Learn about ROY LICHTENSTEIN (1923-1997) artist,their past and upcoming works offered at auction at Christie's
For many American artists in the late 1950s the prevailing artistic trend of Abstract Expressionism could no longer express anything relevant in a world dominated by popular culture and mass consumerism. Pioneering Pop Art printmaker and painter Roy Lichtenstein burst onto the scene in the early 1960s with a solution to the problem — an instantly iconic comic-strip style belonging to a Postmodern age in which the boundaries between high and low art had become for ever blurred.
Lichtenstein, the son of a real estate broker, was raised on New York's Upper West Side. He studied at the Art Students League and Ohio State University before being drafted into the US Army. Returning to Ohio State in 1946, he developed a style influenced by Cubism and Abstract Expressionism but, though his early work contained elements of popular and historical culture, it wasn't until he was teaching at New Jersey's Rutgers University that he began to appropriate the style and subject matter of comic strips. Look Mickey appeared in 1961 and its method was furthered in works such as Masterpiece (1962) incorporating the Ben-Day dot, the pointillist printing technique used by the newspaper industry.
By 1964 Lichtenstein's work had earned him fame and notoriety enough for Life magazine to run a profile titled, 'Is He the Worst Artist in America?' The artist would often be dogged by specious accusations of banality and plagiarism, but Lichtenstein's project was one overtly involved with ideas of reproduction and the elevation of the clichés and banalities of popular culture to an iconic, monumental scale. As he said himself: 'I am never drawing the object. I'm only drawing a depiction of the object — a kind of crystallized symbol of it.' With paintings like Whaam! (1963) and lithographs such as Crying Girl (1963) he would create some of the most iconic and important works of Pop Art.
Later in his career he would apply his Pop principals in reverse, with pastiches of established artistic traditions — for example Purism in Purist Painting with Bottles (1975), and Abstract Expressionism in Yellow and Green Brushstrokes (1966).

Jim over at the Unholy Rouleur blog writes some interesting stuff and has a good way with words. If you haven't checked it out before, you should do it. And I'm not just saying that because he played 20 questions with me. But since I've already subjected you to some self promotion, I might as well throw a picture of myself up on this post to continue the trend. Fortunately for you it doesn't include my face.

Well, the rain has been pretty relentless since I returned from the VA trip (final reports soon, I promise). Heavy storms, frequent rain, general wetness, trails soaked most of the time. Let's hope things are doing a little better in Hazelton, WV. Why is that you ask? Well, this weekend is the annual 24 Hours of Big Bear and we'll be heading out with a team of fixed gear riders again this year. Always a good time, but dry trails are preferred. I need to get some saddle time on the Qball, I haven't spent time on the fixed MTB lately. Let's hope I can quickly find my Mojo. Here's the Big Bear reports from 2008 and 2007 in case you feel like reliving the fun.
Big Bear tends to be like a big MTB family reunion, maybe I'll see you out there. Look for the Clipper City and SSOFT banners.

Home News & Analysis Deals Whitehelm completes Swedish wind deal
Whitehelm completes Swedish wind deal
The Australian fund manager has acquired a majority interest in the Storrun wind farm on behalf of superannuation fund Prime Super.
Andy Thomson
Whitehelm Capital (Whitehelm), the Australian fund manager, has completed the acquisition of a majority interest in the 30-megawatt (MW) Storrun wind farm in Jamtland, Sweden. The vendor was Denmark's DONG Energy.
The acquisition was made on behalf of Prime Super, the Australian superannuation fund which Whitehelm advises. Prime Super serves rural and regional Australians, including those in the health and aged care sectors, and has A$2.5 billion (€1.7 billion; $2.0 billion) in assets.
Storrun is an onshore wind farm with a five-year operating history that was acquired through a negotiated process between Whitehelm and DONG. The sale is part of DONG's strategy to divest non-core assets in order to focus on its offshore wind business.
"This investment, with five years of operating history, a long-term power purchase agreement and a wrapped operations and maintenance agreement, will be a good fit for Prime Super's portfolio," said Stephen Burns, head of investments Europe and Americas, at Whitehelm.
"We would hope that this investment is the first of many in the Nordic renewables sector," he added.
Whitehelm has made two previous renewable investments in Oaklands Hill in Victoria, Australia, and Miaoli Wind in Taiwan.
As well as Whitehelm, the buyer was advised by Baker & McKenzie, PWC, Sgurr Energy and Willis.
Whitehelm was formed in July this year when the infrastructure activities of Australian Stock Exchange-listed financial services firm Challenger Limited were merged with infrastructure fund manager and adviser Access Capital Advisers.

Giants at Cowboys 2014, Week 7
Giants at Cowboys: Coughlin, Giants focus attention on beating Cowboys
Giants try to move on from last Sunday's debacle in Philadelphia.

