A while ago, my husband had some skin issues. He was suffering from irritant contact dermatitis, which is skin inflammation caused by direct contact with a particular substance. His skin became red with rashes and they were spreading and itching badly. The cause of his skin ailment was traced to the body soap he was using and once he stopped using that, his condition stabilized. However, the itching on his skin did not stop and was particularly worse in the middle of the night. Although he was using a topical cream to help relieve the itch, it wasn't that useful.
I've long passed him a body moisturizer but he has never used it even though his skin is rather dry as he felt that moisturizing his skin was a waste of time. But because his skin condition got worse and he was so desperate, he started to use the moisturizer and voila, the itching stopped.
A moisturizer, as we know it, is designed to make the stratum corneum or outer layer of our skin, softer and more pliant by increasing its hydration. It is a necessity for all skin types, especially those with dry skin. However, moisturizers also impart a temporary barrier to damaged stratum corneum, and it has proven efficacy to accelerate the rate of healing on damaged skin, especially irritant dermatitis (source). In the case for my husband, he used a body moisturizer as often as possible to relieve skin itching, especially right after his bath. I also found out that moisturizers are one of the main treatments for eczema, both to prevent and treat eczema flares.
The choice of the moisturizer is important if you are using it to relieve your skin ailments as some of them may contain irritants or allergens and cause more skin problems. Those mark as hypoallergenic tend to be more suitable; so are those which do not contain mineral oil, petrolateum, alcohol or fragrances. Â My husband used one of my naturally formulated body moisturizers containing olive oil without too many chemical additives and it worked nicely for him.
So the next time you have itchy skin, consider using a moisturizer to relieve the itch.
I was told as a person ages, their skin becomes drier. The air-conditioning we come into contact with daily worsen the condition. Besides applying lotion, a moisturising shower gel or cream can also help to relieve your dry skin.
It's true. The hormones will affect and the skin becomes dry over time.
I had just purchased a bottle of Olive Oil from Muji. I am using it on my body to replaced my drugstore brand of body lotion. I noticed I do not get back pimples & minor skin rashes which I usually do if the product is not natural or organic. However, it costs me SGD16 for 100ml.
The purer the content, the better for our skin. I would think those that gave you pimples probably contains some pore clogging ingredients. $16 is not too bad but it's not a big bottle though.
The one prescribed to my husband is Gentriderm. It helped to reduce the rashes but not the itch totally.
May I know what product did your husband use that works? My good friend has a similar recurring problem and I would like to get her a tube to try out.
SkinMD Natural is a good brand for those with skin issues. Tried their products long time ago and it was quite good. Glad it's available in our pharmacies too. La Mer is too expensive! But Creme de la mer is great for the face…I remember my skin glowing with radiance using it.
A really tip. I usually use the anti-ich cream from Clinique, but that can get pricey. Nice to know moisturizers can work the same way. Less dents on your wallet.
Select those that contain less chemical irritants…or marked for sensitive skin. They should work well.
I do recommend Sukin's Aloe Vera Gel(Organic Australian Skincare – Watson/Guardian). It has a soothing/calming effect on irritated skin. It works for me when my 'feng mo' attacks.
Oh that's a great recommendation! Sukin's is affordable!
I have sensitive skin and I always use emu oil from nature farm to soothe my rashes. it works great! Also try not to use chemical soaps. I order natural emu soaps online but its a tad costly..
Apart from Jayeon Miyin, I don't know about other soap making classes.
Hi! Recently my husband's skin issue got worse. His hands have been dry and his skin has been flaky, hard and peeling. Now it's so bad that it split! Do u think Gentriderm will work for him? Thanks!
Hmm…not sure…best is to ask the pharmacist. But Skin MD Natural might help. I understand it works for such problem skin.
I recently had a horrible allergic reaction to birth control which triggered my eczema. I had a rash on my face, and body for almost two months until i finally got medicine from a dermatologist. It hurt so bad going outside and sweating a little made my skin sting. Sadly natural things didn't help a whole lot it was so bad (except ice cream and ice packs).
Although I find that when my skin is itchy and not under attack from dust, and etc, oatmeal and goats milk based soaps and moisturizers work and calm it down. Seaweed as well.
Heat will aggravate it, cold compresses work looooovely. It'll make you scratch less. Try to cut down on consumption of dairy cause that can cause itchiness too. When my face broke out the only thing that kept it under control from rashes and bumps was vitamin e, then it just became flaky and much less painful. Breaking some capsules and putting it on the area might help.

