Mrs Beeton
Mrs. Beeton was born Isabella Mary Mayson in 1836. She married the publisher Samuel Orchard Beeton when she was 20, and within eight months of her marriage she was editing both the cookery and the household columns of her husband's Englishwoman's Domestic Magazine. It was at Sam Beeton's suggestion that she began collecting recipes for a book on household management. The first instalment of The Book of Household Management was published in 1859, and the rest followed in monthly intervals. She was just 25 when she finished the book. Only the first and second editions of 1861 and 1863 were wholly her work and they form the basis of The Shorter Mrs. Beeton published by Sheldrake Press, revealing the youth and freshness of the original. She died of puerperal fever a week after the birth of her fourth child, at the age of 28.

Frances Bissell
Frances Bissell made a dramatic entrance into the world of cookery when, in 1983, she entered and won an Observer competition for the best dinner party menu to accompany Mouton Cadet wines. The contest brought her immediate recognition and, at the suggestion of Jane Grigson, she used the personal food diaries she had kept for over a decade as material for A Cook's Calendar, published by Chatto and Windus. A further book, The Pleasures of Cookery, epitomizes the approach to food that has made Frances Bissell such a popular author. Winner of the Glenfiddich Award for Cookery Writer of the Year and the first woman chef to become a member of the Académie Culinaire de France, she is now the author of nine books including Frances Bissell's West Country Kitchen, The A-Z of Food and Wine, Modern Classics and Entertaining.

Where do you find alternate skin colors? I got into this to do fantasy pics, but so far have not bee able to find colors beyond normal ethnicity. Think World of Warcraft colors and the like.
Also, what about alternate skin textures?
There are some in the store. Just need to look through them. Or you could make your own if you have any 2D skills by modifying textures you already have.
There are even fewer alternative skin types, like scales or what not, but they can be found too. While some can be found here you can diversify your results by looking elsewhere.
Also look at characters that are unique, they come with skins often enough. Even if you don't like the character shape, if you like the texture it may be worth the purchase.
Sickleyield has various colorful skin textures over at Renderosity. I don´t have them because I did not need them yet, but I remember seeing a blue one, orange one and red one from her, maybe even more.
Yep, SY has at least 3 over there. And there are a few other vendors as well.
From the looks of things, it appears that you have to get other characters to get the skins. I did pick up Lillith for V4 bundle on a recent Fast Grab sale. I thought there might be some sort of tool you could get and click on a color to change the skin color. Kind of like Paint or PS, I'm guessing that's what you meant about the 2D skills. Or something standalone (not with a character) in the Textures and Skin maps store.
Yes, most of them come as characters...but, once you have the skin textures, they can be applied to any character morph that uses the same base or the same UV mapping.
So with Lilith, her skin texture can be used on any V4 character/morph or on Genesis with the V4 UV mapping. It could also be used on M4 if you switch M4 to use the V4 UV maps...or K4, etc.
Scott, I tried what you said (after I found the settings) and I think that is what I was looking for, for the skin colors. Now I just have to find a color cookbook to dial in the ones I want. Also, when I tried it, it only applied to a region (the face in this case) is there a way to do the whole body, then adjust individual parts?
As far as textures go, I will have to check your suggestions.
You can select these as a bunch and apply the color, then select them one at a time to adjust individual parts.
This tutorial is on a different (slightly related) topic, but the screenshot shows how to find all these surface regions: http://rawart3d.deviantart.com/art/Sub-Surface-Scattering-in-DS-306744678 And it's a good tutorial, too!
He comes with red, green, blue, gray, and white skin color options, and the skins can be used on other characters, too.
LOL, I actually picked up Mr Hype during one of the holiday sales. I thought his colored skins would only fit him though. I never tried to apply them to an other characters.
I found some color charts. I think I can dial in the skin color I'm looking for with the chart and diffuse color option. When I'm adjusting the diffuse setting, which color is which? Is it R - G - B?
Thanks for the SSS tutorial link. That was something else I was looking for. I was starting to think you had to have Poser to get realistic looking skin.

Can Amnesties and International Justice be Reconciled?
Louise Mallinder
When states are attempting to recover from periods of serious human rights abuse, they often must try to reconcile the competing demands of different stakeholders. These demands may range from claims that complete impunity is a necessary sacrifice to achieve peace, to the belief that without justice no meaningful peace can be reached. This paper will attempt to highlight the ways in which international courts and quasi-judicial bodies address the dilemma of peace versus justice, in relation to amnesty laws. The discussion will consider the main international standards on impunity, the international jurisprudence relating to amnesties and whether international courts should recognize amnesties that are accompanied by alternative forms of justice. This paper will argue that international courts should recognize amnesties that are introduced with democratic approval to promote peace and reconciliation, provided that they are accompanied by mechanisms to fulfil the victims' rights.

