Botox is usually just thought to paralyze the muscles where it is injected but, new research is showing that it is doing much more than that. Dr. James Bonaparte, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon and an assistant professor at the University of Ottawa in Canada recently found that people who use botox have an increase in the elasticity of their skin. This elasticity seems to be coming from an increase in elastin and collagen, which are normal parts of the skin. Collagen and elastin are important components of our skin that keep our skin strong and give it elasticity.
Normally when we age, the production of collagen and elastin tends to decrease and repeated facial expressions can cause wrinkles. While botox has been known to smooth out wrinkles for some, time this recent finding that botox increases elasticity was unexpected. The increase in elasticity was discovered in a study involving 48 women with an average age of 55 years old. These women received botox between the eyebrows and around the eyes and were followed for 4 months. Dr. Bonaparte found that the stretchiness and elastic recoil was increased by the botox and that the women's faces mimicked more youthful skin. He also found that the increase in elasticity was not a byproduct of inflammation or swelling caused by the botox shots which was previously thought to be the cause.
Unfortunately the effect is temporary and lasts as long as the effectiveness of the botox which is about 3-4 months. While the way this works is unknown, Dr. Bonaparte believes that the cells that create elastin and collagen might have a receptor for botox. If this is true it means that there might be a potential for a future drug that can help the elasticity of skin as we age. Some other theories are that botox might be an antioxidant which could help neutralize the waste products of the muscles and allows the skin to heal or that inactivity of the muscles caused by botox allows collagen and elastin to be repaired.
The next steps of this research will be to see if repeated use of botox can have long-term benefits on the collagen and elastin in the face. Prior studies have shown that long time users of botox need less botox and this might be explained by a prolonged increase in collagen and elastin.


More fantastic statues from Bagheria's Villa Palagonia. I love the one at the top of the arch. He looks like he's dancing the tarantella! (Photo Credit: Experience Sicily's Filippo Buttitta).
On Friday, April 1 at 7:30PM, in Teaneck, NJ, USA at Classic Quiche Cafe, my music ensemble Villa Palagonia will be sharing a Sicily-inspired evening of music with composer and musician John T. La Barbera. Please join us! We'll be playing some tarantellas! For more information about the show, please visit Villa-Palagonia.com.
More than fantastic – also phantasmagorical! Wow, look at those scary faces. Like Tolkien walked back in time and brought with him the Fellowship of the Rings and all that scary characters! Wonderful!
Phantasmagorical! What a word! Love it. Yes, imagine in 1780 going to this place and seeing these crazy images? We're sort of used to this kind of weirdness, but at that time, no way. It was shocking!


If we only knew who we are, our lives would have not any sense.
It was the nature of free spirit, convict of large and lucid dreams, that united every beach in Portugal and invented this project. Among us, it is known by Playocean.
We are Portuguese and, hence, from the World.
There is in us the will to go for the impossible as the discovery of the illusion of all beaches's horizon, or of Oceans in any other Worlds, even with more illusions than this one.
Rotating inside each and every one of us, whirl forces of madness to the rhythm of days, bringing the consciousness that Mankind does not close nor prohibits itself. Grows. lives. Is!
Like a force which spins and casts out from itself the weight of atavistic and depleted values, keeps in the interior the fundamental energy to the creative impetus of Playocean.
It's necessary to purge and teach the spirit to conquer the maximum purpose of its existence: to be free!
May the ceilings and walls of our offices be the sky, the sand and the salty sea water on our bodies.


Contractors often understandably assume that the end of a contractual warranty period marks the end of their potential liability on a project. Unfortunately, while a warranty can effectively limit obligations to make certain repairs, liability for defective construction does not end with the warranty. Instead, the duration of risk is primarily determined by two types of laws: statutes of limitations, and statutes of repose.
Statutes of limitations are laws that determine how long a party has to file a lawsuit. They provide certainty regarding potential liability for a particular act or event (in other words, a party knows they can't be sued for something that happened after a specific period of time). The law prescribes different limitations periods for different types of claims. These periods can run anywhere from two months to twenty years. Lawsuits brought after an applicable statute of limitations has expired are subject to a dismissal in court.
Most claims arising out of construction projects in the Carolinas carry a three-year statue of limitations. This applies to claims involving payment disputes, breaches of contract/warranty, or construction defects. The three-year clock does not necessarily begin to run upon the completion of a project. Instead, the limitations period starts once the claimant knows or should know they have a claim (a concept known as the "discovery rule").
In the construction context, the discovery rule usually comes into play when latent or hidden defects arise after project completion. For example, improper soil compaction may not affect a building's foundation for months or even years after warranty expiration. In the meantime, the owner has no way of knowing about a potential problem until foundation cracks appear.
Because of this, the law allows an owner to bring a defect claim for contractor negligence even if the warranty period has ended. But, the owner must assert its claim within three years after it knows or should know about the problem. The owner does not need to know the cause of the problem for the clock to start — only the fact that a problem exists.
Note that the discovery rule won't allow potential claims to exist into perpetuity. Both North and South Carolina have what are known as a statutes of repose, which close the door on all potential claims on a project after a certain period of time. Statutes of repose can bar claims regardless of when a potential defect is discovered. The South Carolina statute of repose sets this period at eight years (S.C. Code Ann. 15-3-640). In North Carolina, the period is six years (N.C. Gen. Stat. 1-50(a)(5)). Unlike statutes of limitations, these time periods begin upon a project's substantial completion.
Since the discovery rule keeps contractors exposed to liability until the statute of repose has expired, contractors should be mindful of those projects for which they still have risk. Adequate CGL coverage for completed operations is critical so long as there is potential liability. Owners must also be mindful of the cutoff imposed by applicable limitations statutes, and should act quickly if a possible defect is discovered.

PR Idea of the Week
Egads! Before I become a complete Mommy blogger (not that there's anything wrong with that), I thought I would get back to the third element of this blog and share an interesting PR campaign.
The marketing/PR/social media team at Discovery Channel has hit a home run in promoting Shark Week--by "killing off" most of the nation's TV bloggers. Put down your logo folder and back away from your USB drive PR people, because the press kit for Shark Week includes mangled surf shorts and a customized obituary for each recipient.
Here's a photo that's been shared on multiple blogs with the contents of the kit received by James Hibberd, blogger for The Hollywood Reporter.
There are several good blogs deconstructing this campaign but by far the best quote--and best takeaway from this press kit--is from Hibberd's blog.
"I love it, I think it's great," says one PR executive at an unrelated company about the Discovery campaign. "And the reason I love it is because you're writing about it."
It DOESN'T MATTER that the headline of Hibberd's story is "Creepiest network marketing effort ever?"
Peter Ha from CrunchGear, who also suffered a tragic shark-attack death at the hands of Discovery, similarly photographed and documented his experience with this press kit. And Sling went as far as to offer their free suggestions for other shows who might be looking for edgy press kit concepts. (I know it's a cliche but I literally LOL at the one for Hoda and Kathy Lee.)
A few years ago (a few months ago?) if you asked journalists at a media panel what they think about getting clever PR stuff in the mail, they would mostly say that they don't like it and you should just email them a solid story idea. BUT the definition of journalist has changed as well as the opportunities to go viral by appealing to vanity (Pepsi told recipients of their campaign they were among the top bloggers in the nation), and the fact that people are looking for cool stuff to post online.
You have to think that there had to be naysayers at Discovery who thought that the obituaries were tacky or that the bloody shorts were too scary, or that they shouldn't be promoting shark attacks since they are so rare and it undoes years of science education--all good points.
But if their goal was to get blog hits and people talking blogging and tweeting about Shark Week--then they were a big success.

