Hell's Angels
Hell's Angels are legendary.
They protect the weak when they have to, raise money for charity and commit many of their activities to community service projects which assist the poor.
They've benefitted families in need throughout the world with their sympathy and generosity which, sadly, is rarely recognized.
But make no mistake about it, they'll get mean if they're offended.
It's true that some of their members have been convicted of serious crimes, including murder.
They like to say, "When we do right, nobody remembers. When we do wrong, nobody forgets."
Nonetheless, they're an important part of the history of this nation, the good and the bad, like the sweet with the sour.
Good or bad, nonetheless, I believe that they should be represented on an American postage stamp.
Besides, Hell's Angels would be the first "outlaws" ever represented on a United States postage stamp.
And they just so happen to possess a redemptive measure of good !
Precedence setting, I hope the United States Postal Service creates this stamp or one like it.
I sent it to Sonny Barger. I hope he likes it.

The Blue Angels
I've always been proud of the Blue Angels.
They represent our country, the Marines and the Navy.
They were founded by Butch Voris July 21, 1946.
I created a fantasy stamp in their honor.
Maybe the United States Postal Service will make the real thing.
Bear Bryant
Bear Bryant played his last football game in Memphis on December 29, 1982. I stood on the field with him that day. My cousin, Alan (now a pediatrician) was the drum major for the Alabama marching band.
"Bear" was dead four weeks later on January 26, 1983.
I found this in a box of stamps I bought from a retired postmaster in mid-August of this year. The four stamps on the cover commemorate the 100th anniversary of intercollegiate football and were issued in 1969. "Bear" signed it for the National Association of Postmasters of the United States convention in Eufaula, Alabama on May 18, 1980.
I didn't know that I had it until today.
It's very rare and a remarkable piece of postal history.
No others have been located.
In an arm's length transaction it's worth $2000 dollars, and very possibly much more at auction.
It's not for sale.
Star Wars : The Force Awakens (The Force Should Go Back to Sleep)
If you're over the age of 9 hide your face when you leave the theater.
You don't want anyone to recognize you. The clichéd movie is a two hour migraine headache.
I hope the Force goes back to sleep and never wakes up again after wasting money on this obnoxious, stupid film. I couldn't wait to leave the theater. I ended up having more fun at home making beignets and watching the Three Stooges.
It looks like a Halloween Party with cheap computer animation. Save your money !

