The Hamptons: Where Wealth and Poverty Clash
by Jim Hightower
It's tough being rich. For one thing, you have to be on constant alert to keep commoners from encroaching on your turf and upsetting your sense of proper social order.
Consider the angst of the swells who summer in the Hamptons, an ultra-tony seaside enclave of New York City's old-wealth families and Wall Street elites on the eastern tip of Long Island. For generations they've used local ordinances to keep us riffraff out of their exclusive communities.
But now they find themselves besieged.
A small reservation of some 1,600 members of the Shinnecock Indian Nation has also been in the Hamptons for generations.
In fact, it's the rich white residents, whose Anglo predecessors first descended on Shinnecock lands in 1640, who are the invaders. Today, the indigenous people struggle with poverty, gazing across a small bay at the huge summer mansions of their Gatsby-esque invaders.
To lift their own economy, the tribe intends to build a modest, tribal-run casino on their reservation. Oh, the horror, shriek the Hamptonites!
The reservation is the Shinnecock people's sovereign land, free from the Hampton elite's zoning laws, so the rich and mighty are reduced to begging the Native people to just go away. "A lot of us are bleeding heart liberals and sympathetic to the oppressed," exclaimed one local homeowner quoted by the New York Times, "But it's not the right location."
It never is, is it?
This is a struggle of elitist aesthetics versus human necessities. Casino revenue could help tribal families with such expenses as rent, food, utilities, and car payments. It "could change the quality of life here overnight," says the tribal chief.
But who cares? A few of the snobbiest of Hampton blue bloods haughtily warn they will move out if the Shinnecock Casino comes in.
Hmmm, sounds like a good trade to me.

Pierre-Louis Ginguené (25 April 1748 – 16 November 1816) was a French author.

Biography
He was born at Rennes, in Brittany, and educated at a Jesuit college there. He came to Paris in 1772, and wrote criticisms for the Mercure de France. He also composed a comic opera, Pomponin (1777). The Satire des satires (1778) and the Confession de Zulmé (1779) followed. The Confession was claimed by several different authors and was very successful.

Ginguené's defence of Niccola Piccinni against the partisans of Gluck made him more widely known. He hailed the first symptoms of the French Revolution, and joined Giuseppe Cerutti, the author of the Mémoire pour le peuple français (1788), and others in producing the Feuille villageoise, a weekly paper addressed to the villages of France. He also celebrated in an indifferent ode the opening of the states-general. In his Lettres sur les confessions de J.-J. Rousseau (1791), he defended the life and principles of his author.

He was imprisoned during the Reign of Terror and escaped with life only by the downfall of Maximilien Robespierre. After his release he assisted, as director-general of the "commission exécutive de l'instruction publique", in reorganizing the system of public instruction, and he was an original member of the Institute of France. In 1797, the Directory appointed him minister plenipotentiary to the king of Sardinia. After seven months, Ginguené retired to his country house of St Prix, in the valley of Montmorency. He was appointed a member of the tribunate, but Napoleon, finding that he was not sufficiently tractable, had him expelled at the first "purge", and Ginguené returned to his literary pursuits.

Career
He was one of the commission appointed to continue the Histoire littéraire de la France, and he contributed to the volumes of this series which appeared in 1814, 1817 and 1820. Ginguené's most important work is the Histoire littéraire d'Italie (14 vols., 1811–1835). He was putting the finishing touches to the eighth and ninth volumes when he died. The last five volumes were written by Francesco Salfi and revised by Pierre Daunou.

In the composition of his history of Italian literature he was guided for the most part by the great work of Girolamo Tiraboschi, but he avoids the prejudices and party views of his model.

Ginguené edited the Décade philosophique, politique et littéraire until it was suppressed by Napoleon in 1807. He contributed largely to the Biographie universelle, the Mercure de France and the Encyclopidie méthodique; and he edited the works of Nicolas Chamfort and of Lebrun. Among his minor productions are an opera, Pomponin on le tuteur mystifié (1777); La Satire des satires (1778); De l'autorité de Rabelais dans la revolution présente (1791); De M. Neckar (1795); Fables nouvelles (1810); Fables inédites (1814).

Legacy
Ginguené is buried in the Père-Lachaise cemetery in Paris.

The Rue Ginguené in Rennes is named after him.

Facebook now allows you to unsend a message within 10 minutes
By Web Desk on	 February 8, 2019 News Science & Tech
Facebook has finally followed through on its promise to allow all users to unsend messages sent on Messengerafter it was discovered that CEO Mark Zuckerberg had the exclusive right to do so.
The social networking giant has officially rolled out the "Remove for Everyone" option for you to utilize if you want to eliminate typos, embarrassing statements or any kind of undesirable message. However, you only have 10 minutes to make that move successfully.
When you will send a message on Messenger and tap on it within a 10-minute window, you will find that the "Delete" option has not only been replaced with the "Remove for you" option, but an additional "Remove for everyone" option has been included that will eliminate that message from all of the recipients' inboxes.
The recipients will be able to see that you have deleted a message, and while the content won't be visible to them, they can flag it to Facebook all the same.
It is clear that this feature will make communication via Messenger less stressful now that users have the option to remove their messages. Moreover, this will lead to generally smoother conversations.
What is not clear, however, is why it took Facebook so long (and getting its CEO caught in the act of retracting his own messages) to implement this feature. It is also worth noting that while you certainly have this power from now on, you can't do anything about any messages sent before this feature's implementation.
Meanwhile, Zuckerberg has the ability to do that as well, which should surprise no one. Indeed, this change has a bittersweet nature; while the average user has certainly been empowered, one also has to wonder about Facebook's integrity and what else we might be missing out on.

