Giovani dos Santos left with a hole in his leg following shocking high challenge
By Luke Karlik
Giovani dos Santos has had an unpredictable career, to say the least.
For a player who less than a decade ago was named by Don Balon as one of the 100 best young talents in the world born after 1989, he's fallen short of the heights many expected he would reach.
Dos Santos made his senior debut for Barcelona in September 2007 before scoring a hat-trick on the final day of the La Liga season.
It was a memorable way to bid farewell in what would prove to be his last appearance for the Catalonians.
Dos Santos then joined Tottenham Hotspur for €6 million, though his time in London was forgettable.

The striker managed 12 goals during a four-year spell between 2008 and 2012, which included loans at Ipswich Town, Galatasaray and Racing Santander.
Perhaps to no surprise, then, dos Santos' attitude was questioned by then Spurs manager Harry Redknapp.
The Mexican finally parted ways with Tottenham to join Mallorca in the summer of 2012.
He didn't set the world alight during his first season back in Spain, but an ensuing switch to Villarreal brought out a more impressive version of him.
Dos Santos netted 17 times across two campaigns at El Madrigal, which despite being the best goalscoring form of his career, resulted in him signing for LA Galaxy come July 2015.
His four years in the United States were largely productive - he earned two MLS All-Star nominations - but the Californian outfit decided not to keep him beyond the end of the last campaign.
Now, dos Santos represents Club America in his native Mexico, where he's scored once in seven matches.
Unfortunately, the 30-year-old probably won't be adding to that tally anytime soon after he suffered a horrific injury against Guadalajara on Saturday.
Dos Santos had beaten opponent Antonio Briseno to a loose ball, yet in doing so, the defender's challenge ending up catching him just above the knee.
But this was no slight knock; one of Briseno's boot studs pierced dos Santos' skin, leaving a nasty hole in his leg.
The culprit was sent off for the offence - and when you see the consequence of his rash challenge, it's no surprise.
Ouch indeed.
Club America fear dos Santos may have suffered a fractured knee, but hopefully further assessment reveals better news for the injury-plagued striker.

Q: Globally change Windows shortcut links Windows 7
My files (250 gigabytes) are in  C:\info
I have an external USB-based hard drive that is permanently mapped as M: drive.
Everything in C:\info is backed up to M:\info.
Within the C:\info file hierarchy I have hundreds of shortcuts in various directories that allow me to open a file in a different directory (within the C:\info hierarchy) without having to navigate to that different directory.
I want to be able to navigate within the M:\info hierarchy, including the
shortcuts, when the USB hard drive is connected to a different computer.
The problem is that all of the shortcuts in the M:\info hierarchy, point to files in the C:\info hierarchy.
I want to write a command file (batch file) that changes all of the shortcuts in M:\info to point to the equivalent file in  M:\info.
If I do this manually it will take a very long time.
I thought that if I can dissect a Windows shortcut file I may be able to write a command file to globally change all of them.
But when I try to edit the Windows shortcut file, with a programmers
editor such as UltraEdit, Windows 7 will not allow me to open the file.
UltraEdit reports "Access Denied". I tried running UltraEdit as Administrator but that did not work.
I have looked at posts here on this site that are either outdated or are for remote files on a LAN/WAN. I downloaded an app which claims to do exactly what I want but it is less than obvious, how to use the program, and the Help file (chm) file is blank.
Is there a way to globally change M:\info Windows shortcut links to point to m:\info rather than c:\info?
Many thanks !

In a culture that primarily values romantic or familial relationships, Big Friendship: How We Keep Each Other Close is a necessary corrective. Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman offer a deeply compelling book that is part clear-eyed and poignant memoir of a big, invaluable friendship and part frank manifesto on how to nurture the important friendships in our lives in good times and bad. In each chapter, Sow and Friedman demonstrate how they navigate the nuances of their long-standing friendship with elegance, warmth, and generosity. This is the kind of book that makes you want to reach out to your best, biggest friends to say thank you, thank you, thank you for walking in this world with me.

Big Friendship is a loving, thoughtful and extremely frank examination of the rich and rocky terrain of women's friendships. It takes as its subject the committed social bonds that sustain and frustrate us as much (or more!) as any of the sexual and familial ties that we've been trained to take more seriously. Here, friendship gets the emotional and intellectual respect it deserves; and like any truly great love story, Ann's and Amina's is a page turner. I love this book. - Rebecca Traister, author of Good and Mad and All the Single Ladies
At its heart, this book is about the power of friendship. In a wonderful and intimate portrayal, Big Friendship shines a light on how being a friend can be just as eye-opening, challenging, and joyful as being a parent or a partner -- and how it can make you your best self. Aminatou and Ann's story is as universal as it is revolutionary. - Hillary Rodham Clinton
Love can be passionate-transformative, painful, enlivening, bone-deep-without being erotic. In this openhearted book, Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman show us how a friendship can be as rewarding and enduring as a marriage, and they urge us to value it accordingly-as they clearly do. These women we love to listen to give us the gift of a look inside their intimacy, with all its challenges, and it is an inspiration. - Ariel Levy, author of The Rules Do Not Apply

