There are 145 schools in Christchurch, New Zealand's second most-populous city, serving approximately 59,000 primary and secondary school students. Most schools are large urban schools based in the city of Christchurch itself, including some of the largest in the country, with several small rural primary schools and a combined primary/secondary school on Banks Peninsula.

In New Zealand schools, students begin formal education in Year 0 or Year 1 at the age of five depending on the school. Year 13 is the final year of formal education. The thirteen years of formal education are generally broken up into primary education (Years 1 to 8) and secondary education (Years 9 to 13). Generally, students complete Years 1 to 6 at a primary school and Years 9 to 13 at a secondary school. Years 7 and 8 may be taken at a primary school, secondary school, or a separate intermediate school. There are also composite schools which cover both primary and secondary education.

State schools are those fully funded by the government and at which no fees for tuition of domestic students (i.e. New Zealand citizens and permanent residents, and Australian citizens) can be charged, although a donation is commonly requested. A state integrated school is a former private school with a special character based on a religious or philosophical belief that has been integrated into the state system. Private schools charge fees to its students for tuition, as do state and state integrated schools for tuition of international students. In Christchurch, approximately 77 percent of students attend state schools, 15.5 percent attend state integrated schools, and 7.5 percent attend private schools.

The roll of each school changes frequently as students start school for the first time, move between schools, and graduate or drop out. The rolls given here are those provided by the Ministry of Education, and are based on figures from  The Ministry of Education institution number links to Education Counts page for each school.

State schools

State primary and intermediate schools

All state primary and intermediate schools in Christchurch (and New Zealand) are coeducational.

State secondary and composite schools

State-integrated schools
State-integrated schools are former private schools with a special character based on a religious or philosophical belief that has been integrated into the state system under the Private Schools Conditional Integration Act 1975. They were established in the early 1970s as a response to the near-collapse of the country's then private Catholic school system, which had run into financial difficulties. The majority of state-integrated schools in Christchurch (and New Zealand) continue to be Catholic schools.

State integrated schools charge "attendance dues" to cover the building and maintenance of school buildings, which are not owned by the government, but otherwise they like state schools cannot charge fees for tuition of domestic students but may request a donation.

2013 state school network review
During 2013, Education Minister Hekia Parata announced a multitude of proposed changes to the state school network in Christchurch. In addition, Parata announced changes to some schools in the Selwyn and Waimakariri Districts.

In January 2014, six schools closed, four schools merged into two, and three schools added years in the first phase of changes. A third merger between Lyttelton Main School and Lyttelton West School took effective on 5 May 2014. The minister also confirmed and gazetted that Phillipstown School and Woolston School would merge on the Woolston site in January 2014. However, in June 2013, Phillipstown School asked the High Court for a judicial review, claiming Parata had acted illegally and made errors in her decision to close and merge the school. The review was accepted by the court, and the hearing began on 30 September 2013. On 10 October 2013, the High Court ruled in favour of Phillipstown School and overruled the Minister's decision. However, the merger went ahead, and on 2 February 2015, Te Waka Unua opened as the merged school on the site of the former Woolston School.

Rebel fighters examine damage in Aleppo. Russia mounted air strikes after a suspected gas attack.
THE HAGUE, Netherlands — The global chemical weapons watchdog is considering sending inspectors to investigate an alleged poison gas attack by rebels in Syria that wounded dozens, its director-general said Monday.
Syria's state-run SANA news agency said the suspected chemical attack late Saturday was carried out by "terrorist groups positioned in Aleppo countryside" that fired shells containing toxic gases on three neighborhoods in the city.
Syria has asked the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons to investigate and officials at the Hague-based agency have been in touch with U.N. experts "to assess the security situation on the ground for a possible deployment" of a fact-finding mission, Director-General Fernando Arias told a meeting of the organization's member states.
Arias said different sources put the number of wounded at between 50 and 100.
The OPCW's fact-finding mission is tasked with investigating alleged chemical attacks in Syria and reporting back to the organization and the United Nations. It has probed several attacks in Syria blamed on both government forces and rebels. The OPCW also has recently been empowered — against the wishes of Syria and its ally Russia — to apportion blame for chemical attacks.
Russian military spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said warplanes destroyed militant positions in northern Syria linked to the alleged gas attack.
The announcement in the Hague came shortly before President Bashar Assad reshuffled his Cabinet, replacing nine officials including the minister in charge of internal security. Such cabinet reshuffles are not uncommon in Syria.


After the exquisite Schubert piano trio that opens the programme, we are served up the "Dumky" Trio by Antonin Dvorak, inspired by the composer's love of Slavic folksongs. (Dumka - plural dumky - describes a psychological state between melancholy and reverie, or "an epic ballad of brooding intensity." ) The Trio is one of Dvorák's most original and characteristic works. Rather than following the traditional chamber music forms of three or four movements beginning with one in sonata-form, he cast the Dumky Trio in six movements, each in a different key, and each presenting the characteristic alternation of moods of his conception of the dumka.
You will rarely see a violinist play with more verve, passion and joy than Tamás Vásárhelyi, violinist extraordinaire, born in Germany to Hungarian parents. No newcomer to Sa Taronja, Tamás first played for us in 2007 and again in 2012. A passionate lover of chamber music, he is now with the Chamber Orchestra of Basel, and has played with the Berlin Philharmonic and been a member of the Mahler chamber orchestra and the Mondial Piano Quartet, seen regularly on the European stage.
He is accompanied by cellist Maximilian von Pfeil, who not only has worked regularly with the DSO in Berlin since 2003 but also plays with the Basel Chamber Orchestra, the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, the SWR Stuttgart Orchestra and the Gewandhaus Orchestra in Leipzig. He plays a cello made in the mid-nineteenth century by Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume, a great French luthier who followed in the footsteps of Stradivarius. Like many of the superlative musicians who feature in our "Serenata Berlin" series, he is in love with chamber music, and flies all over the continent - and the world - to bring pleasure to music lovers and to himself. This is the second time he has come to Sa Taronja, where he appreciates the intimacy of the performance space and the enthusiasm of the audience.
We are honoured to have Paul Rivinius to complete the trio, on his third trip to Sa Taronja. Much in demand as a top chamber musician, a pianist (and prizewinning horn-player) laden with awards, he has played with the Clemente Trio in New York's Carnegie Hall and London's Wigmore Hall, among many other world class concert halls. In addition, Paul Rivinius has played with his brothers Benjamin, Gustav and Siegfried in the Rivinius Piano Quartet and in the Mozart Piano Quartet since 2004.

