Nino of Georgia: A Woman Evangelist "Equal to the Apostles"
Margaret Mowczko
The Sovereign State of Georgia in Eastern Europe has a long Christian history that can be traced back to the 300s. Georgia[1], or Iberia as it was then known, was one of the very first countries to accept Christianity and make it their state religion. And it was a woman evangelist named Nino (also known as Nina) who was the primary instrument in bringing Christianity to this country.
Both the Eastern Orthodox Church (EOC) and the Roman Catholic Church acknowledge Nino as a Saint, but their respective versions of her life, and the traditions surrounding her ministry, vary greatly.[2] Many legends have embellished Nino's story but more reliable details about her life and ministry have been chronicled in the records of the Georgian Royal annals, and in a chapter of the Church History written by Roman historian Tyrannius Rufinus (c. 345–410).[3]
Nino's parentage is obscure. It seems that she was born in the late 200s in the Roman province of Cappadocia, but was later taken as a slave to Georgia.[4] The EOC have a different version of her early life. According to their tradition, Nino had esteemed, noble parents, and she received an excellent education and training in the Christian faith from the best teachers.
The EOC also have a legend in which Nino goes to Iberia in response to a vision of Mary, the mother of Jesus. In the vision, Mary gives Nino a crucifix made out of grapevines and says:
"Go to Iberia and tell there the Good Tidings of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and you will find favour before the Lord; and I will be for you a shield against all visible and invisible enemies. By the strength of this cross, you will erect in that land the saving banner of faith in my beloved Son and Lord."
Nino awoke from the vision to find the grapevine cross in her hand. She tied the cross in her hair and began her missionary journey. The grapevine cross continues to be an important symbol of the Georgian Orthodox Church.
Another legend, about another vision,[5] relates that when Nino was exhausted and discouraged from her missionary travels, an angel handed her a scroll of New Testament quotations. Several of the quotations are about gender equality in the Christian faith and in ministry.[6] Encouraged by the Scripture verses, Nino continued on her journey.
According to the EOC tradition, Nino converted many villages to Christianity while travelling enroute to Iberia. However in 301 AD, Nino and 35 nuns (who had been baptised by Nino) encountered severe persecution in Armenia. Nino alone escaped death. (This story is recorded by Moses of Khoran in The History of the Armenians, written approximately 440.)
The EOC believe that Nino arrived in Iberia around 320 and, setting up a cross, immediately began proclaiming the Gospel.
Tyrannius Rufinus has a different account concerning the beginning of Nino's ministry in Iberia. Rufinus, who continually refers to Nino as a "captive" in his narrative, states that it was Nino's virtuous character and persistence in prayer and piety that attracted the Iberians to the Gospel. When the Iberians asked Nino about her way of life she told them that it was because she worshipped Jesus Christ.
Nino also became known for her gift of healing. Nino had prayed for a sick infant who then miraculously recovered. The word about this miraculous healing spread. The Queen of Iberia, who was desperately ill, heard about Nino and asked Nino to pray for her. The Queen was healed and became a Christian believer. Nino always attributed healings to Jesus Christ.
The King of Iberia, Mirian III, however, was unwilling to let go of his pagan beliefs. The story goes that one day while hunting he was blinded by some sort of darkness. Helpless, he prayed to "Nino's God" and was then able to see.[7] Arriving back at his house, he requested an audience with Nino who explained the Christian faith and Christian worship to him. King Mirian instantly converted to Christianity. The year was 334. Mirian was one of the first monarchs to accept Christianity and he declared Christianity as Iberia's state religion in 337.
Very soon after his conversion, Mirian commissioned the construction of a church building. It was built (supposedly) using instructions given by Nino before her death in 335, and was completed in 379. The Svetitskhoveli Cathedral in Mstkheta currently stands on the site of the first church building.
Nino continued her evangelistic ministry among the Georgians until her death in 335. She has become one of the most venerated saints of the Georgian Orthodox Church, and her tomb can still be seen at the Bodbe Monastery in Kakheti, Eastern Georgia.
Putting the legends and fanciful embellishments aside, there is no doubt that Nino was a woman whom God used to introduce the Christian faith into a pagan and militant country. God used Nino's faith, prayers, and character, as well as her spoken testimony, to further the progress of the Gospel.
Due to her pioneering, evangelistic work, the EOC equates Nino with the Apostle Andrew, and have given her the appellation "Equal to the Apostles". The following is a hymn (troparian) which the Orthodox Church sing about Nino.
O handmaid of the Word of God
Who in preaching equaled the first-called Apostle Andrew
And emulated the other Apostles
Enlightener of Iberia and reed-pipe of the Holy Spirit
Holy Nina, pray to Christ our God to save our souls.[9]
[1] Georgia is named after St George who the Georgians adopted as their patron saint, They fought under his banner during the Crusades.
[2] I have almost no personal experience with either the Eastern Orthodox Church or the Roman Catholic Church. If any of my Orthodox readers see something that I have misconstrued or misrepresented, please let me know.
[3] Tyrannius Rufinus (c. 345–410) translated Eusebius' Church History into Latin, and added new information. His history was the standard historical text during the medieval period.
The chapter about Nino "is based on oral information given to Rufinus by a Georgian prince named Bakur whom he met in Palestine about the year 395. This Bakur was a member of the royal house of Iberia, and was telling of events which had occurred little more than half a century earlier, during the lifetime of his own parents or at least his grandparents. When due allowance is made for the pious raptures of Rufinus and his informant, there is no reason to challenge the essential accuracy of their joint account." (Besiki Sisauri)
[4] There are some slight parallels here with the slave girl of Naaman's wife (2 Kings 5).
[5] There are several other legends about Nino. For instance: At the beginning of her ministry in Iberia, an idol and its temple were smashed and swept away by a storm in answer to Nino's fervent and anguished prayers against idolatry. In another story, after Nino had prayed alone all night, a pillar lifted miraculously into place (before a crowd of witnesses) during the construction of the first church building. There is also a strange story about Christ's robe which had been taken to Iberia and buried.
[6] The following are the verses said to have been written on Nino's scroll:
There is no male or female, but you are all one (Gal. 3:28).
Go and teach all the nations, and baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (Matt. 28:19).
The light will shine over the nations to glorify your people Israel (Luke 2:32).
Wherever this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached, there too this will be spoken of in the whole world (Matt. 26:13).
Whoever shall hear you and receive you, has received me; and whoever shall receive me, will receive the one who sent me (cf. Matt. 10:40; John 13:20).
For the Lord greatly loved Mary, because she continuously heard His true word (cf. John 11).
Do not fear those who destroy your bodies but are not able to destroy your soul (Matt. 10:28; Luke 12:4).
Jesus said to Mary Magdalene: "Go, woman, and announce to my sisters and brothers" (cf. Matt. 28:10; Mark 16:9-10; Luke 24:10; John 20:17).
Wherever you preach, let it be in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (cf. Matt. 28:19).
Quoted from the Georgian Chronicles, Translation by Paul Crego
[7] There are a few accounts in the Bible where a person was supernaturally blinded, or somehow prevented from seeing, and then had their vision restored: the apostle Paul (Acts 9); Elymas the sorcerer (Acts 13:8-11); the two disciples travelling to Emmaus (Luke 24). The wicked men in Sodom were also struck blind (Gen. 19:11).
[8] Writing about Nino's ministry, Paul Crego points out that:
In the Georgian traditions surrounding Nino, women feature prominently. Nino herself is tutored by an Armenian woman named Sara the Hermit; Nino baptises the 35 nuns who were about to be martyred in Armenia (including the well-known Hripsime); Nino gathers a number of women disciples in Mcxeta (the former capital of Georgia); Nino baptises the royal family (even after Greek priests were to have been sent by Helena and Constantine); and some parts of her story itself are attributed to women authors.
[9] N.B. I personally do not advocate praying to anyone other than God the Father, in the name of Jesus, with the assistance of the Holy Spirit.

