Dear Parents and Families
I commence this message offering my sincerest thanks to Tim Veevers, Geoff Perks, Adam Howells and Valerie Bell who, along with a united team of dedicated staff, students as well as members of the Parents and Friends' Association, pulled off the most magical of productions this year. I was fortunate to attend the opening night and was treated to superb singing, colourful costumes (coordinated by Amy Willet and Val Bell), innovative props and superb set designs.
I am also very appreciative of the support of the PFA members who were positioned Front of House and operated the kiosk. I would like to make special mention of Fiona Faulkes from the office who was always on hand to assist with any last minute issues and Bronwyn Moline who liaised with the PFA. Events such as this require a huge time-commitment from the staff that are there every night until after the curtain closes. They contribute to events such as this because they truly care about the students who participate in the production.
You may have already listened to one of our podcasts, which were instigated by two MGSC Alumni, Georgia Higgins and Katherine Powell (2013) who are media graduates from Swinburne University and have created their own start-up business creating podcasts for business and other organisations such as Mentone Girls' Secondary College. Their business is called 'Off Air Media'. The focus of the first podcast was on the production and performing arts area. There were interviews with staff and students and a sneak peek of the singing and orchestra playing from the musical 'Wonder in Aliceland'. Within days, the podcast was number 11 on the iTunes education chart. If you have not listened to it yet, please do. You will find the link on our school website under News and Calendar as well. You will hear the voices of our students and staff involved in the production and in the school band. Our next Podcast will be coming up soon, so stay tuned for this and add it as a favourite in iTunes.
I hope that you have cast your vote for Getting Girls on Track in the 'Pick my Project' community grants initiative. We cannot do it without you and our students deserve to have these facilities. Please spread the word. Details are on our website and in this newsletter.
We will be reviewing our 2015-2018 Strategic Plan next week with a panel comprising of two Principals from other Schools, a DET appointed Reviewer, Regional Representative, student representation and staff from our leadership Team. We are seeking the assistance of any parents who might be available between 9am and 9.30am on Monday 3 September to provide feedback to the panel. Please email me on [email protected] if you are able to assist us. We require approximately 4 – 5 parents on the morning.
Message from the School Council
This will be my final School Council newsletter article as my daughter and her cohort of Year 12 colleagues are in the final stages of the learning ahead of studying for their VCE exams.
I have been on School Council for nearly five years and over that time have seen many wonderful changes at our school. Many classrooms have been renewed or renovated, the grounds have been freshly landscaped, new shade cloths have been installed, we have a new logo, and we have a new principal in Linda Brown.
I am confident that these changes will continue after I leave School Council as I am happy to report, that at this month's school council meeting, we had a presentation from a leading School Architect where he laid out a Masterplan for the future of MGSC. At the concept design stage only, this Masterplan included a recommendation for a new STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) Centre and a new main school building.
In other news, the School Aerobics team performed superbly having competed at the National Aerobics competition on the Gold Coast over the weekend. The Dynamos (a team made up of Years 9, 10 and 11 students) finished 6th and The Untouchables (Year 12) finished 4th, just missing out on third by 0.2 of a point!
I have found the role of School Councillor rewarding and interesting and a great way to get involved with the school community. With my daughter leaving the school this year, my term as a School. Councillor comes to an end. I would encourage any parent who wants to contribute to the running of the school to consider nominating in 2019.
Richard Elstone
School Council member
Do we have your current email address?
Many members of the school community are using email to communicate with parents. Don't miss out on important announcements and updates. Ensure we have your current email address. If you recently changed it, please notify the General Office.
Rochelle Dickson, our Director of Assessment and Analytics has updated the assessment and reporting guide for parents. This can be found on Compass under School Documentation, which is located in the Community tab on the menu at the top of the page. The guide is also on the website under the Curriculum tab. http://mgsc.vic.edu.au/curriculum/assessment-and-reporting-guide-for-parents/
PFA thanks
Thanks to the following members of the PFA who looked after front of house duties for the recent production of Wonder in Aliceland: Jo Baxas, Anna Borek, Jane Briffa, Bella Ciurej, Michelle Lafferty, Sujo Lee, Miriam Maguire, Linda McIntyre, Ales Nebesky, Robyn Salisbury, Elizabeth Semmel and Emma Walker. Your support of the students and of the college is greatly appreciated.
Parent Opinion Survey
To all the parents who were randomly selected to participate in the online Parent Opinion Survey - the closing date has been extended to Sunday 2 September. Parents can submit completed online surveys until 11.59pm Sunday. Thanks to those who have already submitted responses.
A wonderful experience in Aliceland
Congratulations to everyone that contributed to the success of 'Wonder in Aliceland', the 2018 school musical.
There were two capacity performances for local primary schools, four evening performances and a matinee. These were the result of weeks, days and hours of rehearsals, design and construction of sets, making of props, preparation of costumes, and the design of sound and lighting.
Students and staff contributed as directors, choreographers, production managers, technicians, performers, chorus members, dancers and musicians. The work was done backstage, onstage, front of house, in rehearsal rooms, in the art rooms, in classrooms and in the bio box. Over a hundred students were involved and of course many, many hours.
The official program acknowledges the many people who made it all happen. Well done to everyone.
National Science Week was celebrated across Australia from 11 to 19 August. The theme was Game Changers and Change Makers. Students had opportunities to attend a number of events, many with a focus on women in science. A very special event was being able to invite Year 5 students from local primary schools to participate in experiments in our labs, guided and assisted by students.
Here are some reports on the many activities our students participated in over the week.

Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health
On 16 August, we were lucky to have several neuroscientists from the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health come to visit us for National Science Week. The first speaker, Thijs Dhollander, spoke to us about his work with diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI), a way of scanning the brain and using computer imaging to test what direction the axons in the brain were travelling, so that when neurosurgeons have to cut out tumours in the brain they can make sure the tumour is safe to operate on. He also showed us a couple of examples of dMRI scans that had been done on patients to test if a tumour was safe to remove, including a scan of his own brain so we could see how it worked.
The second speaker was Amy Shepherd, and she told us about her work researching the effects of Alzheimer's disease and possible ways to combat these effects working with mice. She told us about training mice to use touch screens to test how well they learn and perform cognitive tasks, both in mice with and without Alzheimer's disease.
Additionally, the neuroscientists informed us about research that is currently being conducted on genes, which could possibly be used to treat one form of epilepsy using concentrations of spider venom.
It was really interesting to hear about current research of the field of neuroscience and psychology, and a bit about where it's headed for the future! It was also really cool to hear about the relevance of what we learn in Psychology and how it is used practically in the field, particularly as in Units 3 & 4 Psychology we learn about the neural basis and effects of Alzheimer's disease.
Big thank you to Ms Mel Erwin for organising this event.

