two old stories of renunciation
by Hermitage meditationPosted on July 24, 2018 May 15, 2019
There is a famous true story about a champion wrestler whose life was changed forever by one chance meeting. This champion was unbeaten in all his country and territory, and thus he was rich, renowned and worshipped everywhere he went.
It so happened that he came to be matched against another wrestler, who was the champion only of his small village, but who earned his bread and his living through his fighting; feeding himself, his small family and his ageing mother with the proceeds of his combat. When the young wrestler realised that he was to be matched against the champion wrestler of the whole country, he understood that all his livelihood was in peril, for if he was to lose even one fight, he would lose all the income he had from wrestling, barely enough as it was to sustain himself and his family.
The young wrestler resigned himself to his fate, but his mother was distraught and tried to dissuade him from participating. Still, the young man wanted to accept what life brought to him, and he was determined to continue with the fight, even if it should mean he would lose his title.
They had to travel to the capital city of the country for the fight, and they stayed there for three days before the event.
One day, during those three days, the mother of the young wrestler went out to look at the market in the big city, and while she was there she noticed a young man who reminded her somehow of her son. He was standing nearby a stall, and she felt a sudden severe loneliness and the need to confide in somebody. So she approached him and began to speak to him of her troubles, and how her son was soon to lose all his title and income because he was forced to fight against the champion of the country, and there was no chance whatsoever he could win.
"He was the bread-winner in the family, but now I don't know what he will do, maybe he will have to go far away to find work and I will lose him. I do not know what to do; I have tried to persuade him not to fight with this man, but he is determined to go and nothing I can say will change his mind!"
The man listened to her very intently, and great sorrow and compassion for her arose in his heart. He waited until she had finished, and then spoke:
"Madam, do not be disturbed, do not worry. Your son will win the fight against the champion of the land. I have a way of knowing these things, and I can tell you, there is no doubt whatsoever. So please, put away your tears and go and be happy."
The old woman was mystified. And yet there was such conviction in the voice of the young man that she could not possibly doubt him; and so she went on her way and looked forward eagerly to see what the next day would bring, when her son was due to fight.
The morning of the fight arrived and the whole city, or so it seemed, gathered to watch. The arena and the square surrounding it were thronged. The young wrestler from the small town had never fought in front of such a big crowd, and he was horribly nervous. His mother, however, having been so distraught before, was now strangely calm. He did not understand it, but he was too distracted by the enormity of the event to pay much attention to it.
The two wrestlers shook hands, and the fight began. At first to lookers-on it seemed as though the two were quite well-matched, but after some minutes it became clear that the younger wrestler from the small town was tiring and would soon fall under one of the powerful blows of the champion. The crowd began to make noise and prepare themselves to cheer once again for their favourite fighter, and the mother of the young wrestler began once again to fear for the sake of everything she held dear.
Then at one moment the champion inexplicably fell to the ground – felled by a little hit of almost no weight from the other, which should have glanced off him with no effect. The crowd made some noises of perplexity and people craned their necks, waiting for their champion to get up again. They waited, and waited – and he never got up. The young wrestler who fought against him was equally bemused at first, but then as he began to understand that he had won, felt only overwhelmed with relief and raised his arms in a gesture of triumph.
But the crowd was unhappy. They began to call "traitor, traitor" to their former champion, who now lay vanquished on the ground. "Get up, get up – traitor, traitor!"
But he didn't get up.
You can probably guess that the champion fighter of the land was the very same young man that the aged mother of his opponent met by chance at the city market, who out of compassion for her, decided to give up his title, his fame, and all of his former glory in this fight.
In the moment that he fell to the ground, he did indeed lose all – the people who had formerly worshipped him now despised him, believing that he had most probably accepted a bribe such that he would give up his fight so blatantly. Not only his title, but his wealth disappeared in one instant; and one who had been held in such great esteem by all now came to be a figure of disgust for his former fans.
This story sounds like a fairy tale, but it is actually a true story that happened long ago in the Middle East. The champion wrestler in question wrote afterwards about what happened to him in the moment he fell during his fight. He told how everything changed for him; he felt a great sense of freedom and as the world of fame and material pleasure he had built for himself broke down around him, a kind of new world opened up, or at least for him a new way of looking at the world.
It is reminiscent of a certain famous Sufi story, (not literally true) which concerns two men who have a bet with each other: one of them bets that he can always recognise the other no matter how the other disguises himself; his younger friend bets that he can not only disguise himself such that his friend will not recognise him, but that he will take money off his friend without the friend realising it. The older man happens to be both very wealthy and very generous, and every day he passes by a street where there are many beggars holding out their hands, and to each of them he gives some coins every day. The first day after the two men shake hands for their bet, the young man disguises himself as an old beggar woman and holds out his hands alongside the others. But as soon as his older friend reaches him, he stops, shakes his head and smiles, and moves on.
The next day the young man spends all night working on his disguise for the following attempt at cheating his friend, and he disguises himself perfectly as a little boy wearing crutches and sporting a great bruise on his face. And again he goes to the street with all the beggars and holds out his hands.
Yet again the same thing happens: his friend reaches him and shakes his head and smiles. It is as though he can see straight through all disguise that the other tries, no matter what it may be. In frustration, the young man decides on a last resort – he will make himself appear to be dead.
And so he stages his death, and all his friends and family are stricken with grief and arrange for his funeral to take place. The funeral passes in the street where the older man is handing out alms to the beggars, and he inquires as to who is in the coffin.
"O how is it that you have not heard? It is your young friend, you must weep for him!" they all reply. And the man nods, and solemnly reaches out his hand with a customary offering of money for the dead, and places it on the coffin.
At which point the young man leaps out of the coffin and cries "Ha-ha! I got you, I won the bet!"
But his friend just smiles, as though he had known all along: "Yes… but you won only through death. Unless you die you cannot win."
"Unless you die" is a Sufi expression used to refer to the belief that unless you "die to yourself" you will never receive anything, never gain any spiritual insight or knowledge, never receive blessings.
To "die to yourself" means actually to renounce and let go of all of those things to which we are all of us so deeply attached – our body, our beauty, our personal wealth; our idea of ourselves as a figure of importance – the figure of importance in our world.
Indeed we must die one day, just as we must one day lose everything that we try to hold onto when we are young. We get old and get sick and watch our family and friends passing away; beauty fades, health declines, material objects break, fall apart and get lost; everything is lost in the end. Even I myself, my body, my memories, all my idea of myself will pass into nothingness.
But we don't accept that. We hang onto all those things for dear life. I write this now but deep inside I don't fully accept it, I do not know it. It can't be for me. For others, perhaps, but not me.
The Sufi story, and the story of the wrestler, are both dealing with the idea of renunciation – the deepest form of renunciation; "death to oneself."
The young man in the Sufi story must give up his idea of being Somebody and accept to lie down, a passive, silent nobody, to appear as nothing but a dead corpse that will soon be disposed of. He does this in order to receive the money, symbol of material gain, for which he has now paradoxically no more use as a supposedly dead man.
He is like the champion wrestler who decides for the sake of his compassion for somebody else, to give up a lot more than just one fight. He is aware that in losing this fight he will lose everything out of which his identity is built. His life has been nothing but wrestling, fame, glory and wealth – he is simply the Champion Wrestler of the Land, worshipped by all – and if he is not that he is Nobody at all.
In deciding to lose the fight and give up all of this, it is as if he chooses to "die to himself," renouncing totally his ego and his self-image.
The act of doing so is powerful: the giver ultimately always benefits more from the gift compared to the receiver; and the greater the gift, the greater the renunciation; the greater the benefit.
The wrestler gains a lot in terms of freedom and lasting happiness, because his gift and his renunciation are very great. His young opponent gains only the comparatively meagre benefit of being allowed to keep (for the time being, for a little while longer) that which he already has.
Everybody is attached to their body, their life, their self-image and ego, their material goods, or at least just their life and the idea of being alive. Yet we all know that one day we will lose everything, and in being so attached to it all, we create for ourselves the pain of loss.
One old teacher used to say all the time "GIVE IT UP – OR IT WILL BE TAKEN BY FORCE." You will lose it, one way or the other. If you try to hang on to it, you will suffer. But if you give it, if you deeply accept that it will be lost and let go of your need of it – you might then get to see something beyond it, and you might be more free than before.

