Track Women Enjoy Balanced Meet
INDIANA, Pa. - The Juniata College men\'s and women\'s track and field teams continue to show promising signs in the second week of the outdoor season as the Eagles managed two strong performances against a field that included Division I and Division II opponents at the Western PA Championships at Indiana University (Pa.) Saturday. The men finished seventh among the 13-team field, while the women placed eighth out of 12 teams. On the women\'s side, the Eagles again had several strong efforts with the team earning five top-six efforts. On the track, Lia Bella (Morris Catholic/Rockaway, N.J.) ran to fourth-place in the 5,000 with a time of 19:42.49. Also placing fourth on the day was Cassie Majocha (Burrell/Upper Burrell) who ran a time of 1:09.40 to cross the line fourth in the 400 hurdles. Lauren Gates (Bishop Guilfoyle/Altoona) added a sixth place finish with a time of 42:08.61 in the 10,000. In the field events, Kelsey Buffenmyer (Donegal/Mount Joy) twice finished in the top six. She was second in the high jump, clearing 1.62 meters to earn that finish. She was also fourth in the long jump, with a best jump of 4.99 meters. Juniata picked up a pair of wins on the men\'s side as senior Randy Anderson (DuBois/DuBois) returned to action and claimed wins in two events. He won the 100 in a time of 11.01, and then also posted a victory in the long jump with a leap of 6.70 meters. The Juniata men added several other top-six performances on the day. Tripp Rudolph (Upper St. Clair/Pittsburgh) ran a time of 4:08.09 which was good for sixth place in the 1,500. Matthew Bailey (Hempfield/East Petersburg) matched his sixth-place effort in the 10,000 with a time of 33:37.09. T.J. Breya (East Juniata/McClure) placed fifth in the 400 hurdles in a time of 57.82. Off the track it was another excellent day for the Juniata throwers. With a 16th-place finish in the hammer throw freshman Ryan Johnson (Crestwood/Mountaintop) broke the school record in the hammer throw with a toss of 35.18 meters which broke a record established in 2005. Kyle Mazur (Morris Catholic/Ogdensburg, N.J.) was also strong on the day as he placed sixth in the javelin with a throw of 53.99 meters. Johnson also established a new personal best in the javelin, improving on his previous best by more than 13 feet. Juniata will be back in action on Wednesday with a meet at Elizabethtown College featuring several conference opponents. ###


The story of a blossoming woman stuck in a lifeless marriage in a provincial French backwater certainly has the potential to speak to modern audiences as both an early feminist drama and a biting social critique of bourgeois narrowness.
Begin there in thinking about the latest adaptation of Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary, a semi-successful attempt to transfer Flaubert to the screen.
Bored and filled with inchoate romantic longing, newly married Emma Bovary tries to divert herself with wanton material acquisitions (fine dresses and fancy furnishings) that mire her in debt. She also engages in affairs that she hopes will provide an escape route from her country-doctor husband, a decent fellow of simple tastes and limited ambition.
There's no faulting the production values that director Sophie Barthes brings to the task of adapting Flaubert for the screen. Working with cinematographer Andrij Parekh, Barthes creates the feeling of isolation and monotony that awaits Emma on the dawn of each day, the numbing emptiness of life at the bottom rungs of the middle class.
Given the standard of her time, Emma is supposed to be happy to have a husband and provider, but she's reluctant to resign herself to a compromised existence far from the civilities of Rouen, the city that beckons and taunts her with its opera and high culture.
The screenplay by Barthes and co-writer Felipe Marino must make omissions and condensations, and although I haven't read Madame Bovary since college, it struck me that Barthes and Marino have done a defensible job of focusing Flaubert's story for the screen. Flaubert devotees may disagree, particularly when it comes to the omission of Emma's child.
In this edition, Emma Bovary is played by Mia Wasikowska, whom I think only intermittently fixes our attention. Some reviewers have pointed out that Wasikowska is perfect for the role because she makes no effort to elicit our sympathies. Still, Wasikowska's performance can be seen as a study in only sporadic connection.
Employing a variety of accents and styles, the supporting cast acquits itself well enough.
In a generally subdued atmosphere, Rhys Ifans stands out as Monsieur Lheureux, a merchant who senses Emma's vulnerability, sells her as much luxury merchandise as possible (on credit) and then pushes her into a ruinous, debt-riddled corner.
As Charles Bovary, Henry Lloyd-Hughes plays a character who, by definition, is a bit of a cipher. Ezra Miller portrays Leon, a youthful law student who falls for Emma. Under different circumstances, he would have made a good match for her.
Emma initially rebuffs Leon. She does, however, have an affair with the disreputable Marquis d'Anderveilliers (Logan Marshall-Green). Of course, Emma expects too much of the relationship.
Paul Giamatti brings his usual avidity and a bit of grubbiness to the role of Monsieur Homais, an ambitious pharmacist who pushes Dr. Bovary into performing a supposedly ground-breaking operation on poor, club-footed villager. The operation, of course, does not go well.
Not without its virtues, Madame Bovary dwells on Emma's suffocating provincial surroundings, perhaps to emphasize that the constraints of her rote existence have alienated her from her natural self.
If Barthes succeeds in creating a plausible 19th century environment, she also manages to dull the movie's edge. The damp streets and uninviting interiors aren't enough to carry the day.
By the end, I felt as if I were re-familiarizing myself with elements of Flaubert's plot without penetrating the agonizing and acutely observant heart of a great story.


There is no fee for attending this event. This event is open to all TriState units.
The Advisory Board meeting will consist of discussions about the past season and to discuss proposals. NO DISCUSSION OF PROPOSALS WILL OCCUR DURING THE SPRING MEETING.
At the 2014 Spring Meeting a proposal was passed to establish an advisory board for each of the divisions, Guard, Winds and Percussion. Representatives on those advisory boards consist of all division units including the class medalists at circuit championships in each respective divisions.
The advisory board will meet to discuss the past season in order to communicate with their representatives and to discuss proposals. This will help streamline related proposal discussions for the general meeting as well as allowing TMA Guard, Percussion & Winds Representatives an opportunity to speak first hand with the top directors in the circuit.
The Advisory Board meeting is scheduled for Sunday April 28th starting at 1:30pm with the Spring General Meeting to begin following the Advisory Board meeting. The Spring general membership meeting to elect the board of directors for the next year as well as voting on all proposals from the Advisory board and both are completed at the spring meeting scheduled to be held the same day.
There will be no discussion on proposals at the Spring General Meeting. All discussion on proposals will take place at the Advisory Board Meeting only.
No units have registered for this event.

9. GTA San Andreas 5 – Controversial Best PS2 Game
Admit it, who misses playing this game. GTA San Andreas 5 is indeed the best PS2 game that is not only enjoyed by Indonesian gamers, but also worldwide.
However, this game can't be separated from controversy. But the cool casing and the fun game environment make most gamers feel at home playing.