Memphis Is Too Warm for Santa
The temperature's close to 70 degrees and'll push close to 80 over the next couple of days. Santa's reindeer were heard panting from the Memphis heat while hovering over the city, so Santa decided to hang out on Beale Street till things let up.
A rat infested, cockroach motel that operated as a butcher shop at Southern and Highland for years was finally demolished.
The university wanted that scum plagued pile of garbage shut down, and so did the health department and all of the neighbors.
Here's a squalid reminder of what's left of that crap hole....good riddance !
Lunch at the Arcade
There's no diner in the world like the Arcade ! I've been eating there since I came into the world.
The great Danny Honnold stopped by. We headed downtown for a great lunch and a nice visit with my friend and Arcade Restaurtant owner Harry Zapatos. There's an old upright piano in the dining room and I managed to work in a few holiday songs for the nice crowd.
The food is fabulous at the Arcade. It's the "diner to the stars" !
When you're in Memphis put the Arcade Restaurant at the top of your "absolutely must visit" list !
The Philatelist
Began a new excursion into video lunacy.
The Philatelist Parts I & II now on YouTube.
Handel, Poulenc, Libertas Choir, Beethoven & Honegger
George F.Handel's 1707 work Dixit Dominus (The Lord Said) based on Psalm 110 began my day. The work has been performed in hebrew but usually performed in Latin.
Now comes Francis Poulenc, Les Mamelles De Tiresia.
Les mamelles de Tirésias (The Breasts of Tiresias) is a prologue and two acts based on the play of the same title by Guillaume Apollinaire. The opera was written in 1945 and first performed in 1947.
Thérèse tires of her life as a submissive woman and becomes the male Tirésias when her breasts turn into balloons and she floats away. Her husband is ticked off by this, and even more so when she ties him up and dresses him as a woman.
Now for Herbert Von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic with Beethoven's 9th Symphony and his first recording of this work in 1947. It's fantastic !
The Libertas Choir, from South Africa, will raise your spirits. The day brightened up nicely with Libertas under the direction of Johan de Villiers, a professor of mathematics at the University of Stellenbosch who also happens to be an outstanding choral conductor.
Finally, Arthur Honegger to end my Friday afternoon with his Pacific 231, Rugby, Pastorale d'ete' and Une Cantate de Noel (a Christmas Carol)
Art Honegger was a Swiss composer, who was born in France and lived most of his life in Paris
What a great life ! Why would I let anything spoil the music ? God is good !
Mozart & Gounod
Two operas define the early morning hours in the House of Saks.
Mozart's The Magic Flute
& Gounod's Mireille
The Mozart recording is from 1964 with Fritz Wunderlich as Tamino and Evelyn Lear as Pamina with the Berlin Philharmonic and director Karl Bohm.
The Gounod recording is from 1954 with Janette Vivalda as Mireille and Nicolai Gedda as Vincent with the Orchestra de la Societe'des Concerts du Conservatoire conducted by Andre' Cluytens.
Both works astounding. Click either photo for the wikis.
Off to Starbucks to meet a friend for coffee.
Louise, by composer Gustave' Charpentier is a beautiful love story about the relationship between an artist and a seamstress who lives with her parents in Paris. Louise premiered on 2 February 1900 at the Opéra-Comique conducted by André Messager in a production by Albert Carré.
Synopsis (from the Wiki)
The Parisian home of Louise's parents
Louise has fallen in love with her neighbor, Julien. At the opening of the opera, they recall how they met. Louise's mother interrupts them and vocally expresses her disapproval of Julien. The exhausted father comes home from work and his wife and daughter implore him to quit the taxing job. However, he feels that it is his responsibility to provide for his family. At supper, he reads a letter that Julien left in which he proposed marriage to Louise. He is indifferent, but the mother is livid and, when Louise stands up for Julien, she slaps Louise across the face. The peaceful father asks his daughter to sit with him and read the paper. As she reads about springtime in Paris, she breaks down and cries.
Scene 1: A street in Paris
It begins with a prelude that suggests dawn in Paris. The curtain rises to a bustling scene where people go about their daily routines and comment about life in general. The Noctambulist enters and calls himself the spirit of the Pleasure of Paris, and then leaves with the daughter of a ragman. Julien appears with a group of fellow bohemians to show them where Louise works. He tells them that if her parents do not consent to marriage, he will carry the girl off. Julien and his companions go off and he sings that the medley of sounds around him is the voice of Paris itself. Louise and her Mother arrive at the dressmaking store where Louise works (her mother brings her to work everyday). When the mother leaves, Julien returns. Louise tells him she loves him, but she loves her parents too much to leave them. He tries to persuade her to run off with him and she finally agrees to do so soon.
Scene 2: Inside Louise's place of work
Louise is being teased by the other seamstresses for being in love. A band is heard outside and Julien sings a serenade. The girls admire him for his looks and voice. Louise quietly slips away – to run off with Julien.
A cottage overlooking Paris
The act opens with the opera's most well known aria, "Depuis le jour"; the lovers have moved into a cottage overlooking Paris and in the aria she sings of her happiness with her new existence and with her lover. A long love duet ensues in which they sing of their love for each other and Paris. Many Bohemians enter and crown Louise Queen of Montmartre. The Noctambulist presides as the King of the Fools. Louise's mother appears and the festivities end. She tells Louise of her father's illness and that her father creeps into Louise's room in the middle of the night, even though they agreed to regard her as dead. Even Julien is moved, and he lets Louise leave on the promise she will return whenever she wishes.
The father has regained his health and spirits. He is working again, but has come to accept poverty in a philosophical way. His recovery can be attributed to the return of Louise, whom he takes into his arms and sings a lullaby. She is not comforted and longs to be with Julien again. A merry waltz is heard outside and Louise takes it up, singing madly of love and freedom. Her parents are shocked and her father becomes increasingly angry. He shouts at Louise and demands that she leave; if that is what she wants, let her go and dance and laugh! He begins to attack her, but the mother stands in the way. Louise runs from the room to go back to Julien. Only then does the father realise what he did. "Louise, Louise!" he calls. She is gone and in despair he shakes his fist at the city that stole his daughter, "Paris!" he moans and the opera closes.
Here's the opera in it's entirety for you:
The freedom to love is what the composer believed that you must understand.
I begin this day listening to Louise.
Herodiade
Listened to Massenet's opera Herodiade today. Another take on the story of Salome and John the Baptist but the wife of Herod the protagonist. Recorded in Paris in 1974, gargantuan orchestral and choral movements are provided by the Choers et Orchestre Lyrique de Raio-France under the direction of David Lloyd Jones. Sopranos, Muriel De Channes who portrays Salome, and Nadine Denise (in the pic), Herodiade, nail it !
Outside Herod's palace in Jerusalem, a dispute between merchants of different sects is broken up by Phanuel. Phanuel meets Salome, who has come to Jerusalem to find her mother; instead she had met, and fallen in love with, John the Baptist. As Phanuel and Salome leave, Herod, who is in love with Salome, enters. His wife, Herodiade, follows him, demanding that John be punished for insulting her. Herod knows that John is popular and tries to deter her; as they argue, John himself enters and again insults Herodiade; she and Herod flee, and Salome enters. She offers herself to John, but he rejects her and advises her to seek a more spiritual love.
In Herod's palace, Phanuel tries to convince Herod to forget about Salome, with whom he is obsessed. The two of them plan revolution, but Phanuel disagrees with Herod's plan of killing John and other holy men; he thinks they will only become martyrs. In front of his palace gates, Herod is rallying his people to revolution, but the rally is interrupted by the arrival of Vitellus, the Roman proconsul, and his soldiers. Vitellus appeases the mob by allowing the High Priest to return to the Temple of Israel. John enters, accompanied by Salome, and Vitellus, alarmed by his popularity, has the prophet arrested.
ACT III
Herodiade comes to Phanuel's house to seek his help in revenging herself on her husband's rival. Examining the stars, he tells the queen that only her daughter can help her. When he tells her her daughter is Salome, however, she denies it; Phanuel sends her away. In the temple, Salome again declares her love for John and her wish to die with him. Herod plans to save John to foment rebellion among the Jews; entering, he sees Salome and declares his love for her. She rejects him, and he threatens to kill both her and her rival. The people gather for worship; the hierarchs of the temple appeal to Vitellus to condemn John for his heresy; Vitellus passes the task to Herod, as John is a Galilean. Herod questions John and is about to save him, thinking the prophet will further his plans for freedom, when Salome reveals that she loves him. Herod, enraged, condemns them both; they are seized by the temple guards.
ACT IV
John is praying in his cell, saying that he is not afraid to die, but he is haunted by thoughts of Salome. She enters, and they declare their love for each other. John tells Salome to save herself, but she is determined to die with him. However, the guards take John away to be killed and drag Salome off to the palace, where Herod and Vitellus are holding court. Salome begs Herod and Herodiade for John's life; just as Herod is about to give in to her, the executioner carries in his bloody sword, indicating that John has already been killed. Salome draws a dagger and tries to kill Herodiade, but the queen tells her she is her mother; in despair, Salome kills herself instead.
Enjoy it ! It's a mind blower !
Here's a link on to the entire opera on YouTube:

The unbelievable Montserrat Caballe', one of Freddy Mercury's best friends, is Salome.
Music & The Test Bench
Along with the great music of Montserrat Caballe and Lawrence Tibbett (who George Gershwin thought was one of the best singers in the world) comes another morning of tinkering with hobby electronics. I've been programming a high-powered communications device for use with land and aviation communications. Getting everything set is a grind and amounts to more trial and error than frustration. The patience paid off and now I can think about going for a run, or at least a couple of miles on the treadmill.
I trashed a cd player after discovering that the stackable rack inside of the unit was warped and chewing up good music.
Had a peanut butter and honey sandwich on wheat bread a few minutes ago while watching the first light of the new day.
Looks like another warm day in Memphis.
Here's the happy face of my best friend !
Happy Birthday, Son !
Today is my son's birthday !
Here are a couple of pictures of my son, of whom I'm very proud of,
with his gorgeous wife, my daughter-in-law, Ann Marie,
and my adorable, beautiful grandchildren.
I love them very, very much !
Happy Birthday, Dennis !
Your Dad !
Tranquil Thursday
Fine morning ! Very peaceful. Having coffee and watching the great film "Pawn Sacrifice" with Toby Maguire. He's a convincing Bobby Fischer and portrays the man I remember Fischer to have been as brilliant but tragically psychotic. I remember when Fischer came to Memphis to play a simultaneous match at the Fairgrounds against a couple of dozen chess players. I think only one man pulled a draw against Fischer.
Fischer beat everyone else effortlessly. I was there that day with my dog.
I can't exactly remember, but I believe that Bobby was between 18 and 19 years old then and was the new United States champion or National Junior Chess Champion. Maybe 1961 or so. I was around 9 or 10 years old then.
I felt sorry for Bobby when he died.
I felt sorry for him before he died.
Welcome to David's Blog !
The blog is new. It's early morning. How about you ?
For the next few weeks I'll be talking about the first day covers of ArtCraft along with everything else.
ArtCraft closed it's doors recently after 76 years of making philatelic history.
I'm predicting a sudden, salubrious escalation in the value of the ArtCraft cachet, all ArtCraft first day covers and ArtCraft portrait cards.
Including those connected to the Postal Commemorative Society
Their departure signals the end of an extraordinarily crucial, very important, highly significant and exceedingly meaningful period in philately
A mournful signal which will be heard around the world and lamented throughout the multitude of collectors
Leo and Sam August treasured their associations with the world's greatest philatelists
Leo's contributions to our hobby were significant enough to earn the coveted Luft Award and a place in the American Philatelic Society Hall of Fame.
ArtCraft has well-earned it's place in the great chronological record in the history of philately.
Their raised ink, line-engraved intaglio printed cachets rank among the most aesthetic in the world.
ArtCraft cachets are not just beautiful.
They are works of art that showcase the wonders of the world and illuminate the powers of human creativity and ingenuity.
The Coober Pedy Cover
One of the World's Great Philatelic Rarities
Could this become la pièce de résistance de toute la modern Australian philatélie ?
Coober Pedy is a town in northern South Australia. The town is sometimes referred to as the "opal capital of the world" because of the quantity of precious opals that are mined there. Coober Pedy is renowned for its below-ground residences,called "dugouts", which are built in this fashion due to the scorching daytime heat. The name "Coober Pedy" comes from the local Aboriginal term kupa-piti, which means "white man's hole".
Opal was found in Coober Pedy on 1 February 1915; since then the town has been supplying most of the world's gem-quality opal. Coober Pedy today relies as much on tourism as the opal mining industry to provide the community with employment and sustainability. Coober Pedy has over 70 opal fields and is the largest opal mining area in the world.
Coober Pedy - no village, no buildings, no roads, just desert, mountains dotted with boulders. A bizarre lunar landscape, but for opal seekers is the most exciting place on earth, where again every day is the true challenge, happiness and luck just a shovel width apart and where life is defined by two words: winners and losers. Coober Pedy, grab your hat, throw it into the air and where it lands start digging !

