Adoring Saints: Right Main Tier Panel
active 1399; died 1423 or 1424
San Benedetto Altarpiece
Egg tempera on wood
Presented by William Coningham, 1848
Art route(s)
A company of richly dressed saints, their gilded haloes stamped with elaborate patterns, gaze at something on their right, or turn to talk to each other. This painting is part of a large multi-panelled altarpiece made for the Camaldolite monastery of San Benedetto fuori della Porta Pinti in Florence and they are looking at an image of the coronation of the Virgin (also in the National Gallery's collection). Arranged in three tiers, they are carefully structured so that their gestures and colours balance and echo those in the facing panel, giving the whole altarpiece an almost musical harmony.
The saints here would have been well known to the monks of San Benedetto. At the very front is Saint Romuald, founder of the Camaldolese Order, wearing the white habit of the Camaldolites. Next to him, dressed in yellow and blue and holding a large key, is Saint Peter, the first pope and founder of the Catholic Church.
A company of richly dressed saints, many with impressive beards, gaze adoringly at something on their right, or turn to talk to each other. This panel was part of a large polyptych painted by Lorenzo Monaco for the monastery of San Benedetto fuori della Porta Pinti in Florence.
They are looking at The Coronation of the Virgin; you can see – on the far left – parts of the wings of angels who sit around the throne. Other parts of the altarpiece are in our collection and in collections around the world. Arranged in three tiers, the saints are carefully structured so that their gestures and colours balance and echo those in Adoring Saints: Left Main Tier Panel, giving the whole polyptych an almost musical harmony.
San Benedetto belonged to Camaldolese Order, a small reformed monastic order founded by an Italian monk, Saint Romuald, in 1012. Although they followed the Rule of Saint Benedict, Saint Romuald wanted them to live a stricter and more solitary life. They lived in individual cells, like hermits, although they came together to eat and pray.
The saints here were well known to the monks at San Benedetto. At the front, in the white habit of the Camaldolites, is Saint Romuald, the Order's founder. Next to him is Saint Peter, the first pope, dressed in yellow and blue and holding a large key – the key to heaven, given to him by Christ. Both Peter and Romuald appear on another altarpiece for the Order, made for the nuns at Pratovecchio.
At the very back, wearing the white and gold papal tiara, is Pope Gregory the Great, the sixth-century Benedictine who wrote the Life of Saint Benedict; the dove of the Holy Ghost is whispering in his ear to inspire him. Beside him is Saint Dominic, the pair to Saint Francis in the other wing, and founder of the Dominican Order.
In places the paint has worn thin and we can see traces of underdrawing in the yellow of Saint Peter's robe and the pink of John the Evangelist's next to him. Technical analysis has identified kermes, a pigment widely used in manuscript illumination, in Saint John's robe; Lorenzo Monaco also painted books.
A glorious, glowing, multi-coloured company of saints and angels surround Christ and his mother as he delicately places a golden crown on her head, making her Queen of Heaven. This huge polyptych (multi-panelled altarpiece) was painted for the high altar of the monastery of San Benedetto fuori della Porta Pinti in Florence. It was originally even bigger: its main panels are in the National Gallery, but other parts are scattered in collections across the world.
The Camaldolites (a religious order founded in 1012) were famous for their strict lifestyle, although they lived among great visual riches. The monastery's register records how it was commissioned by a Florentine citizen, Luca Pieri Rinieri Berri, who was to pay almost the entire cost. In recompense his name was painted on the altarpiece – a few letters can be made out on the grey step of dais – so that he would be remembered in the monks' prayers.
A glorious, glowing company of saints and angels surround Christ and his mother, watching as he delicately places a golden crown on her head. This is heaven seen through fifteenth-century eyes. Crowns and haloes shimmer with burnished gold; angels with multi-coloured wings swing censers and make music; ranks of saints in gorgeous colours gesture gracefully to each other or gaze adoringly at the culminating drama of the life of the Virgin – her coronation as Queen of Heaven.
This huge polyptych was painted for the high altar of the monastery of San Benedetto fuori della Porta Pinti in Florence between 1407 and 1409. It was originally even bigger and more complex: its main panels and parts of the predella are in the National Gallery, but other parts are scattered in collections around the world.
The panels which make up the main tier – The Coronation of the Virgin, Adoring Saints: Left Main Tier Panel and Adoring Saints: Right Main Tier Panel – were originally constructed and painted as a single panel. We don't know exactly when it was split into three, although the altarpiece was probably taken apart when San Benedetto was destroyed in the run up to the siege of Florence in 1529. At some point, two vertical bands about seven centimetres wide were lost between the side and main panels. These missing sections have been reconstructed in the structural elements of the modern frame.
In the predella were scenes from the life of Saint Benedict, patron saint of the monastery: we see him admitting Saints Maurus and Placidus into the Benedictine Order and telling Maurus to save Placidus from drowning. A panel showing Benedict's death is now on indefinite loan to the National Gallery, and other panels are in the Pinacoteca Vaticana, Rome and the National Museum, Poznań. The pinnacles at the top showed the Annunciation flanking Christ the Redeemer. There were Old Testament prophets in the pilasters at the sides, and a tier showing Abraham, Noah, Moses and David (Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York) between the predella and the main panels.
San Benedetto belonged to the Camaldolites, a reformed branch of the Benedictine Order, famous for their strict lifestyle although they lived among great visual riches. The artist, Lorenzo Monaco, was himself a Camaldolite monk, and this painting is a kind of dress rehearsal for his most important surviving work, the great altarpiece for Santa Maria degli Angeli in Florence. Even this smaller and simpler version measures almost 265 by 360 cm.
Unusually, we know quite a lot about why and when this altarpiece was made. The monastery's register records how it was commissioned in 1407 by a Florentine citizen, Luca Pieri Rinieri Berri, who was to pay almost the entire cost. In recompense his name was to be included on the altarpiece – a few letters of an inscription can be made out on the grey step of dais – so that he would be remembered in the monks' prayers. The altarpiece was never to be removed from the high altar, on penalty of a fine of 200 gold florins. It was in place by 1409 when the monks moved choir stalls from a side chapel into the main church.

