Many adjustments will be expected, both of the new puppy and the new owner. It is up to you to set the tone of your new relationship. The key works to remember are love, patience, and a gentle consistent attitude towards the beginning of discipline. Decide now what your ground rules for the puppy will be. Decide where he is to sleep and prepare for it. Decide what area of the property you will take him to go to the bathroom and then take him there ever time. Carry him there when he is little. Never feed from the table and he will not become an annoying beggar. Be firm with your children about this. Prepare for frequent walks to accommodate his immature bladder. He should be walked immediately after rising, after every meal, after every nap and the last thing at night. He is by nature clean and will try to help. You will soon learn his signals of sniffing and circling, so regard these and walk him if you observe these signals. Praise, praise, praise every time he performs correctly. Be positive in your attitude in training, never negative. He is a baby until he is at least six months of age and more. Scolding for mistakes is not done in the early weeks after you bring the puppy home and remember not to scold after the fact. He is a little baby (just like a real person) and is too little to understand what is going on and takes a lot of learning and patience to learn what it is you want him to do or not to do.
Yes, he will cry. Remember he is desolate without his littermates with whom he has cuddled with for 8weeks. Prepare a cozy folded blanket in a corner or his crate for him. A ticking clock well out of reach or a radio will help keep him company. Pat him, reassure him, and leave him. The first two nights, if he cries go in to love and reassure him. You can also keep the crate near your bed where he can hear you or smell your fingers. Eventually he will get the idea. Be firm but gentle and loving. Do not give in and take him out of the crate nor let the children do so. With children, I would suggest having the puppy sleeping area off limits at all times. A housedog should have a cool but draft free location, a cozy nest that is his alone. Fresh water should always be provided and you can take it up at bedtime.
You should consider that a puppy has an absolute right to chew whatever they can get at in your absence. You must put the puppy where it cannot do any damage. Puppies can eat kitchen cabinets, destroy furniture, chew on carpet, and damage a wide variety of other things. Besides the destruction, the puppy may well injure itself, even seriously. A good solution to this is a crate. A crate is any container, made of wire mesh or plastic that will hold the puppy comfortably with enough room to stand and curl up and sleep, and a little extra room to stretch out. You can also fence off part of the house, or the kitchen or garage or build an outside run. (You can construct a simple 4 X 4 with turkey wire in the garage very easily.) Put your pup in an environment it can't destroy. Puppies are too immature to handle temptations, many not being able to handle mild temptations until they're 6 months or older. Consider the analogy with a baby--where you keep it in a crib, stroller, or pen if you are not holding it.
It is essential to puppy-proof your home. You should think of it in the same way as childproofing your house but be more thorough about it. Puppies are smaller and more active than babies and have sharp teeth and claws. Things of special concern are electric wires. Get down on your hands and knees and consider things from this angle. What looks enticing, what is breakable, what is sharp, etc? The most important things are watching the puppy and, of course, crating it or otherwise restraining it when you can't watch it.
Teach him what is and isn't chewable. The single most effective way to do this is by having a ready supply of chewable items on hand. When the puppy starts to chew on an unacceptable item (be it a chair, rug, or human hand), remove the item from the puppy's mouth with a stern, "NO" and a tap up under the chin, and replace it with a chew toy and praise the puppy for playing with the toy. If you are consistent about this, the puppy will get the idea that only the things you give it are to be chewed on! Don't stint on the praise, and keep the "No!" to a single calm, sharp noise -- don't yell or scream the word. There are some products that can help make items unpalatable and thus aid in your training. Bitter Apple and Bitter Orange impart a bitter taste to many things without staining, etc. You should not depend on these products to keep your puppy safe, but use them as a training aid.
Keep puppies and very small children apart or under close supervision. Small children do not understand the need for keeping fingers out of puppies' eyes or refraining from pulling painfully on their tails, etc. And it is very hard for a toddler to keep an excited puppy from jumping and scratching on them. Teach your children how to approach a puppy or dog, to prevent being jumped on. They should understand that they should put out their hands below the pup's chin, to keep it from jumping at a hand above its head. They should not scream or run away, as the puppy will then chase the child. Remember kids in diapers when they run away, are one of a puppies most fun things to chase and bite right in the diaper.
1. Your puppy doesn't seem to pick up the idea of whining at or going to the door to tell you it needs to go to the bathroom. Many puppies do not begin this behavior until they are four or five months old.
3. Your puppy does not seem to be particularly happy with verbal praise. You need to pair verbal praise with physical praise for a few months before your puppy understands and appreciates verbal praise.
4. Your puppy falls asleep in the middle of some other activity. Puppies need lots of sleep but since they are easily distracted, they sometimes forget to go to sleep and so will fall asleep at bizarre times: while eating, or even running.
5. Your puppy twitches while sleeping. This indicates healthy neural development. Twitching will be most pronounced for the first few months of the puppy's life, and slowly diminish thereafter. There are many adult dogs that continue some twitching. Expect muffled woofs and snuffling noises, too.
6. Your puppy hiccups. Many puppies hiccup. The only thing to do is wait for them to pass. Don't worry about it. They will out grow it.

