About Chris Morley
Angela Wright made novel use of the Freedom of Information Act. Under the name "ilikemeninuniform", she emailed Hampshire police and asked to be told of "eligible bachelors within Hampshire constabulary between the ages of 35 and 49 and details of their email addresses, salary details and pension values". But Angela's search for a man in uniform who might become her lifelong companion has left her tantalized. The police replied that there were 266 eligible bachelors, of whom 201 were in uniform, but that they couldn't divulge names or email addresses, as such information is exempt under the Act. If she's to find Mr Right, Ms Wright has work still to do.
There is a bitter sweet aspect to much of life. We catch a vision of how life might be and almost feel we have it within our grasp. Then something happens which makes it clear it may not be quite so easy. This can be an incentive to pursuing the goal with even more energy. Sometimes, though, it can lead to people giving up and even some anger that their hopes were unjustifiably raised.
The anger that mounted against Jesus during the last days of his life may have had something of the same cause. He had offered new hope for his people, a new kingdom ruled by God, not by the Romans or the religious elite, and people had flocked to welcome him into Jerusalem. But it gradually became clear it was not that easy. There was work still to be done. People felt their own attitudes and life-style were being challenged. There was disappointment that the vision needed fleshing out in ways that were demanding.
The hope Jesus offered inspires us too. If we want to see every detail spelt out or if we expect it to be achievable without disrupting the routine of our lives, we will be frustrated. But the vision Jesus shows us is intriguing and enticing enough to offer plenty of incentive to work for it.
Read: Jesus said: 'For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it.' (Mark 8.35)
Rejoice: in the pictures Jesus offers of a world where God is in charge.
Reflect: Is there anything I do which might be standing in the way of a better world?
Remember: God continues to work for the world he wants even when we fail him.
Resolve: to let my hopes for the future, mine and the world's, be shaped by Jesus.
A Japanese firm has come up with a machine that it says can give you the dreams you want. The device, called a 'dream workshop', gives stressed out people a chance to escape – at least in their dreams. Before nodding off, the would-be dreamer is supposed to look at a photo of what he or she wants to dream about and then record the story-line on the £77 machine. Using the voice recording as well as lights, music and aromas, says the company, the machine stimulates sleepers during periods of rapid eye movement (REM) and helps them choose their own dreams. "It has worked for quite a number of people," said a spokesperson.
Pleasant escapism this may be, but a 'dream workshop' won't of itself change anything in the real world. There are, however, other sorts of dream and other types of stimulation which can. The hopes we have for our own futures, and for that of others and the world, can give us renewed energy to help bring them to reality. We can choose to stimulate those hopes and dreams by what we read, whom we admire and by other deliberately chosen influences.
The Bible is an important source of such inspiration. From the Old Testament prophets who foresaw a just society, through to Jesus who saw a world where God was accepted as King, and to the book of Revelation with its vision of an end to mourning and crying and pain, it is a book packed with material to stimulate our dreams and encourage action.
So stimulated by what the Biblical writers and others have written and inspired by their vision, it's possible to choose our dreams without the £77 outlay. Not a good idea, if it's escapism we want, because this kind of biblically-inspired dream makes us want to get up and take action!
Read: We have the word of the prophets …. and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. (2 Peter 1.19)
Rejoice: in people and writing which inspires my hope.
Reflect: what changes do I dream of in my life and work?
Remember: that by God's grace, if I can't see what to do to make my dreams a reality, just having the longings can make a difference.
Resolve: to do something today, however insignificant, towards creating the new world of which the Bible speaks.
Two Australian tree experts had to be flown to Hong Kong when a banyan tree believed to be imbued with special powers took ill. Visitors and pilgrims throw wishing tokens written on cards tied to oranges at the tree. It's said that your wish will come true if your orange hooks onto the tree's huge branches. Recently at a Lunar New Year, one of the branches fell on two of the many visitors who visit the tree annually and it's feared the banyan's days are numbered.
Eighty years of carrying the longings and expectations of thousands of pilgrims is perhaps proving too much for the ancient tree. For human beings too, such pressure can be burdensome. Children carrying their parents' hopes, leaders carrying their followers', lovers carrying their beloved's, workers carrying their boss's, all may sometimes find the strain onerous. Many of us are, in some relationships, carrying other people's hopes, while in others, it is we whose longings are focussed on another.
Jesus too, especially as his followers grew in number, carried their hopes for freedom. Yet he knew he could not deliver what they longed for in the way they hoped. His chosen path of suffering and death led many to disillusionment. When people expect a lot of us, it's not helpful to anyone if we let their hopes alone determine our behaviour. Like Jesus, we need to go the way that seems right for us.
Our own expectations of others may similarly be putting inappropriate pressure on them. The symbolism of the banyan tree and what happened to Jesus reminds us of the penalty that's sometimes paid by those asked to carry too heavy a burden.
Read: Carry each other's burdens (Gal 6.2)
Rejoice: in those who fulfil our expectations.
Reflect: Is there anyone I expect too much of?
Remember: when I'm bearing others' burdens, Christ shares the load.
Resolve: to accept Christ's offer to let my hope be in him.
It seems a pity that the number of pea-shooting enthusiasts for a world championship fits onto just one village green, but there it is. Accuracy, not distance, is the aim of this competition in Witcham, Cambridgeshire, with contestants shooting a pea through a 12-inch tube, 12 feet towards a 12-inch target. Preparation is intense. Growing the most aerodynamic pea and discovering the most effective launch pad (even laser-guided shooters are not considered cheating) can be a year round commitment. Few contestants will be satisfied unless they hit the bull's eye.
Striving for perfection provides motivation in a wide range of human activity. It can be taken to extremes. Many people are unhappy with themselves unless they always hit the bull's eye. Such perfectionism usually leads them to a permanent sense of dissatisfaction. But there is value all the same in having a challenging target.
What Jesus suggested we aim for, in a passage about loving even our enemies, was that we become who God made us to be. He uses a word usually translated 'perfect' which means more accurately 'the state of having fulfilled a purpose'. Like God, who is completely loving by nature, each of us is called to be the fully and completely loving person we were made to be. But because each of us is unique, the way we achieve this goal and the way being fully loving is reflected in each of us will be different from everyone else. The target for human beings suggested in these words of Jesus is that each of us becomes the person we were made to become.
We can give up on perfection as a goal if it means always being successful or permanently in the right. The bull's eye that's really worth trying to hit is becoming the person God created us to be.
Read: Be perfect therefore as your heavenly Father is perfect (Matthew 5.48)
Rejoice: in the delight of discovering my uniqueness.
Reflect: am I too keen to get everything exactly right?
Remember: no one was ever denied God's support because they failed.
Resolve: to learn something more about myself today.
Seventy nine year old Hank Edwards used a guidebook from 1914 to plan his holiday – and got lost for two days in a forest that wasn't there 90 years ago. He felt rather foolish.
Hank had been in love with the eastern Bayreuth area of Germany from childhood. As a boy and since, he'd explored the area in his imagination, using the guidebook his father had bought. Now he discovered the hard way that two world wars and a massive reforestation programme meant most of the Bayreuth in the book no longer existed.
Reality often fails to match our dreams. Our hopes for the future can become inflexible, more geared to what we wanted once than to the best possibilities in the current situation. Our goals and expectations need to change so they become more realistic. But sometimes we remain stuck in the past, unable to see what's often clear to others – that the map we're using to find our way through life is out of date.
God can sometimes make this clear to us. In an Old Testament tale, an angel blocks the path Balaam was travelling on. His donkey understood this was to show God didn't want him to go that way long before he did. For us, such intervention might take the form of advice from friends, an unexpected hitch in our lives, a surprising but attractive alternative which catches our imagination. Or it can come in moments of quiet reflection when, consciously in God's presence, we take stock of where we are and where we want to get to in our lives. When we do that, we may need to be open to the possibility of redefining the future we hope to achieve in the light of our ever-changing experience of ourselves and our lives.
Read: The angel of the Lord stood in the road to oppose him (Numbers 22.22)
Rejoice: in the delights flexibility and spontaneity can bring.
Reflect: what new dreams might I develop where old ones have become unrealistic?
Remember: as I think about my future, to leave space for God's intervention.
Resolve: always to be open to diversions from what I've planned.
Humpty Dumpty counted to ten
Then Humpty Dumpty got up again.
Not the ending we know but a new one added on a CD of nursery rhymes. The publicity justified the new happy ending: "It's sometimes difficult for parents to explain death and injury to a young child".
A happy ending is what we hope for in every situation where there's pain and sadness. Yet often our longing for a satisfactory outcome to suffering is not fulfilled. It's not just parents and children who find it difficult to explain why such things happen. Our sense of helplessness is expressed more clearly in the original ending:
Couldn't put Humpty together again.
Such recognition of our ignorance and powerlessness is itself painful. Christians try to keep believing that, though we are ignorant, God still loves us. Belief in God's underlying purposefulness does not diminish the pain involved in experiencing or watching suffering. But it does create the possibility that there might be value in accepting and living with the mystery of it.
Jesus struggled with this paradox in the Garden of Gethsemane. He knew God loved him, yet he also sensed that he was going to have to endure terrible pain. His prayers there on the night before his crucifixion expressed his fear and his trust but also perhaps reflect the possibility that even he didn't fully understand how God's love and human suffering could go together or that resurrection would emerge from his torment.
Ignorance is uncomfortable. But it is all we have. The way to deal with it is not to count to ten and hope all will be well. It is to acknowledge our inability to put together our fragmented and broken world and trust that in that very honesty with ourselves and with God lies a way forward.
Read: In all things God works for the good of those who love him (Romans 8.28)
Rejoice: that though we may feel defeated by the world's pain, God isn't.
Reflect: What have I learnt (or what am I learning) from times of suffering?
Remember: Jesus too wanted to avoid suffering.
Resolve: to accept my human frailty.
When Moscow had its heaviest snowfall since record-keeping began in the 19th century, the storm snarled the city's horrendous traffic, closed airports and forced pedestrians to wade through high drifts. Local public services were unable to cope. The Mayor's response was to propose fining the weather service every time it got a forecast wrong. Officials at the weather service, which is funded by the city, reacted coolly.
None of us likes uncertainty. Never quite knowing what the future will bring can make us anxious and, like the Mayor, we may want someone to blame when things don't turn out as expected. In our family life, at work, in the organisations we belong to, we like those on whom we rely to get it right. If they don't, they may well receive the brunt of our disappointment, even when what happened was not their fault.
Jesus tended to upset people's certainties. Comments like 'blessed are the poor', 'the last shall be first', 'it's hard for the rich to enter God's kingdom' challenged normal assumptions about life. Many of those who had previously felt secure in their status, in this life and the next, found him disturbing. He bore the brunt of their fury when they contributed to his death.
We all live without knowing what the future holds. Learning to deal with that anxiety is an important part of our growth as individuals. Sometimes even what we thought we were sure of is challenged by new truths or new situations. Let's today seek the courage to be open to such new insights and react without rancour when life doesn't go quite as we expected.
Read: Do not worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow has enough troubles of its own. (Matthew 6.34)
Rejoice: in those whose ability to trust God for their future encourages me to trust him more.
Reflect: Where do I look for security when I'm feeling anxious?
Remember: our fears can sometimes blind us to signs of hope.
Resolve: to leave in God's hands my worries about the future.