[A] thoughtful and highly readable story - New York Times Book Review
Big Friendship is an anatomy of the way one particular friendship works, but it is also an argument for taking all amicable relationships more seriously, for understanding them in the terms we usually reserve for romance (the authors share their "meet cute" and discuss the "spark" and "chemistry" between them), and for appreciating the sometimes difficult and time-consuming work it takes to maintain these friendships - Vogue

Adele and Ed Sheeran beaten to top spot for UK's best wedding first dance song - by Elvis
Ed Sheeran, Adele and John Legend have been beaten to the top spot in a vote for the UK's favourite first dance song at weddings - by Elvis. The King's "Can't Help Falling in Love" ballad, from the 1961 movie Blue Hawaii, was number one in the chart.

It beat modern hits including Sheeran's multi-platinum selling Thinking Out Loud, Adele's Make You Feel My Love, and Legend's All of Me.

All but one track in the list's top five were sentimental 1960s' classics, regularly rolled out as newlyweds' sway together after saying "I do".
Frankie Valli's version of Can't Take My Eyes Off You was second, Frank Sinatra's The Way You Look Tonight was third, and The Righteous Brothers' Unchained Melody came in at number five.
The research, of 2,000 adults, also revealed Legend's All Of Me was in fourth place, with Sir Elton John's Your Song, released in 1970, coming in sixth.
Gordon Harrison, chief audiologist at Specsavers, which commissioned the research to highlight the importance of hearing when it comes to our relationship with music, said: "It's apparent that music plays a huge part in our lives and is something we associate with key moments and memories.
"This is why it is absolutely essential we're doing all we can to protect our hearing, so we can keep enjoying this passion of ours for years to come."
The study asked people to vote for their dream playlists to accompany some of life's most major milestones, including a painful break-up, falling in love, moving away from home for the first time and landing a job.
The break-up playlist was topped by R.E.M.'s Everybody Hurts - with Adele's Someone Like You and Sinead O'Connor's Nothing Compares 2U in second and third place respectively.

If you are perceiving something to be loud then it probably is - and you need to consider how long you want your hearing for
Gareth Malone, musician and choirmaster
Respondents said Walking on Sunshine was the ultimate feel-good track to accompany falling in love.
Fleetwood Mac's Go Your Own Way was rated the best tune to play when celebrating moving away from home for the first time - and Don't Stop Me Now by Queen was the number one choice to mark getting a job.
Such is the emotional impact of music on people's lives, that seven in ten are transported back to key moments when they hear a particular song.
And 79 percent admit it has the power to change their mood at a moment's notice, according to the findings, via OnePoll.
While more than three-quarters associate particular songs with key milestones in their lives, 78 percent would expect to feel devastated if their ability to listen to the music was stolen away from them.
Despite this, more than half admit they listen to music at a volume they expect could damage their hearing, while nearly a third ignore the volume warning when listening through headphones on their phone.
What's more, 58 percent say they have never had a hearing test.

Musician Gareth Malone, who is working with Specsavers to encourage people to protect their hearing so they can continue to enjoy their relationship with music, said: "After being diagnosed with tinnitus I have been fastidious with wearing hearing protection. There's the perception that louder equals better, but that isn't the case.
"We all have our own thresholds, and if you are perceiving something to be loud then it probably is - and you need to consider how long you want your hearing for."
Gordon Harrison added: "While many enjoy the benefits of hearing when it comes to music, it's apparent that many aren't taking the necessary measures to look after it, and could be causing irreversible damage that cannot be restored.
"It's so important to protect your ears if you are exposed to high levels of noise. Not only can loud noise cause pain, tinnitus and a temporary loss of hearing, but long-term exposure to noise can also cause permanent, irreparable nerve damage, that may not show up for a number of years.
"This research has highlighted to us the true importance of music as a whole - and the need to encourage people to listen appropriately and get their hearing tested to ensure they avoid losing such enjoyment."

