You walk into an empty castle.
You turn your back to the window. For all its empyrean sanctity, the light's still too bright, too blinding, a twisting knife in hyper-focused eyes. Your gaze is turned away; you don't want to see it. Instead, it falls elegantly, dancing at your throne.
You gaze at the silver sunbeams (silver?) falling flaccidly to the marble floor around you, seeming to evaporate and drift into the air; an air thin with promise.
Rome won't fall. Rome won't fall.
(Now there's blood in every hollow death of your pawns—your fellow kings—left sprinkled in the red checked courts before you; left not to wither and waste away in unfulfilled wishfulness, but awaiting judgment, purgatorial sentencing.
Except you don't do any of that, so you don't see any of that. Instead, you stand still within the fortress that is your imperial castle, gazing with haunted eyes at the sun burning in the window.
(There's smoke now, tendrils of gasping potency left to drain as the sun smoulders within its own legacy. Enough smoke to obscure your eyes, to shield your eyes from the flashing. Perhaps eerily akin to a siren, or gunshots in the air.) It's clearly just the dawn.
The night is rising now as the light flickers. But the night only brings your innocence, your dreams; and it chases away the holy monsters that shine light into your eyes, into the mirrors of your mind, beseeching you to see. You welcome the night, raising your glass to the sky.
(Like drums pounding, you think. A processional thrum.) Then again, certainly not. The very idea is ridiculously absurd.
You walk, languid, movements fluid, stopping to rest on your throne. You don't speak.
(Seventeen years and nineteen score. What was all of it for?) Silence is golden.


Vodkamom: It's a question for the ages, isn't it?
It's a question for the ages, isn't it?
I had just finished explaining the writing activity when Sam raised his hand. He and Ian had been whispering a bit back and forth during the very exciting lesson on how to write a "How-To Book" and I was fairly certain he needed some clarification...again.
"Yes, Sam, what's your question?"
"Well, I was wondering, do you think Ian can beat up Jesus?"
I looked at him, wide eyed. "Well, Sam, that depends. What grade is Jesus IN?"
"He's not in a GRADE! It's Jesus, you know.....GEE-ZUS!"
"Well, Hmm, I don't think that has anything to do with our "How-To" book activity. So ... let's just chat about that after everyone else gets to work, okay? Okay."
Sweet Lord in Heaven, doesn't ANYONE listen to me????
Haha! Gotta love those kids.
Be careful beating up Jesus. His Daddy may lay an Old Testament style smiting on your behind.

Volvo expects to set a sales record in 2017, its 90th year of car production, because of high demand for models such as (from left) the V90, XC90, S90 and V90 Cross Country.
Anders Gustafsson sees Volvo's 90th birthday from the most unique perspective of anyone on the company's executive management team.
The 48-year-old Swede's family has been selling the brand for the last 45 years through its company, Bildeve, which is the oldest Volvo Cars dealership in southern Sweden. Like Volvo, Bildeve turns 90 this year -- and both are thriving.
"Volvo has tried so many times to reach the premium level and now it is there," Gustafsson, who is the automaker's senior vice president of Europe, Middle East and Africa, told Automotive News Europe. Since 2014 Volvo has annually set a new global sales record, a streak it expects to continue in 2017 by topping the current high of 534,332 that was reached last year.
The company's 2016 operating profit rose 66 percent to 11 billion Swedish crowns ($1.24 billion) and revenue increased 10 percent to 180.7 billion crowns. That helped improve the automaker's profit margin to 6.1 percent compared with a 4 percent margin in 2015. In 2013, Volvo's operating margin was just 1.6 percent. The goals for 2020 are even tougher: global sales of 800,000 vehicles and a profit margin of 8 percent.
Volvo's continued revival under Chinese owner Zhejiang Geely Holding, which bought the underachieving automaker from Ford Motor Co. in 2010, gives Gustafsson reason to believe that the best is still to come.
"I am very confident we can stay at this level, but we're going to have to work even harder to try to exceed what we have already achieved," he said.
When asked what Volvo's 90th birthday means to him, Gustafsson told ANE: "It's extremely personal. My whole life has been connected to Volvo."
Gustafsson's first job was at the dealership, where he started cleaning cars at age 14. He is the youngest of four brothers. His oldest brother is stepping down this year as managing director of the dealership after 45 years at the company, which sells about 3,500 vehicles a year, and will be replaced by Gustafsson's second-oldest brother, who has worked at the dealership in Helsingborg, Sweden, for the last 30 years.
Given his family's long history with the brand it only seems natural that he was handpicked by Volvo Cars Sweden to be groomed to take on a high-level position within the company.
Gustafsson is one of many Swedes who feel a strong connection to the brand. Another is CEO Hakan Samuelsson, who didn't hesitate when he was asked in 2010 to join the company's board of directors. "I said 'Yeah, of course.' It is a Swedish crown jewel. If you could in any way play a role in improving that you would take it."
He was given even more power to guide the company in 2012 when the board asked him to succeed Stefan Jacoby as CEO of the automaker. In the release to announce the change Samuelsson said: "My focus will be on execution and performance, to secure profitability and meet our sales objectives."
That level of belief and determination was exhibited by Volvo founders Gustaf Larson and Assar Gabrielsson in the 1920s when they asked themselves whether Sweden could produce its own cars. On April 14, 1927, they proved it was possible, and the company is poised to make its next 90 years even more memorable.

Muscle Milk Team Announces deal
Muscle Milk Pickett Racing completed a multiyear LMP1 deal with Honda Performance Development to run its HPD ARX-03a in the American Le Mans Series beginning in 2012.
MyMotorways was told that this was going to be announced in early November, but it did not get official until just last week. Details below
The deal is part of a multifaceted, long-term relationship between CytoSport–Greg Pickett's health and nutrition company and the maker of Muscle Milk–and American Honda, which includes Muscle Milk's title sponsorship of the Honda factory motocross team now known as Team Honda Muscle Milk.
Muscle Milk Pickett Racing, which is entering its third full season of competition in the ALMS, will also be celebrating the continued support of longtime partner Michelin as its tire supplier and the return of Klaus Graf and Lucas Luhr to its driver lineup.
"We're very proud to announce this deal with HPD as we feel confident that their car and engine package, along with our tire partner Michelin, offer us the best combination to achieve our ultimate goal of 2012, which is to win the LMP1 championship," team owner and CytoSport founder Pickett said in a team statement. "I am very much looking forward to having both Klaus and Lucas back together again. They've provided us with many happy memories this past season, and I can't wait to see what they will achieve aboard our new Muscle Milk HPD ARX-03a this upcoming season. Between them and our LMPC drivers Memo Gidley and Mike Guasch, I think we will have a very exciting and competitive year."
The pair of Graf and Luhr finished runner-up in the standings in 2011 with a class-leading four wins. They have one goal in mind for 2012–winning the championship.
Graf, who has finished second in the standings the past two years, will be competing in his fifth season with the team in the ALMS as well as his eighth in the sports-car series.
"I'm very thrilled about our new LMP1 program for the 2012 ALMS season," Graf said. "The Honda Performance Development ARX-03a, powered by HPD's proven 3.4-liter LM-V8 engine, should be the right package to achieve our goal, which is to win the ALMS championship. The HPD LMP1 prototype is a state-of-the-art LMP1 [car] built with the latest technology and resources."
"I'm happy to be back with Muscle Milk Pickett Racing and to once again team up with Klaus," he said. "Entering a season with a new car is always something special, and I can't wait to be in the car for the first time at the Sebring winter test in February.
The team expects delivery of its HPD ARX-03a in mid-January and plans to be on track for its first outing with its new HPD prototype at the ALMS Winter Test at Sebring International Raceway on Feb. 8-9, 2012.