Needle Drop
Stargirl cements its must-watch status with a classic '80s trope
The newest DC superhero series continues to stand out from other live-action superheroes with two gleeful scenes that epitomize what it's all about.
5.27.2020 1:00 AM
Who doesn't love a good montage? The Russian film technique in which time and events are compressed to illustrate a single theme grew to become a staple of 1980s Hollywood movies, often set to pop music. Why is "You're the Best" so iconic? Because of the montage in The Karate Kid.
Stargirl, DC's newest live-action DC, strongly evokes yesteryear's Gen-X movies with not one but two montages in its second episode. The result is Stargirl relishing in its own joy and upbeat tone, as well as nostalgia for a bygone era. It's also an exercise in demonstrating one of the few advantages TV and movies has over comics, one that series creator and comic book superstar Geoff Johns told Inverse about and is clearly capitalizing on now.
In Stargirl's second episode, "S.T.R.I.P.E.," trust is the word of the day as Courtney Whitmore (Brec Bassinger) learns to trust her stepfather Pat Dugan (Luke Wilson). Following the events of the pilot, Pat busts out a giant muscle car-inspired mech suit (proudly made in Detroit) to save Courtney. The rest of the hour sees the two clash over how exactly they should go about being superheroes — Courtney is eager to dive in, while Pat does his best to keep her out of trouble.
Meanwhile, the two get their own montages that illustrate what they have in common: persistence, stubbornness, and resilience. In Pat's montage, set to "One Piece At a Time" by Johnny Cash, Pat tries (and fails) to get S.T.R.I.P.E. in fighting shape. In Courtney's montage, set to Danger Twins' girl power anthem "Girl's Gotta," her super suit is born in her high school's home economics room where she tailors Starman's bulletproof costume and breaks virtually all the sewing machines in the process.
There's nothing revolutionary in these montages, but they're a lot of fun. You just don't see montages like these anymore, especially not in superhero shows preoccupied with season-long plots and brooding antiheroes. In the Arrowverse, montages marked only very special occasions. A montage was how Oliver Queen built his Arrow Cave; how in Supergirl learned to be a superhero; and in Legends of Tomorrow, well, Zari was stuck in a time loop.
In "S.T.R.I.P.E.," the second episode of 'Stargirl,' Courtney and Pat Dugan learn to trust each other as the two officially embark on a superhero partnership. The CW
But Stargirl uses it for moments that emphasize characters, not story. Both Pat and Courtney's montages reveal just how similar they are despite their differences in age, experience, and wisdom. While Pat has more "experience" than Courtney, he never quite got his due during the heyday of the Justice Society. That Pat is also on his own journey to become the superhero he secretly always wanted to be is emphasized by just how much his montage resemble's Courtney's, just with a completely different Spotify algorithm.
These montages also show what TV shows and movies have over comics and books: Music. As Geoff Johns told Inverse, music lets you create mood and atmosphere in a way he never had writing comics.
"One of the things I love having in Stargirl that I never had in comics is music," Johns told Inverse. "It's such a massive element. It helps the tone come across even more."
Montages are a classic movie staple that arguably peaked in 1980s Hollywood. Stargirl's use of montages in its second episode, while entertaining on their own, speaks to the show's yearning for Spielberg-style movies where adventure isn't just dangerous, it's also funny.
Stargirl isn't changing the world, but it is showing fans that there's more than one way to tell a superhero show on TV.
Stargirl airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. Eastern on The CW.