Renowned British prog' rockers, The Pineapple Thief, have recently completed a short run across Europe, supported by an Allen & Heath dLive system. The tour supported their 12th studio album, Dissolution, with the last show taking place at the O2 Empire in Shepherds Bush, London, earlier this month.
The band's tour management, Swex Booking and Productions, were so impressed with dLive's capabilities that they've recently confirmed the use of a dLive system for The Pineapple Thief's European tour in 2019, which kicks off next February in Firenze, Italy.

Oceans 5, an Indonesian dive resort on Gili Air, is now offering free IDC preparation courses all year long.
For divers who dream of becoming dive instructors, participating in a PADI instructor course is a necessary step in making dive instructing a career. Oceans 5 knows how important it is to be prepared for these courses and has expanded their IDC preparation classes from a week before IDCs start to a year-round offering. These classes put divers at an advantage for the IDC by getting them comfortable with dive knowledge and diving skills.
Oceans 5 is a PADI 5 star Career Development Dive Center, the highest rating within PADI for a dive center. This is reflected in the facilities and instructors of Oceans 5. There is a 25 meter training pool, specially made for scuba diving, an AC-ed classroom with a coffee corner, a bar, a restaurant and lots of relaxing areas.
The IDC preparation classes will not be conducted by one of the PADI Staff Instructors of Oceans 5. Instead, the IDC preparation will be conducted by one of the course directors or IDC staff members working for Oceans 5.
The advantage of Oceans 5 is that Oceans 5 has a big experienced IDC team:two PADI Course Directors, a Master Instructor, and four PADI IDC Staff instructors. This team promises that IDC candidates will get all of the knowledge they need in the language they want. Oceans 5 offers the IDC classes in the following languages: English, Dutch, French, Spanish, Swedish, Italian and Bahasa Indonesia.
IDC preparation will be an easy and relaxing process. IDC candidates start with a fun dive in the morning;the diving around the Gili Islands is amazing and the fun dive takes the stress away from the candidates. The fun dive will be followed in the afternoon by a skill circuit and knowledge lecture. The day ends with a drink at the bar.
Oceans 5 likes that the IDC candidates become a team, maybe friends for ever, and that all the candidates will follow their dream to become a PADI Dive Instructor.
Oceans 5 Dive Resort was founded in 2010 on Gili Air, an island near Lombok in Indonesia. Oceans 5offers all PADI courses from beginner to instructor level and is also a DDI and a Reef Check facility. Oceans 5 is a multi-award winning IDC dive resort, having won the 2011 PADI Accessibility Award, 2012 Outstanding contribution to diver acquisition and business development,2013 Outstanding contribution to diver education, and the 2013 Career Development Dive Resort, just to name a few.

In mathematical group theory, a 3-transposition group is a group generated by a conjugacy class of involutions, called the 3-transpositions, such that the product of any two involutions from the conjugacy class has order at most 3.

They were first studied by  who discovered the three Fischer groups as examples of 3-transposition groups.

History
 first studied 3-transposition groups in the special case when the product of any two distinct 3-transpositions has order 3. He showed that a finite group with this property is solvable, and has a (nilpotent) 3-group of index 2.  used these groups to construct examples of non-abelian CH-quasigroups and to describe the structure of commutative Moufang loops of exponent 3.

Fischer's theorem
Suppose that G is a group  that is generated by a conjugacy class D of 3-transpositions and such that the 2 and 3 cores O2(G) and O3(G) are both contained in the center Z(G) of G. Then  proved that up to isomorphism G/Z(G) is one of the following groups and D is the image of the given conjugacy class:
G/Z(G) is the trivial group.
G/Z(G) is a symmetric group Sn for n≥5, and D is the class of transpositions. (If n=6  there is a second class of 3-transpositions).
G/Z(G) is a symplectic group Sp2n(2) with n≥3 over the field of order 2, and D is the class of transvections. (When  n=2 there is a second class of transpositions.)
G/Z(G) is a projective special unitary group PSUn(2) with n≥5, and D is the class of transvections
G/Z(G) is an orthogonal group Oμ2n(2) with μ=±1 and n≥4, and D is the class of transvections
G/Z(G) is an index 2 subgroup POnμ,+(3) of the projective orthogonal group POnμ(3) (with μ=±1 and n≥5) generated by the class D of reflections of norm +1 vectors.
G/Z(G) is one of the three Fischer groups Fi22, Fi23, Fi24.
G/Z(G) is one of two groups of the form Ω8+(2).S3 and PΩ8+(3).S3, where Ω stands for the derived subgroup of the orthogonal group and S3 is the group of diagram automorphisms for the D4 Dynkin diagram.

The missing cases with n small above either do not satisfy the condition about 2 and 3 cores or have exceptional isomorphisms to other groups on the list.

Important examples

The group Sn has order n! and for n>1 has a subgroup An of index 2 that is simple if n>4.

The symmetric group Sn is a 3-transposition group for all n>1. The 3-transpositions are the elements that exchange two points, and leaving each of the remaining points fixed. These elements are the transpositions (in the usual sense) of Sn. (For n=6 there is a second class of 3-transpositions, namely the class of the elements of S6 which are products of 3 disjoint transpositions.)

The symplectic group Sp2n(2) has order

It is a 3-transposition group for all n≥1. It is simple if n>2, while for n=1 it is S3, and for n=2 it is S6 with a simple subgroup of index 2, namely A6. The 3-transpositions are of the form x↦x+(x,v)v for non-zero v.

The special unitary group SUn(2) has order

The projective special unitary group PSUn(2) is the quotient of the special unitary group SUn(2) by the subgroup M of all the scalar linear transformations in SUn(2). The subgroup M is the center of SUn(2). Also, M has order gcd(3,n).