Knonau ist eine politische Gemeinde im Bezirk Affoltern des Kantons Zürich in der Schweiz. Lange Zeit namengebend für den Bezirk Affoltern: Knonauer Amt (veraltet: Zürcher Freiamt, pop. "Söiliamt"). Mundartname für Knonau: Chnoonau.

Geographie

Knonau liegt im Südwesten des Kanton Zürich und ist mit 6,48 km² vor Wettswil am Albis, Maschwanden und Ottenbach die flächenmässig viertkleinste Gemeinde im Bezirk Affoltern. Der grösste Anteil des Gemeindegebiets wird von Landwirtschaftsflächen eingenommen, die 64,8 Prozent umfassen. Weitere 17,6 Prozent sind Wald, 10,2 Prozent Siedlungsfläche und 5,6 Prozent Verkehrsfläche. Das Gemeindegebiet wird durch den Haselbach zur Lorze hin entwässert.

Das Dorf Knonau liegt auf  und ist 23 Kilometer Luftdistanz von Zürich und 7 Kilometer Luftdistanz von Zug gelegen. Zur Gemeinde gehören auch die Weiler Vorderuttenberg, Hinteruttenberg und Baaregg.

Im Westen grenzt Knonau an Maschwanden, im Norden und Osten liegt die Gemeinde Mettmenstetten und ebenfalls im Osten die höher gelegene Gemeinde Kappel am Albis. Im Süden grenzt Knonau an die Gemeinden Steinhausen und Cham, die beide dem Kanton Zug angehören.

Knonau liegt an der Bahnlinie Zürich–Affoltern am Albis–Zug und wird durch die Linie  der S-Bahn Zürich bedient. Seit Dezember 2015 bedient anstelle der  neu die  Knonau. Das Teilstück der Autobahn A4 mit dem Rastplatz Eitenberg wurde auf Gemeindegebiet bereits 1970 gebaut, jedoch erst im November 2009 eröffnet.

Geschichte

Erstmals schriftlich erwähnt wurde Knonau 1045 in einer Urkunde des Klosters Schänis, in der die Kirche Knonau und der dazugehörende Meierhof als Besitztum des Klosters genannt werden. Als Verwalter dieses Hofes amteten die Meyer von Knonau. Sie liessen sich in der Mitte des 14. Jahrhunderts in Zürich nieder, wo sie sich einbürgern liessen. Schon bald waren sie im Rat der Stadt vertreten und stellten gar den Bürgermeister. Dank ihrer Beziehungen konnten sie 1399 die Vogtei über das Dorf Knonau und weitere Dörfer erwerben.

1512 kaufte die Stadt Zürich die Vogtei Knonau samt einigen weiteren Rechten der Umgebung. Fortan residierte ein Landvogt auf dem Schloss Knonau, das die Stadt als Verwaltungssitz bauen liess.

Als 1830/31 im Kanton Zürich eine liberale Verfassung erlassen wurde, erhielten die Landgemeinden Gleichberechtigung mit der Stadt. Knonau wurde aus Tradition Hauptort des neu gegründeten Bezirks. Wegen der peripheren Lage wurde der Bezirkshauptort schon bald nach Affoltern am Albis verlegt.

Wappen
Blasonierung
 In Rot ein silberner Meierhut mit Kordel.
Das Wappen stimmt mit dem Schild überein, den die Meyer von Knonau mindestens seit 1375 führen. Es zeigt den Meyerhut, das Abzeichen ihres Amtes, das in der Verwaltung des dem Kloster Schänis gehörenden Hofes zu Knonau bestand.

Q: EditText: Differentiate between text change by setText() or by keyboard input I have an EditText View which is edited by setText() from my code and by the user via (soft/hard) keyboard and - if possible by speech input. I want to handle input made by my code in another way than normal user input: if a user input happens, a internal event shall be fired. But I don't know how to differentiate between both. Previously - when developing on the emulator - I used the onKeyDown() method to catch user input. However, when testing on a real device, I found out, that onKeyDown() isn't triggered from soft keyboard input. Additionally speech input wouldn't be recognized by this, though I consider this to be a minor flaw. So that solution is no option for me.
On the other hand there is the onTextChanged() method, but this is triggered by both setText() and keyboard input. So how can I differentiate between both or which method is only called by user input, but not when using setText(), so can I overwrite it?

A: I finally solved the problem by implementing a InputConnectionWrapper (see this question and particularly the answer for an implementation example) which has various methods to get the input from a soft-keyboard. I return my InputConnectionWrapper in the method EditText.onCreateInputConnection(). For hard keyboards I use EditText.onPreIme(). All these methods are overwritten and route their input through my framework which handles the text input and updates the View accordingly. This means, in all these overwritten methods (except for onCreateInputConnection()) the super method is not called cause I update the View myself. This prevents inconsistencies between my data model and the View.

A: I believe android do not let you to distinguash between programmatically and manually entered text. The only workaround fo you as to use some sla that will indicate when test was set by your code, because you are always know when you call setText().

