Goodbye (for now!) from SEEN, Vulture's Pop-Up Art Magazine
By Carl Swanson@carlstwitt
Spend 47 days in the art world with Seen.

Wow, has it been 47 days already?
Don't worry, art coverage will continue on Vulture, and in the print mothership, New York. But maybe not at such a furious pace. Big thanks to Whitney Mallett, my colleague in this project, writing and editing and finding all sorts of amazing writers from all over the world. But of course none of this could have happened without our critic, coach, head cheerleader and presiding spirit, Jerry Saltz. Did you read his epic how-to piece on 33 Rules for becoming an artist?
We had 27 artists including Mickalene Thomas, Raúl de Nieves, and John Waters share with Jerry the best and worst advice they ever got, and from whom.
We met with established artists: Francesco Clemente, who worried that New York is too safe a place these days to produce very good art; Ron Athey, who has aged out of putting things in his butt onstage; Peter Halley, who reminded us that the 1980s were no party; emailed with Judy Chicago, on how she'd wanted to become a pyrotechnician but was sexually harassed by the guy teaching her; and returned, with Christo, to those Miami islands he wrapped in plastic 35 years ago. We interviewed Catherine Opie, who made a bleak film; Banu Cennetoğlu, who made a very long film; Julian Schnabel, who made a film about van Gogh; and Lyle Ashton Harris, who had thoughts about the film Black Panther.
And we got to know some not-yet-famous artists, including: Sable Elyse Smith, Ebony G. Patterson, Ryan McNamara, Zoe Crosher, Hiba Ali, Nicole Wittenberg, Kayode Ojo, Kevin Beasley, Eva LeWitt, Matthew Leifheit, Anna Uddenberg, Rose Nestler, Jillian Mayer, Omar Victor Diop, Anna Maria Maiolino, and Jake Kean Mayman.
We went to a "retrospective" for emerging artists in Bushwick and reconsidered Andy Warhol on the occasion of that Whitney retrospective.
We had dispatches from Baltimore, Miami, Singapore, Shanghai, Dallas, Toronto, Puerto Rico, and Queens, and looked into whether you'd be better off quitting the art-world rat race in New York or L.A. and moving back to your hometown to start a gallery (with ten case studies of people who did just that.) From Detroit, we had an update on the future of the Heidelberg project, now that it is being removed from its ramshackle historical home as that city gentrifies.
We recalled how cheap pre-gentrified New York was in late '60s, with a price list from Paula Cooper's first show, and how hard it is to make creative things happen here today now that even Bushwick is gentrified, with a report on the shutting down of Signal gallery.
We got invited to few parties, including the Hirshhorn gala, the Gregor Hildebrandt after-party; and got ourselves on the list to the Art Basel Miami Beach Prada VIP club.
We found out that Alexander Calder and Ellsworth Kelly were pals and that Georgia O'Keeffe did her best to thwart her sisters' artistic ambitions; and remembered Oksana Shachko, the groundbreaking FEMEN artist who took her own life.
Shortly before the midterms, we asked if the art world had any real political influence after all. We scrutinized the politics of a show about the black model in art history; weighed whether the NYC Gay Liberation monument whitewashed queer history; suggested strategies to #brownupyourgallery; asked if blockchain would just turn the art world into a commodities market; and wondered if it was possible to quit Instagram and still be a successful artist.
Anyway, it's all here.


You are here: Home | Exhibitor search | Arsenal Firearms S.r.l .
It all started 2005 when my passion for historical weapons found its way to reality. Miniature Arsenal was born in the basement of a museum, housing most historical weapons available in the world. Together with real gun specialists, 3D-Simulation engineers and people who really know all about weapons, the biggest reverse engineering project ever started. Practically the complete history of small weapons found its way into more than 150 models, all available in 3D machine drawings and built for collectors all over the world.
Doing this inspired me, encouraged by my wife Suzana, to go further and not limit myself to miniatures, which are the most complex products in itself. Together with my former partner the idea was born to develop something new. Something that happens only every other decade in our lives. The brilliant idea of a new lock was born: The AF-Speedlock. Based on this lock, which promised unique features to any handgun, due to its characteristics of avoiding a tilting lock like the browning lock, a team in firearm R&D, ballistic research and real life operative police and military users of small weapons, have produced a totally unique and fresh approach designing a new pistol: The STRIKE ONE. Many thousands sold proved that the new technology is a real breakthrough in the market and higher targets where set. Beside the development of the famous 1911 double barrel pistols, also featured in the last James Bond movie, in record time, another creative gun innovator was added to the team: Mike Brown. He brought fresh ideas into a new line of rifles.

