Nineteen Reservoirs: On Their Creation and the Promise of Water for New York City
Lucy Sante
Tim Davis
The Experiment, 2022
2019 | Places Journal, Reservoir: Nature, Culture, Infrastructure
Tim Davis, "Ashokan Reservoir," 2020. Courtesy the photographer
Without the upstate reservoir system that brings fresh water to New York City, the city would have faded into insignificance. But this engineering triumph had a cost. From 1907 to 1967, 26 upstate villages, farms, forests, and other natural areas were bought for a fraction of their value, demolished, then submerged to create the Catskills and Delaware watershed systems. Compelled to understand "the air of permanent mourning" in their vicinity, this book marshals the same gifts that made Sante's previous book, Low Life (FSG, 1991), a now-classic of New York City history: a meticulously detailed accounting of their creation, a trove of rarely seen visual history, and a master of literary nonfiction's sensibility for the essential paradox at the heart of this story: the triumph New York City's 19 reservoir system represents, and the tragedy of its creation.
Lucy Sante was born in Verviers, Belgium, and is the author of seven books, her first being Low Life (FSG, 1991). Sante's other books include Evidence, The Factory of Facts, Kill All Your Darlings, The Other Paris, Folk Photography, and, most recently, Maybe the People Would Be the Times. She is the recipient of a Whiting Award, Guggenheim and Cullman fellowships, an Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, a Grammy (for album notes), and an Infinity Award for Writing from the International Center of Photography. Sante has contributed to the New York Review of Books since 1981 and to many other publications. She teaches writing and the history of photography at Bard College and lives in Ulster County, New York.
Tim Davis studied photography at Bard College, graduating in 1991. He pursued a career as a poet and editor in New York before returning to photography, receiving an MFA from Yale University in 2001. He has since had solo shows in Brussels, Geneva, London, Milan, and New York, including a recent exhibition at the Bohen Foundation. His work is in the collections of the Guggenheim, Whitney, Brooklyn, and Metropolitan Museums in New York; the Milwaukee Museum of Art; the High Museum of Art, Atlanta; the Baltimore Museum; the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC; and numerous others. His fourth book of photographs and essays, I'm Looking Through You, was published by Aperture in May 2021. He teaches photography at Bard College.
Launched in 2009, The Experiment was so named because every book is a test of new ideas.

The giant Norfolk Perpendicular church with a remote village around it is a bit of a cliche - and yet, here it is. St Bartholomew is vast, and Brisley is remote, in the winding lanes between Dereham and Fakenham. The church utterly dominates the place, and it is hard to stand somewhere and not either see it or be aware of its presence.
Think of what that must have been like in the late middle ages! We often talk about the hugeness of these churches as being an offering to the glory of God, but it the sheer presence of a place like St Bartholomew doesn't half concentrate the mind on the spiritual side of life. It must have been both a comfort and a terrifying reminder of last things, and the world to come.
Brisley is a fairly sizeable place, or relatively so in this remote area of narrow lanes and straggling hamlets. There was something about it that made it seem more urban than it was, and it took me a moment to put my finger on it. Then I noticed the telegraph wires - they line the graveyard, cutting across each other as they connect to the houses on the other side of the road. It isn't terribly attractive. Ironically, of course, we are gradually doing away with such things in town, replacing them with radio links and underground fibre-optic cables. But here in the heart of rural Norfolk such things still create a kind of visual pollution. It took some creative use of Paintshop Pro to remove them from the image at the top of the page.
The hugeness of St Bartholomew is accentuated by the sheer bulk of the tower, and also by the way that the four stages work together. The lowest stage is the biggest, and the enormous west window is set within a kind of blank arch. The aisles squeeze the nave up into a clerestory to the east of the tower, with a large chancel on its own beyond. The tall chancel windows create a sense of the building pushing back against the tower, a delightful tension.
Some of these great 15th century churches were over-restored in the 19th century, turning them into urban, anonyomous spaces inside that might as well be in the centre of a busy town. But St Bartholomew was not one of them, and to enter it today is to find yourself in an utterly rustic, even ramshackle place. It is very atmospheric, a delight if you, like me, enjoy rough and ready churches. The ranges of old benches with their traceried backs line the stone floors under old roofs with head bosses, and the walls around are speckled and dappled with flaking patches and hints of colour. There are some wall paintings remaining, including the haunting face of one St Christopher, the stooped body of a second and the unusual survival of St Andrew carrying his cross.
A third figure is claimed as St Bartholomew; well, I couldn't really say, but there is a fine angel in a window splay in the north aisle which obviously once formed the back of an image niche.
Brisley is a church of idiosyncracies, of a hundred little details that make the place unique. There are a number of carved 15th century bench ends, including an engaging dog with a goose in its mouth. As at neighbouring Gateley the font is primitive and bulky, and topped off by a jaunty coloured cover. In 1753, the church put up its new George II royal arms. These are signed at the bottom by G Betler and F Frohawk, who cleaned and repaired them in 1854.
The famous brass is up in the chancel, depicting Priest John Athorne. It is right on the very eve of the Reformation, 1531, and would be one of the last of its kind in England. It shows him wearing Mass vestments and holding an ornate chalice with the host rising from it. The inscription records that he was Rector of Horningtoft, a nearby parish.
Athorne's inscription, which also asks for prayers for his soul, is in Latin, but another brass inscription in the nave has something similar in English. This is to Robert Markayte and Rose his wife, and dates from 1525. It is an unusual survival, and a haunting one, because it still contains both clauses that normally incurred the wrath of Anglican iconoclasts; Of your Charyte pray for the sowles of... it begins, and concludes on whose sowles Jsu have Mcy Amen.
Another interesting inscription is on a ledger stone. P.M.S. it begins, and then Heer under William Scrivenors dust (whose life both pious was and just) as in a bed of down doth rest in hope to rise among the blest - and that's all. Presumably, it was a member of Scrivenor's family, perhaps an infant. But we are not even told the name. Nearby, there is another brass inscription, a very terse memorial: here lyeth buried the body of Christopher Athorne who dyed the 22 of October 1585, Anno Aetatis sum ('his age was') 72. Athorne, of course, was the name of the Priest whose effigy appears up in the chancel. To have died age 72 in 1585 would have meant he was nephew or great-nephew of the old man, and probably just old enough to remember Catholic England - although his inscription reveals no shred of sympathy for it.
Perhaps the most memorable feature of St Bartholomew is to be found when you have stepped through the 15th century screen into the chancel. There is a doorway to the north which leads down into the crypt below the sanctuary. This is well worth a visit, and is usually open to the public. You climb down a narrow flight of stairs into a space which is curiously light and clean. I could imagine it as a wine cellar of some kind, perhaps. It is less easy to populate it in your mind with piles of coffins. A notice on the wall tells you that it was once used to accomodate prisoners overnight on the long journey from Kings Lynn assizes to the gallows in Norwich. Imagine spending the night here with your execution in prospect for the day ahead! Not a happy thought.


