I love books that have a soul mate type of love with the sense of danger. WILD WOODS was fascinating, very creative and in a way different from others of the same genre. Although it's still a story about a paranormal creature trying to fit in a world that doesn't entirely understand them, this one brings a fresh perspective, creating a completely different feeling.
Madison has never believed in soul mates or magic. Planning her vacation around getting a tattoo wasn't what normal people do. But after a co-worker told her about a particular tattoo artist whose specialty was inking the image of the wearer's destined mate, Madison was too intrigued to pass it up. Looking down at the new tattoo, Madison is not sure what it is supposed to mean. The half demon, half human man's image is gorgeous, but how could this picture be part of her destiny?
Brody Blazewood has spent his life fighting generations of evil. Each male of his lineage has embraced the monster inside of him. Brody refuses to follow. Protecting the little New Hampshire town from the destruction of the Blazewood Demons is his destiny, even if the citizens don't know what is going on.
Liking the freedom of being single, Madison has only sought companionship for the bedroom. She never allowed anyone, family or friends, to invade her privacy. So what was it about commitment that frightened her so much? Maybe Madison just never met a guy who intrigued her enough to get close. Hiking along the trails of the quite town had her reflecting about everything in her life and whether it was time to open her heart to someone.
Madison never realized that finding her soul mate would place her between a battle of good and evil and deciding whether the power of love can make a person worth fighting for.
I found WILD WOODS to be a captivating story with a fast pace and good character development. The romance was not sappy, but highly charged with lots of steamy erotic scenes that had me blushing numerous times. Both characters had vulnerabilities and strong personalities, which I loved. The only thing holding me back is that I felt it could have used a little more depth at the climax. I thought I needed a little more payoff for the buildup.
Otherwise, WILD WOODS is a great, fun read with a lot of originality and extra hot spiciness to satisfy you.

Mokono: A hidden gem in Holland
Posted on October 10, 2019 by FARPost
In the past 5-6 years South Africa has seen the rise of so many players overseas who were born outside of the country to South African parents.
Or there are players who left the country at a very young age to relocate to European countries and Sylian Mokono is one of those players.
The defender being born in Netherlands to South African parents.
Sylian Mokono is a 20-year-old right back who has been going through the ranks at Dutch top division club FC Utrecht where he currently plays for their B team Jong Utrecht.
Mokono was promoted to the first team of the Dutch club for the new season but he had an injury setback at the end of the last season which dealt him a major blow.
The big, tall and strong right back is back playing again having featured in all of Utrecht's games this season off the bench so far but he will be hoping that he regains full fitness and gets back to make his first team debut soon.

Mixed emotions for SA's overseas stars
Posted on October 7, 2019 October 7, 2019 by FARPost
It was a weekend of mixed emotions for South African footballers all over Europe as they had contrasting results in their respective leagues.
Bafana midfielder Kamohelo Mokotjo came on after 63 minutes in a very tactical game as Brentford lost 1-0 against Nottingham Forest in the English Championship to slip to 16th position on the log in what has been a shaky campaign for 'The Bees' so far.
Tom barkhuizen scored a goal and assisted one more as Preston North End ran to a convincing 5-1 victory over Barnsley, also in the Championship on Sunday afternoon.
Siyabonga Ligendza featured for 75 minutes for Cardiff City's U18 side as they went on to lose 2-1 to Charlton Athletic U18.
Bongani Zungu has been in and out of the team at Amiens and this weekend the midfielder came off the bench in the 83rd minute as his side clinched a huge 3-1 victory against giants Marseille to make their intentions for the season known.
Lebo Mothiba, meanwhile, was a 55th minute substitute for Strasbourg as they narrowly lost 1-0 against DFC Dijon in Ligue 1.
In what was surely the moment of the weekend in Ligue 2, Lebogang Phiri (pictured celebrating with teammates) wore the captain's armband as EA Guingamp thrashed Rodez Averyon 4-1 to continue their gradual climb up the log and sit 7th now.
The bad news for Bafana, who are playing Mali this week, is that Percy Tau limped off with an after just 39 minutes into the game after playing a big part in Club Brugge's second goal which was scored by Diatta as Brugge went on to dispatch Gent 4-0 on the day to continue their dominance in the Jupiler league. It's not clear at this stage of Tau would be available for Bafana's match.
Bradley Cross played the entire 90 minutes as Schalke U19 dispatched Ingolsdt 3-0 in the U19 DFB Pokals to progress to the quarter final of the competition.
Both Kabelo Seriba and Kgotso Masangane played the full 90 minutes as FC Metta lost against Liepaja in the league, the positive for Kgotso though is that he scored yet another goal taking his tally to six for the season.
Sphephelo Sithole played 90 minutes as Belenenses' U23s lost 1-0 to Maritimo. He has recently been promoted to the first team of the club too so he is waiting for his opportunity.
Edmon Khumalo featured for the whole 90 minutes for Sanjoanense as the won away at Amarante in the third division. Khumalo has now cemented his place in the starting XI since making his switch from Bidvest Wits.
Keanin Ayer netted his second goal and perhaps most important goal for Varbergs Bois as they clinched an all important 4-0 victory against struggling Vasteras in the second division to go back to the top of the table with just three games remaining.
Liam Jordan had a game to forget for HB Koge as he was sent off in added time as HB Koge suffered a shock 2-0 loss against Sikeberg.

Церква-пам'ятник Різдва Христового () — чинна церква , пам'ятка культури національного значення, перший пам'ятник болгаро-російській дружбі, на території Болгарії. Знаходиться на південному боці Шипкинського перевалу, на  околиці міста Шипка.

Всередині церкви і на стінах відкритих галерей встановлені 34 мармурові плити з назвами військових частин, що брали участь в боях за Шипку, а також  з іменами російських солдат і офіцерів, і болгарських ополченців, які загинули під час оборони Шипки і в боях біля міст Казанлик і Стара-Загора. В саркофагах у крипті церкви покояться останки героїв. Дзвони відлиті в Росії — на їх виробництво російське військове відомство виділило близько 30 тонн стріляних гільз. Найбільший дзвін важить 11 643 кг і є особистим подарунком імператора Миколи II.

Історія
Ідея будівництва церки, його задум належить Ользі Миколаївні Скобелєвій, матері прославленого генерала Скобелєва. Задум став всенародною справою, кошти на його реалізацію стікалися від цивільних і військових організацій, численних жертводавців, звичайних громадян Росії та Болгарії. Комітет з будівництва очолив граф Микола Павлович Ігнатьєв. Воля меценатів була такою, що церква створена для молитовного поминання воїнів-визволителів, тому, як і собор бл. кн. Олександра Невського в Софії, вона отримала найменування «церкви-пам'ятника».

Будівництво згідно  проекту архітектора А. Й. Томишко почалося в 1885 році. До складу комітету входили П. А. Васильчиков, В. П. Мелницький, принц Олексій Миколайович Церетелі, князь Євген Максиміліанович Ліхтенберський та інші.

Будівництво завершилося в 1902 році. Комплекс церкви-пам'ятника складався з церкви, монастирського корпусу, готелю для паломників, притулку та духовної семінарії. Церква хрестостокупольна, з квадратним наосом і трьома апсидами. Його образ навіяний мотивами ярославської школи церковної архітектури XVII століття.

Офіційна церемонія відкриття відбулася 27 вересня 1902 року, граф Микола Ігнатьєв виголосив урочисту промову, з нагоди 25-ї річниці шипкинськой епопеї. Спеціально для цього випадку з Росії прибула імперська делегація, до складу якої входили Михайло Іванович Драгомиров, Микола Григорович Столєтов, Костянтин Чиляєв, граф Михайло Павлович Толстий та інші. В крипті церкви встановили 17 надгробків з останками загиблих російських воїнів. Семінарія так і не відкрилася з церковно-політичних причин.

Церква мала статус монастиря та підпорядковувався безпосередньо Російському святійшому синоду, причт надсилали з Троїце-Сергієвої лаври.