Facial Nerve Center
Staff Spotlight Series: Mara Robinson
Staff Spotlight!
Get to know Mara Wernick Robinson.
Mara is best known as one of the Facial Nerve Physical Therapists here at the Facial Nerve Center. She attended school at the University of Delaware and MGH Institute of Health Professions.
Mara has been involved with facial palsy for 17 years with 15 of those years at Mass. Eye & Ear. Mara has been featured on Physicaltherapy.com doing webinars for Facial Rehab back in 2017. She has another live webinar on there in January 2020.
When Mara is not at work, she enjoys yoga, running (she's run 5 marathons), and tennis. Most of her time is spent with her 2 children, but she is working towards her yoga certification.
Mara has contributed a lot to the rehabilitation of facial palsy, Mara incorporates patient education, soft tissue mobilization, neuromuscular retraining as well as motivational strategies to improve function and quality of life for people who have been affected by facial paralysis. To read some of her work, check it out here.
While at MGH Institute of Health Professions, Mara received the 1995 Marjorie K. Ionta Award for Clinical Excellence. She was also a recipient of the Stefanie Macaluso Excellence in Clinical Practice Award in 2003.
Mara is greatly appreciated as you can tell from the many Thank You letters she has received from her patients.
From working at Mass. Eye & Ear, she has learned that everyone handles facial paralysis differently. Mild facial paralysis may disrupt someone's day to day work, whereas another with complete flaccid paralysis is able to go on and manage their disability with no disruption to their everyday work. And we cater to everyone's individual goals/limitations whether it's asymmetric or flaccid.
When asked what Mara enjoys the most from her work environment, she said the uniqueness of the team at the Facial Nerve Center that provides care for people that have been told nothing can be done for many years and from many doctors, and give them a sense of hope. Mara credits the team approach at MEEI to the success of patient outcomes.

DNS is applied when there is need to resolve any domain to a certain IP address. Linking a domain name to an IP of a server is called forward resolution and involves referring to DNS records called pointer records. These PTR records can also do the reverse: in other words, reverse lookup or reverse DNS lookup.
There is a specific PTR record, called the name portion, which stores entries that make reverse DNS lookup possible. The name portion is the IP address combined with ".in-addr.arpa", this appended portion refers to the "address and routing parameter area". Or, in other words, "arpa". When using reverse DNS with IPv4 you make use of "in-addr.arpa" while reverse DNS with IPv6 uses "ip6.arpa".
Reverse DNS: why would you use it?
You will use rDNS for exactly the same reason as the usual, forward DNS lookup. It is simply easier to remember a domain name rather than an IP address. That said, forward DNS is the important part of the DNS functionality: you can only find a website if forward lookup works. On the other hand, a website will load without problems even if there is no rDNS entry.
One common use case for reverse DNS is for email servers. Email servers can use reverse DNS lookup in the fight against unwanted mail. Some servers will automatically block any incoming mail from a sender IP address which does not have reverse DNS records in place. However, it is not a fool-proof method and is simply an additional trick email servers use. It's a good idea to enable rDNS on your mail server, but it does not mean your messages will always get to an inbox.
Another noted use case for reverse DNS lookup is for server logs. It can render long logs in a more human-readable format by adding domain names, instead of just displaying IP addresses.
How does rDNS lookup work?


Merrimac is a census-designated place (CDP) in Montgomery County, Virginia, United States. The population was 2,133 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Blacksburg–Christiansburg–Radford Metropolitan Statistical Area which encompasses all of Montgomery County and the city of Radford.

With the abuse scandal that has rocked Penn State College and other institutions there should be an even greater focus on the need for mentors, people that can inspire individuals to greatness. When the writer was growing up as a child in Buffalo New York, he was to say the least, uncoordinated physically. The writer was also one of least popular kids, and that if he was asked to participate in any sports activities at school he was the last one picked. Being bullied by others was certainly an ever present element to his life back then as well. However; the writer knew deep down inside he was a better and more talented person but was unable to find those channels to confidence and success.
Parks can be a great place to take your children to for outdoor activities. The best part of about going to local parks is it is free and there is plenty of room to engage you children in fitness activities. About a year ago the writer did a story on local parks in Buffalo, NY and Ellicott Creek Park in Western, NY was mentioned in one of the articles. Well, Ellicott Creek Park has a new addition added on to it, an outside fitness center that can help you in your efforts to get fit. The writer was there with his daughter a couple of days ago. The center is shaped in a circle with about 6 stations to work different muscle groups from your upper body to your lower body. Some of the stations have adjustable weights built in to increase strength, resistance and stamina.
Christopher Emdin of The Huffington Post took a controversial stance in his blog yesterday, explaining what he believes are the 5 Major Reasons that the latest anti-bullying efforts won't work.
Edmin cites the deaths of Williamsville teen Jamey Rodemeyer and Rutgers student Tyler Clementi as the main catalysts for the new push to resolve the bullying issue.