Micro needling with PRP basically allows the PRP to penetrate superficially through the epidermis where the tiny punctures have been created. this is typically only 1-2 millimeters deep. Injections, however place the PRP deep where the places often need it the most. In this area, the dermis, where many of the issues being treated are located can be directly addressed. That way the skin is "hit" from all angles, meaning superficially and then deep. This treatment is recommended for clients who would like advanced treatment with fine lines and wrinkles or who have scarring.
Apart from the injections, the procedure is the same as micro needling with PRP. During your procedure, an team member from Dr Waters staff will come in to inject PRP in the areas of concern that the client has discussed with the esthetician prior to treatment.
In addition to the expectations of treatment of micro needling with PRP, clients may notice bruising at injection site(s).

In a victory over Amazon, Microsoft wins $10B Pentagon JEDI cloud contract
by globalpro | Oct 28, 2019 | Finance | 0 comments
The U.S. Department of Defense today announced that Microsoft has won its Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI) cloud contract, worth up to $10 billion over a period of 10 years. With this, Microsoft will provide infrastructure and platform services for both the Pentagon's business and mission operations.
"The National Defense Strategy dictates that we must improve the speed and effectiveness with which we develop and deploy modernized technical capabilities to our women and men in uniform," DOD Chief Information Officer Dana Deasy said in a related announcement. "The DOD Digital Modernization Strategy was created to support this imperative. This award is an important step in execution of the Digital Modernization Strategy."
Microsoft beat out Amazon in the final round for this lucrative contract after the two cloud giants beat out other competitors like IBM and Oracle in an earlier round. Most pundits considered Amazon to be the frontrunner to win the deal.
"We're surprised about this conclusion. AWS is the clear leader in cloud computing, and a detailed assessment purely on the comparative offerings clearly lead to a different conclusion," an Amazon spokesperson told us in an emailed comment. "We remain deeply committed to continuing to innovate for the new digital battlefield where security, efficiency, resiliency, and scalability of resources can be the difference between success and failure."
The process to get to this point has been anything but uncomplicated, though, with various lawsuits, last-minute recusals and other controversies, with even the president getting involved at one point.
It'll remain to be seen how Microsoft's employees will react to this news. Last year, a number of Microsoft employees posted an open letter asking the company not to bid for the contract. More recently, its employees also protested against GitHub's relatively small $200,000 contract with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. Against this backdrop, chances are we'll see similar protests now that the company has won this deal with the Pentagon.
Update: Amazon provided us with a comment. We've added it to the story above. We've also reached out to Microsoft for a comment and will add that once/if we receive it.
Microsoft continues to build government security credentials ahead of JEDI decision
Much to Oracle's chagrin, Pentagon names Microsoft and Amazon as $10B JEDI cloud contract finalists

Bisharp (Japanese: キリキザン Kirikizan) is a Metal-type Stage 1 Pokémon card. It was first released as part of the Kalos Starter Set.
This card was released in the Kalos Starter Set, originating from the Japanese XY Beginning Set. It was later reprinted as both a Non Holofoil and Holofoil card in the English Bisharp Half Deck of the XY Trainer Kit: Bisharp & Wigglytuff.
Metal Claw is a move in the Pokémon games that Bisharp can learn. Wicked Jab's Japanese name is that of Throat Chop, a move later introduced in the Generation VII Pokémon games that Bisharp can learn via Move Tutor. This card's Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon X.


