Whatever feelings readers hold about Newfoundland and Labrador's seal hunt, two recent books from Flanker Press will be sure to move them with the harsh, historical economic realities that drove men onto the ice in a desperate effort to provide for their families.
Gary Collins' Left to Die recounts the tragic story of 78 sealers from the Newfoundland who froze to death on the ice during the seal hunt of March 1914 while Nellie P. Strowbridge writes of the devastating aftermath of the sinking of the Southern Cross that same month, which took the lives of 174 sealers.
Unlike Collins' book, which takes readers out on to the ice, this historical novel stays on shore with the outport families who gather anxiously to await news of the ship's arrival in St. John's. Weaving together several plot lines, it follows two friends, Elizabeth and Maggie, the sister and fiancée of Jamie, first time sealer who'd joined the hunt aboard the Southern Cross to earn enough to build a house.
Using their lives as a vehicle, Strowbridge documents a compelling social history of women's lives in the outports of the early 1900's, of the daily struggle to merely exist and of the cruel choices they were sometimes forced to make. Harsh climate, limited medical care, backbreaking work, malnourishment and disease, restrictive social mores and almost continuous child-bearing, combined to wear down body and mind, making death when it came often before the allotted 'three score and ten', a blessed release for the soul. That these women survived at all, and even managed to find brief moments of joy, is a testament to their strength of character that lives on in their descendants.
Inspiration for Ghost of the Southern Cross came directly from the Stowbridge's own family history. The character 'Elizabeth' is based on her grandmother, Elizabeth Emma Maley who married Jacob Kennedy. She bore 12 children, three of whom died at birth and another of meningitis. 'Jamie' who drowned when the Southern Cross sank was her great-uncle James Maley. 'Maggie Taylor', however, is a fictionalized version of the young woman he planned to marry.

Longtime Arts Supporter Don Winspear Dies at 62
October 5, 2021 October 5, 2021 Rachel Snyder	0 Comments GIVINGPEOPLE
Longtime supporter of the Dallas arts community Don Winspear died Sept. 17 at the age of 62.
Don served on various boards including on the boards of Goodwill, the AT&T Performing Arts Center, and the Dallas Opera.
The Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House at the AT&T Performing Arts Center is named for his parents.
"Don was a part of the Dallas arts community and the AT&T Performing Arts Center since the very beginning," a statement on the center's website reads. "Our gorgeous Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House is named after Don's late parents who helped encourage his love of the arts, so much so that Don and his wife Ellen regularly attended Broadway, dance and opera and were big fans of the many small and emerging groups featured in our Elevator Project, frequently applauding their work from the front row."
Don graduated from St. Mark's School of Texas in 1977, and met Ellen Needham while he was studying there. The pair married in 1981. He finished his undergraduate studies in 1981 and received his Master of Arts degree from the University of Texas in 1985.
Don and Ellen have two sons — Frank and Ryan — and five grandchildren.
Don founded market research firm Crescent Research Inc. in 1997. He also served on the vestry and as Junior Warden at St. Luke's Episcopal Church.
He was struck with transverse myelitis, a rare neurological illness, in 2012 and the disease left him paralyzed from the chest down. Don and his wife Ellen worked to raise awareness of the disease and funding for the CONQUER (Collaboration On Neuroimmunology: Question, Understand, Educate, Restore) Project to benefit transverse myelitis research at UT Southwestern via benefit concerts at the Kessler.
His family asks those who wish to honor Don to consider a memorial gift to the AT&T Performing Arts Center, the Dallas Opera, to UT Southwestern's CONQUER TM program by visiting this website or by sending a contribution to P.O. Box 910888, Dallas, TX 75391-0888, or to St. Luke's Episcopal Church (5923 Royal Lane, Dallas).

York City Mayor Michael Helfrich is eyeing a new a new hairdo — if a donor is willing to pay the right price.
York City Mayor Michael Helfrich is eyeing a new hairdo — if a donor is willing to pay the right price.
Helfrich said he will shave his head for the York City United St. Baldrick's fundraiser for $10,000.
But there's a catch: The deal is only on if the donation comes from a single donor, not an accumulation of smaller donations, he said.
"If somebody is willing to step up and give $10,000 to help the kids, I'm willing to do my part," Helfrich said.
Donations can be made to the York City United St. Baldrick's Fundraiser online at st.baldricks.org. The organization raises funds to help infants, children, teens and young adults fighting childhood cancer.
Helfrich's announcement may take donations to the next level. As of Wednesday April 3, $2,106 of a $10,000 goal had been raised, based on the online fundraiser page.
If the $10,000 donation is made, Helfrich would join others at St. Baldrick's signature head-shaving event from noon to 5 p.m. on April 20 at Cherry Lane Park.
The York City Police Department partnered with York City Fire and Rescue, City of York, state Rep. Carol-Hill Evans and Mudhook Brewing Co. to put on the event.