Tom Coughlin during Wednesday's press conference
Giants.com
The New York Giants are 3-3, going on the road to face the 5-1 Dallas Cowboys this weekend, still stinging from a 27-0 thrashing Sunday by the Philadelphia Eagles, and trying to overcome the loss of star wide receiver Victor Cruz as well as other key injuries.
"There's a lot of things we're trying to deal with right now," head coach Tom Coughlin said during his Wednesday press conference. "We're trying as hard as we can to move on from the last one."
Coughlin was asked about the comment by Eli Manning that the Giants "have to grow up."
"I didn't know he said that," Coughlin responded. "I think he's referring to the fact that as a team I personally felt we weren't as focused as we could have been last week. I did not think we reacted well to adversity during the game. Some of that concept that we talk about team has got to develop and grow."
Coughlin indicated that Preston Parker, as expected, will get the opportunity to replace Cruz in the slot.
"We have people that are gonna get their chances. We still have an outstanding receiving group on the field," Coughlin said. "We'll have to do a really good job of picking our spots, putting people in the right spots doing the things that they can contribute the best."
The coach admitted there will have to be adjustments in the passing attack.
"You address everything to the ability of the player," Coughlin said. "There will definitely be adjustments."
Another key injury for the Giants is that of Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, the star cornerback who is dealing with a variety of leg ailments. Coughln said Rodgers-Cromartie would practice on a limited basis Wednesday.
"We're doing everything we can to help him," Coughlin said.
After surrendering 202 yards rushing last week against Philadelphia the Giants face league-leading rusher DeMarco Murray this week. Murray has 785 yards rushing already and has been above 100 yards in all six Dallas games.
"We've played the run pretty well up until that game last weekend," Coughlin said. "I'm confident we can get back on track and do a better job of leverage and contain and turning the ball back inside and all the things that you saw that we did not do."
Coughlin also indicated that Rashad Jennings (MCL sprain) would not practice or play this week, and that the Giants hope the running back will return after the bye week. Jayron Hosley will start in the slot with Trumaine McBride having been placed on IR.

The year 2021 will open a lot of scopes for local investors and the country's special economic zone looks set to see a flow of foreign investments, particularly from Japan and China, in areas like electric car plant, says Salman F Rahman, private sector industry and investment adviser to the prime minister.
In an interview with The Business Standard, he elaborates on the improvements made so far in land and company registrations and initiatives to ease trade licensing and give more tasks to Bida to improve Bangladesh's ranking in the ease of doing business index.
He appreciates the positive change in understanding of top level of administration but feels that the mindset in mid- and lower levels needs change to understand why businesses need speedier delivery of services they need.
The government is forming a dedicated small claim court to resolve small business disputes in January to step up ease of doing business, he says.
Long queues of unresolved small business disputes that deal with financial amounts ranging from Tk5 lakh to Tk10 lakh has remained a big minus point in the ease of doing business index of the World Bank. The prime minister's adviser believes that by setting up this court Bangladesh's ranking would drastically jump up.
We will be reaping the benefits in 2022: Salman
In the virtual interview on Wednesday, Salman F Rahman said the court will be formed by the law ministry with the help of the chief justice and it will have a set of practice directives outlining how quickly such cases would be resolved.
"This will be a permanent system," he said, adding that an existing law dealing with small business disputes is too complex to solve such cases and that the law would be amended later.
Salman F Rahman was discussing ease of doing business as well as the outlook of 2021 and beyond.
He looks at 2021 as a transitional period as the world is still reeling from the impact of Covid-19. But he believes that there will be large-scale Japanese investment in the Japanese special economic zone at Araihajar.
There are other large investment proposals in the pipeline. But their materialisation will depend on how fast the world recovers from the pandemic.
"The biggest thing that will happen in 2021 is mass vaccination. As England has approved the AstraZeneca vaccine, we can expect the vaccine to arrive in 10 to 15 days in Dhaka," he said. This will pave way for Bangladesh to become "normal" quickly.
"We are also getting large domestic investment proposals," he said, adding that many young entrepreneurs are planning to invest in electronics and consumer goods as Bangladesh's purchase power has increased.
He noted that there is a Bangladesh-China joint venture in Bangabandhu Industrial Area to build electric cars for domestic and export markets.
Salman F Rahman noted that considering the successful implementation of low bank interest regime, a new dynamic leadership of the Securities and Exchange Commission that was reviving the stock market, and the introduction of bond market – the financial elasticity and diversity of the country has expanded like never before. Bangladeshi investors will get a lot of scope in 2021.
The government was also working on organising the small and medium enterprises to help them grow.
"There will be a lot of work in 2021, but we will start getting results from 2022," he pointed out.