Q: Does the BatchNorm scale the distribution of whole layer (all neurons) or each neuron? I am confused at a very trivial point about the BatchNorm. For illustrations it is a widely used graphics that BatchNorm corrects the distribution of incoming values. To calculate mean, does it average through a batch for each neurons separately or does it average both in 2 dimensions (batch & layer width)?
For example, if I zero some of the neurons after BatchNorm, does this spoil the output distribution or doesn't it since each neuron has its own zero-centered distribution already? (Assuming trainable weight and scale parameter is not used.)
In other words, are the mean and variance unique to a layer, or do we calculate mean & variance for each single neuron in a layer?

A: We do it for a single neuron.
There is good explanation by Andrej Karpathy lecture:

It's midnight in Wisconsin. Polls have closed and the results are still being tallied but most of the projected winners have been called. Republicans have retained three of their seats, Democrats have won two (Randy Hopper and Dan Kapanke), and the Alberta Darling / Sandy Pasch race in district eight is too close to call (although Darling is doing victory laps already). This appears to be the deciding race on the balance of power in the Senate.
But if the balance is tipped in the favour of Democrats, what does that really mean? It won't do anything to undo the damage that Governor Scott Walker has already done but it will give Democrats the ability to stop any further damage. That may not mean much either since Walker; perhaps sensing the success of the recall efforts, has been shoveling as much of his legislative agenda into the engine as possible before today.
Democrats must also retain their two recall races on the 16th for this to be considered anything close to a victory. At least one of those races appears to be close.
Some voting hijinks have been alleged in the district where the controversial vote count problems occurred in the Supreme Court Justice race several months ago.

And Klopp, whose side face Huddersfield Town on Sunday (AEDT), refused to budge on his initial assessment of the Nations League, adding that only in football are players pushed to such extremes on a consistent basis.
Klopp believes there is no place in football's already congested calendar for a major new competition, with the German arguing that the increased number of fixtures risked devaluing the currency of worldwide football.
Mane was suspected of breaking his thumb as Senegal prepared to take on Sudan, while Salah suffered a muscle injury shortly after scoring from a corner for Egypt against the newly renamed eSwatini.
"I like competition of course but at one point someone has to step back and say, "Wait, they are players, I want to watch it, but if they don't perform then I am angry". No one is interested".
At his pre-match press conference, Klopp said: 'The only thing that is pretty sure is that Naby will not be available; with all the rest we have to see how it develops.
Liverpool, who are third in the Premier League and travel to Huddersfield on Saturday, had players including Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Jordan Henderson in Nations League action. That's it, pretty much'.
The striker has scored four goals in nine appearances across all competitions, but remarkably is yet to start a Premier League fixture. "There will be an outstanding atmosphere and we need to be ready", Klopp said. That was his words, not mine. Only in football everyone wants big competitions where you can get relegated, promoted, playing for something.


But they're still waiting for Frogmore Cottage to be ready.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are still waiting for renovations to be completed on their new family home, Frogmore Cottage in Windsor.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have already given up the lease on their home in the Cotswolds in the Great Tew Estate near Chipping Norton in Oxfordshire.
Royal commentator Emily Andrews revealed on Twitter that Harry and Meghan have "packed up" and moved out of the country retreat.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's lives are undergoing some major changes in 2019, especially with the imminent arrival of the couple's first baby. While it's believed that Meghan's due date is sometime in late April or early May, the couple is also moving into a new home: Frogmore Cottage in Windsor.
While reporting the ongoing renovations at Frogmore, royal correspondent Emily Andrews revealed that Harry and Meghan have already "moved out of their Great Tew farmhouse, with their belongings packed up waiting to go into their new home!"
It was reported back in May 2018 that Harry and Meghan had leased a countryside property on the Great Tew Estate. A source even told People in September 2018 that Meghan particularly enjoyed having a place to retreat to, out of the spotlight. An insider told the publication, Meghan "spends most of her weekends in the Cotswolds with Harry. When she does venture out to Pilates or to get her hair done, she normally goes incognito under a baseball cap."
However, in January 2019, Rebecca English reported for the Daily Mail that Meghan and Harry were canceling the lease on their Cotswold home, allegedly due to growing security concerns. Today's news confirms her earlier report that the royals would be moving out of the Great Tew Estate in March 2019.