What Prop. 22 could mean for the gig economy nationwide
Prop. 22 passed despite driver rallies like this one in Los Angeles last month.
Image: Al Seib/Shutterstock
By Sasha Lekach 2020-11-04 23:18:36 UTC
After Election Day in California, labor groups and coalitions of drivers were devastated. Ride-hailing companies were relieved.
With Prop. 22's passage in California, Lyft, Uber, DoorDash, and other apps that rely on so-called gig workers will continue to treat those workers as independent contractors. (The SF Chronicle put the vote at 58 percent for, 41 percent against.)
If the measure failed, the state's new(ish) employee classification law AB 5 would have turned those contractors into employees with benefits.
So what does this mean for the rest of the country? California is often a bellwether. New York, Massachusetts, and other states considering gig economy legislation could look to its new "hybrid" model, in which companies give workers some limited benefits.
After spending more than $200 million on Prop. 22 and winning, companies including Uber and Lyft could push similar federal regulations to avoid stronger labor laws like AB 5.
"It's a little clearer now," said Diana Tsudik, partner and managing attorney for the Los Angeles law firm Gilson Daub, which specializes in workers' comp. "Gig work is here to stay."
Prop. 22 goes into effect officially on Dec. 16.
Tech stocks doing well today, but none as well as Uber and Lyft, which have surged 15 and 18 percent respectively on news their ballot measure to deny drivers employment passed https://t.co/LvoBlMCCJ0 pic.twitter.com/KUF2awQkbP
— Faiz Siddiqui (@faizsays) November 4, 2020
After Prop. 22 passed, DoorDash CEO Tony Xu said in a statement the law was a win for its delivery workers, while Uber didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Lyft sent out a statement saying the law will provide drivers a health care subsidy, earnings guarantee, medical and disability coverage, and an appeals process for deactivated drivers.
Opponents, however, were fighting for a higher guaranteed minimum wage, like in New York City, where drivers earn $27.86 per hour.
"Proposition 22 leaves California's gig workers with no representation, no collective bargaining rights, no path to negotiate a livable wage, and no ability to have a real voice in their pay and benefits," Brendan Sexton, executive director of the Independent Drivers Guild in New York, said in an email statement.
Ajay Prakash, CEO of laundry delivery service Rinse, which employs its delivery workers, weighed in on the new benefits that come with Prop. 22.
"Driving for Uber and Lyft will be relatively more attractive than it might have been before, but it still will not come with the protection and support that being classified as a W2 employee brings," he wrote in an email.
One of the main backers of "No on Prop. 22," Gig Workers Rising, called the passage of the law "a loss for our democracy."
Fighting corporate greed and unlimited spending isn't easy but we have to keep at it. This is not the end. https://t.co/e73b8imI9S
— San Francisco Rising (@SF_Rising) November 4, 2020
"When corporations spend hundreds of millions of dollars to write their own labor laws even after our elected officials and public institutions have, numerous times, rejected them, that is a loss for our system of government and working people," the statement continued.
Only two weeks ago, a California superior court ruled against Lyft and Uber for defying AB 5 (which went into effect Jan. 1). The ruling said Uber and Lyft could no longer classify its drivers as contractors.
Tsudik said everything isn't settled quite yet. Uber and Lyft could still be penalized for non-compliance with AB 5 going as far back as January. Once Prop. 22 is in place, she said, "Everyone's watching to see if they comply with what they promised."
Harry Campbell, who runs The Rideshare Guy blog about the ride-hailing industry, said the law could benefit "part-time drivers the most since they're able to take advantage of things like flexibility and cherry-picking the most lucrative hours to work."
SEE ALSO: Future of Uber, Lyft on the line in fight to keep drivers from becoming employees
There has been some fallout at Uber and Lyft. The Information reported Lyft execs left over the measure, and an engineer at Uber said it caused them to resign.
As Gig Workers Rising put it, just because Prop. 22 passed doesn't mean drivers and delivery workers won't keep fighting for more rights and protections: "This is far from over."

