Cursó la carrera de Derecho en la Escuela Nacional de Jurisprudencia donde obtuvo su título. Escribió algunas obras poéticas y  después de sus primeras letras y libros ingresó en el Seminario Conciliar, donde aprendió a hablar latín y griego, es por eso que rápidamente comenzó a destacar en Colima. En 1888, comenzó a trabajar en un Diario. En 1894, impartió clases en la Escuela Nacional Preparatoria y en la Escuela Nacional de Altos Estudios. Formó parte del Liceo Mexicano de Cultura, donde de 1897 a 1905 estuvo empleado en la Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores por lo que fue enviado a Estados Unidos, Portugal, Inglaterra y Rusia, para después ser Ministro de México en Alemania y después en Suecia. El 4 de noviembre de 1905, llegó a New York desde el puerto de Veracruz, en el barco de nombre "Yucatán", a la edad de 39 años. Su número de la lista era el 19 y registró como ocupación "empleado". Aunque su destino final era Washington, la bitácora del barco señala que no tenía un ticket para tal destino. Viajaba con Manuel Fernández y Manuel Dávalos, los tres registraron como "persona a la que visitan" al "C. Mexican Consul #19".

Revitalized Maintenance building increases efficiency to provide readiness
Maj. Gen. Troy D. Kok, commanding general of the U.S. Army Reserve's 99th Regional Support Command, speaks with U.S. Congressman Thomas R. Suozzi and New York City Council Member, 19th District, Queens, Paul A. Vallone at the ribbon-cutting ceremony Aug. 17 for the revitalized AMSA/OMS (Area Maintenance Support Activity/Organizational Maintenance Shop) in Fort Totten. The center underwent a $12.6 million full-facility revitalization, allowing technicians to perform in an up-to-date facility to meet readiness standards as well as train military unit mechanics as needed so they can perform maintenance while they're deployed.

Socially conscious business leaders across South Africa: this is your opportunity to use your knowledge and skills to help create #TheFutureWeWant
Symphonia for South Africa (SSA) is calling on business leaders to commit to its Partners for Possibility (PfP) programme in 2021. This is an opportunity to contribute to education through a partnership with a principal from an under-resourced school while benefiting from a hands-on experience that is designed to hone leadership skills.
#TheFutureWeWant is a vision of what is possible if all South Africans work together to achieve a common goal: quality education for all children. Research tells us that one of the main characteristics of a successful school is a capacitated and energised school principal. If school leaders are key drivers of quality education, then tapping into the vast pool of skills and experience available within the business sector to support their development makes total sense.
PfP does exactly this – partnering socially conscious business leaders with school principals so that they can become agents of change who find their own solutions to the problems their schools face. Principals from under-resourced schools and their business partners both partake in a 12-month journey of leadership growth in which much of the learning occurs as they tackle challenges together in schools. The business leaders benefit from a hands-on experience that is designed to hone their leadership skills too – in a set-up vastly different from their working environments ̶ a school that is burdened by multiple persistent challenges; some systemic, others unique.
Most school principals in South Africa face formidable leadership challenges, including inadequate school infrastructure and learning resources, demotivated teachers, impoverished learners and communities who feel disenfranchised and disillusioned. In stark contrast to the experience of school principals, who arguably lead the country's most important institutions, the leaders in South Africa's business community have typically been very well-equipped by their various organisations to assume leadership positions and manage change.
Within 10 years, the PfP programme has reached over 1,500 under-resourced schools across all nine of South Africa's provinces and has touched the lives of over a million learners. #TheFutureWeWant campaign aims to reach a further 600 schools within the next two years. This would realise our goal of reaching 2,000 schools (about 10% of the under-resourced schools in South Africa) by 2022.
PfP has been endorsed by prominent South African thought leaders, including former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela, Distinguished Professor of Education at Stellenbosch University, Jonathan Jansen and Archbishop Emeritus of Cape Town, Desmond Tutu. The programme has also received local and international accolades for its work in education and leadership development.
Interested business leaders can make contact at Dorcas@Symphonia.net. Alternatively, if you know someone who may be interested, please forward our details to them.