Historical Dictionary of Ghana. By David Owusu–Ansah and Daniel Miles McFarland. Second edition. Metuchen,N.J.: Scarecrow, 1995. 477 p., ISBNO–8108–2929–3. $52.50.
As the editor rightly observes in his foreword, the new edition of this historical dictionary, first published in 1985, appears at an opportune time. Ghana has experienced a number of turbulent years—economically, socially, politically — since independence, but particularly in the past quarter of a century. Most of these events are documented in the Dictionary.
The introduction to the work provides a brief description of the country — taking into account its geography, politics, and economy. Three illustrations are provided in this section. Before the introduction, the authors provide a five page list of abbreviations and acronyms used in the book. There follows a 35–page chronology of the country, extending from the first inhabitants to the latest political events.
The main dictionary comprises a collection of entries on various personali ties and crucial events in Ghana's history. Accompanying annotations explain each entry's significance in the social, cultural, political, educational, or economic development of the country. The main work is followed by an extensive bibliography, which I consider equally informative. The bibliography spans 31 pages and is arranged in 19 sections, namely Bibliographies and Guides; General Information; Serials; Government Publications; Archaeology; General History; History Before 1840; History 1840–1956: Colonialism History Since Independence; Regional Studies; Travel; Geography; Arts: Literature and Press; Language; Culture and Social Life; Economics; Religion and Philosophy; and Education.
The work contains two appendices. Appendix A lists British Administrators of the Gold Coast; Appendix B cites Ghanaian leaders from 1951. Both add to the usefulness of the Historical Dictionary.
A few omissions should be brought to the attention of the compilers. In the main dictionary, the authors do not list Ghana's fourth university — the University for Development Studies. This university was established in 1992; the main campus is at Tamale in the Northern Region. In the section on Bibliographies and Guides, the authors list S.N. Amanquah's A Bibliography of University of Ghana Staff Publications, 1948–1973, but do not cite the supplement for the years 1974–1986.
The major omission in this work, however, is the lack of index. An index would be useful for researchers, as it would make checking for information by subject or author easier.
Historical Dictionary of Ghana is certainly an important reference tool and a welcome addition to the literature on Ghana. The quality of printing and binding is excellent.

If you are switching jobs: "I'm leaving the business" is really a phrase that requires plenty of courage. When pronounced at the incorrect time or in the wrong manner, it can have a very negative effect on your profession. You may get a working job give with another company where the pay is higher, but you remain not sure if that ongoing work environment will undoubtedly be better then your current one. After all, it is not all about the amount of money. What if you change your mind later? After all, this is simply not a straightforward decision. Of course your boss can forgive you and take you back, nonetheless it isn't guaranteed.

1. WHY DO YOU HAVE LIMITED DRAUGHT SELECTION SOMETIMES? --- All of our beers are wild fermented with native yeasts we captured here at the brewery. All of our beers are naturally carbonated. It takes up to six weeks to get our 'quickest' beer on draught versus the 3 weeks it takes most other breweries. We find naturally carbonated beer is superior to forced carbonated beer. With that in mind, plus demand, sometimes our selection is limited. But we are sure our customers appreciate our dedication to putting on draught only the best beer we can make AND only when it's ready.
2. DO YOU ALLOW DOGS? -- State law permits only service animals inside the brewery. Outside on the patio and in our yard leashed and well-behaved dogs are welcome. And PLEASE if the spirit moves them, pick up your dog's poop.
4. DO YOU HAVE WIFI? -- We don't have public WiFi. We have a landline that's available.