Yalla bina! Come and explore the music and culture of Palestine and the surrounding area with me on my year abroad in Nablus. I'm not going to lie to you - I'm no expert, and that's why I want you to come with me while I take my first steps into the region's rich cultural heritage. We cannot forget the politics of occupation, diaspora and liminality woven into the cultural fabric, however in this small space I'll be focusing on the rhythms and melodies that are jumbled up with those concepts and that will hopefully bring a little Palestinian sunshine into your living room, mum's kitchen or even into your headphones on the tube.

I will admit that I will make adequate pancakes for a number of days, that way I can have an amazing breakfast for the rest of the week. The beauty of the breakfast salad is that most of the dish can be prepared day ahead, refrigerated, and pulled out in the morning.

We can scrap your car legally in Magherafelt, free collection and disposal, scrap a car and get cash today!
Magherafelt Tourist Information Centre, also known as The Bridewell, is housed within the walls of the old gaol- right in the heart of the town centre. The centre is open all year round and provides the Magherafelt public and the visiting tourist with everything you ever needed to know about Magherafelt and the surrounding area. In past centuries The Bridewell in Magherafelt was where local citizens were locked up for their misdemeanors, unable to communicate with the outside world. In stark contrast, the doors of today's Bridewell building are well and truly open, the bank of computers inside allowing people to communicate with others world-wide. Formerly the Court House and jail, The Bridewell now contains Magherafelt's new Library, which was officially opened on 19th June 2002 by Culture, Arts and Leisure Minister Michael McGimpsey.
The Bridewell building is used by the NEELB Library Service to provide a wide range of resources, with adult and children's books available for lending along with CD, Video and DVD collections. 20 PC's provide access to the "People's Network", (a speedy broad band Internet connection) allowing library members to email friends, search for information, use video conferencing facilities and also visit "A Sense of Place"! Local newspapers, dating from the nineteenth century, are held on microfilm and can be viewed through a special Reader/Printer (including the court report mentioned in the page on Magherafelt's Old Courthouse).
A familiar landmark at the bottom of Magherafelt's Broad Street, the site of the present Bridewell building used to be occupied by both the old courthouse, as well as the jail. The old cells and Bridewell walls (see photo opposite) have now been incorporated into the new building, which houses Magherafelt's new library and a tourist information point. The site has a long history, with Maitlands "History of Magherafelt" stating that a place of worship can be traced back to 1425. It was in the 19th century that the site became more associated with legal, rather than spiritual, matters with the building of a courthouse.

/EIN News/ -- SEATTLE, April 17, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE – CFN Media Group ("CFN Media"), the leading agency and financial media network dedicated to the North American cannabis industry, announces the publication of an article covering the expansion of Cansortium (CSE: TIUM). The company, one of Florida's largest medical marijuana companies and the only one based in the state, with head offices in Miami, is once again expanding its retail presence with the addition of a Knox Medical dispensary in Casselberry, FL.
Cansortium controls one of 14 operating licenses in Florida - a state with the fastest growing medical cannabis patient population in the US - opened Orlando's first dispensary in 2017. The company's new location, 10 kilometers northeast of central Orlando, is designed to augment the Orlando dispensary and make it easier for residents in the north and eastern suburbs to obtain medical marijuana, whether in-store or through Knox's delivery service.
Until last month, Florida's medical patients were limited to extract-based products, but a 2017 ban on the smoking of cannabis flower was finally overturned on March 19, 2019, meaning that as well as offering derivatives such as CBD/THC oils, vapes, tinctures, topical, etc. patients will now be able to obtain flower through Knox Medical, and the new law allows them to receive two and a half ounces of whole flower cannabis every 35 days.
Cansortium's proprietary cultivation techniques give it an advantage over competitors relying solely on legacy cultivation practices. Its cultivation operations and R&D are overseen by a world-renowned PhD agronomist, and its proprietary drying & terpene extraction process requires only six hours per cycle, as opposed to the six days required using conventional methods, while preserving terpenes and whole plant profiles. The company currently operates a GMP-certified 31,000 sq. ft greenhouse and 9,000 sq. ft processing facility, with an additional 187,000 sq. ft. of cultivation space being added in 2019.
Cansortium also has retail, cultivation, and processing operations in Texas, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, as well as Colombia – the anticipated hub of the red hot emerging Latin American cannabis market. It's recently expanded into Canada, the first federally-legalized recreational market in the world, and a domestic expansion into Michigan, where license-holders are allowed an unlimited number of dispensaries, is currently underway. The company is also engaged in strategic expansions into Argentina, Australia, and the emerging European market - which is expected to outpace the US and Canadian markets combined.


If you've experienced the death of someone important to you, you might find it difficult to adjust to the changes happening in your life. This is normal. Grief can affect each of us in different ways. There's no right or wrong way to feel, though shock, numbness, exhaustion, anger and guilt are emotions many people feel as they experience grief and loss.
At Waverley Care, we understand that bereavement coupled with HIV or Hepatitis C can bring additional complications. Fear of stigma, or concerns about disclosure of a loved one's HIV or Hepatitis C status, can compound an already stressful situation. Some people may also feel shut out by a partner's family or feel a sense of guilt at still being alive.
It's important to know that you're not alone. We can help if the person who has died was living with HIV or Hepatitis C, or if it is you who is living with one of the conditions and have experienced the loss of a loved one.
We offer a wide range of support services that can help you deal with many of the issues that accompany bereavement. You might want help in coping with the emotional impact of your loss or you might need assistance with more practical matters, such as the financial implications or help in dealing with funeral directors.