Thinking Of Investing In Tuesday Morning Corporation (NASDAQ: TUEM) Stock? Read This First
Tuesday Morning Corporation (NASDAQ:TUEM) shares, rose in value on Friday, 01/07/22, with the stock price down by -4.76% to the previous day's close as strong demand from buyers drove the stock to $2.00.
Actively observing the price movement in the last trading, the stock closed the session at $2.10, falling within a range of $1.95 and $2.11. Referring to stock's 52-week performance, its high was $5.01, and the low was $1.00. On the whole, TUEM has fluctuated by -17.70% over the past month.
3 Tiny Stocks Primed to Explode The world's greatest investor — Warren Buffett — has a simple formula for making big money in the markets. He buys up valuable assets when they are very cheap. For stock market investors that means buying up cheap small cap stocks like these with huge upside potential.
We've set up an alert service to help smart investors take full advantage of the small cap stocks primed for big returns.
With the market capitalization of Tuesday Morning Corporation currently standing at about $161.76 million, investors are eagerly awaiting this quarter's results, scheduled for Feb 03, 2022 – Feb 07, 2022. As a result, investors might want to see an improvement in the stock's price before the company announces its earnings report. Analysts are projecting the company's earnings per share (EPS) to be -$0.03, which is expected to increase to -$0.07 for fiscal year -$0.32 and then to about $0 by fiscal year 2023.
Analysts have estimated the company's revenue for the quarter at $242.67 million, with a low estimate of $242.67 million and a high estimate of $242.67 million. According to the average forecast, sales growth in current quarter could jump up 22.20%, compared to the corresponding quarter of last year. Wall Street analysts also predicted that in 2023, the company's y-o-y revenues would reach $790.34 million, representing an increase of 14.40% from the revenues reported in the last year's results.
Revisions could be a useful indicator to get insight on short-term price movement; so for the company, there were no upward and no downward review(s) in last seven days. We see that TUEM's technical picture suggests that short-term indicators denote the stock is a 100% Sell on average. However, medium term indicators have put the stock in the category of 100% Sell while long term indicators on average have been pointing out that it is a 100% Sell.
1 analyst(s) have assigned their ratings of the stock's forecast evaluation on a scale of 1.00-5.00 to indicate a strong buy to a strong sell recommendation. The stock is rated as a Hold by 0 analyst(s), 0 recommend it as a Buy and 1 called the TUEM stock Overweight. In the meantime, 0 analyst(s) believe the stock as Underweight and 0 think it is a Sell. Thus, investors eager to increase their holdings of the company's stock will have an opportunity to do so as the average rating for the stock is Overweight.
The stock's technical analysis shows that the PEG ratio is about 0, with the price of TUEM currently trading nearly -7.96% and -16.31% away from the simple moving averages for 20 and 50 days respectively. The Relative Strength Index (RSI, 14) currently indicates a reading of 39.30, while the 7-day volatility ratio is showing 7.27% which for the 30-day chart, stands at 7.55%. Furthermore, Tuesday Morning Corporation (TUEM)'s average true range (ATR) is 0.16. The company's stock has been forecasted to trade at an average price of $6.00 over the course of the next 52 weeks, with a low of $6.00 and a high of $6.00. Based on these price targets, the low is -200.0% off current price, whereas the price has to move -200.0% to reach the yearly target high. Additionally, analysts' median price of $6.00 is likely to be welcomed by investors because it represents a decrease of -200.0% from the current levels.
Data on historical trading for Tuesday Morning Corporation (NASDAQ:TUEM) indicates that the trading volumes over the past 10 days have averaged 0.31 million and over the past 3 months, they've averaged 376.27K. According to company's latest data on outstanding shares, there are 84.31 million shares outstanding.
Nearly 12.20% of Tuesday Morning Corporation's shares belong to company insiders and institutional investors own 76.80% of the company's shares. The data on short interest also indicates that stock shorts accounted for 3.03 million shares as on Dec 14, 2021, resulting in a short ratio of 9.36. According to the data, the short interest in Tuesday Morning Corporation (TUEM) stood at 3.54% of shares outstanding as of Dec 14, 2021; the number of short shares registered in Nov 14, 2021 reached 2.95 million. The stock has fallen by -12.28% since the beginning of the year, thereby showing the potential of a further growth.

Unlock Your Hip Flexors publication is most likely one, although guides have been assessed by me about working out and weight loss. Though other programs mainly speak about how to train and exercise to drop weight or get fit, this manual teaches us about the advantages of loosening the hip flexor muscles (psoas) which contributes to belly fat loss, having more energy, better sexual performance and a whole lot more. To tell the truth, I did not know a great deal of things about psoas or hip flexors, and tight flexor muscles are so poor. I was curious when I bought the ebook.
I want you to know that the creators of this product are reliable, legitimate Health Fanatics who have a lot of experience in the Health and Fitness sector, before we leap into the meat and potatoes of this review. Among the creators, Mike Westerdal, is the proprietor of criticialbench.com. The reason is since he has done a few collaborations with the most important dude Elliott Hulse. Hulse has over 1 million subscribers on his Channels, so I had a fantastic impression that the information being supplied was going to be untrue when I saw that Mike was the co-author of the product.
There are several people all around the globe who suffer from such symptoms. I think, the majority of them would never believe that these problems may come from the hip flexors which can be treated with the right stretches.
That is where the Unlock Your Hip Flexors Guide comes from. It provides you all the information your need to take care of those them the right way. You are going to learn the most effective exercises and other tips to keep these muscles loose.
Inexpensive, once I purchased it was only 10 dollars, but the information is well-written and simple to follow by everyone. Additionally, it has given good results for a lot of people.
It is suitable for anybody. Whether or not you're a complete beginner or a pro athlete. You will learn method also to get rid of the stiffness you might have and to be more flexible. Along with your core strength will be a lot better as well.
It is especially suggested for people who suffer with lower back or neck pain that's principally brought on by psoas muscles that are tight. These issues will remove slowly, if you do these exercises daily.
Composed by reputable fitness pros who have excellent credentials in their area. They know what they are talking about.
As with 99 percent of the other products I have reviewed, upon purchasing the item I was met with a lot of upsells. To be honest, the first one seemed good; it looked like a lot of information to assist you heal more human anatomy pain/injuries and help stop it from occurring in the future, along with a few other stuff.
it's a solution that is digital, and that means you need another device or a computer to download the PDF and follow the instructions. Although, it is possible to print it if you would like.
Also, |O }there are too that's pretty annoying. I really don't understand why they didn't put of the information. But it is a sale strategy. Anyway, the book without extras is sufficient since it contains all the information you will 19, to buy.
Great, that is. Much like some of the other crappy products which are overpriced and full of free advice like Fat Loss 4 Idiots (probably the worst product I've ever reviewed). The quantity of quality information that is provided within this item is good. The thing that I liked the most is that not only does Mike and Rick provide you with the information/exercises about how to fix the issue, but they also highlight the importance and explain how the"health" of your hip flexors impacts your general quality of life. They start off with some background understanding of their human anatomy and biomechanics of the hip flexors. After instructing the reader on the logistics about the hip flexors, they go into significant detail as to the way"unhealthy" hip flexors affect the quality of your life. Before viewing the exercises showing you how you can loosen up the hip flexors, I could already tell this product was legit; it provides you with a little bit of information about the logistics of this hip flexors, then it really taps into the emotional buttons that humans have an accentuates the annoyance which includes unhealthy hip flexors which forces the reader to pay attention and take action.
I believe the fact that they supply not only text and pictures but also videos. To possess the routine supplied in both formats helps a lot with someone who's hoping to do itit can be difficult to follow a workout with just some words and a couple of images, so the video seals the deal.
The thing which I'd add is that buying this item also gave me access to an extra 4 bucks which seemed valuable and beneficial. I mean, who doesn't love free stuff?

Q: Passing facebook access token to server backend I have an Android app that I built that logins with facebook android sdk.
It recieves a long term access token (the one you normaly get with a default login button). And pass it to a server backend.
The server backend login to facebook with the access token.
The app is in release mode (signed apk).
The problem is, This works only for me (the developer). When distributing the app to my friends, the app logins to facebook but the server backend can't use the token (for them, for my account this works fine).
The facebook app is not in sandbox mode (in sandbox mode, only I can login with the android app. You see everyone can login with the android app now, problem is, only i the developer can forward the token to the server and use it).
Anyone knows why?

