For the head coaches after 1993, see List of Dallas Stars head coaches.
The Minnesota North Stars were an American professional ice hockey team based in Bloomington, Minnesota, a city in the U.S. metropolitan statistical area of Minneapolis – St. Paul – Bloomington, Minnesota–Wisconsin. The team joined the NHL in 1967 as an expansion team with five other teams; the Cleveland Barons, another 1967 NHL expansion team, were merged with the North Stars in the 1978–79 season. The North Stars played in the Stanley Cup Finals twice: as the Prince of Wales Conference champions in the 1980–81 season, and in the 1990–91 season after winning the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl, but lost in both Finals. The North Stars played their home games at the Met Center. The team relocated to Dallas, Texas in 1993, after former owner Norman Green announced that he was moving the team to Dallas's Reunion Arena in search of a better economic situation, and are now known as the Dallas Stars. The North Stars played in the Norris Division of the Clarence Campbell Conference in the National Hockey League (NHL) in their last season. There were 16 head coaches for the North Stars team.
The North Stars' first head coach and general manager was Wren Blair, who coached for the first three seasons, and was the North Stars' general manager until 1974; Jack Gordon, Lou Nanne, and Bob Gainey were also the general manager of the North Stars during their tenures as head coach. Nine of the first twelve North Stars head coaches lasted less than two complete seasons, while ten of the first twelve head coaches have spent their entire NHL head coaching careers with the North Stars. Gordon was the first North Stars head coach to have coached more than two complete seasons, with four.
Several head coaches have had multiple tenures with the North Stars. Glen Sonmor served three terms as North Stars head coach. He is the North Stars' all-time leader for the most regular-season games coached, regular-season game wins, regular-season points, playoff games coached, and playoff-game wins. Sonmor's first term lasted five seasons, the longest duration for one North Stars head coach term; his last term lasted two games, which was the shortest tenure. Blair, Gordon and Charlie Burns each served two terms as the North Stars' head coach. None of their second terms were winning seasons.
Burns, Ted Harris, Parker MacDonald, Nanne, and Murray Oliver had once played for the North Stars; Burns is the only person to have been a player-coach for the North Stars, having done so in the 1969–70 season. 1980 U.S. Olympic "Miracle on Ice" coach Herb Brooks, who coached the North Stars in the 1987–88 season, is the only North Stars head coach to have been elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame as a builder; Harry Howell and Gainey were inducted as players. Sonmor and Gainey are the only head coaches to reach the Stanley Cup Finals with the North Stars, in the 1981 and 1991 Finals respectively. Gainey was the last head coach of the North Stars; he coached the franchise until the 1995–96 season.
a A running total of the number of coaches of the North Stars. Thus, any coach who has two or more separate terms as head coach is only counted once.

We have long had a problem with the amount of waste we produce and what to do with it. Fossil fuels are running out and using them to create energy is having a serious impact on our environment. There are many technologies now being refined which address both these issues. These methods are collectively known as WTE or waste to energy. The simplest method is to burn waste, heating water to run a steam generator thus producing electricity. This method however does not harness all the available energy and has potential to cause pollution. Modern incinerators in developed countries are very clean however. This method of waste management just burns everything to reduce landfill so is not really a 'green' solution.
Efficient WTE starts with the collection of waste. It is much better to separate materials at the source, than to have expensive sorting facilities. When proper sorting is carried out and recyclables are removed the resulting organic materials can be treated in several ways. High energy biofuels are the result which can then be combusted to produce electricity.
Gasification is a process that converts organic materials into a rich gas known as syngas. The material is heated to over 700 degrees celsius in a controlled amount of oxygen or steam without combustion occurring. The gases given off can be burnt at a higher temperature than the original material. This makes them far more energy efficient.
Anaerobic digestion is a series of processes by microorganisms which break down organic material without oxygen present, resulting in methane gas. This method can also be used in the treatment of waste water.
Fermentation processes can be be used to obtain methane and hydrogen. The advantage of hydrogen is that the byproduct of burning it is water. Making it one of the cleanest fuels know to man.
If the waste cannot be sorted before reaching the waste management plant there are techniques that can deal with it.
Plasma gasification plants use plasma arc torches to superheat the waste. First melting then turning it to gas. Non organic material such as metals result in slag which can then be recovered. The gas produced is a high calorific fuel that is very ecologically produced. The absence of oxygen in the procedure ensures that pollutants are not formed.
Thermal depolymerisation is a complex process that converts long chain polymers found in plastics and organics, to short chain hydrocarbons. The method mimics the geological processes thought to be behind crude oil and natural gas formation. The resulting fuels are a synthetic form of light crude and petroleum.
There is a relatively simple method to use called the anaerobic process, to make electricity in your own home.
Place organic material in a container with a sealed lid.
Run a hose from the top of the container into a second container that is submerged in water.
Run a hose with a tap in it from the second container to a gas cooker.
The biogas is produced in the first container and travels into the second container where it is stored. When you have produced enough gas use the cooker to boil water. Transfer the steam to a turbine generator or steam engine to create electricity. A simple dynamo from a bicycle can be modified. Or a portable wind generator can be used as the turbine.
You can find more about this WTE project here.