Survey: Majority of religious leaders pro FGM in Kermansheh, Iran
11.8.2016. By Stop FGM Middle East. A recent survey among Sunni religous scholars in the Iranian province of Kermansheh shows that a majority of them (67%) believe that "female circumcision" is religiously obligatory or at least recommended for girls and women. In this province in the West of Iran, female genital mutilation (FGM) is practiced by Sunni Kurds who adhere to the Shafi'i law school. Many of them believe that Islam commands them to have their girls cut. (more…)
Campaign in Iraqi Kurdistan: Paying a visit to a Mullah who promoted FGM
20.5.2015. By Stop FGM Middle East. The shock was great when the Iraqi Kurdish Xelk Media Network reported about a Kurdish Mullah promoting female genital mutilation (FGM) on May 8th. Not only did Mullah Ali Kalak stress that Islam allows "female circumcision" but he demanded it to be done for the wellbeing of girls, claiming non-cut girls would enter illicit sexual affairs.

Deutsche Welle Persia: Cutting of female genitals
19.2.2015. The Persian program of the German Deutsche Welle recently aired a program about FGM in Iran. In the following we document parts of it (we did not translate some of the general explanations about FGM worldwide):
"The results of a survey show that 83% of women on the island Qeschm and 50% of women in Iranian Kurdistan are mutilated. The researchers are convinced that such practices are also prevalent in other parts of the country. (more…)
Video-Clip: At the mosque
By Stop FGM Middle East. 4.2.2015. Religious beliefs play an important role in the battle against Female genital mutilation (FGM). Clerics are part of the large-scale campaign against FGM in Iraqi Kurdistan. In this video-clip an Imam explains why FGM is not in accordance with Islam. It is one of four vidoe-clips shown regularly on Kurdish television as part of the campaign by WADI and Unicef. (more…)
Popular Saudi Sheikh Alarefe warns of the way FGM is done
6.8.2014. By Stop FGM Middle East.
Responding to a question by a caller on his Youtube program, the Saudi Sheikh Mohammad Al Arefe warned of female genital mutilation saying: "Today it's chaos, women who do it are not experts and they ruin the girls' vagina and impact her adult life… if we need to do it, it should be done by a doctor or else it shouldn't be done at all (…)". He also distanced himself from the strict Shafa'i interpretation which sees FGM as a must and he questioned the strength of the Hadith which calls FGM a good deed: "because it has been proven that it is not a good deed, and it was a habit done by Arabs pre Islam."