By a narrow margin, the Senate mustered the three-fifths majority needed to overcome Hogan's bid last week to block the oyster sanctuary bill. The vote in the chamber was 29 to 16. The House had voted more emphatically, 96-43, on Friday to override Hogan's veto.
The Senate override vote came a day after the death of House Speaker Michael Busch, chief sponsor of the House version of the sanctuary bill. Prince George's County Sen. Paul Pinsky was lead sponsor of a Senate version and chief advocate for it in that chamber.
The measure requires legislative approval to alter the sanctuaries in five tributaries where major reef restoration work is completed, under way or planned by 2025. The state Department of Natural Resources had created the sanctuaries by regulation but has entertained proposals in the past couple of years to open some areas to harvest.
The bill had the backing of environmental groups, who pointed to a recent state study finding that Maryland's stock of market-size oysters has declined by half since 1999 and that more than half of the state's public fishery areas are being overharvested.
But watermen opposed the bill, contending that the sanctuaries aren't helping to restore the oyster population. They have pressed the state to open portions of some sanctuaries — including at least one of those affected by the bill — to let them try harvesting oysters on a rotational basis every few years, a management method used in Virginia.
Environmental groups hailed the veto override. Alison Prost, Maryland executive director of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, called it "another milestone" in the Bay's recovery and the revival of the state's depleted oyster population, estimated to be at 1 or 2 percent of historic levels.
Hogan's veto had appeared unlikely to stand, because the bill originally passed with enough votes for an override. But with watermen's groups urging him to veto it — one group's letter called it a "crushing" blow to commercial fishermen — the governor refused to sign it or let it become law without his signature. He issued a strongly worded denunciation of it Thursday night, calling it "bad policy" both for watermen and the Bay.
Hogan complained that codifying the sanctuaries through legislation undermined his administration's efforts to forge a consensus over oyster management among environmentalists and watermen, who have long been at odds over the issue.
Oyster restoration work is essentially complete in Harris Creek, and surveys have found the shellfish thriving and reproducing there. Similar work is in various stages of construction or planning in the other four rivers — the Tred Avon, Little Choptank, St. Mary's and Manokin. Major portions of all five are in sanctuaries, off limits to commercial oyster harvest.
The state is effectively prevented from opening sanctuaries in Harris Creek and the Tred Avon to harvest because federal funds helped to pay for the work on the condition that no harvest be allowed. But the Department of Natural Resources has said it plans to restore the St. Mary's and Manokin with state funds only, which leaves open the possibility of changing their designation later. Robert T. Brown Sr., president of the Maryland Watermen's Association, has urged the DNR to open a portion of the St. Mary's sanctuary for the removal of seed oysters because it had been used for that purpose in the past.
A stakeholder group including both watermen and environmentalists agreed last year on a plan for managing oysters in the Choptank region, which includes three of the five restoration tributaries — Harris Creek and the Tred Avon and Little Choptank. The OysterFutures group, organized by the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, had urged the state to allow rotational harvesting in the sanctuary in the Little Choptank.
The DNR has said it is considering the group's proposals, and Hogan criticized the Chesapeake Bay Foundation for participating in that consensus-building process, only to push later for this legislation, which would prevent opening any of the Little Choptank sanctuary without legislative approval.
CBF's Prost said that the organization had signed onto the entire package of OysterFutures recommendations, which also included provisions to increase oyster fishery taxes, limit access to the fishery and work with federal partners to complete oyster restoration projects. To date, she added, the DNR has taken no action on any of them.
The Nature Conservancy, which has helped with Bay oyster restoration projects, issued a statement praising the sanctuary bill as well as another measure recently passed, which calls for the DNR to try consensus-building again in drawing up a new statewide oyster management plan - even though some watermen have said they'd be reluctant to participate in such an exercise again because of the way the legislature negated one of the OysterFutures recommendations.

Q: show that the mid-perpendicular segments AB and CD intersect at the bisector The ABCDE pentagon has all angles of the same measure. How to show that the mid-perpendicular segments AB and CD intersect at the bisector of the angle DEA?
Is this pentagon regular or another? Maybe this problem has simple solution, but i don,t konow how to do it.
My attempts:
Let E be a cut point AB i CD. I've tried notice in triangles AEF and DEF, but im stuck.

A: Let $F$ be an intersection point of the mid-perpendiculars, $\measuredangle FAB=\measuredangle FBA=\alpha,$
$\measuredangle FCD=\measuredangle FDC=\beta$ and $\measuredangle FEA=x$.
Thus, by law of sines we obtain:
$$1=\frac{AF}{EF}\cdot\frac{BF}{AF}\cdot\frac{CF}{BF}\cdot\frac{DF}{CF}\cdot\frac{EF}{DF}=$$
$$=\frac{\sin{x}}{\sin(108^{\circ}-\alpha)}\cdot1\cdot\frac{\sin(108^{\circ}-\alpha)}{\sin(108^{\circ}-\beta)}\cdot1\cdot\frac{\sin(108^{\circ}-\beta)}{\sin(108^{\circ}-x)}=\frac{\sin{x}}{\sin(108^{\circ}-x)},$$
which gives $x=54^{\circ}$ and we are done!
Another way (L.Radzivilovski,R.Leker).
Let $AE\cap BC=\{P\}$ and $DE\cap BC=\{Q\}$.
Thus, inside bisectors from $P$ and $Q$ of $\Delta PQE$ are placed on mid-perpendiculars to segments $AB$ and $CD$ respectively.