MM-Geschaeftsbericht-20190312
Zurich Airport: Financial Year 2018
Flughafen Zürich AG has posted a robust result for 2018. In the reporting period, Flughafen Zürich AG's revenue increased by CHF 11.2% to CHF 1.15 billion. The airport operator's prof-it of CHF 237.8 million shows a decrease on the previous year. Whereas the prior-year figure was positively impacted in particular by the sale of the interest in Bangalore, additional pro-visions for sound insulation measures had a negative effect in the financial year 2018. After adjusting for one-off effects, profit rose by 13.3%.
Last year, over 31 million people arrived at, departed from or transferred to other flights at Switzer-land's biggest airport. The trend in passenger volumes was thus again positive and reached a new record. Both aviation and non-aviation revenue increased in the reporting period. Against this back-drop of a gratifying business trend, at the General Meeting of Shareholders on 25 April 2019, the Board of Directors will – as in the previous three years – request payment of both an ordinary divi-dend of CHF 3.70 per share (an increase of CHF 0.40 versus last year) and an additional dividend out of capital contribution reserves of CHF 3.20 per share.
A total of 31,113,488 passengers travelled via Zurich Airport in 2018, a year-on-year increase of 5.8%. The number of local passengers rose by 5.6% to 22.2 million. At 28.4%, the share of transfer passengers was slightly above the previous year's figure (+0.1 percentage points). The number of passengers transferring at Zurich Airport increased by 6.4% to 8.8 million. There were 278,458 flight movements in 2018, 3.0% more than in 2017. A total of 493,222 tons of freight were transported via Zurich Airport. The freight volume thus rose by 0.6% over the previous year. Along with the general rise in passenger numbers, the increase in the number of peak days with over 100,000 passengers travelling per day also merits a mention. During the year under review, Zurich Airport saw 63 such days (previous year: 22). Sunday, 29 July 2018 saw the highest number of passengers. The total came to almost 115,000. Thanks to the good cooperation of all airport partners, these peaks were handled without any significant disruptions.
One-off Effects
In mid-2018, Flughafen Zürich AG extended its sound insulation program based on the night-time noise curve in the Sectoral Aviation Infrastructure Plan (SAIP2) approved by the Federal Council and an extension of the south-side sound insulation concept. This adds further measures amounting to CHF 60.0 million to the CHF 340.0 million previously estimated by that time for sound insulation and resident protection. The present value of these additional costs of CHF 57.6 million (before tax) was recognized as a provision at the end of the first half of 2018, resulting in a one-off amount of CHF 45.8 million (after tax) being charged to the consolidated income statement. All additional costs will be financed by the Airport of Zurich Noise Fund, which is adequately funded. The measures are due to be completed by the end of 2030.
Operating expenses were lower in the prior year due to receiving payment of CHF 4.8 million (CHF 3.8 million after tax) in connection with the liquidation of Swissair. In addition, the sale of the remain-ing 5% interest in Bangalore International Airport Ltd. resulted in a one-off gain of CHF 31.4 million (after tax).
In the reporting period, Flughafen Zürich AG's revenue increased from CHF 1,037.1 million to CHF 1,152.9 million (+11.2%). Of this figure, around 57% or CHF 656.7 million was attributable to aviation, corresponding to an increase of CHF 32.5 million (+5.2%). Non-aviation revenue increased by a total of 20.2% to CHF 496.2 million. In commercial operations, our partners lifted revenue by CHF 18.6 million to CHF 593.8 million last year, resulting in commercial revenue of CHF 130.3 million for Flu-ghafen Zürich AG. In addition to the rise in commercial revenue, the takeover of operations at the airport in Florianópolis in southern Brazil had a positive effect. Revenue from international airport business thus increased to CHF 82.8 million (prior-year period: CHF 17.3 million) in the reporting year.
Operating expenses rose by 28.3% to CHF 581.9 million in financial year 2018 due in particular to the extension of the sound insulation program. After adjusting for one-off items, they were up by 14.4%, a rise mainly attributable to setting up operations in Florianópolis. At the Zurich site, operating ex-penses rose at a much slower pace than the growth in traffic (+2.2%).
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) were down on the prior-year figure of CHF 583.6 million to CHF 571.0 million. Adjusted for the aforementioned one-off items, EBITDA climbed by 8.6% to CHF 628.6 million, which equates to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 54.5%.
Depreciation and amortization were virtually unchanged year on year at CHF 244.5 million.
Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) amounted to CHF 326.5 million in the reporting period.
If one-off effects are excluded, EBIT increased year on year by 14.6% to CHF 384.1 million.
Profit for financial year 2018 was CHF 47.7 million down on the prior-year result to CHF 237.8 mil-lion. Adjusted for one-off items, profit rose by CHF 33.3 million (13.3%) year-on-year to CHF 283.6 million.
Flughafen Zürich AG invested CHF 290.1 million in ongoing projects in the reporting period (2017: CHF 239.0 million). Investments in THE CIRCLE, which were higher than last year owing to the pro-gress made on this building project, contributed in large part to this figure. Further significant invest-ments included the upgrade and extension of the baggage sorting system plus projects for expanding the aircraft stands on the southern side of the airport, and the high-speed taxiways for runway 28.
Flughafen Zürich AG anticipates around 3% growth in passenger volumes for the current financial year. Excluding the one-off effect in the financial year 2018, earnings before interest, tax, deprecia-tion and amortization (EBITDA) and profit for the 2019 financial year are expected to be higher than in the previous year. Investments for 2019 will amount to between CHF 350 million and CHF 400 million.
Distribution of profits
At the General Meeting of Shareholders on 25 April 2019, the Board of Directors will request pay-ment of both an ordinary dividend of CHF 3.70 per share and an additional dividend of CHF 3.20 per share, to be paid out of capital contribution reserves.
The 2018 Annual Report of Flughafen Zürich AG is now available as an online Annual Report.

