From Haifa Street to Mosul
Posted on April 9, 2005 by Baron Bodissey
It seems that a cameraman with an inside track to the terrorists has been captured by US forces in Iraq. CNN reports:
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) — A CBS stringer has been arrested as a suspected insurgent, U.S. military officials said Friday.
The video cameraman was wounded during a firefight in northeastern Mosul between U.S. troops and insurgents Tuesday.
U.S. military officials said the man's camera held footage of a number of roadside bomb attacks against American troops, and they believe he was tipped off to those attacks.
As Belmont Club reported last December, the miraculous appearance of cameramen at precisely the right moment during terrorist attacks appears impossible without prior notification by and co-ordination with the terrorists themselves. Now one of these "journalists" seems to have been caught in the act. At Haifa Street it was an AP stringer; this time he was working for CNN:
CBS said the photographer was hired about three months ago, and it asked news organizations not to identify him.
In a written statement, the network said the man was referred to the network by a "fixer" in Tikrit "who has had a trusted relationship with CBS News for two years."
"It is common practice in Iraq for Western news organizations to hire local cameramen in places considered too dangerous for Westerners to work effectively," the network said.
The US military wants the evidence in the photographer's camera:
One official said at least four videos in the man's camera show roadside bomb attacks on U.S. troops.
All had been shot in a manner that suggested the cameraman had prior knowledge of the attacks and had scouted a shooting location in sight of the target.
We are accustomed to the idea that the major news media in America are fellow travellers with our enemies. From Walter Duranty and his cozy relationship with Stalin, through the television newscasts during the Tet Offensive, to Peter Arnett in Baghdad, the activities of our journalists have often given aid and comfort to those who are implacably opposed to us.
But first at Haifa Street, and now in Mosul, we have something different. How many more are there? The actions of CBS border on active collaboration with the enemy.
Where is the outrage?

Outrage will surely be forthcoming. It will show itself in the form of a Pulitzer prize for his photographs…
Now what if this guy had been in Iran? How many pieces do you think his camera would be in? How many pieces of him would they be holding for ransom?

Master Passwords At Risk in LastPass Security Breach [ALERT]
By Christina Warren 2011-05-05 16:24:48 UTC
Irregular network activity caused cloud-based password management solution LastPass to issue a security notification Wednesday night. In addition to the security notice, LastPass is requiring users to change their master passwords as a precaution.
On its blog, LastPass notes that it noticed some strange network activity in several places in its system. Because the root cause for the traffic couldn't be ascertained, LastPass is assuming the worst.
From its blog:
...We're going to be paranoid and assume the worst: that the data we stored in the database was somehow accessed. We know roughly the amount of data transferred and that it's big enough to have transferred people's email addresses, the server salt and their salted password hashes from the database. We also know that the amount of data taken isn't remotely enough to have pulled many users encrypted data blobs.
LastPass notes that the potential threat in this case is brute-force password attacks, likely using dictionary-based key generators. For that reason, LastPass says users who have strong, non-dictionary based passwords or pass phrases should be fine.
Understanding that not all users have a strict password, however, LastPass is requiring everyone to change their master password.
An unfortunate side effect of all this password changing, however, is overloading the LastPass infrastructure. At 2:15 p.m. Thursday, LastPass posted this update:
Record traffic, plus a rush of people to make password changes is more than we can currently handle.
We're switching tactics — if you've made the password change already we'll handle you normally.
What this means is that LastPass users who have not already changed their passwords will be logged into offline mode. LastPass will work as usual, but the syncing of new passwords won't be available.
Understanding the Real Threat
Operating under LastPass's worst-case assumption that email addresses, server salt and salted password hashes were lifted from the LastPass database, there is little reason to think that users face any substantial risk.
Although crackers may now be able to use brute-force methods to crack the passwords for some users, LastPass is taking major steps to prevent access to user accounts from nefarious sources.
First, the company is requiring that users change their master password. Because of the site's server load, this process could take days. However, all users will be required to change their passwords before they can access their accounts.
Second, LastPass will be verifying that users are who they say they are, by requiring email validation or by having users enter the password change form via an IP block used in the past. In other words, if a request is coming from an IP range thousands of miles away from the last place a user logged in, the user won't gain access without going through another verification layer.
What This Means for the Future
LastPass is one of the largest cloud-based password management tools on the web and through the years, it has proved to be an effective and secure option for individuals and businesses. Mashable has recommended LastPass as a password management solution in the past.
We commend LastPass for making the decision to notify users immediately, require new master passwords and utilize an email/IP-based authentication system.
But we still worry about how and why an attack like this was possible in the first place. LastPass says that its security audit isn't giving much insight into the attack vector. The company's transparency in this matter is admirable — in fact, it's essential — but it's still troubling.
For users who already have qualms with having their passwords stored in the cloud, this incident, unfortunately, will not make things any better.
We're not security experts, but perhaps LastPass could consider requiring that master passwords fit a minimum strength. Password strength meters are already built into the product — if users were required to have a password that would be unsusceptible to dictionary-based brute-force attacks, the consumer-facing risk might be a bit lower.

There's probably no better way to enrage the proponents of precautionary principals than proposing using geoengineering to make obscene amounts of money by working the carbon credits system.
One one hand John Holdren, the chief scientific adviser to US president Barack Obama, said about geoengineering: "It's got to be looked at . . . We don't have the luxury of ruling [out] any approach" while others take a more cautious approach urging that "scientists must beware of tinkering with a system you do not fully understand," a philosophy which simultaneously rules out both using a computer and all medical research since Paracelsus.
Agreed. I think my point was twofold.


On Thursday, Oskeim has decided to release a free sports pick on tonight's NIT Championship game between Penn State and Utah. Oskeim recommends taking the Utes plus the points as today's free sports pick.
Don't miss Oskeim's award-winning MLB Season Package, which is on sale at the online store (save $500)! Check back tomorrow for another free sports pick from the #1 Ranked Handicapping Service in the nation!
My math model favors Penn State by 3.8 points and the Utes apply to a very good 72-32 ATS system that invests on certain .600 or greater underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points that have easily covered the spread in their previous three games.
The Utes fall squarely within this situation as they covered their previous three games by a combined 41 points. In fact, Utah arrives in the NIT Championship game following back-to-back upset wins over St. Mary's (67-58; 6-point underdog) and Western Kentucky (69-64; 2-point underdog).
Utah's success begins at the defensive end of the floor where it is allowing 68.1 points per game to teams that would combine to average 75.6 points per game against a mediocre defense.
More importantly, the Utes have yielded just 64.0 points on 39.2 percent shooting from the field in their last five games. Utah's defense will be challenged by a suddenly resurgent Penn State attack that has scored 1.15 points per possession in this tournament.
Part of that efficiency is due to the positive variance surrounding Shep Garner, who has converted 17-of-33 from beyond the arc (which is unlikely to continue). Indeed, Utah's zone defense extends out to the three-point line where it's limiting opponents to 31.0 percent shooting in postseason play.
Utah head coach Larry Krystowiak saved Utah's season by switching to the base zone defense earlier this year.
Krystowiak's zone has made it difficult for opponents to score inside, which poses a significant problem for a Penn State squad that is ranked in the 57th percentile nationally in zone offense. Utah's zone has not allowed over 1 point per possession in its previous four tournament affairs.
Overall, Penn State's offense has been 4.0 points per game better than average in 2017-18, but the Nittany Lions are only averaging 73.2 points on 42.4 percent shooting from the field in their last five games.
Utah is ranked 42nd in the nation in opponent effective field goal percentage (47.9), 46th in 2-point percentage (46.5), 36th in opponent shooting percentage (41.5) and 43rd in opponent shooting efficiency (1.032).
A key factor in tonight's championship game could be the charity stripe. Specifically, Utah is 39th in the country in free throw percentage (76.0), whereas the Nittany Lions are 231st (70.0).
The Utes are 10th nationally in opponent personal fouls per play (25.9%) and 61st in opponent personal fouls per game (19.6). From a technical standpoint, Utah is a profitable 14-6 ATS following one or more consecutive wins and 4-1-1 ATS in its last six games versus .501 or greater opposition.
In what should be a methodical game defined by both defenses (Utah ranks 320th in average possession length), grab the inflated number with the Utes as Oskeim Sports' free sports pick for Thursday, March 29.