Exclusive: Dita Von Teese makes a mean margarita
And does a great line in underwear too
By ELLE UK
We would like to hang out with Dita Von Teese please. The burlesque kitten was in town to promote the launch of her new underwear range 'Von Follies' in the UK, and to impart some of her allure to the London masses.
The underwear line – for Target Australia – is testament to her love for all things vintage, with details like sculptural overwiring and licks of high-waisted lace promising to recreate that famous fifties hourglass shape that the dancer has built her career on.
To make the transition from dancer to designer, all Von Teese had to do was delve into her two closets and four chests of lingerie to see what really worked. 'I've worked in lingerie from the age of fifteen to twenty five, when I worked as a lingerie sales girl, so it's great to be able to use my years of experience to create something that I am really passionate about,' she explained.
In a quick-fire knicker interrogation, we discovered that she prefers a balcony over a plunge, a waspie over a basque and a French knicker over a thong. And always stockings, never hold-ups.
But what we really loved the sound of was Von Teese's deliciously decadent routine when getting ready for a night out on the town: 'I wear a vintage Chinese-style robe or 50s slip, put on some music and have a cocktail while I'm getting ready – usually a margarita. I always have limes, tequila and Cointreau on hand – it's easy – and strong.'
Indeed this sacred part of a woman's ritual is something that the nascent designer would like to focus on in her next collection. 'I'd love to do a line of loungewear because it's so important; just because it's comfortable doesn't mean it can't be fabulous. I've just got to convince them first that it's necessary to have extravagant loungewear, and I've got a closet full of vintage robes from the thirties and forties to use as inspiration.'
Von Teese admits that she has so much underwear that she could go for 'easily a year if not more without having to do laundry.' Which must be useful for her globetrotting lifestyle. When in London, she always like to stop off at Claridges, and have lunch at the Wolseley or the Arts Club. '
Mainly the swanky places,' she confided, 'but next time I need someone to show me around so I can discover the less fancy spots.'
Von Follies is priced from £20 and is stocked at www.debenhams.com

Back in the Ring
Outside of Powell's campaign headquarters (center) on DeKalb & Bedford. Photo by Walter Chiu.
The writer and activist Kevin Powell is back trying to unseat Rep. Ed Towns, and there are reasons to believe that the third time could be a charm. Approaching this summer's campaign with a better fundraising and organizational infrastructure, Powell feels confident that he can make some key players take notice. Already heated, the battle in central Brooklyn pits a veteran pol versus a determined insurgent. Towns may have the deep pockets and close relationships to the party brass, but the challenger will bring passion into the ring.
At a high-profile late April launch event in TriBeCa, Powell contrasted his ongoing community organizing work in the 10th Congressional District—which runs from Fort Greene through Bed-Stuy to East New York—with Towns's relatively low impact. Though in office for 27 years, Towns has been largely "absent" in terms of helping the district, Powell said, citing the congressman's lack of record in terms of bringing home the goods. Unlike Charles Rangel, Towns has not created an economic empowerment zone in the mostly low-income area he represents.
Held at hip-hop impresario Damon Dash's art gallery, the TriBeCa event illustrated Powell's ability to bring together celebrities and community activists. In addition to Dash, the designer Marc Ecko also served as a host for the event. Ecko stressed that Powell can "authentically connect" with people, and "wear his principles on his sleeve." Such commitment explained the presence of the wide cross-section of folks from Brooklyn and beyond, including Khary Lazarre-White of Harlem's Brotherhood/Sister Sol, Lucy Koteen of Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn, and Josh Skaller and Chris Owens of Central Brooklyn Independent Democrats.
One of the major lessons Powell learned from his previous losses to Towns is the paramount importance of fundraising. Bolstered by celebrity contributions such as Chris Rock's $2,400, Powell has raised nearly $100k; although Towns has raised nearly $900k, according to opensecrets.org, by the end of March he had already spent more than $725k. Powell notes that in his past campaigns, he tapped only "about 20%" of his national network. He intends to go all-out this year, raising money from Hollywood to Brooklyn, where he's planning monthly events through the September primary.
Powell is also ready to knock on many doors. His campaign manager, Dan Campanelli—who ran Skaller's solid-second bid for Bill de Blasio's City Council seat—has closely studied the district's voting patterns over the last two cycles. While Towns's percentage of the vote was definitive in 2008 (67%), the total number of votes was not great (approx 33,500)—which certainly puts the incumbent in striking distance. The Working Families Party, of course, could give the challenger a crucial boost. Powell says that "provided we first show that we're a viable campaign," he is "optimistic" that the WFP would back him.
It's nearly certain that the key players in the local Democratic Party will not support Powell's bid, however. In 2008, both the Clintons and Chuck Schumer came out strong for Towns, the party veteran. While there's no love lost between Towns and Vito Lopez, the Brooklyn party boss will probably sit it out (unless prodded by the WFP). Rumor has it that Lopez is waiting for Towns to retire so that he can push a different candidate into the seat. Meanwhile, Powell vows to continue working with the party reform groups like the New Kings Democrats and the Central Brooklyn Independent Dems, as well as everyone "tired of old-school machine politics."
In terms of vision, Powell frequently invokes then-Senator Robert F. Kennedy's role in helping launch the Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation in 1967. While the organization remains in place today and can claim Towns's support, the congressman has not generated similar efforts elsewhere in the district. Brownsville and East New York have not exactly prospered over the last few decades—while that continued decline is by no means entirely his fault, it's indeed difficult to see what Towns has delivered for his constituents. Or, as Powell puts it, "After nearly three decades in office, what will his legacy be?"
As detailed on his website, Powell has a wide-ranging platform, proposing a vast array of initiatives that would cover everything from funding for school nurses to the creation of "four pilot community centers throughout the district that house community education, public health initiatives, and allow open public space for dialogue about the future of our district." He and his policy director, Aaron Golembiewski, have been consulting with experts and activists across the country on health care and other issues. In particular, Powell has been working with Van Jones on a variety of green jobs initiatives, which comprise a centerpiece of his platform. (Despite the Glenn Beck-fueled controversy, Jones became Obama's Special Advisor on Green Jobs precisely because of his expertise on the subject.)
Powell's campaign headquarters will open in May on Dekalb and Bedford, where Clinton Hill and Bed-Stuy meet. He says that the office will double as a community center, and that he and his team will provide constituent services—"there's a bus stop right outside the front door," he adds. Meantime, Powell, along with field director Gene Johnson and campaign volunteers, are fanning out across the district in order to conduct a "needs assessment." They will go from barbershop and beauty salon in central Brooklyn to the synagogues of South Williamsburg in order to listen to everyday concerns.
As a certain presidential candidate used to say, "power flows from the bottom up." That may not be the case in D.C. right now, but a few more community organizers in the House certainly couldn't hurt.
Nora Sayre's New York
Nora Sayre is not often included on the roster of great New York writers, but she should be. In fact, Sayre is best known for her books about the Cold War and her work as a film critic for the Times in the 70s. (She died in 2001, just short of her 69th birthday.) Yet in the late 60s, while serving as the New York correspondent for the New Statesman of London, Sayre churned out essays on par with James Baldwin's classics of the era. And reading them today sheds light on why the city used to produce so much more great writing about itself.
As a foreign correspondent in the pre-Internet era, Sayre had the luxury of writing about the city for a smart audience familiar with the city but not able to regularly check its pulse. In her introduction to Sixties Going on Seventies, a collection of her essays (Rutgers University Press, 1996), Sayre recalls that she had "enormous editorial freedom" and highlights the "pleasure [of] being a foreign correspondent in the city where I was raised." She held that position through the tumultuous last half of the decade, noting that by 1968, she was "feeling rather like a war correspondent." Vietnam, of course, was not the only conflict she had in mind.
As revealed in Sayre's essays, the city in the late 60s was the site of many battlefronts, over sex, drugs, race, politics, capitalism, and socialism. In her writings, Sayre provided a bird's eye view of goings-on including Timothy Leary's League for Spiritual Discovery (a.k.a. LSD) workshops, philosophy classes taken by then-retired cops at the newly formed John Jay College, clubs dedicated to the teachings of Ayn Rand, and the Digger encampments in Tompkins Square. So many subcultures produced a natural flow of good material.
But the many different languages required an interpreter, especially for a foreign audience. Sayre's best essay, "New York for Natives," published in 1969, showcased the knowledge of the city she had gained from both books and the streets, her range spanning high culture to low. Not many writers would feel comfortable quoting both James brothers (Henry and William) and singing the praises of the Municipal Asphalt Plant in the same essay. Sayre gladly details her frequent Yorkville encounters with an aging Fiorello LaGuardia, whose small white bulldog regularly entangled with her "lumpy spaniel" on John Finley Walk; it was "an honor to annoy the former mayor," she wryly observes.
From Yorkville to Brownsville, turf meant everything to New Yorkers of the era. For Sayre:
"No one is daft enough to claim that New York is a work of art. But it's a series of theaters which can reward a participating audience....When physical realms outside your own seem inhuman, the emotional dependence on a few blocks answers an almost animal need. And certain New Yorkers seem almost helplessly committed to the crises on their own turf....My addicts, my muggers, my transit strike: these involve some of us more deeply than any national statistics."
Perhaps it's wrong-headed to get nostalgic for the city of the late 60s, when chaos lurked around the corner. But it was a headier time, with competing ideologies in the air. Nowadays, the crass culture spawned by Ayn Rand reigns supreme, power is centralized, and the meaning of neighborhoods is determined by statistics. It's no wonder that there aren't more people writing like Nora Sayre.