Q: windows refuses to boot from original nvme drive after cloning to a sata drive Background:
After learning about a potential firmware issue with one of my nvme drives (search: Samsung 980/990 pro read-only bricking 2023 February). I decided to apply the appropriate firmware updates to the Samsung drive. The easiest way to do so is from Windows using the Samsung magician software.
Before doing any of that I decided to clone the win11 system to a SATA drive and the same with my Linux system. In a nutshell the cloning process could be described like this:
 nvme1 (force mp600) -> sata1  { Windows 11 }
 nvme2 (evo 980 pro) -> sata2  { Linux }

All of the drives in question have the same 2tb capacity. I used dd_rescue to clone the original drives to the sata drives. There were no I/O errors during that process.
The original linux (980 pro) and clone are doing fine, and despite having found an alarming amount of SMART errors on the 980 nvme, it seems do be doing fine. The firmware patch is applied and that's over and dealt with.
The problem:
After booting the "isolated windows system" from the mp600 nvme as usual, with the intention to download samsung magician and apply the patch to the other 980-nvme drive, the following happened:
Windows decided to use the cloned partition for the C: drive from the cloned drive. Presumably because the SATA drives are discovered before the NVME drives in this BIOS and on this motherboard (x570 pro4 by asrock). So after a painfully slow boot process and a lot of cursing I realized that Windows is now using C: from the much slower cloned drive instead of using the original.
To this I thought, well no big deal. I'll just unplug the clone and boot as usual. Nope.
BSOD.
Recovery
Your PC/Device needs to be repaired
A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed

Error code: 0xc000000e {0x c000 000e}

You'll need to use recovery tools (bla, bla, bla)

I tried to apply the "usual" repair-from installation media fix. Nope:
BSOD.
 Startup Repair couldn't repair your PC.
 Press "advanced options" to try other options to repair your PC or "Shut down" to turn off your PC.

 Log file: \System32\Logfiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt

Since then, I've tried to clone back from the SATA clone to the NVME, with the same last BSOD as the final result.
Curiously enough the original system boots just fine from the cloned drive and the C, D, E partitions from the source are replaced too, while the original partitions are assigned to "later" letters such as h,e,f.
I've also tried to manually apply the C letter(*) to the original drive, and after that doing the repair-your-system step from the installation USB. However, the OS or the BIOS seem to prefer the SATS drive, and if the SATA drive is not connected I get the first BSOD.
To summarize:
When booting with original and clone present, clone is selected.
When booting without clone, Windows reports a missing device and stops with a BSOD.
Presumably, migrating to a new drive is a common use case, so that's probably what happened. However, I want to boot from the original nvme and not from the sata clone. Do you have any experience with this issue? I could use some suggestions.

Performances of adapted SIX CHARACTERS script still satisfy
Posted by Gordon Jones | Mar 29, 2018 | Reviews, Utah County | 0
PROVO — In Utah, theater companies proliferate like rabbits, and An Other Theater Company has just joined us, with a new production of Luigi Pirandello's Six Characters in Search of an Author. The play pre-dates the absurdist theatre of the 1950s, characterized by Ionesco, Beckett, and Genet, but it is plenty absurd enough in its own right, raising interesting questions of reality through an intricate structure set in a rehearsal studio.
Show closes April 14, 2018.
For this production, Katrina Luthi has adapted the original script, stripping it down to the bare bones. She has kept the six characters, of course, but eliminated all but two of their actor counterparts. Since the conceit of the play is the relationship between the actors in rehearsal (of another Pirandello play) and the intruding characters, a dysfunctional family in search of completion, this decision is problematic, but not fatal.
The cast is in all respects exemplary. Among the characters, the Father's role is a tour de force, and Regan Cole Whimpey does it justice. His sparring partner from the actors side is the Director (who is the Stage Manager in the original script), played by Chantel Ficklin, and she more than holds her own against the verbal fusillades fired off by the Father. One also has to single out Amy Heimbigner as the Step-Daughter and M. Brooke Wilkins as The Mother, both of whom major and demanding parts.
The other actors are well up to the mark, though their parts are not as heavy. Eliminating all the actors except The Leading Man (played by Adam J. Gowers) and the Leading Lady (played by Caitlin Laurie Bell) and giving them all the lines and the business of the eliminated actors and reduces the strength of the roles. The same is true of the Stage Manager (originally the Manager's Secretary), played by Briana Lindsey Fisher, who inherits all the lines and business of five stagehands.
The set is very simple, with almost no props. Costumes for the Characters are period, as they should be, and no damage is done by real-life director Paige Porter's decision to set the show in the present. However, it is unlikely that any modern theater company would today be staging Pirandello's Mixing It Up, which means that it is quite a coincidence that the Characters picked this rehearsal to interrupt. The Actors were in a believable rehearsal, and when interrupted reacted much as actors would.
I do question the adapter's addition of expletives that Pirandello didn't use, and which add nothing to the play. No doubt Sicilians of Pirandello's generation used four-letter words, but if he didn't put them in his play, I don't see what is gained by introducing them or by what warrant one does so.
Finally, there is the absurdist impact of the play. In one of his many essays on stagecraft, A. A. Milne said that of course the audience knows, at the back of its mind, that the actor playing King Lear has a television set, but the suspension of disbelief allows the audience to accept an actor as Lear. That question of the relationship between actor and character is at the heart of Six Characters. The play is an exploration of reality, with both the Actors and the Characters claiming it. The Director charges that she and the Actors are real, because they are actual people, while the Characters are creations of the playwright. The Father counters that it is because they are created that they are "real," immutable. The Actors (and indeed the Director and Stage Manager), by contrast, can be one thing today and something else tomorrow.
The question is not settled, of course, but it is made most poignant when the Child drowns and the Boy shoots himself. Are they really dead, or is it pretense? The ambiguity was heightened in this production by the fact that both the Child and the Boy were visible to the audience at the time of their "deaths," if deaths they were. That was likely a flaw in this specific performance, but one never knows.
Anticlimactically, the Director complains that she has "lost a whole day with these people." I might be inclined to agree that the audience has wasted (if not a day) at least an hour or so, and yet…. If people spend the whole trip home discussing the question of reality and illusion in the theater, hasn't Pirandello done his job? Piradello and the modern cast and crew prompt their audience to think about the relationship between the idea of a character, the portrayal of that character by an actor, and the individual behind the actor–you know, the one with the television set.
An Other Theater's production of Six Characters in Search of an Author plays Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 PM through April 14, with a 2 PM matinee on April 14 inside the Provo Towne Centre Mall (1200 South Towne Centre Blvd., Provo) near Dillard's. Tickets are $13-15. For more information, visit www.anothertheatercompany.com.