Whether you ship Jelena or still haven't come to terms with Abelena's breakup, chances are you're going to relate to this little factoid. Turns out, Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber are giving their romance another chance, and it's simply because the heart wants what it wants. "Justin was Selena's first love," a source told People magazine. "He will always have a special place in her heart. She's always held out hope that one day the circumstances and timing would be right." And it seems it was never too late for Justin to say sorry because Selena apparently "always saw the best in him" despite his legal and relationship troubles. Either this insider is a bad liar or these two are on their way to becoming music's next power couple yet again.

The Glass Hotel (Kobo eBook)
By Emily St. John Mandel
**ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR:
THE NEW YORKER • NPR • TIME • THE WASHINGTON POST• ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY •FORTUNE • GLAMOUR • ELLE • THE AV CLUB •REAL SIMPLE• LITHUB •PARADE •THE BBC • THRILLIST • BOOKPAGE • ELECTRIC LITERATURE • GOOD HOUSEKEEPING • BUSTLE • THE ECONOMIST • INSIDER • HUFFPOST • NEW YORK POST •THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY
From the award-winning author of Station Eleven, an exhilarating novel set at the glittering intersection of two seemingly disparate events--a massive Ponzi scheme collapse and the mysterious disappearance of a woman from a ship at sea.**
Vincent is a bartender at the Hotel Caiette, a five-star lodging on the northernmost tip of Vancouver Island. On the night she meets Jonathan Alkaitis, a hooded figure scrawls a message on the lobby's glass wall: Why don't you swallow broken glass. High above Manhattan, a greater crime is committed: Alkaitis is running an international Ponzi scheme, moving imaginary sums of money through clients' accounts. When the financial empire collapses, it obliterates countless fortunes and devastates lives. Vincent, who had been posing as Jonathan's wife, walks away into the night. Years later, a victim of the fraud is hired to investigate a strange occurrence: a woman has seemingly vanished from the deck of a container ship between ports of call.
In this captivating story of crisis and survival, Emily St. John Mandel takes readers through often hidden landscapes: campgrounds for the near-homeless, underground electronica clubs, the business of international shipping, service in luxury hotels, and life in a federal prison. Rife with unexpected beauty, The Glass Hotel is a captivating portrait of greed and guilt, love and delusion, ghosts and unintended consequences, and the infinite ways we search for meaning in our lives.

An all-round success
It is hardly surprising that the owner of an exclusive villa will also set the highest standards for the elevator. Interestingly enough, LUTZ Aufzüge won this contract thanks to its outstanding reputation in the area of marine elevators. The property owner asked a renowned shipyard in Bremen, which company could build him a round elevator. The answer was: only LUTZ can do that. And so LUTZ Aufzüge carried out the installation of this facility which always makes the guests feel as if they were on board an exclusive yacht whenever they ride in it.
Due to its round shape, the elevator fits perfectly into the curved staircase and thus fully meets the architectural requirements of the villa.
The elegant cabin lighting and the flat, split bracket that rounds off the stainless steel handrail clearly reflect the yacht standards.
The client's other requirement was that the installed technical equipment should as much as possible be concealed. Therefore, they opted to mount the door actuating system at the bottom. In the case of the cable elevator, the required low noise levels were achieved by opting for a 1:1 suspension and housing the actuating system in the attic.


The Obagi ELASTIderm Eye Serum strategically combats the problematic signs of aging around the delicate eye area. Active ingredient Malconic Acid helps rebuild the elasticity to alleviate bags under the eye area, as well reduce puffiness that can hinder the appearance of healthy, bright looking skin. Caffeine is another ingredient present in the ELASTIderm Eye Serum that actually reduces the appearance of dark circles under and around the eye area for a more vibrant, energetic look and feel.
The Obagi ELASTIderm Eye Serum further astonishes with its innovative roller ball technology that allows an easy and effective application that helps smooth and reduce puffiness while allowing the serum to deeply penetrate the skin. Incorporating the Obagi ELASTIderm Eye Serum in a daily skin care regiment will greatly reduce crow's feet, fine lines and wrinkles, puffiness and dark circles around the eye area, and help achieve the ideal youthful, bright, smooth look.


