Mongolia: The Road to Prosperity
Project Result / Case Study
The road corridor is strengthening Mongolia's transport links with the PRC, the Russian Federation, and other countries in the region.
With the new road, students at Khovd University can go home, see their families, and come back to school in the same day.
Improved roads in the western Mongolian province of Khovd resulted to zero maternal mortality.
At the provincial university in the western Mongolian province of Khovd, a new road is having a positive impact on families. "The road conditions used to be quite rough, especially over the mountain passes," says Urangoo, a biology major student. "It used to take overnight travel to get here. My home used to seem so far away. Now, with the new road, I can go home, see my family, and come back to school in the same day."
Urangoo and her fellow students benefit from a road that was improved as part of the first phase of the ADB-supported Western Regional Road Corridor Development Project, which is building a transport corridor that will link the People's Republic of China (PRC) to the Russian Federation via western Mongolia.
The corridor will span nearly 750 kilometers (km) and become part of the Asian Highway Network. The first phase of the project constructed a road from Yarant, a border crossing point along Mongolia's southwestern border with the PRC, to Khovd city, the provincial capital. It also created road maintenance units, improved road safety, and provided skills training to transport officials.
From Isolated to International
The road corridor is strengthening Mongolia's transport links with the PRC, the Russian Federation, and other countries in the region. It is also promoting sustainable economic growth and social development in the areas surrounding the road.
According to Governor Galsandondog Damdin, his province of Khovd is already feeling the benefits of the corridor. Located on the western edge of Mongolia, the province was once considered remote and isolated because it was far from the country's capital city. The province's livestock industry needs good roads to expand.
"We are seeing trade between the PRC and the Russian Federation improving," he says, noting that his province now sits right along a principal overland trade route between the two giant economies.
Improved Road, Improved Lives
Along the road in western Mongolia, people have felt the immediate benefits of improved transport. Yagaantsetseg, who runs a small store beside the road to support her five children, was once a livestock herder. The life was difficult and kept her children far from local schools. Her income was also low and she struggled to meet her expenses. She opened her small roadside store before the road was improved, but that was challenging as well.
"We felt quite lucky. Besides the benefit of lower prices of merchandise, we can now travel in a safer and faster way."
Yagaantsetseg, a store owner who benefits from the new road
"Before the road was rehabilitated, we endured 14-hour trips to the provincial center, which is over 300 km from here. We used to have some trade along the border with the PRC. To go to the border and back required 2 to 3 days." When the newly improved road opened, traffic increased and so did business for her shop. She was also able to bring down her operating costs, which allowed her to increase her income to support her family.
Tulga, a minivan driver along the road, has also benefited from lower operating costs. A shuttle service operator for the last 7 years, Tulga remembers having to use heavy-duty, expensive-to-maintain Russian vehicles to endure the poor road conditions. It would also take 12 hours to travel from one district capital to the next, forcing him to sleep overnight—an additional expense—before taking the trip back.
"Now, we can go there and back within the same day," he says. "Our cars also do not suffer as much damage now. One of the key problems was dealing with flat tires and damaged shock absorbers. These days, that's no longer a problem. Now, we only need to clean and polish our cars."
Amarjargal Baasankhuu, who has been a doctor in the province for more than 25 years, says the new roads in the area have improved the lives of many patients. "When I was head of the district hospital, there were difficulties in transporting and receiving emergency cases because of bad road conditions," she says. "It was difficult for the patients being transported over those roads and it took quite a long time for doctors to reach them."
With the improved roads, doctors in the province can see more patients over a wider geographic area, which is crucial in the vast, sparsely populated rural areas of Mongolia. Batsukh Zodov, a women's health physician in the province of Khovd, has seen similar results. He remembers a time when patients struggled for hours traveling over rough roads to obtain vital medical services.
"With the improved roads, doctors in the province can see more patients over a wider geographic area, which is crucial in the vast, sparsely populated rural areas of Mongolia."
He and other doctors endured the same hardship. In some cases, it would take him as long as 24 hours to reach a patient in a nearby district. "When the road was bad, it was quite difficult to reach patients in remote areas," he says, noting that one year there were 16 maternal deaths in his district alone. "It took a lot of time to reach patients."
Since the road has been improved, days of travel have turned into hours, and in some cases hours have become minutes. The improved roads have also given doctors in the province more options, including bringing medical equipment to patients and allowing for more follow-up visits. "The changes are vivid, like night and day," he says. "We have zero maternal mortality today."

Fort Worth Truck Explosion Accident Wrongful Death
Fort Worth police have arrested and charged Louis Nieves, 23, with intoxication manslaughter after a fiery traffic accident early in the morning that killed the driver of a fuel tanker truck and shut down the freeway most of the day.
Nieves was the driver of a small red pickup truck. Police reported he was driving the wrong way on Interstate 30 when he slammed into the oncoming 18-wheeler near the Beach Street exit at 2:37 a.m.
The freeway was shut down and traffic was backed up through downtown Fort Worth after the deadly wrong-way crash. The tanker exploded after impact, killing its driver. The truck was so badly burned that the flames destroyed the tanker and damaged the surface of the freeway.
The red pickup showed significant front end damage, but did not catch on fire. Emergency crews rushed Nieves to a nearby hospital. He was treated at the hospital, released and booked into the Fort Worth jail. Officers said several people called 911 to report the wrong-way driver.
The other two lanes remain badly damaged and must undergo extensive repairs. TxDOT said the road must be resurfaced and, underneath, steel beams and the concrete support system that burned must also be replaced.
The tanker was so badly burned, there is no obvious way to determine who owns it or even to whom it was registered.
The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission has opened an investigation into where a 23-year-old pickup driver was drinking before he was involved in a fiery crash.
Louis Nieves, 23, who was arrested after the wreck, told a reporter for WFAA/Channel 8 TV that he had drunk 10 beers before getting behind the wheel and leaving a bar on East Eighth Street near the Fort Worth Convention Center.
Family and friends identified the tanker driver as 45-year-old Alejandro Raya of Fort Worth.
The beverage commission is investigating but won't identify the business until the investigation is further along.
Nieves, who faces a charge of intoxication manslaughter, remained in the Mansfield Jail with bail set at $90,000, according to Fort Worth police.
Alejandro Raya left a wife and three children, ages 21, 14 and 12. Alejandro Raya moved to the United States from Mexico in the 1980s. Raya was working for Petro-Chemical Transport, based in Addison, according to a company spokeswoman. Gasoline fuel that spilled from the tanker ignited, melting steel beams and concrete in the I-30 bridge over Sycamore Creek.