Colts Wire
Colts vs. Jaguars: Staff picks and predictions for Week 18
Kevin Hickey
January 9, 2022, 9:59 AM ·4 min read
The Indianapolis Colts (9-7) are on the road to wrap up the 2021 regular season with a divisional bout at TIAA Bank Field against the Jacksonville Jaguars (2-14) in Week 18.
If the Colts win on the road—something they haven't done in Jacksonville since 2014—they will clinch a playoff berth. If they lose, they need a lot of help in the AFC to clinch.
The expectation is that they will come out with a win, though. Vegas currently has the Colts favored by more than two touchdowns in terms of a spread while the experts around the league have all chosen to side with Indy coming out victorious.
Here's how the Colts Wire staff feels about the outcome of the game:
Kevin Hickey: Colts 24, Jaguars 13

This should be a relatively easy game for the Colts to win. However, it was even a one-score game back in Week 10. Given that the Colts haven't won in Jacksonville since 2014, nothing is a guarantee.
But the Colts should still come out with a win. They are the superior team on both sides of the ball and as long as the run game with Jonathan Taylor gets going, it shouldn't be an issue. Carson Wentz has yet to throw an interception on the road this season so he'll need to continue that storyline on Sunday.
Even if the Colts are potentially without DeForest Buckner (knee), who is questionable, the collective group of playmakers should be enough to keep Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars offense from sustaining drives.
I'm predicting the Colts win this game because I believe they are a playoff team. If they lose this game, they don't deserve to be in the playoffs.

Cody Manning: Colts 38, Jaguars 10

The Indianapolis Colts just need to win to get into the playoffs. The talk all week has been about how this team has struggled to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road since 2014. I'm expecting a highly-motivated team that will come out sharp and put a beating on an inferior opponent like that have all season long.
Jonathan Taylor is going to do his best to get to the 2K rushing mark as his offensive line dominates the trenches. Carson Wentz doesn't need to do much but delivers on one deep touchdown to Parris Campbell in his return to the lineup.
The defense is like a shark that smells blood in the water with the Jaguars offense. They force a couple of turnovers to help cement themselves as the takeaway kings of the NFL. Indianapolis gets this one over before the fourth quarter so they can rest some starters.

John Alfieri: Colts 31, Jaguars 6

Let's not overthink this. While the Colts have not won in Jacksonville since 2014, this game will be a chance for Indy to bounce back after last week's lost and prove they are a force to be reckoned with.
Carson Wentz struggled last week against the Raiders, but after a full week of practice he will bounce back. Expect a big passing day out of a quarterback with a lot to love going into the playoffs.
Jonathan Taylor may have a quieter day, but with the Colts likely getting out to a big lead, Frank Reich may rest his pro bowl running back for the postseason. Look for Nyheim Hines to have a huge day as well.
The Colts will coast into the playoffs with their opponent still to be determined. Regardless, this team is not to be taken lightly come playoff-time. I fully expect this team to make a run deep into the playoffs.
Follow John on Twitter (@alfierijohn)
Nick Melillo: Jaguars 20, Colts 17
Jeremy Brevard-USA TODAY Sports
The Colts have everything to play for after falling short to the Raiders last week. Playoff hopes on the line against a toothless Jacksonville squad waiting for the season to end should be a walk in the park for a contender this year. However, Indianapolis hasn't won on the road against the Jaguars since 2014.
The Colts will aim to end that losing streak but will need some help from an at times inconsistent offense. Colts quarterback Carson Wentz needs to prove he can put the team on his back when defense sells out against the run. When a team has a back as talented as Jonathan Taylor, it should create fear and open up more opportunities in the passing game for Indianapolis. The Colts face a win and in scenario, and should they lose this final game against a 2-14 squad, they didn't belong in the playoffs to begin with.