It's important to observe that the secret relies in
cos(n*x)

where n is the number of petals you want. But note that when n is odd, you will end up with n petals, and 2n petals when n is even. If somebody could improve the code, it would be great. :)
Update: tohecz provided me an alternate plot which surely helps us here. Although he claims it's not a smooth curve, it's good enough for me. :)
Let's replace
cos(n*x)

by
abs(cos(n*x/2))

and voilà!

The first step to admission is to have a tour of the school. You may call (814.866.3760) or email (info@montessoriinthewoods.org) the office to schedule a tour. Observations and tours take place between 9:30 and 11:30 AM. Application materials will be provided at the time of the tour.
To register, an application form must be filled out and submitted with a one-time fee of $50.00 (checks are payable to Montessori In The Woods). The application fee is non-refundable and does not apply to tuition. Each child must apply prior to enrollment. In the event we cannot offer immediate enrollment, your child will be placed on a waitlist.
We enroll children continuously throughout the year. An enrollment contract must be completed each year for each child, including a $100.00 deposit, which holds the child's space in the program. This deposit is non-refundable, but will be credited towards tuition.
To assist young children in making the transition from home to school we introduce them gradually to the Montessori environment over several weeks.
For new toddlers, we start with a week of one-hour days (9:00- 10:00 AM), followed by a week of two-hour days (9:00 – 11:00 AM), and finally regular three hour days. Parents and caregivers will be asked to remain onsite during the phase-in period.
For new preschoolers, we start with a week of one-hour days (9:00- 10:00 AM), followed by a week of two-hour days (9:00 – 11:00 AM), and finally regular three hour days. The use of carpool (curbside) drop off and pick up is encouraged.
For kindergarten students, we start each new school year gradually having them come in 9:00 AM to 12:00 noon for the first week. Starting the second week they come in for the full extended day, 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM Monday – Thursday, and 9:00 AM to 12:00 noon on Fridays.
There are several interest-free payment plans available. Please inquire for further information and payment schedules.
Available for all students before and after school from 7:30AM-5:30PM Monday-Friday, except for school holidays and breaks.
We call this childcare "All Day Montessori" because the children are with Montessori trained guides all day, and in their Montessori environments no matter what time they arrive or stay until.
All Day Montessori is billed separately from tuition at an hourly rate of $6.50/hr for preschool and Kindergarten, and $7.00/hr for toddlers.
Upon admission, each family is required to sign a fundraising contract, agreeing to raise $300 during the school year for Montessori In The Woods. Direct donations to the school are accepted. As an alternative, families may volunteer with the school to reduce their fundraising obligation.
There is a limited amount of money available for scholarships. Montessori In The Woods awards scholarships based on the availability of funds and family need. It is our policy to assist as many families as possible with partial scholarships; full scholarships are not available. Please contact the office for more information.
Child Care Information Services of Erie County is an agency that offers parents resource and referral services to connect them with child care arrangements in their communities. The CCIS also provides information to parents about whether they are eligible for help in paying their child care costs. Montessori In The Woods works in conjunction with CCIS to help eligible families pay for childcare.
Erie's CCIS is located at 155 West 8th Street Suite # 316.
They can be reached by phone at (814)451-6580.

For all the beer lovers, a Craft Beer Festival will take place in the Old Market in Bratislava from 18th to 20th April. The festival is already a tradition among the beer enthusiasts – last year 80 small breweries presented around 400 different kinds of beer. Each brewery will for the first time offer at least one premiere of its new beer, that you didn't get the chance to try in Slovakia before. Degustation from special beer glasses, discussions with the beer makers and distributors in a fantastic atmosphere, where the time stops. And with beer goes a good meal, so the Street Food Festival will take place in front of the square right before the Old Market. Great food, top beers, and an unforgettable atmosphere are just the right combination to say fair well to the winter and to salute the spring. And for those who like to know the theory of beer, the Craft Beer Talks will be held 3 days before the Festival (from 15th to 17th April) in different venues of Bratislava. The themed evening with a free entry will cover different beer themes, for all those hungry for knowledge.

