The Canadian Pavilion in Venice
by Deanna Schmidt
The then recently opened Canada Pavilion in Colin Low's City Out of Time (1959) COURTESY NATIONAL FILM BOARD OF CANADA
As the name suggests, the La Biennale di Venezia / Venice Art Biennale takes place in Venice, Italy, every two years and is widely considered the most significant global contemporary art exposition. Often referred to as the "Olympics of the Art World," the Biennale brings together almost a hundred countries that collectively showcase the work of a formidable group of artists chosen to represent their home nations.[1]
A consistent theme of nationhood has been a part of the Biennale since its inception, positioning artists and their artwork within larger political contexts and narratives. The first iteration opened on April 30, 1895, at a newly constructed pavilion in the public Giardini della Biennale / Biennale Gardens of Castello, the largest of the sestieri (districts) of the city. The genesis for a Venetian-organized contemporary art festival grew out of the success of the 1887 Esposizione Artistica Nazionale / National Art Exposition hosted in city and is now attributed to Riccardo Selvatico, then mayor of Venice, Antonio Fradeletto, member of city council, and philosopher Giovanni Bordiga. "The international emphasis was deliberate and productive, reflecting the ambition to make the exhibition an international event," observes Margaret Plant and "in this way it diverged significantly from previous national expositions, although Italian and Venetian art were well represented."[2] In that first year, 285 artists (with a total of 516 works) from France, Germany, Norway, the Netherlands and other countries participated.
Today, the main venue of the Biennale is located at the eastern tip of the island of Venice, occupying one of the cities few green spaces. These Giardini are a product of major urban renovations made under Emperor Napoleon I after the fall of the Venetian Republic at the hands of the French in 1797. Since then, however, the site has gradually been adopted and transformed into a psuedo-international village with many of the participating nations constructing highly individualized permanent architectural pavilions to house their country's biannual offering, affording each nation (who has the space and resources) independence to determine its representation.
Canada's formal representation at the began in 1952 with an exhibition of paintings by Alfred Pellan, Goodridge Roberts, Emily Carr and David Milne mounted in the Canadian room in the Padiglione Italia / Italian Pavilion (later renamed Padiglione Centrale / Central Pavilion).[3] Within the Central Pavilion countries were organized alphabetically, with Cuba and Brazil as Canada's neighbours, providing an early example of how the dominance of national participation shapes visitor experience. The significance of such inclusion at the Biennale to Canada was noted by Donald Buchanan, then Director of the Industrial Design Division of the National Gallery of Canada, in the 1952 summer issue of Canadian Art. "Canada now takes its place with most of the other nations of the free world in this assembly of the arts," he noted.[4] Only six years later, Canada inaugurated its own permanent pavilion.
Plan of the Canada Pavilion published in Canadian Art, January 1958
Sketch of the first proposed location of the Canada Pavilion in 1956 during planning COURTESY ARCHIVIO STORICO DELLE ARTI CONTEMPORANEE
Designed by Milanese architect Enrico Peressutti, of Studio Architetti BBPR, the inspiration for the plan has been variously interpreted over time, from a nautilus shell to a "wigwam" to the Archimedean spiral.[5] This curvilinear layout—unusual for pavilions that are often more austere than hospitable—is further characterized by an abundance of windows that clad the front façade and a tree that was strategically integrated into the design. An architectural rendering of the Pavilion, both in plan and section, appeared in the summer 1958 issue of Canadian Art, providing the Canadian public with its first view of the design.
Tucked back in the far south-east corner of the Giardini and flanked by the German and British pavilions, the Canada Pavilion was initially proposed for an alternate site that is now home to the Urugayan Pavilion.[6] In a 1956 letter Buchanan, who was then Associate Director of the NGC, wrote to Enrico Pallucchini, the General Secretary of the Venice Biennale: "I can now inform you that we shall be in a position to build our pavilion at any time after July 1956, and should like to reserve the space between the Czechoslovak and United States pavilions".[7] In the end, the Pavilion was built between the classically formulated, temple-like structures of Germany and Britain and despite lengthly correspondence between the NGC and Pallucchini, the reasons for the change in site are not made clear.
Once completed, the Canadian response was highly optimistic. "What is certain is that Peressutti has given Canada an exceptionally fine small pavilion with a freely spaced and open plan, a building much more exhilarating in aspect than are the most massive structures which adjoin it," wrote Buchanan on the occasion of the opening.[8] These positive sentiments were later picked up by writer Kathleen Fenwick in 1958 following the opening of the first exhibition in the new Pavilion, which featured works by James Wilson Morrice, Jacques de Tonnancour, Anne Kahane and Jack Nichols: "Now that Canada has a pavilion of her own, of which she can be justly proud, in this great permanent exhibition of the art of the modern world, she must also ensure that the interest and quality of the future exhibitions she will display there will always show her contemporary arts at their best."[9]
In the intervening years, however, public sentiment about the purpose and function of the Pavilion ebbed. In particular, the collapse between nation and nature, rooted in the prevailing mid-twentieth-century national aesthetic cultivated in the wake of the Group of Seven and others and hinted at by the Pavilion's integration within the forested area that surrounds it, has been a point of critique. This is perhaps most clearly evident when viewing the Giardini on Google Maps, which depicts the Canada Pavilion all but concealed by a dense green canopy, while its neighbours dominate the surrounding landscape.
Writing in 1990 in the catalogue for Canadian artist Geneviève Cadieux's self-titled exhibition at the 44th Biennale, curator Chantal Pontbriand outlined the Pavilion's problematic origin story: "The Canadian pavilion was built in the fifties with the idea of harmonizing the building with nature. Simply as a pavilion in a public garden, the building is a historic artifact representing a certain conception of architecture and a dated interpretation of the relationship between the nature and culture. As an exhibition space, it is commonly viewed as a problem. Weighted with cultural baggage and physically inhospitable for many types of art."[10] In that same year, critic John Bentley Mays, explained the situation bluntly: "I cannot take credit for the idea that the Biennale's Canadian pavilion should be torn down and replaced, though I would gladly put my name on a petition to do just that."[11]
"Each of the pavilions seems to stand for someone's idea of a nation and how it relates to their history," Steven Shearer, Canada's representative for the 54th Biennale in 2011, noted in his catalogue of the same year. "If you were a Fascist power you built a pavilion like Germany's, and if you are a colonial power you have one like Britain's. But if you are Canada, you have something diminutive in scale under the trees that attempts to achieve some kind of harmony with nature."[12] What Shearer's comments fail to capture is Canada's own position as a colonial power, with an international policy that has intimately woven together nature, culture and nation to create a palatable and profitable international brand.
In the late 1950s through the 1960s, funding for cultural production was at its domestic height in order to build a marketable national identity that could then be exported across the world and used as a calling card to develop relationships with international art institutions—the expansion of the National Gallery of Canada in the 1960s and Canada's hosting of its first International Exposition, better known as Expo 67, in its centennial year.
Yet, much has changed with respect to Canadian identity, its construction to both national and international audiences and national arts funding in the intervening years. After the artistic and financial responsibilities of the Pavilion were transferred to individual institutions in the 1980s, management was once again claimed by the NGC in 2010 following decades of causing significant financial obstacles and burdens to those commissioners involved.