Go Girl Go for IT
On Thursday 16 August, Casey Boswell attended the 'Go Girl Go for IT' event, where she spoke at a panel with other inspiring women in IT representing the Australian Women in Security Network (AWSN), to share her passion for technology and her STEM experiences so far.
The event is run by the Victorian ICT for Women network every two years (since 2001) to encourage and showcase careers in IT to Victorian school girls in Years 5 to 12. This includes hands-on workshops, presentations and an IT careers expo consisting of booths from universities, companies and organisations promoting IT careers such as Telstra, ANZ, AGL Energy and Toyota (to name a few).

Inspiring Australia's young scientists
During the first holidays this year and throughout Term 2, a group of Year 11 students were reaching out to Rotary clubs in our community in search of endorsement and sponsorship for their applications to the National Youth Science Forum (NYSF).
This year's successful applicants are Katie Barnshaw, Casey Boswell, Charlotte Collins, Natalie Hooper, Isabelle Jacques, Zahra Mackenzie and Caitlin Morris.
The NYSF takes place over the summer holidays for students entering Year 12 who are passionate about Science. The 12 day residential program is designed to give students a broader understanding of the diverse study and career options available in science and STEM. Students visit laboratories, go on site tours, attend lectures, take part in workshops, go to social events and participate in group activities that improve communication and presentation skills. The focus in not on academic achievements but rather on developing well-rounded individuals.
Last year's attendees from MGSC were Margaret Bradbury, Olivia Jaconelli, Kate McMahon and Sally Walker. The four of them kindly gave up their time to mentor the Year 11 applicants and were instrumental in preparing the students for the application process which included contacting Rotary clubs and attending interviews. We even set up mock interviews at school.
I am so proud of the students who applied. They pushed through the fear of interviews and contacting strangers, and challenged themselves to achieve their goal.
Student experiences of the NYSC application process.
After the NYSF students of last year sparked interest in prospecting future candidates with a presentation during a year level assembly, the eager Year 11s began their lengthy application process for the exciting science program by contacting their local Rotary clubs. The Rotary clubs help run the application by endorsing selected applicants and help fund the costs of the program. They met the Rotarians of the clubs to get their endorsement to allow them to complete an application online. This application consisted of questions about their interest in STEM subjects, why they want to attend the program and to get to know the applicant. Once the application was submitted, all that was left was the district interviews (groups of Rotary clubs based on location areas). The past NYSF students were eager to help the applicants and wrote up a list of potential interview questions. They also collaborated with volunteer teachers to run mock interviews.
As the date of the district interviews approached, the applicants were ready to perform. But in a rare case, the district interviews got cancelled as it was determined that there was a sufficient number of places allocated to our district to accommodate the applicants. Therefore, after their online applications were reviewed, they were accepted into the program!
Casey Boswell (Year 11)
The Year 11s have all been successfully accepted into the National Youth Science Forum (otherwise affectionately known as 'nerd camp'). We are now all eagerly awaiting to hear news on whether we got into the Canberra or Brisbane sessions. Either way, it is a very exciting time for us all in the science community.
Katie Bradshaw (Year 11)
We really enjoyed mentoring the girls in their application for NYSF, and are very excited for them to experience NYSF in January!

Primary School lab visits
Over the weeks surrounding National Science Week Year 5 students from Beaumaris Primary visited our science laboratories and used equipment to carry out experiments. MGSC students from Years 8 to 10 assisted the primary students in conducting and understanding the experiments and what important scientific concepts were involved.
The students rotated around the workbenches, exploring a game changing idea in each of the VCE sciences studied at MGSC:
Biology – Students operated microscopes to observe the tiny hairs on spiders legs, tar in a smokers lung, and the individual cells of a plant.
Chemistry – The chemical reaction between magnesium and an acid was observed (and heard as they lit the resulting gas with a match!)
Environmental Science – water quality was considered as students challenged each other to make a filter that would produce the cleanest water.
Physics – Evidence of the electron shell model of an atom was observed in the form of coloured flames produced by burning chemicals over a Bunsen burner.
Psychology – Baffling optical illusions were tested and discussed.
MGSC students share their experiences.
My partner and I were doing the environmental science experiment. I think that this was great as it got the visiting students involved and I believe that they really enjoyed making their water filtration systems. I found it interesting to see what kind of solutions each group would come up with. Some water filtration systems worked well and some didn't work well. They saw for themselves what they could have done. I think that it was a great learning experience for the kids and they were very diligent in thinking about what materials would filter out the large and small bits of dirt and reaching the end goal of making the water clear.
Asmita Raj (Year 9)
I had a great time helping out with the primary school visit. The students visited our science classroom and completed five workshops. The five workshops were all topics that were covered in science at our school which included, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Psychology and Environmental Science. I had an amazing time assisting with the Environmental Science workshop. In this workshop, students had to create a water filtration method to filter dirty muddy water into clean water. This workshop not only used their creative skills but also their thinking skills as they had to use materials that were different to the other group. It was amazing to see the different methods the students came up with. Overall, the primary school students enjoyed all the workshops.