Collections Editor , Europeana Foundation
Exploring public domain artists through Europeana Collections
This month, Europeana Pro looks at how the public domain contributes to the re-use of cultural heritage and explores different aspects of open access. In this post, Jolan Wuyts highlights notable European artists whose work entered the public domain this year and can be viewed through Europeana Collections!
Title: A Day of Celebration
Creator: Fanny Brate
Institution: Nationalmuseum
With the start of every new year, the oeuvre of a new batch of artists, journalists, thinkers and other creative minds enters the public domain. In general, copyright protection over works of European authors expires 70 years after the death of the author, which means that on 1 of January 2020, the works of many European authors that died during the year 1949 entered the public domain.
To emphasise the dynamic nature of copyright protection, here are some of our favourite authors, artists and singers whose work entered the public domain in 2020!
1. James Ensor
James Ensor was a Belgian expressionist and symbolist painter and printmaker. Explore his works on Europeana and be sure not to miss Mu.Zee's exhibition on Ensor in Ostend, which you can go visit until March of 2020.
Title: De baden van Oostende / Les bains à Ostende 1890
Creator: James Ensor
Institution: Sportimonium vzw
2. Akke Kumlien
Akke was a multi-talented Swedish graphic designer avant la lettre, best known for his books on typography and book design. His works spanned from calligraphy to landscape painting. Discover some of his beautiful ex libris designs on Europeana.
Title: bokägarmärke, exlibris
Creator: Akke Kumlien
Institution: Malmö museer
3. Otto Hupp
Otto Hupp was born in Düsseldorf, Germany, as one of the sons of the engraver Carl Heinrich Hupp. Following his father, Hupp became a graphic design and heraldry expert. He designed more than 6,000 coats of arms and wrote multiple books on heraldry. He also designed typefaces and did metalwork. Discover some of Otto Hupp's beautiful coats of arms and ex libris on Europeana.
Title: exlibris, bokägarmärke
Creator: Otto Hupp
4. Rosy Wertheim
One of the women represented on Europeana whose work enters the public domain this year is the Dutch composer Rosy Wertheim, who is known for her cheerful, playful songs. Wertheim taught at the Amsterdam Music Lyceum, but also worked, learned and taught in Paris, Vienna, and New York. During the Second World War, Wertheim moved back to Amsterdam and held secret concerts containing music from banned Jewish composers. Explore Wertheim's compositions on YouTube, and learn more about her music on Europeana.
The structural bias towards male accomplishments throughout history has an impact on the content of our archives, our museums and our digital repositories of cultural heritage. Europeana, alongside other online repositories, and cultural heritage institutions who recognise this bias have been putting in work over the past few years to increase the visibility of female cultural heritage online - explore the WikiProject Women and Europeana's Women's Season as examples!
5. Stanley Kirkby
Our last public domain day highlight comes from the UK, from the spellbinding voice of Stanley Kirkby. Kirkby was a baritone singer who between 1900 and 1930 produced more records in Britain than any other artist. Many of his recordings have been digitised and can be listened to on Europeana, including the well-known tune of 'It's a Long way to Tipperary'. Find many more digitised Stanley Kirkby records on Europeana.

Feel like getting creative with public domain works? You can explore over ten million public domain cultural heritage objects on Europeana today and learn more about the public domain through our series on the public domain.
If you are thinking of re-using the works displayed in this post, remember that Europeana relies on our data providers to update the copyright status of an object when it changes. Sometimes institutions simply haven't realised that they are holding works that have entered the public domain and on other occasions, it might take some time to update their metadata, or other rights may persist. Additionally, the authors' and artists' works highlighted here might have entered the public domain in 2020, but copyright statements can differ over the different layers of abstraction a digitised work has.
If you want to learn more about the public domain and about copyright in general, have a look at our copyright community page and join the group.

Keeping digitised works in the public domain: how the copyright directive makes it a reality
The principle that works in the public domain should remain in the public domain once digitised, which Europeana has defended for almost ten years, was recently incorporated into European law. In this post, we interview Dr. Andrea Wallace, Lecturer in Law at the University of Exeter, about the importance of this provision for the cultural heritage sector and her research on Article 14.
Title: Liggende Venus met Amor en Anteros
Creator: François Boucher
Institution: Rijksmusem
Exploring Europeana's most viewed public domain works
This January we look at how the public domain contributes to the re-use of cultural heritage and explore different aspects of open acces. In this post, we begin by highlighting which of the more than ten million public domain works accessible through Europeana were viewed the most last year.

What a long history and sad fate have the Gypsies (Roma). Traditionally nomad people, they became sedentary during this last century but still get persecuted and violently prejudiced. During the Second World War, the Nazis perpetrated towards them a true genocide. Only a few survived the concentration camps.
After suffering a forced assimilation under the communist rule, today they are not welcome and are persecuted. Wherever they go, they are rejected.
Since 1997, Gypsies from Czech Republic and Slovakia had to immigrate to Canada, Great Britain, Belgium and France. At present they are in a desperate state in Kosovo, they don't benefit of any protection, have no rights. There is no more room for them.
One remembers the scandalous action taken by a mayor in Czech Republic who erected a 2-meter high wall to separate the Gypsies from the inhabitants of his village! The wall of shame.
More recently there has been an appalling raid by the Police in Belgium against Gypsy families who were sent to horrible centers of custody. Police went to schools to pick up children to be sure to have every body. Anti-racism demonstrators were dispersed by motor-pumps and in the mean time a Tupolev plane was taking off from a military airport to Slovakia with 74 Gypsies on board.
In France I meet them regularly. They arrived in the Paris area but they were expulsed from their place by any Town Hall administration whatever the political party they belonged to.
Fortress Europe strengthens its regulation against foreigners without protest of the public opinion. European citizens would be wrong if they were not feeling concerned by the repression against the Gypsies. They should not feel safe for themselves! If today the weaker category of citizens can be put to silence, tomorrow could be their turn.

Nimbus Therapeutics Presents In Vivo Data Showing Single-Agent and Combination Activity of HPK1 Inhibitor
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – April 9, 2021 – Nimbus Therapeutics, a biotechnology company designing breakthrough medicines through structure-based drug discovery and development, today announced the presentation of data from the company's HPK1 inhibitor program in a poster at the AACR Annual Meeting held virtually April 10-15, 2021.
Newly disclosed data show that Nimbus' small-molecule HPK1 inhibitor, NMBS-2, demonstrates significant tumor growth inhibition as a single agent and in combination with anti-PD1 in multiple mouse syngeneic tumor models. In combination with anti-PD1, NMBS-2 restored cytokine secretion from exhausted human T cells and induced robust tumor growth inhibition in the CT-26 model. Furthermore, animals treated with NMBS-2 and anti-PD1 showed complete rejection of subsequently reintroduced CT-26 tumor cells, suggesting the establishment of a robust and durable immune memory.
"Building on our promising findings to date demonstrating the anti-tumor immune activity of NMBS-2, these latest data provide a compelling picture of its potential clinical utility in a range of tumor types — both as a single agent and as a combination therapy with anti-PD1 treatment," said Peter Tummino, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of Nimbus. "We're rapidly progressing IND-enabling studies of NMBS-2 now with plans to initiate first-in-human studies in the second half of 2021."