FGM in Iraq: The hoax of a hoax?
2014/07/29 2:31 PM / 1 Comment on FGM in Iraq: The hoax of a hoax?
29.7.1014. By Stop FGM Middle East
Last week a statement by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) was circulating in Arab Social media calling female genital mutilation sunnah (the right path in Islam) and called on all Muslim women to have it done. A number of Western media outlets and international organizations reported this fatwa (religious ruling) thereby warning of its consequences for women and girls in the areas occupied by IS in Iraq and Syria.
A few days later this fatwa was unveiled as a hoax by several journalists with Spiegel online taking the lead. But was it really unveiled as a hoax? Most reasons brought forward are based on flawed information and misconceptions about the nature of fatwas. (more…)
Kurdish villages declare themselves FGM-free
13.6.2014. Hivos. For ten years, Hivos partner WADI has been campaigning against female genital mutilation (FGM) in Iraqi Kurdistan. Director Thomas von der Osten-Sacken finds that communities are slowly but surely turning away from this degrading tradition.
Not an 'African problem'
The Iraqi-German human rights organisation WADI first came upon the harrowing consequences of FGM in the Kurdish Autonomous Region through its mobile teams. "At that time, it was thought that FGM barely existed in Iraq. FGM was seen as an 'African problem'," says von der Osten-Sacken. "Right now in publications people talk of about 140 to 160 million women who have been genitally mutilated worldwide. But Indonesia – the country with the largest Muslim population in the world – is not included, and it is estimated that about 80 percent of women are circumcised there. If you add Iraq, Iran, Oman, Yemen and Malaysia, you come to the conclusion that the number of victims of FGM is probably twice as high."
Ahmadiyya: Not in Islam's Name
28.3.2014. The Ahmadiyya community is joining the struggle against female genital mutilation (FGM). Already on March 7th the Ahmadiyya Times published a fierce condemnation of FGM by Qasim Rashid calling FGM and act of terrorism. Now Farooq Aftab, a spokesperson for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth writes on Your Middle East: "Not in Islam's name, not in my name."
Farooq Aftab's article:
"80% of the Muslim world do not practice FGM"
Earlier this week thousands of British Muslim men that make up the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association, the UK's largest and oldest Muslim youth association, issued a single statement denouncing female genital mutilation (FGM). The statement, published on the website 'Muslims for Humanity', read:

Lapidomedia 12th March 2014. By Vishal Arora
CUTTING OFF a piece of a young girl's flesh might at last be getting the recognition it deserves in the West as a human rights violation, but in the Maldives it is making a return as a 'religious obligation'.
A fatwa has been issued by an influential Islamic scholar here, citing specific hadith or sayings of the Prophet Mohammed.
FGM is one of the five things that are part of fitrah, or nature, says the fatwa by Dr. Mohamed Iyaz Abdul Latheef, Vice President of the Fiqh Academy of the Maldives, posted on www.mvislamqa.com, a website which seeks to 'convey the true message of Islam.' Full artcile on Lapidomedia

"Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom" is stunning must-see
December 16, 2013	3:10 PM CST By Eric A. Gordon And Dale Greenfield
Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, directed by Justin Chadwick and starring an inspiring Idris Elba in the title role, is visually stunning, unfolding professionally within a familiar bio-pic template. In an era of insanely budgeted big studio monstrosities, Mandela is a must for serious filmgoers, a useful complement to all the commentary surrounding the recent death of Nelson Mandela.
Based on Mandela's autobiography, the film traces his origins in the Xhosa tribe – Rolihlahla, his name in his native language, means "troublemaker" – and spans seven decades, ending with his becoming president of South Africa in 1994.
William Nicholson's screenplay examines both sides of the Great Man vs. the Movement of History debate. The heroic figure of Nelson Mandela in the film is an idealized version of an intensely dedicated but thoroughly human individual. The film does not skimp on details of Mandela's early struggles to contain his urges and emotions. These incidents provide counterpoint to Mandela's later development as a master strategist in imperfect but ultimate control of his feelings and thoughts in the all-out fight against apartheid.
Madiba, the clan name by which Mandela was popularly known in South Africa, is shown as a young lawyer, married to his first wife. But he is nearly overwhelmed by the stress of representing black clients seeking impossible justice in a system utterly stacked in favor of the white minority. His frequenting of bars and "entertaining" female acquaintances put a fatal strain on his marriage, and separate him from his two young children. Cleverly using Afrikaner prejudice to his advantage in court, Mandela has a case dismissed for a client working as a domestic who is accused of stealing from her white housewife employer – a harbinger of the tactics he successfully utilizes later in the anti-apartheid struggle to turn the opposition's fear and hatred on their head to advance the movement. We witness the undisguised contempt with which Mandela is treated, as a black man in an otherwise white courthouse.
Ever more radicalized by life experiences, Mandela is approached several times by activist members of the African National Congress to join the cause, and in 1942 he becomes a member. The ANC's young leadership pushes the organization to adopt boycotts, strikes, and civil disobedience as vehicles for social change. The brotherly bond Mandela shares with these comrades is a focus of the film, revisited often at significant junctures over the decades.
At the scene of the 1957 Johannesburg bus boycott, Mandela's commitment to the struggle is pointedly portrayed: His choice between domestic family life and direct involvement in the events of the day is made (possibly for dramatic effect) at that very moment. Incidentally, that boycott occurred roughly two years after Rosa Parks' refusal to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Ala., city bus. The struggles against U.S. Jim Crow and South African apartheid reveal numerous instances of mutual inspiration. History in that anti-colonial era was definitely on the move, and Nelson Mandela stood in the front lines in his country.
The infamous 1960 Sharpeville massacre showed the regime responding to democratic demands with violent fury. It also showed to the ANC, which had up to that point embraced nonviolent protest, the necessity to adopt armed struggle in the form of sabotage and guerrilla tactics.
As a consequence of his anti-apartheid activities, Mandela becomes a fugitive from "justice," hiding out in rural safe houses until captured. He and other members of the ANC leadership are sentenced to life imprisonment and are taken to Robben Island en masse to serve their time. The courtroom scene, with ANC supporters' raised fists and freedom songs and chants in the air, is a high point of the film. Mandela's association with the South African Communist Party goes unmentioned here, perhaps a mandated omission for the sake of commercial distribution.
An active storyline involves Mandela's complicated relationship with his second wife, Winnie (the gifted Naomie Harris). Isolated though he was from the outside world during his long imprisonment, Mandela's skills as a leader ever searching for greater unity continue to emerge, even as Winnie is profoundly impacted by life on the ground in the stewing tumult that was South Africa.
The global outpouring of appreciation for Madiba's life can be explained by his unique position at the fulcrum of South African history. Change had to come one way or another, but only this one Great Man could have channeled it toward a resolution in relative peace, with reconciliation and respect for law. His work will long serve as required study for activists for change.

Q: Understanding the reason for the particular formulation of the definition of a concrete reflector (as stated in The Joy of Cats) This question is essentially a followup of this question. But before going into the question  let me introduce the relevant definitions as given in The Joy of Cats.