Girl in Physics Breakfast
Year 10 student Diane Luo; three Year 11 students - Indiana Budimir, Rebecca Smith and Michelle Taneja; and two Year 12 students - Margaret Bradbury and Samantha Atran - attended the annual 'Girls in Physics' breakfast.
Girls from all over Victoria travalled to Monash University to hear Dr Ceri Brenner speak about her experience studying physics and entering the field of Laser Physics. She didn't go easy on the science behind it all, but it was great to see that our MGSC students identified concepts that they had learnt in class.
After the talk we walked over to the Synchrotron. Not usually open for visitors, we were grateful to have our very own tour guide take us around the whole ring and explain what each station's specialty was and the sorts of research that has been done there, from detecting the chemical makeup of paint underneath the top layer of a famous painter's painting, to collecting real time data of the degradation of breast milk in a bottle.
It was a big day and we were in awe of the minds behind all the science and technology that is the Synchrotron.
Science Breakfast
On Wednesday 15 August, Casey Boswell, Natalie Hooper, Grace Grimmer, Caitlin Morris and I visited Mentone Girls' Grammar for the annual Science Breakfast where we heard an inspirational speech from Jacqui Savage.
Jacqui taught us that anyone of any ability can pursue science and that in our lifetimes we will have more than one career! The event allowed us to network with fellow girls in science from our neighbouring schools and provided us with a deeper insight into future career opportunities in STEM.
We would like to thank Ms Briedis for organising for us to attend this event.
Katie Barnshaw (Year 11)
Congratulations Chloe!
On Monday 20 August Chloe Shovelar was invited to the Melbourne Town Hall Council Chambers as one of seven finalists in the Junior Lord Mayor Competition. Chloe was interviewed by a judging panel comprising of Melbourne Lord Mayor Sally Capp, Peter Hitchener, Denis Walter, Dr Jo Clyne (History Teachers' Association of Victoria) and the CEO from 13CABS.
She was asked a series of questions based on what she would do to improve Melbourne and how she would make a difference to our community. Whilst Chloe was not crowned Junior Lord Mayor, it was a fantastic achievement to be selected as a finalist and a wonderful experience for Chloe. Well done!

2018 National School Aerobics Competition
We would like to acknowledge and congratulate the two school aerobics teams who competed in the 2018 National School Aerobics Competition on Sunday 26 August. The girls have been training hard for many months braving the cold early mornings before school.
The National Championships held in Gold Coast saw both teams achieve amazing results. The Untouchables, a team consisting of Year 12 students were the first Mentone Girls' Secondary College Year 12 team to make it to the Nationals. The team finished in a very close 4th position, missing out on third place by only 0.2 of a point. After achieving 5th place in all of Victoria they gave their best performance coming 4th in Australia.
The Dynamos, a team consisting of Year 9, 10 and 11 students also had an outstanding result finishing 6th in Australia.
The girls represented the school with pride and are to be commended on their dedication and team spirit. Many thanks to Miss Tess Molina for her coaching and commitment to the teams.

Year 10 Student Leaders Conference
Tereza Nebesky and I, along with 12 other girls from Victoria's seven government girls' schools, met at The Mac. Roberton Girls' School, to discuss plans for the upcoming annual Victorian Association of State Girls' Secondary Colleges conference.
The objective of the conference is to encourage young girls to pursue their dreams and aspirations in life, without considering misogyny and gender to be an obstacle. Our goal, over the four planning days, was to organise an event, in which 15 selected girls from each school would have the opportunity to develop positive self-awareness and build strong relationships with new people they meet along the way.
Each year, a theme is selected as a key focus point of the event, this years' being S.T.R.I.V.E. The acronym stands for: Strength, Talent, Resilience, Independence, Values and Empowerment. These are six traits we all believe to be necessary for an optimum mindset, and healthy lifestyle. As part of the event, we plan to have motivational speakers, self-defence lessons, self-appreciation building exercises for the girls to take part in and finish off the day with show bags put together by the student organisers. It is our role to plan a day incorporating S.T.R.I.V.E as much as possible, in order to make sure it has a lasting effect on all participants, so they will leave feeling they had gained something from such a unique, once in a life time experience.
The conference will be held on Wednesday 19 September at The Mac. Robertson Girls' School. We hope all those involved enjoy the conference as much as Tereza and I have enjoyed planning it!

Book week celebrations 2018
This year's Book week was celebrated in style with many classes joining in for fun filled educational activities in our brand new Library. The theme of the Book week for this year was 'Find your treasure'.
The library organised games and competitions on finding treasures among books. While looking for treasures our girls learned about our genre system, the shelving order of the books and also the images of the genre labels. They had great fun and also won prizes.
The highlight of the Book week activities was the author lecture given by the award winning famous Australian author of many teenage fiction titles; James Moloney. James Moloney was studied by our students just a couple of years ago and they loved seeing him and hearing from him in person. James talked about how he started off as a writer while working as a teacher in Queensland, how he transformed thoughts into words and then into books. He also gave valuable tips on becoming a successful writer and how to get books published.
His advice to our students was 'Don't lose heart if your first book is rejected by publishers, just keep writing'. He also read snippets of a few of his prize winning books. More than 200 girls came for the lecture and were transfixed to his reading and also asked many useful questions. I would say our girls were highly inspired by the visit.
Neelika Kottachchi
Students in Year 7 to 10 are currently preparing for their last CAT of this term and then they will be planning for the Public Speaking Competition early in week four.
All girls will present to their classes and initially they will choose a topic and undertake research for this accordingly.
Many girls became involved in library activities to celebrate Book Week, culminating in the attendance by several English classes at a talk given by prominent children's author James Moloney.

Outdoor and Environmental Studies
The Year 11 Outdoor and Environmental Studies class had a great few days at Mt Buller as we are having one of our best snow seasons in sometime. Most students were new to the snow and managed the runs really well by the last day. The camp was full of spills and thrills and the girls had a great time, hopefully considering yet another outdoor pursuit to add to their list.
Fitness & First Aid
The Year 9 Fitness & First Aid class had their first taste of interval and Fartlek training at Runnez last week as they are about to embark on their own training program to improve selected fitness components. The class did really well in the session and it was great to see them all pushing themselves throughout the session.

When you notice your dog is not moving as quickly, aches or seems uncomfortable, it can send you into a panic. It's tough to know exactly how, where and why they're hurting. As a pet parent, you can learn to recognize signs of discomfort and when to seek veterinary care.
When dogs are young and healthy, they roll around, leap and play hard, full of what seems like endless energy. As dogs mature, there is some settling. But how do you know if your pet is feeling some age-related distress or discomfort?
Is your dog hesitant to jump into the car or onto/off of the bed or couch?
Is your dog hesitant or slower going up or down stairs?
Does your dog prefer carpeted rooms or walk slower/more carefully on slippery floors?
Does your dog get up slower, with more effort, after a long nap?
Did your dog use to follow you everywhere, but now seems to shadow you less?
Does your dog seem worried, reluctant to respond or disobedient?
Is your dog reacting negatively or flinching/pulling away when being picked up or touched/petted?
Dogs do not always stop eating or vocalize when they have discomfort.
Dogs can endure discomfort quietly, but if you are an astute pet parent, you may spot some of these signs. Trust your instincts. You will know when your dog isn't comfortable. Discuss your observations and concerns with your veterinarian. And remember that when dogs are at the veterinary office, they are excited and may not show the same signs there as they do at home.
You can do a lot to help make your canine companion comfortable! Your veterinarian will outline a plan that may include weight loss, regular exercises, pain medication or supplements to manage discomfort.
Glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate and green-lipped mussel provide building blocks to support healthy synovial fluid, cartilage and connective tissues in joints.
Omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil supplements promote joint health and may help relieve inflammation associated with everyday activity and exercise.
Plant extracts that contain bioflavonoids such as turmeric, Boswellia, catechin and baicalin may promote normal inflammation and help reduce oxidative damage from exercise, training, competition and normal aging.
These types of supplements may support normal healthy muscle, joint, connective and nervous tissue structures and functions that promote overall joint health, mobility and whole body comfort.