Guide to buy a property in Spain!
What was yesterday a DREAM now became a REALITY!
Once you have chosen the property and want to enjoy it in full, you have to know the process of buying the property and what hidden traps and pitfalls could be on your way.
Who is the owner of the property.
Whether it is free of any debts. In Spain, the debt can be linked to a property and not to the owner. When the property is sold the debt follows the property.
The boundaries of the land.
The total square meters of the property and land.
To avoid unpleasant surprises we strongly recommend to get this document before making any advance payment.
It also can happen that even though you signed a preliminary agreement with the seller, the property was sold to another buyer. In this case the property will belong to a person who will register it first at the Property Registry. A person who did not register it first at the Property Registry, but have a purchase agreement can request indemnification fr4om the seller and has a right to have double amount of the deposit that he paid.
It also can happen that the new property is delivered with changes or with some defects. The description of the property and architectural plan is the value of your contract. If you make changes it should be reflected in your contract. If the property has defects that were made by the developer he is obliged to correct them and repair.
Our architect can help you to determine the value of the defects and determine the costs to fix it.
It is recommended to sign a preliminary agreement, especially if you need to apply for mortgage. A preliminary agreement is a simple contract where buyer expresses his intention to buy a property and the seller agrees to sell the property under the certain conditions and at agreed price. At that time the deposit is usually paid by the buyer and in case the buyer rescinds the contract he losses the deposit and if the seller rescinds the contract he has to pay back to the buyer double amount.
The notary should certify the transfer of the property. The owner and the buyer sign the contract at the notary and the deed of purchase is ready.
The deed of purchase should be registered at the Property Register, this protects the ownership rights to the property.
I.V.A. (Value added tax) – 10% from the cost of the real estate, 21% otherwise.
A.J.D. (Stamp duty) – the stamp tax (impuesto de actos juridicos documentados). The stamp tax varies depending on the región – between 0.75% and 1.5% from the cost of the real estate.
Registro (Registration of the sale and purchase contract in the Property Register)and Notario (Notarial charges) – the cost depends on the real estate amount, the number of pages and the number of buyers.
I.T.P. (Tax on transfer of property) – 6-10% from the cost of real estate, depending on the region of Spain.
For the seller: a local tax plusvalia should be paid. The amount of tax is calculated based on the number of years the property was held, and on the property's valor catastral. The procedure is different for each city, the notary office should provide the information about this payment.
The seller should also pay the Capital Gain Tax – tax will be payable on the difference between the original purchase price and the sale price.
If you're planning to buy a property in Spain, you may be considering financing part of your purchase with a Spanish mortgage. Spain has a well-developed mortgage market, with various lenders offering a range of options for different types of Spanish mortgages.
We will search the banks in Spain and find the best rates for you. We will discuss your specific requirements, explain the costs and process, and tell you exactly what you will be able to borrow and how to proceed with an application.
In the process of buying the property in Spain, the mortgage takes the most time. Bank can pre-approve you if you can provide all the documents that the bank is asking for. If you have a pre-approval from the bank there is no risk of making any downpayment. To understand the value of the property the bank will hire the appraiser (tasador). The buyer should pay for this service, usually between 300-500 euros. The bank will give you a certain percentage of the appraised value of the property.
NIE Número del Identificación del Extranjero. To buy a property in Spain you need to have a NIE number, it's a fiscal identification number of the foreigner. The NIE number is a tax identification number in Spain, known in Spanish as the NIE, or more formally the Número de Identidad de Extranjero. Spanish Royal Decree 2393/2004 states that an NIE is required for the purchase or sale of property in Spain, for vehicles and boats; or in order to work or study. People living in Spain, or those who intend to spend a good deal of time in Spain, will need an NIE number. The NIE number is issued by the National Police of Spain, and we can arrange for an NIE to be issued for you. If you are buying a property as a couple, both partners will require a NIE in their names.
Spanish Bank Account. All utilities (wáter, gas, electricity) have to be paid directly from the Spanish bank account.

Aravive was founded with the mission to develop novel therapeutics to improve the health and extend the lives of patients with cancer and fibrotic diseases.
Our science is driven by an understanding of the central role played by GAS6/AXL signaling in cell migration and invasion. Our drug candidates are designed to block this pathway by intercepting the binding of AXL to its sole ligand, GAS6, by means of a novel ultra-high affinity AXL decoy receptor, AVB-500.
Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer
Our first clinical focus is recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer is relatively uncommon, representing an estimated 1.3 percent of new cancer cases diagnosed each year. Unfortunately, most patients with ovarian cancer are diagnosed with advanced-stage disease, when metastasis has already occurred.
Although clinical complete remissions are often achieved through a combination of surgery and chemotherapy, relapse and drug resistance are common. Thus, there is considerable need for new therapies for the treatment of ovarian cancer in this relapsed, second-line setting.
Aravive Clinical Trials
Aravive is currently conducting clinical investigations of its lead compound, AVB-500, in combination with standard anticancer treatments, in the setting of recurrent, platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. For more information on our clinical trials, please visit the study page at www.clinicaltrials.gov.
Patient & Caregiver Resources
Cancer is a difficult diagnosis for patients and their families. Below are some resources that may be useful for those seeking information about ovarian and other cancers and help in navigating the emotional and other issues affecting patients and caregivers dealing with a cancer diagnosis.
Committed to raising awareness of ovarian cancer in communities across the country and to providing education, support and hope for women with ovarian cancer and for their families.
The Clearity Foundation
Helping women with ovarian cancer understand their treatment options, determine what is best for their particular disease and providing online support.
CancerCare
Providing free, professional support services and information to help people manage the emotional, practical and financial challenges of cancer.
Cancer.net
Doctor-approved patient information from American Society of Clinical Oncology.

Often when I look at a situation, I see certain things that can be easily improved or fixed, especially with the use of common technology. When Ms. Russell approached Noah Goldstein and myself with the need for a "virtual callboard" (which is a place where meeting times and other announcements are posted) we took it upon ourselves to make one for ourselves. Having scoured the internet for software that met our specific needs we decided to use a solution called Google Apps. To make a long story short, we were able to customize it so that the cast and crew of Metamorphosis are able to share documents among themselves, make announcements to the whole group, and when Ms. Russell makes changes to the calendar, they are visible immediately. This streamlines the entire process and reduces the confusion level among company members considerably.
When we're at school and doing this kind of stuff it's one thing, but being in another country with someone else's equipment is another thing. In effect, two versions of this play have to be made: One that is made to perform in the JCHS theater, and another that is made to perform with less props, less scenery, and can be adapted to fit onto whatever stage we are assigned at the festival. Although this may not seem like that monumental of a task, it essentially means that we have to re-choreograph the entire show, I have to re-think the lighting for the entire show, which makes things challenging from both the acting and tech sides. However, there is no doubt in my mind that this company of extremely talented people can handle it.
I should probably talk about what we're doing in tech right now. Basically, we are experimenting with various cool tricks and techniques including using what's called a scrim, various projections, and other things of that nature. Once we have a completed script, then we can start working on lighting design and sound design and building the sets. So that's where we are right now and I hope you all are planning on coming to see the show!

