The Mueller Investigation Is Having An Unexpected Moment In Democrats' Impeachment Inquiry Months After It Ended
What is dead may never die.

WASHINGTON — Lawyers for House Democrats appeared in court Thursday to implore a judge to enforce a subpoena for testimony about "key events" relevant to Democrats' impeachment investigation — but not the ones that might immediately come to mind.
There was no talk of Rudy Giuliani or Trump's July call with the Ukrainian president. Instead, the judge heard how Democrats needed former White House counsel Don McGahn to testify about events that happened months or even years ago involving former officials with no apparent connection to the Ukraine-related inquiry: Remember former attorney general Jeff Sessions? Or former national security adviser Michael Flynn? Or former FBI director James Comey?
It wasn't the only case related to former special counsel Robert Mueller's long-finished investigation to recently come to a head in court. Just one week ago, another judge ruled that the Justice Department had to turn over previously undisclosed Mueller grand jury materials to House Democrats.
Mueller is having a moment. Thanks to how slowly cases can move through the courts, legal fights that came out of the special counsel's investigation are just now being argued and could have bearing on the impeachment inquiry that is largely disconnected from his work. Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election has little to do with whether Trump was involved in arranging a quid pro quo with Ukraine this year, which is what Democrats are focused on, but these cases raise core legal questions about Congress's power to investigate the executive branch that have made them early proxy skirmishes in the larger impeachment war.
Other elements of the Mueller probe are having a strange second life now, too. During Trump's July call with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, the president's fixation on undermining Mueller's long-finished work reared its head. Before asking Zelensky for help investigating current political rival Joe Biden, he asked for the "favor" of digging up information about the origins of the Russia probe — Trump referenced "CrowdStrike" and a "server," a nod to a conspiracy theory about the company hired by the Democratic National Committee to investigate its hacked servers during the 2016 election.
The momentum of Mueller's politically explosive two-year investigation petered out in the months after his final report became public in April. Mueller made clear that he wasn't exonerating Trump of allegations that the president tried to obstruct the Russia investigation — prosecutors found "substantial evidence" of potentially obstructive acts, according to the report — but declined to make a final "prosecutorial judgment." There would be no new indictments, the Justice Department confirmed at the time.
Attorney General Bill Barr stepped into the void Mueller left, announcing that based on a review of the evidence collected by Mueller's office, the record didn't support a finding that Trump committed a crime. Notwithstanding Barr's assessment, Democrats held up Mueller's report as proof of wrongdoing by the president and said they would pick up the investigation where Mueller left off; Trump and his supporters, meanwhile, claimed victory.
Mueller ended up testifying before Congress but revealed little new information. The public's appetite for Mueller-related news, which once appeared bottomless, seemed to wane — one man told BuzzFeed News after Mueller's congressional appearance that he hadn't been paying attention "because after almost two years of chasing after Donald Trump, and nothing coming out, I just don't watch the news."
Still, Democrats pressed ahead with some attempts at continuing Mueller's investigation. That spurred the McGahn subpoena fight that was argued in court on Thursday. McGahn had participated in voluntary interviews with the special counsel's office and was a central figure in the Mueller report, describing Trump's expressed interest at times in removing Mueller and Sessions.
Democrats subpoenaed McGahn to appear for a hearing on May 21, but McGahn didn't show up after the White House and the Justice Department claimed he was "absolutely immune" from being forced to testify. The House Judiciary Committee filed a lawsuit to enforce the subpoena in early August.
Then, news of the Ukraine call broke and everything shifted.
Democrats had previously tossed around the term "impeachment" this year in talking about the stakes of various investigations into the president, including the follow-up to the Mueller report. But Speaker Nancy Pelosi didn't formally announce an impeachment inquiry until September, after news broke of Trump's call with Zelensky. Congressional committees involved in that inquiry issued a flurry of subpoenas and requests for voluntary cooperation, just as two Mueller-related cases came up on the court docket.
A federal judge in Washington, DC, heard four hours of arguments on Thursday in the McGahn case. First, the Justice Department argued that the court lacked authority to get involved in this sort of fight between Congress and the White House over access to information and testimony. Second, the department argued that even if the court did get involved, it should find that McGahn — and all current and former senior presidential advisers — are completely immune from being forced to testify before Congress.
The Justice Department's immunity argument has direct bearing on the impeachment inquiry going forward. One potential witness, Charles Kupperman, who briefly served as acting national security adviser to Trump this year, was directed by the White House to defy a House subpoena and has filed a lawsuit asking a judge to decide who is right, Democrats or the White House.
A week earlier, meanwhile, another federal judge in Washington had issued a 75-page opinion finding House Democrats were entitled to see otherwise secret grand jury materials prepared as part of Mueller's investigation. There is no known grand jury activity at the moment related to Trump's call with Zelensky and other communications between his administration and Ukraine, but the ruling from US District Chief Judge Beryl Howell included a boost to Democrats — the judge accepted that what Democrats were doing was "an official impeachment inquiry," at a time when the White House and Republicans had denounced Democrats' efforts as illegitimate and refused to cooperate.
Howell noted that although Pelosi had said Democrats would be focused on the more recent Ukraine communications, she also said that preexisting committee investigations into the president fell under the umbrella of the impeachment inquiry, too.
"The White House's stated policy of non-cooperation with the impeachment inquiry weighs heavily in favor of disclosure," Howell wrote. "Congress's need to access grand jury material relevant to potential impeachable conduct by a President is heightened when the Executive Branch willfully obstructs channels for accessing other relevant evidence."
The Justice Department immediately appealed Howell's decision to the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit, and whoever loses the McGahn case is expected to take that case up to the DC Circuit as well.
The Mueller cases could even end up forcing a Supreme Court showdown on questions related to Congress's investigative powers and the validity of the impeachment inquiry before any actual Ukraine-related legal fight — in court papers filed earlier this week, the Justice Department said it would ask the justices to step in if the DC Circuit refused to block disclosure of Mueller's grand jury materials to Democrats.