Nonexishonesty In Iago's Honor In Othello
Iago's honor is essentially nonexistent, as he works throughout the entire play to manipulate, lie, and cause general havoc amongst Othello, and other characters in the play. He appears to be a well rounded, well respected, and honest individual, but in the end he was the rope to many characters noose throughout the play. Setting up the seeds for Othello's jealousy, and the wrath and the horrors that Desdemona, and other characters had to face at the end. He appeared to be a great guy to those who thought they knew him, but in reality, he's as wicked as the snake in the garden of Eden. The first example of Iago's trickery lies is in Act II Scene III Line 226 "Reputation is an idle and most false imposition; oft got without merit and lost …show more content…
It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock The meat it feeds on" This quote is a signal of warning coming from the serpent himself; Iago. This was a warning given to Othello, by his "reliable", "trustworthy", "honest-friend", Iago. The same honest Iago, who set up Cassio and Desdemona to be his targets for Othello's rage. The same honest Iago, who lied to Roderigo about getting Desdemona to be his. The same honest Iago who got Cassio fired from his position. The same honest Iago, who manipulated every man, every woman, and every person in this play. Iago was a manipulative character, who used his reputation, his perceived "honor", and perceived "honesty" to put in the seeds of jealousy in Othello's mind. A man who never ever even could consider his wife cheating on him, on his own. A man who isn't one to get jealous easily. Iago was the person to put these thoughts into his mind. By using his reputation as a way to manipulate Othello's thoughts. That lead him to murder his own wife. This quote was the starting point, that lead to the tragic events that happened in the rest of the
Iago Psychopath Analysis
322), "they do suggest at first with heavenly shows" (2.3.323). Unlike most people who try to copy good role models, Iago is very well on the way to becoming a devil himself. His knack for making up lies and feeling no remorse is evidence that Iago is a psychopath who does not have a conscience. Iago's insincerity exceeds his harmful lies and clever deceit of almost all the characters , including his many faces, leaves the audience wondering if he even knew who he really was. From the very beginning, it is obvious that Iago should not be trusted, from the time he was causing trouble for Othello and Desdemona with Brabantio, acting too chummy with Roderigo and hiding his true motives for everything from everyone.…
Othello As A Tragedy Analysis
While the degradation of Roderigo happened which lead to his death, Cassio grew to become a better person. Iago victimized each character of the play, and lied and cheated his way to becoming lieutenant. The play showed how people can be easily manipulated by trusting the wrong guy, and even if you were helping the bad guy you still will end up with a knife to the back.

In the play, Othello, there are several unique characters but none like Iago himself. He is one of a kind. He is a master manipulator and a conniving delinquent above all. He preys upon the innocent to perceive his longing for deceiving everyone in his way. Which most readers believe that it was all about Iago's jealousy of Othello.…
Character Analysis Of Othello, The Moor Of Venice
He is manipulative, wants people dead, and schemes behind peoples back. Iago has gained the trust of Othello over the years and especially in the time span of this play. He is somehow able to not only lie to Othello, deceive him, ruin Othello's reputation, and manipulate Roderigo, but most impressively everyone until the end thought he was a helpful, trustworthy guy and did not expect him of foul play. As simple as it might be his motive was his hate for Othello. "Though I do hate him as I do hell-pains, Yet, for necessity of present life, I must show out a flag and sign of love," (Shakespeare), says Iago to the audience in Act I, Scene I. Iago believes that he has been overlooked as a great solider and should have been given a higher title, Cassio's title.…
The Relatable Characters In William Shakespeare's Othello
Karma came back in a full circle and in order to destroy Othello, he must also destroy Emilia, Desdemona, and finally himself. The one man who Iago failed to kill, Cassio, is the only character left at the end of the play. Iago 's magnitude for brutality seems to have no boundary, and the efforts he gives to compensate his evil actions are just enough to explain the unbelievable amount of destruction he unleashes on the lives of the people he knows best. Beware of those who can be trusted too easily. Despite Iago's evil ways of trying to make Desdemona seem like a deceitful wife, Desdemona is the more sensible character throughout this play.…
Theme Of Deception In Shakespeare's Othello
In fact, every character in the play has referred to him as "honest Iago". This proves that he is deceptive because he has managed to manipulate every single character into thinking he is the good guy, yet he is the villain. Shakespeare might have used repetition of the word "honest" to accentuate the extent of the characters' trust in Iago. However, that trust had consequences. For instance, when Othello says ' 'This fellows of exceeding honesty and knows all quantities, with a learned spirit of human dealings.…
Brutus Portia's Death Analysis
Brutus cared for Portia, but he let his plotting get the better of him and his life. Brutus had malevolent motivations when he involved himself with Cassius and the other conspirators, that produced life-altering consequences. Yet, he believes there is more tragedy still to come. Et tu, Bruté? Brutus is so immersed in the conspiracy, that he is destroying the people he loves.…
Man Vs. Self In Edgar Allen Poe's The Cast Of Amontillado
self. Montresor in the beginning of the story addressed "You, who so well knows my nature of my soul," Montresor needed to tell someone and get out of his chest the revenge he had taken against Fortunato (Poe 1108). He wanted to let the person know he was confessing to that his actions he took in murdering his friends was not how everyone knew him. He was seen to any man in his community as kind and no one would have thought he would be able to murdering his own friend without a reason. "His death-bed confessor – for if Montresor has murdered Fortunato," the revenge against his friend Fortunato had a major affect with himself and needed to confess the awful murder he committed (Thompson).…
Literary Elements In Othello
His contemplations are, for the most part, to be blamed on Iago. Iago is told about Othello's plan and Iago doesn't directly tell Othello, but informs him that he should go through with it. Later that night, Othello goes through with it and kills his wife. When someone (Emilia) finally speaks up for Iago's villainy, he puts them to death too. With him willing to kill his wife and then just leave the scene, shows that he doesn't care what he did, making him a true convict.…
Originality In Iago's Marionette
His deeds blossomed from staying put at Brabantio's window, to the attempted murder of a man. He continually succumbs to Iago's bidding rather than doing his own. Roderigo does not want to kill Cassio initially. But through Iago's convincing, Roderigo succumbs to the most dastardly act a person could commit. This shift of ideas can be seen in the play when Roderigo states that "I have no great devotion to the deed, / And yet he hath given me satisfying reasons.…