As Amir Khan begins to wind down his decorated ring career, gifted Gants Hill teenager Hamzah Sheeraz fantasises of picking up the mantle for Britain's sizeable and expanding Pakistani fight community, writes Glynn Evans.
They don't tax you for dreaming!
A three time national junior finalist who has already been boxing for a decade, sharpshooter Sheeraz replicated the Bolton wonder by inking a pro deal with Hall of Fame promoter Frank Warren earlier this year – amidst much fanfare – at the callow age of 18.
'Amir was a hero so, in time, it'd be nice to pick up the reins!' quips the Andy Ayling managed super-welter who debuts in a four rounder against 173 fight veteran Kevin McCauley on the monster bill at The Copper Box on Saturday week.
'I signed my pro contract on my 18th birthday so it was a dual celebration with a huge turnout of family and friends. A lot of the Pakistani media channels were there and I know my community is right behind me. Hopefully, I can give them somebody to look up to and follow.
The Essex express first laced up shortly after starting junior school.
'My uncle Humeran was a multiple national champion for the Slough and Pinewood Star clubs and he steered me to the Debden amateur gym when I was just eight,' recalls the handsome and articulate Sheeraz who is schooled by Lennie Butcher at the thriving Five Star gym in Romford.
'Though I was energetic, I was always a calm kid but when I began hitting the pads, the coach John Maskell told me I had natural hand speed and footwork.
'When I was 13, I represented England schoolboys over in Denmark and made it to three national junior finals but got edged out each time. I was always extremely tall and rangy for my weight and, as a youngster, used to fly around the ring popping the jab. Not many could touch me. I only lost ten or 11 of my 80 amateur bouts.
As one on the nation's youngest pros, the swift and stylish Sheeraz can expect an extended apprenticeship whilst his frame acclimatizes to the austere demands of the profession.
'We'll just take things step by step, aim for a Southern Area title then take things from there,' he says.
'For the pros, I'm learning to set my feet more and work inside. I do a lot of 'in house' sparring with Sanjeev (Singh Sahota) and Harley Benn.
'But the best I've sparred would have to be (British welterweight king) Bradley Skeete over at Al Smith's gym. Similar to me, he's tall and rangy and possesses the best jab I've ever been hit with. Brad's such a humble guy yet there's so much I can learn from him.
Expect an Asian invasion at the old Olympic venue later this month, as his community converge and provide their protégé with a rousing send-off ahead of his new venture.
'Debuting on a world championship undercard is massive; a terrific bill to get some recognition,' he concludes.
Billy Joe Saunders makes the second defence of his WBO Middleweight World title against Willie Monroe Jr in the evening's main event; Ilford Light-Heavy powerhouse Anthony Yarde fights for the Vacant WBO Inter-Continental Title; teenage Heavyweight sensation Daniel Dubois takes on AJ Carter for the Vacant Southern Area strap in only his fifth contest; knockout artist Joe Pigford fights for the Vacant WBO European Super-Welterweight title.
Some of the very best up-and-coming prospects in the country including Welling Super-Featherweight Archie Sharp; Ilford Super-Bantamweight Lucien Reid; Fulham Super-Middleweight Zak Chelli, New Malden Super-Middleweight Lerrone Richards and Erith Flyweight Jake Pettit feature. Ilford Welterweight Hamza Sheeraz, Tamworth Light-Heavyweight Ryan Hatton and Ilford Super-Middleweight Umar Sadiq all make their highly-anticipated pro debuts.

Oorlogsmuseum Ossendrecht is a private museum, found by Jan de Jonge. Jan has been collecting souvenirs from the Second World War his whole life (Born 1943). The collecting began in and around his house in Zeeland, but also at his grandparents' place in Brabant. Collecting has become a true passion for him. From the start, Jan has enjoyed collecting and showing others his collection. In the beginning, he did this by setting up exhibitions in places like Goes, Middelburg, Vlissingen, Dordrecht, Klundert, Eede, IJzendijke, Den Haag, Breskens, Utrecht, Westdorp, Hoogerheide and Amsterdam, but also in Belgian places like Essen and La Gleize.
The De Jonge family lived in the village Sinoutskerke, near Goes, in a small farmhouse. After Jan quit his job as a teacher, he slowly started to build up a museum in the barn attached to the house. Together with some volunteers he worked on the museum for many years while also collecting new items. However, the barn was deteriorating, and renovation was required. Expansion and reconstruction weren't possible then, so a new location had to be found. Photo's of the museum in Sinoutskerke can be found in the picture album.
Jan's in-laws lived in Ossendrecht at that time. This is where a new location for the museum was found. The building is the former Catholic Military Quarters near the Koningin Wilhelminakazerne, also called legerplaats Ossendrecht.
The rebuilding process of the museum turned out more difficult than it seemed. Jan has been spending the first years setting up the museum as he wishes. Fortunately he had help from friends and volunteers.
The construction of the museum is now finished . In the end, the goal is not to make a mass attraction out of the museum. It is meant as a museum for selective visitors, where they get a personal and, according to us, pleasant and informative tour. Tours can be provided on request in English, German, French and Polish.
For people that would like to know more about the battle that has been raging in the area around the museum, and about the battle for Antwerpen and the Schelde, we can provide a so-called 'Battle Tour'. During this, we visit monuments and battlefields. For more information, please visit the 'Battle Tour' page.
Grandson Kevin Oats started the website in his 18th year. It is professionally set up and expanded by Budget Media Design Goes.


In my Deposits and Other Scheduled Transactions, I'm seeing payees that are repeated and cannot remove them.
I've been using Quicken Home & Business 2012 and though by upgrading this issue is resolved, but it is still showing an error in Reckon 2018.
Seems like an indexing issue, does anyone have an idea?