1. Por que configurar IPMP?
2. Que necesito para IPMP?
- Como buena practica tener 2 network card en el Server ambas NICs conectadas en diferentes puertos del switch.
TIP: IPMP, es necesario tener acceso remoto via consola en caso de perder la comunicacion con el Server.
En la siguiente tabla muestra y describe los componente que componen el IP network multipathing.
A communication facility or medium over which nodes can communicate at the link layer. The link layer is the layer immediately following IPv4 or IPv6. Examples include Ethernets, simple or bridged, or ATM networks. One or more IPv4 subnet numbers or prefixes are assigned to an IP link. A subnet number or prefix cannot be assigned to more than one IP link. In ATM LANE, an IP link is a single emulated LAN. When using ARP, the scope of the ARP protocol is a single IP link.
Network adapter that is either internal or a separate card that serves as an interface to a link.
A node's attachment to a link. This attachment is often implemented as a device driver plus a network adapter. Some network adapters can have multiple points of attachment, for example, qfe. The usage of Network adapter in this document refers to a "Single Point of Attachment."
The set of physical interfaces on a system that is connected to the same link. The set is identified by assigning the same (non-null) character string name to all the physical interfaces in the group.
A name that is assigned to a physical interface that identifies the group. The name is local to a system. Multiple physical interfaces, sharing the same group name, form a physical interface group.
The process of detecting when a NIC or the path from the NIC to a layer 3 device no longer works.
The process of detecting when a NIC or the path from the NIC to some layer 3 device starts operating correctly after a failure.
The process of switching network access from a failed interface to a good physical interface. Network access includes IPv4 unicast, multicast, and broadcast traffic, as well as IPv6 unicast and multicast traffic.
The process of switching back network access to an interface that is detected to have been repaired.
A physical interface that is not used to carry data traffic unless some other physical interface in the group has failed.
Si elegiste hacer el cambio con el comando eeprom en el OS level 3, debes reinicar el Server para continuar.
4. Si no cuentas con el binario de in.mpathd Multipathing daemon, instalar el SUNWcsr (Core Solaris) pkg file. Este demonio detecta fallosy repara anomalia, envia un ioctl que hace el failover o failback. El Internet Protocol que implementa el ioctl hace que la conectividad, failover sea transparente y automatico.
5. Verifica el parametro de FAILURE_DETECTION_TIME en el configuration file /etc/default/mpathd que tenga 10000 milliseconds esto quiere decir que cada 10seg en caso de haber algun problema con la conectividad el failover ocurrira.
6. Configurando un Multipathing Interface Group con 2 Interfases.
En el /etc/hosts file, anexar la informacion de "floating IP" (The one everyone else will use to connect to your system) and the other two physical IP's. Esto no es necesario documentar pero si recomendable en caso de olvidar el uso de estas IPs.
NOTE: En este ejemplo, se configuro el /etc/hostname.qfe0 similar a /etc/hostname.hme0 (con la unica diferencia del "hostname-phys2" y "logical-virtual-2" ) las IPs son tomadas del file /etc/hosts.
8. Agrega ambas interfases al Mulipathing group (llamado ipmpgroup en este caso - el nombre puede ser cualquiera).
Configurar test address para las interfases fisicas.
9. Test: Ejecutar ping a tu "floating IP" (10.10.10.3 en nuestro caso) y desconecta el cable fisico de alguna de las NICs.
Con el comando if_mpadm de solaris 10 podemos ayudarnos para el testing, si prefieres "virtualmente" se puede realizar de la siguiente manera "if_mpadm -d INTERFACE_NAME" esto deshabilita la interfase,esto es como desconectar el cable fisicamente del Server. Ver if_mpadm man page para mayor informacion de este comando.

Gamma-Ray Bursts III
The birth of a black hole can be a violent event.
The nuclear reactions in the core of a massive star come to an end, so the core collapses to form the black hole. Gas in the star's outer layers falls toward the black hole, where some of it is heated to billions of degrees. Some of that gas forms a swirling disk around the black hole, but some punches through the star's poles, creating a brilliant flash of energy.
If the poles happen to aim toward Earth, then space telescopes can see the flash as a gamma-ray burst — the most powerful type of outburst in the universe. In a few seconds or minutes, it can radiate more energy than the Sun will produce in its entire 10-billion-year lifetime. And the gamma-ray burst is followed by a supernova, as the star's outer layers blast out into space.
That's the leading explanation for gamma-ray bursts that last for two seconds or longer. Some of them appear to be powered by stars that are about as big as the Sun, but many times more massive. These outbursts last up to a few minutes — the time it takes their stars' outer layers to collapse, then explode into space.
Other gamma-ray bursts can last for hours. These also appear to be powered by heavy stars, but the stars are also many times bigger than the Sun. It takes a long time for their outer layers to collapse and explode, so the jets last a lot longer — and so does the gamma-ray burst — the possible birth of a black hole.
More tomorrow.

Chess in the City
10/4/2004 – What brings hundreds of New York chess fans to Central Park on a rainy October day? They are there to watch a game between two grandmasters, which children reinact on a giant chessboard. This is another great idea coming out of the Susan Polgar Foundation – one that even Governor George E. Pataki knows to appreciate. More...
The London System with 2.Bf4
"Simple yet aggressive!" Enjoy this new exciting DVD by Simon Williams. Let the famouns Grandmaster from England show you how to gain a very exciting yet well founded opening game with the London System (1.d4 d5 2.Bf4).
By Susan Polgar in collaboration with Paul Truong
I recently received an invitation from the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation to join Grandmaster Lev Alburt in playing a Human Live Chess event in Central Park on Saturday, October 2, 2004. I jumped on it immediately because of a few reasons. First of all, it is a pleasure and honor for me to compete against Lev, a prolific chess author and one of the nicest Grandmasters you could ever meet. Secondly, it is an opportunity to help US Chess by promoting the game to the public especially young children.
Chess, the game of choice for America's good men
Chess players everywhere! But where is the sun?
Our event was part of the 4th Annual Chess-in-the-Parks Rapid Open. Even though it looked like it would rain all day, more than 450 participants showed up for this wonderful event and the weather cooperated with us all the way until late afternoon. There were thousands of other spectators surrounding the chess tournament all day. The event was held right by the Bethesda Fountain, one of the most beautiful and most visible spots in Central Park.
Black, White, Asian, old or young, everyone speaks the same language: Chess
Players and spectators all enjoying the intensity of the game
Children can play a mean game of chess too
The event was a complete success and I hope that the city will continue to support chess for many years to come. I am working with the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation and New York City Sports Commissioner office to have many other spectacular events for chess next year.

