Flowering quince blooming in the yard of the Lafayette Miners Museum.
The truth is, I love other people's gardens more than my own — and not just because of the backlog of chores growing as fast as the grass is greening. There's almost nothing better than an early morning walk, peering into borders that are beginning to wake and seeing the first blooms of spring peeking over fences on tender branches.
Even at a distance, I marvel as gardens evolve and grow. There's something about seeing pictures of familiar plants taking root in another state and taking on qualities that are impossible in our arid climate. In my sister-in-law's coastal garden, nasturtium that struggle to survive in pots on my porch climb the fence creating a fiery backdrop.
She and I talk about plants, but I'm not sure we always understand each other.
Last weekend, she sent a photo of a monstrous plant, its glossy dark leaves looking like hands trying to open the living room window. She followed up with another picture of a Seussian topknot of future flowers and said "Japonica," offering the word my grandmother used to describe thorny shrub at the corner of my driveway that bears delicate coral-colored flowers.
My Japonica is a variety of flowering quince and hers is a fatsia, an evergreen native to Japan. No matter, I'm enjoying the progress of both for their grace and persistence.
I've come to understand, mostly through this job, the garden is a kind of Esperanto, a bridge where our common language fails us that allows us to unite in the joy of blossoms to come, whatever we call them.

TWO HUSSARS.
A TALE.
Jomini, aye, Jomini,
But not a single word of vodka.[56]
D. Davuidof.
At the very beginning of this century, when there were no railways, no macadamized roads, no gas or stearine candles, no low and springy sofas, no unvarnished furniture, no disillusionized young men with eye-glasses, no women philosophers of liberal tendencies, no dear Camilles, such as our time has produced in abundance; in those naïve days when travelers made the journey from Moscow to Petersburg by stage or carriage, and took with them a whole kitchen of domestic preparations, and traveled for a week, night and day, over soft roads, muddy or dusty as the case might be, pinned their faith to Pozharsky cutlets, Valdaï bluebells, and pretzels; when during the long autumn evenings tallow candles burned till they had to be snuffed, and cast their rays on family circles of twenty or thirty people (at balls, wax or spermaceti candles were set up in candelabra); when furniture [191]was placed with stiff precision; when our fathers were still young, not merely by the absence of wrinkles and gray hair, but fought duels for women, and were fain to rush from one end of a room to the other to pick up a handkerchief dropped accidentally or otherwise, and our mothers wore short waists and huge sleeves, and decided family affairs by the drawing of lots; when charming Camilles avoided the light of day; in the naïve period of Masonic lodges, of Martinists, and of the Tugendbund; at the time of the Miloradovitches, Davuidofs, and Pushkins,—a meeting of landed proprietors took place in the governmental city of K., and the election of the college of nobles was drawing to a close.[192]
"Well, all right, it's all the same, be it in the hall," said a young officer dressed in a shuba, and wearing a hussar's helmet, as he dismounted from a traveling sledge in front of the best hotel of the city of K.
"A great meeting, little father, your excellency,—a tremendous crowd," said the hall-boy, who had already learned from the officer's man that it was Count Turbin, and therefore honored him with the address of "your excellency." "Madame Afrimova and her daughters have expressed the intention of going away this evening; you can be accommodated with their room as soon as it is vacated,—No. 11," the hall-boy went on to say, noiselessly showing the count the way, and constantly turning round to look at him.
In the sitting-room, at a small table under a blackened full-length portrait of the Emperor Alexander, sat a number of men, evidently belonging to the local aristocracy, drinking champagne; and on one side were some traveling merchants in blue shubas.
The count entered the room, and calling Blücher, a huge gray boarhound that accompanied him, he threw off his cloak, the collar of which was covered with frost, and, after ordering vodka, sat down at the table in a short blue-satin jacket, and entered into conversation with the gentlemen sitting there. The latter, attracted toward the new-comer by his handsome and frank exterior, offered him a glass of champagne.[193]
The count had begun to drink his glass of vodka; but now he also ordered a bottle of champagne, in order to return the courtesy of his new companions.
The driver came in to ask for vodka-money.
"Sashka,"[57] cried the count, "give it to him."
The driver went out with Sashka, but quickly returned, holding the money in his hands.
"What! little father, 'slency, is that right? I did my best for you. You promised me a half-ruble, and you have only given me a quarter!"
"Sashka, give him a ruble."
Sashka, hanging down his head, gazed at the driver's feet.
"He will have enough," said he in his deep voice. "Besides, I haven't any more money."
The count drew from his pocket-book the two solitary blue notes[58] which were in it, and gave one to the driver, who kissed his hand, and went off. "I have come to the end," said the count, "my last five rubles."
"True hussar style, count," said one of the nobles, whose mustaches, voice, and a certain energetic freedom in the use of his legs, proclaimed him, beyond a peradventure, to be a retired cavalryman. "Are you going to spend some time here, count?"
"I must have some money if I stay, otherwise I should not be very likely to. Besides, there are no spare rooms, the Devil take it, in this cursed tavern."
"I beg of you, count," pursued the cavalryman, "wouldn't you like to come in with me? My room is No. 7. If you wouldn't object to sleep there for the present. We shall be here three days at least. [194]To-day I was at the marshal's: how glad he would be to see you!"
"That's right, count, stay with us," urged another of the table companions, a handsome young man. "What is your hurry? And besides, this happens only once in three years,—these elections. We might get a glimpse of some of our girls, count!"
"Sashka, get me some clean linen. I am going to have a bath," said the count, rising. "And then we will see; perhaps I may decide to pay my respects to the marshal."
Then he called the waiter, and said something to him in an undertone. The waiter replied, with a laugh, "That is within human possibility," and went out.
"Well, then, little father, I have given orders to have my trunk taken to your room," cried the count, as he went out of the door.
"I shall consider it a favor: it delights me," replied the cavalryman as he hastened to the door, and cried, "No.7; don't forget!"
