Iowa prefers you get all Vital Records from the State Office in Des Moines, NOT at the County Recorder's office.
At the county level, all vital records occurring in that county (excluding fetal death, adoptive records, and out-of-wedlock births prior to July 1, 1995) are open to the public for inspection. County offices may set and charge a reasonable fee to inspect the records.
To secure a certified copy of a record from the county-of-event, applicants must have direct or tangible interest in the record. In other words, you must be the registrant (person named on the record) or have a lineal relationship to the registrant, such as a legal parent, grandparent, spouse, brother, sister, child, legal guardian, or legal representative. All requests or applications for each certificate must be in writing and include the purpose for the certificate. County registrars do not have code authority to have the following on record: 1) Single-parent births prior to July 1, 1995; 2) Adoptions; 3) Any record ordered seal by a court of law; 4) Birth, death, and marriage records between the years 1921 to 1941.
This page tells how to obtain copies of vital records such as birth certificates, death records, marriage licenses and divorce decrees in Iowa Counties. See the guidelines for information on how to order vital records. Check the related links for additional genealogical information on the State of Iowa.

The famous car race 24 Heures du Mans (24 Hours of Le Mans), held annually near the eponymous French town of Le Mans – the focus of the watch company Steinhart. Note that the first 24-hour check-famous race held on May 26, 1923.
In honor of the sporting event of watchmakers Steinhart watches were created Le Mans GT Automatic.
The new "racing" clock made its appearance based on the details of sports. The massive bezel reminds you drive a racing car, registration will dial the association with wheel drive, and the second hand is made, as the speedometer needle.
New housing diameter 46 mm and a thickness of 14.5 mm is made of brushed and polished stainless steel. The dial is made of carbon fiber on the method of the so-called "sandwich".
Functions: hours, minutes, seconds, via the central red arrow, date aperture at the position through a "6" hours. Hour and minute hands, as well as the inscription on the bezel are highlighted in blue by using the fluorescent coating.
The basis of hours – Swiss ETA 2824-2 automatic movement.
Hours are also complemented by a rubber strap black with stainless steel buckle with engraved logo and brand, reminiscent of tread rubber on the back side.
However, when buying watches you prefer leather strap, it should be noted that the leather is different underlined in red with red stitching and round holes.
Buy Watches Le Mans GT Automatic can be recommended for the producers price – 490 euros.


We believe that every individual desires to cultivate their career in an organisation that supports their work and life aspirations. Here are some reasons why many of us choose to build our careers here.
The way that people live and work are changing and these changes are shaping the role that places and spaces play. Our role is to create experiences, services and solutions that enable people to succeed, not just today but also in the future.
Within cities we create townships that seamlessly integrate living, working and learning experiences.
Committed to creating enriching experiences, we build partnerships with companies - as customers in our spaces; as co-investors and joint-venture partners in projects; and as technology partners in creating new services and solutions.
We know that truly sustainable cities need more than just physical space because we understand what generates business activities, creates jobs and catalyses growth.
In 1995, we pioneered ready-built facilities through Ascenda-Xinsu, delivering a hassle-free and safe operating experience. Attracting the first foreign investors into Suzhou Industrial Park, we contributed to the growth and success of China's leading industrial hub.
In India, we set the benchmark for IT Parks through the pioneering of International Tech Park Bangalore (ITPB). From its greenfield beginnings as the pioneer IT Park in suburban Whitefield, ITPB has successfully catalysed the growth of Whitefield into a sprawling showcase of investments that include distinguished campuses of global MNCs.
Beyond being a developer, we create vibrant communities for business and people to thrive. We connect with our customers, understanding their requirements and creating solutions to serve their needs. We connect businesses to potential partners and new markets. We connect start-ups to companies and opportunities, and provide programmes that support their entrepreneurial growth.
We think beyond business connections to create meaningful activities that connect people within our communities. Energising sports and fitness programmes and lively social activities are some examples of the experiences that our communities enjoy within our parks.
We think beyond physical space to create inspiring experiences through locations, environments and engaging interactions. We connect people to opportunities, bringing them together to interact and explore exciting prospects for growth.
The world is ours to create... together.
We take pride in our strong team culture - a tightly-knit fabric of values and experiences underpinned by mutual trust, learning, sharing, care and concern. We provide a conducive, family-friendly work environment that enhances our employees' professional and personal growth.
Our leaders continuously improve their leadership effectiveness so that we can build an engaged and productive workforce. This includes engaging in 360-degree feedback, which is the basis for defining and communicating leadership behaviours that the company values.
Our Wow Club takes the lead in organising regular employee events such as movie nights, games and sports activities, which add a colourful dimension to life in Ascendas-Singbridge. We aspire to be a company where employees can unwind and have fun together, building long-lasting friendships that extend beyond work.
At Ascendas-Singbridge, we are committed to building strong partnerships with the communities in which we operate, providing support and encouragement through our philanthropic efforts. Our goal is to enable the communities where we work and play to flourish.
The formation of the Ascendas-Singbridge GIVES Foundation (AGF) in 2012 further furnished more opportunities for Ascendas-Singbridge and our staff to actively participate in activities that reach out to more beneficiaries in the arts, community and the environment.
In a recent employee engagement survey, our employees across the region rated learning and development, in particular the variety of learning opportunities offered, as a key strength of the company.
Aside from structured learning programmes and events, selected employees are also given opportunities to be attached to different business units, in Singapore or overseas, to gain critical exposure and experience under the Ascendas-Singbridge Attachment Programme.
In addition, our Education Assistance policy provides employees with opportunities to upgrade themselves through part-time professional courses leading to a recognised certificate, diploma, bachelor's or master's degree.
From our recent 2017 Employee Engagement Survey, we performed better than the Asia-Pacific Norm in the category of Rewards and Recognition.