In recent years, there has also been an increasing acknowledgement of the politics and privilege tied to exhibiting at the Biennale. Framing her solo exhibition Music for Silence at the 55th Biennale in 2013, Toronto-based Shary Boyle presented a silent, 35 mm film featuring a deaf woman signing the poem Silent Dedication (2013), which Boyle also read aloud at the opening. Serving as a direct reminder to those in attendance of their position, the poem asked audiences to consider who was not present at the Biennale and why that may be.
In turn, Geoffrey Farmer's A way out of the mirror in 2017 coincided with the country's sesquicentennial celebrations, inhabiting the Pavilion mid-renovation with material and metaphoric rubble from 150 years of national construction, including rebar from the Peter Pitseolak School in Kinngait (Cape Dorset), NU, that burned down in 2015.
Still, whether lauded or loathed, the Canada Pavilion remains material scaffold for larger concepts of nation-building—political, economic and artistic—as they continue to transform. As the collective Isuma prepares to release their newest film One Day in the Life of Noah Piugattuk (2019) and live streaming project Silakut Live inside the Pavilion that, together, explore the damages of this colonial project, perhaps there is no better home.

Esta é uma lista de pinturas devidas ou atribuídas a Leonardo da Vinci (; Vinci, 15 de abril de 1452 – Cloux, 2 de maio de 1519), um dos principais artistas do Alto Renascimento. Existem 2390 obras de arte significativas que são creditadas, tanto inteira como parcialmente, a Leonardo pela maioria dos historiadores da arte. Este número é formado principalmente por pinturas realizadas sobre madeira, mas também incluem um mural, um desenho e as obras que estavam em estágios iniciais de seu preparo. Existem diversas outras obras que foram atribuídas ao Leonardo, sem a unanimidade dos acadêmicos.

O número pequeno se deve às suas experiências constantes - e frequentemente desastrosas - com novas técnicas, além de sua procrastinação crônica.
Ainda assim, estas poucas obras, juntamente com seus cadernos de anotações - que contêm desenhos, diagramas científicos, e seus pensamentos sobre a natureza da pintura - formam uma contribuição às futuras gerações de artistas que só pode ser rivalizada à de seu contemporâneo, Michelangelo.

It was releaded via the US Live Nation TV website and was initially only available there before being uploaded to YouTube.
The video saw the band performing on a darkened stage. It was directed once again by Frank Fryner and features more of his computer animation. This time robots in a factory.
'Man Enough' was the third single and promo video to be released from the self titled Def Leppard album which came out on 30th October 2015.
It was filmed in Little Rock, AR on 11th May ahead of the band's show at the Verizon Arena.
Phil broke the news of the video shoot the day after via Instagram. He is seen playing his new Jackson PC1 guitar called 'Ker-bluey' which has now been given away to a fan.
This song had been rumoured to be the next single from the album after Vivian suggested it would be the third new song to be played live last summer - which it was.
The song was played live for the first time in Grand Rapids, MI on 9th July 2016.
The video for 'Dangerous' was released on the Guitar Hero Live game on 27th January before being made available online the next day.
Frank Gryner directed that video and the first video for 'Let's Go' video which made its debut online the same day as the new album was released.
"Now a video will get 20 million hits, or even a couple hundred thousand, and you'll see the thumbs up or thumbs down. We never really cared about a response like that [previously]—you just hoped they liked the video and song. Now you get actual feedback that can delight you or destroy your soul. [Laughs] We also don't spend an entire fortune on them like we used to. We probably spent on "Man Enough" what we used to spend on the food budget for some of our other videos!"

