Alex Jones seeks new trial after $1B Sandy Hook verdict
By DAVE COLLINSOctober 22, 2022 GMT

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has asked a Connecticut judge to throw out a nearly $1 billion verdict against him and order a new trial in a lawsuit by Sandy Hook families, who say they were subjected to harassment and threats from Jones' lies about the 2012 Newtown school shooting.
Jones filed the requests Friday, saying Judge Barbara Bellis' pretrial rulings resulted in an unfair trial and "a substantial miscarriage of justice."
"Additionally, the amount of the compensatory damages award exceeds any rational relationship to the evidence offered at trial," Jones' lawyers, Norm Pattis and Kevin Smith, wrote in the motion.
Christopher Mattei, a lawyer for the 15 plaintiffs in the lawsuit against Jones, declined to comment on the filing Saturday, but said he and other attorneys for the Sandy Hook families will be filing a brief opposing Jones' request.
Twenty first graders and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School died in the attack on Dec. 14, 2012.
An FBI agent who responded to the shooting and relatives of eight children and adults killed in the massacre sued Jones for defamation and infliction of emotional distress over his pushing the bogus narrative that the shooting was a hoax staged by "crisis actors" to impose more gun control.

Six jurors in Waterbury, Connecticut, ordered Jones and his company, Free Speech Systems, on Oct. 12 to pay $965 million in compensatory damages to the plaintiffs and said punitive damages also should be awarded. Bellis has scheduled hearings for early next month to determine the amount of the punitive damages.
During the trial, victims' relatives said in often-emotional testimony that they were threatened and harassed for years by people who believed the lies told on Jones' show. Strangers showed up at the families' homes to record them and confronted them in public. People hurled abusive comments on social media. Relatives said they received death and rape threats.
The verdicts came after another jury in Texas in August ordered Jones and his company to pay nearly $50 million in damages to the parents of another slain Sandy Hook child. A third trial over the hoax claims, involving two more Sandy Hook parents, is expected to be held near the end of the year in Texas.
Jones, who has acknowledged in recent years that the shooting did occur, has blasted the lawsuits and trials on his Austin, Texas-based Infowars show, calling them unfair and a violation of his free speech rights.
But he lost his right to present those defenses when the judges in Connecticut and Texas found him liable for damages by default without trials, for what they called Jones' repeated failures to turn over some evidence including financial documents and website analytics to the Sandy Hook lawyers.
With liability already established, the trials in both states focused only on how much Jones should pay in damages.
Pattis, Jones' lawyer, wrote in the motions filed Friday that there was a lack of evidence directly connecting Jones with the people who harassed and threatened the Sandy Hook families. Pattis said the trial resembled a "memorial service, not a trial."
"Yes, the families in this case suffered horribly as a result of the murder of their children," Pattis wrote, adding that Jones did not send people to harass and threaten the families.
"There was no competent evidence offered at this trial that he ever did," he wrote. "Instead, there was a shocking abuse of a disciplinary default and its transformation into a series of half-truths that misled a jury and resulted in substantial injustice."

The Joint Proposal (JP) team in the IEEE 802.11n high-throughput wireless task group has accepted the Enhanced Wireless Consortium (EWC) proposal: This is the penultimate step to the EWC proposal, originally developed outside the main standards process by the four overall largest chipmakers, and which eventually included most parties in 802.11n. Task Group N will produce a standard that uses multiple antennas and a host of other strategies to produce at least 100 Mbps of raw throughput, but more likely 200 Mbps. Net throughput, or real data transferred, will be much higher than the current 50% of raw data passed across.
The JP at the task group was composed of the members of two previously at-loggerheads proposals led (in the least nuanced way I can put this) by Intel on the one side and Airgo, leading MIMO chipmaker, on the other. The EWC proposal had many points of similarity with work in the JP. The acceptance of the EWC proposal by the JP sets the stage for supermajority voting of 75 percent that will allow the JP to become the draft upon which final ratification of the standard is based.
The vote passed the JP group 40 to 0, with two members not casting ballots. The JP includes all major players in the industry.


It's that magical time of the year again! The kids will soon be back at school and you will have your house to yourself. No more running after the kids and yelling for them to be careful, no more cleaning of spilled food on the floor or the table, no more messy baths. You can have your time dedicated to organizing your home and cleaning it, and remembering some facts from school so you can help with the kids' homework. It is wise yo Organize your kids school supplies and teach them to be responsible as well.
Use this time wisely and you can improve your kids' rooms. If you do not like the way their school supplies are organized, or the lack of organization, you can dedicate some of your free time to improve it. Dedicate time and give it the look and order you desire. Teach the kids to be organized instead of leaving your children to just scatter their supplies in the drawers or containers. If you need to go and buy some new stationary supplies, check out companies like Office Monster who do great deals. My friend uses them to supply her office with stationary and she loves using them.
There is no need to worry, if you do not feel like spending a lot of money, you can easily improvise. For example, as we all know kids love drawing and especially the young ones, who also have to practice their writing. They probably have a ton of markers, pens and pencils, and other arts and crafts, and writing supplies. These things seem to never be in order, but you can easily fix that.
If you do not feel like buying tens of new pencil cases, what you can do is re-purpose some of your house items. Things like old tin cans, mason jars, bottles, even muffin tins or some old cardboard boxes (big and small), all of these items can be reused in a way to help you organize your kids' school supplies. Separate their markers, pencils, pens, glue sticks, paint brushes, etc.
If you have more than one kid, you can organize by putting labels with their names on each one, so that they do not fight and each kid has their own jar of markers and learn to be responsible. You can be creative and decorate them in many other ways so that the jars or tin do not look ordinary – use paint, stickers, labels, ribbons whatever tickles your fancy.
If you have a lot of drawers that are filled with scattered school supplies such as post-it notes, tape, glue sticks, rubbers, paper clips or anything else, what you can do is make your own dividers to put into the drawers and organize the small items. You can use again a muffin tin, an egg carton – for the smallest items, or you can get a cutlery divider to put in and use for school supplies organizer.
If you have an old hanging shoe organizer- that too can be used for your kids' school supplies. Everything can go in it – calculators, rulers, pens and pencils, water colors, staplers, scotch tapes, glue sticks, etc.
Separate the drawers for the books and notepads. There are a number of ways you can separate them – by category, by subject, by alphabetical order. Organize the books and notepads in a way to be easily seen and found. Cleaners London suggests you could even use magazine folders or any other similar organizer for the books and the notepads.
There is a way that is probably the easiest, but it is also the laziest in my opinion, and it will not bring any aesthetics into the kids' room, or any pleasure in them when they use their school supplies – which should not happen – but, hey, whatever works for you. And this way is to buy plastic containers and fill all of their school supplies, separate them by category and stack them on top of each other, with labels so that your kids know where to look for when they need something.
Do you think you have some of those jars, lets check them out now, right? Leave us a comment on your organizing skills and utensils that you use while cleaning and organizing. We will enjoy them all.


