The Trump Administration Is Proof Of The Fragility Of White Men In Power
The new administration seems to be one tweet away from a total meltdown—as the rest of us get stronger.

In November of 2016, Donald Trump took to Twitter to address what is, in his opinion, one of the greatest threats to his administration: actors and the media.
This happened after then-Vice President Elect Mike Pence had secured seats to the critically acclaimed broadway show Hamilton, and his presence was met with boos and negative jeering from the crowd. Hamilton cast lead Brandon Dixon took a moment to address Pence to inform him of how his legislative policies affected and frightened the LGBT community. Instead of seeing the incident as a successful exercise of our first amendment rights of freedom of speech, then President-elect Trump saw the public address as an attack.
The cast and producers of Hamilton, which I hear is highly overrated, should immediately apologize to Mike Pence for their terrible behavior
Our wonderful future V.P. Mike Pence was harassed last night at the theater by the cast of Hamilton, cameras blazing.This should not happen!
The Theater must always be a safe and special place.The cast of Hamilton was very rude last night to a very good man, Mike Pence. Apologize!
This is one of hundreds of tweets that demonstrate the fragility of Trump's ego. From fiery marks aimed at everyone from SNL, to Arnold Scwarzenagger to Meryl Streep, his easily baited personality is even more confounding given his reputation as a social media bully who makes bigoted legislative decisions. Before Trump was president, these character attacks were personal in nature, but now his words have repercussions that echo throughout the world.
For minorities (people of color, LGBT peoples and women), being constantly criticized and hated isn't just a reality we live in words, it's a reality we live legislatively–whether it's through a travel ban, the defunding of Planned Parenthood, threats to override gay marriage rights, harmful rhetoric to bring back stop & frisk, or laws that directly affect our communities. Consequently, as far as White men in power are concerned, the most we can do is bruise their egos—and bruised egos are incomparable to bruised lives.
When 'mean' becomes policy, we are all in trouble.
Banning citizens with passports from seven countries because of their religion isn't 'terrible' in Trump's America, it's a national security decision. But Nordstrom refusing to sell Ivanka Trump's latest high heels is seen as 'unfair treatment' in Trump's moral compass. We didn't see any of that sympathetic language used to defend the Muslim immigrants who were detained in airports in the wake of his travel ban back in March.
This trickle down weakness is also reflected in his picks for members of his cabinet.
The White House press secretary, Sean Spicer literally held a press conference to address memes and media reports that claimed the size of Obama's inauguration trumped (pun intended) the size of Donald's. Seemingly appalled by the comparison, Spicer condemned media outlets as 'intentionally framing' images incorrectly in his tirade against the press. Discrediting long-seeded and vetted journalists isn't 'wrong' in the age of Trump, but an SNL parody that criticizes Spicer's press conference tantrum is considered 'mean.'
And in February, Senator Elizabeth Warren, who was offensively nicknamed "Pocahontas" by Donald Trump via Twitter when her Native-American heritage was questioned by Republicans, was banned from speaking on the Senate floor after reading a letter from Coretta Scott King to oppose the confirmation of Jeff sessions.
Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell ruled her speech to be a violation of Rule 19, which condemns senators from "impugn[ing] another senator or senators any conduct or motive unworthy or unbecoming a senator."
By taking this unprecedented action to silence a senator on the floor, it demonstrates that Senate republicans were more offended by the reading of the letter than they were offended by Sessions' political history of obstructing Black voters.
The chorus of hypocrisy rings heavy in this administration. And yet, we the people, who are women, people of color, LGBT, and of varying socio-economic classes, have to be continually bombarded with messages from the White House that threaten our way of life. Yet when the public pushes back against legislative tyranny, we've gone too far.
To be clear, the Obama family endured the fires of hate thrown at them verbally, politically and in press daily—with Trump leading the way in a racist birther campaign against the president. On top of that ridiculous charade, there were peers in politics calling Michelle an 'ape in heels,' and wishing death upon Barack Obama without flinching.
Despite those hurtful blows, the Obamas have lived by the motto 'When they go low, we go high,' that Michelle coined during a speech on the Clinton campaign trail.
The way the Trump administration has reacted to rightful criticism of their decisions is proof that political, financial and business power does not equate to internal power.
We see that reflected in their shaking egos, and we see our own strength reflected in our ability to endure regardless of what they subject us to.
When Mitch McConnell explained why Warren was banned from speaking from the Senate floor, his words regarding her invincibility later became a rallying cry for feminists "Nevertheless, she persisted."
Since the election, hundreds of thousands in the nation have marched and protested and banned together in unprecedented numbers against injustice and hate.
If the meek shall inherit the earth, every weak Trump tweet brings those considered 'powerless' closer to obtaining the rights bestowed on us as Americans and as human beings.