La flotta del Pei-yang, (Cinese semplificato: 北洋舰队; Cinese tradizionale: 北洋艦隊; pinyin: Běiyáng Jiànduì; Wade–Giles: Pei-yang Chien-tui; letteralmente: "Flotta dell'Oceano Settentrionale", alternativamente Flotta dei Mari del Nord), nota anche come Squadra del Nord, fu una delle forze navali dell'Impero Cinese alla fine del XIX secolo. All'epoca l'Impero non aveva un esercito ed una marina unificati, ma una serie di forze a livello locale più o meno organizzate. La flotta del Pei-yang era il complemento del Corpo d'armata del Pei-yang, e venne praticamente distrutta nella battaglia del fiume Yalu.

Dopo la battaglia le navi catturate, tra cui l'ammiraglia, vennero immesse in servizio dalla Marina imperiale giapponese e la Zhenyuan partecipò sotto il nome di Chin'en alla battaglia di Port Arthur.

Our cover story this week is about what wines work well for the holidays. This seems like a good excuse to share some of my favorite bottles. All these bottles are available in state.
1999 Calera Central Coast ($23) is a pinot noir from the central part of California. It's more balanced between the fruit and alcohol than most California pinots.
2004 Ben Marco ($20), from Mendoza Valley Argentina, is 90 percent cabernet sauvignon and 10 percent merlot. It's bold and full of fruit, but rounded with a slight oak for balance.
2004 Chateau Pesquie Les Terrasses ($12), from Rhone Valley, is smooth and fruity.
2004 Moshin Vineyard Tusi Vineyard ($17), from Dry Creek Valley in Sonoma County, Calif., is a lively, youthful pinot noir. Very much in the fruit-forward California style.
2005 Peachy Canyon Incredible Red ($13), from California's central coast, is a surprisingly light zinfandel. It's complex and very drinkable.
2003 Newport Riesling ($17) is crisp and dry. If you've tried a riesling and thought it was too sweet, this is for you. It's perfect with spicy Asian food.
2005 Hopler Gruner Veltliner ($13), from Austria, is a well-rounded white that balances the sugar with the sharpness of citrus.
2006 Burban's Albarinio ($14) must have that new taste scientists have discovered that gives you a satisfied feeling. This white is a cross between the best of a chardonnay and pinot gris.
2005 Claiborne & Churchill Gewürztraminer ($16) is dry in the Alsace tradition.
2006 Four Vines "Naked" Chardonnay ($12) is from the central region of California and offers a chardonnay without any of the oak or vanilla that it can be associated with. This wine is very crisp and the grape can be tasted.
Charamba Douro ($7) is a Portuguese red that finds balance despite a bit of bite. Excellent table wine with pizza.
Casal Garcia ($7) is a traditional young Portuguese white wine. It's so young that it actually sparkles a bit. It's light and crisp. Alcohol content on this is about half that of most wines.
Cumbrero Montecillo Rioja ($11) is a spicy Spanish red.
2004 Duo ($11) is a blend of merlot and cabernet sauvignon from Maipo Valley in Chile, one of the best places in the world to grow cabernet. This is a French-style Bordeaux where it's common to use the merlot grape to soften the harsh flavors of cabernet.
Columbia Crest Gewürztraminer Two Vines ($7) is a bit sweeter than many of the Oregon Gewurztraminers, but for the price it offers an exceptional value.
Have trouble tracking down your favorite bottle? Call one of the independent wine merchants or one of the wine-heavy state stores. In this region, the two best stores are Nashua #69 (882-4670) and Hooksett #4 (641-5145).