From Neon Lights to Starry Skies
Why leave Las Vegas to be immersed in the heart of the Canadian wilderness? A few years ago, we led a yoga retreat in the Sacred Valley of Peru where the native people exuded an authentic connection to the Earth. At a farmer's market one day, we admired mothers with armfuls of wild food, plant medicine and vegetables – like an endless parade of Earth's treasures. In Las Vegas, food comes wrapped in layers of plastic.
"Nature isn't a model separate from us. We are part of the natural world, complete with all its complexities."
– Lynne Twist
We had an auspicious feeling about heading north into the wilderness of Western Canada. We followed a calling to find land that spoke to us and found a beautiful slice of the forest where we could continue teaching our passions in yoga, circus, and protection of the environment. We now live off-grid gathering rainwater, drinking from wild springs and being powered by solar, with plans underway to build our first off-grid house in the woods.
Along the way, we're learning everything from how to repair a broken seal on a wood stove door to wiring up a set of solar panels to discovering the joys and challenges of living in 150 sq.ft over one of the harshest Okanagan winters on record.
We designed, built, and now live in an off-grid house. It's been an unending adventure, full of ups and downs, twists, uncertainties, and boundless joy and satisfaction.
We invite you to join us on this off-grid living story – a truly, wild, journey.
Let us know how we can help you get started on your off-grid journey. Click on the button below to book a consultation with us.
The greatest gratitude is gratitude for existence.
The greatest reverence is reverence for life.
– Deepak Chopra
EARTH INFUSION
For us, nature is a foundation for all movement. We find our inspirations in nature, a rejuvenation in deep woods of the forest and a renewal of spirit by the rushing waters of the river. We infuse all our teachings with a sense of nature, as reverence to our first teacher, the Earth.
The notion of wholeness in mind and body imbues our classes and retreats. Disease can be thought of as separation of ourselves from our environment. By infusing nature with the art of movement, we bring ourselves back in harmony with our mind, body and spirit and ultimately, the world.
>A contribution towards greener living can start with a single, simple action, and it and can start with each one of us. When we feel cleaner and healthier, when we feel in touch with our bodies, we can also begin to make an impact on sustainable living in a lasting, authentic way.
We were living in Las Vegas in the midst of a concrete urban jungle. Our realization one day was that we lived in a city in the middle of a desert which by no means has the natural resources to support the amount of water we used daily. It was a rude awakening to what our habits were, even though we considered ourselves "aware" and environmentally conscious.
Our decision to move to the forests of southern British Columbia was driven by our value that "you have to live it to give it". As yoga and circus teachers, we believe strongly in being able to do what we teach. So, as we move into this phase of our life, we knew that living the values of a sustainable lifestyle had to be more than just a casual conversation. It had to be a real experience that we could truly learn from, share and inspire others to give their contributions to a greener world.
WATCH IT ON YOUTUBE
There are many routes to an off-grid lifestyle but we took the one that afforded us the greatest speed because we moved onto a piece of land at the tail end of winter, without utility hook-ups – or even a driveway! We elected to start with an RV with a gas generator to start with, followed a week later by two 270 watt solar panels. Our non-potable water comes from the sky, 40 gallons of rainwater collected in two garbage pails. We built a simple housing for a wood stove and extra storage. And the toilet? It was a bucket with sawdust that we carry out every day.
Our off-grid experience has just begun but we're already seeing the other benefits of this choice. We huddle around the fire, as a replacement to television, snuggle a little longer and closer when it's cold outside and take more time to do the menial tasks, like washing dishes or gathering firewood. Our son is content with the toys of nature – rock collecting, carving sticks or playing with the wheelbarrow and shovel. We are learning skills that we never thought we would – building, wildcrafting, chopping wood. This decision to live sustainably has set in motion for us a spiral of other unexpected and amazing experiences – like the off-grid house we're now in the process of completing. That is an entire chapter unto itself. The journey continues.

Purchase or refinance your home with a Federal Housing Administration (FHA) or Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) mortgage. FHA and VA loans are government programs that provide potential homebuyers and veterans with mortgages that offer lower down payment and closing costs.
Do I need to be a member TruWest Credit Union to get an FHA/VA mortgage?
Yes. A membership is required if you are approved for the loan.
What is the difference between an FHA loan and a VA loan?
While both are government-backed loan programs, there are distinct differences between an FHA and VA mortgage. VA loans offer no down payments and a federal guarantee; however, have an eligibility requirement based on service requirements set forth by the Department of Veterans Affairs. FHA mortgages can be obtained with as low as 3.5% down payment and are insured through Housing and Urban Development.
Additional documentation may be needed. Your mortgage loan officer will provide you a complete list of additional documentation required to complete your mortgage.
What should I consider when reviewing loan rates?
Be an informed consumer by understanding the differences between home loan options and shopping around for rates. This will give you the essentials needed to pick the right loan for your situation.
Think about how long you plan to keep the loan. If you are looking to sell your home in a few years, consider an adjustable-rate mortgage, which can provide lower payments and flexibility. But if you are in it for the long-haul, a fixed-rate mortgage can offer the comfort of always knowing your payment and an interest rate that doesn't change over the length of the loan.
Who are loan originators that work with TruWest?
These are our licensed mortgage loan originators.
Do you have any calculators or any other resources for help?
Yes, check out the calculators tab to get an idea of your loan payment.
Does TruWest have any down payment assistance funds?
Yes. TruWest offers the Workforce Initiative Subsidy for Homeownership (WISH), which provides qualified homebuyers a match up to $15,000 to use for a down payment. More details.
Apply online or by phone at 1(855) 841-9203.

In fact, the X-Terminator is not a new circuit of my own, but my third 'classic' reconstruction, following the Hedgehog (a variation on the Atari Punk Console) and the Cracklephone (my version of Michel Waisvisz's Cracklebox).
The X-Terminator is really Arthur Harrison and Kevin Buckholdt's Cacophonator. You can read all about it here: http://theremin.us/Circuit_Library/cacophonator.html.
Essentially, it's a fairly straightforward six oscillator circuit, using all six parts of a 40106 chip. Cleverly, though, it's designed without the usual precautions to keep the oscillators completely separate, and, indeed, has extra features which in operation cause them to affect one another. Only four of the oscillators actually sound: the other two are just there to interfere with the power supply and cause further mayhem.
As can be seen, it also contains an enormous 2200μF capacitor which can be switched into the circuit, operating the oscillators for as long as it takes to discharge, and a 'starve' control to increase the power supply impedence.
I didn't make any significant changes to the published circuit in this case, mainly to avoid upsetting the delicate balance created between the oscillators. I combined the latching and push switches of the original (bottom left of the circuit diagram) into one, using a single ON-OFF-Momentary switch, and housed the circuit in a plastic Dalek, approximately 20cm tall.
This view of the inside of the base shows the PP3 battery clip glued in place, with battery standing up in it, and the small secondary circuit board containing the large capacitor and small resistor which are placed between the battery and the 40106.
The speaker and other small circuit board in here are not part of the Cacophonator: the small board comes from a Dr Who talking key ring, which I dismantled. A button on the outside of the case produces the phrase 'Exterminate!' through the speaker. So as not to interfere with the working of the Cacophonator circuit, I kept this entirely separate, and it's powered by a small 3v CR2032 coin battery.
In operation, it seems to perform exactly as described in Arthur Harrison's article referred to above. It's worth noting what Harrison says, that the discharge time of the large capacitor is affected by what the output is plugged into: the higher the impedence of the following circuit, the longer the discharge time – and therefore the longer the cacophony continues after the momentary switch is closed before it finally winds down. With the latching switch closed, of course, it continues to sound, but requires a little manipulation of the controls – especially the 'voltage starve' control – to remain interesting.