A: Thanks Heshan for the quick reply.
For whoever encounters a similar problem in the future the problem was:
Server backend runs an HTTP server, if someone logins with the website, the server asks for permissions: public_profile (default), email.
Android application didn't have permissions set so it only asked for public_profile (default), and not email.
Since I logged with the website first, my account had two permissions for the app.
All the others logged with the Android app, and only approved public_profile. Hence the error.

Before building qemu, you install the libfdt and zlib libraries where your toolchain will find them. If you are not cross-compiling, skip this section (because your toolchain will find them in the usual /usr/lib).
The prefix here is /opt/crosstool/gcc-3.4.5-glibc-2.3.6/powerpc-440-linux-gnu/powerpc-440-linux-gnu. (Basically pick the last ".../include" path and go up one directory.) Use that prefix to install zlib and libfdt.
make will produce qemu/ppcemb-softmmu/qemu-system-ppcemb. You must transfer that executable and qemu/pc-bios/bamboo.dtb to the target.

'Smallville' star Allison Mack pleads guilty to racketeering charges in sex cult case
Allison Mack, the 36-year-old actress best known for playing Chloe Sullivan in the CW superhero series Smallville, has pleaded guilty to racketeering and conspiracy charges for her involvement in the secret sex trafficking cult NXIVM.
"I have come to the conclusion that I must take full responsibility for my conduct and that's why I am pleading guilty today," Mack said in court, according to the New York Post. "I'm very sorry for the victims of this case. I'm very sorry for who I've hurt though my misguided adherence to Keith Raniere's teachings."
Self-help guru Keith Raniere supposedly created NXIVM as a multi-media marketing company "to raise human awareness, foster an ethical humanitarian civilization, and celebrate what it means to be human." However authorities allege that Raniere and Mack, who rose to be his second-in command, manipulated the women into "master-slave relationships" and exploited them for sex and labor.
The women were allegedly forced to perform services under the threat of serious harm, adhere to strict diets of only 900 calories a day, and endure a ceremony in which Raniere's initials were branded into their skin with a hot cauterizing pen.
In an expose by The Hollywood Reporter, people involved with the New York-based organization described Mack "as incredibly intimidating, cruel and punitive," and claimed she "threatened to release the collateral she had gathered on them if they didn't sleep with Raniere."
In April 2018, Mack and Raniere were arrested and charged with sex trafficking, sex trafficking conspiracy, and forced labor conspiracy. The minimum sentence is 15 years in prison, with the possibility of life in prison if convicted. Raniere and others from his inner circle pleaded not guilty and denied all wrongdoing. Initially, Mack pleaded not guilty as well, but reversed her decision hours before jury selection was scheduled to begin.
Mack's unfortunate journey began by attending with a 2006 women's empower seminar thrown by NXIVM. After meeting Raniere, she joined the group, and reportedly rose to lead the arm Dominus Obsequious Sororium, which is Latin for 'Master Over Slave Women.' As the second most senior member, Mack became responsible for recruiting and monitoring slaves - and even she wasn't exempt from some rules.
"I took one look at Allison and I knew she was involved romantically and sexually with Keith," an unidentified former NXIVM member told THR. "She had a gray pallor that was common to Keith's women because they all start to get a little sickly. I know I did. They drop weight. Their heads get too big for their bodies so they become bobbleheads. It's scary-looking."
One whistle blower, Frank Parlato, NXIVM's ex-publicist said Mack never had "the ability to be an excellent body servant or valet... But she had the ability to bring women to Raniere's bed. She procured some startling beauties." Meanwhile, a former flatmate told THR she believed Mack was brainwashed: "I don't think she was thinking she was actually trafficking girls. It doesn't mean she doesn't deserve punishment, but I think she had drunk enough Kool-Aid to really believe that these girls were going to save the world with [Raniere's] super-sperm."
On Monday, Mack confessed to her involvement with Dominus Obsequious Sororium, owning a sex slave, and instructing women "to perform services for me," the New York Post reports. She said the system was "designed to make them think they could suffer serious harm" if they did not comply, since they handed over damaging collateral like nude photos and financial details.
"Through it all, I believed that Raniere's intention was to help people. I was wrong," Mack said Monday, according to the New York Daily News. She is scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 11.

I have board certification in Anatomical/ Clinical Pathology and Cytopathology along with fellowship training in Gastrointestinal Pathology. My clinical service responsibilities include interpretation of Cytopathology, Gastrointestinal, Liver, Pancreato-biliary, general Surgical Pathology biopsy and resection specimen. I am also involved in providing intra-operative frozen section service. I contribute to the autopsy service as well.
My areas of interest include fine needle aspiration Cytopathology, gastrointestinal and liver Pathology. The Cytopathology fellowship training at Wayne State University involved high-volume and diversity of specimen. It helped me acquire diagnostic acumen under the guidance of experienced mentors. The Gastrointestinal Pathology fellowship training at Indiana University has a large number of in house and consult cases. The Hepatology / Liver Pathology service is one of the largest divisions in the country with enormous breadth to clinical expertise, along with a large patient and procedural volume, thus contributing immensely to the learning experience.
I enjoy teaching medical students, residents and fellows during the microscopic sign-out sessions and gross evaluations. I would also be giving core curriculum lectures.
I look forward to pursuing clinical research and collaborative multi-disciplinary endeavors in Liver, Gastrointestinal Pathology and Cytopathology.


Every year, Christopher and I have our own little Academy Awards predictions contest. Last night's ceremonies were my own personal best, where I successfully predicted 20 out of 24 winners. The only categories I missed were Foreign Language Film (who saw Japan coming?), Documentary Short (pretty much a crapshoot every year), Sound Mixing (thought The Dark Knight would sweep the sound categories), and Art Direction (went out on a limb and predicted The Duchess). Christopher, who usually beats me at these things, will have to eat humble pie tonight. I voted differently in Kris' sock monkey contest, where I only got 9 of 12 right.
As for the TV broadcast of the awards: I love the acting nominations being presented by five previous winners. It's a novel idea that could have been mawkish in execution, but they pulled it off in a heartfelt way. Hugh Jackman was a pretty good host, loved his enthusiasm. But that hyper number with overexposed Beyoncé? Ouch!
i only caught the end of the oscars. it airs here twice. once live and then again with chinese subtitles. unfortunately, the tv channel airing(for most of asia) it opted to edit the second airing removing the words "gay" and "lesbian" from any speech. the station has gotten flack for it, but not nearly enough as far as i'm concerned.