Q: Switch between two enum classes at run time in Java I have two enum classes:
public enum dog{
    Sound("barks"),
    Eat("meat"),
    Drink("water");
    private String attribute;
    private dog (String attribute){
        this.attribute = attribute; }

    public String returnAttribute(){
        return attribute;}
}

And
public enum cat{
    Sound("meows"),
    Eat("fish"),
    Drink("milk");
    private String attribute;
    private cat (String attribute){
        this.attribute = attribute; }

    public String returnAttribute(){
        return attribute;}
}

I would like to switch between the two enums dynamically at runtime as if it's an object(i know it isn't). So I would assign an enum "holder" for dog or cat according to a "condition" then get the attribute value i.e. enumholder.Sound.returnAttribute;
if dog it will return "barks" if cat it return "meows". Is it possible?

A: The short answer is no. See, Java enum inheritance
Instead of using enums use classes and inheritance. To do what you are looking for you will need three classes, Animal, Cat, and Dog.
class Animal {
     public String getSound() {
         return "Animal sound";
     }
     // Other mehtods...
}
class Cat extends Animal {
     @Override
     public String getSound() {
         return "Meow";
     }
     // Other mehtods...
}
class Dog extends Animal {
     @Override
     public String getSound() {
         return "Bark";
     }
     // Other mehtods...
}

You could use these classes to get the functionality that you want.
public class Main {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          Animal a = new Cat();
          System.out.println(a.getSound());
          a = new Dog();
          System.out.println(a.getSound());
     }
}

A: You seem to just be looking for normal objects. Why do you need enums?
class AnimalType {
    String sound, eat, drink;
}

// in some method somewhere
AnimalType cat = new AnimalType();
cat.sound = "meows";
cat.eat = "fish";
cat.drink = "milk";

AnimalType dog = new AnimalType();
dog.sound = "barks";
dog.eat = "meat";
dog.drink = "water";

// then use either cat or dog

A: It looks to me as though you should be modelling this as an interface that your enums inherit - the methods become what you are currently modelling as members. Something like:
interface Animal {
    String getFood();
    int getNumberOfLegs();
}

enum Dog implements Animal {
    POODLE,
    GOLDEN_RETRIEVER;

    public String getFood() {
        return "dog food";
    }

    public int getNumberOfLegs() {
        return 4;
    }
}

enum Bird implements Animal {
    CANARY("seed"),
    EAGLE("meat");

    private final String food;

    Bird(String food) {
        this.food = food;
    }

    public String getFood() {
        return food;
    }

    public int getNumberOfLegs() {
        return 2;
    }
}

You can then assign a dog or cat to an Animal variable and it will behave correctly:
Animal animal;
animal = Bird.CANARY;
assertEquals("seed", animal.getFood());
animal = Dog.POODLE;
assertEquals(4, animal.getNumberOfLegs());

This has all the advantages of enum (fixed set of instances with the JVM working out when to construct them) while also being able to treat different sets of animals differently.

A: If you want to use enum, you should do something like this instead:
public enum AnimalTraits {
    DOG(/*sound*/"barks",
        /*eat  */"meat",
        /*drink*/"water"),
    CAT(/*sound*/"meows",
        /*eat  */"fish",
        /*drink*/"milk");

    private final String sound;
    private final String eat;
    private final String drink;

    private AnimalTraits(String sound, String eat, String drink) {
        this.sound = sound;
        this.eat = eat;
        this.drink = drink;
    }
    public String getSound() {
        return this.sound;
    }
    public String getEat() {
        return this.eat;
    }
    public String getDrink() {
        return this.drink;
    }
}

Solovecki otoci (ruski: Солове́цкие острова́, pomorijski: Соловки́, karelijski: Solokka, saamijski: Suollek) je najveće otočje u Bijelom moru, na ulazu u Onješki zaljev nasuprot Bjelomorsko-baltičkom kanalu. Nalaze se 64 km od Arhangelska i upravno pripadaju ruskoj Arhangelskoj oblasti.

Solovecko otočje, zajedno s polumjerom od 5 kilometara Bijelog mora oko njih, zaštićeno je rusko područje pod imenom "Solovecki povijesno-arhitektonski i prirodni muzejski rezervat". To se osobito odnosi na otok Solovki na kojemu se nalazi Soloveckij manastir iz 15. stoljeća, ali i druge otoke na kojima su crkve od 16. do 19. stoljeća. Zbog toga su Solovecki otoci 1992. godine upisani na UNESCO-ov popis mjesta svjetske baštine u Europi.

Zemljopisne odlike

Otočje čini više od 100 malenih otoka, od kojih su najvećih šest:
 Solovki (Veliki Solovecki) - 246 km ²
 Anzerski ili Anzer - 47 km ²
 Velika Muksalma - 17 km ²
 Mala Muksalma - 0,57 km ²
 Valiki Zajacki - 1,25 km ²
 Mali Zajacki - 1,02 km ²

Obala otočja je veoma razvedena i sačinjena od granitnih stijena i gnajsa. Reljef je brdovit (najviša točka otoka je visoka 107 metara) i dijelom močvaran, a na otoku Veliki Solovki tu su i brojna jezera koje su monasi spojili mrežom kanala. Otoci su većinom prekriveni borovima i jelama.

Povijest

Solovecki otoci su bili naseljeni još u mezolitu (oko 5. tisuljeća prije Krista), kada su klimatski uvjeti ovog područja bili mnogo povoljniji nego danas. Najnaseljeniji su bili u 3. tisućljeću pr. Kr. kada su izgrađena sela, svetišta i sustav navodnjavanja na otocima Anzeru i Velikom Zajackom. Na otoku Veliki Zajacki nalazi se 18 megalitskih spomenika u obliku kamenih labirinta koji su tipični za sjevernu Europu, a ovdje su ponajbolje sačuvani; te više od 600 grobnih gromila i nekoliko megalitskih krugova i poravnjanja. Na Anzeru tu su samo 4 labirinta i 38 gromila, izgrađenih paralelno s morskom obalom.

Solovecki manastir su osnovali trojica monaha iz manastira Kirilo-Belozersk i Valaamskog manastira 1430-ih. S vremenom se proširo na sve otoke otočja, pa čak i nekoliko građevina na kopnu. God. 1478. pripao je Novgorodskoj kneževini i naposljetku Moskovskoj kneževini. Veliku gospodarsku reorganizaciju sproveo je opat Filip Količev polovicom 16. stoljeća. Ona je uključivala izgradnju putova, mljekare i povezivanje nekoliko jezera kanalima kako bi se osigurala slatka voda, ali i početak industrije opeka i keramike. On je zaslužan i za izgradnju nekih od najvažnijih vjerskih građevina na otocima. Kamena utvrda je izgrađena od 1582. – 94. godine, nakon čega su Solovecki otoci postali gospodarsko, vjersko, vojno i kulturno središte cijele oblasti.