November 22, 2019 November 22, 2019 TAAG Admin Input, News
Re: Allocation of New Buses – PS-2019-23
Overall, the Transit Action Alliance of Guelph (TAAG) is in support of the decision by Guelph Transit to allocate the five new buses toward areas that have rising needs and demands as opposed to allocating all of them toward the low ridership, coverage based community bus route. You can see the full report here.
Stabilization of the 99 Mainline
We are especially in support of the plan to partially stabilize the high frequent 99 Mainline route with an additional bus during peak University of Guelph times. However, we would have preferred Option #1, which would benefit all transit riders throughout the day.
As indicated in the report, these options will not fully stabilize the 99 Mainline, but would alleviate schedule issues during the most congested periods of time. We highly recommend that fully stabilizing Route 99 Mainline should be made a top priority for Guelph Transit.
As the anchor route for the entire system, it must become more reliable and predictable for all riders. We recommend and encourage the City and Guelph Transit utilize all tools available to them beyond what is already being planned such as:
implementing transit priority measures along Gordon Street;
adding additional frequency during peak times and;
reviewing the bus stop spacing to eliminate bottlenecks such as along lower Gordon Street at Water Street
As this is Guelph's premiere high frequency ridership route, it is of great importance that this route be fully stabilized and operate on time everytime. Route 99 Mainline generates revenue for the city through the Gas Tax as well as helps the city in achieving its climate reduction goals. We recommend that an action plan on fully stabilizing Route 99 Mainline be developed and presented to Council as part of the 2021 budget considerations.
Spare Buses
The two spare buses are very important within our transit operation and we are in total agreement with Spare Bus Ratio option being presented in the report.
Service to Hanlon Creek Business Park
We believe that it is important that access be provided to all areas of our city. While we are pleased to see expansion into the Hanlon Creek Business Park, a move we fully support, we do have several concerns, questions, and suggestions that we would like City Council and City Staff to answer and consider.
In the report to council, there are 3 different financial numbers being presented regarding Route 19 by staff and the consultant. Which is the correct number being proposed to Council for budget consideration?
To help Council and the Public to better understand the proposed costs, we recommend that we all see a full breakdown of the proposed costs and what they are being allocated toward. i.e. how much for drivers, how much for fuel etc.
When proposed route options are presented, any other routes that exist nearby should be shown on the proposed route map. Routes options should not be seen in isolation. Any connections to other existing routes should be highlighted and we should not have to look up route maps to see that another route option is 500 meters away from a proposed route.
We understand that some Councillors have concerns about this proposed route due to high operating costs and low ridership revenue recovery. TAAG believes that the report is under estimating the potential ridership numbers and that the costs to operate the route need to be clarified as we believe they may be higher than necessary. Placing Transit in the Business Park will not only help gain new businesses, but also higher ridership much faster, offsetting these concerns.
We also understand that some Councillors are proposing to Staff to extend the 16 Southgate toward the Hanlon Creek Business Park. This will only make the route longer, more complicated, and become unattractive to those who use the route now and any potential new users.
As we presented to the community at our recent Transit Summit and Town Hall, Transit Riders have 7 demands:
It takes me where I want to go
It takes me when I want to go
It is good use of my time
It is good use of my money
It respects me by providing safety, comfort, and amenities
I can trust it
It gives me freedom to change my plans
A proposal to extend the 16 Southgate would not be a good use of time for riders, as the route would create even longer travel times from across the entire city versus driving. This is already a problem for Route 16 Southgate (and even the proposed Route 19 Hanlon Creek.)
A fair amount of people who work in the Southgate area and the Hanlon Creek Business Park do not live on the south side of Guelph but reside in the West, East, and North ends of our city where transit travel times are slow and complicated due to poor routes, bad connections, and low frequency. It does not take them where they want to go, or when they need to go. It is not good use of their time or money when driving down the Hanlon could save them both. People want to bypass the 99 Mainline South due to the longer travel times and congestion and be able to travel from the West and East sides of the city without having to transfer downtown.
Our suggestion is instead of leaving gaps in our service by creating this specific route or by extending the 16 Southgate, that we build a better connection to Route 7 (north of Hanlon Creek Business Park) and connect it to Hanlon Creek. Another suggestion that would be a more efficient use of time and money for riders would be creating a route that runs from the Stone Road Mall hub (allowing transfers to all parts of the city) running behind the YMCA toward Hanlon Creek Business Park before meeting at Clair and Gordon which would connect to the 99 Mainline would be a more efficient route for ridership, revenue, and time. This routing would service a mix of residential and commercial areas and provide alternative routes for people in these neighbourhoods to work, shop, and play.
We agree in principle with the new community route adjustments and the addition of another bus. Re-branding the route as a regular route is a step in the right direction to gaining additional ridership and visibility.
The current proposed operating times do extend access to more days of the week, however, it does not provided enough frequency or service hours to draw a substantial increase in ridership.
Expanding the weekday service hours to a 12 hour day, from 7 am to 7 pm, would make the route more attractive and accessible to more riders as would an increase in the frequency. The design of the route is complex and not easily accessible to everyone. We believe this route must be looked at in the broader Transit Strategic Plan for more efficient and affordable route design options.
The Path Forward
As we look ahead toward the Guelph Transit Strategic Plan, we want Council and Guelph Transit to recognize that these proposed changes may need to be adjusted or even scrapped as it may not be what the Community of Council sees as the Vision for Transit in our city.
As mentioned on Page 22 of the Transit Business Service Review, our city will need to determine the goal of our transit system through a comprehensive route review and ridership demand analysis to identify future network structure options, with routes and service frequencies. According to Guelph Transit's work plan, this will occur in 2020 and 2021.
Instead of focusing on individual routes, what can drastically alter the discourse of public transit in Guelph is talking about trade-offs. Good transit planning is always about understanding and accepting that there are trade-offs.
Before discussing which route goes where, what we first should be focusing on is how much of the limited resources do we want dedicated to doing one thing over another. We made this presentation at our recent Transit Summit and Town Hall and are willing to meet with Councillors who could not attend to go through it.
While we are supportive of the business cases and forecasts for increasing the frequency on Route 8 and Route 20 and adding service to cover the Hanlon Creek Business Park, we feel it is important that we establish the principles and identify the pillars to shaping the future transit network first by having the conversation on trade-offs and setting the vision for transit before some of these recommendations are considered or fully implemented.