At around 1 PM, the players took a break to participate in a human chess event. Lev and I would play a 15 minute game. After each of our move, the human chess piece would make the same move on a giant board.
Live Human Chess. GM Alburt and I are on the stage battling it out
First move by GM Alburt 1.d4 as Ed Feldman looks on
And the kids execute the same moves on the human chessboard
The coin toss was made by the event organizer Ed Feldman. I lost the coin toss and Lev chose White. Below is our very interesting game:
GM Lev Alburt – GM Susan Polgar
New York Central Park, October 2, 2004
1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 d5 3.c4 dxc4. Now the game has transposed to Queen's Gambit Accepted. 4.Nc3 e6. Also 4…a6 and 4…c5 are common. 5.Qa4+. More ambitious is 5.e4. 5…Nbd7 6.e4 c5. Another possible continuation is 6…a6. 7.d5! exd5 8.e5.
8...b5! This is an improvement over a game I played ten years ago. Back in 1994, I played 8…d4 against Vladimir Kramnik (Monaco rapid). But my opponent found a brilliant way to continue the attack and got a winning position after 9.Bxc4 dxc3 10.exf6 Qxf6 11.Bg5 Qg6 (after 11...Qc6 12.0–0–0!! Qxa4 13.Rhe1+ leads to a win: 13...Be7 14.Rxe7+ Kf8 15.Rxf7+ Kg8 16.Rfxd7+ Qxc4 17.Rd8+ Kf7 18.Ne5+) 12.0–0 f6 13.Rad1 c2 14.Rd2 fxg5 15.Ne5 Qf5 16.Nxd7 Bxd7 17.Rxd7 Qxd7 18.Bb5 and the rest should be easy although I managed to drag things out until move 118!
9.Qxb5 After 9.Nxb5 Ne4. Black is fine. 9...Rb8. With the Pawn sacrifice Black gains time to activate the Rook. 10.Qa4 d4. An important counterattack on the White Knight. 11.exf6. Black is better after 11.Nb5 Nd5 12.Bxc4 N5b6. 11...dxc3 12.Bxc4! A nice move!
12...Rb4! The right move! If 12...cxb2? White has a winning combination with 13.Bxf7+! Kxf7 14.Ng5+ Kxf6 (14...Kg6 15.Qe4+) 15.Qc6+! Kf5 16.Qe6 checkmate! 13.Qd1. The other interesting option was 13.Qc2 Nxf6 14.b3! Be6 15.0–0 (15.Bxe6 Re4+) 15...Bxc4 16.bxc4 Be7 as the Miles-Karpov (Biel 1990) game continued, with a balanced position. 13...gxf6. Of course 13...Rxc4 was not possible because of the fork with 14.Qe2+. White has the advantage after 13...Qxf6 14.Bg5 Qd6 15.Qe2+ Be7 16.Rd1 Rxb2 17.Qe3 or 13...Nxf6 14.Bxf7+ Ke7 15.Qxd8+ Kxd8 16.bxc3. 14.b3. White to protect the Bishop on c4 as well defend against cxb2.
14...Ne5. The Black King is stuck in the middle so it is desirable for Black to try to trade pieces and especially Queens. 15.Qxd8+ Kxd8 16.Nxe5 fxe5.
Now that the fireworks are over, all White needs to do to win a Pawn back. 17.Bg5+. Probably more precise than 17.Bxf7. 17...Be7 18.0–0–0+ Ke8 19.Bxe7 Kxe7 20.Rhe1 f6.
21.f4. Using the pin along the e-file. Also after 21.Kc2 Be6 the position is equal. 21...Be6 22.fxe5 Bxc4 23.exf6+ Kxf6 24.bxc4 Rxc4. Black is still a Pawn up, but that advantage is only symbolic.
And I offered a draw, which was accepted right away. ½–½

Mr. Benepe, the Commissioner of NYC Department of Parks and Recreation arrived at around 2:30 PM to speak to the participants and the spectators. During his speech, he talked about the tremendous benefits of chess that we all know about. He kept on motivating the young players to stay in chess and enjoy the beauty of this game. As I mentioned in the beginning of this column, chess is booming and more and more people are recognizing this fact. It is wonderful to see so much support for chess. Thank you Ed Feldman for organizing this wonderful event and special thanks to the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation for sponsoring it.

New York Governor Pataki and Chess
On Wednesday, September 29, 2004, I was invited to meet New York Governor George E. Pataki at the Governor's Office in Manhattan along with Michael Khodarkovsky and Paul Truong. Unfortunately, none of the members of the Women's Olympiad Team was able to make it due to schedule conflict. The Governor was extremely busy meeting one group after another. But he made special time to meet us.
The Governor has Hungarian ancestry. His Grandparents immigrated to the United States from Hungary. In 1956, as an 11-year old boy, he recalls watching the unfolding events of the Hungarian Revolution with his father. This dramatic experience was the first in a long chain of events that helped shape his philosophy on the role of government -- a philosophy that is similar to that of the Governor's personal hero, Theodore Roosevelt. He is very proud of his heritage. One of his aids said that he jumps on any chance he gets to travel to Hungary.
The Hungarian connection
From time to time, the Governor and I conversed in Hungarian. He stated that he knew of me since I was four years old when I won the Budapest Girl's under 11 Championship with a 10-0 score. He complimented me on my work to promote chess among young people in the United States. I was very surprised that the Governor knows so much about my chess career and the Susan Polgar Foundation. The Governor is also very familiar with the Susan Polgar National Invitational for Girls. The Governor said that he thinks the event is a great idea and he agrees that chess is a wonderful game and it can really help so many children. The governor first learned chess from his father when he was a young boy. He told me to call him personally if he could be of any help with my chess projects.
I presented the Governor a 2004-2005 U.S. Women's Olympiad Calendar and a Hungarian book about my sisters and me.
I believe it can be a big boost for chess in New York as well as across America to have this kind of support. Before departing, the Governor wished the 2004 US Women's Olympiad Team, sponsored by the Kasparov Chess Foundation, all the best and hoped that the team can bring home the Gold for the United States.