TIP! A great way to invest in gold is through bullion bars. They are available in various weights.
Any savvy investor should have commodities as part of their investment portfolio. Gold is the best commodity that is out there. Read this article to find out how to invest in gold for retirement or for short-term profits.
Get several opinions about the value of your gold piece before you put it up for sale. Different gold purchasing entities are at your disposal, and they all require different profits from the purchases. If you're able to work with a couple of different places, you can see if you're getting the best deal.
TIP! You may be put off by the price of gold, making you go with gold-plated or gold-filled jewelry instead. You still can get gold jewelry items without spending a lot at a local jewelry store.
Gold prices change all of the time, so make sure you are aware of the value before you try to sell any. If you have made the call to sell any gold you have, group your pieces by karat value. Never sell any jewelry as gold scraps that's worth more than the gold itself due to the designer.
TIP! If you don't have much money to invest in gold, you could start by purchasing scrap jewelry pieces. After a year of buying a little gold each payday, you could end up with a valuable collection of scrap gold.
Research the market price before selling any of your gold jewelry. Gold dealers cannot scam you out of money when you are informed about the value of your items. Dealers typically give a fair price, but there are some unscrupulous ones out there. They may take advantage if they think you want to unload your piece fast.
TIP! If you're selling a gold item that has value beyond its weight in gold, you need to choose whether to sell the piece for its intrinsic value or its melt value. Private sellers and pawn shops just want the melt value.
When at a gold party, talk with the rep about how they make the determination on the karats of the jewelry being sold. Items are usually stamped. However, if there are no visual indications, there are other ways to determine purity. Using an acid test can be a great way to determine the karat of the gold.
TIP! Start your investing journey carefully. Any market has its bad companies, but the gold market is notorious for having a lot of them.
Have some idea of who you are selling to. Check the Better Business Bureau to make sure a gold dealer can be trusted. This will help you find any complaints registered against any gold dealers. If complaints are filed, look for a different dealer.
TIP! How does the seller know what the karat rating is? Many times the item will have a stamp. However, there are some times when there aren't visible signs, so the reps have ways to determine it.
Don't just sell your gold on a whim. Although the price of gold has hit record peaks repeatedly in the lat few years, in the long term it continues to climb over time. If you're able to keep your gold, then you may be able to get more benefits from it later on.
TIP! Those costume earrings you're holding in your hand may have real gold backs or hoops. This is true of earring backings, necklace clasps and the bands of rings.
Gold prices have risen remarkably in the last decade, over four times the price it was just ten years ago ago. The value of the dollar directly correlates the value of gold. If the dollar is weak, the price of gold is higher.
TIP! If you're going to sell your gold to an organization, make sure you look up their BBB rating first. Here, you will find information regarding the business, as well complaints and reviews from people who've dealt with them before.
Since looking at the piece above, you know more about the gold market. Follow this advice to create an excellent investment portfolio or simply earn a little cash. To be successful with gold, keep these tips in mind.

TERRORIZER – Hordes of Zombies CD
@@@.5 Anarchy @'s out of 5
What do the MORBID ANGEL dudes do when they aren't putting the MARILYN MANSON mix to their death metal? They blast out some grindcore and make TERRORIZER albums with their friends in RESISTANT CULTURE.
My first thoughts are 1) the last album kind of blew. Those triggered drums were just too much!, 2) The album title is kind of played out…
My initial response to my first note is that these dudes must have read some of the reviews on that last album and made an effort to correct that weird ass drum sound that plagued the "reunion" album. The drums sound full and punishing. Pete Sandoval is killing it behind the kit on this one, it's nice to hear him do his thing without as much studio "magic".
And to my second point they use zombies as more of an analogy to describe the mindless sheep and general population of this rotting country and the of world as a whole. The cover art is pretty cool with all the zombies staggering through the city, LA I suppose. There is pope zombie, a soldier zombie, a crusty/metal looking zombie and a spikey haired punk rock zombie as well as a slew of others, they are the hordes I take it. There is even the RESISTANT CULTURE symbol spray painted on one of the buildings. In summery I'll let the album title slide…BUT THAT'S IT! No more zombie album covers, songs or record titles after this that has zombies in it by anyone! Yeah…right…
Again since the drum problem was apparently solved we can focus on the rest of the tunes. The mix is pretty damn clean, most of the grit and grime and crust has been wiped away in favor of slick and smooth production. I fear it is a bit too smooth for many and we'll hear a lot of complaints even though the drums have been fixed.
But lets face it folks. This is not 'World Downfall', there was a perfect aligning of the moons and stars that allowed for that classic mix of Death Metal and Grindcore to exist! Jesse (RIP) has moved on, his riffs and style are gone…
Katina had some big shoes to fill and she stepped right up to the plate. Katina is a badass and she lets it rip on 'Hordes of Zombies'. There is no looking back as she rips through more than a dozen headbanging string benders driving the TERRORIZER bus over zombies and sheeple .
The vocals are gruff and rough, always stopping shy of the growl but always intelligible. Anthony doesn't stray far from what he does in RC vocally or lyrically. The lyrics are social and political commentary, but what I always like about his style is that he offers glimpses of hope. His songs are warnings to change our ways, to be aware and cognizant of whom we are and our impact on the environment and available resources.
All in the album is decent but it lacks texture or layers. It is no frills straight up, polished to perfection grind. There are no crazy guitar parts, no freaked out vocals, it's all just kind of flat. There is not much to make one song stand out from the next. I don't know if that's enough in today's world. Some of these young grind bands are doing crazy ass shit that makes this seem really tame in comparison.

Crumbling Wreck of a Concrete Ship
Cape May Point, New Jersey
The scarcity of steel during World War I spurred San Francisco businessman William Leslie Comyn to build ships out of a counter-intuitive substitute -- concrete. The same stuff that was used to fashion cement overshoes for Mob victims actually floats when it's shaped like a boat.
The S.S. Atlantus was one of a dozen concrete ships that were built, and it criss-crossed the Atlantic several times, hauling cargo and troops. But when steel again became available, the S.S. Atlantus was mothballed.
In 1926 she was docked in Cape May when a storm broke her loose and ran her aground, just off of Sunset Beach. She couldn't be pried off of the bottom because she was made of, well, concrete. For the last 90+ years her slowly crumbling hulk has been a tourist attraction, although not much of her is left above water.
Sunset Blvd, Cape May Point, NJ
Drive south to Cape May, then turn right onto Bank St./Jackson St. Jackson St. turns into Perry St., which turns into Sunset Blvd. Take Sunset Blvd two miles until it ends at a parking lot on the beach. The ship is just off-shore.

What do you like most about working at Konnect?
I get real satisfaction from helping business owners to increase their revenue from online marketing. Most business owners, managers and executives we work with have little to no understanding about any of the digital strategies we use and where they should spend their marketing dollars. I enjoy working with our clients to understand their business and to show them how we can drive more traffic to their business.
I love spending those warm summer days down at the beach with my two daughters. Second to that, whenever I can find the time I'll be out on a golf course playing a round of golf with my mates.
What's the worst mistake brands make with their online marketing?
Their website - it's just as important as their store front, yet too often, little consideration is given to how it's going to serve their potential customers.
Most websites I see don't provide prospective customers with the information they're searching for in a way that's easy to find. And it makes the potential opportunity that's there to do business too difficult. Customers are becoming increasingly savvy with the way they research, find, and inevitably decide on the products and services they choose to purchase. The sooner businesses understand that and allocate funds and resources to their website accordingly, the more profitable they'll be.
What can we usually find on your desk?
Amidst the obvious things, you'll find artwork that my daughters have created at school. If i'm being honest, it's the only place it's worth displaying - but don't tell them that.
If you could interview anyone who would it be?
I'd have to narrow that down to my interests in sport, politics and business. If I could interview any sportsperson, it'd have to be Ussain Bolt. The guy is a genuine freak - but it's his overly charismatic and likeable character that I'm drawn to. If I could interview any politician, it would have to be Vladimir Putin. He is portrayed as being a bit of a lunatic but he is not your typical politician, so he would be interesting to meet and get insight into. From a business point of view, I'd be really interested to interview Jeff Bezos, the founder and CEO of Amazon. What he has created with Amazon blows my mind and in many ways has inspired my own business endeavours.