When the count was out of hearing, the cavalryman returned to his place, and drawing his chair nearer to the chinovnik, and looking him straight in his smiling eyes, said,—
"Well, he's the very one."
"What one?"
"I tell you that he's that very same hussar duelist,—let me see, the famous Turbin. He knew me. I'll wager he knew me. I assure you, at Lebedyan he and I were on a spree for three weeks, and were never sober once. That was when I lost my remount. There was one little affair at that time,—we were engaged in it together. Ah, he is a gay lad! isn't he, though?"[195]
"Indeed he is. What pleasant manners he has! There's no fault to be found with him," replied the handsome young man. "How quickly we became acquainted!... He isn't more than twenty-two, is he?"
"He certainly would not seem so, would he?... But he's really more than that. Well, now you want to know who he is, don't you? Who carried off Megunova? He did. He killed Sablin. He kicked Matnyef out of the window. He 'did' Prince Nesterof out of three hundred thousand rubles. He's a regular madcap. You ought to know him,—a gambler, duelist, seducer, but a whole-souled fellow, a genuine hussar. We got talked about a good deal, but if any one really understood what it meant to be a genuine hussar! Those were great times."
And the cavalryman began to tell his comrade of a drinking-bout with the count, which had never taken place, nor could have taken place. It could not have taken place, first, because he had never seen the count before, and had retired from the service two years before the count had entered it; and secondly, because this cavalryman had never served in the cavalry, but had served four years as a very insignificant yunker in the Bielevsky regiment; and just as soon as he was promoted to be ensign, he retired.
But ten years before he had received an inheritance, and actually went to Lebedyan; and there he spent seven hundred rubles with the cavalry officers, and had had made for him an uhlan's uniform with orange lapels, with the intention of entering the uhlans. His thought of entering the cavalry, and his three weeks spent with the officers at Lebedyan, made the very happiest and most brilliant period of his life; so that he began to[196] transfer his thought into a reality. Then, as he added remembrance to it, he began actually to believe in his military past,—which did not prevent him from being a worthy man through his kindness of heart and uprightness.
"Yes, any one who has never served in the cavalry," he went on to say, "will never understand us fellows."
He sat astride of his chair, and, thrusting out his lower lip, went on in a deep voice, "It happens you are riding along in front of the battalion. A devil is under you, not a horse, prancing along; thus you sit on this perfect devil. The battalion commander comes along. 'Lieutenant,' says he, 'I beg of you—your service is absolutely indispensable. You must lead the battalion for the parade.' Very well, and so it goes. You look around, you give a shout, you lead the brave fellows who are under your command. Ah! the deuce take it! 'twas a glorious time!"
The count came back from the bath, all ruddy, and with his hair wet, and went directly to No. 7, where the cavalryman was already sitting in his dressing-gown, with his pipe, and thinking with delight and some little anxiety of the good fortune that had befallen him in sharing his room with the famous Turbin. "Well, now," the thought came into his head, "suppose he should take me, and strip me naked, and carry me outside the town limits, and set me down in the snow, ... or smear me with tar ... or simply ... But, no: he would not do such a thing to a comrade," he said, trying to comfort himself.
"Sashka, give Blücher something to eat," cried the count.
Sashka made his appearance. He had been drinking glasses of vodka ever since his arrival, and was beginning to be genuinely tipsy.[197]
"You have not been able to control yourself. You have been getting drunk, canaillya!... Feed Blücher."
"It won't kill him to fast.... You see, ... he's so plump," replied Sashka, caressing the dog.
"Now, none of your impudence. Go, and feed him."
"All you care for is to have your dog fat; but if a man drinks a little glass, then you pitch into him."
"Hey! I'll strike you," cried the count with a voice that made the window-panes rattle, and even scared the cavalryman somewhat.
"You would better ask if Sashka has had any thing to eat to-day. All right, strike away, if a dog is more to you than a man," continued Sashka.
But at that instant he received such a violent blow of the fist across the face that he staggered, struck his head against the partition, and, clutching his nose, leaped through the door, and threw himself down on a bench in the corridor.
"He has broken my teeth," he growled, wiping his bloody nose with one hand, and with the other scratching Blücher's back, as the dog licked him. "He has broken my teeth, Blüchka; and yet he is my count, and I would jump into the fire for him, that's a fact. Because he's my count, do you understand, Blüchka? And do you want something to eat?"
After lying there a while, he got up, gave the dog his dinner, and, almost sobered, went to serve his master, and get him his tea.
"You would simply offend me," said the cavalryman timidly, standing in front of the count, who was lying on the bed with his feet propped against the partition. "Now, you see, I am an old soldier and[198] comrade, I may say; instead of letting you borrow of any one else, it would give me great pleasure to let you have two hundred rubles. I haven't them with me now,—only a hundred,—but I can get the rest to-day; don't refuse, you would simply offend me, count!"
"Thanks, little father," said Turbin, instantly perceiving what sort of relationship would exist between them, and slapping the cavalryman on the shoulder. "Thanks. Well, then, we'll go to the ball if you say so. But now what shall we do? Tell me whom you have in your city: any pretty girls? anybody ready for a spree? Who plays cards?"
The cavalryman explained that there would be a crowd of pretty girls at the ball; that the police commissioner,[59] Kolkof, who had just been reelected, was the greatest hand for sprees, only he lacked the spirit of a genuine hussar, but still was a first-rate fellow; that Ilyushka's chorus of gypsies had been singing at K. ever since the elections began; that Stioshka[60] was the soloist, and that after the marshal's reception everybody went there nowadays. And the stakes were pretty high. "Lukhnof, a visitor here," he said, "is sweeping in the money; and Ilyin, a cornet of uhlans, who rooms in No. 8, has already lost a pile. The game has already begun there. They play there every evening; and he's a wonderfully fine young fellow, I tell you, count, this Ilyin is. There's nothing mean about him—he'd give you his last shirt."
"Then let us go to his room. We will see what sort of men you have," said the count.
"Come on! come on! they will be mighty glad."