Iako je rabljen i kao zatvor za državne kriminalce, manastir je privlačio mnoge hodočasnike. Manastir se pobunio protiv crkvenih reformi patrijarha Nikona, te ga je opsjedala ruska vojska od 1668. – 76. godine. Nakon toga je manastir nastavio prosperirati i mnoge drvene građevine su zamijenjene kamenima. Solovecka utvrda je odbila mnoge napade tijekom Livonijskog rata (1558. – 83.), Borbe za rusku krunu (17. st.), Krimskog rata (19. st.) i Ruskog građanskog rata (20. st.). God. 1714., izgradnjom vojne utvrde na uću rijeke Dvine, Solovjecka utvrda je izgubila vojnu ulogu i postala je zatvorom.

Obrtništvo se prilagodilo drugim djelatnostima, kao što je ikonoslikarstvo, drvodjeljstvo, drvorezbarstvo i litografija, a manastiri na manjim otocima su postali trgovačka mjesta za trgovinu s ruskim gradovima, zbog čega se osuvremenila luka i izgrađena su mnoga skladišta. Manastir Makajev je postao botaničkim vrtom koji je opskrbljivao ruske gradove voćem iz staklenika.

Napredak manastira je naglo obustavljen Oktobarskom revolucijom kada je manastir ukinut i uspostavljena je Državna farma Solovki. Farma je ipak ukinuta 1923. godine kada su otoci postali logorom za političke i druge zatvorenike. Od 1939. do 1957. otoci su rabljeni i za pomorske vojne vježbe.

God. 19667. otvoren je muzej otoka, a 1990. obnovljen je manastir i vraćen ruskoj crkvi.

Znamenitosti

Najvažnija znamenitost Manastira Solovecki je na otoku Veliki Solovecki. Sastoji se od tri dijela, središnji trg s kompleksom monumentalnih građevina, te južno u sjeverno dvorište posvećena domaćinskim aktivnostima i obrtima.

Q: leaderboard showing random category I'm having a weird issue with sandbox leaderboards on game center. I have two leaderboards with two seperate ID's aka categories. For some reason my first leaderboard button shows the correct leaderboard everytime but the second leaderboard button randomly picks between the two leaderboards. I'm sure my leaderboard categories are the correct name. I use leaderboardCategory and category to make sure ios5 and ios6 are handled correctly. It's almost as if i open one leaderboard than close it and open another quickly it doesn't load the correct leaderboard. Also when this issue happens the leaderboard title says "leaderboard"
PS. does anyone know if its possible to have a GKLeaderBoardViewController that brings your to the leaderboard menu that shows all leaderboards as apposed to a specific leaderboard?
Thanks all.
EXAMPLE:
GKLeaderboardViewController *leaderboardController = [[GKLeaderboardViewController alloc] init];
if (leaderboardController != NULL)
{
    leaderboardController.leaderboardCategory = @"Bounce_2";
    leaderboardController.category = @"Bounce_2";
    leaderboardController.timeScope = GKLeaderboardTimeScopeAllTime;
    leaderboardController.leaderboardDelegate = self;
    [self presentModalViewController: leaderboardController animated: YES];
}

A: According to Erik Asmussen who reported the bug to Apple (id: 14206005), it has been fixed in iOS 7 (11A4400f).
The bug occurs when you use a leaderboards group, so you may want not to use one for now.


Probate disputes can arise for a number of different reasons after someone passes away. Even when that person believes they have done their due diligence to put together a comprehensive estate plan that helps to avoid probate, certain matters may still emerge and require the assistance of a knowledgeable estate administration or probate dispute attorney. Some of the most common situations require the insight of a lawyer because they can be extremely complex and difficult to resolve.
Q: What to do if I suspect that the estate executor is engaged in fraud or embezzlement?
The estate executor plays an important role in distributing the assets of an individual person's estate. However, if that same person violates their fiduciary duty to manage the money properly and is engaged in fraud or embezzlement, you may need to request that they be removed from the case altogether. Consulting with an experienced estate administration lawyer is strongly recommended.
Q: What if I don't believe the assets have been distributed properly?
An estate executor and administrator maintains an important responsibility to review all of the relevant information inside the estate and ensure that it passes to the beneficiaries as the decedent intended. If assets have been distributed improperly due to fraud or undue influence by one of the other beneficiaries forcing the executor to behave in a certain way, this could form grounds for a legal dispute.
Q: Can I file a legal dispute if I suspect that the executor or administrator's legal rights and responsibilities have been compromised?
If there is a conflict of interest or you believe illegal activity has happened, thus compromising the responsibilities of the executor or administrator, you need to gather your evidence and prepare to share it with an experienced estate administration dispute attorney.
Q: If there are disputes over who should serve as the executor or estate administrator, what should we do?
Since the probate process can be extremely complex and indeed the overall management of an estate represents unique challenges, it is important to realize that retaining legal representation as soon as possible after a dispute emerges over who should serve as the executor or estate administrator happens. In an ideal situation, the decedent will have prepared the appropriate legal documentation articulating who will step into this role. But if this cannot be guaranteed, you need to prepare for a potential legal battle.
Q: What do we do if we want the administrator removed?
You have two primary opportunities to remove someone as the executor of a will if they have failed to execute their fiduciary responsibilities. This is through a probate petition by the beneficiaries or a lawsuit by the beneficiaries. The person who initiates either action must have some financial stake in the estate. The court will hold a hearing if the beneficiaries file a probate petition. The executor however, will get an opportunity to tell their side of the story.
If an executor fails to perform fiduciary duties and this leads to damages for the beneficiaries, they may be eligible to pursue a lawsuit. This is one of the most common reasons that executors are required to post bond prior to assuming office unless the will terms specifically waive this requirement. This is in essence an insurance policy that pays damages against the executor in the event that the beneficiaries have to file a lawsuit because of failure to execute fiduciary duty. This could lead to a civil fiduciary duty breach lawsuit in NY.
Q: Do we have to pursue a lawsuit if we want to remove the executor?
Certain grievances against an estate executor may be resolved without going to court. The executor may agree to compensate the harmed beneficiaries for any financial damage suffered due to the executor's fiduciary mismanagement. It is still strongly recommended that you have a legal representative to help you. A NY fiduciary duty dispute lawyer can help.