The governor's most high-profile relationship was with the pop star, whom he met in 1971 at a Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles. At a benefit concert for his presidential bid in 1979, Ronstadt, a longtime San Francisco resident, called Brown up to the stage and sang "My Boyfriend's Back." The couple also took a much-buzzed-about trip to Africa that year, fueling speculation of a proposal. But Ronstadt's mother told Newsweek, "I know she would not like being a political wife," and the two seem to have split for good sometime around 1983.
Bloomberg Businessweek once reported that the two had dated. And if you can't trust Bloomberg for celebrity gossip, what can you trust?

SEIU Kicks Off Series of "Roundtable Conversations" About Growth & Budget in Nashville!
With nearly a hundred people moving to "It City" every day, how can Nashville experience such rapid growth and yet still struggle with a revenue shortfall?
This was the topic of discussion at a community meeting held at J.T. Moore Middle School in Green Hills. Hosted by SEIU Local 205, the roundtable discussion featured perspectives from Metro Council members, labor leaders, and city employees who are dealing with the direct impact of an exploding city population using limited resources.
The discussion began with some sobering statistics. In the last decade, the city's population has increased by over 17%. This population growth brings with it a host of issues that require local government services and people to provide them and yet, Metro departments have lagged far behind the city's growth curve. Some city departments like Public Works have essentially the same number of employees as they did in 2008.
Despite Nashville's population explosion, a development boom, an overall increase in property values, and job growth, Nashville ended up with a revenue shortfall last year which resulted in Metro Schools receiving about $37 million dollars less than they asked for. Metro Government employees, who rely on cost-of-living raises to keep up, watched as their COLA raise was taken away even though the council had voted to approve it the previous year.
Several Metro employees participated in the roundtable discussion and shared their perspectives on how growth and budget shortfalls are impacting their work and their families. Alisa Franklin, a call taker at the Department of Emergency Communications, described a high-stress environment that results in burnout and high turnover. "Some of our call takers are working 12 to 16 hour days to make sure the city is served properly," Franklin said. "We've got people who do that on a daily basis because we are dedicated." She also described the department's struggle with retaining good people since their starting salary is only $15.60 in one the most expensive urban markets in the state. "It's hard for us to keep people here because they can go to work somewhere else for the same money doing easier work and not have all the stress."
Panelist Chris Gill is a paraprofessional working in Metro Nashville Public Schools and assists children with developmental disabilities. Gill, a former U.S. Army captain, questioned how he and his co-workers – many of whom have college educations – are able to live in Davidson County with a salary that forces many of them to have second jobs. "I love my job, but I shouldn't have to take a second job to keep my first job," Gill said. "Everyone says 'we appreciate your service', but if you really appreciate our service, pay us what we're worth."
Tyrone Jolley works for Metro Water Services in the Development Services division, which is ground zero for the development boom in Music City. His office deals with project engineering, planning, permits, and inspections. "On any day of the week, you can come down to our office at 7:30 am and see a line of people waiting to get in," Jolley said. "We used to have some slow periods but we haven't seen any of that in the past four years. It is non-stop." Jolley, who's worked for Metro Water for over 20 years, received no raise in 2018.

Mark Young, local president of the International Association of Firefighters and James Smallwood, local president of the Fraternal Order of Police joined in the discussion with equally powerful statistics and stories about how a lack of funding is impacting public safety in Nashville. Whether it's not having enough fire stations or enough police officers on the street, the failure to adjust the property tax rate as well as ongoing tax incentives to large corporations like Amazon, HCA, and others are literally putting Nashvillians at risk. A similar sentiment came from Erick Huth, president of Metro Nashville Education Association, who talked about the impact funding is having on public education in Nashville.
Councilmembers Russ Pulley, Angie Henderson, and Burkley Allen, who represent districts across West Nashville, participated in the discussion as well. When last year's budget was being voted on, both Pulley and Henderson voted against an amended budget ordinance which would have adjusted the property tax and fully-funded Metro Schools along with city employees' cost-of-living raises. Councilwoman Allen voted for the amended budget ordinance but ultimately it failed to pass by one vote. During an open q&a session, several attendees expressed frustration with city officials for playing politics over budget items. "Thank you for the clarification that getting elected is more important than doing the job you were elected to do," said Lilldeus Russell, a city employee and mother who also offered a suggestion to the council members. "If we stop giving away our city to businesses which don't need [tax incentives] and actually take care of the people who voted you into office, we wouldn't be in this place."
SEIU Local 205 plans to host several more roundtables on growth and the city budget across Davidson County over the next few months. For more information on future events, contact the union at 615-227-5070.