We will have a response to the proposed 2020 Operating Budget once this is dealt with by City Council on Monday.

AFSCME Local 3299 unsatisfied with UC Board of Regents' new policy
By Anush Arvind
News, UC
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 3299 went on strike Wednesday in protest to outsourcing practices by the University of California. On Thursday, the UC passed a policy to reduce the number of low-wage, outsourced contract workers it employs. (Tanmay Shankar/Assistant Photo editor)
The University of California promised to reduce the number of low-wage, outsourced contract workers it employs in a policy adopted Thursday. The UC's largest employee union remains unsatisfied.
"A 'policy' isn't worth the paper it's printed on unless it is actually enforced," read a statement issued the same day by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 3299.
AFSCME Local 3299 represents over 25,000 University employees, including service workers and patient care technicians.
The UC Board of Regents passed the new policy at its meeting at UC San Francisco a day after AFSCME Local 3299 held a strike to protest what it called the "unfair, unsafe and often illegal" practices the UC engaged in while outsourcing jobs.
UC President Janet Napolitano said in the regent's meeting Wednesday that the proposed policy limits job outsourcing and fully adheres to California's state laws and policies on the practice.
"The policy significantly limits the use of outside service contracts to specific, identified circumstances that are fully aligned with the state's requirements and the California government code," she said.
Further, in the case that a full-time employee of the UC is displaced by a temporary worker, the policy mandates that the employee be offered a comparable position within a 10-mile radius of their original job, Napolitano said.
AFSCME Local 3299 claims the University's history with unions makes it clear that the only reliable steps the UC can take to limit outsourcing would have to be through legally binding contracts or state legislation. The University policy passed by the regents would not be legally binding.
The statement claims that in the past, the UC has failed to adhere to its own policies, including its much-celebrated $15 minimum wage policy. An investigation of the UC's 2017 internal audit by California-based Mercury News revealed that at least some workers continue to make less than the policy's minimum wage.
"The (UC) has yet to offer a meaningful contract proposal on outsourcing, and no bargaining dates are currently scheduled," the AFSCME Local 3299 statement read.
The Wednesday strike was the sixth in two years AFSCME Local 3299 has held. Its fifth strike was held in April over the alleged intimidation of union members who previously went on strike.

LA City Council recently voted to reinstate limitations regarding homeless LA drivers living in their cars. These regulations will run until January, and states that they are prohibited from spending the night in their cars on residential streets, or live in their vehicles at any time within a block of a park, school, preschool or daycare facility. What are your thoughts on this? Reinstating these limitations could cause more issues than it could fix. Homeless drivers that use their cars as a home are not the root problem the LA City Council should be focused on addressing. It was a good idea to reinstate these limitations, since homeless drivers could possibly become intrusive and pose a threat to residential areas and places where children are most present. These limitations are neither good or bad, and does not affect me as a student because I am not homeless, nor am I living in my car. I have feelings about this that are not described in the options above. Submit View results without voting »

Part of the feedback that we had had from data protection authorities was that we had too many privacy policies. It turned out that we had over 70 covering our different products. Each of those privacy policies was accurate, it gave users really useful information, but the fact that there were so many of them probably didn't help the average user understand exactly what those privacy policies were intended to do.

Phoenix to vote on allocating $51.1M emergency rental assistance grant
By Ty Brennan
FOX 10 Phoenix
Phoenix City Council to vote on emergency rental assistance
FOX 10's Ty Brennan reports.
PHOENIX - Phoenix residents struggling to pay rent amid the pandemic could soon be receiving more financial help from the city.
In January, the city received a $51.1 million emergency rental assistance grant from the federal government. On Feb. 9, Phoenix City Council will vote on how to spend the funds.
In order to receive the funding, the city had to allocate the last of the $293.3 million it had in federal funding last year and wait several weeks after the deadline at the end of last year to learn if they would be given the new grant.
The city of Phoenix then had to come up with a plan on how to spend within the grant's strict guidelines.
Some of the money is earmarked to go to hiring and training new city staff to distribute the money throughout the year, which will help residents with rent and utility payments.
All the money needs to be spent by the end of the year, with at least 65% of those funds spent by the end of September. Otherwise, the money will be sent back to the U.S. Treasury.
The funds will go to people based on income or if residents have been on unemployment for at least 90 days.
Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego says these funds will provide much needed support and a lifeline to residents as the city continues to fight through this crisis.
The meeting begins at 2:30 PM on Feb. 9.

Apple might lower the MacBook Air's price this year
Will it be worth our money?
For all their grandeur in the smartphone industry, Apple has stumbled in the notebook market. Overtaken by other tech giants, the MacBook last enjoyed a big announcement way back in 2016.
Finally, a new Mac rumor hints that Apple isn't done with the MacBook just yet. According to known Apple leaker Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple might release a more affordable MacBook Air later this year.
The analyst notes that an updated MacBook Air will launch sometime in spring. However, the report doesn't indicate if the new model will carry significant upgrades from its current version.
Apple last updated the MacBook Air in the latter half of 2017. Even then, the update only slightly improved the notebook's specs. The aging Air still barely competes with the latest crop of starting notebook models. Currently, the starting MacBook Air retails for US$ 999.
As of late last year, Apple still hangs around at the top of the notebook market in terms of sales. A new update should breathe some much-needed life back into the MacBook business. At the very least, it will generate enough hype for when Apple decides on a major redesign for the MacBook. The last revamp, which includes the touch bar, opened to controversial reception.
If it launches within the next quarter, the new MacBook Air will likely appear in the rumored Apple event in March. As yet, the unconfirmed event hosts a plethora of rumors including a new iPhone SE, iPad, and AirPods.