How Selena Gomez became a fashion icon
The 21-year-old singer's look is her trademark.
While the fashion industry has long been a haven for the glamorous and the glamourous, the singer's style has been gaining traction among the younger generation.
Selena has become a fashion brand in her own right, and she has helped to bring a certain kind of elegance to the fashion world.
The fashion icon with the best hairstyle and a penchant for accessories The fashion industry in 2017 saw a huge rise in the popularity of fashion models.
The industry, which was traditionally dominated by models with black hair, made it easier for people to find models of different ethnicities and different skin tones, such as the fashion models of the 90s, as well as the models of other ethnicities, like the model of the 1960s, according to a 2017 report from The Atlantic.
It also made it more convenient to find fashion models with the right body type, the same way that Instagram, Pinterest, and other social media sites allowed people to browse and compare models, as seen in the following graphic.
This is where Selena comes in.
In 2017, the pop singer Selena got a big rise in popularity when she was featured in the fashion show Fashion Week 2018.
The show was held in New York City on February 22 and 23, and the event was attended by over 600 people.
While many celebrities took part, the majority of them were models.
Selenas hair was the focus of attention, as her hair is very voluminous.
In 2018, the fashion shows trend started to pick up in New Zealand and the UK.
While some brands were able to pull their models, others were unable to pull in the crowds.
Many of the models were still from the past, and many of them had their hair dyed, according the Fashion Week website.
Fashion Week is the second year that Selena is going to be featured in New South Wales.
In 2019, the New South's Fashion Week has been moved to Melbourne, Australia, after the singer left her home country for the US, according a press release from the New Zealand Fashion Week.
"New Zealand has a long tradition of working with fashion designers to promote and promote fashion in New England and New Zealand," said a spokesperson for New Zealand's Fashion Weeks, which were set to be held on February 26-27.
The spokesperson said that while the fashion season in New New Zealand was set to start on February 19, there were "issues with the scheduling of the New New Year festival."
The New Zealand Festival is a major fashion festival in New Zeland, which is also a tourist destination.
"We had a problem with the New Year's festival," a spokesperson said.
"In New Zealand, we have strict guidelines to ensure the safety of our tourists and staff and that's what we had to do, she said.
In New Zealand "It was not a problem that was resolved overnight.
We have had people calling us in Australia and asking for help, and some of the people that were working in the hotel where we were staying and the hotels that were being booked at the time, they all had to move their people," said the spokesperson.
Selens hair was dyed in 2016, but it was not the first time. "
The brand struggled because of the controversy that we have been in over the last couple of years, and also the way that we had the brand," she said in an interview with Vogue in 2018.
Selens hair was dyed in 2016, but it was not the first time.
In February of last year, Selena was caught in a controversy when she dyed her hair red in an attempt to cover up her bald spot, and then tweeted about it, the press release said.
Selene also dyed her eyebrows red in 2016 in a bid to make herself look more popular.
"I was really proud of it, and people wanted to see my hair," she told Vogue.
"My hair is the best thing I've ever had.
But also it was just a lot of stress, and I felt like I had to take care of my hair."
It was not just her hair that she was trying to hide, as Selena's fashion lines are also controversial.
Selana has a lot to answer for In 2018 the singer said she had not paid her share of taxes for a number of years.
However, Selen was not able to release a statement to the media, so the New York Times asked Selena to do so.
"When I look back on that whole situation and I look at the years that I haven't paid tax and I have been unable to pay taxes, I feel so embarrassed and ashamed," she replied in a statement.
While Selena and her clothing line"
And I will be doing everything I can to pay that."

Grading the outside linebacker addition in the 2022 recruiting class
Dillon Graff
December 27, 2021, 7:00 AM ·3 min read
The Wisconsin Badgers signed 14 scholarship players during the early signing period of the 2022 recruiting cycle.
And while it's possible that number could still change, Wisconsin's class currently ranks 44th in the country, and 11th in the Big Ten – with an average recruiting ranking of (0.87), per 247 sports.
In part eight of a position by position recruiting evaluation series, I will be handing out grades for each position from the early signing period.
So, without further ado, I evaluate the outside linebacker addition.
OUTSIDE LINEBACKER: B+
Commits: (1) Isaac Hamm
An argument could be made that outside linebacker is one of the deepest position groups in the entire program. So, Wisconsin was in position to be picky, and only take someone the program felt had a chance to be a difference maker at the position.
Wisconsin had to wait a while for the Sun Prairie, Wisconsin native to commit, but they finally locked Isaac Hamm in to their 2022 class.
Isaac Hamm is a four-star recruit per 247, and totaled 73 tackles, 18 tackles for loss and nine sacks as a senior – despite playing with a labrum tear in each shoulder.
Accolades: Named the Large School Defensive Player of the Year, Won the Tim Krumrie Award, given to the top defensive lineman in Wisconsin, WFCA first-team selection as a junior and senior.
Isaac Hamm played defensive end at Sun Prairie, but Wisconsin see's him as an OLB in their defensive front. Hamm possesses some of the same qualities that TJ Bollers had, making him a versatile option as a pass-rusher or hand in the dirt defensive lineman.
Hamm is someone that already has great size and strength coming out of high school, while also having a frame that allows him to put on more weight if need be. The thing that stands out most about Hamm's game is the way he explodes getting off the ball and shows good bend for a potential edge rusher.
We've been waitin' for this one! HE'S A BADGER! @Isaachamm24 is in the game – Welcome to the Wisconsin family! pic.twitter.com/KPOer28WZA
— Wisconsin Football (@BadgerFootball) December 16, 2021
There are many unknowns about Hamm's ability in coverage or even how he plays in space, but with the talent ahead of him, he'll have plenty of time to refine his game. What I can tell you is that he has impressive physical traits for a player his size – all the tools are there for him to be a potential impact player for Jim Leonhard regardless of what position he ends up playing.
This is a big win for Wisconsin for several reasons: they picked up an impact pass-rushing prospect to add to an already deep room, and kept a premium in-state player home despite an impressive offer list.
Wisconsin has elevated their recruiting of the outside linebacker position, and the on-field success is assuredly a reason why. The arrow of this position group continues to point up.