Definition 1. Let $\bf{X}$ be a category. A concrete category over $\bf{X}$ is a pair $({\bf{A}},U)$, where $\bf{A}$ is a category and $U :{\bf{A}} \to X$ is a faithful functor.
Definition 2. If $({\bf{A}},U)$ and $({\bf{B}}, V )$ are concrete categories over $\bf{X}$ , then a concrete functor from
  $({\bf{A}},U)$ and $({\bf{B}}, V )$ is a functor $F : {\bf{A}}\to {\bf{B}}$ with $U = V \circ F$. We denote such a functor
  by $F : ({\bf{A}},U)\to ({\bf{B}}, V )$.
Definition 3. If $({\bf{A}},U)$ and $({\bf{B}}, V )$ are concrete categories over $\bf{X}$ , then a concrete functor from
  $F:({\bf{A}},U)\to ({\bf{B}}, V )$ is said to be a concrete isomorphism iff $F:{\bf{A}}\to{\bf{B}}$ is an isomorphism.
Definition 4. If $({\bf{A}},U)$ and $({\bf{B}}, V )$ are concrete categories over $\bf{X}$ and $E:\mathbf{A}\hookrightarrow\mathbf{B}$ be the inclusion functor. Then $(\mathbf{A},U)$ is called a concrete subcategory of $(\mathbf{B},V)$ if $U=V\circ E$.
Definition 5. Let $({\bf{A}},U)$ and $({\bf{B}}, V )$ are concrete categories over $\bf{X}$ such that $({\bf{A}},U)$ is a concrete subcategory of $({\bf{B}},V)$. Then $({\bf{A}},U)$ is said to be a concretely reflective subcategory of $({\bf{B}},V)$ if
(1) for each $\mathbf{B}$-object $B$ there exists a $\mathbf{B}$-morphism $r:B\to A$ (where $A$ is an $\mathbf{A}$-object) such that for any $\mathbf{A}$-object $A'$ and any $\mathbf{B}$-morphism $f:B\to A'$, there exists an unique $\mathbf{A}$-morphism $g$ such that $g\circ r=f$. These $r$'s are called $\mathbf{A}$-reflection arrows for $B$'s.
(2) for each such $r$ we have $V(B)=V(A)$ and $V(r)=\text{id}_{V(A)}$.
Definition 6. Let $({\bf{A}},U)$ and $({\bf{B}}, V )$ are concrete categories over $\bf{X}$ such that $({\bf{A}},U)$ is a concrete reflective subcategory of $({\bf{B}},V)$. Then the reflector fuctor thus induced is called a concrete reflector.

If $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{B}$ be two categories and $\mathbf{A}$ is a subcategory of $\mathbf{B}$, then $\mathbf{A}$ is called a reflective subcategory of $\mathbf{B}$ if (1) of the above is satisfied. In this terminology Definition 5 simply says that if $({\bf{A}},U)$ and $({\bf{B}}, V )$ are concrete categories over $\bf{X}$ such that $({\bf{A}},U)$ is a concretely reflective subcategory of $({\bf{B}},V)$ then in particular $\mathbf{A}$ is a reflective subcategory of $\mathbf{B}$.
My Attempt
Motivated by this answer, I first tried to conceptualize the concrete reflector as a reflector which is a concrete functor. But unfortunately this is not the case. Then I tried to conceptualize the concrete reflector as a reflector which is a concrete functor that also preserves the information that "the underlying $\mathbf{X}$-objects of the domain and codomain of a $\mathbf{A}$-reflection arrow for a $\mathbf{B}$-object $B$ is same". But frankly, this is just reinterpreting the definition in a different language and hence I am not satisfied with this and think that there must be some deep reason for adding this condition.
While searching for a motivation for the reason for introducing (2), I stumbled upon J. Fiadeiro's book Categories for Software Engineering. There it is written that,

Intuitively, for the (co)reflection to be
  "concrete", i.e. to be consistent with the classification that the underlying
  functor provides, we would like to remain within the same fibre. That is,
  we would like that the (co)reflection arrows be identities.

But I didn't understand this comment since I don't even have a vague intuitive idea for a concrete functor (the answers to the question that I linked above only focuses on the big-picture viewpoint of the notion of concrete isomorphism).
Question
I am trying to understand the reason for adding (2). What is the motivation for this?

A: I suppose that there are possibly many different answer to this question. Here is the one I got.
Being a reflector is equivalent to being an inclusion that has a left adjoint.
In general being a concrete inclusion, thus an inclusion of categories, that is reflective ensure that the inclusion, as a functor of categories, has an adjoint, but there is no garantee that such adjoint is also a concrete functor.
The condition (2) ensures this requirement: a concrete reflector has a left adjoint that is a concrete functor.
This basically grants that concrete reflector are the real reflectors in the 2-categories of concrete categories (over a given category $\mathbf X$): i.e. those inclusion of concrete categories that have a concrete left adjoint.
Hope this helps.

Every now and again, I look at the work of other scientists and feel envious. Why haven't I managed to do something that exciting? Some people will respond by trying to find a new angle on the the novel work. But others will ask "How can we apply such wonderful ideas in a totally new fashion?" This is the approach our research group has taken with stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy.
STED is a wonderful technique that produces fantastically detailed images of living cells that have been tagged with fluorescent molecules. We wondered, "Why can't you use STED-like processes for label-free microscopy?" In trying to answer that question, we discovered that it might well be possible.
First, a quick refresher on STED microscopy. In STED, the sample is stained with a fluorescent dye that (hopefully) attaches only to the parts of the cell that you are interested in looking at. When illuminated by a laser, these dyes absorb the laser light and then emit light at a slightly longer wavelength. This provides a beautiful, high-contrast image. Unfortunately, it can only resolve features at about the scale of the wavelength of the excitation light. STED makes use of the fact that where the laser has excited the dye, a population inversion exists—most of the dye is in the excited state and ready to emit.
A second laser with a different wavelength causes all the dye to emit through stimulated emission—the same process that provides the light for a laser. This second laser has a beam with a hole in the middle, called a donut beam. As a result, the excited state population is eliminated everywhere except at the very center of the beam. Any emission after this is known to come from that (very small) remaining volume that was in the donut hole, which allows very high resolution images.
We decided to take this general principle and see if it could be applied a coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscope. Which means it's time for a refresher on the workings of CARS. The first thing to note is that CARS involves Raman interactions, where the light fields are pretty much transparent to the sample. Instead, a tiny fraction of the photons scatter off a molecule in such a way that they set the molecule vibrating. In doing so, the photons lose a small amount of energy, changing their wavelength. The vibrational motion of the molecule can be figured out by examining how much energy was lost during the scattering.
This process is generally very inefficient, and the Raman scattered photons go everywhere. CARS provides a second light field that just happens to have the wavelength of the scattered photons. This drives the ground and the vibrational states of the molecules to change in a synchronized fashion.
The molecules in the vibrational state are then strongly driven back into the ground state. They do this by coupling to the light fields and emitting photons that have a higher energy than the original photons. The nice thing about this process is that it is more efficient than Raman scattering and, because it is coherent, a good microscope can collect more of these higher-energy photons.
In terms of microscopy, we like CARS because you label samples by the unique combinations of their natural vibrational modes, which means that you don't need to stain your samples with fluorescent dyes. But I think, given the choice, a biologist would rather have the increased resolution of STED than the advantages of label-free microscopy. And, in an ideal world, they would rather have both.
Applying STED principles to CARS is not straightforward, though, because there are only ever a few molecules in the excited vibrational state. Since there is no population inversion, we cannot use a laser to drive population back to the ground state. The thing that turns out to be important is the coherence. This synchronicity between the ground state and the vibrational state is the process that allows CARS to proceed—without it, there is no CARS emission. The key, then, is to destroy or prevent the build-up of the coherence.
It turns out that this can be done under some circumstances. Before the light fields used to generate CARS are turned on, we blast the sample with a large amount of radiation that is resonant with some other vibrational mode. This excites vibrations in a large fraction of the molecular population. However, these vibrations, through their very motion, excite other vibrational modes. If we hit the sample with enough light, we end up with the population spread evenly over a large number of vibrational modes, including the one that we want to look at with CARS.
What does this get us? Well, it turns out that these coherent changes in vibrational motion require that the ground and vibrational state populations are unequal. By hitting the molecules with enough light, we spread the population over many vibrational states and, eventually, the populations equalize. Once equalized, the CARS lasers fail to establish coherence, and no signal emerges.
The nice thing about this is that we can basically apply all the lessons learned in the development of STED—using a donut shaped beam limits CARS emissions to a tiny volume in the center. On a slightly more problematic note, we need to use lasers that excite vibrational states—in other words these laser have to emit light with wavelengths longer than 2.4 micrometers. These light sources tend to be a bit, um, cumbersome. Also, the high-quality optics required for a microscopy setup are not as readily available.
Another concern is the amount of laser power required to generate equal populations. In this case, we have some good news. If it can be done, it will be done at powers that will not damage the sample. This is because the process doesn't have to take place rapidly, so one can stretch the pulse out to lower the power. On the other hand, the energy is still going somewhere, so we are kind of hoping that it dissipates harmlessly.
Where, you might ask, is the experiment? Well, we are currently looking for a new student to put on the problem, so hopefully it won't be too far away.