Berossos (gr. Βήρωσσος) – zhellenizowany kapłan babiloński, historyk i astrolog, żyjący w Babilonie na przełomie IV i III w. p.n.e. Autor trzytomowego dzieła Babyloniaka o kulturze i historii Babilonii.

Imię
Zdaniem uczonych imię Berossos jest grecką, zniekształconą formą zapisu rodzimego, akadyjskiego imienia tego kapłana. Wśród badaczy nie ma jednak zgody co do tego, o jakie dokładnie imię miałoby tu chodzić. Niektórzy z nich wskazują na imię Bēl-uṣur (tłum. "Boże Belu strzeż!"), inni na Bēl-rē'ûšu (tłum. "Bóg Bel jest jego pasterzem").

Życiorys
Berossos urodził się w czasie rządów Aleksandra Macedońskiego nad Babilonią, pomiędzy 330 a 323 rokiem p.n.e. Został kapłanem boga Bela (jedno z imion Marduka, głównego boga panteonu babilońskiego) w Babilonie, służąc najprawdopodobniej w kompleksie świątynnym E-sagila, gdzie miałby dostęp do tamtejszych archiwów świątynnych. Tam też zaczął pisać swe dzieło Babyloniaka, które ukończył najprawdopodobniej około roku 290 p.n.e., dedykując je Antiochowi I z dynastii Seleucydów. Na starość wyemigrowł na egejską wyspę Kos, gdzie założyć miał szkołę astrologii. Data śmierci Berossosa nie jest znana.

Trzeba wspomnieć, iż nie wszyscy badacze zgadzają się z powyższą biografią Berossosa. Niektórzy dopuszczają bowiem możliwość, iż tak naprawdę istniały dwie osoby o tym imieniu: Berossos z Babilonu, który był historykiem, oraz Berossos z Kos, który był astrologiem. Zdaniem tychże uczonych jest wysoce nieprawdopodobne by ten sam Berossos napisał najpierw pracę historyczną dla Seleucydów w Babilonie, a potem, pod koniec swego życia, przeniósł się na wyspę Kos, kontrolowaną przez Ptolemeuszów, by założyć tam szkołę astrologii.

Babyloniaka
Berossos jest autorem Babyloniaka - trzytomowego dzieła w języku greckim o kulturze i historii Babilonii. Dzieło to zaginęło i znane jest jedynie z fragmentów i wzmianek w dziełach późniejszych historyków antycznych. W I w. p.n.e. Aleksander Polihistor sporządził skrót Babyloniaka, który też wprawdzie nie zachował się do naszych czasów, ale stał się źródłem dla historyka żydowskiego Józefa Flawiusza (37/38 - ok. 100 n.e.) i Ojca Kościoła Euzebiusza z Cezarei (IV w. n.e.). Babyloniaka Berossosa była dla Greków starożytnych podstawowym źródłem wiedzy o Babilonii.

Babyloniaka Berossosa składała się z trzech Ksiąg:
 Księga Pierwsza zaczynała się od opisu początków świata oraz mitu o Oannesie i innych rybach-potworach, które wynurzając się z morza przyniosły ludzkości cywilizację. Jej dalszy ciąg stanowiła babilońska opowieść o stworzeniu świata i zarys astrologii babilońskiej.
 Księga Druga zawierała historię Babilonii zaczynając od "dziesięciu królów (panujących) przed potopem" oraz opowieści o samym potopie, po którym nastąpiło odtworzenie królestwa, rządzonego przez sześć dynastii. Księga kończyła się na panowaniu Nabonassara (747-734 p.n.e.).
 Księga Trzecia traktowała o historii Babilonii aż po czasy współczesne Berossosowi, obejmując m.in. rządy Tiglat-Pilesera III, Sennacheryba i Nabuchodonozora II, a na Aleksandrze Wielkim kończąc.

Mezopotamskie teksty mitologiczne i historyczne, odkryte dzięki współczesnym wykopaliskom, w dużej mierze potwierdziły autentyczność przekazu Berossosa.

Szczegółowa analiza Babyloniaka wykazała sporo zaskakujących błędów dotyczących podstawowych faktów. Najważniejszym z nich jest z pewnością stwierdzenie, że Nabopolassar rządził Egiptem.

