Frank Wasser.
Themes explored within the show range broadly from familial and personal identity to societal and political frameworks, played out across film, performance, ceramics, installation and painting. We're especially looking forward to encountering Barclay's contribution following his exceptional solo exhibition, Life Room, at Holden Gallery earlier this year; and Mendick's, whose unconventional re-characterisation of 'dangerous women' from the Bible presented across a series of decadent fans may have caught your attention at Fancy Pants at The Portico Library.
Make sure to catch the preview of Survey on 12 April, which will include a performance of 'Good to Us' by Ashley Holmes. Bluecoat will be the third organisation to host the touring exhibition, which will travel to its final venue, Baltic in Newcastle, in July.

New Netflix Series Will Expose Secretive Christian Group Controlling Washington July 24, 2019 Hemant Mehta
New Netflix Series Will Expose Secretive Christian Group Controlling Washington
More than a decade ago, investigative reporter Jeff Sharlet wrote a book called The Family all about the secretive Christian organization that had influence throughout Washington, D.C.
While many of the conservative Christians who have surrounded Donald Trump are well known at this point, members of The Family have historically shunned publicity, preferring backroom deals and secrecy. Their mansion on C Street is the residency of a number of conservative members of Congress, and the only time they really came out in the open, in the past, was the National Prayer Breakfast.
Now they're getting the Netflix treatment.
The streaming company just announced a five-part "docuseries" taking a closer look at the organization. It also includes participation from a number of members, which is highly unusual.
… The Family believes the separation of church and state is unnecessary, and political affiliation is irrelevant. The Family grooms and supports leaders, teaching them that the Bible is a story about power, not mercy — that leaders are chosen by God, not elected.
If you want a closer look at how conservative Christianity controls U.S. politics, this may be the story you're looking for.
The series will be available on August 9.

Giving you choices and options whatever stage of life you're at.
There are certain times when something or someone makes us realise what's important in life, and how we can protect it.
Here are a few ways that life insurance can give you and your loved ones choices when you need them most, to protect the life you've worked hard to create.
Three little words that change our lives in a very big way. From that moment on we're no longer just living for ourselves, and there are choices to be made. What kind of pram should we buy? What's the safest car seat? Should we find out if it's a boy or a girl? And while all these things matter, one of the most important decisions you can make is, what would happen to my family if I pass away or can't work?
Life and income insurance means you can make sure your family is still looked after, and they have options to continue enjoying the life you've planned for them.
Protects your family's future and gives them options if you are no longer around.
Gives you options to help you live a better quality of life if you are permanently disabled and can't work.
Provides you with an income to help you continue living your life if you have had an injury or illness and can't work.
Means you have choices so you can still make the most of life if you have a serious illness.
It's one of the most exciting times in your life: buying a home. Seeing the potential in a "renovator's delight", or discovering the one property where "water views" actually mean, water views. And when the big day finally arrives, and you have that signed contract in your hand, there's such excitement, tinged with a new feeling: financial responsibility.
For most people, their home will be the biggest investment they ever make. So it makes sense to think about how you would pay the mortgage if you can't work temporarily, or even permanently, to protect your investment, and the life you imagined living there.
Work is such a big part of our lives and our identities. It's the foundation that lets us build other parts of our future, such as buying a home or travelling.
But what if you couldn't work due to an illness, a sports injury perhaps, or an accident? Could you still afford to pay your regular bills and build the future you've planned? That's where "living benefits" can help. They can help you take time off from your job, support you while you recover, or help improve your quality of life after an illness or injury.
You probably can't remember the moment when thinking about spending the rest of your life with someone changed from something scary, to something beautiful. It becomes "your life", something to be shared and planned together.
But what would happen to all your plans if you passed away, or were unable to work? Could your partner still afford the future you've planned?
Life insurance means that for better or for worse, you and the one you love will have choices to help you make the most of life.
Of course, life has its ups and downs, and your financial situation can change from one year to the next.
You might find you have more responsibilities, or people relying on you. Maybe an inheritance gives you additional income to protect. Or a change in career means you feel less secure than you once did.
Life and income insurance means that despite life's twists and turns, you still have options when you need them most, to protect your way of life.
If there's one positive to come from the death of a loved one, it's re-looking at our own lives and considering what's important to us, and how we can look after those closest to us.
It's a reminder of how important it is to protect the life we often take for granted. Which is what life insurance is really about, making sure your loved ones still have choices to make the most of their lives, if you're no longer around.

Willow Creek Church Pastor Bill Hybels' daughter may have exceeded father's fame among millennials. Now, author and podcaster Shauna Niequist will share her wisdom on Oprah Winfrey's Super Soul Sunday.
Niequist appeared on the show to discuss her recent book, Present Over Perfect.
She spoke with Charisma News about her book last year, which deals with how to appreciate right where you are.
"I thought naively that this change was about time management, being more organized, needing a new app or to drink more coffee," Niequist says.
Niequist was choosing to overwork herself. To be set free, she needed to embrace one of the core principles of Christianity: Grace.
"I knew it in my brain, but my soul didn't know the reality of unconditional love. When that became real to me on a daily, blood-in-my-veins level, it set me free to stop pushing, earning, competing," Niequist says. "It allowed me to learn to rest, accept the gift of grace, stop hustling for my worth and value."
She continued, "(I remind myself there is) nothing to do to earn His love, or to ruin or squander His love. When you start and end every day in that place, if that's the reality that grounds everything, then you are free to play, serve, connect. The stakes of the day are now totally different."

Niequist joins the ranks of other popular Christians to be featured on the show, including Carl Lentz and T.D. Jakes.