Howard stern fans are accustomed to hearing the satellite radio personality rant about the federal government. Now, in an unusual twist of fate, stern and the federal government are on the same side of a lawsuit that highlights not only the importance of maintaining confidentiality of taxpayer information, but also how easy it is to disclose confidential information accidentally or intentionally. And there are some pretty stiff civil and criminal penalties associated with such a disclosure – intentional or not.
Earlier this month, a massachusetts woman sued the IRS, howard stern, and stern's production company for invasion of privacy and negligence.
Apparently, ms. Barrigas called the IRS attempting to resolve some confusion about her tax liabilities and was speaking with agent jimmy forsythe. What ms. Barrigas apparently didn't know was that forsythe called in to the howard stern show and was waiting on hold to talk to howard. Unfortunately for ms. Barrigas, howard picked up forsythe's call while they were still speaking and at least a portion of their conversation could be heard over the air.
The complaint alleges that ms. Barrigas suffered and continues to suffer both financially and physically. Most people would agree that having one's tax matters and personal information broadcast over the radio for anyone listening to hear would not only be quite embarrassing, but could also help someone steal one's identity.
Both massachusetts and the federal government have strict laws that prohibit disclosure of taxpayer return information by the government.Bangladesh money laundering for example, section 6103 of the internal revenue code ("IRC") prohibits government employees from disclosing tax returns or return information except in situations that are carefully spelled out in the statute and corresponding regulations. Generally speaking, return information includes a taxpayer's identity, the nature, source, or amount of his income, deductions, exemptions, credits, assets, liabilities, net worth, tax liability, deficiencies, and other financial data.
An unauthorized and willful disclosure of return information by government employees is a felony pursuant to IRC §7213 that is punishable by up to five years in prison and/or up to a $5,000 fine. It is also a crime for government employees to inspect a tax return without authorization, punishable by up to one year in prison and/or up to a $1,000 fine.
Tax return preparers are also subject to criminal penalties for the knowing or reckless disclosure of return information or for using such information for purposes other than preparing returns.Bangladesh money laundering A violation of IRC §7216 could result in a prison for up to one year and/or up to a $1,000 fine. IRC §6713 imposes a civil penalty of $250 on return preparers who disclose any information furnished to him for the preparation of a return, or uses any such information for any purpose other than to prepare the return. Imposition of the penalty under IRC §6713 does not require that the disclosure be knowing or reckless as it does under IRC §7216.
Individuals in massachusetts also have a statutory right to privacy that is codified in general laws chapter 214 section 1B. To prevail on a claim alleging an invasion of privacy, however, a plaintiff must prove that there was a gathering and dissemination of highly personal or intimate information that resulted in an unreasonable, substantial or serious interference with his privacy.
Judith barrigas' tax disclosure incident serves as a stern reminder of the wide array of tax disclosure laws covering IRS agents, DOR employees and private tax professionals. Privacy and security should be at the forefront for any individual handling the taxes of others. Actively avoiding unintentional disclosure is particularly important in a modern office environment where workers are surrounded by a staggering number of electronic communication devices.

Sweet dark lord of sith!…this is so amazing, Creativedash, a product design and development studio in San Francisco have used Doug Chiang's original concept art of Kylo Ren from the front cover of the Art of Star Wars The Force Awakens; a book which will allow you to step inside Lucasfilm's art departments and see the creation of fantastical worlds, unforgettable characters, and unimaginable creatures from the new film. It looks like Creativedash have a similar creative department as well, who have recreated the cover in this stunning animated Gif using Adobe After Effects and PhotoShop, just look at the subtle effect of the snow hitting the lightsaber… incredible!
We've just got our stunning first look at the cover of the new book, The Art of Star Wars: The Force Awakens— featuring the mysterious Kylo from the Knights of Ren in a digital painting by legendary Star Wars concept artist Doug Chiang.
I have such a fond love for the The Art of Star Wars books, ever since I got my 'first edition' of Star Wars by Carol Titelman back in 1979 with the stunning Pen & Ink drawings by Joe Johnston and Peter Ellenshaw's exquisite matte painting (see below), this love continued with the Art of Empire and Jedi. I even own two from the prequels, which are packed with breathtaking digital visuals created by a team of world-class artist such as Doug Chiang's and the brilliant Erik Tiemens.
…I can't wait to get my hands on this 256-page tome!