"I've been sucked dry in the past. I was mentally abused and broken by everyone," she said. "It's not like I have skeletons in my closet but everyone tried to get everything they could out of me. But now, I can go to sleep at night and I just think, 'F**k it.'

"My bankruptcy is the best thing that's ever happened to me."
Katie, who was first declared bankrupt in November 2019 after the High Court found she had failed to stick to a plan to repay her debts, continued: "Because anyone who has ever been in my life before has tried to take from me, financially mostly.
"Now they can't, as I'm in a bankruptcy. I love it.

"How do you screen your tutors?"
Collegiate Tutoring has 3+ years of experience in hiring excellent student tutors. All applicants have their resume and transcript reviewed before being phone interviewed.
We screen applicants not only for knowledge of subject material but also social skills, friendlies, etc.
Lastly, every tutor is thoroughly background checked by the most extensive background check report we could find. Tutors must pass this background check before they are listed on the platform.
"How does it work for Sororities?"
Your Sororities' Scholarship Chair will create an account and invite your chapter's members. Then, your chapter can use our platform to request tutors for sessions.
For your convenience, requested tutors will meet your members for one-on-one or group sessions at your chapter's house. Sessions typically occur in the dining hall or one of your study rooms.

Our tutors love helping large groups. In fact, we've held group sessions with 12 attendees, bringing the cost to only $5 per hour per member present.

ATLANTA (AP) — Clint Capela had 20 points and 15 rebounds, Trae Young scored 19 points and the Atlanta Hawks beat the Charlotte Hornets 115-105 on Saturday night.
Cam Reddish scored 17 points, fellow reserve Danilo Gallinari had 16 and Atlanta won its fourth consecutive game. John Collins pitched in 15 points and eight rebounds.
The Hawks have picked up the pace after getting back from a rough road trip. Since returning to their home arena, they're averaging 118.5 points.
"I think the improvement that we've made is just to play faster," said Young, who shot just 5 for 15 but added nine assists. "The more possessions you have, the more shots you get up, with the guys we have, it's good."
Miles Bridges scored 35 points but the Hornets made just 42 of 102 shots (42.6 percent) and were 10 of 40 on 3-pointers. LaMelo Ball finished with 15 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds as Charlotte's five-game win streak was snapped.
The game was played at a fairly deliberate pace and Charlotte seemed sluggish, perhaps because the Hornets played Friday night against the Pacers.
Atlanta moved quickly to a 10-point lead by the middle of the first quarter, and the game's margin remained within 10 points for most of the remainder of the night.
Kevin Huerter finished with 17 points for Atlanta.
"You have the crowd cheering for you. It helps. I think it probably makes a difference," Collins said. "You can hear the crowd cheering for you every time you make a big play or a big shot."
Hornets: Ball shot 5 for 18.
Hawks: Collins led everyone with four blocked shots.
Hornets: Will play Monday at Washington.
Hawks: Will play Monday vs. Oklahoma City.

O R A P E A R L S was created by pearl specialist and jewellery designer B I B I S O U T H W E L L , who has spent over a decade sourcing and developing relationships with pearl farming communities and gem suppliers all over the world.
Bibi's fascination with pearls and tracing their sources originated as a hobby after discovering pearl farms across Asia while travelling between her studies at University College London (UCL). Her obsession with the gem continued alongside her career in private equity, during which she became qualified with the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). Bibi finally left the corporate world to launch ORA in 2016. As a nod to her degrees in Classics and Ancient History, the name "ORA" is taken from the Latin for "shore" or "coastline," which is notably the boundary between humans and pearls.
Bibi hand selects the pearls at the sources ensuring the finest quality and every item is hand made by the designer herself in her studio in Chelsea, London. Her vision is to create simple designs that do not overshadow the innate beauty and timeless character of nature's most natural gem. Her focus on fresh, minimalist and elegant design achieves the perfect balance between modern and classic.


Felix Patzelt & Klaus Pawelzik (2013).
A minimal trading model is introduced which solves the paradox of market efficiency and extreme price jumps. The redistribution of points in the seesaw game is a direct simplification of the trading dynamics in this model. However, the seesaw shows the most recent price. In the model, traders act on complex patterns of previous price changes.
Bubbles, Jumps, and Scaling from Properly Anticipated Prices.
We show in a minimalistic model of speculation how price efficiency can lead to bubbles, and to realistic distributions of extreme price fluctuations. Furthermore, players in a simplified seesaw game are shown to act as predicted by our theory.
Many complex systems exhibit extreme events far more often than expected for a normal distribution. This work examines how self-similar bursts of activity across several orders of magnitude can emerge from first principles in systems that adapt to information. Surprising connections are found between two apparently unrelated research topics: hand-eye coordination in balancing tasks and speculative trading in financial markets. Seemingly paradoxically, locally minimising fluctuations can increase a dynamical system's sensitivity to unpredictable perturbations and thereby facilitate global catastrophes. This general principle is studied in several domain-specific models and in behavioural experiments. It explains many findings in both fields and resolves an apparent antinomy: the coexistence of stabilising control or market efficiency and perpetual instabilities resembling critical phenomena in physical systems.
This Dissertation was awarded the Bremer Studienpreis 2015. Two chapters are dedicated to The Seesaw Game.

