Perversion affective et perversion sexuelle: Les quatre etats de l'affect
(Affective perversion and sexual perversion: The four states of the affect)
In: Revue Française de Psychanalyse, Vol. 63, No. 1, 1999, pp. 27-41
Abstract: "Notes that nowhere are affects more perverted than in sexual perversions. This is especially obvious when one considers the affect insofar as it represents the different poles of the instinctual circuit. Perverted practices represent a privileged area for understanding affective processes in general and their principal modalities. Bonnet subsequently explains why and how it is possible to speak of the 4 elements which organize the instinctual circuit, i.e., thrust, source, object and aims. The author discusses the affects involved in different sexual perversions: affect/aim associated with exhibitionism; affect/object associated with pedophilia and fetishism; affect/thrust corresponding to voyeurism; affect/source, associated with overcathexis of the anal zone. Perversions, however, can also be sublimated into artistic manifestations, e.g., in the visual arts and music. Some clinical material illustrates in part the author's thesis." (APA/PsycINFO)

A cena perversa
(The perverse scene)
In: Revista Brasileira de Psicanalise, Vol. 33, No. 1, 1999, pp. 177-187
Abstract: "Formulates, based on a TV documentary on the subject of paraphilias, a metapsychological and clinical reflection on the perverse personality. Quoting Freud's words that define neurosis as the negative of perversion, the author draws a parallel between what he calls 'the dream scene' and 'the perverse scene.' Freud's case of the Wolf Man (1910-1914), and the dream central to it, are used as paradigm for the dream scene. As paradigm for the perverse scene, the author uses the case of Freud's patient in 'Fetishism' (1927), developing his thesis that one of the basic components of perversion is the denial of mortality. An intriguing clinical case from the author's practice, in which new aspects of perversion appear, illustrates the theme of this essay." (APA/PsycINFO)

Hemingway's fetishism: Psychoanalysis and the mirror of manhood.
Publisher: New York University Press, New York
Notes: XV, 366 pp.
Abstract: From the cover: "In Hemingway's Fetishism, the author demonstrates in detail and with new archival evidence how fetishism was crucial to the construction and negotiation of identity and gender in both Hemingway's life and his fiction. Critics have long acknowledged Hemingway's lifelong erotic obsession with hair, but this book is the first to explain in a coherent manner why Hemingway was a fetishist and why the public should care. Without reducing Hemingway's art to his psychosexuality, the author demonstrates that when the fetish appears in Hemingway's fiction, it always does so with a retinue of attendant fantasies, themes, and symbols that are among the most prominent and important in Hemingway's work."

Abstract: "A review of the psychometric properties of the Abel Assessment for Interest in Paraphilias (AAIP) is presented. The data supporting the AAIP's history, purpose, data, reliability, validity, and norms are reported, with the conclusion that its use with adults is tenuous at best and its use with adolescents is as yet unsupported. Pragmatic concerns are noted, along with recommendations for further research."

Gender Role Reversal and the Violated Lesbian Body: Toward a Feminist Hermeneutic of Lesbian Sadomasochism
In: Journal of Lesbian Studies, Vol. 3, No. 3, 1999, pp. 61-72
Abstract: "The lesbian sadomasochist exists in the feminist community as doubly other. If she is addressed at all in feminist discourses, she is often accused of wielding the weapons of patriarchy (violence, danger, fear) against all that feminism is. In what follows I will construct a theoretical framework which suggests that lesbian sadomasochism is not antithetical to feminism. In fact, lesbian sadomasochism is, on numerous levels, a response to those things deemed damaging to women."

Psychopathia Sexualis - A Clinical-Forensic Study
Publisher: Bloat Books, Burbank
Abstract: "Translated from the 12th and final German edition in 1906, a reissue of the 1886 pioneering study in sexology, presenting 238 case histories detailing a wide range of sexual perversion. Also includes an appendix of additional, previously excised case histories; an essay by Krafft-Ebing (1840-1902) on homicidal menstrual psychosis; and an introduction by King."
"This new edition is based on earlier American editions of Psychopathia sexualis: the translation of the seventh German edition by Charles Gilbert Chaddock published in 1893 and that of the twelfth German edition by F.J. Rebman, which appeared in 1906. These two editions contain many flaws. King states in his introduction that he and his associate editor have checked, corrected, and revised the older translations. Yet after checking King's edition against the original German texts, it turns out that, unfortunately, many passages are still inaccurate or incomplete, and sometimes even incorrect."