These Whole30-friendly portable mini frittata muffins filled with protein and veggies are a family-friendly favorite for packed lunches! Egg muffins for the win!
Truth be told, this recipe was inspired by Ms. Rachel Ray.
I realize I'm always pushing frittatas, but how can anyone refuse a tasty iteration where the mini egg muffins are wrapped by a crispy prosciutto shell? Salted pork makes everything taste better.
Preheat oven to 375°F and prep the veggies.
Heat two tablespoons of avocado oil over medium heat in a large cast iron skillet and sauté the onions until soft and translucent.
Add the garlic and mushrooms and cook them until the mushroom moisture has evaporated. Then, season the filling with salt and pepper and spoon it on a plate to cool to room temperature.
For the batter, beat the eggs in a large bowl with coconut milk, coconut flour, salt, and pepper until well-mixed. Then, add the sautéed mushrooms and spinach and stir to combine.
Brush the remainder of the avocado oil onto the muffin tin and line each cup with prosciutto, taking care to cover the bottom and sides completely.
…and top each muffin with some halved cherry tomatoes.
…flipping the tray at the halfway point (i.e. rotating the tray 180 degrees).
Let the muffins cool in the pan for a couple minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Can a Buyer Actually Save Money?
LAST MONTH WE SAW THAT SALES AND discounts are often phony. How, then, can a buyer actually saves money?
If you have not yet chosen a brand to buy, probably the best way to save money in the very long run is to buy the best, most durable piano that money can buy—one that will last for generations and depreciate very slowly. Naturally, the Steinway comes to mind as the best example.
Unfortunately, in the shorter (and more realistic) run, many of us can't afford a Steinway. Another tactic might be to seek out brands that are less expensive because they are less well-known, or are made in a country where labor is cheaper. Some of these brands, especially the Korean ones, are now comparable to medium-quality pianos made in America.
If you have decided on a brand of vertical piano, and have not yet chosen a particular model, the best value will often be found with the school or institutional model. They are ruggedly built, of adequate size, and cost much less because of their plain styling. Continental-style verticals are the next best value for the same reason, while American decorator-style pianos offer the least value for the money, as far as the musical instrument is concerned.
Two friends of mine went shopping for a piano on which their young son was to begin taking lessons. Having shopped around, they settled on a medium-quality console piano marketed by an American company. The piano was actually manufactured by a Korean company (as indicated by a tag on the back), but it bore the American company's name. The couple offered several hundred dollars less than the $2,600 price, expecting to negotiate. To their surprise, the salesman refused to budge. "I think it's a fair price," he said, and that was that.
Next, my friends went to another dealer, where they saw exactly the same model, in the same style and finish as the one they had unsuccessfully bargained for, except that it had the Korean, instead of the American, name on it. It was selling for only $2,300— $300 less than the identical piano with the American name. They were tempted to buy this piano, but decided that they would prefer a piano with an American name on it, even if it were not actually made here, so they continued looking.
Finally, they went to a store in another town, in which they found the same model with the American name, but, alas, not with the finish they preferred. So they made the salesman an offer: If he could get them the piano with the finish they wanted, and deliver it to their home with bench and tuning included, they would be willing to pay $2,100—and no sales tax. This may seem like an outrageous offer, but the salesman picked up the phone, called the first store the couple had visited to ascertain that they were talking about the same piano, and then accepted the offer. My friends now have in their home exactly the same instrument that they had refused to buy at $2,600. The actual cost was 25% less than that.
Just what the relationship was between the first and the last stores, and why the last store was willing to accept the low price, I don't know. Perhaps the dealer was tight for cash, and was willing to forgo some profit in order to make a sale. My point is that opportunities for negotiating a lower price are there to be had. You may not be as brash as my friends were, but you can at least ask for the lowest price at which the salesperson would be willing to sell you the piano—a more genteel and diplomatic way of asking for a discount.
The story I have told you also prompts me to add a strong word of caution about doing business this way. When you buy from a dealer that habitually sells at absurdly low prices, chances are that the pianos are not being serviced properly and that you may have trouble getting good warranty service, should you need it. Many of a dealer's costs are fixed; there is a limited number of ways to reduce costs in order to produce low prices, and too often service is the first to go. Dealers that do this are often the first to go, too. This may not matter much if you are buying one of those perfect Japanese pianos, but for any others, especially American-made models, you may end up sorry you got such a "great deal."
Sometimes a salesperson will offer to throw in a lamp or some piano lessons, instead of offering to discount the piano's inflated price. If these items don't interest you, say so and ask for a lower price instead.
Sometimes dealers offer commissions to piano teachers and technicians for referring customers, but the dealer cannot afford both to pay a commission and to offer you a big discount. If the dealer must pay a commission, it limits his or her ability to negotiate with you. Commissions make sense from a business point of view, but they present some problems ethically. How unbiased can such a referral be under those circumstances? If you are referred by a teacher or technician, you may want to ask them whether they will be receiving a commission and, if so, whether they would be willing to forgo it or split it with you.
If you already own a piano, the dealer may offer you a substantial trade-in allowance on a new piano. If so, however, you are less likely to be given a discount off the "list price" of the new piano. You will usually come out ahead if you sell your old piano privately, and use the money toward a negotiated price on the new piano. Actually, accepting a trade-in can be a nuisance for the dealer; many would be happy to give you a better price just to avoid having to deal with the used piano.
Sometimes piano technicians or re-builders also sell new pianos out of their homes or shops. Because they may not be dependent on these sales as their principal source of income, and because the pianos may be taking up extra space that would otherwise go unused, and since the homes or shops may not be located in a prime business location with a high overhead, their profit margin may be much less than that of a regular piano dealer. Sometimes the brands they sell will be little-known because, naturally, a manufacturer prefers to give a franchise to a larger dealer in a good location who can sell many pianos. As I mentioned a few months ago, little-known does not necessarily mean low-quality. One drawback, though, is that due to limited space and capital, the selection of models, styles, and finishes is bound to be limited.
Whether you pay cash or buy on time is unlikely to affect a piano's price. Likewise, finance rates will probably be comparable whether you finance through the dealer or on the outside, though the dealers usually finance only for a shorter term. Nonetheless, you should shop around for financing. If you're buying a very expensive piano, you may well save a bundle, over the long run, by borrowing at a lower rate on the increased equity in your home.
Virtually every piano on the market, except Steinway, comes with a bench included in the price. It's not an extra.