The Palitoy Death Star: Ingenuity + Frugality = Greatness
Ron writes:
Recently, my friend Yehuda Kleinman told me about the differences he'd noticed among the various versions of what is usually known as the "Palitoy Death Star." I asked him to write this summary putting them into context. So without further ado, here's guest blogger Yehuda on one of my favorite Star Wars toys.
Yehuda writes:
As Kenner Star Wars toys took the United States by storm, it wasn't long before the rest of the world was to follow. Kenner toys -- having successfully risen to the challenge of delivering action figures, playsets and vehicle toys for the first Star Wars movie to children in the United States -- was poised to now market these toys to children throughout the rest of the world.
Kenner toys, being a United States-based toy manufacturer, partnered with well-established foreign toy manufactures in different parts of the world to take over production of the Star Wars toys for the various foreign markets.
Foreign toy manufacturing companies ran into several additional financial obstacles during the production of Star Wars toys. First and foremost, a large licensing fee had to be paid to Kenner for the privilege of producing the toys. Another financial hurdle, particularly for the European markets, was the higher cost of plastics and plastic manufacturing.
In order to make producing toys in the foreign markets feasible and profitable, cost cutting measures had to be taken. This article will be one in a series focusing on the unique differences of the toys and playsets produced worldwide due to this phenomenon. Collectors have grown to appreciate these rare foreign sets for their unique, kitschy, cheaper appearance and alternate features, many of them made with differing materials. Although these changes, at times, decreased the play value of a toy, surprisingly, the changes were often an improvement over the original, more expensive designs. In the case of the Death Star, the necessary changes yielded a beloved, completely unique toy not available in the United States. This post will focus on the European Death Star playset. Originally designed and manufactured by the Palitoy company as an answer to Kenner's "Death Star Space Station." The article will also delineate differences in the sets as they were manufactured globally by other companies.
One of the most well known alliances that Kenner toys ever had was with the Palitoy toy company located in the United Kingdom.
Palitoy was able to produce the first 20 carded figures in a fashion nearly identical to those released in the United States. Though their packaging required minor design changes, there was no sacrifice in quality. However, the financial burdens required by design changes significantly increased with the size of the toy. In general, the larger the plastic toy to be made, the more radical the changes that will be found in the foreign editions.
The Kenner Death Star Space Station was by far the biggest playset that Kenner manufactured for the first Star Wars film. It featured four large plastic floors, and included a plastic elevator, drawbridge, gunner floor with exploding gun, and a working trash compactor with trap door. In order to manufacture a Death Star to Kenner standards, Palitoy had to produce a version with all these features and at the same time keep costs low by using very little plastic. Their solution was cardboard. Where other toys were concerned, Palitoy did its best to stay true to the original Kenner designs. With the cardboard Death Star, however, they created an entirely original design -- one that completely reinterpreted the features of the Kenner toy.
Termed simply the "Death Star" on the box or the " Death Star Play Centre" on the instruction sheet, the playset was a sturdy cardboard hemisphere with colorful graphics measuring approximately 24 inches in diameter and 12 inches in height. Its only plastic parts were a plastic garbage chute; 12 plastic clips to attach the walls of the playset to the base (of which only 10 are needed and two are spare); 6 clear plastic figure stands; a small, very flimsy black gunner chair with a clear canopy; and two guns (identical to those found on the X-Wing).
Palitoy's solution to the Death Star was later adopted by four other countries for manufacture due to its successful cost-cutting measures. Each of the five countries featured minor variations in either packaging or in the playset itself.
The toy was manufactured in Great Britain by Palitoy, Australia by Toltoys Australia, New Zealand by Toltoys New Zealand, France by Meccano, and Canada by Kenner Canada.
Each Country produced a unique box and unique set of instructions, yielding five boxed variations. The Kenner Canada playset also has a special offer version sold through the Sears Christmas Wishbook, which included a special offer sticker advertising two free Stormtroopers included with the playset, bringing the total number of boxed variations to six.
These are as follows:
1. UK: Death Star - Standard palitoy box.
2. France: Etoile Noir - Same graphics, but with text translated into French, and a Meccano logo.
3. Kenner Canada: Death Star - Same graphics, but with Kenner logo.
4. Kenner Canada: Death Star - Special offer with sticker advertising two included stormtroopers, and a Kenner logo.
5. Australia: Death Star - Toltoys logo.
6. New Zealand: Death Star - Toltoys logo, and a unique board-game-style box with a bottom and a lid.
The loose sets, however, comprise only three variations, as the those released in the United Kingdom and France are identical and share Palitoy markings. Additionally, the Toltoys Australia playset is identical to the loose Toltoys set native to New Zealand.
The loose variation breakdown is as follows:
1. Britain and France: The standard Palitoy version, with Palitoy logo on base.
2. Australia and New Zealand: Nearly identical, but with two major differences. First, and most obvious, the base features the base features the Toltoys logo and associated information.
Second, the Toltoys version is made from a material is that is quite different from its European counterpart. Specifically, it's slightly denser. In addition, parts from this set can be differentiated from the Palitoy version by looking at the most superficial layer of the cardboard just beneath the graphics layer on either side of each part. The cardboard on these sets is brown in the innermost portion but tan on the more superficial layers below the graphics, giving the cardboard a striped appearance.
3. Canada: Produced by Kenner Canada subsidiary Irwin Toys, a board game manufacturer, this version lacks graphics on the bottom of the base. Instead, it features a leatherette backing similar to what would be found on the back of a board game. Additionally, Canada being a bi-lingual country, with laws mandating that commercial goods feature both English and French markings, there are some language differences on the Canadian version of the toy. Specifically, the sign above the the trash compactor is printed in both English and French. This is especially interesting considering that, in France, Meccano released the standard Palitoy set printed only in English.
Some other thoughts.
1. The parts of all these sets are compatible, and many sets have been pieced together over the years, leading to a lot of hybrids.
2. All sets were accompanied by an instruction sheet from the country of origin.
3. All sets came with two plastic bags, a large one for the cardboard parts and a smaller one for the plastic ones, and no cardboard box inserts.
4. The set came with two mirrored stickers, to be applied to the base.
5. Some of the Palitoy playsets came with the rare mini-catalog featuring the cardboard Death Star on its cover.
6. The plastic guns are the same as the standard guns found on the X-Wing vehicle.
7. Canada was the only country to have both the plastic version and the cardboard version of the Death Star available at retail. Even Kenner Canada's plastic Death Star had unique packaging. Not only was the box bilingual, it had a unique closure, opening with a hinge situated on the long axis.
8. There are other noticeable differences between the sets, including color variations in printing and slight size changes in cutout size.
9. Of note, the clear plastic stands that were included with the playset were manufactured by Palitoy for their Action Force line. Below is a picture of an Action Force weapon pack, which includes a Palitoy figure stand as well as another rare Star Wars part, the alternate rifle for the Hoth Stormtroper given away as a premium in Germany with a YPS comic.
Below you will also see pictures of the seventh -- and rarest -- version of the playset. Titled The "Ice Star" it was only available in Seattle in the Summer of 2013.

Great summary, now I really need to pick up a Death Star!
Headhunter242 January 20, 2015 at 11:22 AM
I have an immaculate Palitoy Death Star, even the box is almost perfect, far better than the one in the picture and it's totally original, not one of those reprinted boxes that people are doing now. I've had it since I was young and always looked after it. I've been considering selling it for while but the money would have to attractive for me to part with it.

Awesome article Yehuda, it covers everything that can be said about the famous cardboard Death Star !!
Great write-up. THis really helped to clear-up some misconceptions I had. These have always been great sets I would have loved to play with as a kid in the US. This will certainly be an article I will refer to in the future.
Yehuda Kleinman January 23, 2015 at 5:51 AM
Thanks for all the feedback. I'm working on another installment. Stay tuned....


FAITH makes all things possible. LOVE makes all things easy and HOPE makes all things work.
Hi Zinal! I wasn't able to find your email, so just to let you know, I've tagged you. Hop over to my blog to have a look!
What a beautiful, loving person you are to give such care to a little plant. Some people would toss it away and buy another one, but you persevered and brought that little plant back to life. I have so much respect for your values!


