Why the fight to save the UM press will fail
Earlier this summer the University of Missouri decided to close the university Press, stating that it was not sustainable, even after a financial overhaul. The university gives the press a 400,000 dollar annual subsidy, fund that it indicated would be better spent elsewhere. Despite later offers from some donors, other schools, and a variety of plans to replace that amount of money, the university did not change course. Then it came out that the university was not intending eliminate the press altogether, but to move away from traditional publishing and putting a newly proposed digital press under the auspices of The Missouri Review, run by Speer Morgan. (In the current FAQ for the plan, they state: "The purpose is to provide appropriate scholarly communication, not to make money.") Instead of the press being closed for financial reasons, the story became that the University of Missouri wanted to be a leader in the digital humanities, while the Luddites at the press were determined to cling to bound books with ink-stained fingers.
Anyone who falls behind is expendable.
The problem is that the University of Missouri Press had not fallen behind. The press was already producing digital books and moving toward publishing in even more formats.
The gist of the newly proposed press is as follows: the press will be joined with The Missouri Review, a quarterly journal run by a professor in the English Department. The press will hire four new employees (encouraging the ten laid off employees to reapply for the new positions once they become available), and will put much of the editorial duties on five graduate students, possibly by increasing the workload of the graduate students who work with the press already. This will both save the university money since it is a widely acknowledged fact that in the academic system, graduate students are exploited laborers, and enable the press to claim to be a "teaching press" (or some other catchy moniker) without actually providing much more than it is already doing. "For the foreseeable future" the press will continue to publish books in a variety of formats. A board of faculty members will review submitted manuscripts to choose which books will be published, as well as providing an internal advisory board. The press will have an emphasis on "English, creative writing, communications, journalism, and library and information science," according to Brady Deaton.
There are some minor additions to what the prior press offered, but conspicuous in this new format are the absences. Most immediately are the jobs stripped away in order to streamline the finances, though the reports are that the new employees will be paid at a significantly higher rate than the old ones. But more critically are the disciplines. The history department at MU, for better or for worse, has been excluded from the process, despite the press being a leader in publishing books on Missouri history, western history, some excellent books about sports, and was (once upon a time, at least) a premier location to publish books on African American history. Perhaps history, too, is obsolete.
Despite opposition, the changes have proceeded. What is more, the fact that now the university is receiving press as though it is renewing a commitment to scholarship through the "resuscitated" press, when the existence of the press in this format is cosmetic only. At least there is a press, they can say, even if no self-respecting scholarly author would publish with it (if they could even get a manuscript approved, in the case of history).
Most recently, a large number of authors have requested the rights to the books back from the press in protest of the changes, while the university has spent much of the last week trying to persuade the authors to keep the books with the UM press. As such, the Kansas City Star published an article under the title:
"MU tries to persuade university press authors not to reclaim book rights: Digital transition is planned, but scholars want university press to release publishing rights on their works."
And therein is the reason that the opposition to the university press changes is failing. There have been many impassioned and eloquent letters written, meetings and votes held, and articles published, even nationally, but the university has still managed to dictate the message about the press. The opponents of the press closing have, for the most part, come across as hysterical and unreasonable (though, again for the most part, have been nothing of the sort), while the university appears rational, calm, and responsible. According to the news media, the debate is about the future of digital humanities, so the authors asking for the rights back appear reactionary, while the university is merely asking for them to hold off on their requests while the transition takes place. And, according to the piece, "After talking with Dr. Noble-Triplett, few authors have demanded immediate release."
At the bottom of the article the author includes some of the objections to the changes, but the top section (and the section with more than just quotes) is dedicated to the case that the changes are about digital humanities. The university has done a great deal of damage control and has been able to portray a consistent, rational explanation for its changes, while the opponents are often reduced to apoplectic rage (I witnessed one meeting where the rebuttal to one person who wanted information was "I don't agree with you"), and, at best, present an uncoordinated, piecemeal defense that comes and goes, while often include ill-fitting and ill-informed arguments about the football coach's salary. There are legitimate things being said and legitimate concerns about the new press, but the message that has won out is the one that suits the university, namely that this is an issue of progress and of digitization (after the first argument that it was about money failed), when it is actually about scholarly standards, processes, and emphasis of the press. The changes in the press constitute a power play by a few individuals from within the university, but, evidently, that isn't news. The future of digital humanities is.