Up your business game with these new devices
Gab Orlina
Business professionals have to stay on top of their game while at work. Whether it's in the office or in coffee shops, a professional's business skills has to be coupled with a performance-driving machine. For Lenovo, their next generation ThinkPad and ThinkVision devices hope to provide the level of efficiency and portability for modern-day businesses.
Lenovo Philippines launched five new ThinkPad devices for the Philippine business market. The next generation ThinkPad brings the company's longstanding premium features and performance.
The new Lenovo T490 spearheads the lineup, with an 8th-gen Intel processor and an optional NVIDIA MX250 graphics card. This device also has a high memory capacity that expands up to 48GB of RAM to couple with a solid state drive up to 512GB.
All other ThinkPad devices contain features on portability and enhanced performance. The Lenovo X390 is a lightweight device packed with a battery that lasts for 18 hours and charges fast through its Rapid Charge feature.
Meanwhile, the Lenovo L390 features a 13.3-inch touchscreen display for a more interactive experience with complex data sets. Finally, the entry level Lenovo E490 and E490s feature performance boosting features like Intel Optane memory and an optional AMD Radeon 540X graphics card.
New ThinkVision displays
Lenovo did not stop there as they've also announced their new ThinkVision displays in the ThinkVision M14 and S24e-10. The Lenovo ThinkVision M14 is a portable monitor that will serve as a secondary display on the go. The Lenovo ThinkVision S24e-10, meanwhile is 1080p FHD display that will deliver clear, crisp image quality fit for business presentations.
The new Lenovo ThinkPads start at PhP 43,990 (US$ 864), with the Lenovo 7490 starting at PhP 73,990 (US$ 1453). Meanwhile, the Lenovo ThinkVision displays start at PhP 8,990 (US$ 177) for the ThinkVision S24e-10 and PhP 13,990 (US$ 275) for the ThinkVision M14.
Apple discontinues the 12-inch Macbook and 2017 Macbook Air
Both models are gone from Apple's online store
Kenrick Buduan
Apple is discontinuing the 12-inch Macbook which was announced and sold by Apple four years ago. The company is also killing off the 2017 Macbook Air.
The 12-inch Macbook was introduced in 2015. The controversial and highly-divisive laptop features a 12-inch Retina display, an Intel Y-series processor, and a single USB-C port. Meanwhile, the 2017 Macbook Air was a refresh of the second-generation Macbook Air featuring a 13-inch non-Retina display, an Intel 5th-generation processor, and USB-A ports with a MagSafe connector.
As it stands, both the 12-inch Macbook and 2017 Macbook Air are not available anymore at Apple's online store. The move by Apple follows its recent revamping of its Macbook lineup. Following the recent revamp, both the third-generation Macbook Air and Macbook Pro receive substantial updates and lower price tags.
Starting today, only the third-generation Macbook Air and the Macbook Pro is available to purchase from the online store. However, Apple authorized resellers and physical stores might still sell the discontinued products until their supplies last.
SEE ALSO: MacBook Air and MacBook Pro get updates
There's a back-to-school promo!
Rodneil Quiteles
Apple's latest updates on its MacBooks stream lines their laptop line which may have appeared confusing for a time. The 12-inch MacBook is now officially dead and refreshes to both the MacBook Pro base model as well as the MacBook Air creates a clearer distinction between the notebooks.
The Touch Bar Line
Beginning with this refresh all MacBook Pros will now feature a Touch Bar as well as Touch ID. These were only previously available to Apple's higher end MacBook Pro models. The new entry-level MacBook Pro now offers a 1.4GHz quad-core 8th Gen Core i5 chip (upgradeable up to 3.9GHz) from Intel's Coffee Lake lineup.
If you're yearning for more ports, you'll be disappointed as this model will continue to have only two USB-C ports instead of four that's found on the 13-inch MacBook Pro.
MacBook Air's new display
Apple has also updated the MacBook Air adding the True Tone display technology to keep it in line the company's other devices. The tech automatically adjusts the display's colors based on ambient light to achieve more natural colors. The specs remain the same meaning the MacBook Air will continue to be powered by Intel's dual-core 8th Gen i5.
Student Promos
Both devices are part of Apple's back-to-school promotion that can be availed by higher education students, their parents, faculty, staff and home-school teachers through the Apple Education Store. The promotion includes a pair of qualifying Beats headphones with the purchase of any eligible Mac or iPad, as well as education discounts on qualifying Mac, iPad, AppleCare, select accessories and services.
As part of the promo, the MacBook Air will start at US$ 999 and SG$1,449 in Singapore. Meanwhile, the base model MacBook Pro will start at
$1,199 in the US while it's priced at SG$ 1,749 in Singapore.