Designing Delaware Intersections for People
Rethinking Eight Delaware Intersections
On November 19 some of the smartest and most experienced national and international transportation experts (see below) will bring their best design ideas to improve intersections to Delaware.
Of 50 intersections nominated by people all across Delaware, each of these experts chose one for an entire conference session to focus on.
Thank you for attending Bike Delaware's 2020 Virtual Conference. Links to the recordings of each session are available below.
Please note: The 2021 conference website is available at https://intersections2021.bikede.org.
9:00am – 9:30am (EST)
Q. What is the most challenging obstacle to creating safer streets for people cycling and walking in Delaware communities?
A. Intersections
Making intersections safe for people when intersections are also being used by vehicles is a challenge for even the most motivated engineers.
George Meldrum President, AARP Delaware

The Dutch Return to "New Amstel" (aka New Castle)
9:40am – 11:15am (EST)
Chestnut Street (SR273) & E. 6th Street
Dick van Veen Senior Designer, Dickvanveen Street Design Public Space
Dick van Veen is an urban designer and engineer with over 15 years of experiences designing safe and vibrant streets and places.
Delaware Street (SR273) & Basin Road (SR141)
Lennart Nout Planner and Urban Designer, Mobycon
Lennart Nout is a planner and urban designer at Mobycon, an independent research and consulting company focused on traffic, transport and mobility.
Frenchtown Road (SR273) & Dupont Highway (US13)
Maurits Lopes Cardozo Principal Designer and Founder, Bike-minded
Maurits Lopes Cardozo is principal designer and founder of Bike-minded: a Dutch innovation studio specializing in design and innovation for bicycle mobility offering creative design and engineering expertise to help cities transition to bicycle friendly, safe, attractive and sustainable transportation.
Centre Road & Faulkland Road (just west of Wilmington)
11:25am – 12:15pm (EST)
This session will apply the '20 Flag Method' for pedestrian and bicyclist safety at intersections developed under NCHRP 07-25 (Download PDF, 2MB) to an intersection near Wilmington. The method systematically assesses twenty common safety concerns for all pedestrian and bicyclist movements, and identifies 'yellow flags' and 'red flags' in the design. Yellow flags are those tied to concern for comfort and quality of service for pedestrians and bicyclists, while red flags are those tied to specific safety concerns for non-motorized users. The session will also offer two design alternatives for the intersections, including one focused on low cost countermeasures and one focused on overall re-design of the intersection.
Bastian Schroeder Principal Engineer, Kittelson & Associates
Bastian Schroeder is a principal engineer at Kittelson & Associates, specializing in multimodal safety, design, and operations, and was the lead investigator for NCHRP 07-25 on Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety at Alternative Intersections and Interchanges.
Shannon Warchol Senior Engineer, Kittelson & Associates
Shannon Warchol is a senior engineer at Kittelson & Associates based in Pittsburgh, PA, who works with local, state, and federal clients to develop solutions in safety and operations for all modes at intersections and interchanges, with a special focus on alternative and innovative designs.
Savannah Road & Gills Neck Road (Lewes)
1:00pm – 1:40pm (EST)
Bike lanes or left turn lanes? While Savannah Road in Lewes is wide enough to have bike lanes, it looks like there's no space for bike lanes at the intersection because of the need for left turn lanes.
Learn about a solution called an "informal flare" that would allow continuous bike lanes while preserving the functionality of left turn lanes. This treatment can be the key to bicycle safety at intersections involving streets 30 to 40 feet wide.
Peter Furth Professor of Civil Engineering, Northeastern University
Peter Furth is a professor of civil engineering at Northeastern University who has taught bicycle infrastructure design to engineering students in courses and workshops since 2007.
Orange Street Protected Intersections (Wilmington)
In Wilmington, the Riverfront Development Corporation decided to make a bold move and provide bike lanes with protected intersections along a brand new street – Orange Street – which will be built with the South Market Street improvements project and which will create a safe route for people using bicycles away from the heavy vehicle traffic of nearby Market Street. This session will highlight design considerations of several protected intersections along Orange Street, with particular attention to the intersection at Howard Street and the Central Green.
Nathan George Bicycle and Pedestrian Practice Lead, RK&K
Nathan George leads RK&K's Bicycle and Pedestrian Practice, developing plans for low-stress bicycle facilities, ADA compliant and multimodal intersection improvements and supporting Vision Zero efforts throughout the mid-Atlantic region.
Library Avenue (SR72) & Wyoming Road (Newark)
"Protected Intersection"? or Roundabout? Learn step-by-step procedures for applying these design concepts. This intersection, near the U. Delaware campus, doesn't really need channelized right turn lanes with pork chop islands.
It could be a lot safer and more attractive for pedestrians and cyclists if reconfigured as either a "protected intersection" or single-lane roundabout, using design practices perfected in the Netherlands over many decades. The step-by-step procedures for applying these design concepts will apply the intersection of any pair of two-lane roads, including roads with moderately high traffic volumes.
East Cleveland Avenue & Paper Mill Road (Newark)
The five-leg intersection of Cleveland Avenue, Paper Mill Road, Chapel Street, and Margaret Street in Newark has been an issue in terms of multimodal access and congestion for at least 30 years. The opening of the Pomeroy Trail in 2012 - which passes directly through this intersection and is one of the most popular paved pathways in the entire state of Delaware - only intensified this intersection's complexity. In this session, Jeff Riegner will review the unique constraints at this intersection and offer design suggestions for discussion by attendees.
Jeff Riegner Vice President, Whitman Requardt & Associates
Jeff Riegner is a vice president at Whitman, Requardt & Associates, a member of the ITE International Board of Direction, past chair of the organization's Pedestrian and Bicycle Council, and a member of the National Complete Streets Coalition steering committee.