Q: How to install games using setup.exe flle in ubuntu 18.04? I have assassins creed 2 setup file, setup.exe I tried playonlinux but i got this error: "the program setup.tmp has encountered a serious problem and needs to be closed. we are sorry for the inconvenience". Please anyone help. how can i install this game ??

A: If you want to install any windows application on Linux you need to use Wine
or, a similar tool.
Otherwise, you can run windows virtual machine on Linux.
For gaming on Linux check Proton
Edit: Seems your setup file is corrupted, check on windows first.

A: here are the ones available on steam : https://store.steampowered.com/search/?term=Assassin%27s%20Creed
"I don't want to switch to steam"
well, you're wrong, Steam actually cares about linux and allows you to play your windows game on linux.
it is as beginner-friendly as it gets :
open steam, go to "Steam" -> "Settings" :

go to the last tab ("Steam Play") :

and turn on "Steam Play" (proton) for all games like I have.
then you can just install and play the game as you would under windows.
happy gaming! :)

Chapter 3 endnote 11, from How Emotions are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain by Lisa Feldman Barrett.
...psychologists James A. Russell and Sherri C. Widen showed that two- and three-year-old children, when shown basic emotion facial configurations, are not able to freely label them until they possess clearly differentiated concepts for "Anger," "Sadness," "Fear," and so on. Such young children use words like "sad," "mad," and "scared" interchangeably, like adults who exhibit low emotional granularity.
A program of research from the noted affective scientist, James Russell, and his former student (now colleague) Sherri Widen, does not support the classical view. Before two-year-olds know the words for multiple negative emotion categories, they can reliably distinguish only between positive and negative faces. Yet as children learn the meaning of words for other negative emotions, they become able to distinguish between categories of negative faces. By contrast, children with specific language impairment, who have difficulty naming faces, are much more likely to confuse emotions (e.g., sadness with anger) than their typically developing peers.
Russell & Widen find that toddlers start off with broad affective categories (feels good - feels bad) which then begin to narrow around the age of two, until they take on the structure of adult-like categories for anger, sadness, fear, happiness, disgust, and so on in middle school. (This broad-to-fine process is similar for other categories that children learn, such as animals.) Children start off as low in granularity for their emotion concepts and then progressively become more granular as their conceptual system for emotion becomes more and more differentiated.
Two-year-olds from the U.S. and Canada use emotion words like happy, sad and mad, but they use sad and mad interchangeably, as well as to refer to other unpleasant emotions like disgust and fear.
By age three, they are using the word anger correctly (about 80% of the time, compared to happy at over 90% of the time).
By age 4, they are using sad correctly (over 80% of the time), angry (90% of the time) but fear and surprise are still around 40% and disgust is around 10%.
Surprise reaches 80% around age 6, fear never makes it past 65% at the age 9, and disgust is at 50% at age 9.
Words, rather than facial movements (i.e., expressions), drive emotion perception in children. Young children have an easier time matching a face to a word (a scowling face to the word "angry") than they do matching two scowling faces to each other as examples of the category "anger." This is consistent with the finding that words help 1-year-old children process objects.
In fact, young children have a difficult time categorizing even the most stereotyped facial poses. They show what is called a "face inferiority effect." For example, on a storytelling task, 3 and 4 year old children have a more difficult time generating causes for facial expressions (a scowl) than for a word (anger) or for consequences (a scream). The face inferiority effect is very robust across age groups in kids (3-10) and a variety of different experimental tasks. It's also similar to the context effects we see in emotion perception studies in adults. When it comes to perceiving emotion in another person, almost everything trumps the face (a voice, a body, the surrounding context). Even 5 month old infants rely more on vocal cues than faces when distinguishing positive and negative, and the ability to distinguish affect in visual cues alone develops later (on average, at 7 months of age) than for auditory cues (on average, at 5 months), although infants first learn to distinguish positive from negative with combined cues (4 months).
So, if you have trouble figuring out how someone is feeling by looking at his or her face, you are not alone. And if you find it easy, you are probably, without knowing it, using the surrounding context, including the emotion words and concepts that are most accessible to you in that moment.
In a study of 17 infants at 7 months old, each infant viewed a single posed fear expression and a single posed anger expression while their electrical signal across the brain (EEG) was recorded continuously. The pattern of electrical signal differed between the fear and anger expressions, a finding that the authors interpreted to mean that the infant brain's distinguished the perceptual features of the two faces, although more than that cannot be determined.
For children greater than 12 months, an experimental method is used called social referencing. Experimenters stage an event with an ambiguous outcome, such as crawling over a visual cliff, and a parent or adult experimenter provides a nonverbal cue to the infant who must categorize it to know how to act. Most of these experiments have parents pose facial expressions that differ in valence (happy vs. afraid, or happy vs. angry) or differ in arousal (happy vs. surprised), so these studies give evidence of infants' affect concepts but not really of their emotion concepts.
Boone & Cunningham (1998) studied 4-, 5-, and 8-year-olds to investigate their ability to categorize happiness, sadness, anger and fear in the expressive body movements of dance. Five-year-olds could categorize fear and sadness above chance, but this could have been due to arousal alone, rather than emotion. Eight-year-olds and adults achieved better than chance for all categories.