H.P.A.Q presents 3D visualizations of the air quality and housing prices in Bristol divided by constituencies. These visualizations provide people with easy to understand comparisons of air quality data recorded and published by the Bristol city council with average housing prices in the same areas from the Zoopla API.
By comparing these sets of data, people can observe how the two may be connected and if any patterns emerge between them. Furthermore, H.P.A.Q will highlight which areas the council chooses to measure pollution levels in. People living in Bristol may see that their area or constituency is not recorded year round, if at all. This could inspire them to engage and participate more with local issues and their MP's as air pollution is a very important issue that many people around the country care about.
People can access the web application through the browser and interact with a 3D map of Bristol. The map is divided into constituencies and air pollution is displayed with transparent bars of different colors.
A sidebar provides color keys to help users differentiate between each location. 3D models of houses are placed in each location to display the housing price. Larger houses represent higher prices, which is also communicated through the sidebar. People using the application can select which month over 2016 they would like to see comparisons for, and can toggle which pollutant to display (no, no2 and nox).

It's official: Woodstock 50 is cancelled
Thu 1st Aug 2019 08.37 BST
One of the longest-running festival sagas we've ever known has finally come to an end. It's official, Woodstock 50, the 50th-anniversary event of the legendary festival Woodstock.
The festival has faced a multitude of difficulties since it was first announced. It had ticketing issues, financial backers drop out, a couple of unfounded cancellation announcements, and most importantly, no place to hold the venue. While the organisers did finally quell the location problem, having found a spot in Maryland, the organisers have announced that the festival will not go ahead.
"We are saddened that a series of unforeseen setbacks has made it impossible to put on the Festival we imagined with the great line-up we had booked and the social engagement we were anticipating," Michael Lang, co-founder of the Woodstock Music and Arts Festival, said in a statement.
Baron Wolman's stunning images of Woodstock Festival 1969 offer an unabashed view of a moment in time
"When we lost the Glen and then Vernon Downs we looked for a way to do some good rather than just cancel. We formed a collaboration with HeadCount to do a smaller event at the Merriweather Pavilion to raise funds for them to get out the vote and for certain NGOs involved in fighting climate change."
Greg Peck, principal of Woodstock 50 said: "The unfortunate dispute with our financial partner and the resulting legal proceedings set us off course at a critical juncture, throwing a wrench in our plans and forcing us to find an alternate venue to Watkins Glen. The timing meant we had few choices where our artists would be able to perform. We worked hard to find a way to produce a proper tribute — and some great artists came aboard over the last week to support Woodstock 50 — but time simply ran short.
"We are greatly disappointed and thank all of our supporters, including the team at Merriweather Post Pavilion and Howard County Executive Calvin Ball. Woodstock's values of peace and tolerance are more important today than ever for all of us to stand for and we look to the future for ways to honor and celebrate these ideals."
So though the festival may be cancelled, the spirit of Woodstock 1969 still lives on!

The surface of a thing, by definition, is always the part of it that we see. It is the outermost layer that defines our idea of an object in both sight and memory; when we record or represent things remembered, we also often do so on a surface—paper, a canvas, a wall. In Pascal Hachem's first solo exhibition in the United Kingdom, "The Show Has a Long Title That I Don't Recall Anymore," the Lebanese artist uses a number of new works to progressively alter superficies in unforeseeable ways, questioning in turn the capacity of impressions to remain accurate over time.
The three larger works in the exhibition, each of which occupied the majority of the wall or floor on which it was mounted, all involve surfaces being formed, damaged or changed. In Left Under (2017), several wire brushes are part of a mechanism driven by an electric motor, such that they constantly move up and down to scrape the gallery's wall, progressively exposing and removing layers of paint from previous exhibitions and events, unevenly and unpredictably altering the wall's surface so as to partially recall past states through glimpses of time gone by.

PASCAL HACHEM, Back to Square One, 2017, irons, flour, metal structure, step motor and electrical board. Photograph by Andy Stagg. Courtesy The Mosaic Rooms, London.
Notable in Left Under are the use of readymade, handheld implements and the lack of any attempt to conceal the mechanisms that control them, the combination of which suggests the absence of human involvement as the work strides forward in its function, as opposed to negating the maker's hand altogether. This gave the exhibition's several curious apparatuses the air of remnants, making references to quotidian human actions and states from the past that were now eerily played out in the repetition of motions, losing something of their essence with each iteration like faulty clockwork toys running to the ends of their springs. Again using domestic objects as components, Back to Square One (2017) is a motor-powered rack-and-pinion system with two household irons attached to either end of a linear gear. Each iron moves slowly back and forth through a mound of white flour—a staple food and symbol of community—working a flat but easily corruptible surface into the powder. Surrounded by thousand of chaotically arranged grains encroaching on either side, and subject to the slightest disruption by any number of external phenomena, this repetitive process of smoothing over a surface—on which some record of activity might be imprinted—edges toward futility, even self-defeat. As in Left Under, the wholeness and stability of the surface are constantly undermined.

The repetition at the core of these kinetic works does not serve to stabilize the surfaces that they process, but rather alters them by injecting doubt on the reliability of our readings of them, as well as the ways in which we might remember and interpret the past. The right leg of each pair of trousers suspended above a mirror in The Stone in My Pocket (2017) has a rock where the foot might be. As another motor-driven mechanism lifts the leg to knee-height before letting it thump back down, the accumulated impacts fragment the reflective surface beneath, aleatorically reconfiguring it while corrupting and erasing the image it previously carried. Again, the ability of a surface, like a memory, to reliably bear impressions over time is cast in doubt.