Q: How do I choose what type of transistor to use? I'm working on a project that will have an Arduino Nano 33 IoT controlling a MG996R Servo. The goal is to get the batteries to last as long as possible, as it will always be on, and will only rotate the servo 2-4 times per day. The Servo's signal pin can be controlled by the Arduino, but if the Servo's power pin is connected directly to power it will constantly draw power even when the it is not being used, so I want to use a transistor to cut off its connection to power and save the batteries. I also want the transistor to take as little power as possible between the collector and emitter pins so the servo can be at as close to full power as possible (I don't care about the base pin as long as it can be controlled by a 3.3 V PWM pin on the Arduino Nano).
How do I decide between BJT or FET transistors? And within those categories how do I determine which will be best for my project? If you can tell me which one, GREAT! But I'm really looking for resources so that in future projects I know the difference and can pick which transistor will be most efficient for my projects.

This isn't exactly how my project will look, but it is close and the best visual representation I could figure out how to make. My project will have 5 V input and an Arduino Nano instead of the Uno.

A: Silly to entertain using a BJT for this. You want to use a P-channel MOSFET. You can turn it on with another (small) N-channel mosfet such as a BSS138. See below.
It is true that the control signal to the servo may need to be low at all times when the PMOS is switched off. I haven't played with servos enough to be sure about that. You may need to write your code so that after you turn on the PMOS, wait 50ms or something before you start controlling the servo. And stop controlling the servo before you turn off the PMOS. By "stop controlling the servo" I mean force the control signal to be low continuously.

Q: How to call Parameterized Stored Procedure in C# (ASP.Net)? I am developing a web application in which I want that the user enters a string in a textbox and on click of search button; it will search the entire database for a user entered string (i.e it will display the Database name, Schema Name, Table name,Column Name and Record Name in a grid view).
I had already written stored procedure in SQL and executed it successfully where stored procedure search for entered string in database and insert the data in a table named tempdb.dbo.result.
Here is my stored procedure for string search in a database:
Use tempdb
GO

Create Table Result
(
    [Sno] int identity(1,1),
    [Database Name] sysname,
    [Schema Name] sysname,
    [Table Name] sysname,
    [Column Name] sysname,
    [Record Name] varchar(Max)
)

USE TestDB2
GO

CREATE PROCEDURE Find_Record_Across_Tables_Proc
     @Database sysname,
     @Schema sysname,
     @Table sysname,
     @String VARCHAR(Max)
AS
    DECLARE @SqlString varchar(Max)
    DECLARE @Table_Schema sysname
    DECLARE @Table_Name sysname
    DECLARE @Column_Name sysname

    --Declare Cursor
    SET @SqlString = 'DECLARE String_cursor CURSOR FOR
    Select TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME ,COLUMN_NAME from
    ' + @Database +'.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
    Where DATA_TYPE IN (''text'',''ntext'',''varchar''
    ,''nvarchar'',''char'',''nchar'')'

    --Filter schema name
    IF @schema IS NOT NULL
    Begin
        SET @SqlString = @SqlString + ' And TABLE_SCHEMA=''' + @Schema + ''''
    End

    --Filter table name
    IF @table IS NOT NULL
    Begin
        SET @SqlString = @SqlString + ' And TABLE_NAME=''' + @table + ''''
    End

    Print @SqlString
    EXEC (@SqlString)

OPEN String_cursor

FETCH NEXT FROM String_cursor
INTO @Table_Schema, @Table_Name, @Column_Name

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
SET @SqlString = 'IF EXISTS(SELECT ' + QUOTENAME(@Column_Name)
+ ' FROM ' + @Database + '.' + QUOTENAME(@Table_Schema)
+ '.' + QUOTENAME(@Table_Name)
+ ' WHERE ' + QUOTENAME(@Column_Name)
+ ' Like ''%' + @string + '%'')
Insert into tempdb.dbo.result
([Database Name],[Schema Name]
,[Table Name],[Column Name],[Record Name])
SELECT ''' + QUOTENAME(@Database) + ''','''
+ QUOTENAME(@Table_Schema) + ''','''
+ QUOTENAME(@Table_Name) + ''',''''
+ ''' + QUOTENAME(@Column_Name)
+ ''',' + QUOTENAME(@Column_Name)
+ ' FROM ' + @Database + '.'
+ QUOTENAME(@Table_Schema)
+ '.' + QUOTENAME(@Table_Name)
+ ' WHERE ' + QUOTENAME(@Column_Name)
+ ' Like ''%' + @string + '%'''
Print @SqlString
EXEC (@SqlString)

FETCH NEXT FROM String_cursor
INTO @Table_Schema, @Table_Name, @Column_Name

END
CLOSE String_cursor
DEALLOCATE String_cursor
GO

I had successfully executed this stored procedure in SQL through these commands:
Use TestDB2
GO

EXEC Find_Record_Across_Tables_Proc
'TestDB2(My database name)', NULL, NULL ,'string to be searched'
GO

Select * from tempdb.dbo.result
GO

Now whenever I execute (call) this parameterized stored procedure from a web application, the compiler shows no exception on calling the stored procedure, but it will only run the select query in BindGrid().
Here is the my code for that:
public partial class WebForm1 : System.Web.UI.Page
{
     DataSet ds = new DataSet();
     SqlConnection con;

     protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
     {
     }

     protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
     {
         String value = TextBox1.Text.ToString();

         con = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyDbConn"].ConnectionString);
         con.Open();

         SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Find_Record_Across_Tables_Proc", con);
         cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;

         cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Database", "TestDB2");
         cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Schema", "NULL");
         cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Table", "NULL");
         cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@String", value);

         cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
         con.Close();

         this.BindGrid();
     }

     private void BindGrid()
     {
         string constr = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyDbConn"].ConnectionString;

         using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(constr))
         {
             using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Select * from tempdb.dbo.result"))
             {
                    using (SqlDataAdapter sda = new SqlDataAdapter())
                    {
                        cmd.Connection = con;
                        sda.SelectCommand = cmd;
                        using (DataTable dt = new DataTable())
                        {
                            sda.Fill(dt);
                            GridView1.DataSource = dt;
                            GridView1.DataBind();
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

A: In your button_Click for the cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();  just assign a int value i
Ex:
 int i =cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
 if(i>0)
 {
     this.BindGrid();
 }

Update
Note :  i see you are passing the DB and also Schema as a parameter in the procedure but in the connection string you will be defining this, It will be useful when you are doing from the SQL but while coming to the application you need not use them because you will be stating the web-config which database and schema , so that it will be a redundant .