Q: encrypt the Trigger text I do not want anyone to see my trigger query. How to encrypt the Trigger text. Or ask for a password when opening the trigger.
please help me

A: A quick perusal of the documentation for CREATE TRIGGER reveals that you can specify WITH ENCRYPTION:

CREATE [ OR ALTER ] TRIGGER [ schema_name . ]trigger_name
  ON { table | view }
  [ WITH <dml_trigger_option> [ ,...n ] ]

...

<dml_trigger_option> ::=
    [ ENCRYPTION ]
    [ EXECUTE AS Clause ]

So you can specify this option and your trigger is encrypted. But, hang on a second. Why are you letting things get even to this stage? Most of your users shouldn't have broad VIEW DEFINITION permissions in the first place. So rather than reaching for encryption, make sure that your permissions are correctly defined.
Most of the people who do have VIEW DEFINITION should already be a minimal group and probably have other means of accessing the definitions anyway (by e.g. consulting source control)

Amy from amyscreativeside.com is hosting her biannual Blogger's Quilt Festival and I'm entering two categories this Spring. Two!
This is my entry for Original Design. I used one of the older type of pre-cuts - the half charm charm packs. I made my favourite block the Churn Dash and tried out some Welsh inspired machine quilting. The wall hanging finishes at 35 1/2 inches square.
This photo lets you see how I integrated the churn dash into the quilting; I imagined the corners as baskets and quilted handles for them and added a flower and leaves.
This photo is a bit blurry but shows the quilting in the middle where I quilted 4 "leaves" and added some basic swirls.
You can read my original post about this quilt here.
If you spend some time looking around, or even just scroll back up to my header, you'll notice that my usual style is bright and vibrant. I love to play with bright colours but find comfort in quilts that feel grounded and balanced. The churn dash floating on a background is a departure from my usual style but pays tribute to the Mennonite quilts that were my first exposure to quilting. Their quilts exude comfort and skill and love for me.
I hope I shared some of that comfort and joy with you today.
Here's a link to the main Blogger's Quilt Festival where you can explore all of the categories.
Thanks for visiting. I have an entry in the ROYGBIV category too - come see!
Oh Sarah! I love this one too! I just love how you made patchwork of your favorite block! Great idea!

UBS: Asian market may "turn things around" GDP growth is expected to grow by 5.8% in 2022

China News Agency, Beijing, November 29 (Reporter Pang Wuji) The global wealth management agency UBS released its 2022 Global Outlook Report and Investment Asia Pacific Report on the 29th, saying that since this year, Asian stock markets have not performed as well as the United States and the world.
However, as vaccination continues to advance, economic activities are gradually opening up, and travel restrictions have finally begun to relax. Asia, which has been relatively lagging this year, may "turn things around" in 2022.
The report pointed out that Asian stock markets have fallen 1% this year, while the United States (MSCI US Index) and the world (MSCI World Index) have risen by 26% and 19%, respectively.
But this situation is expected to change next year.
Chen Minlan, Chief Investment Officer and Chief Investment Officer Office of UBS Asia Pacific, said that looking forward to the future, UBS has a positive view on the prospects of Asia.
The haze looming over the financial market, including supply bottlenecks and rising energy prices, is expected to gradually dissipate in 2022.
At the same time, the rapid advancement of vaccination will enable Asian economies to further move towards a full restart in 2022.
Chen Minlan believes that in the new year, risky assets in Asia will perform well. Winners under structural trends such as falling behind to make up for stock gains, economic restart, and technological disruption and net-zero transformation will have investment opportunities.
UBS expects that although Asian economic growth will slow down next year, it will remain stable, and Asian GDP growth is expected to be around 5.8% in 2022 (this year is expected to be 7%).
MSCI Asia (except Japan) estimates that there will be a mid-double-digit increase.
From a global perspective, UBS believes that 2022 will be a year of divergence in the second half of the year: the economy grew rapidly in the first half of the year and inflation was high, and in the second half of the year, economic growth will slow down and inflation will fall.
Mark Haefele, Chief Investment Officer of UBS Wealth Management, pointed out that in the long run, investors should look for opportunities in the transformation of net zero emissions and disruptive "ABCs" (ie artificial intelligence, big data, and cyber security). The combined revenue of the three major technical fields of data and network security will grow from US$386 billion in 2020 to US$625 billion in 2025.

