Commissioners approve asphalt work
By Sam Wildow - Miami Valley Today
MIAMI COUNTY — The Board of Miami County Commissioners approved asphalt repairs, as well as cracking filling and sealing, to the Miami County Incarceration Facility and the Miami County Sheriff's Office Training Center during their meeting on Tuesday morning.
For the Miami County Incarceration Facility, the commissioners approved asphalt repairs, cracking filling, sealing, and re-striping improvements not to exceed $21,450, accepting a quote from Cooper's Asphalt of Ludlow Falls to complete the work. The project will include milling repairs in approximately 19 locations totaling 3,160 square feet, adding new compacted surface asphalt, and new asphalt construction in islands of approximately 276 square feet. Areas of approximately 50,361 square feet will be cleaned, have oil spots treated, have cracks filled, and have two coats of seal to be applied to it. The parking lot striping will also be redone.
The commissioners then authorized similar repairs to the Miami County Sheriff's Office Training Center parking lot to be completed by Cooper's Blacktop. The cost is not to exceed $21,500. The project will include milling, filling, and repairing area of the upper parking lop at the training center in addition to widening the driveway from the lower section to the upper section. The parking lot will also be striped.
Following that, the commissioners awarded the purchase of a wheelchair accessible van to Transit Works for Miami County Veterans Services. The cost of the van is not to exceed $49,647. The van will be used to transport veterans to the Dayton Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
In other business, the commissioners authorized and signed an agreement for the Miami County Plaza demolition and waterproofing project.
The project was awarded to E. Lee Construction of Delphos on May 7 at a cost not to exceed $689,990 for the demolition and waterproofing of the courthouse plaza as part of the renovation project for the site. This part of the renovation project will include the tunnel demolition; the site work demolition such as paving, landscape, site lighting, and irrigation; and new sanitary and storm lines; along with waterproofing and storm drainage at the courthouse.
E. Lee Construction Inc. was the only contractor to submit a bid for this portion of the renovation project, and their bid was opened during the commissioners' meeting on April 25.
Also during their meeting, the commissioners authorized an Early Intervention Service Coordination Grant Agreement with the Miami County Family and Children First Council and the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities for early intervention service coordination services with Riverside of Miami County. The total grant amount is $237,109 and will be effective July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.
The commissioners also authorized a contract with the Lamar Companies of Dayton as requested by the Miami County Department of Job and Family Services for three billboard advertisements to run through June 11. The billboards — which will be located within the Miami County area on State Route 66 near Ziegler Road in Piqua, County Road 25-A north of Farrington Road, and County Road 25-A south of Eldean Road —will promote fraud awareness. The cost is not to exceed $1,300.
The commissioners authorized the employment of Tina N. Hall as an eligibility referral specialist 2/employment services worker for the Department of Job and Family Services at a pay rate of $15.35/hour.
The commissioners also re-appointed Julie Drumheller, Jeff Francis, and Jeff Poettinger to the Planning Commission.
The commissioners then authorized the purchase of eight chairs for the commissioners' office from Brower Stationers, Inc. of Troy. The cost is not to exceed $1,540.