Nintendo PlayStation brought back to life, can now play CD-ROM games
Boyd Chan Neowin @therealboydchan · May 6, 2017 01:46 EDT · Hot! with 15 comments
The Nintendo PlayStation prototype, also known as the SNES-CD or Super Disc, has found its way into the news several times in the last couple of years, with images and video of the aborted console coming to light back in 2015 with further details following later that year. Since then, Ben Heckendorn, well known for "The Ben Heck Show" in which he created the Xbox One S laptop, has attempted to restore the prototype to full working condition.
When Heck first laid hands on the unit last year it was in pretty bad shape with no video or sound output from the console and the compact disc drive inoperable due to a lack of power. However, the system had previously been able to play Super Nintendo cartridges before reaching this state. After an initial teardown and repair, in which a number of suspected faulty capacitors were replaced inside the unit along with a tidy up, the disc drive sprung back to life. While the drive was still unable to read discs, sound and video output had been restored allowing cartridge-based SNES games to be played once again.
Now, the prototype has been restored to its full operational glory after Heck's third session with the unit, after having completely solved the problems preventing the CD-ROM drive from properly reading media and outputting CD audio. While official software is not known to exist for the Nintendo PlayStation, homebrew software was instead used to validate the operation of the console. Despite initial tests with Super Boss Gaiden having failed, a subsequent attempt with Magic Floor worked albeit with some glitches due to unexpected interrupt requests (IRQs) coming from the disc system. Although not shown in the video, these issues were later addressed by the game's developer eliminating the graphical artifacts.
In terms of further development, Ben Heck said:
"So now, what it's really down to is the homebrew programmers figuring out the differences between their estimated emulator and what the real hardware can do."
While playing on a physical Nintendo PlayStation will remain a pipedream for most, the outcome of the restoration process has at least provided information for the homebrew community to more accurately emulate the unreleased console.

Campground closed after bubonic plague strikes rodents
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (AP) -- A campground at Natural Bridges National Monument has been closed because of bubonic plague detected among field mice and chipmunks.
Plague also has been found this spring in rodent populations at Mesa Verde National Park and Colorado National Monument.
National Park Service officials said there never has been a reported human case of bubonic plague originating from the parks or national monuments.
"We come down on the conservative side when it comes to closing campgrounds," said Joe Winkelmaier of the U.S. Public Health Service. "We just like to be sure when it comes to plague."
Several weeks ago, park rangers noticed a large number of dead field mice at Natural Bridges, about 40 miles west of Blanding. Chief Ranger Ralph Jones showed that tests indicated they died from the plague.
Rangers plan to insecticides to kill fleas in the campground area. Humans usually contract bubonic plague after being bitten by fleas that have bitten infected rodents. The campground could be reopened as soon as next week.
Plague occurs throughout the West, but is concentrated in the Four Corners area of Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. An average of 18 cases involving humans are reported each year in the United States, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. About one in seven victims die.

There is a vaccine, in case anyone is interested. Of course, I would not suggest a general vaccination of the population, which would probably kill more people from reactions than the plague, but my military father had to get it.
There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.

I knew for quite a while that squirrels in the west often carried bubonic plague, so the article is no surprise.
Reading a little into the article:
If one person in seven dies, then we have about 2½ persons dying out of the annual 18 stricken. This is a very small sample and for a larger population, they could prove very different. Bubonic plague, assuming it is the same disease as swept the eastern world in mediaeval times, is an eastern disease, against which our native peoples may still be poorly adapted. The Four Corners area is populated with Amerindians, so the figures might not be applicable to the general population. You're right, jbuck, a vaccine is inadvisable for the general population, though it might be a useful (though I'm not quite sold on vaccines) prophylactic for people from the Four Corners.
Ralph, I'll call later this week: I'm settling in right now.

We are not so likely to have a pandemic of bubonic plague, because it is caused by a bacterium, Yersinia pestis. It is sensitive to a number of antibiotics, so rapid treatment would prevent epidemic mortality rates.
Also, in the U.S., only selected populations who are exposed to rodent flea bites would be at risk. (Pneumonic spread is more rare, but could possibly be a factor in human-human spread.) Vaccine in at-risk people might be reasonable if plague were shown to be rampant in these rodents.
And, prophylactic antibiotic treatment in exposed or at-risk individuals would help prevent epidemic.
Now viral diseases like Smallpox, Influenza and the like--different story.