The first instances I held Eli shot me to a new dimension. Indeed, with family and friends on the perimeter, my eyes on the prize, kissing his warm flesh, no one could convince me it wasn't he and me against the world. I was in love.
No, there's nothing wrong. That's not why I'm writing. Hal's OK, things with Carrie are great, and NO, nothing spilled. I just wanted to tell you about the weekend. And don't tell me that you (of all people) heard.
First of all, from the moment I first saw him Thursday, one thing was clear: the baby looks just like Max. A bit bigger at birth, but that same peanut face, the same coloring, and —good news for the Jews — the same non-Bogart nose.
It was all good, Mom. Treasure trove to my chest, I'd sit on their couch, look down at Eli and marvel. Poised, head to my shoulder, he'd sleep and I'd kiss his right temple while around him his brother played. The older one: counts numbers now, in English and Spanish…recites the alphabet, in English and Hebrew. (Not that he wouldn't prefer kicking soccer balls or blowing bubbles or dancing. Oh, and no longer does "Hava Nagila" end the days. It's "Love Train" now. We circled the kitchen the other night, seven of us—-Max leading Meredith and Michael, three grandparents, and the baby's nurse Brenda).
But let me tell you about Eli.
What's that, Ma? I can't understand you. Please put your teeth in!
Yeah, Mom, I know that MY father didn't have much use for kids until they were old enough to play catch. You don't have to remind me each grandchild. Yes, mother…I know he wasn't right about everything. Will you let it go already!
May I please tell you about the bris?
It was elegant. I loved having it in the shul. The backdrop of the sanctuary perfected the tone.
Remember how two years ago an 8-day Max leaned toward Stuart and it just made sense for Stuey to hold him? Well as early as Thursday the Millers pulled me aside insisting that this turn was mine!
So I held him, Mom. On the bima. Tightly. As my father's father held my Dad, and my father held me, and I, years ago, held a fledgling Michael….
I clutched him, Mom…one hand under each knee…as the chazzan chanted and chipped and through Hebrew and English connected links of our family, finally drying tears on a beautiful Chaim Menachim Mendel Bogart, ben Moshe and Miriam….
May he be blessed with health, happiness, your sense of humor and your breadth of humility.
To Chaim. To Chaim. To life!

Refugees are forced to flee their home and country due to violence and persecution, and this history continues to inform their perspective for years to come. Hear from a panel of refugees, assembled by The Northwest Immigrant and Refugee Health Coalition (NWIRHC), about the way that the current political climate, and President Trump's executive orders are affecting the refugee community. The panel will also discuss their experiences, both as former refugees and direct service providers for newly resettled families, as well as advocates for the millions of people who are currently in limbo, hoping to find a safe place for themselves and their families. Finally, panel members will give their perspective on how community members can engage with the issues discussed and turn the information learned in this conversation into action.

Wenger cannot bear 'never being on the bench again' and targets management return
20 // Published 04 Sep 2019, 17:13
04 Sep 2019, 17:13 IST
Arsene Wenger said on Monday that he is keen to return to football management, after the 69-year-old admitted he "cannot live" without the excitement of "being on a bench again".
Wenger also revealed that he sometimes felt "a bit bitter" since his 22-year tenure at Arsenal came to an end in May 2018.
But the Frenchman is now ready to move on with his career and is happy to be "disconnected" from the English Premier League club.
Wenger suggested he could be interested in managing a team at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar - a tournament where he expects a European nation to claim international football's biggest prize.
The 2022 World Cup will be held in November and December of that year with all teams based in close proximity to each other, and Wenger said of hosts Qatar that they are "hugely ambitious and will be ready".

Q: GKSession won't send data to peers on second connection I've got a peer to peer iPhone game working pretty well. I've created a table to display available peers and I can connect (so far) up to four devices and play a full round of a game from start to finish:

But here's my problem...
I create a GKSession on one device with GKSessionModeClient and the other with GKSessionModeServer. The client sees the server, selects to connect it, then the server approves. The server then can tap "start game" when all the peers are connected.
If--before the server starts the game-- the client taps the "back" button to go to the previous screen, the custom peer picker display is popped from the view and the session is "destroyed"...
[_gkSession disconnectFromAllPeers];
[_gkSession setAvailable:NO];
[_gkSession setDelegate:nil];
[_gkSession setDataReceiveHandler:nil withContext:nil];

now, if the client goes back to the peer picker and joins the server again, I get a GKSessionStateConnected state again, but when I sendDataToAllPeers: nothing reaches the client. It works flawlessly if one device starts a game and three devices join and then the server taps "start game". But if someone quits out before the game starts, then recreating a session and joining fails.
Any ideas? My only hack I can think of at this point is preventing a user from tapping "back" once they connect to a server, but that kind of sucks...they'd have to quit the app completely if they changed their mind. I'm at my wits end with this one as the app is running as well as I like it except for this connection issue. Kind of an edge case but I can see a user being annoyed if they can't start a game without having to restart the application to get the sessions cleared.
Will make this a bounty when I can. Please help!
Edit @byteclub

*

*Does the server clean up all of the relevant data structures correctly if
  client leaves before game begins?

If the client leaves the game lobby after the server accepts their connection, the client's session is destroyed:
- (void)destroySession
{
    trace(@"destroySession");

    self.gameDelegate = nil;
    self.lobbyDelegate = nil;

    [_gkSession disconnectFromAllPeers];
    [_gkSession setAvailable:NO];
    [_gkSession setDelegate:nil];
    [_gkSession setDataReceiveHandler:nil withContext:nil];

    [_peerList removeAllObjects];
}

I do not call any disconnectFromPeers methods on the server device though.