Q: local variable referenced before assignment when using pandas.apply() I'm having a strange scope problem. The following code is a cell in a Jupyter Notebook. I have assigned p1_total_value and p2_total_value within correlation_check(). Then, later in correlation_check(), project_value(row) is defined and then finally applied to a DataFrame.
When I run this code, I get an UnboundLocalError saying that p1_total_value was referenced before assigment. If I add Global p1_total_value to project_value(row), it tells me that p1_total_value is undefined. It seems like somehow the pandas.apply() is happening before the code that precedes it in correlation_check().
# Check for correlation between the values deteremined in this analysis and the final scores of
# the games from in_depth_games

def correlation_check(game):

    player_count = game.Player.max()
    game_len = (max([int(row) for row in game.Generation if row not in ['Last', 'Final']]))

    calculated_values = all_gens_full_db(player_count)

    if player_count == 2:
        compression = 13/game_len
    elif player_count == 3:
        compression = 11/game_len
    elif player_count in [4, 5]:
        compression = 10/game_len

    p1_total_value = 0
    p2_total_value = 0

    p1_final_score = game.iloc[-2].Action
    p2_final_score = game.iloc[-1].Action

    def project_value(row):

        if 'played' in row.Action:
            project_name = row.Action.split('played ')[1]
            gen = round(compression * int(row.Generation))
            project_row = calculated_values[calculated_values.Title == project_name]
            value = int(project_row[f'Value Gen{gen}'])

            if int(row.Player) == 1:
                p1_total_value += value
            else: p2_total_value += value

    game = game.apply(project_value, axis=1)
    #print(f'''
    #        Player 1 total project value: {p1_total_value}
    #        Player 2 total project value: {p2_total_value}
    #        \n
    #        Player 1 final score: {}''')

correlation_check(in_depth_game_1)

A: Kindly assign the p1_total_value out of the function, and then global p1_total_value inside the function.

A: You should replace p1_total_value and p2_total_value with a list of two entries. That way, you can modify the list members in the function, which will work. That eliminates your namespace problems.  The same technique can be applied to the final scores, too.

    total_value = [0,0]

    p1_final_score = game.iloc[-2].Action
    p2_final_score = game.iloc[-1].Action

    def project_value(row):

        if 'played' in row.Action:
            project_name = row.Action.split('played ')[1]
            gen = round(compression * int(row.Generation))
            project_row = calculated_values[calculated_values.Title == project_name]
            value = int(project_row[f'Value Gen{gen}'])

            if int(row.Player) == 1:
                total_value[0] += value
            else:
                total_value[1] += value

    game = game.apply(project_value, axis=1)

Home News City of Mobile to Unveil New Future Land Use and Major Street...
Property, Rentals, Transactions
Mobile, Ala. – (RealEstateRama) — As directed by the Map for Mobile, the City of Mobile is unveiling the new Future Land Use Map and Major Street Plan on Thursday, April 6, at 6 pm in the gymnasium of Government Street Baptist Church, located at 3401 Government Boulevard. The City is also hosting a zoning workshop to gain further feedback from citizens on the zoning framework.
Mayor Stimpson launched the zoning overhaul last year to update the City's Future Land Use Plan, zoning code, and subdivision regulations, supporting the vision of Map for Mobile. City staff and consultants have been working alongside businesses, neighborhoods and community groups to complete these new drafts.
Updates to the zoning code incorporate form-based zoning principles, allowance for a greater mix of uses, new sign regulations, and updated permitting processes for development projects. The effort seeks to better coordinate the development review process by removing inconsistencies and eliminating outdated policies.
"As the City develops, we want to ensure that Mobile becomes the city its residents want it to be," said Mayor Stimpson. "I'm encouraging all citizens to attend this important presentation and learn about the new documents that will shape the future of the City of Mobile. Improving Mobile's zoning code helps keep the City competitive when it comes to attracting new investment and retaining businesses. This next step will foster growth and be a catalyst for economic development."
About Map for Mobile:
The Map for Mobile was drafted and adopted through a community-driven process which created a long-range, comprehensive plan expressing recommendations for preservation, revitalization and growth. Most importantly, it includes realizable action steps to ensure that recommendations become reality. Continue to support the vision. An overhaul of the City's zoning codes is underway, based on the guiding principles within the Map for Mobile, Framework for Growth.

The bleeding Christ - Black Spain
Here in this room, you are struck by the size of the painting "El Cristo de la Sangre" or The Bleeding Christ, by Ignacio Zuloaga.
The dark and gloomy aesthetic style contains features that are very real, such as the faces and the Avila landscape, which are symbolically brought together here to portray a kind of mystical religiousness that is so austere as to seem tragic.
The Spanish philosopher, Miguel de Unamuno, said that all the features were taken from real life and that the artist's role was simply to combine them in a symbolic way.
The faces Zuloaga portrayed are those of rural people, whose lives are spent far from the cosmopolitan atmosphere of big cities and industrial society. He showed them here in an impossible scene. This is typical of the Symbolist movement of the period.
Symbolism came onto the Spanish art scene thanks to a travel book, "La España Negra", or Black Spain, which was published 1898 and written by the naturalist painter Darío de Regoyos, who summarized and interpreted a set of original writings by the Belgian poet Emile Verhaeren, written ten years earlier during a trip they both made around Spain.
A different movement to French Symbolism, the Belgian version that was practiced in Spain saw traces of the infinite and the transcendence of mankind in the immediate reality perceived by our senses. Another identifiable Symbolist feature of this painting of "The Bleeding Christ" is its Provincialism, or the taste for scenes in which folklore and popular tradition are shown as the repositories of a kind of essence of the nation.
Zuloaga, who did not belong to any particular artistic movement, pursued his fondness for costumbrista scenes, after comparing Parisian Bohemian life with that of Andalusia or Castile. He turned his artist's gaze back towards Spain, as did many other artists of his generation.

JOEY NEGRO 'Remixed With Love Vol 3'(Z)
DiscoReviewsSoul / Funk
During the early 80s a kid called Dave Lee who calls himself Joey Negro, Doug Willis, Jakatta, Z Factor or Raven Maize amongst other aliases these days, had a dream: One day he wanted to re-edit and mix all the great classic Disco, Funk & Soul records he grew up with. Many years and a long career in Dance music later, this dream became reality and the kid from back then is now regarded as one of the key figures when it comes to the above mentioned sounds. His third offering of the now legendary Remixed With Love series again is done with a lot of love and faith towards the Original records and again Dave Lee has been able to get his hands on long forgotten and hard to find master tapes or multi tracks of classics that cried for a new version. The result is amazing again and has taken Joey Negro several years to finish.
As with previous volumes, Dave Lee has put his own inimitable spin on more than a dozen seminal records. What you get are brand new versions of big, very well known records like Odyssey's 'Going Back To My Roots', Gladys Knight & The Pips 'Bourgie Bourgie' or Deniece Williams' 'Free' alongside lesser know jams like Samuel Jonathan Johnson's 'You' or Michael Wycoff's 'Looking Up To You'. Further artists featured on this great album are Earth Wind & Fire, Gwen McCrae, Lonnie Liston Smith, The Fatback Band, Patti Labelle and Patrice Rushen to name but a few. The entire album will be available on triple gatefold vinyl and double CD as well as digitally. We all can only hope that the difficulties Dave Lee had on getting his hands on those rare multi tracks in the first place will be blown away by the success of the series. Volume 2 of it was one of the best selling compilations on Traxsource in 2016 and similar things are expected with this outing as it is equally brilliant and a must have for anyone being into Soul, Funk and Disco sounds with a modern touch.