Gujarat ATS arrests man in Srinagar for drug dealing
By Press Trust of India on September 18, 2018 Comments Off on Gujarat ATS arrests man in Srinagar for drug dealing
Ahmedabad: A man was arrested in Srinagar in J&K by the Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) in connection with a racket involved in selling heroin smuggled from Pakistan using sea route, police said Monday.
Acting on a tip-off, a team of Gujarat ATS nabbed Nazir Ahmed Thakar on Sunday from a place in Srinagar with the help of local police and brought him here Monday, the ATS said in a release.
This is the third arrest by the Gujarat ATS in the heroin smuggling case.
Last month, the ATS had arrested two men from different parts of Gujarat and seized 5 kg of heroin, worth Rs 14.84 crore in the international market, from one of them. Thakar, a native of Anantnag in Kashmir, allegedly took delivery of a large amount of heroin from one of the accused, Rafiq Adam Sumra, at Unjha town in Mehsana district a few months back, the police said.
The ATS had nabbed Sumra and one Aziz Abdul Bhagad last month and seized heroin worth Rs 14.84 crore from Bhagad. While Sumra was held from Mandvi town in Kutch, Bhagad was nabbed from Salaya, a coastal town in Gir Somnath district.
During the probe, it came to light that Bhagad had brought around 300 kg of heroin from Pakistan via sea route five months back and gave a large portion of the smuggled contraband to Sumra, the release said, adding the 5-kg heroin seized from the two accused last month was part of that consignment.
Later, Sumra handed over the contraband to Thakar and one of his accomplices, Manzur Ahmed Mir, at Unjha. The investigation also revealed that Sumra delivered the contraband to Thakar and Mir on the instruction of a Punjab-based drug dealer, identified as Simranjeet. The ATS claimed that the consignment was transferred to Thakar and Mir for its sale in north India. Both Mir and Simranjeet are yet to be nabbed, the police said.

Q: How to have multiple values for a single php variable? So my query works on the actual phpmysql server when I manually type in some values but in php I am having some difficulty.
This is my SQL table:
userID | forename | surname  |      email         | age    |
------------------------------------------------------------
    1  |  Jack    |  Wolf    |   dj@rave.com      |  19    |
    2  |  Mark    |  Smith   |   mark@rave.com    |  18    |
    3  |  Ben     |  Cas     |   sex@club.com     |  21    |
    4  |  Jos     |  Jis     |   jis@jos.com      |  19    |
    5  |  Luke    |  Kils    |  kils@kiss.com     |  23    |
------------------------------------------------------------

Basically, I want to pass in some UserID values like this 1,3,5 and it should display:
userID | forename | surname  |      email         | age    |
------------------------------------------------------------
    1  |  Jack    |  Wolf    |   dj@rave.com      |  19    |
    3  |  Ben     |  Cas     |   sex@club.com     |  21    |
    5  |  Luke    |  Kils    |  kils@kiss.com     |  23    |
------------------------------------------------------------

The userID values can vary depending on what the user selects so it can be 2 or even 1,2,3,4 or even 1,2,3,4,5
This is my php code:
<?php
require "init.php";
if(!empty($_POST['userID'])){
    $userID = $_POST['userID'];
    $stmt = "SELECT userID, forename, surname, email, age
            FROM users
            WHERE userID IN (?)";
    $result = $conn-> prepare($stmt);
    $result->bind_param('i', $userID);
    $result->execute();
    $outcome=$result->get_result();
    $response = array();
    if(($outcome->num_rows)>0){
        while($row = $outcome->fetch_assoc()){
            $response[] = array
            (
                "userID" => $row["userID"],
                "forename" => $row["forename"],
                "surname" => $row["surname"],
                "email" => $row["email"],
                "age" => $row["age"]
            );
        }
    echo json_encode($response);
    }
    else{
        echo json_encode("None found");
    }
}

?>

My code can't do the userID = 1,2,3 thing, if you know what I mean. userID can only take at most 1 parameter but I want to input as many as I like at times.
How can I fix it?

Still pending:
Dustin Reddish, 25: Case still pending
Troy Travis Starling, 45: Case still pending
The office of Florida Statewide Prosecution is handling the case. We'll keep watching this case. — Lady Freethinker staff
Florida authorities have arrested nine people accused of running a sickening operation that had black bears chased, tortured and killed by packs of hunting dogs throughout various counties in the state.
Footage shared on social media reveals the depth of torture experienced by the bears, with one heartbreaking video showing a terrified, exhausted black bear attempting to escape up a tree before falling to the ground and being mauled to death by at least a dozen frenzied dogs.
Bears as young as one week old were savaged in these brutal attacks, the majestic animals so overwhelmed by the sheer number of dogs they were unable to fight back.
Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi says their investigation found that two bears died as a direct result of the baiting and hunting, but authorities suspect many more were killed over the last year.
The nearly year-long investigation discovered the group using buckets of peanut butter, dog food, and stolen donuts to bait the bears before ordering the dogs to attack the helpless animals. Many of the incidents were filmed and used as "advertising" to sell hunting dogs. Florida county authorities have confiscated 53 dogs used in the operation.
It is illegal to hunt bears in Florida, and the perpetrators have been charged with felonies and misdemeanors including animal cruelty, illegally baiting and taking black bears, and RICO violations. Each person accused may face at least 30 years in prison.
Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi and local authorities should be commended for taking this case seriously so far and working to shut down the operation. Sign this petition encouraging her to see this case through to justice, and push for a lifelong ban on the hunting or keeping of any animal for all found guilty.

I can't tell you how amazing it is to have so many people tell you how perfect your child is at an occasion like a wedding.
Will's little sister got married last friday and it was an extra special occasion as he was walking her down the aisle. Elfie had a bit of a terrified moment with all the applause at the speeches (although I think her tears were because she'd just seen a preview of what her future wedding day speech will be like) but spent the rest of the day happy and content.
She obviously looked beautiful (she was wearing a gorgeous bubble dress by Their Nibs from Felix and Lilys in Camden Passage, N1). Her behaviour was very good considering the long day; we got up at 5.30am and her grandparents took her back to our hotel at 11pm so mummy and daddy could enjoy the wedding DJ and drink shots of Elderflower Vodka.
One woman said to me 'your baby makes my womb hurt'. Er, thanks.
Elfie slept through all the boring bits and woke up just as the ceremony started. She belched halfway through… that's my girl.
She fell asleep mid-wedding disco but was woken up by the first dance. I put her in the BabyBjorn and danced her back off to sleep (I now have thighs of steel from all the bouncing in high heels).
We made our way back to our hotel at Shoreditch House for 1am, but stopped off for a nightcap of prosecco and cocktails first. Impressively I was up with baby the next morning for a rooftop swim (she did not like it). I am wearing my glasses here because Will drank my contacts the night before.
I haven't let him forget about it since.