The lesson for today is going to deal with being a real Christian. Now by this we do not mean being saved. The world today has come to think that being saved is the same thing as being a Christian. But if you look in the King James Bible the word Christian only occurs 3 times. We will look at those scriptures and give a biblical account of what it means to be a Christian. Now it goes without saying that one must be saved to be a Christian. But as we go through this lesson it will be clear that it is possible to be saved and not be what the word of God defines as a Christian.
Even though Acts 11:26 is our key text let us look at some other scriptures in the book of Acts that will give us a good introduction for our first point. In the verses below we will see many different people getting saved starting with the day of Pentecost and following all the way up to where Peter preached to the house of Cornelius. In each of these accounts the people are saved, but as we will see no one was called a Christian until Acts11:26.
Now let us go to Acts 11:26 and put this all together. In Acts 11:26 we see saved people first called Christians. Now if you look at the people there some of them were saved well before coming to Antioch, like Paul and Barnabas. So therefore many were saved for a while before anyone called them Christians. They called them Christians first at Antioch and not Jerusalem. The most likely reason for calling them Christians is because they preached Christ contrary to the Law or other religions of that time and also these people who were saved were very different to the average person of Antioch. Therefore we see that it is possible to be saved and not a Christian by the bible definition of the word because they were not called Christians until Antioch.
If the word Christian only occurs 3 times in a King James Bible it must be significant and it is. Let us look at all three times and we will see a characteristic of what a Real Christian is by the word of God 's standard and not the worlds.
A real Christian will promote the Lord Jesus Christ in all areas of his life. He will also strive to maintain a good testimony as Christ did which will separate him from the world in many areas.
Today we can't tell he difference between saved people and lost people. The saved crowd today in many areas has picked up the worlds dress, music, language, and actions. They think just because it has the name Christian in front of it that makes it ok. You can't just put the name Christian on some and make it spiritual take for instance "Christian rock" there is no such thing. By the definition of rock it cannot be spiritual.
In Philippians 2:5-8 we see that we are to have the mind of Christ. This includes the following things.
No reputation (verse 7). Everything in our lives should be about the Lord Jesus Christ and not us. This is not so with much of Christianity in America today because Christianity in America today has become about putting on a show and entertaining the people instead of ministering to them.
Learned obedience through humility (verse8). A real Christian will follow this example in the Lord Jesus Christ.
As a saved person our live should have some persuasion about it. If we do not live any different from the world as we were discussing in point number one then we can not persuade anyone to get saved.
We are said by the word of God to be the salt of the earth. Then we should make lost people thirsty for the Lord Jesus Christ.
Does anything about your life persuade others to get saved?
This is probably the number one reason that we do not live any different or try to persuade other to be saved is because we are afraid of suffering a little persecution.
First of all Jesus left us an example of suffering (1 Peter 2:21-25).Therefore to be a real Christian as we should be we will have to suffer some.
So the 3 main characteristics of a Real Christian are suffering as a Christian, having some persuasion about us, and living as Christ would have lived. By these definitions many maybe saved but few are truly Christians. So the question is if you are saved are you a Real Christian.
1) Where were people first called Christians?
2) Where were some of those people first saved?
3) Explain how one can be saved and yet not be a Christian?
4) What do you think would be a good definition of a Christian then?
5) List the 3 different times that the word Christian is found in the Bible.
6) Using the 3 scripture given above show 3 things that characterize what a Real Christian is?

I adore them and need them more and more every day. I am so grateful to be a woman, I wouldn't change it for the world. I hope I'm not only defined by my gender though. I hope I'm defined by my input to the world, my ability to love and to have empathy. To raise my son to be a a good man alongside the good man who loves me for everything I am and am not. I want what's best for people, I think we all do. We just can't agree on what that is. Power to the peaceful, power to the people x #womensmarch2018

RIDE commissioner: Providence school closures 'not part of the purview' of School Board
At first, two school closures were announced. Now, a third will be phased out. And the board has been left in the dark.
Amy Russo
Rhode Island Department of Education Commissioner Angélica Infante-Green contended on Tuesday that two suddenly announced school closures in Providence are not under the purview of the School Board. Additionally, The Providence Journal has learned that a third school − Gilbert Stuart Middle School − will be phased out, according to the Providence Teachers Union.
"This is a decision that − there's a school building committee," Infante-Green said. "That committee has been looking at this work. That is not part of the purview of the current school board. But our intention was always to go present to the school board. That has now changed our timeline on what that's going to look like."
The union has already denied that the committee was involved. The Providence Journal has contacted RIDE for further information.
Infante-Green would not name which schools are closing, but confirmed the closures will impact elementary schools around the end of the year. The Providence Public School District has said there will be no teacher layoffs. The commissioner said the plan is to meet with families and staff tonight in person and over Zoom to share details. The names of the schools are expected to be made public on Wednesday.
Staff at Carl G. Lauro Elementary School and Alan Shawn Feinstein Elementary School at Broad Street have already received emails calling employees into meetings, according to screenshots of the messages shared by union president Maribeth Calabro. Both emails referenced "important upcoming facilities plans." The email to Carl G. Lauro school staff said "our original communications plan for this important project was interrupted by a public leak of information."
Union organizer Jeremy Sencer said he heard from Gilbert Stuart Middle School teachers attending a meeting on Tuesday that the school will be phased out starting next year. Infante-Green has already publicly said that a middle school may be impacted.
Days before, Sencer shared the news over the weekend on Twitter, drawing the ire of PPSD, which was upset by the surprise announcement.
What has already happened this week:'Hostile and unprofessional': PPSD spars with union over surprise school closures
In response, the district released a scathing statement accusing Sencer and Calabro of "[sowing] turmoil" and acting in a "hostile and unprofessional" way.
Though School Board President Kinzel Thomas has called for more respectful communication, Infante-Green appeared to have no issue with the statement, citing "a level of frustration."
"I think that if we're going to point fingers, I think we have to point fingers all around. I think that when you talk about students, that's who we have to put first — the students and the staff, and this was not professional," she said of the union's actions. "It was just not OK to do, and we have to work a little differently."
While Infante-Green said that the school board would be involved in a future conversation, so far, members say they haven't been at the table, and whether they should be remains a matter of debate for RIDE.
A policy enacted in 1971 states the School Board should be involved in closure decisions. Asked why that was not the case, Infante-Green called it "an old policy" that was created "prior to takeover so it's a different kind of conversation."
School Board President Kinzel Thomas has already expressed his support for the policy.
Providence Public School District:Anonymous letters, allegations and resignations: What you need to know about PPSD turmoil
Infante-Green and PPSD have said the point of the school closures is to transition students into more modern facilities.
"That's part of what the bond was for was for our kids to actually have buildings that they can learn in and learn from and learn with, and that's not what we have in Providence," Infante-Green said, referring to funds that were made available for schools. "I have to say that when I go visit other districts that have new construction it breaks my heart."
In a statement, Mayor Jorge Elorza appeared supportive of the closures, pointing to "decades of deferred maintenance," and investment that have given the district flexibility "to transition students into learning environments that better align with decreased enrollment trends and allow for ongoing construction projects."
"While PPSD continues to monitor and adjust for enrollment trends and related space needs, it presents an opportunity for City leaders to make our buildings available for any public school serving Providence students, including public charter schools that are overwhelmingly supported by Providence families looking for choice," the mayor said.