(Image provided by Universal Pictures) Rose (Allison Williams) connects with boyfriend Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) in Universal Pictures' Get Out, a speculative thriller from Blumhouse and the mind of Jordan Peele. When a young African American man visits his white girlfriend's family estate, he becomes ensared in a more sinister real reason for the invitation.
The film begins with Chris and Rose, an interracial couple who have been dating for a few months. Rose wishes to introduce Chris to her family, but she has yet to inform them that she is dating a black man. Immediately, Peele sets the stage for racially charged dramatics.
The two eventually make their way to Rose's family home; her parents are characterized as an upper middle-class liberal white family. Upon meeting Chris, Rose's father attempts to dissolve tensions by saying he "would have voted for Obama for a third term" if he could.
Through a series of unfortunate events, the audience learns that Rose and her family have been kidnapping black people so their bodies may be mentally occupied by whites.
This twist is Peele's method for commentating on the fetishizing of the black body. The partygoers in Peele's world study Chris similarly to how slaves were examined for auctions, even concluding festivities by having a bidding war take place for his body. Truly, this is the new-age slave trade.
The genius of "Get Out" lies in Peele's brand of antagonists.
There are no neo-Nazis or Aryan Brotherhood members in this film; to address their blatantly racist rhetoric would be pointless.
Instead, the subjects Peele provides are educated, liberal-minded white people.
"Get Out" breaks free from the humdrum of Hollywood conventionality and denies filmgoers a tranquil coexistence between the two races. There is no coming together—no "Kumbaya" moment. The chasm between blacks and whites is not mended, but is rather widened. Peele drops a bucket of ice water on our heads, and the frigid truth is sure to give you chills.

LaDoFaSil Band Biography
The name "LaDoFaSil" was originally chosen by its members for its double entendre meaning. "LaDoFaSil" not only refers to the Colombian system of solfege, but also means "the easy side" in Colombian slang. The easy side is exactly what the LaDoFaSil Band represents through their music. The band has been steadily gaining fans among South Floridians by providing a unique blend of Latin and Island flavors that are guaranteed to offer a fun and relaxing vibe for the listener. The LaDoFaSil Band was originally formed out of Broward College jazz ensemble rhythm section members, guitarist Javier Urrutia; bassist Joe Stamm; and drummer/percussionist Sebastian Cruz were chosen to back popular Colombian singer/songwriter Lina Maria Gonzalez. With the addition of male vocalist and acoustic guitarist Ricardo Ruiz the band's line-up was solidified and ready for the public. The band debuted with a four month engagement at Archie's Bar and Restaurant in Aventura, Florida as the premier weekly entertainment. The band quickly gained fans while refining their stage performance during their tenure at Archie's. After ending their run at Archie's the band was offered opportunities to perform at both the Weston and Cape Coral Colombian Independence Day Festivals. Subsequently, the band's hard work paid off as they were selected to open for the headlining act; the popular Colombian Artist Fonseca during the 4th Annual Cape Coral Colombian Independence Day Festival. Upon Lina's return to Colombia the LaDoFaSil Band has remained intact performing through out the South Florida Area. Their current line-up consists of Ricardo Ruiz (lead Vocals); recently added Guillermo Navarro (guitar); Javier Urrutia (guitar); Joe Stamm (bass); and Sebastian Cruz (drums). They are currently working on recording original material between bookings for private parties and local clubs.


General Hospital (GH) spoilers tease that Peter August (Wes Ramsey) will hesitate to move forward with Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) when she thinks she's ready for the next level in their relationship, and she will want to know why. As her mother-in-law, Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) unhappily and disapprovingly noted at their celebration meal to remember her deceased husband Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) that she'd removed her wedding ring.
Maxie's obviously realized that Nathan would want her to be happy, and he definitely would want someone to act as a father to James, even if he always has Grandpa Mac Scorpio (John J. York). Technically, Mac is a step-grandpa, but since Frisco Jones (Jack Wagner) was never there for either Maxie or her late sister Georgie (Lindze Letherman) Mac is daddy to her, so he's granddaddy to James! That might make James happy as he grows older, but it doesn't do a lot for Maxie.
Will Peter be able to forgive himself and move forward with Maxie? Time will tell, and keep watching General Hospital and check General Hospital spoilers frequently to see how Maxie and Peter's potential romance blossoms.

No fasting is required in advance of the procedure.
One week before the procedure, if possible, stop all NSAIDs (aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, naproxen sodium, etc.). No fasting in advance of the procedure is required.
At a minimum, our staff require a comprehensive blood panel which we can discuss with you.
During the in-office visit, which only takes a few minutes, patients are brought into the exam room, and the insertion site is numbed. The most common site of insertion is the upper buttocks. A small incision is then made for pellet insertion. Once the pellet is inserted, the insertion site is covered with a small bandage.
After pellet insertion, it's best to eliminate lower body exercise. You can walk, but extraneous activity is not recommended. Swimming, hot tubs, and bathtubs are to be avoided; however, showers are permitted. After removal of the bandage, normal activity may resume.
As each patient's symptoms are unique, so is each patient's path to hormone optimization. Your journey will be customized to fit your specific needs. It takes more than one to two weeks for your hormones to get out of balance, so expect it to take time to resolve.
Since the pellets are bio-identical and contain nothing more than the hormones your body naturally produces, the pellets are completely dissolved and absorbed, leaving nothing behind.