Two Juveniles Arrested For Series Of Shootings In Virginia Beach Area, Including Two Homicides
Two juveniles have been arrested for a series of shootings that took place in the Virginia Beach area, including two homicides, 13 News Now reports.
After several anonymous tips have been received through Virginia Beach Crime Solvers, two 17-year-old's have been arrested. The police followed up on a suspect with a search warrant, and after evidence was found at the suspect's home, an arrest was immediately made.
After further investigation, the identification of a second suspect was made, leading to a second search warrant and arrest. The juveniles are currently being held without bond at the Virginia Beach Juvenile Detention Center.
2 local juveniles linked to multiple shootings Virginia Beach | https://t.co/B5uxNJ2bGH #crime https://t.co/lIus27YOTL
— Darren Kavinoky (@DarrenKavinoky) December 11, 2016
The suspects names have not yet been revealed, and the list of charges have not been made public as of yet.
Here is a list of the shootings that both suspects are linked to.
Shooting on Skylard Drive on November 29, 2016
Shooting on Old Clubhouse Road on November 20, 2016
Homicide on Hawk Avenue on December 2, 2016
Shooting on Dory Drive on December 2, 2016
Homicide on Campion Court on December 4, 2016
Shooting on Dunnbury Court on December 7, 2016
Shooting on Old Clubhouse Road on December 7, 2016
It was previously reported by WTKR that police were investigating a fatal shooting that occurred on Campion Drive early in the morning on December 4.
When police arrived at the scene, they found a woman, Christine Bender, 60, suffering from a gunshot wound. She was rushed to a nearby hospital, but later died from her injuries.

Prior to that on December 2, a homicide investigation was underway for a shooting that occurred on Hawk Avenue that left one man dead.
The shooting occurred at Tapo mobile home park in Virginia Beach. The police responded to the call and found a man dead at the scene. Zacarias Aguilar-Ayala, 34, was later identified as the victim, Wavy revealed.
Doris Jayo, a neighbor, expressed worry, as this was the first of two shootings in the area within a matter of a half-hour. Not even an hour after the homicide on Hawk Avenue, a second shooting was reported just a mile away on Dory Drive at the Waterfront Apartments.
"I don't know what's going on, but I'm worried."

According to a neighbor, Zacarias was working on home repairs when he was suddenly shot dead. It was revealed that the family recently moved there from Puerto Rico, and the victim was noticed several times fixing the roof of the house, 13 News Now reports.
At the time, it was unknown whether the two shootings were connected, but the investigation has now connected the two 17-year-old's to all of the area shootings within the past couple of weeks.
Elizabeth Stevens, the daughter of Christine Bender, made a statement to the press regarding the homicides.
"First, I want to give my condolences to the family of Zacarias Aguilar-Ayala. I hope they find some closure as senseless as their loss was. Now, I would like to thank the Virginia Beach Police, everyone who worked on individual cases and whoever made the connection. And lastly, a thank you to everyone who cared, who misses my Mother or Zacarias."
According to 13 News Now, the man who was shot on Dory Drive shortly after Zacarias, was critically injured. No report has been revealed on the current status of the victim.
On the same night as the Dory Drive and Hawk Avenue shootings, a woman was arrested for stabbing a man in the torso. Anna Nicole Hankinson, 46, was charged with malicious wounding. Hankinson was taken to Virginia Beach Correctional Center with no bond.
It was further revealed by Pilot Online that the victim and the suspect knew each other. The victim was taken to the hospital, and it has been reported that he is in stable condition.
Hopefully the Virginia Beach area will be more peaceful now that we have two very dangerous criminals off the streets. Updates will be provided as they become available.

Fulham 0-1 Tottenham: Spurs bounce back from back-to-back Premier League defeats
Fulham 0-1 Tottenham:Spurs bounce back from back-to-back Premier League defeats courtesy Harry Kane
By Edward Oseghe with Agency reports
…… Kane opened the scoring with a fine finish just before the half time interval. The win helped Spurs bounce back from back-to-back Premier League defeats
A typically brilliant Harry Kane finish was enough to see Tottenham past Fulham, cementing their hold on fifth place and closing the gap on Manchester United in fourth. Kane now has 266 goals for the club, joining Jimmy Greaves as its all-time leading scorer.
Fulham were by far the better side in the first half without creating too much, but in its final 15 minutes Spurs improved slightly. That said, a goal did not look imminent until, in injury time, they got the ball into Kane 25 yards from goal and one quick turn and look later, a low curler was fizzing past Bern Leno. Who knows how many more he'll add to that 266 should he stay at the club.
The home side tried their best in the second half, but had neither the wit nor the class to make something happen. Nevertheless, they'll be delighted with their first half of the season, while Spurs are still posing more questions than they're answering; they just so happen to have Kane, who is good.
Spurs beat Fulham because they have Harry Kane. Nothing his manager did, and nothing any of his teammates did, had any serious impact on the result.
In isolation, this wouldn't matter – brilliant players are brilliant players because they do things others cannot. But with Conte's side, it is the case with alarming regularity, and there is no sense whatsoever of a serious side in development.
Though the season is only half-over and there remains plenty of time for them to improve, should they achieve Daniel Levy's holy grail of Champions League qualification, it will be because the sides above them have fallen apart.

About New London, Connecticut
New London is a seaport city and a port of entry on the northeast coast of the United States, located at the mouth of the Thames River in New London County, Connecticut.