Quando uscì nel 1978, quattro anni dopo la sua realizzazione, il gruppo - The Residents - se n'era dimenticato, e fu per decisione altrui. Oggi Not Available torna alla luce sia in cd sia in vinile, in una versione di qualche minuto più estesa di quella pubblicata all'epoca. Precede di un paio di mesi la ristampa in vinile anche del primo album, Meet The Residents. Di entrambi si occupa la statunitense MVD / See of Sound.
Not Available was not meant to be released. It was an attempt to take N. Senada's 'Theory of Obscurity' to its logical conclusion. Senada maintained that an artist does his or her best work in isolation, free from the influence of an audience. If the artist is modifying his or her ideas to suit the tastes of the audience the work is being corrupted. This album was not to be released until the band themselves had forgotten completely about its existence, so that there would be no potential audience to influence its development. The idea worked well - the music in Not Available, a mini-opera made up of four "acts" with an epilogue, is excellent and very distinctive. The eventual publication of Not Available came about as the result of a problem with the band. In 1978, The Residents were working on Eskimo, a much-touted major release. However, after a disagreement with The Cryptic Corporation, the band disappeared to England with the Eskimo master tapes. Needing something to release, the Cryptics pulled "some old tapes" off the shelves and released them as Not Available, complete with ads in the UK music press announcing "Now It Can Be Sold." The Residents weren't bothered much by this deviation from their plan, however, since the 1978 decision by someone else to release the album couldn't affect the philosophical conditions under which it was recorded in 1974.


For many of us, September is a strange month – usually defined by adjusting to Autumnal weather and getting back into the day-to-day school/work routine. We'll soon be waving goodbye to warm evenings and al fresco drinking, picnics in the park and juicy seasonal fruits. I'm personally looking forward to bringing the party back inside, Autumn is the perfect time to embrace social gatherings around the dinner table; who doesn't love getting cosy with a glass of wine in hand?! I've compiled a list of things I'm currently loving and looking forward to this month, what's on your agenda in September?
If you've had a chance to visit Clapham foodie favourite The Dairy, you'll already be familiar with Robin Gill's incredible food. I love a good cookbook and Robin recently released Larder – a book brimming with stunning seasonal contemporary British dishes using traditional techniques.
One of life's greatest pleasures is finding happiness and contentment through good food, so let me and NOT PLANT BASED's Eve Simmons take the lead with a super fresh supper to help remove stigmas around disordered eating. Tickets here.
I recently took my brilliant Social Pantry event planners for dinner at newly opened St Leonards in Shoreditch and I couldn't recommend it enough. The latest venture from the team at Brunswick House (Andrew Clarke and Jackson Boxer) if you only visit one place in London this month, make it St Leonards – you won't regret it.
Vegetarians often get overlooked at dinner parties, this Middle Eastern inspired dish is not only a delicious main for any non-meat eaters but makes a gorgeous side dish too… Find the recipe here.
As the days start getting shorter and darker, I'll soon be swapping bare legs and sandals for trousers and boots. Until then, these super fun Great Plains baby pink cropped cords are the perfect transitional item to see you through Autumn. I'll be wearing mine with my favourite Veja trainers and a simple cotton shirt.

Q: Methods of variational calculus in analytic number theory What methods of calculus of variations have been used in analytic number theory?
I mean do Hamilton-Jacobi theory of PDE found usage in analytic number theory, which raises yet another question has PDE theory been used in analytic number theory? Please advise for literature that combines methods of VC and PDE in analytic number theory.
Thanks.

Building a block wall is an easy way to beautify your landscape. Modern blocks do not need mortar, which makes working with them easy for a novice. Yet there is more to the project than stacking level blocks. Once the wall is built, your job is not done until you have added backfill behind the blocks.
Backfilling the wall serves several purposes. First, it creates a drainage barrier for water to flow away from the wall. If water stays trapped near the wall it can build up pressure that may compromise the wall's integrity. If water remains during freezing weather, the expanding ice can damage the wall, as well. The backfill also fills the gap between the new block wall and the existing earth, making the project safe and aesthetically pleasing.
To backfill a block wall, you will need landscape fabric, shovels, gloves and goggles to protect your eyes from flying backfill media. The landscape fabric helps keep weeds and other vegetation from growing behind the wall. Beginning at the base of the wall, place the fabric against the blocks. Unroll the fabric until it reaches the top of the wall. Cut with scissors and repeat until the entire back of the wall is covered. The backfill gravel will hold the landscape fabric in place.
Weep holes should be added to your wall to help water escape from the backfill, whether it is groundwater or stormwater. Small pipes are added to the wall during the construction phase to give water a channel to escape. The pipes should be fitted with filter made from either mesh or another medium to prevent clogging, as well as to stop backfill media from washing away over time.
Crushed rock or gravel is used as backfill for block walls. Start with a base layer of compacted native soil about 2 to 3 inches deep and 6 to 12 inches wide. Fill the rest of the space with crushed rock or gravel up to 6 inches from the top of the wall. The remaining 6 inches consists of a cap of compacted soil which will allow grass to grow right up to the wall, as well as give a firm base to walk on. Use fresh topsoil or native soil that was previously excavated for the wall, if available.

A Tveri Fejedelemség, majd Nagyfejedelemség (oroszul Тверско́е кня́жество) egyike volt az Oroszország egyesítése előtti független orosz hercegségeknek. Fővárosa Tver volt. Az állam 1247-től 1485-ig állt fenn, amikor is a Moszkvai Nagyfejedelemség bekebelezte.