First Team Match Reports
Valiant Wanderers Fall Late Against Victory
Despite a vastly improved performance on a rain soaked evening, the Western Sydney Wanderers fell to a late winner to Ola Toivonen.
Late afternoon rain, thunder and lightning threatened another postponed encounter, but the dark clouds cleared quickly enough to allow play to begin on schedule. Having been widely criticised for their lack of application against Melbourne City, the Wanderers looked much better against the other half of Melbourne in the first half. Markus Babbel handed an A-League debut to fullback Tate Russell and he performed superbly on both sides of the ball.
The Wanderers had most of the chances, in the 2nd minute Bruce Kamau had the ball fall to his feet after a scramble inside the penalty area, he lashed a right footed drive at goal but Victory keeper Laurence Thomas stuck out a hand and blocked the shot. Oriol Riera found an Alexander Baumjohann cross with his head, the out of form striker nodding it wide.
As has been the curse of the Wanderers in the past few years, they failed to turn their domination into a goal, and copped one against the run of play. Mere minutes before half-time, James Troisi slipped the ball into the penalty area past Brendan Hamill, Toivonen bisected the cover defence of Ziegler and Elrich to slide the ball past Janjetovic, who once again showed his predilection for diving early and the wrong way against close range shots.
In the 70th minute, Alexander Baumjohann had a reward for an excellent game when he single-handedly won, and despatched, a penalty. He was manhandled in the box and taken to ground by fullback Storm Roux, and after a number of spot kick misses from Riera, Baumjohann took the ball and rocketed it home even with Thomas diving the right way.
Terry Antonis tried to get Victory level with a blatant dive in the penalty area, it went unpunished by the officials and if there is any justice, he'll receive a ban from the A-League Match Review Panel.
With typical luck of a side fighting at the lower end of the table, the Wanderers copped an unlucky 2nd. James Troisi took advantage of some slow cover defence from Roly Bonevacia to get in behind the defence, he fired across the face of goal, Patrick Ziegler's desperate lunge couldn't clear the ball, and Toivonen was johnny on the spot as it rebounded into his stomach and from there into the back of the net.
Substitue Nick Fitzgerald smashed the post late on, as well as a chance after Thomas missed the ball after running out of his goal, Fitzgerlad shot from a long way out only to have it blocked by a Victory defender on the line.
The 2-1 loss would almost be considered cruel if it weren't for the amount of chances the Wanderers let slip, but they are a team in poor form and that is how football punishes teams who can't put goals away. The positives despite the loss were the introduction of Russell, who appears to be the vanguard for a new batch of Wanderers youth prospects to make their A-League debuts, and the much improved performance of the side against a better team coming off an 8 day break.
Western Sydney face Wellington Phoenix next Tuesday at 7:50 PM at the Sydney Olympic Stadium.
I would of used wasteful instead of valiant...they were valiant, but they wasted the opportunities they created. It's becoming a major concern that we cannot score from open play. Game after game we create chances and it comes to naught.
Babbel in his presser refused to criticise Riera....but he IS the marquee and he needs to produce more. Happy with the game overall and I thought we didn't deserve to lose....thems the breaks.
On the positive side Tate Russell had a great debut and should be in the starting lineup against the Nix on Tuesday.

honestly i am proud of the team for the most part, our finishing is still terrible but the goalkeeper made so many amazing saves so we cant fully blame the players for that and we looked 100 times better than we looked against Adelaide or city and tate looked very good

I'm glad I didn't put down any money on the Victory to win by 2+, but even if I had I would have happily written it off based on that performance. A substantial improvement, even if it was just getting the team to play properly for the entire game rather than the 20-30 minute spells we have witnessed previously. Of the players, I'm liking Kamau more and more, and simply having multiple players agressively move into attacking positions (even if two of them were Riera and Roly) was a very pleasant change. If only we had the players to make the most of the all the goal scoring opportunities that we created...
Finally, it was good to hear people clapping in the stands after the game! That has been absent for quite some time.

What about the head knock Riera took. It affected him tonight.
#ElrichOut. Out of position so many times in the second half.
5 players from our winning NYL team from last season either starting or on the bench: Russell, Majok, Suman, Cordier, Tass. Only other one on a senior team contract missing was Grozos who must still be recovering. Hope he gets a spot soon, most likely an NYL game.
And the only NYL game left for our NYL team to play is against the Smurfs NYL team on the Sunday 27 Jan at 4.30pm at Marconi Stadium. The A-League team plays Brisbane away on the 25 Jan. Potentially another Grandfinal appearance in offing if the boys win. We should make an effort for this game.