The wealth that whaling brought into the city furnished the capital to fund much of the city's present architecture. The city subsequently became home to other shipping and manufacturing industries, but it has gradually lost most of its industrial heart. New London ...

Cristóbal Balenciaga Eizaguirre (sprich []; * 21. Januar 1895 in Getaria, Spanien; † 23. März 1972 in Xàbia, Spanien) war ein einflussreicher Modeschöpfer der französischen Haute Couture. 1937 gründete er das bis heute bestehende Modeunternehmen Balenciaga. Er galt als "Perfektionist seines Handwerks und Meister aller Couturiers", als "Gralshüter der Eleganz".

Leben
Balenciaga war Sohn eines baskischen Fischers und einer Näherin. Gefördert durch die spanische Markgräfin Marquesa de Casa Torres, für die Balenciagas Mutter arbeitete, absolvierte er ab 1907 in San Sebastián eine Ausbildung zum Schneider. 1911 fand Balenciaga im gleichen Ort bei dem Modehersteller Grandes Almacenes Au Louvre als Designer für gehobene Damenmode eine Anstellung, die ihn regelmäßig nach Paris als Zentrum der internationalen Modewelt führte. Mit finanzieller Unterstützung der Markgräfin eröffnete Balenciaga 1917 in San Sebastián einen Schneidersalon für hochpreisige Damenmode, dem sich Haute-Couture-Salons in Madrid und Barcelona anschlossen. Sein eigenes Unternehmen, Balenciaga y Compañia, gründete er 1918 zusammen mit den Unternehmerinnen Benita und Daniela Lizaso und benannte es nach der Trennung 1924 in Cristóbal Balenciaga um. Zu seinen Kundinnen zählten Königin Maria Christina und deren Enkelin Prinzessin Isabella Alfonsa (1904–1985). 1927 eröffnete er ein Geschäft namens Eisa Costura (nach dem Geburtsnamen seiner Mutter, Eizaguirre) mit Konfektionsmode für Damen in San Sebastián. Nach dem Sturz der Monarchie in Spanien 1931 und der damit verbundenen Auswanderung vieler vermögender Spanier in Zeiten des gesellschaftlichen Umbruchs musste Balenciaga Konkurs anmelden. 1932 startete er mit seinem Modesalon Eisa neu und eröffnete wieder Niederlassungen in Madrid und Barcelona.

Zu Beginn des Spanischen Bürgerkriegs 1936 emigrierte Balenciaga nach einem erfolglosen Umweg über London nach Paris, wo er 1937 erstmals Haute Couture Mode präsentierte. Mit seinem Lebenspartner, dem französisch-polnischen Millionär Władzio Jawrorowski d'Attainville († 1948), und einem weiteren Unternehmer gründete er die Balenciaga SARL. Seine spanischen Geschäfte hatte er vorübergehend geschlossen, eröffnete sie aber ab 1938 unter dem Namen Eisa Costura wieder sukzessive. 1938 eröffnete er einen Haute-Couture-Salon in der Pariser Avenue George V. Seine eleganten und modernen, bisweilen strengen Kreationen für selbstbewusste Frauen fanden großen Anklang in der Pariser Modeszene. Spätestens ab den 1950er Jahren galt Balenciaga als der "König der Haute Couture". Um seine Entwürfe vor Kopien zu schützen, fanden seine Modenschauen für die Presse immer einen Monat nach allen anderen Couture-Veranstaltungen statt, zu welchen Balenciaga seine Kreationen ausschließlich seinen Privatkunden und den Modeeinkäufern präsentierte. Sein Protegé Hubert de Givenchy, mit dem Balenciaga eine lebenslange Freundschaft verband, übernahm diese Vorgehensweise für Givenchy.

1958 wurden Balenciagas Verdienste um die Pariser Modewelt mit einer Mitgliedschaft in der französischen Ehrenlegion gewürdigt. Coco Chanel würdigte ihn als "einzig wahren Couturier". 1968 verabschiedete sich Balenciaga aus der Modewelt und schloss sein Unternehmen, mit Ausnahme der Parfümsparte. Nur für die Hochzeit der Enkelin von Spaniens Diktator Francisco Franco entwarf er 1972 noch ein Brautkleid mit einer imposanten Hutkreation.

Balenciaga starb 1972 im Urlaub in Xàbia an einem Herzinfarkt. Er liegt in seinem Geburtsort Getaria begraben. Zeitlebens hatte er die Öffentlichkeit gemieden und keine Interviews gegeben.

Zu den berühmten Kundinnen von Balenciaga gehörten Mona von Bismarck, Grace Kelly, Ava Gardner, Audrey Hepburn und Jackie Kennedy.

Vermächtnis
1999 wurde in Spanien die Cristóbal Balenciaga Stiftung zur Wahrung der Erinnerung an den Designer ins Leben gerufen, der bis zu seinem Tod 2018 Hubert de Givenchy als Präsident vorstand. Die spanische Königin Sofia eröffnete am 7. Juni 2011 in Getaria das ihm zu Ehren benannte Museum Cristóbal Balenciaga Museoa.

The series is produced for Travel Channel by Half Yard Productions, acclaimed producers of "Say Yes to the Dress" and "The Last Alaskans."
"We had a ball filming with the Lazydays team for Big Time RV; these guys are the real deal and the most professional in the business," said Abby Greensfelder, Executive Producer-Owner at Half Yard Productions.

"They gave us incredible access and let us take a deep dive into the happenings with the customers and on the lot."