According to Gurdjieff the enneagram figure is a symbol that represents the "law of seven" and the "law of three" (the two fundamental universal laws) and, therefore, the figure can be used to describe any natural whole phenomenon, cosmos, process in life or any other piece of knowledge. The basic use of the enneagram is to explain why nothing in nature and in life constantly occurs in a straight line, that is to say that there are always ups and downs in life which occur lawfully. Easier examples of this can be noticed in athletic performances, where a high ranked athlete always has periodic downfalls, as well as in nearly all graphs that plot topics that occur over time, such as the economic graphs, population graphs, death-rate graphs and so on. All show parabolic periods that keep rising and falling. Gurdjieff claimed that since these periods occur lawfully based on the Enneagram that it is possible to keep a process in a straight line if the necessary shocks were introduced at the right time.
The principal enneagram figure used by the Fourth Way and Gurdjieff is a circle with nine points. Within the circle is a triangle connecting points 9, 3 and 6. The inscribed figure resembling a web connects the other six points in a cyclic figure 1-4-2-8-5-7. This enneagram's construction is based on the laws of octaves. The enneagram's construction is also constructed lawfully on the same laws as the decimal system. If the enneagram is used to represent a whole octave of notes and the number 1, then by dividing 1 into seven different notes...
1/7=.142857...
...it can be noticed that all of these fractions, except in the case of the last one, are made up of the same numbers running in a definite sequence, and by joining those numbers on the figure the given web-like shape is obtained. Also, if the web is used in an explanation, by knowing the initial number of the period it is possible to immediately re-establish the whole period in full.
On the enneagram most processes are represented through octaves where the points serve as the notes; a concept which is derived from Gurdjieff's idea of the law of seven. In an octave the developing process comes to a critical point (one of the triangle points) at which help from outside is needed for it to rightly continue. This concept is best illustrated on the keys of the piano where every white key would represent an enneagram point. The adjacent white keys which are missing a black key (half note) in between represent the enneagram web points which have a triangle point in between. In order that this point would pass onto the next, an external push is required.
Using the enneagram a process is depicted as going right around the circle beginning at point 9 (the ending point of a previous process). The process can continue until it reaches point 3. At this point an external aid is needed in order that the process continues. If it doesn't receive the 'help' the process will stop evolving and will devolve back into the form from which it evolved. The process continues until point 6 and later 9, where a similar "push" is needed. If the process passes point 9 the initial process will end while giving birth to a new one.
This external "push" thing appears to be very interesting..

Now, the propaganda model is a theory advanced by Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky that alleges systemic biases in the mass media and seeks to explain them in terms of structural economic causes. "The 20th century has been characterized by three developments of great political importance: the growth of democracy, the growth of corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy." First presented in their 1988 book Manufacturing Consent: the Political Economy of the Mass Media, the propaganda model views the private media as businesses selling a product — readers and audiences (rather than news) — to other businesses (advertisers).
Could you expand a bit?

In a totalitarian state, it doesn't matter what people think, since the government can control people by force using a bludgeon. But when you can't control people by force, you have to control what people think, and the standard way to do this is via propaganda (manufacture of consent, creation of necessary illusions), marginalizing the general public or reducing them to apathy of some fashion. It's the primary function of the mass media in the United States to mobilize public support for the special interests that dominate the government and the private sector. In the U.S., the major decisions over what happens in a society (investment, production, distribution, etc.) are in the hands of a relatively concentrated network of major corporations, conglomerates, and investment firms. They're also the ones who staff the major executive positions in the government, and they're the ones who own the media, and are the ones who are in the position to make decisions. They have an overwhelmingly dominant role in the way life happens, what's done in this society.
Chomsky's work is not directed to intellectuals, but to what are called 'ordinary people.' And in fact what he expects from them is exactly what they are, that they should understand the world and act according to their decent impulses. And that they should try to improve the world. He helps people develop intellectual self-defense... He doesn't mean go to school, because people are not going to get it there... It means that they have to develop an independent mind, and work on it. That's extremely hard to do alone... The "beauty" of the system is that it isolates everybody. Each person is sitting alone in front of the tube. It's very hard to have ideas or thoughts under those circumstances. You can't fight the world alone. Some people can, but it's pretty rare. The way to do it is through organization.
The point is that people have to work. And that's why the propaganda system is so successful. Very few people are going to have the time or the energy or the commitment to carry out the constant battle that's required to get outside of Lehrer, or Dan Rather, or somebody like that. The easy thing to do, you know, you come home from work, you're tired, you had a busy day, you're not going to spend the evening carrying out a research project. So you turn on the tube, you say it's probably right, or you look at the headlines in the paper, and then you're watching sports or something. That's basically the way the system of indoctrination works. Sure the other stuff is there, but you've to work to find it.

Here are some of the signs:
1. People who avoid answering the issues you raise with them;
2. A group that uses psychologically coercive techniques to recruit and indoctrinate members;
3. An organization that uses falsehood in their indoctrination and recruiting methods;
4. A group that maintains that "the end justifies the means";
5. An organization that forms a totalitarian society;
6. A group that has a charismatic, dogmatic leader who plays "Messiah" and demands total devotion: he or she can seem like the most wonderful person you have ever heard of;
7. A group that obtains funds through deception for the personal gain and/or power of the leader;
8. A group that performs no real service to society, although they claim to do so (remember, deceit is one of their tickets);
9. A group that destroys existing relationships with family and friends -- if your family is aware that something is happening to you, the group tells you that your family is evil, or doesn't want you to progress, or that your family is the only reason you have ever been sick or unhappy in your life. (This is another major tool destructive cults use: they tell you your family members or close friends, if they are critical of the organization, are "negative" or "suppressive", or whatever buzzword the group uses for its enemies, and that your family and friends are actually making you sick, and trying to hold you back);
10. An organization that teaches fear, hatred, and rejection of society, while claiming to promote the cause of world peace and universal love. (A good example of a group that teaches hate, fear and rejection is the Ku Klux Klan -- under the definition of most religions, political parties, the Mafia, any terrorist group, the KKK -- all of these could claim they are a religion, since they follow the same definition used by most of the pseudo-religious cults and mind control groups);
11. A group that practices intimidation of critics by threats (which they sometimes carry out) or lawsuits, allow no development of the individual. (If a person in the group questions or wants to be an individual, he or she is told that the way to be an individual is to become more and more involved with the organization);
12. An organization that isolates their members, either mentally or physically, polarizing the group and society into opposing camps, creating an "us/them" mentality, making the members identify exclusively with the group;
13. A group that demands full-time or lifetime commitment: if you are allowed to work in the outside world, it is to get money for the cult, or for further programming or training within the cult for yourself;
14. An organization that has secret practices and docrines and/or objectives that the average new recruit has absolutely no idea about;
15. A group that has simple black-and-white solutions for the world's problems: if everyone becomes a member of this particular cult, then there won't be any war, hunger, or oppression;
16. An organization that makes its members afraid to dare to speak up, even afraid to think about how the cult is oppressing them;
17. A group that suppresses critical thought, blocking out questions and doubts by various methods, such as: chanting; rules of silence; long hours of meditation, study, processing, or counselling; speaking in tongues; various forms of repetitive action; inadequate diet or sleep;
18. An organization whose methods rob their members of free will, destroying family relationships;
19. A group that creates an attitude of willing slavery in its members: people in the group become willing to work long, long hours for the benefit of the organization -- not for their own individual benefit;
20. An organization that creates neuroses and psychoses in its members, so that some members become very angry if anyone points out that their organization may not be what it says, and may even be a destructive cult, and other members can even become violent towards anyone who disagrees with them;
21. A group that creates physical deterioration in its members, often caused by malnutrition, sleep deprivation, overwork, or emotional stress;
22. An organization that destroys its members' judgment, reducing their ability to evaluate for themselves what is most important to them individually, so each member thinks only of the group, losing sight of his or her own self.
The FBI has always recognized the value of consulting with behavioral experts in crisis situations. The FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia, maintains a Behavioral Sciences Unit and the National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime, both staffed with experienced forensic psychologists. The Behavioral Sciences Unit's work in profiling serial murderers has earned it a worldwide reputation. During the Waco standoff the FBI utilized the Behavioral Sciences Unit for advice in dealing with Koresh and his followers. In addition to utilizing its in-house resources, the FBI also solicited and received input from various outside experts in many fields, including:
Negotiation Techniques
The FBI received this input both orally and in writing, and in each case ensured that the appropriate officials at FBI headquarters and on scene at Waco were made aware of the input. The FBI and the Attorney General also received input from various military and medical experts in connection with the planning for the April 19 tear gas plan. The FBI also received unsolicited advice and offers of assistance from many individuals; not surprisingly, this input was rarely useful. For example, on March 16, 1993 a well-known rock band contacted the FBI and offered to perform outside the Mt. Carmel Compound, and to play a song that U.S. helicopters broadcast at enemy troops to demoralize them during the Vietnam War. On the other hand, the FBI received an unsolicited letter from the Harvard Negotiation Project containing thoughtful and specific suggestions to assist the negotiators in formulating a framework for further negotiations with Koresh. A smaller number of offers came from individuals lacking a firm grip on reality, such as people claiming to be God or Jesus offering to "order" Koresh to leave the compound. One person was arrested on his way to the compound brandishing a samurai sword, which he said God had told him to deliver to Koresh.
Throughout the Waco standoff, the FBI meticulously kept track of all unsolicited offers of assistance, and followed up on those that seemed to promise any reasonable chance of producing helpful information. There were certain areas of activity in which the FBI did not seek outside help. For example, the FBI did not request assistance from any outside law enforcement agencies in performing any of its tactical operations; it did not request assistance with negotiations, since the FBI's best negotiators were assigned to Waco throughout the 51-day standoff; and it did not consult with outside experts regarding the decision to play loud music and Tibetan Monk chants over the loudspeakers to irritate those inside the compound. Ultimately, the most useful information came from those experts (both inside and outside the FBI) from whom the FBI solicited information. These experts supplied a wide range of information about Koresh's state of mind and behavior, and provided input on some of the most important issues the FBI faced. For example, many of the experts agreed that the possibility of mass suicide existed, but no consensus emerged about the likelihood of suicide. Significantly, all the experts agreed that Koresh would not leave the compound voluntarily. on other issues, however, the expert opinions were not consistent. For example, some of the experts believed that Koresh was psychotic, while others believed he was not. The FBI considered all the information it received and made the best judgment it could considering how such information could best be used to further the FBI's goals of achieving a peaceful end to the standoff with no loss of life.