If you want to run online tests, you also need to set environment variables `KLARNA_MERCHANT_ID`
and `KLARNA_SHARED_SECRET` with your Klarna API test credentials.
These are also needed for examples, provided in docs/example/invoice
(they are used usually around lines 12-13 of the examples, but you can modify them and provide credentials differently).

## Basic Usage

The following gateways are provided by this package:

* `Klarna\Invoice`
* `Klarna\Checkout` (only available in branch dev-feature/checkout)

Gateways in this package have following required options:

* `merchantId`
* `sharedSecret`

To get those please contact your Klarna representative.

Additionally these options could be specified:

* `testMode`
* `country`
* `language`
* `currency`

You can set up country, language and currency (for supported countries) at once using `setLocale()` method.

For meaning of `testMode` see general [Omnipay documentation](https://thephpleague.com/omnipay)

### Usage of gateway `Klarna\Invoice`

Gateway `Klarna\Invoice` supports these request-sending methods:

* `authorize()`
* `capture()`
* `checkOrderStatus()`

For use and expected parameters see unit tests and example code

#### authorize()

You may see [official documentation](https://developers.klarna.com/en/at+php/kpm/invoice-part-payment/3-create-order)
and related links for additional information.

Method `authorize()` may have an array with parameters as its optional argument,
or parameters could be specified via setters on returned `InvoiceAuthorizeRequest` object.

These are required parameters:

* `merchantId` *(may be inherited from gateway)*
* `sharedSecret` *(may be inherited from gateway)*
* `country` *(may be inherited from gateway)*
* `language` *(may be inherited from gateway)*
* `currency` *(may be inherited from gateway)*
* `card`
* `items`

These are optional parameters:

* `amount`
* `transactionId` alias for `orderId1`
* `orderId2`

If `amount` is not provided, it is set to `-1` and `items` are used to calculate the amount.
You may use method `calculateAmount()` to check this value.