This week for our mini mission I tried to come up with suggestions that I don't cover very often. Some things like kitchen, linen, stationery and beauty items, knick knacks and clothes appear here often so I thought I would steer away from them this week. I hope you can find an item appropriate to each day's mission but if you can't just come up with your own idea. Good luck!
Monday – Declutter some printed photos. Poor quality images, duplicates and images of stuff you care little or nothing about.
Tuesday – Declutter a sports related item. No longer used equipment, uniforms, souvenirs or even trophies.
Wednesday – Declutter a music related item. Old records, cassettes or CD's you no longer listen to. When I occasionally feel like listening to something that isn't among my usual selection I just go to YouTube. There is no need to keep once-in-a-while music on hand these days.
Thursday – Declutter excess cushions and throw rugs. The ones you sit or drape on furniture as a decor item. They are a pain when you want to sit down and are just in your way. Perhaps a few of those six cushions/pillows on your bed that you pull off and put back on every night and morning.
Friday – Declutter a few excess picnic items that you keep for those rare occasions when you actually do eat outdoors. Or ones that are completely unnecessary even if you do picnic often.
Saturday – Declutter one or two storage containers that you have eliminated the need for through you decluttering efforts. Having these items hanging around gives you permission to fall off the decluttering wagon. You don't want to do that now do you?
Does anyone know how to remove the little name plaques from sporting trophies?You know, the little metal bit that they engrave your name on? I feel I could part with the actual trophies (which are all boxed away) if I could keep the name plaques.
Hi Tracey, I did this some time ago. I just slid a sharp implement under them and prised them off. I kept the plaques and donated the trophies a nearby trophy shop that uses their parts to make up trophies they then donate.
Most of those plaques are held on with double-sided tape. If they don't pry off easily, try heating with a hair dryer.
Well, Colleen, I think I have these covered. It's the usual things I'm still dealing with Mom on. Things like extra whisks, some baking pans we never use, clothes she can't wear, etc. We have out of town company coming to church with us and then over for the afternoon. It's nice to be able to look around and see that things are pretty well uncluttered except for a few cabinets in the kitchen and Mom's closet. Makes me feel good.
Hi Deb J, I know how you feel. There isn't much left in my house that I feel I need to declutter but there are plenty of Hubby's things I could happily live without. I am not sure how it is that I am the emotional one but he is the with all the sentimental stuff.
I have some ladies coming to my house tomorrow for a small function. Aside from the usual Monday house cleaning there is nothing else I need do to prepare for it. Aside from a little cooking of course. I think several of them are looking forward to seeing what my home looks like because they know that I am "the declutterer".
Our friend just left a little while ago and it felt good when she said, "Oh, you have a beautiful home." She knows I'm a neat freak, she used to be my boss.
Tracy, try to slide underneath the plaque a plastic scraper, moving it side to side and back and forth. It helps to add a few drops of 'goo gone' or any other glue remover. I removed a plaque from a trophy with that method a few years ago. Use a plastic scraper in order not to scratch the surface.
Hi Marie L, Goo Gone is great stuff. I haven't owned any for a while but I have been through a bottle or two in my time. Un-Do is even better because it is less messing and removes things so gently that you can re-stick them somewhere else if you wish too. You can even us it on photographs.
Hi Colleen! I have been going through my cassette tapes, and I suspect that they all will be going. I might keep the ones that were bought already recorded, because I might sell them one day. However you will be pleased to know that most of the tapes I had were recorded by me, so they are "leaving the building" 😀 . As for the storage units I have decluttered a plastic box, a plastic clothes basket and I am still looking at what else will go.
Hi andréia, I thought of you when I wrote that mission. This is really big! You have certainly advanced in your ability to let go if you are willing to let go of those tapes. And it isn't just a case of letting go of something physical is surely is a case of letting go of the past. Good for you!
I kept a few of my storage crates but gave away a lot and many sets of plastic drawers etc. The few I kept will come in handy for storing out of season clothes once we move into our new apartment. As we don't have a lot of closet space.
Yes, I was very attached to those tapes. Far too much actually. And now I can't listen to them because they are ruined (I tried to listen to some, but the sound was so bad I could hardly distinguish the song…), so I have no reason to keep them. I have to let the past go to make way for the present.
You should declutter, but also you have to keep in mind your needs in your future home, with the space difference and all.
Andreia – way to go! I actually have a music cassette sitting here on my desk but do not! I got rid of the last of our collection a few months back but hung onto this one, some great memories with this one, my best friend and I went on a couple of road trips and had this on continuous play.
As it was a compilation cassette and most of the songs turned up on cd's I later bought ie best of the 80's and best of the 90's type cd's – these cd's I uploaded to my iTunes on my computer a year or two back, and what I'm going to do is make up a play list and add as many of these songs to that playlist as I already have.
I'm attached to my cassettes too. Even the damaged ones! I looked through them again with a view to decluttering and found that one had just one song that I liked. I'll probably download it. That song was the only reason I bought it in the first place. Another cassette had just one song that I love and others that I like but have on CDs. I'll download that one too. Funny I didn't notice that last time. So that's two more decluttered.
I am so happy!! Today I heard an echo at home while I was speaking. That means, the decluttering mission is taking shape!!!
My home was always organized, but with too much stuff. Like they say, you can't organize clutter. As I take things out of storage bins, I place the bins next to the garbage pail with a free sign. So I have been declutering bins also. I play a game while decluttering: I make believe I'm moving overseas and asked myself if I am willing to pay shipping for that item. If not, it is not that important in my life. So I either sell it, give it away, or trash it.
And I am happy for you Marie L. I remembered the time that I noticed my house had a slight echo too. I had been visiting family and arrived home "still suffering from the usual sinus problems that entails", then as walked in the door and notice the echo. The beautiful, tidy, uncluttered visual was enough joy to my eyes. However the echo just confirmed that the hidden places were also uncluttered and that my sinuses would soon clear. My house, like yours, was always organised but there was way too much hidden clutter. I disagree with one point in your comment ~ "…you can't organize clutter." That is the problem, you can organise clutter but no matter how organised it is it is still clutter.
The 'would I pay for shipping' game doesn't work for me because although we have moved several times ~including overseas and back~ my husbands work pays for the shipping. So that isn't much of a deterrent. I did always declutter, to a certain degree, prior to every move but in those days I didn't believe that what I kept was actually clutter. I know better now.
Well, I think I'm pretty right with all these missions, but I have 3 piles of paperwork/filing to tackle this week. It only takes about 5 minutes to do each pile but I just keep putting it off!
My daughter and I decluttered her bedroom AGAIN on Saturday and there were at least 4 plastic bags full of crap to be thrown out/recycled (lolly wrappers, bits plastic stuff, old school work). Fortunately no mouldy food this time! She really wants a bedroom makeover, so I said that if she can keep her room reasonably tidy till the start of 2014 school year we'd do something about it.
Hi Loretta, teen girls bedrooms, I'm glad those days are behind me. My daughter is no 24 now but her tidying skills haven't improved much. Lets hope she never returns home to stay. Love her to bits but don't love the mess.
Loretta – that's a great goal for your daughter, win-win!
I forget to mention that I did the same things with my daughter once. When the room was made over she went back to her messy ways.
I have been reading but not commenting lately, so first of all: welcome back home, Colleen!
We do have echo in a room, because we have had a guest who just moved out and we haven't re-conquered that room for us. It's completely empty except the furniture.
There have been some life style changes over here and I am spending much more time working outside the home. Though that means I have less time to actively declutter, it also means, I use many of those bits and pieces at home even less than before. I also have/had to buy a couple of new things for my new job, but on the other hand I feel ready to let go of the stuff I don't find the time to use now. I will spend this time doing some paperwork and getting rid of things that don't fit my current life anymore.
Hi Sanna, I have one room now that has absolutely nothing in it while the second spare room has a bed and some stuff in the closet. The bathroom between those two rooms only has its fittings and artificial bunch on flowers and a few wash cloths. I don't think the house echos anymore than it did before all that stuff left.
Life has a way of changing over and over again. I think you are doing the right thing letting go of things you no longer have time for. People usually just keep the stuff and then find out that when they do have time again they still don't use the things.
We are still getting ready for our move, so most of our stuff is in boxes but I'm happy to report that we have less than half the number of boxes we did the last time we moved! yay! I held off on decluttering a few items until we get to the new house because 'I might need them there.' I know, that's a bad trap, but really I'm not sure which curtains or sheets we'll need until we're there. After that, I have no excuses and what we're not using will go! 🙂 At least it's not a long time in the future. Just a few weeks or so.