While a health-focus permeates and perhaps still dominates the overall philosophy of senior-living facilities, an increasing number of today's residents demand a much broader range of amenities and luxuries than past generations. This modern mindset among aging citizens continues to drive much of the evolution in the design and construction of these environments.
After the introduction of Medicare and Medicaid in the mid-1960s, accommodations for the aging split into several types: the prior method of health care (nursing homes), senior housing (seniors-only communities), hospitality (a more relaxed, resort-like setting) and hybrid (a mixture of the old-style treatment and the new trend of comfort).
The result was the emergence of more carefree facilities for older generations. Instead of concentrating on providing nursing and care for seniors who were sick, these new facilities were focused more on helping residents enjoy retirement with people of the same age.
A leader in healthcare and senior living facility construction, Granger Construction has been at the forefront of this evolution.
When senior living facilities originally came into fashion, they were fairly spartan in design, sometimes offering only the basic necessities. Now, modern facilities provide numerous amenities to residents, including housekeeping, food, transportation and various forms of entertainment. Often whole towns, complete with markets and businesses, spring up within these modern communities. Salons, restaurants, wellness centers and pharmacies may line the streets of what can more or less become a town within a town. These businesses add a layer of "home" to the community, helping add to the feeling that it's much more than just a basic healthcare center.
The pace of retirement of the Baby Boomer generation, along with longer life expectancy, means there are now more senior citizens than ever, with the numbers continuing to rise.
In 1960, there were about 15 million U.S. citizens over the age of 65. As of this year, there are more than 50 million elder Americans, with approximately one million currently living in an elderly community. By the year 2030, there are expected to be twice that number in senior facilities; by 2060, it is predicted that there will be about 100 million U.S. citizens older than 65.
The continued increase in the size of the senior population correlate to a rise in the number of senior living facilities being built.


Hope you don't mind, I shared this to FB. I am feeling the same as you right now. Levi is 2 years old in 1 month, and I can't even begin to comprehend how we will afford care for him once his Cowdens/PTEN presents. So far, his tests have been good, but as you know, it is just a matter of time before they aren't.
We are standing and fighting with you.
I'm certainly flattered you shared. All the best to you. Together we will all get through. None of us are alone. Hopefully that brings you the same peace it brings me.

The new Montblanc Great Characters, James Dean Special Edition is dedicated to the American actor (1931 – 1955). He is remembered as a cultural icon of teenage disillusionment and social estrangement, as expressed in the title of his most celebrated film, Rebel Without a Cause (1955), in which he starred as troubled teenager Jim Stark. Two other roles that defined his stardom were loner Cal Trask in East of Eden (1955) and surly ranch hand Jett Rink in Giant (1956). After his death in a car crash, Dean became the first and only actor to have had two posthumous acting nominations. The overall shape of the Special Edition pen is inspired by the knife which Dean used in Rebel Without a Cause.
The engraved pattern on the cap and barrel recalls the jeans he wore in the same film; his red jacket inspired the collection's color - Rebel Red. The clip pays homage to the shotgun Dean wielded in Giant. In a nod to his fondness for car racing, the James Dean fountain pen has a rhodium-coated, 18K gold nib engraved with a design of checkered flags and the license number of his famous Porsche Spyder. The James Dean collection also includes a twist ballpoint pen, capped rollerball, notebook with leather cover, and James Dean Rebel Red bottle ink, ballpoint and rollerball refills.