A: There are already a lot of good workarounds here! I wanted to add what worked for me to give options to whoever might be having this issue in the future.
I used the TextWatcher and simply relied on checking for what element currently has focus when the EditText is being edited. Note that this would work if in your app, the user has to give focus to the EditText (by clicking on it for instance) before entering a text, and you're sure that another element will have the focus when you're using setText in your code.
Something like this
yourEditText.addTextChangedListener(
            new TextWatcher() {
                @Override
                public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {

                }

                @Override
                public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
                    if (yourEditText.hasFocus) {
                        //this is a user input
                    }
                }

                @Override
                public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {

                }
            }
    );

A: You can use a flag to differentiate.
((EditText) rootView.findViewById(R.id.editText1)).addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
        public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i2, int i3) {
        }

        public void onTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i2, int i3) {
        }

        public void afterTextChanged(Editable editable) {
            update(true);
        }
    });

private boolean updating = false;

private void update(boolean multiply) {
    if(updating){
        return;
    }
    updating = true;
    EditText editText1 = (EditText) getView().findViewById(R.id.editText1);
    editText1.setText("XXX");
    updating = false;
}

A: I was having this issue when rotating the device. My editText is inside a dialog. Here's how I solved it:
editText.addTextChangedListener(
    new TextWatcher() {

        @Override
        public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
            String newValue = s.toString();

           String oldValue = (String) editText.getTag();

            if (newValue.length() > 0) {
                editText.setTag(newValue);
            }

            boolean itReallyChanged = oldValue != null && !newValue.equals(oldValue) && !newValue.isEmpty();
            if (itReallyChanged) {
                // Pretty sure the user genuinely changed this value,
                // not the device rotation
            }
        }
    }
);

The chocolate vine is an unusual climber, that can suffer damage from late frosts. The maroon-chocolate flowers look almost artificial, with waxy 'petals' forming an inverted cup shape. These are clustered along the stems and have an exotic spicy fragrance with a hint of vanilla. They stand out against a background of light purple, three-lobed leaves, most colourful in full sun. In mild conditions the leaves last all winter but in cold areas expect them to be shed. After a particularly warm summer, large sausage-shaped fruit dangle from the stems.

Chaplains "re-route" hospital patients to the hope
Ruth McCabe says her darkest days would have been even darker were it not for a woman named Noelene Kidd.
Noelene, a Carinity chaplain, was by Ruth's bedside when she spent two months in hospital fighting a rare form of cancer.
"I wasn't supposed to live through the cancer, so the doctors were trying to keep me hopeful but being realistic at the same time. Because it was such a rare form of cancer there's no support group for it and those who get it generally don't live too long," Ruth says.
"My four children and my parents were stressed, my husband was stressed, everybody was stressed. Noelene was the calm in the storm. She was great to talk to.
"You get so sick of people prodding you and poking you and doing medical types of things and with the psychologist the same thing happens, they're evaluating your answers. It was nice to have someone just to sit and talk with someone who 'gets it'.
"My time in hospital was pretty dark but I think it could have been much darker without Noelene being there. There were days when I was, 'If I'm going to die anyway, let's get it over and done with', but she kept re-routing me to the hope."
Jennifer is a strong believer in the old saying "a problem shared is a problem halved."
After suffering from general health problems for many years, Jennifer was hospitalised last year after suffering multiple fractures in her spine from slipping over in her home.
Bedridden in hospital for several months, Jennifer struggled with depression and anxiety both before and during her recovery.
Compounding her insecurities and vulnerability, Jennifer had no family to support her during the toughest time of her life. That was until a Carinity chaplain struck up a conversation.
"She was visiting people in the ward and one day she came to chat to me. It was nice because I don't have family, my family have passed away," Jennifer says.
"When you're in the hospital and you see everyone else with their families coming in to visit, and you don't have that, it's hard. It was nice to have someone to talk to, someone who was kind and caring. It makes you feel not so alone.
"Being lonely and feeling isolated it made me anxious. I had depression and having that sounding board was a great help. I really appreciated her visits and her mental support meant a lot."
Carinity has around 60 chaplains serving multi-denominationally in hospitals, correctional centres and aged-care communities from Cairns to the Gold Coast. We seek extra chaplains to meet an increasing demand to support and assist more Queenslanders facing challenges.
Donations to last year's Chaplains Appeal enabled Carinity to train more chaplains through our new Certificate IV in Chaplaincy and Pastoral Care.
Recent course graduate Hadley Toweel, a former Christian worker in a ghetto area in South Africa, is now a Carinity prison chaplain.
"Chaplaincy is something that God has called me to. It's the knowledge that I have done things in my past that could have landed me in prison and being fully convinced that God can and does change lives," Hadley says.
Ruth encourages people to support the hospital chaplains who bring comfort to patients, by offering a listening ear or spiritual guidance, through the 2018 Carinity Chaplains Appeal.
"One day I was running my kids to and from school and sports and the next thing I'm bedridden for weeks on end. You don't know when you're going to need that support, and it could be the difference in someone's life," she says.
Help make a real difference to the lives of people in need by supporting the 2018 Chaplains Appeal, to enable Carinity to train more chaplains throughout Queensland. Your gift can be made online , via mail at Reply Paid 85096, Mitchelton QLD 4053, or by phoning 07 3550 3737.

Q: Same Div called Error in Jquery I'm new to JQuery. I have a
<div id='field1'>  </div>

I'm referring to it twice in my code. But at each time it refers to the same 1st reference.
E.g. I'm changing the DIV content initially with the value
$("#field1").change(function (){alert('hi')});

After some piece of code inside one another click function I'm having
$("#field1").change(function(){alert('again')});

When I want to make use of the second change function with some other content, the first change function is called. How can I stop the first change being called and only the second one to be called?
But this second one refers to the first one.
How can i rectify this? I've even used $(this) in my second change.
Same Ajax called twice..JQuery

A: What you are attempting to do is not clear from the way you asked the question. From what you put in code I would guess that you are trying to modify the onChange event of the div. So to start with you have:
$("#field1").change(function (){alert('hi')});

And when #field1 changes you want to fire a function that calls alert('hi')
Later you have button that runs:
$("#field1").change(function(){alert('again')});

And you want changes to #field1 to fire a function that calls alert('again')
But what you are getting when the change is happening is an alert box with 'hi' in it.
What is happening is that both alert('hi') and alert('again') are getting bound to the change event. If you want you to replace the change event, you need to first use the unbind( type, fn ) function.
If you want them both to fire, you need to 'return false;' from your change functions.