1100 Residences For The Elderly Sanctioned In Spain Community By Community
1,133 residences for the elderly have been fined between 2014 and 2020, 21% of the more than 5,000 in Spain. EL PAÍS reveals for the first time the details of these sanctions, which until now were unknown: you can consult them in the search engines by autonomous community below, ordered according to the number of fines that have been imposed (and read the rest of the investigation here) .
The current name of the residence always appears, as provided by the Administrations through the Transparency Law. Most of the time it matches the one you had at the time of the violation, although there will be cases where it has changed. The year allows identifying the time of the fine.
1. Community of Madrid, 351 penalties
Communities have two ways to fine. One is the sanctions (depending on the type of offense: minor, serious or very serious); the other, the so-called penalties, fines that are usually due to breaches of the management contract of a center. Madrid is the community with the most fines in general (351) and the second after Castilla-La Mancha that uses penalties the most.
Four of the five most sanctioned residences in all of Spain are in this community (the fifth, in Asturias). These are the Peñuelas residence and the Las Mercedes residence in Madrid, Sierra de Kanaima in Moralzarzal and Hestia in Madrid. At the end of 2020 there were 22 firm sanctions from that same year.
Las Peñuelas received the highest sanction in Spain in 2016, of almost half a million euros, for deficiencies in equipment and facilities. The Community collected that amount from the guarantee that the management company had left until then, Eulen, when its contract ended: according to the company there were no deficiencies, but a discrepancy on maintenance.
Several residences accumulate more than three sanctions, such as those of Villanueva de la Cañada and Villalba that today are from Orpea (they were from Sanyres until July 2016) or that of Sanitas in Florida. But there are also large fines for individuals. This is the case of four businessmen fined a total of 210,000 euros for trying to open unauthorized centers in Santos de la Humosa in 2017, 2018 and 2019.
2. Castilla-La Mancha, 266 penalties
Castilla-La Mancha accumulates 266 between sanctions and penalties. They are more than in other regions but generally lower: the average infraction is 1,600 euros, one of the lowest in Spain.
Castilla-La Mancha has a sanctioning regime of up to 600,000 euros for very serious infractions and there are two sanctions of this type in the data. One was for providing inadequate assistance and incurring in serious omissions and led to the closure of the Santa Isabel center in Marrupe (Toledo), in 2017. The other was for the "degrading treatment" of users of the Cazalegas Residence (Toledo) in 2015 and was left with a penalty of 20,000 euros.
3. Catalonia, 263 penalties
Catalonia is the one that has sanctioned the most residencies: 203 since 2014, for a total of 263 sanctions. But you can't tell what they are. As a result of the request for information transparency that this newspaper has made, the management companies of the centers have been asked if they wanted to present allegations to the publication of the information. After their complaints, the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia has imposed a precautionary measure that prevents knowing their names or in which municipalities they are.
The data indicate that nine out of ten sanctions have been serious or very serious and that 20% (39) have been for inappropriate treatment of users.
4. Basque Country, 148 penalties
The fines from Bizkaia (116), Álava (18) and Gipuzkoa (14) have been brought together in a single group, but in the Basque Country it is the Provincial Administrations that inspect and sanction residences. In total, there are 102 fined residences.
The case of Bizkaia is striking because it is where there are more reprimands, 48%, and because it has the lowest fines in Spain, with 400 euros of medium infraction, slightly less than Álava (500 euros): it is because the law allows Minimize the penalty if faults are remedied. Gipuzkoa, the Administration that carries out the most inspections , has imposed 14 final sanctions, the most recent in 2019.
5. Castilla y León, 135 penalties
In Castilla y León (135 penalties) there are the only cases of fines for user abandonment. It cost the Nuestra Señora de la Esperanza residence 90,000 euros and the definitive closure in 2018. The Cibeles residence in Villamayor (Salamanca) also committed this offense, which is the second most punished in the community, with five fines. The first is the El Jardín residence, in Corbillos de Sobarriba (León), with six.
6. Valencian Community, 113 penalties
The Valencia Community has imposed the most extreme measure eight times, closing a center. In five cases it was due to lack of authorization to operate as residences, in the others due to the state of the facilities and to putting the health of users at risk.
In addition to the 106 penalties that the search engine collects, there are another seven, from 2020, that are not included because the file is still open.
The most sanctioned residence is Jardines de Llíria, which the DomusVi company has managed since 2018 (before it was owned by Gerovida). He has accumulated six serious penalties since 2015, one of them still pending appeal .
7. Galicia, 73 sanctions
In Galicia there are 73 sanctions since 2014. It is the community where the most fines have been given in 2020: 26, 36%. There are two residences that have been closed and one of them, Valle Inclán, is the most fined in the community (three times, for a total of 126,000 euros).
The owner of residences that accumulates the most sanctions in Galicia is the Congregation of the Little Sisters of the Helpless Elderly. They manage residences in several communities but nowhere else do you have five fines like here. One is from 2015 and the other four from 2020, to the Santa Teresa de Jornet residences (two penalties), San José and Betania (33,000 euros in total).
8. Aragon, 45 penalties
Aragon has not provided the amount of the sanctions, but the rest of the information has. It has imposed 45 since 2014 and there are only three residences that have been fined more than once: Virgen de Loreto Botanical Park, Santa Fe Social Health Center and Hernán Cortés Residence.
9. Asturias, 44 penalties
Twelve of the 44 sanctions for nursing homes in Asturias are for homes that started operating without authorization. There are only two penalties of more than 20,000 euros and one of them, to the Reconquista Residence in Llanera, is one of the highest in Spain: 225,379 euros for several very serious offenses committed in 2017. The other, to the Ablaña Day and Residence Center , is 73,366 euros.
10. Andalusia, 32 penalties
At the end of 2020, there were still no firm sanctions for that year or the previous one in Andalusia. Yes, there were 32 to 29 nursing homes in previous years, 14 of them in 2015. They are relatively few for a community where there are 646 nursing homes.
The most common sanction is around 9,700 euros and the highest is from 2014, to the Nuestra Señora de las Angustias residence in Albolote (Granada), fined 180,000 euros and already closed. The center that has been sanctioned the most times (three) is Vitalia Mairena, in Mairena del Aljarafe (Seville). The sanctions, of 2014, 2015 and 2016, total 42,000 euros.
11. La Rioja, 27 penalties
La Rioja is the second community that has fined the most centers of all it has: 45%, with 27 penalties for 15 residences. The most sanctioned is the Hospital del Santo Residence, in Santo Domingo de La Calzada. It has three penalties, in 2018, 2019 and 2020, which add up to 69,000 euros (the search engine also includes the information on fines to five day centers for the elderly).
12. Cantabria, 25 penalties
In Cantabria there are 25 penalties since 2014 for an average amount of 6,000 euros, which is the maximum prescribed by regional law for light penalties and the minimum for serious penalties.
The Villa Cicero residence, in Bárcena de Cicero, is the one with the highest sanction: only one, in 2015, which led to a disqualification and a 60,000 euro fine for several very serious offenses. La Gloria Residence, in Liencres, is the one with the most fines, three in 2014 (serious and very serious) and then in 2017 and 2018.
13. Navarra, 22 penalties
Navarra has 22 sanctions and firm penalties, 6 in 2018. They are all fines of more than 10,000 euros for serious infractions with the exception of two minor ones, above the average for the rest of the communities.
14. Balearic Islands, 17 penalties
The island councils are in charge of inspecting and sanctioning residences. Menorca and Ibiza have not notified any sanction, while Mallorca has reported 17, but without saying which ones for the protection of personal data. The reason given, however, clashes with what the Transparency Council ( download sentence ) dictated , which puts the public interest of sanctions on data protection above.
In Mallorca 17 sanctions have been imposed. Four of them are from 2020, but only one of these is firm (in 2018 there were 4 and in 2019 as well). It is the administration that imposes the highest penalties: the median offense is 24,000 euros.
The highest final sanction has been 72,000 euros, in 2016, to a residence for serious and very serious infractions. There is one that exceeds this figure, but it is not yet firm: in 2020 a sanctioning procedure has begun where the proposed fine is 192,000 euros. If confirmed, it would be the third highest in Spain.
15. Murcia, 9 penalties
In Murcia there are nine sanctions, but four of them are against the same residence, the Ile Senior Club. Two were in 2019, for advertising without authorization or being registered as a residence, operating without permits and hindering the work of inspectors. But the administrative deadlines were so long that they expired and the fine was never imposed. The Administration had to restart the sanction process in 2020. Then it did close firmly.
The Virgen de la Salud residence, in Alcantarilla, has three penalties. It is a good example of how to evaluate a violation. In 2017, "a disabled user escapes from the center, falls with hospital admission", which resulted in a serious offense and 3,000 euros of fine. In 2018, "a disabled user escapes from the center, without consequences"; It ended as a minor offense, 1,000 euros and a warning.
16. Canary Islands, 6 penalties
The Canary Islands is a peculiar case: there are few sanctions, only six, but all for very serious infractions and with very harsh fines. Five of them entail the closure of the residence (temporary, in two cases) and another three impose fines of more than 60,000 euros. All cases are in 2017, 2018 and 2019.
17. Extremadura, 3 penalties
In Extremadura, only three sanctions have been imposed on three residences. The highest was in 2016 and for 48,000 euros to the Nuestra Señora de La Asunción Residence in Villafranca de los Barros (Badajoz).