Q: jquery.get result from php to another input I'm using the following code:
$('#inputname').change(function(){ //on change event
            var parentVal = $('#inputname').val();
            $.ajax({
                url     : 'file.php',
                type    : 'GET', //type of request, GET or POST
                data: ({ svalue: parentVal }),
                success : function(data){ $('#slug').html(data); }
            });

        });

I want to display what is being typed in one text field to another text field, after processing it in php. In file php I only have an echo $_GET['svalue'] for test purpose.
Any thoughts? Thank you!

A: If it's a text field, use .val instead of .html
 $('#slug').val(data);

A: I have something to share that may help you.
Where to use:
use .html() to operate on containers having html elements.
use .text() to modify text of elements usually having separate open and closing
            tags

Where not to use:
.text() method cannot be used on form inputs or scripts.
    .val() for input or textarea elements.
    .html() for value of a script element.

Picking up html content from .text() will convert the html tags into html
entities.

Difference:
.text() can be used in both XML and HTML documents.
.html() is only for html documents.

County contributes $2.5 million to USA stadium
Posted by Jason Johnson | Oct 23, 2018 | Latest, News | 1 |
Mobile County will be contributing to the University of South Alabama's campaign for an on-campus football stadium by putting $2.5 million into an academic center for student-athletes.
The contribution will secure the naming rights to the facility, which will be called the Mobile County Center for Academic Success.
Two of three Mobile County Commissioners approved the contribution this week, though all were supportive. In a statement, Commission President Connie Hudson said the contribution was a "great opportunity to support the student-athletes in all sports at USA."
"The 7,800-square-foot facility provides the resources for student-athletes to excel academically," she added. "We are proud of our partnership with USA and this investment in education here in Mobile County."
The contribution is a fraction of the combined $20 million in public money USA initially solicited from the city of Mobile and the county. Currently estimated to cost around $72 million, USA sought a contribution from the city to help pay down the debt service on construction.
However, those plans fell apart over the summer after the Mobile City Council rejected a plan submitted by Mayor Sandy Stimpson that would have seen the city contributing $500,000 per year for 20 years in exchange for the university's help renovating and downsizing Ladd-Peebles Stadium.
Since then, USA has unveiled a major fundraising effort called Get On Campus and is currently offering "investment opportunities" to public and private entities that want to fund specific components of the stadium's construction.
With its $2.5 million contribution, Mobile County became USA's largest investor so far.
Despite the fundraising hurdles, USA President Tony Waldrop said the stadium is still on track to open in time for the Jaguars' 2020 football season. He said USA remains engaged with other potential investors and hopes the county's contribution will motivate others.
"I think it's a positive sign the commissioners have agreed to support this," Waldrop said following the vote. "This is really supporting the scholar part of the scholar-athlete, and many of those students that will be studying in this facility come from Mobile County."
USA Athletics Director Joel Erdmann told reporters the center will "centralize all academic support services" in one place and will include space for counselors' offices, study areas, computer labs, tutoring rooms for individuals and study groups.
While it will be housed in the new football stadium, the Mobile County Center for Academic Success will be open to all of the 400-plus student-athletes in all 17 Division I sports at USA.
"It's a statement about how we value academics in our athletic department," Erdmann said. "We want to make the proper impression and declare what our priorities are."
While the contribution will go toward an athletic facility, Commissioner Merceria Ludgood said, "for many students, athletics is their path to higher education and, ultimately, self-sufficiency."
"USA's commitment to its student-athletes provides educational opportunities to our entire region and beyond," Ludgood added. "The county's contribution is an investment in the young adults who will lead our community."
Since it launched Aug. 31, USA's Get on Campus initiative has raised more than $314,000 from 155 donors. Erdmann also encourages all of "Jaguar Nation" to stay informed and engaged with USA's efforts to build its first on-campus stadium and to support it "at whatever level they can."
More information about those fundraising efforts can be found at getoncampus.com.

Q: Updating website pages I have been looking for this simple question for a while. If I have 5 pages with say 5 images, how do I put new content on the first page and have the images on that page continue on to the next page and so on. That way I can keep 5 images on the page. I really don't want to manually move every image to the next page. (I'm trying to ask about pagination but at the time I was clueless.)
Edit:
This was my first question ever on stack overflow and reading it back a couple years later is quite embarrassing. On a side note its kind of fun to see how far I've come as I have now built a website with hundreds of pages using pagination.