Super Bomberman R just got a new update, and it brings some classic Konami characters like Pyramid Head into the fold.
Konami released update 1.4 for its Nintendo Switch launch title Super Bomberman R. This patch brought new maps, Team Battles, and new accessories to the game, but interestingly also added Pyramid Head from Silent Hill 2, Simon Belmont from Castlevania, and Vic Viper from Gradius as playable characters.
Each of the three new characters, who were teased back in April, has their own special ability to help them in battle. Pyramid Head Bomber can obliterate enemies instantly upon contact, while Simon Belmont Bomber can draw in characters and bombs from far away with his whip, and Vic Viper Bomber has a super-fast movement speed.
A I mentioned before, Team Battle is now available as a Battle Rule. In this mode, players can create their own teams and face other ones from around the world. Players also have the ability to set up to 4-team Battles, as well as 1v4 to gives themselves a real challenge. The new maps added are Plain Floor, Desert Fort, Classic Conveyor Belt, and Panic Factory, and they each have their own unique twist to change up the Super Bomberman R formula. All of these new things are unlocked through the game's shop by using free gems.
You can check out the full list of patch notes and some screenshots of the new maps below. Super Bomberman R is currently available exclusively on the Nintendo Switch.
Team Battles – Players can create their own teams to battle against other players from around the world. Once all other team colours have been wiped out, the last team standing declares victory. Set 3-team or 4-team battles, as well as 1v4 to create the ultimate challenge!
Classic Conveyor Belt – The well-known conveyor belt from past series is back!
Konami revealed new character DLC for Nintendo Switch exclusive Super Bomberman R today that taps into some of their recently dormant properties.


Brock University Recreation Services gave out free pedometers last week for "Walktober", in order to raise awareness for an active lifestyle.
Students, staff and faculty members were encouraged to pick up one of the pedometers from the Walker Complex Welcome Desk and then tweet their total steps each day to @BrockRecService with the hashtag #Walktober. It was an awareness event to get people to see how many steps they take in a day and to make them aware how active they are.
"I think pedometers are cool to begin with," said Scott Robertson, an MA student in Applied Health Sciences, who participated in Walktober. On October 30, he was already at 7,000.
Around 400 pedometers went out and from the people who tweeted their step count, prizes were given to two randomly selected winners. The small devices even had a personalized 'Brock Badgers' label.
Pedometers are, in fact, more interesting than they sound. Modern pedometers are generally partly electronic with a small metal pendulum attached to an electronic wiring circuit. In order to calculate a person's step, the pedometer actually measures the swing of a person's body as they move one leg forward. As a step is taken, the pendulum swings back and forth with the momentum of the step. With each swing, the pendulum closes the circuit to enable a flow of energy, which then registers as one step on the electronic dial of the pedometer.
Walktober is an iniative held all across the world to encourage people to get more active with something as simple as walking. At Brock, it ran two years ago but not last year due to understaffing issues. This year, Recreational Services decided to hold it for only one week instead of the whole month since Reading Week tends to interrupt participation.
For Walter, the key to a healthy lifestyle is to just start with something and then go from there.
Recreational Services is also involved with BUSU's Wellness Week and occasionally offers free fitness classes to continue raising awareness and encourage people to get active. Next semester, they will be running a big initiative for their fitness programs. Students and staff are encouraged to join one or more of the variety of fitness and exercise classes offered and a big prize draw will be held for those who reach a certain minimum attendance.

}
ul li{

ul li.active a{

A: The question is a bit unclear with reference to "glitch", but I think I understand your problem. There are a few things missing in the CSS to construct the basic dropdown.

*

*The first level li should have 'position: relative' set

*The second level ul should have a 'position: absolute' set

*You will need to hide the nested ul by default, and then reveal on hover.

I'm sure there are many references to how to construct a proper CSS menu dropdown, below is some basic modifications that show the fundamental concept.

ul{
  list-style-type: none;
  margin-top:10px;
  padding: 0;

ul li{
  display:inline-flex;
  position: relative;
}

ul li ul {
  position: absolute;
  display: none;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;

ul li:hover ul {
  display: inline-block;
  top: 3.7rem;

}

ul li ul li a {

DAIRY HYGIENE Milk sampling is the one sure way of identifying causes of increased Somatic cell counts on farm. By identifying the relevant bacteria present enables you to make appropriate decisions in combatting future mastitis problems and enables you to select products suitable to combating the bacteria present. We are offering this service free of charge backed up with on farm trouble shooting from GEA personnel.
HOME & DRY We are seeing a significant increase in the use of Home & Dry for treating grain this season. Farmers looking to cut costs on bought in feed are seeing the advantage of treating grain direct from the combine. Also no other product can reliably convert a 60% starch grain into an alkaline feed while increasing the protein by 4.5%. We are sourcing grain direct from the combine whole or treated delivered to your yard for more details contact us.
ABERCHOICE: highest yielding and highest DM late diploid on the Irish recommended list.
ABERGAIN: highest yielding spring and total growth of the entire recommended list.
TYRELLA: highest spring yielding late diploid on the Irish recommended list.
All Grass seed Mixes come with or without clover. All three varieties are late heading.
Why is Home & Dry growing in popularity year on year?
Simple, it does exactly what it says on the tin.
This is the 13th season for the farm Store selling this grain and wholecrop additive and we are still selling it to the same famers we did at the start.
Grain straight from the combine has always been the cheapest source of starch for livestock but with limiting factors.
•	Moisture content an issue for long term storage and associated drying cost.
•	Grain mites can be problematic.
•	High acid load for ruminants when fed straight (grain has a PH of 3.5).
So how does Home & Dry Work?
Grain is taken direct from the combine at full maturity (unlike crimp) 16 – 22% moisture.
30kg of Home & Dry are added at the point of rolling and placed in a pile covered down with polythene for 2 weeks.
It isn't necessary to roll the grain at this point if there is a roller on the farm and can be completed as required.
•	The 30 kg Home & Dry is converted into Ammonium bicarbonate.
•	This raises the protein in the grain by 4.5%.
•	PH of the grain increase from 3.5 to 8 making it suitable for higher intakes and less acidosis.
•	Kills any moulds eliminates heating.
•	Prevents any mites from entering the grain.
•	Vermin and birds are not attracted to the grain as a result of the ammonia smell.
•	Alkaline PH provides a buffer to improve rumen function.
Cutting wholecrop and adding Home & Dry is also an option particularly where you need a high DM feed.
It is an excellent complement for beet and maize due to its high fibre content, high DM, increased PH and increased protein.
We have also treated straw with Home & Dry which eliminates labour of chopping straw throughout the winter as it is chopped going into pit with forage harvester and again has all the characteristics of grain and wholecrop discussed above.
Many of you are now familiar with the Home & Dry process used for preserving grain or wholecrop while also increasing the protein content. This whole process is achieved by releasing Ammonia rapidly into the grain and therefore produces Ammonium bicarbonate, this acts as a buffer in the rumen as the whole process takes grain with a pH of 3.5 to an Alkaline pH of 8 improving rumen function and consequently animal performance.
Now Fivef have moved the technology a step further by introducing AlkabupHa.
AlkabupHa is a mini pellet which is added to the TMR at the point of mixing.
The majority of our forages have a pH level below 4 due to fermentation and high levels of lactic acid are produced, (this is even more prevalent this year with wet acidic silage) we then add cereals in the form of compound which further increase the acid load.