Why Trump Will Win
Izzo Zwiren
In the most recent Democratic primary debate, the country was treated to the underlying reason as to why Donald Trump will be winning the 2020 presidential election. But I am getting ahead of myself. Let's start with the comparison of the two major parties and where they stand with their constituents. Republicans are widely united in their support for President Trump. According to Gallup, throughout 2019 his approval ratings amongst Republicans have been reliably hovering around 90%. It's clear that it's not just Trump's base that likes his presidency so far, but the vast majority of the Republican Party, as well. Meanwhile, the highest favorability rating held by any Democratic candidate amongst Democrats is 75%, which is held by Bernie Sanders. Joe Biden is second at 72%, with Elizabeth Warren coming in third at 63%.
For a long time during the Obama Era, I heard the laments of Conservatives that there could never again be a white male Republican President. The racial divide in this country was too strong, and identity politics was now the new norm. In order for Republicans to take back some of the minority vote, they would have to nominate a minority. In 2016, the Republican field was saturated with such candidates. Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Ben Carson, and Carly Fiorina thought this, as well, but because the Republicans are much more interested in hearing about your ideas than your background, they never got a chance to play up these facts about themselves. It is my contention that if any of the aforementioned candidates was given the Republican nomination, you would have heard much more about that person's minority status in the general election. But they didn't win the nomination; an old white guy did. And he went on to disprove the notion that a white male will never again be elected from the Republican side.
So, obviously, that idea was only good for one presidency, and that is the actual issue for Democrats. As I've mentioned numerous times in this column, the Democrats pride themselves on the diversity in their party. The Democratic Party is divided into five sections: Party Loyalists, Socialist Left, Millennials, Black, and Hispanic. This results in the obvious diversity that Democrats crave, but it also presents a problem for nominated candidates. They have this extremely difficult task of unifying this inherently divided party. Barack Obama, a generational politician, was able to do this. Obama was uniquely likeable and was able to appeal to all of these groups. There is nobody left in the Democratic Party who can do this. Each of the candidates presents a major turnoff to at least one of these five groups. This all sums up to the new reality for Democrats: Unless you are an earth-moving personality, you can't win a general election.
And this was on full display during and after the most recent Democratic debate. During the debate, there was a clash between Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders regarding whether or not Sanders had said that a woman cannot win an election. Warren was adamant that it happened, while Sanders flat out denied it. Following the denial, CNN moderator Abby Phillip clearly dismissed the denial as false, and asked Warren how she felt when Sanders told her that a woman couldn't win. The fallout from this decision was felt immediately. Sanders supporters helped activate a Twitter war against CNN, where the #CancelCNN was trending.
After the debate, both candidates accused each other of calling the other a liar. Obviously, one of them had to be lying. Either Sanders said it or he didn't, but the spat, which was caught on a hot mic, caused some major damage to both candidates, in that it will be very difficult to gain backing from the other's supporters should they win the nomination. In the case of Sanders' supporters, they already have a bad taste in their mouths from the 2016 election, when the DNC was perceived to have backed Clinton, basically did whatever they could to make sure Sanders wasn't the nominee. Now, in 2020, it appears that this is happening again. In 2016, Sanders supporters had low turnout for Clinton, and she lost. It wouldn't surprise me if Sanders loses the nomination once again, his supporters don't show up once more, even if it's not Warren on the ticket.
This is the problem with telling a group of people that their concerns are the most important thing in the world. For years and years, millennials have been told that they are special, that they are valid – that they are perfect just the way they are. And now, the man whom they are backing is treated severely unfairly by their party. It wouldn't surprise me if they just stayed home. Minorities have likewise been told that society is just trying to keep them down, and now they understand that there wasn't a single minority on the stage in the final debate before the first primary. So the Democrats have cultivated a coalition by telling them that the Republicans aren't listening to their concerns, and that if they want a home, the Democratic Party is always going to be there. So now all but one of these coalitions are going to be upset if their guy doesn't win. There is no unifying figure on the ballots this time around. What you see is what you get. As it stands now, the only way a Democrat wins is if there is a contested convention and Michelle Obama throws her hat in there. She is the one unifying figure the Democrats have now, but she's not officially running yet.
As we stand today, the Democrats are in big trouble. They look to be losing the White House yet again, they don't look like they will be taking the Senate, and early indicators show that the House of Representatives is in trouble, as well. The Dems made the bed out of needles, and now they have to lie in it.

The Tongareva triple junction, also called the Pacific-Farallon-Phoenix triple junction, was a geologic triple junction in the southwestern Pacific Basin where three tectonic plates met: the Pacific Plate, the Farallon Plate, and the Phoenix Plate. It existed throughout the mid-Cretaceous period and consisted of three mid-ocean ridges. A volcanic episode from 125 to 120 million years ago created an oceanic plateau east of Samoa called the Manihiki Plateau.

Commoners reportes that his family "was of high station in the county of Devon, at a very remote period, (its name appearing in Doomsday Book" and "The English family has long since passed away". The first section below shows the little we have found so far on the English side of the family. The second section covers the Irish branch, the third covers a branch that went to Jersey "in very early times".