Very Rev. Fr. Barouyr Shernezian Celebrates First Divine Liturgy as New Pastor of St. Gregory The Illuminator Church in San Francisco
On Sunday, February 14, 2016, the feast of the Presentation of our Lord to the Temple, H.E. Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian, Prelate, presided over Divine Liturgy at St. Gregory the Illuminator Church in San Francisco. It was the first Divine Liturgy celebrated by Very Rev. Fr. Barouyr Shernezian as the newly appointed pastor of St. Gregory Church.
During the service, the Prelate congratulated the parish community on the appointment of their new pastor, introduced Fr. Barouyr to the community, and urged them all to work together with their new pastor for the advancement of the church and community. Fr. Barouyr conveyed gratitude to His Holiness Aram I and thanks to the Prelate for his new mission. He then delivered his sermon on the feast of the Presentation of our Lord, in which he spoke of the traditions associated with the feast, such as the presentation of infants and young children to God for blessing, in the example of our Lord, and the lighting of the bonfire which symbolizes the Light of Christ illuminating the world. In the example of Simeon the Elder, Fr. Barouyr encouraged the faithful to always have faith and hope, in all circumstances, so that we too may be worthy of being in the presence of our Lord, and prayed for the Light of Christ to illuminate the hearts of all.
A luncheon hosted by the Board of Trustees and Ladies Guild followed at "Vasbouragan" Hall. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, Chairman Mr. Rostom Aintablian first thanked the Prelate and Joint Councils for the appointment of Fr. Barouyr, then welcomed Fr. Barouyr and thanked parish pastor Archpriest Fr. Khoren Habeshian for his years of dedicated service. Fr. Khoren also welcomed Fr. Barouyr and promised his assistance as the new pastor acclimates into his new duties. Fr. Barouyr thanked the parish community for its warm welcome and pledged his full and dedicated service to the parish.
In his closing message, the Prelate once again congratulated the community and wished for Fr. Barouyr's term of service to be enlivening for the community. His Eminence once again expressed thanks to His Holiness for endowing our Prelacy with two young members of the Brotherhood, Fr. Barouyr and Very Rev. Fr. Dajad Ashekian (who was appointed pastor of Holy Trinity Church in Fresno). Finally, the Prelate commended Fr. Khoren for his dedicated service to our church, blessed the faithful, and wished great successes for the St. Gregory the Illuminator Church family, especially as they prepare to mark the 50th anniversary of the church later this year.

Jeremy Sewall
He may have cooked his way from London and Amsterdam to California, but chef Jeremy Sewall's culinary heart beats strongest for New England and its seafood. As chef-co-owner (with his wife, pastry chef Lisa Sewall) of the Brookline, Massachusetts, restaurant Lineage, Sewall serves up dishes like Cape Cod bluefish with radicchio and tomatillo panzanella, grilled red onion and pickled peaches, or seared day-boat Scituate scallops with wheat berries, corn, zucchini, and piquillo "sorfrito." Over at Boston's Commonwealth Hotel, Sewall's Island Creek Oyster Bar has a direct relationship with fishermen, and just-caught seafood is the star as it is at his neighborhood restaurant Row 34. And at brasserie Eastern Standard, where he's the collaborating chef, he's got Euro standards like mussels Provençal and bratwurst with rösti on the menu.
Sewall got the taste for just-from-the-water Atlantic seafood during childhood summers spent on the Maine coast. But it was a few years before he'd return to it as a chef. After graduating with honors from the Culinary Institute of America, and doing a European tour, he cooked at French-inspired Boston restaurant L'Espalier (where he also met his future wife, Lisa, who was then pastry chef). At Bradley Ogden's acclaimed Lark Creek Inn, in Larkspur, California, Sewall was rapidly promoted to chef, and was nominated for the James Beard Rising Star Chef award in 2000 before returning to Boston as executive chef for the opening of Great Bay.
Lisa and Jeremy launched Lineage (its name referring to Sewall's familial roots in Brookline) in 2006, featuring what the Boston Globe called a "fish-centric cuisine that edged into fusion to a resolutely American way of looking at a menu. . . strong on ingredients and light on manipulation." His longstanding relationships with farmers and fisherman have led to Lineage's Whim series of farm dinners. And his sense of community led to his involvement with nonprofit Lovin' Spoonfuls, which distributes to those in need restaurants' healthy, perishable food that would otherwise be discarded. "I'm lucky that I'm in a position to help," says Sewall of his Spoonfuls work, "I do it because it just makes sense."