The debate boils down to: Are the terms to which Pres Santos and the FARC leadership agreeing an acceptable price to pay for peace—aimed to save lives, open Colombia to greater development and prosperity for a wider range of its population, expand democratic participation, fortify the Constitution and institutionality, and contribute to national/international security—as Pres. Santos, the FARC and other peace-process supporters argue?
Or, as Uribe argues, would it eventually result in the fuelling of future (perhaps worse) violence, greater drug-trafficking and other crime, and threaten Colombia's Constitution and institutionality, not only to the detriment of Colombia, but also to that of the international community, because it would tinker supposedly harmfully with Colombia's Constitutional and institutional balance and would allow those who confess involvement in grave war crimes or with illegal drugs-crops to not go to jail, and thus it would supposedly perhaps be an incentive for present and future outlawed groups to grow their strength to try to get similar judicial benefits?
Going from bottom to top, the words appear to read (if inadvertently): "pain" in English to "paz" ("peace" in Spanish). Or read from top to bottom, it could be seen as "paz" to "pain." Colombians will decide how their future unfolds. © Photo by Steve Salisbury. All rights reserved.
That is for Colombians to decide; they have to forge their own destiny, even though the international community can try to help and does help with some things.
But if Colombians (or others) are ever to reconcile, they are going to have to take the steps, even starting with baby steps. Stresses Harvard conflict-resolution expert William Ury, a helpful start would be to replace hostility with hospitality. As Ury quoted US President Abraham Lincoln in an especially important meeting where I was present, "Do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends?"

Anti-fascist, sovereign citizen tactics combine at Red House
Nick Budnick
Strange blend of 'antifa' and government-denying 'sovereign' movement come together in fast-changing saga.
In a year of the unusual for Portland, the saga of the Red House eviction blockade stands out.
The Kinney family's refusal to leave their former house on North Mississippi two years after it no longer belonged to them drew together belief systems from opposite ends of the political spectrum and sparked a standoff that made national news.
Perhaps the most unexpected part? The unusual melding of tactics and ideology appears to have won the day — so far, at least.
On Sunday, city officials and representatives of the blockade reported a tentative agreement, allowing the reopening of streets and sidewalks around the house that had come to look more like a war zone.
For a decade before the Black and indigenous family's plight hit the press in November, the Kinneys had been employing tactics that were straight out of the anti-government "sovereign citizens" playbook.
According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, "Sovereign citizens believe that they — not judges, juries, law enforcement or elected officials — get to decide which laws to obey and which to ignore, and they don't think they should have to pay taxes."
In a press release published Dec. 14, the family denied any involvement with the sovereign citizen movement, calling the idea "absurd."
"This Afro-Indigenous family is reclaiming the land — invoking their right to self-determination and ancestral right to inhabit the land," according to the statement.
But after the sheriff's office attempted to evict the family in September, the Kinneys became a cause célèbre for local left-leaning anarchist and "antifa" or anti-fascist activists who swarmed the North Mississippi neighborhood and set up camp. They erected barricades in the blocks around the home while protesting a situation they said was caused by capitalist greed and systemic racism.
Since then, an online fundraiser for the family has raised more than $300,000, and the current owner of the house — who wasn't involved in the family's mortgage problems, and who bought it at a foreclosure auction in 2018— has reportedly expressed a willingness to sell it to the Kinneys at cost after citing fear that activists could harm his family.
JJ MacNab, a senior researcher who tracks the right-wing anti-government movement for the George Washington University's Program on Extremism, told the Portland Tribune it's the first time she can think of where anarchist-leaning antifa forces had joined with self-styled "sovereign citizens."
If the property owner indeed does sell the property under duress, she said it would be a "terrible outcome. ... Any victory in the sovereign movement, no matter how small or insignificant, is going to be marketed and used to make that movement stronger."
One prominent Portland activist predicted the deal could boost the local anti-police resistance more than the clash with Homeland Security agents in October, dubbed the "Fed Wars."
"Seriously, if this deal holds, the Red House saga would be the biggest win we've seen since the Fed Wars, and I'd argue this is a much more substantial and definitive victory for the revolution," said Mac Smiff on Twitter. "The results of this will ripple across the nation."
As of Tuesday afternoon, the Kinney family did not respond to a Monday morning request for an interview.
Tangled family history
Long before the barricades rose up along Portland's latest occupied territory, the Kinneys faced spiraling costs, both legal and financial, in the fall-out from what the family has described as an "automobile accident."
On Feb. 7, 2002, three days after William Kinney III celebrated his 17th birthday, he was driving toward Cleveland High School with two friends when he ran a stop sign while traveling at high speed, colliding with another car at Southeast 33rd Avenue and with Franklin Street, according to court documents.
In the other car was Frederick Goetz, an 83-year-old long-time outdoors columnist for Oregon newspapers, known for helping the homeless and crusading for the environment, and who once owned Cameron's Books. Goetz died. His wife, Ann, also was injured.
The charges in the fatal crash included accusations of second-degree manslaughter and multiple counts of assault and hit-and-run.
Kinney, who now goes by the name William X. Nietzche, had been driving on a suspended learner's permit at the time of the collision, and had been cited three times for the same violation the previous August, The Oregonian reported at the time. He was convicted on two of the charges and spent the next five years behind bars in juvenile and adult facilities.