75 Years of The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd: 1944 – Today
On a rare snowy Austin evening in 1944, The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd was founded with the faith, love, and hope of 59 people gathered in a vacant section of a shopping center across the street from our current Windsor campus. Since then, thousands have followed in their footsteps: worshiping, serving, studying, and finding love in Christ through Good Shepherd.
The physical foundation for this community of faith began with the completion of the original Parish Hall in 1945, the church building in 1950, and the Good Shepherd Episcopal School building in 1955. From early traditions – the festival of lights, Friday night dances, youth ringing the church bell, the Christmas Bazaar – to newer ones – daily Lenten worship, the Giving Tree, crawfish boils, Shepherd bags to entertain little ones – the Windsor campus echoes with 75 years of faithful memories.
The successful Build the Beloved Community campaign of 2013-2016 was a landmark in the life of Good Shepherd. Described in detail later in this profile, the BBC came along at a critical juncture: The Windsor congregation was vibrant and growing, but grappling with declining infrastructure. Today, the parish enjoys a modernized Education Center, the flexible Parish Life Center, and a much-improved church building, while Good Shepherd Episcopal School provides an excellent early childhood education in equally excellent facilities – sometimes welcoming second- and even third-generation GSES students to their classrooms.
The BBC campaign would also build a metaphorical bridge across Austin to the Woodland campus, laying the foundation for what would become our second campus, The Hill, in 2016. Three years later, Hillside Early Childhood Center would open its doors to those needing full-time, high-quality early childhood education. The genesis of The Hill and HECC has been a defining and exciting moment in the history of our parish, offering opportunities for service and growth and challenging our parish to reach beyond the Tarrytown campus both physically and in spirit.
The rich history of Good Shepherd invites its parishioners to share in traditions built over the past 75 years and to create their own. We receive communion on kneelers needlepointed by parishioners decades ago; we worship at the altar hand-built by our current facilities manager only recently. While the congregation has experienced seasons of joy and seasons of sorrow, our commitment to an honest and heartfelt faith continues to carry our community forward. As we begin the search for our sixth rector, we seek to engage the best of the past, current, and future iterations of Good Shepherd in our shared walk with Christ.

Таанах — стародавнє місто в Ханаані. Нині на його місці розташовано арабське поселення Тель-Таанек у Самарії на півночі Палестинської автономії, на південних схилах Ізреельської долини.

Історія
Археологічні знахідки свідчать про виникнення першого поселення на території Таанаха вже у середині III тисячоліття до н. е. У XV столітті до н. е. місто завоював єгипетський фараон Тутмос III. У XII столітті до н. е. біля Таанаха ізраїльські племена розгромили ханаанців. За царя Соломона місто стало окружним центром Ізраїльсько-юдейського царства. 925 року до н. е. Таанах захопив і розграбував фараон Шешонк I. Місто остаточно занепало після навали на Юдею вавилонського царя Навуходоносора II.

Розкопки у Таанасі проводили німецький археолог Зеллін у 1902–1903 роках й американець Лепп 1963 року. Були знайдені клинописні таблички з текстами, подібними до знахідок в Тель ель-Амарні.