A: If you mean you have two DIVs with the same ID, that's actually invalid HTML. IDs should be unique per-document.

A: the # selector selects an element with the ID #first1 in the html document which would be the first div since ID's are supposed to be unique.
you could use a class and the . selector to select both div's or alternatively give the second div a different name
Information about selectors in jQuery

A: You miss a dot:
 $("#field1").change(function (){
    alert('hi');
 });

And you can't use the same name twice.

A: I think jQuery when using ID's, only ever returns one element.
If you must use the same selector name (which as Rytmis correctly stated, using multiple ID's with the same name is invalid HTML), then changing to a class selector would be best.
You can then use the :eq() functionality in jQuery
To target your first div you could use:
jQuery('.field:eq(0)')

and then to target your second div use:
jQuery('.field:eq(1)')

Remember they come back as an array so 0 = first, 1 = second, etc...

The Object of My Affection ist ein Popsong, den Pinky Tomlin (Musik), Coy Poe (Text) und Jimmie Grier verfassten und 1934 veröffentlichten. Der Song war 1934 und im Folgejahr an der Spitze der amerikanischen Hitparade.

The Object of My Affection "ist ein forsch-fröhliches Lied der totalen Hingabe; der Freier ist bereit zu warten, derweil seine Geliebte machen darf, was sie will, solange sie sagt, dass sie ihm gehört."

Der Song machte 1934 den Sänger und Songwriter Truman "Pinky" Tomlin (1907–1987) landesweit bekannt. Jimmie Grier and His Orchestra (Brunswick 7308, Gesang Pinky Tomlin) hatte mit The Object of My Affection  einen Nummer-eins-Hit in den Vereinigten Staaten; 1935 gelang dies auch den Boswell Sisters (mit Jimmie Grier and his Orchestra) mit ihrer Version des Songs (Brunswick 7348). Weitere erfolgreiche Coverversionen legten Jan Garber and His Orchestra (1934, #7) und Glen Gray and the Casa Loma Orchestra im Dezember 1934 (#10) vor. Auch Benny Goodman and His Orchestra (Gesang Buddy Clark), Chick Bullock, Bert Ambrose, Garnet Clark and His Hot Clubs Four (u. a. mit Bill Coleman und Django Reinhardt)  sowie der Western-Swing-Sänger Milton Brown coverten 1934/35 den Song. Der Diskograf Tom Lord listet im Bereich des Jazz 41 Coverversionen, aus späteren Jahren auch von Lionel Hampton, Fred Böhler, Thore Jederby, Johnny Mercer/Paul Weston, Dick Haymes, Barry Martyn, Kid Thomas Valentine, Ella Fitzgerald, Ralph Sutton, Lars Erstrand und Sammy Rimington.