In letters of character sent to a judge, William's family described the incarceration as agonizing. One family member, Michele A. Metcalf, wrote in 2005 that the family was facing "financial devastation" due to an "outrageous mortgage."
Federal court records show that, a month after the crash, the Kinney family mortgaged their home for a $96,300 loan with an adjustable interest rate. Two years later, they paid off their first loan by taking out another, refinancing it for $126,500.
The interest rate on the family's loan was high, The Oregonian's investigative business reporter, Ted Sickinger, wrote, "though subprime lending practices in that timeframe were often far more abusive."
Nietzche later told the newspaper his legal fees cost about $26,000, and the family also sent him money for the jail commissary and paid for jail phone calls.
He and his supporters have said the family is a victim of predatory lending.
Jesse Merrithew, a local lawyer, wrote on Twitter, "If you think the fact that this family fell into the trap set by predatory lenders because they felt the need to hire private counsel to defend their teenage son against Measure 11 charges makes this story LESS about race, we need to talk."
Anti-government tactics surface
Nietzche's brushes with the law continued. In 2007, police arrested him for driving without a license and possession of cocaine. He didn't show up for court appearances until, in May 2010, he was arrested again for again driving while suspended.
By then, it appears, his mother, Julie, had embraced "sovereign citizen" views. Court documents show that Nietzche also embraced the movement.
MacNab, who has discussed the family's sovereign-citizen links online and with The Oregonian, said most sovereign citizens are right wing, but they also can be "anarchist" or "hippie" sovereigns.
There's also an African-American branch known as Moorish who, according to the Anti-Defamation League, "claim to have special rights because of their 'Moorish' status or because they are 'indigenous inhabitants' of North America."
Nietzche's court filings, MacNab said, are "kind of a hybrid between regular sovereign citizen and Moorish."
The refusal to recognize government authority didn't help Nietzche. He rejected the prosecution's plea offer of about a year in prison, The Oregonian wrote at the time, and clashed with his defense lawyer, James Britt.
As the stepson of Portland Black Panthers leader Kent Ford and brother to Patrice Lumumba Ford —convicted of seeking to aid the Taliban in 2003 — Britt, who died in 2013, was no stranger to strong anti-government views. A video posted online, however, shows him chiding the Kinney family outside the Multnomah County Circuit Courthouse after a September 2010 hearing, telling Nietzche's brother, Michael, "Your brother is being as dumb as you are," adding "Learn the rules... Read a book, brother. Educate yourself."
A jury found Nietzche guilty and, during a sentencing hearing, he was found in contempt 12 times for loudly interrupting a judge. He was sentenced to five and a half years in prison.
Conspiracy claims, threats
Since then, the Kinneys have portrayed Britt, the judges, banks and police as part of a long-running conspiracy against them, calling it "treason" and a "plot."
In 2017, the family stopped paying the mortgage on the home. Nietzche has said they were confused after the company holding their mortgage sold it to another company. The family declined an offer to mediate the debt.
In 2018, the new lender foreclosed on the Kinneys and developer Roman Ozeruga purchased the home at auction. The $260,000 sale price was used to pay off the family's $112,000 debt, penalties and foreclosure costs, with the remainder going to the family.
The Kinneys, however, have continued to refuse to leave the house, with Nietzche filing a variety of sovereign-style legal actions, including a purported criminal complaint against Ozeruga as well as a federal judge who ruled against the family.
Among the clashes this year:
•In February, Nietzche and an ally, Omari James Brunson, entered the Multnomah courthouse downtown, in what Nietzche said was an effort to execute citizen's arrests on judges. Brunson is another Moorish sovereign citizen who has had repeated encounters with law enforcement.
•On March 30, when Multnomah County animal control officers responded to a claim of animal abuse filed by a Kinney neighbor, Nietzche yelled at them and said they had no jurisdiction, calling the property "tribal land."
•On Sept. 9, Multnomah County Sheriff's deputies came to evict the family. Nietzche, while video-recording the incident, told them the family's appeal was still pending and appeared to threaten them, saying, "Hey, I promise you: You're gonna get the Second Amendment. … You can't take our land."
The Second Amendment of the constitution deals with the right to keep and bear arms.
•On Sept.16, Nietzche was taken into custody in eviction court after advancing on the judge and threatening him with the "Second Amendment."
For MacNab, the situation shows the danger of the sovereign citizen movement, which has led to violent conflicts elsewhere.
"The sovereign movement markets to desperate people," she said, adding that it "feeds into the ego. It tells you, you're a victim, and it tells you that with this secret knowledge, you're powerful."
She said she doesn't doubt that the banks were "slimy.... But instead of contacting a real lawyer and figuring a way out of that hole, (the Kinneys) just kept digging. They took what was probably a horrible situation and made it so much worse."
Collective action sparks apology
News of the family's eviction spread on social media, with Nietzche urging local activists to camp out in an "Occupy"-style protest.
In October, a sheriff's captain submitted an affidavit in court asking for more time to execute the eviction, citing the presence of dozens of campers and reports of armed individuals patrolling at night.
On Dec. 8, an effort by Multnomah sheriff's deputies backed by Portland police to evict the family collapsed into a hasty retreat by police, chased by people hurling rocks and paint at officers, pushing them and pounding vehicles.
As the standoff grew, reporters and members of the public began sharing information about what led up to it, sparking a vigorous debate on Reddit and other social media platforms. Liberal critics noted Nietzche's postings of what appeared to be right-wing QAnon propaganda — a bizarre conspiracy theory involving Democrats, Satan sex-trafficking and more —and questioned their level of support among progressive Portlanders.
However, the Kinney's supporters remained steadfast, and some of them echoed Nietzche that the media coverage was being manipulated by banks and developers. Video circulated of one of them bearing a military-style assault rifle.
The family, in its Twitter feed, also blamed Portland officials' public statements for racist death threats they were receiving.
"The community has come together to build a perimeter around the Red House to ensure protection for those holding the land," the Kinney family said in a statement on Dec. 10. "We refuse to be characterized as a violent movement when our leadership is rooted in an Afro-Indigenous ethic of land reclamation."
On Dec. 12, as part of a negotiated deal, Mayor Ted Wheeler and Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell sent the family a letter apologizing for public statements that portrayed the encampment as dangerous.
"We apologize & understand that following our tweets earlier this week your family received threats," Wheeler and Police Chief Chuck Lovell wrote in a Dec. 12 letter to Kinney family. "Nobody should be subjected to this kind of stress and harm & we apologize for the role our tweets played."
On Sunday, the family urged activists to help remove the barricades, saying the city had apologized and promised "not to attack supporters."
The precise future of the Kinneys and the Red House on Mississippi is yet to be determined. As the family's Twitter feed noted, executing a purchase agreement with Ozeruga hasn't yet happened.
"We're still in the thick of it," said a message issued by the family Twitter account Sunday afternoon. On Monday, Wheeler said he believed there had been an "agreement in principle" between the Kinneys and the developer who owns the house.

How do you make the Barbican's underground Pit theatre a pleasant and comfortable place to spend the night with fifty other people?
We created a dream-like womb of a bedroom with a cosy, wholesome atmosphere. A tawdry-beautiful silver foil balloon constellation gently bobbed in the grid, and the scene was set for a late evening of magical, soporific entertainment.