The group PSUn(2) is simple if n>3, while for n=2 it is S3 and for n=3 it has the structure 32:Q8 (Q8 = quaternion group).

Both SUn(2) and PSUn(2) are 3-transposition groups for n=2 and for all n≥4. The 3-transpositions of SUn(2) for n=2 or n≥4 are of the form x↦x+(x,v)v for non-zero vectors v of zero norm. The 3-transpositions of PSUn(2) for n=2 or n≥4 are the images of the 3-transpositions of SUn(2) under the natural quotient map from SUn(2) to PSUn(2)=SUn(2)/M.

The orthogonal group O2n±(2) has order

(Over fields of characteristic 2, orthogonal group in odd dimensions are isomorphic to symplectic groups.) It has an index 2 subgroup (sometimes denoted by Ω2n±(2)), which is simple if n>2.

The group O2nμ(2) is a 3-transposition group for all n>2 and μ=±1. The 3-transpositions are of the form x↦x+(x,v)v for vectors v such that Q(v)=1, where Q is the underlying quadratic form for the orthogonal group.

The orthogonal groups On±(3) are the automorphism groups of quadratic forms Q over the field of 3 elements such that the discriminant of the bilinear form (a,b)=Q(a+b)−Q(a)−Q(b) is ±1. The group Onμ,σ(3), where μ and σ are signs, is the subgroup of Onμ(3) generated by reflections with respect to vectors v with Q(v)=+1 if σ is +, and is the subgroup of Onμ(3) generated by reflections with respect to vectors v with Q(v)=-1 if σ is −.

For μ=±1 and σ=±1, let POnμ,σ(3)=Onμ,σ(3)/Z, where Z is the group of all scalar linear transformations in Onμ,σ(3). If n>3, then Z is the center of Onμ,σ(3).

For μ=±1, let Ωnμ(3) be the derived subgroup of Onμ(3). Let PΩnμ(3)= Ωnμ(3)/X, where X is the group of all scalar linear transformations in Ωnμ(3). If n>2, then X is the center of Ωnμ(3).

If n=2m+1 is odd the two orthogonal groups On±(3) are isomorphic and have order

and  On+,+(3) ≅ On−,−(3) (center order 1 for n>3), and On−,+(3) ≅ On+,−(3) (center order 2 for n>3), because the two quadratic forms are scalar multiples of each other, up to linear equivalence.

If n=2m is even the two orthogonal groups On±(3) have orders

and On+,+(3) ≅ On+,−(3), and On−,+(3) ≅ On−,−(3), because the two classes of transpositions are exchanged by an element of the general orthogonal group that multiplies the quadratic form by a scalar. If n=2m, m>1 and m is even, then the centre of On+,+(3) ≅ On+,−(3) has order 2, and the centre of On−,+(3) ≅ On−,−(3) has order 1. If n=2m, m>2 and m is odd, then the centre of On+,+(3) ≅ On+,−(3) has order 1, and the centre of On−,+(3) ≅ On−,−(3) has order 2.

If n>3, and μ=±1 and σ=±1, the group Onμ,σ(3) is a 3-transposition group. The 3-transpositions of the group Onμ,σ(3) are of the form x↦x−(x,v)v/Q(v)=x+(x, v)/(v,v) for vectors v with Q(v)=σ, where Q is the underlying quadratic form of Onμ(3).

If n>4, and μ=±1 and σ=±1, then Onμ,σ(3) has index 2 in the orthogonal group Onμ(3). The group Onμ,σ(3) has a subgroup of index 2, namely Ωnμ(3), which is simple modulo their centers (which have orders 1 or 2). In other words, PΩnμ(3) is simple.

If n>4 is odd, and (μ,σ)=(+,+) or (−,−), then Onμ,+(3) and POnμ,+(3) are both isomorphic to SOnμ(3)=Ωnμ(3):2, where SOnμ(3) is the special orthogonal group of the underlying quadratic form Q. Also, Ωnμ(3) is isomorphic to PΩnμ(3), and is also non-abelian and simple.

If n>4 is odd, and (μ,σ)=(+,−) or (−,+), then Onμ,+(3) is isomorphic to Ωnμ(3)×2, and Onμ,+(3) is isomorphic to Ωnμ(3). Also, Ωnμ(3) is isomorphic to PΩnμ(3), and is also non-abelian and simple.

If n>5 is even, and μ=±1 and σ=±1, then Onμ,+(3) has the form Ωnμ(3):2, and POnμ,+(3) has the form PΩnμ(3):2. Also, PΩnμ(3) is non-abelian and simple.

Fi22 has order 217.39.52.7.11.13 = 64561751654400 and is simple.

Fi23 has order 218.313.52.7.11.13.17.23 = 4089470473293004800 and is simple.

Fi24 has order 222.316.52.73.11.13.17.23.29
and has a simple subgroup of index 2, namely Fi24'.

Isomorphisms and solvable cases

There are numerous degenerate (solvable) cases and isomorphisms between 3-transposition groups of small degree as follows :

Solvable groups

The following groups do not appear in the conclusion of Fisher's theorem as they are solvable (with order a power of 2 times a power of 3).

 has order 1.
 has order 2, and it is a 3-transposition group.
 is elementary abelian of order 4, and it is not a 3-transposition group.
 has order 6, and it is a 3-transposition group.
 is elementary abelian of order 8, and it is not a 3-transposition group.
 has order 24, and it is a 3-transposition group.
 has order 72, and it is not a 3-transposition group, where Q8 denotes the quaternion group.
 has order 72, and it is not a 3-transposition group.
 has order 216, and it is not a 3-transposition group, where 31+2 denotes the extraspecial group of order 27 and exponent 3, and Q8 denotes the quaternion group.
 has order 288, and it is not a 3-transposition group.
 has order 576, where * denotes the non-direct central product, and it is not a 3-transposition group.

Isomorphisms

There are several further isomorphisms involving groups in the conclusion of Fischer's theorem as follows. This list also identifies the Weyl groups of ADE Dynkin diagrams, which are all 3-transposition groups except W(D2)=22, with groups on Fischer's list (W stands for Weyl group).

 has order 120, and the group is a 3-transposition group.
 has order 720 (and 2 classes of 3-transpositions), and the group is a 3-transposition group.
 has order 40320, and the group is a 3-transposition group.
 has order 51840, and the group is a 3-transposition group.
 has order 25920, and the group is a 3-transposition group.
 has order 2903040, and the group is a 3-transposition group.
 has order 69672960, and the group is a 3-transposition group.
 for all s≥1, and the group is a 3-transposition group if s≥2.
 for all s≥1, and the group is a 3-transposition group for all s≥1.
 for all s≥0, and the group is a 3-transposition group for all s≥0.
 for all s≥0, and the group is a 3-transposition group if s≥1.
 for all m≥0, and the group is a 3-transposition group if m≥1.
 for all m≥0, and the group is a 3-transposition group if m=0 or m≥2.
 for all n≥1, and the group is a 3-transposition group for all n≥1.
 for all n≥2, and the group is a 3-transposition group if n≥3.