Your attitude to something is the way you think and feel about it.
My attitude to life in general comes from my mother. ...negative attitudes to work.
This is particularly true of the critical relationship between attitude and behaviour.
The best way to change attitudes across generations is to reach out to young minds which are more easily engaged and open to positive images of diversity.
The difference is the attitude of the people in it and the story they tell themselves.
There are very negative attitudes shown by some people.
We now want to change those attitudes.
Your premium will be set according to an individual underwriter's attitude to stoves.
But it seems there is a major problem with his attitude.
He is punctual, he has a good attitude and people like him.
Their attitude from day one has been like that.
They showed the right attitude and right way to play a game that was emotionally charged beforehand.
This can change attitudes inside and outside the sport.
What was more shocking was the fact it was an aggressive attitude in front of the camera.
My attitude about that is the same as the attitude about my parents.
The attitude of mind involves the willingness to look at things in different ways.
This attitude strikes me as a tad limiting.
Those changes in attitude meant this day could come.
Almost half said that the most important quality they looked for in a young person was their attitude.
It concluded that the polls may be using samples that differ in terms of the social attitudes of the individuals being polled.
She said her project could change attitudes over the long term.
The general attitude is to live and let live.
The negative attitude was leading to jams that caused motorists to lose money on wasted fuel.
Their aim was to unleash m havoc on polite society with their provocative clothes and aggressive attitude.
Using the law changed attitudes to drink driving.
Yet some people who have had their passport go missing say the Passport Office shows a cavalier attitude to the problem.
You have the clear mind and tenacious attitude that help you get good prices.
You have the right attitude about your future and work.
Chief executives agreed with him that 50p is emblematic of an attitude that is hostile to wealth creators.
They also dropped people for questionable behaviour or unconventional attitude.
We explored what actions would keep from hardening attitudes or making people fearful.
The difference is one of attitude to keeping such matters out of sight.
This means that a particular attitude in a person 's mind has to change.
My attitude to life in general comes from my mother.

Liberty of London's Tana Lawn is possibly the most luxurious and silky cotton fabric available in the world today. Its exquisitely-detailed prints and rich colour are a joy to look at, to touch, and especially to wear. I've searched through hundreds of gorgeous Liberty prints to make you a collection of simple short-sleeved tops using the most beautiful prints I could find. My hope is that you will enjoy the comfort and beauty of these fabrics, and wear them with ease year-round. Even though the fabric is expensive and 'precious,' it is very durable and washes beautifully. Each top is individually sewn with special care, so they may take a few days to ship.

Main > Fairy tale > All authors > Astrid Lindgren > Fairy tale "Pippi Longstocking"
Annika didn't like to have a horse so near her and drew back in her chair as far as she could, but Pippi leaned forward and took the horse's right foot in her hands.
"Hello, there," she said, "my horse sent you his best wishes. It's his birthday today too, but he has bows on his tail instead of on his head."
Luckily she dropped the foot before the ringmaster cracked his whip again, because then all the horses jumped away from the railing and began to run around the ring.
When the act was over, the ringmaster bowed politely and the horses ran out. In an instant the curtain opened again for a coal-black horse. On its back stood a beautiful lady dressed in green silk tights. The program said her name was Miss Carmencita.
The horse trotted around in the sawdust, and Miss Carmencita stood calmly on his back and smiled. But then something happened; just as the horse passed Pippi's seat, something came swishing through the air—and it was none other than Pippi herself. And there she stood on the horse's back, behind Miss Carmencita. At first Miss Carmencita was so astonished that she nearly fell off the horse. Then she got mad. She began to strike out with her hands behind her back to make Pippi jump off. But that didn't work.
"Take it easy," said Pippi. "Do you think you're the only one who can have any fun? Other people have paid too, haven't they?"
Then Miss Carmencita tried to jump off herself, but that didn't work either, because Pippi was holding her tightly around the waist. At that the audience couldn't help laughing. They thought it was funny to see the lovely Miss Carmencita held against her will by a little red-headed youngster who stood there on the horse's back in her enormous shoes and looked as if she had never done anything except perform in a circus.
But the ringmaster didn't laugh. He turned toward an attendant in a red uniform and made a sign to him to go and stop the horse.
"Is this act already over," asked Pippi in a disappointed tone, "just when we were having so much fun?

Soviets boycott United Nations Security Council
For the second time in a week, Jacob Malik, the Soviet representative to the United Nations, storms out of a meeting of the Security Council, this time in reaction to the defeat of his proposal to expel the Nationalist Chinese representative. At the same time, he announced the Soviet Union's intention to boycott further Security Council meetings.
Several days before the January 13 meeting, Malik walked out to show his displeasure over the United Nations' refusal to unseat the Nationalist Chinese delegation. The Soviet Union had recognized the communist People's Republic of China (PRC) as the true Chinese government, and wanted the PRC to replace the Nationalist Chinese delegation at the United Nations.
Malik returned on January 13, however, to vote on the Soviet resolution to expel Nationalist China. Six countries–the United States, Nationalist China, Cuba, Ecuador, Cuba, and Egypt–voted against the resolution, and three–the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, and India–voted in favor of it. Malik immediately left the meeting, declaring that the United States was "encouraging lawlessness" by refusing to recognize the "illegal presence" of the Nationalist Chinese representatives. He concluded that "even the most convinced reactionaries" had to recognize the justness of the Soviet resolution, and he vowed that the Soviet Union would not be bound by any decisions made by the Security Council if the Nationalist Chinese representative remained. Hoping to forestall any future Security Council action, Malik announced that the Soviet Union would no longer attend its meetings. The remaining members of the Security Council decided to carry on despite the Soviet boycott.
In late June 1950, it became apparent that the Soviet action had backfired when the issue of North Korea's invasion of South Korea was brought before the Security Council. By June 27, the Security Council voted to invoke military action by the United Nations for the first time in the organization's history. The Soviets could have blocked the action in the Security Council, since the United States, Soviet Union, China, Britain, and France each had absolute veto power, but no Russian delegate was present. In just a short time, a multinational U.N. force arrived in South Korea and the grueling three-year Korean War was underway.

De SS-Ehrenring ("Erering van de SS"), officieus ook wel de Totenkopfring ("Totenkopfring der SS") genoemd, was een onderscheiding van Heinrich Himmlers Schutzstaffel (SS). Het was geen staatsdecoratie, maar een persoonlijke gift verleend door Himmler. De Ehrendegen des Reichsführers-SS was een vergelijkbare onderscheiding.

Onderscheiding
De ring werd aanvankelijk geschonken aan de oudere officieren van de "Oude Garde" (waar er minder dan 5000 van waren), aan hen die buitengewone moed en leiderschapsvaardigheden hadden getoond in een strijd. Een aanvullende voorwaarde was een schoon disciplinair dossier. Een daaropvolgende smet zou vereisen dat de drager de ring moest retourneren. Disciplinaire vraagstukken buiten beschouwing gelaten was de ring in 1939 voor iedere officier verkrijgbaar die drie jaar in de SS gediend had. In de Tweede Wereldoorlog was het praktisch de gehele SS-leiding, inclusief de Waffen-SS en Gestapo, die de ring had.