##### Card

Customer personal and contact data could be sent via `card` parameter or `setCard()` setter method,
either in form of an array or a
[`Subscribo\Omnipay\Shared\CreditCard`](https://github.com/Subscribo/omnipay-subscribo-shared/blob/master/src/Shared/CreditCard.php) object
extending [`Omnipay\Common\CreditCard`](http://omnipay.thephpleague.com/api/cards)

Following card parameters might be used:

**Personal parameters:**

* `gender` for DE/AT/NL
* `birthday` for DE/AT/NL
* `nationalIdentificationNumber` - personal number for other countries; also may by used for company number when needed

**Address parameters:**

* `phone`
* `mobile`
* `firstName`
* `lastName`
* `postCode`
* `city`
* `country`
* `company`
* `address1`
* `address2`

For DE/AT/NL you can pass house number as `address2`,
for other countries is `address2` simply attached with space to `address1`.

You can pass also different shipping address using shipping variants of parameters, i.e. `shippingFirstName`...

##### Items

Shopping cart items should be sent via `items` parameter or `setItems()` setter method,
either in form of an array of arrays, or an array of
[`Subscribo\Omnipay\Shared\Item`](https://github.com/Subscribo/omnipay-subscribo-shared/blob/master/src/Shared/Item.php) objects
or a [`Subscribo\Omnipay\Shared\ItemBag`](https://github.com/Subscribo/omnipay-subscribo-shared/blob/master/src/Shared/ItemBag.php) object.

Following item parameters might be used:

* `name` ("title")
* `identifier` ("article number")
* `quantity`
* `price`
* `taxPercent` ("VAT")
* `discountPercent` ("discount")
* `flags`

##### Sending

When all required parameters are set on `InvoiceAuthorizeRequest` object,
you can call its method `send()`, to receive `InvoiceAuthorizeResponse` object.

`InvoiceAuthorizeResponse` object has following methods:

* `isSuccessful()` - alias for `isAccepted()`
* `isWaiting()` - alias for `isPending()`
* `getInvoiceStatus()`
* `getReservationNumber`
* `getMessage()`
* `getCode()`

In case authorization was successful, you can use `getReservationNumber()` for parameter of `capture()` gateway call.
In case authorization is waiting, you can use `getReservationNumber()`
for parameter of later `checkOrderStatus()` gateway call.

###### Errors and exceptions

If authorization was rejected, `getMessage()` should contain displayable message for customer
and `getCode()` exception code number.
In case of technical error a `KlarnaException` should be thrown.

Important note: in the background, `KlarnaException` is thrown for both technical errors
and for authorization rejections. However, if the code is below 0 or over 1100,
it is converted to `InvoiceAuthorizeResponse`.
See https://developers.klarna.com/en/at+php/kpm/error-codes for more details.

#### capture()

Method `capture()` may have an array with parameters as its optional argument,
or parameters could be specified via setters on returned `InvoiceAuthorizeRequest` object.

These are required parameters:

* `merchantId` *(may be inherited from gateway)*
* `sharedSecret` *(may be inherited from gateway)*
* `country` *(may be inherited from gateway)*
* `language` *(may be inherited from gateway)*
* `currency` *(may be inherited from gateway)*
* `reservationNumber`

These are optional parameters:

* `OCRNumber`
* `flags`
* `transactionId` alias for `orderId1`
* `orderId2`

##### Sending

When all required parameters are set on `InvoiceCaptureRequest` object,
you can call its method `send()`, to receive `InvoiceCaptureResponse` object.

`InvoiceCaptureResponse` object has following methods:

* `isSuccessful()` - alias for `isAccepted()`
* `getTransactionReference` alias for `getInvoiceNumber()`
* `getRiskStatus()`
* `getMessage()`
* `getCode()`

For error and exception handling see [Errors and Exceptions](#errors-and-exceptions) above.

#### checkOrderStatus()

Method `checkOrderStatus()` may have an array with parameters as its optional argument,
or parameters could be specified via setters on returned `InvoiceCheckOrderStatusRequest` object.

These are required parameters:

* `merchantId` *(may be inherited from gateway)*
* `sharedSecret` *(may be inherited from gateway)*
* `country` *(may be inherited from gateway)*
* `language` *(may be inherited from gateway)*
* `currency` *(may be inherited from gateway)*

One of these parameters is also required:

* `reservationNumber`
* `invoiceNumber`
* `orderId` or its alias `transactionId`

##### Sending

When all required parameters are set on `InvoiceCheckOrderStatusRequest` object,
you can call its method `send()`, to receive `InvoiceCheckOrderStatusResponse` object.

`InvoiceCaptureResponse` object has following methods:

* `isSuccessful()` - alias for `isAccepted()`
* `isWaiting()` - alias for `isPending()`
* `isDenied()`
* `getOrderStatus()`
* `getMessage()`
* `getCode()`

For error and exception handling see [Errors and Exceptions](#errors-and-exceptions) above.

### OrderIds

You can set up two custom reference identifiers on each invoice - `orderId1` and `orderId2`.
For `InvoiceAuthorizeRequest` and `InvoiceCaptureRequest` parameter `transactionId` is an alias for `orderId1`.

You can search for unique orderId (whether orderId1 or orderId2) setting parameter `orderId`
in `InvoiceCheckOrderStatusRequest`. In `InvoiceCheckOrderStatusRequest` is `transactionId` an alias for `orderId`.