On January 1, 2017, physicians, providers, and health care providers will embark on the era of MACRA, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015, which will dramatically change how providers are paid by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Signed into federal law by President Obama on April 16, 2015, MACRA is a fix for the unsustainable Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) formula.
On October 14, 2016, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) published its final rule on of the Quality Payment Program (QPP) creating a flexible system for physicians and other eligible providers to select between two paths connecting quality to payments. This creates a provider payment system more in line with how healthcare is approached today versus 20 years ago. The QPP pathways seek to tie an increased percentage of physicians' Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) payments to outcomes through the new Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and to encourage the adoption of "alternative payment models" (APMs) which will require practices to take on more financial and technological risks. According to the MACRA rules, providers will be able to switch between the MIPS and the APM track on a year-to-year basis.
On September 8, 2016, Acting CMS Administrator Andy Slavitt acknowledged the concerns and trepidation of meeting reporting requirements by announcing 2 additional 2017 data submission options to give providers additional time to submit Quality Payment Program data. With a total of four reporting options, providers can choose to submit data for the entire year, they can submit data for a part of the year, they can submit any data before the end of the year, or they can decline to submit any data during 2017. Each choice will be accompanied by positive or negative payment adjustment.
For more information, please view the AASM's Guide to MACRA and an AASM Introductory Article on MACRA.
The 2017 performance year for the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) of the Quality Payment Program ended on December 31, 2017. Clinicians who started their activities by October 2, 2017 may choose either partial or full participation and submit data though MIPSwizard. The MIPSwizard submission deadline for the 2017 reporting year is March 16, 2018, at 5 p.m. EDT.
MIPS participants who did not start their activities by October 2 are no longer eligible for a positive payment adjustment in 2019. However, MIPS-eligible clinicians can still avoid a 4% penalty by reporting one quality measure for one patient. Clinicians have the option to report on any one quality measure, but the steps below outline the process you need to follow to report any of the four sleep-specific quality measures.
Complete lines 1-20 of the CMS 1500 form as you normally would.
Complete line 21 by entering the appropriate ICD-10 code for the appropriate diagnosis or nature of illness or injury.
Review the numerator quality data coding options and choose the appropriate scenario and associated code. Enter the Quality Data Code (QDC) in 24D along with codes for all other procedures, services or supplies associated with the service.
In 24F, list the charges associated with each code. List a line-item charge of one cent ($0.01) for the QDC entered in 24D. Failure to enter this $0.01 charge may lead your carrier to reject the claim.
Finish entering information in boxes 25-33.
Submit your 1500 form to your Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC). The activity associated with the claim must have been completed by December 31, 2017.

Mineral owners in Oklahoma recently received some good news. As you may recall, this past year a number of Oklahoma cities and towns were seeking to enact local ordinances allowing them to regulate oil and gas operations in their city limits. Several cities, including both Norman and Stillwater, did pass ordinances attempting to regulate the oil and gas operations within its limits.
This past spring, at approximately the same time, the Oklahoma legislature also passed Senate Bill 809, that was codified in Title 52, Section 137.1 of the Oklahoma Statutes (137.1), dealing with the regulatory authority of local municipalities in dealing with oil and gas issues. As you might imagine, questions were raised as to how the newly passed Senate Bill would interact with the newly passed city ordinances.
Three Oklahoma legislators each submitted questions to the Oklahoma Attorney General requesting guidance on the interaction of the SB 809 and the local ordinances. Attorney General Opinion 2015-12 was issued on November 30, 2015 answering these questions and the answers were favorable for mineral owners.
The highlights of the AG's Opinion are that (1) the power of political subdivisions to regulate oil and gas activity is limited to those areas enumerated in 137.1, specifically (a) enacting reasonable ordinances, rules, or regulations concerning road use, traffic, noise , and odors incidental to oil and gas operations and, (b) establishing setbacks and fencing requirements for oil and gas well site locations as are reasonable necessary to protect the health, safety, and welfare of their citizens, but that do not effectively prohibit or ban any oil and gas operations. Setbacks or fencing requirements for oil and gas well site locations that would effectively prohibit certain types of oil and gas drilling within city limits would be invalid.
In addition to these limitations, 137.1 requires regulations of oil and gas activity by political subdivisions to be reasonable. To meet this standard, the local regulation must bear a substantial relation to public health, safety, morals or general welfare of the community.
This opinion bodes well for the oil and gas industry and mineral owners. I anticipate that the matter is not totally settled but at least a good first step has been taken. Oklahoma mineral owners owe a big thank you to Terry Stowers for all his hard work in not only the passage of SB 809 but also his efforts with the legal briefing on the questions presented to the Oklahoma AG's office. It is tireless efforts like Terry's that protects our mineral interests.
I always try to close with a quote that lightens the mood somewhat. In that regard, I point to one of my favorite cowboys, Will Rogers, who once said, "Live in such a way that you would not be ashamed to sell your parrot to the town gossip." That's good advice to carry into the New Year. I wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