The Untold Truth Of Chrisley Knows Best
By Gillian Walters/Updated: Feb. 1, 2021 8:31 pm EST
Chrisley Knows Best star and family patriarch Todd Chrisley is best known for his hysterical one-liners and no-nonsense attitude. As for Todd's wife Julie Chrisley and their kids Savannah, Chase, and Grayson, their silly antics bring the USA network reality series to life. And who could forget Todd's mom, Nanny Faye? The grandma is always trying to get under her son's skin, whether it's going out for a night out on the town or gambling.
But underneath this funny and family-oriented show, there are plenty of dark secrets waiting to be unearthed. Take Todd's financial background, for instance. Although the dad lives a life of luxury on the show, he has struggled with bankruptcy and tax issues.
Then there's the topic of Todd's older children from a previous marriage, Lindsie and Kyle. Fans will probably be surprised to learn why the two bid farewell to the show despite its growing popularity.
Intrigued yet? Grab a bowl of popcorn and let's dive deep into the untold truth of Chrisley Knows Best.
Is Todd's fortune all smoke and mirrors?
Chrisley Knows Best/YouTube
From Todd's impressive homes to his extensive wardrobe (the reality star has a killer closet), it's fair to assume he's loaded. But questions about Todd's fortune were raised in August 2012 when he filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Todd was then appointed a trustee who was in charge seizing his assets to pay back creditors. However, once the process of Chapter 7 bankruptcy is over, the debt is "eliminated forever," according to Dummies.
As for how Todd got in this financial mess to begin with? Look no further than a real estate loan gone wrong. "He guaranteed a real estate development loan and it failed," his attorney, Robert Furr, told People. "He was on the hook for $30 million."
To put the financial flop into perspective, Todd said he was in debt to the tune of $49.4 million. Considering the dad had $4.2 million in assets at the time, it's easy to understand why he filed for bankruptcy.
Although the Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing should have been an easy process, Todd allegedly hid his assets and continued to spend frivolously, according to People. Todd's lawyers, who said their client "had nothing to hide," eventually reached a $150,000 settlement in 2015. But unbelievably enough, the television star still owed $70,000 of that settlement as of January 2017, according to legal documents obtained by the Daily Mail. Sheesh.
Julie might not be as angelic as she seems
E! Entertainment/YouTube
On Chrisley Knows Best, Julie comes across as loving housewife with the patience of a saint. Beneath the flattering veneer of reality television, however, Julie might be hiding a dark side. Case in point: Cops were sent to Julie's Nashville home in February 2016 to "seize her clothing, jewelry, and other personal property, to satisfy a $20,802.87 judgment that [she] refused to pay," according to Nashville Scoop.
The financial drama all started when Julie and her company, Jubilee Investments, were on the hook for $12,743 due to a failed "land-sale contract." Todd was originally on the lawsuit too, but was able to have his name removed from it. Unfortunately for Julie, the $12,743 debt ballooned to $20,802 due to "legal fees, court costs," and other expenses, according to Nashville Scoop. After Julie tried to dodge the debt nine separate times and creditors unsuccessfully tried to "garnish her bank accounts," a judge ordered "a non-wage garnishment." Translation: authorities got permission to go to Julie's home and take her personal property to satisfy the debt.
After the order was served on Feb. 12, 2016, Julie produced a cashier's check for the full amount. Talk about a close call.
Did Todd try to dodge Uncle Sam?
Todd's legal woes continued into February 2017, when Atlanta's Channel 2 Action News conducted a story about his state income taxes. Although Todd lived in Georgia with his family for a long time before moving to Nashville, Tennessee in 2016, the dad's bankruptcy trustee, Jason Pettie, told the news station that his client didn't file any state income taxes in the Peach State between 2004-2011.
Making matters even more curious? Todd claimed to be a resident of Florida in his federal tax returns. "His kids went to school in Georgia. His wife, his business, everything was here in Georgia," an attorney for one of Todd's creditors told the station about the seemingly fishy filings. It's important to note here that Florida — similarly to Tennessee — doesn't require state income taxes.
When Channel 2 Action News asked Todd's son, Kyle, about the drama, he replied: "He's always been that way. He stretches the truth." And when questioned about whether the family ever lived in Florida, he said: "No. We really went there for vacations in the summer and that was really the only time we ever went. We lived here in Georgia."
Hmm. It sounds like Todd has some explaining to do.
Nanny Faye's housing issues
It's no secret that Todd and his mother, aka Nanny Faye, are very close. Todd even goes as far to monitor who the grandmother is spending his time with and her daily activities, a dynamic that has played out on Chrisley Knows Best time and time again. And given the reality star's protective nature, it's a bit odd that he'd jeopardize Nanny Faye's living situation due to his financial issues. What are we talking about, exactly? It all started in April 2014 when Nanny Faye's $500,000 Georgia home went into foreclosure proceedings because Todd allegedly defaulted on a "$362,300 secured loan to the tune of $33,533.38," according to Radar Online.
Todd's creditor, U.S. Bank, National Association and Homebanc Mortgage Loan, was granted permission on Monday, April 21, 2014 "to commence foreclosure proceedings against" Nanny Faye's home and "obtain possession of the property," according to Radar Online.
It's unclear what happened with Nanny Faye's home since the reports about a possible foreclosure hit the headlines, but we hope Nanny Faye has since found her forever home.
The real reason why Lindsie bailed on the show
When Lindsie Chrisley bid farewell to Chrisley Knows Best around the end of season 5, there were many questions about her departure. One scenario is that Lindsie wasn't able to uproot her life in Georgia to Nashville, Tennessee where the show is filmed as of January 2019. It's a fair theory considering Lindsie has a young son and husband to think of — she can't just move at the drop of a hat, right?
Another possibility concerns Lindsie's new venture with Teen Mom 2 star Kailyn Lowry. The two co-host a podcast called Coffee Convos as of November 2017, and it's reasonable to assume the project keeps her quite busy.
The supposed real reason for Lindsie's departure, however, is much more juicy. A production insider claims that Todd wanted to use Lindsie's then-divorce as a plot point in the show — something she wasn't happy about. "Todd used Lindsie's heartache for a storyline, and he did not care either way how she felt about it," an alleged source explained to Radar Online. "He did what he wanted to do, and in the end it ruined his relationship with his daughter."
If the gossip is true, we can't blame Lindsie for bailing. The mom did get back together with her husband, after all, and we imagine the rumored situation was uncomfortable for everyone involved.
Kyle versus Todd
Anyone who has followed the show closely is likely aware that Todd and his eldest son, Kyle, haven't always gotten along. But what fans might not know about is the real reason for their rift. It's a complicated case, to put it mildly, especially since it's difficult to figure out who is telling the truth.
As for Kyle, he claims his dad is a fake who only cares about Chrisley Knows Best's success. "This show has been nothing but bad for me," Kyle told the Daily Mail in October 2014. "At this point he's ruined me and he's ruined the other three kids he's had who are spoiled. The whole thing is fake. He micromanages everything so if you say something and he doesn't like it he'll say, 'Stop' and tell you what to say and you'll do it again."
Todd's reaction to Kyle's comments was to reveal his son's supposed mental illness."Kyle is bipolar and normally, people that are bipolar, they seek out a way to self-medicate, which is what Kyle has done since he's been young," he told E! News. "I want what's best for him."
Sigh, what a sad situation. We hope these two will be able to mend fences in the future.
Is Todd using his granddaughter for ratings?
One of Kyle's most upsetting claims about Todd involves Kyle's daughter, Chloe. After the dad and his then-girlfriend, Angela, lost custody of Chloe to Todd due to various issues, troubling accusations surfaced in the Daily Mail. In a nutshell, Kyle alleged that Todd wanted custody of Chloe to expand his fanbase.
"My dad showed no interest in Chloe at all until the show and until it was pointed out that having a mixed race child and getting her and all that would be good for his demographic," Kyle told the Daily Mail about the situation. "He didn't want to see her before then. He said he wanted nothing to do with her." Yikes.
Despite Kyle's claims, Todd continues to raise Chloe. "Chloe is our family, and we are glad that the world gets to see such a beautiful child grow, explore and come into herself so brilliantly through love and respect," he told Us Weekly in December 2017.
It's also interesting to note that Todd often posts sweet photos of Chloe to his Instagram account. "God thank you for everything I never even imagined ... I love this baby with all my heart," he captioned a snap of the little girl in November 2018.
Todd's relationship with Julie lacks spice
Todd and Julie, who've been married since 1996, appear to be a loving couple on Chrisley Knows Best. Every episode ends with the couple relaxing in bed together, and they often go on creative dates. But is the duo's relationship as romantic as it seems on camera? An insider who is supposedly close with the pair says no.
"It is hard for anyone who works with Todd or Julie to believe that their marriage is authentic," the alleged source told Radar Online. "It's made for TV. They do not display the same level of affection and love towards each other off-camera as they do when they are filming." The insider also alleged that Todd's obsession with becoming "Mr. Hollywood" often keeps him away from the family's home, leaving little time for romance with Julie.
"Julie is the one at home with the kids making sure everything with the family goes smoothly. And even that is fake," they added."They have a team of people underneath them at this point so in reality neither one of them have to lift a finger when it comes to housekeeping."
Of course, it's completely possible that the rumors about Julie and Todd's behind-the-scenes relationship are bogus.
Todd's scripted reality
One of the most entertaining aspects of Chrisley Knows Best is Todd's infamous one-liners and sarcastic quips. When criticizing Savannah's choice in shorts, for example, Todd joked: "Smaller or larger, they still look like a**," according to Betches.
Some fans might be disappointed to learn, however, that Todd supposedly doesn't write his own jokes. "Todd uses a team of comedy writers for his show, and has been using them to write dialogue for several seasons," a production insider told Radar Online. "Todd does not come up with this stuff on his own, and is not as funny as people think."
What's even more shady? The source claims that most of the show is scripted. "More than half of the dialogue on the show is scripted and a large majority of the scenes are re-shot when they are not as funny as he wants them to be," they explained.
To play devil's advocate here, it's not uncommon for reality stars to stretch the truth.
Family tragedy strikes
Even though Todd doesn't talk about his extended family often on the show, he maintains a close relationship with his siblings. A perfect example of this? Todd saved the day when his brother, Randy, was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in October 2014.
Todd broke the difficult news to viewers about Randy's condition shortly after the family started filming Season 2 of Chrisley Knows Best. "As of today, they have started the arduous and long road of radiation and chemotherapy. The family remains hopeful of a full and speedy recovery for their beloved Randy," a rep said in a statement, according to Us Weekly. "The family is asking for privacy and respect during this process, especially for Randy's young family who are trying to cope with this very recent and unexpected prognosis. There will be no further comments regarding this matter."
The patriarch later revealed that he helped Randy by flying him out to a hospital in Atlanta. "I flew back to be with my brother and I had him moved to a hospital in Atlanta and he's doing as well as he can," Todd told E! News. "He's on his sixth round of radiation and first round of chemo so he's kinda knocked out right now with the chemo."
Todd's generosity in this situation goes to show that he's there for his family in tough times.