If he ( Riera ) was concussed or not right he should or would of been replaced. The authorities do take head knocks seriously. If he wasn't right he could of been replaced at HT. That said he has not been right for a while. He appears to have lost some pace and it was noteworthy that ABJ took the penalty after Rieras recent efforts.
If I was Riera I would take the supposed offer from a Spanish club asap.I will say that I have no malice or animosity towards Riera as a person but on the pitch he is a marquee and was / bought to the club to score goals, Last year he was fine in a team I would class as below this side in standard, as far as I can see we are creating many more opportunities than last season and he is not scoring with more opportunities.
TBH, I though we were OK tonight, just the finishing let us down. Babbel was happy with Tate Russell and said it the culmination of 7 months worth of work that resulted in his debut tonight. He deserves another start and was a positive to take away from the game.
Agree about Elrich. Ithink a few of the older guys will be shown the door at seasons end.....he may be one of them along with Roly and maybe Riera.

I'd have Russell as rb and Cordier as lb next game.

Tate Russell came off the bench against Arsenal in our friendly away game at ANZ!
A League debut.
Kamau needs to bulk up a bit more I reckon. He's knocked off the ball too easily week after week. He puts in a shift but that doesn't go far if you're dispossed with a little shoulder or hip bump every time you're on the ball.

The Riera situation needs sorting. Unsure what is going on in the background with other interest but it is clear to all he is not happy and not in the right space in his head, we are carrying him as a team at the moment and is about as effective as our old friend Pio.
A goal or two for him and perhaps everything changes, we know he has the quality. He looks so far down on confidence it is hard to see where his goal is coming from.
If he has genuine interest from elsewhere and his heart is no longer in ot here then he should go.
Either way it needs sorting out as it is painful watching him mope about.

Great improved effort by the team, the obvious deficiency not putting the ball in the net.
Young Tate Russell had a fantastic first half, very promising, although he did tire to the end but that can be expected to nerves burning up his energy, great shift young man.

Elrich was signed as a backup. Instead he literally has been playing left right and centre for weeks. MB said a couple of weeks ago that Elrich, JoD and Kamau all need a break, but he doesn't have the options on the bench, is is forced to have them play. Considering the circumstances, Elrich should be applauded, not criticised.
Thomas did the same move against Riera in Melbourne. Comes out of the goal, goes for the ball, has his elbow in an angle and it whacks into Riera's head. Too subtle for a red card but very grubby. It may have affected Riera, but I am wondering how we'd go if treejack (resign that man as marquee asap) could pass the ball to a Le Fondre or Fornaroli instead of an off pace Riera.
Fitzgerald is not a starting player because he doesn't defend effectively enough and doesn't backtrack. Apparently he doesn't score either.
Other than that: the young, tired and out of from had the VIC under the pump and could/should have won. Not sure if that's good news but we certainly got a glimpse of the wsw's future last night. However, that Raul is not going to be part of this future, that IS good news.

Fantastic performance Babbel learnt from the first game and we cannot understate the impact of Honda on Victory. However our number 1 issue we cannot score our chances. Fitzy had the best 2 chances in that 2nd half and if he put a bit more height in that shot qould have been 2-1 for us.
Again Tate Russel more game time please. Loves to defend fantastic debut but a few rookie mistakes but easily fixed with more exp

I think the criticism of Elrich is unfair. He was one of our better players last night but fans only want to point out his lack of pace and him costing our second goal, the second goal wasn't entirely his fault.

I don't understand comments like we know rieira has the quality. Can he dribble? No. Has he shown he can score from outside the box? No. Is he lightning fast? No. Strong with his back to goal?

Take away his penalties (which he is poor at also) and what exactly are his marquee qualities? I don't see it, I've never seen it really with him. I'm calling bullshit that he has offers from Spain, his agent wants an extended deal here and it's pretty obvious to me he knows his days are numbered.

It's very easy to demand young blood from the sideline. We saw in Melbourne what happens when boys play against men.
"Will" is not the issue here. MB keeps stressing that - if the older and younger player for one position are at the same level - he'll always play the younger one - but the younger was has to be ready! Had Tate not been ready, had he had a bad game yesterday, the assessment of MB's decision making would be very different, and the player could have been taking a big knock too.
I remember when van Gaal started fielding a 17 year old David Alaba as left back, back in 09/00. How excited everyone was - until Alaba made two crucial errors that resulted in two goals within a few minutes, and a lost game. Alaba didn't play for Bayern again that season, and was loaned out to Hoffenheim for a year or so.

I'm not specifically talking about young blood though. Up until last night, his inability to change any personnel or tactics or structure was baffling. We played 10 weeks of the same average football, getting the same results & the only move he'd make each week is to replace the 3rd & 4th subs on the bench with 2 other players likely to see 0 - 5 mins of game time.
Last night to his credit, he backed Russell, brought on his subs where they had enough time to influence the game, & they did, & he even relaxed his views that Roly can't play CM & Fitz can't play wing... we looked that much better for it. Despite the result it was the first time I've had a smile on my face watching our side for some time.
I probably am being over critical but IMO he needs to adapt to this league a lot better then he has been. Hopefully last night was the start of it.