### Example code

Jewish groups participate in active shooter drill, training for first responders
Public safety trainingJewish groups participate in active shooter drill
This was the first training drill where first responders worked with volunteers from a community organization and the first practice of the newly formed Rescue Task Force.
By Lauren Rosenblatt January 26, 2018, 3:12 pm 0 Edit

Several Jewish organizations sent representatives to the simulation, to help them gain security knowledge for use at their own facilities. (Photo by Elan S. Mizrahi for the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh)
Standing in a classroom at the Jewish Community Center Thursday night, Melissa Hiller said she could hear the screams in the hallway and sounds of a barricade being built in the room next door.
"It was really scary to feel an assailant coming for me," said Hiller, the director of the American Jewish Museum at the JCC. "I had no idea what to do with myself."
The first shots rang out before 10 p.m. The scene was cleared and deemed safe in 45 minutes. The shooter was only active for six minutes.
"Most active shooter situations are over in a matter of minutes," said Bradley Orsini, director of security for the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh and one of the organizers of the active shooter drill that took place at the JCC Thursday night.
The drill was designed to allow 150 first responders — police officers, firefighters and paramedics — to practice the process for an active shooter situation.
Police officers entered first, locating and stopping the assailant. Then, firefighters and paramedics entered, assessing the injuries among the 70 volunteers who were playing victims.
This was the first training drill where first responders worked with volunteers from a community organization. It was also the first practice of the newly formed Rescue Task Force, a collaborative effort to more efficiently and effectively respond to active shooter situations among the three public safety departments.
"Until you put it into practice, a lot of times you don't know what works and what doesn't work," said Sgt. Eric Kroll, the emergency management liaison for the police department, after the simulation. "It's never going to come off textbook. That's one of the things we teach."
Police officers enter the scene first, in small contingents of three or four people as they work to "neutralize" the scene and stop the assailant. Traditionally, Kroll said, firefighters and paramedics don't enter the scene until police are sure there is no longer a threat, what they call a "cold zone."
In the old days, you used to wait for the SWAT team. You can't do that anymore. It's up to the first responders and the public. Part of what public safety is going to be is there are no borders.
But the newly formed Rescue Task Force has equipped them with the proper gear and training to enter when the scene is still a "warm zone," when police have neutralized the immediate threat but are ensuring there isn't an additional threat. The goal is to be able to help more victims immediately.
"In the old days, you used to wait for the SWAT team. You can't do that anymore. It's up to the first responders and the public," Pittsburgh's public safety director Wendell Hissrich said. "Part of what public safety is going to be is there are no borders."
On Thursday night, volunteers fanned out throughout the JCC — some moving to classrooms, some staking out on the stairs and some passing the time on an elliptical in the gym downstairs.
The shooter moved quickly through the building, using blanks to claim "victims" in the downstairs lobby, in the hallways and in a lounge room on the second floor. Police found him in the classroom with Hiller and told him to drop his weapon.
He threatened to kill her. They began firing. He collapsed.
Paramedics and firefighters entered shortly after, assessing each victim's "injuries" — addressing some on the spot and transporting others to a holding room of sorts. They left the "deceased" victims until the end.
Although this was the first active shooter drill that utilized community volunteers, public safety officials held 54 different security trainings and trained more than 2,000 people in the Jewish community in 2017. They focused on skills such as hide, run, fight — where people are encouraged to first hide, then run, and then fight if necessary — and stop the bleed — where civilians learn basic medical knowledge to be able to temporarily treat injuries.
Jason Kunzman, chief program officer for the JCC, said the volunteers, many of them members of the JCC staff, would use their experience to help prepare the rest of the staff in the event of an emergency.
"Unfortunately, these are times that we live in. When you have the word Jewish in front of your agency's name, that brings a certain amount of risk," he said.
Dan Gilman, chief of staff for Mayor Bill Peduto, agreed, adding that the increased threats at Jewish Community Centers around the country last year illustrated even more how critical it is to be prepared.
"Every level of government is here, every department of public safety is here because we all recognize the need to be prepared," he said. "We've learned, unfortunately, for several decades now that there is no safe space."
Officials from the Federal Bureau of Investigation filmed the entire scenario to create a video that will be used in future trainings for first responders and community organizations.
Now, Orsini said, the public safety department will review the events of Thursday night and feedback from participants in a series of action meetings and determine what went right, what went wrong and what could be done differently. Thursday night's training will be a "framework" for other Jewish community organizations to use in the future, he said. PJC

Issho ni
Issho ni (2014)
To Sylvie Goursaud
The human voice as sound source and performer on stage is present in most of my compositions over the past 20 years. Since 2009 I have been composing works, which use folksongs, lullabies, prayers and children songs from many cultures. All those voice recordings were reworked to adjust their pitches and tunings in order to create harmony. I combined them with specially written vocal phrases, percussion, as well as instrumental sounds into utopian musical works, where all those ethnicities perform and celebrate together, including: Ailleurs-intérieur (2009) is a 2-hour work which was first presented as a sound installation in the Gesú church in Montréal (Québec) and subsequently in venues in Erfurt and Cologne (Germany); and Together (2009) is a music piece for a dance performance for the Larissa Douglas Contemporary Dance (Boston, MA, USA). Issho ni takes those ideas a step further and proposes an intense sound ritual as a concert piece. It surrounds and submerges the listener, who becomes a witness and passive participant in a slow evolving illusory celebration. Elements from secular and religious sources are joining to memorialize unity and to rejoice.
[x-14]
Issho ni was realized in 2014 at Harvard University Studio for Electroacoustic Composition (HUSEAC) (Cambridge, MA, USA) and premiered on May 21, 2014 in the International House of Japan in Tokyo (Japan).