Angela Merkel hails 'encouraging' signs for Brexit trade talks
Prime Minister Theresa May delivers her keynote speech at the Conservative Party Conference at the Manchester Central Convention Complex in Manchester. PRESS ASSOCIATION Photo. Picture date: Wednesday October 4, 2017. See PA story TORY Main. Photo credit should read: Joe Giddens/PA Wire
German Chancellor Angela Merkel gave Theresa May a Brexit boost as EU leaders gathered for a summit in Brussels, saying there were "encouraging" signs that talks on the future UK/EU trade relationship could begin as early as December.
Britain had already given up hope of receiving a green light for trade talks at the two-day European Council, after chief EU negotiator Michel Barnier said last week that insufficient progress had been made in divorce talks to move on to the second phase, dealing with trade.
The Prime Minister made clear she was no longer expecting a breakthrough this week, characterising the summit as an opportunity to "take stock" of progress so far.
But she said she would be setting out "ambitious plans" for further negotiations in the weeks ahead, and said she wanted to inject a new "urgency" into discussions on the post-Brexit rights of EU citizens living in the UK and Britons on the continent.
Mrs Merkel held out the prospect the leaders of the remaining 27 EU states may be ready to kick off trade talks at their next scheduled summit, telling reporters that enough progress had been made to encourage her to think it will be possible to "take the work forward and then reach the start of the second phase in December".
European Council president Donald Tusk has indicated the EU27 may agree on Friday to begin internal scoping discussions on their position on a possible trade deal, which would allow formal negotiations with the UK to begin around Christmas if further progress is made on the divorce issues of citizens' rights, the Irish border and Britain's financial settlement.
But he warned on Wednesday that a move to formal trade negotiations in December would require "more concrete proposals from the British side", in comments reflecting pressure from Brussels for further UK concessions on a so-called "divorce bill" which could reach 60 billion euros (£53 billion).
Mrs May was also expected to urge the other 27 leaders, when she addresses them over dinner on Thursday, to prepare for talks on an "implementation period" of around two years after the official Brexit date in March 2019 to give businesses and governments time to transition to the new relationship.
Arriving in Brussels at the start of the two-day summit, Mrs May said: "This Council is about taking stock. It is also about looking ahead to how we can tackle the challenges that we all share across Europe.
"That means of course continued co-operation, co-operation which must be at the heart of the strong future partnership that we want to build together.
"Of course we will also be looking at the concrete progress that has been made in our exit negotiations and setting out ambitious plans for the weeks ahead.
"I particularly want to see an urgency in reaching an agreement on citizens' rights."
Before travelling to the Belgian capital, Mrs May issued a message to the estimated three million EU citizens in the UK, telling them that she wants them to be able to stay after Brexit and that a deal on their rights is "in touching distance".
In an open letter posted on her Facebook page and mailed to 100,000 EU nationals, Mrs May repeated her message that "EU citizens living lawfully in the UK today will be able to stay" after Brexit.
She set out measures to make it easier for EU expats to take on the new "settled status" which will allow them to remain, including the creation of a new User Group allowing them to have a direct input into the design of a "streamlined" digital registration process.
Arriving at the Brussels summit, French President Emmanuel Macron said there had been attempts to create divisions within the EU, but that the 27 would show "very strong unity in the discussions on Brexit", with shared goals and support for Mr Barnier as the EU's sole chief negotiator.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was also in Brussels to meet Mr Barnier and three EU national leaders.
He accused Mrs May of presiding over "chaos" in the Brexit talks and said Labour "stands ready to take up responsibility for negotiations".
Before formal talks got under way in Brussels, Mrs May was seen deep in conversation with Mrs Merkel and Mr Macron.
Other EU leaders indicated that they were hopeful for a breakthrough at the December 14-15 summit.
Finnish Prime Minister Juha Sipila said: "I hope we can decide the next phase in December's meeting, but today we are not in that position."
Mr Sipila said he was "not yet" preparing for the possibility of Britain leaving the EU without a deal.
Hardline Brexiteers tried to step up pressure on Mrs May for a no-deal Brexit, with an open letter signed by four Tory former cabinet ministers including ex-chancellor Lord Lawson urging her to walk away from talks.
Former cabinet minister Owen Paterson said Britain should not be "terrified" of leaving with no deal and trading on World Trade Organisation terms.
But Brexit Secretary David Davis distanced himself from the idea, describing it as no more than "a very distant possibility".
Irish Taoiseach Leo Varadkar distanced himself from remarks by Ireland's EU Commissioner Phil Hogan who said the negotiations on the UK's split from Europe are on a cliff edge to a hard Brexit.
"I think we have a way to go yet," he said.
"Brexit does not happen until April 2019. We are quite far back from the cliff edge at this stage.
"But it's incumbent on the EU prime ministers and presidents to ensure that we don't sleepwalk towards that cliff and that substantially more progress is made in the next couple of months.
"We are well away from the cliff."
Mr Varadkar also said progress has been made on the Irish border, "just not enough".
The Taoiseach said Mr Barnier's assessment of the talks should focus minds in the run up to December and amid mounting pressure for movement on the trade issue.
Mr Varadkar also called for a lot more detail from the UK on how the Irish border will remain open after April 2019.
"Language isn't enough," he said.
"If the UK is leaving the European Union it is on them to put forward detailed proposals to ensure that things remain much the same. That is at the core of the conflict with the position that the UK is taking."
Mr Varadkar was also optimistic of enough common ground being reached in the Brexit talks by December.
Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte said Mrs May failed to provide the clarity European leaders want on Britain's financial settlement in her speech in Florence last month, when she said the UK would honour commitments made as an EU member.
He said: "I think that Theresa May has to come up with more clarity on what she meant with 'honour commitments' in her Florence speech.
"I phoned her last week to encourage her to do that and so far she hasn't."
He acknowledged that money was the main stumbling block, saying: "On citizens' rights and border controls, these are still difficult issues but particularly the question of the exit bill will be the main one."
European Parliament president Antonio Tajani addressed the EU leaders as the summit began.
He later told reporters that he had said the Parliament "appreciated" Mrs May's Florence speech but added "we are still awaiting implementation of what was said in that speech".
Mr Tajani said: "Progress so far has not been satisfactory. We heard the tone of the speech by Mrs May, but I am still waiting to see the tone of that speech - the more flexible approach - transformed into practical deeds."
He said that, even after Mrs May's letter to expats, it was "not yet clear exactly what the UK wants to do" with respect to citizens' rights.
He warned: "The top priority for the European Parliament remains the protection of those people, including the protection of British nationals living in Europe. If we can't get agreement on that point, the European Parliament will vote against any possible agreement."
Mr Rutte gave more details of his phonecall with Ms May asking her to explain what she meant in her speech in Florence about the Brexit divorce bill.
"I said, Theresa, please, make clear what you mean with that, at least when and how you will propose to tackle this debate," the Dutch PM told the BBC.
"And, if you do that, we might have some more forward-leaning language."
Mr Rutte said answering the plea would encourage more support among the EU-27 for the Brexit talks to move on to trade.
He said they were already leaning that way.
"I mean that already is helpful language, I think, for the UK.
"But, she might get more, if, we would get more on the exit bill," Mr Rutte said.

Winter Weather Results in Tragic Maryland Car Accident
February 3, 2021 | Lebowitz & Mzhen
As February came, so too did a big winter storm, hitting the East Coast hard. Maryland was covered in snow, which, while pretty, can cause major complications on the roads and highways. Winter weather is a major contributing factor to Maryland car accidents and driving during or after a winter storm can be dangerous. Even smaller instances of winter weather than the one recently experienced can be cause for concern—freezing rain, for example, can cause roads to ice over, making them slippery and making it more difficult for drivers to control their vehicles or stop.
For example, take a recent tragic Maryland car accident. According to a local news report, a fatal accident occurred in Jessup one Tuesday morning, on I-95 just before Maryland Route 32. Early that morning, three cars were involved in a minor crash, causing them to pull off of the road. Shortly after, the registered owner of one of the vehicles, a 36-year-old man, arrived at the scene to assess the damage. At this time, according to Maryland State Police, a driver of a silver Honda Civic traveling north on I-95 lost control of his car and then hit a Honda Accord. The impact of the crash pushed the Honda Accord into the owner assessing his vehicle, and fatally pinned him in between two vehicles. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Others were injured in this series of accidents as well—one man was taken to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma center, and three other individuals were taken to Howard County General Hospital with injuries.
Local authorities believe that both crashes were caused by weather conditions, specifically, a storm on Monday evening that caused ice and slick spots on the roads Tuesday morning. In fact, Maryland State Policy said that between Monday at 5 PM to Tuesday at 5 AM, their officers responded to 63 crashes and 28 disabled/unattended vehicles and answered 424 calls for service. This highlights how important it is for Maryland drivers to remain vigilant and on high alert when driving during winter weather, or to avoid driving if they can.
Can Accident Victims in a No-Fault Weather-Related Accident?
Drivers who have never been in accidents before may find that the wintry weather and slick conditions make it more difficult to control their vehicle, potentially leading to crashes. And unfortunately, nothing can undo the injuries or deaths sustained as a result of these accidents. However, accident victims may be able to file a claim with their own insurance company following a single-vehicle or no-fault accident. That said, there is no guarantee that the insurance company will approve the claim or pay fair damages. An attorney can assist in preparing these claims on behalf of injured accident victims.
Have You or a Loved One Been Injured in a Maryland Car Accident?
The rates of Maryland car accidents may increase as the state experiences wintry weather, from snow to sleet and freezing rain. If you or a loved one is injured in one of these accidents, you may be entitled to financial compensation. Contact the personal injury attorneys at Lebowitz & Mzhen, LLC, as soon as possible to discuss the accident and your legal rights and options. Our attorneys have years of experience working with accident victims and their and families after these tragic crashes, and can handle your case with skill and compassion.