Himmler verplichtte de SS-officieren om de ring 'altijd' aan de ringvinger van de linkerhand te dragen.

De productie van de ring, door Gahr & Co. uit München, werd op 17 oktober 1944 gestaakt door de toenemende economische belasting van de laatste fase van de oorlog. De ringen werden gemaakt door een pers en daarna door een ontwerp-matrix. Een doodshoofd werd gegoten en er later op gesoldeerd met de naam van de ontvanger, de onderscheidingsdatum, en Himmlers handtekening gegraveerd aan de binnenzijde van elke ring.

De ontvanger kreeg een standaardbrief van Himmler met een omschrijving van de betekenis van de ring. De naam van de ontvanger en de bevestigde datum werden aan de brief toegevoegd. In de brief schreef Himmler dat de ring een "aanmaning is om te allen tijde bereid zijn om het eigen leven in te zetten voor het leven van het geheel".

Himmler gaf het bevel om in 1938 alle ringen van omgekomen SS manschappen en officieren terug te halen en deze op te slaan in een kist in het kasteel Wewelsburg. Dit was bedoeld om het voortdurende lidmaatschap van de overledene van de SS-orde te symboliseren. De verblijfplaats van ongeveer 11.500 ringen na de Tweede Wereldoorlog is onbekend, maar vermoed wordt dat ze begraven zijn toen een lokale berg is opgeblazen om zo de ingang van de grot af te sluiten.

Ontwerp

Het ontwerp van de ring weerspiegelt Himmlers interesse in de Duitse mystiek. Ze werden ontworpen door SS-Gruppenführer Karl Maria Wiligut.

De ring laat zien een doodshoofd met gekruiste botten, kruisend achter het doodshoofd - het SS symbool - op zijn bovenkant. Het doodshoofd (of Totenkopf) was het traditioneel symbool van de SS, genomen van de andere Duitse en Pruisische militaire eenheden uit het verleden.

De betekenis van het doodshoofd wordt beschreven in Himmlers begeleidende brief: "Het doodshoofd is een aansporing om voorbereid te zijn om op elk moment het leven van onze eigen ik te riskeren voor het leven van de entiteit"

Armanenrunen verschijnen prominent op de ring.

 Een Sig runen links en rechts van het doodshoofd omlijst door een triangel symboliserend de kracht van de zon, en de overwinnende energie.

 Een Hagal runen (omlijst door een regelmatige zeshoek) symboliseert het geloof en kameraadschap dat geïdealiseerd werd door de leiders van de organisatie. De esoterisch betekenis van het Hagal rune volgens Guido von List: "Omsluit het universum in u en u controleert het universum".

 Een hakenkruis (staand op een punt) omlijst door een vierkant. De SS hielden ervan het hakenkruis af te schilderen als een invloedrijk symbool van de kracht van het Arische ras.

 De dubbele runen aan de achterkant van de ring omlijst door een cirkel waar  het Heilszeichen (letterlijk: signalen van verlossing) van het verleden. Deze waren eerder een creatie van de SS ontwerpers, dan historische runen. Er zijn "gibor" rune plus een bind runen voor een "o" en "t". De bind runen was ontworpen door Wiligut, en wordt gespeld als "Got" het oude Duitse woord voor god.

De ring is omkranst met eikenbladeren.

Aan de binnenkant van de ring is gegraveerd S en L voor "Seinem Lieben" dan de achternaam (alleen - geen initialen) van de drager, datum van de schenking en een facsimile van Himmlers handtekening. Ontvangers ontvingen ook een speciaal ontworpen met SS runen gedecoreerde doos voor opslag en vervoer.

 Leden van alle rangen die onderscheiden waren met het Gouden Ereteken van de NSDAP;
 Leden van alle rangen die onderscheiden waren met het Coburg-insigne;
 Officieren en onderofficieren die lid waren van de NSDAP en politie vóór 30 januari 1933;
 Officieren die in het Sudetenland woonde, en voor 31 december 1938 SS-lid waren, mits ze minimaal twee jaar officier waren.
 Officieren die vóór de Anschluss in Oostenrijk woonde, en in die tijd lid waren van de verboden Oostenrijkse SS, op voorwaarde dat ze al minstens twee jaar officier waren.
 Officieren die in Memelland woonde, en vóór 1 juni 1939 SS-lid waren, mits ze minimaal twee jaar officier waren.
 Leden van enige rang dan ook die niet aan een van de bovenstaande criteria voldeden, maar door de Reichsführer-SS werden geclassificeerd als "speciale gevallen". Deze categorie kon bestaan uit ere-ambtenaren of SS'ers die bijzonder zware taken hadden uitgevoerd.

Naoorlogse nazi tijdperk

De toekomstige uitreikingen van de ring werden in 1944 gestopt. Himmler gaf het bevel dat de overgebleven ringen na begraving door middel van opblazing verzegeld moesten worden in een heuvel nabij het kasteel Wewelsburg. Hun huidige locatie is onbekend.

Alle ringen moesten geretourneerd worden naar Himmler, als de ringdrager komt te overlijden of de SS verlaat,  wordt de ring in Wewelsburg gehouden als een soort van individuele gedenkteken aan de houder. Wanneer een ringdrager sneuvelt op het slagveld, moeten zijn kameraden alle moeite doen om de ring terug te krijgen of te voorkomen dat deze in vijandelijke handen zou kunnen vallen. Nabij januari 1945, was 64% van de 14.500 ringen geretourneerd naar Himmler. Na het einde van de oorlog, werden vele ringen ook (op instructie's van Himmler) met de mannen begraven die ermee onderscheiden waren.

Bij benadering bestaan er vandaag de dag nog zo'n 3.500 ringen. Het is daarom een erg schaars verzamelobject. Kopieën en namaak komen veelvuldig voor. Het is vooral erg moeilijk om de echtheid te verifiëren vooral de exemplaren die de naam dragen van "Müller" en "Maier" (twee meest voorkomende Duitse achternamen).