Настоятелями церкви були ієромонах Геннадій (1902-04), ієромонах Ферапонт (1904-14) та ієромонах Максим (1914-15). Після 1915 року, коли Болгарія оголосила війну Росії, ієромонах Максим відбув у Росію, а церква та його майно охороняли два послушники, які прибули з Троїце-Сергієвої лаври ще до війни, — Микола Чернов і Павло Щоткін. 8 лютого 1917 року вони були несподівано інтерновані болгарською владою, а церква та прилеглі до неї будівлі захоплені. Коли 6 листопада 1918 року М.Чернов та П.Щоткін були звільнені й повернулись до служіння, вони застали церкву та її майно розграбованим.

26 жовтня 1921 року в церкву вперше після Першої світової війни був призначений настоятель — о. Антоній (Троепольский), по недільним та святковим дням відновилися богослужіння. Починаючи з 1924 року на службу в церкву призначалися різні священнослужителі без права займати посаду настоятеля, а адміністративне управління церквою здійснював Комітет у справах російських біженців в Болгарії, який назначав керуючими світських осіб. В будівлях, що примикають до церкви, з 1923 р. діяв Притулок для калік і хроніків Російського Товариства Червоного Хреста, а з 1928 р. — Шипкинський інвалідний будинок Союзу Російських Інвалідів в Болгарії (в 1942 р. об'єднані в Притулок для інвалідів та хворих іноземців, з 1955 р. будинок пристарілих).

5 серпня 1934 року церкву та прилеглі до нього будівлі передані СРСР Болгарії. 30 жовтня 1945 року церква передана у юрисдикцію Московського Патріархату. 1 січня 1948 р. передано Військовому міністерству НРБ. Російське благочиння існувало до 10 листопада 1952 р., останній російський священик, о. Йосип (Гордєєв), служив до вересня 1968 р. У липні 1967 року церкву передано Комітету з мистецтва та культури НРБ. 27 грудня 2004 р. переданий Болгарській Православній церкві.

Внутрішній розпис церкви проведена в 1959 році за Патріарха Олексія I на кошти Московської Патріархії художником Н. Е. Ростовцевим з колективом художників.

На території Болгарії є понад 450 пам'ятників, які присвячені російським визволителям (так болгари називають всіх учасників російсько-турецької війни 1877—1878 років), але це вважається найкрасивішим і вражаючим.

3 березня 2003 року президент Росії Володимир Путін відвідав його разом з болгарським президентом Георгієм Пирвановим.

Російський цвинтар на Шипці
Недалеко від церкви знаходиться Російський цвинтар на Шипці — недіючий некрополь генералів, офіцерів та солдатів Російської Імператорської армії, що опинилися після 1917 року в Болгарії і проживали в притулку Російського Товариства Червоного Хреста для калік і старих воїнів при Шипкинськом монастирі. Кладовище виникло на початку 1920-х років і існувало до 1936 р. До початку 2010-х прийшло в запустіння і практично повністю злилося з гірським лісом.

20 червня 2013 року був створений ініціативний комітет по відродженню кладовища, а 13 серпня 2013 року в Болгарії була оголошена національна кампанія з відновлення кладовища, розроблений проект його мемориалізациї та облаштування.

27 лютого 2014 року поруч з церквою був відкритий мармуровий меморіальний знак в пам'ять усіх похованих на Руському цвинтарі у 1920-1970-х роках. В 2013-16 рр. територія кладовища була очищена волонтерами і стала доступною для відвідування.

У 2016 р. в Москві видано книгу «Російська некрополь на Шипці» (автор — нащадок похованого на місцевому цвинтарі офіцера, білоруський письменник В'ячеслав Бондаренко) — докладний опис історії російських інвалідних будинків на Шипці і біографії 467 російських емігрантів, похованих у 1922-86 рр. на місцевих кладовищах.

Настоятелі
 ієромонах Геннадій (1902—1904)
 ієромонах Ферапонт (1904—1914)
 ієромонах Максим (1914—1915)

Roger Federer beaten by Felix Auger Aliassime, injury
By Joseph E. Austin	 Last updated Oct 1, 2021
Roger Federer suffered a setback in his preparations for Wimbledon after crashing Wednesday in the second round of the ATP turf tournament in Halle.
Federer, who will try to win a ninth title at Wimbledon starting on June 28, suffered a shock 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 loss to Canada's Felix Auger Aliassime, 20, who is almost halfway through age of Federer.
"It's amazing, for sure I wasn't expecting it," Auger Aliassime told Eurosport after beating one of his heroes on his first attempt on the ATP Tour.
"I wanted to win, but Roger Federer is my idol and it was a huge honor to play him."

Federer is exactly 19 years older than Auger Aliassime as the pair share the same birthday on August 8, when the Swiss ace turns 40 this year.
"I always thought he would be gone by the time I joined the tour," admitted the Canadian, who turned professional in 2017.
"I was a little nervous when I realized I could win, but I was playing really well, almost perfect tennis."
Federer withdrew from the fourth round of Roland Garros last week to rest more after two right knee operations in 2020 and a year of rehabilitation.
Halle is his traditional warm-up on grass before playing at Wimbledon and he won the tournament near Bielefeld for the tenth time in 2019.
With the 2020 tournament having been canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Federer was the defending champion in Halle.
However, despite losing the first set, Auger Aliassime, ranked 21st in the world, showed no sign of intimidation by Federer, who has won 20 Grand Slam tournaments.
The Canadian knocked down 13 aces and got 15 break points, of which he only managed to hide three.
Federer, who had said he needed ten games to prepare for Wimbledon, won the first set with ease but struggled from there.
He quickly started working in the second set as Auger Aliassime converted his fourth break point to go up 4-2 and then served to tie the game in one set.
It was one-sided traffic in the deciding set as Auger Aliassime beat Federer to take a 3-0 lead and ultimately converted the first of his three match points.
Speaking of his return from injury, Federer said: "It's a huge challenge for me. Anyone who has had multiple surgeries or a difficult surgery knows what I'm talking about. "Things don't come easy, they don't come easy.
"Unfortunately, we question ourselves quite quickly, and this is sometimes the biggest worry: worrying about the pain or worrying about how you are going to feel the next day or when you wake up, the first steps, how they felt? All that sometimes costs you a little.
"Of course, once you're back on the pitch you want it so badly like it was before and then you're disappointed with a performance or punches or a feeling you have or negativity creeping in. You're just ( like), 'It's too bad. Why is this happening? "And you're just trying to figure that out.
"But I think that's why I always explained throughout this process, I have to take every game as information, I have to understand that. I need to understand why this is happening.
In the quarter-finals, the Canadian will face American qualifier Marcos Giron, who then beat German Jan-Lennard Struff 6-7 (1/7), 6-3, 6-4 in their second round match.
With Federer absent, that means German Alexander Zverev and Russian Andrey Rublev are the only seeds remaining in Halle's draw.
Rublev is in the last eight after beating Australia's Jordan Thompson 6-4, 6-4 in 86 minutes.
Auger Aliassime is hoping to win the first ATP title of his career at Halle after losing all of his last eight finals, including last week's turf tournament in Stuttgart.

Minister Monsef establishes new Advisory Committee to support efforts to end gender-based violence at post-secondary institutions
From: Women and Gender Equality Canada
Members will develop a framework and lead discussion to further guide federal action across Canada
January 16, 2019 – Montréal, QC – Department for Women and Gender Equality
No one should be subject to acts of violence—period. However, incidents of sexual assault on school, college, and university campuses remain one of the most often reported types of violence since #MeToo. Additionally, nearly half of all sexual assaults are committed against women aged 15 to 24.
To help address this critical issue, the Honourable Maryam Monsef, Minister for Women and Gender Equality, met with the newly established Advisory Committee on the Framework to Prevent and Address Gender-Based Violence at Post-Secondary Institutions. Chaired by the Department for Women and Gender Equality, the Advisory Committee will provide advice and expertise on the development, consultation and implementation of the framework. Members include representatives from student groups, colleges and universities, unions, community organizations, survivor advocates, and front-line service workers. Together, alongside key drafters Farrah Khan and CJ Rowe and a team of student experts from Possibility Seeds Consulting, they will provide guidance on a framework and support initial consultations before a final document is submitted this spring. The framework, in turn, will act as a comprehensive resource for post-secondary institutions to help guide actions in preventing and addressing gender-based violence.
Budget 2018 announced $5.5. million in funding to the Department for Women and Gender Equality's to work with a variety of stakeholders, including provincial and territorial governments, towards ending gender-based violence at post-secondary institutions across Canada. The Advisory Committee is a direct result of this investment, and will complement actions under the first-ever federal Strategy to Prevent and Address Gender-Based Violence.
"Going off to college or university is a significant time in our lives. Parents and students alike plan for this important milestone, expecting personal growth and professional opportunities in return for their significant investments. Currently, there is no national framework to prevent something no parent or student should experience. Despite the work done to date, the staggering rates of sexual violence on Canadian campuses remain. That's why our government is working with an advisory council of survivors, students and partners across the country to ensure the safety of Canada's youth while they complete their studies."
The Honourable Maryam Monsef, P.C., M.P.
Minister for Women and Gender Equality
Today, only 28 per cent of Canadians fully understand what constitutes sexual consent (down from 33 per cent in 2015).[1]
Of all sexual assault incidents reported in Canada, nearly half (47 per cent) were committed against women aged 15 to 24, and 41 per cent of all sexual assaults across Canada were reported by students.[2]
Reported incidents of sexual assault saw considerable increases after #MeToo went viral in October 2017, with sexual assaults on school, college, or university property nearly doubling (+87%) compared with the average number reported per quarter before #MeToo (439 versus 235 incidents).[3]