We all know that there are some relationships that the moment they are done, we have practically healed and are ready to move on. However, there are also other relationships that seem to take forever to recover from.
Love is a tricky occurrence. It is difficult to understand what we, or the other person involved, want. Often times, it leads to there being a gap in the relationship. The next step is obviously to let go and move on. But, therein too, lies a problem. We just cannot let them go even though we understand that they are not who we want to spend the rest of our life with.
For Gemini, getting over his ex-girlfriend after a breakup can take a long, long time. He may desperately want to move on, but for some reasons, he just cannot bring himself to do it. As a result, he constantly thinks about his ex-girlfriend and probably checks their Twitter and Instagram just so he knows a little bit about what is going on in their life.
You may also want to read Ways to Make Him Commit and Want Only You Forever.
So, why Gemini cannot move on from his ex-girlfriend exactly?
One thing he cannot do after a break-up is being alone. Not only will he tweet his ex-girlfriend, but his millions of followers will also share the rant until his past relationship is just a meme.
He is laughing when he wants to cry. He might call his ex-girlfriend at 3:00 AM crying but will be laughing by morning. When he realizes that his relationship was illogical, he starts acting illogically.
Gemini is the one zodiac sign who never undergoes a pattern in his break-ups. It makes sense, seeing as he despises repetition and routine, and it is also why it can take him anywhere from two weeks to a month to get over an ex-girlfriend.
Sometimes, he is quick to move on and dates someone new, other times he can forget the person, but he is still not ready to put himself out there again. There really is no telling with a Gemini, but he is actually a pro at getting over people.
Given that he is a Gemini, he is always compelled to adopt who he is depending on who he is with. He always feels like he has to adjust himself to other people and to certain circumstances.
And he really cannot move on from his ex-girlfriend because they were the ones who could make him feel like he can be comfortable with just being himself whenever they were together. You may also read: What Is The Most Compatible Sign for Gemini Man?
He does not let go of past relationship easily because he does not want to lose anyone; even if they were terrifying to him.
He always wants to keep people in his life and makes sure he is on good terms so when someone leaves his life unexpectedly, it makes him deeply sad and he tries to pull them back into his life because he does not want to completely lose them.
As a result, they will always try and keep in touch with everyone they know. They might also turn to be the most irritating ex-boyfriends, for they will try their best to get the love of their life back.
He should, therefore, use his strong socializing skills and become even more active in his social life. Who knows, maybe he will meet his true soulmate at a party, causing him to forget about his ex-girlfriend.

The players take the part of robotic probes sent back from the Mars colonies to determine what has happened on Earth.
One participant acts as Game Master (GM) who presents the events of the mission to Earth and adjudicates the results of actions. The others (henceforth, simply players) each take the twin roles of one of the semi-disposable space probes sent to Earth and the team of investigators and engineers in Mars Mission Control, under the visionary guidance of Director Keeton, trying to keep the probe running and learn as much as they can, before the broken Earth's dangers beat it to scrap.


A new study from the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research suggests that requiring insurers to pay for adult vaccinations performed at pharmacies could help keep communicable diseases such as influenza and human papillomavirus in check.
A new study from the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research suggests that requiring insurers to pay for adult vaccinations performed at pharmacies could help keep communicable diseases such as influenza and human papillomavirus in check. The researchers note that the overall vaccination rate for adults in the state lags behind federal recommendations. Barriers to getting immunized include unaffordable upfront costs, spotty and confusing insurance coverage, lack of access to a physician, lack of awareness, and personal reasons. "Including pharmacy-administered vaccines as a covered benefit will help many adult patients who have financial constraints, transportation issues or are unable to take time off work during a doctor's office hours," says lead author Ozlem Equils. "It's a step toward making adult immunizations more accessible for more Californians." The researchers suggest that state lawmakers mandate that the Department of Managed Health Care and the Department of Insurance expand the insurance pharmacy benefit to include adult vaccinations under all public and commercial plans.