Lots of things are happening with the creation of this latest book. I want to share my progress with you.
Before you dash off your "I'm totally interested in this job!" email to a client, plan out how you want your first impression to play out.
Southwest airlines and their abysmal customer service has a silver lining in a new Fiverr gig.
If you haven't been in the loop, this past Sunday, my Mother and I experienced a horrible experience at the hands of Southwest Airlines. I've tried three times to contact Southwest and resolve my issue but the only way I can mange to get in touch with them is via a five (yes- FIVE!) page letter addressed to Southwest Airlines chairman and The VP of Customer service.
As a freelancer, I live and die by how much work I can possibly squeeze into an hour. I've been extremely upset since this absurd saga began at 10 am Sunday June 8th. I was worried about how much work I was losing while trying to contact Southwest. I needn't have worried, as it turns out, because I've managed to find a way to make up for all of the lost time and income.
I've sold articles to consumer and business magazines already addressing topics including customer service standards, brand dilution, and how Southwest's repeated errors can help small businesses and creative entrepreneurs. At the suggestion of a fellow freelancer, I've decided today to add ghost writer to my menu of freelance writing services.
As a Beta test, I'm going to start with a Fiverr gig for ghost letter writing services for consumer complaints to see how much real interest I can generate. The gig won't be live on Fiverr for another 24 hours or so. For now, you can check my profile on Fiverr.
Yes, I've been a vocal critic of writers who try to build their entire career on Fiverr as unrealistic and a quick way to the poor house. Since this service is purely consumer-driven, I'm trying to market my services where I think potential customers would be.
When or if this new business venture crashes and burns, of course I'll post about it. Then I'll create some Udemy courses and e-Books chronicling my mistakes.


There should be a core framework for retrieving, reading and interacting with math content. Since the common output format across applications that can render math seems to be MathML, we will use MathML markup for this framework. We haven't settled on a single library for speech output, braille output and interaction yet, and given that math accessibility is still very much a developing landscape, it's likely that there will be more projects going forward. Therefore, this should be pluggable, though we hope to bundle at least a basic implementation.
I've started on this, using my work on MathPlayer 2014 support as a base. I'll hopefully push a branch soon.
But, what kind of Math content will NVDA begin supporting better?
At this stage, native MathML in Firefox, Internet Explorer and Adobe Reader (though MathML in PDF isn't part of the standard yet), as well as MathType objects in Microsoft Word and PowerPoint.
Interesting, there were people on a list who recently asked for someting like this on seeing the improved Math support in JAWS 16.
Interestingly, I didn't actually know about the math support in JAWS 16 until after I started this. I only read about the JAWS 16 math announcement today.
This creates real competition between NVDA & JAWS, in terms of Math support.
Filed GoogleIssue:chromium:426650 to hopefully get Chrome to expose what we need for this to work in Chrome.
Using MathPlayer 4 from Design Science, NVDA can now read and interactively navigate mathematical content in web browsers and in Microsoft Word and PowerPoint.

Nicola Cairncross and Judith Morgan talk to Charlotte Davies about SEO strategies for small businesses to help attract free website traffic.
There's been a heatwave in the UK but it is wet in Stoupa and it is cardigans at the ready there, most unusually, although apparently, it happened on exactly the same dates last year too. Nicola's children arrive this weekend with their cousins and the awesome foursome are moving in almost next door. Nicola's local friends have also lent her a car for 2 months as they return home during the hot months. Judith waxes lyrical about the full moon. Summertime and the livin' is easy.
Nicola's still excited about IGTV, vertical video on Instagram, and Judith's got lots to share in this section from a testimonial which made both her and her client cry, to fixing tech glitches, setting up a low-carb affiliate, referrals, book sales, newsletter opt-ins etc., all the result of support from nice clients and FB friends.
Nicola and Judith talk SEO strategies for small business with expert Charlotte Davies.
Judith picks Chill and Nicola chooses Wet.
Own It! continues to do well with podcast download numbers now exceeding 84,000.
Nicola has found two TED Talks inspiring, one by Bill Gross and the other by Curtis "Wall Street" Carrol who learned how to read and then how to trade stocks when in prison. Judith is happy that so many clients and FB friends use Messenger to send thoughts and links about things they think she might enjoy. She's happy to know she's in their thoughts as much as vice versa.


Acknowledge that educational rigor has no place in early finding out. Naming letters and numbers is superficial as compared with the larger image of encouraging creativity, creativeness, downside solving, crucial contemplating, emotional intelligence, social experience, and self-regulation.
Many firefighters, nonetheless, by no means benefit from the $10,000 to $eighty,000+ profit accessible to them. This is a fantastic Hub. Simply to be educated doesn't make a complete person. It takes loads as you mentioned. If you do not need that to be you, use your time and money to study a marketable skill after which spend the remainder of your life perfecting it fairly than throwing a ton of money into a stage.
A criminologist is a sociologist or social scientist who 1) focuses on criminology and a few) analysis social behaviors. Every society has its personal set of norms and deviations and these people take a look at the norms (most typical behaviors) and the deviations from these norms of habits.
I hope you find it as an fascinating read.
Beneath are two articles of curiosity printed in American newspapers throughout the Victorian Period. The 33 credit of grasp's diploma coursework need to be achieved in the course of the student's 10-month internship. Tuition will not be paid for credits completed exterior of this timeframe.
I only highlight these functions on account of a full blown MFA in ingenious writing might not be for everyone. It takes serious time and dedication and some people is also pleased with a program like Simon Fraser's Writers Studio instead. Lastly, some people simply haven't got the cash and taking over student debt for any degree (other than possibly medication) is a really harmful business currently. In that case, the MSc from the School of Edinburgh is likely to be on par with an MFA and be something that you possibly can afford out of pocket additional simply. Finally, the choice is yours. I hope these ideas merely present meals for thought – or, um, writing.
That could be a extremely good motivation letter.
Whenever you've acquired any questions on Flag, please be at liberty to ask them in the feedback half, and I'll do my most interesting to get you the reply.

These setting the educational agenda within the current day see preschool as nothing larger than the primary yr of schooling—a time to arrange for kindergarten. They think about it's a interval when children ought to be taught abilities which will serve them effectively in their educational future: sitting quietly whereas listening to a story, learning letter sounds to allow them to learn, writing letters to permit them to make phrases, and recognizing numbers to permit them to do math. They reject the notion that preschool is a unique expertise unto itself that ought to contain lively studying, exploration, play, cooperation, and sensory experiences.
SUU affords a 36 credit rating hour Grasp of Education Diploma with 24 core required credits and 12 graduate degree elective credit. Glorious job in your comparability. I'm almost finished with an internet-based program myself and it may really positively be rewarding however definitely requires quite a lot of self-self-discipline as talked about.