PASCAL HACHEM, Tears, 2017, collected concrete masonry unit blocks and tiles from demolished houses and eyeglasses. Photograph by Andy Stagg. Courtesy The Mosaic Rooms, London.
The most poignant and complex of the installations on show was Tears (2017). A series of plinths hold eyeglasses, each pair with one lens sandwiched between or compressed beneath clusters of concrete blocks and tiles, which were retrieved from demolished houses. This work was one of several non-kinetic pieces in the show, though Hachem's use of materials here succeeds in creating a sense of human absence remembered—more so than in his other exhibited installations. Nonetheless, this is only one part of a complex nexus of meaning. In an evocative, almost violent symbiosis, the glasses are at once held in place and subject to damage by the small masses of rubble, and their surfaces simultaneously carry these marks and the function of elucidating others, suggesting that the act of seeing can also be subject to corruption. In critiquing the capacity of a given surface to reliably maintain an image, Hachem's work does not tell us to ignore our memories, but—as with anything seen through mirrors, lenses, scratched walls or unstable surfaces—reminds us that they can be warped. Underlying it all, when considered in the context of the series of upheavals that have affected Beirut and Lebanon in the past few decades, changing physical, social and political landscapes alike, the surfaces here and how they retain images may reflect more than initially meets the eye.
Pascal Hachem's "The Show Has a Long Title That I Don't Recall Anymore" is on view at The Mosaic Rooms, London, until December 2, 2017.

Taekwondo Korea Center's very first Christmas Party was a joyous time filled with lots of love. We played games, ate delicious food made by our very own TKC families, enjoyed a funny skit prepared by the TKC staff, and even listened to some live Christmas music by Master James and John!
The biggest message of the night was the message of "giving". Here at Taekwondo Korea Center, what we want to do is to give to our students our skill, wisdom, affection, and love. But we don't want to stop there. We want our students to be givers as well. As our students say in TKC Oath, we want them to be "A light in this society". Our Christmas party was an application of this message. As Masters and instructors gave to the students through their skit and live music, TKC families gave to each other through food, gifts, and laughter. We even raised donation to help a 7-year-old girl Ava who is fighting with Leukemia Cutis.
We finished the night with a time of open mic where many people shared how they've been given. A sense of thankfulness filled the room, and every single one of us had a big smile on our faces. This is what Christmas is about. It isn't just about receiving, but recognizing how much we have been given, and therefore overflowing onto selflessly giving.
We love you all very much, and have a merry Christmas!

There's a really really funny but painful story behind this outfit of the day shot.
Like I mentioned on Instagram, this outfit shot will always remain the epic shot that landed me in the a&e 20 minutes later.
watch where you go, be careful of what you step on.
Yes, that is all hehe.
But before, the whole shenanigan went down, I was so excited to wear this dress out cos I really love the uneven hem of the dress. At first, I called it my Peterpan dress, then I thought Peterpan has the whole collar thing associated to him already, so why not Tinkerbell huh? OK, Tinkerbell dress you shall be. Tinkerbell dress was paired nicely with my dusty pink ribbon belt. The Tinkerbell dress also comes in Navy, if you play safe with colors and dislike green hehe.
Have I mentioned that I love Poplook's belts?
They're just so awesome la. I usually don't wear belts that cinch the waist cos they're either too big or too tiny and they don't stay put. But Poplook's belts has the whole adjustment thing so no matter what size you are, it will work for you.
Recently, I've been loving all these tops/dresses that go all the way up to my knees. As usual, I will always pair my plain tops/dresses with printed pants. The floral jeans are from Zara. Floral pants/jeans must be an in thing for Zara right now cos I saw that even for their fall season, they have a lot of floral printed ones albeit dark colored.

Q: Javascript debug in Firefox: how to show the stack of calls with error I am doing a web application. In Firefox, I am able to use Web Developer's Debugger tool.
In my Javascript code, I got the error in Firefox
TypeError: a is undefined

The above error happened in jQuery.
I know that the data I pass to jQuery is not right. However, there are many jQuery calls in my code and I don't know which call leads to this error.
Anyway to show the stack of calls that lead to an error via Debugger? The way Java shows error stack trace?
Thanks!

A: Here is what I did.
Use development version of jQuery (not the file with min in it).
Find the error line in jQuery. Before it, insert the following:
console.trace();

console.trace() shows the trace.
I am not sure whether there is any easier way.
Hope this helps someone else.
Cheers.

A: July 2018 UPDATE
Context:
I bumped into this question because I couldn't find the stacktrace in the Debugger tool of the FF console anymore (FF 61).
In the many versions that followed, at the epoch of the original question, the stack trace was obvious to see in the console (F12). But despite what is being said today in the official documentation for FF42+ (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Debugger), I am not able to see the Call Stack tab anymore in the console of Firefox 61.
The trick is to revert to the old debugging front-end, by following their hint:
set "devtools.debugger.new-debugger-frontend" preference to false in the about:config section of the browser.
Restart, and the Call Stack tab should then appear on the left of the Debugging console (see image attached).

Cancer Research Dryathlon 2016
Dec 17, 2015, 11:39 am0
Cancer Research UK is again challenging social drinkers to take a month-long break from alcohol with the return of its fundraising campaign, Dryathlon.
Dryathlon 2016 sees a new advertising campaign, created by Karmarama, which will appear across TV, radio, digital and social media. A specially-written song alongside animation will be used across the channels.
Echoing the fun and light-hearted tone of Dryathlon, the new campaign will encourage Dryathletes to still have a good time in January and be proud of being sober, positioning not drinking for a month as simply removing one vice temporarily from their life. There is still ample opportunity for fun, while at the same time raising money to help beat cancer.
Dryathlon kicked off in 2013 and focuses on the willpower required to go dry for a month. Participants, known as Dryathletes, undergo the dry challenge of 31 days without alcohol to raise money to beat cancer sooner. They can do this through sponsorship from friends and family or pledging the money they have saved by keeping off the booze.
Anthony Newman, director of marketing at Cancer Research UK, says: "Dryathlon is back and we want it to be our biggest and best yet. Dryathlon is the original campaign that challenges the nation to put down their pints. Since 2013, it has raised over £17m for our work to beat cancer sooner – so the pressure is on for a brilliant fourth year in 2016."
Newman adds: "To carry on this success, it's essential Dryathlon continues to innovate and appeal, and I believe the new campaign will achieve this. It feels fresh, fun and builds on what we've learnt from previous campaigns, highlighting our message that Dryathlon is not about staying in but getting out and enjoying yourself."
Since 2013, 170,000 Dryathletes have raised over £17 million for Cancer Research UK's life-saving work.
Dryathlon will run from January 1st to 31st January 2016, with registration now open at dryathlon.org. Participants can take part on their own or as part of a team.
Cancer Research UK is the world's leading cancer charity dedicated to saving lives through research. Its pioneering work into the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer has helped save millions of lives. It receives no government funding for its and relies entirely on donations.
Karmarama is one of the largest independent marketing communications companies in the UK, with 300 specialists in advertising, direct, data, digital, content, social media, mobile and public relations. Karmarama works with global clients such as Honda, Nintendo and Costa Coffee internationally; in the UK, its clients include BT, Cobra, Iceland and Plusnet.