When Quezon City celebrated its foundation anniversary recently, the local government also formally opened a new feature of the memorial circle across city hall that is a shrine to the Commonwealth President of the Philippines, Manuel Luis Quezon, after whom the city is named.
Mayor Herbert Bautista wanted to make his city a green enclave and thought of starting with the Quezon Memorial Circle. The idea actually had been raised by members of the Cactus and Succulent Society (CSS), the Philippine Horticultural Society (PHS) and the Bonsai and Suiseki Association of the Philippines, Inc. with the previous administration.
The organizations officers, particularly Dorie Bernabe, had already asked, through city engineer Zaldy dela Rosa, who is in charge of QC Parks Development, for a permanent site where they could display show plants all year round. When Bautista raised the possibility of a flower garden for the circle, Bernabe presented anew the organizations' proposal. This time around, the proposal was accepted. The PHS and CSS each got several square meters of land for their projects.
The task of creating a desert garden fell on the indefatigable Serapion Metilla, a self-described promdi (street lingo for "from the provinces," meaning, a country bumpkin) who metamorphosed from public school teacher into an acknowledged plant artist and professor of Ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arrangement.
Metilla's task was daunting. Cacti need very little water and porous soil so no—or at least very little—moisture is retained.
It did not help that the project started in the middle of the typhoon season. As typhoon after typhoon battered the country and rains poured incessantly, Metilla toiled to create a virtual desert paradise, often finding the plot he was cultivating water-logged and muddy in the early days of the project.
The assignment would have disheartened much younger people. But not the 84-year-old Metilla.
To make the land suitable for the plants, gravel and sand were poured over the soil so the planting medium would not retain water.
The cactus garden is probably the only one of its kind in the country. "I have seen similar displays in other countries but they are in greenhouses or are shown for commercial purposes," Metilla said. His design has both an outdoor display and a greenhouse.
The CSS could not have chosen a better person for the job. Metilla seems to be at his most determined and innovative when the situation is highly challenging. In fact, it is this never-say-die attitude that has marked the remarkable life of this "transplant" from Davao.
constructed a modest school for what was initially a Grade I class.
Metilla combined classroom instruction and practicum. His class helped harvest palay and used what they earned to buy school essentials, went on picnics along the river and wrote about these for the language class.
He taught his pupils songs and folkdances and had them perform in barrio fiestas and social occasions not only to earn some money for school needs but also to teach them table manners and other social graces.
When he moved to Kamuning Elementary School in Quezon City, he again tried to give his students a well-rounded education, linking classroom instruction and real life, and allowing them to explore their interests. He organized a garden club, a dance troupe and a student government. As a member of the Philippine Art Educators' Association, he encouraged his pupils to participate in its exhibits.
As principal of the Constitution Hill Elementary School, he prodded home economics students to join a city-wide cooking contest, working with his home economics teacher to come up with a complete meal that cost only P7, an adequate sum then.
The meal consisted of kalabasa patties, tinapa, coconut milk, tulya and rice. The menu won first prize in the district and second in the city competition.
Metilla would quit, however, without reaching the mandatory age of retirement for public school teachers.
The pull of another passion, nurtured even before he became a teacher, had become too strong to resist. He decided to concentrate on his life-long fascination with plants, an interest sparked by a sister's own collection.
With his Kamuning boy scouts troop in tow, he "gate-crashed" shows of the University of the Philippines Garden Club, even picking up pointers on how to write press releases from Federico Mangahas, a club member.
Over the years, he mastered the art of Ikebana enough for him to earn the title of professor and developing different ways of turning plants into art works. He remains a very popular garden lecturer/teacher and is proud of the many students he has helped who have set up their own lucrative plant businesses.
On Sunday at 2 p.m., Metilla will once again don the hat of teacher when he gives a lecture on "Oxygen Therapy through Indoor Gardening for Healthy Living" at the close of the Philippine Orchid Society garden show at the QC Memorial Circle.


The Knoxville Fire Rescue Department conducts fire prevention activities every day. We are dedicated to stopping a fire before it happens. We accomplish this through community education and code enforcement.
The Knoxville Fire Rescue Department participates in the nationally recognized "Fire Prevention Week". Firefighters visit each of the grades to teach home safety and fire drill exercises. All students are given handouts for classroom participation and home activities for the kids and parents to practice together. Over 1,500 kids each year receive fire prevention training from the Knoxville Fire Rescue Department.
Home Escape is a new program offered by The Knoxville Fire Rescue Department. This program will be offered to all citizens of Knoxville. The program will be offered to any resident that would like to have their home inspected for fire hazards or life-safety issues. For more information, please contact the Fire Department at 641-828-0586.
Stop the holiday fire before it starts.
Do not place your Christmas tree close to a heat source, including a fireplace or heat vent. The heat will dry out the tree and it could catch fire by heat, flame, or sparks more easily.
When the tree becomes dry, remove it from your home right away. The best way to get rid of your tree is to take it to a recycling center or have it collected by a community pick-up service.
Check holiday lights each year for wires that are worn out or coming apart, bare spots, gaps in the insulation, broken or cracked sockets, and a lot of bends or twists in the wire.
Only use laboratory-tested lighting and extension cords.
Never overload outlets or extension cords. Connect strings of lights to an extension cord before plugging the cord into the outlet.
Do not leave lit holiday lights on unless someone is in the room.
Avoid using lit candles. If you do use them, make sure they are in stable holders and put them where they cannot be easily knocked over and start a fire.