DAG Fund for Social Justice
DAVID ABRAHAM GROSSMAN FUND FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE
Promoting innovative partnerships between lawyers and community organizations
In honor of Harvard Law School Professor David Grossman's memory as a mentor, teacher, and advocate for the poor, the David Abraham Grossman Fund for Social Justice works to promote social justice by fostering innovative partnerships between lawyers and community organizations. The Fund supports fellowships and grants that enable law students and young lawyers to engage in and to develop law and organizing partnerships and new approaches to fighting poverty.
The fund is managed as a dedicated fund at Harvard Law School that is set aside to create new fellowships and grants that enable lawyers to work with community organizations toward positive social change. The Fund's goal is to raise $1 million in order to permanently endow a fellowship.
The DAG Fund supports work in the following areas:
Fellowships for Harvard Law School graduates to work in community organization-lawyer partnerships
Fellowships for lawyers and community organizers to work at the Harvard Legal Aid Bureau toward community organization-lawyer partnerships
Grants for Harvard Law School students to create partnerships between law students, lawyers, and community organizations
We are thrilled to announce that Alex Milvae, HLS '19, has been named the DAG Fund fellow for 2019-2020. Alex will work in the Asian Outreach Unit at Greater Boston Legal Services. As a Fellow, Alex will seek to expand AOU's innovative, community based model of lawyering to the growing Chinese immigrant communities in Malden and Quincy. Prior to law school, Alex spent four years teaching and studying in mainland China and Taiwan, where he gained fluency in Mandarin Chinese. Congratulations Alex!