A: If you talking about static pages(like those stored on your hard drive) that just use HTML,CSS and JavaScript then unfortunately this can't be done.If you are using dynamic page generation using server side technologies like  PHP,ASP.NET or JAVA etc then its a child's play.
Since you didn't specify any server side language i highly doubt that's the case.

The Creatures | Feast
On May 15th, 1983, Feast the debut album by The Creatures was released. The project comprised of both Siouxsie Sioux and Budgie of Siouxsie and the Banshees, who had released their Wild Things EP released two years prior to Feast during the recording sessions for the Banshees album Juju.
Siouxsie and Budgie took an unconventional path in their decision on where to record the album by randomly placing a pin on a map of the world, and suspiciously ended with their location being Hawaii. This inspired songs such as "Festival of Colours" and "A Strutting Rooster", and "Inoaʻole" is Hawaiian for "no name".
Not unlike The Normal's "Warm Leatherette" The single "Miss the Girl" is inspired by the book Crash, by J. G. Ballard.

Q: llvm make copy without mapping I'm making an optimization pass to replace existing function with duplicate function with one less argument.
Duplicate function is made by initializing with Function::Create with one less argument, and using CloneBasicBlock to copy every block of existing function. Printing out seems to be fine, but "Referring to an argument in another function!" error is caused.
Document on CloneBasicBlock describes "The block returned is an exact copy of the specified basic block, without any remapping" which seems to be the cause, but I can't find the solution to the problem.
I tried to look through llvm documents on module, function, functionType, ValueMapper, and some others but couldn't get the answer. Making the module work as explicitly visible on printout is what I intend.
Below is the code after change obtained from F.getParent() printout, with error below. I'm converting use of call on @0 to @use_few_register.

Below is the relevant part of the code
Value* arg1 = dyn_cast<Value>(F.getArg(0));
  Value* arg2 = dyn_cast<Value>(F.getArg(1));
  ValueToValueMapTy VMap;
  auto *I64Ty = Type::getInt64Ty(Context);

  vector<Type*> ArgTypes;
  ArgTypes.push_back(I64Ty);

  FunctionType *ftype = FunctionType::get(F.getFunctionType()->getReturnType(), ArgTypes, false);
  Function *func = Function::Create(ftype, F.getLinkage());
  func->copyAttributesFrom(&F);
  func->takeName(&F);
  F.getParent()->getFunctionList().push_back(func);

  for (auto &Arg : func->args()){
    Arg.setName("merged"); //testing on one Arg only
  }

  for (auto &BB : F){
    auto *clone = CloneBasicBlock(&BB, VMap);
    func->getBasicBlockList().push_back(clone);
  }

  Instruction* X = BinaryOperator::Create(Instruction::AShr, func->getArg(0), ConstantInt::get(func->getArg(0)->getType(), 32), "tmp1");
  Instruction* Y = BinaryOperator::Create(Instruction::And, func->getArg(0), ConstantInt::get(func->getArg(0)->getType(), 4294967295), "tmp2");
  Instruction* X_trunc = CastInst::Create(Instruction::Trunc, X, arg1->getType(), arg1->getName());
  Instruction* Y_trunc = CastInst::Create(Instruction::Trunc, Y, arg2->getType(), arg2->getName());

  Y_trunc->insertBefore(&func->getEntryBlock().front());
  X_trunc->insertBefore(Y_trunc);
  Y->insertBefore(X_trunc);
  X->insertBefore(Y);

  return func;

Any advice or suggestion on relevant document/ approach would be appreciated

A: Your problem is that CloneBasicBlock does precisely what its name suggests, and you want something slightly different: You want a clone that is identical in most respects, but different in two: When the original refers to an argument or basic block in the original function, you want the clone to refer to an argument or basic block in the copy.
Your best option is perhaps to look at how CloneBasicBlock() is implemented and write something like it, but with an extra loop that calls getOperand() to consider each operand of each instruction, and does if(isa<Argument>(…){…} elsif(isa<BasicBlock>(…){…} to treat those appropriately. You'll probably also need slightly special treatment of phi nodes.


For some reason none of the videos seem to include any links or documents below them. From the videos it seems like they should however?
All the links and documents (bar one I'm waiting on for step 1) should be there as of yesterday.
We are having a couple of issues with our document system but that should be fixed today, but I've also added in the links to the documents in google drive aswell.
Let me know if you discover any more that are missing.