As if the Adidas NMD Runner Off White Outlet wasn't hard enough to get your hands on in the first place, the upcoming BAPE x adidas NMD collaboration is sure to be one of the most sought after drops of the year. Now we're getting word that the upcoming collab pairing a streetwear icon with one of the most relevant adidas lifestyle models is coming to retailers in the near future.
Fresh off the release of that pristine all-white Adidas NMD Runner Linen Khaki Online Shopping PK overseas this past weekend, adidas Originals returns with what promises to be one of the most sought after silhouettes this summer with a simple, understated "Core Black" colorway. It isn't that hard to see why the adidas NMD series is thriving. The sleek design sees the perfect combination of Primeknit woven technology and a supremely comfortable Boost-injected bottom while unique three stripe branding accents alternate between different languages ranging from Japanese, German, and more on the midsole and heel tab.
Introducing the shoe of Summer 2016. The Adidas NMD Runner at Wholesale Price Primeknit has managed to captivate quite the audience thanks to its lightweight and comfortable slip-on woven upper, patented Boost cushioning system, and just the right amount of vibrant pops along the unique midsole unit for a truly unique aesthetic. While the NMD series has expanded with the likes of Chukkas and City Socks, there's nothing like an original. The "OG White" colorway almost hits Triple White territory if it weren't for the bright hits of red and royal alongside an array of world language branding on the heel tab in a contrasting black.
adidas Originals is back with a brand new Adidas NMD Runner Clearance Sale in a tonal grey perfect for any occasion. The adidas NMD_R1 has always been on the simple side of the NMD series thanks to the fact that the pair skips out on any trace of Primeknit and instead opts for a traditional slip-on mesh base complete with standard three stripe branding on the side. A rubberized heel matches the Boost outsole in white while classic trefoil branding lingers on the tongue for a classic feature.
Those in the market for the Adidas NMD Runner Black Gum UK Online are going to need to stay alert if they hope to grab a pair, because the shoe seems to keep popping up unannounced at retailers around the US. Just yesterday we saw a surprise launch of two new colorways of the women's NMD R1, and now the same mesh construction for guys in a blue colorway already dropped and sold out at Notre in Chicago.


I suppose that, because this release served as a soundtrack to Scorsese's No Direction Home: Bob Dylan, it was appropriate that it include those moments which played such a big part in the film's narrative. But as a standalone album, it felt like a bit of a cheat.
That said, a couple of rare tracks stand out as exactly the sort of thing the Bootleg Series was meant for. 'Dink's Song' and today's SOTD, 'I Was Young When I Left Home,' were recorded in a friend's Minneapolis apartment (along with 24 other tracks that haven't been officially released).
Here's a glimpse of Dylan between the debut album that failed to set the world on fire and his second album which would do exactly that.
This entry was posted in dylan weekends and tagged Bob Dylan, bootleg, I Was Young When I Left Home, No Direction Home.
well, with 24 more unreleased tracks from that session alone, I suppose the record company will be milking this bootleg series through Volume 20. Frankly, at this point the word "bootleg" needs to be dropped as this series seems to have lost that status many volumes ago.


A minor SpinVox investor says the beleaguered voice-to-text services company is up for sale. Invesco Perpetual says it's cashing out, and it's written down its investment by 90 per cent.
More disappointingly amongst the unquoted investments, since the year end, the Company's holding in SpinVox, the voicemail to text messaging business, was written down in value after the Company chose not to invest in a further funding round, which was dilutive to non-participating investors. The business has been put up for sale, and it is possible that, should a good sales price be achieved, the new valuation may be exceeded.
SpinVox's PR company had not returned a call at press time.
The 'sale' is not a surprise, since the clock has been ticking since the most recent re-financing operation. In that funding round, SpinVox received over £15m in new cash, but the price was high. Tisbury hedge fund representative John Botts has been installed as chairman, and SpinVox must repay a £30m bridging loan to Tisbury by 20 December.
Prospective suitor Nuance is unlikely to be interested, having picked up rival Jott earlier this year.
Invesco adds that it now values its £750,000 stake at £76,000, a 90 per cent reduction. Larger shareholders, including hedge funds GLG and Tisbury, and Toscafund's Martin Hughes, have much more to lose.