Prevention Principle Podcast
Thomas Lazur joined James Doe and Lucinda Hill to talk about the prevention principle for one of Herbert Smith Freehill's podcasts. The 4 part discussion can be found here and is broken down into four parts: https://soundcloud.com/herbert-smith-freehills/sets/the-prevention-principle
Part 1: The development of the principle and the concept of "time at large" Was the judgment of Mr Justice Jackson a summation of existing law, or did it actually create new law? Did this judgment actually define the prevention principle orthodoxy?
Part 2: Are there signs of judicial questioning? Multiplex v Honeywell (1997) remains the orthodox view, but there have been flashes of dissent. Are these signs of a more serious judicial questioning of the prevention principle, or just isolated comments?
Part 3: Does the passing of the high water mark of prevention principle open the door to a more comprehensive challenge to its scope? There have been attempts by some to characterise the prevention principle as some irreproachable principle of law. This has now been dismissed but does this open the door to a more comprehensive challenge to its scope?
Part 4: Offshore construction contracts: a different context and a fear of time at large The prevention principle and concept of time at large have developed in the context of traditional construction contracts and the principle has been confirmed as applying (in least in theory) in the context of shipbuilding contracts. Is there a resistance to the emergent orthodoxy in the shipbuilding industry? Is there any good reasons why offshore construction or ship building contracts should be treated differently?
Thomas Lazur is an "enthusiastic" and "technically astute" senior junior who is "a pleasure to deal with even in the most highly pressurised circumstances". Thomas has worked on disputes arising out of a wide range of significant construction projects both in the UK and internationally, most recently handling disputes in the Far East and Middle East. His traditional construction projects have ranged from domestic building disputes up to the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Much of his practice is devoted to energy related projects including the decommissioning of the Magnox nuclear power stations in the UK, oil and gas power stations, and alternative energy production facilities including solar, energy-from-waste, and biomass power plants.
Thomas has also recently produced an article on the topic of the Prevention Principle alongside Adam Constable

Parks and gardens turn cities into habitable spaces, and are also focal points for enjoyment and relaxation.
Park Güell is one of the most iconic works of Antoni Gaudí, a monumental site unique in the world for being conceived in such a way that its natural environment is inseparable from its architectural elements. More than a park, it is a symbol of Barcelona.
Its uniqueness was recognised in 1969 when it was declared a national historical-artistic site and, especially in 1984, when it was declared a world heritage site by UNESCO.
Creueta del Coll is a protected park featuring a large recreational lake that becomes a public swimming pool in the summer, an enormous 6,000 m² square and spaces where you can relax under the shade of the acacias. It also has children's playgrounds. It has become one of the most important focal points for the residents of Gracia.
The district of Gracia boasts a number of municipal and private sports centres. All of them have facilities for doing different physical activities: swimming, tennis, paddle tennis, aerobic and aquatic activities, fitness, toning and body/mind activities. Many of them offer a variety of weekly guided activities.
Club has 15 tennis courts and 10 paddle tennis courts.

Llibertat Market, the Gracia district's quintessential market and one of the most important in the city, invites you to savour aromas and flavours in a modernist building of great beauty.
Since 1888, the market has occupied the area of the old Plaza de la Constitució, where farmers used to sell vegetables and poultry. Today, it has the fine name of Llibertat, meaning freedom. The great structure of iron and exposed brickwork was made possible by the design of the municipal architect Pasqual Tintorer and was intended to offer protection to all of the different kinds of foodstuff sold here, such as fruit and vegetables, fish and pulses. The interior stands out for its wide and high open-plan spaces. The original building, despite having undergone several renovations to adapt it to modern times, still retains much of its modernist elegance.
Opened in 1974, Lesseps Market is part of the most modern group of municipal markets in Barcelona. It has undergone a renovation to modernise its infrastructures. It currently shares the space with a student hall of residence located on the upper floors of the building.
It has 30 food stalls and offers other services such as a supermarket.
Once a month, it puts on various activities and workshops (pastry-making, painting, etc.) to coincide with traditional festivals and local neighbourhood festivities. For many years now, it has organised tapas nights where you can savour the produce offered by its market stalls and enjoy an incredible night.
This market not only seeks to be a point of sale, but also a place of cohesion and integration for the Gracia district. This is exemplified by the many activities it has organised throughout its history to celebrate Gracia's local festivities. In doing so, Abaceria Central Market has become an indispensable part of the neighbourhood's commercial and social culture.
The district of Gracia is a true example of cultural development that emanates from different entities and results in a cultural calendar brimming with activities. It offers a wide range of cultural pursuits from all fields: plastic arts, cinema, science, performing arts, traditional culture, literature, music, and much more.
What the locals most appreciate is that the neighbourhood has maintained its identity as a community with strong social cohesion. Vila de Gracia is a district with a long tradition of associations; it has 250 registered entities and 38% of them are cultural in nature and work tirelessly for the community. The neighbourhood is a benchmark for popular culture, filling the public space with programmes that attract all kinds of audiences: Festa Major, Sant Medir and Foguerons de Sa Pobla a Gracia are festive events in the neighbourhood that have gained popularity throughout the city.
The Jaume Fuster Library is a local municipal amenity that enables the sharing of resources and makes available services for accessing information, culture and knowledge. It is the Gracia district's central library.
It opened its doors on 13 November 2005 and is located in a building of the same name, a work designed by the architect Josep Llinàs and winner of the 2006 FAD award.
It opened its doors in May 2002. It contains an African culture collection and specialises in design trends, fashion, interior design and photography. It also offers open reading groups and spaces for reading, reflection and debate.
One of the most identifying characteristics of Gracia and its way of being is commerce. It is one of the features that defines its economic and social life. Gracia exudes fair dealing, innovation, work, dynamism and renown. Commerce is understanding and being able to offer. And it also means tradition and cultural heritage. Experiencing Gracia through its shops is a unique experience, which we invite you to enjoy, step by step.
It is a kind of commerce that is committed to specialisation, one with its own iconic hallmark and the will to avoid a standardised purchase.
Gracia also has a flavour of tradition. Some of its most unique establishments predate the Spanish Civil War and accumulate a thousand everyday memories across different generations.