REUTERS - Islamic State militants have beheaded another American hostage, Peter Kassig, issuing a video claiming the killing on Sunday and warning the United States they would kill other U.S. citizens "on your streets."
U.S. President Barack Obama confirmed the death of the aid worker in what he called "an act of pure evil by a terrorist group that the world rightly associates with inhumanity."
The announcement of Kassig's death, the fifth such killing of a Western captive by the group, formed part of a 15-minute video posted online in which Islamic State showed the beheadings of at least 14 men it said were pilots and officers loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Kassig, 26, from Indiana, was also known as Abdul-Rahman, a name he took after converting to Islam in captivity. His family has said he was taken captive on his way to the Syrian city of Deir al-Zor on Oct. 1, 2013.
"We are heartbroken to learn that our son, Abdul-Rahman Peter Kassig, has lost his life as a result of his love for the Syrian people and his desire to ease their suffering," Ed and Paula Kassig said in a statement. "Our heart also goes out to the families of the Syrians who lost their lives, along with our son."
The video did not show the beheading of Kassig, who previously served in the U.S. Army, but showed a masked man standing with a decapitated head covered in blood at his feet. Speaking in English in a British accent, the man says: "This is Peter Edward Kassig, a U.S. citizen."
The video appeared on a jihadist website and on Twitter feeds used by Islamic State.
In a statement to reporters on Air Force One on his way home from a G20 summit in Brisbane, Australia, Obama praised Kassig's humanitarian work and offered condolences to his family.
The man in the video spoke with the same southern British accent as the killer of previous hostages, dubbed "Jihadi John" by British media. He was believed to have been wounded in an air attack on an IS leaders' meeting in Iraq near the Syrian border earlier this month, some media reports have said.
French daily Le Figaro said on its website that the French Interior Ministry was studying the possibility of the presence of a French national among the Islamic State militants involved in the beheadings shown in the video.
In the video, a masked militant says: "To Obama, the dog of Rome, today we are slaughtering the soldiers of Bashar and tomorrow we will be slaughtering your soldiers," in a prediction that Washington would send more troops to the region to fight Islamic State.
"And with Allah's permission ... the Islamic State will soon ... begin to slaughter your people in your streets."
The format of the video was different from previous such announcements, showing other beheadings in graphic detail, and also showing most of the killers unmasked. The purported location also was disclosed as the northern Syrian town of Dabeq.
An Islamic State supporter in Syria contacted by Reuters said: "The message is very clear. This is what the West understands. They think they can scare us with their planes and their bombs. No, not us. We are out to impose the religion of God and, by his will, we will."
Kassig was doing humanitarian work through Special Emergency Response and Assistance, an organization he founded in 2012 to help Syrian refugees, the family has said.
Obama said Kassig's life stood in stark contrast to the values represented by Islamic State, adding he was a "humanitarian who worked to save the lives of Syrians injured and dispossessed by the Syrian conflict."
Islamic State's "actions represent no faith, least of all the Muslim faith which Abdul-Rahman adopted as his own," Obama added.
Islamic State previously killed U.S. journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff and British aid workers David Haines and Alan Henning.
The masked militant, who appeared to be the leader of a beheading squad, said Kassig was buried in Dabeq, near the Turkish border.
"Here we are burying the first American crusader in Dabeq. Eagerly waiting for the remainder of your armies to arrive," he says.
Western leaders and officials condemned the killing.
British Prime Minister David Cameron said he was horrified by the "cold-blooded murder."
The beheadings of the Syrian personnel were filmed in death squad style, with militants standing behind a kneeling man in a dark blue overall. In slow motion shots, each of the militants is shown drawing a knife from a box on the side of the road.