Utah Community and Refugee Partnership Center serves refugees who have been forced to flee their countries because of armed conflict, ethnic cleansing, regime change, forced displacement, threats to themselves and their families, and other persecution. When they cross the border into another country, they may integrate into an urban area, or live in camps—sometimes for years, even decades, before a durable solution is found for them.
According to UNHCR, 68.5 million people are forcibly displaced worldwide, but less than 1% of the 68.5 million are resettled to the United States, Canada, Australia or Europe. (www.unhcr.org/en-us/figures-at-a-glance.html),(www.unhcr.org/en-us/resettlement-in-the-united-states.html). The United states used to admit about 70,000 refugees a year but during the present administration, the number of refugees admitted has dramatically declined.
On average, Utah welcomes 1,100 refugees each year. They bring skills, values, and attributes with them that make our communities vibrant and strong. While some refugees come with little education or formal job skills, others have obtained higher education and are experienced in their professional careers.
Utah is home to more than 60,000 refugees and are placed in Salt Lake County after they are resettled in Utah by the Catholic Community Services and the International Rescue Committee, where they receive case management services for 8 to 24 months.
After the government-funded refugee assistance program expires, refugees are expected to fend for themselves. UCRPC offers integration assistance beyond the government program and helps refugees relocate from Salt Lake County to other parts of Utah, where more resources are available to them. UCRPC has developed services and programs to ensure that refugee families can provide for their basic needs, including housing and healthcare, gainful employment, and education while they integrate into new communities.


Outdoor finishes have one thing in common; they all require maintenance. Of course, paint is unequaled at protecting the wood from its two biggest enemies: moisture and ultraviolet (UV) light. Moisture causes the wood to rot, and sunlight bleaches out its natural color. Still, who wants to cover-up beautiful wood with paint? If you want the wood to show through on your outdoor projects, you need a clear finish.
There are three basic clear finishes for outdoor furniture: exterior oil, exterior varnish, and an epoxy sealer with an exterior varnish topcoat. Application ease and service life are the two major differences between these finishes.
Of the three clear exterior finishes, exterior oil is by far the simplest finish to apply. Just flow it on, let it soak in and wipe off the excess. Unfortunately, oil offers the least amount of protection and it must be reapplied every season. Exterior varnish, on the other hand, is more difficult to apply: up to 8 coats have to be carefully brushed on. While exterior varnish offers excellent protection from moisture and UV light, it has to be recoated every few years to maintain that protection. An epoxy sealer with an exterior varnish topcoat is the most durable outdoor finish and can last for many, many years. However, the initial application does take longer then exterior varnish.
An exterior oil finish is definitely the simplest, quickest way to treat an outdoor project. On the downside, it will only give you about a year of protection from the ravages of outdoor life. Oil finishes don't provide a protective film that sits on top of the wood like varnish does. Instead oil soaks into the wood fibers and dries. Exterior oils have added trans-oxide pigments for UV protection and mildewcides to protect against mold and mildew. You'll find colors ranging from dark brown to light amber.
Application is simple: a garden sprayer and a rag are all you need. First, flood the surface of your project with oil. I use an inexpensive hand pump garden sprayer. Its fast, easy and only costs about $8.00. Let the oil soak in according to the manufacturer's directions, then wipe it off. That's it. Done! Depending on local conditions, you'll have to reapply about once per year. The built-in UV protection should keep your wood looking natural for many years (as long as you keep up with the applications).
Exterior varnish or urethane (both finishes are technically "varnishes") builds a protective layer over the wood. It offers superior protection and durability over an oil finish. Often, the term "Spar" is found in the name, but this does not indicate any additional or special ingredient. The term "Spar" originates with its use as a coating for the spars on sailing ships. All exterior varnishes are formulated to protect against moisture and UV radiation.
Exterior varnish is applied with a natural bristle brush in multiple coats. Manufacturers recommend eight thin coats for maximum protection and a deep lustrous finish. Sand the hardened varnish lightly between each coat.
Exterior varnishes cure to a more flexible film than ordinary varnish. The flexible coat is not as likely to crack from seasonal wood movement caused by humidity extremes in an outdoor environment.
Exterior varnish will usually last 2-3 years before it starts to look chalky. As soon as you see a chalky film start to develop, it's time to freshen the finish. Simply sand the topcoat smooth, and apply a new coat of varnish. Don't put this important maintenance step off too long or cracks will develop in the finish allowing moisture to penetrate and degrade the wood. That will necessitate a complete strip and refinish to restore the furniture. You don't want to go there.
An epoxy sealer with exterior varnish topcoats is the most durable, but also the most labor-intensive finish you can apply to outdoor furniture. This is the finish favored by boat builders so you know it's going to last a long time. Epoxy and exterior varnish enjoy a symbiotic relationship: The epoxy forms an impenetrable moisture barrier that prevents seasonal swelling and shrinking of the wood. This dimensional stability in turn gives longer life to the exterior varnish because it no longer has to stretch and shrink with the wood The exterior varnish returns the favor by providing UV protection, without which the epoxy would rapidly deteriorate.
Apply three thin coats of epoxy. The best way to get thin, even coats is to use a foam roller cut in half. It works kind of like a squeegee. Epoxy cure times vary depending on their formulation and the ambient temperature. Be sure to use an epoxy with a long enough open time (approximately 30 minutes), so it doesn't set up before you're done putting it on. For large projects, mix the epoxy in small batches so you can finish an area before the epoxy sets. Also, for optimal flow out and penetration into the wood fibers, make sure the epoxy you use doesn't contain any thickeners. Always read and follow the instructions that come with your epoxy. If possible, apply the epoxy undercoat prior to assembling the parts. You can recoat without sanding while the previous coat is still soft but not sticky. If the epoxy seems uneven or bumpy, allow it to harden. Then, sand it smooth and apply the next coat.
Before applying the varnish topcoats, I use a card scraper or sanding block with100 – 120 grit sandpaper to level the cured epoxy. The sanded surface also provides some tooth for the spar varnish to adhere to.
Rinse the sanded epoxy with clean water and dry with paper towels. The rinse water should not bead on the surface. Beading indicates that contaminants from the epoxy curing process are still on the surface and could interfere with the varnish bond. To remove the contaminants, wipe down with mineral spirits and dry with paper towels or a rag. Follow this with eight coats of exterior varnish, sanding lightly between coats.