Proof

The idea of the proof is as follows. Suppose that D is the class of 3-transpositions in G, and d∈D, and let H be the subgroup generated by the set Dd of elements of D commuting with d. Then Dd is a set of 3-transpositions of H, so the 3-transposition groups can be classified by induction on the order by finding all possibilities for G given any 3-transposition group H. For simplicity assume that the derived group of G is perfect (this condition is satisfied by all but the two groups involving triality automorphisms.)

If O3(H) is not contained in Z(H) then G is the symmetric group S5
If O2(H) is not contained in Z(H) then L=H/O2(H) is a 3-transposition group, and L/Z(L) is either of type Sp(2n, 2) in which case G/Z(G) is of type Sp2n+2(2), or  of type PSUn(2) in which case G/Z(G) is of type PSUn+2(2)
If H/Z(H) is of type Sn then either G is of type Sn+2 or n = 6 and G is of type O6−(2)
If H/Z(H) is of type Sp2n(2) with 2n ≥ 6 then G is of type O2n+2μ(2)
H/Z(H) cannot be of type O2nμ(2) for n ≥ 4.
If H/Z(H) is of type POnμ, π(3) for n>4 then G is of type POn+1−μπ, π(3).
If H/Z(H) is of type PSUn(2) for n ≥ 5 then n = 6 and G is of type Fi22 (and H is an exceptional double cover of PSU6(2))
If H/Z(H) is of type Fi22 then G is of type Fi23 and H is a double cover of Fi22.
If H/Z(H) is of type Fi23 then G is of type Fi24 and H is the product of Fi23 and a group of order 2.
H/Z(H) cannot be of type Fi24.

3-transpositions and graph theory
It is fruitful to treat 3-transpositions as vertices of a graph. Join the pairs that do not commute, i. e. have a product of order 3. The graph is connected unless the group has a direct product decomposition. The graphs corresponding to the smallest symmetric groups are familiar graphs. The 3 transpositions of S3 form a triangle. The 6 transpositions of S4 form an octahedron. The 10 transpositions of S5 form the complement of the Petersen graph.

The symmetric group Sn can be generated by n–1 transpositions: (1 2), (2 3), ..., (n−1 n) and the graph of this generating set is a straight line. It embodies sufficient relations to define the group Sn.

A Dundee-born veteran wants to raise £1 million for motor neurone disease (MND) research by rowing solo across the Atlantic ocean in a death-defying challenge.
John Davidson, 56, plans to undertake the gruelling journey wearing a kilt and with just 180 days of training, compared to the two years normally required to prepare for the perilous journey.
The former SAS soldier and "proud Fintry boy" said although there have been deaths during the challenge in the past, he is not worried and is ready to face the sea despite never having rowed before.
Adventurer John Davidson in training along with son Lochlann.
John, who lives in Worcestershire, was inspired to sign up for the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge, beginning on December 12, after meeting with rugby legend Doddie Weir.
All money raised would be donated to the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation, which funds research into MND.
John said: "I met Doddie at a Scotland-England game when I was with my son Hamish.
"Hamish had been told by his school that he was too small to play rugby and Doddie took great offence to that.
"He took him under his arm and gave a truly inspirational speech about how we shouldn't let anything hold us back.
"Hamish is now 12 and playing rugby.
"Doddie was such a great inspiration and it was devastating to hear that he had been diagnosed with MND.
John will be rowing from the Canary Islands to Antigua in a small boat called the Mad Giraffe.
There have only been 85 people who completed the challenge, called "the toughest endurance race on the planet", which should take an average of 60 days at sea – rowing 18 hours a day and consuming 8,000 calories.

M1878 French Naval Kropatchek
(all photos this page kind courtesy of John Littrell)
GENERALLY: This rifle, designed by Alfred von Kropatchek, was adopted by the French Navy to replace the Chasspot needle-fire rifle, which was the immediate predecessor to the M1874 Gras, the single shot metallic cartridge rifle which had been adopted by the French Army. The M1878 was the first commercially successful Kropatchek. It incorporated the basic design of the Chasspot/Gras bolt and receiver system mated with a tubular magazine similar to a Winchester configuration, connected by a "spoon" elevator which pivoted at the rear to bring a fresh cartridge into alignment. This system of cartridge lifter was the key to the Kropatchek design. The tube of the tubular magazine is made of nickel plated steel, while the tubes of the later Army-adopted M1884 French Kropatchek and M1886 Portuguese Kropatchek are made of brass.
PHOTO: The rifle shown is a M1878 French Naval Kropatchek.
DISTINGUISHING CHARECTERISTICS: Somewhat similar to the French Chasspot and Gras, it is a repeater with a magazine cut-off hidden by the bolt handle when the bolt is closed (c.f. M1884 Kropatchek. It is very similar to the Portugese Kropatchek, but readily distinguished by being in 11mm and by the receiver being Styer marked (see photo below).

John Dredge's Blog of Blogs: am on Resonance 104.4FM this Saturday, you see.
Tune in for an hour of music and madness with me on Resonance 104.4FM this Saturday at 2.30pm, and then two other Saturdays after that. Then after that particular Saturday there won't be any more. So just to be clear, there's a show on this Saturday which is tomorrow unless you are reading this tomorrow in which case it's today. Then there's another show the Saturday after that which again is very much a similar scenario to what I just said there. Finally the next week, also on the Saturday, is another show which follows on from the previous two shows that were also on, and then after that there isn't another one as by then something else will be on.

Behind the scenes: Return to Port El Kantaoui
Photo: Steve Parsons/PA Wire/Press Association Images
For DG #19, which will be out very soon, we sent journalist Vidhi Doshi to visit Port El Kantaoui, the Tunisian beach resort where 38 tourists lost their lives in a terror attack on 26th June. Two months after the massacre, Doshi found an eerily quiet place where the locals were in a state of profound shock: we asked her about the experience of reporting from a ghost town
What were you expecting to see in Port El Kantaoui?
I wasn't sure what to expect. I knew the layout, the key locations I needed to go to and I knew I wanted to speak to eyewitnesses. But I didn't know what access I would be able to get. When I arrived at the [Imperial Marhaba] hotel I was searched by plainclothes policemen almost the second I got out of the taxi. It took around half an hour of talking to the guards before they agreed to let me go to the beach. The hotel building itself was closed to journalists. Apart from a couple of small bouquets in a corner and a police patrol on site, there was little to mark this out as the site of a massacre. From the outside the hotel looks like it's business as usual – although minus a few hundred tourists. The gardens are still perfectly manicured. The beach looks like a normal beach but it became the focus of my article because there was just this horrible atmosphere there.
How did you select the interviewees in the piece?
There was a limited number of people I was allowed to talk to. Hotel staff and management were not talking. Security and policemen would talk but only a little. But for me this story was about one particular beach in El Kantaoui and how the terror attack had affected every person there. I walked around the beach looking for eyewitnesses – and people whose businesses had been affected, like the watersports companies and shops on the street where Seifeddine Rezgui, the gunman, was killed.
Did you experience hostility from locals?
Yes. Everyone I interviewed wanted to see my press card, which is unusual. Many people were willing to talk but for example the boys at the watersports company on the beach, who had all witnessed the attack, were dismissive when I first approached them. People were polite, but there was certainly a sense of weariness.
Is there an emotional impact when you cover a story like this as a journalist?
It's not an easy experience and hearing people talk about what they saw takes a toll on you. One of my interviewees showed me a video he'd taken on the beach after the attack. The video showed British tourists who had been shot. When he showed me the video I felt physically sick. I wanted to leave the room and throw up but I had to keep watching. The images were so graphic and they have stuck in my mind ever since. There are some things I saw that day that will haunt me.
Vidhi Doshi's feature on her visit to Port El Kantaoui will appear in issue #19 of Delayed Gratifcation, alongside a story on the Kuwait mosque attack of the same day. The issue will be hitting subscribers' doormats shortly.