No Bail For Fort Dix Six
By Sean Alfano
May 11, 2007 / 9:32 AM / CBS/AP
Six men arrested this week and charged with plotting to massacre soldiers at Fort Dix were ordered held without bail on Friday.
Prosecutors argued that the men, all born outside the United States, pose a flight risk.
The men — four of them ethnic Albanians from the former Yugoslavia, one from Jordan and one from Turkey — have been held at a federal detention center in Philadelphia since their arrest Monday night.
Five of the men are charged with conspiring to kill uniformed military personnel, an offense punishable by life in prison. They are Mohamad Ibrahim Shnewer, 22; Serdar Tatar, 23; Dritan "Anthony" or "Tony" Duka, 28; Shain Duka, 26; and Eljvir "Elvis" Duka, 23,
Agron Abdullahu, 24, is charged with helping illegal immigrants obtain weapons, and could face 10 years in prison if convicted.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen Stigall argued against letting Shnewer be released on bail to the custody of his parents while awaiting trial.
"The problem with this package is that the actions that are alleged were going on at that house," he said.
Friends and relatives of Shnewer offered to post several properties they own worth a total of about $600,000 as collateral to support bail for him.
A more detailed bail hearing will be held next Thursday for Abdullahu, who faces the least serious charges of the six.
Authorities say the men were preparing to buy automatic weapons to use in an attack on Fort Dix when they were arrested. They targeted the Army post, which is 25 miles east of Philadelphia and primarily used to train reservists, partly because one of them had delivered pizzas there and was familiar with the base, according to court filings. The objective: to kill "as many American soldiers as possible."
Read the federal criminal complaint (.pdf)
The men, all in their 20s, have lived in and around Philadelphia for years, worshipped at moderate mosques, have family members close by and worked blue-collar jobs installing roofs, driving a cab, delivering pizzas and baking bread.
Defense lawyers for some of the men said they are considering attacking the prosecution's heavy reliance on two paid informants who infiltrated the group more than a year ago and recorded conversations with the defendants.
Attorney Rocco Cipparone, who is representing defendant Mohamad Ibrahim Shnewer, whom he described as a "hardworking cab driver," said he'll look into "the role of paid informants and how aggressive they were in potentially prodding or moving things along."
Authorities said they first learned about the men in January 2006 after a tip from a clerk at a Mount Laurel electronics store. The clerk called local police because a home video the men wanted transferred to a DVD looked like it might have terrorist links, U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Christie said.
Earlier this year, authorities said, the men took a training trip to the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania, where they fired weapons and played paintball to prepare for an attack.
In the wake of 9/11, more than 400,000 names have come under one form of government surveillance or another, from watch lists to wiretaps, reported CBS News chief investigative correspondent Armen Keteyian.

I dropped my concrete clam shell off to Dunn & Sonnier on Magazine Street to have an orchid placed in it.
I picked it up this afternoon and love it. The floral designer not only added the white orchid but also added willow and English ivy. I adore the way in which the green ivy spills over the shell to soften it.
The shell was placed on the sofa table in the den. I love how the orchid brings the outdoors in. It captures the lushness of the courtyard beyond the den.
Ron, that orchid loos perfect on the clam container. As a florist my self I am always looking at clever ways people use containers to arrange plants and flowers and let me tell you, you hit the nail on the head!!!
Thanks, Ramon. I love it too!
Gorgeous, but you scared me when you first said you dropped your concrete clam shell.. LOVE LOVE the arrangement.
Love this Ron just love!!! Very pretty.
You made the right choice placing that orchid there, perfect!
Your orchid clam shell combination is beautiful! You are right - it brings the outdoors in.
That is gorgeous! I love how it looks and it does bring the outside in!
I love it! What a clever idea. I also love your lamps. Have a Great Fourth of July!
Ron, using the clam shell as a container is a fantastic idea. Love the look!
Have a grand 4th of July!
I was thinking of placing an orchid in mine, but just hadn't gotten around to it yet. Love it!!

Purchase of Opel and Vauxhall by the PSA Group completed
The French group has confirmed its purchase of Opel and Vauxhall from General Motors for over Rs 16,000 crore.
Published On Aug 02, 2017 06:09:00 PM
The PSA Group has announced that it has completed its purchase of the Vauxhall and Opel brands for €2.2bn (Rs 16,817 crore). The group, which makes Citroën, DS and Peugeot cars, will now be the second largest manufacturer in Europe after Volkswagen with a 17 percent market share.
Following the announcement, PSA said a new plan will be presented in 100 days that is meant to "generate a positive operational free cash flow by 2020 as well as an operating margin of 2 percent by 2020 and 6 percent by 2026." It also said four new members would join the Opel leadership team headed up by CEO Michael Lohscheller.
PSA chief Carlos Tavares said: "We are witnessing the birth of a true European champion today. We will unleash the power of these iconic brands and the huge potential of its existing talents. Opel will remain German, Vauxhall will remain British. They are the perfect fit to our existing portfolio of French brands Peugeot, Citroen and DS Automobiles."
Lohscheller commented: "We are eager to build the plan with PSA's support and obviously together with our partners from the Works Council and the unions." Opel added that synergies within PSA, for example in purchasing and development, will play a major part. It said the combined entity will unlock substantial economies of scale and synergies in purchasing, manufacturing and R&D estimated at €1.7bn (Rs 12,994 crore) at run rate.
The firm also confirmed that it will run a much leaner management structure. This confirmation follows the announcement last month that the European Union's antitrust authority "unconditionally approved" PSA's plans to buy the European arm of General Motors (GM), concluding that "the transaction would raise no competition concerns".
Globally, PSA sold 3.5 million units last year, while Vauxhall/Opel sold 1 million. Taking on the GM brands means PSA's volume will be 4.5m at the current sales rate.
In a press release confirming the purchase, PSA Group boss Carlos Tavares said the company would respect existing brand identities and "help accelerate [Opel's] turnaround" referring to its recent struggles. Last year, it lost £200m.
GM boss Mary Barra said: "For GM, this represents another major step in the ongoing work that is driving our improved performance and accelerating our momentum. We are reshaping our company and delivering consistent, record results for our owners through disciplined capital allocation to our higher-return investments in our core automotive business and in new technologies that are enabling us to lead the future of personal mobility."
Collaboration between the GM and PSA is likely to include the use of electrification technologies and existing supply agreements for Holden and certain Buick models. PSA may also source fuel cell systems from the GM/Honda joint venture.
Opel/Vauxhall will also continue to benefit from intellectual property licenses from GM until its vehicles convert to PSA platforms. This suggests that as Opel/Vauxhall models come to the end of their current life – for example, the Astra is due to be replaced in 2021 – vehicles will move on to PSA platforms. If this is the case, then current production cycles would be maintained and this would ensure both Opel/Vauxhall plants in the UK were safe until at least 2021.
Opel/Vauxhall boss Karl-Thomas Neumann said at Monday's press conference: "We do not need to shut down any plants. If you look at the track record of PSA over the last few years, the numbers being the improvement of efficiency of our plants, it is a fact to say that since I took the helm of PSA we did not close any plants." He added that he would improve the efficiency of GM plants, but did not elaborate further.
The buyout includes all of Opel/Vauxhall's motoring operations, including both the brands, six assembly and five component-manufacturing facilities, one engineering centre and about 40,000 employees. GM will retain an engineering centre in Torino, Italy, which is a diesel powertrain R&D centre and home to the so-called Whisper diesel.
The €2.2bn deal consists of GM's Opel/Vauxhall subsidiary and GM Financial's European operation, valued at €1.3bn (Rs 9,937 crore) and €0.9bn (Rs 6,879 crore) respectively. PSA has also confirmed that GM Financial's European operations will become a joint venture with BNP Paribas.
Speaking at the Geneva motor show, Neumann said: "We design and build excellent cars. We know we have a lot of work ahead of us, but we not afraid, but we are looking forward to the future which goes hand in hand with the PSA affiliation."
The Vauxhall brand, purchased by GM in 1925, presently accounts for around one-fifth of Opel sales, with the UK traditionally being the largest market for the Corsa and Insignia. However, its future under the possible control of PSA raises some uncertainties. One scenario already mentioned by GM sources in discussions with our sister publication Autocar UK, is the possibility of a sweeping consolidation of Vauxhall's operations in the UK, with the brand name consigned to history and replaced by Opel – a move that was once seriously considered by GM following the financial crisis of 2009.