BLUE STAR PRESCHOOL
Who are the teachers of Bluestar Preschool Learning Center?
Ms. Hannah Elkins started with me at my home and has continues to work for Bluestar at the center since September of 2011. Hannah has a two-year associates degree in early childhood education from Keystone College. She is reliable and has a fun, easy going spirit that is enjoyable for interacting with children. Hannah opens the building most mornings and works with all our groups to keep them happy and busy. Hannah continues to add to our curriculum and daily lesson planning. Her longtime dedication to both me and the program, helps to make this a family friendly environment.
Ms. Jennifer Doty and Ms. Jessica Doty have worked at Bluestar for the past two years. We have been blessed with two exceptional teachers. They both have a Child Development Associate certificate and over 15 years of daycare experience. Jessica and Jennifer enjoy working with the potty-training toddlers between the ages of 1 and 3 years. They are constantly making the children laugh and have a special way of creating enthusiasm through play and learning. While Jennifer is group supervisor for the Star pod group and keeps the backroom activity area managed, Jessica is the front room manager and assistant director to Ms. Sandie. They both work four long days each week often here till closing, cleaning up and preparing for the next day. They are dedicated to the Bluestar Preschool program, children and parents. Ms. Jessica and Ms. Jennifer give much of their personal time and thought with new monthly activity themes that really get the children at Bluestar Preschool excited.
Ms. Linda Brozusky has a big heart, which she loves directing towards children. Linda works full time with Mondays off supervising the infants in the star baby room. With 12 years of daycare experience including two of them at Bluestar, and being a grandmother, Linda's nurturing personality is a wonderful blessing to any infant's day. She creates lasting bonds, giving both the infants and their parents a sense of security. Linda provides daily activities of music, books and toys, and the much-appreciated care needed for all the babies.
Ms. Stacey Powers has a Bachelor degree in Psychology and Elementary education. Also, a wonderful mom with two boys, she started working at Bluestar just in the mornings, so that she has family time after school. Stacey gave up teaching 14 years ago to be a full-time mom, parent volunteer at the school and class mom for many years. Stacey now is dedicating three full days at Bluestar Preschool with baby-stars, go-go stars and star-pod groups. For the past two years, Stacey has shown great instincts and concerns in the meeting of the needs of children and has stepped forward to making Bluestar Preschool a great program.
Ms. Dakota Moore now has been at Bluestar for over a year. She is a full time employee here at Bluestar. Her 9 years of previous experience and knowledge has quickly promoted her to becoming a leader in the program. Dakota has taken two years of early childhood classes in elementary and special education at Mansfield University. She loves both animals and children especially her 2-year-old son. Dakota is planning lessons and inspiring activities for our go-go stars, older preschool and after school kids. To further her education, Dakota has chosen to enroll in the Child Development Associates program.

Since Sarah's arrival at Bluestar preschool, she has shown leadership and dedication. Sarah has made her self readily available to help out in all situations improving the quality and care of the program. Sarah has a wonderfully sweet temperament but a firm understanding of safety and behaviors. She primarily is working with and doing daily lessons for our pre-stars preschoolers and the star rider after school program. Sarah spends her time off from Misericordia here at Bluestar during the school year and then full time in the summer, providing some exciting and challenging activities for the older children.
Ms. Katie Becker started this past September and has been a constant inspiration to the older star-pods. Katie's daughter came to Bluestar a few years ago needing special attention. It was always a pleasure to have Ms. Katie and her husband come to our special events, where they read stories and interacted with all the children. It was quite clear that Katie has the patience, kindness and sense of humor needed to work with young children. Its wonderful to listen to Katie as she reads, plays with, help potty train and educates her group. We only get Katie in the mornings but hope that in the future this may increase.
Ms. Dayah Whitaker travels from Dallas to extend her experience of childcare to the Bluestar program. She grew up in a foster home where her new mom was an in-home daycare provider. She became familiar at an early age with the needs and care of children of all ages.

She has already worked with the star-pod group, and the pre-star group, and now has requested to work with the go-go-stars.
Ms. Mara Barnes has been an exceptional addition to Bluestar teaching staff. Her son recently started the star-riders after school and they were new to the area.

Miriam is pleasant, nurturing and organized, and shares many of her ideas to help benefit the program.
Ms. Debbie Moore is the grandmother of two of Bluestar's kids. She has just started with us, and is active in learning how we care for children here at Bluestar.

the winter lights in portland's urban jungle
Portland has much to offer in terms of culture, regardless of the time of year you choose to visit. With the moniker of Hipster Capital of the West Coast, there is a great deal of creative buzz around the largest city in Oregon, and it's no wonder artists and designers have created a great community hub. From musicians and graphic artists to fashion designers and craft beer makers, the city is a melting pot for visionaries — where else could you expect to find a fire breathing dragon?
This February, Portland was home to the fourth annual PDX Winter Lights Festival, and people from all over the state flocked to see the inventive creations. The festival's footprint is getting bigger every year and 2019 showcased over 100 artists, performers, and installations across the city. With several artists supporting the show for the second time — including Portland-based Jen Fuller, who revealed a formation of luminous paper planes made from glass suspended under the noisy, rusty, Willamette Bridge, choosing to contrast the beauty and delicate sculptures in an industrial surrounding reflects the transparency of the environment and is a comment on how precious things are. While other artists showcased past works from the Burning Man festival, site-specific installations, dynamic live performances, and works from private collectors, with many new artists showcasing ingenious project led designs for the first time.
Planning for all weather eventualities, the array of projections on show had to withstand the coldest spell and the freezing temperatures for the four-day, free event. Working with the Willamette Light Brigade, this year's event was larger than ever, and its footprint spread across the whole city, taking in some of the cool neighbourhoods, which willingly adopted the animated art.
The whole experience was meticulously produced, so as to take visitors on a magical journey through a psychedelic light show. Where, like Alice in Wonderland, they can marvel at the 'Ice Clock' where prisms of light dance endlessly — getting mesmerised whilst losing sense of time. Or, get transported to Northern Ireland with the women-only design studio Electric Boogaloo, who created a sculpture which took inspiration from The Giant's Causeway. Other interpretations were portrayed in the oversized LOVE sign, 'Reflecting on Love', by Roman Sorensen, which took pride of place on the Green Anchors pier at 23 feet tall and 37 feet wide, which he hoped will "spread a smile amongst spectators."
All showing a different perspective on standard light shows, the designs are ingenious and daring visions have come to life to create a collective kaleidoscope of colour across the city skyline. With plenty of activity taking place on the banks of the Willamette River, visitors were able to follow the walkway and soak up fire-breathing dragons, watch emotional film footage and dance underneath the giant, lit up, mirrored disco ball.
Crossing over the Hawthorne Bridge on the Eastbank Esplanade, the crowds could enjoy even more interactive experiments and experiences. And when it got too chilly, you could warm up with indoor experiments at the OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry), where the bright lights — quite literally — lured you in. Further afield, the Portland State University (PSU) was home to beautiful hanging Japanese inspired inflatable lanterns, by Inflatabill, where the designer used his background in parachuting to make stunning silhouettes in the sky. And 'Ephemeral Allegory of Structure,' by Hasmood, took over the Edwardian Simon Benson House, turning it into a magical otherworld with exhilarating and mesmerising projections.
With the theme of this year's festival, 'Forward', each display took a unique and personal approach and every design connected to the issue in a different way — ranging from underwater prisms to voice-activated lights, audiovisual displays.
From the larger than life structure, 'Warm Embrace', designed by Garth Britzman and Kelsey Loontje — welcoming visitors inside a build based on a traditional American Indian tipi with a futuristic feel and offered respite from the icy wind — to the shadow art at the Shadow Sail Theatre — which used paper lace, costumes, prisms and lenses, so the audience could participate in their own immersive show — and 'Thirty Circles,' by Axis Mundi, a kaleidoscope of colours and mirrors which immersed all six senses. Stretching boundaries of visual and mental stability, the result was a seemingly endless combination of colours and patterns, which if you stared at long enough might test your eye coordination!
With different free events taking place over the four nights, and the event running completely by volunteers, expect the unexpected and wow at the power of technology. The party vibe went on until late and showcased unexpected visuals, stories around the fire and the hysterical Silent Disco, with glowing headphones and optional fire sticks. Even the children joined in with a children's lantern parade, which demonstrated this versatile medium in all its forms.
This community event represents Portland and its diverse community. From the 25' tall glitter ball covered in mirrors to the free Crystal Dolphin Shuttle ferry between OMSI and back to Salmon Springs, where you could be part of the light art on the boat. Embracing the festival, the ferry had its own spectacular lights on show, so not only were passengers part of the living art on board, they got to see Portland's impressive skyline from the water, including the lit up Morrison Bridge, the twin glass towers of the Oregon Convention Centre and OSMI.
The Portland Winter Lights Festival transforms any preconceived idea of art and is well worth a visit on the crisp February night to spark your curiosity. I can't wait for next year.