Jack Germond, r.i.p.
"The Boys on the Bus," by Timothy Crouse, was a book that everyone, even with the slightest interest in politics, wanted to read because it talked about the political reporters who covered campaigns. It was written as a piece for "Rolling Stone" in 1972, back in the days when politics was fun. The article, soon to be a book, explained who these "characters" were and why they were important in the overall picture of election politics. As a young aspiring political hack, everything in that book fascinated me. It was a time when there were media buyers, campaign gurus, and advertising people who did strategy and created media campaigns for political aspirants, but politics was not a career. You did not go to school for it. If you wanted to work in politics you majored in journalism, political science or history. The only real study you could do was on the road with a campaign. Politics for the professionals was just something you worked on like any other product. In a world where the heroes were winning elected officials, the political press was, as they say, (who ever they are, a breath of not exactly) fresh air – but they were a colorful lot. Among the most colorful of the characters on that "Bus", were Hunter Thompson, Johnny Apple and, Jack Germond – who, just to give you an idea, wrote his political memoir and called it "Fat Man in A Middle Seat."
Jack, at home in West Virginia, and, as he liked to remind you, only minutes from the Track
Jack died on August 14, 2013. And although he was eighty-five and hadn't been on that "Bus" for many years, it was a terrible loss for the world of real political journalism (as opposed to bloggers, news readers, and entertainers who call themselves journalists.)
Campaigns, until the 80's were such that the political staffers, reporters, the Secret Service, and even the Candidate were not enemies. They all had a job to do but the relationships were not necessarily adversarial. At night, after a long day of events, everyone went to the bar, talked about that day, and tried to make the next day's events so enticing that every reporter and photographer would want to cover that campaign.
Although I had worked on the McGovern Campaign in 1972 (in Mass. where we won!), my first full time political job, was the Udall Campaign in 1976. In those days the staff was told to be anonymous – if anyone saw your picture in the paper, you would lose your job. It was not easy to be anonymous when your success depended on a relationship with the press. Most of these guys (and there were very few women), were pretty normal for people who were never in the same place for more than a day or two – except Hunter Thompson to whom I once said hello, and he fled as if I had threatened him with a knife. It was about 3am the first time I actually spoke to Jack. It was a long day, I was starving (we were always starving because we didn't have the money or time to eat). He came over and sat down with me. I was so excited, I was almost afraid to speak. "Hello, Mr Germond," I said. And he said "I know who you are, you look hungry."
"Starving."
"Well," he said, "I know a place where we can get you something to eat."
We walked through alleys, up and down staircases, through tunnels and finally, some where in Philadelphia, we reached a place that had hot dogs on the bar. It wasn't exactly a bar, nor was it a restaurant, but they were the best hot dogs I have ever tasted, and I was with Jack Germond, who knew my name. It was wonderful.
Jack knew a place wherever we traveled, and I was often invited to come along. I had almost meals, with Jack, Haynes Johnson, Johnny Apple, Bill Boyarsky, a campaign novice named Charlie Gibson and often every writer on the bus. Jack had rules (called the Germond rules) like-- no matter what you ate, (be it a steak or a hot dog), everyone paid equally – except the invited campaign staff, because we never had any money. Or, he would tell anyone who asked a question, "I'm not talking til' I get my martini." To tell one or two Jack stories minimalises how great a gentleman he was.
We spoke often between campaigns. When I was teaching at American University he graciously accepted an invitation to lecture in my classes. We had an occasional dinner (I never paid, even when I had money), and he taught me to drink martinis. As a pundit, he was a brilliant strategist – but he knew very few political strategists would listen, let alone take his sage advice. But Candidates would listen and if Jack criticized what they did, the whole staff heard about it.
How do you say goodbye to someone who had so much impact on your personal and professional life. You don't. You just drink a martini to his memory and be thankful that he knew your name. We're just sayin….Iris