* Is the client-disconnect-cleanup procedure different for cases when the

game has been started already?

Slightly, if a client disconnects then everyone receives a "peer quit" notification and the game ends. I don't worry about reconnecting in this case. It's mainly in the game lobby where the client can "Cancel" to go back to the home screen where the problem is. The client's session is destroyed in this case. If they then go back to the lobby and a new GKSession is alloc'ed, they can connect to the server still, but sendDataToAllPeers no longer works once they are connected.

* Do you still have a problem if, before reconnecting, you restart the

client, but leave the server running
  as is?

The client can reconnect in any case. I can quit, go back, restart the app and reconnect no problem. Just sendDataToPeers fails unless the server and client are both restarted.

* Do you completely destroy GKSession object on the client side

when user taps "back"?

Yes. (see code above)
I realize this is probably insane to debug from afar but if you have any suggestions for what I could look into, I'd appreciate it.

A:
It works flawlessly if one device
  starts a game and three devices join
  and then the server taps "start game".
  But if someone quits out before the
  game starts, then recreating a session
  and joining fails.

If I'm reading this right, it looks like you have the thing working correctly in some cases, but not others. I'd check the logic to make sure client connects/disconnects are handled the same (correct) way every time.
Some questions:

*

*Does the server clean up all of the relevant data structures correctly if client leaves before game begins?

*Is the client-disconnect-cleanup procedure different for cases when the game has been started already?

*Do you still have a problem if, before reconnecting, you restart the client, but leave the server running as is?

*Do you completely destroy GKSession object on the client side when user taps "back"?

Motorcycle insurance costs are an important consideration for any bike buyer. That's why MCN is highlighting some of the best cheap-to-insure motorcycles out there. This time it's the KTM Super Duke.
If all of life were like a KTM Super Duke it would be a short, barely glimpsed blur of action-packed vignettes. There is surely nothing more frenetic on two-wheels than the KTM 990 Super Duke short of sticking a nitrous kit, a jet turbine and a flame-thrower into the frame of a fold-up bicycle.
To call the KTM Super Duke's 999cc, DOHC V-twin a mere 'motor' is a bit like saying atomic warfare is bad for the flowers. Twisting the throttle unleashes such incredible accelerative forces on the KTM 990 Super Duke it's possible to give yourself wrinkles over your body. Staggeringly responsive. You just need to glance at a corner on the KTM 990 Super Duke and BANG! you're there.
Expensive when new, secondhand prices on the KTM 990 Super Duke reflect a large initial hit of depreciation that stabilises after a year or so, making a used Super Duke an excellent buy.

17th Century Grade II Listed cottage within a beautiful Green Belt setting.
The extension was designed to be very much in keeping with the original part of the cottage but to appear subordinate and complimentary. It features brickwork, reclaimed vertical clay tile hanging and a tiled roof to replicate the original property.
Works carried out included the replacement of existing 1980's garage with new one and a half storey extension and separate car port. The roof height is similar to that of the demolished garage, however the extension is also partially sunken into the ground, creating a lowered ground floor level thus allowing more useable space at an upper level within the roof space. The extension houses a flexible space currently used as a games room at lower level which opens out onto a concealed patio area with a bedroom and ensuite above.
The new car port is of an oak framed structure allowing space for two parked cars and a log store which compliments the extension and the original property with a tiled roof.

Two day workshop, Monday 27th and Tuesday 28th of April, 2015, led by Gary Green.
The Personal Project is an independent research project that a student produces in Year 10. It is a creative endeavor of the student's choosing that demonstrates the skills the student has learned in Approaches to Learning. Assessment of the Personal Project is based on a set of 8 specific criteria that are normalized to a scale of 1–7. The Personal Project is designed to demonstrate the student's ability to organise, create, and complete a significant body of work.

The last day of the workshop. The group has gelled together well and we now all know where to get the best coffee and how to find our way around. I get so much value out of speaking to other teachers, find out what they do and how they do it.
In this session we had some very useful conversations about different ways of reporting. We compared different reporting software and ways of writing reports.
In the morning Danielle Veilleux came along, she is the IB MYP curriculum and assessment manager for arts, individuals and societies and MYP Projects.
We looked at a sample of student work, marked it and then standardised our results. I must say the Teacher Support Material is very useful. You can find it on the OCC, under "general comments".
Community project is optional, but compulsory if you stop in MYP 4.
Community project is very useful to feed into the MYP Personal Project though.

It's a cold Melbourne morning, about 400 people have come to Mt Scopus for a series of 3-day MYP workshops. The room for the Individuals and Societies workshop is very full, mainly Australian teachers with a few teachers from the wider Asia Pacific. I'll be tweeting and blogging as I go, it's how I take notes and think.
As is usual, we start off with some ice breakers, and it's not long before the yellow post-it notes and the butcher's paper appears on our table.
We're looking at the evolution of the different models. I think it's becoming very multi-layered; dimensions within dimensions, is it too much?