Describe the different steps in protein synthesis
Discuss the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis
Describe the genetic code and how the nucleotide sequence determines the amino acid and the protein sequence
The synthesis of proteins is one of a cell's most energy-consuming metabolic processes. In turn, proteins account for more mass than any other component of living organisms (with the exception of water), and proteins perform a wide variety of the functions of a cell. The process of translation, or protein synthesis, involves decoding an mRNA message into a polypeptide product. Amino acids are covalently strung together in lengths ranging from approximately 50 amino acids to more than 1,000.
The Protein Synthesis Machinery
In addition to the mRNA template, many other molecules contribute to the process of translation. The composition of each component may vary across species; for instance, ribosomes may consist of different numbers of ribosomal RNAs (rRNA) and polypeptides depending on the organism. However, the general structures and functions of the protein synthesis machinery are comparable from bacteria to human cells. Translation requires the input of an mRNA template, ribosomes, tRNAs, and various enzymatic factors (Figure 9.19).
Figure 9.19 The protein synthesis machinery includes the large and small subunits of the ribosome, mRNA, and tRNA. (credit: modification of work by NIGMS, NIH)
In E. coli, there are 200,000 ribosomes present in every cell at any given time. A ribosome is a complex macromolecule composed of structural and catalytic rRNAs, and many distinct polypeptides. In eukaryotes, the nucleolus is completely specialized for the synthesis and assembly of rRNAs.
Ribosomes are located in the cytoplasm in prokaryotes and in the cytoplasm and endoplasmic reticulum of eukaryotes. Ribosomes are made up of a large and a small subunit that come together for translation. The small subunit is responsible for binding the mRNA template, whereas the large subunit sequentially binds tRNAs, a type of RNA molecule that brings amino acids to the growing chain of the polypeptide. Each mRNA molecule is simultaneously translated by many ribosomes, all synthesizing protein in the same direction.
Depending on the species, 40 to 60 types of tRNA exist in the cytoplasm. Serving as adaptors, specific tRNAs bind to sequences on the mRNA template and add the corresponding amino acid to the polypeptide chain. Therefore, tRNAs are the molecules that actually "translate" the language of RNA into the language of proteins. For each tRNA to function, it must have its specific amino acid bonded to it. In the process of tRNA "charging," each tRNA molecule is bonded to its correct amino acid.
The Genetic Code
To summarize what we know to this point, the cellular process of transcription generates messenger RNA (mRNA), a mobile molecular copy of one or more genes with an alphabet of A, C, G, and uracil (U). Translation of the mRNA template converts nucleotide-based genetic information into a protein product. Protein sequences consist of 20 commonly occurring amino acids; therefore, it can be said that the protein alphabet consists of 20 letters. Each amino acid is defined by a three-nucleotide sequence called the triplet codon. The relationship between a nucleotide codon and its corresponding amino acid is called the genetic code.
Given the different numbers of "letters" in the mRNA and protein "alphabets," combinations of nucleotides corresponded to single amino acids. Using a three-nucleotide code means that there are a total of 64 (4 × 4 × 4) possible combinations; therefore, a given amino acid is encoded by more than one nucleotide triplet (Figure 9.20).
Figure 9.20 This figure shows the genetic code for translating each nucleotide triplet, or codon, in mRNA into an amino acid or a termination signal in a nascent protein. (credit: modification of work by NIH)
Three of the 64 codons terminate protein synthesis and release the polypeptide from the translation machinery. These triplets are called stop codons. Another codon, AUG, also has a special function. In addition to specifying the amino acid methionine, it also serves as the start codon to initiate translation. The reading frame for translation is set by the AUG start codon near the 5' end of the mRNA. The genetic code is universal. With a few exceptions, virtually all species use the same genetic code for protein synthesis, which is powerful evidence that all life on Earth shares a common origin.
The Mechanism of Protein Synthesis
Just as with mRNA synthesis, protein synthesis can be divided into three phases: initiation, elongation, and termination. The process of translation is similar in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Here we will explore how translation occurs in E. coli, a representative prokaryote, and specify any differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic translation.
Protein synthesis begins with the formation of an initiation complex. In E. coli, this complex involves the small ribosome subunit, the mRNA template, three initiation factors, and a special initiator tRNA. The initiator tRNA interacts with the AUG start codon, and links to a special form of the amino acid methionine that is typically removed from the polypeptide after translation is complete.
In prokaryotes and eukaryotes, the basics of polypeptide elongation are the same, so we will review elongation from the perspective of E. coli. The large ribosomal subunit of E. coli consists of three compartments: the A site binds incoming charged tRNAs (tRNAs with their attached specific amino acids). The P site binds charged tRNAs carrying amino acids that have formed bonds with the growing polypeptide chain but have not yet dissociated from their corresponding tRNA. The E site releases dissociated tRNAs so they can be recharged with free amino acids. The ribosome shifts one codon at a time, catalyzing each process that occurs in the three sites. With each step, a charged tRNA enters the complex, the polypeptide becomes one amino acid longer, and an uncharged tRNA departs. The energy for each bond between amino acids is derived from GTP, a molecule similar to ATP (Figure 9.21). Amazingly, the E. coli translation apparatus takes only 0.05 seconds to add each amino acid, meaning that a 200-amino acid polypeptide could be translated in just 10 seconds.
Figure 9.21 Translation begins when a tRNA anticodon recognizes a codon on the mRNA. The large ribosomal subunit joins the small subunit, and a second tRNA is recruited. As the mRNA moves relative to the ribosome, the polypeptide chain is formed. Entry of a release factor into the A site terminates translation and the components dissociate.
Termination of translation occurs when a stop codon (UAA, UAG, or UGA) is encountered. When the ribosome encounters the stop codon, the growing polypeptide is released and the ribosome subunits dissociate and leave the mRNA. After many ribosomes have completed translation, the mRNA is degraded so the nucleotides can be reused in another transcription reaction.

The story of the world famous Superman logo carries overtones of history, science and arts. Jerry Siegel was the man who came with the idea of Superman and than showed the story to his friend Shuster, an aspiring artist. The symbol "S" which was used to create the logo has a lot of meaning within the bounds of American culture. "S" stands for Superman, Stopping Crime, Saving Lives, Super-Aid, but it also represents the symbol of Superman's family house on Krypton. It is important to pay more attention on to the elements of the logo, which are often ignored. The two colors of the logo bear a deep meaning. Red and yellow are the colors of RAO ( the sun-god of Krypton) and SOL refers to sunlight. On the cover of Superman 4, April 1940 the Superman logo has a black background. However, in June 1940 the studio decides to change the logo into a larger 5 sided pentagon, easier to draw and color. This new version is first drawn by Wayne Boring. Paul Cassidy would later create a new design using a larger S, tightly slammed against the shield border. Today, in spite of all the changes the logo has suffered throughout time, its fundamental details remain mostly unchanged.