No doubt about it -- FBI has some excellent profilers that it has used in cases like Waco; e.g., Clint van Zandt (although he was sent to the scene reluctantly -- someone had decided that Van Zandt's Christian faith might leave him susceptible to Koresh's evangelical teachings.) Van Zandt spent hours with Koresh, working diligently to pierce his veil of spirituality, trying to make sense of his wild ramblings while at the same time trying to talk some sense into him. Koresh addressed Van Zandt as "Brother Clint" because he knew Clint was a practicing Christian. Van Zandt says this drawn out ordeal took an emotional toll on him at a time in his career when he was "one fuse short of burning out."
http://www.cbn.com/700club/guests/bios/ClintvanZandt110206.aspx
Clint says he was born to be an FBI agent. In fact, throughout his growing up, Clint says, "an FBI agent was all I ever wanted to be. I wanted to chase the bad guys, preserve order, and protect my fellow man." After high school, Clint attended Eastern Illinois University but dropped out due to lousy grades and a tuition bill he couldn't afford. A short time later, Clint tried attending Southern Illinois University again, but this attempt was another bust. So, Clint applied with the FBI. He received a letter that J. Edgar Hoover sent him offering him a job as a GS-2 file clerk in the St. Louis Field Office. He stayed for about a year and then made the decision to once again go to college. He enrolled again at Southern Illinois University in late 1965. This time he was committed to his academic goals and completed his undergraduate degree a few years later. Meanwhile with the draft hanging over his head, his FBI agent friends advised him to enlist and do a stint for military intelligence.
Clint became a special agent with the U.S. Army Intelligence and served during the Vietnam War. With three years of military experience behind him as a special agent, one year as an FBI file clerk and one semester away from his undergraduate degree, Clint reapplied to the FBI in December 1970. He joined the Bureau in July 1971, a couple of weeks after graduation. His first assignment was to a small resident agency in Rome, Georgia. He made 100 arrests his first full year. From Rome it was on to upstate New York for the first significant, open-ended stop of his FBI career, which took Clint headfirst into a frontline hostage barricade assignment. It was there that Clint learned negotiating strategies and tactics. After a short stint to Philadelphia, Clint and his family moved to Fredericksburg, Virginia, where he took a job at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. He served eight years in the Special Operation and Research Unit (SOARU) as Chief Hostage Negotiator and overall Program Manager for Hostage Negotiations. Clint retired from the FBI in 1995 after 25 years of service, ending his career as the FBI's Chief Hostage Negotiator and a Supervisor in the Bureau's Behavioral Science. After retiring from the Bureau in 1995, he started his own company, Van Zandt Associates, Inc., which provides behaviorally oriented crisis management, threat assessment and forensic consulting services to the corporate security world.

Budapest, February 25 (MTI) – Commemorations were held nationwide on Wednesday in memory of the victims of totalitarianism and the hundreds of thousands deported from Hungary to forced labour camps during World War Two.
As all communist leaders are responsible for the Gulag, no institution in Hungary should be allowed to carry the name of a communist, Antal Rogan, head of ruling Fidesz's parliamentary group, said. Addressing a commemoration at Budapest's Gulag memorial, Rogan emphasised that the crimes had been committed by the communists not the Russian people.
"The ideal of equality failed to create a society of equal and happy people. Forced labour camps were the only place where this ideal was fully translated into reality," he said.
People in the western world who had no personal experience with the horrors of communism tend to relativise or belittle communist crimes but this is something central Europeans should never allow, Rogan said.
Mihaly Varga, the economy minister, said in Budapest that "no matter in which direction the world will turn, we must know which values we insist on." Addressing a commemoration organised by the co-ruling Christian Democrats, Varga noted that communism claimed one million lives in Eastern Europe. "The era that took something away from all of us must be remembered," he said.
Gabor Vona, the leader of radical national radical Jobbik, addressed a commemoration in Gyomro in Pest county, at a plaque commemorating victims in the town and its area.
"Not only those innocent people murdered for an ideological reason and their family members have been victims of communism, but in a certain sense we are all the victims of that regime, because a deep-rooted fear is still with us," Vona said. "Our main duty now, in 2015, is to wipe out this gut fear in ourselves," he said.