I am on a steep learning curve when it comes to criterion-referenced assessment. Like many teachers, I have used the standard norm-referenced assessment model for years. This is recognizable to everyone, for example: Question 1 asks for three main points. If the student identified the three points, three marks are awarded. In contrast to this, criterion-referenced assessment works with pre-defined criteria which describe increasing levels of success in understanding the curriculum. The more I read about it and work with it in the MYP and the IB DP, the more I see how using criterion-referenced assessment allows for a more sophisticated understanding and assessment of a student's learning, skill and knowledge.

Buying, Selling and collecting Series 1923 Silver Certificates.
The series of 1923 was issued in only two denomination, the $1.00 and $5.00. The $1.00 is the most common large sized bill. The $5.00 is much less common and highly sought after as a one year type note. This is the last of the large sized notes. In 1928 these large sized notes were retired permanently and the current size of bill was issued for the first time.
Known as the Cogwheel, it is the most common large note found today. There are at least 15,000 of these known to exist. This is a huge number in a hobby that considers 200 known common. A worn example can be had for as little as $10.00 while a full blown perfect example might make 500 or so. If you are looking to collect large sized currency by type this is a nice place to get your feet wet.
This note along with the 1923 Legal tender pokerchip represent the 1920's in fine fashion. Both notes are considered rare notes of the 20th century and both notes are quite beautiful. The back of the Porthole features a dignified eagle and seal with a radiating starburst sort of pattern. Like the Pokerchip these notes are very popular and command a nice premium in very fine condition. Whats is a 1923 $5.00 bill worth? A nice mid-grade note will run from $750 to $1000. A flawless example can easily exceed $8,000.

Navy accepts delivery of its newest stealth destroyer — named for a SEAL that gave his life to save his teammates
by Alex Hollings Apr 26, 2018
On Tuesday, the United States Navy announced that it had accepted delivery of its second Zumwalt class stealth destroyer, slated to become the USS Michael Monsoor once it has been commissioned.
Once expected to become the new workhorse platform of the U.S. Navy, the Monsoor is the second of only three Zumwalt class destroyers the branch will take receipt of — a sharp decline from the initial order of 32 ships. The first vessel, also the class' namesake, Zumwalt, was delivered in May of 2016.
The Monsoor hasn't truly seen the end of its construction phase, however, as the destroyer will still need to have its combat systems installed — a process the Navy anticipates can be completed within the coming months, though officially, the Monsoor isn't expected to be fully operational until sometime in 2020. The suite of combat systems yet to be installed include weapons platforms, sensors, and the ship's communication suite.
"Delivery of DDG-1001 [Michael Monsoor] marks the culmination of years of dedication and hard work from our Navy and industry team," said Capt. Kevin Smith, the program manager for DDG-1000, in a statement. "We have incorporated many lessons learned from DDG 1000 [Zumwalt] and are proud of the end result. DDG 1001 will be a tremendous asset to the Navy."
The Monsoor will ultimately be equipped with Raytheon's SM-6 missiles, a platform that Raytheon claims is the only missile that can be used to engage enemy aircraft and enemy ships as well as serving as a projectile interceptor for ballistic missiles.
"Deployed on cruisers and destroyers in the U.S. Navy, the SM-6 missile provides Joint Force and Strike Force Commanders fleet air defense against all types of aircraft – manned and unmanned; land-attack anti-ship cruise missiles in flight; ballistic missiles in their terminal, or final, stage of flight over land or sea; and targets on the ocean's surface." Raytheon claims.
The missile is also considered to be highly cost-effective – as it couples legacy airframe and propulsion systems with an advanced targeting apparatus.

It's fitting that the Navy would choose to add such a cost effective missile to the Zumwalt class of ships, as the vessels themselves were developed with the intention of including the Navy's 155mm Advanced Gun System (AGS). The new weapon system was supposed to fire Long-Range Land Attack Projectiles at targets as far away as 80 nautical miles, but as the number of Zumwalt class ships being ordered dwindled, the cost of the advanced projectile skyrocketed. Before the Navy opted to swap in the cost effective SM-6, the Navy was looking at spending a whopping $800,000 per round for the AGS.
However, that switch did force the Navy to reassess its plans for the Zumwalt class of destroyers. Without the AGS, the Navy recently announced a change in mission for the ships — no longer slated to be a land attack platform as initially intended, the Zumwalt destroyers will now serve in anti-ship and ballistic missile strike operations.
The Michael Monsoor is named to honor Navy SEAL Michael Anthony Monsoor, who was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his selfless bravery as a Combat Advisor and Automatic Weapons Gunner for Naval Special Warfare Task Group Arabian Peninsula on 29 September 2006.
According to the Navy citation, Monsoor was one of three SEALs situated atop a roof when an enemy grenade landed nearby. Monsoor was the only one of the three to have a clear means of escape, but instead chose to dive onto the grenade, saving the lives of his teammates in the process.
"Mike was one of the bravest men on the battlefield, never allowing the enemy to discourage him. He remained fearless while facing constant danger, and through his selfless nature and aggressive actions, saved the lives of coalition soldiers and his fellow SEALs. He was a loyal friend and exceptional SEAL, and he is sorely missed by his brothers in Task Unit Bravo." The Navy statement read.