Actually I've read every book on plague and similar diseases I can get my hands on for decades. I also subscribe to PRO MED and get daily reports on these pathogens. I'm not worried about a new American pandemic - I do want to caution people that plague-bearing rodents tend to harbor in dwellings characterized by clutter, excessive piles of right-wing publications and unfiled and scattered Early Music CDs.
Yersinia pestis used to be called Pasteurella pestis but true credit eventually goes to the deserving usually when they're dead.

I've talked in my previous posts here about fashion, outfits and the beautiful places I've visited lately, but now it's time to talk about something else that's very important for us… skin care and beauty products, because obviously our complexion must be perfect every day.
Ever since I was a little kid I've had small problems with my complexion and I've probably tried a ton of products 'til today. But just a while ago I've discovered the skin care products from The Body Shop and they seem to be a match made in heaven for my skin.
As I've said in a previous post, I've bought these amazing beauty products from Bremen and I've decided to wait until I got back home to try them out. I'm taking about a Tea Tree Foaming Cleanser, a Tea Tree Night Lotion and a Tea Tree Oil, which, as their name states, are all products made from the tea tree, that has strong antibacterial properties.
Every morning I wash my face with the Tea Tree Foaming Cleanser and also in the evening after I remove my makeup and it just works wonders. The first thing you'll probably notice though is that the smell is not too great, but the skin will feel so soft and fresh you won't even believe it's true. This cleanser will help you remove makeup and impurities and will help you keep your skin blemish free if you use it every day.
Next, the Tea Tree Night Lotion is a soft cream which improves the appearance of damaged or spotted skin, balancing the sebum quantity and moisturizing your skin during sleep. This cream will leave your skin looking clear and clean and in the morning your face will look almost close to perfection.
Last but not least is this tiny Tea Tree Oil which is a must have among your beauty products, because this oil can be used directly on your skin or on pimples, with a soothing effect. This special tea tree oil also has antibacterial properties and it won't dry out your skin, which sounds pretty great, right?
I don't know if you like the products from The Body Shop just as much as I do, but maybe you can share your favorite skin care products here too. I'm curious to see which products work well for other girls.