New Mexico Lobos Football
UNM Lobo Football 2009
Chris JohnsonContributor IIJuly 16, 2009
(Albuquerque, NM)—University of New Mexico head football coach Mike Locksley has his work cut out for him. Coach Locksley's looking at a tough schedule in the Mountain West, plus stiff competition with non-conference games against Texas Tech, Texas A & M, Tulsa, and New Mexico State.
Locksley takes over the job from former-head coach Rocky Long, who's program was stuck in a mud bog.
Locksley will have eleven returning starters to work with. Senior Donovan Porterie and Sophomore Brad Gruner will be leading the pack at quarterback. Gruner threw for 1,007 yards last season in only eight starts, while Porterie missed the 2008 season with an ACL injury, but threw for 3,006 yards during the 2007 season.
It will be interesting to learn how the Lobos can incorporate Locksley's no-huddle, spread-option system. At this point, Donovan Porterie looks like the odds-on favorite to get the starting job.
Probably the most difficult challenge facing Coach Locksley is the defense. This year only three starters will be returning from a defense that allowed 22.8 ppg and 335.8 yards per game. This may lead them to rethink the Lobo signature 3-3-5 defense to a more useful 4- 3 defensive scheme.
Senior Clint McPeek will again be at linebacker, and safeties Ian Clark and Frankie Soloman retain their positions.
This will be a rebuilding season, playing for a new coaching staff, and new system. Locksley has a lot of work ahead of him, with his offensive coordinator Darrell Dickey and defensive coordinator Dough Mallory both in their first year.
He's starting with a new slate. Nobody will be able to predict what's going to happen.
Moving into the announcers booth, former UNM quarterback Kole McKamey is given the opportunity to step up to the microphone.
"There has been such a defensive mindset around here toward Lobo football, and now we have an exciting, quick-scoring, finesse offense, and I get to be one of the first to help explain to Lobo fans how it works," said McKamey, who was a Lobo from 2002-2006.
McKamey ran three different offensive schemes in his final three seasons at UNM as a player.
McKamey will serve as the color commentator, joining Scott Galetti who is in his second season.
"The timing of putting a former Lobo quarterback in the radio booth might be coincidental, but it's also perfect," said coach Locksley. "We are putting in a new offense which likely will be highly discussed by Lobo fans and the media. We have a Lobo in the booth who has been through the wars on the field."

Anything Goes + Option of a Sketch.
This week's prize is from All Dressed Up and is 2 images of the winner's choice.
I coloured this lovely lady with copics and used a dot of liquid pearls for her earring and head band. I used some papers from K and Company Charlotte range to follow the sketch layout for this week's challenge. I coloured the part of the scalloped card which peeps out with one of the red copics I used for the frock. I distressed the edge of the image (and myself!) with Tea Dye Distress Ink. (It still feels risky to me but I am battling my inner chimp because I so like the effect).
I added cheesecloth, flowers, button and twine from The Ribbon Girl and embellished the card with shimmer domes and adhesive pearls. I also added a stick pin I made myself with some Creative Expressions Finishing Touches pins and gems.
Finally, after some deliberation because it is n't my favourite technique, (yet)! I added some texture paste.
Woww... she's so gorgeous Sue.. and your pure distress at DOING the distressing paid off so well as it's absolutely perfect!
A gorgeous card Sue, I love the image she looks fab and all the embellies are so pretty.

MY BEST SHOT Column
MY BEST SHOT
Its drive time, and the soothing voice of suave Ray Suarez announces National Public Radio's newest contribution to the nation's educational zeitgeist: snuff radio.
Tonight, he tells us, San Diego's public radio station KPBS will play the unexpurgated audio tape of a 1984 Georgia execution.
But, not to worry--the station would wrap the historic airing in a round table call-in discussion, the kind only NPR could stage with a straight face.
For those who skillfully navigated around this opportunity for enlightenment by watching the homocidal Soprano's, you could have caught it two nights later if willing to shun the two-hour Survivor show.
I failed to escape snuff radio by unhappy accident because I happened to be driving that night.
OK, so I listened. As it turns out, in the race for insensitivity between the bureaucratic, drum beat description of the electric chair execution by a prison official or the pathetic attempt by NPR to make this obviously lurid pitch for attention and listeners, it was a photo finish.
Thinking about the thinking that went into this strange decision to be the first to air an execution, I can't imagine that the high minded conversations in the editorial room regarding the public's "right to know" weren't laced with pitches from sales staff (pardon me, fundraisers) about running the thing during pledge week, public radio's bi-annual radiothon and the only programming more numbing than academics and a guy on a cell phone El Cajon talking about violence and capital punishment.
For my humanitarian friends, this was the consummate anti-capital punishment road show—a horrifying spectacle guaranteed to change the hearts and minds of the solidly 68 percent of America who are fine with capital punishment as long as its not conducted on innocent people, a circumstance made less possible with DNA testing. Others liked the crime deterent possibilities inherent in airing executions on Court TV.
But, for most of us who are uncomfortably ambivelant about capital punishment, translated into political terminology as "persuade-ables," the show accomplished neither high minded purpose, but only served to make the ending of a life as banal as a cereal commercial. Sort of the same way America loves Tony Soprano and regrets that he has to take someone out from time to time.
And, it appears that the idea of using this airing as an impetus for a national discussion on capital punishment and the public's right to see condemned people fry up close and personal on television fell as flat as an old Pepsi. From what I could discern from the news and talk shows over the weekend, income tax reform and the shadow Presidency of Vice-President Cheney chewed up most of the talking head time.
Perhaps the fizzle of the sizzle happened simply because the condemned man was no one in particular, just a retarded loser who killed a faceless victim. Fox Television would never have made that mistake—as we speak, they are likely engaged in a frenzied bidding war for the rights to air Oklahoma bomber Timothy McVeigh's demise.
I think enough of the class act Ray Suarez to imagine him tied to a stake with bamboo shoots inserted under his nails by some 30ish hotshot NPR news director while he recorded the sincerely felt commercials (excuse me, public announcements) for the "Execution Tapes."
But, I have no doubt that Walter Cronkite would have sniffed the stench of snuff radio and walked away