One focus is the identification and characterization of tumour-initiating cells (TICs) in solid tumours and the relationship between TICs and clonal evolution. The team also studies the role of cancer-associated fibroblasts in promoting malignant behaviours such as stemness and invasion. The cancers studied are head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, high-grade serous ovarian cancer and clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
The team is using primary patient-derived cultures and xenografts to gain a deep understanding of the epigenetic deregulation occurring in ccRCC, including identification of downstream effects on target genes and pathways and identification of small molecules with rapid clinical translational potential.

Andre 3000 Speaks His Piece On Ghostwriting in Hip Hop
Posted on Friday, August 26 2016 10:07:00 PM in POP MUSIC by Chandra Meadows
(via youtube.com)
Ghostwriting has become a subject that has been under the Hip Hop microscope lately,
Especially since Meek Mill called out Drake for dabbling in the business of using ghostwriters for his rhymes during one of his random Twitter rants.
Rap music doesn't hold as much substance as it did back in the day, not lyrically anyways. These days, rap music seem to focus less on lyrical content and more on the sound, or beat of the song. Is this a case of Hip Hop evolving and growing into whatever the next generation's interpretation of it is? Or is Hip Hop becoming everything it originally fought against?
Recently, Outkast member and Atlanta rap legend Andre 3000 spoke out about the whole ghostwriting thing on a song from Frank Ocean's latest album Blond. 3 Stacks used his verse to speak out about a couple issues within society actually, however, the ghostwriting lines definitely got the internet hype. Many are saying he's calling out rappers (young and old) for forgetting the art of storytelling. As we all know, Andre has been pretty outspoken about his lack of interest in the current state of the music industry.
The most you can get out of him now and days are maybe just a few features here and there, he doesn't even seem to be interested in creating another Outkast album.
The interest is buzzing trying to figure out who Andre 3000 is referring to and calling out specifically but maybe he's just talking about the rap game in general? Maybe he's calling everybody out?