Henri Fuseli's King Lear Admonishing Cordelia is on display for a limited time at the AGO as part of the exhibition Drama and Desire: Artists and the Theatre.
How do you bring a work of art to life? The largest painting in 'Drama and Desire' is the focus of an AGO experiment. Visitors can settle into a comfortable leather chair and catch the action. In a pivotal moment of the play, King Lear (recorded by Stratford actor James Blendick) banishes Cordelia (Sara Topham) from his kingdom forever. Synchronized lighting effects will accompany the speeches to give the impression that the two characters in the painting have come alive.
Edgar Degas, Dancer with Bouquets, ca. 1895-1900, oil on canvas, Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk, Virginia.
Edgar Degas' Dancer with Bouquets is on display for a limited time at the AGO as part of the exhibition Drama and Desire: Artists and the Theatre.
Edgar Degas' L'Orchestre de l'Opéra is on display for a limited time at the AGO as part of the exhibition Drama and Desire: Artists and the Theatre.
John Singer Sargent's Ellen Terry as Lady Macbeth is on display for a limited time at the AGO as part of the exhibition Drama and Desire: Artists and the Theatre.
Terry's London debut in 1888 as Lady Macbeth, in a spectacular dress decorated with beetles, sparked an unprecedented response from artists. Photos of this dress, and Terry wearing it, will be featured in the AGO's installation. Coincidentally, the Toronto Public Library owns personal archives of Ellen Terry which have been borrowed for the exhibition.
The dress was made from knitted wool and tinsel decorated with Jewel Beetles (Sternocera Aesquisignata). Mrs. Cosmyn-Carr, the designer, commented: "I wanted to make this particular dress look as much like soft chain mail armour as I could, and yet have something that would give the appearance of the scales of a serpent." The AGO has borrowed a selection of Jewel Beetles from the ROM to include in the show.
Designer Gerard Gauci, together with a team of set painters, has created a seductive entry into Drama and Desire: Artists and the Theatre. It's based on 18th trompe l'oeil painting techniques used in the theatre. The arches behind the lush draperies were inspired by the most famous painting in the exhibition' Jacques-Louis David's Oath of the Horatii.
If you look carefully, you can see the way these recreations of 18th century stage flats were constructed and how they would have appeared to performers. In-house painters have aged the new plywood to give visitors a real sense of what it was like to be on stage over 250 years ago.
The AGO is borrowing stage props from the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, the Canadian Opera Company, Canadian Theatre Museum and Opera Atelier to enliven the lobby as well as the exhibition itself. Alec Guinness's sword from the Stratford Shakespeare Festival's 1953 production of Richard III and the head of John the Baptist from a COC production of Salome are just a few of the surprises in store for visitors.
The AGO has negotiated the loan of archival books and a toy theatre from the University of Toronto's Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library. The Toronto Public Library is lending personal memorabilia of the most famous actress of the late 19th century, Ellen Terry, to complement the startling portrait of her as Lady Macbeth by American painter John Singer Sargent. We've also borrowed jewel beetles (dead ones that is) from the Royal Ontario Museum to replicate the ones sewn into her very controversial costume.
In the 18th century several different machines were used to create sounds effects in the theatre. This is an authentic recreation of a wind machine. Visitors can turn the crank and create a really believable simulation of howling winds.
Lighting and sound technicians are busy concocting a storm with waves crashing, thunder, and lightning bolts to bring an English landscape painting to life. 18th century style stage machines that make the sound of rain and wind have already been constructed and only await visitors to activate them. The sound of rain is made from putting beads in a drum and rotating it, while the sound of wind is created from canvas passing over wood.
Drama and Desire starts with a recreation of an 18th century stage set and concludes with one from the early 20th century. Englishman Edward Gordon Craig designed this set for Hamlet in 1911. At the time, its stark white forms made it the most revolutionary of the day. It still looks remarkably contemporary today. Hamlet's voice performing the famous "To be or not to be'" soliloquy will be heard as visitors approach the columns. A strong light from behind visitors will cast their shadows onto the set and make them feel they are part of the drama.
Drama & Desire: Artists and the Theatre opens this Saturday, June 19, with an exclusive Members' Preview on now!
Four celebrated actors from the Stratford Shakespeare Festival –- Geraint Wyn Davies, James Blendick, Sara Topham and Yanna McIntosh — have made their mark on Drama and Desire. To bring the paintings to life they've recorded speeches which will be featured in the show: Titania and Bottom (Midsummer's Night Dream), King Lear and Cordelia (King Lear), and Lady Macbeth (Macbeth)in her infamous mad scene.
On select weekends throughout the summer Canadian Stage will perform excerpts from High Park's version of Romeo and Juliet. Opera Atelier will feature ballet demonstrations in their production 'Degas and his Dancers'. Single Thread Theatre Company will highlight key moments in Shakespeare's dramas.
All performances will take place in the exhibition.
Summer student Alex Dault, from George Brown Theatre School, has been hired to perform short excerpts from famous plays featured in paintings in the exhibition. Visitors to Drama and Desire are certain to encounter Alex in full costume as he performs in various locations throughout the exhibition and across the AGO.
Drama & Desire: Artists and the Theatre opens on June 19, with an exclusive Members' Preview June 16 and 17.
Warning: Do not attempt this at home! Actual elapsed time: way longer than 1 minute!
Watch expert AGO installlers Craig, Ben, Ruth, and Jacques install Jacques-Louis David's The Oath of the Horatii, part of Drama & Desire: Artists and the Theatre, opening June 19 and running through September 26 at the AGO.
In less than two weeks the AGO's major summer show, Drama & Desire: Artists and the Theatre, opens to the public.
Gerard Gauci, guest designer for the exhibition, has created a theatrical environment that brings the artworks to life with recreations of eighteenth and early twentieth century stage sets, sound and light effects, theatrical props and on-site performances.
Gauci is not new to the AGO. He began his theatre career in 1986 designing and painting the sets for Opera Atelier's first fully staged production in the Gallery's Walker Court as part of the exhibition Vatican Splendours. Resident set designer for Toronto's "Opera Atelier" – a period performance opera company that is respected around the world for its lavish productions of operas from Monteverdi to Mozart – he uses his extensive knowledge of early stage techniques and modern stage craft.
Gauci is known in Toronto as an illustrator, painter and theatre designer. After graduating from the Ontario College of Art and Design, he created familiar poster images for local cultural institutions such as the Canadian Opera Company, The National Ballet of Canada and The Toronto International Film Festival.
As a fine artist he has for many years exhibited his paintings at the Leo Kamen Gallery in Toronto and the Galerie de Bellefeuille in Montréal.
Katharine Lochnan, the AGO's Deputy Director of Research and The R. Fraser Elliott Curator of Prints and Drawings chats with Rogers TV's Daytime Toronto host Myrocia Watamaniuk about the innovative presentation of Drama & Desire: Artists and the Theatre, the AGO' major summer exhibition, opening June 19 and on view through September 26.
An art experience unlike any other. Featuring artwork inspired by the theatre, presented — on stage — with live performers, full-scale sets and period lighting.

National Geographic Field Guide to the Trees of North America: The Essential Identification Guide for Novice and Expert (Paperback)
By Keith Rushforth, Charles Hollis
(reference works)
Ideal for backpacks and back pockets alike, this indispensable reference makes it easy to identify any tree commonly encountered between the Canadian Arctic and Mexico and from the Atlantic to the Pacific-more than 350 species in all. It's a natural for birders, hikers, and other outdoorsy types, but even confirmed urbanites will find plenty of information on city trees as well. Concise yet comprehensive, the book's clear, methodical approach enables anyone to recognize trees at a glance. Developed in consultation with botanists from The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and Cornell University's renowned Bailey Hortorium, it separates species into two fundamental types: conifers and broad-leaved, then organizes them into genera based on common characteristics, presenting each in its presumed order of evolution. Major differences between species groups are explained, with advice on which parts of a tree to examine when a closer look is required. More than 1,000 annotated illustrations depict the height, shape, foliage, buds and seed of each species, with trees bearing a strong resemblance shown side by side to highlight their distinctive differences. The accompanying text and system of symbols provide the important details on features and habitat essential to quick, reliable identifications, while graphical keys indicate genus and species, listing both scientific and common names. The guide also includes a map charting tree hardiness and distribution based on widely recognized climactic zones; general information about individual species traits and history, a glossary; and more.
Keith Rushforth is an arboriculturalist, an expert urban forester, and the author of several previous books on tree identification and gardening using trees and shrubs. He lives in England. Charles Hollis holds a doctorate in Forest Biology and was an Associate Professor of Forestry at the University of Florida. A member of the International Society of Arboriculture, he lives in Texas.