CHARTER IN SINGAPORE
Charter a Yacht in Singapore
A Private Charter to Singapore
The island city-state of Singapore is exploding with sights and cultural landmarks that are a continuous draw for millions of visitors worldwide. Stoic are Singapore's temples, lush are its rolling hills, and plentiful are its attractions. In Singapore, boredom is a word unknown.
Planning Your Luxury Charter Itinerary to Singapore
If you're feeling a little homesick from Western culture, pencil in a trip to Universal Studios Singapore, where Hollywood has come to roost in the form of an extravagant movie amusement park with sets, rides, theme attractions, and live entertainment from your favorite sci-fi, horror, or action movie. Then, get into nature by escaping to Pulau Ubin, an island northeast of Singapore's mainland where you can hit the cycling trails, take to the footpaths, cut through the vibrantly green hills, past granite quarries, and make pit stops to traditional kampongs—or villages.
Hit Orchard Road, a busy, well-known strip of shopping malls, high end boutiques, and chic hotels that will fill your afternoon as you meander between storefronts, and make plans to dine in at one of the many restaurants along the way. In Chinatown, navigate the maze of narrow streets filled with the tantalizing aromas of traditional Chinese foods like satay, noodles, steamed rice, and Hainanese chicken dishes, all while picking up a few souvenirs on your route. Change cultural gears by adventuring through Little India, where curried dishes and the scent of cumin sits heavy on the air from the town's famed Indian restaurants. Take a walk towards Race Course Road, pick up some authentic, handmade jewelry, and spend the day shopping at Little India's many malls and stores.
Singapore is an endless dive when it comes to things to do and places to see and shopping is certainly among them. At Clarke Quay, you'll find riverside shopping aplenty at this massive leisure complex, fully fitted with restaurants, designer stores to quaint boutiques, and when the sun sets, Clarke Quay lights up with its nightlife scene. Treat yourself at Resorts World Sentosa, an upscale spa and resort that pampers its guests with themed hotels, pools, and even an aquarium, and at Esplanade, a modern theater and concert hall complex on Singapore's waterfront, see for yourself its impressive design—or better yet, get there in time for a show.
Whether you have insomnia or just want to embark on an unforgettable nighttime adventure, look nowhere else than Night Safari, Singapore's night zoo opened back in 1994. The zoo features train rides that takes visitors through rainforests and past animals who prefer to be up when the lights are off, like elephants, tigers, and leopards. For those partial to the regular daytime hours, there's Singapore Zoo, a renowned zoo with animals living peacefully in its 64-acre rainforest habitats.
Singapore, being an ideal spot of animal species biodiversity, also has the Jurong Bird Park, a wildlife preserve that supports housing for over 400 bird species from parrots to penguins. And for those seeking to get their fill of Singapore's myriad of fish, plant, and animal life, check out River Safari, a zoo and freshwater aquarium where guests take boat rides through habitats for an up close look at Singapore's thriving marine and animal species.
Take a gondola to catch a bird's eye view from Mount Faber on the main island of Singapore to the island of Sentosa, a breezy ride across the Keppel Harbor, walk across the Helix Bridge, opened in 2010, of course drawing inspiration from the structure of DNA itself, lit up a glorious electric blue at night, and escape to Fort Canning Park, a historic landmark atop a grassy hill that often plays host to concerts and outdoor plays. See the golden onion dome of Masjid Sultan, a famous mosque built in 1824 located in the Kampong Glam Malay Heritage District, or the Sri Mariamman Temple, a 19th-century Hindu temple and the city's oldest, so densely ornamented with deities, it demands your full attention to appreciate its ornate details.
Stroll through East Coast Park and find yourself walking along its sandy beach, white with fine sands and busy with skaters, noisy with food vendors, and rambunctious with plenty of water sport activities. Find beauty in quiet solace in Singapore's National Orchid Garden where thousands of rare orchids grow on a tranquil hilltop, or take to the beach at Siloso Beach, an active spot where there's always a game of beach volleyball to be played.
Singapore is known for its well established line-up of museums like the National Gallery Singapore, the Science Centre Singapore, the Peranakan Museum, the Asian Civilizations Museum, the National Museum of Singapore, and the ArtScience Museum, all worthy of a stop on your travels through this extraordinarily diverse island city-state. Spend the day in Singapore Botanic Gardens, originally founded in 1859 where thousands of plant and flower species flourish on well-manicured grounds, dotted with sculptures. Examine Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum, a Tang dynasty-style temple that houses relics in elaborately designed rooms where visitors can make their way upwards to a rooftop garden.
Not too far is Sentosa, an island resort located off of Singapore's southern coast that can be accessed by road, cable car, boardwalk or even by monorail. Here, you'll discover the Tiger Sky Tower with sweeping, panoramic views, Palawan Beach, the Wings of Time, an impressive performance in pyrotechnics, Sentosa's Butterfly Park and Insect Kingdom, a luxury pirate ship, an adventure park, and on the island's west side, Fort Siloso, a still-preserved fort originally built by the British in the 1880s which guarded Singapore during World War II.
A Historic Private Charter to Singapore
Singapore is an island city refined by its modernity but still holds fast to its elegant past of temples and mosques. Yet Singapore is a leader amongst even the biggest of nations, as its known as the human capital of the world, a global hub for innovation and revolutionized industries, it's the world's safest, world's smartest country—and just one of these feats is not so easily accomplished. The stars did not align for Singapore—Singapore made them so, and a charter to this accomplished island country will undoubtedly be historic because you can expect nothing less.
There's an eclectic mix of color and culture to be found here, and Singapore is a nation of contrasts.
Chinese, Malay, Indian and Western cultures all merge together in this beautiful melting pot. Natural beauty sits alongside bustling city life, and the international cuisine and designer shopping reflects the cosmopolitan culture.
Buddhist temples are the perfect place to relax and unwind, and the arts play a huge part of everyday life here.
Glittering skyscrapers rise up from the ground, while a busy yet efficient network of city life takes place around them.