Review by Brian Eggert August 18, 2010
Tricia O'Neil, Steve Marachuk, Lance Henriksen, Ricky Paull Goldin
There's something curious happening in Piranha II: The Spawning, a disgraceful piece of schlock from 1982 whose only redeeming factors are that it boasts James Cameron's first directing credit and an early acting role by Lance Henriksen. Cameron remains adamant that he did not direct the majority of this sequel to 1978's Roger Corman production Piranha, helmed by Joe Dante, rather that Italian producer Ovidio G. Assonitis took over the shoot shortly after filming began. Cameron supposedly attempted to regain control, but Assonitis finished the movie himself and left Cameron's name under 'directed by' in the credits. And yet, despite Cameron's lack of involvement, the sequel oddly contains no end of the director's tropes.
It may be that Cameron wrote the script under the credited pseudonym H.A. Milton, but that he never really had control over Assonitis' production and was refused any decision-making power. It may be that Cameron wasn't allowed to edit the footage, so he was forced to break into the editing room and cut his own version, which was subsequently re-cut by Assontitis. Such things cannot be confirmed, and Cameron dances around the subject in interviews. What is known is that the sequel was filmed in the Grand Caymans and Rome with largely non-English-speaking Italian actors, that there was enough on-set crisis to bestow the movie a notorious reputation, and that Cameron considers his first true effort as a director to be The Terminator from 1984.
The story takes place in the Caribbean, at Club Elysium, a resort spot whose popular grunion spawning festival is approaching. As explained by scuba instructor Anne Kimbrough (Tricia O'Neil), each year on the Spring Equinox, grunions crawl ashore to spawn, and drunken tourists walk down to the beach to greet them. More on that later. Anne and son Chris (Ricky G. Paull) live together at the resort hotel during her separation from her husband, the local police authority Steve (Lance Henriksen). As a result, their weirdly close mother-son relationship resembles something out of Louis Malle's Murmur of the Heart.
Anyway, when her class dives to investigate a recently sunken freighter, Anne discovers one of her rookie divers has disappeared; she goes looking for him and finds his shredded corpse chomped to bits inside the ship. Being the instructor of the class, she's held responsible for the victim's death by her badgering husband. Luckily, she has irritating pretty boy Tyler (Steve Marachuk) on her side, and he all but forces her into bed with his incessant charms. On their first date, however, she takes him to the morgue to examine the body of the victim, which was evidently ravaged by something unlike anything she's ever seen before. In this case, the culprit is a mutated flying fish that looks like gremlins with gills.
Bored with the anti-thrills of the ensuing mystery, the movie takes some detours to establish several side characters, all of them badly behaved horny vacationers, though none of them have anything to do with the plot: Two bikini-clad bimbos convince a stuttering cook to bring them supplies for a boat orgy, but then take his food and cause him to fall into the water; this would've been a perfect opportunity to have the fish attack, but no such luck. A dirty old widow harasses a younger lifeguard, and nothing really happens there. Two newlyweds take advantage of each and every of the resort's amenities as a sleepy aside. And a lonesome gold-digger tries to land herself a doctor but ends up with an enthusiastic dentist instead. The point of these characters? None whatsoever, other than filler, and some of them not even for mutated flying fish.
By the time the carnage picks up in the third act, not even extreme blood splattering and corny fish-monster effects can make up for the inanity that came before it. Anne, Steve, and Tyler rush to stop the deadly flying fish, which, as they discover, originated from the sunken freighter. But just then the grunion festival gets underway; the vacationers collectively approach the shoreline, chanting "We want fish!" as the ocean's water bubbles with activity. And fish they get—angry, winged creatures that fly via clear filament line toward the jugular like a great white shark at a baby seal. It all ends when our heroes dive and plant a bomb on the sunken freighter dwelling of the deadly sea creatures, promising the world that, with any luck, we'll never be forced to endure another flying fish movie ever again.
Cameron's enduring obsessions populate the story, however lame it may be thanks to Assonitis. Since The Abyss in 1989, underwater photography, the claustrophobia inherent to submerged structures, and the mysteries of the deep have settled in the director's output. The trend culminated with Titanic and Cameron's subsequent documentaries Ghosts of the Abyss and Aliens of the Deep. He's even noted that the sequel to Avatar, his second 'biggest blockbuster ever', will involve the underwater world of Pandorum. So for Piranha II to contain these underwater themes hardly feels like a coincidence, and as much as Cameron doesn't want to admit it, this first screen credit as a director shows the first evidence of his reoccurring themes as a filmmaker.
Cameron was right when he said that Piranha II stands as "the finest flying piranha movie ever made", by default only of course. Should another filmmaker attempt a horror movie with flying fish for its monsters, it's hard to imagine the result being worse than this (SyFy Channel, do your worst). The movie reaches a level of awfulness that almost prevents recommending it even as an ironic viewing with friends; it deserves to be mocked, but it's also mind-numbingly terrible. Approach at your own risk. Cameron's career would go on to provide monumental blockbusters, one after another, so it's one of the great historical ironies that the director of Titanic and Avatar would begin his directorial career (understanding that he can only be attributed to the final product in partial terms) on such a low note.