"We all know Akshay Kumar is a huge star and a good actor, but I think he is magnificent actor. Most people make lot of fuss about theories of acting, schools of acting and intellectualized cinema, he doesn't do anything that's why he is lot like Muruganatham.
"He just keeps on doing it and he doesn't talk about it. When an actor doing a biopic of a person, it is very tempting for an actor to study his body language and to see how he talks or walks but Akshay didn't look any of that. He just listened to what kind of character and human Murugantham is.
"He captured soul of the character and actually portrayed Muruganatham in Akshay Kumar style, capturing the essence of the character and that very few actors can do.
Most actors are fantastic at capturing body languages of people but he didn't do that."
Bollywood celebrities like Deepika Padukone, Aamir Khan, Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Anushka Sharma among a host of others have accepted the "Pad Man" challenge, in which they have clicked their photographs while holding up on sanitary pad in their hands.
On the industry support to menstruation hygiene from industry people, Balki said: "Actually, they are not trying to promote our film. I think they all got a chance to promote a cause. Our film happens to be about that cause. Nobody is saying 'Pad Man' is coming. People are talking about sanitary pads more openly now. How often Bollywood gets chance to promote a cause unless it's for a film?"
"Pad Man", which released on Friday, is being produced by Twinkle Khanna, KriArj Entertainment and directed by R. Balki.

Manufacturing companies often miss out on claiming R&D credits simply because they don't recognize their work as being innovative, but rather routine. R&D credits are available for manufacturers who are taking steps to improve the manufacturing process by making it more advanced, environmentally friendly, and efficient. Companies performing activities such as process design and development also qualify for R&D. Due to the complexity of the industry, companies that have claimed R&D often leave some credit unclaimed, or aren't reaping the maximum of earned benefits.
National Tax Group will examine your company's processes to determine if it qualifies for the R&D tax credit.

BOTTOM LINE: Karina Casiano's powerful, unusually staged solo show shows how our patriarchal world can be a dangerous, destructive place for women.
In recent years, it has been frequently said that we live in a post-feminist era, and that women have achieved equality, with feminist themed works sometimes dismissed as redundant or unnecessary. However, Karina Casiano's powerful one woman show Womankind proves that the world still can be an unsafe and unfair place for women.
The play opens with Casiano playing an elderly woman, who comes home cackling as she hefts a large explosive device labeled "CAUTION KABOOM." " My entire life has had to be defined by the fact that I have a twat," she laments as she spreads her legs, laughing a laugh tinged with sadness and bitterness. Casiano breaks down the gender roles and stereotypes that have held her back noting that being a woman means liking manicures and "crying on demand." She notes that men are allowed to and expected to be "beasts" and wonders why then are women not given more power. She tells us that she has rigged the seats at the Super Bowl with explosives to destroy the public display of masculinity. Later we are shown a nine-year-old girl (is this the old woman when she was young?) on a playground, happy to find a dollar bill which she spends on an ice cream cone. Her fun, however, is ruined by the creepy men following her and harassing her, so that soon she throws her cone on the ground and runs home. It is at this moment that her childhood innocence ends and the dark cloud of sexuality begins to loom over her.
In one of the most well executed segments in the show Casiano gives a performance as a standup comedian replete with a canned laugh track. She says that the constant depiction of women as sex workers and the objectification of women are like a fart in the air, at first you are disgusted but after awhile you stop noticing it. She notes the sexist nature of our vernacular, asking why do we say "motherfucker" and not "fatherfucker"?
There are a lot of strong, important messages running through Womankind that rang quite true to me. Her segment about a young girl learning to fear men through their lecherous attention resonated with me, in particular. However, Casiano's piece could be stronger if it were further fleshed out and had other parts edited. More real life examples and situations might have made her important message even stronger. Some of the more wacky and unrealistic scenarios (such as the old woman blowing up the Super Bowl stadium) weaken the truth and rawness of the more realistic scenes. While some scenes seemed to detract from the power of the piece, others were deeply memorable, thought-provoking ones that will live in my memory for some time to come, such as Casiano posing as a sex worker living inside a cage. Regardless of its flaws, however, Casiano proves herself to be an incredibly gifted performer adept at singing, acting, dancing, acrobatics, pole dancing, and more. She shows an obvious gift for both comedy as well as dramatic acting. Womankind makes a lot of compelling arguments about how difficult life still is for women in our patriarchal society and is a show even men should see if they want insight into what it means to be a woman in our world today.
(Womankind played at La Mama Theater, 74 East 4th Street, through March 2, 2014. Performances were Friday and Saturday at 10pm and Sunday at 5:30pm. Tickets were available at Lamama.org or by calling 212.475.7710.)