Malta – Valletta
Valletta is the de facto capital city of Malta, colloquially known as Il-Belt (English: The City) in Maltese. It is located in the central-eastern portion of the island of Malta.
Valletta contains buildings from the 16th century onwards, built during the rule of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, also known as Knights Hospitaller. The city is essentially Baroque in character, with elements of Mannerist, Neo-Classical and Modern architecture in selected areas, though World War II left major scars on the city.
The City of Valletta was officially recognised as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1980.
The city is named for Jean Parisot de la Valette, who succeeded in defending the island from an Ottoman invasion in 1565. The official name given by the Order of Saint John was Humilissima Civitas Valletta — The Most Humble City of Valletta, or Città Umilissima in Italian. The bastions, curtains and ravelins along with the beauty of its Baroque palaces, gardens and churches, led the ruling houses of Europe to give the city its nickname Superbissima — 'Most Proud'.

Malta – Temple of Hagar Qim
Hagar Qim is a megalithic temple complex found on the Mediterranean island of Malta, dating from the Ġgantija phase (3600-3200 BC). The Megalithic Temples of Malta are amongst the most ancient religious sites on Earth, described by the World Heritage Sites committee as "unique architectural masterpieces."
Hagar Qim's builders used globigerina limestone in the temple's construction. As a result of this, the temple has suffered from severe weathering and surface flaking over the millennia. In 2009 work was completed on a protective tent.

Corporate Vision Magazine has named Oleeo as the winner of the Best Recruitment Platform prize of the Executive Search and Recruitment Awards 2018.
The awards celebrate a truly dynamic industry and aim to shine a spotlight on those at the top of their game, enabling professionals to attract the best talent available.
Discussing the success of their winners, Nathan Angell, Awards Coordinator commented: "The recruitment industry can often be one the first targets when governments and industry leaders stress about productivity levels, the skills of their employees and candidates, and economic output. As such, it is more important than ever to recognise and reward the leading lights in the industry, and I am proud to do so through this prestigious awards programme. Congratulations to all of my winners and good luck for the future."
The awards were held to celebrate the ways in which recruitment has changed with Oleeo acclaimed for its innovation approach in recognising that "Compared to just a few years ago, candidates now have far more power during the job search. Referrals are now critical to the ability to place new candidates. Referrals from existing candidates is the single best source of talent this past year. According to research the current job market is 90% candidate driven. This means you don't pick talent anymore. Talent picks you."
Charles Hipps, CEO of Oleeo, said: "We are thrilled to recieve this award. The fact is that not understanding career aspiration and then not meeting expectation is where the process is galling down and it is where the horror stories of businesses not achieving retention rates derive from."