Q: Android - disable notifydatasetchanged for existing items Is it possible to disable the refresh of the RecyclerView for the items already existing ?
Because when I refresh the RecyclerView after adding new items, we can see visually the refreshing of the RecyclerView.
I think we can see the refreshing because of the ImageView in each items.
So I want to disable notifydatasetchangedfor existing items.

A: If you're using RecyclerView, you should use [notifyItemRangeInserted](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v7/widget/RecyclerView.Adapter.html#notifyItemRangeInserted(int, int)) method (and friends) to refresh only items that were added, instead of notifyDatasetChanged. You can also refresh only items that have changed (notifyItemChanged) or that an item has moved (notifyItemMoved)

Every thing changes – everything remains the same
Simon BurallSenior Associate
Most museums tend to focus on the physical artefacts of the times and societies that they are portraying. It will be interesting to see if the Met Collection, a new museum which has just opened up in west London, gets beyond the way uniforms have changed and truncheons have altered in shape and size. To what extent will it explore the changing relationship between the police and the communities they serve?
At a recent seminar hosted by Involve, James Brokenshire MP (Shadow Minister for Home Affairs) highlighted the Nine Principles of policing developed by the founder of the Metropolitan Police. Two of these strike a chord for us at Involve:
Point 3 says: "Police must secure the willing co-operation of the public in voluntary observance of the law to be able to secure and maintain the respect of the public."
And Point 7 says: 7. Police, at all times, should maintain a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and the public are the police; the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence."
The structures and methods used by the policy have changed radically – witness for example the ever expanding range of acronyms to describe the ways in which police forces work in partnership with other organisations to engage with communities; see for example CRDPs (Crime Reduction and Disorder Partnerships), CSPs (Community Safety Partnerships), LSPs (Local Strategic Partnerships) and LAAs (Local Area Agreements). However, the principle that the community has a role to play in fighting crime has remained a constant.
In these harsh financial times, it will be interesting to see whether police forces are able to demonstrate how community engagement contributes to community safety and falling crime rates; or will engagement be one of the first things to go as budgets get cut? Our research tells us that when it is done well, community participation in decision-making and problem solving makes for more effective decisions. We would argue therefore that a smarter look at the way authorities engage with communities is needed.
The current financial crisis offers the opportunity to focus on those engagement activities which are most efficient while cutting those that are merely box ticking to meet a central government target. Hopefully this opportunity will be grasped, because Peel's principles remain as relevant as ever.


These regular fit Lasman chino golf trousers are one of the most popular styles from any Hugo Boss collection and we love the look of this stylish black colour way. Contrast pipe detail features at the rear pockets, whilst the five pocket and regular fit design is a great look for both on and off the golf course this season. Satin quality finish with added stretch for total comfort, new for Pre-Spring 2016.


Larios Malaga Fashion Week. A Must-See.
Pasarela Larios Malaga is the most important fashion event in Malaga. It is celebrated along the iconic Marqués de Larios street and its 300m runway is the longest haute couture catwalk in Europe. The event attracts big names on the fashion scene and gathers more than 15,000 people every day, with the audience sharing the street with well-known models and local, Spanish and international designers.
Any owner of a Spanish property may want to let it. A new holiday property rental law was introduced in February 2016, but due to lack of clarity in the document Junta de Andalucía released an additional document (Instrucción 1/2016) in November 2016. The main important requirement is the "tourist" registration of property for which you need to have an LPO. What does this mysterious word mean and why is it so important?
The prices of homes on most of Spanish coasts grew by 6.1% year-on-year in June, with current average price 1,757 euros/per m2. During the 2nd quarter prices increased on average by 2.3%. The price of properties on the coast is 5.6% higher than the average for the rest of the country, which stood at 1,664 euros per m2.
Current issuing of fixed mortgages beats previous volumes: reaching maximum in April and heading for a record-breaking year. In the last 16 months, approximately 35% of all mortgages formalized in Spain have been at a fixed interest rate, an unprecedented number to date.
How many properties have it all: value, location, generous plot, beautiful setting, jaw-dropping views, top quality construction, cutting edge equipment, functional elegance of interiors, class and style all the way, plus that wow factor making it truly special?
Investors and developers, invest your money today in a healthy real estate market with attractive appreciation of capital in the foreseeable future. Homebuyers, consider taking advantage of the current price level before it increases further.
Exclusivity of a property starts from its location. Relatively new dynamic upmarket area of La Alquería with its extraordinary beauty of South Andalusian nature and stunning panoramic views is a 'meeting point'. Benahavís, Marbella and Estepona municipalities meet right there.
Time doesn't stand still, and change happens. Drumelia Real Estate hopes its clients get some clarity to make the decision when registering their property. There are no restrictions on buying property in Spain, whether it's commercial, residential or land, whether you are a resident or non-resident. A foreigner will require a valid passport, a financial number and enough money. Speaking of which, time passed when a buyer could pay cash and get the keys.

Szilágyi Arabella (szül: Spiegel Arabella) (Sárvár, 1861. november 17.– Budapest, 1918. április 27.) magyar opera-énekesnő (szoprán).