Close-Knit (2017) (Karera ga honki de amu toki wa)
Posted on April 23, 2018 April 24, 2018 by Danielle
When eleven year old Tomo's already mostly absent mother takes off again after a night of heavy drinking, Tomo finds her uncle Makio at the bookstore where he works to tell him. The bond between the pair is apparent as they make their way back to his apartment together. They talk about the video games they played the last time this happened, and they touch on the issue of Tomo's mother; she has always been this way. He assures her that she can stay with him anytime, however, she should know that he is living with someone now, and he explains that this person is very special to him, and, he warns, is a little different. Tomo hesitates for a moment, but continues on with Makio. When she meets Rinko her face reveals some confusion, but she says nothing as Makio walks around pointing out the many changes that Rinko has made in the apartment. Feminine touches here and there, some new furniture. You get the sense that Tomo might be less worried about the fact that her uncle's partner is transgender than she is about the realization that she has been displaced as the woman of the house; Rinko's name has even replaced hers on the list of high scores on the gaming system. It's a funny scene. In the beginning, many of their conversations are peppered with humorous touches that make light of a mutual feeling of nervous vulnerability, and over time, a relationship built on honesty, love, and acceptance develops.
I am always interested in depictions of the a-typical Japanese family, and Close-Knit did not disappoint. The relationship that develops between Tomo and Rinko is heart-warming, their evolution from adversary-like acquaintances to mother and daughter is touching, and the personal story of Rinko and her journey are treated with care. Close-Knit is definitely a sweet film, but there were aspects that I found to be excessive. As Tomo's relationship with Rinko is developing, her classmate struggles with his sexuality and is shamed by his homophobic mother. This secondary story would have been fine in isolation, but pairing it alongside Rinko and Tomo's story morphed the film into a social justice piece, which weakened the emotional weight of the main storyline for me.
The LGBTQ movement in Japan is just really beginning to make waves, and there are aspects of this story line that I think are worth discussion with consideration to this. Japanese society can be quite rigid when it comes to social definitions of gender, and so it was no surprise that so much attention was given to motherhood when the subject of what defines a woman is brought up in the film. Rinko is not yet legally female, and even though making this her legal gender is just a relatively small bureaucratic matter, she has decided to wait until she has performed a Buddhist ceremony that consists of burning 108 phalluses knit by hand. The process of knitting, the time and consideration given to each stitch, a meditation on her life. Tomo and Makio get involved with the project, knitting the phalluses by her side as she prepares herself for the final step in her transition, and the family of three are in attendance for the symbolic funeral for her male self. What I found interesting about this was the timing for Rinko, as it aligns with another symbolic transition: motherhood. At the end of the film when Tomo's mother returns, Rinko asks for her permission to adopt Tomo. Tomo's mother is taken aback, and she defends her role as Tomo's mother by shaming Rinko: if she cannot carry a baby and cannot teach her daughter about menstruation, she is not a real woman, how could she be a mother? Tomo rushes to Rinko's defense. It is obvious that Rinko is the better mother, after all, Tomo's mother is the kind of person who says, "I am a woman. That comes before being a mother." But I can't help but wonder if Rinko's win, by these standards, is a win at all. The timing of her transition paired with her relationship with Tomo suggests that motherhood is essential aspect of womanhood. If Rinko hadn't met Tomo and become her mother, could she be accepted as female by Japanese standards? Could she accept herself as female? By whose standards is she operating? Close-Knit is a moving film that treats its subjects with humanity, but I felt that its perspective is on the side of the very standards that have made acceptance and progress for women's rights and for the LGBTQ community in Japan so difficult.
Grievances aside, I did really enjoy this film. It is progressive, especially for Japan, and provides an interesting perspective on gender roles and on transgender rights in Japan. The actors were great; Toma Ikuta and Rinka Kakihara have excellent chemistry as Rinko and Tomo, and definitely are the stand out performances of the film. The characters are relate-able, the humor is on-point, the story is heartwarming -I recommend it.

Garo Z. Antreasian (b. 1922) belongs to the great generation of innovators in mid-twentieth-century American art. While influenced by a variety of European artists in his early years, it was his involvement with Tamarind Lithography Workshop starting in 1960 that transformed his work. As Tamarind's founding technical director, he revolutionized the medium of lithography. He discovered how to manipulate the spontaneous possibilities of lithography in the manner of the abstract expressionist painters. In addition to reflecting on his work, he writes movingly about his Armenian heritage and its importance in his art, his teaching, and his love affair with all sorts of artistic media. Illustrating his drawings, paintings, and prints, this book reveals Antreasian as a major American artist.
This book was made possible in part by generous contributions from the Frederick Hammersley Foundation and Gerald Peters Gallery.
Garo Z. Antreasian is a professor emeritus in the Department of Art and Art History at the University of New Mexico. He was the founding technical director of the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in Los Angeles, a position he also held when Tamarind moved to the University of New Mexico and was renamed the Tamarind Institute. Antreasian was the principal author of The Tamarind Book of Lithography: Art and Techniques (coauthored by Clinton Adams). His award-winning work has been featured in more than seventy exhibitions and is held in numerous public and private collections.