If you blinked, you might have missed it, but Joe was on tonight's NBC 12 broadcast here in Richmond!
A friend of ours helps to organize this annual event, which they were promoting on the news, and asked if Joe and I would talk a little bit about our experience with it. We've gone every year since Joe was a baby, and we love it.
This is second nature to most kids, but for Joe it's a big step!
He has figured out how to hold and maneuver his little Nuk brush, so that he can chew on it for a good long time with no help. This can lead to all kinds of great things, like 1) not chewing on his fingers or sleeves as much, and 2) eventually feeding himself. Oh, happy day!
Joe is getting a little closer to walking every day!
I'm predicting his first wobbly unassisted steps before his next birthday. But you know Joe likes to keep us guessing!
Yes, I know it's March. But I forgot to do this little roundup for February, so I'm doing it now. I'll do March soon!
Joe gets so excited when we put his favorite video on. We had to get video of him watching it.

Nicolas Régnier, conocido en Italia como Niccolò Renieri (1591–1667), fue un pintor y coleccionista de arte flamenco activo en Italia donde jugó un papel destacado en la recepción y difusión del caravaggismo entre los pintores nórdicos.

Biografía
Nacido en Maubeuge, se formó en Amberes con Abraham Janssens, introductor de las técnicas del claroscuro de Caravaggio en Flandes. Hacia 1615 se encontraba en Italia, pasando por Parma (1616-1617), antes de llegar a Roma, donde se encontraba antes de la Pascua de 1620 como compañero de los caravaggistas nórdicos David de Haen y Dirck van Baburen. En Roma se convirtió en seguidor de Bartolomeo Manfredi, uno de los más directos y personales seguidores de Caravaggio, pero huyendo de las interpretaciones truculentas preferidas por los artistas nórdicos, como el propio Baburen. Por mediación de Manfredi entró en contacto con el marqués Vincenzo Giustiniani, protector y coleccionista de la obra de Caravaggio, para quien realizó numerosas obras en las que se puede observar también la influencia de Simon Vouet, entre ellas la importante Cena de Emaús de Potsdam.

Hacia 1626 se estableció definitivamente en Venecia, donde además de a la pintura se dedicará al coleccionismo y comercio de pinturas y antigüedades, llegando a contar con algunas de las más estimadas obras de Tintoretto, sin desdeñar el comercio con falsificaciones, como el supuesto Autorretrato de Tiziano de la National Gallery de Washington, en realidad una copia, hecha por su yerno Pietro della Vecchia a partir de un original conservado en su colección.

De sus cuatro hijas, Lucrecia se casó con el pintor flamenco Daniel van den Dyck, mientras que Clorinda se casó con el prominente pintor italiano Pietro della Vecchia (1605-1678). Sus hijas eran también pintoras. El hermanastro de Régnier era Michele Desubleo, un artista que trabajaba en un estilo muy similar y cuya obra se atribuye a menudo erróneamente a Régnier y viceversa.

Falleció en Venecia en noviembre de 1667.

Obra
Sus temas incluyen escenas de género con jugadores de cartas, adivinos, músicos, escenas de carnaval, retratos, escenas religiosas, santos y temas mitológicos y alegóricos. Junto con el pintor francés Valentin de Boulogne, Régnier es considerado un seguidor del llamado 'método manfrediano', con el que se hace referencia a aquellos artistas que interpretaron el naturalismo de Caravaggio a través del prisma estereotipado de Bartolomeo Manfredi. El estilo de Régnier se caracteriza por su búsqueda de refinamiento y elegancia, en contraste con los caravaggistas nórdicos como Gerard van Honthorst y Dirck van Baburen, cuyo arte se centra en los aspectos más terrenales de las escenas de género.

En contacto con el ambiente veneciano y la obra de artistas como Guido Cagnacci, pero principalmente como resultado de su conocimiento de la obra del boloñés Guido Reni, Régnier adoptó un estilo más ligero, de refinada y elegante composición y colores brillantes, como puede apreciarse en el San Sebastián del Museo del Hermitage. En Venecia se consagró a la pintura de retratos y retablos (como el del Bautismo de Cristo en la iglesia de San Salvador), en los que con frecuencia contó con sus hijas como modelos.

El Museo del Prado guarda un óleo, Judith con la cabeza de Holofernes, del más estricto caravaggismo, estilo al que también pertenecen algunas otras de sus obras más célebres, como la Buenaventura del Museo de Bellas Artes de Budapest o la Alegoría de la Vanidad-Pandora de Stuttgart, con el refinamiento manfrediano de sus últimas obras romanas.