The ultrastructure of spinal cord perivascular spaces: Implications for the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid
Magdalena A. Lam, Sarah J. Hemley, Elmira Najafi, Nicole G.F. Vella, Lynne E. Bilston, Marcus A. Stoodley
Department of Clinical Medicine
Perivascular spaces play a pivotal role in the exchange between cerebrospinal and interstitial fluids, and in the clearance of waste in the CNS, yet their precise anatomical components are not well described. The aim of this study was to characterise the ultrastructure of perivascular spaces and their role in the transport of fluid, in the spinal cord of healthy rats, using transmission electron microscopy. The distribution of cerebrospinal fluid tracers injected into the subarachnoid space was studied using light, confocal and electron microscopy. Perivascular spaces were found around arterioles and venules, but not capillaries, throughout the spinal cord white and grey matter. They contained fibroblasts and collagen fibres, and were continuous with the extracellular spaces of the surrounding tissue. At 5 min post injection, tracers were seen in the subarachnoid space, the peripheral white matter, the perivascular spaces, basement membranes, extracellular spaces of the surrounding tissue, and surprisingly, in the lumen of blood vessels, suggesting trans-vascular clearance. These findings point out an unrecognised outflow pathway for CNS fluids, with potential implications for volume regulation in health and disease states, but also clinically for the detection of CNS-derived biomarkers in plasma, the immune response and drug pharmacokinetics.

One type of malware that has been a problem is a shortcut virus, which renders all my pendrive folders hidden.  When I view the drive contents, I see nothing except a shortcut file. But my folders appear when I search.
How to solve this?

A: Press Win + R, type cmdin "Open:" field. Then click "OK" or enter. This would bring you to the command line terminal.
Then type the following command replacing X with the drive letter of your flash drive/pendrive and then enter:
attrib -h -r -s /s /d X:\*.*

If you eager to see more about this command see this documentation from microsoft.