Mike Garson
David Bowie's longest serving band member Mike Garson has the Alumni Tour in Australia
by Paul Cashmere on May 8, 2019
Mike Garson, David Bowie's longest serving musician, is touring 'A Bowie Celebration, the David Bowie Alumni Tour' across Australia with a cast of Bowie veterans.
"I'm very blessed to have four alumni," Mike Garson tells Noise11.com. "I have Carmine Rojas on bass. He played on 'Let's Dance'. Mark Plati on guitar was on 'Earthling' and 'hours…', Gerry Leonard from 'The Heathen' album and who was the musical director for the Reality tour is on the other guitar and myself on piano. We have four amazing singers Bernard Fowler from the Rolling Stones, Corey Glover from Living Colour, Gaby Moreno and Joe Sumner, who is Sting's son. It takes a village to sing David's music".
Mike last toured Australia with David Bowie in 2004. He said had David not had the heart attack around then, he had planned to return to Australia. "In 2004 David had talked to me about wanting to tour only in Australia and New Zealand for four months and nowhere else but it wasn't to be," he said.
David Bowie was in Australia in February 2004. His heart attack in Germany in June that same year brought his touring career to a sudden halt.
In putting together 'A Bowie Celebration, the David Bowie Alumni Tour' Garson had to consider all of the different styles of Bowie that evolved from the initial guitar, bass and drums rock band that was 'Ziggy Stardust'. "That's how the Spiders of Mars were," he says. "It became piano-centric in a way so a lot of this is built around the piano on this tour. We do 'Aladdin Sane' and we do 'Sweet Thing/Candidate' but it is filled out with great guitar, bass and drums. The piano is the cream on the cake".
The masterpiece 'Aladdin Sane' is an important part of the show. "Every night I have to dig in because we didn't play that song very often," Mike says. "We did it in '73, '74, three or four times in the 90s and then that was it. It is a difficult solo. I have to be in the right headspace. It's a different improvisation every night in the spirit of how David liked things to happen".
In the 70s the Bowie style was evolving so quickly that most of the band couldn't keep up. "The first two years from '72 to '74, David fired five different bands," he says. "I was the only one he kept because I was able to change styles with him. He was such a chameleon in moving so fast. My training was in classical, jazz, rock, avant garde and fusion. He wanted to unleash all that. In a certain way, the jazz, the classical on the top of the rock separated him from Dylan or Jagger".
Mike had to evolve from album to album. "I've played on 20 albums of David's and they are all different. When you listen to my piano playing on Young Americans, songs like 'Can You Hear Me' or 'It's Gonna Be Me', I am playing very simple Gospel. It is very easy to access piano playing. When you take a song like 'Aladdin Sane' or 'Sweet Thing' it is left-field. On 'Pin Ups' you'll have a song like 'See Emily Play' which took another direction. He was the casting director who knew whoever he hired he never micro-managed. He just trusted you would create the right part. He had a trust but he had the gift of the casting director because everyone he ever used was perfect for that project".
The 90s weren't as kind to Bowie as other decades. Many felt he lost his way but Mike says he was just ahead of his time (again). "'Black Tie White Noise', 'Outside', 'Earthling', I think those albums are underrated. I think in some ways he got even better. His voice was richer, the songwriting was great. He is best known for '73/'74 but that probably has something to do with the time. With Dylan it was late 60s, when things connect with the environment. When you listen to 'Outside', I thought it was 20 years ahead of its time and now some people are starting to get it. David was a visionary. Like Michaelangelo he just saw things, felt things, heard things that us mortals didn't quite know".
By the time 'Reality' was released in 2003, David Bowie was back aligned with musical styles and public tastes. "It was wonderful precision on his part," Mike says. "My thoughts are on 'Loneliest Guy' and 'Bring Me The Disco King' which is our opening number on this tour, with Bernard Fowler. We recorded 'Disco King' with a whole different arrangement on 'Black Tie White Noise'. It was never released. We recorded it again with a whole other arrangement on 'Earthling', it was never released. The band had done another version for 'Reality' but David wasn't happy with it and finally said let's do it with piano and voice and that's the one that stuck".

A: I'm not great with this and I could be wrong, however, I believe you need to convert the UserId to a string, all DataStore keys need to be a string, UserId returns an int.

A: Sorry I only just checked this but I have found a Solution. Basically I compress the number down and Save it to the Leader board DataStore with this:
local Coins = coins ~= 0 and math.floor(math.log(coins) / math.log(1.00000000000001)) or 0

then when I Loop through the DataStore I do UnPack it to its Original Number:
Val = Val ~= 0 and (1.00000000000001^Val) or 0