Sometimes clients get confused by the fact there are two types of spousal maintenance in Arizona: modifiable and non-modifiable. When first considering the differences, it might seem they're not too unlike each other. The differences are subtle and boil down to how confident the parties to a divorce are about their future finances.
Each type of spousal maintenance in Arizona warrants review, as there are important distinctions between them that could dictate years of your life.
Spousal maintenance in Arizona is a discretionary award that can be assigned in divorce cases. It's not typically awarded in cases where the marriage was of a short duration.
However, in some extraordinary cases, even a marriage of short duration can be overcome by the court finding the other spouse has reasonable needs that should be met.
Courts have a two step approach in deciding issues of spousal maintenance. First, the court considers whether one spouse is entitled to spousal maintenance. Under A.R.S. 25-319, the Court looks to the length of the marriage, ability to pay, ability to remain self-sufficient, and amount contributed to the educational opportunities of the other spouse (see our further discussion here). Some courts consider other factors as well, but unlike other states, Arizona courts do not consider marital misconduct in awarding spousal maintenance.
If the court finds maintenance is in order, it will then consider the amount and duration of the maintenance. In Arizona, there is no guaranteed formula the court will follow. The dynamic of spousal maintenance is decidedly fact-based based on the circumstances of each situation. Widely different orders can be entered by the same judge on the same day.
Once an order of spousal maintenance is entered, the Court has the right to modify the award if, at any time before the award should end, justice would require the modification. This means that if one party were to lose their job or require more money for another compelling reason, the parties could find themselves back in court.
Some parties seek non-modifiable spousal maintenance. This means that the parties waive the right for the Court to review the maintenance award in the event of a substantial change. Objectively, this can be a risky agreement; there's no telling what needs you might have in just a few months.
Despite the risk, there are many reasons to seek non-modifiable spousal maintenance in Arizona. One compelling reason is consistency of the obligation you expect to receive, especially if you'd rather know exactly what you face in the years ahead than live with the idea that your financial requirements might change. Additionally, knowing what you have to pay can make budgeting much easier.
Another reason parties may agree to non-modifiable support is employment-based. The chance that one party begins making more money could put the spousal maintenance award in jeopardy if brought back to court. The fact that parties lock in the spousal maintenance regardless of the employment changes they encounter might be good in some instances, and it also brings us to the primary risk that non-modifiable spousal maintenance presents.
Regardless of the reasoning behind agreeing to non-modifiable support, once agreed upon, the Court won't consider a change in circumstances. So even if you lose your job and your ex gets a raise, you'll be set to the same amount you've been getting since the agreement was made. People with volatile employment run the risk of falling behind on their payments. This situation can be catastrophic for clients.
This can also be frightening; so many aspects of our lives can become unstable with divorce. Though you might be able to keep everything together for the length of the case, who knows what will happen when an unforeseen medical issue arises or you lose your job.
Just because there are some risks associated with non-modifiable spousal maintenance doesn't mean it should always be avoided. It can be a high-risk, high-reward negotiation tactic. By considering a non-modifiable award, you might open up new avenues of compromise. Not only that, but a non-modifiable agreement provides more financial security and can keeps legal costs down. And sometimes, a bit of extra risk is worth getting the property that would otherwise be considered a community asset.
Just try not to lose your job.

Rutgers Coach's Roots Trace to St. Francis
By Jim Mancari
It's an unfortunate fact that most people never get their dream job. For those that do, they certainly consider themselves lucky.
However, Rutgers University, Piscataway, N.J., head football coach Kyle Flood has been fortunate enough to be hired to his dream job twice.
Long before taking the helm of the Scarlet Knights, Flood taught mathematics and coached football at his high school alma mater, St. Francis Prep, Fresh Meadows. At the time, he considered that his dream job, but his success as a teacher and coach allowed him to rise through the ranks to his current dream job at Rutgers.
Flood, 42, grew up attending St. Robert Bellarmine School and parish, Bayside. He always had a love of sports and played CYO basketball and baseball for St. Kevin's parish, Flushing.

From there, it was on to St. Francis Prep, where his older brother Jerry was a junior. No one in Flood's family had ever played football, but he was determined go out for the team and played under legendary Prep head coach Vince O'Connor.
Flood was an offensive lineman on the freshmen, junior varsity and varsity teams during his four years at St. Francis. One of his fondest memories was winning the CHSFL championship as a senior in 1988, in which the L'il Terriers earned a 10-7 double overtime victory over Msgr. Farrell H.S., Staten Island.
Flood also played basketball as a sophomore on the Prep's junior varsity team. Though he didn't see the court all that often, he said the lessons he learned from his coach, Pat McLaughlin, have stuck with him to this day.
"A lot of what my demeanor is on the field now and with the players comes from Pat McLaughlin," Flood said. "I always looked up to him. [Playing on the JV basketball team] was something that changed my life and really cemented the feeling that this is what I want to do for a living. I want to teach for a living."
Flood then majored in mathematics at Iona College, New Rochelle, N.Y., where he also played four years of football – serving as team captain his senior year. Upon graduation, he had a teaching job lined up at Herbert H. Lehman H.S., the Bronx, but a unique series of events landed the 22-year-old at the Prep.
Flood was hired as an assistant football coach on O'Connor's staff, but a few weeks before school started, Flood's father, Jerry Sr., happened to meet then-St. Francis Prep athletic director, Brother Robert Kent, O.S.F., in the bank. Brother Robert said that Prep's math department had an opening and that Kyle should apply.
Sure enough, Flood got the job at St. Francis just 10 days before school started. He taught two algebra and three trigonometry classes.
"The thing that got me through was that all of my math teachers from high school were still in the math department," he said.
Flood recalls the positive influence that his math teachers – Lorraine Smith, Mike Donovan and Sister Margaret Donnelly, R.S.M. – had on his life. He was also grateful to Sister Mary Ann Napier, C.S.J., who was the math department chair during his four years as a teacher there.
"Now that I'm in a position of management, I remember the way she (Sister Mary Ann) treated me and held me to a very high standard," Flood said. "I think the combination of those two things made me a better teacher."
Flood believes his time as a teacher prepared him well to become a football coach. As a math teacher in particular, he became adept in problem-solving techniques, and he also learned proper methods of organization and presenting material descriptively yet concisely.
"That part has been very much a help to me in translating from being a high school teacher to a football coach," Flood said. "We spend almost as much time in those meeting rooms as we do out on the field actually doing the physical part of practice."
After coaching at St. Francis, Flood was the offensive line coach at the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University, Brookville, L.I.; Hofstra University, Hempstead, L.I.; and the University of Delaware, Newark, Del. He then spent seven years at Rutgers before being named the 29th head coach in program history in March, 2012 after his predecessor, Greg Schiano, was hired as the head coach of the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
"I never thought I'd be coaching college football," Flood said. "I thought I'd be at St. Francis Prep still, to be honest."
Flood had never been a head coach at any of his previous stops, but he felt like he was ready to take the next step in his career, especially with the mentors he's had along the way.
"Being a head coach is a little like being a parent," he said. "You can get as prepared as you want, but until you do it, you don't really understand what it means and how to do it. This first year has been a great learning experience for me."