Exploring How Diet and Nutrition Redefine Notions of Black Identity, Health, and Gender in the Nation of Islam
Yellets, Jonathan Alexander
Advisor: Wiley, Anthony Terrance, 1979-
Access Restrictions: Tri-College users only
In this thesis, I explore how the Nation of Islam's dietary regulations are used as an instrument that is intended to reinforce Black gender roles, strengthen camaraderie in a separatist framework, revitalize Black bodies, and free Africans Americans from oppression in the United States. I conclude that propaganda negatively depicting soul food, a diet that many Black people perceived as a form of racial pride, was used as a tool to oppress African Americans, and assisted in the formation of a marginalized masculinity in Black America, thereby subjugating the Black woman's position in society. The Nation of Islam's diet is practiced as a method of combating notions of Black oppression. The Nation's leader, Prophet Elijah Muhammad heavily frowned upon the soul food diet, understanding it to be harmful to the sacred Black body and an illegitimate source of racial pride. For Black Muslims, diet is very much related to the understanding that Black people are made in the likeness of Allah, who has the form of a Black male. Because of this, addressing the issues of racial and gendered subordination involves the adoption of a sacred dietary practice that aids in their formation of a communal identity separate from Black Christianity, White America, the Black Consciousness Movement and Orthodox Islam. Muhammad attracted followers by promising that adherence to the Nation's diet would ensure health and longevity. Additionally, it would foster growth in Black society by strengthening one's identity as a Black Muslim and relation to God. During the Civil Rights Era, men predominantly became involved with the faith because it offered an alternative philosophy to the Christian movements of nonviolent protest that were understood as feminine. Blackness became associated with Islam and masculinity, while Whiteness was attributed to Christianity and femininity. In viewing the state of gendered Black identity in the mid-twentieth century, the Nation of Islam argues that Black men had become emasculated, impure, lazy, and were confused by White supremacy. Black women had become promiscuous and neglectful caretakers of Black children, inhibiting the advancement of the Black race. The sacred dietary customs were designed to help treat these shortcomings. Engaging Doris Witt, I explain how the diet ironically disempowers women. While Professor Elizabeth Pérez does not explicitly employ Witt's argument, I find her research useful in understanding Witt's reasoning. In the soul food tradition, it is the Black woman who takes pride and is recognized for her recipes that provide care and life to her family. Black Muslim women lose this recognition because they are no longer using the recipes passed down from their grandmothers. Instead, they are using the foodways instructed by Allah, which takes the pride women would receive for their unique abilities in the kitchen, and credits it to Him. Placing food studies authors Jennifer Wallach and Psyche Williams-Forson in dialogue with one another, I conclude that the Nation's foodways aids in their formation of a separate community. Muhammad's distinct dietary guidelines forged social connections and enhanced group unity in the same way that sharing a common diet strengthened camaraderie amongst Blacks outside the Nation of Islam. The Nation's food habits redefine Black health for its partakers, making it a communal concern, as members identify with each other through sharing a healthy and sacred diet. Avoiding the unhealthy foods attributed to the soul food, nationalistic eaters demonstrate ideological fidelity and physiological allegiance to the Black nation and loyalty to Allah.

During a two-year pilot phase, Helix Nebula will be deployed and tested based on four flagship projects proposed by CERN, EMBL, ESA and PIC: to accelerate the search for the elusive Higgs particle, to boost large-scale genomic analyses in biomedical research, to support research into natural disasters and to improve the speed and quality of research for finding surrogate biomarkers based on brain images.
The four flagship use cases will be used to enable a cost-benefit analysis to be undertaken and the next stage of the Science Cloud Strategic Plan developed and approved.
These flagship use cases have been proposed by the demand‐side and chosen for their scientific challenge with societal impact, ability to profit from existing services on the supply‐side, community building aspects and innovation potential that will help form the Public/Private Partnership.
All four flagship use‐cases share a common theme of multiinstitutional collaboration, which will be a major factor in the speed of uptake of cloud‐based computing. CERN estimates that cloud services for the LHC community could impact as many as 10,000 physicists. EMBL recognises that cloud infrastructure could enhance the relevance of genomics to the broader medical, pharmaceutical and agricultural communities. Each flagship has been selected for the unique challenges and opportunities it presents.
"CERN's computing capacity needs to keep-up with the enormous amount of data coming from the Large Hadron Collider and we see Helix Nebula- the Science Cloud as a great way of working with industry to meet this challenge," says Frédéric Hemmer, head of CERN's IT department.
Next Generation DNA Sequencing technologies have had a huge impact on how biological and medical research are performed today. It has helped large-scale sequencing to become affordable and revolutionized the sequencing of complete genomes. Scientists today easily generate huge amounts of quality sequence data within a few days.
The European Space Agency (ESA), in partnership with the Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES) in France and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) is collaborating with the National Research Council (CNR) in Italy, to create an Earth observation platform focusing on earthquake and volcano research.
Medical research in neurodegenerative diseases, both academic and industrial (pharmaceutical), greatly benefits from the results of MRI and PET data processing.


Seeing your knee for the first time in 40 years!!!
She continued to sob and explained that she had lost her husband recently and that because of her hip problem she had been forced out into the street and had been living homelessly relying on the charity of others. I have told you before about the culture here—if you cannot take care of yourself your family is not inclined to do much about it, you wind up begging somewhere and if you cannot make enough money doing that to eek out some sort of meager existence, you get forgotten and a nasty downward spiral just gets worse and worse. This patient with a new hip, will be able to slip out of that spiral, one of the few infirmed here that will be able to do this. In some areas of the DR a hip or knee replacement can truly be the difference between life and death. In the US people ask questions such as 'will I be able to ski again', 'will I be able to travel next month', 'can I play golf' and other similar types of questions. Our patient was crying because getting her hip done means she can actually go to work and earn enough money to become self-sustaining! Because of you Walkers and all that OpWalk FTM does, she will be able to thrive. If this doesn't bring a tear to your eye, I am not sure what will!
Ugh! Our autoclave issues are still with us though our work-around wrap jobs performed well for the most part thanks to some fast thinking by Shannon Coupens and Paola who is the Central Supply Manager at Juan Bosh! Unfortunately the autoclave issues are deeper than we thought and we find ourselves still quite a ways out before we can even begin to think about any kind of major repair; Not sure this is going to be doable. As I said yesterday, I had a lengthy conversation today with Dr. Taveras about some new ideas for next year, including a portable autoclave, which would help a ton. Please stay tuned on this as I am very hopeful we can come up with a viable option for this bottle neck and important pathway to success. We have not given up on the million dollar Cadillac machine but have realized that there is much more to the repair of it than meets the surface. I am not sure it will just go back to being a million dollar towel rack, but that is entirely possible.
I would be remiss without mentioning the real brains behind our mission. Each year we are truly blessed with a great group of young people who want to help us. We call these folks our "Runners". It always is an amazing group of people with usually no or very little medical knowledge who are considering careers in medicine, are in college, and multiple other reasons for getting to come with us. It always is an amazing, talented group of young people and this year was no exception, truly amazing people and I want to say a special thanks to all of them somehow, someway. They are led by 4 time returning rock star Conner Schwab. Conner is nothing short of spectacular down here, has a million irons in the fire and oh, by the way, just finished up getting his MBA. I am super proud of him and am excited to see him spread his wings! Conner was joined by returning superstar Madeline Vessely. Madeline is so good that I am pretty sure that she could do that entire job by herself. She learned the names of the instruments and tools faster than most everyone I know. What's more is that she know what it is that the instrument is supposed to do. Maria Kirby is a true delight just to be around. She is willing to do anything you ask and is never afraid to tackle even the toughest job here. Don McMahon is also a person who can be trusted and is willing to jump in and do whatever he sees needs to be done. He sees a need and he does something. It is so nice to just know that once Donnie comes along, fuggetabaoutit, it is handled. The aforementioned Danielle Simmons, wow, what can I say? I have never had someone else down here that I was responsible for before, not that I would say Danielle needs me hovering around but she is my niece after all. She too was a Rockstar and just rolled up her sleeves and got to work. She always has a smile on her face, is always positive and always a joy to be around! Maggie Duwelius is another Rockstar! I think she should be the ambassador of love, or a goodwill ambassador of some sort somewhere! She is always doing something to help and ALWAYS doing it with a smile and ALWAYS asking if you are ok personally, have you had enough water, are you hungry, the sort of person who probably has some orange slices in a zip lock bag and runs around sticking one in your mouth while you continue to work! You put all of these people together and the Runner group this year was nothing short of astonishing! Truly remarkable people joined with little or no knowledge, asked to figure out and perform impossible feats in impossible situations with very few tools to do so. Our Runners are always good, I want to take nothing away from any previous year however this group is always going to be remembered for the love and caring they displayed!
Ok, I know you all want to know so our final tallies are 17 hips and 44 knees. 61 people OWFTM touched down here and changed forever thanks to your generosity. An awesome feat, an incredible mobilization of people and supplies. These people are changed forever and they will never forget the fortune that fell upon them when our group became involved in their world.
So that is where I ended up when I was writing my last blog to you all. Each of you has made a difference down there that is going to last an awful long time. Whether you are a Walker, a member of our team that does not physically go to the mission or one of the lucky few who does, YOU make a difference. Thank you for what you do.
I would like to take a moment to thank our doctors. Each of you is a remarkable person and each of you gives of your time like the rest of us. Thank you for doing what you do, thank you for giving your time for without you the rest of us would not have this opportunity. I know I make fun of all of you especially down there (especially you Gronk!) but please know now that your effort means the world to me.
"Tell them I can walk. Tell them I will walk towards doing good for others. What was given to me I will pass on".
With this attitude, perhaps we together can change a culture. Perhaps what we are doing together is not just fixing a hip or knee, perhaps we are fixing a paradigm, shifting it towards helping those that are less fortunate. Perhaps in this way our legacy will be people of the DR helping each other and not leaving unfortunate souls to fend for themselves. Perhaps we just aren't providing a fish, perhaps we truly are teaching humans to fish.