So can we not access "Residence eIntro" until the 27th of august? i'm SUPER confused!
Is anyone buying tickets to freshers events already?? seems like on the facebook page ppl already are!
I was going to see what my flatmates/people around me are doing, don't want to end up going alone!
So can we not access "Residence eIntro" until the 27th of august? i'm SUPER confused!
I've been flicking through this thread and it seems that a lot of the people who didn't get into Henry Price have been stuck in Lupton. I knew I should've put Leodis as my first choice!
I'm in the same boat, too, but it should be ok! It's not totally horrible, plus it's cheaper. At least we will get a good walk to and from uni.
Okay well ive accepted and payed now!
Clarence dock block N anyone?
I'm in block N which room are you in?
Ahh dammit I thought you were going to say the same block! Which one are you in?
When do we get an email saying that they have recieved the deposit for accommodation?
If i wish too insure my belongings such as laptop, phone for theft, can i go through my accommodation or can you reccommend me a company? Thanks.
There's a certain amount of cover included in your rent. When you can access the eIntro (after 27th) you'll be able to look at the cover provided and either top up with that company or take out a separate policy with another comoany if you prefer.
If you paid online then you should have got a confirmation receipt. We don't send a separate email.
no idea how to use this.... im in sentinel towers... AND I REALLY DONT WANNA BE THERE sorry i just thought id tell you just incase that i'm not a postgraduate or international and ive ended up there so im hoping theres someone else whos like me!
Oh no that must be awful, it'll be so quiet.
Yeahh I can only get a lift on Wednesday or the weekend so I think I'll just go on the Wednesday I'm sure it'll be better to be there before people than after!

Protest> The Eisenhower Memorial at the Tipping Point
By Sam Roche • November 9, 2012
Frank Gehry's design for the Eisenhower Memorial. (Courtesy NCDC)
How many Americans know that the Eisenhower Memorial will be the largest presidential memorial in Washington, D.C.? Or that it will be using untested, experimental elements for the first time? Or that it will cost nearly as much to build as the neighboring memorials to Washington, Lincoln, and Jefferson combined? These basic facts are still not widely known because the current design has emerged from a planning process that limited rather than encouraged public participation. It has also led directly to a controversy that has stalled the project in regulatory and political limbo and left its supporters and critics without common ground. We need public input to find the consensus that this and every memorial needs.
At least one federal agency is already working toward that outcome. Recently the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC), which reviews all major physical changes to the District of Columbia, called for more public feedback before it will decide whether to approve the current design. In September, it refused to hear the Eisenhower Memorial Commission's (unannounced) request for preliminary design approval and published its application online. This was the first full public disclosure regarding the Eisenhower Memorial, and it reveals practical as well as principled reasons for the NCPC's delay. These include unresolved technical questions about the design's main feature, a set of suspended steel "tapestries" eight stories tall, and a record of official doubts about their size and placement. The Commission of Fine Arts has even suggested eliminating them altogether. The current design is neither as feasible nor as popular as the Eisenhower Memorial Commission has represented it to be.
It won't be cheap, either. The cost of the Eisenhower Memorial is $142 million, a huge increase over its original budget of $55 to $75 million, which was comparable to those of previous presidential memorials. The skyrocketing cost follows a familiar pattern with architect Frank Gehry, the memorial's designer. The final cost of many of his buildings exceeds their original budgets, sometimes several times over. Typically, asthese buildings are private, wealthy donors and institutions pick up the additional cost. But the Eisenhower Memorial is public, which means we, the taxpayers,will be paying for it. Do we realize we are being asked to commit an open-ended budget to an experimental design?
Public debate has been forestalled as well as squelched. The Eisenhower Memorial Commission rejected established practice to choose its architect through a process that excluded public participation. It considered only registered architects to design the memorial, whom it alerted on one government website. The Commission evaluated these architects on the basis of their reputations and experience, criteria that whittled away all but established contenders. The drawbacks of this closed process, moreover, are well known. The only other time it was tried, for the World War II Memorial, it had to be abandoned after a public outcry over its exclusive and undemocratic character. The Eisenhower Memorial Commission's decision to revive this discredited process was so unusual that it is the subject of a Congressional investigation by House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa.
A public memorial conceived in this closed and secretive fashion is unlikely to become a unifying national symbol. We should return to the established democratic tradition rejected by the Eisenhower Memorial Commission. Our national memorials are typically designed through open public competitions, which consider anonymous designs from anyone who wants to submit one. This process echoes and reinforces our democratic political process, which helps explain why we keep using it, from the White House and the U.S. Capitol to four of the last five memorials built on the National Mall and all three of the national September 11th memorials.
The current impasse over this memorial shows what happens in a democratic culture of competing ideas when consensus is hoped for at the end rather than planned for from the beginning. No one debates, however, that such consensus is necessary, and we should find paths to it wherever we can. The NCPC has now provided one. The public has the opportunity and the responsibility to make its opinion known.