The Scarlet Knights finished 9-4 in Flood's first season, with a 5-2 record in Big East Conference play. Rutgers will be joining an even more competitive football conference, the Big-10, for the start of the 2014 season.
As soon as he got the job at Rutgers, Flood remembered how Coach O'Connor took a genuine interest in every player on his team, no matter that player's role. He now incorporates that methodology into his own coaching philosophy.
"When he (O'Connor) was talking to you, you were the most important person in his world," Flood said.
In addition to learning under O'Connor, Flood developed a strong foundation in faith at St Francis. He said that he has taken pride in the fact that he went to the Prep and that many of the people that helped him along the way have all been affiliated with Catholic schools.
"Faith gives you the understanding that there is a plan," he said. "If you do everything you're capable of doing, the rest will all get taken care of."
Flood said he hopes that plan includes remaining at Rutgers for the rest of his coaching career. Even with all his success on the sidelines, he has not forgotten his St. Francis roots.

With a world-class arts scene and the largest arts district in the country, it comes as no surprise that Dallas was selected as the first American city to be featured in Moving Cities, an internationally acclaimed short film project that celebrates the marriage of dance in transportation in major cities around the world.
Shot during three weeks in September 2016, Moving Dallas is an 8-minute film featuring 17 locations and 56 dancers from 10 dance companies and organizations. Included in the video are Dallas art scene staples like Dallas Black Dance Theatre, Bruce Wood Dance Project, Dance Council of North Texas, TITAS and, of course, the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, among others.
Visionary British director Jevan Chowdhury brought the idea to Dallas, noting the city's vibrant growth, amazing architecture and rich cultural landscape of working artists.
"Dallas, a mythical city rich in American legend, has accelerated full speed into this century," said Chowdhury. "Big cars, trucks and skylines – it truly is a stage for amazing dance talent."

United States v. Leatch
Opinion Date: June 6, 2017
Judge: Costa
A court does not depart under USSG 4A1.3 when calculating a defendant's applicable guideline range, but instead departs from the applicable guideline range under section 4A1.3 after having calculated that range. After defendant's 262 month sentence for trafficking in crack cocaine was reduced to 235 months, he argued that he should have received a greater reduction to account for the downward departure based on overrepresented criminal history that the district court awarded him at his original sentencing. The Fifth Circuit rejected defendant's contention that a district court's inability to impose the previously-applied departure violated United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 (2005); no ex post facto violation occurred here, as the amendment to the USSG 1B1.10 commentary did not have the effect of retroactively increasing the punishment for an offense; and the court rejected the argument that Congress's instructions that the Sentencing Commission determine whether and when a sentencing reduction should apply violated the separation of powers. Furthermore, defendant failed to establish that the district court's inability to reapply the departure violated res judicata or collateral estoppel, and depriving defendant of the departure would not undermine the sentencing goal of proportionality between himself and his codefendants. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.


While it's not exactly a free font, Shruti true-type font can be just the thing - assuming you're trying to write to someone fluent in Indian dialects.
Not intended as a free font, Shruti was created exclusively for Microsoft by Raghunath Joshi (the Type Director) and Santosh Kshirsagar. Now in it's fifth version (it was created in 2006) it is used for the Indic script "Gujarati." However, if you go to the font website at Microsoft on a Mac, while you'll be able to see the images of the font, you won't actually be able to "try" the font out.
While it was originally designed as a user-interface font, the type is in TrueType format, including a bolded version and outlines. This means that you can use it for things like brochures, and also you can license it for embedding in websites and applications. Originally the font was not available for Macs, and this caused a lot of difficulty especially in academic circles, where people in India were trying to send papers and more to Western Macintosh users (Macs are commonly used in educational circles). However, it is now available from the AscenderFonts website for either PC or Mac at the low price of $99.
Since it wasn't designed to be a free font, Shruti-type fonts obtained from other websites have to be a bit suspect. Many sites will offer the font and others such as Helvetica, but many of them are scams. For example, one called "u-fonts" shows the "free font Shruti" almost identically as portrayed on the MicroSoft page. There are examples, information, and even another "try-before-you-buy" window (though this is supposedly just "try-before-you-download").
There is even a security box where you have to type in a number image to prove that you are really a person before clicking the download link. However, when you do click on that link, suddenly an obnoxious "find free businesses in your area" type of page comes up, covered with ads and even some automatically playing videos that blare loudly from your computer. It's an example of the worst type of spam. It's probably better to simply fork over the money for the authentic version of the font and avoid any malware or viruses that might be hiding in other "free" websites.
Once you have the font downloaded, you do still have to actually install it on your machine before you can use it in any applications. The process is much simpler than it used to be - in fact, on a Mac you can simply double-click on the font and open the "Font Book" app, which will let you see the font, control who uses it and with which applications. If the applications are open when you install the font, you will probably have to re-start them before Shruti is actually available for you to use.
On a Windows machine, the process is slightly different.
Aside from actual correspondence, the Shruti font can also be used for decoration on any Indian-themed document, like a poster. With the growing number of Internet users from India, as well as the popularity of Indian culture as it spreads throughout the world, even as a not-free font Shruti is a valuable asset to any writer or designer.

Q: How to get dataTextField instead of dataValueField in Dropdownlist in asp.net mvc? I've sent the viewbag for a cardtype dropdown in a form as follows :
var CardType = CommonService.GetCardType();
        ViewBag.CardType = new SelectList(CardType, "Id", "CardType");

Now I'm trying to save it in the database as follows :
IdCardType = model.IDCardType;

This code saves the dataValueField (i.e. "Id"), but I need to save the dataTextField (i.e. "CardType") and I don't know how to do that.
 Can anyone help me out here ?
Thanks


It could be a disposable transdermal pump.
Researchers have created a new type of miniature pump activated by body heat that could be used in drug-delivery patches powered by fermentation.
The micropump contains Baker's yeast and sugar in a small chamber. When water is added and the patch is placed on the skin, the body heat and the added water causes the yeast and sugar to ferment, generating a small amount of carbon dioxide gas. The gas pushes against a membrane and has been shown to continually pump for several hours, said Babak Ziaie, a Purdue University professor of electrical and computer engineering and biomedical engineering.
Such miniature pumps could make possible drug-delivery patches that use arrays of "microneedles" to deliver a wider range of medications than now possible with conventional patches. Unlike many other micropumps under development or in commercial use, the new technology requires no batteries, said Ziaie, who is working with doctoral student Manuel Ochoa.
"This just needs yeast, sugar, water and your own body heat," Ziaie said.
"It would be easy to fabricate because it's just a few layers of polymers sandwiched together and bonded," he said.


"In this time of multimillion-dollar vineyard estates and celebrity winemaking consultants, when it seems that financial backing has replaced skill as the key to success in enology, it is rare that a simple idea can give birth to wines that stand out for flavor and balance, rather than pedigree alone. Waterstone Winery was formed in 2000 with the simple concept of creating luxury wines at affordable prices. Bringing together previously established relationships with Napa Valley growers and vintners, the winery set out to develop balanced wines of varietal character through intelligent sourcing. Preferring to focus on the wine itself rather than the accumulation of land and facilities, Waterstone owns no vineyards, nor does it own the facility where their wines are made. Dedicated winemaking, strong relationships with top growers and long-term grape contracts are the keys to Waterstone's quality and success."
James Suckling 89"Blackcurrants, grass and some red berries. Medium to full body, some tangy fruit and a fruity finish. A little weedy. Drink now."
James Suckling 90"A red with lots of dried fruit, spice and walnut character. Full and chewy. Long and flavorful. A little overdone but it pulls together at the end. Drink in 2020."
Wine Enthusiast 91 "This is a floral, zesty and vibrant white wine, given six months in French oak, half of it new. With a complex hit of briny salt and citrus, it flirts between layers of savory and sweet, finding just the right balance of structure and acidity."
James Suckling 93" This is amazing value in California Cab. It's hard to believe. Aromas of fresh herbs with currants and blueberries as well as mint. It's full body with velvety tannins and a juicy finish. Lots of fruit but not overdone and not over alcoholic. Drink and don't worry."