Q: Add DateInterval's I am trying to add two DateInterval objects together. The DateInterval->add() method does not exist, but I'd like to do something like this:
$interval1 = new DateInterval('PT2H47M13S');
$interval2 = new DateInterval('PT4H19M22S');

$interval1->add($interval2);

echo $interval1->format('%hh %im %ss');

Results in: 7h 6m 35s
I understand I can create a new class that extends the DateInterval class and write the method for adding the 2 together myself. But, the DateInterval objects I am using are coming from the return value of date_diff().  So unless there is someway to convert the DateInterval object cleanly into the extended class, I'm not sure what to do.

When Xi Jinping Went To Moscow: The Shifting Logic Of China-Russia Relations
The two world powers and BRICS nations enjoy friendly relations, and both have an interest in expanding economic and political links. Still, there is another big player always looming.
Putin and Xi Jinping at their meeting Friday.
Chen Qin
CAIXINMEDIA Geopolitics China Sources Countries
Xi Jinping has embarked on his first foreign tour as China's new President, with state visits in Russia, Tanzania, South Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo. He will also attend the fifth meeting of leaders of the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) in Durban, South Africa this week.
For China's leaders, their first foreign destination is usually their big neighbor to the west. Mao Zedong in 1949, Liu Shaoqi in1960, Hu Jintao in 2003 -- all chose Moscow as their first stop. As for Deng Xiaoping after his comeback in 1978, it was Myanmar and for Hu Yaobang in 1983 it was Japan.
However, a Chinese leader's first foreign destination can be determined by particular factors of the moment as well. For instance, when Jiang Zeming first went abroad as head of the state, it was the United States where he first set his feet mainly because he was there to attend the Asian-Pacific APEC summit.
Compared with general overseas activities, a first visit attracts particular attention because it's an important window for the new leader to communicate, domestically and internationally, both his diplomatic direction and strategic stance.
After his second election, President Obama elected Thailand, Myanmar and Cambodia as his first destinations, and attended the East Asia summit. It implies that the Asia-Pacific will be at America's diplomatic strategic core in the coming four years. After his return to the Kremlin last year, Vladimir Putin's first round of intensive overseas visits included China and Belarus, which are traditionally friendly with Russia, but also Western countries such as Germany and France. This shows that he is taking into account both the East and the West in his foreign policy.
The reasons why President Xi chose Russia and Africa for his first visits are in part caused by the scheduling needs to attend the BRIC summit, but it also reflects new thinking in Chinese foreign policy: Beijing is starting from a pragmatic stance, with a focus on peripheral diplomacy.
As neighboring big powers, China and Russia's mutual needs are not based on sharing similar core values. Apart from some shared history, the two countries have little in common. In the past two decades, the two have got along in quite a cautious way, neither particularly close nor alienated from one another. They respect one another, while at the same time each goes its own way.
Russia and China are obviously complimentary economically. However, the level of bilateral economic and trade development are not commensurate. The two countries' cooperation in the international arena mainly occurs at the political level, and this very often is not for bilateral reasons but rather because of their similar responses to a third party.
Both keep an eye on Washington
The United States is conducting a high profile return to the Asia-Pacific region. China is gradually becoming strong in East Asia. The regional situation is increasingly tense. Affected by territorial disputes on South China Sea islands and the Diaoyu Islands, China's relations with its neighboring countries are getting cool -- and even downright cold. This context highlights the interest China has in maintaining a stable relationship with Russia.
With China facing increasing pressure from both Asian-Pacific and European countries, as well as America, Russia to a certain extent is backing China's foreign policy. Both countries have also held a similar line in the United Nations Security Council on the Libyan and Syrian issues.
Russia's needs of China is even more apparent. Part of the pull is China's economy, and President Putin expressly stated that Russia's "economic sail" is to ride on the "Chinese wind." But Putin is also drawn to China to balance America's influence in the region.
The starting point of Sino-Russian cooperation is pragmatism. The strategic convergence of the two nations remains mostly on paper. There exist many differences between the two nations.
Nevertheless, because both countries don't expect much from the other, they will be more positive about the fruits of cooperation, and will try better to improve relations. However, there is still a long road to travel for the two countries to forge a bona fide strategic partnership based on mutual trust and political will.
Moreover, the significance of a head of state's first foreign visit is not to be exaggerated. For China in the long term Sino-American relations are still the most important of all. On his visit to the United States in February 2012 prior to his election as China's leader, Xi Jinping's attracted great attention from American government, business and academic circles as well as the media. At his first press conference, Li Keqiang, China's new Prime Minister, mentioned many times the word "interests" when he was evoking Sino-US relations. He stated that as long as interests are talked about, there will be common ground and convergence.
"As long as we respect each other's major concerns and control our differences the common interests will transcend the divergence," he said.