Élete
Zsidó családban született. Édesapja, Spiegel Albert, édesanyja, Heimer Amália (1840–1916) volt. Egyetlen édestestvére, Spiegel Kamilla (†1938), Hajdú Pál főtanácsosnak a felesége volt.

1880–81-ben már fellépett a Nemzeti Színházban, majd Bécsben Csillag Rózánál tanult. 1886-ban lett az Operaház tagja. Fellépése a Säckingeni trombitás (Nessler) női főszerepében a színház történetének egyik leghatalmasabb bukása volt. Később, igazán valódi primadonnát Gustav Mahler nevelt belőle. A korabeli kritikák tanúsága szerint sikerrel énekelte Brünnhildét "A walkür" 1889-es magyarországi bemutatóján, Gustav Mahler vezényletével. Ő volt az első Santuzza (Mascagni: Parasztbecsület) az Operaház bemutatóján, amely három héttel a római ősbemutató után zajlott le, 1890. decemberben. Gustav Mahler távozását követően eltűnt a színházból. Nikisch Arthur 1894-ben ismét visszaszerződtette, mert az 1890-es években ő volt a drámai szerepek egyetlen lehetséges alakítója. 1898 után hangverseny-énekesként lépett fel. 1908-tól a Fodor zeneiskolában énektanítással foglalkozott.

Arabella egyetlen leánya, az ismeretlen apától való dr. Szilágyi Ágota, nyelvész, történelem tudós volt. Dr. Szilágyi Ágotának a férje, ifjabb Fedák István (1875-1921), gazdasági titkár, városi rendőrkapitány volt, Fedák Sári színésznő bátyja.

1960 was a one year only body style for Imperial. It was also one of the most flamboyant Imperials ever designed. A grinning grill, sparrow strainer tail lights, and the first application of electro-luminescent gauges, among other things, makes this my favorite year Imperial. Pseudo futuristic features such as the square steering wheel made it's first appearance on this car. The dash gauges and their ornamentation have a distinct jet-age flavor that ties into many of the other styling excesses.
The Ghia limousine took exceptionally well to this body style. By 1960 they were shipping 4 door cars to Italy and converting them.
The limousine style back window came directly from Chrysler on its LeBaron models. Rear door trim panels from Ghia featured stretched construction but with reversed stock armrests converted to Ghia specifications.
The traditional Ghia badge made its first appearance on this year's limousine.
Chrysler loaded every one of these cars up with equipment not common to previous year model Ghias such as: power locks, power vents (new for this year), Mirro-Matic rearview mirror, and cruise control. This was also the first year where the Ghias were not built on one of the original 1957 bodies and then updated for that current year model.
Along with the whole new body and a greater degree of factory engineering came a vastly improved frame. This is the first year that Ghia built the car of off the new Imperial 413 wedge head, not the Hemi. The photographs detail how different the 1960 is from previous Imperials.
The Ghia conversion details were nearly identical to previous year models with the exception of jump seat design, rear assist handle design, the addition of the Leece-Neville alternator system, and the fact a larger degree of the external trim was supplied by the factory. Ghia also eliminated the factory front eyebrow trim that came on 1960's (above headlights on fender) and leaded over the holes. Interior door handles were also new for this year and on the rear ones because of their new location on the door they had to be cut at the head, repositioned, re-welded, and re-chromed.
Do not be fooled by any of these pictures, the car needs a complete restoration. Over the years of owning this car I have collected and/or replaced many of the rare parts that will be needed to restore this automobile. As a result, everything on this car with the exception of the clocks and the rear radio, function beautifully. I even rebuilt the front and rear air-conditioning, including the compressor, hoses, and push button controls. The way I kept track of my work progression was by painting everything that I repaired. You will see that in the photographs. I've rebuilt the suspension, the generator, the brake system, the horns, and I pulled off the engine valve covers and oil pan and checked bearing conditions. I've been through the electrical system on the car as well and made everything function including power vents, power windows, power locks, front radio and antenna. Let me say this again, the car will need a complete restoration but will serve until then as fully functioning Ghia with a bad rear interior.
To facilitate this restoration, included in the sale of the car is many necessary parts. First off, a full set of reproduction side glasses, reproduction rear quarter inner wood, new tail light lenses and reflectors, an incredible condition textured dash cowl, completely restored LeBaron hubcaps with new reproduction centers plus spare centers, and finally a complete trunk floor and quarter panel set (the replacement panels have a very light amount of rust–pictured), plus four lower doors, all for rust repair. A fresh and functioning Leece-Neville spare alternator along with various other parts is included. One deviation from stock will be the rear radio supplied with the vehicle has the correct control panel however the radio is out of a 1955-56 limousine that would have been mounted in the front, so it has an extra long cable. Both units have been rebuilt and function perfectly. The rear radio will mount in the trunk by the air conditioner and cannot be seen.
What's wrong with the car: Beside needing a complete restoration it is extremely rusty. Also the Imperial emblems on a Ghia that appear on the fenders and the trunk were specific to 1960-61. The ones on this car are not correct but have a very close appearance.
Jackie Kennedy in the 1960's was a style icon. She came from a fabulously wealthy family and married into the Kennedy family. Prior to becoming the first lady she was recognized as a trend setter. Her husband was elected into office in 1960 and instead of choosing the Whitehouse standard of Cadillac, she chose a Ghia limousine. Her 1961 ('60 and '61's were identical body styles from Ghia) appears in this picture outside the Capitol as she leaves from viewing her husband lying in state.