Multiple crashes, spinouts in Twin Cities as snow falls Tuesday morning
The metro could get up to six inches of snow throughout the day.
Tommy Wiita
MN 511
A fresh snowfall put Minnesota drivers in a bind for the morning commute, with the Twin Cities under a winter storm warning through Tuesday evening.
According to MN 511, dozens of drivers were involved in crashes, spin-outs or seen stalled out on metro area highways during the morning rush hour.
Here's a look at the situation at 8:35 a.m., with a short stretch of I-694 seeing a series of incidents.
An update around 9:10 a.m. showed crashes and spin outs were still occuring, with a cluster happening on I-35 near Forest Lake, heading southbound towards White Bear Lake.
The National Weather Service said up to a half foot of snow could fall in parts of the metro, with some local areas seeing even more. The warning is active until 6 p.m.
Just after 10 a.m., the Minnesota State Patrol said 139 total crashes were reported with seven injuries, 53 vehicle spin-outs and three semi-trucks jackknifed. No serious injuries or fatalities were reported.
The weather is expected to create slick road conditions for both the morning and evening commutes.
Multiple crashes were identified on Hwy 36 in Maplewood and Interstate 694 Oakdale.
Another car was seen spun out into a ditch off Hwy 610 in Brooklyn Park.
Other crashes were noted off of I-694 in White Bear Lake, Interstate 494 in St. Paul and Interstate 35W near Bloomington.
The state patrol said one of the crashes involved someone hitting a Minnesota Department of Transportation plow truck on Hwy 100 near the Glenwood exit ramp. No one was injured in the crash.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation said plows were active early Tuesday morning in preparation for the incoming snow. According to MN 511 plow cameras, a vast majority of roads were still being plowed during the 8 a.m. hour.
Waze Citizen reports also noted ice on many metro roads.
The state patrol is expected to provide an official number of crashes later on Tuesday. The law enforcement agency provided some tips for drivers, stating it's poor driving that causes crashes, not snow.

Keeping Up With India
Why We're Going Free
An Update for 2021
Anmol Maini and Vedica Kant
Jan 4 4
2020 has certainly been a whirlwind for me - both personally and professionally. In what has been a crazy year, Perhaps the coolest thing to come out of what has been a crazy year was the fact that I accidentally launched two newsletters.
I have followed and kept up with the Indian ecosystem for as long as I can remember, and had always been annoyed by the lack of writing both within and about the ecosystem. Some Indian VCs have blogs I love reading, but don't post very frequently. I also felt that India's tech reporting has by and large been pretty bland historically other than The Ken, The Morning Context, and ET Prime. A lot of the reporting just focuses on funding announcements without much reporting on what exactly the companies do themselves. So, since I felt no one else was really chronicling the ecosystem in a way that made me happy, I decided to attempt to do so myself. The WhatsApp newsletter started off as an experiment to see if folks in India would pay for a daily newsletter summarizing and contextualizing stories about Indian startups. And there definitely was interest- It was clear that a lot of people wanted curated, bite-sized startup news updates + analysis delivered to their WhatsApp.
Around the time I started the newsletter I also met up with Vedica, who I knew through Twitter, in real life. We grabbed a coffee in Bangalore in January, which seems like a really long time ago, and then caught up again once we were both back in SF. Vedica was keen to get back to writing more frequently, and asked me if I'd be open to her contributing to the newsletter. I had my plate full with a full-time job at the time, and had been a fan of Vedica's, so it made perfect sense to me! A couple months after we decided to run the newsletters together - in addition to the daily WhatsApp updates, we now also provided a free weekly round-up of news on Substack .
Running the newsletters together has been super fun and we experimented with long-form pieces. In these initial couple of months we picked up steam when Vedica's pieces on Jio (I & II) dropped (she even got a s/o from the Ben Thompson!!). Week over week, we were also adding dozens of paid subscribers to the WhatsApp newsletter, along with the several thousand we had accumulated on Substack.
And then, we kind of hit a wall. After the summer, once our most popular pieces (CRED and Jio) were out, both of us were kind of burnt out. We were juggling really hectic jobs - I had just started at a new start-up and Vedica was working crazy hours at her consulting gig. As you all know, work from home has definitely been challenging when it comes to maintaining work-life-boundaries and the daily grind definitely got to us, when it came to generating long-form or more interesting content. We had ideas, but no time or mental space to write!! We also realized that perhaps we were hitting our ceiling with paid subscribers - when we had just started the Whatsapp newsletter, subscription slots sold out within minutes or hours in the first few months; but that slowly stopped.
We evolved to add a weekly update on our Substack. This included a quick rundown of the news we'd covered on WhatsApp the past week and one story with commentary and analysis. Over the last couple of months, rather than just cover two news stories every day, we've also taken to writing one short thematic update on WhatsApp every week, which we then share are our story on the week on Substack (for example, I wrote about Building in Public, and Vedica on the fight between Amazon and Reliance.) This felt like a good way to ensure we were providing our thoughts and opinions on things, without the pressure of a super long-form essay.
Overall, it's been a great year for us, and we have learned a lot. There was a lot to celebrate. But we also learnt that producing content is hard, and we want to be thoughtful and ensure that the newsletter continues to be valuable rather than just another source of noise in your inboxes :)
So moving forward in 2021, we decided to change up a couple of things:
First, we will be making the WhatsApp newsletter free
We will post 4 days a week instead of our current 6 days (5 days of WhatsApp updates + our weekly Substack round-up):
On Monday, we'll write our weekly column along with what we read / listened to / watched over the previous week. This will also go out to both our WhatsApp newsletter and our Substack mailing list.
On Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, we'll cover 2 stories each day in the Indian startup ecosystem with our summary and analysis on them. This will only go out to our WhatsApp newsletter but will be archived on our Substack.
We're going to try a couple of experiments on:
Interviews with VCs and Founders - Vedica's interview with Anu Hariharan (Partner, Y Combinator) was quite popular so we're looking to set a couple of more these up. If there are specific people / themes that you would like to see covered or have suggestions, please do drop us a line!
Small software products around our content - starting with a searchable archive of all past editions.
Our paid WhatsApp newsletter really started as an experiment, to see if there was a market for paid curated content on the tech eco-system in India. Both Vedica and I have closely followed the shifts in the US media landscape with creators starting their own paid newsletters. However, we feel that this is not necessarily the right approach for India right now. We are incredibly thankful to all our early supporters who felt our content was worth subscribing to! One of the most incredible things about the past year has been the number of people we have met, become friends with, and had fantastic conversations with because of one of our newsletters. We feel that by making all our content free, we can expand the number of people we reach, and allow people to choose the frequency with which they want to consume content and the medium on which they want to do so. We view this step as a logical one that helps us streamline our content and improve its quality. We are excited about everything 2021 promises for the ecosystem!
Thanks once again for subscribing to our content. And if you haven't yet, feel free to subscribe to our weekly column (on Substack):
And / or our daily newsletter (on WhatsApp)