Planning events designed to appeal to a campus of nearly 20,000 students is no simple feat.
However, this is the main duty of the ASUN programming board and like many organizations at the University of Nevada, Reno, there have been hits and misses. In recent years, the board has put on successful shows (Big Sean, Diplo and RL Grime), but the recent Timeflies concert suffered from a lack of planning and minimal advertising which showed by looking at the dismal number of students in attendance. Admittedly, programming has to cater to a diverse audience, but with a six-figure budget and the ability to engage the student population via social media, the board can and should make improvements.
Among all of ASUN's branches, programming is arguably the most visible of any of the forums since the events and concerts that the students attend tie directly to a fee incorporated in their student payments. For this reason, the board should make a concerted effort to engage as many students as they can. Conversely, students need to participate as much as they can if they want to get the most out of their tuition fees paid to ASUN.
Several tactics that could possibly work to engage more students include creating a media panel and then employing a campus survey to find out what kind of music is the prevailing choice among undergraduates at the university.
The new media panel would expand off of the initial programming board and utilize members from Wolf Pack Radio and the music and fine arts departments. Moreover, a student-at-large candidate could help to evenly distribute the level of diversity found at the university. While it is true that the programmers are paid for their work, having a panel made up of students that are committed to the arts would allow the programmers to avoid groupthink by listening to the ideas of the other panelists.
After a board is created, an online voting system used through various social media platforms would give the events more mass appeal and allow the students the option for their voices to be heard. Also if the ability for students to vote on what kind of genre they want to see at the next concert becomes available in the future, the programmers and ASUN would only bolster their commitment to making the students' collective voice be heard.
Beyond a media board, ASUN should consider establishing seasonal events that focus on specific genres. The event themes could remain static from year to year, only changing the musical act. This type of system would be more inclusive of students' music tastes while also giving people events to look forward to throughout the year. By drawing different types of audiences, ASUN will also likely capture a demographic they do not currently have.
Although it should be noted that even if ASUN's programming board is able to overcome the obstacles of its students' varied music tastes, the responsibility then falls on the students to take advantage of a resource they themselves pay for. If the programming board were to implement strategies for online feedback and the students did not respond, then it becomes a moot point for the programming board to even make improvements.
Also, to mitigate the amount of time it would take to tally votes for the proposed forum, it should be limited to just the main concerts in the fall and spring. The programing board would then plan the remainder of the year's events to maintain the independence and creativity of its staff.
At the end of the day, programming won't be able to satisfy everyone's needs, but if they take measures to engage more evenly, then the ball would be placed firmly in the hands of ASUN's main consumer: the students.

"Fighting Words is raw, it is real, it is necessary, a must-read for children and their adults–a total triumph in all ways." —Holly Goldberg Sloan, New York Times bestselling author of Counting by 7s
Ten-year-old Della has always had her older sister, Suki: When their mom went to prison, Della had Suki. When their mom's boyfriend took them in, Della had Suki. When that same boyfriend did something so awful they had to run fast, Della had Suki. Suki is Della's own wolf–her protector. But who has been protecting Suki? Della might get told off for swearing at school, but she has always known how to keep quiet where it counts. Then Suki tries to kill herself, and Della's world turns so far upside down, it feels like it's shaking her by the ankles. Maybe she's been quiet about the wrong things. Maybe it's time to be loud.
In this powerful novel that explodes the stigma around child sexual abuse and leavens an intense tale with compassion and humor, Kimberly Brubaker Bradley tells a story about two sisters, linked by love and trauma, who must find their own voices before they can find their way back to each other.

While many universities have implemented various initiatives and teaching and learning methods to embed the most indemand skills into their degree programmes, there is little evidence in the literature of students' opinions and awareness of these skills. The purpose of this article is to assess, through an empirical study, students' perceptions of the skills commonly identified in the literature as important for the field of accounting and finance. A total of 462 surveys were collected and analysed using the SAS statistical analysis tool. According to the findings, the most important graduate skills are communication skills, followed by analytical skills and self-management. The findings also reveal that the language of instruction is statistically significant for a few graduate skills, including interpersonal, planning and organization, communication, self-management and analytical skills. Age is statistically significant for critical thinking skills and gender is statistically significant for leadership, technological and communication skills.

On 26th September 2018, EUREKA hosted an event entitled Innovation Across Borders "Faster-Further-Together" at the Bibliothèque Solvay in Brussels. Jean-Eric Paquet, European Commission Director-General of Research, and Tim Bestwick, Chair of the EUREKA Network, jointly opened the proceedings. Two business leaders, Bosch and Philips – both members of the ITEA Board – participated in the panel discussion 'Breaking down borders, the secrets of success'. The industry representatives support EUREKA as an efficient international funding instrument through which industry and national authorities work together to enable projects with high economic and societal impact.
Europe has a strong history of successful trans-national technology collaboration. The future Digital Economy requires this strategy of shared innovation to be strengthened and deepened if Europe is to remain globally competitive. By bringing together the best of European talent and technology in focussed projects, the ecosystems of the future are being formed – from which commercial success can be developed and built on. Collaborative innovation is one of the most effective mechanisms for addressing the application and industrial challenges of the future in critical areas such as Mobility, Health and Advanced Manufacturing. Such collaborative projects also include partners that address the need for essential capabilities such as intrinsic security and enhanced connectivity.
Europe has a vast talent pool, with the capability to draw on complementary skills and knowledge from large companies, SMEs, research institutes and academia. Moreover, this collaboration integrates the full value chain from suppliers of core technologies to those developing end-user applications, which increases the likelihood of success for end-products and services. The EUREKA network is particularly relevant in this context, where global collaborative innovation is a key driver for growth, as EUREKA spans forty countries from five continents and offers access to foreign markets through its collaborative projects.
"The EUREKA programme, notably the ITEA and PENTA clusters, enables and empowers strong innovative ecosystems to address societal challenges. Together we are driving the digitalisation of healthcare, improving quality of care and targeting affordable cost levels. The programme also lowers barriers for SMEs to enter into the value chain, providing direct access to potential business opportunities at European and even global scale. The strong collaborative nature of EUREKA is something that the industry highly values.'' stated Casper Garos, Head of Public-Private Partnerships, Innovation Management, Philips.
"Bosch aims to tackle global societal challenges through technological innovation. To achieve the best possible results, we engage in collaborative projects in many of our research and development areas. By bringing together international partners along the entire value chain, EUREKA programmes are important facilitators of groundbreaking innovations. As one of the world's most innovative automotive suppliers, Bosch welcomes the chance to develop new technologies and methods – such as for connected and automated mobility – in collaboration with our EUREKA partners," added Michael Kram, Vice President Systems and Advanced Engineering, Chassis Systems Control, Bosch.

Louise Fishman (United States, 1939-2021) was an established artist known for her ambivalent engagement with male-centered abstract painting traditions.
Her physical and process-driven work remakes the abstract expressionist gesture and the minimalist grid into tools that communicate history and emotion centered in her identities as Jewish, feminist, and lesbian.
A Question of Emphasis: Louise Fishman Drawing is the first career spanning exhibition and publication of Fishman's works on paper from 1964 to the present. The project includes more than 100 works from the artist's archive that have rarely been exhibited alongside significant institutional and private loans.

According to the FCA's official press release, the incriminated ex-worker can no longer provide services to the financial industry in the UK.
Mr. Curtler was found guilty by a New York court on October 8th 2015. The United States District Court stated that he was involved in the manipulation of Deutsche Banks's US dollar LIBOR submission. Currently, the former trader awaits incarceration and faces a maximum prison sentence of 30 years. In addition, the court may force him to pay $1 million in compensation or the double value of any gains or losses incurred by others in connection with his activities.
Until now, the FCA imposed sanctions on eight independent companies associated with the LIBOR scandal. The total sum to date is 758.4 million pounds.