The worst scum on earth!! do not rent from them!
Some of the slimiest people on the planet.
Brand new gorgeous renovated apartment... lipstick on a pig! There's been water dripping from my ceiling, through LIGHT fixtures, for over 11months. They've scheduled to come by to "fix" it 6 times, 3 no-shows where I missed work, and 3 times pure incompetence. They're doing illegal work in the building with no permits and it's so loud you can't hear yourself think. The property manager could not have passed the 3rd grade. I'm all for giving someone a chance however, if you're going to attempt to tell me that you have the legal right to be making noise during the renovations per the permits from DOB, make sure you OBTAINED the permits you just referred to. If you wanted heat or hot water in the morning for your shower or in the winter when the temperature is in the 30's-40's, don't rent these apartments.... They will appear to be beautiful and new and high-end... most of the units should STILL be rent stabilized! He's being investigated by the NY Attorney General currently for allegedly (I have done the research and he's guilty) illegally destabilizing rent stabilized apartments. I wouldn't want my worst enemy to live in a building owned by Croman and managed by 9300... don't you have enough battles to fight just by being a New Yorker?
I live in a 9300 building, and have been told that my fire escape is NOT TO BE USED, but rather to jump across a chasm (5 floor penalty for failure) to the next building in case of a fire. In the case that building is on fire too, await further instructions.
A Word of Warning to anyone considering renting from Croman Real Estate or 9300 Realty, once you sign the lease you are doomed. You'll suffer with entire winters of no heat and no hot water, no supers living on the premises, bedbugs, roaches, mice, never getting reapirs done, appliances break down and are not replaced, leases not renewed, especially if you're a market rate tenant who makes a complaint to a city agency about not having heat or hot water, the Cromans tell tenants they are not renewing your lease and give no reason why. Their have buildings outwardly look attractive by some standards but they are so cheaply renovated. Sheetrock walls are made to look like wainscoting and the home decorating stores look. Once you live inside there are bedbug infestations that the Cromans do not inform the other tenants in the building about, roaches and vermin, overloaded apartments with too many tenants living in them because they can't afford the inflated rents. Then there's the loud, wild parties that accompanies this. Following that is the constant turnover of tenants because no one stays because they are treated like trash by the landlords, Steve & Harriet Croman and their Harriet Croman clone property managers, parading around with clipboards under ther arms and all talking the same lingo by hitting tenants up with the usual low buy-out offers harassment. (They make hefty commissions on any brokered buy-outs) There's the daily problems of chronic water leaks, the lack of basic required, services, toxic dust entering your home from renovations to other apartments and the cronic construction noise. If you ever need a repair or super no one all your calls go to voicemail, no one ever calls you back. Repairs are never done...why..because they want you out...let the tenants leave so that we can keep their security deposit and get a vacancy increase. It goes on and on. This is truly a criminal enterprise and these people are truly evil.
all of you with security deposit or hard ship to get your money back call 1800 ask dhcr nys housing they can help you or advise you what to do free.
steven croman is a thief, from square footage of her apartment, to agent's commission, security deposits, rents, etc....he stills money from everyone, he owns 150 buildings and I wonder why such pig person is blessed with so much wealth....he has no mercy even the most defend less people, if he can he rob all.
DO NOT RENT HERE!!! THEY OWE ME MY SECURITY DEPOSIT AND REFUSE TO PAY IT BACK!!! (they say they just haven't had time to mail it out, but they've been saying that for NINE MONTHS) THEY WILL NOT RETURN YOUR MONEY, CANNOT BE TRUSTED!!! AVOID!!!
Very small, expensive apartment. IMPOSSIBLE to talk to a live person about concerns over the fact that our lease ended in August and we have yet to see our $4000.00 security deposit...read others comments seems to be a trend with this company...BEWARE..
i would have rated croman realy/9300realty a zero if the drop-down menu had that option. the building had bugs, rats and the occasional crackhead. i moved out september 1 and have yet to receive my security deposit back (today is Dec 20th). i have literally called their office hundreds of times and they do not have the decency to reply.
I have lived here for a while in a three bedroom. It is ok.. super small and I know there are better prices out there.. unfort i foundo ut too late.. avoid if you can.
Croman is a no-fee company, they prefer for you to come get the keys from them. The prices are fair but most of their units are quite small. Decent renovations. Great locations, but again high prices for small units.