5-STAR BETS
College Sports Betting
CFB Rankings
CBB Bracketology
Key Departures: Tyrece Radford (–>Texas A&M); Jalen Cone (–>N. Arizona); Wabissa Bede (Grad);
New In Town: Storm Murphy (<–Wofford); Lynn Kidd (<–Clemson); Sean Pedulla (#136); Jalen Haynes (NR)
State of the Program:
Mike Young has something cooking with Virginia Tech right now, after breaking through in year 2 by getting to the big dance he has quickly gotten the train back on the tracks after Buzz Williams' exit. He had tremendous success at Wofford capping it off with that famous 18-0 SoCo run and a win in the NCAA tournament. He enters this season getting back a majority of the contributors from last season, most notably leading scorer Keve Aluma (SR), along with fellow starters Nahiem Alleyne (JR) and Justyn Mutts (SR) and role player Hunter Cattoor (JR). He also gets back a couple of talented SO's from last year's class is David N'Guessan (SO) and Darius Maddox (SO) who were well regarded coming in and will get a chance to grow into a larger role after a year of development. This is a solid core for Young to continue to build with, and having All-ACC Aluma back is huge. They get their best 3-point shooters back in Alleyne and Cattoor and have promising young talent to develop. They should expect an even better season to come.
Young has brought in a couple pieces to compliment his returning core, with the most notable newcomer being former Wofford G and All-Southern selection Storm Murphy (SR). Murphy has been an absolute stud for Wofford and has played for Young and alongside Aluma during his time there. He averaged nearly 18 ppg and 4 apg last year and is a 42% career shooter from deep. This is a huge addition and he should come in and run the show at the point with his old teammate inside. The other transfer is athletic big Lynn Kidd (SO) who was #110 in last year's class but barely played at Clemson. His upside is his athletic ability but he also has potential to develop as a shooter and become a stretch big with huge defensive upside. Down the road he could explode as a really great player if he puts the time in, and this season will look to serve as a backup inside behind Aluma, Mutts and N'Guessan. Freshman CG Sean Pedulla (#136) also comes to campus looking to play right away, and they'll need him for depth behind this experienced backcourt. He had a video go viral on Twitter of him dropping 31 and looking like a young Jimmer Fredette, and has risen up draft boards at the last minute. He is an elite shooter and athletic enough, and crafty enough to create space and get his shot off. He should get time in the backcourt as a reserve right away and could become an All-Conference player down the road. The last newcomer is F Jalen Haynes (NR), who is not a major recruit on paper but Young throughout his coaching career has had success developing under recruited guys. He's 6'8" with a strong build so you'd have to think he'll redshirt but down the road look for his name to re-appear as a contributor for the Hokies.
The starting lineup of Murphy, Alleyne, Cattoor, Mutts and Aluma is as solid as solid can be. Aluma represents the type of All-Conference player inside you need to elevate a program. Around him they have 3 backcourt players who are 40%+ shooters from outside plus Mutts who is a force on the glass and a developing shooter. The issue with the Hokies will be rebounding, as they're undersized, as well as depth. The depth is concerning due to the inexperience, with Maddox, N'Guessan, Kidd and Pedulla likely filling out the rotation but having very little playing time at this level. Inside they at time abused on the glass, especially by larger teams like UNC. They do a good job of gang rebounding and crashing the glass from all 5 positions, that just limits their transition opportunities, hence the 298th pace ranking. The starters will be asked to play a ton of minutes, but that won't look much different from a year ago when Young played only 7-8 guys in big games, plus the reserves should come along as the season progresses. I look for Young to continue to elevate this program and make another appearance in the big dance as they will once again beat up on the bad teams in the ACC. What gives me hope is the combination of outside shooting and Aluma as a go-to playmaker, and that combination will provide for some upsets and maybe a surprise finish for the Hokies this season.

Thus, the election was effectively a plebiscite in which the Indian Muslims were to vote on the creation of Pakistan, a plebiscite won by the Muslim League. The Congresswhich initially denied the Muslim League's claim of being the sole representative of Indian Muslims, was now forced to recognise the fact.
However, the British did not want British India to be partitioned, and in one last effort to prevent it, they devised the Cabinet Mission plan. As the cabinet mission failed, the British government announced its intention to end the British Rule in - In the riots that accompanied the partition in Punjab Province, it is believed that betweenand 2, people were killed in what some have described as a retributive genocide between the religions while 50, Muslim women were abducted and raped by Hindu and Sikh men and 33, Hindu and Sikh women also experienced the same fate at the hands of Muslims.

The creation of Pakistan was never fully accepted by many British leaders, among them Lord Mountbatten.

Mawdudi demanded that the Constituent Assembly make an explicit declaration affirming the "supreme sovereignty of God" and the supremacy of the shariah in Pakistan. A significant result of the efforts of the Jamaat-i-Islami and the ulama was the passage of the Objectives Resolution in March The Objectives Resolution, which Liaquat Ali Khan called the second most important step in Pakistan's history, declared that "sovereignty over the entire universe belongs to God Almighty alone and the authority which He has delegated to the State of Pakistan through its people for being exercised within the limits prescribed by Him is a sacred trust".