DÜSSELDORF — The last party at the Berghain nightclub in Berlin lasted from Saturday evening until Monday morning. On the first weekend of December, some clubbers lined up for nine hours outside the former power plant – and still didn't make it past the doormen. A friend said that dancing in the most famous techno club in the world on its last evening was like landing a spot in the last lifeboat to leave the sinking Titanic on 14 April 1912.
It is surely a coincidence that the first comprehensive exhibition charting the 100-year history of electronic music in Germany opened in the same week that nightclubs across the country were forced to close. It wasn't planned that way, but it's like opening an exhibition about the cultural history of alcohol the day after the introduction of prohibition.
Since the start of the pandemic, wild parties have been a rarity, drinking has been done behind closed doors and spontaneity has been consigned to the history books. It has become more and more difficult, and less satisfying, to experience electronic music in its natural habitat. Where before it could be a spur-of-the-moment decision, now it requires careful planning. In order to avoid closures, Berlin's nightclubs offered to make it a requirement for all partygoers to show negative PCR tests – but the city authorities turned them down.
No more anonymity
Maybe it's better that way. The anonymity of nightlife has already been destroyed. In October 120 clubbers who had attended the Berghain's gay sex club Lab.oratory received a message from the Kreuzberg Health Office notifying them that they were close contacts of a COVID-positive person who had also been present. Due to an error by a staff member, the men's (women are not allowed to attend the Lab) email addresses were all visible to the other recipients. A night of partying in supposed anonymity landed them in a data protection nightmare.
Are we witnessing the end of uninhibited nightlife? How long can clubs survive under such extreme pressure? Was everything better in the past? And what exactly do we mean by "everything?" The exhibition "Electro — from Kraftwerk to Techno" at the Museum Kunstpalast in Düsseldorf traces the history of a cultural phenomenon that has had a significant impact on our society.
If you can remember it clearly, you probably weren't doing it right
It looks back to the 1920s, to the invention of the electronic Croix Sonore, the ethereophone and the theremin, which is played through hand movements without any physical contact with the instrument, and through the 1930s and the invention of the Trautonium, an early version of a synthesizer.
The bulky, newly installed ventilation ducts and railings and the high-vis jackets worn by workers in the museum courtyard give off the right vibes. People waiting to get into Berlin's clubs queued alongside these kinds of railings and high-vis was a popular outfit choice at raves in the '90s. But of course that is pure coincidence.

A multi-sensory experience
The curators have installed scaffolding inside the museum's blocky architecture. Within the square spaces created, 500 exhibits are presented against a black background with low lighting, synthesizers, photographs, record sleeves, illustrations, artworks, videos and interactive installations. And then there is the constant background noise. Star DJ Laurent Garnier has put together multiple playlists that allow visitors to travel through the major techno cities of the world.
Sometimes this music is distracting, for example when you have to put on headphones to watch videos with soundtracks. It is telling that the curators didn't dare put on a techno exhibit in a silent museum space. Of course they could bring together all available artifacts, but the experience itself is much more difficult to recreate. If you can remember it clearly, you probably weren't doing it right.
But still, they have made a brave effort. The show was created at the Musée de la Musique in Paris then moved to London. The exhibition has been expanded again, and Düsseldorf is a good place for it to finish its run. In the late 1970s, the city was a breeding ground for German punk and New Wave: How could we talk about techno without mentioning D.A.F. (the influential German electropunk band)? As visitors to the exhibition will learn, the first studio in the world dedicated to electronic music was established in Cologne in 1951. In the 1960s, Nam June Paik and Karlheinz Stockhausen made experimental music in the WDR studio.
Perhaps more importantly, in 1970, Kraftwerk (Germany's answer to the Beatles) set up the Kling-Klang-Studio in Düsseldorf. Their signature lifelike android faces stare down at visitors, now and then moving ever so slightly. Then you pass into a sterile-looking room and put on a pair of 3D glasses to watch a video of a VW Beetle and a Mercedes driving on the spotless German motorway: "Drive, drive, drive."

Tech is man's best friend
Ralf Hütter, the only remaining founding member of Kraftwerk, was involved in putting the show together. The band's work embodies what "Electro" seeks to prove: that technology is humankind's best friend. As co-curator Alain Bieber writes in the exhibition catalog, "Out of the rubble of the Second World War, a new science fiction was born, a utopian idea and a futuristic aesthetic, which brought with it the hope of an entirely new culture, a harmonious fusion of man and machine."
It should come as no surprise that this phenomenon was mainly centered on the highly industrialized, innovative Rhineland area of Germany. Lab and club went hand in hand. Kraftwerk used computers to create sounds; they remained cool and distanced – and still managed to work crowds up into a frenzy.
It's easy to preserve a temple, but to live like an ancient Roman? That takes courage.
On the one hand, "Electro" is concerned with the historical and material aspects of electronic music, while on the other it attempts to recreate magical social spaces such as the Paradise Garage or the Hacienda, using flyers, photos, grainy videos and artifacts. Daft Punk's helmets looked more striking in action than they do as relics laid out for inspection. While techno has been described as soulless, it's clear from this exhibition that it has the potential to create highly individual experiences. It is made up of repeated sounds, and yet the unrepeatable performances transform it into something utterly unique.
But without the performance, without the bodies, it doesn't work. While techno clubs were and still are often safe spaces, where people of color and LGBTQI+ people can feel welcome, that doesn't mean they stood for abstention and strictness: in fact, quite the opposite. The artist Philip Topolovac understood that. His enigmatic work "Vedute (Berghain)" shows the exterior of the Kraftwerk building. At the time it was created, the club was still active, but he depicts it as an 18th-century artist would paint an ancient ruin, as a relic of the past. It's easy to preserve a temple, but to live like an ancient Roman? That takes courage.