Supreme Court to hear sexual orientation, gender identity employment cases
US Supreme Court. Credit: M DOGAN/Shutterstock.
By Kevin Jones
Washington D.C., Apr 24, 2019 / 03:30 am (CNA).- In a decision that could have potentially far-reaching consequences, the U.S. Supreme Court has said it will hear cases involving claims that sexual orientation and gender identity should be included under current federal protections barring sex discrimination.
One case involves a male employee who identifies as a woman and was fired from a funeral home for deciding to wear women's clothes to work.
John Bursch, vice president of appellate advocacy at the religious freedom legal group Alliance Defending Freedom, argued that the court should uphold current federal law.
"Neither government agencies nor the courts have authority to rewrite federal law by replacing 'sex' with 'gender identity'—a change with widespread consequences for everyone," he said April 22.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday said it would hear the cases in the upcoming court term, with decisions and opinions possible in 2020.
Alliance Defending Freedom is backing the funeral home at the center of one case, R.G. & G.R. Harris Funeral Homes v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
The family-owned funeral home, owned by Tom Roost, has operated since 1910 and now has several chapels.
In 2007 it hired a male employee who agreed to follow the company's policies, including its sex-specific dress code. The ADF summary of the case said the dress code is "crafted to emphasize professionalism and keep the focus on those mourning the loss of a loved one."
In 2013, the employee told Roost that he intended to begin dressing as a woman at work.
"Tom determined that allowing this would not be in the best interests of his clients processing their grief," Alliance Defending Freedom said on its website summary of the case. "He offered the employee a severance package, which the employee refused."
The employee, who now goes by Aimee Stephens, wrote to colleagues that year: "What I must tell you is very difficult for me and is taking all the courage I can muster... I have felt imprisoned in a body that does not match my mind, and this has caused me great despair and loneliness."
Stephens filed suit on legal grounds including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a federal law which bars discrimination on categories including race, religion, national origin and sex.
In 2016, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan backed the funeral home. However, the EEOC appealed the case, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit then ruled that the dress code was discriminatory against a male employee who identifies as a woman.
"It is analytically impossible to fire an employee based on that employee's status as a transgender person without being motivated, at least in part, by the employee's sex," said the appellate court, according to the New York Times. "Discrimination 'because of sex' inherently includes discrimination against employees because of a change in their sex."
Bursch, who served as solicitor general of Michigan from 2011 to 2013, said the funeral home wanted "to serve families mourning the loss of a loved one." He charged "the EEOC has elevated its political goals above the interests of the grieving people that the funeral home serves."
"Businesses have the right to rely on what the law is—not what government agencies want it to be—when they create and enforce employment policies," Bursch added.
The Supreme Court accepted the funeral home case on the limited questions of whether Title VII bars discrimination against self-identified transgender people based on "their status as transgender" or "sex stereotyping" under a 1989 Supreme Court decision, Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins.
Alliance Defending Freedom's brief filed with the U.S. Supreme Court argued that the Sixth Circuit's interpretation "undermines the primary purpose for banning discrimination based on sex," namely to ensure equal opportunities for women and to eliminate workplace inequalities that have held women back.
If the lower court's interpretation holds, it said, employment reserved for women like playing basketball in the WNBA or working at a shelter for abused women "now must be opened to males who identify as women." Such a definition would also undermine Title IX efforts to advance women's participation in sports and educational opportunities, it said.
"Substituting 'gender identity' for 'sex' in nondiscrimination laws also threatens freedom of conscience," the ADF petition added, saying that such interpretations have forced doctors to participate in surgical efforts to alter sex "in violation of their deeply held beliefs" and best medical judgment.
"In sum, the Sixth Circuit ushered in a profound change in federal law accompanied by widespread legal and social ramifications," the legal group charged.
Two other cases, Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia and Altitude Express, Inc. vs. Zarda, will also go before the Supreme Court. They were consolidated because of similar claims regarding employer discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, National Public Radio reports.
The case Altitude Express, Inc. v. Zarda involves the late New York skydiving instructor Donald Zarda, who said he was fired because he was gay. He was fired after a female customer complained. She had voiced concerns about being tightly tied to Zarda during a tandem dive, and Zarda tried to reassure her by telling her he was "100% gay," the New York Times reports.
Zarda was killed in a skydiving accident in 2014 but his estate is continuing to pursue the case.
A divided 13-judge panel for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit ruled that the lawsuit could proceed.
Chief Judge Robert A. Katzmann, writing the court's majority opinion, said "sexual orientation discrimination is motivated, at least in part, by sex and is thus a subset of sex discrimination." Sexual orientation discrimination is "predicated on assumptions about how persons of a certain sex can or should be, which is an impermissible basis for adverse employment actions."
"(S)exual orientation discrimination—which is motivated by an employer's opposition to romantic association between particular sexes—is discrimination based on the employee's own sex," Katzmann's decision added.
The case Bostock v. Clayton County involves a Georgia child welfare services coordinator who said he was fired for being gay, the New York Times reports.
The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in July 2018 issued an unsigned opinion citing a 1979 5th circuit court decision ruling that firing for homosexuality is not barred by Title VII.
Most federal courts do not consider sexual orientation discrimination to be a form of sex discrimination, the New York Times reports.
EEOC publications on the commission website hold that "sex stereotypes" like "the belief that men should only date women or that women should only marry men" constitute illegal discrimination on the basis of sex. They say that the 1964 civil rights legislation against sex discrimination in the workplace includes discrimination "based on an applicant or employee's gender identity or sexual orientation."
However, those opinions lack Congressional approval. Proposed legislation known as the Equality Act would add "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" as protected categories under federal law.
Critics have warned that the legislation explicitly rejects religious freedom protections and would open the gates to anti-discrimination lawsuits against religious believers and institutions who disagree with the bill's broad view of what constitutes LGBT discrimination.