The Houston Children's Festival has been named "one of the world's 300 unmissable events" by Frommers Travel Guides. There are four stages, six big family adventure zones and more than 300 fun activities and delicious food stands. From the pictures, you can tell there were full with families with their children. What if children got lost? They have a smart tag with parents name and contact phone number on each kids' back. Therefore lots of people could enjoy this fun weekend!
$10; children under 3 years of age attend for free.


We deeply thank and honor you - the one serving, as well as the ones supporting and being left behind at home - for your sacrifices and for your service to our country. We know how much family and country mean to you and we want to do a little something to help support you and your family. With deep gratitude!


On the 1 November, the inaugural Something Digital festival was held at the Brisbane Convention Centre. Celebrating all things digital, the organisers worked with 64 organisations to bring fresh, up-to-the-minute information without any of the fluff/BS that can be thrown around the tech world at times.
After a welcome by Cat Matson, Chief Digital Officer (CDO) for the City of Brisbane, there were a series of presentations and International Keynote Speakers including Adam Bonnifield from Airbus, Mariana Dahan from World Identity Network, Caroline Sinders, and Justin Hendrix from NYC Media Labs.
Artificial Intelligence and how a collection of narrow intelligences will drive advancement, rather than a self aware, singularity.
Using blockchain as a way to help at risk individuals have a safe, secure form of identification.
How robotics is (slowly) gaining traction in Australia within manufacturing, agricultural and logistics industries.
The possibilities mobile 5G connectivity will bring us in the very near future. Expecting it to drive the "Internet of things" with 50 billion connected devices in the next three years. Bringing our digital and real life persona closer together through Augmented and Virtual Reality. Powering the disruption of even more industries – much like we have already witnessed by companies such as Uber and Airbnb.
The driving theme throughout the day wasn't about technology for technologies sake. It was about using it for real world applications that will help us each and every day. The idea is not to replace people with these emerging technologies, rather enhance working experiences and free-up time for better customer service.
Ethics within the digital space was discussed at length as well. With scandals like the Facebook–Cambridge Analytica data making headlines around the world, there needs to be better safeguards of our private information. he use of Blockchain technologies could be one way to address these concerns in the future.
It was an intense day of information to take in – but very engaging and positive! It was great to see the vibrant digital economy Brisbane has to offer. Showcasing that we are not only a digital force within Australia, we are a digital force on the global stage as well.

Stop the Suu Kyi Blame Game in Myanmar
Don't rush to judgement on Aung San Suu Kyi just yet.
By Edward Parker for The Diplomat
Credit: Wikimedia Commons/ Claude TRUONG-NGOC
April marks the Thingyan new year holiday in Myanmar. Myanmar's people see in the new year with three to four days of ritual cleansing – throwing and drenching each other in water. Hoses, buckets, and water pistols are all permitted for the festivities and no stranger or passerby is safe from being cleansed. The idea is that the water washes away the dirt and sins of the previous year, giving each person a clean slate for the new year.
The last three months have not been easy for Myanmar, especially Myanmar's state counselor and de facto leader, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. The systematic killing, rape, and persecution of Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine State by Myanmar's military forces have been condemned across the world. Even the UN has criticized Myanmar for systematic human rights violations.
Suu Kyi has come in for particularly scathing criticism, with many commentators disappointed that she has not spoken out more strongly on the issue, especially considering her global status as a human rights icon and Nobel Peace Prize winner.
"Mother" or "the Lady," as she is affectionately known by Myanmar people, has also been criticized for the slow progress of reform, in everything from the economy to education to media freedom.
Myanmar does indeed face huge challenges. Reforms and setbacks have slowed, and in some cases, reversed. The media sphere undoubtedly has seen a reactionary clampdown and greater restrictions put on the press.
Despite this, it is important to understand the dynamics and push-pull factors that Myanmar and Suu Kyi currently face. The government and military do not operate in a vacuum.
First, it is necessary to understand Myanmar's current constitution, which Aung San Suu Kyi and her National League for Democracy government have been trying to reform – with NLD legal adviser, U Ko Ni, paying the ultimate price for these efforts, after he was gunned down at Yangon International Airport. The current constitution gives the military and armed forces 25 percent of seats in Parliament – this does not include the military backed USDP party, which the NLD defeated convincingly at the polls last year. Under the constitution, the military retain autonomous control of the armed forces and ministries of defense, home affairs, and borders.
One of the biggest misconceptions laid at the door of Suu Kyi is that she has failed to stop the killings against the Rohingya and other ethnic groups. The NLD government and Suu Kyi do not control the military, nor can they set policy or constraints upon it. To blame Aung San Suu Kyi for human rights abuses committed by the military is therefore deeply disingenuous and ignores this fact completely.
The second argument is that, even if she does not exercise control, Suu Kyi has a responsibility as the head of the government and a human rights icon to speak out strongly and condemn the atrocities, which undeniably are taking place. In a recent interview, Suu Kyi was quick to state that she did not agree with the terror tactics that the military was using. However, she was still criticized for failing to accept that ethnic cleansing and mass human rights abuses were taking place. Again, context is important here. Suu Kyi did not deny that atrocities were being carried out, but did not, or more accurately, could not go further with her statement in actively condemning the military and recognizing the Rohingya.
Power in Myanmar, relinquished partially by the military after 50 years of devastating, iron-fisted rule, has come at a price. It is understood by many close to her inner-circle of advisers, as well as the diplomatic community, that if Suu Kyi were to speak out more strongly and condemn the military, her government – and Myanmar's embryonic democracy – would be cast aside. The price of partial power is silence on issues relating to military conduct and affairs. The military needs Suu Kyi to open up the economy and encourage investment after the economy was cut off from the world during the previous half century. On the other side of the balancing scale, Suu Kyi and the NLD need the military to allow them to govern, so that they can slowly unpick the endless caseload of problems that Myanmar faces – from education to energy to infrastructure – and slowly and gradually encourage the military to give up further powers and move to a fully civilian government – which it certainly is not at present.
This power dynamic is not pretty. It does not make for a Hollywood happy ending, but as seen in many movements across the world, real freedom does not come overnight but only after years of struggle, setbacks, and less-than-perfect alliances of convenience. These are neither desirable nor easy to understand, but they are what real world politics and political reform looks like. They do not make good headlines. They are not easy to put in a 30 second soundbite. But they are an unfortunate reality. As is life, freedom is messy and complex, but for all its downsides, the only way to make progress is to continue the long march forward.
It is worth noting that Aung San Suu Kyi and the NLD have only been in power one year. Deep-seated change takes place over many years and will not happen in one day, one week, or one year.