Danger Next Door: Neighbors Say NYC Dentist Has Terrorized Them For More Than a Year
"He jumped me on the street. Punched me, the cops came. They said they're not allowed to go into his apartment," one neighbor who has been victimized multiple times said. "This will end in a murder-suicide"
By Sarah Wallace • Published November 25, 2020 • Updated on November 25, 2020 at 2:30 am
Residents in a Manhattan condominium building say they're living in fear, being terrorized by another resident.
The disturbing and bizarre behavior of Dr. George Michael Medeiros has been caught on multiple security cameras in and around the Chelsea condominium building where he lives.
"We are under siege, he runs this building" said resident Mary Conway-Spiegel. "You have no idea how afraid I am to get in the elevator to walk the dog."
Residents say it's a cycle: They call police after Medeiros, a local dentist, gets aggressive and sometimes violent. He's been arrested multiple times – and gets right back out, every time.
"It's been scary, to the extent that I started to (be) afraid that he's going to blow up the building because he went insane," said Agnes Swiercz.
He's been accused of supergluing emergency locks, damaging building property and nearly breaking the handles off of other apartments' fire doors with a baseball bat.
Fellow resident Bob Spiegel said his Vespa scooter was destroyed by Medeiros, who said he "jumped on it like he had just captured a bear, and he slashed the tires, broke the mirrors, broke the lights, totaled it." In a cellphone video, Medeiros even seems to admit it.

"I come into the building, I am looking around walls, I am planning moves, how I would defend myself," Spiegal said.
Security video from Nov. 21 appears to show Spiegel come out of a parking garage down the street from the condo building. That's where Spiegal says Medeiros attacked him.
"He jumped me on the street. Punched me, the cops came. They said they're not allowed to go into his apartment," Spiegal said. "This will end in a murder-suicide."
NBC New York buzzed Dr. Mederious's condo Monday afternoon, and a man's voice who answered said the dentist was on the West Coast. But he was there the whole time, and hours later, an ambulance and police were called once again after Medeiros allegedly threatened to kill Spiegel, and bit a security guard the building has hired.
"Every time the police and the firetrucks and all the EMS coming here, I think we're at hundreds of thousands of dollars to manage this, and still we're terrorized for 18 months," said one neighbor who has witnessed similar scenes repeatedly.
The Spiegels said they were told by the district attorney's office that Medeiros was in court late Tuesday afternoon, with a judge releasing him on his own recognizance and a limited order of protection. His attorney maintains that Medeiros has been falsely accused.

Meryl Streep's Golden Globes Speech Takes Aim At Donald Trump (Video)
By Empress Eve | @ | January 9th, 2017 at 3:54 am
If you were watching the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night, then you likely caught actress Meryl Streep's acceptance speech for the Cecil B. DeMille Award, an honorary award given by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association to a performer for their "outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment." The 67-year-old, three-time Oscar-winning actress used her time on stage to address concerns about Donald J. Trump without actually naming the U.S. President-Elect.
Streep, who's voiced was strained from "screaming and lamentation this weekend," she said, referring to the memorial she attended for actresses Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, made her first allusion to Trump and his incoming regime after thanking the Hollywood Foreign Press Association: "You [HFPA] and all of us in this room really belong to the most vilified segments in American society right now. Think about it: Hollywood, foreigners and the press."
Watch the full acceptance speech here below.

Disney In Depth: Blu-ray Review: 'Tomorrowland'

2-Disc Blu-ray | DVD | Digital
Directed by Brad Bird
Starring George Clooney, Britt Robertson, Hugh Laurie, Raffey Cassidy, Keegan-Michael Key, Kathryn Hahn and Thomas Robinson
Walt Disney Home Entertainment

Disney's sci-fi adventure Tomorrowland features an uneven mix of visual thrills and plot-heavy spills, but obtaining it on Blu-ray is worth the investment for viewers who appreciate absorbing cinematic experiences.
The movie defines that rare breed of film that complements its action-heavy sequences with mindfulness and highbrow concepts.

Disney In Depth: 'Tomorrowland': The Good, Bad, and Missed Potential
By Brett Nachman | @ | May 28th, 2015 at 3:00 pm
Brad Bird's latest action adventure is possibly his most complex, as he builds an intricate world with tons of "wow" moments – only matched by the same quantity of "oh, this could have been better" moments.
I loved Tomorrowland, even though I sighed nearly as often as I smiled with giddiness. The level of detail and consideration Bird and his production team put into Disney's sci-fi flick speak to the genius of the group on board. But there could have been too many cooks in this kitchen – or rather, too many crafty individuals on set.
What made Tomorrowland work, where did it suffer, and what aspects could have lent themselves to opportunities that were sadly not embraced? Here is my rundown.

Movie Review: Tomorrowland
By LA Spectre | May 22nd, 2015 at 5:12 pm
Written by: Damon Lindelof, Brad Bird, and Jeff Jensen
Starring George Clooney, Britt Robertson, Hugh Laurie, Raffey Cassidy
Rated PG | Run Time 130 Minutes
The mystery finally unfolds with the release of Disney's Tomorrowland. Taking its name from the area in both California's and Florida's Disney theme parks, the speculation ends here in regards to whether the film is clever advertising, or a picture that speaks to the legacy of Walt Disney's dreams for a sustainable world created by the world's greatest minds. Jensen and Lindelof based the film on an idea of Disney's original concept plans for an Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, but with an added narrative based around the story of girl genius Casey (Britt Robertson), who finds a pin that shows her a futuristic place where it's fun to do the impossible. After some internet research and nudging by an animatronic A.I. child named Athena (Raffey Cassidy), Casey arrives at the front door of former boy genius and inhabitant of Tomorrowland Frank Walker (George Clooney). Unable to convince him to show her the way to the place where rockets still fly and progress blooms, Walker gives in when secret animatronic agents are sent to eradicate them and attack his home. Also, this happens just as Casey discovers one of his inventions that forecasts the end of their world, and has a countdown ticking down the days. Before she finishes berating him for sitting there and doing nothing, they flee the happiest blaster-touting robots you've ever seen. And along with Athena, who reveals that something is broken in Tomorrowland, Casey and Frank discover that their creative minds make them dangerous to whatever took over the wonderful place, as they may be the only ones able to save it and the world.