Persistence of airway obstruction and hyperresponsiveness in subjects with asthma remission
Chest. 1994 Apr;105(4):1024-31. doi: 10.1378/chest.105.4.1024.
L P Boulet 1 , H Turcotte, A Brochu

DOI: 10.1378/chest.105.4.1024
This study was designed to determine if there is residual airflow obstruction and/or airway hyperresponsiveness in adults with symptomatic asthma remission, and if age at remission or its duration influence these parameters. We studied 30 subjects, (20 men, 10 women, 28 atopics, aged 18 to 61 years; mean, 32 years) with a history of asthma (mean duration, 2 to 33 years) but who reported no symptoms or medication requirement for > or 2 years. They were individually matched for age, sex, and atopy, to a control group of 30 subjects without history of asthma. Each subject had a respiratory questionnaire and measurements of expiratory flows, lung volumes, and bronchodilator response. Morning/evening peak expiratory flow rates (PEFRs) were recorded for a 2-week period and two methacholine inhalation tests were obtained on separate days. Initial FEV1 and FVC for ex-asthmatics (controls) were, respectively, 91.0 +/- 2.5 percent and 97.8 +/- 2.3 percent (104.1 +/- 1.9 and 104.0 +/- 1.8 percent) of predicted values. Twenty nine ex-asthmatics (15 controls) had occasional respiratory symptoms, not attributed to asthma. Most subjects with asthma remission had evidences of mild airflow obstruction, associated to a methacholine response either increased in 11 (PC20 methacholine, 0.18 to 5.6 mg/ml) or "borderline" in 10 others (PC20 between 8 and 20 mg/ml). Airway responsiveness was normal (PC20 > 20 mg/ml) in 8 ex-asthmatics and in 21 controls (PC20 was under 8 mg/ml and between 10 and 20 mg/ml in, respectively, 5 and 4 controls). Mean reversibility of FEV1 after 200 micrograms of albuterol was 5.7 (range, -1.1 to 14.1 percent) compared with 2.5 (-4.4 to 10.5) in controls. Mean and maximal diurnal variation of PEFR were, respectively, 4.6 +/- 0.4 percent and 12.3 +/- 1.3 percent (controls, 2.9 +/- 0.3 and 7.0 +/- 0.8 percent). There was a significant correlation between PC20 and age at the diagnosis of asthma or at the onset of remission. Airway responsiveness was significantly less when asthma or remission of asthma occurred at a younger age, although there was no difference for baseline FEV1 and no significant correlation between PC20 and duration of asthma or of remission. Perception of bronchoconstriction was similar in both controls and ex-asthmatics. In conclusion, most ex-asthmatics who considered to be in asthma remission showed a persistent increase in airway responsiveness with or without mild airflow obstruction, suggesting that symptom report may be insufficient to determine that asthma is in true remission.

riding the bus and jazz hands in the swimming pool – teamgloria, inc.
Posted on March 3, 2012 March 3, 2012 by teamgloria in places.
so we took the bus back downtown after therapy, swimming, and picking up some replacement wardrobe basics (yes, stretchy-black-manhattan-executive-yet-vaguely-60s-silhouette-fabric-ness) for PARIS (red eye, monday night – Can't Wait).
the bus is great for people watching (attractive teutonic tourists with actual maps in Moncler) as is the swimming pool, on a saturday lunchtime – Who Knew?!
Jazz-er-cise was Taking Place in the slow and medium (merged) lanes.
All jazz hands, noodles/brightly-hued-polystyrene-tubing, resistance-training (whatever that is) and Pumping the Air to a Vibrant soundtrack of Michael Jackson and other greatest hits of the discotheque circa 1975. Don't stop til you get enough and more, baby.
The teacher was GLORIAous. – a former dancer/breakdancer/clubKid with fearsome moves "MOVE IT, LOLA!" in his probably important vintage sneakers/plimsolls/sportsfootwear and – hold your breath love – an Arena t-shirt – yes, The classic night-decadence-club of its day. Wow.
The Palladium was converted from a music venue into a nightclub by Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager, and they hired Danceteria DJ Richard Sweret who saw the possibility of a much larger audience for a downtown 'New Wave music', Euro and house music oriented club. From its celebrity-studded opening in May 1985, through the end of the 80s it was one of the major features on a vibrant New York club scene. The club was a mainstay on the New York club scene until it was bought out in 1998 by New York University (NYU) and demolished for a campus housing project.
Junior Vasquez's Arena party, held Saturday nights and Sunday mornings at Palladium between September 1996 and September 1997, was one of the most popular parties in the New York club scene at the time. Although the promoters billed Arena as "The Gay Man's Pleasure Dome," the party drew an eclectic mix of gay and straight from Manhattan and far beyond. Vasquez commemorated Arena in the titles of the remixes he produced that year.
We're riding the bus for free.
Our metrocard had run out and our look of Pure Defeat and possible mascara-tinted-tears due to immigration stress did the driver in – "get in, lady" he said, jerking his head to the back of the bus.
We smiled, softly, gratefully and reveled in a moment of kindness in a big cRaZy city like NYC.
Previous Post we took our sadness to tea at the St Regis Hotel on 5th Avenue……..
I have never ever heard of anyone getting a free (sanctioned) bus ride in New York. Wow!
Great clobber, great clubbing, great kindness and great day.
what a great city you have.