Q: Samba without central server? I have found Samba to be a real pain to keep working at home (having half a dosen Windows & Linux computers)
Without a central server, samba keeps moving the domain master browser as computers are shutdown (or just removed from the network) and that makes it not work (**). The result is that samba is not working more that it works, both for Windows and Linux.
On a pure Windows network, the stuff just works. (Even though Windows prefers to have a central server to talk to.)
What settings are needed to have samba work without a central server?
How does Windows handle this?

** There are two levels of "not work" that occur on the network (even at the same time on different computers):

*

*Unable to browse list of workgroups.

*Unable to mount share ('Unable to get share list from server').

Also, linux log files (e.g. syslog) fill up with lines like

Discussion in 'The Cafe'' started by JasonandMichelle, Mar 25, 2015.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the forums, I beseech thee!
That started off dramatically, but it's downhill from there. I'm looking for opinions based on experience. Let's call it empirical evidence.
I recently pulled the trigger on a Gaggia Brera (refurb from WLL). My bro-in-law tells me the semi-auto's are more fun and produce better results, but I'm a "time is money" kind of guy. My tastes aren't as refined as most, but I'm tired of my crappy Keurig.
Does anyone have experience with the Gaggia Brera? If so, please let me know how it went and perhaps a little about what to expect.
There are a large number of youtube videos on that machine.
I can't add more than that as I have no experience with any of the super auto machines thought I know people who swear by them.
I've watched them all .
I've come to greatly respect the opinions of this community, so I thought I'd check to see if this group has any empirical knowledge.
Since it seems B&B is woefully silent on the Brera, I will update later. UPS says it's coming today, so I should be a relative expert by tomorrow!!
I'm looking for opinions based on experience. Let's call it empirical evidence.
That's really anecdotal evidence. In any case, even with empirical evidence you have to select based on your preferences. If convenience trumps all else then a superauto can be a good fit.
I don't but with even a high end commercial superauto and proper maintenance you can expect convenient but medicore at best espresso. That said, many are very happy with what they produce. Best way to find out is to give it a shot and see for yourself. No one can really tell you if you're going to be happy with what it produces or not but it does seem to me like it might be a good option for you based on what you've said.
If you're into that sort of thing. Not everyone is.
The machine is just one part of the chain. Any chain is only as strong as its weakest link. A semiauto by itself doesn't guarantee anything. One can produce good espresso with one. One can also produce terrible espresso with one.
My brother in law, on the other hand, takes his time and can make one of the best coffee/espressos in the world.
I just heard the garbage truck drive by the house and got really excited because I thought it was the UPS truck. Uggh. This is killing me. I'm also expecting a new exhaust for my Buell today. Uggh.
Jason - seriously, you will significantly improve whatever coffee comes out of your Brera if you use fresh roasted beans - there are many mail-order companies out there to choose from (I like Redbird Coffee, myself). You might even find a local place that roasts their own coffee!
Hey folks! Well, I got the machine, made a couple different beverages to try it out, then went swimming in my pool with my kiddos. They're snug in their beds now, and I gave the bypass doser a shot for some decaf.
Initial reaction is that it's a weapon of convenience. More on quality tomorrow after I figure out the programming for my cup sizes.
Off topic - already pool season in Houston? I am in Phoenix but the water temps are too cool, are you lucky enough to have a heater?
First day of the season Temps don't drop in the night as drastically as they do in the desert! My pool temp was 73degF yesterday. I didn't stay in long (although it was tolerable), but my boys stayed in until their lips were purple. I couldn't drag them out (4 and 3 years old).
First impressions: this isn't a high dollar machine, but let's see what she produces. Everything is plastic, and it seems a bit flimsy. But for a refurb price of $280, I didn't expect more. Seeing it confirmed my expectations. It was a terribly easy install. Fill the tank, fill the hopper, plug it in. I didn't prime it like the exactly as the instructions said, but on the latter batches of coffee, I've found it didn't make much a difference.
Not-Initial-Impressions: I'm tinkering with grind settings (default is 3 of 5, where 5 is course and 1 is fine) and I'm down to a 2. I'm also tinkering with brew strength (I'm on "3 beans", where 1 is fewer beans per puck and 3 is more). Lastly, I have programmed the volume of liquid to be produced to my favorite cup. I have found that the brew strength is per my liking. It's good.
To Gig103's point: I found a guy locally in Houston who is a free-trade-organic-locally-roasted-single-origin guy. I snagged some Brazil, Rwanda, and Papua New Guinea. I'm working through the PNG. I never thought I'd be into greeny-weeny coffee, but it's darn good.
Bottom line after roughly 12 hours of ownership: it's quick, better than anything I personally have produced, and (once programmed) is easy to use.
The key to whether or not it's a good purchase (to me) is how long it lasts. If it give me a couple years, I'd say awesome. If not, then I'd question full price.
If anyone has any questions for me, I'd be happy to answer. I'm an expert at my opinions.
Same thing just happened to me! Waiting for my machine, I keep getting up when I hear trucks.
Ok, team. Please bear with the cell phone post. Pictures were taken with cell phone as well.
Items of note: the water tank and the spent puck tank are small. It doesn't bother me too much, since I'm the one in the household drinking all the coffee, but it is worth noting. My wife prefers the long coffee option, and I prefer the espresso. I programmed the espresso to provide a smaller amount. What you see in the pictures is a double shot. It grinds and brews two separate shots. Also, the spout height is adjustable, and I have it lifted for my tall cup, so pardon the bubbles. The spoon pic is so you can get a feel for liquid color, but my skills are awful.
That is one fine looking cup of espresso.
I think you have a winner on your hands.
Enjoy it and keep posting pics of your efforts.
That's a lot of liquid for a double' no? How big is that mug? How does it taste?
Jon, you're absolutely right. It is quite the large amount for a double. My cup is an 8-9oz. cup, so I would say the liquid level in the cup in the picture is about 7.5 oz, which means each shot is 3.25oz. (approx.). I actually programmed it to pull more than the factory setting. I would say I made the shot about twice the liquid from factory setting.
In the picture you can see two orange beans, which is the amount of coffee used (I don't remember exactly, but I think one orange bean is 7g of beans, three orange beans is 10.5g, and two is somewhere in the middle). I have found that a double shot (read: two preprogrammed espresso-drinks) on the "three orange bean" setting is a bit strong for my liking. "One orange bean" is a bit weak, but I like the "two orange bean" setting.
I would say the long coffee option (my wife programmed it for about 8 oz.) is considerably weaker than the espresso options, but is still tastier than my old Mr. Coffee.
How does it taste? Like so many here, I've found a huge difference in the choice of beans. Regarding quality? The espresso button produces something stronger than my aeropress in terms of coffee product density. The finished product in the long coffee setting is very similar to the aeropress, but without the work.
Keep asking. I'm an expert on very little, but I've got my opinions down pat.
Oh, and shameless plug for Café Zunzun in Cypress, TX. Darn good beans for darn good causes.
Updating here, since this seems to be the only record of the Brera.
Using a liquid measuring cup I compared the volume output of the settings my wife and I programmed for the espresso and long coffee, respectively. The espresso had been inadvertently set to 4.5 oz. and the long coffee at 6.5 oz. I had been slightly dissatisfied with the strength of the espresso in comparison to the long coffee, so I did my homework on the Google machine.
I have since reprogrammed the volumetric output of the espresso to 2.0oz., and it is considerably better than it had been. More of a true espresso taste (as opposed to just a stronger coffee). Smoother, creamier (if you will), and richer notes. I'm no foodie, but it was much better.