A deduction in the new tax law is a prime example of how this law is tilted toward the wealthy. Sixty-one percent of the deduction's benefits will flow to the top 1 percent of households in 2024, and it's projected to cost more than $50 billion per year and make up more than a fifth of the tax law's overall cost beginning in 2021.(Photo: PeopleImages / Getty Images) Tax planning experts working for wealthy clients are already developing strategies to take advantage of the 2017 tax law's new 20 percent deduction for certain pass-through income — or income that owners of businesses such as partnerships, S corporations, and sole proprietorships claim on their individual tax returns instead of paying the corporate tax. As one expert recently advised a conference for personal financial advisers: This is, without a doubt, one of the biggest areas of planning that we can have under the new law. This is why, in large part, they should have just renamed the [2017 tax law] the tax professional, lawyer and financial advisor job security act of 2017. The [pass-through] deduction leaves a gaping hole in the tax code, and the goal by the end of the presentation today is to make you guys the bus drivers, or the truck drivers, to drive right through that hole with your clients. Sixty-one percent of the deduction's benefits will flow to the top 1 percent of households in 2024, and it's projected to cost more than $50 billion per year and make up more than a fifth of the tax law's overall cost beginning in 2021. Widespread abuse like what the tax advisor describes could tilt the deduction even more to the top and cost more revenue than previously estimated. New York University law professor David Kamin has dubbed it "one of the worst provisions that's been added into the tax code in the last several decades." The deduction is a prime example of the tax law's three fundamental flaws: it's heavily tilted toward the wealthy, loses much-needed revenue, and opens massive new avoidance opportunities that weaken the integrity of the tax system. It creates an incentive for high-income individuals to convert labor income such as wages into pass-through income to take advantage of a more than 10 percentage point drop in the top individual tax rate when claiming the deduction. The law contains complex "guardrails" to prevent this type of abuse, but they're poorly designed and, when combined with an underfunded IRS, practically invite abuse from wealthy taxpayers. The deduction is fundamentally flawed, and policymakers should repeal it. Our journalists work tirelessly to deliver the news to you every day!

TI previews OMAP 4470 graphics: 50% improvement over 4460

Texas Instruments' new TI OMAP 4470 series system-on-a-chip was revealed earlier, but they gave SlashGear a special look at the new series at CES. Thanks to various improvements in the architecture and efficiency of its chips, the ARM system has some impressive gain in performance, especially in the gaming sector. Advancements are quite impressive: on one benchmark, the new series showed double the framerate in a 3D environment demo.
The games and applications running on TI's development tablets were displayed, and included very impressive gaming performance.Framerates and definition were noticeably smoother, even on the relatively simple animation demonstration. On the TI 4460 (the same processor in the Galaxy Nexus and various other high-end smartphones and tablets) got about 24 frames per second, while the new 44670 got a solid 42. Mobile hardware with the new chipset should start appearing sometime in late Q2 2012.
Various software demonstrations from TI's software partners demonstrated the flexibility of its APIs. A gesture-based cookbook reader (so you don't have to touch the tablet with dirty hands) was particularly effective, and the same technology was used for a controlling a monster tuck game without touching hardware. A WiFi Direct demonstration beamed 1080p video to a TV module while still having full access to Android's tablet interface on the host machine, allowing for true single-device multitasking (AKA couch surfing). We'll look forward to seeing what TI OMAP 5 has to offer in the next generation, which promises to be an even more dramatic improvement.

DAY 1 - 04 Oct 2024
Time at Port: from 7:30 AM to 11 PM
One of Greece's most verdant islands and perfect for a family holiday with charming architecture, an impressive fort and a 16th century church, Agios Spyridhon. Mount Pantokrantor rears up in the north of the island and all around the edges are sandy beaches and small villages. Whether you're here to top up a tan on the stunning Loggas Beach or eager to discover the gorgeous monuments, Corfu has something for everyone.
Things to do in Corfu:
Agni Bay
This hidden gem will provide the perfect getaway from bustling crowds. If you're looking to relax in a quaint fishing village, enjoy traditional Corfiot cuisine on the waterfront and take a dip in the vibrant waters, Agni Bay is the place for you.
Loggas Beach
Surrounded by imposing cliffs, Loggas Beach – otherwise known as Sunset Beach – is one of the most beautiful spots in Corfu. You won't find wild water sports here, instead you'll witness breath-taking sunsets and take a dip in the warm, gentle water.
Saint George Church
Built in 1840 for British troops serving in Corfu, the Church of St George now hosts only two services each year, as well as occasional exhibitions. With views out over Garitsa Bay, this church resembles an ancient Greek temple and provides great photo opportunities.
Vlacherna Monastery
Found on a tiny islet close by to the airport of Corfu, Vlacherna Monastery dates back to around the 17th and 18th centuries. The beautifully preserved building is a great photo opportunity particularly at sunset, and the perfect place to take a romantic stroll.
As Croatia's second-largest city, Split is an integral tourist hotspot in the Adriatic Sea. The unique setting of coastal mountains and bright blue ocean makes for the perfect backdrop to a cruise holiday, while the city itself has a very homely, local feel. Stroll past high-rise, rustic apartments and discover the many hidden gems and highlights such as Diocletian's Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that will leave you in awe.

St Duje's Cathedral
This excellent example of beautifully-preserved ancient Roman architecture is where you'll find the bell tower, treasury and even a crypt. Built in the 4th century, it houses many artefacts, sculptures , carvings and murals.