The Pope made the disclosure in impromptu comments during a visit on Sunday to Rome's Anglican church, All Saints'. It was the first visit to the parish by a pope, and marked the 200th anniversary of the church's opening.
"My aides and I are studying the possibility of a trip to South Sudan," he said in response to a question about Christian churches in Africa.
He recalled that in October the Catholic, Episcopalian and Presbyterian bishops came to Rome to discuss the situation in their country and invited him to visit.
Pope Francis said they told him 'but don't come alone, come with Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury.' Archbishop Welby is spiritual head of the worldwide Anglican communion, which has about 85 million members and is the world's third-largest Christian denomination.
"The situation is a bit ugly down there but we have to do it because the three of them (the local bishops from different churches) together want peace and they are working together for peace," Pope Francis said.
Oil-producing South Sudan, which became independent in 2011, descended into civil war in December 2013 when a dispute between President Salva Kiir and his sacked deputy, Riek Machar, ended with fighting, often occurring along ethnic lines. Both sides have targeted civilians, human rights groups say. President Kiir's government declared a famine in some part of the country last week.
South Sudan has been hit by the same east African drought that has pushed Somalia back to the brink of famine, six years after 260,000 people starved to death in 2011.
The Pope said the trip would likely last just one day, which Vatican sources have said would be for security reasons.
No indication was given as to when it could take place but sources have said it would be this year.
At the Anglican Church, Bishop Robert Innes welcomed the Pope by praising the Roman Catholic leader for his solidarity with refugees and migrants.
Anglicans split from Catholicism in 1534, when England's King Henry VIII was denied a marriage annulment. Both churches are striving toward greater closeness.
The Pope in his homily acknowledged that Anglicans and Catholics 'viewed each other with suspicion and hostility' in past centuries. He encouraged both faiths to be 'always more liberated from our respective prejudices from the past'.

Fill a medium skillet 3/4 full with water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add vinegar, salt, then add 3 of the eggs. Simmer over medium heat (no stirring) for 3 to 4 minutes, or until yolks are desired consistency. Transfer eggs to a bowl of warm water (to hold them), and repeat procedure with the remaining eggs.

Bam () ist eine Stadt in der Provinz Kerman im Südosten des Iran mit etwa 77.000 Einwohnern (Stand: 2013).

Geographie
Bam liegt in der zentralen Hochebene Ostirans, die hauptsächlich aus Steppe und Sandwüste besteht. In den Oasen um die Stadt gedeihen Dattelpalmen und Zitrusfrüchte, deren Bewässerung durch Qanats erfolgt.

Geschichte
Die Zitadelle Arg-é Bam wurde vermutlich zwischen dem 6. und 4. Jahrhundert v. Chr. gegründet. Die von den Sassaniden – wenn nicht sogar früher – in einer Oase gegründete Stadt wurde 642 von den Arabern besetzt. Um 650 wurde die Hazrat-e-Rasul-Moschee errichtet. Seit dem 7. Jahrhundert bereits war die Stadt ein bedeutendes Zentrum der Textilherstellung sowie des Handels. Als befestigter Grenzposten wurde die Stadt häufig von Afghanen, Belutschen und Sistani angegriffen. Im 18. Jahrhundert wurde die Stadt von den Afghanen kurzzeitig erobert (1719 und 1721) und Lotf Ali Khan, letzter Schah Persiens aus der Zanddynastie, unterlag im alten Bam in seiner letzten Schlacht. Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts wurde die ummauerte Stadt verlassen und in zwei Kilometer Entfernung das heutige Bam gegründet. Die historische Stadt aus verputzten Lehmziegeln diente bis Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts als Militärlager. Im Wesentlichen stammen die Bauten Bams aus der Zeit der Safawiden (16.–18. Jahrhundert).

Erdbeben

Am 26. Dezember 2003 um 1:56 UTC (5:26 Lokalzeit) wurden die Zitadelle und ein Großteil der Stadt Bam durch ein Erdbeben verwüstet. Seine Stärke betrug 6,6 auf der Momenten-Magnituden-Skala. 70 Prozent der modernen Stadt Bam wurde zerstört. Offiziell starben 30.000 Menschen durch das Erdbeben, nach unabhängigen Untersuchungen gab es über 43.000 Tote und 30.000 Verletzte. Die Vereinigten Staaten sandten Bergungstrupps und medizinische Hilfsgüter. Auch die deutsche THW-Spezialeinheit SEEBA war mit Rettungskräften, Ortungsgeräten und Spürhunden im Einsatz.

Am 21. Juli 2004 wurde die Stadt Bam erneut von einem Erdbeben der Raumwellenmagnitude mb = 4,2 erschüttert. Bei diesem Erdbeben wurden auch Fertighäuser, die für Überlebende des Bebens vom 26. Dezember 2003 errichtet worden waren, wieder zerstört.

Zum Wiederaufbau sagte die internationale Gemeinschaft Bam 1,1 Mrd. US-Dollar zu.

Erkenntnisse
Anlässlich der Auswertung von Bildern zur Erdbebenkatastrophe wurden zu diesem Zeitpunkt unentdeckte Qanate (Frischwasserkanäle) sowie Mauerfundamente, die bis in die Zeit um 2500 v. Chr. zurückreichen, entdeckt.

Sandsturm
Am 16. März 2007 wurde die Stadt ohne Vorwarnung von einem Sandsturm mit einer Geschwindigkeit von  130 km/h heimgesucht, wobei 3 Kinder erstickten, 2 Personen in Verkehrsunfällen getötet und 14 weitere Personen verletzt wurden.

Weltkulturerbe
Die Zitadelle wurde 2004 durch die UNESCO zum Weltkulturerbe erklärt und gleichzeitig auf die Rote Liste des gefährdeten Welterbes gesetzt. Damit soll der Wiederaufbau der beim Erdbeben vollständig zerstörten Festungsanlage sichergestellt und unterstützt werden.