It's everything I wanted it to be and more, and sometimes it's nothing like I want it to be. That's the basic truth of being a small business owner. I have to be everything for this company, because it is just me. This is awesome in many ways and terrifying in others. Awesome because I get to learn new skills, branch out and try new things --and terrifying for those exact same reasons. It's all on me, success or failure. When I originally started KD it was because I wanted to focus on my passion of making high quality, unique clothing that made people feel amazing. Now more than ever that is still the case, but it's also because I actually enjoy the other aspects of being an entrepreneur, despite how scary it can be.
A sale falls through or a marketing campagin doesn't go as planned? It's on me. Make a mistake in Quickbooks and the taxes are wrong? My bad too. But, delivering an order to a customer who loves it? I'll take it! That feeling when I get to wrap up an order in pretty paper and write a little note to my amazing clients? Awesome. Watching the traffic numbers climb on my brand new website that I made all myself? The best.
Starting this business has been harder than I ever imagined and I've learned so much (and still have much more to learn!). I still worry about annoying my family, friends and clients with too many posts on the KD facebook page, or who might notice a technical glitch on the website (p.s. shoutout to all my beta testers and eagle-eyed friends who help me catch these things!), or offending someone with a blog post that doesn't quite convey my sarcasm or playful snark in the way I intended. But I think over time, I'm learning that this is a journey and it is about how I want to create it rather than what I should do or what the 'rules' are.
With support from all the amazing people around me I've been able to learn how to do this my way. Whether it's the infinite number of phone calls to my mom to remind me yet again how that quickbooks entry is supposed to work, or talking through challenges and constructive critiques with the many amazing lady bosses in my life (looking at you, Monika & Meagan!), or the endless times my husband reminds me that I can and am doing this just fine. The biggest lesson I've learned so far is that if this is going to be my business and my baby, I've got to own it and allow it to be unapologetically me in order to give my best to the clients I love so much.
How do you show up and own your business? What advice or guidance have you been given or wish you'd been given along the way to help you do that? I'd love to hear from you in the comments below!
Also, I'd love it if you signed up for the brand new KD Newsletter. You'll get to hear about the latest happenings in the studio and be the first to know about all special offers. Sign up below!


Bulldog Canyon via FR3554 is a 10 mile round trip hike with 1,534 feet accumulated elevation gain. Located 9 miles northeast of Mesa Arizona. A high clearance 4x4 vehicle and a competent driver is recommended to access the trailhead. January and December are the best months to enjoy this hike.
Overview: Out and back hike into Bulldog Canyon on Tonto Forrest Road 3554 from Usery Pass Road. FR3554 ends at FR10 so you could extend this hike North or South from the end of this route. The trail is very sandy but not hard going. I was trail running and found the footing to be acceptable, soft in some place. It's mostly a 4x4 or OHV road but there were more horses than motorized vehicles on the trail.
From the Phoenix Metro area take US60 to Ellsworth road. North on Ellsworth Road about 8 miles. There is a large parking lot on the East side of the road (which turns to Usery Pass Road North of McKellips). The trail head is approximately 3/4 miles north of the entrance to Usery Mountain Park.
There is a gate to restrict motorized travel on the road but there is a hikg-in gate. If you want to drive this road you can get a free permit at the Mesa Ranger Station. The permit provides you with the combination to the lock.

From an early stage of the project, Optima demonstrated its ability to meet the project's unique partitioning design demands whilst also delivering the bespoke scheme efficiently and to an exceptionally high standard.
Built by main contractor Carillion, the ground-breaking super hospital showcases healthcare, construction and technological innovations. In the facility's critical care units (CCU), Optima provided a bespoke partitioning system incorporating over 2,395m2 of glazed wall panels which enables staff to see into each unit without the need to enter the room and disturb the patient.
The company's extensive package of work included a wide and expansive range of glass partitions, sliding door sets, hinged door sets and pivoting door sets – with Optima proving its ability to meet the most challenging specifications by designing, engineering and installing a number of bespoke solutions.
In total, Optima supplied 60 x sliding door sets, 67 x hinged door sets and 8 x pivoting door sets which were double glazed using 6mm glass to both sides. All doors were supplied as double sets with leaf sizes ranging from 2,555mm x 662mm to the largest panels of 2,647mm x 953mm.
Southmead Hospital represents the future of healthcare design and construction in the UK. With careful consideration to every element of its interior and exterior – including over 500 glazed partitioning screens and 135 glazed door sets from Optima – the development sets the standard for others to follow.