If John Keil was to recommend a brand-new functional diver's watch to a friend who was looking to spend within a certain price range, these would be his suggestions. Or, more specifically, here is what he would purchase himself in a variety of price categories.
Since Baselworld 2018, Rolex has subtly been revisiting its 36 mm Datejust models. The two stainless steel/white gold models revealed at Baselworld 2019 were the last of these, and Saad Chaudhry is pleased to now delve into the new and improved details of this important modern wristwatch.
The Two-Minute Tourbillon by Jean Daniel Nicolas is a watch that changed Ian Skellern's life. Read how right here!
It is no secret that Grammy-winning singer and songwriter Ed Sheeran is watch collector with a collection that features many heavy-hitting modern timepieces from Patek Philippe and Richard Mille. Nick Gould recently spotted Sheeran wearing a vintage Patek Philippe Ref. 1518 perpetual calendar chronograph on the Instagram page of his head security guard, Kevin Myers.
Today many premium watch brands look for that certain "extra element" to get ahead of the competition, and one hot item now is straps. If it is true that shoes make the man, then the strap must make the watch. Jan Lidmaňský shares a selection of interesting partnerships between the worlds of watches and leather.
Henschke Hill of Grace 2014 & Mount Edelstone 2015: Is A Wine Three Or Four Times The Price Three Or Four Times As Good?
A question often asked is whether a wine three or four times the price of another can be three or four times as good. In reality, people pay high prices for special wines for all manner of reason, so that is very rarely the case. And for Ken Gargett, in the case of the Henschke Hill of Grace 2014 & Henschke Mount Edelstone 2015 definitely not.

The Seiko Credor GXBE998 pocket watch's "secret" is an engraving that celebrates life. The brand's artists honor Credor's 45th anniversary with something truly unique: a three-dimensional hand-engraving of the tree of life, which is a significant concept in both the Shinto and Buddhist religions.
From the public's perspective, Rolex's surge into its movement revolution began with the now anachronistic-sounding Basel 2000 World Watch, Clock, and Jewelry Show. But the evidence of a long-term engineering campaign was mounting at the patent office and in the dealers' showrooms as this article by Tim Mosso highlights.
Kari Voutilainen listened to his fans and created a watch that fulfills the oft-repeated desire "I almost want to wear the watch backwards because that movement is so beautiful!" The inverted 28ti does just that.
Here at Quill & Pad we are quite smitten by Romain Gauthier's award-winning Logical One. But one thing that often gets glossed over somewhat is the subject of one of this watch's four patents: the incredible high-precision chain made of synthetic ruby links. Combined with the snail cam, it is this element that provides the ingenious movement with constant force.

An Incomplete List of Jeff Bezos's Recent Recos
He's been reading a lot of articles lately and sharing his favorite ones with his community
GLENN CHAPMAN/AFP/Getty Images
ALIVE BOY
Jeff Bezos has been more online of late, with a particular inclination towards sharing news content from around the web. For example, last night he tweeted about a recent article in Vanity Fair titled, "Inside the New Right, Where Peter Thiel Is Placing His Biggest Bets."
The piece chronicles the rise of yet another "New Right," which somewhat resembles the previous new right, in that one of its main characters, the neo-reactionary writer Curtis Yarvin aka Mencius Moldbug, is best known for running a blog from 2007 to 2014, and another one is a billionaire Republican donor who bankrupted this blog six years ago. Here's what Bezos thought about it:
Great reco from Jeff. I also found the piece fascinating, especially the detail that Yarvin got engaged to an "activist in the BDSM scene." But enough about that. What else has Jeff reco'd recently?
Recently, Jonathan Haidt wrote an article for The Atlantic called "Why The Past 10 Years Of American Life Have Been Uniquely Stupid," which inadvertently proved to be a neat case study in its own premise. The article uses a lengthy analogy between the social media age and the tower of Babel to elucidate such insights as:
When the newly viralized social-media platforms gave everyone a dart gun, it was younger progressive activists who did the most shooting, and they aimed a disproportionate number of their darts at these older liberal leaders. Confused and fearful, the leaders rarely challenged the activists or their nonliberal narrative…The universal charge against people who disagree with this narrative is not "traitor"; it is "racist," "transphobe," "Karen," or some related scarlet letter marking the perpetrator as one who hates or harms a marginalized group. The punishment that feels right for such crimes is not execution; it is public shaming and social death.
On Twitter, Bezos described it as "thoughtful, beautifully written, and important." He also enjoyed this Daily Show clip on a similar theme.
Bari Weiss's Newsletter:
Last week, venture capitalist and Andressen Horowitz partner Katherine Boyle wrote an essay for Bari Weiss's Substack called "The Case For American Seriousness." Bezos liked it enough to retweet a positive review from Y-Combinator founder Paul Graham. Already, some patterns are starting to emerge. We know Bezos is against stupidity and for seriousness. Specifically, seriousness when it comes to technology entrepreneurship, which Boyle describes as "the belief that God or the universe has bestowed upon you an immense task that no one else can accomplish but you."
Van Jones:
Much like Gawker, Van Jones' podcast, Uncommon Ground, was nominated for a Webby this year. Incidentally, it is a production of the Wondery podcasting network, which is owned by Amazon. Bezos tweeted a boost for it last week. Unfortunately, also like Gawker, it did not win.
Two years ago, GeekWire published an exclusive look "Inside Amazon's new 8-floor family homeless shelter attached to its Seattle HQ." This glowing report was, as it happens, underwritten by an Amazon partner. Bezos liked it so much he shared it last week.
A few days before that, Time published another glowing piece, this distinctly uncritical profile of Amazon's new CEO, Andy Jassy. Bezos seemed to have enjoyed it.
Vanity Fair again
What did he recommend before Jassy? He retweeted a different Vanity Fair article in February. The piece promises an exclusive "first official look" at "The Rings of Power," a Lord of the Rings prequel series which is set to air this September on, of all places, Amazon Prime.
The winter was a slow time for Bezos recos. Before the Vanity Fair piece, he hadn't recommended much since last October, when he tweeted a Guardian essay called "How it feels to go into space: 'More beautiful and dazzling and frightening than I ever imagined." It's an impassioned account from a passenger who went to space on a Blue Origin mission, the aerospace company owned by Bezos. Some might quibble with the prepositions in there — is it "into" space, if they technically went to the "edge?" But that's semantics. The important part is that Bezos thought it was moving.
That same month, Bezos tweeted an article from the Washington Post, which he owns, about No Time To Die, the latest and very long installation in the James Bond franchise. Bezos really loved the movie, which makes sense. Five months later, Amazon bought MGM, the massive production company that owns the entire Bond franchise, in a $8.5 billion deal. This month, Amazon announced they planned to put every Bond movie on Prime. Must have been a good movie.
Also in October, Bezos came out in support of Netflix hit series, Squid Game, a thriller about class disparity, in which hundreds of characters, strangled by financial debt, enlist in a series of torturous, highly-surveilled, and frequently fatal competitions to win a $38 million prize. The jackpot grows when players die, which they frequently do in horrific fashion. This did not speak to Bezos so much as Netflix's "internationalization strategy."
It's unclear if he has since watched the show.