You can be turned into jewellery, blasted off in a firework or sent to sea in a Viking long boat!
Fancy being blasted into the sky after you die? Or turned into a piece of jewellery to be close to your loved one's heart? Perhaps you prefer to be sent out to sea ceremoniously on a burning Viking long boat?
Whatever your last request, there's a company in Devon that can make your final wishes come true.
Scattering Ashes, based at Seale-Hayne near Newton Abbot, has become a pioneer in the cremated ashes market, a leading authority in its field and is the number one company in online Google searches.
The firm can turn ashes into jewellery, put them in a keepsake urn or create a garden memorial. Some send a 'message in a bottle' for a small part of the ashes to send loved ones on one last adventure.
The topic of what to do with a loved one's relatives has become a high profile subject recently after mourners in Plymouth were told not to scatter ashes of dead relatives in public parks.
This followed reports that human remains had been discovered in the Jennycliff area.
A Plymouth City Council spokesman told the Plymouth Herald: "Whilst we understand that scattering the ashes of a loved one who has passed away can be a very comforting occasion for many families, we ask that people do not scatter ashes in public places."
Scattering Ashes has recently seen exports of its ceremonial Viking longboats – set alight and used to scatter ashes on water – increase to Australia and the USA.
Karen Martin, who owns the firm with husband Richard, said: "It is our biggest seller overseas and when we used to quote, with the addition of shipping fees, customers would be put off but now it is not a barrier for us at all."
Karen said the reaction 'is still a bit Marmite' but attitudes around death and bereavement are changing.
She said: "Traditionally, bereavement is treated as something very funereal, dark and heavy but we do not approach it that way.
"Generally, we are seeing people about a year down the line on their bereavement journey, the rawness has passed a little bit and rather than being forgotten, people feel ready to celebrate the life lived. Coming together again after a year can be a really healing experience."
Fancy being blown into the sky when you die?
Around 75% of UK people are cremated with 80% now opting to take the ashes home with them.
Karen said: "The UK is really leading the world in term of innovation and creating new ideas around the ceremony around cremation."
Scattering Ashes is now working with students at Plymouth College of Art to 3D print hollow silver jewellery designed to hold ashes.
And a growth area for the business is ceremony sets that bring together all the elements needed for people to hold their own ash scattering ceremonies.
Where can you scatter ashes? There is a lot to think about, so here are some pointers. Once you have considered the location you will need permission – see our section on law and permission.
Private Land – Private and secluded, you will have you own space and time. Make sure you have permission, make sure returning will be easy. For example a golf course is a popular choice, but revisiting the site may be awkward if none of your friends or relatives are members.
Beauty spots –There has been problems with excessive use of beauty spots and it is unlikely you will get any privacy. Arranging a ceremony on a busy day, at a much visited site could lead to problems with other visitors enjoying the site.
Rivers – 'It is acceptable' says the Environment Agency – but don't put anything in the river that will not degrade eg plastics.
cremation ashes can have serious impact the local environment. Plant species found in such places are very sensitive – human ashes contain a lot of phosphate that will upset the local habit.
You should consider somewhere off the beaten track, not at the very top perhaps around a tree, cairn or lake on the assent.
In a wood or tree planting site – you can choose to plant one anywhere you get permission, but you will be responsible for it. You could consider a tree in a memorial wood see our section on planting a memorial tree.
Common Land: It is best not assume that if land is 'common land' like a village green, that you are entitled scatter your ashes there. Common land usually means you have the right do certain things there eg to walk over it or even graze sheep.
Sports venues: Often a popular choice if the deceased had a particular sporting passion, football pitches, golf courses cricket pitches, rugby stadium and horse racing courses.
Permission for scattering funeral ashes at private sports facilities is dependant on the policy of the individual club. You will need to approach the grounds owner, and a word of warning – if the venue is private as with many golf clubs – revisiting the site may prove awkward.

The gray woolly monkey (Lagothrix lagothricha cana) or Geoffroy's woolly monkey is a subspecies of the common woolly monkey from South America. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil and Peru. L. l. cana gets its common name, gray woolly monkey, from its thick gray coat. Its hands, feet, face and the inside of the arms are dark in color. The gray woolly monkey has been considered endangered by IUCN since 2008. The subspecies is listed as endangered because it suffered a 50% decrease in population over the past 45 years due to deforestation and hunting.

Taxonomy
Initially thought to be a subspecies of the common woolly monkey (L. lagothricha), it was later reclassified as its own species. Two subspecies of Lagothrix cana were known: L. c. cana and L. c. tschudii. L. c. cana in both Brazil and Peru and L. c. tschudii in southeastern Peru and in the Madidi National Park in Bolivia. However, a 2014 study supported reclassifying it again within L. lagothrica, with both subspecies being different subspecies of L. lagothrica.

Habitat
The gray woolly monkey predominantly lives in cloud forest, a type of forest under cloud cover for most of the year.  They can be found anywhere from 1,000 to 2,500 metres above sea level. The population of gray woolly monkeys in Bolivia have been reported to be found as low as 700 metres above sea level. They spend the majority of their time high in the tree tops in search of food. They move through the trees using their large prehensile tails, which is a common trait seen in the family Atelidae. They are capable of hanging from their tails and often use them to bridge gaps between trees when travelling in them.

Diet
The gray woolly monkey predominantly eats fruit, but occasionally when fruit is scarce will eat young leaves and sometimes seeds.

Groups
Gray woolly monkeys live in groups of 11 to 25 members.  These groups are of both mixed ages and sexes. The group will move together and show little aggression towards other groups, and will often share the best feeding spots with other groups.

Size
In general, males are larger than females. A male's head-body length ranges from 46 to 65 cm in length. A female's head-body length ranges from 46 to 58 cm in length. The tail length of the gray woolly monkey is on average from 66 to 68 cm in length. The male gray woolly monkey weighs an average of 9.5 kg. The female gray woolly monkey weighs an average of 7.7 kg.

Threats
The main threat the subspecies faces is hunting. They are hunted for food and pets. The females are often targeted for hunting as they are shot and then their offspring are taken and sold as pets. One story from the western Amazon reported several hunters who killed over 200 woolly monkeys in less than two years, which led to their local extinction. Deforestation is another major threat. Mining for cassiterite, a mineral used to make tin, is also a threat for both losing habitat and hunting.