"Human Frights" Theatre Piece
Human Frights - Theatre Piece
Auditorium, Maison de la Paix
Monday 5 November, 19:15 - 20:15
Don't miss this unique opportunity to see the world première of Human Frights, a multi-sketch, satirical revue about human rights and peace in our contemporary world.
Daniel Mpilo Richards
Mike van Graan
Daniel Mpilo Richards and Mike van Graan have worked together over the last three years in three satirical revues that have dealt with issues of corruption, gender and xenophobic violence, poor governance, land and other themes in contemporary South African political discourse. These revues - Pay Back the Curry, State Fracture and Land Acts - have earned multiple plaudits and awards around the country.
Human Frights adapts some of the sketches from these revues for an international audience, and particularly for Geneva Peace Week, where it will be performed for the first time.
This performance is free to attend, but places are limited, so make sure you register today!
Please note, we will also be showing another play of Mike Van Graan titled When Swallows Cry on Tuesday 6 November at 19:00.
Why Theatre?
The fault-lines inequality and culture are important contributing factors to a turbulent world. Inequality in economic, political, military and cultural power fuels conflicts at local, national, regional and international levels; while different value and belief systems, different ways of understanding the world and of making personal and group meanings within the world, further texture such conflicts.
To build sustainable peace, it is necessary to understand and mitigate the cultural dimensions of conflicts. Theatre is an important tool for the following reasons:
- Theatre presents human stories that impact an audience not only intellectually, but also emotionally and psychologically, emphasising the humanity and human bonds within our polarised world
- Through satire and the use of humour, uncomfortable messages may be conveyed in less alienating forms, inviting audiences to reflect on the provocations less defensively
- Theatre by itself cannot change the world, but it can help to change individual perspectives by present conflicting viewpoints and thus catalyse conversations and actions that contribute to change

Christine Blasey Ford's lawyer resigned from his law firm because partners objected to his decision to represent her
Molly Olmstead,
Sep. 27, 2018, 4:44 PM

During Thursday's Kavanaugh hearings, one of Christine Blasey Ford's lawyers, Michael Bromwich, stated that both her counsel are representing her pro-bono.
Bromwich also resigned from his law firm — he served as senior counsel at Robbins, Russell, Englert, Orseck, Untereiner & Sauber LLP — because some of the partners objected to his decision to represent Ford.
Bromwich, a Harvard Law graduate and former federal prosecutor, was known before this hearing for assisting the investigation of the Iran-Contra affair.
During Thursday's hearing, Rachel Mitchell, the Arizona prosecutor employed by the committee, pressed Ford on the nature of her legal representation, possibly in an attempt to portray her as being guided by more powerful Democrats looking out for the interest of the party. As Ford attempted to address the key points of Mitchell's questions, one of her lawyers jumped in. "Both of her counsel are doing this pro bono," Michael Bromwich told the committee. "We are not being paid. We have no expectation of being paid."
What Bromwich did not mention was that he not only was not being paid for his time representing Ford—he also left his job at a Washington law firm where he served as senior counsel.
According to Bloomberg, Bromwich, 64, resigned from Robbins, Russell, Englert, Orseck, Untereiner & Sauber LLP, as some of the partners at the firm had objected to his decision to represent Ford.
Bromwich, a Harvard Law graduate and former federal prosecutor, was known before this hearing for assisting the investigation of the Iran-Contra affair and, more recently, for representing former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, who was fired in March by Jeff Sessions two days before his scheduled retirement and for whom Bromwich helped crowdfund legal fees. According to Bloomberg, President Obama picked Bromwich to reform the offshore drilling regulations after the Deepwater Horizon spill in 2010.
Bromwich joined Ford's legal team late. The attorney sitting to her right at the hearing, Debra Katz, is known for her work representing sexual harassment and abuse victims.
Ford's appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee ended Thursday afternoon after Ford endured more than four hours of questioning about her allegation of being sexually assaulted by Brett Kavanaugh in the 1980s and the subsequent trauma. During the hearing, Democrats complained about Mark Judge's absence in the hearing, emphasized that the hearing should be seen as a job application rather than a trial, and praised Ford's bravery. Mitchell pressed Ford for details related to Ford's fear of flying, the logistics surrounding the party, her contacts with the press, and who paid for the polygraph test.
Ford, for her part, tried to clarify her account and correct any small errors she might have made in any previous statements. She also emphasized that she had come forward in an attempt to be helpful and at a time before Kavanaugh's nomination, when Trump could have chosen from other conservative judges.