The Objectives Resolution has been incorporated as a preamble to the constitutions of, and Democracy was stalled by the martial law that had been enforced by President Iskander Mirzawho was replaced by army chiefGeneral Ayub Khan. After adopting a presidential system inthe country experienced exceptional growth until a second war with India in that led to an economic downturn and wide-scale public disapproval in In Pakistan held its first democratic elections since independence, meant to mark a transition from military rule to democracy, but after the East Pakistani Awami League won against the Pakistan Peoples Party PPPYahya Khan and the military establishment refused to hand over power.
Independent researchers estimate that betweenan civilians died during this period while the Bangladesh government puts the number of dead at three million, a figure that is now nearly universally regarded as excessively inflated. Rose believe there was no genocide. With Pakistan surrendering in the war, Yahya Khan was replaced by Zulfikar Ali Bhutto as president; the country worked towards promulgating its constitution and putting the country on the road to democracy.
Democratic rule resumed from to -an era of self- consciousnessintellectual leftismnationalismand nationwide reconstruction. Democracy ended with a military coup in against the leftist PPP, which saw General Zia-ul-Haq become the president in From toPresident Zia's corporatisation and economic Islamisation initiatives led to Pakistan becoming one of the fastest-growing economies in South Asia.
President Zia died in a plane crash inand Benazir Bhuttodaughter of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, was elected as the country's first female Prime Minister.
The PPP was followed by conservative Pakistan Muslim League Nand over the next decade the leaders of the two parties fought for power, alternating in office while the country's situation worsened; economic indicators fell sharply, in contrast to the s.
This period is marked by prolonged stagflationinstability, corruptionnationalismgeopolitical rivalry with Indiaand the clash of left wing - right wing ideologies. When the National Assembly historically completed its first full five-year term on 15 Novemberthe new elections were called by the Election Commission. The idea of Pakistan, which had received overwhelming popular support among Indian Muslims, especially those in the provinces of British India where Muslims were in a minority such as the United Provinceswas articulated in terms of an Islamic state by the Muslim League leadership, the ulama Islamic clergy and Jinnah.
The Objectives Resolution in Marchwhich declared God as the sole sovereign over the entire universe, represented the first formal step to transform Pakistan into an Islamic state. However, Pakistan's pan-Islamist sentiments for a united Islamic bloc called Islamistan were not shared by other Muslim governments, although Islamists such as the Grand Mufti of Palestine, Al-Haj Amin al-Husseini, and leaders of the Muslim Brotherhoo became drawn to the country.
Pakistan's desire for an international organization of Muslim countries was fulfilled in the s when the Organization of Islamic Conference OIC was formed. The strongest opposition to the Islamist ideological paradigm being imposed on the state came from the Bengali Muslims of East Pakistan whose educated class, according to a survey by social scientist Nasim Ahmad Jawed, preferred secularism and focused on ethnic identity unlike educated West Pakistanis who tended to prefer an Islamic identity.
After Pakistan's first ever general elections the Constitution was created by an elected Parliament. It also stated that all laws would have to be brought into accordance with the injunctions of Islam as laid down in the Quran and Sunnah and that no law repugnant to such injunctions could be enacted.
Pakistan's leftist Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto faced vigorous opposition which coalesced into a movement united under the revivalist banner of Nizam-e-Mustafa "Rule of the Prophet " which aimed to establish an Islamic state based on Sharia laws. Bhutto agreed to some Islamist demands before being overthrown in a coup. The geography and climate of Pakistan are extremely diverse, and the country is home to a wide variety of wildlife. It is the 33rd-largest nation by total areaalthough this ranking varies depending on how the disputed territory of Kashmir is counted.
Geologically, Pakistan is located in the Indus-Tsangpo Suture Zone and overlaps the Indian tectonic plate in its Sindh and Punjab provinces; Balochistan and most of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are within the Eurasian platemainly on the Iranian plateau.
Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Kashmir lie along the edge of the Indian plate and hence are prone to violent earthquakes. This region has the highest rates of seismicity and the largest earthquakes in the Himalaya region. Pakistan is divided into three major geographic areas: the northern highlands, the Indus River plain, and the Balochistan Plateau.
There is an expanse of alluvial plains along it in the Punjab and Sindh. The climate varies from tropical to temperate, with arid conditions in the coastal south. There is a monsoon season with frequent flooding due to heavy rainfall, and a dry season with significantly less rainfall or none at all.
There are four distinct seasons in Pakistan: a cool, dry winter from December through February; a hot, dry spring from March through May; the summer rainy season, or southwest monsoon period, from June through September; and the retreating monsoon period of October and November.
The diversity of the landscape and climate in Pakistan allows a wide variety of trees and plants to flourish. The forests range from coniferous alpine and subalpine trees such as sprucepineand deodar cedar in the extreme northern mountains to deciduous trees in most of the country for example, the mulberry-like shisham found in the Sulaiman Mountainsto palms such as coconut and date in the southern Punjab, southern Balochistan, and all of Sindh.
The western hills are home to junipertamariskcoarse grasses, and scrub plants. Mangrove forests form much of the coastal wetlands along the coast in the south. Coniferous forests are found at altitudes ranging from 1, to 4, metres 3, to 13, feet in most of the northern and northwestern highlands. In the xeric regions of Balochistan, date palm and Ephedra are common.
In most of the Punjab and Sindh, the Indus plains support tropical and subtropical dry and moist broadleaf forest as well as tropical and xeric shrublands. These forests are mostly of mulberryacaciaand eucalyptus. The fauna of Pakistan also reflects the country's varied climate. Around bird species are found there, including crowssparrowsmynashawksfalconsand eagles.
Palas, Kohistanhas a significant population of western tragopan. The southern plains are home to mongoosessmall Indian civethares, the Asiatic jackalthe Indian pangolinthe jungle catand the desert cat. There are mugger crocodiles in the Indus, and wild boardeer, porcupinesand small rodents in the surrounding areas.
The sandy scrublands of central Pakistan are home to Asiatic jackals, striped hyenaswildcats, and leopards. The chinkara is the only animal that can still be found in significant numbers in Cholistan. A small number of nilgai are found along the Pakistan-India border and in some parts of Cholistan. The flora and fauna of Pakistan suffer from a number of problems.