Disentangling area effects: evidence from deprived and non-deprived neighbourhoods
Atkinson, RG and Kintrea, K 2001 , 'Disentangling area effects: evidence from deprived and non-deprived neighbourhoods' , Urban Studies, vol. 38, no. 12 , pp. 2277-2298 , doi: 10.1080/00420980120087162.
Disentangling_a...pdf | Document not available for request/download
This paper focuses on the question of whether it is worse to be poor in a poor area or in an area which is more socially mixed; in short, does living in a deprived area compound the disadvantage experienced by its residents, and do area effects contribute to social exclusion? The idea of social areas having direct or mediated effects on the lives of their residents continues to interest and challenge academic and policy debates on the effect of concentrated poverty and on the creation of more mixed and, thereby, more sustainable neighbourhood forms. However, area effects remain contentious and British research evidence is scant. Following a review of the theoretical and empirical understandings of the relationship between households and neighbourhoods, the paper presents survey data from a comparative study of deprived and socially mixed neighbourhoods in Glasgow and Edinburgh. These data provide evidence that supports the area effects thesis, in particular in relation to area reputation and employment. The paper concludes that, with certain caveats, living in areas of geographically concentrated poverty creates additional problems for residents.

Destroying a nation one kid at a time, Part 8 – For giving gifts…
Michael Becker November 21, 2013 Culture 6 Comments
This is part eight series and we're looking at how the feminization of our society is destroying our kids and our nation. Our lives are being turned into a laboratory for politically correctness, a place where the feminist bullies are pushing every envelope they can find to turn the nation into something that likely has the founders to spin in their graves. Our schools have become an especially deadly place for our kids, but just about everywhere they set foot is designed to take the joy out of childhood.
Today's heroine is a first grade girl from Sikeston, Missouri. She wanted to give a present to a friend at school.
Tuesday Heartland News spoke with 6-year-old Michaela Boyd, and her mother Michele. They tell Heartland News teachers confused a hand-gathered gift of nature's goodies with a bag of marijuana.
"There was nothing in the bag i just found it on the ground." Said first grader Michaela Boyd.
After finding the bag much like the one disposable utensils come in, Michaela says she decided to make her friend a bag of goodies, "They said what did you make this out of. and what did you tell them. I said out of dirt. And what else. I made it with rocks, clover and dirt."
Her mom, Michele, says after Michaela put the mixture into the bag, she tied the top with a purple ponytail holder and gave it to her friend saying,"here's a bag of dirt."
After recess was over the student gave the bag of dirt to their teacher.
Michele says after meeting with the teacher and principal, she was told that the bag of dirt, "looked like a bag of weed."
Michaela says, "They said it was kind of a drug. I don't know what they are I only see cigarettes. That's all I say."
Heartland News spoke with superintendent Stephen Borgsmiller about what happened here on the playground last Tuesday and he says while he can not comment on this particular case given the childs age. He did tell me that after gathering all the information an assessment was made and now they are moving on."
Michele says she doesn't deny what her daughter did. But she does disagree with the two-day in-school detention. "They said it would be on her school record as far as disciplinary that she made a look alike drug but I don't feel like that's right. Because she didn't do anything wrong."
I grew up in the 60s. I know what a bag of weed looks like. I also know what a bag of sticks, rocks, and leaves looks like. I will also admit that my degree is in engineering and not education, so I'm probably a tad better equipped to be able to figure out complicated things.
With specific reference to the incident, aside from the teacher being an absolute dolt, I'd like to know what qualifies giving a friend a bag of leaves, sticks, and dirt as bait for a two day suspension? A TWO DAY SUSPENSION!!
Let me note that while the teacher is an absolute dolt, the principal is a eunuch who is about eight IQ points short of double digits. That baggie is NOT a look-alike drug. It looks exactly like what it is. Leaves. Sticks. Dirt. Anybody who tried to pass that baggie off as weed in any city in the US would most likely be shot. And rightly so.
This little girl, with an obviously warm heart and a giving character, now has a detention on her school record that looks like it has something to do with drugs. It had NOTHING to do with drugs, it had everything to do with stupidity.
Where is my bucket of tar and feathers when I need them.

The benefits from the nation's continuing economic recovery haven't been shared equally across racial and ethnic groups, and even the gains that we've seen are slowing, new Census Bureau data show.

Lawmakers in several states this spring put a college education within reach for students who are undocumented, boosting opportunity for striving young people and helping strengthen their economies over the long term.

Maryland lawmakers this month passed, and Governor Larry Hogan is expected to support, legislation to expand the state's Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) to an estimated 40,000 more low-income Marylanders by lowering the eligibility age for workers not raising children in their home from 25 to 18. That will help many young workers who are just entering the workforce and supporting themselves on very low wages.
To accompany our series of charts on federal tax issues, these charts put state taxes — and the services they support — into context.
Today is Equal Pay Day, when we recognize the persistent gap in earnings between women and men. It's also an opportunity to think about things that states can do — such as adopting or increasing state earned income tax credits (EITCs), raising minimum wages, and investing in child care and paid leave — to buoy low-paid women who support themselves and their families.
Everyone in America — regardless of where they were born, the state where they live, the color of their skin, or the size of their bank account — should have the opportunity to achieve their goals.