Obama Issues Veiled Threat After President Trump DESTROYS Another FAILED Legacy
Image Source: Right- bodybuilding, Left- Youtube screen shot. Edited and Collaborated by US4Trump
Posted By: Lindsey Michelle May 8, 2018
On Tuesday, President Trump DESTROYED another Obama 'legacy' flushing it down the toilet.
The President is keeping yet another promise to the American people.
He announced plans to pull out of the Iran nuclear deal, explaining that it has failed to halt the country's nuclear ambitions.
As the President spoke in the Diplomatic Room of the White House, he said: "I am announcing today the United States will withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal." Then, the President stated, "This was a horrible deal that should never, ever have been made."
"The Iran deal is defective at its core."
"Today's action sends a critical message. The United States no longer makes empty threats. When I make promises, I keep them." President Trump declared. (Read more below)
However, right after President Trump announced pulling out of the Iran deal, former President Obama made a statement sounding like veiled threat.
President Trump made "a serious mistake" in withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal, former President Barack Obama said in an extended defense of his signature foreign policy agreement.
"[T]he decision to put the JCPOA at risk without any Iranian violation of the deal is a serious mistake," Obama said, using the acronym for the deal, known formally as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. "Without the JCPOA, the United States could eventually be left with a losing choice between a nuclear-armed Iran or another war in the Middle East. (Read more below)
Obama's full statement below:
There are few issues more important to the security of the United States than the potential spread of nuclear weapons, or the potential for even more destructive war in the Middle East. That's why the United States negotiated the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in the first place.
The reality is clear. The JCPOA is working – that is a view shared by our European allies, independent experts, and the current U.S. Secretary of Defense. The JCPOA is in America's interest – it has significantly rolled back Iran's nuclear program. And the JCPOA is a model for what diplomacy can accomplish – its inspections and verification regime is precisely what the United States should be working to put in place with North Korea. Indeed, at a time when we are all rooting for diplomacy with North Korea to succeed, walking away from the JCPOA risks losing a deal that accomplishes – with Iran – the very outcome that we are pursuing with the North Koreans.
That is why today's announcement is so misguided. Walking away from the JCPOA turns our back on America's closest allies, and an agreement that our country's leading diplomats, scientists, and intelligence professionals negotiated. In a democracy, there will always be changes in policies and priorities from one Administration to the next. But the consistent flouting of agreements that our country is a party to risks eroding America's credibility, and puts us at odds with the world's major powers.
Debates in our country should be informed by facts, especially debates that have proven to be divisive. So it's important to review several facts about the JCPOA.
First, the JCPOA was not just an agreement between my Administration and the Iranian government. After years of building an international coalition that could impose crippling sanctions on Iran, we reached the JCPOA together with the United Kingdom, France, Germany, the European Union, Russia, China, and Iran. It is a multilateral arms control deal, unanimously endorsed by a United Nations Security Council Resolution.
Second, the JCPOA has worked in rolling back Iran's nuclear program. For decades, Iran had steadily advanced its nuclear program, approaching the point where they could rapidly produce enough fissile material to build a bomb. The JCPOA put a lid on that breakout capacity. Since the JCPOA was implemented, Iran has destroyed the core of a reactor that could have produced weapons-grade plutonium; removed two-thirds of its centrifuges (over 13,000) and placed them under international monitoring; and eliminated 97 percent of its stockpile of enriched uranium – the raw materials necessary for a bomb. So by any measure, the JCPOA has imposed strict limitations on Iran's nuclear program and achieved real results. (READ MORE BELOW)
Third, the JCPOA does not rely on trust – it is rooted in the most far-reaching inspections and verification regime ever negotiated in an arms control deal. Iran's nuclear facilities are strictly monitored. International monitors also have access to Iran's entire nuclear supply chain, so that we can catch them if they cheat. Without the JCPOA, this monitoring and inspections regime would go away.
Fourth, Iran is complying with the JCPOA. That was not simply the view of my Administration. The United States intelligence community has continued to find that Iran is meeting its responsibilities under the deal, and has reported as much to Congress. So have our closest allies, and the international agency responsible for verifying Iranian compliance – the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Fifth, the JCPOA does not expire. The prohibition on Iran ever obtaining a nuclear weapon is permanent. Some of the most important and intrusive inspections codified by the JCPOA are permanent. Even as some of the provisions in the JCPOA do become less strict with time, this won't happen until ten, fifteen, twenty, or twenty-five years into the deal, so there is little reason to put those restrictions at risk today.
Finally, the JCPOA was never intended to solve all of our problems with Iran. We were clear-eyed that Iran engages in destabilizing behavior – including support for terrorism, and threats toward Israel and its neighbors. But that's precisely why it was so important that we prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Every aspect of Iranian behavior that is troubling is far more dangerous if their nuclear program is unconstrained. Our ability to confront Iran's destabilizing behavior – and to sustain a unity of purpose with our allies – is strengthened with the JCPOA, and weakened without it.
Because of these facts, I believe that the decision to put the JCPOA at risk without any Iranian violation of the deal is a serious mistake. Without the JCPOA, the United States could eventually be left with a losing choice between a nuclear-armed Iran or another war in the Middle East. We all know the dangers of Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon. It could embolden an already dangerous regime; threaten our friends with destruction; pose unacceptable dangers to America's own security; and trigger an arms race in the world's most dangerous region. If the constraints on Iran's nuclear program under the JCPOA are lost, we could be hastening the day when we are faced with the choice between living with that threat, or going to war to prevent it.
In a dangerous world, America must be able to rely in part on strong, principled diplomacy to secure our country. We have been safer in the years since we achieved the JCPOA, thanks in part to the work of our diplomats, many members of Congress, and our allies. Going forward, I hope that Americans continue to speak out in support of the kind of strong, principled, fact-based, and unifying leadership that can best secure our country and uphold our responsibilities around the globe.

There are few better feelings in the world than experiencing that newfound chemistry with someone you care about. In the early stages of a relationship, even the smallest touch or quickest eye contact is enough to send shockwaves through your body. This is what we like to call chemistry between two people, or "the spark"—a twinkle in the eye, a skipped heartbeat, or flushed cheeks that indicate you are, indeed catching feels.
But is there a scientific explanation for what we call chemistry between two people? According to Kelly Campbell, PhD, an associate professor of psychology and human development at California State University, San Bernardino, "People with open, agreeable, and conscientious personalities are more likely to experience chemistry." According to her extensive research, the main qualities of chemistry include reciprocal candor, mutual interest, personableness, similarity, and physical attraction. "The more these characteristics are present, the more likely individuals are to perceive of chemistry in the interaction."
In romantic relationships, specifically, the most salient characteristics for the chemistry between two people are believed to be linked to mutual interest, similarity, and intimacy. "Chemistry happens when various factors converge at the right time," explains Campbell. "For example, chemistry is more possible when people are both open to the experience. It won't be as 'magnetic' or easy to foster a connection if they are in a rush, angry, or already involved in a great romantic relationship—people who are happily committed tend not to pay attention to potential alternative partners (a premise known as derogation of alternatives)."
How likely are you to experience chemistry in your own interactions? Read through Campbell's explanation of each characteristic to find out.
"Mutual interest involves sharing humor and finding one another interesting," explains Campbell. "Humor goes a long way toward building connections. This factor also leads to excitement about future interactions. When you are not in the person's presence, you are thinking about and looking forward to seeing them again."
"Reciprocal candor pertains to having easy communication, a sense of trust, and feeling understood in the interaction or the relationship," says Campbell. "When this is present, people feel as though they can say anything to one another and not be judged."
"Personableness, or the expression of warmth, kindness, consideration, and understanding, is shown to elicit interpersonal attraction for both genders across relationship types," explains Campbell in a study published in The Social Science Journal. "It refers to the demeanor of the two individuals," says the expert. "If they are both genuine, down to earth, caring, and kind, chemistry is facilitated.
"Intimacy in romantic chemistry merges the reciprocal candor and personableness factors above," says Campbell. "When intimacy is present, people feel like they can talk to one another about anything, that they can trust their partner, and that their partner is a sincere and down to earth person."
Not to be confused with physical similarity, this trait refers to "matching each other on core attributes such as values, morals, beliefs, and life goals," explains Campbell. "These similarities are relatively stable and reflect who the person really is. People who are mismatched on values likely won't last long in a relationship together because these attributes are unlikely to change and dictate how people live their lives."
Last, but certainy not least, physical attraction refers to perceiving one another as physically attractive. "This characteristic is interestingly found to impact even friendship chemistry possibly because subconsciously, people are assessing the extent to which this person will help attract prospective mates," explains Campbell. "Friends facilitate romantic pairing (many people meet their spouse through friends), and so having attractive friends can also enhance the attractiveness of prospective romantic partners."
Next up: This is what true romantic chemistry looks like, says a dating expert.