Prabhsukhan Singh Gill (born 2 January 2001) is an Indian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Indian Super League club Kerala Blasters and the India national team.

Club career

Early and youth career
Born in Ludhiana, Punjab, Gill began his career with the Chandigarh Football Academy after a recommendation to scouts by his brother, Gursimrat Singh Gill. He later joined the AIFF Elite Academy after he participated in a trial to be part of the India under-17 side which would take part in the FIFA U-17 World Cup.

After the FIFA U-17 World Cup concluded, Gill was selected to be part of the Indian Arrows, a developmental side owned by the All India Football Federation which was to play in the I-League. He appeared on the bench in the Arrow's first match of the season on 29 November 2017 against Chennai City, being the back-up to Dheeraj Singh Moirangthem. On 2 January 2018, Gill's 17th birthday, he made his professional debut for the Indian Arrows against East Bengal due to Moirangthem leaving the club. He gave up two goals early in the match as Indian Arrows fell 2–0. Arrows Head Coach Luís Norton de Matos was impressed with Gill's performance saying "I think it is a new process for goalkeeper Gill who is 16 years old. He made a fantastic save in the second half. The team needs to protect the goalie."

Bengaluru FC
He was signed by Bengaluru in 2019. He made two appearances for the club which includes a match against Paro FC in the AFC Cup Qualifier.

Kerala Blasters

2021–22 season: Debut season and ISL Golden Glove
On 9 September 2020, Kerala Blasters announced the signing of Gill on a two-year deal. During his first season with the club, Gill did not made any appearances in the Super League as he was used as a back-up keeper for Albino Gomes. He finally made his Blasters debut on 21 September 2021 against Delhi FC in the Durand Cup, which they lost 1–0. He made his league debut on 5 December in the 2–1 victory over Odisha FC, where he was substituted in for Albino Gomes, after Albino was contracted with an injury. Gill then became the first choice keeper for  the Blasters as Albino was ruled out of action for an indefinite period of time. On 12 December, he started for the Blasters in ISL for the first time in the next match against SC East Bengal in a 1–1 draw. Gill kept his first clean-sheet on 19 December against the defending champions Mumbai City FC in a 0–3 victory. He kept a clean-sheet again on 22 December in the next match against rivals Chennaiyin FC, which they won 0–3, repeating the same feat of the previous matchday. Gill had his first clean-sheet of the year 2022 in their match against SC East Bengal on 14 February, which they won with a score of 1–0 at full-time. His performance in the month of February earned him the ISL's 'Emerging Player of the Month' award. Gill was awarded with the Golden Glove of the 2021–22 Indian Super League season. In twenty matches played, he managed to keep seven clean sheets, made 47 saves and conceded 21 goals. This was the best goalkeeping performance by a Kerala Blasters goalkeeper in the last five years.

2022–23 season: Contract extension
After a good individual season, the Kerala Blasters announced that Gill had signed a two-year contract with the club till 2024. On 19 November, Gill kept his 9th clean sheet for the Blasters in a 1–0 away win against Hyderabad FC and surpassed Sandip Nandy to become the all-time highest clean-sheet holder for the club.

International career

While a member of the Chandigarh Football Academy, Gill had a trial with the India under-17 side which was to take part in the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup in India. The trial was successful and Gill joined the team and the AIFF Elite Academy. On 21 September 2017, Gill was announced to be part of the 21-man side that would participate in the FIFA U-17 World Cup. He would be the number 2 goalkeeper for the side, behind Dheeraj Singh Moirangthem, during the U-17 World Cup.

On 26 October 2017, after the FIFA U-17 World Cup, Gill was selected to be part of the India under-20 side for the 2018 AFC U-19 Championship qualifiers. On 6 August 2018, India U20 national team defeated the six time world champions Argentina under-20 by 2–1 where Gill's two saves during the fifty sixth and sixty first minutes was crucial in deciding the match.

In March 2022, Gill was called up for the senior national squad by coach Igor Štimac ahead of India's two friendly matches against Bahrain and Belarus.

His elder brother Gursimrat Singh Gill is also a professional footballer who plays as a defender for ATK Mohun Bagan FC. Both the Gill brothers played together for Bengaluru FC during the 2019-20 season.