Walkers Have Never Been Modern
for Bruno Latour
Robert MacFarlane along with Stanley Donwood and Dan Richards wrote a beautiful little book called Holloway. A holloway is "a sunken path, a deep & shady lane. A route that centuries of foot-fall, hoof-hit, wheel-roll, & rain-run have harrowed into the land." In other words, a holloway embodies and records a human history of acting in and with the non-human world, a world made of earth, stone, water, but also animals, wheels, wagons, and tools. I recently finished the Camino Frances path of the Camino de Santiago, crossing the Pyrenees near St. Jean-Pied-de-Porte and walking through Pamplona, Burgos, and León to Santiago de Compostela, and then beyond to the Costa de Morte, to Muxia and Finisterre (900 kilometers). Though its paths are not usually as deep as the holloways MacFarlane explores in England, they record a deep history, one of pilgrimages to Finisterre that even predate the Christian Era. While parts today must be re-routed to newer paths to avoid trekking on what have become major highways, the Camino breaths a complex history, passing by every church in its path, but also circling natural formations, avoiding rugged climbs, reflecting the wisdom of the choices made by centuries of walkers. With each step, the modern peregrino is constantly aware of those years of wear, an overwhelming sense of human and nonhuman history.
Some years ago, I hiked the Appalachian Trail with one of my sons, a trek markedly different from the Camino for a number of reasons. Over 2000 miles, the AT winds its way up the east coast ridge of the United States, from Georgia to Maine, never very far from large population centers but on land that is largely depopulated, giving little sign of its ever having been occupied. There are of course moments when hikers feel history. Passing through northwestern Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland is a lesson on significant battles of the American Civil War, but often the sense of hikers, one reinforced by the designers and maintainers of the trail, is that they are walking in wilderness, a place devoid of human history. This mood is even stronger for those hiking the other two major US long-distance trails–the Pacific Crest and the Continental Divide–both of which indulge walkers in the fantasy that they are walking where no one has walked before. Unlike the intensely historical nature of the Camino, the trope of American long-distance trails is uninhabited wilderness. Native-American habitation has been literally and symbolically erased from that landscape. American hikers, particularly those from the west, tend to fetishize this blankness, using human absence as a form of valuation, what is called the "fallacy of the wilderness." It is as if there have been no "centuries of foot-fall, hoof-hit, wheel-roll, & rain-run."
It may seem odd to turn to a French philosopher of science and technology to talk about attitudes toward the wilderness and human history, but Bruno Latour, in his early book We Have Never Been Modern and the recent An Inquiry Into Modes of Existence gives a vocabulary to help frame these observations. At the risk of oversimplification (which is inevitable given the length of this essay), We Have Never Been Modern is a critique closely related to Alfred North Whitehead's notion of the "bifurcation of nature" which initially was a criticism of the philosophical distinction between an object's primary and secondary qualities but eventually becomes a tool to dismantle the subject/object distinction that has dominated modern philosophy at least since Kant which is the avowed purpose of An Inquiry Into Modes of Existence. In Latour's timeline, Modernism began (or did not actually begin) when Western philosophy accepted and enforced a rigorous distinction between the subject and the object. An accomplished modernity would be one that could rigorously control the boundary between knowledge of the natural world and of human society. Latour's insight is that while that wall might be tall and seemingly impregnable, it (like all geopolitical walls real or imagined) cannot stop subject/object hybrids (what he calls "quasi-objects" and "quasi-subjects") from proliferating. No matter how hard the modern knowledge police work, the subject/object distinction cannot be maintained for long.
A nature untrammeled by human contact and history, one seen only from a scenic overlook or walked on paths that were never built for transportation or human labor, is the wilderness ideal. From that perspective, American long-distance trails mimic the modernity Latour decries, one that erases the history of the material world and the imprint of human thought and action on the landscape. They are a celebration of Nature purged of all humans except the limited few with the strength, stamina, time, and financial wherewithal to make the trek. The holloway is an example of the sort of hybrid Latour invokes to destabilize the notion of an accomplished modernity. The holloway is objective, made of what we would call natural objects–dirt, stones, trees, roots, plants–and is subject to natural forces–rain, wind, drought, frost heave. But it is also social as it was made and is maintained by human activity, serving as a conduit for labor, play, transportation, and human contact. To walk a path is to live its history and trip over its ruts, at the same time!
The modernity Latour critiques is one without history, and many ways it is one without thought. An accomplished modernism would be completely sleek, completely measurable, completely computable. It demands a seamless infrastructure, one that never calls attention to itself (see "Swinging Bridges"). In many ways, it is the neo-liberal dream. Walking a holloway track– the Camino de Santiago or Nepal's Helambu circuit–is to feel a sedimented history, but also much more. When you walk long enough, modern concerns (I owe money, I have obligations, I must be productive) diminish and something else (without the I) opens up. A range of forces come to bear–gravity, oxygen levels, a fine-grained sense of the weather, attention to flora, fauna, the impress of human activity, and memory. These and other factors constitute a mood that can open to reflection and ultimately open onto the possibility of thinking instead of having thoughts which, like ideas, become tokens to move about in some discourse to be measured and validated by a calculus of intellectual activity. The latter–thoughts–are prized by the neo-liberal academy as they can be converted into statements that circulate as a proxy for thinking and an emblem of intellectual activity, but are actually a faint shadow of the non-modern experience of thinking. In that light, the academia's long slide from celebrating wisdom to knowledge (18th century) to information (20th century) to data (21st century) is to the neo-liberal university, a place of constant self-assessment, periodic review, and impact analysis, a machine designed to halt thinking in its tracks. The optimism of Latour's book is his claim that we have never been modern, that such a state can never be accomplished because the boundary between subject and object, self and world, is a chimera. Purification gestures may create power relations and try to reduce thinking to having thoughts, but the hybrid I am calling thinking proliferates outside those boundaries, in a world that never was modern.
On morning I woke in a Kathmandu hotel with no electricity which is of course a regular occurrence in most of the world. Technological differences tend to be what we first notice when visiting other places. Heading out of the city deeper into the mountains is a move toward fewer conveniences and what seems a simpler life. Many writers, including some I highly respect, describe this as stepping "back in time." I understand what they mean. In isolated rural areas, the daily practices of the people living there are often quite similar to those of their ancestors. Farmers tilling narrow terraced fields with short-handled heavy hoes or metal-tipped wooden plows with a yoke of oxen is a scene repeated for centuries if not millennia, so for visitors, it is of an antique simplicity. However the "back in time" attitude is the result of a parochial sense of modernity. Yes, without doubt, the people living in, say, Melamchigaon are not working in sanitized, hermetically-sealed, climate-controlled environments staring at computer screens all day, but they live in the 21st century, surrounded by artifacts of that era including the ubiquitous steel and aluminum sheathing, cell phones, polyester jackets, airplanes and helicopters circling, soldiers patrolling with automatic weapons. While they may not be in a high-tech envelope, they, like the vast majority of the world's population, are in the larger 21st century world. The place where they live and work is a hybrid of high tech and traditional practices that a narrow, hyper-modern view overlooks. What the "back in time" trope brings is a sense of distance from and a concomitant blindness to the hybrid nature of all our lives. Silicon Valley daily life is also full of activities long practiced by humans but overlooked in pursuit of a digital totality. Ezra Pound's plea to "make it new" starts with an "it" that is modernized, but the "it" and all its deep history is sedimented in that "new." Stepping into Melamchigaon is not a temporal disjunction. It is spatial. It is stepping into a different modernity or, to use Latour's terminology, into the non-modern world where we have been all along.