Involvement of nucleic acid synthesis in cell killing mechanisms of topoisomerase poisons
Peter D'Arpa, Christopher Beardmore, Leroy-Fong Liu
The primary cytotoxic mechanism of camptothecin has been proposed to involve an interaction between the replication machinery and the camptothecin-mediated topoisomerase I-DNA cleavable complex (Y. H. Hsiang, M. G. Lihou, and L. F. Liu, Cancer Res., 49: 5077-5082, 1989). In the present study, we show that killing of V79 cells by the topoisomerase II poisons 4′-(9-acridinylamino)methanesulfon-m-anisidide (m-AMSA) and etoposide may involve ongoing RNA synthesis in addition to ongoing DNA synthesis. V79 cells synchronized by mitotic shake-off were treated with topoisomerase poisons in the presence of inhibitors of nucleic acid synthesis. S-Phase V79 cells were more sensitive to the topoisomerase I poison camptothecin and the topoisomerase II poison m-AMSA than G1-phase cells. The greater sensitivity of S-phase cells to killing by m-AMSA and camptothecin was abolished during cotreatment, but not posttreatment, with aphidicolin, suggesting that ongoing DNA synthesis is involved in cell killing by both topoisomerase I and II poisons. Cotreatment with transcription inhibitors, such as 5,6-dichloro-1-β-D-ribofuranosyl benzimidazole or cordycepin, partially protected cells from the cytotoxic effects of m-AMSA but had no effect on camptothecin-mediated cytotoxicity. These results suggest that ongoing RNA transcription may be involved in cell killing by topoisomerase II poisons but not topoisomerase I poisons. Cotreatment with camptothecin reduced m-AMSA-mediated cytotoxicity in G1-phase V79 cells, suggesting a possible antagonism between topoisomerase I and II poisons. This antagonistic effect between topoisomerase I and II poisons could be explained by the strong inhibitory effect of camptothecin on RNA transcription.

SIMA'S STORY (PART 1)
Sima met her abuser on Match.com. He was charming and kind they took their time and hit it off. They went on dates and in January started dating. Eventually an unusual habit started to form. Every three weeks he would break up with her. No warning or true rhyme or reason. This was a repeated cycle. After expressing that the next time this happened, it was truly over and done, he did it again while she was out of town with her family. When she came back, she moved her things out of his place and took a pregnancy test.
After finding out she was unexpectedly pregnant, she had to tell him. He was not supportive and then proceeded to attempt suicide by overdosing on pills. She contacted his mom and drove to his house to take him to the hospital.
After that incident he continued his pursuit of a relationship with Sima. She still loved him and she was expecting his child so they got back together and eventually got married. It felt right.
As time went on things change, as they do and he was an alcoholic. As enthusiastic college football fans, her loving Iowa State and him loving Iowa, sometimes things would get intense. One game, Iowa State won and he was angry and aggressive towards her. She was not gloating or in his face about his loss and he began screaming and cursing at her and says "I'm okay if that thing inside your belly dies and Iowa wins all their games"
Things progressed and got worse and worse. In February, Sima had her son, Nile. Sima stayed home with the baby and the abuser was not cut out to be a father. He mentally and emotionally was not there for Sima and her child. The few times she did have to leave the baby with him for work trips, she was anxious because he was very neglectful. Because the abuser didn't want the child to begin with, he didn't want to take care of him, so he would say things to him and call him names.
Emotional and verbal abuse continued. He manipulated her and made her think and feel like everything was her fault. She was constantly apologizing for things that were not her doing. He even manipulated her into giving up her independence, like her bank accounts and credit cards and that's when the financial abuse came. She was listed secondary on their account and did not have any access to the full details of their financial situation.
Sima then proceeded to get really sick. The stress and abuse led her to go from a size 6 to a size zero. Her confidence was gone as well as her independence.
The fall of 2014 they were tailgating for Iowa in Iowa City. He drank too much and started calling her names and she snapped. In front of his family and their friends, she screamed at him and instead of firing back, he didn't react. After he went to the game, she said she was going to leave. She would pack up her son and take the car and go back to Des Moines.
Her Mother-in-Law told her if she left, she would call the police on her for a stolen vehicle, essentially trapping Sima in this situation. She stayed and he came back and didn't say a word to her.
They left and he drove 90 mph to 100 mph back to Des Moines. It was a 60 minute drive when it's usually two hours.
Mind you their child is in the back seat and the abuser is drunk.

Untreated or inappropriately treated preeclampsia can result in damage to both an unborn baby and the mother. Although some of the criteria for the diagnosis of preeclampsia are changing, the general thought is that the diagnosis of preeclampsia can generally be made in a previously normotensive woman with new onset hypertension and either proteinuria or end-organ dysfunction after 20 weeks. Hypertension was defined as a blood pressure reading greater than or equal to 140/90, taken serially (generally 4 hours apart). Proteinuria is diagnosed by both a dipstick into a urine sample, and then confirmed with a 24 hour urine test (urine measured and collected over 24 hour period and tested for protein). End organ dysfunction refers to issues like low platelet count, renal dysfunction, or increased serum creatinine.
Treatment for preeclampsia during pregnancy depends on the severity of the hypertension and the presence of other symptoms such as headaches or visual disturbances. In general, hypertensive medications are not prescribed for blood pressures consistently less than 150/100, unless there are signs of cardiac decompensation or cerebral symptoms (severe headache, visual disturbances, chest discomfort, shortness of breath, or confusion). For women with chronic non-severe hypertension with comorbid conditions, antihypertensive drug therapy should be used to keep systolic blood pressure <140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure <90 mmHg. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends using labetolol, nifedipine, or methyldopa as first line therapy.
Preeclampsia is defined as severe when hypertension is greater than or equal to 160/110 with end organ failure (thrombocytopenia, impaired liver function, progressive renal insufficiency, pulmonary edema, new onset cerebral or visual disturbances). Severe hypertension should be treated to protect the mother from serious complications such as stroke, heart failure, or renal failure. Health care providers should ask patients about persistent and/or severe headaches; visual abnormalities (scotomata, photophobia, blurred vision, or temporary blindness); upper abdominal or epigastric (just under rib cage and generally more to the right hand side) pain; nausea, vomiting; dyspnea; and altered mental status. Patients should undergo platelet counts, serum creatinine, AST, ALT, obstetrical ultrasounds and non-stress testing. Treatment for severe preeclampsia is the same as for preeclampsia, but ACOG recommends using the short acting preparation of oral nifedipine under these circumstances as well as hydralazine. The goal blood pressure in this context is to achieve a systolic pressure of 140-150 mmHg and a diastolic pressure of 90-100 mmHg. Magnesium sulfate is also used in a hospital setting intravenously for severe preeclampsia to control high blood pressure and as seizure prophylaxis due to eclampsia, or to control seizures due to eclampsia.
The only way to completely cure preeclampsia is to deliver the pregnancy. The decision to deliver is made on a case by case basis and depends on the severity of the preeclampsia and severity of complications. ACOG recommends delivery at 37-39 weeks for women with hypertension controlled by medications; and 36-37 weeks for women with severe hypertension that is difficult to control. Post-partum hypertension related to preeclampsia usually resolves within a few weeks; it can take 6 months. If blood pressures are borderline at delivery, blood pressures should be monitored closely, sometimes with home blood pressure monitoring equipment. Women should be instructed to seek medical attention if they develop severe headaches or if blood pressure increases to severe levels. The medications to manage post-partum hypertension are the same as for during pregnancy, plus other traditional blood pressure medications may be available depending on whether the patient is breastfeeding.