Területe
A fejedelemség a Volga partján, a Baltikumot a Kaszpi-tengerrel összekötő kereskedelmi hajóúton terült el. Északnyugatról a Novgorodi fejedelemséggel volt határos, a két legközelebbi várost, Torzsokot és Berzseckij Verhet a tveriek többször el is foglalták. Délnyugati szomszédja a Szmolenszki fejedelemség volt, a határon fekvő Rzsev városa is egy darabig a tveri fejedelem uralma alá tartozott. Délkeletről a Moszkvai fejedelemséggel volt határos. Az állam körülbelül 320 km hosszan és 65-től 100 km szélességben, 27 000 négyzetkilométeren terült el. Tveren kívül több kisebb-nagyobb városa volt, ezek közül részfejedelme is volt a következőknek: Kasin, Mikulin, Teljatyjev, Holm, Dorogobuzs és Csernyatyin, Belij Gorodok és Klin. Közülük a kasini volt a legerősebb részfejedelemség, néha még Tverrel is vetélkedett, de a holmi és mikulini fejedelmek szavának is volt súlya.

A fejedelemség megalakulása és felemelkedése
Az először 1135-ben említett Tver városa a 12. században és a 13. század elején a Pereszlavl-Zalesszkiji fejedelemséghez tartozott. Elkülönülése 1247-ben történt, amikor Jaroszláv Vszevolodovics vlagyimiri nagyfejedelem halála után az új nagyfejedelem Jaroszláv fiának, Jaroszláv Jaroszlavicsnak adományozta.

Tveri Jaroszláv részt vett a vlagyimiri nagyfejedelemségért vívott harcban, ám a vesztes oldalra került és a győztes Alekszandr Nyevszkij szövetségesei, az Arany Horda tatárjai megölték a feleségét és fiait túszként fogságba vetették. Ezután kétszer is betöltötte a novgorodi fejedelmi méltóságot. Alekszandr Nyevszkij halála után ő kapta a vlagyimiri nagyfejedelmi megbízatást a tatár kántól. Jaroszláv halála után fia, Szvjatoszláv örökölte a hercegséget, aki békében kormányozta országát és elhatárolódott a hercegségek torzsalkodásaitól. Miután 1282-ben ő is meghalt, Mihail öccse vette át a kormánypálcát.
Mihail sikeresen hárította a litvánok portyázó betöréseit. Alekszandr Nyevszkij fiainak, Dmitrijnek és Andrejnek viszályában az utóbbi oldalára állt, emiatt országát 1293-ban feldúlták a tatárok. Felesége, Anna ( Dmitrij rosztovi herceg lánya) révén szert tett Kasin városára.

Harc Moszkvával
1305-ben az akkori nagyfejedelem halála után Mihail és a moszkvai Jurij Danyilovics vetélkedtek a címért. Mindketten a kán udvarába utaztak, de Mihail nagyobb adókat ígért, így ő lett a vlagyimiri nagyfejedelem. A vetélkedés nem csak békés módszerekkel zajlott, a tveriek elfogták Jurij herceg egyik fiát, a másikat pedig Perejaszlavlban ostrom alá vették, ám az ostromlókat a moszkvai csapatok elkergették. Mihail 1308-ban megostromolta Moszkvát a rjazanyi fejedelem kivégzése miatt, de a várost nem tudta elfoglalni, ezért csak a környező földeket dúlta fel.
1312-ben Mihail fejedelemnek Novgoroddal volt konfliktusa, elfoglalta Torzsokot és Bezsecket, valamint blokád alá vette a várost; végül 1500 grivna hadisarcért cserébe békét kötöttek. Azonban amikor 1314-ben Mihail az Üzbég tatár kán trónra lépésekor az Arany Hordához utazott, a novgorodiak visszavették a városaikat és sereget küldtek Tver ellen. A novgorodi és tveri csapatok a Volga két partján néztek farkasszemet egymással amíg beállt a tél, azután hazatértek.

A Hordától visszatérő Mihail Jaroszlavics hadjáratot vezetett Novgorod ellen és csak nagy hadisarc fejében vonult vissza. A novgorodiak követséget küldtek a kánhoz hogy bepanaszolják Mihailt, de a tveriek útközben elfogták a követeket.
1317-ben újból fellángolt a harc Moszkvával, de a tveriek döntő vereséget mértek Jurij Danyilovicsra és elfogták a fiát és a feleségét, Üzbég kán húgát. A nő azonban a fogságban meghalt, azért a kán az udvarába rendelte a tveri fejedelmet, gyilkossággal vádolta és kivégeztette.

Ezután a moszkvai herceg lett a nagyfejedelem, aki beszedte a tveriek adóját, de nem továbbította a tatároknak. Az új tveri fejedelem, Dmitrij Mihajlovics 1322-ben a kánhoz utazott elpanaszolni a sérelmét, és az udvarban ő kapta meg a nagyfejedelemi jarlikot. 1325-ben Dmitrij éppen a káni udvarban tartózkodott, mikor találkozott Jurij herceggel. Éppen az évfordulója volt apja, Mihail halálának és a feldühödött Dmitrij kardjával leszúrta a moszkvai fejedelmet. Üzbég kán akarata ellenére, de politikai megfontolásból halálra ítélte Dmitrijt, akit 1326-ban kivégeztek. Tver új uralkodója Dmitrij öccse, Alekszandr lett.