Erik Norby
The colourful and the narrative are two qualities that inevitably spring to mind when one listens to the music of Erik Norby (b. 1936). While the composer's imagination was fired in his earlier years by musical modernism - this was in the 1960s - he quickly abandoned it again. Since then he has composed music of a fundamentally Romantic character. Besides the considerable number of vocal works Erik Norby has composed, it is his orchestral music - especially his perpetuation of the symphonic poem tradition - that has profiled the work of the composer.
Norby made his public debut as a composer in 1963 with his Folk Song Suite for orchestra. He had actually been admitted to the Royal Academy of Music in Copenhagen widh the trumpet as his instrument, but the urge to compose gradually gained the upper hand. At the Academy Norby's talent was nourished by training in orchestration from one of the greatest experts in that area of Danish music, the composer Leif Kayser. Norby was also able to spend some time studying with his four-year-older colleague Per Nørgård at the Roayl Academy of Music Århus before taking his final diploma in 1966 in composidon and music theory. Then he was engaged by the North Jutland Academy of Music in Aalborg as a teacher, a job he held until 1975. Since then Norby has lived as a freelance composer.
His big breakthrough came in 1975 with the symphonic poem Regnbueslangen (The Rainbow Serpent). The work, based on an Amerindian legend of how the rainbow appeared in the heavens, was very positively received by audiences and critics alike. The year after its world premiere with the Danish National Radio Symphony Orchestra, conducted by John Frandsen (a performance recorded on the LP BISLP-80), it was performed at the ISCM Music Days in Boston. At Rostrum - the international radiophonic tape exchange fair - in Paris the same year it was selected as a "recommended work" and subsequendy broadcast by radio stadons all over the world. In Holland the Netherlands Dance Theatre even performed a ballet based on the score. Regnbueslangen is undoubtedly Norby's best known work - but the composer has written many other orchestral works that deserve just as much attention.

At least 26 PKK terrorists were "neutralized" in counter-terrorism operations across Turkey over the past week, the country's Interior Ministry said on Monday.
The ministry said in a statement that a total of 2,817 anti-terror operations were conducted between Dec. 3 and 10.
One terrorist was killed, 19 were captured, while another six terrorists surrendered to Turkish security forces, the statement said.
Security forces seized two hand grenades, 428 kilograms of explosive material, four improvised explosives, 21 long-barreled weapons and 2,027 ammunition.
The security forces also arrested 3,290 suspects for crimes linked to drugs and smuggling, 926 others for aiding and abetting terror organizations and 187 suspects for human trafficking.
A total of 4,567 irregular migrants were caught during the operations, according to the statement.

Q: Recognizing special cases of a defined function for permuted arguments I have a number of ugly ways to implement the following pattern recognition task, but I'm looking for something elegant to keep my notebook tidy.
I need to define a function of six variables $f(a,b,c;A,B,C)$ which is known to be unchanged under the simultaneous interchange of any two of $a,b,c$ and of the corresponding $A,B,C$:
$$\begin{align}&f(a,b,c;A,B,C) = f(a,c,b;A,C,B) = f(b,a,c;B,A,C) \\
 =&f(b,c,a;B,C,A) = f(c,a,b;C,A,B) = f(c,b,a;C,B,A)\end{align}$$
EDIT for clarity: Given one definition, how do I get Mathematica to try all possibilities within the restricted set of permutations shown above for pattern matching?  I need to mimic the effect of SetAttributes[f,Orderless].
More concretely, if I define the special case:
f[a_, 0, b_, A_, 0, C_] := (a+b)/(A-C)

a function call f[x, y, 0, m, n, 0] should match, and return (x+y)/(m-n).  But f[x, y, 0, m, 0, n] should not match, and thus return it must be returned unevaluated.
Added question:  Instead of finding a way to get Mathematica to try all the possibilities when pattern matching, would it be easier to write code such that when a representative definition for f is made, the kernel automatically adds further definitions of f for the remaining permutations of the arguments?

A: I would do this by defining a preferred ordering to sort the first three arguments.
In this example I will use canonical Mathematica Ordering but in principle you could use anything.
I would define
f[a_, b_, c_, A_, B_, C_] := With[
   {order = Ordering[{a, b, c}]}, (* Get ordering of first three arguments *)
   f @@ {
     Sequence @@ ({a, b, c}[[order]]), (* Sort first three arguments *)
     Sequence @@ ({A, B, C}[[order]])  (* Reorder second three similarly *)
     }
   ] /; Not[OrderedQ[{a, b, c}]] (* Avoid infinite loop. *)

Then
f[c, b, a, C, B, A]
(* = f[a, b, c, A, B, C] *)
f[3, 0, -3, foo, bar, baz]
(* = f[-3, 0, 3, baz, bar, foo] *)

etc.