Christian Marek, In the Land of a Thousand Gods: A History of Asia Minor in the Ancient World (in collaboration with Peter Frei; translated by Steven Rendall; first published in German 2010). Princeton; Oxford: Princeton University Press, 2016. Pp. xix, 797. ISBN 9780691159799. $49.50.
Reviewed by Paola Ceccarelli, University College London (p.ceccarelli@ucl.ac.uk)
The book under discussion is the revised and updated translation of the second edition of Geschichte Kleinasiens in der Antike, which appeared in 2010 and was widely reviewed, including in BMCR by M. Weiskopf (2010.08.13).1 For this reason, a detailed summary of the book seems unnecessary; I prefer to focus on some aspects which struck me as the main strength of the volume, and on the changes and additions that the opportunity of a translation has offered.
This is an excellent translation of an extraordinary book. Felicitous tweaks start with the title. The English one, In the Land of a Thousand Gods, is certainly more enticing than the straightforward original (turned into a subtitle in the English version). It may initially appear slightly misleading, for this is how the Hittites, in the second millennium, viewed Asia Minor (e.g. in the treaty between Suppiluliuma and Ḫukkana of Hajasa, quoted on p. 79). But in light of subsequent historical developments, the title ends up being oddly appropriate: among the various lines of continuity traced by Marek is the suggestion that the religious sense emanating from Hittite texts such as those discussed at pp. 79-82 is 'spiritually related' to the rural religiosity of the Anatolian propitiatory inscriptions dating from the first to the third century CE and coming mostly from the valley of the Hermos, discussed at pp. 523-5.
The introduction (ch. 1) justifies the book, explaining how and why it makes sense to write a history of Asia Minor. Asia Minor does not correspond to a clearly differentiated geographical or cultural unit; it was at all times inhabited by a mixture of peoples and cultures, and controlled by a series of shifting empires and states. Marek, however, suggests that continuity is to be found in three constants: first, the orientation towards political and cultural centres outside the peninsula itself; second, the peninsula's nature as a melting pot of civilisations; and, third, its role in mediating between cultures by offering points of contact for cultural exchange and transmission. The rest of the book is dedicated to demonstrating this thesis while providing a narrative of political events and cultural, social and economic developments.
After a chapter on the modern 'discovery' of Anatolia (ch. 2), the reader is transported back in time to the Neolithic age: Asia Minor already functioned as a bridge between Asia and Europe during this period, even if specific pathways and crossroads cannot (yet) be traced with great precision (48). Marek discusses the sites in the region of Urfa (in the so-called northern Fertile Crescent), in particular Göbekli Tepe, and the rather different ones in the plain of Konya (notably Çatal Höyuk), emphasizing the differences between them, but also the links established through exchange and trade. The presence of Assyrian merchants at Kārum Kaneš from the end of the third millennium further underlines cultural contact.
The next chapter (mainly the work of Peter Frei) covers the period from the Hittite empire to the arrival of the Persians in Asia Minor. This is a huge span of time, but the chronological parameters make sense within the overarching thesis of the book. As the authors state, 'the Hittite empire has a special status in the history of Asia Minor. For the first, and for ages the only, time—and this holds true long after antiquity—almost the whole of the Asia Minor peninsula was politically dominated and culturally shaped by a people residing in Anatolia' (96). But it was an empire that became part of an international system of relations between states; and once this system broke down, the power vacuum it left led to the development of a series of smaller states, in which aspects of earlier linguistic and cultural traditions remained alive.
Chapter 5 gives a brisk account of events in Asia Minor, from the Ionian revolt to the conquest by Alexander. Political developments and religion, funerary monuments, and status of the land are just some of the topics that receive sustained attention, always with precise references to current scholarly debates and recent discoveries.2
The next chapter (6) covers Asia Minor from the wars between the successors to the formation of the Roman province of Asia. Again, a brisk historical narrative is interspersed with pointed discussions of artistic, cultural and economic developments. Particular space is given to Pergamon (203-250), with illuminating observations throughout. In discussing Attalos' use of his victory over the Galatians as propaganda, for instance, Marek points to the existence of Eastern (and not just Greek) precedents for the topos of the victory over the barbarian (241-2, with reference to the annihilation of the Saka by the Persians). In the same context, there is also an excellent discussion of Pergamon's competitive stance—not only towards Athens, but also and especially towards Alexandria (243-4).
The final part of the book looks at the organization of Asia Minor under the Roman Empire, from Augustus to Aurelian. The detailed, mostly political narrative of chapter 7 is followed by a chapter that explores the imperial administration of Asia Minor; the book concludes (ch. 9) with an in-depth analysis of the economic, socio-political and cultural conditions of the Anatolian provinces in the imperial period. The pages dedicated to 'Society' (with subsections on 'Tombs, Death and Dying' or 'Land Ownership, Families, Wives, Children, Foster Children and Slaves') and those on 'Cultural Heritage and the Second Sophistic', with their special emphasis on literary practices, spectacles, and religion, are particularly fascinating. Finally, a short 'Epilogue and Outlook' justifies the decision to end the book with the moment when Constantine transferred the capital of the Empire to Byzantium, renaming it Constantinople.
The book thus offers a sound chronological roadmap for Asia Minor from prehistory to 330 CE, with subsections in most chapters on, for example, religion, literature, state, society and economy. The treatment of Asia Minor during the Roman Empire is organised differently: there, the political history is separated from discussions of administrative structure and the economic and socio-cultural conditions; but the basic principle remains the same. What impresses throughout is the attention to detail, which brings to life events and situations. To give just a couple of examples: the prosperity of Asia Minor under Hadrian is described through the image on the bronze coins of the small Lydian city of Saitta, presenting on the verso the personified city (Tyche, wearing a mural crown), clasping hands with the emperor, 'bursting with pride over the ruler of the world's visit' (346). Throughout, the authors present the reader with the most recent research on any given topic: the book is remarkably up-to-date. Thus, when discussing the Lydian empire and culture, Frei refers not only to the corpus of Lydian inscriptions, but adds references (111) to recently discovered Lydian inscriptions from the Caystros valley and Aphrodisias in Caria.3 Similarly, Marek discusses the fascinating inscription from Sinope recording the alliance between the city of Sinope and the family of tyrants from Heraclea Pontica in detail (156), referring to it simply as a 'stone found in Sinope a few years ago'—which indeed may have been the only description available when the first draft of the book was composed; the text has meanwhile been published by D.H. French as I. Sinope 1 in 2004 (see SEG 54.1258). Again, Marek draws attention to the extraordinary discovery made in 2010 in a tomb in Mylasa (possibly the tomb of Hekatomnos, the father of Mausolos) of a metrical inscription on stone—the longest Greek poem on stone so far, 124 verses, mentioning a poet so far unknown, Hyssaldomos (166); publication is eagerly awaited.4
Over and above specific details, the book makes a good case for its overarching thesis of a unity that paradoxically arises from diversity and the lack of a centre of gravity. The frequent internal references (flash-forwards or retrospects) that emphasize similarities and differences across time are thus an essential part of the argument: the Hittites and the Egyptians confronted each other in Syria 'more or less as the Ptolemaic and Seleucid kings did more than a thousand years later' (73); the motif of a richly dressed Persian fighting against a Scythian in a mid-fifth-century painting on wood from a tumulus grave near Kelainai in Phrygia is noteworthy 'because in it the predecessor of a topos of the barbarian is represented that finds counterparts in depictions of Greeks fighting Persians and later in those of Greeks fighting Galatians' (165);5 'two hundred years after the Iranian Cyrus conquered Asia Minor from east to west, the same feat was achieved in the opposite direction by a wild king from the Balkans at the head of Macedonian peasant-soldiers and allied Greeks' (179); the conquest of Ctesiphon by Trajan in 116 CE, which constituted the maximum reach of Roman power in Asia Minor, is followed by the story, narrated in Dio (68.29.1), of the 63 year old emperor seeing a ship sailing to India, and commenting, 'I should certainly have crossed over to the Indi, too, if I were still young' (345)—Alexander is very present here.6 Lines of continuity between the Hellenistic foundations of poleis and the Roman administration are pointed out more than once (e.g., 291-2; 341; 364).
The book is extremely well produced, including the 23 maps and 109 high quality black and white illustrations, inserted exactly where they are required in the text. An appendix contains lists of rulers from the Hittites to the Sasanians, followed by a list of the Roman governors of the Provinces, from 131 BCE to 284 CE, in turn followed by a general 'Chronological Table'. The ample (and very well chosen) end-bibliography, presented in thematic order, is meant as a tool for further research (the 'Index of authors and editors cited in the bibliography' allows one to track them down across the various sections), while an Index locorum and a thematic index round up the volume. But it is worth noting that for all the end-bibliography's size (642 entries), not all works discussed in the footnotes find a place in it: thus for instance Santo Mazzarino's Fra Oriente e occidente (Firenze 1947) is absent, but is discussed at p. 131 and n. 100. In the Land of a Thousand Gods is even richer than it appears at first sight. Not all readers will want to read it from cover to cover: but there is something here for everyone, from the interested layperson to the scholar.