Tonja Rojc Ponebšek, slovenska ljubiteljska igralka, *15. junij 1903, Ljubljana, † 1990, Ljubljana.

Življenje in delo

Tonja Rojc Ponebšek se je rodila 15. junija 1903
v Ljubljani. Bila je Ljubljančanka, na kar je bila vedno zelo ponosna. Sebe je imela za večnega boema, ki se »celo življenje peha z umetnostjo«.

Svojo gledališko pot je začela pri skupini Ivana Mraka in nastopila leta 1938 v igrah Čajkovski in Lincoln, ki ju je napisal vodja skupine. Lincolna je uprizorilo tudi Šentjakobsko gledališče 23. 10. 1937 z velikim uspehom. Pavel Golia jo je povabil v SNG Drama, kjer je tudi opravila avdicijo, a se njen načrt ni uresničil, ker se je preselila iz Ljubljane. Po vojni je kot aktivistka za prosveto imela kup dela z organizacijo in pripravo raznih akademij. Tudi na bežigrajski gimnaziji je pomagala pri dijaških predstavah: nastopila je v Cankarjevi drami Pohujšanje v dolini šentflorjanski v vlogi Dacarke, pozneje pa je tudi režirala nekaj iger.

Delo v Šentjakobskem gledališču Ljubljana

Članica Šentjakobskega gledališča je postala v sezoni 1937/1938, njena prva vloga je bila v Nušićevi komediji Dr. Njena večna želja je bila, da bi dobivala boljše, resnejše vloge, saj je imela občutek, da igra le razne neumne, premaknjene, večne neveste, skratka – prazne in slabe vloge. Bila je rojena komičarka, zato so ji režiserji ponujali vloge pretežno v komedijah. V Šentjakobskem gledališču je ustvarila 26 vlog in odigrala 639 predstav.

Med drugim v:

1968/1969 Sosedov sin (J. Jurčič, D. Pogorelec, režija Drago Pogorelec)

1968/1969 Pepelka (K. A. Görner, režija Hinko Košak)

1969/1970 Mogočni prstan (F. Milčinski, režija Iztok Tory)

1969/1970 Dekle Ančka (F. S. Finžgar, V. Frantar, režija Drago Pogorelec)

1970/1971 Martin Kačur (I. Cankar, F. Smerdu, režija Viktor Molka)

1970/1971 Ples v Trnovem (C. Golar, režija Peter Ovsec)

1970/1971 Razvalina življenja (F. Saleški Finžgar, režija Hinko Košak)

Vloge v filmih

Igrala je tudi v številnih slovenskih filmih.

Butnskala (1983)

Trije prispevki k slovenski blaznosti (1983)

Rdeče klasje (1970)

Amandus (1966)

Tistega lepega dne (1962)

Vesna (1953)

Debate: Tribal Reservation Size, Jurisdiction
Gov. Snyder
Our erudite conservative columnist, Dr. Lou Zako weighs in on a relevant topic with a historical angle – the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians v. Michigan Republican Governor Rick Snyder lawsuit.
The lawsuit, which deals largely with the validity of a 19th century treaty, was filed several years ago. As the Petoskey News-Review has reported: "By asking a federal court to affirm its reservation boundaries, the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians looks to clarify that it holds jurisdiction in a 337-square-mile swath of Northern Michigan. For other entities with stakes in the area, though, the scope of that jurisdiction remains a source of uncertainty. Some intervening parties have voiced worries about the boundary affirmation's possible impacts for the tribe's neighbors.
The case, filed against Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder in 2015 in U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids, will determine whether borders of the Odawa tribe's reservation set by an 1855 treaty are still considered valid. The territory in question includes roughly the western two-thirds of Emmet County, portions of northern Charlevoix County and Garden and Hog islands in northern Lake Michigan."
In his column, Dr. Zako notes how Emmet County and its various municipalities, villages, and townships could be impacted: "There is a concern that if the LTBB is successful in its suit, it will have ultimate authority over all the involved land area in zoning, taxation, and even criminal and civil judicial matters for both Indians and non-Indians."