There's been a tendency lately for people to downvote images due to lack of understanding about the topic presented, or a personal dislike toward the topic, despite the actual quality of the image. This causes perfectly good images to be lobbed out of the gallery because the users who would actually upvote weren't online at the time. So, the obvious solution is to not auto-remove images due to downvotes, but only for requests for deletion, for actually offensive/inappropriate images.

On Saint Proclus of Constantinople (Socrates Scholasticus)
By Socrates Scholasticus
(Ecclesiastical History, Bk. 7, Chs. 40-45, 48)
Chapter 40. Proclus succeeds Maximian as Bishop of Constantinople.
Maximian, having peacefully governed the church during two years and five months, died on the 12th of April, in the consulate of Areobindus and Aspar. This happened to be on the fifth day of the week of fasts which immediately precedes Easter. The day of the week was Thursday. Then the Emperor Theodosius wishing to prevent the disturbances in the church which usually attend the election of a bishop, made a wise provision for this affair; for in order that there might be no dispute again about the choice of a bishop and tumult thus arise, without delaying, before the body of Maximian was interred, he directed the bishops who were then in the city to place Proclus in the episcopal chair. For he had received already letters from Caelestinus bishop of Rome approving of this election, which he had forwarded to Cyril of Alexandria, John of Antioch, and Rufus of Thessalonica; in which he assured them that there was no impediment to the translation to another see, of a person who had been nominated and really was the bishop of some one church. Proclus, being thus invested with the bishopric, performed the funeral obsequies of Maximian: but it is now time briefly to give some account of him also.
Chapter 41. Excellent Qualities of Proclus.
Proclus was a reader at a very early age, and assiduously frequenting the schools, became devoted to the study of rhetoric. On attaining manhood he was in the habit of constant intercourse with Atticus the bishop, having been constituted his secretary. When he had made great progress, his patron promoted him to the rank of deacon; subsequently being elevated to the presbyterate, as we have before stated, he was ordained by Sisinnius to be bishop of Cyzicus. But all these things were done long before. At this time he was allotted the episcopal chair of Constantinople. He was a man of moral excellence equal to any other; for having been trained by Atticus, he was a zealous imitator of all that bishop's virtues. Patience, however, he exercised to a greater degree than his master, who occasionally practiced severities upon the heretics; for Proclus was gentle towards everybody, being convinced that kindness is far more effective than violence in advancing the cause of truth. Resolving therefore to vexatiously interfere with no heresy whatever, he restored in his own person to the church that mild and benign dignity of character, which had so often before been unhappily violated. In this respect he followed the example of the Emperor Theodosius; for as the latter had determined never to exercise his imperial authority against criminals, so had Proclus likewise purposed not to disquiet those who entertained other sentiments on divine subjects than those which he cherished himself.
Chapter 42. Panegyric of the Emperor Theodosius Younger.
For these reasons the emperor had the highest esteem for Proclus. For in fact he himself was a pattern to all true clergymen, and never approved of those who attempted to persecute others. Nay I may venture to affirm, that in meekness he surpassed all those who have ever faithfully borne the sacerdotal office. And what is recorded of Moses in the book of Numbers, Numbers 12:3 'Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth' — may most justly be applied at this day; for the Emperor Theodosius is 'meek above all the men which are upon the face of the earth.' It is because of this meekness that God subdued his enemies without martial conflicts, as the capture of the usurper John, and the subsequent discomfiture of the barbarians clearly demonstrate. For the God of the universe has afforded this most devout emperor in our times supernatural aid of a similar kind to what was vouchsafed to the righteous heretofore. I write not these things from adulation, but truthfully narrate facts such as everybody can attest.
Chapter 43. Calamities of the Barbarians who had been the Usurper John's Allies.
After the death of the usurper, the barbarians whom he had called to his assistance against the Romans, made preparations for ravaging the Roman provinces. The emperor being informed of this, immediately, as his custom was, committed the management of the matter to God; and continuing in earnest prayer, he speedily obtained what he sought; for it is worth while to give attention to disasters which befell the barbarians. For their chief, whose name was Rougas, was struck dead with a thunderbolt. Then a plague followed which destroyed most of the men who were under him: and as if this was not sufficient, fire came down from heaven, and consumed many of the survivors. This filled the barbarians with the utmost terror; not so much because they had dared to take up arms against a nation of such valor as the Romans possessed, as that they perceived them to be assisted by a mighty God. On this occasion, Proclus the bishop preached a sermon in the church in which he applied a prophecy out of Ezekiel to the deliverance effected by God in the late emergency, and was in consequence much admired. This is the language of the prophecy:
'And thou, son of man, prophesy against Gog the prince of Rhos, Mosoch, and Thobel. For I will judge him with death, and with blood, and with overflowing rain, and with hail-stones. I will also rain fire and brimstone upon him, and upon all his bands, and upon many nations that are with him. And I will be magnified, and glorified, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations: and they shall know that I am the Lord.'
This application of the prophecy was received with great applause, as I have said, and enhanced the estimation in which Proclus was held. Moreover the providence of God rewarded the meekness of the emperor in various other ways, one of which was the following.
Chapter 44. Marriage of the Emperor Valentinian with Eudoxia the Daughter of Theodosius.
He had by the empress Eudocia, his wife, a daughter named Eudoxia. Her his cousin Valentinian, appointed by him emperor of the West, demanded for himself in marriage. When the emperor Theodosius had given his assent to this proposal, and they had consulted with each other as to the place on the frontiers of both empires, where it would be desirable that the marriage should be celebrated, it was decided that both parties should go to Thessalonica (which is about half-way) for this purpose. But Valentinian sent a message to the effect that he would not give him the trouble of coming, for that he himself would go to Constantinople. Accordingly, having secured the Western parts with a sufficient guard, he proceeded there on account of his nuptials, which were celebrated in the consulate of Isidore and Sinator; after which he returned with his wife into the West. This auspicious event took place at that time.
Chapter 45. The Body of John Chrysostom transferred to Constantinople, and placed in the Church of the Apostles by the Emperor at the Instigation of Proclus.
Not long after this, Proclus the bishop brought back to the Church those who had separated themselves from it on account of Bishop John's deposition, he having soothed the irritation by a prudent expedient. What this was we must now recount. Having obtained the emperor's permission, he removed the body of John from Comana, where it was buried, to Constantinople, in the thirty-fifth year after his deposition. And when he had carried it in solemn procession through the city, he deposited it with much honor in the church termed The Apostles. By this means the admirers of that prelate were conciliated, and again associated in communion with the [catholic] Church. This happened on the 27th of January, in the sixteenth consulate of the Emperor Theodosius. But it astonishes me that envy, which has been vented against Origen since his death, has spared John. For the former was excommunicated by Theophilus about two hundred years after his decease; while the latter was restored to communion by Proclus in the thirty-fifth year after his death! So different was Proclus from Theophilus. And men of observation and intelligence cannot be deceived in reference to how these things were done and are continually being done.
Chapter 48. Thalassius is ordained Bishop of Caesarea in Cappadocia.
About this same time, under the seventeenth consulate of Theodosius, Proclus the bishop undertook the performance of an act, such as no one among the ancients had done. Firmus bishop of Caesarea in Cappadocia being dead, the inhabitants of that place came to Constantinople to consult Proclus about the appointment of a bishop. While Proclus was considering whom he should prefer to that see, it so happened that all the senators came to the church to visit him on the sabbath day; among whom was Thalassius also, a man who had administered the government of the nations and cities of Illyricum. And as it was reported that the emperor was about to entrust the government of the Eastern parts to him, Proclus laid his hands on him, and ordained him bishop of Caesarea, instead of Praetorian Prefect.

While the developed city-state of Singapore does not suffer major congestion, it is seen as a perfect test-bed for new technologies due to its compact size and openness to innovation.
German firm Volocopter said Tuesday it will conduct the test flights in Singapore in the second half of next year with the support of the government.
Resembling a helicopter, Volocopter's electric air taxis take off and land vertically. They are based on drone technology and can fly two people for around 30 kilometers (19 miles), the firm said in a statement.
"The Volocopter is designed specifically for inner city missions," Volocopter said in a statement, adding it can withstand minor turbulence around skyscrapers, allowing for smooth rides.