DDC gene
dopa decarboxylase
The DDC gene provides instructions for making the aromatic l-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) enzyme, which is important in the brain and nervous system. This enzyme takes part in the pathway that produces dopamine and serotonin, which are chemical messengers that transmit signals between nerve cells (neurotransmitters).
Dopamine is produced from the protein building block (amino acid) tyrosine, and serotonin is produced from the amino acid tryptophan. Both neurotransmitters are produced in two-step processes. First, other enzymes control the reactions that convert tyrosine to L-dopa, and tryptophan to 5-hydroxytryptophan. The AADC enzyme then converts L-dopa and 5-hydroxytryptophan to dopamine and serotonin, respectively. To do this, it removes a molecular structure called a carboxyl group, consisting of a carbon atom, two oxygen atoms, and a hydrogen atom.
Aromatic l-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency
Mutations in the DDC gene result in reduced activity of the AADC enzyme. Without enough of this enzyme, nerve cells produce less dopamine and serotonin. Dopamine and serotonin are necessary for normal nervous system function, and changes in the levels of these neurotransmitters contribute to the developmental delay, intellectual disability, abnormal movements, and autonomic dysfunction seen in people with AADC deficiency.
Studies have shown certain variations (polymorphisms) in the DDC gene to be associated with increased risk of nicotine dependence, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); however, other studies have not supported these findings. Many genetic and environmental factors are believed to contribute to these complex conditions.

Yahoo News 360
The best-case scenario for the economy has become more plausible
Mike Bebernes
·Senior Editor
"The 360" shows you diverse perspectives on the day's top stories and debates.
Consumer prices fell for the first time in more than two years last month, providing optimism that sustained inflation that has plagued the U.S. economy may finally be easing.
Costs were still up 6.5% in December compared with a year earlier, but the rate of increase has steadily declined for six straight months after hitting a four-decade high during the summer.
"We still have more work to do, though, but we're clearly moving in the right direction," President Biden said in an address last week. "There's more breathing room in store for American workers and families."
Reducing inflation has been a top priority for economic policymakers since it became clear that prices would not drop on their own once the shock of the pandemic dissipated. The most potent tool to do that is to raise interest rates, which the Federal Reserve has done repeatedly over the past year. Interest rate hikes have proven successful at taming inflation in the past — because they effectively decrease the amount of money moving around the economy — but they very often lead to recession and higher unemployment. It took a major increase in interest rates to subdue the runaway inflation of the late 1970s, leading to a brutal recession in the 1980s.
But, so far, that hasn't happened in today's economy. Rather than rising, unemployment continued to drop throughout 2022. An estimated 4.5 million jobs were added last year to bring the unemployment rate down to 3.5%, matching a record low set shortly before the arrival of the coronavirus pandemic.
Why there's debate
These two simultaneous positive trends — declining inflation along with resilient employment — has raised hope that the U.S. may buck conventional wisdom and experience a "soft landing" in which the economy's ills can be tamed without creating a lot of pain for working Americans.
Optimists believe the "Goldilocks" scenario is plausible in part because, unlike previous instances, today's economic turbulence is the largely result of major external factors — pandemic disruptions and Russia's invasion of Ukraine among them — that are stabilizing over time. Others say the job situation is so strong right now that even a modest increase in unemployment in the coming months would still leave workers in good shape, particularly if prices keep dropping.
But a majority of economists still see a recession in the near future, though their reasons vary. Many make the case that, as good as the recent data has been, there is still a long way to go for inflation to be truly brought under control, and the path to accomplish that goal will inevitably bring job losses. Others say worrying shifts in sectors like the housing market and manufacturing are signals that a significant financial downturn is on the horizon.
Many on the political left argue that a recession is entirely avoidable, but only if the Federal Reserve stops raising interest rates and allows promising trends to do their work — a prospect that appears unlikely in the near future.
The Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates again when it meets later this month, though possibly by a smaller amount than previous increases. It may be several months before it becomes clear whether employment can stay strong in the face of even higher interest rates.
A soft landing is likely unless there's another major economic disruption
"It looks like the Fed has largely accomplished its mission of taming inflation, without bringing on a recession. Plenty of things can mess up this picture, like another surge of Covid or an escalation of the war in Ukraine, but for now, the economy is looking very good." — Dean Baker, Center for Economic Policy and Research
There's simply no way to tame inflation without spiking unemployment
A true recession entails job losses — sooner or later. … We've already seen jobs losses in technology and finance, but more are coming even though the monthly job figures still look good. Our recession forecast hasn't wavered. We should all be prepared." — Lakshman Achuthan and Anirvan Banerji, CNN
Policymakers will drive the economy into recession unnecessarily
"It's time for the Fed to step back and allow the economy to glide in for the soft landing that everyone wants. Unfortunately, the Fed thinks it can't do that. It can't show any weakness. It feels trapped because its policy relies on perceptions of strength, not on actual victories on the battlefield of the economy." — Rex Nutting, MarketWatch
Even if a recession does come, odds are it will be mild
"My own prediction is indeed for a softish landing: Inflation does seem to be coming down, and while we might not completely avoid a recession, if we have one it will probably be mild." — Paul Krugman, New York Times
We shouldn't necessarily be rooting for a soft landing
"The problem with a soft landing is that it will drag out this inflation cycle. That means more months (or years) where wages won't keep up with rising prices, pushing some households further into debt. … The longer the slog out of inflation, the more households will burn through their savings." — Allison Schrager, Bloomberg
A recession is the most likely outcome, but it's not inevitable
"The economy is surely slowing, but there is a possibility that employment growth will not turn negative unless the Fed persists with heavy half-point increases in interest rates over the next few months. Yes, Goldilocks may still have a chance, but it is a slim one." — Bruce Yandle, Washington Examiner
Today's economic situation is so unprecedented, any outcome is possible
"If you asked me the question of could there be a soft landing? Yes. Any question that begins with 'could' about today's economy, which is just so unpredictable, is going to get the answer yes." — Jason Furman, economist, to Wall Street Journal
Elites have too much incentive to manufacture a rise in unemployment
"Low unemployment means an unruly workforce with the leverage and confidence to unionize. Rising wages for employees means less money for employers. The higher inflation that tends to accompany a high-demand economy of mass affluence is effectively a massive transfer of wealth from creditors to debtors. … So the uncomfortable truth is that the top 1 percent generally prefer a slower-growing economy with higher unemployment to its opposite." — Jon Schwarz, Intercept