There were plenty of firsts for the Spartans during the girls' golf team's inaugural season.
It was the first time six of the squad's 15 players had ever even picked up golf clubs, but La Cañada High still qualified for the CIF Southern Section Northern Division playoffs for the first time.
Unfortunately for La Cañada, it was unable to keep the magic of its regular season going into the postseason. The team's playoff drive ended in the first round Oct. 27 at Soule Park in Ojai.
"It was the first time any of us had ever been to the playoffs, besides Jennifer [Kim]," Coach Rich Wheeler said. "It was the first time most of our team had played 18 holes, and we were the first team in five years to apply for an at-large bid."
La Cañada tied with La Reina for 14th out of 24 teams in the tournament with a team score of 466. The top-four finishers on the day, Torrance (374), Palos Verdes (392), Hart (395) and Sherman Oaks Notre Dame Sherman (401), each advanced to the CIF finals.
"I looked around during the playoffs and thought, 'What is La Cañada doing with these schools,' " Wheeler said. "These are all huge schools and here we are with our six little players in our little car doing our thing. It brought us closer together as a team and we got hungrier."
The Spartans managed an 18-hole scoring average of 77.6 in the playoffs, five shots over par at Soule Park's par-72 scores. Kim, a sophomore, led the Spartans as usual, shooting a 79. Teammate Melissa Leo, a freshman, had an 85, sophomore May Lo scored a 93, junior Caitlin Perry had a 100, senior Kelly Barnes had a 101 and junior Shannon Lee had a 110.
La Cañada accepted an invitation to join the Pacific League on Friday, after spending the first season as an independent team. The league is composed of Arcadia, Burbank, Burroughs, Crescenta Valley and San Marino.
"I think it's going to be a good move for us," Wheeler said. "It's going to be a lot tougher."
The first girls' golf season may be in the books for La Cañada, but the future is bright.
"I'm amazed at how good our team is for the first year," Lee said. "I think we can definitely make a lot of improvements for next year; not only score-wise, but growing as a team."
Only Barnes is leaving the varsity squad next year.
"Everyone is coming back next year and they've all been to the playoffs now," Wheeler said. "We're feeling excellent about the future; we're already talking about it."
Kim and Leo, the team's two stars, who boasted 18-hole scoring averages of 77.2 and 78.4, respectively this year, will return to the team in 2011 with hopes of fuelling a longer playoff drive.
"Because the team is so young, I think they have a good shot at doing really well in future years," Barnes said. "Almost all of the junior varsity team is made up of freshman and they're all going to get better and improve. I see them having a great future and I am glad I could at least be a part of them starting up."
Wheeler is quick to push any praise regarding the undefeated regular season to his team.
"Once the girls tasted victory you could see them pull together," Wheeler said. "The kids got hungry toward the end and were just overpowering some schools."
La Cañada will strive to do this all for a second time in 2011.
"Can we live up to the standard we set this year?" Wheeler said. "That's the challenge we're going to have next year."

Starting a Publishing Business in Singapore
August 6, 2019 by Easy Buy Sell Business in Blog
How to Start a Publishing Business in Singapore – Know Basic Guidelines Here
As a developed nation that is highly invested in its people and workforce, Singapore has one of the highest literacy rates in the world. There is a continuous demand for high-quality publications and publishing business in Singapore. This includes newspapers, books, magazines, periodicals and more.
These factors are just some of the reasons that Singapore is an ideal publication hub. One reason is because of how easy it is to set up a business. The country is thriving with both international and local publication companies.
What Licenses Do You Need to Start a Publishing Business in Singapore?
Thinking about setting up a publishing business in Singapore? These are some of the types of licenses that you're going to need to start your venture:
Newspaper permits. The Media Development Authority of Singapore, also known as the MDA, requires these permits. If your business is involved in printing or publishing newspapers in Singapore, this is the license that you must have. This license is a must for businesses who are planning to sell and distribute offshore newspapers in Singapore. For example, if you were to sell a Malaysian newspaper in Singapore, you can't do it if you don't have this license.
Printing press license. If you're planning to operate a press service to print any publication, you should need this license. These include, for example, newspapers and magazines in Singapore. You can acquire this license from the Registrar of Newspapers. It should be noted, however, that these licenses are non-transferable.
Online publishing license. While no permit is required for the publishing of periodicals, you must still register the business with the Media Development Authority of Singapore if you're an internet provider that is providing online newspapers for a subscription fee. This license is mandatory if your business plans to publish information on the internet.
For the publication of novels or one-off commemorative booklets, you do not need a permit.
The types of licenses you would need would depend on the specific nature of your business. There are times when additional licenses and approvals may be needed.
Starting a Publishing Business
Before any type of business can begin its operations in Singapore, the business or company needs to first and foremost, be incorporated. There is no moving forward and taking the further steps needed if your business isn't first incorporated.
Once that has been taken care of, the next phase would be to ensure the premise you intend to open the business in is suitable and has the necessary approval needed before business can commence.
And aside from getting the necessary licences and permits to run and operate the business, you would also need to source for the right staff to fill the roles within the business. Unless you have suitable candidates already in mind, this part of the process could potentially take up quite a bit of time.
Starting a business is a lot of hard work, but enlisting the help of professional services and experts at it can help to make the process a much smoother transaction. 3E Accounting is more than ready to help you take that next step towards starting your own publishing company.