A Bahraini court has rejected the appeal of three dissidents sentenced to 10 years in prison.
The court on Wednesday found the defendants guilty of "deliberately setting ablaze a car belonging to the Bahraini Interior Ministry, and that would have endangered the life and property of people," taking part in a gathering of more than five people aimed at disturbing public order and possessing flammable canisters.
Anti-regime protesters have held demonstrations in Bahrain since February 2011. They demand that the Al Khalifah dynasty relinquish power and allow a just system representing all the Bahrainis to be established.
Manama has gone to great lengths to clamp down on any sign of dissent. On March 14, 2011, troops from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates were deployed to assist Bahrain in its crackdown. Scores of people have lost their lives and hundreds of others sustained injuries or got arrested as a result of the crackdown.

From the Ashes, the Life and Times of Tick Hall, a documentary film written by Buck Hill Resident Jennifer Mittereder.
From The Ashes, the Life and Times of Tick Hall a documentary that chronicles the history, loss and rebuilding of the 125-year-old historic house known as Tick Hall. Destroyed by a fire in 1997 Tick Hall's owners talk-show host Dick Cavett and his wife, actress Carrie Nye embarked on a three year journey to rebuild the home to its original splendor.
Tick Hall, one of the seven homes that were part of the Montauk Association and designed by the architectural firm of McKim, Mead & White in 1879.

Two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and University of Wisconsin-Madison alumnus Anthony Shadid gave a chilling and moving account of his time spent in Iraq over the last eight years as a foreign correspondent for The New York Times and the Washington Post.His audience sat in stark silence as Shadid described the war-torn country he came to know.
With vivid and vibrant language, Shadid brought the audience to Thuluya, a small, lush and even scenic town on the Tigris River. He first visited the town in June 2003, when it was mourning the death of a local 15-year-old boy at the hands of American soldiers. A townsperson called the boy's death an omen – this heartbreaking event would not be an isolated experience, many bad things would follow.
The events set in motion by the plight of the informer and of the young boy reveal how the American invasion of Iraq inevitably brought many unintended consequences.
Shadid maintains that the United States has not taken responsibility for the damage we have inflicted on Iraq. He says we now have a clear obligation to the country.
Shadid also noted that many people living in the United States do not understand how we are perceived in other parts of the world. "We as Americans don't understand the baggage that we carry abroad," he said.
Shadid recently returned to Thuluya, exactly seven years after his first visit. He found the tiny village much like it had been before – beautiful fuchsia flowers abounded, and tribal leaders presided over the residents. When viewed closer, though, Thuluya was not the same. As a result of American occupation, it has experienced devastation, trauma and tragedy. Ultimately, Shadid wonders what, exactly, Thuluya got out of the American invasion.
"What was it all for? That's what I keep going back to," Shadid said.

He also accounted for 290 yards and a touchdown on 61 carries for the 7-4-1 Lions to make his first Pro Bowl. In '52, the Lions were even better and a lot of that had to do with Layne. He passed for 1,999 yards and 19 touchdowns will leading the Lions to an NFL Championship. That year he made the Pro Bowl again as well as earning First-Team All-Pro honors. In '53, Detroit won the NFL Championship for the second straight year as Layne made his third consecutive Pro Bowl.
After losing his only start for Detroit in '58, Layne moved on to the Pittsburgh Steelers and had a very successful year. He led the Steelers to a record of 7-2-1 in the games that he started while throwing for a career high 2,510 yards (counting his stats with the Lions).
Over his 15-year career, Layne finished in the top five in the league in passing yards and touchdown passes nine times each while throwing for 26,768 yards and 196 touchdowns. He also rushing for 2,451 yards and 25 touchdowns. For his efforts, the six-time Pro Bowler was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1967.

Tarion – 2015 Builder of the Year
Dave MacDonald and Mark Klemencic of Klemencic Homes with their third consecutive Builder of the Year Award.
Trenton's Klemencic Homes Receives Tarion Award of Excellence for Outstanding Customer Service.
(Toronto, ON, April 21, 2015) – Tarion Warranty Corporation has announced the recipients of the 2015 Tarion Awards of Excellence, the only awards in Ontario that recognize new home builders based solely on homeowners' satisfaction with their customer service delivery.
"A home builder's job isn't complete just because the last tile has been laid. The Tarion Awards of Excellence recipients recognize the positive impact of exceptional customer service long after they've handed over the keys," said Howard Bogach, Tarion President and CEO of Tarion Warranty Corporation. "Congratulations to all the finalists and recipients for supporting Ontario's new home buyers from start to finish, and raising the bar in the new homeownership experience."
The awards are based on the results of a comprehensive survey sent to more than 49,000 Ontario homeowners who took possession of a new home between October 1, 2013 and September 30, 2014. Almost 7,900 survey responses were received, representing 16 per cent of consumers who bought a new home in Ontario during that time. The results were tabulated by Crunch Research in partnership with Harris Decima.
Survey questions covered every stage of the homeowner-builder relationship beginning with the signing of the agreement of purchase and sale, through construction, pre-delivery inspection, and after-sales service.
Originated in 1990, the Tarion Awards of Excellence, formally known as the Ernest Assaly Ontario Builder of the Year awards, were established in honour of Tarion's first Chair and prominent Ottawa builder, the late Ernest W. Assaly.