Our possessions often present a physical barrier to getting what we need. I've got rid of most of my furniture – we use futons to help improve the mobility of our knees and hips
I've had a few startling revelations since speaking to Katy Bowman about how the innocuous choices we make on a daily basis are leading to the human race becoming increasingly sedentary and further divorced from nature.
Indeed, the more affluent we become, the worse it seems to get. We spend most of our lives in insulated boxes or heated moving boxes. The super-wealthy are even asking for beaches to be carpeted so as not to get sand on their feet (see interview with Aaron Simpson from Quintessentially on page 32).
Despite being an amateur triathlete, I was shocked to realise I fall into the active but sedentary category. I train four times a week, but spend about eight hours a day sitting down at a computer, and on an average day I only walk about 5,000 steps.
"Maybe you walk a lot or ride your bike every day, but the latest research shows you can be actively sedentary," says Bowman. "If you exercise an hour a day, seven days a week – and who does? – your total movement time equals 420 minutes, out of a possible 10,080. About 4 per cent of your time.
"The other 96 per cent of your weekly minutes is spent the same way as the non-exercisers: in the same home furniture, in the same office chair, staring at the computer screen, with arms and necks frozen, wearing the same geometry-altering footwear."
Our lifestyle habits have changed, but our physiology is the same as it was in our hunter/gatherer days and Bowman says we should still be walking more and doing a range of movements, like squatting, climbing and using our arms.
"Our bodies don't need seven hours of exercise a week. They need more like eight hours of movement a day, approximately 3,000 minutes a week," she says. "Hunter/gatherers would have engaged in about 10 times as much movement, which makes a huge difference when it comes to the strength of a tissue like bone. Our lack of movement is causing muscles, bones and cells to starve."
Nutritious movement
Bowman says that although we have come to realise the importance of a varied and nutritious diet, there is a lack awareness of the need for varied movement, or what she calls nutritious movement. "People need to eat a huge variety of movement nutrients and need to eat them way more often," she says.
"Most people aren't getting the full spectrum of movement nutrition necessary for human function. Some of the signals of a poor movement diet could be diseases like osteoporosis, bad knee or backs, frequent headaches, pelvic floor problems, or digestive issues. The chances are people are either lacking movement nutrition entirely, or they are eating a ton of movement oranges; meaning they use the same types of exercise moves over and over again and have never reached for the movement equivalent of a kale salad. We need as much variety in our movement diet as we do in our food."
One of the reasons this is happening is because of the societal move to outsource everyday movements. Deciding to hire a gardener, or a cleaner – frequently to free us up for more desk-based work – might be a conscious decision, but many of our outsourcing movement decisions are made unconsciously.
Bowman cites electronic car keys as an example. "To avoid moving around a car to unlock it, or avoid turning our wrists, we have accepted plastic (future landfill) and a battery," she says. "Making these car keys has required other humans, elsewhere in the world, to labour, extract resources from the earth and sometimes even wage war. Without us even realising it, sedentarism is linked to consumerism, materialism, colonialism and destruction of the planet. In order to move less, we are expecting someone else to move for us."
"Apples are another example. By coring and slicing apples for my nine-year-old son, I have unwittingly been contributing to another negative trend. In 2014, Americans ate 511 million sliced apples, which is driving the food industry to focus on pre-sliced, treated and packaged apples, which are more expensive, less healthy, not natural, and have negative repercussions for the environment in terms of the packaging and the fuel used to manufacture the packaging. My son has been told to start working his jaw."
Processed movement
Obesity and inactivity are the biggest health crises of our time, which could put the NHS out of business. Exercise professionals believe they have the answer and the gym industry is chomping at the bit to partner the NHS in helping people to be more active and lose weight. However, Bowman believes that exercise for the sake of exercise and repetitive movements in a gym aren't sufficient to maintain a healthy body.
She says that this is the movement equivalent of processed food.
"Our response to all this lack of movement indoors is to eat fewer calories and boost the intensity of our one hour of exercise," Bowman says. "But we should be focusing instead on creating a movement-rich life.
"It's vitally important to your health, down to the cellular level, that you use your body in as many ways as you can, for as much of the time as you can: get a standing desk, walk to work, sit on the floor instead of the couch. Of special importance are those movements we'd be using a lot were we were still living as hunter/gatherers, like walking for miles, squatting, climbing trees and using your arms for something other than typing. These movements which have been natural to humans for thousands of years, are essential to physical processes like digestion and circulation."
As well as moving more of our bodies, more often, Bowman says we need to be spending more time outdoors. Getting outside, in nature, has crucial health benefits according to Bowman, who sends her two small children to an outdoor school.
"Light, vitamin D and distance-looking are all aspects of being outside," she says. "Dirt and fresh air are good for the body, as are varying temperatures and interaction with phytoncides, the airborne chemicals emitted from plants to protect them from rotting. Like trees, our bodies adapt to the environment and currently they are adapting to an indoors, seated environment where we look at something two feet away."
Stacking your life
It might seem hard to find the time to be outside, as well as doing everything else we need to do in a day, so Bowman has come up with a concept called "stacking", or meeting multiple needs with one activity. Walking while making your work phone calls is stacking – although she points out that you should be walking within work time, not making work phone calls during down time in nature.
Active commuting is stacking. Doing something outside with the family scores very highly in the stacking stakes, especially if it involves foraging for the evening's dinner. Shopping ethically and locally is stacking. Something as simple as eating outdoors is stacking because you're removing the need for heating and lighting, you're looking into the distance and experiencing nature. However, exercise in the gym is unstacked movement as it only uses movement to improve one part of our lives, our physical structure and health.
"Going for a 30-minute walk to strengthen your muscles and burn some calories is an example of exercise," says Bowman. "But walking a mile to the store to pick up something for dinner is an example of movement. They use muscles in the same way, but there is a big-picture difference regarding how biological needs are being met."
Bowman argues that the affluent ailments affecting our society, such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, cancer and osteoporosis, have been brought about by our attempt to live outside of nature. We live inside walls which limit how far we can see, chairs which prevent our hips and knees from bending all the way to get us to the floor, and thermostats which keep our body temperature at a constant, with no physiological work involved.
Added to this, Bowman says that there are entire categories of movement missing from the list of recommended exercises for health, which is why exercisers, couch potatoes and manual laborers who do a lot of repetitive movement are all prone to the same diseases, joint replacements and need to take the same medication. They are all engaging in limited motions of exercise, for a limited period of time, which will not solve the problems created by our sedentary lifestyles.
So, is there anything the health and fitness industry can do to help? "Health and fitness providers could help by presenting exercise in a broader context of movement," says Bowman. "Teaching the difference between movement and exercise, clearly stating that it's not only exercise we need, but all-day movement. The exercises they teach can help prepare people for more varied movement."
Health and fitness operators need to think outside of the box. They need to make sure they are offering enough choices for people to move in a range of ways and also educating them about the importance of doing so and making sure they have a varied (nutritious) programme of exercise.
As well as encouraging members to think about being active all day – active commuting, taking desk breaks to move and walking while making phone calls – gym owners could be getting their members outside more, for example with group exercise classes in the park, walking or running groups, or urban fitness classes such as StreetGym.
Activities such as yoga and pilates incorporate a wide range of movement and there is also a growing trend in the US for classes that incorporate a range of natural movements, such as MovNat, Animal Flow and the Ido Portal Method.
Finally, Bowman explains why it helps to have less stuff: "We have mistakenly equated getting more stuff with meaning that we are getting more out of life, but our possessions often present a physical barrier to getting the essentials we require. I have got rid of most of the furniture in my home – chairs and sofas, dining room chairs. We have a low table to eat from and the sprung bed has been replaced with a futon, in order to help improve the mobility of our knees, hips and ankles.
"We need more movement, more awareness, more nature, more time with family and friends, more time in nature with family and friends," she says. "We need to minimise the stuff in our lives, but maximise our natural structure, to create a robust body, within a robust community, within a less taxed environment."

Local Picker Finds Historic Naval Lithograph
Wednesday, January 30, 2019 - 9:23am

What if the Titanic had never made it out of the harbor? The infamous vessel, best known for striking an iceberg and sinking to the frozen depths of the Atlantic – claiming 1,503 lives as it did so – narrowly dodged a fateful moment as it was departing on its maiden voyage that would have changed history. On that day, April 11th, 1912, the Titanic almost collided with the S.S. City of New York while it was docked in the harbor. Today, a local picker has secured an interesting find related to the City of New York that has ties with the local area.
Brian Smith has been a picker for more than two decades, and in that amount of time he's found some fairly incredible historic items. Recently, he recovered a log from a Machias notary that recorded the testimony of shipmasters that experienced shipwrecks along the local coast.
While this find is also related to naval history, the circumstances are a bit different. Smith acquired a massive chrome lithograph of the City of New York from an estate in Nova Scotia after hearing about it from a friend in Oak Bay. The lithograph, which measures 32" x 47" in its frame and weighs upwards of 30 pounds, is dated to 1888, the same year that the City of New York was built.
The British-built City of New York was known in its time for its impressive, record-breaking speed of 20.11 knots; later it served as a troop transport vessel in the Spanish American War. When the Titanic nearly struck it, it was tied up in the harbor, but the passage of the massive ship caused it to break away from the quay. The captain of the Titanic skillfully maneuvered his vessel away, sparing the collision – but ultimately contributing to the ship's later demise.
The deceased passengers of the Titanic, once recovered, were brought to Halifax, Nova Scotia, where they were ceremoniously buried in a graveyard not far from where the lithograph of the City of New York was housed. Smith found a surprising connection with this area when he learned that the gravestones used for the Titanic passengers are from a St. Stephen quarry.
As a final connection with the area, Smith opened the lithograph's frame and looked behind it to find an intact issue of The Boston Globe from October 7th, 1888. Listed in the newspaper's incoming ships are several vessels from Maine, including from Calais. "I said to myself, 'Wow – I know this has never been touched," Smith said. "Somebody lined it right after they purchased it."
After doing some research via eBay and Google, Smith concluded that only two other chrome lithographs of the City of New York have been sold online since 1993, making it a rare find in and of itself. Smith plans to sell the piece.