Mexican authorities have banned Maya spiritual leaders from performing ceremonies at their ancestral temples, which are about to be overrun by a curious assortment of conspiracy theorists, dooms-dayers, new-agers and well-intentioned tourists who just want to be apart of the festivities.
The Ceremonies are meant to mark the end of the Maya long-count calendar, which began 13 Baktun (cycles) ago. Under the Greco-Roman Calender, that's about 3112 BC.
Contrary to popular (mis)belief, the end of the long-count calendar is being viewed as something positive. As Mayan priest Jose Manrique Esquive recently pointed out, the current Baktun, which began around 1618, has been drenched by a continuous reign of misery that included the introduction of European disease, culture and language being erased and entire populations being extinguished.
Despite their intentions, the government is refusing to let any Maya traditional perform their ceremonies inside Chichen Itza, Coban, Tulum and other sites that their ancestors built.

Milan, Lombardy, IT (186 m NHN)
Friedrichshafen, Baden-Württemberg, DE (420 m NHN)
Die Tour kombiniert den Po Radweg von Mailand bis Ostiglia. Dann zweigt sie in den Via Claudia Augusta Radweg ab bis Füssen. Dort führt sie durchs Allgäu bis nach Friedrichshafen.
Dem Po entlang komplett flach und trocken. Ab Verona fängt es langsam an Hügelig zu werden um dann im Allgäu nur noch auf un ab zu gehen.
Grundsätzlich sollte die Tour umgekehrt gefahren werden, doch als ich gestartet bin hat es im Allgäu geregnet so dass ich kurzerhand die Tour gedreht habe. Hat sich gelohnt, hatte keinen Tropfen Regen abbekommen.
Travel to and from ...
Mit dem Zug von Zürich nach Mailand. Direktverbindung, Fahrradtransport kein Problem.

Centro Storico di Milano
IT-20122 Milano
Heritage building(s)
The Centro Storico is the historic centre of the city of Milan, contained within the area once delimited by the medieval city walls and today by the streets forming the Corso Navigli easily distinguishable on the map of the city. Centro Storico encompasses Milan's perhaps most famous landmarks and tourist attractions, including the Duomo (cathedral), Galleria Vittorio Emmanuelle shopping arcade and the Teatro alla Scala opera house. Compact in size and easily walkable, the Centro Storico is just as full of historic monuments as it is of designer boutiques and showrooms, restaurants and caffes - you will find almost all one comes to find in Milan for within not more than a quarter's walk.
The defunct old Milan district of "Centro Storico" included a broader area; the area covered in this guide corresponds to the Quartiere 101 - Duomo of the present-day Zona 1.
⊙ Duomo (Cathedral), Duomo Square (metro lines MM1 or MM3 Duomo Station; or with many buses and trams). Cathedral: 08:00-19:00 (Aug 2016). Roof terraces: 09:00-19:00 (box office closes 1 hr earlier). The Milan's cathedral is a massive late Gothic church (started in 1386) in white marble, with hundreds of spires and thousands of statues on its exterior and a famous façade. Don't miss the chance to climb up onto the roof and enjoy the spectacular views of the city between the Gothic spires. Taking pictures inside the cathedral is supposedly prohibited; however, the attendants rarely stop anyone doing so. Unless you are physically unfit, it is best recommended to take the stairs (250 steps only) and save €4. On an average it should not take more than 5–6 minutes to climb the stairs. Before lining up to climb up the stairs buy your tickets in advance at the ⊙ ticket office. Does also include a museum displaying the 700-year-old history of construction of the cathedral, with impressive walk-in wooden models, façade designs originating from several centuries, sculptures and more.
Warning: at the moment (March 2018) visiting inside the Duomo cannot be recommended. This is because to actually get in you have to go through a painfully slow and annoying security check, performed by Italian army officers who are usually overzealous and unfriendly. You'll usually have to queue for about 60-90 min. to reach the checkpoint; there your person and your belongings will be mercilessly searched, and if any forbidden item is found it will be taken and thrown away. You may feel you're being treated like an offender. Moreover, the list of restrictions and regulations you have to obey is impressive: check it at the ticket office. If you still want to go, allow 1-2 hours to buy your ticket and reach the entrance, and 10-20 minutes to see the interior. The nearby Duomo museum is a better choice: same €3 ticket, no queuing, no fuss, no security nonsense. Cathedral:€ 3. Roof terraces: on foot - €9, by lift - €13; Museum: €3 (same ticket as the cathedral); Archeological area: €7. (updated Mar 2018)
⊙ San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore (Saint Maurice), Corso Magenta, 15, ☎ +390220404175. A must-see! A stunning fully frescoed renaissance church. Most of the paintings are the work of Bernardino Luini. Free.
⊙ Basilica di Sant'Ambrogio (Saint Ambrose), Piazza San Ambrogio (subway MM2 Sant'Ambrogio). A beautiful and huge Romanesque church which was almost destroyed by allied bombing in World War II, although some of its mosaics left well preserved.
⊙ Basilica di San Lorenzo Maggiore (Saint Lawrence) (tram, or the Missori Metro Station). A lovely 4th-century basilica, perhaps is one of the oldest basilicas in Western Europe. It is famous for its beautiful courtyard, with Roman-age columns and statue of the emperor Constantine. The columns, Colonne di San Lorenzo (St. Lawrence's colonnade), are actually a remain of the Roman "Mediolanum", dating from the 3rd century AD. Further south the square you can see Medieval Porta Ticinese (there is also a homonymous newer gate which lies about 600 m south by Corso di Porta Ticinese).
⊙ Ambrosian Library (Biblioteca Ambrosiana), Piazza Pio XI, 2, fax: +39 02 80692 210. Historical library that also houses the Ambrosian art gallery with treasures such as Leonardo Atlantic Codex.

⊙ Bagatti Valsecchi Museum (Museo Bagatti Valsecchi), Via Gesù 5 (between via della Spiga and via Montenapoleone; subway MM3 Montenapoleone Station, MM1 San Babila Station, trams lines 1 and 2 Montenapoleone stop). Tu W F-Su 13:00-17:45pm, Th 13:00-21:00. A late 19th century aristocratic mansion with Italian Renaissance art collections. €9.