Conservation
The gray woolly monkey is currently protected in many national parks. They are also listed in Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade of Endagenered Species (CITES).
The following is a list of protected areas in Brazil where the gray woolly monkey occurs or may occur.
Amazonia National Park
Mapinguari National Park
Abufari Biological Reserve
Jaru Biological Reserve
Iquê Ecological Station
Rio Acre Ecological Station
Cuniã Ecological Station
Jatuarana National Forest
Macauá National Forest
São Francisco National Forest
Santa Rosa do Purus National Forest
Humaita National Forest
Jamari National Forest
Bom Futuro National Forest
Purus National Forest
Mapiá-Inauini National Forest
Pau Rosa National Forest
Tefe National Forest

The entire known population of these monkeys in Bolivia are found in the Apolobamba Natural Area of Integrated Management and the Madidi National Park and Natural Area of Integrated Management.

Quick general switch overs
DonkeyPunch posted a topic in Suggestions
Its come to my attention that having alot of generals at my disposal to use. That it takes alot of time and focus to switch and fumble through the long list of generals I have. If there was a preset list or quick switch to specific generals. Or maybe a preset 1,2,3 option so we can preset generals in each preset up list to make faster switch overs. And have the freedom to switch up our presets.. this past bfd I was switching all over the place. Fumbling through generals trying to find certain ones. When I should be focusing on battle. Not fumbling through generals.. what are your thoughts on this idea?

They were the pioneering organizations of civilian female pilots, employed to fly military aircraft under the direction of the United States Army Air Forces during World War II. The WFTD and WAFS were merged on August 5, 1943, to create the paramilitary WASP organization. The female pilots of the WASP ended up numbering 1,074, each freeing a male pilot for combat service and duties. They flew over 60 million miles in every type of military aircraft.

Rosie the Riveter is used as a symbol of feminism and men and women's economic power.[3]Similar images of women war workers appeared in other countries such as Britain and Australia. Images of women workers were widespread in the media as government posters, and commercial advertising was heavily used by the government to encourage women to volunteer for wartime service in factories.[4]Rosie the Riveter became the subject and title of a song and a Hollywood movie during WWII.

John Graham McVie (Ealing (Middlesex), 26 november 1945) is een Brits (bas)gitarist bekend als lid van Fleetwood Mac.

Biografie
McVie leert al heel vroeg trompet spelen, pikt als hij 14 jaar oud wordt een gitaar op en schakelt later over op een basgitaar. Zijn ouders geven hem een roze Fender Precision Bass, precies zo een als die van zijn held, Jet Harris van de Shadows.
Als John Mayall hem benadert om bassist te worden in diens band, is hij net begonnen als belastinginspecteur.
Toevallig was McVie net in zijn ambtenarenbaan begonnen, als hij zijn eerste optreden heeft met John Mayall's Bluesbreakers in de White Hart in Acton. Na negen maanden beide banen te hebben gecombineerd, kiest hij definitief voor de Bluesbreakers en wordt hij fulltime muzikant. John Mayall geeft hem bluesplaten en met deze platen en het advies het basgitaarspel zo simpel mogelijk te houden, maakt John zich het basspel eigen.

In december 1967 gaat hij deel uitmaken van Fleetwood Mac, de groep die eerder dat jaar door Peter Green en Mick Fleetwood (ook afkomstig uit de Bluesbreakers) is opgericht.

Als Peter Green Fleetwood Mac verlaat treedt Christine Perfect, inmiddels de vrouw van John en spelend in Chicken Shack, toe tot Fleetwood Mac. Daarna komen Stevie Nicks en Lindsey Buckingham ook bij Fleetwood Mac en breekt een tweede glansperiode aan voor de band.

Johns basspel wordt omschreven als warm, met een volle toon. Zijn basspel valt met name op in Albatross, Don't Stop, Rhiannon en The Chain.

Soloplaat
Tijdens een van de vele rustpauzes van Fleetwood Mac neemt John een soloalbum op:
John McVie's Gotta Band (1992).

Favorite tv shows: Wiseguy (1987-1990)
June 20, 2014 June 19, 2014 Eric P. I.
Vinnie Terranova was one cool cat. He was also conflicted, often empathizing with the criminals that he was trying take down, something that, at that time in my television watching, was new and refreshing. Wiseguy was also different in that a portion of a season (half or less, depending on the storyline) was devoted to a particular case of Terranova's. I think this was also one of the first shows that my wife-to-be and I got into together (we have very different tastes when it comes to entertainment), often planning our Thursday nights around watching the show. Of course, every good show has its great supporting characters, and Wiseguy was no exception. I remember enjoying Jonathan Banks's portrayal of Frank McPike (surly, but a teddy bear underneath, is what I remember), and especially Jim Byrne's character of Lifeguard. I would know Byrnes later as the Watcher Joe Dawson in Highlander: The Series, a role I enjoyed even more.
The best case or storyline of the entire run was the first one, the Sonny Steelgrave arc. I remember really starting to like the "bad guy" and was as conflicted as Vinnie was in his betrayal of the gangster. A later stand-alone episode that dealt with Vinnie's guilt over Steegrave's death was particularly good. The next arc brought us Kevin Spacey in an early role, and I believe his first television appearance. Comedy legend Jerry Lewis played a total ass in the Garment Trade arc, and then there was the fourth season.
Apparently creative differences led to Wahl's departure and the introduction of a new lead. This is usually not a good thing for a tv series, and indeed, Wiseguy was cancelled. But I did end up enjoying the new character (played by Steven Bauer) and the "search" for Vinnie. It also allowed Banks to be featured more prominently, if I recall correctly. Five years later there was a reunion movie that I watched, but wasn't impressed with. Still, those first three seasons (really, the first) was very entertaining crime drama.