Y-PEER Azerbaijan Focal Point in Charge
Being a youth activist in Azerbaijan for several years, I have had the opportunity to work with many adolescents, youth groups, and different
stakeholders. While generally, being an activist in a country where human rights and freedoms are less protected is difficult, it is even more challenging to work on issues of gender and sexual reproductive health and rights. It is with these challenges in mind that I wanted to share my experience as a Y-PEER educator on gender, violence, and SRHR in Azerbaijan, and to address the many obstacles I have faced while working in this field.
Saadat pictured with boys living in the conflict zone of Azerbaijan
Cultural practices and attitudes are some of the main barriers which prevent these sensitive subjects from being discussed among the general population of Azerbaijan. Sex and sexuality is a huge taboo topic in Azerbaijani society, and when it comes to discussion about sexual and reproductive health or rights, there tends to be huge backlash. This is because most people believe that these topics should be buried and avoided
as much as possible.
Young people are the most vulnerable group when it comes to suffering from the widespread lack of sexual education and awareness. For this reason, Y-PEER's awareness raising and training programs focus on knowledge-sharing and increasing competences in the area of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). In maintaining this focus, however, we face fear, concerns and accusations that we are unprincipled, or that we are attempting to damage common morality.
Photo from a Y-PEER Training in Azerbaijan
One of the reasons why people are so sensitive to these issues is that they do not touch upon these topics in school textbooks. It is very difficult to talk about sexual and reproductive health and rights with those who have never broached the subject with their teachers. Moreover, there is no comprehensive sexual education in schools, and usually, teacher will skip over the sections in other modules that deal with the anatomy of sexual organs, reproduction, or puberty. Schoolchildren therefore see that these topics cannot be talked about in public, and so they come to believe that these issues are private and shameful – they become a silent issue. This means that when trainers such as myself talk about SRHR with young people and adolescents, especially with those who live in rural areas, we have to face the stigma that comes with speaking about such issues.
We use a comprehensive methodology, where we try to build confidence, and bond emotionally with the young people who we are training. Then we talk in depth about the topic, assisting them to understand their own bodies and minds. Clearly, it is impossible to get this kind of work done in a day. It takes several days and we prepare our program accordingly. However, sometimes, in spite of all efforts and willingness for dialogue with parents, or community leaders, some still prevent their children from participating in the training programs.
One particular training experience stands out for me as an example of the difficulties faced by activists in the field of SRHR. It was last year, when I was working as a trainer in a 'Solidarity Camp' camp for teenagers. Throughout this training we focused on issues such as gender-biased sex
selective abortion, domestic violence, early marriages and the use theatre-based learning to combat discrimination. Of the 100 camp participants, only 16 partook in our training, as the majority of camp participants felt that we were violating the moral values of young people
in broaching SRHR-related issues. Of course, this attitude did not deter us, but it hindered our work, and continues to hinder our progress in providing comprehensive SRHR trainings to young people. Often, when we go to certain schools and rural areas, opposition prevents us from implementing our trainings. In addition, when we conduct trainings in schools, we are often asked by teachers not to discuss LGBT issues, despite the great need for young people to receive qualified peer education on this topic.
Another problem I have come up against very frequently is the issue of violence. I observe this much more among schoolchildren and people living in the rural areas of Azerbaijan. There are a number of reasons for this behavior; most notable is the general acceptance and justification of violence in society, which is hugely tied up with Azerbaijan's ongoing armed conflict with Armenia. This conflict infuses local communities with attitudes of violent masculinity, aggression and violence and can make communicating with them very difficult.
In 2015, while I was conducting a training for adolescents and young people living in the Aghdam district, an area that is located on the frontline, I could clearly observe certain behavioral problems among the participants. During the first three days of the training, the girls were discussing the violence that they had experienced, while the boys sat out of the discussion with the supervisors. After one of the sessions, we asked the boys to stay back so that we could speak to them about their continued aggressive behaviour towards the female participants in the training. It soon became apparent that the boys had been unaware of their aggression, as they were so unaccustomed to being in the company of girls that they did not know how to act normally around them. This is because, in many of these regions, girls attend occupational classes such as hairdressing or nursing, so that by the time they are teenagers they have limited interactions with boys. It is added to by the fact that girls do not tend to play outside on the streets once they become adolescents, as they are encouraged to stay at home.
The violent discourse of the boys in the company of female participants is therefore influenced by the binary division of boys and girls from a young age. It is not, however, a purely gendered issue. Indeed, the aggression of young people from these areas comes largely as a result of their experiences living on the frontline of the conflict where they become accustomed to the use of very violent behavior and aggressive discourse. Such behaviour is but one of the many reasons why I believe that there is a pressing need to organize anti-violence training programs for young people and adolescents, and to build capacity of more young people in order to eliminate violence.
Boys in the conflict zone of Azerbaijan
Given that I was born and raised in Azerbaijan, I know how ill-informed Azerbaijani youth tend to be about local, regional and global agendas and human rights issues. In the rural areas, especially those that border conflict zones, youth, and especially girls, have little information, education or financial resources, and so they are extremely vulnerable. I have worked with adolescents and youth of both genders, and most were completely unaware of topics such as gender, sexual and reproductive health and HIV/AIDS. Through the trainings and consultations, we not only increased the competence of youth on relevant topics, but also encouraged them to develop their messages on the change that they would like to see from local decision makers. It was very impressive to see the outcomes of these processes and it was clear that these trainings were life changing experiences for many of them. This kind of success is, for me, the main motivating factor for working with the most vulnerable youth and making their voices to be heard.
Their increased competences is what will will pave the way for the sustained development of the communities of Azerbaijan.

Q: Distribution of the sum of normal random variables Let $X\sim \mathcal N(\mu_X,\sigma_X^2),\ Y\sim \mathcal N(\mu_Y,\sigma_Y^2)$ two normal random variables and $a,b\in \mathbb R$.
If $X,Y$ are independent, then
$$aX+bY\sim \mathcal N(a\mu_X+b\mu_Y,a^2\sigma_X^2+b^2\sigma_Y^2)$$
If $X,Y$ are jointly normally distributed with correlation $\text{corr}(X,Y)=\rho$, then
$$aX+bY\sim \mathcal N(a\mu_X+b\mu_Y, a^2\sigma_X^2+b^2\sigma_Y^2 + 2ab\rho\sigma_X\sigma_Y)$$
But what if $X,Y$ are neither independent nor jointly normally distributed, what can we say about the distribution of their sum? And what would be an example of a sum of normal random variables that is not normally distributed?

A: Actually, your second statement is false.  This would only be true if $X,Y$ are jointly normal, which you do not assume. And if you're assuming joint normality then uncorrelated=independent.