Today, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a routinely performed surgical intervention. In certain cases, the identification of Calot's triangle may be difficult due to adhesions or inflammatory infiltrations of adjacent structures. Hydrodissection can allow for an atraumatic dissection but in more complex cases, an antegrade freeing of the gallbladder should be envisaged. Here we present the case of a man benefiting from a difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy for a pancreatitis with common bile duct stone migration. The flag technique, with an antegrade freeing, must be applied in order to complete the procedure laparoscopically.

American vs Delta 737 Transcon: Who Wins?
An American Airlines Boeing 737-800 – Photo: Jeremy Dwyer-Lindgren | JDLMultimedia
Recently, I had the chance to fly pretty similar flights from Seattle to Puerto Rico and back on Delta Air Lines and then American Airlines.
I had not flown on two domestic airlines back-to-back with so much the same, and I found there to be a pretty stark differences.
To San Juan, I took two Delta Boeing 737-900ERs with the newest interior (one was only a few weeks old). I flew from Seattle to Atlanta (shocking), then on to San Juan. On the way home, I took two American 737-800s. One had the Boeing Sky Interior cabin, but still shared entertainment screens. The second was an older 737-800, with no sky interior and also shared screens (but more on that later). I flew out of San Juan, through Miami, and then on to Seattle.

The cost of the tickets were exactly the same: $236 each way. I also earned Alaska Airlines miles for both flights, so I didn't care about miles on either, nor did I have any status [update: I did not realize that Delta only gave me 50% Alaska miles vs American's 100%. Still knowing this, it doesn't change any of my choices or opinions since I am not much of a miles guy]. I was also in window seats and had similar seat-mate setups.
I went into these flights with no expectation of doing a story, but the fact that on similar flights, there was an obvious winner, I became motivated. And yes, you will have to wait until the end to see which airline won — no cheating!
Boeing Relocates "Sim City" from Seattle to Miami

Miami is now Boeing's "Sim City," but Airchive's home base has been an aviation hub dating back to the early days of the industry. Hallowed names like Pan Am, National, Eastern, Glenn Curtis, Rich International, and Air Florida have played pivotal roles in the world's aviation industry from South Florida. OK, maybe that last name is a bit of a stretch.
Today, Miami boasts America's second-busiest international airport and number one international cargo airport – MIA, American Airlines' bustling Latin American hub, and the UPS hub of the Americas. Perhaps the most iconic name in aviation, Boeing joined South Florida's famed aviation industry in 1997 when they established a joint-venture with Flight Safety, FlightSafety Boeing Training International.
In 2002, Boeing bought out their partner. They join Airbus' Americas Training Center and the Pan Am Flight Academy (just purchased this week by Japan's ANA) in the little Miami suburb of Virginia Gardens, now home to one of the largest concentrations of flight simulators and commercial aviation training of any city in the world.

Much like the first season, the second starts off with a bang as two aircraft collide and the airport has to quickly come up with a solution. The incident causes issues as other aircraft are ready to depart but are unable to push back. The airport must figure out how to perform its investigation but also get the way quickly cleared to prevent more delays.
BONUS: Sneak peak of episode one of Airport 24/7: Miami season 2.

The second episode follows medical crews along after a bus tries to drive under an overpass that is too short, causing the top of the bus to be cut open. Glass and debris is scattered everywhere leaving 35 people scared and some quite injured. Emergency crews try to save them and also keep traffic from backing up and people from missing their flights.
The other main story goes into how customs makes a huge drug bust and talks about how they go on to destroy it following the investigation. While I would love to tell you what happens on these two episodes, you will have to tune in to find out yourself!
BONUS: Sneak peak of episode two of Airport 24/7: Miami season 2.

At the premier event we were lucky enough to get a visit from Customs and Border Patrol where we got to meet the airports Beagle Brigade that are trained to look for smuggled agriculture products and others animals. They easily stole almost everyone's attention after the viewing and quickly became the stars!
Having the show produced by a true AvGeek really shows. Chris Sloan, who also writes for AirlineReporter.com and runs Airchive.com, does a great job working with the others on the show to make the show factual for those who love airlines, but also interesting to those who might not (yes, there are people out there like that).

The show is fast pace and exhilarating. It is fascinating how it takes you behind the scenes and shows how the airport operates on a daily basis. This season is sure to please AvGeeks and anyone else that has an interest in to how an airport operates.