'Tomorrowland' Trailer: Here Comes Disney's Mystery Sci-Fi Adventure
By eelyajekiM | @ | March 9th, 2015 at 4:32 pm
Much of Disney's Tomorrowland has been shrouded in secrecy. The film's title would suggest that Brad Bird's latest, written by Damon Lindelof, had strong ties to the sci-fi portion of the Disneyland theme park, but neither of them or the two trailers or the marketing itself would reveal any answers or confirm that notion.
All we knew was that a trading pin would instantly transport the holder to a highly futuristic city at lies somewhere between time and space.
Now a new trailer is offering more clues that will help unravel the mystery behind Tomorrowland. Hit the jump to check out the latest trailer for the film.

For the second time this month we must take a pause and mourn the loss of an actor whose very presence was guaranteed to lift any film they were in. Early this month I paid tribute to Michael Clarke Duncan, and now I'd like to do the same to Herbert Lom, who died in his sleep today aged 95.
In a career spanning more 60 years, Lom built himself a reputation as one of the finest supporting and character actors of his time. He did occasionally get top billing, being the original King of Siam in the stage version of The King & I, playing Napoleon Bonaparte twice (a perfect piece of casting), and winning acclaim and a cult following for his performance as The Phantom in Hammer's The Phantom of the Opera. But the vast majority of his best work was done in supporting roles, allowing Lom to craft a series of murky and intriguing roles that would very often steal the film from under the nose of its stars.
Lom was particularly adept at playing villains. In The Ladykillers, he gave Alec Guinness' 'Professor' Marcus a run for his money as the vicious continental gangster Louis Harvey. In the little-seen version of Dorian Gray from 1970, he was compelling as Henry Wotton, the smarmy cad who leads the main character astray. And in the 1975 version of And Then There Were None, based on the Agatha Christie novel, he was typically intense as Dr. Edward Armstrong, the Harley Street practioner accused of murdering one of his patients.
But of course, Lom's most famous performance is as Chief Inspector Charles Dreyfuss in The Pink Panther films. Lom appears in every film but the first, and his performance is one of the main reasons that the series works so well and survived so long. Partly this is because the character's madness and constant desire to kill Inspector Clouseau gave the series some form of continuity and character development even in its later, more episodic stages. But mostly it is because Dreyfuss reflects the audience's reaction, tracing the point where laughter turns to exasperation, desperation and finally despair at his incompetence. Lom and Peter Sellers had a love-hate relationship, but in both Pink Panther and The Ladykillers their chemistry is impeccable.
If you want to pay tribute to Lom's memory, I would suggest you either track down Hammer's Phantom or hold a Pink Panther marathon. You can read my review of A Shot in the Dark, Lom's first appearance in the series, here. RIP.


lol i asume you dont use those kitchen tools anymore though :p Mine are a little more modern but yeah i do cook too. when i feel like it. Too bad that homecooking is often more expensive then opening a box.
No, we don't use these. The cost (for us) is often way cheaper than getting processed foods, if you really make stuff from scratch. But, even if it were way more expensive I'd still do it. When we cook, we don't add preservatives and artifical dyes etc. Fresh food is way better for you with tons more vitamins etc., plus you can support local farmers. Tastes way better too. Comes down to (again, for us) - would you rather have an original Rembrandt, or a print?
Great photo and thanks for the sermon.

Clean Bandit and Years & Years are playing in Coventry - here's how to get tickets
Peter Ormerod
Two more chart-topping music artists have been added to a star-studded music festival in Coventry that has been billed as one of the biggest in the city's history.
Clean Bandit and Years & Years – who have collectively spent more than 100 weeks in the top 10 of the UK charts - will be heading to the Ricoh Arena on Sunday June 16 to perform on the second and final day of Soundscape Weekender.
They will join world-renowned DJ David Guetta and one of the biggest female acts in the UK in Anne-Marie, as well as highly-rated newcomer Mabel on the same day.
Clean Bandit, who have taken the UK charts by storm over the last four years, will bring their unique brand of electro-pop to the Ricoh Arena to perform chart-topping songs such as Rockabye and Symphony, as well as the Grammy award-winning single Rather Be.
Synth-pop band Years & Years have been firm-favourites on the festival circuit after rising to popularity in 2015 with their breakout hit King.
They have since gone on to land other big-hitting numbers such as Shine, If You're Over Me and Sunlight.
"This music festival is all about offering a range of high-calibre acts at a low price," said Dan Nelmes, director at Showtime Live, which is organising the Soundscape Weekender.
"People can see seven performances from some of the most in-demand artists in the world, plus a 90-minute headline set from David Guetta, for the same cost as going to see a gig featuring a couple of artists.
"Clean Bandit and Years & Years are two of the biggest names on the UK music circuit at the moment and are fantastic additions to the line-up, and we're incredibly excited to see what they both have in store for us in June.
"We're getting closer to having our full Sunday line-up revealed with two more artists to announce over the next few days."
Justine Hewitt, head of operations at the Ricoh Arena, added: "This city is set for a fantastic weekend of music – the calibre of artists on offer is second to none and is fast becoming the must-see music festival next year. We can't wait to see who is booked in to perform on day one!"
Tickets for Sunday June 16 are on sale now. Details about tickets for day one on Saturday 15 June – which is dedicated to the indie, rock and alternative genres - will be announced at a later date.
Tickets are priced from as low as £49 per day with hospitality packages also available, tickets can be purchased by visiting www.soundscapeweekender.co.uk or www.ricoharena.com
X Factor winners added to Coventry festival line up
Our review of Bring Me The Horizon's stunning Birmingham show