SEASON TWO PREMIERES SUNDAY, AUGUST 16 AT 8:00 P.M. AND 8:30 P.M. ET/PT ON TRAVEL CHANNEL (BACK-TO-BACK EPISODES)
SEASON PREMIERE:
"Windshield Wipeout" – Sunday, August 16 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT
Antique dealers Jeff and Judy are trading in their two-year-old coach for a larger, more luxurious model. With a whopping $500,000 budget, the couple meets up with Lazydays RV Expert Demond McKinley. First, Jeff and Judy look at the used 2003 Prevost Millennium, a luxury coach that typically retails for well over a million dollars when sold new. When Judy notices the weathered-looking kitchen cabinets, McKinley shows them the brand new Tiffin Zephyr – which is $67,000 over their price range. Next up is the Winnebago Grand Tour – at $436,000, it fits their budget. But the small master bath may be a deal breaker. While vacationing in Alaska, the windshield of David and Kathryn's Class A coach was damaged by rocks. They arrive at the Lazydays service center in Tampa, Fla., and meet certified tech Michael Varga to see if the 200-pound windshield can be fixed. Over in Tucson, Ariz., the traveling vaudeville act Carnival of Illusion is in the market for a trailer with a large bed and storage space for costumes. The Airstream Eddie Bauer is just shy of their $95,000 budget, but Susan likes the roomy interior and storage capacity. A less expensive option, the Airstream International is priced at $70,000. Roland likes the gray interior, but Susan feels it lacks enough space. Which RV will make the best traveling green room for these performers?
"16 Women, 1 RV" – Sunday, August 16 at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT
Dan and Nikki are trading in their old RV so they can upgrade to a spacious, luxury model with enough torque to tow Dan's toys. They meet up with Lazydays RV Expert Tracy 'Bama' Elliot to find out just how much of an upgrade they can get on their $325,000 budget. In Florida, a dynamite roller derby team known as the Tampa Tantrums is tired of shelling out money for hotel rooms when they're on the road. They decide it's time to rent a road warrior that can sleep 16 teammates without sacrificing space and comfort. The team gets paired with Lazydays RV expert Steve Mularz to find a large sleeper coach within their $1,500 weekly budget. An unlikely duo of ravers, mother Suzie and her teenage daughter Sami, are looking for the perfect-sized caravan to hit up as many EDM festivals over the summer as they can. While Sami prefers glam upgrades, Suzie is more practical and focused on the bare necessities. RV Expert Steve Spears tries to show Suzie and Sami the best of both worlds, but may have to exceed their $30,000 limit.

Home U.S. Democratic Committee Thinks AOC Should Watch Her Step
Democratic Committee Thinks AOC Should Watch Her Step
By Neil Campbell

Self-described "democratic socialist" Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) should check herself before she wrecks herself when it comes to challenging Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in the 2022 primaries, according to Jay Jacobs, Chairman of the New York State Democratic Committee.
"I think it would be a primary driven by ambition more than by need… Chuck Schumer has been a progressive force in the state for decades," said Jacobs in an interview with the New York Post on Saturday. "[AOC] has a constituency that admires her and supports her, and they're in her community, and I think it would be a loss for them if she were to do that," said Jacobs.
The Democratic Party suffered from a leaked conference call shortly after the Nov. 3 Election where the moderate side of the Party was fierce with the progressive side for pushing unpopular narratives such as "Defund the Police," advocating for the Marxist-linked Black Lives Matter, and the open advocation of socialism.
Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) yelled on the leaked call: "No one should say 'defund the police' ever again… Nobody should be talking about socialism." She said of the Democrat's 2020 results: "It was a failure. It was not a success. We lost incredible members of Congress… We will get f—–g torn apart in 2022," she said, unless the Party's socialist agenda is nipped in the bud.
House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC) shared the same views, saying if Democrats "are going to run on Medicare for All, defund the police, socialized medicine, we're not going to win." The Democrat majority shrunk in the House of Representatives from 235 to 199 in 2018, and 222 to 211 in 2020.
Ocasio-Cortez, a 31-year-old who became the youngest woman ever to serve in the U.S. Congress after winning the 2018 primaries, made it clear that her ambitions aim higher. In an interview with Vanity Fair in October, she said: "I don't know if I'm really going to be staying in the House forever… I don't see myself really staying where I'm at for the rest of my life."
In December, the youngster took direct aim at her senior peers Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's leadership in an interview with The Intercept: "A lot of this is not just about these two personalities, but also about the structural shifts that these two personalities have led in their time in leadership."
Ocasio-Cortez is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America and has pushed hard for far-left initiatives such as the controversial "Green New Deal" and abolishing U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
U.S. President Donald Trump told Fox News in an interview in August that he believes Ocasio-Cortez will challenge Schumer in the Senate: "Schumer's going to get beaten by her.
"She's going to run against Schumer, and he knows that and he's going to get beaten by her unless you can talk her out of doing it."

Earlier in December, she was defeated in her bid to join the House Energy and Commerce Committee, a committee that would have given her space to push her agenda of leftist health care and climate policy initiatives, by moderate Rep. Kathleen Rice (D-NY).
Prior to the vote, Ocasio-Cortez was put on notice by her fellow Democrats for actively campaigning against the moderate side of the party: "I'm taking into account who works against other members in primaries and who doesn't," said Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX).
AOC lost the secret ballot by a landslide: 46-13.