Plaintiffs Victory in Partisan Gerrymandering Case Shifts Focus Back to Supreme Court
August 27, 2018 by stacy Focus Area: Voting Rights
The Supreme Court could hear case in the 2018-19 term in time for new maps in 2020
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, a three-judge panel in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina reaffirmed its decision from January striking down the state's congressional map as an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander. The decision in League of Women Voters of North Carolina v. Rucho was issued after the U.S. Supreme Court sent the case back to the district court to consider whether or not the plaintiffs had standing to bring the case. In today's decision, the lower court confirmed that in the consolidated cases, plaintiffs have standing to challenge each of the 13 congressional districts. It is expected that today's decision will be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which could hear the case in the upcoming term that begins in October.
Today's opinion can be found at http://bit.ly/PartisanGerrymanderingNC
The Southern Coalition for Social Justice (SCSJ), Campaign Legal Center (CLC), and University of Chicago Professor Nicholas Stephanopoulos represent the League of Women Voters of North Carolina and 12 individual North Carolina plaintiffs.
"Once again, a bipartisan panel of judges agree that the legislature went too far in its efforts to gerrymander election districts in a way that discriminates against voters based on their political beliefs and predetermines the outcome of elections before a single vote is cast,"said Allison Riggs, senior voting rights attorney for the Southern Coalition for Social Justice. "Elections should have consequences. Unfortunately, every congressional election in North Carolina so far this decade has deprived the voters of the ability to hold elected officials accountable through the democratic process. The court recognized that such actions are unconstitutional. The people of North Carolina deserve better."
Should the case be heard this term, as expected, North Carolina voters could have fair and legal maps drawn in time to be used in the 2020 elections. The case has the potential to reshape future redistricting nationwide by limiting politicians' ability to discriminate against voters who favor a minority party as those politicians control the process of drawing electoral districts.
"North Carolina has had one of the most severely gerrymandered maps in modern American history for almost a full decade, and it can no longer stand," said Ruth Greenwood, senior legal counsel, voting rights and redistricting at CLC. "This fall, North Carolina voters are about to endure their fourth election cycle with a blatantly gerrymandered congressional map. Given the timing, we expect the Supreme Court to hear this case in the upcoming 2018-2019 term. Our clients in North Carolina are ready for a ruling from the Supreme Court that finally declares that voters, not lawmakers, come first."
A companion case, brought by lead plaintiff Common Cause and others, also moves forward with today's decision. The earlier findings by the district court as to the violation of the plaintiffs' First Amendment rights were also reiterated today.

It's that time of the year again, VMworld 2014 is just around the corner and I'm really excited to attend. This is my third VMworld, and I feel like I have evolved my focus over the years. The first year I focused on labs, VDS/HA and a lot of fundamentals. Last year I focused on the Solutions Exchange and miscellaneous sessions. This year I want to focus on SRM, Log Insight, vSphere, Solutions Exchange and hopefully crossing paths with some of the people that I follow on social media. Here is a list ofsome of the sessions/events that I will be attending and other items of interest to focus myself prior to this huge conference.
I have been pretty involved with the Betas and the Log Insight product team (Bill Roth, Leila Tudury, Steve Flanders). I tried very hard to take part in MGT1265 but I could not obtain the clearance from legal in time. That being said it will be nice to meet those folks in person as well as other users of the product.
We just got a TAM a few months ago, so we are now privy to some of the perks of having a TAM, including TAM Central. There are some great sessions led by VMware engineers in a small group setting. There were some interesting topics, but with all of the regular sessions going on, this will be hard to squeeze in.
I am knee deep in SRM at the moment and a free flowing discussion with other users sounds like a great opportunity to pick some brains.
I don't think this session has to be explained much. LucD is legendary in the PowerCLI forums. Alan Renouf is famous just for his vCheck script.
I've monitored the Beta closely so I know of some of the possibilities, but it's nice to know what will be released.
I love free stuff, but I also have found Workstation to be very useful for a lot of work reasons. These products tend to have cool features that vSphere may not have due to the focus on the Web Client.
My company does not use VCAC for our private cloud, but the concept is quite similar. I'm hoping that SRM updates it's API so that it can really be software defined DR as a service.
Make sure to sign up for "VMware Hyper-Converged Infrastructure Technical Deepdive – SDDC1337" on Tuesday at 11:00 and Wednesday at 11:30!
There have been rumors around MARVIN/EVO/etc that tend to suggest some type of VMware offered hyper-converged offering or platform. We have been looking for solutions for small/medium sites, so hyper-converged offerings are somewhat interesting, especially if it comes from a vendor that we already have a relationship with and has solid financials.
VM mobility- In my own job, customers are starting to contemplate whether they need their standby environment since SRM offers a pretty fast failover method. We have contemplated using this as a migration tool as well.
VSAN updates – VSAN started off with great fanfare but it is still lacking some core features such as deduplication. It would be great to see vSphere Replication and VDP/A have stronger tie ins to VSAN.
CloudVolumes – the recent announcement of the acquisition of CloudVolumes seems to complement the View ecosystem but it would be great to use that technology for rapid deployment of applications on windows server VMs for cloud deployments. I highly doubt there will be any big product integration announcements next week for CloudVolumes, DynamicOps was acquired before VMworld and was not integrated for another year.
My company sends a good amount of people to the conference, so I will definitely see them and probably go to sessions with them, but I like to break out meet new people including..
I studied for a few weeks..a few weeks ago. I took a break and can't get back in the groove. I'll probably review from the study notes over the weekend, but on Monday I have a four hour date with the dreaded "Visio-like design tool".
This seemed to be added and removed from the schedule. This is the day after the VMworld party, so I don't expect a large turnout. The session tends to be about some sort of technology that is disrupting the market.
It's not super bad, but it tends to be a hassle. I did enjoy two years ago when they setup food outside, I got a nice VMworld blanket to sit on. One thing I don't get is that for breakfast the caterer did not let you go back into the line to grab an extra bagel or whatever. And they SCANNED your badge at the entrance so you could not go through the line again.
It should be a fantastic week, see you at VMworld!