⊙ Via Dante. One of the grandest and most frequented fashionable high streets in Milan. The Via Dante, named after the poet, is a beautiful and debonair pedestrian avenue which goes from the busy Piazzale Cordusio, all the way to the Largo Cairoli, just in front of the city castle. With loads of street vendors, restaurant and cafe tables, and often, street art, glamorous boutiques and often bustling with people, it's great for anyone who wants to get to the Sforzesco Castle, but who also wants to do some high-class shopping, observe at some glorious Milanese palaces, and possibly sip at a coffee in one of the many open-air bars. It also contains the Piccolo Teatro, a renowned local theatre. At times, especially Christmas and some of the holidays, it can be chokingly filled with locals, shoppers and tourists.
⊙ Corso Vittorio Emanuele II (near to the Duomo; Duomo metro station or that of San Babila). One of the most popular high street shopping arteries in the city. It has a very elegant modern appearance, but too has some well-preserved grand 18th- and 19th-century buildings, including a rotunda-like neoclassical church. The Corso contains some great retail stores, including big shopping centres, fashionable outlets, and youthful, sporty designer boutiques. It is pedestrian.
⊙ Via Manzoni (Montenapoleone metro station or tram). Impressive refined-air street lined with aristocratic apartment blocks and opulent churches. It also hosts the Poldi Pezzoldi museum. Today, it is also one of the city's premier shopping streets, and is noted for containing the Armani Megastore. It is very close to La Scala opera house.
⊙ Via della Spiga (short walk from the MM1 San Babila metro stop). Lovely and classy little cobblestone street, with some beautiful ancient buildings. The street and its neighborhood are more famous for the center of high-class shopping, where almost every luxury brand can be found.
⊙ Via Montenapoleone (Montenapoleone or San Babila metro stations). The city's top high fashion shopping street. It contains many of the biggest names in fashion, and some of the trendiest and famous emporia and designer stores in the world. Today, despite containing mainly fashion boutiques, there are also a some jewellery shops and cafes scattered here and there.
⊙ Piazza del Duomo (Duomo metro station). The grandest square in the city, the Piazza del Duomo is the cultural and social heart of Milan, and contains several of its most famous sights. Of course, the majestic cathedral and classy Galleria are there, but there also is the Palazzo Reale (Royal Palace), a fine 18th-century building which is currently an art exhibition centre, and several big, austere, old buildings. The street, with its huge lights, enormous statue of King Victor, huge buildings, and dark floor does at first sight seem quite overwhelming and overly majestic, but with its lovely cafes, top-quality restaurants and shops, constant flow of pigeons, and the presence of people make it an extremely appealing and interesting place. Since lots of the main streets and sights are or are routed from this place, you can't really miss it.
⊙ Piazza dei Mercanti (Duomo or Cordusio subway stations). A truly enchanting and tiny medieval square, hidden by the grand palaces in the central part of Milan. Here, in "Merchants' Square" you get lovely Gothic and Renaissance-porticoed houses, and a well right in the middle. At the one side of the square there is the Palazzo della Ragione (1233), the old town hall, aka Broletto Nuovo. At the other -- Loggia degli Osii (1321) decorated with black and white marble, formerly hosted judicial and notary offices. At Christmas time, the square fills up with markets selling local produce, including mouth-watering panettone, sweets, bonbons and souvenirs.
⊙ Piazzale Cordusio (To be reached via Cordusio station, or, the slightly further Duomo). A central and busy square in Milan, right near the Duomo. It boasts some grand and beautiful late-19th-century architecture. Once, and to some extent still today, it was an economic hub of the city, with the headquarters of several companies, and big banks and postal offices.
⊙ Piazza Belgiojoso (Montenapoleone station). A small, yet very impressive square, which hosts the magnificent neoclassical Belgiojoso Palace, built by Milanese noblemen in the late 1700s, and the House of Manzoni, where notable Italian writer and literary figure Alessandro Manzoni lived, and which today hosts a library and the Centro Nazionale di Studi Manzoniani (National Centre of Manzoni-related studies).
⊙ Piazza Della Scala. The location of the Statue of Leonardo da Vinci and La Scala theatre. It is a small, but grand square flanked by fine palaces, such as the city hall and the commercial bank. Great place for a photograph and right next to Galleria Vittorio Emanuele. Ticket office is underground in the Duomo Metropolitana stop.
⊙ Piazza San Babila (It can be reached via the Via Montenapoleone, the Corso Vittorio Emanuele or the Corso di Porta Venezia. To visit it, one may stop at the San Babila metro station, right in the middle of the piazza). Busy and modern square just north of the cathedral and near the city's fashion district. Architecturally, Piazza San Babila's buildings are virtually all Art-Deco office blocks from the 1930s, but it has a trendy business and cosmopolitan feel to it, and despite being very modern, boasts a very old sight, San Babila, a tiny, pretty, Romanesque church standing shadowed away by the huge modern skyscrapers. Piazza San Babila also contains numerous banks, post offices, fast-food restaurants and today also a touch of some funky designer stores too. Convenience wise, it's a great place to go, because it connects the Montenapoleone shopping area, with the more central Duomo zone.
⊙ Piazza del Liberty (The closest station is Duomo, but San Babila is a decent distance too). Small square, which however, is noted for a stunning Art Nouveau palace today called the Hotel del Corso, but once the Trianon. You reach it just off a tiny opening at the beginning of the Corso Vittorio Emanuele.
⊙ Piazzale Cadorna (Cadorna Square) (Cadorna FN station). Medium-sized, normal square in central Milan with the funky modern North Station and some fine buildings, but notably a set of peculiar modern sculptures in the middle.
⊙ Castello Sforzesco (Reachable by subway: MM1 Cairoli - castello Station). A large medieval castle with a grass-covered courtyard, where the Sforza-Visconti ruling families of Milan resided. Later it was the Austrian governor's residence, when Lombardy was part of the Hapsburg empire. It houses several museums, including museums of applied arts, ancient art, historical musical instruments, prehistory, Egyptian art and fine arts.
⊙ Old Hospital (Ospedale Maggiore). A Renaissance complex which now serves the university.
Other sights

Ponte Coperto di Pavia
IT-27100 Pavia
The Ponte Coperto "covered bridge" (also known as the Ponte Vecchio "Old Bridge") is a brick and stone arch bridge over the Ticino River in Pavia.
The previous bridge, dating from 1354 (itself a replacement for a Roman construction), was heavily damaged by Allied action in 1945. A debate on whether to fix or replace the bridge ended when the bridge partially collapsed in 1947, requiring new construction, which began in 1949. The new bridge is based on the previous one, which had seven arches to the current bridge's five.