The beginning of our new program is rapidly approaching with St. Mark's Christian Eduation kicking off on September 17th. In case you missed it, Stephanie Zayicek has decided to step down from her leadership of our Christian Education program and I will be taking on this position. We extend our thanks and gratitude to her for her many years of service to the children of St Mark's!
We provide young church members with a regularly scheduled meeting time and place for interaction of a community, religious or social nature. Our primary emphasis is on youth fellowship and reaching out to the community. Our goals are to be positive and fun.
We are located in Westhampton Beach, Long Island, New York. We have quite a few members and our group is a combined high school and middle school youth group. On our site, you will be able to find a calendar of upcoming events, updated weekly and we will also have many links.
The first named is the head usher for that service. A reminder will be sent to each head usher prior to his assignment in time for him to contact his group as to attendance or substitutions. Please follow through with this policy.
Remember, if you are unable to usher at the time scheduled, it is your responsibility to secure a replacement. Usually exchanging assignments with another usher accomplishes this. If there are any changes to the schedule, please notify the head usher and our church secretary, Kate (288-2111) by midweek so that corrections can be entered into that Sunday's church bulletin.
The head usher should arrive twenty-five minutes prior to the scheduled service and the remaining ushers at least twenty minutes before the service. After the 8:00 and 10:00 am services please post the attendance. A manual count from the balcony prior to the peace is the most accurate, with the children, teachers and choir counted separately from the congregation. The attendance should be placed on the secretary's desk calendar after the service.
It is also the responsibility of the head usher at the 10:00* am service to select two people or a family to carry the Sacraments to the altar, following the peace.
Any student age 10 and older is welcome to be an acolyte and serve during the 10am services at St. Mark's. Our acolytes rotate their service with other students. For information on becoming an acolyte, please contact Jean Scopinich.
Volunteers from Love in a Dish serve from 90 to 160 homeless and hungry on the first Monday of each month at the First Congregational Church of Riverhead.
Volunteers meet at the First Congregational Church at 3:30 P.M. Dinner is served from 5:30 P.M. to 6:30 P.M. Cleanup takes about 30 minutes, so we are finished by 7:00.
First Congregational Church of Riverhead is located on Main Street between Roanoke Avenue and East Avenue. Although the church faces Main Street, the address of the church is 103 First Street, the back entrance of the church next to the large parking lot behind the church. To get to the parking lot from Main Street, turn on either Roanoke Avenue or East Avenue. Enter the kitchen from the parking lot.

We greatly appreciate the help of those participating in this wonderful program. Thank you for helping us feed those who would otherwise go hungry.
Volunteers from St Marks' Love in a Dish will serve dinner at the Bread at the First Congregational Church, Main Street, Riverhead. Volunteers who would like to help out should meet at the First Congregational Church at 3:30 PM.
Thank you for helping us feed those who would otherwise go hungry.


Transportation can be a barrier to medical care due to lack of access to a vehicle or financial concerns. For children who are living with serious illness, access to medical care is essential. Partnership for Children helps by providing safe, free, and reliable rides to medical appointments, as well as gas card subsidies to ease financial burdens. In Monterey, Santa Cruz, and San Benito counties in California, the closest children's hospitals are hours away at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital in Palo Alto and UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital in San Francisco. Contact us to access transportation support services.
When a child is diagnosed with a serious illness, a family's finances can be strained. Partnership for Children provides financial subsidies to help pay for basic living expenses such as rent or utilities. We coordinate with social workers at hospitals as well as community partners to determine family need, and the family of each qualifying child is eligible to receive up to $500 per year in assistance. Contact us to access financial support services.

Souls and Shinigami (Gin, Open)
Within the Seireitei the numerous squad barracks were draped along many miles of the area, each had a sector for there purpose and living arrangements. Though it was not uncommon to see many members from different squads join up and meet with one another outside their barracks it was quite odd to see any members of the Gotei 13 outside their barracks and going to another this early in the day. This would usually mean that someone is being transferred to the squad or there was an inspection to be had. In the blonde Soul's case it was due to the fact he had heard there was some sort of confectionery treat within the 10th squad barracks. The uproar as he was found lurking in the squad barrack was quite unneeded, it wasn't like he was a enemy or a ryoka, unless you considered being an enemy of cakes everywhere a crime. Many unranked Shinigami gathered around the location of Dansen as he looked to climb over the wall he had previously, looking at the squad members he seemed to show an innocent face all the while eating items from what seemed to be from the pantry of the 10th division. "I don't see what..... Mh the problem is... I just heard the food was good here.... Wanted to test that for myself..." All the while he was talking the Spirit was eating from his hands and looked to the Shinigami only to see that the fact he was still eating made them nothing more than furious.
As they took up their blades to corner him the Spirit jumped up onto the wall he was cornered in. "Sorry I gotta get back thanks for the food though!" The cries for the Soul to stop continued as he jumped down from the wall and dashed through the streets of the Seireitei, he didn't plan on stopping if it was needed he was only there for a snack he didn't see what the fuss was about. As he ran through the streets he caught sight of the sun rising in ever so slightly, it made him worry as he rushed further and further back to the Squad 3 barracks hoping that some from the 10th had stopped trying to chase him down by then. It wasn't with any malice that the blonde Shinigami stole the food it was simply that the food in the 3rd division wasn't very good nor as easy to take, what he took wouldn't be missed and it was just a pick-me-up for his chores and duties that he would have to go through for the day it was an innocent mistake for sure, at least that how Dansen saw most of his acts that tended to make others angry.
Slowing down as he moved through the white walls of the Seireitei the Spirit was sure no one would keep chasing him after awhile it wouldn't be affordable nor would it be that important in the long run, though he was sure that he'd have to get back and get ready for his chores for Squad 3 the Soul still wondered as he walked perhaps a bit to blissfully around the Seireitei while carrying a bunch of foodstuffs that he seemingly did not need. "When I finish quickly I should probably get down to some training, I feel antsy about not doing anything for the last few days." The Spirit had been in the squad 4 barracks for a few days and a few weeks before that, he hadn't had the time to do as he wished and trained his body and his blade for awhile so he was itching for some action soon. Even in times of explicit importance Dansen stilled focused on his will to fight, albeit in a more controlled manner than when he was younger and as the sun creeped up further into the sky he was left wondering what could happen with all the time he had left to use in the day...