Home Politics Argentine Senate weighs fate of abortion in pope's homeland
Argentine Senate weighs fate of abortion in pope's homeland
ALMUDENA CALATRAVA and DEBORA REY
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) – Argentine senators debated for hour after hour over legalizing abortion, wrangling into the early hours of Wednesday before a vote that could mark the culmination of a decades-long fight by women's groups in Pope Francis' homeland and have repercussions across a continent where the procedure is largely illegal.
The bill, which would legalize elective abortion in the first 14 weeks of a pregnancy, was already approved by Argentina's Chamber of Deputies and had the support of President Alberto Fernández, meaning the Senate vote would be its final hurdle.
If the measure should pass, Argentina would be the largest Latin American country to legalize abortion and the vote was being closely watched. With the exceptions of Uruguay, Cuba, Mexico City, Mexico's Oaxaca state, the Antilles and French Guiana, abortion remains largely illegal across the region.
Argentina currently penalizes women and those who help them abort. The only exceptions are cases involving rape or a risk to the health of the mother, and activists complain even these exceptions are not respected in some provinces.
Just hours before the Senate session began Tuesday, the pope weighed in, tweeting: "The Son of God was born an outcast, in order to tell us that every outcast is a child of God. He came into the world as each child comes into the world, weak and vulnerable, so that we can learn to accept our weaknesses with tender love."
A previous abortion bill was voted down by Argentine lawmakers in 2018, but this time it was being backed by the center-left government. The outcome of the latest vote, however, was still considered uncertain. That was partly due to the fact that the political parties, including the governing Peronist movement, gave their legislators freedom to vote as they chose. Two of the 72 senators were absent, and 43 of the remaining 70 senators were men.
"The vote is even," Sen. Nancy González, a backer of the legislation, said before the debate. "This is vote by vote. We are still working on the undecided."
Outside the Senate, pro- and anti-abortion activists gathered, with the bill's supporters wearing the color green that represents their pro-abortion movement.
Argentina's feminist movement has been demanding legal abortion for more than 30 years and activists say the bill's approval could mark a watershed in Latin America, where the Roman Catholic Church's influence has long dominated.
"Our country is a country of many contradictions," said Ester Albarello, a psychiatrist with a network of health professionals that supports the bill, who was among the demonstrators outside the congressional building. "It is the only one in the world that brought members of its genocidal military dictatorship to justice with all the guarantees. But we still don't have legal abortion. Why? Because the church is together with the state."
Also outside the legislature, a group that calls its members "defenders of the two lives" set up an altar with a crucifix under a blue tent. Dressed in a white smock and light-blue face mask, teacher Adriana Broni said that even if the abortion law won approval, "I will not teach that it is a right to kill, murder, a baby who has no voice."
The legislative debate was being presided over by Vice President Cristina Fernández, who was president in 2007-2015 and would vote only if there was a tie among the senators.
Supporters said the bill seeks to eradicate the clandestine abortions that have caused more than 3,000 deaths in the country since 1983, according to figures from authorities.
In addition to allowing abortion within the first 14 weeks of pregnancy, the legislation also would establish that even after that period, a pregnancy could be legally terminated if it was the result of rape or if the person's life or integral health was in danger.
It would allow conscientious refusal to participate in an abortion for health professionals and private medical institutions at which all doctors are against the procedure. But they would be required to refer the woman to another medical center. Conscientious objection also could not be claimed if a pregnant woman's life or health was in danger.