KAZU (BLONDE REDHEAD)
Adult Baby Tour
Tickets: 21 € zzgl. Gebühren
KOKA36 Greyzone Tickets
Genre: Electronic, Pop
Mesmerizing is the word for "Adult Baby", the first solo record by Kazu Makino, to be released on September 13th on Adult Baby Records, her new label. After nine albums with Blonde Redhead, New York based band in which she had accompanied the Italian twins Simone and Amedeo Pace as singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, the Japanese American artist has plunged into a new musical adventure, and is now prepared to re-present herself to the world in a completely new persona, intimate and totally unique. In the new tracks of "Adult Baby", there are echoes of Blonde Redhead here and there, but the record represents Kazu in her purest and most visceral essence.The result is a record that is hard to classify – a guarantee of great value – but that in terms of attitude and sound could be described as rooted in refined, avant-garde pop, in which Kazu's warm and sensual vocals are the main vehicles that bring to life an ethereal, delicate, dreamy world, and at the same time exhibit a rare intensity, which morphs into episodes of seductive romanticism.Adult Baby", an album she co-produced with Sam Griffin Owens, with contributions from significant pioneers of the global pop, electronic, rock and indie scenes such as Ryūichi Sakamoto, the Brazilian percussionist Mauro Refosco (Atoms for Peace, Red Hot Chili Peppers, David Byrne) and the acclaimed drummer Ian Chang (Son Lux, Landlady). A surprising journey in sound, based on an intriguing mix of synthesizers, moog, loops, percussion, snippets of piano and grand melodic orchestral breaks that remind the listener of Serge Gainsbourg and the soundtracks of certain Italian movies from the Sixties. It's no use fighting it: once you have set foot on the planet Kazu, you are immersed in otherness.

Q: Getting token eof in power query While trying to use a custom formula to find the sales' bonus for employees, I was using the following formula as it was shown in Microsoft's support video.
Bonus
= IF[Total_Sales]>25000 then [Total_Sales]*0.025 else 0.
However, in the second [Total_Sales], I am getting token eof, and can't apply the formula. Any suggestions as to what should I do?
P.S: I have started to learn about Power Query, and other Macro formulas.

A: Is that exactly your formula?  If so you need to use the proper lower case on the if, and no ending period.  Powerquery is case-sensitive
IF[Total_Sales]>25000 then [Total_Sales]*0.025 else 0.

should be
if [Total_Sales]>25000 then [Total_Sales]*0.025 else 0


Thursday, May 10, 2018 8:42 a.m.
While I believe we have seen the top of the 2009 – 2018 bull market, I have noted for months the possibility April/May would produce a Q1 earnings rally. We have had many false starts. Yesterday's jump may signal a breakout, however pre-market futures trading does not confirm it.
Projections for Q1 earnings continue to increase, The market should reflect that even if vastly overvalued Q1 earnings reports are giving the Street a good reason to buy.
Factset projects a Q1 earnings gain of 24.2%, that's up from +17.1% on March 31. For 2108 they see a gain of 19.5%.
S&P 500 earnings projections for Q1 currently run a smidge above +23%. The market should respond positively as Q1 earnings are released.
The 10-year treasury bond has been rising sharply over the last two weeks and now stands at 3.0%. The prospect for higher rates is one reason for buyers' hesitation to chase stocks. A jump above 3.0% could trigger a sell off.
Thompson Reuters reports the S&P 500 sells at 18.8 times earnings and 16.1 times a year from now. All this versus a 10-year average of 14.3.
The Shiller P/E runs much higher at 31.7 times earnings versus a mean of 16.9. Shiller's P/E is based on inflation adjusted earnings over 10 years.
The S&P 500 price to sales ratio is 2.2 vs. an average of 1.49. Before the 2007-2009 bear market it stood at 1.5 x.
The bull market is now nine years and two months old (108 months). That's 3.5 times the average of the last 15 bull markets.
The current economic expansion has lasted 106 months. That's 47 months (1.8x) longer that the average expansion going back to 1945. Nine out of the last 10 recessions have occurred with a Republican in the White House.
The onset of bear markets lead the beginning of recessions by 8.5 months going back to 1956, so don't look for a recession to signal a bear market. The longest lead time was 13 months (1968 – 1969) The "mode" (most frequent) is 12 months.
After countless failed attempts, a Q1 earnings rally may be underway. Wednesday's jump was encouraging, but based on futures trading, we need a follow through today.
While the market is overvalued even based on year-ahead earnings, the Street must find it hard to ignore a 24% Q1 earnings increase.
I have been looking for May to mark a turndown in the market after a peak in January, the end to the March 2008 – 2018 bull market.
The mid-term elections are looming. Historically, the party out of power gains seats, which would not sit well with the Street.
But, people vote what's in their pockets now, not what may not be in their pockets in the future.
I don't think the Korean crisis is front and center with many voters. It's always been there as an issue, but upstaged by other global problems.
I don't expect North Korea to give up nukes, ergo don't expect much progress on that end, though North and South Korea, and China may go ahead with trade deals leaving (you guessed it) the U.S. outside looking in.
South Korea's President Moon Jae-in deserves a lot of credit for what is happening. In July 2017, Moon released his plan for a united Koreas with three different belts , two by sea, one by DMZ. He followed that up by presenting North Korea's President Kim Jong-un with an outline for "New Economic Map of Korean Peninsula." Obstacles to fulfilling an agreement would be NOKO's military and Trump who insists on nukes coming out.
Trump has announced he is pulling out of the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement effectively demonstrating the United States cannot be trusted. China, Russia, United Kingdom, France, Germany, and the European Union) will stay, Iran will honor the deal (for now), leaving the U.S. outside looking in.
The United States continues to isolate itself from allies and potential allies – not smart.
If the Mueller investigation doesn't come up with results before September, results would be postponed until after the elections so as not to influence the outcome.
Be damn sure Mueller will release a host of administration-damaging information, indictments, etc. before September sending the market into a tailspin.
Look for yet another attempt by the market to break out and run. We have seen big days, but no follow through. This indicates institutions are raising cash, not aggressively, but enough to put a lid on the market.
Even so, yesterday's jump in prices may have been the push this rally needs. A strong follow through today is needed.
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has been forced to resign raising a question about New York's investigation of alleged crimes committed by the Trump team. In the interim, Amy Spitalnick will serve in his place. Her credentials are impeccable. Her appointment is important in the event Trump pardons associates (himself) in face of indictments arising from the Mueller investigation. Trump's pardons would not extend to states.
Corporations got a 40% tax cut. What did you get ? 1.2%, 1.5%?
Beware of any amendment attached to a Congressional bill to protect Special Counsel Mueller that would enable Republicans to impede Mueller's investigation. Network television has overlooked this possibility even though Republican Senator Chuck Grassley has proposed one.
FYI: The S&P 500 gained 36.6% in Obama's first year, but only 23.7% under Trump. Obama inherited the worst bear market since the 1930's, Trump inherited an accelerating bull market supported by a stable economy. If Obama's first year gain is calculated from the Bear market bottom March 6, 2009 shortly after he assumed office, the gain would be 74.2%.
The sooner, Americans recognize these are not genuine Republican conservatives, but extremists determined dismantle that which has been achieved over the years and replace it with "their" brand of a quasi-fascist state. Ben Franklin was right when asked what kind of government the Founding Fathers had given us. "A Republic, if you can keep it," was his respons.