If you want to surprise your guests with a refreshing and delicious sorbet, sure you get the Pineapple Sherbet, Coconut and Banana , is an infallible combination and developed with natural fruit, except coconut, it is also nutritious.
The Pineapple Sorbet is a recipe that can be taken as a dessert or as a cocktail . I've even bathed before serving with a splash of Malibu Super refreshing and sweet. If you want to prepare this sorbet for little kids, you just have to do without the rum that we have included in their preparation. Sure so no one refuses to eat fruit.
280 grams of banana (3 units) , 220 grams of fresh pineapple , 170 grams of coconut cream , white rum 20 grams , 130 grams of clear (3 or 4 egg whites) , 25 grams invert sugar .
Put in the glass of the Thermomix or blender peeled and sliced ??bananas, pineapple also chopped, first remove the interior trunk that is hard, coconut cream and rum. If you do not have coconut cream, you can add natural coconut pulp , then you must also add sugar to taste, it is not as sweet as coconut cream commercial.
Once you obtain a fine and homogeneous cream, hand it to a container with a tight lid and insert it into the freezer. Every half hour, take it out to beat and prevent crystals from forming.
Monta whites until stiff with a pinch of salt, when are firm incorporates invert sugar as you continue beating. As with lemon sorbet , when fruit cream starts to be frozen, the egg whites and incorporates mixture enveloping movements.
Re-enter the container in the freezer and beat him out for about an hour, until you have the desired texture.
You can serve the sorbet of pineapple, coconut and banana into balls with a spoon for ice cream, serve in bowls and garnish with chocolate sprinkles, finally, adults only, add if you want some whipped coconut, though one or with chocolate sauce will also be great.

Ex-Batts and Broilers
Haste Theatre
Providing a literal birds-eye view of the world, Ex-Batts and Broilers is a story about chickens.
Gail and Gemma (Jesse Dupré and Sophie Taylor) are chickens. They have an important story to tell. And it's not just any story, it's their story, told by the birds complete with "backflashes", monologues, singing and even a spot of Zumba. We are taught about cage pooping etiquette, how they keep themselves entertained and how they met. This is the story of their friendship.
These two talented performers merrily bounce around the stage, in many ways a traditional double act, playing with status, mocking each other and competing for the love of the audience. And it is a competition, as part of their peacocking (wrong animal I know) is to win a vote at the end of the show. A vote that decides which of them gets to attend Jimmy's 60th birthday, their human rescuer, their friend.
It's absurd and frequently funny but poignant too, easy to forget these vibrant likeable personalities began their lives in battery farms until memories begin to seep into the narrative and we learn of poor Graham's industrial demise. Due to the largely upbeat script with a carefree, almost childish tone, these moments noticeably undercut the merriment, providing a firm grounding to the fun and games.
The story tumbles out of these two characters but the spontaneity is carefully measured, the direction deceptively detailed. Highly entertaining but leaving a lingering aftertaste, Ex-Batts and Broilers is another physical and expressive piece of theatre from Haste. It's not easy being a chicken, but these "chicky babies" cope the best that they can.