Overworked and discriminated
Source: Swamikannan and Jeylakshmi (2015), Ministry of Labour and Employment (2012-2013)
Be it working on their own farms or as labourers on other farms, women continue to be overburdened with work. Gunabai, a farmer who works on her family's two-acre farm on the outskirts of Pune says, "I have no choice but to work on our farm. I finish all my household work like cooking, collecting water and wood for fuel for which I have to walk long distances, cleaning the house, taking care of my husband and aged in-laws, sending children off to school, and come to the farm by 9 am in the morning. My husband does not help me with any of this. He works on a vada pav stall in the evenings and sits at home the other times. We hire workers for our farm only during the season, otherwise I work on the farm and also sell vegetables. It is such a thankless job, no one realises the amount of time and energy I spend on these," she says.
Create column charts
There is no limit to women's contribution in rural farms. Barring ploughing, a major share of agricultural work such as paddy transplanting, weeding, harvesting, sowing, and threshing is carried out by women. Chores like rearing of livestock and poultry, milking, milk processing, preparation of ghee, selling chicken and eggs are also done by women. The graph below shows the activities undertaken by women as compared to men.
Women work for as long as 14-18 hours on an average daily and expend more total energy a day as compared to men. Agricultural activities almost take equal time and energy as household activities. However, in spite of the amount of work they do, women are often paid less than men and women's participation in household and agricultural decision-making continues to be poor.
Their health suffers
Most of the activities done by women require constant bending or squatting leaving them with severe pain in legs, neck, hands and back in the long run. Many of the tools needed for work such as transplanting, cleaning, milling, etc. in the fields are not designed for women and have been tested only on men, increasing the risk of injuries, with tetanus being a constant threat. Constant squatting exposes women to frequent miscarriages, infant deaths, and premature births.
"I've had a number of abortions but had to worked after that without taking rest. Now, I have severe backache from that and the need for bending constantly is making it worse," says Sudha, one of the agricultural workers. Tanibai says, "We have to be careful while cutting grass and weeding with sickles. We can get allergies from congress grass, and cuts, bruises and insect bites. Some of us also suffer from fever, headaches and irritation in the eyes apart from neck, back, shoulder and wrist pain."

Dr Bhalerao who practices in the rural areas of Pune says acidity from inadequate food and water intake and severe headaches from working in the hot sun are some of the health issues farm women face. "Chronic vaginitis and white discharge from contact with fertilisers and pesticides while going for urination in the fields, cervical malignancies due to multiple deliveries and uterine prolapse from lack of adequate rest after deliveries are common among them. Cervical spondylosis from carrying heavy loads such as wood and water on the head and mental illnesses and tensions due to lack of status and opportunities for decision making at the household level are also prevalent," she says.
Pune-based gynaecologist Dr Joshi says that awkward and poor postures and forceful, repetitive activities often lead to musculoskeletal disorders among farm women. "Over exertion, inadequate intake of food, lack of rest, multiple pregnancies along with anaemia and calcium deficiencies can all lead to aches and pains and fatigue among women. Long hours of squatting also lead to chronic backache or disc prolapse. Constant work involving water leads to arthritis, fungal and parasitic infections," she says.
Lack of social status
Although as high as three-fourths of all women workers in rural India are in agriculture, and many more contribute to it through their unpaid activities, their work continues to be officially unrecognised and they rarely count in discussions on agriculture and farming.
Of the 76 percent of women engaged in farming, only 12.8 percent have rights to land, covering 10.34 percent of the total area of land holdings. Factors like poor literacy, lack of awareness, poor decision-making capacity, limited access to land, etc. prevent women from adopting new technologies and participating in agricultural markets. Although policies and legal frameworks exist, these have failed to challenge existing gender norms and women's economic-dependence issues.
Seema Kulkarni from SOPPECOM, an organisation in Pune that works on natural resource management in rural areas, says, "In places like Vidarbha which is known for farmer suicides, wives of farmers who commit suicide are driven to penury and desolation with no social or family support. She has no rights on the land and productive resources that she works for; the burden of debt her husband had and the responsibility of her children are on her. The government programmes often do not reach them. Gender-sensitive agricultural policies and laws supporting the livelihood security of women need to be urgently devised to help the farm women."
Experts believe that women's independent right to land can be one of the ways to help transform discriminatory social norms that work against them. Building organisational structures that enable women to use their collaborative instincts can also help immensely, informs journalist P. Sainath, an expert on rural issues in India. He quotes the example of a government programme named Kudumbashree launched in Kerala in 1998 that managed to mobilise around four million farm women by organising themselves into more than 47,000 farmers' collectives, known as Sangha Krishi, and empowered them to negotiate and take over unused land. He argues for the need to have more of such efforts in the country.
Despite all the odds, women maintain a different and emotional relationship with their land. Godabai, a widow whose only son has ventured out to the city for a better job says, "I don't know if my son will continue as a farmer, but I will continue working on my farm till the end. This is a valuable resource you can depend on for food security in times of crisis."
Suneel Joshi adds, "If we want agriculture to survive in India, we need to acknowledge and respect the contributions made by farm women, value their knowledge and provide them with opportunities to update their skills and build confidence through collective training and capacity-building programmes."

We were given free tickets for a mid-day concert at The Bridgewater Hall featuring Emily Nebel on violin and Alexey Pudinov on piano.
The performance was Elgar's Violin Sonata in E minor Op.82 and Maurice Ravel's Violin Sonata No. 2 in G major. The duo was formed in 2014 and has gained recognition for its unique sound and creative programming. They have received several awards and scholarships. We all enjoyed the concert tremendously.
We then went on to Wagamama, a gay-friendly restaurant in St Peter's Square. The restaurant not only has a rainbow decoration on the outside, but has a special rainbow table inside. It was now mid-afternoon but was still quite busy.
The menu contains popular Japanese and Asian cuisine in many popular categories, such as ramen, teppanyaki and curry dishes. We sampled several dishes including a range of tasty deserts and green tea (which is "on the house").
We had planned to visit the "Leonardo Da Vinci: A Life In Drawing" exhibition at Manchester City Art Gallery, as it is the 500th anniversary of his death. However, we decided to give it a miss due to the approaching rush hour traffic. The exhibition is free of charge and is on until 6 May 2019, so we still have time to view it.