Q: Strip all the default classes in Wordpress navigation and replace with custom classes Im having problems using the wp_nav_menu() function to get a defined menu and remove the ul and li default classes and replace with entirely custom classes. How can this be achieved?

A: I hope you're fine. If you look at the source of wp_nav_menu, you see the list of arguments that it accepts:
$defaults = array(
    'menu'            => '',
    'container'       => 'div',
    'container_class' => '',
    'container_id'    => '',
    'menu_class'      => 'menu',
    'menu_id'         => '',
    'echo'            => true,
    'fallback_cb'     => 'wp_page_menu',
    'before'          => '',
    'after'           => '',
    'link_before'     => '',
    'link_after'      => '',
    'items_wrap'      => '
%3$s
',
    'item_spacing'    => 'preserve',
    'depth'           => 0,
    'walker'          => '',
    'theme_location'  => '',
);

Given the explanation you provided, i think 'items_wrap' will solve your problem.

If you aren't careful, a holiday shopping spree can result in a lot of debt — and the shine of the holiday season really wears off when you're still dealing with credit card bills and interest payments come spring. So how can you have a great holiday, but skip the debt? We have five tips to keep this year's holiday celebrations from turning into a big financial burden.
Take a careful look at your finances and your holiday plans to make a budget that includes gifts, holiday parties and meals, decorations, and any travel expenses. It doesn't have to be a budget that eschews all credit card spending — but you should decide how much you're going to spend and figure out how you'll pay it off before you start making purchases. Having a plan to start with will help keep you from getting into more debt than you can handle.
2. Make a gift list.
Now that you know how much you have to spend on gifts, it's time to make a list of everyone you need to get a gift for and break down how much you can spend on each. This will give you a good guideline for gift planning — and help you stick to the budget you already established. Keeping this list with you, either on your phone or as a printout, will help you remember just what your spending limits are so you can stay inside them.
3. Don't be afraid to spend less.
No matter what the holiday commercials tell you, gift-giving isn't a competition and you don't have to buy the most expensive gift to prove you care. A less expensive gift that suits a person's taste or a homemade item that has a lot of thought behind it will be appreciated as much as any pricey holiday purchase. Remember your budget and don't let ads or salespeople talk you into overspending!
4. Be sure to comparison shop.
Before you buy anything, you should always take the time to do some comparison shopping. Is the item you're looking at cheaper at another store? Is there a different brand that offers the same or similar product for less? Is there a promotion, sale, coupon, or price matching offer you could use to get the item for less, at this store or another? A little bit of research can go a long way towards saving some cash. If you're shopping in-store, smartphone apps are a great resource to let you quickly and easily price check items on the go.
5. Beware of (over)buying for yourself.
Treating yourself isn't a bad thing, but don't let it bust your budget. Holiday sales are designed to be tempting, but don't fall into the trap of buying two of everything — one for you, and one to give away. Shopping like that is sure to send your holiday bills out of control — so avoid the temptation!
So long as you take the time to carefully plan your spending in advance, the holidays don't have to send you into months of credit card debt. So take some advice from Santa this season: make a list and check it twice before you head off to do your holiday shopping.


This Chapter, Solstice Shadows, will be puplished at the end of 2016. Although I have already been shairing this information. So here is a meme guided sneak peak at The Solstice Shadow EPiPHiNY, the true nativity scene in the heavens.
These are the stars of the Winter Solstice alignment.
EPiPHiNY's symbols form the shape of a mushroom which is also a visual representation of the Winter Solstice Star Alignment. There are five EPiPHiNY symbols which make five intersections along the center virticle line. One for each of the five stars of the Winter Solstice.
Variations of depictions of the Ank (Egyptian symbol of life) inform us as to synonimity between the meaning of the Ank and mushroom symbols.
Third row; The English letter T and its Egyptian equivalent form a musgroom shape together.
The mushroom shape was a symbol for solstice in Egypt. Note that a pare of these stand specifically for the winter (southern) solstice.
And sets on the Western line.
Above is a screenshot of the sun rising during the winter solstice. On the tip of the stern of the constellation Argo the ark is a star called Tureis. Tureis rises and sets (follows the same path) in the same places as the sun during the winter solstice. In this Frame we can see Tureis setting as the sun rises.
Here is an animation of the solstice alignment. Each shot is a new day on the horizon. The sun dies (stands still) for three days, every year, and is risen again, (turns back to the North) on Dec 24/25.
Below is the full picture of the Three Winter Solstice Constellations. Orion, Canis Major and the forgotten Argo.
Rho Pup seems to be present in the Zeitgeist movie's diagram of the winter solstice alignment. But it is never mentioned nor is it labeled. Did the artist know what they were doing?
A Gate to the afterlife.
The egyptian glyph for a door is a T shape, strangley there are no Tshaped Doors in all of Khemet that I am yet aware of. Although they do apear in Asia and in the Native Americas.
The theory of these Mayan and Hopi doors is that the thin gaps produced a cooler breeze than wide ones would. Thus they were ancient doors and windows engineered as primitive AC units. They were connected to the wind god in the Mayan tradition.
Below is a visual connection between epiphany, the Winter Triangle (in which Sirius marks the lower corner) and Egyptian glyphs for Sirius, (Sothis).

Ed Sheeran: Bad Habits review – a certain smash that's ready for the Weeknd
The UK's biggest pop star returns, singing of compulsive hedonism over 80s dance-pop – remind you of anyone?
Spotify has chosen to promote Ed Sheeran's new single by sitting it at the head of a playlist of his previous hits. The "plays" column of the latter makes for mind-boggling reading: the figures look less like streaming statistics and more like long-distance phone numbers. Every track is immediately recognisable – you could have spent your every waking hour engaged in a dogged attempt to avoid the music of Ed Sheeran and you'd still know exactly what they were and who they were by within seconds of them starting. He's spent the last decade enjoying the kind of success that, in one sense at least, brooks no argument: even his loudest detractor couldn't argue against his ability to write one song after another that attains a weird kind of omnipresence, hits that evolve into inescapable facts of daily life.
This is not a state of affairs that Bad Habits looks likely to change. That Sheeran has trailed it as a "surprise" and "mad" tells you more about his innate populism than the song itself: it's a well-written, extremely commercial pop song, cowritten by regular collaborators Fred Gibson and SNOW Patrol guitarist Johnny McDaid, the latter of whom also had a hand in earlier Sheeran hits Shape of You, Photograph and Bloodstream.
Rock Dog 2: Rock Around the Park review – hectic sequel with an all-over-the-place plot

If you are like most, you know that it would be beneficial to just have money handed over your way. You work hard at what you do and are financially stable. You know that it is time for you to move into a Downtown San Diego Condo and want to make sure that you have the best opportunities available for you. The first investigation to make in order to step forward is through a loan pre-qualification.
Loan pre-qualifications will determine if you have the financial ability to invest in real estate in the beginning. By having the right pre-qualification, you can be guaranteed a specific amount of money and will have the ability to move into the Treo condo of your dreams.
The first thing that is determined with loan pre-qualification is how much you make each year from your job. By finding this, it will allow for lenders to know how much you will be able to put into a loan in relation to other expenses that you may have. Things such as personal debt and car loans, as well as credit card expenses will be calculated in this figure to show the first step to finding the right loan.
After these specific points have been added up, the time frame in which you will pay your loans will be factored in. This will give the companies an idea of how much you can pay and how this will relate to the debt and finances that you have coming in and out of your pocket. This will be defined by using formulas that will relate how much money you are making in relation to how much you can pay to balance out your loan. Usually, pre-qualification formulas will divide things by factoring in ratios for standards of living.
If you want to make sure that you have the right loan, then becoming pre-qualified is the first step that you will need to take. This will enable you to move forward with what you want and need for your loan. By knowing what to expect, you can prepare for the process of getting a loan and can move into the property that you want.