Q: ggplot2: Add a stacked bar showing the total distribution The following snippet creates stacked bars showing the distribution of "clarity" by "cut".
data(diamonds)
qplot(cut, data=diamonds, geom="bar", fill=clarity, position="fill")

Another plot shows the total distribution of "clarity" for the entire dataset.
qplot(x=factor(""), data=diamonds, geom="bar", fill=clarity, position="fill")

Is there a way to add the second plot as an extra bar to the first plot, say with label "total"?

A: Many approaches but here's one:
diamonds2 <- diamonds
diamonds2$cut <- "Total"
diamonds3 <- rbind(diamonds, diamonds2)

qplot(cut, data=diamonds3, geom="bar", fill=clarity, position="fill")

Twitching Parts of Katy Perry.
Monday. And I am annoyed again. My work requires me to view quite a bit of fairly unwholesome material and I like to think I have a strong stomach, but occasionally something creeps into popular culture which I find truly offensive. In this case, a piece of military propaganda masquerading as a pop video. I speak not of 'In the Navy' by the Village People. Those were simpler times and even though the song was used on a Navy recruitment ad, it remains more charming by far than the latest offering by Katy Perry.
Despite my Village People reference, I like to keep my finger on the pulse of what's happening in pop culture, and to facilitate this, for a couple of hours a week, I like to take in some media from sources that I would normally completely avoid. This might manifest itself as reading a copy of the Daily Mail, or the Watchtower, or in this case the UK top 20 on Viva.
I knew it was going to be bad, but I didn't realise how bad it would be. I know I'm coming across as a whining old sod, and I should make clear that I have never been able to successfully be around pop music so this is by no means a new feeling for me. I remember watching girls formation dancing to Take That when I was about 10 and thinking "what is this putrid rubbish?" Even at 10 I had recognised that Robbie Williams was a bog-eyed leg fucker, and my opinion has never changed. In more recent times I have been driven into paroxysms of rage by N-Dubz, among others. I still feel that anything which makes you pray for the return of Brian Harvey can only be evil to its rancid core.
So, back to Viva... I should mention that I watched the new Justin Beiber video too, but with the sound down to protect myself as much as possible. It was a weird experience, akin to a pastiche of the Grease Megamix by a troupe of hispanic lesbians. I'm afraid I do think that young Beiber has certain virtues- excellent marketing for one thing. You can't help but admire the team which put Beiber into an episode of CSI to get shot. I think a stunt like that has the potential to please almost everyone on the planet. Fans will like it because they can say Beiber is something more than a dancing fuck puppet, and I enjoyed it because of the shooting. People ask me if I would fuck Beiber, and of course I would, he has a tight young body and the potential to hit some very high notes with the right motivation. He needs an internet sex tape, and I am the man to help.
But I digress... I was here to talk about Katy Perry. The thing which rankles most about this is that I thought Katy was alright. She ditched Russell Brand, which can only be a good thing for the soul, and she was putting out tracks that had some wit and a bit of warmth about them. She seemed like she wasn't taking herself too seriously, and came across as likeable and even fairly sorted. Good for her.
So what the fuck is 'Part of Me' all about? The track itself is a fairly innoffensive little romp and little need be said of it apart from that it contains the refrain "this is the part of me which you'll never gonna ever take away from me" and would appear to be in most respects a standard break-up song. Boy meets girl, boy cheats on girl, girl writes break up song. Fine. However, the narrative of the video is nothing short of a Goebbels level exercise in propaganda by the American Military. Boy meets girl, boy cheats on girl, girl shaves her head and joins the infantry to kill unarmed brown people in unidentified desert locale. Pissed off with your relationship? Why not take it out on these brown fuckers? One can only imagine that the war at home is not going so well if they have to recruit Katy, who would normally not even get conscripted. This, perhaps is a good thing. But not if we have to be subjected to this kind of heavy handed foolishness.
Anybody singing about sticks and stones while dressed in Territorial Army combat fatuiges in a desert deserves to have their twitching parts taken home in a shoe box.

Watch US 'Big Brother' contestants learn that Donald Trump won the election
House guests respond incredulously to the news that Trump managed to defeat Democrat rival Hillary Clinton.
Nick Levine
CBS has shared a clip showing the current crop of US Big Brother contestants reacting to news that Donald Trump has won the Presidential election.
Host Julie Chen tells the house guests before breaking the news: "It's pretty safe to say you are the only six people in the country, maybe the entire world, who do not know who won."
After hearing that Trump managed to defeat Democrat rival Hillary Clinton, one guest says: "What the fuck happened while we were in here?"
Another adds: "Gay people, where were you? Minorities, where were you? Can we just stay in here for the next four years?"
The #BBOTT Houseguests react to the results of the 2016 presidential election. pic.twitter.com/wWd6ZS9HSx
— BBOverTheTop (@BBOverTheTop) November 11, 2016
Meanwhile, the world of music has largely responded in shock and horror to Trump's victory in the election.
Lady Gaga even took to the streets outside Trump Tower in New York City in protest after it emerged that the billionaire businessman had defeated Hillary Clinton.
Robert De Niro has addressed previous comments he made about wanting to punch Trump in the face. "I can't do that now. He's the president and I have to respect that position," he said during an interview on Jimmy Kimmel's US chatshow.
Parks And Recreation favourite Leslie Knope has even written an open letter to Americans in a bid to help them better understand Trump's victory.