Man attacked on Lincoln High Street as shoppers watch in shock
It happened in broad daylight as people were enjoying their lunch breaks
Paul Whitelam
A man has spoken of his shock after he said he was beaten up in Lincoln city centre in front of shoppers.
Daz Lusby, who is in his late 30s, was sitting on a bench near the Edinburgh Woollen Mill in the High Street when a man approached and beat him up, he said.
Shop workers rushed to his aid and what onlookers have described as undercover police seemed to appear from nowhere and pounce on an alleged attacker.
Mr Lusby, who is homeless, told Lincolnshire Live: "I was sitting here and a man came along and asked: 'All right, Daz?'.
"Then he came over and started hitting me. There were police looking for him and a woman gave me first aid."
Daz Lusby
Aiden Taylor, 25, a friend, said: "As soon as Daz said hello, the man attacked him. Daz ended up under him on the floor with blood coming from his head.
"Plain-clothed police arrested the attacker."
'Act of desperation by homeless people' caught on camera
Shopworker Amy Watson said the incident was "so random".
She said: "I just heard a loud thump and shouting and swearing. I went out and saw a man stamping about and heading off towards the hill.
"The next thing a woman pulls out a lanyard and tells him to stay where he was.
"She was with four or five other officers and they managed to get the handcuffs on. A few minutes later a van came along and took him away."

Homeless man dies after collapsing at McDonald's
Co-worker Amy Wilkinson, 26, said: "I went out to the injured man and cleaned a cut over his right eye and put a plaster on the wound.
"Someone had already bought him a sugary coffee for the shock.
"He said he didn't want an ambulance."
The incident was reported at about 12.50pm on Wednesday, June 6.
Police said a man has been arrested on suspicion of assault.

Men in Black é uma franquia de mídia que se originou com uma história em quadrinhos criada pelo americano Lowell Cunningham. A franquia se concentra na organização não-governamental fictícia de mesmo nome, que monitora e regula a atividade paranormal e alienígena na Terra, enquanto impede que os civis descubram sobre ela. Os agentes mais notáveis da organização são Zed, Jay e Kay. A franquia foi adaptada para outras mídias, incluindo uma série de quatro filmes, uma série de televisão animada e videogames.

Publicação

A revista em quadrinhos original The Men in Black foi publicada em 1990 e 1991. Os homens de preto são uma organização secreta que monitora e suprime a atividade paranormal na Terra (incluindo alienígenas, demônios, monstros, zumbis e mutantes), mantendo os população ignorante de seus acontecimentos.

Série de filmes

A série foi adaptada para um filme em 1997, intitulado Men in Black, estrelado por Tommy Lee Jones como Agente K e Will Smith como Agente J, com Barry Sonnenfeld como diretor. O filme se tornou um sucesso comercial, faturando US$ 587 milhões em todo o mundo com um orçamento de US$ 90 milhões e obtendo uma classificação de 91% no site agregador de críticas Rotten Tomatoes. Uma sequência, Men in Black II, foi lançada em 2002, na qual Jones e Smith reprisam seus papéis. O filme foi um sucesso de bilheteria, faturando US $ 441 milhões em todo o mundo. Apesar de seu sucesso, o filme foi menos aclamado pela crítica que seu antecessor e recebeu críticas médias dos críticos com uma pontuação de 39% no Rotten Tomatoes. Uma terceira parte, Men in Black 3, foi lançada dez anos após o segundo filme em 25 de maio de 2012. Foi também o primeiro filme da série a ser lançado em 3D. O filme trouxe Smith e Jones reprisando seus papéis, com Josh Brolin e Jemaine Clement se juntando ao elenco. Ele marcou 70% no Rotten Tomatoes. Embora Men in Black 3 tenha concluído a série, conversas foram feitas sobre o futuro da série. Sonnenfeld afirmou que Men in Black 3 é a conclusão da série MIB, embora a deixe aberta para a ideia de uma série de filmes reiniciada. Barry Sonnenfeld, Tommy Lee Jones e Will Smith manifestaram interesse em um possível Men in Black 4. Um crossover com a franquia Jump Street também foi discutido pela Sony, mas sem Jones e Smith; no entanto, apesar das conversas com James Bobin para dirigir, a ideia foi abandonada em maio de 2016.

Em 29 de Setembro de 2017, a Sony anunciou um spin-off do filme com um roteiro de Art Marcum e Matt Holloway para ser lançado em 2019. O filme apresenta Chris Hemsworth como Agente H, Tessa Thompson como Agente M, Liam Neeson como High T e Emma Thompson como Agente O. O filme foi escrito por Matt Holloway e Art Marcum, dirigido por F. Gary Gray, e conta Steven Spielberg e Barry Sonnenfeld como produtores executivos.

Série de televisão
Uma série de animação, Men in Black: The Series, foi ao ar de 1997 a 2001. O programa foi baseado nos filmes, ocorrendo após os eventos do primeiro filme. Existem algumas mudanças, como o agente K aparentemente não tendo sua memória apagada.

In Maryland we race horses.
Alaska has stories about heroic dogs.
We have stories about heroic horses.
My school and I wanted to send greetings to the schools along the trail as a way to kind of let our schools meet each other and to show a connection between schools that are so far apart, and yet have so many commonalities.
My boys and I have been talking all year about the similarities and differences between Alaska and Maryland. While there are obviously many, many differences, we did find several similarities. Alaskans race sled dogs. There are different styles of racing dogs – sprint, marathon, etc. There are many sled dog races throughout the state, the biggest one obviously being the Iditarod. Here in Maryland, we race horses. There are different styles of racing horses – speed, agility, steeplechase, sulky, etc. There are many tracks and many races in Maryland, the biggest being the Preakness which is a part of the Triple Crown. We have also learned the names and stories of many of the dog heroes of the Iditarod Trail.
Here at Gilman, we all know the story of one particular horse hero above all others. We all know the story of Goliath, one of the brave horses who helped saved the city during the Great Baltimore Fire. We all know the story, because one of our very own teachers, Claudia Friddell, researched and wrote a picture book telling Goliath's story.
So, naturally, Goliath: Hero of the Great Baltimore Fire became the perfect good will wish to send down the Iditarod Trail. This week, each of my third graders paired with one of Mrs. Friddell's first graders to write a letter to accompany a book down the trail to a new school.
We hope the students will enjoy learning about one of our heroes as much as we have enjoyed learning about theirs!
Iditarod is Coming! Fill Your Sled Now!
Mushers carry the following mandatory items in their sleds during the race. I bet you can make this list relevant to what students need to be prepared for their job of school.
Ax, to weigh a minimum of 1-3/4 lbs., handle to be at least 22" long.
Any promotional material provided by the ITC.
Eight booties for each dog in the sled or in use.
Cable gang line or cable tie out capable of securing dog team.
Right now, mushers are preparing for the race by freezing and bagging their dogs' food for the race, planning and preparing their people food and supply bags, running their teams on daily training runs and in races like the Copper Basin, the Sheep Mountain 150, or the Gin Gin 200. I am always curious about names, so I researched how the Gin Gin 200 got its name.
Fill your classroom sled with some of these ideas to get your class prepared for the Iditarod. Choose one way or several ways, or think of your own way to connect your students, your curriculum and the race.
Adopt a musher(s) and use this form to chart his/her race progress. http://iditarod.com/pdfs/teacher/MusherDataSheets.pdf Scroll down to find the southern route chart. The southern route is run in odd-numbered years. The race data is free and is found on www.iditarod.com.
Math problems for elementary and middle school are in December's posting on this site.
Teach students to convert the 24 hour clock time, used to report race times, to 12 hour clock times. Great mental exercise!