Re: Souls and Shinigami (Gin, Open)
On a bright sunny day such as this, usually there would be members of Division Ten scattered all across their section of the Rukongai, some training while others just walking about enjoying the warm summer air. This was commonplace across all the divisions as nearly everyone seemed to be fans of the blissful state of Soul Society these days. After the ridiculous situation involving an Arrancar a few months ago, it seemed the Rukongai had slipped into a state of peace and tranquility. This isn't to say Gotei Thirteen members weren't prepared for battle, however, especially considering the constant training exercises these men and women participated in. And with Division Eleven being Division Eleven, much of Soul Society's population could be more at ease without having to worry about immediate, impending doom. Even without a current captain commander, or even a stand-in, the Gotei Thirteen was doing better than it had in years, especially considering every division now had a ready and able captain to lead them. It truly seemed as though Soul Society was beginning to enter a golden age again, as they had been in over four hundred years ago.
However, something seemed to be amiss in one section of Soul Society. Other than the occasional straggler who likely didn't care about anything that happened around them anyway, the grounds allotted to the Tenth Division of the Gotei were seemingly devoid of life. It was as if something had drawn everyone's attention elsewhere, which must have been pretty important to draw the eyes of so many people. Even the training grounds was nearly empty, which was especially confusing due to the perfect weather for combat exercises. There was really only a single person strolling through the empty area, and this was Inigo Olivier, member of the tenth guard division. The only reason he had seemingly missed whatever happened that grabbed everyone's attention was because he was just now coming back from the nearby produce market. However, this wouldn't be obvious to any observer because he hadn't actually gone there to buy produce, he had gone there to hit on the female shopkeeper, which resulted in a smack to his face and being banned from the market for a month. It was a sad, sad day for Inigo.
Despite the fact that the denial he had just recently received struck him straight down to his core, and thus putting him in an unreasonably extreme depression, his attention was now on the seemingly missing Division members that would usually be out at this time of the day. This was especially disappointing for Inigo because after his recent rejection, he could really use some combat training to take his mind off of his failure. Looking around, he surveyed his surroundings. Initial assessment is....it's....err.....things are weird. Inigo's thoughts were full of intelligent observations like this. He decided the best course of action would be to make his way back to the main barrack as quick as possible, so he immediately switched to running, moving at a pretty quick pace to shorten his time. However, his mind quickly began to wander back to the shopkeeper. He thought about her gorgeous black hair, her great laugh, her great big........*THUD*.
It seemed as though while his mind was preoccupied by other, er, things, Inigo had accidentally run straight into another man that seemed to be going in the opposite direction. Momentarily dazed, the only thing Inigo could make out because of the white that now clouded his vision was the bright golden hair that sat atop the person's head, reflecting the sun's rays brilliantly. His thoughts quickly changed from annoyance from running into someone, to something else entirely. Oh man, that's some hair she's got there.....I bet she has an even better....fa......oh god.As his vision began to clear, Inigo quickly realized his mistake: the person he had run into was a man, not a woman. He quickly stood back up and drew his Zanpakutō from its sheathe that usually rested on on his lower back, and pointed the sword's tip at the person he now very much hated. His voice was notably shaken.
"D-damn you.....how dare you have such nice h---I mean, how dare you run into me! I'll teach you a lesson in manners!"
Dansen seemed to be ill-fated to have a few roadblocks in his way back to his barracks as he was forced back by the arrival of a new figure looming directly towards him. The other spirit seemed to not notice Dansen as he hurried himself along back to Squad 3 it was an unfortunate occurrence that the two knocked into one another, the blonde soul managed to keep himself off the ground as he had just seen the other coming but for the one he happened to slam into it was not so lucky. It seemed that he was dazed for a moment as he did not get up right away from the knockdown but as the blonde spirit quickly moved to the other Shinigami's side he yelled out to him. "Hey you okay? Sorry didn't see you there you're not hurt are you?" The Spirit put himself just above the other soul as the other began to seemingly get more color in his face and less glazing in his eyes. It was then that Dansen seemed to freak him out.
The moment the other Spirit seemed to know where he was Dansen was instantly under pressure from a blade to his personal space as the new face seemed to be irregularly flustered it seemed clear as he began making one speech all before stuttering and challenging Dansen due to running into him it was quite an oddity but the other Shinigami seemed to be shaken, where it was from Dansen running into him or something else that happened was unclear for the most part. The Soul took a bite out of a rice ball from his arm only to look at the other Shinigami once again with a rather confused face not really worrying about the blade that was pointed towards him as he began to speak with a full mouth. "Hey, hey no need to be so aggressive you hit your head or something?" Finishing the rice ball the Spirit gestured with another item of food seemingly a piece of melon bread, he allowed it to fall from his grasp so as to kick it up to the top of the head of the other Shinigami. "Oh nice shot! See that's enough payment for the incident right? I don't think you need to exhibit such violence as a lesson." The spirit took another piece of bread and took a large bite almost finishing it there with a satisfied look on his face as he noted the still rather sizable amount of food he had left to finish. "Ah that's good food... More where that came from."
The Shinigami kept his arms filled with the food even with the threat towards him, though the sword was close enough that he could be cut without much trouble. He was not looking for a fight but it seemed that he did something that made the other Spirit angry or at least uncomfortable so he was unsure if he should be on guard or simply trying to put the other at ease. If he needed to Dansen would take up arms to stop the other Shinigami or at least to protect himself but he had trouble taking any sort of fight to those who he considered his allies and though he did not know this Shinigami by face or name he had guessed he was not someone who needed an ass-kicking though that would need to be revealed with the other Soul's reaction to the apology. But at the sign of any sort of offence or having that sword being swung at him the blonde Soul would probably have to deal with this situation it wasn't anything personal but Dansen wasn't willing to let him or his food be injured due to a sword slash. He was probably going to be late for the attendance at the barracks but he was fine with being late by a few minutes it meant that he could catch with all those chores and duties while also getting some fun battle practice from the red-faced spirit that was rattling his katana at him for reasons that seemed still quite unclear maybe it would be revealed to him within the Spirit's own time still he was sure that it wasn't that bad...


Those who visit alpine huts in Austria are impressed by their age-old character and rustic charm. The wooden structures reveal a story of labor and hardship. What is life like in the alpine huts today?
"Wow, life on a high meadow farm…how lovely!" Sure it is. Breathtaking views, grazing cattle, a cozy-rustic atmosphere, sunshine and homemade pastries. But upon closer inspection, this romantic glorification turns out to be a bit of an illusion. Despite modern conveniences like electricity, internet, machines and better transport logistics, it's not easy to farm alpine pastures. Why do we still make the effort and how has the function of our huts changed over time?
In the 5th century, farmers were grazing animals above the tree line. Of course at that time, good paths were scarce. The valleys were mostly inaccessible and marshy. It took centuries before the valley floors were developed into reliable transport routes. The 7th century is generally what we consider to be the beginning of alpine farming and in the 14th and 15th centuries, the industry was flourishing. Butter and cheese were the best choice for preserving and transporting alpine milk and these products were sent down to their masters and monasteries. There wasn't much pastureland around the farms in the valley below since arable land was often planted with grains, making it necessary to graze the cows in far-flung mountain meadows. The high elevation was considered a Fountain of Youth for the animals who spent their summers on the high pasture – they were stronger and more robust.
In the 1950s alpine farming blossomed, but just ten years later things changed. With advances in equipment and cheap imported meats, the culture almost died out. There was a shortage of people who wanted to work the high farms; former herdsmen and women started taking jobs closer to home in factories.
But then something wonderful happened: tourist recreation saved our way of life. International guests as well as locals began exploring mountain paths, riding mountain bike trails and traversing ski pistes. They stopped in for refreshment at the huts, some staying overnight. Once again, there was an interest and desire for the products and services. This is also true for the Zillertal. We still drive the cattle up in springtime to the lower meadows and after a few weeks grazing here, the cows are driven further still to the high meadows or Hochleger where they spend the entire summer with someone like me.
Of course it's not easy finding someone willing to work alone for months, caring for the animals, milking at dawn, making the cheese and serving food and drink to the public. Luckily, we still find good people (some even from cities) who are willing to take a cheese course and spend their summers in the mountains. Money is not the object. What draws people to this work is a time-out from a hectic, technology-driven lifestyle. Here in the high mountains, we still offer breathtaking views, grazing cows, a cozy-rustic atmosphere and sunshine.
In Austria there are approximately 8,400 high pastures, amounting to 20% of the country's landmass. In the summer months 7,000 herdsmen and women manage around 500,000 dairy cows, beef cattle, horses, sheep and goats. In Tirol alone, there are more than 3,000 shepherds. Many customs in the rural communities trace their roots back to these ancient farm practices. These traditions enrich our events and festivities throughout the year and have gained appreciation from non-farmers and visitors alike.