Amite County monument honors dead, not Confederacy
There is little doubt many monuments were built to "stick it to the union" and anger free blacks, but that's not the case for all of them.
Amite County monument honors dead, not Confederacy There is little doubt many monuments were built to "stick it to the union" and anger free blacks, but that's not the case for all of them.

One argument in the ongoing war of words over Confederate monuments concerns their construction date after the Civil War.
Critics of many of the monuments built after 1890 through the 1930s claim they were created to continue the harassment of slaves and other African-American citizens. I cannot say unequivocally that was the reason for those memorials, but nobody should be shocked to discover that's true in some locales in the Deep South, particularly in Mississippi.
There can be no such argument concerning the memorial to soldiers who died in that conflict from Amite County (better known as the boyhood home of the late Grand Ole Opry comedian Jerry Clower), located in Liberty in the corner of southwest Mississippi, from where all of my forbears emanated.
The Amite memorial was established in 1871, only five years after war's end. Records from state archives indicate the 20-foot marble structure was the first of its kind in the state and one of the first in the nation. I'll state without fear of reverberation that it was built purely to honor the war dead, not to defend or exploit a cause such as slavery — and nothing of the kind says that on the monument.
Before delving further, allow me some transparency: The names of Confederate dead on that memorial include several of my ancestors from both my mother's and my father's families, all Amite County natives. Some of them owned slaves. I would strongly suggest that Amite County erect a monument to honor the slaves who worked the Amite ground and helped to construct many homes and buildings in the county. It is never too late.
Anyone with the last name of Gordon or Butler (my father's people), McDowell or Anders (my mother's people), Whittington or Travis on the monument — and there are several of each of those surnames — could be my kinfolks. There is a saying that everybody in Amite County is kin to everybody else, so that monument holds many familial connections.

I have no idea what these men were thinking when they joined the Confederate Army, i.e., whether they agreed with the Southern cause. They likely were in agreement. I do know that if you were an of-age male in Amite County then, there was no escaping of the expectation that you go off and fight. The names of the 279 men from the county who died in the war are engraved on that monument.
When the Battle of Liberty commenced on Nov. 16, 1864, some of these men fought Northern troops on what they considered hallowed ground. I have never seen a list of the Amite men who died or were injured in that skirmish, but surely some did as they sought to preserve their village.
Because of the date of its erection, I could never be convinced that the Amite monument was intended for any purpose other than to memorialize and honor those men for their service in a war in which they might or might not have believed to be worthy.
Another Civil War-era edifice with which I am familiar was also not built to harass African-Americans. My wife is a native of Early County, Georgia, where we live part-time and where on the courthouse grounds stands a wooden flagpole, the last remaining Confederate flagstaff still standing anywhere. It was constructed of longleaf pine in 1861, the year the war began.
Count me on the side of those who believe the federal and state governments should lock up the members of the Ku Klux Klan and their neo-Nazi friends who caused all this recent trouble in Charlottesville and elsewhere, and toss the jailhouse keys where the sun doesn't shine. I trust we won't have to worry about that in Amite County, Mississippi, or Early County, Georgia.

Nonkilling Global Political Science
Glenn Paige, Philadelphia: Xlibris Corp, 2002
By Bill Bhaneja (reviewer) | 2005-01-01 12:00:00
In the fourth year of the new millennium, war and terrorism are the norm for resolving international conflicts. Has nothing been learned from the bloody wars of the previous century? That's the question asked by Glenn Paige, professor emeritus of political science at the University of Hawaii, in Nonkilling Global Political Science.
Paige argues that if political scientists do not seriously challenge the acceptance of lethality, then one could hardly expect citizens to do so. He also asks: "Is a nonkilling global society feasible?" then challenges his discipline, asking whether a nonkilling global political science is achievable. On both counts, his answer is a resounding "yes."
This work synthesizes decades of research by Paige, the author of The Korean Decision (1968), The Scientific Study of Political Leadership (1977), and To Nonviolent Political Science: From Seasons of Violence (1993).
The term "nonkilling" is not as comforting as "nonviolence." Mighty nations still assert pre-emptive wars without qualms. Paige shows that both the violence-accepting politics and political science of the last century have failed to suppress violence by violent means. The study of government and international politics has not addressed the root cause of global violence.
Paige's vision is for political science to diagnose the pathology of lethality, and seek to remove killing from global life. He shows that at most only about five percent of human beings have ever killed another person. Paige suggests we should train people to strengthen their resistance to killing.
He uses medical science as a metaphor. Medicine, through focusing on prevention, intervention, and post-traumatic transformation strategies, has produced both knowledge and practitioners for the preservation of life. Paige considers the same commitment to non-lethality applicable to the social sciences.
The last three chapters of the book lay out a model of a nonkilling global society. Why has the study of successful conflict resolution remained neglected? There is a long list of Nobel Peace Prize recipients who dared to take the nonviolent route for complex regime change in their respective countries, and succeeded. Their accomplishments, leadership styles, ideologies, skills, and strategies are waiting to be analyzed.
Plutarch (c. 40-120 AD) suggested some principles for the comparative study of rulers. These can be used to evaluate peaceful leadership in terms familiar to modern social science -- personality, role, organization, tasks, values, setting, and errors. This has been done for Gandhi.
Paige calls into question the Weberian dogma that acceptance of violence is required for the practice and science of politics. On this bias, he writes that
"political science has tended to be unreceptive to theoretical imagination, and this is especially true with regards to nonviolence creativity. By dismissing it in professional training as "utopian," "idealistic," and "unrealistic," political science is condemned to support perpetual lethality."
Killing that was expected to liberate, protect, and enrich has become instead a threat to human and planetary survival. Intended defences can become the source of self-destruction. Bodyguards kill their own heads of state, armies violate and impoverish their own people, and nuclear weapons proliferate to threaten their possessors.
Paige concludes that the time has come for a paradigm-shift in the discipline:
"If tradition has taught that we must kill to be free, equal and secure, the present teaches that unless we stop killing, not only freedom and equality are in jeopardy but our very survival -- individual, social, and ecological -- is imperiled."
Paige considers his "Nonkilling" approach to be reachable as a new sub-field of political science. The book is both provocative and creative, a wonderful tonic for these troubled times.