One Does Not Simply Walk Into Mordor - Sell. Buy. On The Fly.
Its black gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep. The Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust. This, my friends, is a perfect description of our competitive landscape. It seems like every week someone forwards me an email of a new aero marketplace that has entered our playing field. I'd be lying to you if I said I didn't openly creep bust and troll through these sites. The promise of millions of listings or a modern, streamlined experienced is enough for any marketplace General Manager to trigger deep breathing exercises.
But you know what I think all of those sites did? I think they simply walked into Mordor. And called it a day.
Whether there are 15 sites trying to do the same thing or 20 sites, it matters not. Why? Because there is one theme that rings true among all of them. No one has cracked the ecommerce nut in this $4B industry. In fact, if only 2.5% of the transactions are done through ecommerce—even with all the competition trolling about—this means that the One Ring to rule them all is ours for the taking. Here are the weapons we have brought on our trek through Mordor.
The trusted Honeywell name. As we dig deeper into forming relationships with various parties—OEM's, airlines, traders, brokers, channel partners—it becomes so much more evident why the Honeywell name behind us is such an advantage. By basis of name alone, Mother Honeywell opens doors.
Another weapon? Our psychotic, almost unhealthy passion to nail the digital experience. Rich, visual listings. Speedy check out process. Customizable and easy to set up storefronts. Pricing transparency. Dynamic negotiations. Responsive pages. Stellar customer support. But this isn't enough. Why? Because I firmly believe that the key to all of this is committing ourselves to breaking apart the boulder of ambiguity. We will use data, technology, customer insight, and humility to figure this out.
Our final nuclear missile? Ridiculous access to super smart and talented people. Startups in a garage don't just have branding people, video production companies and marketing all-stars on the ready. They ask their parents to edit their videos. We have unrivaled design and User Experience talent. A legal staff for every category imaginable (yes, trademark, contracts, patents, tax—all different areas). Information Technology resources who can navigate murky waters and sail us towards true north. And a finance guy who makes us stretch the American dollar so far he puts Gumby to shame.
So, is GoDirect Trade just waltzing into Mordor? I think not.

Pellestrina. A long strip of earth and sand, quilted colourful fishermen's houses, marked by a strip of asphalt that unfolds along an ancient city wall made of huge blocks of stone as white as snow.
On one side the open sea which ends up on the rocks of the Upper Adriatic in Croatia, across an expanse of sea that looks like a placid lake studded with piles and piles: "bricole" are called, are used to delimit navigation channels to avoid to be stranded between the sandbanks beaches covered by a few centimeters of water. Along the shore, the expanse of boats and fishing vessels as far as the eye can see.
That's what the island of Pellestrina: the clear boundary between the lagoon and the open sea that goes for 11 kilometers, between the channels of Chioggia and Malamocco.
A thin barrier suspended between sea and lagoon, which measures just 500 meters at its widest point: what is just enough to host the two towns Pellestrina and San Pietro in Volta.
Rich in vegetable gardens and small coloured houses, the island is a pearl of nature and of human intelligence, a charming spot where the relationship between man and lagoon is still tight and intense is the activity in this delicate ecosystem: hunting, fishing , agriculture, tourism. Even today, the lace makers, the housewives sitting on their front doors to make leaping bobbin laces using the lace pillow.
A strip of land protected from the impetuosity of the sea water by one of the most powerful defenses that the Serenissima was able to build in the '700 to save her city: the Murazzi, an artificial reef, vertical to the lagoon and dripping towards the Adriatic.
It was built with blocks of Istrian stone processed in crude form for a stretch of about twenty kilometers, between those coasts that are the natural defense of the artistic, cultural and economic development that finds its core in Venice.
Besides the Murazzi, the erosion of the open sea had left only a simple cliff, until some years ago, through a system of brushes transverse seats at regular intervals has been restored to the original setting, with a wide sandy beach It has practically doubled the size of the island.
The lagoon is an ancient work of nature. Human art took possession of the most eminent points, and so Venice was born, connecting in itself a hundred islands, surrounded by a hundred others (Johann Wolfgang Goethe)
The island is crossed by a paved road that runs along the embankment from the landing stage of Santa Maria del Mare, towards Venice, to Pellestrina to Chioggia, where a dirt road leads through the woods of Ca' Roman, which is a nature reserve of sand dunes covered with typical Mediterranean scrub.
Ca' Roman is the green lung of the island, which opens for about forty hectares of beach, dunes and scrubland. It is the last refuge for many species of flora and fauna: pine trees turned into protected natural oasis, dwelling in particular of two bird species, the snowy plover and the little tern, which have found their ideal habitat.
A fascinating journey that you can do by bus or bicycle. The island is reached by boat from Chioggia, where you can pick up the bicycles, or the Lido of Venice by ferry from Faro Rocchetta.
Suggestion. Park on Union Island in Chioggia and reach the pier ACTV Piazzetta Vigo. As soon as the boat arrives in Pellestrina there is the coincidence of the bus to the Lido of Venice where you can sail to St. Mark's Square. But on the way back while returning it is worth stopping at one of the three locations on the island of Pellestrina, to stand on the sea walls and walk on the natural beach that runs along the entire island.