EVE Online: Dominion Expansion Released
Posted on December 3, 2009 by Flames
CCP, one of the world's leading independent game developers, today launched EVE Online: Dominion, the 12th free expansion for the highly successful sci-fi MMO, EVE Online. The battlefields of the universe will be gorged with wrecks as the player alliances of EVE, some over five thousand pilots strong, adapt to the new way in which territory is conquered and held. EVE Online: Dominion is designed to catalyze player relationships, whether brief and antagonistic, protracted and mutually beneficial or anywhere along the spectrum—bringing the greatest opponents ever created, other players, into closer conflict.
EVE's Lead Game Designer, Noah Ward, explains the driving force behind Dominion. "Our goal for EVE is to maximize human interaction and then leverage it to make a more meaningful, interesting game. Dominion was designed to give players more tools to mold their experience with better means of communication and extra rounds of ammunition. Undoubtedly, the compelling intrigue we've seen in EVE will never end as pilots fight to bend the universe to their will."
Sovereignty changes require fresh strategies for those interested in controlling space, doing away with the entrenched siege battles of the past in favor of more active conflict. Alliances will now have unprecedented control over their territory, the power to change them to suit their own goals and playstyles. Their actions in controlled space will affect the valuable resources which become available to them through system upgrades, allowing them to increase the number of wormholes, valuable asteroid belts and even pirate forces within their borders.
Doomsday Devices, the ultimate weapons of the Titan class ships, have been re-engineered to deliver a massive, decisive blow against a single target. This change is the tip of the spear. Many ship classes have re-emerged from the shipyards to carry the pilots that fly them to victory.
Two of New Eden's most infamous pirate factions have opened up their coffers to those willing to dip into the underworld through two of new Epic Mission Arcs. The Guristas and the Angel Cartel favor speed over might and riches over morality. For those pilots willing to turn their backs on the safety of the Empires of New Eden, the pirate factions represent an expanded opportunity to engage in the cat and mouse games of more dangerous space.
CCP is also deploying a Fleet Finder tool with Dominion, empowering pilots to mobilize quicker when a threat lurks on the other side of the gate or when an extra ship is all you need to finish a mission.
Improving existing technology is always a part of every expansion. For EVE Online: Dominion, a new in-game browser based on modern, secure and robust technology, as well as a revamped mail system with standard tagging tools to help keep the mail organized are the foundation of a larger community development initiative that will be deployed early in 2010.
And last, but certainly not least, the planets of EVE are getting a major graphic overhaul as CCP continues its planned graphic upgrades to the game. Varied planets, from desert to ice, glow with unique beauty, orbited by harsh moons that show the scars and craters of their ancient formation. In the distance massive gas giants swirl with chaotic storms, and in the depths of space the stars are revealed in even more glory than before.
More information on all of these features and more, including the EVE Online: Dominion trailer, can be found on the feature page.
About EVE Online
Set tens of thousands of years in the future, EVE Online is a breathtaking journey to the stars, to an immersive experience filled with adventure, riches, danger and glory. With over three-hundred thousand subscribers worldwide inhabiting the same virtual universe, EVE features a vast player-run economy where your greatest asset is the starship, designed to accommodate your specific needs, skills and ambitions.

Caroline Garcia reacts to winning the biggest title of her career at the WTA Finals
Caroline Garcia, 29, described winning the WTA Finals as «a great happiness» as she was proud of her campaign in Fort Worth, Texas. On Monday, Garcia defeated Aryna Sabalenka 7-6(4) 6-4 to win the prestigious season-ending tournament.
Garcia, who captured her first WTA 1000 title in Cincinnati over the summer, is now the WTA Finals champion as well. "It's definitely a lot of giant happiness. A crazy final, a lot of intensity at each point. Really proud of the work we did throughout the year.
It was a great match, I really did. I am very happy to win my biggest title,» Garcia said, according to the WTA website.
Garcia over the edge I'll tell you
The first set could not have been tighter as there was not a single break point during the first set.
In the tie break, Garcia won six points in a row to open a 6-2 lead before converting her third set point to win a tight opener. After winning the first set, Garcia broke Sabalenka in the first game of the second set and then held serve the rest of the match to complete a straight-set victory.
"Just very happy about the mentality, being really calm at all times. All the negative emotion doesn't get to me, and that was really a big part of taking the few chances I had in the tiebreaker and the first game I broke it in the second,» Garcia added.
The final between García and Sabalenka was decided by a few points. After the match, Garcia admitted that the key for her was delivering when it mattered most. "Sometimes you are emotional or things don't go your way.
I mean, sometimes there's a big fight, so you have to find your way through it. Some points, where nothing can be done. Just try to put the return and run as fast as you can to the other side. And that was one of the most important points that I improved. Today one of the most important things was to stay calm and take advantage of every opportunity,» Garcia explained.

Q: Querying nearest item I have a table which has timestamp as range_key. My aim is to retrieve the item which has nearest date to a given timestamp. When I query like that t.query(hash_key="somename", range_key_condition = db.boto.dynamodb.condition.LT(1389799297)) it gets all items less than given timestamp naturally and I take nearest one. I can also achieve this by using BETWEEN comparator by substructing some constant seconds from current time and query between these timestamps and select the last one which is nearest to the original timestamp. If it returns no result than I decrement a bit more and retry until I have a non-empty result set.
I am also wondering what happens when I call query function above? After query with that function we also need to use result_set.next_response() function to get elements. In the first function do only the offsets of the items on disk are determined and than with next_response function they are being retrieved from disk?