Gnomeo und Julia ist ein US-amerikanisch-britischer Computeranimationsfilm aus dem Jahr 2011, der lose auf der Tragödie Romeo und Julia von William Shakespeare aufbaut.

Handlung
Die miteinander verfeindeten Mrs. Montague und Mr. Capulet bewohnen je einen Teil eines älteren Herrschaftshauses, dessen eine Hälfte in Rot und die andere Hälfte in Blau gehalten ist. Wenn sie ihre Häuserhälften verlassen, erwachen die beiden Gärten und deren jeweilige, natürlich auch verfeindeten roten und blauen Gartenzwerge und anderen Figuren zum Leben.

Bei einem Rasenmäherrennen kämpfen der blaue Gartenzwerg Gnomeo gegen den roten Zwerg Tybalt. Obwohl es während des Rennens so aussieht, als würde Gnomeo gewinnen, gewinnt Tybalt, indem er Gnomeos Rasenmäher zerstört. Als sich Gnomeo später gemeinsam mit seinem besten Freund Benny an den Roten rächen will, indem sie Tybalts Rasenmäher mit Farbe besprühen, löst Benny eine Sicherheitsvorkehrung aus, die dazu führt, dass alle roten Zwerge alarmiert werden und die beiden angreifen. Sie können fliehen und Gnomeo landet in einem fremden Garten. Dort lernt er Graf Zinnoberrots Tochter Julia kennen. Beide versuchen an eine Orchidee zu gelangen, um den Garten zu verschönern. Dabei verlieben sie sich ineinander und während sie jeweils vom anderen die Orchidee nehmen wollen, entdecken sie, dass sie aus verfeindeten Clans stammen.

Als beide jeweils in ihrem Garten sind, erzählt Julia ihrer besten Freundin Nanette von ihrer überraschenden Begegnung. Dann haben Gnomeo und Julia ein geheimes Treffen in einem anderen Garten, wo sie den Gartenflamingo Featherstone kennenlernen, der sie unterstützt und ihre Liebe fördert. Als Gnomeo nach diesem Treffen wieder in seinen Garten kommt, sieht er seine verzweifelte Mutter, die die zerstörte Pflanze seines verstorbenen Vaters betrauert. Während Gnomeo weg war, drangen Rote in den Garten ein und verwüsteten diesen.

Daraufhin wollen die Blauen Rache und Gnomeo erkennt, dass er nicht ablehnen kann, solange er sein Geheimnis nicht offenbart. Durch einen Tunnel erreicht er den roten Garten und will gerade die preisgekrönte Blumen der Roten besprühen, als er von seiner Julia entdeckt wird. Er flüchtet und erzählt Benny, dass er sein Attentat wegen einer defekten Sprühflasche nicht durchführen konnte. Als sich Gnomeo und Julia danach treffen, fangen sie einen Streit an, der nur von Featherstone mit den Worten unterbrochen wird, dass anderer Leute Hass ihre Liebe zerstöre. Sie entschuldigen sich beieinander und wollen sich gerade küssen. Allerdings werden sie von Benny abgelenkt, der sie dabei beobachtet und daraufhin flüchtet. Er läuft in eine Gasse und wird von Tybalt mit dessen Rasenmäher überrascht, der ihn damit auch gleich überfährt und dessen Zipfelmütze abschlägt. Gnomeo kommt zu Hilfe geeilt und kämpft mit Tybalt auf dessen Rasenmäher, bis dieser in eine Mauer kracht, wobei Tybalt zersplittert. Fawn zielt darauf mit einigen Steinen auf Gnomeo, während überraschenderweise Julia Gnomeo zur Hilfe eilt und ihn mit den Worten, dass sie ihn liebe, vor ihrer Familie beschützen will. Plötzlich kommt eine Joggerin vorbei und alle Gartenzwerge erstarren zu leblosen Objekten, während Gnomeo auf die angrenzende Straße gerät und zwischen den fahrenden Autos umherschleudert.