Campanile Bell Tower
Built in 1100 AD, this beautiful Romanesque bell tower stands at 60 metres tall with sweeping views of the city and mountains. Though this landmark may not be for the faint of heart, climbing the many steps is well worth it to admire the landscape at the top.

A must visit for fans of the hit series, Game of Thrones, Klis Fortress is well worth a visit just for the spectacular views alone. With over two thousand years of history, the ruins are fascinating to explore for all ages and provide fantastic photo opportunities.

St Donatus Church
Founded in the 9th century, the unusually-shaped Church of St Donat no longer serves as a church but holds frequent events and concerts because of its excellent acoustics. Visitors can take a look around inside, though it's impressive structure is best admired from outside.

Customer reviews for Marella Explorer
The ship, the crew, the food and service were fabulous. However, the entertainment i.e. the evening show was pretty dire.
6-10 cruises Balcony Cabin (2 berths)
Good holiday, very relaxing. Booked more tours than usual because done this trip before and know the port areas.
6-10 cruises Inside (2 berths) - Deck 8/9
Buffet restaurant food was very poor, lack of choice. The ship is run like a holiday camp, quite difficult to find some peace and quiet. TUI excursions are far too expensive, rip off. Entertainment amateurish.
10+ cruises Balcony Cabin - Large balcony (2 berths)
Ship is not as new, as some of the bigger ones out there, but is very clean and not as crowded as some of the bigger ones. Food was excellent as was the service we received from every member of the crew. A very friendly ship with plenty of places to sit and relax, with a drink if you so desire.

[ARCHIVED] MML Officially Adopts 2019 Legislative Priority – Small Cells
MML Membership Adopts 2019 Legislative Priority – Preservation of Local Authority to Site Small Cellular Infrastructure
At the annual fall conference, held this year in Annapolis, the MML membership voted to approve the 2019 legislative priority recommended by the Legislative Committee. Unlike in years past when multiple priorities were adopted, for 2019 only one was recommended, largely due to the significant importance of the issue, and ultimately adopted. To many, the small cell issue will look familiar because it was a MML priority in 2018 – retention of municipal authority over siting of small cellular infrastructure.
Wireless telecommunication companies are bolstering their network to meet current and future 4G demand, while also preparing for the potential rollout of 5G as the next generation of cellular communications. Small cells are different from traditional macro cell towers in that, as the name suggests, they are significantly smaller, but can still have significant impact on the community. Some small cells attach to existing utility style poles, while others require new poles. One constant is that they must be deployed in greater quantities because their range is measured in feet or city blocks, not in miles.
The nexus between small cells and municipalities occurs when the placement site is on municipally-owned property or in a municipal right-of-way, which is a common occurrence. MML, along with other stakeholders, including Baltimore City and the Maryland Association of Counties, are actively working to develop a strategy to retain critical authority in this space while expanding or securing new authority as this debate continues.
The federal government has a stated goal of increasing deployment of cellular services and has implemented regulations through the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) as a result. At this time last year, the FCC regulations were relatively lax with a hard limit on shot clocks for processing small cell applications but allowing for reasonable fees. Now, after a vote in September, the FCC has shortened those shot clocks and capped the fees a jurisdiction can charge on applications and on right-of-way usage to a number that is below cost in many areas. This Order is set to go into effect in mid-January, but may be challenged in court prior to then.
Meanwhile, the state bill which was introduced during the 2018 General Assembly session was extremely generous to the industry, but was vehemently opposed by the League and ultimately defeated. The wireless industry has reengaged discussions with MML regarding possible legislation in Maryland in 2019. Their bill would likely seek to create an even more friendly environment for wireless companies than the FCC regulations; a strategy that has worked for the industry in other states and would be a blow to municipal authority.
Municipalities in Maryland need the authority to properly vet applications for small cells; which in some cases may require a hearing to ensure public safety, deliver a transparent process, and judge the viability of a specific location based on community values and aesthetics. In some aspects of the small cell debate, municipalities currently have authority and are looking to preserve it, while in others, municipalities are at risk of losing it, and in still others, municipalities are looking for an expansion of municipal authority.
Many cities and towns have already passed an ordinance or in the process of doing so; and the League encourages our members to continue to work on ordinances as this process plays out. MML has examples of ordinances that can be useful as a template when crafting local legislation. These local laws are meant to demonstrate that the priorities of a community are at risk of being preempted by a one size fits all system.
In addition to the legislative priority, three strategic initiatives are part of the legislative program. Unlike legislative priorities which generally are introduced by a member of the General Assembly in the form of a bill, strategic initiatives can be addressed through other avenues. The three strategic initiatives are opposition to preemption of local government authority in any area; exploration of new revenue streams for municipalities while protecting municipal Highway User Revenue monies to be allocated in the FY 2020 budget; and examining the possible modification of the five-year rule included in Maryland's annexation statute. For more information on the small cell priority issue, or any of the strategic initiatives, please contact a member of the MML legislative team.