A tveri felkelés

1327-ben a tveriek fellázadtak a tatár adószedők ellen, megölték Csolhan követ katonáit, ő maga pedig bennégett a felgyújtott palotájában. A kán megtorlásul ötvenezres sereget küldött Tver ellen, amihez csatlakoztak a moszkvaiak és a szuzdaliak is. Alekszandr herceget legyőzték, és Pszkovba menekült.A végigpusztított fejedelemség új uralkodója Konsztantyin Mihajlovics (Alekszandr öccse) lett, aki  Jurij moszkvai herceg lányát vette feleségül. Alekszandr később visszatért, de a kánhoz rendelték és fiával együtt kivégezték.

Belharcok
1345-ben Konsztantyin és Alekszandr legidősebb fia, Vszevolod konfliktusba keveredett az öröklési rendet illetően. Mindketten a kán udvarába utaztak, ahol Konsztantyin még a döntés kihirdetése előtt meghalt. A szenioritási elv szerint Konsztantyin öccse, Vaszilij lett volna jogosult a trónra, de a kánnál tartózkodó Vszevolod kapta a jarlikot. Útban hazafelé találkozott Vaszilijjal, aki a beszedett adót vitte az Arany Hordához, de Vszevolod elvette tőle az adót és megakadályozta útját a kánhoz. A tveri püspök rövidesen kibékítette az ellenfeleket és Vszevolod átadta a fejedelmi méltóságot nagybátyjának. 1351-ben a Horda is Vaszilijt ismerte el törvényes fejedelemnek, annyira, hogy amikor 1356-ban Vszevolod újból magának kérelmezte a jarlikot, a kán elfogatta és átadta Vaszilijnek.

1368-ban meghalt Vaszilij és utóda a közben pestisben elhalálozott Vszevolod öccse, Mihail Alekszandrovics lett. Fellángolt a Moszkva és Tver közötti konfliktus is és Dmitrij moszkvai herceg kétszer is hadat küldött Tver ellen, de mindkétszer vissza kellett vonulnia és a tveriekkel szövetséges litvánok megostromolták Moszkvát. A tatár kán is Mihailnak ítélte a nagyfejedelmi jarlikot, de Dmitrij nem ismerte el a döntést. 1374-ben néhány elégedetlen moszkvai bojár Tverbe menekült, Mihail helyzetét megerősítette az új kán oklevele, így a fejedelem megpróbálta kiterjeszteni hatalmát Torzsokra és Uglicsra. Ekkor Dmitrij szövetségeseit összegyűjtve hatalmas sereggel vonult Tver ellen, és Mihail kénytelen volt megalázkodni előtte és elfogadni a tatárellenes szövetségi ajánlatot. Az 1380-as kulikovói csatában tveri részfejedelmek katonái is részt vettek Moszkva oldalán.
1382-ben Toktamis kán nagyfejedelemségi státuszt adományozott Tvernek, amely így függetlenné vált a Vlagyimiri fejedelemségtől, ám az utóbbi így végleg moszkvai befolyás alá került.

A 15. század és a függetlenség elvesztése
Mihail 1399-ig békében uralkodott és halála után Iván fia vette át a kormánypálcát. A fejedelemségben virágzott a gazdaság és az örök rivális Moszkva is a tatárokkal és litvánokkal harcolt. Iván herceg sem szította a viszályt: 1408-ban a tatár Edögej emír hadjáratot vezetett Moszkva ellen és a tverieket kötelezte ágyúk szállítására az ostromhoz, ám Iván addig késlekedett amíg a tatárok elvonultak.

1413-ban leégett a város és az elkövetkező évtizedben háromszor is éhínség pusztított.

1425-ben gyors egymásutánban pestisben meghalt Iván, majd a trónon őt követő Alekszandr fia és Jurij unokája is. Tverben ekkor már nyilvánvalóan az elsőszülöttség elve alapján öröklődött a korona a régi szenioritási elv helyett. Az új fejedelem Alekszandr második fia, Borisz lett. Harmincéves uralkodása alatt szilárd belső rendet és biztos külső kapcsolatokat alakított ki Moszkvával és Litvániával, így 1461-ben senki sem vonta kétségbe nyolcéves Mihail fiának örökösödését.

Mihail több alkalommal segítette III. Iván moszkvai fejedelmet Novgoroddal és a tatárokkal való harcában. Ivánt ez azonban nem tántorította el attól, hogy mikor kellőképpen megerősödött és bekebelezte a novgorodi és jaroszlavli hercegségeket, kihasználta a tveri nemesség elégedetlenkedését és rátámadt korábbi szövetségesére. 1485 szeptemberében megszállta Tvert, Mihail pedig Litvániába menekült. Tver elvesztette függetlenségét, előbb Iván fia, majd később helytartók kormányozták.

Rettegett Iván idejében a megkeresztelkedett volt kászimi kán, Szimeon Bekbulatovics viselte a formális tveri herceg címet.