This post originally appears on Lensa.com's Employer Blog. It's the first part of a two-part article aimed at not just espousing some tips from an individual, but more so to have an interactive discussion with other HR professionals.
Even if you're technically not the only HR pro in your organization, we'd still love to hear from you if you're feeling the effects of taking on more, and the business need requires you to expand your role.
Does your day sound like this?
If you're heading up the human resources function (or People Operations in the updated vernacular) in a company with a one-person-only HR department, then you're easily on the receiving end of a conversation like that.
Whether you're a Head of People Ops in a newly formed startup that's ready to scale, or if you're a permanent fixture in a SMB with your mission being to maintain the status quo- if you're the HR Department of One, you're likely working double time. And while the same could be true for a Marketing or Finance Department of One as well, it's especially taxing trying to successfully run the entire the People Ops function by yourself.
Being a successful HR Department of One means you have to juggle between focusing on your company's strategy while ensuring all of the necessary tactical duties are being completed. So, for example you might need to send the Open Enrollment census over to your benefits broker so they can shop carriers for competitive premiums first thing in the morning. While later in the morning you're meeting with the COO to discuss strategic planning for the new 2016 FLSA changes coming up, and how to reclassify affected workers from salary to hourly comps. After lunch you've got a call with the company's legal counsel to discuss an impending lawsuit. And finally, the end of your day consists of back to back phone interviews for the entire afternoon, and now you've got to close yourself off in order to make sure you're paying enough attention to these calls, so as to not make any "false-negatives" short-list decisions.
There are plenty of resources available to be sure. There's a textbook on being an HR Department of One. LinkedIn has a dedicated "HR Department of One" group. The Society for Human Resources Management has discussed the topic in articles and panel presentations at its national conference, and even has an online community for other pros to share tips and tricks. And yet to many of the HR professionals who own the entire HR function in their organizations, they might feel like an anomaly of sorts in their one-person teams, or they might not have the time to focus on external development or such resources.
Immerse yourself into the functions that provide visceral, experiential information about the organizational structure and processes, and you'll experience a genuine sense of what the culture is firsthand.
The above logic could be applied to increase value in any position really, i.e., the importance of understanding the business, really knowing the product, the services, and the customers.
Additionally, by getting in the trenches you'll establish more credibility among the employees and the leaders. Consensus-building and gaining buy-in are extremely important for a solo HR hero. During organizational development initiatives, you'll be able to use your clout and firsthand knowledge of the actual business to make your points and find consensus, and your people will most likely be less resistant to change.
It's great to frame your role within such a citizenship mentality described above, e.g., being an employee of the organization first, and it's equally (or even more) important to empathize with the leadership in your company. There may come a time when you'll be wearing your "legal compliance hat", and perhaps you'll need to rain on your CEO's unbridled-optimism-parade about a great idea or new opportunity that potentially exposes the company to risk. Trust me, it happens, and you should try to see where your Chief Officer is coming from before being judgemental.
A CEO of a SMB likely has a lot on his or her mind at any given time. From trying to sustain or manage growth, to articulating a clear and inspirational vision for the company- being at the helm of this ship is no easy feat. It's why they get paid the big bucks! For better or worse, it's important to keep an impartial partnership with the execs. You cannot blindly follow every direction on a whim when you're ultimately responsible for being the company's day-to-day employment law compliance expert. But, it's ultimately in your best interest to start with an understanding of why they might be pushing a risky agenda in the first place.
And when driving toward your mission, I recommend assigning weightings to complicated decision-making situations, e.g., 40% weight to the perspective of the overall company/people in the organization, 30% to the potential impact on the customers, and 30% to the leadership/executive team's interests. These stakeholders will likely have similar interests, but when they don't, your ultimate responsibility will skew slightly 10% towards the people, or the company as a whole. Which I think is a fair bias, considering the mission is to balance talent strategy with effective and accurate tactical and compliance.
Juggling talent and culture strategy (i.e., the bigger picture questions) with the tactical and transactional HR duties (administrative and compliance-related duties) might be one of the most difficult challenges for a solo HR pro. If so, it might make sense to look into a PEO (or Professional Employer Organizations) to manage the tactical and compliance-related functions. PEOs will basically handle your company's payroll processing, benefits administration, risk management solutions (workers compensation, EPLI, etc.), and also include an HRIS system for a service premium (usually either a per employee per month fee, or a percentage of total payroll). These could be especially valuable because PEOs allow you to focus 100% of your efforts on strategy and culture, which would allow more time for realigning cultural values, creating a performance management process, implementing a new selection system, scaling the growth of new teams in a startup, etc.
Although, if your company doesn't have a budget for a both a PEO and your salary as the HR Director, it's going to behoove you to try some other alternatives. One such option is to streamline the tactical administrative duties as much as possible by sourcing from any number of amazing tech solutions popping up on the market every day. Most of the hottest human capital management (HCM) solutions will easily integrate with applicant tracking systems (ATS), assessments, recruiting platforms, rewards and referral apps, and customer relationship management (CRM) platforms. Adding tech to your budget is worth considering, and more often than not, the cost for separately sourcing these applications is still less than the cost of a PEO. Just keep in mind that the services PEOs offer regarding risk management solutions and wholesale prices for large-group health insurance plans are great features, and no matter what, you'll need to weigh out the costs and benefits to either strategy. And if you decide not to use a PEO, make sure you're still covering all of your bases regarding those other compliance to-dos on your own.
In the end, it's no easy accomplishment running your company's entire HR department by yourself. You need to stay up to date with all of the changing regulations in the employment law landscape, while also being front and center for your people when they have questions about payroll or benefits. Serving as a coach and partner to your people managers, and also as an advisor and consultant to your executive team. It sounds like a lot of responsibility, but taking on the role of solo HR hero can be especially rewarding once you start to see your company grow. The feeling of looking around your company and realizing you were (likely) the first point of contact for each employee, and basically represented the first impression these people formed of your company is extremely powerful, especially when you're looking at a group of happy people.
Put in the time to learn the business outside of a typical HR mindset and build credibility in the organization. Empathize with the executive leadership but also ensure the company is complying with laws and regulations. Prioritize talent strategy, but also take care of the transactional requirements and you'll be recognized as the People Ops leader in your company. Amazing things happen in companies where HR and People Operations are taken seriously. High performance cultures are fostered. People grow both personally and professionally. Teams are formed, and give birth to friendships. And (some might argue most importantly), organizational productivity per employee increases substantially, and in turn boosts the financial performance of the company.
In closing, be the best HR Department of One you can be now, and who knows, maybe someday you'll have a budget for growing out your own team!