A bomb injured at least 18 people Wednesday in a southern Philippine town in an attack believed to be either an extortion attempt or retaliation by Muslim militants targeted in recent military offensives, officials said.
Regional army commander Maj. Gen. Cirilito Sobejana said the bomb went off outside a small restaurant in Isulan town in Sultan Kudarant province. Unidentified people had recently tried to extort money from the restaurant owner, who refused to pay up, he said.
The attack also may have been carried out by Muslim militants belonging to the Bangsamoro Freedom Fighters who have been targeted by military offensives, Sobejana said.
The explosion injured at least 18 people, including children, and damaged chairs and tables and scattered broken glass and other debris over the floor of the restaurant.
"The owner received an extortion letter last week but it was not reported to authorities. The ultimatum (to pay) is this week," Sobejana said.
Isulan in Sultan Kudarat province has been hit by bombings by suspected Muslim militants in recent months despite tightened security in an impoverished southern region where the government and the largest Muslim rebel group are implementing a new Muslim autonomy deal. About 12,000 fighters of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front are to be demobilized under the peace accord brokered by Malaysia starting this year.
The Bangsamoro Freedom Fighters and smaller allied groups which have aligned with the Islamic State group reject the peace deal and have vowed to continue fighting government forces.


Apparently I have some free tickets to the 2006 ING New Zealand PGA Championship at Clearwater Golf Club and Resort. The event runs from Thursday, 23 February to Sunday, 26 February 2006. As well as the golf competition there's also four free golf clinics a day. Join in with our golf pros and learn from the best.
I've got a "Family Season Pass" which I think means two adults and as many under 16's that you can cram into your car, per day. If anyone I know wants to join me get in contact.

Two-day Accessibility Innovation Showcase to characteristic merchandise from forty eight exhibitors, with some of the sleekly-designed wearable technologies also on display at the occasion's vogue present. This view is a major source for the widely spread picture of expertise as being instrumental, as delivering devices ordered from 'elsewhere', as means to ends specified exterior of engineering, an image that has served additional to assist the claim that expertise is neutral with respect to values, mentioned in Section 3.three.1. This view includes a substantial distortion of actuality, nonetheless.
Karl Marx didn't condemn the steam engine or the spinning mill for the vices of the bourgeois mode of production; he believed that ongoing technological innovation were necessary steps toward the more blissful phases of socialism and communism of the longer term (see Bimber (1990) for a latest discussion of various views on the position of expertise in Marx's principle of historical improvement).
Stone Age – The event of straightforward instruments from wooden or shards of rock and the discovery of fireplace, which offered a way to cook dinner meals and create heat and light-weight, were technological developments which allowed individuals to accomplish duties extra easily and rapidly.
To make certain, a case can be made that, in comparison with the continuity existing between natural philosophy and science, an analogous continuity exists between central questions in philosophy having to do with human action and sensible rationality and the way expertise approaches and systematizes the solution of sensible problems.
Of specific significance has been the emergence of 'Science and Know-how Studies' (STS) in the 1980s, which research from a broad social-scientific perspective how social, political, and cultural values have an effect on scientific research and technological innovation, and how these in flip have an effect on society, politics, and culture.

So here you will learn to make simple DIY Storage basket in some easy steps. Because they help to make your clean and also store your stuff in an organized manner.
For make sure that the t-shirt you using has no prints at all. Now cut the t-shirt just below the sleeves. And also cut the bottom seal of the t-shirt. Now fold the t-shirt leaving 2 cm margin at the end after that place marking on every 2 cm using a ruler and marker. Do the same on the other side as well. Now using scissor cut strips of 2 cm (Make sure that you cut only the lower fold of the t-shirt) And then cut the last strip through the entire part. Now make diagonal lines (for better understand see video) and then cut it (it will help you to get long yarn). Now just stretch the strips and make a bun of it.
The first step is for making the slip knot as shown in the video and insert the hook in the first one and crochet the first strip and then you will get a little circle crochet five times from the center of the circle. Do until the size you wish to make. After you make the base there is a little change here we crochet only one strip. Now after the first circle continues the crochet from both the stitches of yarn do until the size you wish to make. you can also use the double or triple yarn for making the colorful basket by using 2 different plane t-shirt.