Sources within the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League and the Superior International Junior Hockey League have confirmed that talks and plans are in development for a limited inter-league schedule.
Although all details have yet to be worked out, including approval from USA Hockey and Hockey Canada, at least one showcase and possibly a few regular season games will be played.
The suggestion is that the NOJHL teams in South Western Ontario will play against the Eastern most SIJHL teams.
The NOJHL will feature six teams in the 2012 season after loosing the Soo Eagles to the NAHL, yet gaining the Elliot Lake Bobcats from the GMHL. The SIJHL will be returning seven teams for the 2012 season, including three located in the United States.
Such a plan would apprear to be very progressive in design for both leagues and would certainly benefit the players and their exposure.

Do I need to have my building plans drawn by a licensed architect?
The Architect Practice Act defines exempt buildings or structure in Business and Profession Code Section 5537 as follows:
This does not prohibit any person from preparing plans, drawing, or specifications for any of the following:
Single-family dwellings of wood frame construction not more that two stories and basement in heights.
Multiple dwellings containing no more than four dwelling units of wood frame construction not more that two stories and basement in heights. However this paragraph shall not be construed as allowing an unlicensed person to design multiple clusters of up to four dwelling units each to form apartment or condominium complexes where the total exceeds four units on any lawfully divided lot.
Garages or other structure appurtenant to buildings, described under subdivision (a), of wood frame construction not more that two stories and basement in height.
Agricultural and ranch building of wood frame construction, unless the building official having jurisdiction deems that an undue risk to the public health, safety or welfare is involved.
If any portion of any structure exempted by this section deviates from substantial compliance with conventional framing requirements for wood frame construction found in the more recent edition of Title 24 of the California Code of Regulation or table of limitation for wood frame construction, as defined by the applicable building code duly adopted by the local jurisdiction or the state, the building official having jurisdiction shall require the preparation of plans, drawings, specification, or calculations for that portion by or under the direct supervision of, a licensed architect or registered engineer. The documents of that portion shall bear the stamp and signature of the licensee who is responsible for their preparation. Substantial compliance for purposes of this section is not intended to restrict the ability of the building officials to approve plans pursuant to existing law and is only intended to clarify the intent of Chapter 405 of the Statutes of 1985.
1. How large a building can I construct before a permit is required?
One-story detached accessory buildings used as tool and storage sheds, playhouses, and similar uses do not require a building permit provided the floor area does not exceed 120 square feet.

The MKG began to collect and display photography from the late 19th century. It was one of the first German museums to do so. Today the collection comprises well over 75.000 works. At a time when photography was considered a means of recording rather than art, the MKG recognised this new medium's importance and laid the foundation for a continuously expanding photography collection of objects and architecture. Today its collection also includes photographs of fashion, photographic journalism and artist photography. The collection records photography's stylistic and technical development. Starting with the Daguerreotype of the 19th century to the manual printing methods of the 20th century and the early colour photography of the 1930s the works held by the MKG illustrate the history of photography up to digital photography of the present day. In 1916/1917 the collection was considerably extended with the acquisition of the Juhl collection of internationally famous art photographs of the early 20th century. Together with Fritz Kempe's (1909-1988) collection on the history of photography it forms the historical nucleus of the photography department. From 1980 until 1996 the "Verein der Freunde der Fotografie im Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe" made important donations and acquisitions, thereby extending the collection continuously. In 1991 Prof. F. C. Gundlach (*1926) boosted the collection of fashion photography with his donation "Stiftung ModeWelten". The high photosensitivity of the majority of the works makes them unsuitable for long-term exhibition. Therefore the photographic collection of the MKG is regularly presented in special exhibitions.