Gazdasága

A tveri fejedelemség sűrűn lakott volt, a katonaállítási képessége alapján 700-800 ezer lakos (26/km²) élhetett a területén. A hercegségben virágzott a kereskedelem és a kézművesség, egy 14. századi énekben "gazdagnak" nevezik. Afanaszij Nyikityin tveri kereskedő egészen Indiáig eljutott.

Államszervezet
A herceg személyesen felügyelte a közigazgatási, igazságszolgáltatási, had- és pénzügyi rendszert. Kétféle pénzt vertek, az ezüst grivnát és a réz pult. A hercegi kíséretben bojár elöljárók és szolga vagy nemes rangú alárendeltek szolgáltak. A városi adófizetőket ezres csoportokra osztották, azokat pedig százakra. Találunk említést városi népgyűlésről, vecséről is. A föld a herceg, az egyház vagy a kíséret tagjainak a tulajdonában volt.

A földművelő lakosság kisebb-nagyobb mértékben a földtulajdonos fennhatósága alá tartozott. A parasztok többsége bizonyos feltételekkel (Szt. György napján) átköltözhetett más földesúr birtokára vagy akár más hercegségbe; de léteztek olyanok és idővel egyre nőtt a számuk, akiknek még ez a szabadsága sem volt meg. A földesurak egy részének joga volt arra hogy ne engedje el az embereket a birtokáról és joguk volt bíráskodni is fölöttük, kivéve a gyilkossági és rablási eseteket.

A herceg jövedelmei (a saját birtokának jövedelmén túl) a közvetlen és közvetett adókból és vámokból származott. Bizonyos birtokokon (elsősorban a kolostorok földjén) élők felmentést kaptak a közvetlen adók megfizetése alól.

Here's a compilation (of Shia and Sunni) SAHIH (authentic) narrations about the prohibition of erecting structures over graves, venerating graves, kissing them etc. Many Shias are not even aware that these reports exists in their books, this might be due to the allergy their scholars have when it comes to Tawhid. Shia scholars usually do not mention the narrations we are going to present you, and if they do (only due to pressure of the Internet that has exposed their religion), they (as usual) come up with abstract and far-fetched interpretations to explain the monothestic narrations that are deeply buried somewhere in their Madhhab (yes, even in their Madhhab, despite all the lies they have attributed to the Ahl al-Bayt) away in order to secure their money-machines, which you will soon find out are the exravagant palace+5* looking tombs, shrines and mausoleums.
On the authority of Abbas Ibn Yazid [nice name for a Shia, isn't it?], from Abi Abdillah (al-Sadiq), peace be upon him, whom I [Ibn Yazid] told: The people claim that shirk is more hidden than the creeping of an ant in the pitch-darkness of the night. He (Al-Sadiq) said: "The slave (of Allah) does not become a Mushrik until he prays to other than Allah, sacrifices for other than Allah or invokes other than Allah 'azza wa jall".
All the prohibitions are done by Imamite Shi'ites and sanctified by their Grand Ayatullahs. From praying (or invoking) the Ahl al-Bayt (under the pretext of Tawassul) to sacrificing for Imams, [Abu al-Fadhl] al- 'Abbas etc.
Why did I become a Sunni or a Muslim?
Qur'an has a Shia chain of transmission?
This one is absolutely hilarious. Their TOP scholars are nothing but a bunch of heretics (we know that already) but the sad (and funny) thing which MANY Sunnis don't know is that their TOP-NOTCH Ayatullats can't even recite a Fatiha correctly, not even the Arab ones. I mean what a joke of a cult Rafidism is? Don't they know that a scholar, heck, even a Sunni kid would burst into laughter just by hearing them 'reciting' (reading like a newspaper) the Qur'an. Who on earth will take these clowns serious? And more importantly, who is so stupid to take this Shayateen as lords besides Allah (Marja's, sources of guidance for the Rafidah!).
Every sect and religion has their reverts and converts, so do the Rafidah. A few Christians, Hindus and other pagan Mushriks here and there (who don't need to change alot, they travel from polytheism to polytheism) and sometimes even some 'great' Sunni personalities' (i.e. in 100% of the cases either former extreme Ex-Sufis or other heretics who happen to replace Ya saint/Wali help me Ya Ali/Fatimah/Hussein/Mahdi etc. madad (help me).
Usually, the Shia they boast about how many (allegled) Sunnis convert to Shiism. Now even if that's true then it basically proves nothing, because the truth or falsehood are not measured by the (the number of) converts, and as a matter of fact, more Iranian Shiites turn Christian, Zoroastrian, Atheist (and even Sunni) than any other (muslim) nation in the world. Now would that make Shiism wrong by default because so many Iranian Shiites happen to convert to other religions?! Certainly not, for the truth is not measured by proving who has more or less reverts/converts (again, Shias having more reverts is an exaggeration anyway, they never mention the rise of Sunnism inside Iran, especially in Ahwaz).