Rurima Island is a small island in the Bay of Plenty, off New Zealand's North Island. The island is the largest of the Rurima Rocks, with the smaller Moutoki and Tokata Islands lying about  east and west respectively.

Located approximately  west of Moutohora Island and  northwest from the mouth of the Rangitaiki River, the Rurima Rocks are an uninhabited nature reserve owned by the Ngāti Awa iwi. Kiore (Polynesian Rat) were eradicated in the 1980s, and Moutoki Island has long been an outpost for tuatara. The closest settlement is Thornton, about  upstream from the mouth of the Rangitaiki.

Rurima Island is about  long, with two bays and sandy beaches on the northwest side. A wide shallow reef, almost a lagoon, stretches north from the pohutukawa-covered island. Snorkelling, diving and kayaking are popular activities here. The wreck of the SS Tasman, holed on the southwest reef in 1912, lies nearby. There is some geothermal activity on and near the islands.

I first met Elif Shafak in 2000, at the dawn of her literary career, whose success few could have predicted at the time. It was my second year at Bilgi, a liberal-arts university in Istanbul where she worked as a lecturer. Although she was a familiar face for students, Shafak was little known beyond the borders of the university. She was an ethereal presence in the university corridors, and it was her silence that defined Shafak more than anything else. Nowadays her voice has international reach; back then she was more of a listener. I used to see her at the cafeteria, where she drank a cup of Turkish coffee after classes. Fellow academics and students would talk to her. She would often be on the receiving end, observing the conversation as if from a distance.
One day in September 2001 I went to Shafak's office in order to register for the Romantic poetry course. It was taught by a professor she was assisting. After taking note of my name and student number, she said there was a problem with the computer system, but she would make sure I got a place in the class. (I did.) Before leaving the room, I recognized how small it seemed when compared to the size and ambition of its inhabitant. She seemed out of place in an academic setting.
Shafak's third novel, The Gaze, became a favorite among critics when it was published, in 1999. Her tale about an overweight woman and her lover, a dwarf, questioned the moralistic gaze of Turkish society. Her 2002 book, The Flea Palace, read like a book by Georges Perec: it chronicled the lives of an apartment's inhabitants in a cosmopolitan neighborhood of Istanbul.
In Arabic, elif is the first letter of the alphabet. In Turkish, şafak means "dawn." When Shafak began to use the Anglicized version of her surname and started writing books in English, some Turkish readers were offended. But overall hers had been one of the most successful Turkish literary careers in recent times, perhaps surpassed only by the Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk.
I met Shafak in a fancy restaurant in Istanbul's Bebek neighborhood thirteen years after our initial encounter at the university. The restaurant was adjacent to the apartment where the great German philologist Erich Auerbach lived during his exile, in the 1930s and '40s, and wrote his masterpiece, Mimesis. Her schedule was very busy, but we spoke for nearly two hours. She carefully listened to my questions before answering them with her trademark energy.
THE BELIEVER: Your first book of stories came out in 1994. You were twenty-two. What was your idea of a writer's life back then?
ELIF SHAFAK: All I wanted was to write and to keep on writing. While writing my first novel, Pinhan, I felt as if a story was boiling inside my head. I just needed to bring it out. I was more focused on my writing than on what it meant to be a published author in Turkey. Writing had been a continuous activity for me. It was the only existential glue that kept my pieces together. I found questions about authorship rather confusing. One should avoid them for as long as possible.