The Cornell Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy Recognition Ceremony for the Class of 2022
SPEAKER: Please welcome now the inaugural graduating class of the Cornell Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy. [MUSIC - "POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE"] [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] Please welcome the faculty of the Cornell Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy. [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] Please welcome the Cornell Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy inaugural Dean, Colleen L. Barry. [APPLAUSE] MARIA FITZPATRICK: Good afternoon. I am Maria Fitzpatrick, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs in the Jeb E. Brooks School Of Public Policy. I am honored to welcome you to the inaugural Brooks School Commencement Ceremony. Despite a little bit of a soggy start, I hope that you are all having a great weekend. We are gathered here today to celebrate the achievements, success, and bright futures of our Brooks School graduates from the class of 2022. On behalf of the University, I wish to remind all participants that Cornell values free speech and open inquiry and expression and strives to create a community where diverse opinions can be expressed and heard. By University policy, our speakers have a right to speak without intimidation, and the audience has a right to hear what our speakers have to say. Next, we wish to acknowledge that Cornell University is located on the traditional homelands of the Gayogohó:no, the Cayuga Nation. The Gayogohó:no are members of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, an alliance of six sovereign nations with a historic and contemporary presence on this land. The Confederacy precedes the establishment of Cornell University, New York State, and the United States of America. We acknowledge the painful history of Gayogohó:no dispossession and honor the ongoing connection of Gayogohó:no people, past and present, to these lands and waters. And finally, before I introduce the dean, I would also like to offer a special thanks to the Brooks School Commencement Committee who arranged this event and to the Brooks school staff who have volunteered to make this event possible. Please join me in a round of applause. [APPLAUSE] Now, it is my pleasure to introduce Dean Colleen Barry. [APPLAUSE] Colleen L. Barry is the inaugural dean of the Cornell Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy. She is a nationally and internationally recognized research scholar, educator, and leader in the areas of mental health and addiction policy, violence prevention policy, and policy communication. Dr. Barry's research focuses on how health and social policies can affect a range of outcomes for individuals with mental illness and substance abuse and communities at risk for violence. She is an elected member of the National Academy of Medicine and the National Academy of Social Insurance. As the founding dean, Dr. Barry has had an influential role in building Cornell's newest school into one of international prominence, developing its academic programs, and establishing partnerships across campuses and at major policy centers. The Brooks School is dedicated to solving the most challenging issues of our time through research and scholarship, public engagement, and rigorous training of a next generation of leaders. In her research and in work as the inaugural dean, Dr. Barry's goal is to improve lives by advancing effective, evidence-based policy. The students, faculty, and staff benefit tremendously from Dean Barry's leadership, enthusiasm, scholarship, and dedication. Please join me in welcoming her to the podium. [APPLAUSE] COLLEEN L. BARRY: To the class of 2022, our inaugural class of the Cornell Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy, congratulations. [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] This is our moment to celebrate each of you and everything you have achieved at Cornell and up to this point in your lives. And as we congratulate you, our grads, I want to take a moment to thank those who have also contributed to making this day possible. First, congratulations parents, family members, and close friends. All of you who are here today have played an indispensable role in supporting our graduates to reach this day. It is wonderful to behold such a marvelous group of proud parents, family members, and friends. And I know there are many not here with us today who have also supported you to achieve your goals, and they are here with us in spirit. Graduates, join me in thanking your loved ones for everything they have done to support you by applauding them very loudly with me now. [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] In addition to thanking your loved ones, let me thank your faculty, your program directors, your advisors, our incredibly talented staff who have dedicated themselves to supporting you to thrive in your studies and position you to make a difference in the world through your work. And thank you to our wonderful volunteers and to all of the members of our Brooks School Commencement Committee who have made this day possible. Thank you all. [APPLAUSE] Since this is our first Brooks School commencement, I want to also take a moment to gratefully acknowledge the visionary leadership of the Board of Trustees at Cornell, of President Pollack, of Provost Kotlikoff, and all of the University leaders who are involved in the work and planning that led to the establishment of the Cornell Jeb E. Brooks School this year, over 40 years in the making. And of course, I want to express my deep gratitude to Jeb Brooks and Cherie Wendelken for their incredible philanthropic support in naming our school. I am truly inspired by you, this class of inaugural Brooks School graduates, your accomplishments, your persistence, your hard work, your determination. You studied here, within the walls of this great University during a once in a lifetime global pandemic. We have all been changed by this experience. And it has made the task that you originally set for yourselves in coming here harder in both large and small ways. It's never easy to earn a Cornell degree. In these pandemic years, it has been even more challenging. You have displayed fortitude in the face of virtual classrooms, social isolation, illness, and for some of us, in the face of painful loss. As we continue to struggle as a global society to turn the corner of the pandemic, we find that our society is a bit more frayed. By any measure, polarization has increased. We are more challenged than in the past to find pathways to civil discourse. The world around you may well feel more foreboding than it ever has. And I hope that your years at Cornell have brought you the knowledge, skills, determination, grace, and a good measure of courage to meet the complicated world that you are graduating into. As our first graduating class of the Brooks School, you will always hold a special place in the history of our school and in the University. Your commencement is our first. We have literally been building the foundations of the school around you over the course of this year. You're graduating, in a very real sense, from a start up venture, albeit a startup at a world-renowned Ivy League University. I just arrived in Ithaca and at Cornell this past September. And for me, being on the ground floor of this new enterprise of a school, this act of creation, has been exhilarating every single day. It's not often that we, as humans, get to start something wholly new. And it has reminded me of the creative force that comes with this start-up work. Through so much of our lives, we follow well-worn paths. We don't question the structures that our lives are tethered to because we believe we are following the same road of those that have come before us and will go after us. We're not often forced explicitly to make it up as we go along. The regularity of the structures of our lives obscures the fact that, in truth, we're all just making it up as we go along. We think we know what's around the corner. But, of course, we don't. As dean, this experience of starting a new school at Cornell, a school that will be around 100 years from now, has reminded me of the creative power of living life in start-up mode, of my own power to start something new. And it motivates me to encourage all of you to approach this next critical phase of your lives with a start-up mentality. Even if the very next step of your career will be following a well-worn path of someone that came before you and will go after you, approaching life with a start-up mentality means leaning into your own creativity, your power to make it up as you go, but with an eye to building something that will be truly extraordinary and enduring. With a start-up mentality, I believe that every one of you will have the power to do what you always plan to do in coming here, but with greater impact. You can do more to improve people's lives. Do more to reduce suffering in the world. Do more to make our world a more equitable, more prosperous and healthier place. And in doing so, you will be living up to the investment made in you by your teachers and your professors and your coaches and your faith leaders and your family, but in a manner that is wholly your own. Living life with a start-up mentality means that your career will probably not follow a linear path. It's often the case that people who succeed at places like Cornell do so with a singular focus on linear progress. If I work very hard and apply myself in step one, I can move to step two. If I apply myself unwaveringly to step two, I can move to step three, and so on. Through our younger years, through high school, through college, through grad school, the visual image is an unrelenting push along a straight line. This linear push, if done with sufficient force, explains much of the success of those in this room, I would guess. You are graduates, but also maybe your parents, our faculty, our staff. Certainly, it tells much of the story of my own life. But at some point, the linear path forward breaks down. It does for all of us. We stumble. We take a hard hit. We lose a portion of our confidence. We find ourselves wandering in the desert, and we need to start again. Let's take a moment to look around us here in Bailey Hall. This building is so beautiful. The first time I came here was for a Wynton Marsalis concert a few weeks after I arrived in Ithaca and at Cornell. It's fitting that we're holding this first commencement celebration here in this building that has hosted so many important events in the life of Cornell. And now, the rich history of this building includes this historic day in your lives and in the early life of our school. Bailey Hall is unique on our campus of beautiful buildings because it's a circle. There is such unexpected beauty in it for this reason. Take a moment to admire it and to appreciate this moment. If we think about our lives creatively, with a start-up mentality, perhaps the better metaphor is a circle rather than a straight line. The metaphor of the circle offers ample opportunity to more regularly take stock, to make sure we still remember what motivated us to do this work to begin with, to make sure we're still happy and finding joy in what we do and in our lives, to circle back regularly, to recall the values that sparked our initial interest and our passion for what we do. Circling back allows us to reflect on how much we're the same over the course of our lives, that were not really that different from our 16-year-old selves. Circling back offers the opportunity to start-up again in a new direction. The architect of Bailey Hall knew the power and the beauty of circular design, how we are able to see each other and hear each other better if we angle in. I want to close with an invitation. Come around again. Cornell and the Brooks School will always be your home. Take advantage of the opportunity to circle back around and visit your professors and our staff, to experience how proud they are of what you're doing with your lives. There is no greater pleasure for us on the faculty than to watch you thrive. Find ways to stay connected to your classmates. They offer a powerful network that can serve you well over the course of your careers. And these friendships can be enduring in ways that can help you through the harder moments. Circle back around and be mentors to future classes of Brooks School students, to support them to excel. Retrace your steps to campus. Revisit what you've learned. Come back to Bailey Hall at some point and stand alone in the empty building and remember your graduation day, what it took to get here, what you accomplished while you were here, and how you have used your Cornell degree to make the world a better place. Feel proud of yourselves and know that we are very proud of you. Congratulations to each of you, the first Brooks School class, the class of 2022. [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] MARIA FITZPATRICK: Now it is my pleasure to announce the recipients of the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy John Siliciano Student Leadership Award. Would the recipients please begin making their way to the stairs next to the podium. Once your name is read, please join Dean Barry on stage to receive your certificate. As they make their way up here, I'd like to tell you a bit more about Deputy Provost Siliciano and this award in his honor. John Siliciano is stepping down this year as deputy provost at Cornell after 39 years of distinguished service and scholarship at the University. Among his many achievements and contributions to Cornell, Deputy Provost Siliciano played an indispensable role in the creation of the Brooks School. Starting this year, the Siliciano Leadership Award will recognize graduating, undergraduate, and professional students, Brooks School students, who display leadership through stellar academic achievement, public engagement, and distinguished service to the University. This year's awardees are Omotoyosi Ibukunoluwa Ayanwola, health care policy-- [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] --Craig Spencer Schulman, policy analysis and management-- [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] --Jefferson Akers, master of health administration-- [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] --and Andrew Siyan Wen, master of public administration. [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] We will now present the graduates of the class of 2022. We will present the students receiving their degrees, grouped by program in the following order, bachelor of science in health care policy, bachelor of science in policy analysis and management, executive master's of health administration, master of health administration, master of public administration, and doctor of philosophy and policy analysis and management. Graduates, please follow the guidance of our staff to walk across the stage and receive your certificate. A photographer will take photos of the graduates as they receive their certificates from Dean Barry. If you would like to remove your mask to walk across the stage and for the photos, please put it back on as you leave the stage. We ask all guests to remain in your seats during the awarding of degrees. And I know this will be hard, but please save your applause until after the awardees from each degree program have been announced. I would now like to introduce Professor Sharon Sassler, Director of Undergraduate Studies, who will lead us in honoring our graduates with bachelor of science degrees. [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] SHARON SASSLER: [READING NAMES] Please join me in round of applause for our bachelor of science in health care policy graduates. [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] [READING NAMES] COLLEEN L. BARRY: Congrats. SHARON SASSLER: [READING NAMES] Please join me in round of applause for our bachelor of science in policy analysis and management graduates. [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] Next, Professor Sean Nicholson, Director of the Sloan Program, will introduce the master of health administration degree recipients. [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] SEAN NICHOLSON: So I'd like to begin with the executive master of health administration graduates. [READING NAMES] Please join me in a round of applause for our executive masters in health administration graduates. [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] [READING NAMES] You're going to bring the house down. [READING NAMES] So please join me in a round of applause for our master in health administration graduates. [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] Next, Professor Matthew Hall, Director of the Cornell Institute for Public Affairs, will introduce the master of public administration degree recipients. MATTHEW HALL: [READING NAMES] Please join me in a round of applause for our masters in public administration graduates. [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] I now welcome Associate Dean Maria Fitzpatrick back to the podium to read the doctoral degree recipients. [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] MARIA FITZPATRICK: [READING NAMES] Please join me in a round of applause for our doctoral degree candidates. [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] I would now like to welcome Dean Barry back to the podium. COLLEEN L. BARRY: It is my great honor to present you, the class of 2022, the inaugural graduating class for the Cornell Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy. Please join me in congratulating our graduates now. [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] Now, please continue standing if you are able, to join our graduates in singing the Alma Mater. You will find the words in your program and on the screen right up here. [MUSIC - "FAR ABOVE CAYUGA'S WATERS"] Far above Cayuga's waters, with its waves of blue, stands our noble Alma Mater, glorious to view. Lift the chorus, speed it onward, loud her praises tell. Hail to thee, our Alma Mater! Hail, all hail, Cornell! Far above the busy humming of the bustling town, reared against the arch of heaven, looks she proudly down. Lift the chorus, speed it onward, loud her praises tell. Hail to thee, our Alma Mater! Hail, all hail, Cornell! [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] MARIA FITZPATRICK: Congratulations again to the Brooks class of 2022. [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] Graduates and faculty, please follow our usher's instructions and head outside to line up for a class photo before our toast reception on the plaza. We ask that all guests remain in your seats until all of the graduates and faculty have left Bailey Hall. Then, please join us on the plaza for our celebration reception. [MUSIC PLAYING]