Millennials have readily jumped onto the bandwagon of reusable metal straws but is this just a fad? Inspired by her environmentally-conscious colleague, our writer, Weina discovers what it means to go green.
There has been much talk of going green with terms like "Sustainability" and "Zero Waste" increasingly being thrown around, but are we truly loving our environment if the research shows that in a year, Singaporeans take 820 million plastic bags¹ from supermarkets alone? That means each of us use at least 146 plastic bags yearly. As we start to feel the effects of Singapore's rising temperatures, that made me think about whether I should be doing more for my planet.
As someone who is not very green, I decided to document my daily routine as an average millennial to discover how much waste I am unnecessarily generating in contrast with a green millennial. I did not have to look far to find one - a few rows away from my desk at work sits a colleague who is passionate about all things green and spearheads many green initiatives at work.
Editor's Note: My colleague will be known as #GreenMillennial in this article while I'll take the moniker, #AverageMillennial.
Our day starts off with the most important meal of the day - breakfast.
After lunch, we decided to treat ourselves to a cold drink.
#AverageMillennial: "Look at the excessive packaging used in my bubble tea. There's a plastic cup and lid, a plastic straw wrapped in plastic covering, and everything is packed in a plastic bag - how many times did you see the word "plastic" in that sentence? I also realised that I don't think twice when asked if I need a bag - my default answer is "yes". But do I really need it? This is an instance where I can definitely cut down on my plastic usage."
Before heading back to the office, we decided to stock up on some snacks.
Later that afternoon, a colleague accidentally spilled some water on the floor.
By the end of the day, the answer was clear.
I generate a lot of waste and can save A LOT just by being A LITTLE MORE environmentally conscious.
In the span of half a day, I would have used 3 plastic bags, 1 plastic cup, 1 plastic straw and a host of other items wrapped in plastic packaging. On the other hand, my colleague has saved 2 plastic bags, 1 plastic straw and lots of paper towels.
Being aware of our plastic consumption truly is scary because each of us are contributing to the 820 million plastic bags Singaporeans consume each year. Let's not take a backseat anymore!
If you want to find out why Singapore is a plastic nation and how we can do our part for the environment, read this article.
You can go green by supporting these efforts!

Donatello's Version
James Scully (Author)
These are post-9/11 poems examining such issues as the Holocaust, the prison scandals in Iraq, and other human rights violations.
Written as the war on terror morphed into an imperial war, Donatello's Version carries on the public poetry tradition of Aeschylus, Sophocles, Horace, Juvenal, Dante, Milton, Blake, and others. These poems arise from the premise that words matter, that the res publica (the human value that individuals in a community place above their own self-interest) also matters, and that the voice of the poet can make a difference.
In Donatello's Version, post-9/11 reality is re-viewed through Hamlet, Donatello's David, Lazarus, and Coltrane. Rather than being a poetry collection of answers, this is a poetry collection of questions, impasses, and revelations.
James Scully is considered one of the most important figures in poetry that engages the reader in social and political issues. Born in 1937 in New Haven, Connecticut, he is the winner of the 1967 Lamont Award and the recipient of a 1973 Guggenheim Fellowship. He spent 1973 and 1974 in Santiago, Chile, on which his book Santiago Poems is based. Over the years, his poetry has appeared in many diverse periodicals. He currently lives in San Francisco.
"Donatello's Version is a social poetry which arises not from opinionation and facile protest, but from clear-eyed witness." — Richard Wilbur
"James Scully's Donatello's Version is essential reading...Scully's achievement has matched his remarkable ambition." —Jon Andersen, The Café Review
"James Scully's fierce moral intelligence, poetic craft and grim humor are all alive and well in this long-awaited collection." —Adrienne Rich