The twin designers at Dsquared2, Dean and Dan Caten, turned their show into a prison cell. Bad boys have always been their inspiration, so it wasn't surprising to see them go this route; at least for me. While they offered cool quilted jackets (in vivid orange for rebellious assurance), silk prison suits, button-down shirts with cell numbers and sweaters embossed with "Caten's Penitentiary," denim was the soul that hold these collection together.
They know how to cut and sew a pair of denim like no other, giving it a modern twist to them, as were their distressed, bleached, and loosely yet tailored jeans, and youthful denim jackets. But they proved they also have an understanding for tailoring in outerwear, such as in one luxurious dark cherry coat that was noteworthy. The clothes in reality had potential for its most loyal customers.
Supreme masculinity and sensuality. That's what Mr. Giorgio Armani sent out for his men's fall 2014 collection. He delivered what may have been one of his best collections to date in sumptuous body-hugging suits (mostly in gray shades, navy, and black) that defined the torso – man curves - and shoulders. This was a weapon where one could appreciate the male physique of someone who devotes time to the gym.
He styled these suits with classical white shirts buttoned to the neck, no tie, and waistcoats that made every model even more masculine. It was pleasing to see him take another route where relaxed clothes used to be the protagonist – loosely fitted trousers and straight jackets – and instead opt for impressive garments where slim dominated the runway. Even outerwear was desirable in soft furry coats, asymmetrical color-block jackets, and cardigans that were cut to simulate a biker jacket. Some more relaxed drawstring trousers (cut perfectly) paired with invigorating knitted sweaters were more manly than boyish. And for evening, Mr. Armani decided to go for rich velvet jackets worn over simple t-shirts and waistcoats I thought looked stunning for such a look.
In general, these clothes stated power in a mien casual manner where sometimes all a man needs is a great quality fabric, texture, and a hint of tailoring to execute a look. Mr. Armani delivered all of these three exquisitely well.
I've always been a big fan of Roberto Cavalli. There is always something fresh and dandy about what Mr. Cavalli has to offer, it simply feels right to splurge some money on his collections. Whether it'd be in a lustrous jacquard party suit, embroidered white shirt, or seductive outerwear jackets, the designer seems to have everything put together. But his latest fall men's wear collection didn't transmit much desire for the first time.
Lately, Mr. Cavalli's son has been taking over the men's collection, but for this one he explained it was all his own ideas. There were some of Cavalli's signature codes present: animal print shirts; metallic jacquard suits and embellished sweaters; convincing distressed denim pants that were worth the look; engraved leather numbers; and those rebellious vintage accessories in scarves, bracelets, and color-block shoes.
It wasn't such a tedious collection, but there was something missing here………seduction. It was present at around the end of the show in his slim-tailoring velvet suits and gold jacquard suits - in single or double-breasted - worn with embroidered white button-down shirts every man should have one of. Yes, there were still items to spend on next season, but not a collection to lust for like in previous seasons.
Meanwhile, it was Fendi and Prada who brought practical innovation and fashion throughout the whole Milan men's fashion week.
At Fendi, Silvia Venturi Fendi, scored high notes with her energetic hybrid and urbanwear clothes. What was just an ordinary knitted turtleneck, she took the time to experiment with it and develop a surreal needle punched fur-shearling piece that looked extraordinary – in a luxury status - worn with ultra slim trousers. And she may have been the only designer who played with luxury in the most sophisticated and quirky manners.
Outerwear was her sweet spot, which was full of fresh ideas: a one-in-all camel cashmere, leather, and shearling collar jacket; a superbly played fake crocodile jacket that was actually stamped leather; long and lean tailored coats in intricate wools; leather jackets with magnified stitches you could understand its cut; and more thick furry coats only Fendi is a master at. And even better was the fact that outerwear here were reversible in many cases.
Suits were kept slim and single-breasted worn with chromatic knits and un-tucked buttoned shirts. Important noting also were her wacky ear-long hats that are sure to be a sensation among her young audience, together with her appealing high-top sneakers and glossy shoes. This collection was without a doubt on spot – tailored and very youthful – for the customer who hasn't had a clue yet on what to spend his money on.
Miuccia Prada seems to be the only who speaks wearable fashion. While most designers are convinced sportswear is the next moving trend, Ms. Prada wanted to show off her tailoring skills in the most appropriate and living colors for fall – purple, red, camel, powder blue, and sage.
She staged her runway on what seemed to be a theatre where models had either finished acting or on a break before the show. That's what I love about a Prada show. There's a story to be told, and unlike her last romantic and powerful spring collection, this was toned down drastically but even more marketable besides her skinny scarves (or ties) wrapped around the neck of every model to compliment a new color scheme.
There were options to either go for loose fitted trousers or slim ones worn with nicely tailored suit jackets, luxe buttoned-down shirts or mesh tank-tops, and glossy sneakers that broke the code of formality. Severe casualty is what conceded in a 70s silhouette. Kitsch were her fur numbers that could appeal to her extreme Prada follower. While for outerwear, long lightweight wool coats were the solution. This collection depicted once more why Ms. Prada is so successful. She doesn't follow a trend, she sets the trend. And color was her new provocation.

They provide an inside look at issues, trends, products, and strategies applicable to educators at all levels.
Libraries have constantly evolved in tandem with advances in technology. Just as libraries offered word processing software before personal computers were commonplace in homes and offered students their first chance to try the Internet, public libraries now enable patrons to explore e-readers, tablets and maker spaces.
The ALA convened a diverse collection of digital inclusion advocates to explore the ways in which libraries are leading the way in building digitally inclusive communities that support individual opportunity and community progress. "Today libraries are less about what we have than what we can do with and for our patrons."

It includes articles on getting the right hardware, choosing an Internet service provider, designing an online project, and fostering acceptable use.
While the technology is, in theory, much more accessible today, the themes of designing projects and integrating technology into the classroom are timeless.
These resources can help with technology integration, but your school needs to invest in professional development and planning time if the expected benefits will override the costs.

Blackhawks take soccer skills to the ice, have headed overtime goal nullified
By fulhamsfinestMay 20, 2015, 7:20 AM EDT
The Chicago Blackhawks were taking on the Anaheim Ducks in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals on the west coast last night.
Yes, I realize this is a soccer website. Stay with me.
Into a second overtime and the Blackhawks on their heels for most of the last 20 minutes, a scrum in front of the Anaheim goal resulted in Chicago winger Andrew Shaw heading the puck into the net for what everyone believed to be the sudden death game-winner. Chicago celebrated like they had tied the series at 1-1, but the referees held off signaling anything until they'd looked at the video.
Take a look yourself:
THIS IS NO GOAL! #StanleyCup pic.twitter.com/ZcGsPWPRYZ
— NHL on NBC (@NHLonNBCSports) May 20, 2015
As the NHL tweet there spoiled, amid all the celebration, the goal was nullified, with hockey analysts across the country admitting they had no idea such a play was possible, let alone illegal.
On closer inspection, Rule 78.5: "Apparent goal shall be disallowed by the referee…When the puck has been directed, batted, or thrown into the net by an attacking player other than with a stick." Boo. But no matter. Chicago went on to win in a third overtime on a goal from Marcus Kruger in what turned out to be the longest game in franchise history.
Here at ProSoccerTalk, we believe such skills in the box should count for something. Shaw was left completely unmarked, and directed the puck expertly off his forehead into the back of the net. We have just one question…he can do it in a hockey rink, but can he do it on a cold, rainy night in Stoke?
Here's full video:
