• Photographer Clayton Cubitt's video-art exhibit "Hysterical Literature" (the first installment of which was reviewed in August) features an attractive woman sitting at a table reading mainstream literature aloud ("everything from Walt Whitman to a science book on fungus"), but in a sexy voice and accompanied by squirming in the chair prompted by unspecified activities of a "distractor" agent supplied by Cubitt. After a few minutes, it is clear that the woman is experiencing an orgasm. Cubitt told Salon.com that he was mocking the "quack Victorian medical theory of 'hysteria' in women."

• Without the work of scientists Gregory Gage and Tim Marzullo, we might never know the effect of playing a loud hip-hop song to create vibrations that make squids' pigmented cells change colors. The men's Backyard Brains setup involved a 1993 Cypress Hill hit ("Insane in the Brain"), an iPod nano, and a "suction electrode" to jar a Longfin Inshore's muscles to reveal the squid's "chromatophores" that are either red, brown or yellow.

• Canadian artist Taras Polataiko's two-week-long live re-creation of "Sleeping Beauty" was featured through early September at Ukraine's National Art Museum in Kiev, with an unexpected outcome. Five women had been chosen to fall asleep daily and, by signed contract, to agree to marry the first man who awakened them with a single kiss (thus to witness "the birth of love," according to Polataiko). Only one awoke during the exhibit, but since that payoff kiss was applied by a female gallery-goer, the contract could not be fulfilled in that Ukraine forbids same-sex marriage.

Worksafe is investigating the State Government authority in charge of three major Western Australian ports amid claims of a "toxic" culture of workplace bullying.
The state's health and safety watchdog has confirmed it is investigating five complaints from within Southern Ports Authority which controls the Bunbury, Albany and Esperance ports and last year earned the state $40.6 million in profit.
A current employee, who asked to remain anonymous, described encountering "systematic, continuing and increasing" bullying behaviour from senior staff.
"I've seen some pretty abhorrent stuff," he said.
"I've been witness to fits of rage and angry tantrums for no-to-little apparent reason.
"I have witnessed people being berated in the most abhorrent manner including innocent and vulnerable members of our staff who have been driven to absolute distress.
"One particular individual now suffers physical stress related symptoms as the result of the behaviour towards her."
The employee claims that more than 20 staff have left the organisation as a direct result of bullying.
"The modus of operandi goes like this: they find a low ranking staff member silly or self-serving enough to progress some false allegations against someone higher up the chain they don't like," the staffer said.
"That leads to the target person being exited from the business and the reward for that is large pay rises, privileged treatment in the form of training, development and appointment to positions far in excess of their previous standing and skills knowledge and experience."
A former staff member, who also did not want to be identified, also claimed to have been bullied.
"It's over a period of time, causes much more damage and it's much harder to make direct complaints against," he said.
Albany MP and speaker of the WA Legislative Assembly, Peter Watson, has called for the Transport Minister to investigate the "serious" claims of bullying.
"It's definitely happening in the three ports," he said.
"We've got to look at this because we're gradually losing all the good people we have in the port."
In December, Worksafe also reprimanded the Southern Ports Authority for breaching occupational health and safety regulations, claiming employees at the Esperance port may be exposed to psychosocial risks.
Geraldton based Labor MLC Laurie Graham last year chaired a panel to review the 2014 decision to establish the authority through the amalgamation of the three ports.
He said while the review's terms of reference prevented him from fully probing the bullying claims, his conversations with staff lead him to believe it was a genuine problem.
"I've reached a conclusion that it most probably has occurred," he said.
"Where it goes from here is a matter for others to determine.
"I'm very sympathetic of the concerns that the staff have and it does appear, in my view, that it has been an ongoing problem."
Transport Minister Rita Saffiotti said Mr Graham's review found "isolated evidence of cultural issues which are being addressed through various measures, including a cultural change action plan and leadership training".
Southern Ports chief executive Nicolas Fertin said he would welcome any further inquiry into the organisation.
"Inappropriate behaviour between employees have been dealt with with investigations. They've been dealt with through the process of the ports and the Public Sector Commission," he said.
Mr Fertin said during his tenure twelve cases of bullying have been reported from a workforce of 200, but only three have been substantiated.
"We're focussed on building a culture that's based on accountability, integrity, teamwork and a strong focus on the future," he said.
"When bullying in reported we take it very seriously and we investigate.
"We recognise that Southern Ports has undergone big changes since 2014 when the amalgamation started and we know this has impacted our staff.
"But on the other hand (Mr Graham's) review also shows that Southern Ports is on the right track and we should continue on our cultural change program."
The Public Sector Commission said it was "aware of issues raised in regard to the Southern Ports Authority" but were not prepared to comment further.

Passion economy
Adam Davidson on creating intimacy at scale in the passion economy
Can artists find the fun in business?
When he was growing up in Greenwich Village in the 70s, Adam Davidson was immersed in the life of artists. His father is an actor, his mother has had many roles in the arts—actor, dancer, arts administrator—and almost everyone in the Westbeth Artists' Housing community where he lived was more passionate about chasing the muse than the money.
Money was more like a mysterious distraction, something competing for attention and tempting them to compromise. So when Davidson became fascinated with the financial world and made it the focus of his journalism, he probably seemed like an Alex P. Keaton black sheep among the bohemians.
But Davidson wasn't disavowing the artist's path. He was looking for the yellow brick road that could connect it to commercial viability. Not in pursuit of fame and fortune, but in pursuit of a life where you could embrace your individuality, lean into your weirdness, and find others who would not only celebrate that, but pay you for it.
Throughout his career, Davidson has traveled the world to find stories about people who've navigated tumultuous economic changes and forged a new path. On his way to finding his own niche as a leading proponent of the passion economy, he won the Daniel Schorr Journalism Prize for his coverage on the war in Iraq, and co-founded NPR's Planet Money podcast with Alex Blumberg. In 2008, they won a Peabody award for "The Giant Pool of Money," an episode of "This American Life" that detailed the events that led to the subprime mortgage crisis. Shortly after, writer/director Adam McKay hired Davidson as technical consultant for the Academy Award-winning film "The Big Short."
Davidson wasn't disavowing the artist's path. He was looking for the yellow brick road that could connect it to commercial viability.
In January 2020, Davidson published The Passion Economy: The New Rules for Thriving in the Twenty-First Century and launched a podcast spotlighting pioneers in this emerging sector. As the pandemic turned the world economy upside down, it also revealed new opportunities. We spoke with Davidson about how the past year has accelerated entrepreneurship and opened the doors for many who'd never before considered starting their own business.
Dropbox: Have you noticed new niches rising to address problems surfaced by the pandemic?
Adam Davidson: One of the core ideas of the passion economy is that you can find your group— those people who most value what you uniquely provide—even if they're spread all over the world. That has just fast-forwarded by many, many years. So every trend that was happening is just happening more so.
I think of this woman I met who's a food stylist, a very customer-specific job where she would be hired by a magazine or advertiser to come on set and figure out how to make that bowl of Cheerios or eggplant or pasta primavera look gorgeous. She's now doing it remotely. Before, she had a very customized customer base. She had to be in New York, or maybe Milan or Paris. She couldn't just be anywhere, because there were very few cities where there was a density of demand.
Now, she could do a New York gig in the morning, a Paris gig in the evening, a Shanghai gig. That does a bunch of things. First off, there's more work. But then more importantly, she could match to those people who value her the most, wherever they are.
It's a trend we've been seeing for decades, but it is so much more the case that since people have been forced to accommodate remote work—even for industries we didn't think could do remote work—the spread of the ability to find your unique customers all over is all the more possible.
Would you say there's growing interest in entrepreneurship? Are you noticing new businesses sparked by unmet market needs that weren't apparent until the pandemic happened?
For years and years, the three areas that have been the most resistant to the disintermediation of technology have been healthcare, education, and government. If you think of the in-person activity you do with healthcare, or the in-person nature of education, and the throughput government has in solving problems—everything has been stretched beyond comprehension. I actually was on the phone for 40 minutes today with a government office. Then they just shut me off. 'We're just too busy.' It was just maddening.
Something that's been really striking, certainly for me, as someone who's had multiple COVID tests just to be safe, and watching my son's educational struggles, it becomes really clear what part of an experience is adding value and what part is annoyingly inefficient.
If you think of the bundle of things called 'going to school' or the bundle of things called 'seeing the doctor.' When I go to the doctor, I have to sit around and wait for a while. That's kind of annoying, but that's just with the bundle. Or filling out insurance forms—It's a big pain in the butt, but that's just how life works. Or if you're in school for eight hours, there's gonna be some number of those hours that are just boring and your mind wanders.
It feels like this has really crystallized the pain points, the frustration. We got to the point with our son, who was in third grade during the worst of the remote learning period. We really knew minute by minute: he's actively learning about 20 minutes a day. Nothing more than that. How could we expand that? How can we increase that? So yes, I think this is cutting into the bone of the greatest resistance.
"First off, there's more work. But then more importantly, she could match to those people who value her the most, wherever they are."
Some have pointed out that remote work during a pandemic isn't a fair example of what remote work really is because working parents like yourself have the added stress of trying to help with homeschooling. Would you say the same thing applies to anyone starting new a business over the past year?
Periods of crisis are known to be periods of a lot more entrepreneurship. During the Great Recession, you might even want to be an entrepreneur, you might have a great idea. But the lure of a steady paycheck is pretty powerful. When you don't really have a choice, you're sort of forced to be entrepreneurial.
The other thing is, recessions or great economic disruptions come at hinge points in an economic system when we're moving from one model to another model. Those generally create lots of new opportunities that people can take advantage. So I think overall, my prediction would be: this will be good. We'll see a lot of new firm creation, a lot of entrepreneurship.
But yes, I think it is frustrating. It's also clarifying. You really need to refine what is the value you are adding uniquely. How do you communicate that value? How do you find your people if all you're doing all day is sitting on your couch, talking to people? We've discovered that there were some firms that were tailor made for this moment that really can't survive.
What advice would you give to people trying to pitch a new business idea at a time when many are already overwhelmed by the news? How do you break through and create "intimacy at scale" at a time like this?
I would argue that now is not a good time for broadcasts. Now's not a good time for, 'Great solutions for everybody!' or 'This is a product that everybody will love!' I think you really want to go small and intimate.
My instinct would be solving specific problems for specific people and being able to identify where those people are. When they're thinking about their problem, how do you communicate to them? How am I going to save you time? How am I going to take a worry off of you? How am I going to easily onboard you?
"My instinct would be solving specific problems for specific people and being able to identify where those people are."
This has been a trend forever, but you have less time, less space—you have to have clear value. That means really knowing who I am for and who I'm not for?
I saw a pitch for a food site. I was like, 'That was awesome. It's so clearly not for me.' I really appreciated it. They just started, like, 'Here's what we are.' I was like, 'Cool. That's not me.' So I don't have to waste another minute, you know? If there is deep engagement, once you get them in, I think people will linger. I think there's increasing understanding of the value of a niche, the value of a good story, the value of going back and forth—the marketplace as community, not just the marketplace as transaction. Getting them in is the challenge but once you get them in, I think they might linger longer. I'd be curious what the data says.
For people seeking a niche, a unique set of skills other people don't have, do you think it's better to begin by looking for a problem to solve or looking for the work they really want to do?
I am an advocate of both. You do need to have a passion, need something that really is self-motivating, something that is unique, that you can do that probably no one else can quite do, that feels really helpful. But then you need to match it to the market. That's where it goes from being inward to outward.
The 20th century model, this supply meets demand model, is you price things at what economists call the point of indifference, the place where people just don't really care that much. I have a buck, you're selling me a comb. I could kind of go either way. 'Fine, here's a buck, I'll take the comb.' You're trying to price it that low, because if you price it at a buck ten, a lot fewer people buy the comb. So you want the most people to buy it. You make it up in volume. By producing them more and more, you'll develop efficiencies.
But the model that I'm thinking about is, you're actually trying to find the person who really wants a comb a lot and is willing to pay a lot for it. You're getting to know a lot about them, and designing the perfect comb for them. I don't know why I'm talking about combs, a bald guy, but it just popped in my head. (laughs)
Do you think there's a role for AI to play in matching people who have a niche product or service with people already looking for that? Have you seen any tools for matching passion economy entrepreneurs to their customers?
I almost wanted to call the book "The Matching Economy" because if you think of the 20th century model, you make one product that's perfectly fine for everybody, not amazing for anybody—like Ivory soap or a Hershey's chocolate bar. If I'm on the east coast and you're on the west coast, the way I sell it to you is I sell to every single person between us until I get to you. I don't need to know that much about you, because it's priced at the point where you're not making a big investment, you don't care that much.
But if I'm creating a passion product or service, the matching is what matters. I need to find those people thinly spread around the world who really value this thing. Economists call that matching—how do I match what I'm offering with the people who most value it? That's turns out to be a really tricky problem. It's really hard. Especially because a lot of times you don't actually know what you want, and you don't realize that the thing I'm offering is the thing you want. I think AI has the potential to be even better at creating those surprising matches. It feels like we're in the very early baby stages with recommendation engines.
When I fantasize about the future, just imagine a world where the beverages you drink, the cups you use to drink those beverages, the clothes you wear, the furniture you sit on, the car you drive, the movies you watch are really the most perfect for you. Your accountant, your chiropractor, your doctor or whatever is most perfect for you. That might mean I walk into your house, and you just have all different stuff.
"You do need to have a passion... But then you need to match it to the market. That's where it goes from being inward to outward."
I see that with my son. He has his YouTube creators that he loves, and his friends might not even know who they are. Unlike when I was a kid, whatever cartoons you watched, all your friends watch those because those were the only cartoons. So I feel like we're in the very early stages of this.
The other thing that is exciting is, it's never solved. Ivory soap came out and then that was the dominant soap for three generations. Hershey's chocolate was the dominant chocolate for decades, then it competed with Snickers and they still compete. In this new world, you might find the physical goods in your life are changing every few years. It's just never gonna be done. It's always changing, which to me is exciting. I think for some people, it's a little terrifying.
Do you see a lot of redundant supply coming out of the passion economy? What advice would you give to a musician or filmmaker who wants to find a niche? Is it about creating a super specific subgenre?
I think genre may not be the word. I grew up in Greenwich Village in a building filled with artists. It was subsidized housing. You had to make below a certain income. I believe that there's a place for broke artists. Some people really do their creative work. They don't want it in a marketplace at all, and they're willing to live a poorer life.
I think A) that's a perfectly legitimate choice if you make it, but B) it's a reminder that wanting to make money means wanting to figure out who is going to voluntarily spend money on your thing. That means needing to be a bit outward directed. For a lot of the artists, I know that's a deep challenge. They're not sure they want to meet that challenge. Others have no problem with it.
I'm not offering a world where everyone gets to create exactly what they want to create, and they also get to make a really good living at it. It's really about understanding that audience. Who's that group of people who you're connecting with? What do they want? How do they value it? How do you create value?
Another big idea in my book is, how do you capture the value. Those are two very different things. You can create value and not capture it. You can create no value, but capture a lot of value. I'm a big fan of Patreon, but there's a sort of inherent recency bias that the last thing you did, or the next thing you do is the valuable thing. If you did an amazing thing three years ago, it sort of loses value.
So I do hope that we have business models that don't just reward frequency. I think that's a big issue in podcasting. Because of the nature of the RSS feed, and the way ads are sold, a new episode has about six weeks to capture all its value. I actually don't like the incentives that gives. Because I'm pretty glad that Bruce Springsteen would spend two years or more crafting the perfect album. I'm glad he didn't feel like he had to turn something out every week, you know? That's good. I want that model to still exist. It feels like we're not quite there.
Have you seen a pattern to the success stories? Do they have something in common in terms of what they're creating or is their success more connected to finding the right buyers?
What I've been thinking lately is that learning to be playful about your business model, learning to see the way you make money as a creative act, an experimental act, a playful act—not just a fear-based, externally defined act—is almost like a conversion to a different religion.
If I think of artists I've known, graphic designers, other creative people, they almost have contempt for the business side. It's like, they do this beautiful thing called creativity, and then there's this crappy world run by boring people in suits called business.
"Learning to see the way you make money as a creative act, an experimental act, a playful act—not just a fear-based act—is almost like a conversion to a different religion."
I actually think once you click on, 'Oh, that is fun, too!' Thinking about what the price should be is fun. Thinking about who my customer is, is fun. Thinking about subscription, selling products, selling events. If you want to connect with other people, you want to bring value to them, and you want that value to reward you, then that is part of the fun of the whole exercise.
The thing is, you're gonna have to try a bunch of different things. A lot of them are going to fail. Probably the things that'll work aren't going to be off-the-shelf solutions. So if you don't have a bit of passion, a bit of curiosity, a bit of hunger, and a bit of playfulness, I think you'll get discouraged too quickly and make decisions based on fear.

"My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all." -Stephen Hawking
Many have been humbled simply standing in a darkened field and looking to the stars. Indeed the great thinkers of the many generations that have come and gone are regarded as giants when in fact they were merely humans dropped to their knees by the wonder that is the universe all around us. There is as much wonder in a blade of grass as there is in a cosmic nebula, as much mystery in a drop of water as in the dark matter we yet fail to comprehend.
James Hart Dyke is based in Brighton, England nestled between the water and the south downs. In his studio he works largely on commissions. Last November Hart Dyke traveled to Patagonia and is now painting mountain landscapes from this trip for an exhibition in London at the end of the year. Landscapes are his life's work and his love for the art form has infused his life and career with adventure and physicality as he climbs and hikes the places he later paints. "Enduring the landscape in some way, I find that combination of painting and physicality very exciting…it's what my painting is about, really," he says. Hart Dyke has been embedded with British forces in war zones on commission from the UK military. In Baghdad he painted while two soldiers stood guard. This tradition of bringing artists along to paint is long standing and important to the regiments of the UK. The work created is kept in the collections of the individual regiments and displayed in the mess hall, documenting the history of each for the soldiers to witness. The tradition dates back before photography when artists were the only window to a visual representation of the action of the battlefield. Artists' representations of war convey more than just the actual imagery of what is going on before them. The emotions of the situation are infused into the work, as well. Hart Dyke has had an unusual career. His work has led him to a position as artist in residence for the British Secret Intelligence Service as well as to work for the Royal Family. For the British Secret Intelligence Service, Hart Dyke helped to commemorate the centenary by documenting things in paint. As an artist he was able to venture where photographers could not go due to the highly sensitive nature of the work done there. His paintings from this series are quite surreal, a nod to the rather unusual nature of the work the British Secret Intelligence Service does. Hart Dyke studied architecture which he is still passionate about despite eventually moving to painting. His entrance into the painting world began with commissioned paintings of buildings. In reality, Hart Dyke began painting at the age of eight and despite his foray into architecture he never truly gave it up. There was inevitability to his career as a painter. Because of the physical nature of his process, art has become in a very real sense James Hart Dyke's sport. To hear more about this, James Hart Dyke's unusual career, and about the tradition of artists on the battlefield, listen to the complete interview.
Kambui Olujimi recently he exhibited work titled Red Shift. The title refers to celestial bodies in space that cannot be seen because of shifts in the spectrum of light. Through this lens, Olujimi contemplated the mythology of whiteness as an unseen force. Olujimi describes how the mythological space of whiteness plays out in the physical world through policy, allocation of resources, and myriad other ways. He references descriptions of mass shooters as "lone shooters" in a way that removes them from the space of violence pervasive in the US. Presidential assassins are another example. These two groups of predominantly white men are somehow isolated, removed from the larger conversation about violence in the US creating a Red Shift that in a sense conceals them from the rest of the data. For the exhibition, Olujimi created collages from news imagery of the alt-right coupled with drawings. Olujimi's current project centers on fragmentation of identity. His love of films informs this work. In particular he references the accidental announcement of La La Land for Best Picture in 2017 when in fact the film Moonlight claimed that title. His concept deconstructs and reassembles that moment, elongating it and examining the feeling of elation followed by crushing deflation. "A lot of my work is around these things that I call inevitabilities…I'm interested in bringing those inevitabilities out of the space of the implicit. Once you give them shape and weight and gravity and start to manifest them in some way, the incongruities and absurdities, the surreal aspects all become very evident and we are able to become more critical of them in that space." It is these gaps, these "moments of silence" that inform Olujimi's work. To hear more about this powerful art, listen to the complete interview.
A Few Words to Keep in your Pocket:
The very best any of us can do is to allow ourselves to be repeatedly humbled by the vastness, the incomprehensible nature of the universe. And to love each other in the knowledge that we are all in this together.

Titus Andronicus Character Analysis
For many people that think Titus Andronicus is all about violence, well it is mainly from the criticism from "The Pequod" where it talks about violent act is the style and context in which it is executed whether we respond to violence with shock, laughter or satisfaction like for example the death of Titus's sons in battle and how he buried them. Some of the lens that were used was revenge and feminism also stereotypes, revenge is a major part of Titus Andronicus and getting even but not every succeeds in doing so. Feminism comes in when Lavinia got raped by Tamora's sons Demetrius and Chiron and how they took advantage of her body, she is represented as an object or thing. Additionally, how Tamora is an sexulised character, including by virtue of what trying to understand if Tamora is liberating or in male fantasy. Tamora…show more content…
He said, "I am his first-born son, that was the last" which means he will take over Rome and be great Roman Emperor. He only got the spot because Titus said he was getting too old, so Saturninus offers him to wife his daughter Lavinia, making her Empress of Rome. Titus agrees to the offer only to have it declared when Bassianus; Saturninus brother; claiming him and Lavinia are in love. Titus killed his kid because he was disrespecting him. They have a feast all together by the end of act one. So the question is should we trust Titus? Later on in the play Titus confronts himself, then play "I'm a war hero" when he pleads for mercy for his sons. Titus tells Lucius not to be a wimp and ask Lavinia to tell who chopped her hands off. Titus sons are Martius and Quintus; they are bound and led away. Titus cite his loyal service to the Roman
Caesar And Brutus Character Analysis
After a Roman victory against Pompey, Marullus and Flavious discuss their dissatisfactions to citizens at the celebration. Julius Caesar, during the height of his rule, is greeted with a warning about the Ides of March from a soothsayer. Cassius and Brutus express their concerns with Caesar's power and god-like praise and fear that he might seek to become king, thus overthrowing the Republic. Casca attempts to sway Brutus into a plot to kill Caesar. Being a trusted friend of Caesar, Brutus is hesitant on a plot against Caesar, though admits that he questions his motives and ability to lead Rome.
Hamlet Tragic Hero Analysis
Hamlet argues, "And so am I (revenged.) That would be scanned: / A villain kills my father, and for that, / I, his sole son, do this same villain send / To heaven. (3.3 80-83)" While many rush to fault Hamlet for failing to stab Claudius right at this moment, Hamlet asses the situation as one where he still doubt's Claudius sin.
Herod: The King Of Judea
Herod, knowing that his Judaism was in question and wanting to strengthen his power, married Miriam who was a Hasmonean princess. Herod loved Miriam, however she despised him due to the fact that he killed her brother. Miriam's brother Aristobulus was appointed High Priest with help from Herod. Then when Aristobulus gained popularity, Herod felt threatened and had him drowned. Later he became jealous of his two eldest sons for the same reason and had them executed as well, his wife following shortly after.
The Role Of Fate In The Aeneid
Virgil does give Aenea's human characteristics and flaws, this allowed us to view him as more than a symbolic figure. For example, Aeneas demonstrates his human emotions, when he sees the panels in Juno 's temple portraying scenes from the Trojan War, the murals made his eyes tear while feeling a deep empathetic connection towards his soldiers who died at war. Earlier in Book I, he spoke to his countrymen before their feast on shore, he described himself as "burdened and sick at heart. " Putting aside his emotions, his focus toward his duty as the Trojan leader didn't permit him to show insecurity.
Hamlet And Odysseus Comparison
Like his Greek predecessors, Hamlet also thinks up an elaborate subterfuge, but instead of building a trophy or changing his name he writes a play. That's right, Hamlet writes a play within a play, to try and read the reaction of Claudius, the man who killed his father. He gets actors to reenact the death of his father, and when it's shown that he is poisoned Claudius's reaction is a dead giveaway and Hamlet immediately knows the truth. He knows that Claudius poisoned his father to take over the thrown. Unlike Homer and Odysseus, Shakespeare and Hamlet don't have such a heroic, happy ending; it is a tragic ending resulting in the death of almost every main character in the play but is finished with Hamlet getting closure on his father's
Violence In Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus
Tamora's resolve get the most violent revenge possible – 'I'll find a day to massacre them all, | And raze their faction and their family (1.1.455-6) – continues into her implementing the same inhuman brutality that has been displayed by the Romans. The atrociousness that took place against Lavinia is a gruesome, yet critical, component of the play. The episode brings sexual violence into the story, and ushers in a conspicuous stretch of verbal violence – that is inherent in the speech. The sexually vicious conversation between Chiron and Demetrius is both sexist and masochistic: 'Stay, madam, here is more belongs to her [Lavinia]: | First thrash the corn, then after burn the straw. | This minion stood upon her chastity'
Antigone Summary
Antigone by Sophocles: I have studied this play. The whole play rounds about the civil war. In this play, Polyneices and Eteocles, they are the two brothers leading inverse sides in Thebes ' civil war; they have both been killed in battle. Creon, who became the new leader of Thebes, has announced that Eteocles will be respected and Polyneices disfavored. The dissident brother 's body would not be purified by blessed rituals, and will lay unburied to end up the sustenance of carcass animals.
Role Of Religion In Hamlet
Greed is displayed when Claudius is jealous of his brother's power; he kills his brother and becomes king. Envy is also shown with Claudius as he wants his brother's life. Lust is basically his mother marrying his uncle right after his father died. Hamlet believes his mother is being selfish when she goes from hanging on his father to hanging on his uncle in less than a month. Hamlet represents pride when he begins the fencing match and claims, "I shall win at all odds!"
Literary Analysis Of Medea
Nonetheless, closer to the conclusion of the play, Jason insinuates that Medea is a barbarian whom will not make any sense of Greek institutions and values. Many readers of the play may follow him in this judgment. To some extent, this is comprehendible since the author himself provokes us to identify with Jason's judgment by portraying Medea as a woman who voluntarily murders not only her rivals, but her own flesh and blood in order to gain revenge on her husband for marrying another woman. However, if readers find themselves concurring with Jason, they should halt (Schein
Rome: A Great Civilization

The Handmaid's Tale: Chapter Analysis
He vowed that if God would deliver the Ammonites into his hand, he would sacrifice whatever came out of his house when he returned (v. 29-31). God gave Jephthah victory over the Ammonites and he slew them with a great slaughter, subduing them before Israel (v. 32-33). When Jephthah returned home, his only daughter exited his house to meet him with timbrels and dance (v. 34). He tore his clothes when he noticed this because he could not go back on his vow (v. 35). His daughter encouraged him to stay true to his vow, but to allow her to mourn her virginity (v. 36-37).

Oedipus is once again showing leadership qualities he sacrifices himself for the city. "but apollo's oracle is very clear: get rid of the wound! Me the father killer! Me,the pestilence. Me,the polluter!"

BLACKMORE'S NIGHT Announces 'Here We Come A-Caroling' Christmas EP, 'Nature's Light' Album
earMUSIC, the global independent rock and contemporary music label of Edel Germany GmbH, has announced the worldwide signing of BLACKMORE'S NIGHT. The band was founded in 1997 by legendary hard rock guitarist Ritchie Blackmore and Candice Night to stage their mutual love for traditional medieval and folk-rock music. Blackmore has shaped the hard rock scene for decades as one of the most influential and notorious guitarists ever, first with DEEP PURPLE and later with RAINBOW.
"Nature's Light", BLACKMORE'S NIGHT's eleventh studio album, will be released in the spring of 2021, followed by a reissue of the band's entire catalog later in the year.
To bridge the time while waiting for "Nature's Light" to be finally released, BLACKMORE'S NIGHT decided to record a new Christmas-themed EP and give their fans something special to celebrate the holy days with. "Here We Come A-Caroling" includes four festive tracks and will become available December 4, 2020 on limited-edition 10-inch translucent green vinyl as well as a limited-edition CD digipak and digital.
"Nature's Light" is an honest declaration of love to the folk music of the Renaissance era, deeply inspired by myths and legends of times that are long gone and driven by the fiery relationship between the two married songwriters.
Max Vaccaro, general manager of earMUSIC, says: "We celebrate the 'homecoming' of a true music legend: BLACKMORE'S NIGHT started its wonderful musical journey with Edel in 1997. Today, decades later, it is a joyful occasion to welcome Ritchie and Candice back and to plan many years of exciting collaboration with them for their new music and a catalog that has reached the heart of millions of fans over the years."
Blackmore and Night add: "On June 2, 1997, we released our first Renaissance folk-rock debut album: 'Shadow Of The Moon'. With devotion and professionalism, our new record label, Edel, brought 'Shadow Of The Moon' to the top of the charts, where it remained for 17 weeks, earning us our first gold record as BLACKMORE'S NIGHT, a project close to our hearts and as untouched territory, a new genre for us to bring to the world.
"Our music is an escape from the stress and pressure of modern times. Journey back through time with us, to a simpler, magical time where music enters your heart and soul.
"We are honored to be 'back home again' with our friends and colleagues of Edel.
"BLACKMORE'S NIGHT has returned with our new CD, fans have been waiting for five years, and we are excited to be able to pair up again with Edel to bring it to them."
"Here We Come A-Caroling" track listing:
01. Here We Come A-Caroling (Vinyl Side A)

Jane Marie Apolinaire Léro (also Jeanne Léro; born February 8, 1916, Le Lamentin, Martinique – July 17, 1961, Martinique) was a feminist and communist activist from Martinique.

Biography
She was born the fifth child in a family that would eventually grow to eight children. Her parents had a small mercantile business. She studied at the colonial boarding school (Pensionnat Colonial) for girls in Fort-de-France before continuing onto the lycée Schoelcher; at the time, it was unusual for a female student to choose this secondary school because it specialized in math and science. Léro earned the highest honors for her work in mathematics and received her baccalauréat in math in 1937 or 1938.

Because of her gender, she was unable to travel to France as a youth to receive higher education, like two of her brothers. Her brothers Thélus and Etienne contributed to the radical Martiniquais student journal Légitime Défense while they were both students in Paris in the 1930s.

Léro opened a small store that became a meeting spot for politically active Martinicans. She began to read the literary magazine Tropiques, in which authors such as Aimé Césaire advanced new theorizations of colonization, politics, and race.

Activism
Léro joined the Communist Party in 1943. In 1944, the first election in which Martiniquais women were able to vote, she organized electoral campaigns and participated in conferences. She also wrote articles for the party's magazine Justice.

In June 1944, Léro led the foundation of the Union des Femmes de la Martinique (l'UFM; Union of Women of Martinique) at the behest of the Communist Party. Her sister-in-law Yva Léro was also a founding member. The feminist organization brought together communists and democrats and fought for causes such as social security, healthcare, education, and nutrition. It was radical in its critique of socioeconomic inequality and provided many social services for women ignored or underserved by the French government. Health care was a main focus. Voting was also central to its mission. She served as its president until 1947 or 1949, when she departed for France to pursue higher education in social work. Léro earned a degree in social work in Paris in 1951 and worked in France for several years.

Léro returned to Martinique in 1956 to organize social services in the department of Fort-de-France as a government employee. The political landscape had changed, and she was torn between allegiance to the communist party and her friendship with the Césaires.

She died in 1961; her cause of death remains unclear.

Honors
Her life and work have been re-centered in Martiniquais history beginning in the early 2000s. She has become the subject of the work of scholars such as Clara Palmiste, Cécile Celma, and Annette Joseph-Gabriel.

The domestic violence response center of the Union of Women of Martinique in Fort-de-France was renamed the "Jane Léro Building" in 2002.

On the second day of Christmas Hollywood gave to me. . .
One of the best things I love about Christmas are the Christmas movies. Every year my sister and I pull out our favorite movies and commence to watching. We laugh. We cry. We recite lines.
And without further ado here are my favorite Christmas movies. What are your favorites?
I'm working on a post of my favorites to go up next week, but Elf and A Christmas Story are definitely on the list!
Elf is also one of my favorites. I watched Home Alone this week – love that one. I also like Bad Santa, although it's really bad! And I have to watch Charlie Brown Christmas every year.


I've taken my love of agriturismi to a whole new level. Now instead of using them for overnight stays only, I'm treating them like destinations. We did dinner at Agriturismo La Cerra outside of Tivoli before hitting the fountains at night at Villa d'Este. HIGHLY recommend La Cerra. We may hit up dinner again there some other night. They have an awesome playground and animals to see with some darn tasty food from Cinta Senese pigs. Molto affordable as well.
Meh on the Villa d'Este fountains at night. We didn't get home until midnight; it was a lot of hassle with the kids. It could have been a romantical styles date night, but I think I like the fountains by day even more. I think I expected colored lights, music, something. Nope.
I also keep trying to make Abruzzo happen. We enjoyed our weekend there, but the weather threw us. Undeterred, we headed out for lunch at Il Timo, an agriturismo in Abruzzo, on a Saturday. I thought the mountains would be cooler. Nope. Direct sun. Very hot. The grilled meats were pretty tasty though. This place had pretty adorable cabins for anyone considering an overnight.
Last weekend we finally tried Podere Spedalone, a very highly recommend agriturismo outside of Pienza. It is on the pricey side, but it did live up to the hype. Picture sipping prosecco watching the Tuscan sunset before a fantastic four course dinner. These guys have the creature comforts down. Water bottles by the pool, soft towels, fancy wine gifted on departure. They are also super friendly and helpful. If it wasn't more of a splurge, we'd be back there on the reg.
On the local front, we enjoyed the Banksy exhibit. Highly recommend if you can squeeze it in before it closes September 4. We squeezed in another lake day at Martignano. Not too shabby.
The Cardinal of the Kremlin is dunskies! Into Clear and Present Danger. The Summer of Clancy continues. I've settled into a new routine on this. I have to at least touch the Clancy book each day. Maybe only for two pages. But it is enough to keep me interested in the story and not forget what is happening. I usually read a few books at once so this works for me.
The kids are still funny. And talk about vino.
Could ride-on suitcases by the answer to travel with young kids? I'm skeptical with the two yahoos, but I'm definitely curious.
So much for a link post. I'll get on this. What have you been up to in August?
Hi! How are you? I saw your amazing blog its so awesome! That's why I followed you 😀 Wow! I hope to read more of your post. I hope we could be friends also. 😀 Nice meeting you.


A lot of bands come and go. Many musicians aspire to last long in the music business but only those who create really good rock songs can transcend time and perform in sold-out concerts even until today.
The 80s is an era that has produced numerous rock bands. Some say that it is the golden age for rock stars and rock bands. Here is a list of bands that are still doing their thing today.
A mere mention of Steven Tyler resonates rock band aura. He is the lead singer of Aerosmith. This band was formed in 1971 when Tyler, Joe Perry, Joey Kramer, Tom Hamilton, and Ray Tabano met each other. Originally from other bands, they started making music in Boston, Massachusetts. Guitarist Ray Tabano was later replaced by Brad Whitford.
Aerosmith produced some of the most iconic songs of its time. "Walk This Way" was a great influence on music fans because of the creation of a new genre, that is, rap-rock. This was a collaboration between Aerosmith and Run- D.M.C. Another song that reached number 1 in the US Billboard Hot 100 is "I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing." It was the soundtrack of the movie Armageddon which starred Bruce Willis.
Today, Aerosmith still sings their songs in music halls in Las Vegas and around the world.
The Who is an English band that was formed in the 1960s. It was one of the most influential rock bands of all time. Some rock stars that we have today even see them as idols and rock gods.
The original group was made of Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, Keith Moon, and John Entwistle. They are mostly recognized for their contributions to music like the development of a synthesizer, new guitar techniques, playing styles, and the creation of Marshall Stack.
For the Russian fans, it is good to know that most of the band members now reside in лас вегас. You can get cheap flight deals if you would like to see them perform their hit songs live.
How about you? Are you fans of this two legendary rock bands? What are the bands that will make your list?

Was trip to Trento Sviluppo supermarket a "transactional decision"?
Written Osborne Clarke	on 10 Feb 2015
Who: Trento Sviluppo srl ('Trento Sviluppo') and Centrale Adriatica Soc. coop. arl ('Centrale Adriatica'), Autorità Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato (the Italian competition authority (the 'AGCM'))
Where: Court of Justice of the European Union
Just over a year ago, a small but important decision on the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive (2005/29/EC) (the 'Directive') was handed down by the CJEU. The decision was not widely reported at the time, but has recently come to marketinglaw's attention. It's an important decision, with the CJEU not only resolving an apparent ambiguity between different-language versions of the published Directive but also ruling on the scope of what counts as 'taking a transactional decision' for the purpose of the Directive.
The case centred on an Italian supermarket in the province of Trento, Trento Sviluppo. Centrale Adriatica, which provides services to Trento Sviluppo and other supermarkets in its group, had launched a promotional leaflet for the group in March 2008 advertising a discounted laptop. A consumer complained to the AGCM that the leaflet was inaccurate, as they had visited Trento Sviluppo's store during the promotional period, but the laptop had not been available.
The AGCM fined Trento Sviluppo and Centrale Adriatica. The retailer and service provider each appealed to the Lazio court, which dismissed both appeals. Undeterred, both companies then appealed to the Italian Council of State against the judgments at first instance.
The Italian Council of State decided that it was unable to adjudicate the proceedings until it had resolved what it saw as an uncertainty with the relevant part of the Directive it was required to apply – Article 6(1).
Article 6(1)
Article 6(1) reads as follows (in the English version):
'A commercial practice shall be regarded as misleading if it contains false information and is therefore untruthful or in any way, including overall presentation, deceives or is likely to deceive the average consumer, even if the information is factually correct, in relation to one or more of the following elements, and in either case causes or is likely to cause him to take a transactional decision that he would not have taken otherwise:
(b) the main characteristics of the product, such as its availability …'
So what did the Italian court need clarifying about Article 6(1)?
The wording which had caused the issue were the seemingly innocuous words 'and in either case', underlined in the above extract. EU Directives are released in all the 24 official languages of the European Union. In the Italian version of the Directive this wording had been rendered as 'e in ogni caso'. The German version of the directive used the phrase 'und… in jedem Fall'.
The issue was that the above Italian and German expressions also had the potential to mean 'and in any case', which, the court felt, suggested that a commercial practice would be misleading if any of the following were true:
(a) it contained false information… or
(b) deceived or was likely to deceive … OR
(c) caused consumers to take a transactional decision which they otherwise would not have taken.
Conversely, the English, French and Spanish versions of this Article (which used wording equivalent to 'and in either case') suggested a commercial practice would only be misleading if:
(b) deceived or was likely to deceive … AND, in addition to one of (a) or (b), it
(c) was likely to cause consumers to take a transactional decision which they otherwise would not have taken.
The Italian court therefore wanted to know which test they needed to apply to the promotion at hand.
What did the CJEU say?
The CJEU ruled that the correct interpretation of Article 6(1) was the second one – for a commercial practice to be misleading under Article 6, it must be likely to cause a consumer to take a transactional decision.
The court made clear in its ruling that wording used in one language version of an EU Directive could not be the sole basis of interpretation, or override other language versions. In the event of an apparent conflict, the provision of the Directive must be interpreted in light of the 'purpose and general scheme' of the rules of which it forms a part. After considering related Articles of the Directive, the court concluded that the second interpretation was clearly what was meant.
Additionally, CJEU gives its view on interpretation of 'transactional decision'
However, in order to assist the Italian court further, the CJEU also addressed what constituted a 'transactional decision' for the purpose of Article 6(1). The court made clear that this was broadly defined by Article 2(k) of the Directive. A transactional decision would cover not only a consumer's decision whether or not to purchase a product, but also any decision directly related to that decision, for example the decision to travel to and enter the shop.
The CJEU sent both of these decisions back down to the Italian court to assist them in making their decision as to whether Trento Sviluppo and Centrale Adriatica's promotional activities had been misleading.
Why does this matter:
The initial referral to the CJEU centred on resolving linguistic differences in versions of the Directive. However the most interesting point in this case is the wide view that the CJEU elected to take on 'transactional decisions'.
It follows from the judgment that if an advertisement containing false information or likely to deceive is likely to cause consumers to take any form of action towards making a purchase, that will be sufficient to constitute a transactional decision, and bring the advertisement into the category of misleading advertising. Given that the vast majority of advertisements contain some form of call to action, it seems likely that the likelihood of encouraging a transactional decision may be found in most circumstances.
National courts will consider this piece of CJEU case law when looking at consumer law cases under local implementations of the Directive (in the UK, the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 as amended).
It is therefore more important than ever for advertisers to ensure that their advertisements do not contain false information and are not deceptive, including offers indicating the availability of items on special promotion.

Commentary. A resolution in European Parliament, with reckless disregard for the historical truth, assigns equal responsibility for the Second World War to Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia. Predictably, this document was approved by right-wingers but also, disappointingly, with the votes of the Popular Party and of the so-called 'Socialists.'
The scourge of 'reversism' unites Europe, from the Italian Democrats and Orban
written by Angelo d'Orsi
The recent resolution of the European Parliament, based on a false equivalence between Nazism-fascism and communism, represents both a bastardization of history and a political monstrosity. Furthermore, it is also a resounding confirmation of the superfluity of this institution.
If we really want a united Europe, and if we want it built as it should be—that is, rebuilt from the founding principles up—then the European Parliament as it is should be eliminated altogether. Case in point: a group of gentlemen enjoying great privilege, who spend their lives in little more than idleness, have formulated a text based on embarrassingly half-baked scholarship, without rhyme or reason. It's a very long document, full of presuppositions and internal references to legislation focused on European unity, but, alas, unfortunately including a series of summary judgments which purport to be historical, but are actually an example of the worst possible kind of ideological revisionism.
In short, we are dealing with a prominent example of historical reversism, something that is seldom talked about and condemned enough, but which represents the supreme manifestation of revisionism, the end result of a long labor of cultural subversion which has passed from the academic realm into the public debate through the medium of professional journalism and politics.
Reversism can lead to such extreme outcomes that traditional revisionism doesn't dare approach, and this document is a prominent example of this.
Its underlying thesis, reached through reversist interpretation and of which we have seen many manifestations in Italy, is the outright reversal of the historical truth, based on a fraudulent parallelism—which unfortunately has illustrious precedents in political philosophy—between fascism and communism, between fascism and anti-fascism, and between "partisans" and "republicans" (to focus just on the case of Italy).
All this is built on the basis of the nefarious theory of a "shared legacy" of both sides—which in this supposedly "European" document is referred to in the singular—as a source of the common identity for the continent, with which this legislative body, representing only a certain (however large) part of it, claims to identify. It must be recalled that the European Union is not identical with Europe itself, and that the European Parliament and the EU do not express the feelings, thoughts, sensibility—nor, I would add, the will—of the hundreds of millions of citizens of the 27 member states.
That said, this resolution, with reckless disregard for the historical truth, assigns equal responsibility for the Second World War to Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia, claiming in particular that it was the "immediate result" of the Ribbentrov-Molotov Pact, and emphasizing—again, in an example of grotesque violence to historical reality—that the political unity of the Old Continent is an answer to both "Nazi tyranny" and "the expansion of totalitarian and undemocratic communist regimes," citing with praise the laws in a number of member states which have already "banned the use of both communist and Nazi symbols," and calling upon the other EU states to follow this model.
Curiously, this document, produced by the latest crop of historical illiterates, uses the words "historical revisionism" to refer exclusively to revisionism about Nazism and its inherent genocidal project, while it presents its own historical interpretation as unmistakably correct and beyond any doubt, to the point of demanding it be enshrined into law.
And what is the political proposal which comes as the culmination of this incredible example of outright historical lies, together with political and moral debasement? It is a demand for official condemnation of "all manifestations and propagation of totalitarian ideologies, such as Nazism and Stalinism," and for conducting "a clear and principled assessment" which will put this recommendation into practice: in the end, what it aims for is nothing less than taking measures to prevent the existence, spread and circulation in the member states of any ideologies and symbols that recall either Nazism or communism.
In short, Europe must follow the shining examples of Poland, Hungary and the Ukraine: it must forget the crucial role played by Russia, which is given the label of a "victim" country, but whose role as a bulwark against Nazi-fascism, confirmed by all historical research, is not to be recognized. This document, which seems directly inspired by German, Polish and Hungarian revisionists, contains enthusiastic words celebrating the reception back into "to the European family of free democratic countries" of the countries liberated from the Soviet yoke, while, quite amazingly, citing "their accession to the EU and NATO" as similarly praiseworthy achievements, in an unacceptable mishmash of Europeanism and Atlanticism.
Predictably, this document was approved with the votes of the right-wingers of Orbán and company—but also, disappointingly, with the votes of the Popular Party and of the so-called "Socialists," including the representatives of the Democratic Party. With this, the PD has clearly signaled its definitive disavowal of the international left—and even worse, its disavowal of all decency and dignity.

Tommy Heaney is Head Chef and owner of Heaneys Cardiff. Born in a small town just outside of Belfast called Crumlin, Tommy's culinary experiences have been a journey. He first started in the kitchen in America, where he washed dishes over the school summer holidays at his uncle's restaurant, Legends, in Maryland. Drawn to the competitive yet creative nature of the kitchen, Tommy soon had a clear ambition, to become Head Chef as fast as possible. Self-taught Tommy quickly achieved this, and with his mission accomplished he continued to hone his skills in the US.
Returning to the UK at the age of 18, Tommy landed a job with chef Tony Hughes, who taught Tommy a repertoire of classic culinary techniques, adding to his already vast amount of self-study. Feeling confident about his cooking, Tommy was set for his next adventure which took him to Australia, then to Thailand and then to London where he worked with Richard Corrigan. Coinciding with the start of a new family, Tommy moved out of London and soon found himself running Restaurant Tommy Heaney at The Great House in Bridgend. It was here that Tommy was able to combine his learnings and influence from the people that he had worked with to create his own signature style. Simple, pared-back, contemporary and technically accomplished with a focus on minimal waste of the ingredients he uses.
Rave reviews followed and an invitation to appear on BBC's Great British Menu (2018) confirmed Tommy's reputation as one of the UK's most exciting culinary talents. It was then, that with his own life savings, no investment support and a popular Kickstarter campaign, the eponymous restaurant, Heaneys, opened in October 2018 – Tommy's first solo venture. The 50-seater restaurant is centred on sharing plates and offers a daily changing menu making the most of what's in season and available from his trusted suppliers. Tommy plans to open an adjoining restaurant and bar which will give Tommy the opportunity to incorporate more of his heritage and worldly adventures. The future looks bright for Tommy Heaney – his real journey starts here.

Personal injury fraudster avoids jail
A man who took a fraudulent personal injury action claiming he suffered a debilitating back injury in a car crash has avoided a jail term.
Wed, 11 Dec, 2013 - 16:05
Raymond Smith (29) is the first person to be prosecuted under the Civil Liability and Courts Act 2004 for providing false or misleading information during a personal injury claim.
He was caught when DVDs emerged of him taking part in cage fighting competitions after the car crash.
He had faced a maximum prison term of ten years and a fine of up to €100,000.
Smith of Cairn Court, Poppintree pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to knowingly giving false or misleading information to a solicitor at his home in an affidavit during a personal injury claim on September 27, 2010.
Smith received a three-year suspended sentence after Judge Mary Ellen Ring said that an example had to be made of people "willing to make false claims for financial reward".
She said the message should go out that anyone who engages in this activity will face criminal prosecution as well as fines as determined by the Civil Courts.
Judge Ring said that while the case was first of its kind, it "was not dissimilar in nature to others were people make false assertions either under oath during a trial or as in this instance while swearing an affidavit."
Detective Garda Niamh Guchian told the court that Smith was involved in a crash in August 2009.
A car ran into the back of his vehicle causing him to go to the Mater Hospital for treatment.
Smith had been disqualified from driving at the time of the accident having earlier been convicted of dangerous driving.
He later returned to hospital several times complaining of back pain and reduced movement of his spine. Doctors performed an x-ray and prescribed medication to ease the pain.
Smith initiated a personal injury claim against the owner of the car who struck him. He was successful and the Circuit Civil Court awarded him €7,500.
The defendants in the action then appealed the decision and the case was heard by Mr Justice Nicolas Kearns in the High Court.
During the appeal proceedings the defendants presented evidence of Smith engaging in Mixed Martial Arts competitions or "cage fighting" at various times from the date of the crash up until the court date. Details of competitions he had entered and DVDs of him fighting were shown to the court.
A doctor gave evidence on behalf of the defendants that someone with the type of back injury claimed by Smith would not be able to take part in such activity.
Mr Justice Kearns found in favour of the defendants and ordered that the details of the case be handed over to the DPP for possible criminal prosecution. He also ordered Smith to pay the costs involved in the case which was an estimated €12,194.
Smith was arrested last year and during interview admitted he had failed to disclose details of his cage fighting.
He said that a combination of medication, physiotherapy and yoga allowed him to take part in the sport.
Det Gda Guchian told James Dwyer BL, prosecuting, that Smith lives at home with his parents and has a partner and three children.
He has three previous convictions for dangerous driving, assault causing harm and possession of a dangerous article.
Defence counsel Damien Colgan SC told Judge Mary Ellen Ring that it was a "crime of omission" and that Smith already has a large bill hanging over him resulting from the civil action costs.
Counsel said Smith is currently doing a physical training course in DCU and asked the judge to allow him finish this.

The aniseed taste of fennel can split people into love or hate camps. When used raw, it is not too pronounced, and comes across as clean and fresh rather than heavy and liquorice-like. If the jury is out for you, then maybe this preparation can persuade you.


This was taken out of my bedroom window. What a view, eh? I did modify it however, to give it less distraction. There was a bit of a haze over the mountains the day this was done. It isn't very often Mt Baldy exposes itself with snow. Typically, there's cloud cover over it in the Wintertime. So, when I saw this I immediately grabbed the camera and captured this image.
I imagine myself atop a mountain claiming victory and shouting it out loud to the World.
What about you? How do you imagine yourself? How does this image speak to you? Please comment and let me know.
This is a personal project that will not show up in my web store. I do have the original if anyone would like to purchase it for their own use. Just let me know.

Outsourcing data services to the cloud is a nature fit for cloud usage. However, increasing security and privacy concerns from both enterprises and individuals on their outsourced data inhibit this trend. In this dissertation, we introduce service-centric solutions to address two types of security threats existing in the current cloud environments: semi-honest cloud providers and malicious cloud customers. Our solution aims not only to provide confidentiality and access controllability of outsourced data with strong cryptographic guarantee, but, more importantly, to fulfill specific security requirements from different cloud services with effective systematic ways.
problem caused by semi-honest cloud providers and introduce a novel proxy-based secure data outsourcing scheme. Specifically, our scheme improves the efficiency of traditional proxy re-encryption algorithm by integrating symmetric encryption and proxy re-encryption algorithms. With less computation cost on applying re-encryption operation directly on the encrypted data, our scheme allows flexible and efficient user revocation without revealing underlying data and heavy computation in the untrusted cloud.
To address specific requirement from different cloud services, we investigate two specific cloud services: cloud-based content delivery service and cloud-based data processing service. For the former one, we focus on preserving cache property in the content delivery network and propose CloudSeal, a scheme for securely and flexibly sharing and distributing content via the public cloud. With the ability of caching the major part of a stored cipher content object in the delivery network for content distribution and keeping the minor part with the data owner for content authorization, CloudSeal achieves security and efficiency both theoretically and experimentally. For the later service, we design and realize CloudSafe, a framework that supports secure and efficient data processing with minimum key leakage in the vulnerable cloud virtualization environment. Through the adoption of one-time cryptographic key strategy and a centralized key management framework, CloudSafe efficiently avoids cross-VM side channel attack from malicious cloud customers in the cloud. Our experimental results confirm the practicality and scalability of CloudSafe.

Is Pusha T The First Rapper to Silence Drake?
by Juanita Ramos | Apr 21, 2019 | Entertainment | 1 comment
We don't give Pusha T the credit he deserves.
Drake is unfuckwithable. He's easily the most celebrated rapper of our generation. Overall, Drake has won 123 awards from 532 nominations, including 4 Grammys. The Canadian rapper and child actor has managed to be the face of American Hip Hop, a culture that has typically been reserved for everything Drake isn't. He is a permanent fixture on the billboards and easily one of the most recognized rappers in the industry.
The Meek Mill vs Drake beef had everyone on their toes. Meek Mill was in his feelings because Drake didn't tweet about his new song that had a Drake feature. Meek's sense of entitlement to free promo got him slaughtered in a lyrical battle that left us embarrassed for Meek. When Meek declared to the world that Drake didn't write his own rhymes on Twitter, Drake grabbed a pen and ethered Meek. He dropped "Charged Up", taking shots at Meek with lines like "Done doing favors for people/Cause it ain't like I need the money I make off a feature/I see you ni**as having trouble going gold/Turning into some so and so's that no one knows." Charged Up was just an appetizer. Meek Mill, whose entrance into the rap game was through battle rap, didn't use his lyrical skills to come at Drake. Instead, he went soft and took to Twitter, saying a lot of nothing. Drake capitalized on his silence and released Back to Back within days. Aubrey did not come to play. The cover art for the track even featured MLB player Joe Carter, who led the Toronto Blue Jays to a 1993 World Star Victory against none other than the Philadelphia Phillies.
Seriously, this battle was a no-brainer. Meek released Wanna Know and Left Hollywood but you would be hard pressed to find anyone who can recite one memorable line from either track. The battle rapper definitely lost to the self described "singing ni**a". Ouch.
Then Pusha T came along. Drake must have still been high off his win from the Meek battle but someone should have told him Pusha T is a rapper rapper. A wordsmith. A contender. Pusha might not have the following Drake has but none of that matters in battle rap. Pusha's beef wasn't with Drake so much as it stemmed from a 15 year beef with Lil Wayne over the track What Happened to That Boy and an argument over clothes. (I know, super petty)
Fast forward to 2011, Pusha dropped Don't Fuck With Me, dropping subliminals against Drake on a track he sampled from Drake (Dreams Money Can Buy). Shots were fired when Pusha quipped "Rappers on their sophmores/Actin like they boss lords." From then on, it was war. This new generation may not know Pusha T but I'm sure they heard him when he said "Contract all fucked up/I guess that means you are all fucked up/You signed to one ni**a that's sighed to another ni**a/That's signed to three ni**as, now that's bad luck."
Bars.
Then 2016 came. Pusha dropped HGTV. You could hear a pin drop when Pusha said:
It's too far gone when the realest ain't real
I walk amongst the clouds so your ceilings ain't real
These niggas Call of Duty cause their killings ain't real
With a questionable pen so the feelin' ain't real
Rap's John Grisham
I can paint the picture with the words if you listen (shh)
The bar's been lowered, the well's run dry
They beefin' over melodies, but no, not I (yugh)
See I'm so top 5
If they factor in the truth I just might blow by
You could tell Pusha got under Drake's skin. Drake responded with "Two Birds, One Stone" and retorted with:
But really it's you with all the drug dealer stories
That's gotta stop, though
You made a couple chops and now you think you Chapo
If you ask me though, you ain't lining the trunk with kilos
You bagging weed watching Pacino with all your niggas
Like, "This what we need to be on," but you never went live
You middle-man in this shit, boy, you was never them guys
I can tell, 'cause I look most of you dead in your eyes
And you'll be tryna sell that story for the rest of your lives
Eh. It's bars but it's not bars bars.
Then Pusha dropped Daytona. It was written like Nas after that. Pusha revived the ghostwriter accusations against Drizzy spitting "the lyric pennin' equal/ the Trumps winnin'/The bigger question is how the Russians did it /It was written like Nas but it came from Quentin". In case you missed it, it's a reference to Quintin Miller, who allegedly wrote Drake's verse on Meek Mill's track R.I.C.O.
Drake must have thought he could "Meek Mill" Pusha. Within 24 hours, he dropped Duppy Freestyle, which noticeably took shots at not only Pusha, but Kanye West too. You could tell he tried to bait Kanye but Yeezy remained silent and let Pusha do the talking.
Nicki Minaj decided to chime in and defend her label mate. "N*ggas gonna fuck around and run that Quintin shit into the ground" she said. The irony of Nicki talking about a ghost writer is laughable in retrospect given her barely successful efforts after her and her alleged ghost writer broke up. But that's another article for another day.
Then Pusha dropped The Story of Adidon using a picture of Drake in black face as the cover art, which has since been removed from social media. Drake pulled a 50 cent and got lawyers involved, which was weak. Pusha came at Drake from every angle on this track. Pusha dissed Drake's parents, his friend "40" who suffers from multiplesclerosis, his rumored deal with Adidas and most notably, a secret son with former adult film star Sophie Brussaux.
Game over. It was at this point Pusha T won the battle.
Soon after, Drake went public with an apology and explanation about his picture in black face. Drake isn't African American, he's a half black Canadian. People wanted answers and Pusha put Drake on the defense and things got uncomfortable. He also released a statement confirming the birth of his son, saying he wasn't trying to hide his son from the world, he was trying to hide the world from his son.
Whatever that means.
Then Drake went radio silent. He got his mentor J Prince to call a truce "before things went to far". Drake isn't a gangsta rapper, how far would it have went?
Daytona will go down as one of the top ten battle songs in history against one of the biggest artists in the game.
Drake lost and experienced a major L that gets glossed over with accolades and excuses. Drake will hide behind his accomplishments but none of that matters in a rap beef. Drake may have been able to obliterate Meek Mill but Pusha T played chess and proved that the best rappers in the game aren't always the most popular.
Pusha won.

AO VET's Cassio Ferrigno looks to the future
As AO VET Community Development Commission Chairperson Cassio Ferrigno has handed the reins to his successor, Bruno Peirone, he recounts with pride the many community development achievements since he took on the role in 2015.
Cassio Ferrigno
Ferrigno, a small animal specialist who earned his Ph.D. in veterinary surgery and began his career at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil, took on the role as AO VET Community Development Commission chairperson before it was a formal entity.
"When I started as chairman, I was by myself, and one of my goals was to establish social media to engage with our members and to market our courses and activities. Another goal was to have a real commission, and it was formed two years ago with participants from the four major AO VET regions," he says.
Real engagement, the actual value
The engagement Ferrigno envisioned is essential, because he knows all the value the clinical division brings to veterinary orthopedic surgeons worldwide.
"Our educational opportunities are evidence-driven," Ferrigno explains. "And, due to our global orientation, we can go anywhere in the world, and we often learn from surgeons in other parts of the little world things that can improve our surgeries and patient outcomes. The exchange of knowledge is among the best in the world, and we need to ensure that our online teaching is the same gold-standard quality as our on-site courses."
In addition to harnessing social media to engage the AO VET network and attract new members, the clinical division has made an agile pivot to online education in order to counter the shortage of on-site, face-to-face courses during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"The pandemic affected community development a lot. Participants are very happy with our webinars and we have had an excellent turnout to these events, which we have offered as free, open education to the world," Ferrigno says. "This opened a window of opportunity to offer AO VET masterclasses during the AO Davos Courses 2020, allowing participants to learn from master surgeons as faculty."
A better surgeon and teacher
Ferrigno first encountered AO VET in 1995 when he took part in an AO Trauma course in Brazil. That enticed him to participate in the popular AO VET courses in Ohio—the longest-running annual AO courses offered outside Davos, Switzerland—where he met AO VET luminaries Jörg Auer and Alessandro Piras and discussed taking AO VET to Brazil. It wasn't long before that vision became a reality—and Ferrigno became chairperson of AO VET Latin America.
"Thanks to AO VET, I have become a better orthopedic surgeon, and through our networking opportunities, I have gotten to know the main players in veterinary orthopedics around the world," he says. "AO VET has also made me a better teacher, not only through teaching with the best but through the AO Faculty Education Program (FEP) and the AO Chairperson Education Program (CEP)."
This summer, he will take his AO VET-influenced expertise to the University of Tennessee (Knoxville, United States), where he has accepted a position as Associated Professor in veterinary orthopedics. It's the realization of a long-time dream and a step into a future that—naturally—will include continued camaraderie with the AO VET network around the world.

app.component.ts:
    import { Component, OnInit, Input } from '@angular/core';
    import { FormBuilder, FormGroup, Validators, FormControl, FormArray } from '@angular/forms';
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
 @Input() model: any;
form: FormGroup;

ngOnInit() {

this.sharedService.getData().subscribe(data => {
  this.items = data;
  console.log(this.items);
});

this.form = this.fb.group({
        multiDynamic: this.fb.array([
          this.model.toGroup()
        ])
      });
  }

}

console.log(model.questions) gives the following (expanded array),
0:Textbox {controlType: "textbox", key: "url-links", text: "url-links"}
1:Textbox {controlType: "textbox", key: "//input[@id='rcmloginuser']", text: "//input[@id='rcmloginuser']"}

3:Textbox {controlType: "textbox", key: "//input[@id='rcmloginsubmit'] ", text: "//input[@id='rcmloginsubmit'] "}

I am using the above html and ts files and if i give this line,
<input id="i" type="text" class="form-control" [formControlName]="question.text">

i am getting error as,
Cannot find control with path: 'multiDynamic -> 0 -> url-links'
In label,
 {{question.text | titlecase}}

the text value is getting displayed but if i give formControlName in input box, then i am getting this error.
I am using angular's dynamic form.
this.model.toGroup() is having the following,
export class DynamicFormMultiModel {
    questions = [];
multiDataResponse: any = [];
form: FormGroup;

toGroup() {
    const group: any = {};
    this.questions.forEach((question) => {
        group[question.key] = new FormControl('');
    });

    return new FormGroup(group);
}

    patchData() {
        const arrayGroup: any = {};
        const dataRes: any = [];
        const resObj: any = {};

        // this.multiDataResponse.forEach((element, index) => {
        //     this.questions.forEach((question, inx) => {
        //             arrayGroup[question.key] = new FormControl(element[question.key]);
        //     });
        // });
        resObj['data'] = this.multiDataResponse;

    // return new FormGroup(arrayGroup);
    return resObj;
    }
}

As i am having nested codes i am unable to post the entire code but i am getting data and its displaying in label but the input tag is throwing error. (Both contains same value question.text).
Attached the screenshot of the scenario.

Kindly help me to fix this stucked for too long time in it..