A survey of Mennonite poetry should begin with a reference to articles on hymnology in the Mennonite Encyclopedia that trace the history of Anabaptist hymn-writing from its beginnings in the 16th century. Even though the early hymns of the Anabaptists were, as H. S. Bender observes, not primarily "literary vehicles," many of the early hymnaries were explicitly intended to be read for the "edification of souls," and so can legitimately be regarded as the forerunners of the religious verse that dominated the earliest manifestations of modern Mennonite poetic expression.
Mennonite poetic writing even in the early years was restricted neither to the kind of verse that found its way into the early hymnals, nor to the martyr stories, as the several articles on literature reveal. For even as the martyr poems and hymns were being composed, the first of the Dutch Mennonite poets qua poets emerged as significant national literary figures. They included the great Dutch master Joost van den Vondel (b. 1587) and Karel von Mander (b. 1548).
N. van der Zijpp draws attention to later Dutch Mennonite poets active in the 17th and early 18th century: the gifted lyricist Jan Luiken (b. 1649), for example, and Elisabeth Koolaert-Hoofman (b. 1664), one of the first Dutch women poets to publish her work.
There are significant gaps in Mennonite literary history between the early 18th and late 19th century. Whether these gaps reflect a radical disruption in literary productivity, the lack of access to publication, or simply a hiatus in scholarship remains to be fully explored. (Given the evidence for a tradition of informal literary activity among the Mennonites throughout the centuries, one would assume that those with poetic temperaments would have continued to compose, even under adverse circumstances.)
What one could speak of as the modern tradition of Mennonite poetry began in the late 19th century when a palpable interest in things literary, access to a receptive audience, some sense of leisure, and the means of publication developed among the German-speaking Mennonite colonists in the Ukraine. Among the poets of this period were Bernhard Harder (whose work Geistliche Lieder und Gelegenheitsgedichte was published in 1880), Heinrich Johann Janzen, Johannes Heinrich Janzen, Martin Fast, and Gerhard Loewen (literature). All, of course, wrote in German.
Of the Russian Mennonite emigrants who settled in Germany after World War I, A.B. Enns published a book of poems entitled Die Hütte (Emden, 1924) and Hans Harder, best known for his prose, wrote poems as well (a few examples of which have appeared in the Mennonite Mirror).
Jacob H. Janzen
Among the German-speaking Russian Mennonite colonists who settled in Canada, Isaac P. Friesen published two volumes of verse, Im Dienste des Meisters (Constance, Germany, ca. 1910) and J. H. Janzen published a collection called Durch Wind und Wellen (Waterloo, 1928). G. A. Peters published Gedichte I, II (Winnipeg, 1923) and Blumen am Wegrand (North Kildonan [Winnipeg], 1946). The several volumes of poetry by Johann P. Klassen are listed in the article on literature. Heinrich Görz published Gedichte (n.d.) in North Kildonan, and J. W. Goerzen published Germanic Heritage in Edmonton in 1962. Valentin Sawatsky published several volumes of poems in the tradition of these German Canadian Mennonite poets between 1958 and 1983: Lindenblätter (1958), Heimatglocken (1962), Friedensklänge (1971), Abendlicht (Waterloo, 1977), Eichenlaub (Waterloo, 1981), Glockenläuten (Waterloo, 1982), Einkehr (Steinbach, 1983). Many of these poets published their own work and were not able to distribute it widely. Little of it is remarkable from a purely literary perspective.
Most highly respected of the émigré poets for the literary quality of his work has been Gerhard Johann Friesen (pseudonym: Fritz Senn, b. 1894), whose poems (characteristically, laments for the poet's lost idyllic world of the Russian steppe) were collected in Das Dorf im Abendgrauen, edited by Elisabeth Peters, and in Gesammelte Gedichte und Prosa, edited by Victor G. Doerksen (CMBC Publications, 1987).
Most of these German-speaking poets wrote conventional verse in a style predominantly influenced by German Romanticism. Their themes, as the titles of the volumes suggest, most often reflect the authors' concerns about religious devotion or their deep sense of nostalgia for a lost homeland; subject matter tends to range from religion and nature to less prominent concerns about Mennonite history and matters of daily living.
The transition from German to English Mennonite poetry in North America stretches over several decades. It is readily discernible in the various Mennonite newspapers and magazines that publish verse. Among those that publish, or have published, English poetry with some regularity are The Mennonite Mirror, The Christian Leader, Christian Living, The Gospel Herald, The Mennonite, and Mennonite Life. Poets whose work appears in the English serials include, most often, Jean Janzen, Elmer Suderman, Wilfred Martens, Tim Wiebe, Sarah Klassen, Clint Toews, Elaine Sommers Rich, and Menno Wiebe -- only a few of whom have published collections of their work. There is no want of poetry in the Mennonite periodicals of North America; much of it falls into the categories of inspirational or occasional verse, its publication usually (apparently) based on extra-literary considerations.
The most sophisticated poetry by Mennonites (and most satisfying from a literary perspective) is that which has been published in Mennonite and secular literary journals, as well as in poetry chapbooks, during the 1970s and 1980s. This is work that ranges in subject matter from the profane to the mystical; it tends to be contemporary in style. Noteworthy among these strong modern Mennonite voices are Japanese professor and lay minister Yorifumi Yaguchi (b. 1932), who has published two collections of poems in English, as well as five in Japanese; and Americans Lauren Friesen, Jeff Gundy (b. 1952), and [Canadian-born] Jean Janzen (b. 1933). In Canada, where a strong literary tradition developed among the Mennonites, especially in Manitoba, in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, the best poets are highly respected outside, as well as inside, the Mennonite community. Particularly significant are the works of Patrick Friesen (b. 1946), Di Brandt (b. 1952), and David Waltner-Toews (b. 1948). Others who have published volumes of verse include Sarah Klassen (1932), Audrey Poetker (b. 1962), E. F. Dyck, and Victor Jarrett Enns (b. 1955).
Contemporary Mennonite poetry begs a question raised as early as the 17th century, when the Dutch Mennonite poet Joost van den Vondel converted in midcareer to Roman Catholicism: "how can one define Mennonite poetry?" (Can the poetry of van den Vondel's "Catholic period" be considered "Mennonite poetry," for example? Does the category "Mennonite poets" include converts who were reared and learned to write in another cultural or religious context; does it include those who have left the church and the community but were reared within the Mennonite tradition?) Can one speak of particular Mennonite themes?
Much of what the new Mennonite poets compose has been, broadly speaking, secular. Yet the Mennonite ethos remains as a palpable force in much of their work: as something to rebel bitterly against (in Victor Jarrett-Enns and the early Patrick Friesen); in the use of High German and Low German words and phrases; in the persistent evocation of the loss of a sense of community; and in the moral and theological questioning. Perhaps this most recent (and most literarily sophisticated) poetry is, despite its secular posture and form, the most "Mennonite" of all.

January in Cleveland, two years ago. Mike Fratello's Cavaliers taking the air out of the ball, producing a maddeningly slow, defensive game. Bulls up by four early in the fourth quarter. Jordan holding the ball on the wing against the unfortunate Donny Marshall.
I must confess that in the flashbulb burst of what happened next, I don't remember what set Jordan off. The stat sheet sheds no light. It doesn't say whether Marshall bumped Jordan, or slapped at the ball, or looked at him funny, which in Jordan's case was sometimes enough.
All I remember is the voice of my colleague, Terry Armour, the Bulls beat writer, who had become very adept at picking up on Jordan's moods.
"Uh-oh," Armour said. "Michael's mad."
You could see the adrenaline surge through Jordan's body and pump it up, like a Thanksgiving Day parade balloon--Superman, presumably--going from flat to filled in a fraction of a second. His face twisted into an intimidating mask. And then he flashed into the key and up and onto the rim and thrust the ball through the hoop. His body, rigid at the point of impact, looked like a giant starfish outlined against the backboard.
Then, 69 seconds later, he did it again on the other side.
The dunks started a 6-minute-long, 17-4 run. Bulls win.
He played in January the way you would expect him to play in June. He couldn't help it.


Meet Peter Gnit, a recklessly aspiring, self-deluded anti-hero. This twisted adaption of Henrik Ibsen's 1876 play Peer Gynt sets up expectations, then hilariously dashes them, challenging what we think we know about this classic character.
Peter's problem-causing skills may well be his most pronounced ability. Today he'll disappoint his ailing mother by arriving late at her bedside. He'll disrupt the wedding of his ex-girlfriend, absconding with the bride as an angry mob chases him out into the mountains. So begins a lifetime of bad decisions, for Peter believes he's on a mission to discover his "authentic self." Written by Will Eno and directed by Jessika Malone, Guest Faculty Director.

Гуго Карлович Бакмансон (; 1860—1953) — русский и финский художник-баталист. Живописец, график.

Биография
Родился  года в Або (Великое княжество Финляндское) (по другим данным — в Паймио).

Воспитывался в Финляндском кадетском корпусе. С 1881 года — офицер лейб-гвардии Измайловского полка. В 1892—1894 годах учился в Николаевской академии Генерального штаба.

Первоначальное художественное образование получил в детстве, в 1870—1873 годах в Школе рисования Общества искусств в Або. Находясь на военной службе, в 1884 году поступил в Императорскую академию художеств (ИАХ), где до 1886 года учился в классе батальной живописи. В 1886 году получил малую поощрительную медаль и звание неклассного (свободного) художника. В 1894—1899 годах учился в Высшем художественном училище живописи, скульптуры и архитектуры при ИАХ у Н. Д. Кузнецова и П. П. Чистякова. В 1899 году за картину «Провожатый» получил звание классного художника.

В 1899 году вышел в отставку подполковником.

С конца 1890-х годов путешествовал по Северной Африке (Тунис, Алжир) и Европе (Франция, Германия); создал цикл путевых зарисовок и акварелей. Выполнял батальные и жанровые композиции, портреты, пейзажи.

В годы Русско-японской войны был в Маньчжурии. Во время Первой мировой войны был в Урмии.