Lyric Opera of Chicago
Lyric Opera of Chicago is one of the leading opera companies in the United States. It was founded in Chicago in 1954, under the name 'Lyric Theatre of Chicago' by Carol Fox, Nicola Rescigno and Lawrence Kelly, with a season that included Maria Callas's American debut in Norma. The company was re-organized by Fox in 1956 under its present name and, after her 1981 departure, it has continued to be of one of the major opera companies in the United States. The Lyric is housed in a theater and related spaces in the Civic Opera Building. These spaces are now owned by the Lyric.
"Lyric Opera" redirects here. For other uses, see Lyric Opera (disambiguation).
Opera in Chicago 1850–1954
The first opera to be performed in Chicago was Bellini's La sonnambula, presented by a traveling opera company on 29 July 1850.[1] Chicago's first opera house opened in 1865 but was destroyed in the Great Fire of Chicago in 1871. The second opera house, the Chicago Auditorium, opened in 1889.[2]
In 1929 the current Civic Opera House on 20 North Wacker Drive was opened, though the Chicago Civic Opera Company itself collapsed in the Great Depression. The old Auditorium continued to produce stage shows and musicals until it closed in 1941.[3]
Resident opera companies began in Chicago in 1910 with the Chicago Grand Opera Company being formed from the remains of the Manhattan Opera Company, which had been founded by Oscar Hammerstein I, and had been squeezed out by the more financially sound Metropolitan Opera. Chicago had this first company for four seasons, then, after no season in 1914/15, it was re-formed as the Chicago Opera Association. This lasted through 1921/22, when it became the Chicago Civic Opera from 1922 until 1932. After no season in 1932/33, the company was re-formed and again named the Chicago Grand Opera Company from 1933 to 1935. From 1936 to 1939, the company was called Chicago City Opera Company, and finally from 1940 to 1946 opera was presented by the Chicago Opera Company. There were no seasons from 1947 until 1953, so opera was presented by other companies on tour. Lyric Opera was formed in 1954 and has continued uninterrupted except for 1967.
Lyric Opera, 1954 to 1980
Carol Fox, America's first female opera impresario at the age of 28, began her first season in 1954 by bringing Maria Callas for her American debut in the title role of Norma, the first of many electrifying Callas performances in Chicago. However, this first eight-opera season in 1954 was not the result of a long apprenticeship in opera production; Carol Fox, fluent in Italian and French, had studied opera singing for many years, culminating in two years of intensive work in Italy. However, when she realized that performance was not to be in her future, she decided that it lay in bringing the performances of the world's finest artists to her home town of Chicago. Her success can be measured in one statistic regarding the filling of the Lyric's Civic Opera House: in 1954, the season ran for three weeks; in 2007/08 the Lyric had an almost six-month season.
Fox also used her formidable persuasive powers on artists other than singers: she was able to bring Rudolph Nureyev to make his debut on an American opera stage at the Lyric; Vera Zorina, Alicia Markova, Erik Bruhn and Maria Tallchief also danced at the Lyric, and George Balanchine created choreography for the Lyric. The Italian composer Pino Donati was her artistic director. Bruno Bartoletti was principal conductor, but other conductors included Tullio Serafin, Dimitri Mitropoulos and Artur Rodziński. Christoph von Dohnányi and Sir Georg Solti chose the Lyric for their American operatic debuts. Franco Zeffirelli staged operas as did Harold Prince.
Because of her illnesses and her refusal to lower her artistic standards despite the Lyric's dire financial state in 1980, her resignation was sought and given. Carol Fox died a few months later, survived by a daughter Victoria.
It was of the Lyric's founder that Saul Bellow wrote in 1979 "Miss Fox will be remembered, together with Jane Addams of Hull House and Harriet Monroe of Poetry magazine, as one of Chicago's greatest women."[4]
Throughout the many years at the Lyric, Carol Fox developed the confidence and authority to bring world-famous artists to the Lyric: Luciano Pavarotti (56 performances in 7 roles), Tito Gobbi, Eleanor Steber, Jussi Björling, Birgit Nilsson, Renata Tebaldi, Giuseppe Di Stefano, Giulietta Simionato, Richard Tucker, Boris Christoff, Eileen Farrell, Dorothy Kirsten, Leonie Rysanek, Leontyne Price, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Geraint Evans, Mirella Freni, Nicolai Ghiaurov, Alfredo Kraus, Renata Scotto, Robert Merrill, Joan Sutherland, Christa Ludwig, Jon Vickers, Marilyn Horne, Grace Bumbry, Montserrat Caballé, Tatiana Troyanos, Sherrill Milnes, Plácido Domingo, Felicia Weathers and José Carreras. Anna Moffo also chose the Lyric for her American debut.
Later administrations
Carol Fox was succeeded at the Lyric by her longtime assistant manager, Ardis Krainik (1981–1996), after whom the opera house was named, and then by William Mason (1997–2011). Anthony Freud took over in October 2011.
From 1964 to 1974, Bruno Bartoletti, served as co-artistic director and principal conductor, and became sole director and principal from 1974 to 2000.[5] Sir Andrew Davis is Lyric's music director and principal conductor, a post he has occupied since in September 2000. He led three complete cycles of Der Ring des Nibelungen in the 2004/05 season to mark the company's 50th anniversary. Davis plans to retire at the end of the 2020-2021 season, and Enrique Mazzola has been named as the new music director and principal conductor.[5]
Danny Newman was the company's long-time press agent from 1954 until his retirement in the 2001/02 season; Newman is largely credited as the founder of subscription-based arts marketing, the standard economic model for not-for-profit arts organizations in the US.[6] Philip David Morehead was head of music staff until his retirement in 2015.
In addition to the standard operatic repertoire, Lyric also presents contemporary works. Recent productions have included Harbison's The Great Gatsby (2000–2001), Weill's Street Scene (2001–2002), Floyd's Susannah, Sondheim's Sweeney Todd (2002–2003), and John Adams' Doctor Atomic directed by Peter Sellars.
Composer William Bolcom wrote his most recent opera for Lyric, A Wedding, based on the 1978 film of the same name directed by Robert Altman. It premiered during Lyric's 50th-anniversary season. During the 2015/16 season, the company premiered its latest commission, Bel Canto by Peruvian composer Jimmy López with a libretto by Nilo Cruz based on the novel by Ann Patchett.
The Lyric Opera productions were broadcast and nationally syndicated by WFMT Radio Network, from 1971 until 2001. The broadcasts ceased then because of a loss of sponsorship [7]. The issue was resolved at the 11th hour for the October 21, 2006 premiere of Richard Strauss's opera Salome starring Deborah Voigt. Syndicated broadcast of the Lyric Opera resumed in May 2007 on the WFMT network, which was included on XM Satellite Radio before it merged and became SiriusXM Radio.
For details, see Civic Opera House
The company's permanent home is the Civic Opera House, a building which it rented from 1954 until after the 1993 renovations. It is a 1929 structure with an Art Deco interior. Its 3,563-seat capacity makes it the second-largest opera auditorium in North America after the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City. The interior was named The Ardis Krainik Theatre in 1996 in honor of Ardis Krainik, the former General Director, who was responsible for its renovation from 1993 onwards.
Joffrey Ballet
In 2017, Lyric Opera of Chicago as house manager of the theater announced that the Joffrey Ballet plans to move from its longtime performance venue at the Auditorium Theatre to the opera house in 2020.[8] The announcement coincided with the Lyric's presentation of a new production of Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice by choreographer John Neumeier; the production fused the musical and ballet elements of the opera and featured the Joffrey Ballet.[9]
The Patrick G. and Shirley W. Ryan Opera Center
The Patrick G. and Shirley W. Ryan Opera Center (formerly Lyric Opera Center for American Artists, 1981–2006), established in 1974 by Carol Fox, is the professional artist-development program for Lyric Opera of Chicago.
The Ryan Opera Center is considered one of the most prestigious vocal programs in America,[10] and has produced notable singers, including:
Harolyn Blackwell
Nicole Cabell
Mark S. Doss
Elizabeth Futral
Joseph Kaiser
Gary Lehman
Emily Magee
Susanna Phillips
Matthew Polenzani
Guang Yang
Approximately a dozen young singers are selected from the near 400 who audition annually,[11] and they are in residence for twelve months. Over the course of the year they receive advanced instruction in numerous aspects of operatic performance, including voice lessons and coachings, language and acting training, and master classes with some of opera's most renowned artists. The singers gain valuable performing experience by participating in recitals and concerts at many Chicago-area venues. During Lyric Opera's mainstage season, they perform and understudy roles at all levels. The singers work with the world's greatest opera singers, conductors, and directors, thus advancing the young artists' professionalism. In 2005, author William Murray wrote a book about a year in the life of an entering class at the Ryan Opera Center.[12]
Andrew Foldi was Director of the Ryan Opera Center from 1991 to 1995. He was succeeded by Richard Pearlman, who was Director of the program from 1995 until his death in 2006. Renowned soprano Gianna Rolandi, who had been the Ryan Opera Center's Director of Vocal Studies and principal instructor since 2002, was appointed Director of the program in 2006.[13] The program is now administered by Dan Novak, Director; Craig Terry, Music Director; Julia Faulkner, Director of Vocal Studies, and Renée Fleming, Advisor.