A: I think you need to use a group-theoretical construction. In this way you will have full freedom in specifying any group of permutations you need. In your case the group is
G = PermutationGroup[{Cycles[{{1, 2}, {4, 5}}], Cycles[{{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}}]}];

This generates a symmetric group on {1, 2, 3}, which also forces the same permutations on {4, 5, 6}. These are the group elements, as permutation lists:
PermutationList[#, 6] & /@ GroupElements[G]

{{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, {1, 3, 2, 4, 6, 5}, {2, 1, 3, 5, 4, 6}, {2, 3, 1, 5, 6, 4}, {3, 1, 2, 6, 4, 5}, {3, 2, 1, 6, 5, 4}}

There are six permutations, corresponding to those of the symmetric group on {1, 2, 3}.
Now construct the following function:
SetAttributes[SetDelayedPermuted, {HoldAll, SequenceHold}];

SetDelayedPermuted[f_[args___], rhs_, group_] := ((f[##] := rhs) & @@@ Permute[{args}, group];)

Let us try your definition, though I'm changing the - sign in the denominator to a + sign, because otherwise I think there is some inconsistency:
SetDelayedPermuted[f[a_, 0, b_, A_, 0, C_], (a + b)/(A + C), G]

Now we check your two cases (remember I changed a sign):
f[x, y, 0, m, n, 0]

(x + y) / (m + n)

f[x, y, 0, m, 0, n]

f[x, y, 0, m, 0, n]

We can see how many definitions were actually needed:
??f

Global`f

f[b_,0,a_,C_,0,A_]:=(a+b)/(A+C)
f[b_,a_,0,C_,A_,0]:=(a+b)/(A+C)
f[0,b_,a_,0,C_,A_]:=(a+b)/(A+C)

Note how symmetry in both a<->b and A<->C was implemented simultaneously (hence we ended up with 3 definitions, instead of 6). That's why I think a consistent definition was having (a+b)/(A+C) or (a-b)/(A-C) but not (a+b)/(A-C) on the right hand side.

A: I think Bob Hanlon had the right idea in using Orderless but his suggestion is overly naive.
Instead we must treat only the triplets as orderless so we will need an additional head.
Edit: my answer was also wrong, but I am updating it with the correction from your comment below.
SetAttributes[f1, Orderless]

f[a_, b_, c_, A_, B_, C_] :=
 With[{body = f1[{a, A}, {b, B}, {c, C}]}, body /; Head[body] =!= f1]

f1[{a_, A_}, {0, 0}, {c_, C_}] := (a + c)/(A - C)

Now:
f[x, y, 0, m, n, 0]

f[x, y, 0, m, 0, n]

(x + y)/(m - n)

f[x, y, 0, m, 0, n]

A: Give f the attribute Orderless
SetAttributes[f, Orderless];

f[0, 0, 0, 0, z_, z_] = -(1/z);
f[0, 0, 0, 0, y_, z_] = -(1/(y - z)) Log[y/z];

f @@@ Permutations[{0, 0, 0, 0, z, z}] // Union

{-(1/z)}

f @@@ Permutations[{0, 0, 0, 0, y, z}] // Union

{-(Log[y/z]/(y - z))}

School Bus Driver Killed In Accident That Left Eight Children Injured
A school bus rolled over on a Mississippi highway, killing the driver and injuring all eight of the children on board. Four of the children were airlifted to a local hospital and are listed in serious condition. The other four students suffered minor injuries and are expected to be released from the hospital before the end of the day.
Officials believe that the driver, identified as William "Chester" Cole, suffered a cardiac event before losing control of the bus. Benton County Coroner Larry Hobson said the Cole clutched his chest and slumped over the steering wheel before the bus crashed.
"[Cole] was one of the most dependable drivers we had in the district. He was a very hardworking man. I'm sorry this happened. I give my regards to the family," Benton County Schools Superintendent Steve Bostick said at the scene of the crash.
Officials say Cole had just started his daily route and had only picked up eight students, who were between 7 and 13 years old.
David Loyd, the stepfather of one of the injured students, told WMC-TV that his stepdaughter, 13-year-old Halie Williams, suffered a fractured jaw along with a broken leg and ankle in the crash.
"I'm just going to give her great big old hug and tell her that I'm glad she's alright," Loyd told the news station.