Are you in the market to have new windows installed on your screened porch?
There are so many screened in porch windows and screen porch enclosure options available — how will you choose the right one?
Do easy care and low maintenance sound good to you?
Do you live in an area where you are able to sit outside on your screen porch for at least 9 months out of the year?
Are you sick and tired of spending hours of your valuable time meticulously putting up plastic sheeting in the winter to retain heat — only to remove all of it 3 months later in the spring… and do it year-after-year?
If you answered 'yes' to all 3 questions then Eze-Breeze vinyl windows could be the solution to your dilemma.
Eze Breeze 4-track vinyl glazed windows are a great alternative to plastic sheeting for your screened porch — and it can be left in place year round.
My parents had Eze Breeze windows installed in their house.
They saw them advertised in the local newspaper and decided to give them a call.
They had measurements taken, they were given a free estimate, and then they made the decision to have them installed.
Less work around the house. They are recently retired and this was one more thing that they wanted to mark off of their To Do List for the constant upkeep of their house.
They live in sunny South Carolina, so they really enjoy sitting on the screened porch passing the time, watching the multitude of birds that visit their feeders. And they especially enjoy watching storms roll through. Let me tell you, that is quite a sight to see with Mother Nature showering down all around you — without getting soaked!
The alternative (plastic sheeting) looks like… well, like plastic sheeting — and it's translucent. That kind of defeats the purpose of having a screened porch. Vinyl glazing is clear (like a window) — but costs less than glass and looks much better than plastic sheeting. Enough said.
By the way, I mentioned earlier that they enjoy sitting out back watching the birds. I asked them if they have any holes in the vinyl — particularly from birds flying into the Eze Breeze windows. The answer was No. There are no holes whatsoever.
As many birds visit the feeders (probably hundreds each day), they've seen a few fly into the windows. No punctures occurred. And better yet, the birds survived the crash with no ill effects. This is a win-win for humans and fowl alike! Yep, Eze-Breeze windows are bird-friendly.
TIP: Sometimes, screened in porch windows DO fall victim to birds. Here are some ways to stop birds from flying into your windows.
Eze-Breeze is a unique product because the windows are not made of glass. Instead of glass, they're made of vinyl glazing — a glass alternative.
If you gently push your fist into it, it flexes with your hand and quickly retains its shape.
It looks exactly like glass from as close as an arm's length.
It's kind of like plastic cling wrap — except that it's tough, flexible, and thick (10 mil thick, to be exact).
The manufacturer (PGT Industries) claims it is cheaper than glass.
Their screen porch dimensions are approximately 11′ x 24′.
There are 20 four-track windows with screens for ventilation on the top portion and 20 fully glazed windows on the bottom half.
There are 2 non-Eze Breeze metal porch doors that were already in place and some small sidelight and transom windows. When the home was built many years ago, the screen porch was never really meant to be fully encased in windows — so each window is not exactly the same dimension as all the others. Therefore, a few of the windows had to be custom made on-site.
It took 1 day to install it all.
The total cost, including installation: $4,000.
The most important factor to consider here is whether or not they are happy that they decided to have the Eze-Breeze windows installed.
The answer is Yes. They are very happy with the way their screened in porch looks, the time and labor that Eze Breeze windows have saved them, and the quality of the installation job.
You can't ask for anything more than that!
For the DIYers, here's a little about installing Eze Breeze Windows yourself.
Unfortunately, an F2 tornado rolled through my parent's neck of the woods not long ago. The good news is that nobody was hurt.
How did the Eze Breeze windows fare?
Like nothing ever happened! These screened in porch windows stood up to the winds and were no worse for the wear.
There were trees and limbs down all around them — but the Eze Breeze windows made it through unscathed. Perhaps because the windows were on the back side of the house when the tornado rolled through helped it out, but the windows have stickers on them that say to remove them if winds of 60+ mph are expected.
Screen porch enclosures are all the rage. They're popular for many reasons.
TIP: If you happen to live in a hurricane-prone area, then you need to know about impact resistant windows.

Митрополи́т Васи́лий (, в миру Константи́нос Ате́сис, ; ) — епископ Элладской православной церкви, митрополит Лемносский (1949—1950).

Биография
Родился в 1901 году на острове Скиросе в семье благочестивых родителей Георгия и Анны (отец скончался в 1904 году в возрасте 33 лет). Дед Николаос был певчим в церкви Живоносного источника в Лимонитриас на Скиросе.

После окончания начальной школы был поражён болезнью, из-за которой его мать была вынуждена продать собственность, чтобы отвезти сына на лечение в Афины. После возвращения на Скирос, их дом посетила группа афонских монахов из Великой Лавры, принеся для поклонения христианские святыни. После этого в 1923 году молодой человек вступил в братство лавры, где через девять месяцев был пострижен в монашество с именем Василий, а 5 июля 1925 года бывшим митрополитом Мосхонисийским  был хиротонисан во иеродиакона.

В июле 1927 года был направлен в Афины, чтобы поддержать своё шаткое здоровье, позаботиться о матери-вдове и завершить учёбу. Поселившаяся в Пирее мать, благословила сына на служение Богу. Он завершил обучение в гимназии, а в 1935 году окончил богословский институт Афинского университета. В 1936 году состоялось его рукоположение во иеромонаха.