Pavia (Italian: [paˈviːa] ; Lombard Pavia; Latin: Ticinum; Medieval Latin Papia) is a town and comune of south-western Lombardy, 35 kilometres (22 miles) south of Milan on the lower Ticino river near its confluence with the Po. It is the capital of the province of Pavia. It has a population of c. 71,000.
Pavia is the capital of a fertile eponymous province known for agricultural products including wine, rice, cereals, and dairy products. Although there are a number of industries located in the suburbs, these tend not to disturb the peaceful atmosphere of the town. The town also is home to the ancient University of Pavia. The city was also the capital of the Kingdom of the Lombards from 568 to 774. The city possesses a vast amount of artistic and cultural treasures, including several important churches and museums, such as the well-known Certosa di Pavia.
Pavia's most famous landmark is the Certosa, or Carthusian monastery, founded in 1396 and located eight kilometres (5.0 miles) north of the city.
Among other notable structures are:
⊙ Cathedral of Pavia (Duomo di Pavia), begun in 1488; however, only by 1898 were the façade and the dome completed according to the original design. The central dome has an octagonal plan, stands 97 m high, and weighs some 20,000 tons. This dome is the third for size in Italy, after St. Peter's Basilica and Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence. Next to the Duomo were the Civic Tower (existing at least from 1330 and enlarged in 1583 by Pellegrino Tibaldi): its fall on March 17, 1989.
⊙ San Michele Maggiore (St. Michael) is an outstanding example of Lombard-Romanesque church architecture in Lombardy. It is located on the site of a pre-existing Lombard church, which the lower part of the campanile belongs to. Destroyed in 1004, the church was rebuilt from around the end of the 11th century (including the crypt, the transept and the choir), and finished in 1155. It is characterized by an extensive use of sandstone and by a very long transept, provided with a façade and an apse of its own. In the church the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa was crowned in 1155.
⊙ The Basilica of San Pietro in Ciel d'Oro ("St. Peter in Golden Sky"), where Saint Augustine, Boethius and the Lombard king Liutprand are buried, was begun in the 6th century. The current construction was built in 1132. It is similar to San Michele Maggiore, but different in the asymmetric façade with a single portal, the use of brickwork instead of sandstone, and, in the interior, the absence of matronei, galleries reserved for women and the shortest transept. The noteworthy arch housing the relics of St. Augustine was built in 1362 by artists from Campione, and is decorated by some 150 statues and reliefs. The church is mentioned by Dante Alighieri in the X canto of his Divine Comedy.
San Francesco d'Assisi, a late Romanesque church (1238–98) with a restored Gothic façade, located on Corso Cairoli.
⊙ San Teodoro (1117), dedicated to Theodore of Pavia, a medieval bishop of the Diocese of Pavia, is the third romanesque basilica in the city, though smaller than the former ones. It is situated on the slopes leading down to the Ticino river and served the fishermen. The apses and the three-level tiburium are samples of the effective simplicity of romanesque decoration. Inside are two outstanding bird's-eye-view frescoes of the city (1525) attributed to the painter Bernardino Lanzani. The latter, the definitive release, was stripped off disclosing the unfinished first one. Both are impressively detailed and reveal how little Pavia's urban design has changed during the last 500 years.
⊙ The large fortified Castello Visconteo (built 1360-1365 by Galeazzo II Visconti). In spite of its being fortified, it actually was used as a private residence rather than a stronghold. The poet Francesco Petrarca spent some time there, when Gian Galeazzo Visconti called him to take charge of the magnificent library which owned about a thousand books and manuscripts, subsequently lost. The Castle is now home to the City Museums (Musei Civici) and the park is a popular attraction for children. An unconfirmed legend wants the Castle to be connected by a secret underground tunnel to the Certosa.
⊙ The church of Santa Maria del Carmine is one of the best known examples of Gothic brickwork architecture in northern Italy. It is the second largest church in the city after the cathedral and is built on the Latin cross plan, with a perimeter of 80 x 40 meters comprising a nave and two aisles. The characteristic façade has a large rose window and seven cusps.
⊙ The renaissance church of Santa Maria di Canepanova is attributed to Bramante.
The medieval towers still shape the town skyline. The main clusters still rising are rallied in Piazza Leonardo da Vinci, Via Luigi Porta, and Piazza Collegio Borromeo.

GOOD Friday became Feelgood Friday at Home Park as Argyle bounced back from their Valley depression to re-fan the flames of their Sky Bet League One promotion desires.
Less than a week after they lost their eight-game unbeaten run at Charlton Athletic, the Pilgrims lived up to their post-match promise to start another streak with a ninth win from their last ten matches at Home Park.
Graham Carey and Ruben Lameiras both netted twice against the Shrimpers, Carey taking his tally for the season to 13 after Lameiras had given the Pilgrims a nerve-settlingly early lead and then rounding off the scoring, top and tailing matters with his fifth and sixth goals in his last 14 matches.
Carey later missed an opportunity to become the first Pilgrim to score a league hat-trick at Home Park for 12 years (Vincent Pericard, anyone?) when he struck a penalty against the crossbar.
The victory – the fifth time in their last nine home matches that Argyle have scored three or more goals – took them to 60 points, intriguingly the precise same amount as Easter Monday's hosts Scunthorpe United, who have played a game more.
Both Argyle and Southend had made one change following their differing fortunes six days earlier.
Argyle welcomed the return of central defender Sonny Bradley after having lost him to illness for the previous three matches.
Southend were able to bring back right-back Jason Demetriou after international duty with Cyprus, ostensibly strengthening the 11 that had beaten Rotherham 2-0 at Roots Hall the previous weekend, at the expense of Elvis Bwomono.
Any concerns that Argyle might suffer a hangover from the Valley were dispelled within three minutes of the game's start when Lameiras continued his rich vein of form since being recalled to colours just before Christmas.
Ryan Taylor was, as so often, the key link man, latching on to a ball from deep and taking it wide before turning and playing it into the space his clever run had created.
Lameiras read the play superbly and arrived with enough time to compose himself before passing the ball into the net past a stranded Mark Oxley in the United goal.
Having done to Southend what Charlton had done to them the previous week and scored so soon, Argyle settled in for the long haul.
They did so to such effect that more than a quarter of the game went by before the opposition fashioned their first opportunity, when the Pilgrims were unable to clear their lines and Anthony Wordsworth stole in at the far post.
A yard or less in from the bye-line, his touch sent the ball across the goal. Whether it was a shot or a cross, only he will know but, fortunately for Argyle, with Simon Cox stealing at the opposite upright, it turned out to be neither.
Cox fluffed his lines a short while later, after reacting quickest when Remi Matthews could not hold on to a raking drive from Dru Yearwood. The ball spilled kindly but Cox's effort was weak and Oscar Threlkeld arrived to make sure the Southend man did not get another opportunity.
Again, reverse echoes of the Charlton game. At the Valley, at one down, Argyle had narrowly failed to get a foothold in the game when Taylor's shot hit a post and then almost immediately found themselves 2-0 in arrears.
This time, Southend were still ruing Cox's profligacy when Carey rounded off some great foraging and keeping-the-ball-alive play by the Pilgrims with a shot from outside the right-hand edge of the penalty area.
The ball looked destined for the top far corner of the goal when it left his left foot but, with the helping hand – or, more accurately, backside – of Sam Mantom, the ball looped even further up and plopped deliciously over Oxley.
The first half ended with the visiting players in high dudgeon after a challenge between Taylor and his marker Michael Turner resulted in the later prostrate on the deck, clutching his face. Eventually, referee Brendan Malone decided that whatever had occurred merited only a yellow for the Argyle man.
Southend's feeling of hard-done-by-ness increased seven minutes after the interval when Carey claimed his second of the game with as true a strike as his first had been skewwhiff.
Moses Makasi, who was never very far from the centre of things all afternoon, deserves credit for a sweet little ball down the side for the overlapping Threlkeld. When the ball was played into the six-yard box, Carey's eyes lit up and his volley was simply sumptuous.
The Irishman proved that he has feet of clay, though, when he cracked a penalty, given for Turner's foul on substitute Joel Grant, against the Devonport end crossbar.
Incredibly, for all his marvellous talent, it was the third time he had missed from 12 yards in his last four attempts.
No matter. The game was long since won by then, as evinced by Derek Adams' substitutions. You know things are going well when you can afford to protect assets like Taylor, David Fox and Jamie Ness with plenty of time still to play.
Two of their replacements, Grant and Yann Songo'o, both came close to getting a touch on Lameiras's delivery across the face of the goal after more outrageous skill from the Portuguese playmaker.
Lameiras then profited from a lovely block and counter from the third substitute, Aaron Taylor-Fletcher, rounding off a sweeping end-to-end move.
A hat-trick for either of the goalscorers would have made Good Friday an excellent Friday.
As it is, we will settle for nine out ten.
Argyle (4-3-3): 34 Remi Matthews; 18 Oscar Threlkeld, 22 Zak Vyner, 15 Sonny Bradley, 3 Gary Sawyer (capt); 14 Moses Makasi, 24 David Fox (4 Yann Songo'o75), 6 Jamie Ness (17 Aaron Taylor-Sinclair 82); 10 Graham Carey, 19 Ryan Taylor (16 Joel Grant 71), 11 Ruben Lameiras.