' :     INSIDE THE ENERGY CRISIS:     ""
WHY 3.   WORTH OF GAS COSTS YOU 40.
by Roger Rapoport
,   .-Pacific News  Seryice/LIBERATION News  Service
►   [Editor's note:    The oil companies are heralding a dry summer this year — gas-wise  that is.
Mobil,  for example,  has begun a radio campaign encouraging people to form car pools as one way to
cut down on individual gasoline consumption.
It is all well and good for the oil companies
to push car pools and fewer spins around the lake
in that high-powered motor-boat. Certainly America would do well to reexamine its gluttonous use
of gasoline (and other energy sources) which radically depletes American and world-wide natural
But check into it,  and you'll find that the
"energy crisis" is,  at this point,  an elaborate
scheme designed in  large part by the oil men themselves — as this story shows. ]
SAN FRANCISCO (LNS) -- It seems like the oil
industry is running out of tigers for your tanks.
Major firms like Standard Oil of California have
announced rationing; hundreds of gas less stations
nationwide have been forced to close. And gloomy
oil company spokesmen say (energy-crisis gasoline,
'currently hovering around 40$ a gallon, may soon
be    up  to 55$.
That's bad news  for motorists,   of course, but
a blessing to major oil  companies  like  California
Standard who expect to continue producing about
70% of their California gasoline at the  current
3$  a gallon  level.
The story of how 3,-a-gallon gasoline ends up
costing consumers more than  13 times  its manufacturing price is  one  of those  fascinating economic
miracles   that helps explain why first-quarter profits  for the nation's   721 petroleum corporations
are 24%  ahead of last year's  first quarter.     The
"energy crisis" allows  oil companies to push up
their prices while production costs  remain remarkably low.
The best showings have been made by large
integrated companies  like Atlantic-Richfield, Marathon,  and Sun, with 29 to 50 percent first-''
quarter profit gains.    Typically,   California Standard's  first-quarter profits soared from $123 million in  1972 to $152.8 million this year.
These soaring profits  are based on petroleum
industry economics unfamiliar to most Americans.
California Standard,   the nation's  fifth largest
oil company,  is  a good example,    The firm draws the
major share of its Californial crude oil supply
from its  own wells  located inside the state.
It costs  the  company roughly 75$ to draw an
average barrel of crude oil  from its  California
wells,  says Christopher Rand,  a former Standard
executive.    Robert Custer,  a process engineer with
Bechtel Corporation,  one of Standard's contractors,
adds that the company then pays another 50$ to
refine a 42-gallon barrel of gasoline.    This means
that the  company can produce  and refine  42 gallons
of gase for $1.25,  or about 3| a gallon,
PAGE 6 LIBERATION News  Service
This  same gasoline is then marked up as much
as  800% and wholesaled for 20$ to 24$ a gallon.
The dealer adds a 5.   to 6$ markup,  and tacks on
13$ tax, making the California pump price  38$ to
43$ a gallon.
Given these enormous profits it seems hard to
understand why California Standard and other major
oil companies across the.country would let the energy crisis happen. Why didn't they expand production, drill new wells and build new refineries,
to capitalize on the growing demand for gas?
Environmental pressure in this  country has
made developing new domestic oil sources very expensive and sometimes impossible.    Arid while foreign oil is  available,  that is not where the biggest profits  are.     So the oil companies  are holding
off until they can get government concessions  --
relaxed pollution control, more tax credits, new
offshore oil-drilling leases  — that will allow them
to sink their drills where the profits  are greatest.
Christopher Rand, who worked for Standard's
public relations and executive staff between 1966
and 19 68,  says  that "Like all big integrated companies,  Standard's manufacturing of refined products
is geared toward maximizing its own cheap sources
of crude oil."
Rand,  who has  also worked for Occidental Petroleum,   Bechtel,  and the Petroleum Industry Newsletter in New York,   California,  and the Middle East,
adds :
"In California the company prefers  to refine
inexpensive  crude oili from its own wells of those
of competitors who trade off cheap supplies in exchange  for Standard production in other parts of
the country.     Roughly 70% of its California crude
oil  comes  from these inexpensive sources,  averaging
about 75$ a barrel,
"When the California crude oil runs out they
have to supplement it with expensive imports  costing $2.25  a barrel, more  than three times  the  local
oil.    Thus  construction of new refineries would
force them to buy more of the  less  lucrative foreign
imports.
"True,  they still make  a profit on these imports, but it's  substantially less  than what they
earn off their own crude oil.    Of course,  as  a major
Middle Eastern concessionaire they have access to
virtually unlimited supplies of oil in Saudi Arabia
and the Persian Gulf,
"One known Saudi Arabian field has  80 billion
barrels  of oil,  about as much as the United States
has  consumed in its  entire history.     But the  company has not been interested in taking advantage of
this  oil to supply its American refineries because
import quotas would have reduced profits."
Rand, who lives  in Kensington,  California, where
he is  currently working on a book about the oil
industry, says,  "While Standard does  import Middle
Eastern oil,  it is not bringing in enough even to       ._,
head off the energy crisis.
"There's good reason for this.    By keeping
imports  and refinery capacity below demand,  Fît*1.a
Standard and other major companies helped to   ,