Panorama

Verkehr
Die Stadt liegt an der Bahnstrecke Qom–Zahedan, der südlichen Ost-West-Eisenbahnverbindung des Iran.

The field of peacemaking is in turbulent change. There are more peacemaking actors than before but fewer success stories, and an increasing number of violent conflicts tend to resist negotiated agreements. Tools and practices created for traditional inter- and intra-state conflicts have become ineffective and revision of old mediation practices is called for. This book examines how the private peacemaking organisations have faced this challenge. In the 21st century, private peacemakers have become a central part of peace diplomacy and have appeared as flexible actors whose innovative thinking paves the way for reconsidering and reinventing old practices of mediation. Instead of emphasizing the act of resolution, a new emphasis is given to the transformation of violence into a peace system, the complexity of conflict and the inadequateness of rational management. Furthermore, this shift has brought civic society actors from the field of reconciliation to the field of peace mediation. This new pragmatic approach under development can be called dialogic mediation.
Marko Lehti is University Researcher (Senior Research Fellow) at Tampere Peace Research Institute and the Academic Director of the MA Programme Peace, Mediation and Conflict Research, both at the University of Tampere, Finland. Dr. Lehti's research in the field of peace and conflict research particularly focuses on peace mediation and dialogues, crises of liberal peace, transformation of identities and the idea of Nordic peace.


We packed up the rigs again after Oklahoma City and headed for a tag along with the Cooks to Winstar Casino in Thackerville, OK. We stayed at the Casino RV Park, which is new and beautiful. We had 5 rigs here: Cooks, James Smiths, Jerry Smiths, Fishers and Laningas. Hessie Smith had arrived earlier and greeted us with a prepared dinner of beef stew hash, which we complemented with other foods. Jack and Susan Kelly surprised us by driving up from nearby Sulfur, OK to join us without their trailer and we really enjoyed catching up with them. The management at the Winstar RV Park was very helpful and offered us use of the Guest Pavilion for getting together even though we had only 5 rigs,(6 couples with the Kellys) instead of 10.
The rain stopped almost immediately when we arrived, but we had a very cool, cloudy few days. Many went directly to the casino to try their luck while others enjoyed the amenities at the park. It was a perfect "decelerating" place for those who had been on the road for a couple of weeks.
As usual, we ate lots of good food in the casino and at the park. The Pizza from Matador's was especially good. Of course, the Senior Breakfasts on Wednesday and Thursday mornings are a real draw as they are free to seniors. If you haven't been to Winstar lately, you haven't been to Winstar!
The James Smiths and the Fishers and Laningas had to leave early in the week for other obligations, leaving the Jerry Smiths and Cooks to finish up the tag-along in good company. It was the perfect end to a perfect Oklahoma road trip. Thanks to Ida and Les for inviting us to join them!

The Dispatch! The Sadness of Donald Trump!
Krish Mohan September 26, 2018 October 2, 2018 Cultural Commentary, Political Satire, The Dispatch
So in the last 2 years we've seen Donald Trump attack the media claiming they're the enemy of the people. He's not totally wrong, considering mainstream media only teaches the populous that discourse is who can scream their points and beliefs the loudest. Another enemy of people are kneeling Football players. But priest that make kids kneel for them are just fine because like the Donald they too falsely believe in a book they don't really understand.
Now we can add protesting to the long list of enemies the President has declared. Ok, so protesters have been an enemy of Trump's for a long time. In the past he's called them out and encouraged violence towards them and is on verge of making sign making a treasonous crime. Which would be no surprise since when we want to take rights aways it always starts with the Art kids! And now he says it's embarrassing to the country to have protester show up at a confirmation hearing. The kicker is that Trump claims he doesn't know what side the protesters on half the time.
This sounds like senility right? When they're holding "Down with Trump" signs, I think it's pretty clear what side they're on. Now this is another page Trump is taking out of the Dictator's playbook. He's claimed that it's shows respect when Kim Jong Un speaks all his citizens stand up straight and listen. Or they're standing up straight and dreaming of better life where they don't have to live in fear and have a competent leader! Protesting is just a vocal version of that so really Donald's getting better and more honest treatment than most dictators.
When London decided to have a inflated baby Trump for his visit he said he was offended and felt unwelcome. Similar to most immigrants in America when you generalize them to be rapist and killers. But now he doesn't want to go to London, proving the Balloon right.
Really all this proves is that this is an old man that wants friends. He uses his toxic language and masculinity to impress everyone. He's stuck in Middle School trying to get someone, anyone to dance with him. He makes the media, football players and protesters his enemies but in reality it's the idea of rejection that he's really mad about. But at this point in order for the American people to not reject him he's going to have come to terms with Dictator envy and awful behavior and change or things will only remain the same and the glaring reality will be that no one is on your side.

Marlins News & Rumors
Stadium News - Sort of

Share All sharing options for: Stadium News - Sort of
I don't know how many of you saw this story posted in the comments by (Oh, God, I don't have to find out by whom and I can't remember) but by someone. It is about a proposal that the new stadium being at the Miami Arena instead of the Orange Bowl site.
Here is the original story: Miami Arena Owner Wants To Build Ballpark On SIte
MLB responded:
Responding to a last-minute suggestion from the Miami Arena owner that a new ballpark for the Marlins could be built on that site, Major League Baseball's President and Chief Operating Officer told MLB.com that a shift from land that once housed the famous Orange Bowl to the projected rubble of the old downtown arena would be a major setback.
"We've located a site that is optimal for the development of a new stadium. Building at the old arena site would be extremely problematic," said MLB's Bob DuPuy, who has spent hundreds of hours negotiating the current deal. "This could cost us an additional year, if not two years. Right now, time is not our ally because the Marlins' lease [at Dolphin Stadium] expires in 2010, and the arena site does not present a viable alternative to us."
In other words, the Miami Arena site ain't going to happen.
I'm not so sure the Orange Bowl site is optimal, but maybe it is given the current political climate. But I can think of a couple better places to build the stadium, however, that is all water under the bridge.

I can remember year after year writing my Christmas list for Santa. Of course it included dolls, games, and always clothes. I have loved clothes since I can remember. As the years progressed I found that clothes and accessories were the only thing I wanted. Now, just because I own J.June that does not mean I can own everything I carry. I decided to look at my inventory and make my Christmas list J.June style!
This is my list…what can I help Santa with for you?