Certification Brouhaha at SHRM Orlando
By HR Daily Advisor Staff Jul 9, 2014 Benefits and Compensation
Updated: Jul 9, 2014
Speaking about the other entity, SHRM and HRCI both said to HRDA, "Their interpretation of 'partnership' Is not the same as ours."
SHRM found HRCI intransigent on the issue of adding competencies to the certification process. HRCI says that SHRM defines "partnership" as controlling and their position threatened HRCI's independence, which they believe is necessary to maintain the integrity of the certification process.
HRCI-certified attendees, who can add the HRM certification at no cost, are wondering just how many initials they'll want after their names. Those interested in becoming certified are wondering which way to go. Providers of test preparation products were taken by surprise.
HRCI has moved out of the SHRM building to temporary quarters.
The questions and issues and comments below were obtained at presentations by SHRM and HRCI and interviews with representatives of both organizations.
Compensation.BLR.com, now thoroughly revved with easier navigation and more complete compensation information, will tell you what's being paid right in your state–or even metropolitan area–for hundreds of jobs. Try it at no cost and get a complimentary special report. Read More.
Was HRCI disinvited from the convention as they claim?
Not exactly, it appears. SHRM says they withdrew at their choice, but admits that the fact that SHRM, because of the severance of the affiliation agreement, was not going to provide HRCI with their usual level of assistance (free admittance for staff and presence for the association, for example) may have influenced the decision.
Doesn't this weaken the prestige of certification?
HRCI-certified attendees are concerned that expanded access will weaken the importance and prestige attached to certification. SHRM responds that the test will not be easier.
Is it for the money?
Many attendees believe that the new credentials are just a means of creating dollars for SHRM. SHRM responds that the program will be operated on a cost basis and is not intended to generate a profit.
Why did you pick WalMart, not known for progressive HR policies and practices?
Attendees were concerned that WalMart was selected as one of eight firms SHRM used in creating its new certification. SHRM notes that WalMart is the largest employer in the United States and that means it's an appropriate representative of a large swath of the national workforce.
>What's an example of a SHRM competencies question?
Situation: Two colleagues are in conflict. HR should intervene by:
A. Improving communication and working to ID the core conflict
B. Providing feedback and sending the two employees to separate corners.
C. Hoping things get better
D. Taking everyone for pizza
A is the best answer and would garner 2 points. B is a second best answer and would glean 1 point.
Is it true that HRCI has been a major supporter of the SHRM foundation?
SHRM responds that it has been the largest supporter, providing office space and other support, but it is true that HRCI has been a major supporter at about $1 million a year. SHRM hopes HRCI will continue to contribute, but won't be surprised if they do not.
Is the new certification body, a division of SHRM, adequately "firewalled" from the organization?
Many have expressed concern that the new setup will not provide the requisite arm's length relationship between test makers and test preparers. SHRM asserts that it is following all the rules of the two main bodies that certify certifying organizations. In addition, it has hired expert outside consultants to oversee the development to make sure the standards are maintained. Having a separate division will provide an adequate firewall, SHRM says.
Try BLR's all-in-one compensation website, Compensation.BLR.com®, and get a complimentary special report, Top 100 FLSA Overtime Q&As, no matter what you decide. Find out more.
But what about the fact that Alex Alonso, a SHRM executive, says he will be the "architect" of the new test?
SHRM says that Alonso has been involved in the development of the competency model. He will not be involved in the preparation of prep materials. His role is to make sure that the test mirrors the competencies.
Do competencies really need to be added to the certification?
SHRM clearly believes that they are not part of the current certifications. HRCI says, "SHRM talks as though the word competencies has never been used before. In fact, competencies are 'baked into everything HR does just like they are baked into the HRCI exam.'"
Will HRCI use SHRM's competency model?
In looking at competencies, HRCI will look into all models. SHRM's model is OK, they admit, but HRCI will look at a wider variety of options.
Which certification will prevail?
SHRM says that it intends that its new certifications will be the new standard for HR certification. HRCI says that 140,000 certified professionals value their certifications and that "we are the gold standard and will be for a long time."
Is there any possibility of reconciliation?
Both sides say, "Sure."