Barry delivered the commencement address, Senior Associate Dean of Academic Affairs Maria Fitzpatrick congratulated the graduates, and four students were named as recipients of the John Siliciano Award, the school's endowed academic and leadership achievement award, named for Cornell Deputy Provost John Siliciano.

ZX80 je první počítač společnosti Sinclair Research Ltd. založené Clivem Sinclairem. S cenou 99,95 liber to byl první počítač, který se prodával za cenu menší než 100 liber. Jako stavebnice se prodával dokonce za 79 liber. Předchůdcem počítače je stavebnice kalkulačky MK14. Jeho následníkem je počítač ZX81.

Podle designéra Ricka Dickinsona je počítač pojmenován po procesoru Z80 s přidaným písmenem X jako "magickou ingrediencí".

Hardware
 Procesor: Z80
 RAM: 1 kB
 ROM: 4 kB

Klony počítače ZX80

Klony počítače ZX80 vznikaly především v Brazílii, kde v době uvedení počítače ZX80 na trh platilo omezení, že zahraniční výrobci počítačů nesmí své výrobky na brazilském trhu prodávat. Varianty počítače ZX80 tak vyráběla společnost Microdigital Eletrônica Ltda. a divize Nova Electrônica společnosti Prológica Microcomputadores Ltda. (k nim se později připojily s variantami počítače ZX81 ještě společnosti CDSE, Engebrás Eletrônica e Informática Ltda. a Ritas do Brazil).

V USA naopak kvůli výrobě kopie počítače ZX80 došlo k soudnímu sporu. Spor vznikl kvůli počítači Microace, který byl vyráběn firmou Microace of 1384 East Edinger, Santa Ana, CA 92705, USA brzo po uvedení počítače ZX80. Soudním procesem se Sinclairem byla jeho výroba zastavena. Později byl uváděn jako klon počítače ZX81 (pokud byly tehdejší upoutávky na tento počítač pravdivé, tak už šlo o výrobu licencovanou firmou Sinclair). Vyráběl se ve dvou verzích, s 1 KiB nebo se 2 KiB RAM, v obou případech pouze jako stavebnice.

In it, the past and present connect, old and young rub shoulders, and the aspirations of both touch each other. Once she finds the perfect frame, she stays with it and let the life within it unfold and with it - the grandeur and magic of the everyday.

The more fragile partner in the relationship and consumed by his dreams, he desires more from himself and his life. Zack, the 'shill' in the duo's con, physically and emotionally stronger than Blake, is content with their lives as wayward travelers who have found themselves squatting in an abandoned theater on Coney Island.