20 октября 1945 года был хиротонисан в титулярного епископа Талантийского, викария Афинской архиепископии.

6 сентября 1949 года был избран митрополитом Лемносским. 25 сентября 1950 года был уволен на покой по состоянию здоровья.

Скончался 9 ноября 1983 года в Афинах.

What would I say if you made an index of Machinist? Knock yourself out!
In response to my dig at J.K. Rowling for slapping down a fan's "Harry Potter" reference book, several of you have asked, What if we copied your Machinist posts and tried to make money off of them? Wouldn't you get mad?
The basic spell for moving something starts with the "Mobili-" prefix. In this case, the Latin word for "body" is tacked on the end.
Remus Lupin used this spell to levitate Snape's unconscious body for transport back to school from the Shrieking Shack ( PA19 ). Unfortunately for Snape, Sirius Black then took over managing the levitation while Lupin covered Wormtail with his wand, and for some reason Sirius didn't seem to be very careful about keeping Snape from bumping into things ( PA20 ).
Let's say you created such a list with my columns. Imagine, for example, that you copied all my text to your hard drive, then examined my articles to create an index of all the times I mentioned the iPhone, or all the times I criticized Rowling, or all the times I argued with readers.
With each item, you might include two or three sentences from my post to give the reader some context, and you would mention the specific article where my words appeared, much like the HPL does.
Excerpt: "...Apple has now made it plain that anybody who buys the iPhone is not really buying it. What we're doing instead is more like renting it -- Apple remains your landlord, stern, controlling, and allowed to evict you at will. At whatever price -- $600, $400, $200 -- that's a very high cost to bear. If you care about your rights, don't buy an iPhone."
But that's not all. Let's say that you decided to make money off this index. You call up your corporate pals and say, "Hey, I created an index of Farhad Manjoo's articles and I've got some room next to it for you logo. It can be yours -- for a price."
So the question: Would I get mad if you did this? Would it upset Salon if you did this?
I hope all of you know the answer is no. We wouldn't care if you did this. Knock yourself out.
Be aware, though, that someone's already beaten you to punch. Someone comes to Salon every day -- many times a day, in fact -- and pulls down every word we write, and then stores it to his own hard drive.
Then he analyzes our words and prepares lists of our articles full of items very much like the one above. Worse, this fellow sells ads alongside these lists, making money -- a lot of money! -- from my brilliant creations. And he has never given us a single dime in return. Were we to ask him for something, I bet he'd laugh at us.
Who is this thief? Right, it's Eric Schmidt, the CEO of Google. In running Web search engines, Google and other companies make entire copies of all the words that appear on most sites online. Reasonable copyright lawyers will tell you that this is a fair use, even though Google is making money from its copies.
Google, like other search engines, does not ask permission to copy the sites it encounters; rather, it works on an "opt out" model, meaning that you can tell it not to copy your site, but if you say nothing, it will do so by default.
Still, many Web sites allow Google full access, because they recognize that search engine takes nothing away from our work. In fact, engines add value to our work -- they give readers an easy way to navigate the site, and, in doing so, they drive loads of people our way.
A court may rule that Rowling can stop the HPL book, much like Web publishers can deny Google permission to scan their sites. But make no mistake that she would harm no one but her fans in doing so.
If I told you that I didn't want Google to index Machinist because I want to maintain complete control over my words and I because can't stand the fact that Google is making money off what I've written, you'd call me a crazy control freak.
Why shouldn't J.K. Rowling earn the same label for slapping the HPL?

1st Optional Protocol to the Covenant
American Convention on Human Rights
Inter-American Convention to Prevent and Punish Torture
Peru has been abolitionist for common crimes since 1979, when the last execution was held. Under the military code the act of treason committed during wartime with foreign powers is punishable by death.
In 1993, Congress approved a new Constitution introducing a new capital offence: terrorism. Article 140 of the new Peruvian Constitution states: 'The death penalty shall only be imposed for the crime of treason against the state in time of war, and for the crime of terrorism, in accordance with the laws and treaties to which Peru is a party."
In doing this Peru violated the American Convention on Human Rights to which it is party, which prohibits the reintroduction of the death penalty under Art 4.2. The Inter-American Court of Human Rights, in an advisory opinion delivered on December 9, 1994 stated: 'That the promulgation of a law in manifest conflict with the obligations assumed by a state upon ratifying or adhering to the Convention is a violation of that treaty.'
In January 2007, Peru's Congress rejected President Alan Garcia's bill seeking to introduce the death penalty for terrorists.
On December 19, 2016, Peru voted again in favour of the Resolution on a Moratorium on the Use of the Death Penalty at the UN General Assembly.