Many Americans argued with the school board that the separation of schools was contrary to the 1894 treaty, which did not explicitly address education, but indicated that the Japanese would obtain equal rights in America. According to the U.S. Supreme Court review decisions (Plessy v. Ferguson, 1896), a state did not violate the equality clause of the U.S. Constitution by imposing racial segregation as long as the various institutions are essentially equal. Tokyo newspapers have denounced segregation as an insult to Japanese pride and honour. The Japanese government wanted to protect its reputation as a world power. Government officials became aware of the crisis and intervention was needed to maintain diplomatic peace. [9] A gentlemen`s agreement or gentleman`s agreement is an informal and non-binding agreement between two or more parties.
It is usually oral, but it can be written or simply understood as part of a tacit agreement by convention or by mutually beneficial label. The essence of a gentlemen`s agreement is that it depends on the honour of the parties for its achievement, rather than being enforceable in one way or another. It differs from a legal agreement or a contract. A gentleman`s agreement, defined at the beginning of the 20th century as "an agreement between gentlemen who looks at price control," has been described by one source as the most lax form of a "pool." [4] Such agreements have been declared in all industrial sectors and are numerous in the steel and steel industry. [4] In the automotive industry, Japanese manufacturers have agreed that no standard vehicle would have more than 276 hp (206 kW; 280 hp); The agreement ended in 2005. [6] German manufacturers limit the maximum speed of high-performance sedans (berlines) and breaks to 250 km/h. [7] [9] When the Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle exceeded 310 km/h in 1999, fears of a European ban or regulatory intervention led Japanese and European manufacturers to limit to 300 km/h at the end of 1999[10] See list of the fastest series bikes. Gentlemen`s agreements were a widespread discriminatory tactic, which would have been more common than restrictive alliances to maintain the homogeneity of upper-class neighborhoods and suburbs in the United States. [17] The nature of these agreements made it extremely difficult to prove or follow them, and they were long after the U.S. Supreme Court decisions in Shelley/. Kraemer and Barrows v.
Jackson. [17] A source indicates that the gentlemen`s agreements are "probably still in place" but that their use has declined sharply.

I know someone who needs help!
The future of Sydney's only crisis refuge for young girls is looking brighter than ever, after the completion of major renovations by The Sebastian Foundation's charity for children and families.
Guy and Jules Sebastian opened new premises at The Girls' Refuge in Sydney's inner-west in late 2016, as part of the Foundation's campaign to help children and families by focusing on reducing domestic violence.
The renovations include a new kitchen, lounge room and dining area made possible by generous donations from Freedom Kitchens, Sony, Tiler by Trade, Precise Flooring and Horsley Industries.
"One of The Sebastian Foundation's major focusses is supporting programs just like The Girls' Refuge. The way they help young girls in their time of need is extraordinary," Jules Sebastian said today.
"We're proud to unveil the kitchen, lounge and dining renovation and hope it inspires others in the community to do their part for their local shelter," Guy Sebastian said.
Roxanne McMurray, spokeswoman for SOS Women's Services, said the renovationswould allow the refuge to help young girls in crisis for many years to come.
"The refuge is a safe haven for young girls aged between 13 and 17 and is the onlyremaining crisis refuge for young girls in Sydney. It takes care of some of the most vulnerable children in our community in a home-like environment, and thanks to the Sebastian Foundation their home now looks better than ever.