Nachdem die Joggerin weitergelaufen ist, glauben alle angesichts eines Scherbenhaufens auf der Straße, dass Gnomeo von einem Auto überfahren wurde. Julias Vater sieht den Schmerz seiner Tochter und klebt sie deswegen an einen Brunnen, weil er sie nicht genauso verlieren will wie ihre Mutter. Doch Gnomeo konnte überleben, indem er auf einen Truck kletterte. Die Fahrt endet in einem Park und Gnomeo klettert auf die Statue von William Shakespeare, dem er seine ganze Geschichte erzählt. Dieser antwortet ihm, dass es sich fast genauso anhöre wie seine eigene Geschichte Romeo und Julia und dass Gnomeo wohl auch ein trauriges Ende erleben werde.

Unterdessen kauft Benny online einen noch größeren Rasenmäher, um sich an den roten Gartenzwergen zu rächen. Doch dies geht im Endeffekt daneben, da er das meiste der beiden Gärten zerstört. Währenddessen hat es Gnomeo geschafft zurückzukehren und versucht, Julia vom Brunnen zu befreien, doch er scheitert. Sie fordert ihn auf zu gehen, doch er weigert sich und küsst sie. In diesem Moment kracht Bennys Rasenmäher in den Brunnen, zerstört ihn und befreit Julia. Alle glauben, dass Gnomeo und Julia nicht überlebt haben. Graf Zinnoberrot und Gräfin Blaublut realisieren, dass ihre Fehde für diese Katastrophe verantwortlich ist und beschließen einen Waffenstillstand. Da steigen beide unverletzt aus den Trümmern.

Der Film endet mit der Heirat von Gnomeo und Julia.

Trivia

Im Film gibt es zusätzlich zu Romeo und Julia, auf dem der Film basiert, einige Anspielungen auf Shakespeares Stücke. So befindet sich auf der Pinnwand im alten Gartenschuppen eine Eintrittskarte zur Komödie Was ihr wollt. Die Umzugsfirma wird von Rosenkranz und Güldenstern betrieben, zwei Figuren aus Hamlet. Julia wird mit speziellem Kleber auf ihrem Sockel festgeklebt. Der Kleber wird Kleber der Zähmung genannt, eine Anspielung auf Der Widerspenstigen Zähmung. Die Hausnummern der verfeindeten Nachbarn sind "2B" und "Not 2B" – eine Anspielung auf "To be or not to be". Auch kommt Shakespeare selbst zu Wort, seine Statue erzählt Gnomeo das tragische Ende von Romeo und Julia. Außerdem spielt der Film in Stratford-upon-Avon, wo Shakespeare geboren wurde, lebte und auch starb.

Der pinke Gartenflamingo heißt Featherstone – eine Anspielung auf Donald Featherstone, den Erfinder der Gartenflamingos, die in vielen Gegenden der USA ein beliebter Vorgartenschmuck sind.

Fortsetzung
2018 erschien die Fortsetzung Sherlock Gnomes, die inhaltlich und stilistisch jedoch nur wenig mit dem ersten Film gemeinsam hat und deutlich negativere Kritiken bekam.

The 2nd Phase is about education support to develop their skills through primary and secondary schools school that will features such as 5 Classrooms, 1 Library and 1 Staff room.
I assisted with the project after this list of requirement for orphanage was comprised. We got a list of universities in London that do architecture as a degree course and our CEO selected and email 2 universities. Ravensbourne offer to pursue the project but they want more information so I created a design brief for the project. .
So currently, the next stages for the project are to finalise details of the project with Ravensboure staff and get students to design the project for us. For the design requirement of the project, we ask for student to design a scale floor plan and model as seen in page 1.