The Paris Effect: Journalism, Diplomacy, and Information Controls
Diplomatic Academy of Vienna
The 2016 Milton Wolf Seminar uses the November 2015 Paris Attacks as an entry point into discussions about journalism, diplomacy, and information controls. Many have noted asymmetries in global media responses to the events in Paris and ISIS attacks in Beirut (November 12, 2015), Baghdad (November 13, 2015) and Boko Haram in Nigeria (November 17 & 18, 2015). Discussions about these asymmetries will take center stage at Milton Wolf 2016. Panelists will explore the role of actors across the geopolitical spectrum, from Western powers, to non state terrorist networks, to Iran, to Russia, to China. They will also discuss how recent events have opened up new geopolitical possibilities. For example, Iran, long a Western antagonist, has surfaced as a necessary ally against ISIS and Russia is collaborating with France in intelligence gathering related to terrorist activities. Discussions will consider the implications of a range of new and old media, individuals, and institutions in undermining and or reinforcing these trends.

As the Director of Grassroots Advocacy at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Shahid Buttar has been at the forefront of privacy activism in the post-Snowden world. Buttar will discuss the recent controversy over encryption regarding Apple's dispute with the FBI, the impending debate in Congress over mass surveillance, the effects of state and police surveillance on activists and communities of color. He will also introduce students and researchers to the most important online privacy tools. A workshop will follow the lecture.
All About the Narrative: From Media Policy to Celebrity Activism
Annenberg School for Communication, Room 300
Covering a range of issues from media policy to celebrity activism, visiting scholar Hilde Van den Bulck will evaluate the role of actors and stakeholders in pushing particular narratives to influence outcomes. Using the case study of public service broadcasting in Belgium, Hilde will focus on how buzzwords dominate policy debates and how stakeholders pushing media policy agendas can be understood from an Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) perspective.
Internet & Rights: digital constitutions and "national" Internet governance
This informal lunch discussion explores the notion of "digital constitutionalism", a term which attempts to encompass the many proposals and documents put forward by a variety of actors to give form and legality to the ever-changing concept of "digital rights". It will discuss the profoundly political and symbolic dimensions of the legislative efforts put in place by democratic states in this domain, focusing in particular on the Brazilian Marco Civil da Internet and the Italian Declaration of Internet Rights.

Greening agricultural policy
Green CAP project
This website has limited functionality with javascript off. Please make sure javascript is enabled in your browser.
Page Last modified 08 Jan 2019
Two of the main challenges underlying the current CAP reform are 'greening' the agriculture sector (reducing environmental impacts) and viable food production with a view to ensure food security. To address these challenges, the European Environment Agency invited a panel of external experts to reflect on these challenges and to explore long-term intervention strategies in the context of the EEA's 'Green CAP project'.
The panel discussions were organised as a participatory workshop, facilitated by Prospex and with content support and reporting contributions by the Stockholm Environment Institute. The expert panel outcomes are summarised in a highlights report.
Apart from the expert panel outcomes, the project has built on analyses by EEA and JRC (in particular the FATE project , SOER 2010 and HNV farmland analyses, a discussion paper for the EEA Management Board, and a background study by the Stockholm Environment Institute.
Invited experts: Ariel Brunner (Birdlife international, Belgium), Henriette Christensen (Pesticide Action Network Europe, Denmark), Claire Collyer (Country Land and Business Association. United Kingdom), Sanne van den Dungen (Environmental Protection and Encouragement Agency, Germany), Koen Overmars (PBL, The Netherlands), Nat Page (Fundatia Adept, Romania), Laszlo Podmanizcky (Svent Istvan University, Hungary), Andrea Povellato (National Institute of Agricultural Economics, Italy), Jaroslav Pražan (Research Institute of Agricultural Economics, Czech Republic), Tanja Runge (COPA-COGECA, Germany), Peter Smeets (WUR, The Netherlands), Vyara Stefanova (ENFCP, Bulgaria), Jean‑Michel Terres (JRC, Italy), Mark Thomasin-Foster (European Landowners Organisation, United Kingdom)
Facilitators: Marc Gramberger and Martin Watson (Prospex, Belgium)
Content support and reporting: Marcus Carson, Neil Powell and Kim Andersson (SEI, Sweden), Tommaso Chiamparino (Prospex, Belgium)

Feeding the hungry city Ingredients for the meals we eat at home or in restaurants come from near and afar. In an increasingly urbanised and globalised world, the food produced in the countryside needs to be transported to the city. Much focus has been put on reducing 'food miles', which can be a relevant but sometimes limited concept. A smarter and cleaner transport system would solve only part of the issue. A wider systemic analysis of the entire food system is in order.
Distribution and targeting of the CAP budget from a biodiversity perspective The EU has highlighted the importance of using the Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) to prevent the abandonment of high nature value farmland and its intensification as a key action to halt biodiversity decline. The present report sets out to assess whether the current distribution of CAP funds is likely to favour the maintenance of farmland with high nature value (HNV). And it explores the extent to which CAP funds are likely to support the long-term economic and ecological sustainability of these HNV farming systems.

Green Cap - Expert Panel Highlights
Green Cap - first phase report
Greening Europe's agriculture Human society relies for its health and well-being on four basic categories of natural resources: food, water, energy and other materials including fibre, minerals and processed chemicals. At the global level, food, water and energy systems are becoming increasingly vulnerable. Global demand for energy and water is projected to rise by 40 % over the next 20 years if no major policy changes are implemented.
Reforming the CAP Agriculture could mean food, employment, idyllic landscapes, rural culture and preserving species and habitats. It could also mean soil and water pollution, deforestation, land conversion and monoculture landscapes. Weighing the pressures and the benefits from agriculture, how could Europe shape its future agricultural policy?
Food security and environmental impacts The CAP reform needs to tackle two key challenges simultaneously: 'greening' the agriculture sector (reducing agriculture's environmental impacts) and ensuring food security.

Other | Union Workers Reject American Crystal's 2nd Offer
Union Workers Reject American Crystal's 2nd Offer
Ninety-two percent of union members voted on a second contract offer from American Crystal Sugar Company, and 90 percent rejected it.
In an ongoing labor dispute with Moorhead-based American Crystal Sugar Company, locked-out union workers on Tuesday overwhelmingly rejected a second contract offer.
According to the union that represents the 1,300 locked-out workers-Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers & Grain Millers Local 167G-92 percent of union members voted on the offer via a secret ballot and 90 percent rejected it.
"Today our members sent a loud and clear message to American Crystal executives," union President John Riskey said in a statement. "We want to work, but we will not accept a contract that puts our jobs and the entire community at risk."
Riskey said the result should be a signal for American Crystal leaders to return to the bargaining table as soon as possible.
"If company executives are serious about getting us back to work, they should return to the negotiating table immediately with real compromises, not just repackaged versions of a contract that has now been rejected twice," Riskey said in a statement. "It's time for a contract that benefits workers, the company, growers, and the community."
The workers have been locked out since August 1. According to Minnesota Public Radio (MPR), American Crystal offered the newest contract after two days of negotiation last week-which failed to end the standstill. No new negotiations have been scheduled, according to MPR.
In September, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) sided with American Crystal by dismissing four union claims alleging that the company failed to negotiate in good faith prior to the lockout and violated the National Labor Relations Act.
The NLRB found that the union "repeatedly refused" to consider American Crystal's proposals and "made virtually no counterproposals" to try to address the company's objectives. Additionally, American Crystal's last two proposals before the lockout contained "significant movement" and included "significant concessions" on "non-economic items," the board said.
Following the NLRB's dismissal of the union claims, American Crystal Vice President for Administration Brian Ingulsrud said that the board's decision "clearly affirms that we have acted with transparency, clarity, and willingness to compromise."
MPR said Tuesday that Ingulsrud indicated that the company won't talk about the costs of the lockout. He also told the news organization that the two sides likely won't talk again until the union proposes its own contract.