The de Rességuier family owned an important fortified château near Sauveterre from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, in the hills along the old Lombez to Simorre road. Religious wars, wars with the English and the power struggle between the houses of Armagnac and Astarac all lead to the destruction of this ancient home.
The family decided to build another Château, the main body of which was intended to be on on the lane which leads to Sauveterre village. The outbuildings were first and were very much as they are today with a chapel in the north wing and the living accommodation in the south wing. At the end of the eighteenth century only the north wing was completed and a start had been made on the south wing. The property was divided between Adrien and Jules de Rességuier on the deaths of their mother and father in 1801 and 1803 respectively.
First to marry was Adrien in 1806, followed by Jules who married Nina in 1811. In 1819 Jules decided to complete the work started by his father but in a far more modest way. The main part was never built and he altered the south wing giving it the impression of an Italian Villa.
This resulted in a simple house which apart from the roof, was a mirror of the other wing. In one of his poems written in 1836 he called it his "Petite Maison" in another his "Nouvelle Maison" . It was built in pink brick and some white stone but the façades between the columns were covered in Crépi, a white rendering that was the fashion in the region of Toulouse.
So, as the nineteenth century passed, Jules de Rességuier lived in his "Nouvelle Maison" until his death in 1862. When his wife Nina died in 1868, the property was divided between their sons Paul, Albert and Charles. Albert was the only one to have a child so his daughter Genevieve inherited Sauveterre. In 1865 she married Marquis Henri de Perignon and her turn in 1895 their daughter married Albert Danglade, a keen horseman and a Calvary officer in the First World War.
Albert Danglade was responsible for the construction of the large ground floor gallery and the grand staircase both of which allowed more light. He also built the bathrooms and the second floor of four bedrooms. Albert had a son, Jacques who died without any children in 1967. Jacques cousin and goddaughter Catherine de Perignon, while still a child inherited Sauveterre and sold it to the insurance company PRAGA in 1974 for seminars and for storage and records. They carried out important renovations to the house including repointing and reproofing.
Translated by Carolyn Blackmore from an Article found in the Sauveterre Library when Cothill bought the Château in 1989.

Describe the Bobath Approach/Neurodevelopmental Technique for the therapy of stroke patients. C5.2 Neurodevelopmental Approaches to Motor Recovery Post Stroke doing your dissertation with microsoft word pdf Abstract. Spasticity is a physiological consequence of an injury to the nervous system. It is a complex problem which can cause profound disability, alone or in combination with the other features of an upper motor neuron syndrome and can give rise to significant difficulties in the process of rehabilitation.
Intervention The Bobath therapy technique (also known as 'neurodevelopmental treatment') Comparator Q1-2: Usual care (e.g., repetitive functional tasks, starting moving through motions w/ patients… the animal desk reference essential oils for animals pdf Stroke is the major disease that leads to an increase in the number of people with motor or sensory impairment. A study by the World Health Organization (WHO), which was released in June, says that the incidence of stroke in India is around 130 per 100,000 people every year and about 20 percent of heart patients are susceptible to it.
The Bobath approach is a neurologically based holistic approach that is frequently used in the UK.44 There were no significant differences between the two treatments in terms of severity of pain at rest or on movement or for reported distress.
For example one approach may be effective in initial stage of stroke, but the same approach may not be effective for chronic stroke patients. Factors such as depression, spatial awareness, cognition, comprehension and sensory loss could also have an impact on the response of a technique.
There isn't one panacea for rehabilitation of patients with CVA's. Because a stroke can cause various impairments therapists must choose interventions according to specific limitations and based on patients' responses to treatments. A variety of techniques and interventions may need to be implemented to identify which will bring the best outcome.