Much More Than Girl Power:
Jacqueline Serrato
International Women's Day was marked by celebrations around the globe on March 8, at Colgate in the Women's Studies Center, with events sponsored by Women's Studies, the Dean of the College, the Sophomore Year Experience and the Office of Undergraduate Studies.
The day celebrated the achievements of women internationally in the economic, political and social spheres. The idea of holding such a day was born in 1909 out of consideration for women's role in the world's rapid industrialization and economic growth.
At a protest of poor working conditions staged on March 8, 1857, police violently responded by attacking the women demonstrators. Two years later, the women involved organized the first female labor union. The same day in March saw further demonstrations in the following years.
At the first International Women's Conference, held in 1910, International Women's Day was officially established.
Colgate's celebration saw students, faculty and staff gather in the Women's Studies Center lounge. Goodie bags filled with candy, pens and condoms were distributed to every guest.
Sisters of the Round Table (SORT) Senior Advisor senior Kia King opened the event by giving a historical background about the worldwide celebration. Program Assistant Cassie Quirindongo '06 facilitated the day's activities.
Quirindongo made a public invitation to the catered buffet of international cuisine. Guests enjoyed a variety of foods of Native American, Japanese and Puerto Rican origins. A slice of cheesecake and banana dessert was the last course of the meal.
While people bit into their sushi or sipped on their fruit punch, several students took the stage to present pieces of poetry, to sing or play an instrument or to talk about their experiences being a woman in their particular culture or a foreign setting.
First-year Tanya Matos began by reciting a poem entitled Julia de Burgos, by the Puerto Rican poet of the same name.
"I represented Puerto Rico. I chose to perform that poem because it expresses how society sees the narrator as a mother and wife, but she wants to be who she wants to be and not what others want her to be. I find it powerful that she doesn't give in to society's expectations and stereotypes," she said.
Native American junior Audrey Stevens spoke about the matriarchal environment she grew up in. She talked about the customs of her particular tribe, and specifically about the rite of passage that young girls must engage in as they enter womanhood.
Other performers included senior Nzinga Job, juniors Courtney Richardson and Dominick Ruggerio, sophomore Jahnelle McMillan and Liddy Kang Covington, and Africana and Latin American Studies Program Assistant Sylvia Smith '06.
"I personally never knew that this day was celebrated worldwide, but I would definitely like to see more people involved next year," Matos said.
SORT Liaison first-year Myra Guevara applauded the day's event.
"I feel that it is important to reach out to different people with different interests and from different backgrounds and encourage them to come into the Center," Guevara said. "International Women's Day is a unifying day and bringing different dishes from all over the world was a reminder of that global unity."


If you are injured while working for an employer who employs five or more persons, then you could have a claim for worker's compensation under Alabama's Worker's Compensation Law. You may also have claim for that same job injury against a third party for negligence (for example, a car wreck caused by a non-employee) or a manufacturer of a defective product (e.g., machine, tool, instruments, vehicle, etc.).
Recoverable damages under the Alabama Worker's Compensation Act are generally very limited including only limited wage loss benefits, medical benefits and vocational retraining. Damages for a Alabama Worker's Compensation claim do not include physical injury or pain and suffering. If you have a claim which is covered by Alabama Worker's Compensation Act, you are permitted to also bring an action against third parties for those same injuries based on negligence or a defective product but you cannot bring an action against the employer or co-employees for negligence.
Based on Alabama case law, safety guards or safety devices have included car door latches, press machine buttons, a lever to stop or reverse a machine for safety purposes, and saw blade guards. On the other hand, Alabama cases hold that "willful conduct" does not include the failure to provide protective clothing or the failure to add guards not provided by the manufacturer of the product.
If the employer has less than five employees (such that the Alabama Worker's Compensation Act does not apply), then traditional tort claims (such as negligence, recklessness, and failure to maintain a safe workplace) may be brought against the employer and/or co-employees.
Our firm has represented clients with co-employee claims and, in many cases, received substantial recoveries for our client. In one case, the employee's supervisor taped open a foot control guard thereby disabling the guard. The purpose of the foot guard was to prevent the employee from accidentally starting the press machine while body parts were in pinch point areas of the machine. The employee later accidentally pressed the foot pedal causing the press machine to amputate his index and middle finger on one hand.
In another case, a co-employee removed the top off of a screw conveyor. According to the company engineer, the top of the screw conveyor existed to prevent human contact with the screw. After the top of the conveyor was removed, the employee was standing on top of the open screw conveyor when another co-employee activated the screw. The employee's legs were pulled into the screw resulting in the amputation of one leg and the permanent maiming of the other leg.
If you have been injured on the job, you need to call an attorney at out firm for an appointment. You will not be charged a fee in any personal injury case unless we recover for you.
We sincerely appreciate you considering Burns Garner Law Firm for your potential job injury claim.


The Brugmansia is a beautiful plant with large, trumpet-like flowers which are 15 to 20 cm wide. This species produces white flowers and originates from the Andes, where the brush occurs at heights up to 3.000 meters. Because of this height, it fares quite well against the cold. You can keep this plant a s a container plant, but you can also cultivate it in outdoor soil. As a container plant, you can protect the plant against the frost if you want to keep it the way it is. However, if you let it stand outside during winter, the frost will make sure everything above the ground dies off, allowing the plant to rejuvenate next fall. Both methods require you to provide a spot in partial shade.
The flowers are pollinated by moths that are attracted through the white colour of the flowers and the fragrance that is mainly spread during the evening.
The seeds and leaves are eaten by Indians to make contact with their ancestors or look in the future. However, an overdose is lethal, so you shouldn't try it yourselves. The genus Brugmansia is named after Sebald Justinus Brugmans, who was a Dutch professor from the city of Leiden.
Soak the seeds in water for 24 hours. Then sow them in sowing mix at around 25 degC. Keep the soil constantly moist. Germination occurs after several weeks or months.