Pakistan has the second-highest rate of deforestation in the world, which, along with hunting and pollution, has had adverse effects on the ecosystem. The government has established a large number of protected areas, wildlife sanctuaries, and game reserves to address these issues.
Pakistan's political experience is essentially related to the struggle of Indian Muslims to regain the power they lost to British colonisation. This constitution is the country's most important document, laying the foundations of the current government. The first successful democratic transition occurred in May Politics in Pakistan is centred on, and dominated by, a homegrown social philosophy comprising a blend of ideas from socialismconservatismand the third way.
As of the general elections held inthe three main political parties in the country are: the centre-right conservative Pakistan Muslim League-N ; the centre-left socialist PPP; and the centrist and third-way Pakistan Movement for Justice PTI. Since Independence, Pakistan has attempted to balance its relations with foreign nations. The Kashmir conflict remains the major point of contention between Pakistan and India; three of their four wars were fought over this territory.
Located in the strategic and geopolitical corridor of the world's major maritime oil supply lines and communication fibre optics, Pakistan has proximity to the natural resources of Central Asian countries. Due to ideological differences, Pakistan opposed the Soviet Union in the s. A close ally of the United States during the Cold warPakistan's relationship with the United States soured in the s when the US imposed sanctions because of Pakistan's secretive nuclear development.
Pakistan does not have diplomatic relations with Israel ; nonetheless, some Israeli citizens have visited the country on tourist visas.

Pakistan was one of the first countries to establish formal diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of Chinaand the relationship continues to be strong since China's war with India informing a special relationship. Friendly Sino-Pakistani relations reached new heights as both countries signed 51 agreements and Memorandums of Understanding MoUs in for co-operation in different areas.
After Independence, Pakistan vigorously pursued bilateral relations with other Muslim countries and made an active bid for leadership of the Muslim worl or at least for leadership in efforts to achieve unity.
Such developments along with Pakistan's creation did not get American approval, and British Prime Minister Clement Attlee voiced international opinion at the time by stating that he wished that India and Pakistan would re-unite.
Pakistan vigorously championed the right of self-determination for Muslims around the world. Pakistan's efforts for the independence movements of Indonesia, Algeria, Tunisia, Moroccoand Eritrea were significant and initially led to close ties between these countries and Pakistan.

This was confirmed in a statement by India's Defense Minister, Krishna Menonwho said: "Kashmir would vote to join Pakistan and no Indian Government responsible for agreeing to plebiscite would survive.
Pakistan claims that its position is for the right of the people of Jammu and Kashmir to determine their future through impartial elections as mandated by the United Nations, while India has stated that Kashmir is an integral part of India, referring to the Simla Agreement and to the fact that elections take place regularly.

As a young #BAME woman working in the charity sector in the UK, i have been faced with 'subtle' discrimination especially during hiring processess. You know that odd look you get, when you come into an interview room and are the only 'person of colour' in the room. Or the feeling you get when you absolutely know you have aced an interview and you get a disappointing email with no explanation as to why you weren't picked? Does this sound familiar and how can we begin to promote inclusion in the sector?


What do physical societal standards say about us?
TRAINING FIERCELY. Smearing war paint on her face, Nikol Safronova '17 doesn't let her petite build keep her from lifting weights or tossing around a football. Despite the notion that certain physical appearances define what one can and can not do, many students choose to break from traditional boundaries and explore activities outside of their build.
Whether it's posters of bodybuilders in the gym or photographs of a Chicago Ballet company, representations of physical stereotypes permeate our lives, clouding our heads with the rights and wrongs that we see, of what we are supposed to look like as men and women.
As children, a simple trip to the toy store could even enforce these norms onto us. The rows of dainty Barbie dolls, with fashionable clothes and a model figure, create the image of what a girl is encouraged to look like. The aisle for the boys, filled with buff action figures and superheroes, might lead young boys to think that they have to be muscular.
Some toy companies like American Girl Doll, base their mission around creating a diverse product that appeals and shares features of the owner of the doll, unlike most other doll companies who revolve all their products around one popularized image. An American Girl Doll representative said that when buying an American Girl doll, consumers can create and personalize their doll's skin color, hair color and other physical characteristics.
But, at what point does one stop conforming ourselves to societal definitions of beauty? Throughout our careers, education and even hobbies, stereotypes of what we are 'supposed to be' might have clouded our judgment, as they have for Andrew Scheidler '13, a sophomore dance major at University of Illinois. Scheidler experienced hesitation for many years as to whether or not he should pursue dancing. His perception of dance was that it was dominated by females who have been dancing since a very young age and who have incredible amounts of experience along with different physical capabilities due to increased flexibility, fluidity and musicality.
"The fear of having little to no experience and being thrown into something that I had little confidence in really acted as a barrier to my involvement in dance," Scheidler said.
After much contemplation, Scheidler took the leap of faith and decided to join the dance community at Stevenson his senior year. He attended every master class offered through the Stevenson's dance program and any studios nearby. Scheidler had a difficult time overcoming the predetermined stereotype that men don't succeed in the art of dance.
Another activity stereotyped to have a predominant female community is yoga. But with an increasing popularity of the sport, more males are signing up for yoga classes according to Tabatha Whitney, owner of CraVe Yoga LLC, who has instructed yoga classes to more built and muscular male students.
Scheidler mentioned that just because a certain stereotype exists for what you look like or how your physical makeup affects what you do, doesn't mean that you should change yourself to fit into a pre-made mold. This applies for anything from sports to hobbies, or even everyday activities, he mentioned.