A good performance largely depends on its musicians, venue and material. I Solisti dell'Opera, the classical concert at the historic All Saints Church in Rome, excels at all three. In it, the best soloist singers and musicians from Filarmonica d'Opera Italiana present a journey through the history of Italian and European opera. From Baroque all the way to the heyday of bel canto, this event is bound to please.
The ensemble I Solisti dell'Opera, or the Opera Soloists, has been around long enough to garner many accolades and become a prime example of Roman musical excellence. As the talented singers and instrumentalists make their way through the all-star programme, sound and vision combine favourably to transport you into each work's unique world.
Speaking of the programme, it reads like a who's who of classical operatic music. The Italian masters are well-represented. The soprano and tenor join forces for Giuseppe Verdi's iconic 'Va, pensiero' (Nabucco). They take turns presenting other classics like Gioachino Rossini's 'Una voce poco fa' (Il Barbiere di Siviglia), Vincenzo Bellini's 'Casta diva' (Norma), Giacomo Puccini's 'E lucevan le stelle' (Tosca) or Gaetano Donizetti's 'Una furtiva lagrima' (L'Elisir d'Amore). Less-often played Baroque works such as Antonio Vivaldi's 'Gelido in ogni vena' (Il Farnace) or George Frideric Handel's 'Tornami a vagheggiar' (Alcina) also make a memorable appearance.
No classical concert would be complete without a chance for the orchestra to show its talents. The gifted musicians offer up their renditions of the 'Entr'acte' from the unforgettable Carmen by Georges Bizet or the 'Intermezzo' from Pietro Mascagni's Cavalleria rusticana. In the impressive setting of Rome's All Saints Church, these instrumentals sound all the more powerful and evocative.
I Solisti dell'Opera is a splendid all-star performance that spans musical epochs and includes some of the best examples of classical composition. Thanks to the rich selection of material and the talent and professionalism of the Roman ensemble, the night is definitely one for the books!

Q: Communication between Clojure services I need to put a Clojure service to communicate with another through HTTP calls, in java we can do something like that using RestTemplate like this:
             ResponseEntity<Product[]> responseEntity = new RestTemplate().getForEntity(
                    "http://localhost:8001/products/store/all", Product[].class);

What would be the similar way in Clojure to do the same job with this code?

A: You can use clj-http and any JSON parser like cheshire:
(ns example
  (:require [clj-http.client :as client]
            [cheshire.core :as :json]))

(def products
   (-> (client/get "http://localhost:8001/products/store/all")
       (json/parse-string true)))

Q: Knockoutjs: working with existing data here is the code:
HTML:
<textarea data-bind="value: MyText">
    Hello world
    line 2
    line 3
</textarea>

JS:
var viewModel =
{
    MyText : ko.observable()
};
ko.applyBindings(viewModel);

http://jsfiddle.net/HSfuq/
Textarea becomes empty, because of ko.observable(), but how can I save existing value in textarea?
I have big multiline document in textarea (from database), and I want to edit it with features of Knockoutjs.
Thanks.

A: With jQuery, it would be something like this:
var viewModel = {
    MyText : ko.observable($('textarea').val())
};
ko.applyBindings(viewModel);

A: Don't extract the text from HTML, just make your view model like this:
var viewModel = {

    MyText : ko.observable("I'm the data from the server")

};

ko.applyBindings(viewModel);

http://jsfiddle.net/HSfuq/1/
I would prefer the first method.
Or you can extract the text from the html like this, if you must do so:
HTML:
<textarea data-bind="value: MyText" id='textareaID'>
    Hello world
    line 2
    line 3
</textarea>

JS:
//using jQuery, but you could do this otherwise as well
var texareaText = $('#textareaID').text();
var viewModel = {

    MyText : ko.observable( texareaText )

};

ko.applyBindings(viewModel);

http://jsfiddle.net/HSfuq/2/
Or use JSON serialization (any way you like, return JSON(yourDataIncludingMultiLineText); from MVC controller action, or a serializer library like Newtonsoft JSON.net http://nuget.org/List/Packages/Newtonsoft.Json) to serialize the multi line text.

Harvard hosts Boston's young journalists:
Teens visit for lessons in journalism and the working world
By Beth Potier Gazette Staff

Eleven young journalists from Youth Opportunity Boston, a city agency that provides employment and training for Boston youth ages 14-21, visited the Harvard News Office Aug. 4 for a daylong lesson on Harvard, journalism, and the world of work. Hosted by Assistant Director for Publications John Lenger, the young adults put out a newspaper on youth employment called YO Journal.
"It's been exciting to watch the YO Journal staff develop into working journalists," said Lenger, who also teaches journalism at Harvard Extension School. "As I've taught them about journalism, I've learned from them as well. It's important for an editor like me to know what young people are thinking."

At Harvard, the YO staff spent a working lunch learning about teen employment at the University. "I think that employers should encourage young people to get as much experience as they can," said Amy Meyer, associate director of community outreach and diversity in the Office of Human Resources at Harvard.
Joining Meyer, program manager for Harvard's Summer Teen Employment Program (STEP), were four Boston and Cambridge teens working in Harvard offices through STEP.
The YO Boston journalists, who would turn their experience at Harvard into an article about STEP, peppered Meyer and her students with questions. What kind of work do you do at Harvard? What have you learned? What do you have to wear? Are you treated with respect?
In addition, the Boston youth took a tour of the University and learned principles of editing from Lenger. Alan Stone, vice president for Government, Community and Public Affairs at Harvard, welcomed them to the University and offered some advice of his own at lunch.
"It's important to be motivated," he said. "Most employers want to see that you're going to go the extra mile."
The junior journalists, while feeling their way around reporting and producing a newspaper, were outspoken on the importance of gaining real-world work experience through programs such as STEP or Youth Opportunity.
"I feel there should be more programs for the youth," said Jahsan Sheers, 20, of Dorchester. "What are we going to do without these programs? What are you going to do with your life?"
With Lenger's guidance as editorial director of the project and donated printing and other services from Charles River Publishing (which prints the Harvard University Gazette), the Boston youth are seeing the fruits of their summer labor. This week, 40,000 copies of the 16-page YO Journal came off the presses; it will be distributed throughout the city to help teens negotiate the world of work.