A: Migrate to DynamoDB v2 and use limit on the query:
t.query(
    hash_key__eq="somename",
    range_key_condition__lt=1389799297,
    reverse=True,
    limit=1

Take a bow: India's Women in Blue achieve highest partnership in ODIs, trounce SA in final
India's openers shared a 300-run opening stand against Ireland becoming the first pair in history to achieve the milestone.
TNM Staff
indian women's cricket 750×500.jpg
It's not often that India's women's cricket team finds a mention but this past week will go down as one to remember. Not only did the team win a quadrangular ODI tournament in South Africa beating the hosts, but it also managed a hitherto unaccomplished feat.
Deepti Sharma and Punam Raut were the openers who put on 320 runs for the opening wicket.
Then in the final, Mithali Raj who struck her sixth consecutive fifty and Jhulan Goswami, who incidentally became the highest wicket taker in ODIs, combined well to give India a memorable win.
The team's performance came in for praise from the BCCI. Acting Hony. Secretary, Amitabh Choudhary, said: "The Indian Women's team are on a record-breaking spree in the Women's Quadrangular Series and I congratulate them for their all-round show. It started with Jhulan Goswami becoming the leading wicket taker in Women's ODIs and today we have witnessed a plethora of records."
History of women's cricket in India
The year 1973 saw the birth of legends Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar, besides the launch of Project Tiger by the Indira Gandhi government. However, 1973 also saw a major development in cricket – the formation of the Women's Cricket Association of India.
This ushered in the beginning of women's cricket in India.
Based on the 1973 Societies Act, Lucknow and under the Presidency of Begum Hamida Habibullah, Mahendra Kumar Sharma passed the registration of the Women's Cricket Association of India. The first few years saw slow progress, with a few inter-state nationals being held.
It was in 1976, when the women's team came into the limelight after they outplayed West Indies at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru to register their first-ever Test win.
Many players have played with great distinction over the years. Diana Edulji, widely regarded as one of the finest women cricketers, was awarded the Arjuna award in 1983 and the Padma Shri in 2002. Shubhangi Kulkarni, an all-rounder, played in 27 ODIs, and is now part of the International Cricket Council (ICC) Women's Committee.
In the year 2006, the Indian Women's Cricket Association merged with the BCCI. The same year, India also defeated England on their home turf and won the series 1-0. Their spirited performance was widely praised across the international circuit.
The team earned consecutive wins in 2014 against England and South Africa and was placed fifth in the 2016 ICC T20 Women's World Cup.
The current ICC world rankings put the Indian team at fourth position in the women's championship table.

In Bethlehem, in the footsteps of Christ
In the city of the Basilica of the Nativity, an event to celebrate the centenary of Fr. Giussani. Hiba's testimony, the presentation of Luigi Amicone's book, and the message of the Patriarch of Jerusalem.
12.23.2022 Alessandra Buzzetti
Bethlehem's Manger Square has a special charm at sunset in Advent. The lights of the large Christmas tree lit in early December reflect off the white stone of the Basilica. A few meters away, its doors are always open to the Peace Center of the Municipality, which hosts numerous Christmas initiatives. This year, among the many events planned, was a meeting to discover Fr. Luigi Giussani, on the occasion of the centenary of his birth. Images of his only trip to the Holy Land welcomed guests into the packed hall, to the song Nazareth morning. "Nazareth morning, Bethlehem star, a light for people near and far. Dawn grows to Day, Day comes to stay. The dark of sin won't dim the way."
Hiba Al-Saadi told us what this dawn of hope means, which is to be begged for every morning, especially by those who live on the bumpy road of permanent conflict. A 38-year-old mother of three, she is a social worker at Baby Caritas Hospital, a Catholic hospital in Bethlehem, the only pediatric hospital in the Palestinian Territories. Hiba recounted the story of a friendship, born amid the hospital wards, with a strange group of Italians. They were happy people, more interested in people than their charitable works. Twelve years later, they were there to listen to Hiba: Enrico, Tiziana and the many others involved in this special story of friendship.
"I want to thank my husband, Reed, and my family because they allowed me to spend time with these friends," Hiba said "Reed always encouraged me to attend their meetings because he could see that I would go home happy. He understood that it was something that nourished my soul, that made me live the most joyful moments with more intensity, as well as the most difficult ones. I slowly discovered that Fr. Giussani was at the origin of the joyfulness of those friends. A priest who did not live locked up in a church, but went out and knew how to touch the hearts of young people. Just as the Pope told us in the audience for Fr. Giussani's centenary." The Audience in St. Peter's Square on October 15 is precisely what awakened the desire of the small community in the Holy Land to propose this encounter that changed their lives to their city, inviting authorities, colleagues and friends to meet Fr. Giussani.
Greetings from the Governor of the Bethlehem area and the city's deputy mayor were followed by the reading of a message from the Patriarch of Jerusalem: "I knew Fr. Giussani indirectly, I have always been struck by his freedom, not to be taken for granted today, to make every human action and initiative descend directly from his relationship with Christ and to direct himself to Him," wrote Monsignor Pizzaballa. "For a believer it may be an established fact, and yet it is so rare to hear it: deciding to be for Christ necessarily leads one to bet on the person, to love them unconditionally, because the criterion and measure of such love are those of Christ Himself." In a context like the Holy Land, where social, health and educational works are the strength of the Christian presence, it is even more urgent not to lose awareness of Who is at their origin.
"The much-desired renewal of our activities must not start from the renewal of structures," the Patriarch concluded, "but from returning to Jesus' question to the disciples: Who do you say that I am? A question that Fr. Gius was able to answer so clearly and that continues to disturb and fascinate so many after him to this day."
Like Ettore Soranzo, who arrived in the Holy Land 25 years ago to serve first in a Catholic hospital in Nazareth, and then the Custody of the Holy Land in Jerusalem until 2018. In a group photo from the 1986 pilgrimage – recounted by Luigi Amicone in his book Sulle trace di Cristo [In the footsteps of Christ], which Ettore presented during the meeting - Fr. Giussani is seen kneeling at the feet of a Franciscan friar. "I think that nothing better expresses the passion this man had for serving the Church, a passion that I was able to experience in person, since I had the good fortune to be able to serve three great works of the Church precisely thanks to him," Ettore recounted. "He had so much love for Jesus, and therefore for his Church, that every time the Church asked for help, for collaboration, he tried to do everything to be able to say yes.