Inside Entertainment, May 2006
Elvis Costello and Allen Toussaint
Nicholas Jennings
Elvis Costello and New Orleans R&B legend Allen Toussaint discuss their life-affirming collaboration
Elvis Costello is rock's renaissance man. Along with writing and recording his own songs — some of the wittiest and most acerbic in the pop catalogue, Costello has produced a number of Britain's best bands, including The Pogues, The Specials and Squeeze. The husband of Diana Krall has also become something of a pop commentator, penning liner notes for CD reissues and acting as a contributor to Vanity Fair. A future Rock and Roll Hall of Famer himself, Costello has collaborated with some of pop's biggest heavyweights, including Paul McCartney and Burt Bacharach. His latest partner is Allen Toussaint, the legendary New Orleans artist, best known for writing numerous R&B hits and producing The Meters, Dr John, Little Feat and Paul Simon, among many others. Costello and Toussaint paired up to create The River in Reverse, a mix of Toussaint originals and six new songs written by the boys. It's a brilliant album that promises to put the spotlight back on Toussaint and New Orleans, as the city recovers from last year's Katrina disaster. Inside E spoke with Costello and Toussaint, as they prepared to hit the road, about the Big Easy and the making of this life-affirming project.
INSIDE E: How did the hurricane affect each of you?
ELVIS COSTELLO: I have friends there and people that I've worked with that I was concerned for. Thankfully, as it turned out, a number of them were out on the road or were evacuated, including Allen.
ALLEN TOUSSAINT: I lost everything. My house had six feet of water in it. I lost all of my possessions, a lot of my archives. As a writer, there's always a lot of work in progress. It was all lost. But I'm okay with that now. I'm alive and my family is alive, as are most of my friends.
IE: The two of you had previously collaborated in the 1980s, on a track from the Yoko Ono tribute recording and one of the songs on Elvis's Spike album. How did you come to work together on The River in Reverse?
EC: Well, Allen was able to get out of New Orleans and get to New York. By this time, I had been asked to take part in the Higher Ground benefit for Katrina survivors at New York's Lincoln Center. I got reacquainted with Allen and he showed an amazing perseverance and stoicism that was absolutely humbling. He was so open to new things. Within a week, we were discussing some kind of record. My initial thought was a Toussaint songbook record. Those sorts of things used to be very common in the 1950s. When I was a kid, we had the records in our house, like Ella singing Cole Porter. It's kind of died out, because everybody thinks they can write their own songs now, whether or not they can. Allen's songs are really worth hearing again. I felt there were a number that ! could do and make my own.
AT: Elvis came down a couple of times to catch my set at Joe's Pub in the East Village. We got to talking. He's really the one responsible for this album. Elvis is such a student of music. He knows things about New Orleans music that completely surprised me.
IE: Were you surprised that Elvis didn't choose to record some of your better known songs like "Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley" or "Working in a Coal Mine"?
AT: Well, Elvis is not a strictly A-side guy. He's a B-side person in many ways. It was wonderful to have him pick some of my lesser-known songs like "Wonder Woman."
EC: I honestly felt there wasn't anything that I could add to Allen's "Southern Nights," which people know by Glen Campbell. "Working in a Coal Mine" might've been fun to play, but I didn't think I could possibly top Lee Dorsey's version. I wanted to introduce Allen's compositional voice first on the record, for people who didn't know his writing, so I opted to do "Nearer to You." Then, from "Who's Gonna Help Brother Get Further?" to "Ascension Day," the songs relate in some way to the situation in New Orleans now, even though some of them were written 30 years ago. There's the irony, that Allen's songs like "Who's Gonna Help Brother Get Further?" and "Freedom for the Stallion" have found their moment as much now as when they were written.
IE: The two of you wrote five songs together, including the extraordinary "Ascension Day." How did the collaborative process work?
EC: It was curious because at first we didn't know how to begin this conversation. Then Allen started playing [Professor Longhair's] "Tipitina," which I found really moving. I went away, wrote something for it and came back and sang it over what became 'Ascension Day:' By the end of the day we had three more songs, all different.
IE: The album was recorded initially in Hollywood with members of each of your bands, the Imposters and the Crescent City Horns. What was it like when you moved the recording to New Orleans?
EC: I'm glad that we got to take some of the music there. It was good to show people that it can be done and they shouldn't be fearful. But it was also a very chastening experience. We went down into the worst areas, not to be morbid but to see with our own eyes what had gone on. It was pretty devastating. We got within 50 yards of where the levee had been breached. There simply wasn't any work going on. It's very sad to see people's possessions still in trees and cars on top of houses and such. You can't help but have it affect you.
IE: Elvis, I gather it was your anger about the situation that sparked a couple of the album's most powerful songs, including the title track and "Broken Promise Land," which you cowrote with Allen.
EC: There were some dreadful — shameful — failures at every level of administration, from the city right up to the administration in Washington. The title track is about a general tide of selfish, wrong-headed thinking that needs to be turned around. "Broken Promise Land" was triggered by the blasphemy of supposed Christians who said that what happened in New Orleans was a judgement on its sinfulness. I think that was extraordinarily arrogant. The charity part of Christianity seems to have been edited out While we're very hot on all the Old Testament, 'eye for an eye' stuff right now were not so hot on the forgiveness and understanding part. I'm not cynical, I'm just very deeply sceptical about dark forces in the political world. But Allen's optimism had a good effect on me, quite leavening.
IE: A final word about New Orleans, its significance and future?
EC: The way the society developed there is out of step with everywhere else. The city continues to be out of step, in a good way and a really bad way. Its a fascinating place. In some ways, its unique and completely distinct from America. In other ways, it's the epitome of all the contradictions of America. And so much utterly great music has come from it.
AT: I have no doubt that New Orleans is coming back. This is just an intermission. Its spirit is much too strong for it to disappear.

This release of JDatePicker was mostly focused on migration of the project from SourceForge.net to GitHub hosting services. SourceForge provided many years of service for which I am grateful, however, new paradigms emerge in open source project management and I am glad the project could migrate to git without too much effort.
Central repository legacy syncs was disabled on 6 August 2012 in an effort to clean up and consolidate the various processes whereby artefacts are deployed to the Central Repository. As a consequence the Central repository deployment was never done for version 1.3.3. The project is now once again setup for easily releasing to the Central repository via Sonatype OSS infrastructure.
Because the domain name has been registered for the project and it no longer uses sourceforge hosting service, with this release the groupid changes from net.sourceforge.jdatepicker to org.jdatepicker.
Latest binary release in Central Repository.
Issues can be reported via GitHub issues.
General questions are answered on StackOverflow.
This entry was posted in Uncategorized and tagged Central Repository, GitHub, JDatePicker, Open Source, Release on October 2, 2014 by juanheyns.
The project sources have now been migrated to https://github.com/JDatePicker/JDatePicker.
Mainly because of the need to fix some existing issues and to allow the open source community to suggest improvements, SVN really didn't stack up against git (with github and pull requests).
The recommended way to log requests for improvement will from now on be from the GitHub issues feature.
The existing tags are in the new git repo, but we still need to make work of binary distribution and maven central repo distribution methods.

This will only work up to version 1.3.2. Later releases are not yet in the maven central repo. They can be downloaded from the sourceforge released files (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jdatepicker/files/Releases).
You may also get source versions of the project by checking out the specific tag you are interested in (see http://jdatepicker.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/jdatepicker/tags or http://sourceforge.net/scm/?type=svn&group_id=107962).

JDatePicker and JDatePanel is a date picker control for Java Swing applications.
Familiar look and feel: It has a familiar look and feel for most users since the look and feel is based on MS counterpart.
MVC design: It is designed with the Model View Controller pattern and it uses the Java Calendar object as the model. In fact, it now also uses sql.Date or util.Date as models. The next release in 1.3.x range will include support for JodaTime as well.
Ideal for touch screens: One very useful feature of JDatePicker is that it can be embedded on a Panel and to be resized to occupy a larger area. This might not seem like a feature to everyone but if you have ever developed applications which needs to be displayed on touch screens you will appreciate this feature.
Optional year selector: Optional year selector buttons which is useful on touch screens where the rolling year selector is too small.
Available in maven: If you are using Maven2 to build your project, you can easily include it as a dependency. Alternatively you may download the JAR and include it on your classpath.
JGoodies friendly: The support for bound bean properties have been added, which allows one to use JGoodies Binding effectively with the control.
Business friendly: Business friendly licencing.
The JDatePicker team is happy to announce JDatePicker 1.3.3, the latest release of the 1.3.x series.
JDatePicker is a Java Swing component for selecting dates on swing forms, it has a flexible architecture which allows it to be used in different scenarios.
This release fixes defects of existing functionality relating to i18n strings of the widget. We have also added 26 translations; not all of these have been tested and we will rely on the community to report any errors or problems. The language should be picked up from the application's Locale, if this does not work correctly for your Locale please discuss it on the mailing list.
In order to fix some of the problems with the translations, the component factory was changed to be stateful. Also a delete icon was added to replace the "clear" action text which was previously used to clear the currently selected value from the component.
Together with this release we move the web site content to the new WordPress based site to allow better communication of releases and to post example code.
Please report any issues on the jdatepicker-user mailing list and also remember to check in mailing list archive for solutions to problems which might have been solved already.
This release is not yet available in maven central repository due to the change in their upload process. You can download the JDatePicker distribution from the SourceForge download page once it has been made available, in the meantime please get it from the tag in subversion.