"The Union Savings Bank for Dock, Stonehouse, Kingsand, Cawsand, Millbrook, Torpoint, Saltash, Saint Budeaux, Tamerton and the Neighbourhood" was formed in 1818 by a small group of local gentlemen who were interested in promoting thrift.
On April 21st 1818 a Susanna Wheldale, mantua maker, of 4 Marlborough Row, opened the first account with a deposit of one shilling. The Bank started in a a room in Duke Street but it soon had to move to larger accommodation in a room of a house in Saint Aubyn Street, which it rented for £15 a year. By the end of that first year deposits totalled £26,595, and accounts were held by 841 individuals, 23 friendly societies and one charitable institution. Many of its customers came from Plymouth.
In 1828 the Bank moved to its own newly-erected premises in Chapel Street. It was run by a patron, a president, and a number of trustees, not fewer than 13 and no more than 30 in number, and a committee of 21 other individuals, which meets quarterly. The amount that could be deposited was limited to £30 in the depositors' first year and £15 per year thereafter.
During the financial year ended on November 20th 1859, 1,256 new accounts had been opened and £73,346 17s 4d deposited.
A new branch was opened on January 1st 1898 right outside the Saint Levan Road Dockyard Gate and in 1922 another branch was opened in East Stonehouse. It was run on a art-time basis until permanent accommodation in Union Street was found in 1926.
In 1924 it took over savings banks at Falmouth and Camborne, in Cornwall, and it then became the Union Trustee Savings Bank of Devonport and the County of Cornwall. By 1929 it had 26,096 accounts and deposits of £1,560,040.
The Keyham Branch was destroyed during the Second World War but the head office in Chapel Street managed to remain open despite also being damaged.
After the War new branches were opened at Saint Budeaux in 1945 and at Ford in 1951. When the Admiralty took over the old centre of Devonport the Bank's head office was moved from Chapel Street to new premises in Tavistock Road at Stoke, which were officially opened in 1952 by Sir Kenneth Stewart, the chairman of the Trustee Savings Bank Association. The offices in Chapel Street remained in use as a branch until final closure on October 18th 1954.
On May 21st 1959 it was agreed that the Union Savings Bank should be merged with the Plymouth and South Devon Savings Bank to form the Plymouth, Devonport and Cornwall Trustee Savings Bank.

Disability, but not disempowerment: Women refugees and migrants get a boost from a training programme in Brazil

You wouldn't guess it by looking at the building from the outside. Just a small, standard office building. Nothing remarkable.
But inside the meeting rooms of migrant shelters in northern Brazil, dreams are being hatched.
One woman wants to work in computers. Another wants to get a job as a kitchen assistant. The dearest wish of a third is to make enough money to pay for her daughter's knee operation.
The dreams may seem small, but the women tend to them with great care.
The dreamers? Women who've fled the violence and economic ruin in their home country of Venezuela, and sought safety and work in neighbouring Brazil. They're part of a UN-sponsored vocational training programme. Most of the women speak only limited Portuguese, the language of Brazil. And each of the women we spoke with for this story has a disability.
Caption: Venezuelan women refugees and migrants take a job training course with the "Empowering Women Refugees" project in northern Brazil. The classroom is wheelchair-accessible, and sign-language interpreters are on hand. "This is part of the UN's commitment to leave no one behind," says Niky Fabiancic, Resident Coordinator of the UN in Brazil.
"It's hard for refugee women to get jobs. It's even harder for those with disabilities," says Niky Fabiancic, the Resident Coordinator of the UN in Brazil. "These women have climbed metaphorical mountains to get where they are."
The UN is helping them along in their journey. At government-run shelters in the northern state of Roraima, groups of 20 women at a time take an 80-hour course called "Empowering Women Refugees." There, they learn about Brazilian culture, entrepreneurship, customer service, sales, and social and emotional skills.
The course is an initiative of UN Women, the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), and the Global Compact Brazil Network to help refugee women get jobs. In addition to providing vocational training, the project works with private-sector partners to identify job openings and place graduates in them. The project has the support of Facebook and Iguatemi, and partners with an inclusive-education nonprofit called Turma do Jiló.
Caption: "People with disabilities need to be taken into account," says Nelys Gamboa, age 56, who uses a wheelchair. She has not been able to get formal work since arriving in Brazil, as language and accessibility make it difficult to find a job. But taking the "Empowering Women Refugees" course has been a boost. Back in Venezuela, Nelys was a kitchen assistant and is now preparing to find a job in this area in Brazil. "People are often surprised at what people with disabilities can achieve," she says. "I want to triumph and I will."

These women are among more than 600,000 migrants and refugees who've arrived from Venezuela in recent years. About 40% of them are still in Brazil, while others have returned home or moved on. With help from the government's "Operation Welcome," many displaced Venezuelans are getting food, shelter, health care, and a shot at a new life in Brazil. So far, the government has helped 43,000 Venezuelans settle in municipalities around the nation. More than one in four of them are women.
The vocational courses are held in places with wheelchair access. Sign language interpreters are on hand. Not all of the students have disabilities. Some have family members with disabilities. Some are over 50. Some are the sole providers in their family. Some are LGBTI.
Caption: "My goal is to be able to save money so that my daughter, who also has dwarfism, can have an operation on her knees," says Carmen Bermúdez, age 50, who crossed the border into Brazil two years ago and seeks to provide better living conditions for her children who are in Venezuela. After a few months in Brazil, she ran out of rent money and was left on the street. That's when she sought out Operation Welcome. "Thank god they cared about me," says Carmen. "Here in the shelter they even made a small laundry basin so I could feel comfortable. It makes me feel good."