Nintendo Punchbuoy (パンチブイ, 1975)
Most of Nintendo's toys and games from the 1960s to 1980s were for use in-house. But there were some exceptions, like the vintage outdoor game we will take a look at today.
Nintendo Punchbuoy (1975)
It is called the Nintendo Punchbuoy (パンチブイ) and dates from 1975.
Punchbuoy is a mixture of an exercise device and an active play toy. It was was sold with the slogan "Increase your stamina through fun play" (「楽しく遊んで体力アップ」).
You may recognize it, as many clones were available into the 1980s and 1990s. They seem to have disappeared from shop shelves since then.
People who grew up in the 1970s will surely remember it, as it was very popular around the world at that time.
Punchbuoy retailed for ¥3,000.
The box of Nintendo Punchbuoy can be opened for display in the shop
The set contains the bright orange plastic 'buoy', which has a hole in the center through which two cords are inserted. Handles are attached to the ends of these cords.

The 'buoy' is 20 centimeters long and about 14 centimeters in diameter.
The cords are about 6 meters long.
The objective of Punchbuoy is to shuttle the 'buoy' over the cords, from one player to the other.
You start by holding the handles close to each other.
You then pull the handles sideways, and the 'buoy' is pushed forwards. If you do this with enough power and speed, the 'buoy' shoots all the way to the other end of the cord. The player on that end repeats the action and returns the 'buoy'. This way, the two players can make the 'buoy' continuously move back and forth with great speed.
The game is not only about power. Timing is also important. If you pull the handles apart too soon, before the 'buoy' arrives at the end, it will slow down. If you are too late, the 'buoy' crashes into the handles with quite some force. In this case, rubber stops in front of the handles absorb part of the shock.
As mentioned, Nintendo released this game in 1975.
Nintendo did not design the game, but acquired the rights to manufacture it from a company called 'Rainbow Plastics'.
Rainbow Plastics was a daughter company from US company Rainbow Lifegard Products, Inc. from El Monte CA.
Punchbuoy was originally called Playbuoy, and Rainbow Lifegard Products trademarked this name in 1973.
Trademark as filed by Rainbow Lifeguard Products, Inc
Rainbow Lifegard Products filed a patent for the Playbuoy in 1971.
Patent for the 'Exercising Device' (US patent 3,743,280)
The inventor was a gentleman named Daniel Martinez.
The game is described in the patent as an "Exercising device with entertainment value which includes a shuttle movable along two cords loosely journalled in a common hole through the shuttle".
Back to the Nintendo Punchbuoy.
Why Nintendo changed the name from Playbuoy to Punchbuoy is unclear. Maybe they thought this name was too simliar to a certain mens publication?
Instructions on the back of the Nintendo Punchbuoy box
Images on the back of the Punchbuoy box illustrate the versatility of this toy. The image on the left shows how the buoy can be 'moved with thrilling speed' (「スピーヂィーでスリリングなブイのうごき」).
An adult can also play against two children. These doubles 'require timing and teamwork' (「タイミングとチームワーク必要がダブルスでやる方法」).
If you use your imagination, and are willing to risk permanent back injury, there are really no limitations to the use of the Punchbuoy.
Experts can do it 'facing backwards' (「なれて上手になったらうしろ向きになって」).
The instructions even claim it is possible to 'train your body solo' (「ひとりでも体トレーニングができます」), though I have my doubts this actually works well.
Next time you go to the beach, I suggest you leave your Nintendo 3DS at home, and take a Nintendo Punchbuoy instead. If you can find one.

We actually had these at my elementary school, the Nintendo brand and everything.

Wow. Really? What year and place was this?
Northfield, MN, in the years around 1992-1994 or such. It is possible they were donated to the school, but I clearly remember the logo on the side of these things. Unfortunately, I cannot give any more details, other than we loved to play with these in the recess area!

I had one of these as a kid. The Playbuoy. You mentioned a lot of other companies make them, but I can't seem to find them anywhere. Any ideas of who/where makes them and under what name? I want to get one for my kids for Christmas. Thanks.

I have checked around, but I could not find any currently for sale. In the past (i am talking about the 80s, 90s) I did still see these quite regularly, but I guess they disappeared from shops at some point. I think I am getting old, and time passes too quickly. Will update the post.

Now I know how Pressman got the idea for "Zoom Ball"!
I had one of these when I was a kid. I'm not 30+ and when I went home to visit my family out of state my dad told me it broke. More than anything in want to get him a new one..where could I possibly find one! Help please!

I am sorry, but I can't help you. I have been looking for one of these myself recently, but it seems they are no longer produced. Which is strange, as it is a cool toy!