Three Airports, Three Days, Three Different Boeing Dreamlifters
Dreamlifter N780BA in Everett. Photo by Brandon Farris.
This past week I have traveled all over the place from Anchorage to Miami and even in Seattle a little bit. Something that was awesome while traveling to all of these places was the fact that I got to see three different Boeing Dreamlifters. It all started on Sunday when I got treated to N780BA coming into Everett.
Dreamlifter N718BA in Anchorage. Photo by Brandon Farris.
The next day I was taking a day trip up to Anchorage for some spotting and was treated to N718BA making a fuel stop on its way to Paine Field.
Dreamlifter N249BA in Miami. Photo by Brandon Farris.
And finally on Friday, while on the ramp tour in Miami I got to see N249BA being towed around the airport making it the third different Dreamlifter I had seen in a mere week!
The Dreamlifter is a transport aircraft that flies Boeing 787 parts around the world to Paine Field and Charleston, similar to the Airbus Beluga. Some might not see it as the most eye pleasing aircraft but it gets the job done one day at a time!

Whatever Happened to Schlitz Beer?
Schlitz isn't the only well-known old Milwaukee beer (you may recognize the names Pabst, Miller, and Blatz), but it's the beer that made Milwaukee a beer town. Schlitz beer got its start in 1848 in a Milwaukee, Wisconsin, tavern brewery owned by August Krug.
In 1850, Krug hired Joseph Schlitz as a bookkeeper, and then Schlitz took over as brewery manager when Krug died in 1856. Two years later, Schlitz married Anna Maria Krug, August Krug's widow, and changed the name of the brewery to the Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company.
In 1902, Schlitz produced one million barrels of beer, making it the largest brewery in the country. The brewery's namesake beer, an American-style lager, was known as "the beer that made Milwaukee famous."

But even famous beer wasn't legal during Prohibition. The company was forced to change its name from the Schlitz Brewing Company to the Schlitz Beverage Company and changed "beer" to "drink" in its famous slogan. These changes helped them survive the dark years of Prohibition, and by 1934 Schlitz was back on top.
During the mid-20th century, the Schlitz Brewing Company and Anheuser-Busch traded off status as the country's largest beer producer.
The Downfall of a brewery
In the late 50s, Anheuser-Busch pulled ahead in the competition, and Schlitz, now managed by the Uihlein family who was related to the brewery's original founder August Krug, made a series of decisions that would lead to the gradual downfall of the Schlitz brewery.
First, the brewery cut costs by starting to swap in cheaper ingredients including corn syrup for malted barley and hop pellets for fresh hops. The hope was that if they did it slow enough, drinkers wouldn't notice. While the changes worked, at least for a little while, other breweries like Anheuser-Busch and Miller accused Schlitz of selling green beer, or beer that is too young.
Schlitz Baseball Hat
The accusation was founded in truth. The brewery didn't age its beers for as long as other breweries. For that reason, the brewery added silica gel to the beer to keep it from getting hazy when it was chilled. There was a concern that beer makers would be required to list all ingredients on the bottles and beer cans, which would have shown a clear difference between Schlitz and its competitors.
So, in 1976, they switched to a different stabilizer that could be filtered out at the end of the brewing process, meaning it wouldn't have to be listed as an ingredient. But that stabilizer had an unexpected side effect: It caused protein in the beer to settle out in little white flakes, which customers complained about. The company had to recall 10 million bottles, losing $1.4 million.
When Miller released Miller Lite, the Schlitz brewery responded with Schlitz Light beer in 1976, but the new beer wasn't a hit with customers. At the same time, the Schlitz brand tried a new advertising campaign that was aggressive in multiple ways. A boxer asked "You want to take away my gusto?" when offered a chance to swap Schlitz for another beer; consumers found the ad somewhat threatening and sales continued to fall.
By 1980, the company was in serious trouble. In 1981, they closed the Milwaukee plant. Later that year, two other Milwaukee breweries, Heileman and Pabst Brewing Company, both made takeover bids for the struggling company. The Department of Justice didn't allow either of those takeovers to happen, but in June 1982 did allow for Detroit brewing company Stroh to purchase Schlitz.
Schlitz beer today
Stroh wasn't able to keep up with debts, including that incurred to purchase Schlitz, and Pabst bought out Stroh and all its assets including the Schlitz brand in 1999. During the multiple formula changes in the 70s, the original recipe had been lost, but Pabst worked with former brewmasters to rediscover the original formula and introduce it back onto the market so can you still drink Schlitz.
In 2014, Blue Ribbon Intermediate Holdings bought Pabst and all its holdings, including Schlitz. The new company is headquartered in Los Angeles but has a contract with MillerCoors to brew Pabst Blue Ribbon and Schlitz beers, including Old Milwaukee beer, through 2020. The company announced that it plans to have most of its beer made by City Brewing Company by the end of 2024.