Although a common enough saying, making money on unique collector's items takes more effort than shoving something in the back of a closet so that it can appreciate in value. An item's value can only be realised when it has the right platform and audience—which is exactly what Catawiki offers its clients. The company provides an easy, secure platform for owners to auction items online to a global audience of collectors. Catawiki holds over 300 auctions each week, selling a vast range of items, from comic books to whiskey to dinosaur bones.
Catawiki was founded in 2008 by Rene Schoenmakers and Marco Jansen, initially offering collectors a way to track their inventory. In 2011, the Dutch company began holding auctions and grew in revenue by a staggering 45,000 per cent over the next four years. All items are vetted and each online auction is monitored by in-house experts.
To support its sellers and buyers round the world, Catawiki employs 125 Customer Support employees in two offices in the Netherlands. The Customer Support team switched from Desk.com to Zendesk in 2015 to better scale its support as the company grew. Catawiki also introduced phone support at the same time, and now use the features of Zendesk Talk Professional to automate the opening and closing of phone lines at specific times. The company also relies on Zendesk Support and Guide to handle the roughly 16,000 customer tickets that come in each week across all channels.
Catawiki sees a near even volume breakdown between its email, voice and web channels, and offers voice support in six languages and email support in eight. Its support hours run Monday-Saturday, with extended business hours during the busiest days of the week.
One of the immediate benefits of switching to Zendesk was the products' ease of use and easy onboarding. New agents spend three days learning about Zendesk and Catawiki and then begin to get hands on experience with customers. The voice support team uses the Barge and Call Monitoring features to coach and assist as agents learn the ropes.
A robust knowledge base is a key component towards reaching one of Catawiki's overarching customer service goals, which is to provide customers with as much help as possible before direct contact with an agent is necessary. Agent interactions are designed to be easy and positive when help is needed.
Addressing customer questions quickly and effectively is a must for Catawiki's support team. Agents are held to a general service level agreement (SLA) of responding within 24 hours for every inquiry received during business hours. The team's primary concern is to ensure a great customer service experience that makes their customers happy by providing fast answers and quick resolution. Through this approach, the team has seen a 10 per cent improvement in their CSAT.
In addition to Zendesk products, Catawiki uses integrations from the Zendesk Apps Marketplace that include Trustpilot to manage reviews within Zendesk, and Geckoboard to monitor team performance. Catawiki also custom-built its own Catawiki user info app, using the Zendesk API. This app allows agents to pull information from Catawiki's database into Zendesk, providing the agent with more context about previous lots purchased or sold by the customer. This aids agent productivity, as agents no longer have to interrupt their workflow to look up this information.
Catawiki's relationship with Zendesk has grown significantly over the past few years, and it's easy for the team to get support whenever they need it. "We're always able to get in touch with someone working on the product, and it's been really good to have that direct access and to work with the team at Zendesk," Maury said.


Be alerted when Anti-Flag - American Fall (Vinyl LP) * * * is back in stock.
A notification will be sent to when the Anti-Flag - American Fall (Vinyl LP) * * * is back in stock.
Anti-Flag's new studio album, American Fall, follows 2015's well-received American Spring. With Good Charlotte's Benji Madden on board as co-producer, the band has intensified their signature anthemic style with bigger melodies, tighter songcraft, and thicker guitars. American Fall is bold – both musically and politically – and Anti-Flag's time is now. With Anti-Flag, a new album is always a call to arms and a call to action that reminds listeners to question everyone and everything, including the current administration. American Fall arrives on Spinefarm Records and as expected, it addresses issues facing America today like only Anti-Flag can.
"The politics of distraction influences people to lose focus on what makes a positive impact on their lives and the world," the band explains. "It encourages people to make choices that are not in their best interest and reduces society's ability to make progressive change. The American Fall is our rejection of this harmful distraction. At this crucial moment in history, we must focus on pushing past the status quo to create a better and more just world. We reject the proliferation of exploitation, racism, bigotry, and socioeconomic injustice that dominate the policies of Donald Trump, just as we renounce the neoliberal status quo that came before him."

The Flora Solar Lamp Fitter for Existing Posts is made to go on either new standard 3-inch posts or can be used to retrofit existing gas or electric lamps with solar, provided the existing pole/post is a standard 3-inch diameter size.
Flora Solar Lamps provide reliable solar lighting, blending great solar solar technology with unique design. They are best used to light small areas such as patios, terraces or entrance ways and also add stylish light to your landscape and gardens.
With a beveled glass lantern and detailed floral and leaf scroll work, Flora Solar Lamps fit into a wide range of decors.
Constructed of a durable, rust-resistant powder-coated cast-aluminum frame in an antique bronze finish, it features real beveled glass and a floral pattern very different from most solar lamps on the market today.
Technologically, it's among the best of its size and price available on the market.
Along with six super bright LEDs, it has a patented cone reflector that intensifies its light. It runs on solar power stored in modern, efficient Lithium-Ion rechargeable batteries (included).
On a full solar charge (about 6 hours), it provides between 8 to 10 hours of reliable light. No wiring needed, no electricians and no disruptions to your property during installation.
With virtually no operating costs, it's low-maintenance: just place the lamp in a sunny location and periodically check that the solar panel (located at the top of the fixture) remains clear of dust, leaves, pollen etc.