Building The Arsenal: Now, Summer 2019 & the Future - Forwards
Examining Arsenal's striker position.
By Nathan Reynolds@Nathan_RVA Jun 10, 2019, 8:15am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Building The Arsenal: Now, Summer 2019 & the Future - Forwards
Welcome to the seventh and final position review of the 'Building The Arsenal' series, taking a look at the current depth chart and contract situations for each of the players at a particular position. I'll attempt to project each player's individual future, and the club's objectives during this summer transfer window this summer. In this final piece, I'll look at the striker situation at Arsenal.
Previously: Goalkeeper | Right Back | Left Back | Center Back | Center Midfielder | Attacking Midfielder
There are a lot of effective types of forwards out there: poachers, pacy strikers who prefer to play into space, guys who hold up play, aerial targets. While all can be useful, you only get the best of out of them if they are playing in the right system. After a season with Unai Emery, it isn't clear what his system is, or specifically what he wants from his strikers and how he is trying to build a formation leading up to that attack. Let's dive into the depth chart this season, where things stand right now, and what we might see this summer in the transfer window.
Depth Chart (2018/19 Season)
Starters: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (29 years old, £67.5 million) & Alexandre Lacazette (28 years old, £58.5 million)
Backups: Danny Welbeck (28 years old, £13.5 million) & Eddie Nketiah (20 years old, N/A)
Future Prospects/Depth: Takuma Asano (24 years old, £1.5 million) & Tyreece John-Jules (18 years old, N/A)
*Transfer values taken from Transfermrkt - Arsenal.
Contract Situation
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - Under contract through June 2021.
Alexandre Lacazette - Under contract through June 2022.
Danny Welbeck - Leaving on a free this summer.
Eddie Nketiah - Extended his contract in late 2017, but the specific length was not revealed.
Takuma Asano - Under contract through June 2020.
Tyreece John-Jules - Signed his first professional contract with Arsenal in February 2018, but the specific length was not revealed.
Objectives for Summer 2019 Transfer Window
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - There are links for a summer move away, and they will continue all summer, but it's very unlikely Arsenal will part with their Golden Boot winner with other areas of the team to improve. With two years left on Auba's contract, the club should look to sell him next summer and bring in a younger striker.
Alexandre Lacazette - Much of the above applies to Lacazette as well. However, if any major European club offers a massive sum, it should not be surprising to see the club part with either of them. Funds are needed, the contract and age profile of the club will be improvemed over the next few years, and given the right amount, either's contributions may well be sacrificed in the name of a squad rebuild.
Danny Welbeck - Learn. Eventually someone, at someone level, at Arsenal will learn to sell players before they walk away for nothing.
Eddie Nketiah - Loan out. He needs regular reps at the senior level to continue his development and to define his usefulness to Arsenal over the next few seasons.
Takuma Asano - Sell. Has never appeared for Arsenal and failed to score a goal at Hannover 96 this past season in the Bundesliga. Take what you can get for him and move on from yet another puzzling investment that didn't pan out.
Tyreece John-Jules - No contract action. Continues to start for U23s and takes over Nketiah's role as the 4th striker to start the year. Used only in emergency needs for primary competitions and bench appearances early on during the Cup competitions.
New Signing - At least one new striker will be signed, mainly to replace Welbeck's role. If neither of Auba or Laca is likely to move, Arsenal should aim young, knowing the player won't be expected to be a main contributor in year one. They should be looking for someone who has a high ceiling, but is slightly off the radar for most of the fan base.
Projected 2019/20 Depth Chart
Lots of rumors, but in my opinion, neither striker exits the Emirates this summer. Emery and his striker pair give it another season, hoping to find the right formation and tactics around them, while focusing on improving the defense.
Starters: Aubameyang & Lacazette
Backups: New Signing & John-Jules
Future Prospects: Nketiah (on loan)
Unless either of the player pushes for an exit, it is hard to see the club signing more than one forward. John-Jules is untested, but wouldn't be called on often, and playing that role for Arsenal and allowing Nketiah to get regular reps in the Championship or League One.
Would you be okay with another season of Aubameyang and Lacazette, or are you looking for a switch up in the front line?

An original and stunning external illuminated shop sign which would have adorned the front of, we are assuming, a french gift shop!
This industrial yet elegant light gives a lovely orange glow, with light coming from both back and front of the sign. The lettering is in a classic vintage font and the letters themselves are raised, giving a great 3D effect.
This is a truly unique statement piece item and would look great in any home.
The light can be collected or delivered by specialist courier. The price quoted is an estimate, so please do contact us before buying so we can give you an accurate shipping cost. Thanks!
This item will be shipped from Richmond, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