Gone: Michael Grant
Tied for BBAW Best KidLit Blog with The Well-Read Child
The Forgotten Door: Alexander Key
Book: The Forgotten Door
Author: Alexander Key
Age Range: 8-12
Do you know how it is when you LOVE a book? When you're reading it just to revisit, and not to find out what happened? That is how it is for me with The Forgotten Door. So when Jenny from Jenny's Wonderland of Books issued a call for Carnival of Children's Literature entries about "history of children's books or favorite old books", I naturally thought of The Forgotten Door.
The Forgotten Door is a middle grade science fiction novel, published in 1965. The author is Alexander Key, who also wrote Escape to Witch Mountain. It has been one of my very favorite books for as long as I can remember. The Forgotten Door is the story of a young boy from a far distant and highly evolved planet who accidentally falls through a hidden doorway. He winds up in a cave in the mountains on Earth, with amnesia from his fall. He remembers that his name is Jon, and he can recognize that certain things, like books, are familiar, while others, like cars, are not. He doesn't speak English, but he does read minds, and that helps him to find his way.
Jon is taken in by a kind family, the Beans, who gradually figure out (and help Jon to figure out) that he's from another planet. While the Beans are eager to help Jon, others from their rural community are much more suspicious, and conflict ensues. As Jon tries to recover his memory, he and Beans find themselves in danger.
I can't objectively tell you why I love this book so much. When I read it now, part of my experience of the book is an echo of my first reading, as I, with the Bean family, figured out that Jon wasn't human. I was charmed when he learned English in two days, refused to eat meat or wear leather, and knew how to communicate with animals. I was touched by the Bean family's unquestioning decision to help Jon, even when it put their own lives at risk. I cried at the end. You can't, as a reviewer, put aside an affection like that, and objectively review a book.
I can see, on reading the book now, that the characters are a bit black and white. There are good guys and bad guys, with only some minor background on why some of the bad guys became bad. And I can see the implausibility of a boy from a far distant planet and finding that, appearance-wise, he fits in pretty well with humans (though some explanation is provided for this). I can even see that the book moralizes a bit -- Jon is shocked at the concepts of money, war, and greed, because these things don't exist in his more advanced world.
But none of that matters. I still adore The Forgotten Door. Jon is a very likable character. In the first chapter, despite disorientation from the fall, he is resolute in moving forward. He puts himself in danger to protect a deer. And once he recovers a little, he displays a sense of humor. Here's one of the earliest scenes:
"Where was he? How did he get here? He pondered these questions, but no answers came. He felt as if he had fallen. Only -- where could he have fallen from? The rocky walls met overhead, sloping outward into a tangle of leafy branches.
There was another question his mind carefully tiptoed around, because it was more upsetting than the others. Whenever he approached it, it caused a dull aching in his forehead. Finally, however, he gave his head a small shake and faced it squarely.
Who am I?" (Chapter 1)
The Beans are great, too. They don't have a television set, because they've been using their extra money for books, but they hope to have one someday. And they struggle when they have to explain to Jon that sometimes it's necessary to tell a lie (like about where he's from).
The Forgotten Door is fast-paced, with the tension mounting right up to the book's climax, and a very quick read. I think that Key did a great job with atmosphere, from Jon's initial walk through countryside that looks inexplicably unfamiliar to the kitchen table at the Bean's cozy farmhouse. A quick Internet search reveals that many people who grew up in the 60s have strong memories of this book.
More than any of these things, I think that what moves me about The Forgotten Door is the idea behind it - that there could be civilizations so advanced that a boy would be baffled to ever encounter anyone who wished him harm. While The Forgotten Door offers a pretty clear indictment of our civilization in the 1960s, I think that the existence of Jon's world is a message of hope. Alexander Key makes this clear in the book's dedication:
"To all those who like the
starlight, and wonder about
other places and other people."
So, I really can't tell you if you or your children would like this book now on a first reading. I think that you would. But I can't be sure. What I can be sure of is that I'll be re-reading The Forgotten Door every couple of years for the rest of my life. Thanks, Jenny, for inspiring me to re-read it today. And I will add that the fact that this book is still in print means that there are other people out there who love it, too.

The Fabelmans review – Spielberg's lavish love letter to cinema
Michelle Williams and Paul Dano are spot on as the budding film-maker's parents, yet the director's childhood memoir plays to the awards gallery rather than to his fans. Just as every pop music sensation must at some point treat their audiences to a song portentously titled Time (Pink Floyd, David Bowie, the Alan Parsons Project, Tom Waits, Culture Club et al), so film-makers inevitably wind up courting awards with thinly disguised autobiographical movies about how they first fell in love with cinema. In little over a year we've had Kenneth Branagh's Belfast, which includes a trip to the flicks with the family to see Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and Sam Mendes's Empire of Light, a reminiscence inspired by his mother interspersed with touching projectionist elegies about movies creating the "illusion of motion, illusion of life".

'Hedvig' is the only character whose name remained exactly the same from the film's base text 'The Wild Duck'. Peterson's name also remained the same, except for a spelling change.
When Hedvig returns the shotgun to the shed, the narrator says "She unlocks a safe and places the rifle inside". This is despite the fact that the narrator has referred to the gun as a 'shotgun' in all the previous scenes.
Version of BBC Sunday-Night Theatre: The Wild Duck (1952)

Performed by Wang Chung
Real, palpable narrative momentum
Solid generational drama with real, palpable narrative momentum. The actors were fabulous, it looks fantastic, and the script is top notch. It doesn't hurt to have Ibsen behind you, but this movie goes far beyond the constrictions of a stage production. The only real problem for this movie is the obviousness of the premise from very early on. Some of the drama is leaked out of the story because of this. It's still a worthwhile watch though, because it's carried off quite well. The lack of suspense of what the situation is becomes the suspense of what the characters are going to do about it when it plays itself out. And unlike many other movies with this structure, the actors are all up to the task.