Sawi Series: So Jollibee, What Happens After Heartbreak?
Alcuin Papa on how Jollibee's tearjerking commercials stirred up frustrations on the difficulties of loving someone.
By Alcuin Papa | Feb 11, 2017
IMAGE Jollibee
Valentine's Day is when you're most aware of your loved ones—not just of your significant other, but of your family, friends, the people around you. But it also makes you fully realize the love that you don't have. Hence, our Sawi Series, which we are dedicating to the other, less promulgated side of the love parade. Taking our cue from Alain de Botton's The Consolations of Philosophy (2000), writer Alcuin Papa talks about the post-heartbreak they don't always show in popular media.
"The day I tried to live,
I wallowed in the blood and mud
With all the other pigs"
-Soundgarden
So, dear reader, unless you've been off the grid, hiding under a rock or avoiding the internet for the past two days, I will assume you've seen those Valentine's Day ads of a particular fast-food chain. The one that features a wedding is my favorite. But a thought occurred to me after I saw it the third time (okay call me a softie): what did the guy who got friendzoned, that poor unfortunate soul, do AFTER the wedding? Did he get piss-drunk with friends? Did he curl up in one corner and sobbed his heart away?
A part of me wants to slap him silly and scream "YOU DID ALL OF THAT FOR NOTHING?!" Another part of me wants to console him with "That's fine and dandy old chap. It wasn't mean to be." And another part of me truly wishes he would get on properly with his life.
Tasting the pain of heartbreak means you know you are alive.
The anatomy of each heartbreak is essentially the same. It starts off with a sort of cold, dark ennui creeping into one, or worse, both of the parties. Then there is the inordinate interest in the opposite sex. Leading to the inevitable break-up confrontation, usually an ugly affair, characterized by much wailing and gnashing of teeth by one or both parties. Rare is the break-up that goes smoothly.
What follows almost immediately are various forms of behavior that may be characterized as destructive, like partying with wild abandon accompanied by but not limited to copious amounts of alcohol, romps in the sack, some with total strangers (the lesser you recognize them the morning after, the better), others with slight acquaintances, Then there's also the change in your relationship with food. Either you eat too little, or too much. There will also be incessant self-doubt, a firm conviction that it was your partner's fault, then later an acceptance that maybe it was yours. In which case, guilt kicks in.
At one point, the question arises: when is this self-flagellation and destructive behavior going to stop and how do I get off this train wreck?
In Alain de Botton's reflections on difficulties contained in his popular Consolations of Philosophy, he discusses Nietzsche's ideas on facing life's difficulties in aptly titled chapter "Consolations for Difficulties." Nietzsche posited that to rise above mediocrity, we must first experience pain on the way to fulfillment.
De Botton writes: "No one is able to produce a great work of art without experience, nor achieve a worldly position immediately, nor be a great lover at first attempt; and in the interval between initial failure and subsequent success, in the gap between who we wish one day to be and who we are at present, must come pain, anxiety, envy and humiliation. We suffer because we cannot spontaneously master the ingredient of fulfillment." To reach or attain something of great value in life, we must be ready to suffer.
Nietzsche, who himself was a victim of several heartbreaks, wished suffering on his friends and those he loved: "To those human beings who are of any concern to me, I wish suffering, desolation, sickness, ill treatment, indignities—I wish that they should not remain unfamiliar with profound self-contempt, the torture of self-mistrust, the wretchedness of the vanquished."
De Botton posits that Nietzsche came upon his reflections on difficulties while scaling one of the mountains near his home, which includes the Piz Corvatsch. A five-hour trek greeted the philosopher. But at the summit, Nietzsche found fulfillment in the stillness of the mountain's peak.
Tasting the pain of heartbreak means you know you are alive. None of us wants to revel in the pain. It doesn't seem to be part of human nature, probably because wallowing in the mud of what Nietzsche calls mediocrity is anathema to our existence. There is an innate, built-in instinct to rise above mediocrity towards fulfillment. Truly, when you are down, the only way to go is up.
What we do to elevate ourselves from the mediocrity is the key.
It's really how we choose to spend our time living, struggling against pain, moving towards fulfillment, that really matters. Time is but an aid, a means to an end.
Time healing all wounds seems an illusion. It's really how we choose to spend our time living, struggling against pain, moving towards fulfillment, that really matters. Time is but an aid, a means to an end.
And so with any luck, once we get past the difficult pain of heartbreak and assuming we are still alive, we live and we reflect. And then we give love another try, knowing fully well the risk of another heartbreak. The pain of past heartbreaks prepare you for the fulfillment that love may bring. We can be slaves to love. But first, we must be masters of our destinies.
In a way, we should welcome the pain of heartbreak. After all, as Nietzsche himself once wrote, that which does not kill us, makes us stronger.
So back to Mr. Friendzoned in the fastfood ad. Indeed, he has become the symbol of love's frustrations. His id and ego is sucked into a vortex of his Other, banging and clashing with the Other's id and ego. And when the Other is gone, the vortex dissipates, leaving a howling emptiness. Hopefully over time and after much struggle, this painful emptiness transitions into an stillness where we may find fulfillment.
Pass the catsup.

What Pageturners Lounge won't be; Grandmother's and Godfather's (in the column); Jake Bellows tonight…
Category: Blog — Tags: Bob Kerrey, Conor Oberst, Herman Cain, Pageturners Lounge, Phil Schaffart — @ 12:25 pm August 23, 2012
by Tim McMahan, Lazy-i.com
There was buzz at Saturday night's Digital Leather/Agent Orange show about what's going on at Pageturners Lounge, the new bar owned and operated by Conor Oberst and Phil Schaffart located right next to Goldberg's on 50th and Dodge. Scuttlebutt is that they've been hiring staff and are preparing to open very soon. Schaffart confirmed both rumors yesterday, saying they're hoping for an early-mid September opening, and have indeed done some hiring.
I took the opportunity to try to pin Schaffart down on what style of bar Pageturners will be. Will the menu focus on hoity-toity craft cocktails? Nope. OK, well will you be trying to emulate the style (and success) of Benson's Krug Park with a million beers on tap? Nope again. More details could be forthcoming when Schaffart and Oberst get back from the Desaparecidos tour, which starts Saturday in Seattle. Until then, click on over to the Pageturners Lounge Facebook page and give it a "like."
In the column this week: What do Bob Kerrey and Herman Cain have in common? Both played a role in destroying some very precious teenage food memories. Read about it in this week's issue of The Reader, or online right here.
Everyone's favorite troubadour/singer-songwriter/good guy Jake Bellows (ex-Omahan, ex-Neva Dinova) takes the stage at O'Leaver's tonight with Sam Martin (Capgun Coup) and Reagan Roeder. Plus, PBR & Grainbelt bottles for a $1. Get messed up and sing along! $5, 9:30 p.m.

The Godfather's in 85 miles west in Columbus still makes it the way it was meant to be. They are one of (2) locations in the US that still makes it that way, the other is a small town somewhere in Ohio.
Due to Columbus being among the earliest franchised locations for the restaurant, they weren't binded by the same rules as the newer one's that have been opening up since the 80s.