In addition to the VS battle menu, you can also practice alone or use career mode. Choose your favorite character and see where they are in action when your mana is full!
No wonder this game has become a separate icon for Activision.
11. Black – Best PS2 Shooter Game
Now is the time for the battlefield on PCs and smartphones, right? A little bit of PUBG Mobile, Free Fire, or Fortnite and CSGO.
In the past, not many people knew these games. In the past, there was a lot of playing Black on PS 2. This game made by EA Games has reaped several achievements because of its destructive sound environment.
So, you can't stay camping in a house or building for a long time. You see, there are elements that can explode like a gas tank, to a nuclear furnace.
In addition, you will be faced with enemies who are shooting at you from all directions. Their weapons are also no joke! Heavyweight snipers with one-shot-one-kill power, assault rifles to shotguns that can knock your legs off!
The cool thing is, in some scenes you have to kill the enemy quietly so that the chaos doesn't explode. You see, in that scene you are a single player.
Each scene also has different weapons that you use, such as UZI, MP5, Colt M16, to Walter 2000! If you run out of amo, just throw it away and use the enemy's weapon that you killed!
12. Call of Duty 2: Big Red One
Treyach is very popular with the Call of Duty shooter game that was released by Activision, right? Only the original, there is the Call of Duty 2: Big Red One series which has gone viral before.
If you study history, you will definitely understand that this game was originally about the world war between the US or America against Nazi Germany in North Africa. The main characters include Roland Roger, Cap. Bloomfield 'Brooklyn', Hawkin, Capt. Delaney, as well as PVP. Smith.
Not only Germany, but also other axis countries such as Italy and France that have joined the axis wings.
The cool thing is, this game is wrapped with a very scorching death drama. You can also feel the sensation of vehicle weapon war which makes this game even more exciting!
13. Winning Eleven
I don't know what Konami management has in mind, so he can think of a game that will become the best PS2 game of all time?
Yep, Winning Eleven is one of the most played games single or together with friends. Besides being able to play together, you can also choose from a variety of exciting menus. For example, just like the Cup, League, to the Master League.
The cool thing is, you can edit the player's abilities and skills at will, then save the edits on the memory card. In the past, there were a lot of people whose abilities were replaced by all 99. So, it is certain that your opponent will be defeated!
Even so, many say that Winning Eleven is a bit imaginary. You see, the game is made fast-paced, so it feels like it's going really fast to the goal. Then, the kick is also super hard!
14. PES – Best PS2 Soccer Game
Realizing his shortcomings in Winning Eleven, Konami expanded into Pro Evolution Soccer or more popularly known as PES. The graphics are also really cool with almost the same face and physique as the original.
In addition, you can also access the same menu as Winning Eleven. In fact, in this series, you can play a menu called Become a Legend, where you will have a football career.
First, you will play for a team that is not very popular. Those matches that get you up to the premier league based on the league you choose.
In addition, you can also export and import players if there are transfer rumors but your game hasn't been updated yet!
The graphics, environment, and skills that are close to real are why PES is the best PS2 game and shifts Winning Eleven.
15. NFS Most Wanted Black Edition
Need For Speed Most Wanted Black Edition is the best and most exciting PS2 racing game where you can feel the sensation of being chased by the police because of a wild race. The cool thing is, this game has succeeded in combining CGI and live action.
The mission, you must beat 15 blacklists. It's tough but very challenging! You see, each racer on the blacklist has different skills. Some invite drag, some drift, until some sprint!
You have to fight to meet the requirements in the form of bounties, milestones to the number of racing you have to follow just to face the Blacklist.
Cool graphics, blaring sound effects (especially the cool rock soundtrack) and satisfying gameplay, able to sell 16 million copies worldwide.
So, don't be surprised if this game is nominated for the best PS2 game of all time.
16. NFS Underground 2
This is the NFS series before Most Wanted Black Edition. So, the graphics are still pure CGI. Just so you know, this game is a bonus series from Burnout 3: Takedown, a fun crash game.
This is where the SUV was introduced to the gaming world for the first time. Then, you can also make modifications as you wish and have no effect on the performance of your engine. In fact, this visual design is a requirement for you to be able to move up to a higher level.
In addition to the exterior design, you can also customize the engine, such as nitro, suspension, to engine mods. So, your car will be more agile and stable.
In this game, you can also enter the Underground Racing League and Street X modes which are no less exciting than the career menu.
After all, I miss the PS2 days. Indeed, the graphics are not as perfect as Android games or games on PS4. However, the story and the nostalgia are what make it happen.
Oh yeah, if you like genres that are quite heavy, you can try the best strategy games, right. You see, on PS2 there are very few games of this genre.
So, maybe this is it for now, let's share this time. Don't miss our latest update about the digital world and technology.

The fishing in the Karlskrona Archipelago has been really good the last week, and pictured above are head guide Daniel Wickman with a 10+ fish. Read more at their blog here >>>, and also note the opening day of the camp; 19 march.
- Use barbless, single hooks as much as possible or flatten the barb.
- Use a long-nosed pliers for easy hook removal.
- Bring the fish in as quickly as possible to avoid over-exhaustion.
- Use equipment & line/tippet strong enough to land the fish quickly.
- Use a net with a soft, knotless, cotton mesh, or rubber net.
- Wet your hands before touching the fish, and always grasp it very gently.
- Keep the fish in the net, in the water all the time during the release.
- For a trophy image, make a quick lift out of the water and immediately snap the picture.
- Release the fish in clear, undisturbed water.
- If the fish is exhausted, support it in the water until it swims away.
A new camp is addede to the Sweden Fishing website; Tyttbo Forsfiske. It is located near the Tyttbo rapids in river Nedre Dalälven and offer both fishing for trout and grayling in running water as well as still water fishing for pike, perch and zander in Färnebofjärden.

Tim Keller Shares Encouraging Health Update following Cancer Diagnosis
Milton Quintanilla | Contributor for ChristianHeadlines.com | Thursday, September 3, 2020
#Tim Keller
Reformed theologian and best-selling author Tim Keller recently shared some good news regarding his ongoing fight against pancreatic cancer.
In June, as Christian Headlines previously reported, the popular pastor shared that he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and would undergo immediate treatment.
In a thread of tweets last Friday, Keller thanked believers for their prayers and support as he finished his sixth round of chemotherapy.
"Dear Praying Friends, Kathy & I want to thank you for your many expressions of support, and for your faithfulness in praying for us. We have been acutely aware of those prayers, and God has heard them – As of yesterday, I have finished six rounds of chemo for pancreatic cancer," Keller wrote.
...and, while there are indeed some side effects, my doctor says I'm tolerating the treatment very well. I have not been seriously debilitated and I can still do some work and ministry. 2/5
— Timothy Keller (@timkellernyc) August 28, 2020
He explained that the treatment has been effective in combating the disease, despite having "some side effects." Keller added, however, that he has not been "seriously debilitated" and he is still able to "do some work and ministry."
Keller had recently met with his oncologist to look over scans that were taken last Monday "to assess the effectiveness of the chemotherapy."
"The report is very encouraging," he noted. "There has been shrinkage of the tumors and so we are continuing the chemo in order to diminish the cancer further."
Yesterday we also met with my oncologist to go over the scans taken on Monday to assess the effectiveness of the chemotherapy. The report is very encouraging. There has been shrinkage of the tumors and so we are continuing the chemo in order to diminish the cancer further. 3/5
On a spiritual level, Keller shared that he and his wife Kathy have been seeking God's face like never before.
"He is giving us more of his sensed presence, more freedom from our besetting sins, more dependence on his Word – things that we had sought for years, but only under these circumstances are we finding them," he continued.
"We humbly beg that you all continue your prayers for the effectiveness of the treatment and minimal side effects to accompany it. Your prayers and concern mean more than we can express," the post concluded.
We humbly beg that you all continue your prayers for the effectiveness of the treatment and minimal side effects to accompany it. Your prayers and concern mean more than we can express. Thanks so much!

The slaves were by order freed from servitude and those that looked passably human were brought back to Earth. The others, like Lexx's parents and grandparents took to living on space stations as their world. They can't come to Earth and live and they are generally unwelcome on other worlds fearing an influx of uneducated 'slave' refugees.
It's been a long time since they were slaves, but most races consider the Risha to be an unnecessary plague that they are more than happy to see go extinct." Damian lowered his tone. As much as he liked to talk and as excited as he got while telling someone something, he really did see the treatment the Risha received as unjust. "You see, Chel… they don't live well in the old space station. Nobody wants to assist them and their numbers are dwindling every generation. They need a planet with natural gravity for where they lived, or at least.. upgraded space stations and help.
"I'm.. beginning to feel a headache coming on,.." Lexx murmured, rubbing his hand over his face. He'd heard it before, but to hear it again and in the presence of a human made him feel weird and mixed inside. One side of him, stated it was good for her to know. She would perhaps treat him like a human and not an alien. The other side, only pointed out how much of a freak he was in front of a pure human. That part of him, the part that sought acceptance in such a human desire, tore deeply instead of mended. He didn't see a reason why she would want anything more to do with him with that story. Why did he care? He stopped himself in his thoughts. Why did he care what she thought? He shouldn't care. He wanted her to go away, really badly and the more he wanted her to care, the more he wanted her to go away.

Ferdinand Kerobyan 150 vs Fernando Carcamo 149.6
Luis Feliciano 140 vs Herbert Acevedo 139.2
Vergil Ortiz Jr. (14-0, 14 KOs), WBA Gold Welterweight Champion, hosted a media workout yesterday at Robert Garcia Boxing Academy in Riverside, Calif. ahead of his 12-round fight against Brad "King" Solomon
(28-1, 9 KOs). The fight will take place Friday, Dec. 13 at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, Calif. and will be streamed live as part of fight season on DAZN.
Joshua Franco (15-1-2, 7 KOs) and Hector Tanajara Jr. (18-0, 5 KOs) also participated in the workout as they prepare to return on the undercard of Munguia vs O'Sullivan on Jan. 11 at the Alamodome in San Antonio and also live on DAZN.
Below is what today's participants had to say at the workout:
VERGIL ORTIZ JR., WBA Gold Welterweight Champion:
"I feel like I've really shown that I belong in the top dogs. I feel like people are starting to recognize me a lot more, this was my breakout year and I'm going to break out even more next year. What I know about Brad Solomon, he's a very experienced fighter, he has double the wins that I have. He's crafty, he definitely brings something different to the table than my past fighters you know, he's not going to stay in the ring, he's going to want to make me miss, going to want to stick a move. We haven't seen me fight someone like that in the professionals yet so everyone's going to see how I do against a fighter like that. I'm ready to show people that I can fight any way, if I need to adjust then I can adjust. I haven't had to make those adjustments yet. Some people say that I don't move my head a lot, but I move my head a lot, especially in sparring. The thing is I haven't needed to yet, I haven't needed to do a lot of things in my fights yet because they've ended so early. There's going to be a time when I'm going to need to use everything I have and that's probably going to be one of my greatest fights. My work ethic comes from my dad pushing me this entire time. He's really pushed me to not be satisfied with anything that I do, there's always room for improvement, you can always work harder. A lot of my success has come from my dad."
JOSHUA FRANCO, WBA International and NABF Bantamweight Champion:
"I came to that decision [to change weight] because of the past times that I've fought at 115lbs, I feel like I'm stronger at that weight, I feel like I have more power at that weight. I want to get a world title at 115lb right now, I'll make the weight good with a good diet, and after that I'll move right back up to 118lb and get a title right there. I'm really excited to finally fight in my hometown. I haven't fought there since I was an amateur, so everybody back home is excited to see me. I'm excited myself to put on a great show for my fans and all my family so it's going to be great."
HECTOR TANAJARA JR., WBC USNBC Lightweight Champion:
"I'm ready to take on the next level, I already have 18 fights, it went by fast, but I feel like I'm ready for that next step and for whatever comes in 2020. Training here we're all like a family. We all push each other. I always say sparring is tougher than the fights, that's what makes the fights easy. We push each other in here we see one person going hard and it makes us go harder. If we see one person doing a little more, it makes us do a little more, it's like a family affair. We all push each other naturally. I'm so excited to fight in the Alamodome, it's my hometown. It's the first time fighting back home since I've been pro. I'm really excited and motivated because now my family and friends, they don't have excuses because it's right there in the city so it's going to be a good turnout and I'm just motivated. At this stage of my career, I feel like everything is coming together little by little. I'm going on five years of being pro and I feel like I'm becoming a complete fighter. In these next couple fights it'll show, everything's going to come together, and people are going to be real surprised."
ROBERT GARCIA, Trainer of Ortiz Jr., Franco and Tanajara Jr.:
"Vergil is only 21 so he's a very young fighter but at 21 he already has the strength, the mentality, the experience of a 27-year-old. He's focused on one thing and that's to become a world champion and to beat anybody in front of him. He's one of the, if not the hardest working fighter I have in my gym, including all the world champions. He works his ass off. That's one thing that he was raised to do, since he was a kid with his dad, his dad prepared him for one thing and that's to be great in boxing. Little by little, he's been growing and now he's a professional, now he's ready for any top fighter in the division. It was something his dad brought since they were kids to where they're at now. We don't want to rush him, we want to go fight by fight, especially right now at welterweight, we have to understand that a lot of the champions are fighting for other promotions and the fights are going to be very hard to negotiate. We're not looking for any type of fight right now, we're going fight by fight. if the right fight for a title comes maybe at a different weight division maybe we would consider it, but it would have to be the right fight against the right champion. At welterweight I don't see any champion fighting Vergil in 2020. There's no rush. The fans still haven't seen the best of Vergil Ortiz."

Q: Headline Table of Contents in columns in Beamer I was wondering if anyone knows how to tell Beamer to divide the table of contents in the headline in columns if there are too many sections, else leave it in one column.
I found this thread very useful
Beamer with Warsaw Theme: Two column navigation
However, with this code, the ToC will always show up in two columns, which is not always esthetically pleasing (when there are only 2 sections, for example).
I am working on a customized template for my institution, which is why I need to make it as versatile as possible.
I was thinking of something along the lines of keeping the default \insertsectionnavigation if the height of the table of contents is smaller than or equal to the height of the headline, else divide. But I am having trouble turning this into proper code.
Thank you for your help.

A: Easiest solution is probably to check the total number of sections. If this number is bigger then same value (5 in the example) your custom code is shown, else the normal navigation.
[insert your custom code at "whatever theme you want"]
\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{Warsaw}

\makeatletter
\setbeamertemplate{headline}{%
  \leavevmode%
  \@tempdimb=2.4375ex%
  \ifnum\beamer@subsectionmax<\beamer@sectionmax%
    \multiply\@tempdimb by\beamer@sectionmax%
  \else%
    \multiply\@tempdimb by\beamer@subsectionmax%
  \fi%
  \ifdim\@tempdimb>0pt%
    \advance\@tempdimb by 1.825ex%
    \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.5\paperwidth,ht=\@tempdimb]{section in head/foot}%
      \vbox to\@tempdimb{\vfil%
          \ifnum\beamer@sectionmax<5
              \insertsectionnavigation{.5\paperwidth}%
             \else%
                 whatever theme you want
               \fi%
         \vfil}%

When Gordon Chang '70 arrived at Princeton in 1966, he was one of six students of Asian ancestry in a class of 800. Asian-American studies didn't yet exist as an academic discipline. Even the term "Asian-American" hadn't been coined. Forty years later Asian-American studies is a thriving discipline, and Chang, a professor of American history at Stanford University, is one of its senior scholars. Chang recently spoke with PAW contributor E.B. Boyd '89.
When U.S. history textbooks cover Asian-American history, they typically include events like the building of the transcontinental railroad and the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II, but little else. What are these textbooks leaving out?
The history of discrimination and marginalization of Asian-Americans should take up a larger part of the American narrative. The numbers of people of Asian ancestry coming to America have not been comparable to, say, immigration from Europe. But the energy devoted to Asian exclusion has been an important part of American popular culture, with all sorts of "yellow peril" literature, film, cartoons, and songs.
It's also important if you want to understand the development of American immigration law, practice, and policy. The creation of the Immigration and Naturalization Service was founded on the exclusion of Chinese. The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 culminated decades of anti-Chinese agitation on the West Coast and other parts of the country, which found Chinese undesirable as immigrants and unwanted as part of American citizenry.
That sounds a lot like the immigration debates going on today.
Absolutely. I teach a class called "Introduction to Asian-American History," and the students are just wide-eyed. They say, "The stuff you're talking about from 100 years ago sounds just like today"— how certain immigrants are characterized as undesirable, racialized, marginalized, abused, misused — but also wanted for labor.
Have Asian-Americans gotten the short end of the stick in college admissions? Some research suggests that more would be admitted to universities if affirmative action did not exist.
The position of Asian-Americans in the affirmative-action debate is controversial. When affirmative action began in the 1970s, Asian-Americans were included as "target minorities." Later, Asian-Americans were generally removed from that category, and Asian-American admissions [still] have increased.
Universities have made, on the whole, a credible and admirable effort to become much broader and more diverse in a relatively short period of time ... I think it's to the credit of the institutions that they've tried to do this in the face of widespread hostility to diversity issues.
Has the rise of China been influencing Asian-American studies?
Yes, it has — in good ways and not-so-good ways. There's an increase in people taking Chinese language, and that wouldn't have happened without the rise of China. It's given Chinese-Americans and other Asian-Americans all sorts of opportunities in all sorts of ways. But there's also something that's worrisome, and that's an acute sense of competition and anxiety in America about China and its rise to power. There are all sorts of books now with sensational titles like "The Coming War with China." And certainly, the issue of international tensions, challenges, and conflict is a real one. But what history shows is that you can easily become very emotional and racialize. And that's what I fear.
Is the stereotype of Asian-Americans being extremely successful — the "model minority" — an accurate one?
Asian-Americans' success is, in part, explained by the shape of our immigration laws, which have admitted privileged classes. The recent immigration has been from professional, intellectual, and middle classes. So the success of Asian-Americans is very much attributed to the fact that they come from successful backgrounds to begin with.
The image of Asian-Americans being quiet and submissive is a misconception, although understandable, given the marginalization of Asians in American life. But as a historian, it was interesting to go back and, if you look at the 19th century, even up until World War II, Asians were considered to be the more obstreperous and difficult group in American life.
In recent times, Asian-Americans have been viewed, particularly in schools, as more quiet. Some of this comes from the fact that so many students come from immigrant families. They tend to exhibit traditional behavior, which is heavily influenced by Confucian notions of hierarchy and respect for elders and educators. A high premium is placed on public decorum, reserved personal behavior, inconspicuousness, and being seen as a representative of the family — all things that lead some to think of Asians as being quiet or less offensive. As time goes on, you'll see those things drop away, as they become just like other Americans.

St Mirren vow to ban fans after unconscious Dundee United supporter was spat at
Buddies have issued a statement warning over "utterly unacceptable" behavour.
Football Scotland
St Mirren Park (Image: SNS)
St Mirren have issued a strongly-worded statement accusing a group of supporters of spitting and throwing coins at an unconscious Dundee United fan.
The sickening incident is said to have happened during Saturday's Scottish Cup tie in Paisley which the Taysiders won 2-1.
An away fan - who had suffered a serious head injury after falling in a crowd surge - was targeted by missiles from the home support as he was being taken out of the stadium to hospital.
It's one of a series of incident which has led Buddies chiefs to issue a statement warning fans.
Local MSP George Adam has even been drafted in to arrange a meeting with the police, the club and relevant fan groups to try and find a way forward after incidents including fans organising fights with opposition supporters, flares, smoke bombs and vandalism.
The St Mirren statement read: "We are fortunate to have a very loyal support who travel up and down the country following the team through thick and thin and, as we have previously stated, this is never taken for granted and is much appreciated by everyone connected with St Mirren.

Alan Power to discover SFA fate over Ryan Jack tackle as compliance officer reviews incident
"This season the police have been in dialogue with us over some incidents and behaviour that has taken place predominantly at away games. This relates to a very small number of fans, however, it goes without saying that this negatively affects the reputation of the support as a whole.
"Amongst other things this has involved the setting off of flares, fireworks and smoke bombs, organising fights with opposition supporters and vandalism of public property. These are very serious allegations and seriously tarnish our club's reputation.
"While the aforementioned are primarily a police issue we are now also seeing instances of this unacceptable behaviour appearing at our home fixtures.
"On Saturday a Dundee Utd supporter suffered a serious head injury after the away crowd surged forward after United's first goal. This is something we have warned our own support against on numerous occasions so hopefully this will make people realise how dangerous this can be.
"Given the seriousness of the injury the decision was taken to remove the fan by the quickest means possible which was through the vomitory at W7.
"While the unconscious supporter was being removed there were numerous people standing above the vomitory who decided to spit and throw coins at him.
"This is completely and utterly unacceptable. We cannot allow the actions of a very small number of fans to ruin the reputation of St Mirren Football Club.
"Some of the people responsible were identified but unfortunately the quality of the CCTV footage of the incident is such that at this time we are unable to pursue this to the degree of certainty that would allow prosecution.
"If we are able to clearly identify the culprits, regardless of what happens in a legal sense, they will be given a lifetime ban from our stadium.
"We would ask anyone with any information or footage of the incident to contact the club on info@stmirren.com.
"Any information provided will be treated in the strictest confidence.
"Everyone connected with the club fully acknowledges the fantastic contribution the W7 group have made to improving the atmosphere at the stadium. Whilst we want to nurture and support the fans in that area of the stadium we are also duty bound to apply the same rules that cover all other areas of all other stands.
"For the avoidance of any doubt antisocial behaviour will not be tolerated in ANY area of our stadium."

Fifty years ago, it might have seemed like an unlikely event: The head of the Catholic Church gathering bishops from around the world to listen to young people share their stories, struggles and suggestions as to how the church can help them discover their vocations and live meaningful lives.
Then again, within this half-century, the world experienced the pontificate of St. John Paul II, who reoriented the church's focus toward youth through World Youth Days, and that of his successor, Pope Benedict XVI, who began communicating with young people on Twitter….
First, we hope to highlight the specific contributions that young people can (and already do) offer to the church. Second, we want to examine what the church can offer to young people at a time and in a culture characterized by skepticism of institutional religion, saturation with identity politics, and changes in communication and commitment.
Pope Francis' hope is that "by listening to young people, the church will once again hear the Lord speaking in today's world." We're confident that these words will prove true — and in light of faith and in the spirit of accompaniment, we're inviting you to join in the conversation.

Andy Nguyen, co-owner of several wildly successful eateries in California, has graced the Richardson area with a casual, fresh poke shop called "Chubby Tuna". And trust me when I say this place has everything you would be looking for in terms of your new go-to hangout. Cute mascot? Check.
Chill vibes? Check. Delicious food? Check check check.
I was given the opportunity to try out the menu, and boy was I on a roll (haha, get it?). Like me, you'll also get to build your own poke bowl, burrito, or seaweed roll or choose from their ready-made poke burritos, SPAM sides, or acai bowls. I chose to go with the "chubbicone" where they waffle iron sushi rice and wrap it into a seaweed cone with the options you choose. I went with a half-and-half base of the spring mix and sushi rice and chose salmon as my protein, which was tossed in their tasty secret blend of spicy ponzu marinade. It was so fresh, succulent, and tender, I felt in that moment that I didn't need anything else to be happy in the world. And that sauce? The solution to everything is definitely an ingredient of that secret mix.
I added in some corn, crab mix, seaweed salad, topped with red topiko (they have various colors of it, so I would make a rainbow because everyone needs more rainbows in their lives), fried onions, fried garlic, dried seaweed, furikake, and avocado.
Rounded it off with some eel sauce, my personal go-to, and voila-*chef's kiss*-perfection in the palm of your hand!
As a SPAM fan from childhood, I couldn't leave without trying their spam sides, so I got two: fried spam musabi with Calbee shrimp chips (also a childhood favorite of mine), coupled with wasabi cream sauce, and SPAM fries with Chubby Tuna sauce.
Also got a chance to try out one of my all-time-favorite sodas: Japanese ramune soda. I took the Hello Kitty one in the strawberry flavor. Additionally, when I saw the Mr. Brown brand canned iced coffee I had to try the macadamia nut. Both great decisions, and highly recommended. They also have Kona iced coffee from Hawaii, which I will be getting on my next visits to try. If y'all try it before me, let us know how it was!
Had to take a poke bowl home for the road, so I picked the "hot 2 na". Check out the menu in preparation for their grand opening on Saturday, May 19th. First 100 customers get a free gift as well!
If you need help deciding, feel free to keep this post open on your phone. ;) Everything was delicious and the menu looks like I'll be making my way through it on numerious visits, and I hope you all feel the same way too. Visit this cute tuna, stay a while, have some laughs, eat some noms, and leave happy (most important of all)!

When I first saw the trailer, I was somewhat interested in this because it looked like mindless fun and because it was also the return of Arnold Schwarzenegger since leaving behind being the Governor. But The Last Stand has been ripped to shreds by fans and critics alike for the last year or so. The news wasn't good and my expectations, however minimal it was to begin with, plunge drastically. It was bad enough that I didn't even care to save it to my Hold List. Didn't have any intention of ever seeing this. It was only because I saw a promo for this a few days ago that I remembered the movie even existing. Well, I just got finished watching it and the movie was way better than I thought it would be, but clearly a movie that pales in comparison to Arnie's much better flicks from years past. It's not all bad. Kinda.
I did enjoy the movie, but I was confused as to what the movie was suppose to be. Was is it an all-out action flick or was it a comedy? The film maker clearly wanted to tap into both genres to increase potential ticket sales and remind people that Arnie does do well in comedies. But the thing is that this wasn't the flick for that. The "comedy" and bon mots just doesn't work among all the carnage. It ends up making the flick look like a live action Road Runner cartoon of a modern day western. It's just too much. With that said, I say it's still worth a Rent just to see the 'Old Man' return to what he does best.......blowing sh*t up. The fight at the end, as hokey as it was, was still entertaining.

Yea, not so much. Very forgettable film. I remember zero about it, except Johnny Knoxville, who I really think is worthless in these 'acting' roles.
And speaking of low priority on my Ah-nuld movies, I just brought home Sabotage . I'll watch it only because I might not have anything better. Ah-nuld's comeback has definitely been uneventful at best.
« Last Edit: August 22, 2014, 07:24:15 am by Mac »
Because the rest of us think you're an idiot.
I'm a little more hopeful of Sabotage and looking forward to it.
I didn't check, but did you see Escape Plan?
Still waiting for my Library to get a copy. I'm getting impatient!
IMO, do not put any stock into waiting for it. If you see it next week, next month or next year. you'll eventually see it and go meh.

From the BG-169 Series comes a collection of new models that combine eyecatching colours and semi-transparent resin. The basic semi-transparent resin colouring is combined with pink gold, purple, and blue coloured components for a total of three great looking colour combinations. Face protectors not only perform an important function, they also clearly identify these watches as BABY-G models. Though compact in size, these models are water resistant up to 200 meters. The metal ring around the face of the BG-169G is ion plated for a lustrous touch.

          x = width/2.0  + MIN (width, height) / 2.0 - linewidth + (-extentsTempMax.width/2 + extentsTempMax.x_bearing);
          y = height/2.0 - extentsTempMax.y_bearing*1.20;
      cairo_move_to (cr, x, y);
      cairo_show_text (cr, pcTemp);
    return TRUE;
 }

and the result is this
 GtkWidget *drawing_area = gtk_drawing_area_new ();
     gtk_widget_set_size_request (drawing_area, 100, 100);
     gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX(gtk_builder_get_object(builder, "box30")),drawing_area,FALSE,TRUE,0);

I create a drawing area and request the size, but i don't get this size.
So my question are:

*

*How can i update data inside a drawing area (generate a draw event??)?

*Why i can't request a size of the drawing area widget?
Opinions are welcome.

A: Answer to
1) Everytime you update data, force a draw update with:
gtk_widget_queue_draw(GTK_WIDGET(drawing_area))

2) You can request a size but if the container is set to expand, then the widget can eventually expand; the set_size_request function/method will set the minimum size the drawing area will "have". From what we can see on your code, the drawing area is inside a GtkBox. Check the expand and fill flags.
Tip 1: You can test the set_size_request by using your drawing_area inside a GtkFixed container
Tip 2: Try to create a custom widget, it would be a better solution.

Planners OK Salk plans
The Salk Institute's planned expansion will now advance to the city council after last week's approval of the planning commission.
On Sept. 4, the commission, which had put it on their consent agenda, approved the tentative map and master planned development, coast and site development permits for the project adjacent to the existing institute.
"Everybody agreed it was such an admirable project, we felt we could do it on consent," said planning commissioner Tim Golba, a La Jollan. "We had a number of speaker slips all in favor of the project, including people and groups who usually speak in opposition, which carried enormous weight with the Commission."
Environmentalists and Salk officials, who were far apart at first on mitigation for Salk's expansion, were able to reach a common ground through negotiations.
"We just worked with them (Salk) for years and were able to come up with a negotiated settlement that addressed all of the major outstanding issues," said Joanne Pearson, chair of the San Diego Sierra Club Coastal Committee.
The project proposes a phased expansion to the existing Salk campus, including demolition of the west buildings and accessory building, and the phased construction of the Torrey East Laboratory Building, Salk Community Center, North Peninsula underground parking facility, and greenhouses, for a total of 476,000 square feet upon completion.
The Salk Institute is on a 26.3-acre site with more than 289,000 square feet of space at 10010 North Torrey Pines Road. Two new underground parking garages would be built near the existing on-site surface lots.

Since 2011, falls have been one of the most common causes of adverse events and have slightly increased every year (MSSS: 2011-2016. During the review process, we found that the corrective measures put in place have a minimal impact on the number of falls. There is only a partial picture of the problem, as well as a lack of involvement of the users/families and friends and the interdisciplinary team in the review process.
Involving the interdisciplinary team in the review process by setting up the quality/security caucus, using the security cross and intentional rounds.
Specifically, the project team reinvented the use of the AH-223 as a clinical and inclusive lever for the voice of the user and his or her family to improve the quality and safety of care and services.
In addition, the user and his or her family cooperate in defining individualized actions for improvement to prevent falls from recurring, which produced concrete results. The pilot project has been rolled out in all living units of the 16 CHSLDs of the CISSS of Montérégie-Est.

Analysis of genes differentially expressed during potato tuber life cycle and isolation of their promoter regions
L.M. Trindade, B.M. Horvath, R. van Berloo, R.G.F. Visser
The potato tuber life cycle involves several developmental stages including tuberisation, tuber growth, dormancy and sprouting. Gene expression during the potato tuber life cycle has been monitored using a RNA fingerprinting technique termed cDNA-AFLP The expression profile of the nearly 2000 transcript derived fragments (TDFs) was analysed and general conclusions concerning the different stages of tuber life cycle and tissue specificity were drawn. Comparison of 116 TDFs isolated and sequenced to the NCBI databases indicated that most of the genes expressed during tuber life cycle are involved in defence, stress, storage and signal transduction pathways. In order to identify time and tissue specific regulatory elements, the TDFs were further screened for their time and tissue specific expression and the putative promoters corresponding to the twelve differentially expressed TDFs were isolated. Comparison of the 12 upstream sequences to all described cis-acting elements resulted in the identification of 12 know cis-acting elements: two general cis-elements, one enhancer and nine specific boxes. These specific cis-elements have been characterised in other plant species and they respond to light, sugars and hormones such as gibberellins, auxins and abscisic acid (ABA). All these environmental factors play an important role during the potato tuber life cycle. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

I have developed a software for the management of the movements kinect (sdk 1.5) – kuka R850 robot. It has been made a kinect-kuka server c# (multithread) that generates input every 12ms.
The Kinect – kuka server contains the programming of a network connection to the robot controller in the programming language C#.
The program generates a second process which communicates with the robot controller, independently of the data generates by the sensor Kinect because a data packet received by the external system must be answered within approx. 12 ms.
When the user raises his left hand and He says: "Record" , the system saves the starting position of the user.
If the user raises his left hand and he says "First or Second.. joint" the system selects the joint type, when the user lowers the left hand, he can move the right hand on y axes to move the robot.
If the user says "Traslation" or "Rotation" the user can move the right hand on x,y,z axes to move the robot .
Note: the system accepts the audio command if only the user raises his left hand.

An incident close to a secondary school caused a road in Chelmsford to be temporarily blocked off by the emergency services this morning (April 14).
Witnesses have reported that police and paramedics attended Corporation Road, adjacent to Broomfield Road, shortly before 11.30am.
Buses were allegedly be unable to pass down the road, which is opposite Chelmsford County High School for Girls.
Officers from Essex Police's dog unit are also thought to have been at the scene as part of the emergency service presence.
One witness, who asked to remain anonymous, said: "There was an ambulance blocking the road and two police cars, one of them being a dog unit."
A resident said: "There was a paramedic car outside here but it left about half hour ago.
"I didn't see police but then we're used to seeing them go up and down."
The exact nature of the incident is unclear at this time but the road was clear of emergency services by midday.
"Police were next door and spoke to a guy sitting outside in a VW," said another resident.
"They arrived about an hour ago but I'm not sure what it was all about."

The International Organization for Standardization ISO is an international standard-setting body composed of representatives from various national standards organizations. Founded on 23 February 1947, the organization promotes worldwide proprietary, industrial and commercial standards. It is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland and works in 164 countries. It was one of the first organizations granted general consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council.


[The South African Jewish board of Deputies is the Jews' most powerful organisation in South Africa. These are the people who went after Snowy Smith for years and harrassed him into court. They and the gays are also main force behind the draconian hate-speech laws the Government has been thinking of. This is the same organisation that also liaised with the Jews in Canada when David Irving was in trouble.
The Jewish Board of Deputies says it would be tragic if the African National Congress (ANC) were to adopt the Policy Conference recommendation that the country downgrade the status of its embassy in Tel Aviv.
The organisation says this will not be in the best interest of South Africa as a country known for peace-making. It says, however, that it will engage the party ahead of the December elective conference.
The South African Jews for a Free Palestine, has welcomed the Policy Conference resolution. The organisation says this is a concrete step beyond rhetoric that Israel must be held accountable for what it calls crimes against the Palestinian people.
The Board of Deputies is, however dead-set against the possibility. They say South Africa will be best served by continuing to play a role of peacemaker in the area working towards the achievement of a two state solution for Israelis and Palestinians. SAJBD President Mary Kluk says they have already contacted the head of the ANC NEC subcommittee on International Relations Edna Molewa.
She added that they have been assured that a thorough investigation of the impact will be undertaken ahead of the ANC's elective conference in December. Kluk says downgrading diplomatic ties with Israel will not be in the best interest of South Africa.
African Christian Democratic Party (ACDP) President Kenneth Meshoe says the ANC's recommendation is disappointing.
The Democratic Alliance (DA) on the other hand says it will only engage on the matter once it has become policy.

A-68A iceberg thinning at 2.5 cm per day
Latest photos reveal that the A-68A iceberg has shattered into a number of items, with two massive fragments of ice breaking off from the principle berg and floating away within the open ocean. Scientists utilizing satellite tv for pc information haven't solely been monitoring the iceberg's journey throughout the South Atlantic Ocean, however have been finding out the iceberg's ever-changing form.
A-68A's journey
The colossal A-68A iceberg – one of many largest bergs of all time – has drifted slowly northwards because it broke free from the Larsen-C ice shelf in July 2017, and has been floating perilously near South Georgia for the previous month.Marine scientists are involved that its presence will hurt the delicate ecosystem that thrives across the island, both by scraping of the iceberg's keel on the seabed or by the large launch of chilly freshwater into the encompassing ocean. Just how shut the berg will attain is dependent upon how deep its keel is, however solely with measurements of the berg's altering form, this has been unattainable to find out with confidence.
Using information from 4 completely different satellites, scientists from the Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling at the University of Leeds have produced the primary evaluation of the iceberg's altering form.The crew first constructed a map of the icebergs preliminary thickness from measurements recorded by ESA's CryoSat satellite tv for pc radar altimeter within the 12 months earlier than it calved. This detailed map reveals that A-68 was initially, on common, 232 m thick, and 285 m at its thickest level. The berg has 30 m deep channels oriented parallel to its slender aspect following the course Larsen ice shelf was flowing out to sea earlier than it snapped – a typical characteristic associated to ocean melting.Since it has been drifting within the ocean, the iceberg's place and form have been captured in a sequence of 11 photos taken by two completely different satellites – the Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission, which has an all-weather and year-round imaging radar, and NASA's MODIS, which information photos which are seen to the bare eye.
Depth of the A-68A iceberg
The imagery reveals that the iceberg has halved in dimension from an preliminary space of 5664 sq km to its current extent of simply 2606 sq km. A big proportion of this loss has been by the creation of smaller bergs, a few of that are nonetheless afloat.Profiles of the iceberg's peak have additionally been recorded on eight separate events because it has drifted and rotated within the ocean by CryoSat and by NASA's ICESat-2 laser altimeter, which has been in orbit since September 2018. The coincident satellite tv for pc imagery made it doable to orientate the altimeter peak profiles relative to the icebergs preliminary place and calculate its change in thickness over time.
Area, thickness and quantity of A-68A
On common, the iceberg has thinned by 32 m, and by over 50 m in locations – round 1 / 4 of its preliminary thickness. When mixed, the change in thickness and space quantity to a 64% discount within the iceberg's quantity from 1467 to 526 cubic kilometres.The iceberg's future trajectory is dependent upon how deep its keel is relative to the encompassing ocean. Although South Georgia lies in a distant spot of the South Atlantic Ocean, it's surrounded by comparatively shallow shelf waters that stretch tens of kilometres past its shoreline.At its thickest part, the A-68A iceberg presently has a 206 m deep keel, and so the principle part is unlikely to journey a lot nearer to the island till it thins or breaks aside. However, two comparatively massive fragments which broke away on 21 December are significantly thinner, with keels which are as much as 50 m shallower, and so these pose the best speedy risk.Since it broke free, the typical melting price of A-68 has been 2.5 centimetres per day and the berg is now shedding 767 cubic metres of freshwater per second into the encompassing ocean – equal to 12 instances the outflow of the River Thames.
The crew will proceed to watch A-68A and its remnant elements as a part of their ongoing evaluation of Earth's polar areas.Anne Brackmann-Folgmann, PhD scholar at the University of Leeds, mentioned, "Icebergs can have major environmental impacts, including disturbing ocean circulation, marine ecosystems, and could block the route between penguin colonies and their feeding grounds during the breeding season. Thanks to CryoSat, we can track changes in their thickness, providing advance warning of when and where they might run aground."Jamie Izzard, postgraduate researcher at the University of Leeds, mentioned, "Satellite altimeters allow us to measure iceberg terrain with incredible precision, allowing us to detect subtle features like the shallow surface depression above the basal channel which was the line of weakness along which the latest bergs calved."ESA's CryoSat Mission Manager, Tommaso Parrinello, mentioned, "It's fantastic to know that even in the remotest parts of our planet, satellites like CryoSat are able to shed light on events like this and help us to monitor our environment and thanks to the recent change of CryoSat orbit to sync with ICESat-2, we will see more results in the future coming from the combination of the two satellite measurements."

The Rope: A True Story of Murder, Heroism, and the Dawn of the NAACP
By Alex Tresniowski
Alex Tresniowski Simon & Schuster Audio 9781982114022
02/09/2021 • 1
Available on 02/09/2021
From New York Times bestselling author Alex Tresniowski comes a page-turning, remarkable true-crime thriller recounting the 1910 murder of ten-year-old Marie Smith, the dawn of modern criminal detection and the launch of the NAACP. In the tranquil seaside town of Asbury Park, New Jersey, ten-year-old schoolgirl Marie Smith is brutally murdered. Small town officials, unable to find the culprit, call upon the young manager of a New York detective agency for help. It is the detective's first murder case, and now, the specifics of the investigation and daring sting operation that caught the killer is captured in all its rich detail for the first time. Occurring exactly halfway between the end of the Civil War in 1865 and the formal beginning of the Civil Rights Movement in 1954, the brutal murder and its highly-covered investigation sits at the historic intersection of sweeping national forces—religious extremism, class struggle, the infancy of criminal forensics, and America's Jim Crow racial violence. History and true crime collide in this sensational murder mystery featuring characters as complex and colorful as those found in the best psychological thrillers—the unconventional truth-seeking detective Ray Schindler; the sinister pedophile Frank Heidemann; the ambitious Asbury Park Sheriff Clarence Hetrick; the mysterious "sting artist," Carl Neumeister; the indomitable crusader Ida Wells; and the victim, Marie Smith, who represented all the innocent and vulnerable children living in turn-of-the-century America. Gripping and powerful, The Rope is an important piece of history that gives a voice to the voiceless and resurrects a long-forgotten true crime story that speaks to the very divisions tearing at the nation's fabric today.

"This book is a timely and powerful history lesson wrapped inside a compelling true crime thriller…especially relevant and powerful in today's regressive political times." —Ben Jealous, former NAACP president
"Fascinating, important and colorfully reported. When a white detective and a former slave work separately but toward the same goal in an unspeakable murder case in 1910– justice is served. Their moral audacity and persistence highlight a question relevant to today: what kind of America do we want to live in?" —Walter Isaacson, #1 New York Times bestselling author

uScope Navigator-Gaussian Blur Filter :: Microscopes Intl.
The Gaussian blur filter has the effect of blurring an image. It is a popular filter effect that is used to reduce image noise and detail. It is a convolution that uses a Gaussian kernel to blur the image pixels.
You can specify the kernel size (the height and width of the array of pixels to consider) and the Sigma (the standard deviation for the Gaussian function used the calculate the kernel).
Gaussian blurring can have a dramatic effect on the resulting image and can make it virtually useless (other than for artistic purposes). However, it can also reduce noise in the resulting image.

St Peter's Church ChurchSaint Peter's is the town's parish church and one of the largest churches in the Diocese of St David's in the CHURCH IN WALES in the Anglican Communion.
Services are held in the English language (Welsh language services are held in the daughter church, Eglwys Sant Ioan - St John's Church, in the town). The two churches have a combined membership of 500.
Eleventh century St Peter's has been having a much-needed 'facelift' over the last few years. The restoration programme involved work on both the exterior and interior of the building. The floor of the Chancel and Consistory Court had to be removed and a new re-enforced replacement floor constructed. This entailed the temporary specialist removal of the magnificent eighteenth century George III pipe organ as well as the temporary removal of the choir stalls etc.
Archaeologists were in attendance during September and October, 2000. Whilst the necessary construction was underway, the organ was repaired by organ experts at their Malvern (Worcestershire) organ works. The new floor was re-tiled with the original nineteenth century tiles. Much needed weatherproofing work to the tower was undertaken during 2001 and, in 2002, all the ancient monuments within the church were cleaned and restored.
The restoration programme is now complete. Over one million pounds sterling has been spent on the work. We acknowledge the hard work of our various committees and the very generous financial contributions of our members and friends from all over the world. We also acknowledge the financial backing of CADW and the Heritage Lottery Fund without whose help this work could not have been contemplated.

Here's a story of one Friday night when I had two firsts. Both of them are sweet, both of them are yummy, and both of them are a bit tad expensive but all worth it.
Up until the moment when Ying asked as out to go to Bonifacio High Street (in the middle of our shifts) and get ourselves some Jamba Juice, I only have a faint idea of what it is. I've read a number of tweets and Facebook posts about it but I never bothered to check. When I first stepped into their store, my first thought was it was like Starbucks but serves shakes, parfaits, and other fruit concoctions instead of coffee and tea. The store is crowded when we got there, with chairs strewn here and there to accommodate odd number of groupies that are having their fix. It got noisy at times; the store music could not override the overall chatter of the crowd. If you want some peace and quiet, sit outside.
I ordered the medium-sized Peanut Butter Moo'd. It's a perfect mix of yogurt, soy milk, and peanuts. I tried to Google it to check the exact ingredients and was surprised to know that it has banana in it. I honestly cannot remember it when I ordered. Anyway, it tastes really good, but I'm not really shake crazy so it got to a point where I just have to sip through it. It would have been better if I ordered the small size. Note to self: Check the ounces of your drink size before you order.
What probably makes it original from all the other refreshments stores is the photo booth where you and your friends can take pictures and instantly upload them to their Facebook page. You can also send them directly to your email account. A good advertising scheme, I must say. Here we are, trolling around and not minding the other people who are in line. Hehe.
After work, we headed over to Mercato Centrale. For those who don't know, Mercato is this midnight market that sells a variety of food choices — barbecues, kebabs, cakes, shakes, burgers, frankfurters, you name it. I went there to have my usual barbecued chicken liver, but we discovered something else. Mochis!
My only close encounter with mochis is during my yogurt-crazy days when I have to choose the toppings. I haven't tried mochi on them because I thought it's one of those disgusting, exotic food that you get from Chinese stores. I was wrong! For one, mochi is a Japanese rice cake from Japan, and two, it is not exotic and disgusting at all!
I think the best part of eating them with ice cream inside is the anticipation. Mochiko printed a cliche line in the cover which says, "Good things come to those who wait". Since the mochis were frozen (because of the ice cream inside), we have to wait for a few minutes for it to be soft. They were not kidding. We were in for a good surprise!
Enjoying our variously flavored mochis!
I remembered that "one pound of fat comment". Well, excuuuuse us for living.

From Casta to Californio, I
Who Lived at El Presidio de San Francisco?
(p.70) 3 From Casta to Californio, I
The historical demography of the Presidio of San Francisco is not straightforward. The colonial population was composed of a diverse mix of households including adult men and women and children. In contrast, Native Americans living at the settlement were primarily adult men serving as military prisoners and laborers. As in other parts of Spain's American colonies, the sistema de castas identified colonial subjects according to perceived degrees of African, Mexican Indian, and Iberian heritage. Most of the settlers were initially classified as mestizo and mulatto, but over time individuals manipulated these racial categories to assert an "español" identity. The malleability of racial identity and the erosion of the sistema de castas may have been the first steps towards the ethnogenesis of a shared Californio identity. The politics of gender and sexuality, as well as race and ethnicity, permeated every aspect of colonial identity transformation.