"Empowering Women Refugees includes women with disabilities in the labour market," says the UN's Niky Fabiancic. "This isn't just an act of charity. This is part of the UN's commitment to leave no one behind. We are one world. We are one people. And we are better off for the contributions of women with disabilities."
Caption: "I was born with paralysis in half my body. My mother has supported me and taught me that my disability would not be an impediment for me to succeed in life," says Dashly Gonzalez, age 21. Back home in Venezuela, she worked in schools, clothing stores, and family homes. Now, she and her mother are both taking the "Empowering Women Refugees" course. Dashly wants to work in computing so she can support herself, her mother, and her two daughters, one of whom has autism. "Regardless of my disability" she says, "I have my dreams and I will achieve them."

U.S. believes Iran encouraged tanker attacks - U.S. sources
Mark Hosenball
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. officials believe Iran encouraged Houthi militants or Iraq-based Shi'ite militias to carry out Sunday's attacks on four tankers near the Strait of Hormuz, two U.S. government sources said on Wednesday.
The sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity and who are familiar with U.S. national security assessments, said they viewed the attacks as a serious provocation by Iran which posed a significant threat to shipping.
Iran rejects the allegation of Iranian involvement and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has said that "extremist individuals" in the U.S. government were pursuing dangerous policies. No one has claimed responsibility for the tanker attacks.
One source said U.S. government experts believe Iran gave its "blessing" to the operations, which hit two Saudi crude oil tankers, a UAE-flagged fuel bunker barge and a Norwegian-registered oil products tanker near Fujairah, one of the world's largest bunkering hubs just outside the Strait of Hormuz.
This source said the United States believes the Iranian role has been one of actively encouraging militants to undertake such actions and went beyond simply dropping hints. However, the source indicated the United States does not now have evidence that Iranian personnel played any direct operational role.
A fifth of the oil consumed in the world passes through the Strait of Hormuz en route from Gulf crude producers to much of the globe.
A Saudi-led coalition has been fighting the Houthis for four years in Yemen to try to restore the internationally recognised government in a conflict widely seen as a Saudi-Iran proxy war.
The attacks occurred against a background of tensions between the United States and Iran over Iranian nuclear capabilities, its missile programme and its support for proxies in Yemen, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. Washington ordered the departure of non-emergency American employees from its diplomatic missions in Iraq on Wednesday in another apparent show of concern about what it describes as threats from Iran.
On Tuesday, a U.S. official had said U.S. national security agencies believed proxies sympathetic to or working for Iran may have attacked four tankers rather than Iranian forces themselves.
While that official had said perpetrators might include Houthi rebels or Iraq-based Shi'ite militias, the official said Washington did not have hard evidence on who struck the vessels and did not go so far as to say Iran had encouraged them to act.

Gold prices today: On MCX, gold rates soared to ₹41,278 per 10 gram
Gold prices today hit record high, soar ₹2,000 per 10 gram in just four days
2 min read . Updated: 08 Jan 2020, 05:27 PM IST Edited By Surajit Dasgupta
Gold prices have surged this year in India after posting 25% gain last year
Silver rates have also spiked in recent days
Gold prices in India surged to record highs today as the Iran-US conflict escalated after the Persian Gulf nation fired missiles at multiple bases housing US troops in Iraq. Investors will turn their attention to the US response. On MCX, February gold futures today surged 1.5% or nearly ₹630 to a record high of ₹41290 per 10 gram. Silver futures on MCX jumped 1.4% or nearly ₹700 to ₹48,785 per kg. Gold prices jump in times of in times of political and economic uncertainty.
In India, gold is off to a scorching start this year amid rising hostilities in the Middle East and depreciation of the rupee against the US dollar, after posting 25% gain in 2019. The rupee today traded at 72.01 against the US dollar in early trade. In four days, gold is up about ₹2,000 per 10 gram.
In global markets, gold prices surged 2% to cross the key $1,600 mark, a nearly 7-year high, as investors sought refuge in the safe-haven metal amid escalating Iran-US crisis. Spot gold rates climbed over 2% to as much as $1,610.90. Among other precious metals silver prices jumped 1.2% to $18.60 per ounce while platinum advanced 0.3% to $973.95. Elsewhere, palladium hit a fresh all-time peak of $2,056.01 an ounce.
The Middle East crisis flared up again after Iran attacked military facilities in Iraq hosting American troops in its first retaliation to the killing of a top general by US forces last week. It wasn't immediately clear whether there were casualties or major damage from the attacks. The US confirmed the attack with President Donald tweeting: "Missiles launched from Iran at two military bases located in Iraq. Assessment of casualties & damages taking place now. So far, so good! We have the most powerful and well equipped military anywhere in the world, by far! I will be making a statement tomorrow morning."
Apart from geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, gold is likely to get further direction from US monthly non-farm payroll data, due on Friday, says Abhishek Bansal, chairman of ABans Group of Companies. The US Federal Reserve will also take cues from payroll data to decide the policy path in 2020, he added.
Analysts say that gold prices will remain supported amid the Middle East crisis. Reflecting the investor sentiment, holdings of the world's largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, SPDR Gold Trust, rose 0.10% to 896.18 tonnes on Monday, as compared to Friday while speculators increased their bullish positions in COMEX gold and silver contracts in the week to December 31, SMC Global Securities Ltd said in a note.