The company never shares the revenue comes from smartwatches so we don't know the exact number that Apple made from the smartwatches.
The Swiss industry contains Rolex, Swash and some other popular brands that failed to sell the proper numbers. Apple, on the other hand, has broken its record of 2018 and increased sales by 36% in 2019. The upcoming Apple Watch Series 6 will come with TouchID & fingerprint sensor and it will make its own record.

you can't declare and initialize a class member View at the same time, because the Context is not yet valid
change it to:

    private TextView txt;

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        txt = new TextView(this);
        // other code

also I noticed that you are not adding this View to any of the containers that your provided to setContentView. The suggestion will fix the crash but you will not see the TextView's content

UPDATE: Before you read the below, know that the Maryland General Assembly has just passed a bill protecting the Harris Creek, Little Choptank, Tred Avon, St. Mary's, and Manokin River sanctuaries - with veto-proof majorities! It also specifically states that reefs be built with substrate that has been proven to maximize oyster density. Thank you, Maryland General Assembly!
Maryland Senate Bill 362, introduced January 31, attempted to make oyster replenishment harder and less effective. This bill, sponsored by Senators Stephen Hershey (district 36), John Bailey (district 29), Mary Beth Carozza (district 38), and Adelaide Eckardt (district 37), states that the DNR "may plant or allow to be planted only certain native oyster shell of a certain species for use as substrate for an oyster restoration, propagation, or replenishment project;" it then went on to place a number of restrictions and requirements on the use of anything else, such as stone and concrete.
According to NOAA, stone reef built in Harris Creek has been shown to support 400 percent more oysters than shell reef. So, why would any legislator who truly cares about the health of the Chesapeake make it harder to replenish oysters? Isn't it obvious that we should be looking to these far better performing substrates for oyster restoration? Of course it is. But there's one problem with oysters grown on concrete, rock, and rubble: they're difficult or impossible to harvest commercially.
Certain commercial interests – not all of them, there are plenty of responsible watermen out there – are willing to sacrifice one of the best oyster restoration tools we've found yet in order to harness more of the state's funds, so said state uses a far less effective but harvestable restoration method. And there are politicians out there who are perfectly willing to aid them in that endeavor by putting forth odious bills like SB 362.
All this takes place with one to two percent of the historic oyster population left. It's utterly irresponsible. It's sickening. And it's dang well about time we let our politicians know that in the eyes of we citizens who actually care about the Bay, this is a firing offense.
Names, districts, counties, and contacts for all of your legislators can be found on the Maryland General Assembly web page. Just as important, however, it's also time to let Governor Hogan know how we the angling community feels about the issue (here's your link to contact the Governor). Remember that less than two years ago he supported opening a large portion of Maryland's protected oyster sanctuaries – despite polling that shows 90-percent of Maryland voters want the state to protect those sanctuaries.
In most regards many of us, Republicans and Democrats alike, are proud of your performance in office. But to those of us who love the Chesapeake the one glaring stain on your record is a consistent willingness to back commercial interests over the good of the Bay's health. We ask you to look at the example of Florida, where Republican and Democratic administrations alike recognized long ago that the economic and social values of clean water and healthy recreational fisheries far outweigh those of commercial interests – and when commercial harvest directly and incontrovertibly threatens both the environmental and recreational health of waterways and fisheries, common sense and good politics dictate prioritizing the interests of society as a whole.
We'd hate to think that money trumps the will of the people, but why else would a leader put the interests of so few before 90-percent of his or her constituents?
As well as doing what is quite simply the right thing for Marylanders, while you consider your own political future here and beyond we hope you will reconsider your position on matters like this that directly impact the health of the Chesapeake Bay.


Is Barack "Little Boots" Obama's goal to destroy the United States of America as the World has known it? The Nobel Peace Prize was a nod of approval on part of The Socialist in Europe. Behind his smile is a seething and deep rooted hatred of anything European. He disrespects the Queen of England, returns the bust of Winston Churchill and snubbed the PM at the G20 Summit. He is steadfastly destroying the Economy of America with advice from Soros and manipulating the Educational System with Ayers. The numerous "Czars" are the "Shadow Government".
Why would a prize started by a famous European Industrialist be awarded and honor bestowed upon an individual who seems to be relentless in destroying the strongest nation on Earth? Are they suffering from the "Stockholm Syndrome"?

RNC resumes backing of Moore as DNC calls on Franken to resign
Stef W. Kight
Brynn Anderson, J. Scott Applewhite / AP
The Republican National Committee confirmed today that it is renewing its financial support for Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, at the same time as the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, along with a growing list of Democratic Senators, called for the resignation of Sen. Al Franken.
Why it matters: Al Franken has been accused of sexual misconduct, including unwanted kissing and groping by seven different women. Roy Moore has been accused of sexual assault and harassment by at least 9 women, one of whom was 14 years old at the time of the alleged assault. While senior Republicans initially called on Moore to step down, the party has come around to support the candidate again. Democrats are moving in the opposite direction on Franken.