Sex Radical Communities and the Future of Sexual Ethics
In: Journal of Lesbian Studies, Vol. 3, No. 3, 1999, pp. 133-142
Abstract: "Many urban-based gay male, lesbian, and mixed-gender sexually radical communities (such as leather an/or S/M groups) portray their interests in sexuality in terms of arousal and pleasure. The writings of many gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and queers involved in such communities suggest that sexual pleasure is based on individual preference, and that all sexual activities need only the consent of participating individuals to render those activities moral and good. Thus, as long as people consent, a wide variety of practices can be authorized in this system, such as non-monogamy, group sex, anonymous sex, domination, etc. In this paper, I will suggest that something much more radical is happening in these communities, that "individual preference" and "consent"- although present - are perhaps not the most interesting way to describe what is happening here. Rather, I will explore the possibility that these sex groups are in the process of providing for use a new kind of ethic based not on individuality, but rather based on community."

Sexual Behaviour and Social Adaptation Among Sadomasochistically-Oriented Males
Abstract: The present study explored the sexual behavior and social adaptation of a sample of male sadomasochists. A total of 164 men who were members of two sadomasochistically-oriented clubs participated in the study. The numbers of heterosexual male and gay male participants were about equal. A semi-structured questionnaire containing items related to social, sexual, and psychological aspects of the participants' lives was used. The results showed that the participants were socially well-adjusted and that sadomasochistic behavior was mainly a facilitative aspect of their sexual lives, most participants being flexible in both sexual activities and sadomasochistic role-taking. Sadists were more likely to be younger and more sexually active than masochists.

Human sexuality and its diagnosis
In: Scandinavian Journal of Sexology, Vol. 2, No. 4, 1999, pp. 203-206
Abstract: "Focuses on the contradictory development of research and literary trends on a group of paraphilias during the last decade. One trend is that of scientests and other health professionals who have placed the group of paraphilias in a spectrum of obsessive-compulsive-related disorders and treat them with serotonergic drugs. The other trend is the rise of queer politics, which seeks to include other sexual practices that deviate from present conventional or normalized gender, sexual, and intimate norms. Some of the subcategorizes of paraphilias are included in this normalization process, including consensual adult practices like sadism/masochism, multiple partner sex, or nonmarital, noncohabitating forms of "family." The author discusses paraphilias in the context of Mental Disorders-IV (DSM-IV), the contradictory development in the study of paraphilias, and the lack of communication between the two groups. The author argues that scientific ignorance has led to the pathologization of other healthy groups of people, like individuals practicing fetishism or transvestite fetishism. Queer politics, however, wants to include sexual practices that deviate from present norms; in essence, this politics focuses on sexual health and normality which may have an influence on general health."

'Without Contraries Is No Progression': S/M, Binary Thinking, and the Lesbian Purity Test
Abstract: "Some lesbians subject other queer women to a type of purity test, stereotyping bisexuals, transsexuals and leatherwomen as threats to the lesbian and feminist movements. Such attitudes frequently reveal rigid, binary, either-or-thinking and an intolerance of difference. This essay, by contrast, argues in favor of an embrace of diversity within the queer women's community and examines the way bisexuals, transsexuals, and leatherwomen exhibit a resistance to binary thinking and a 'tolerance of ambiguity.'"

Sexual imagery of physically disabled women: Erotic? Perverse? Sexist?

Abstract: "Focused on still photographs of physically disabled women who have involved themselves in erotica and pornography as sex workers, entrepreneurs, and relationship seekers. For future research, it offers preliminary questions from a disabled feminist pro-sex analysis of what some define as erotic, but others term fetishistic, perverse, sexist, and even exploitative."

Abstract: From the chapter: "Sexual dysfunctions and disorders are highly prevalent conditions that are influenced by multiple etiological factors, including biological, social, and cultural determinants. The sexual dysfunctions in both sexes are categorized according to a 4-stage model of sexual response. Sexual dysfunction in both sexes are frequently associated with a high level of individual or relationship distress. (...) The major categories of paraphilia reviewed in this chapter are exhibitionism, fetishism, frotteurism, pedophilia, sexual masochism, sexual sadism, voyeurism, and transvestic fetishism."

Alcohol's possible covert role: brain dysfunction, paraphilias, and sexually aggressive behaviors.
In: Sex Abuse, Vol. 11, No. 2, 1999, pp. 147-158
Abstract: "A number of studies have suggested a relationship between sexually anomalous behavior and brain dysfunction. However, in most cases, the etiology of this dysfunction remains elusive. In this paper, alcohol exposure in utero (fetal alcohol syndrome) is offered as one possible explanation for the neurophysiological abnormalities that appear to characterize a notable proportion of individuals within the paraphilic and sexually aggressive populations. It is noteworthy that the teratogenic effects of alcohol upon humans and animals often leads to a number of the behavioral and physiological abnormalities exhibited by some of these individuals."

Fuel Up With a Culinary Tour!
The Central Coast is an area rich with agriculture, seafood and wineries. Numerous microclimates give rise to everything from wine grapes to apple orchards. Some of the finest chefs in California and the world make their home here, filling the area's restaurants with handcrafted specialties that are both internationally inspired and reflective of the local region.
Be sure to arrive with time for a day or night to devote to the full culinary tour of the region. A true tour wouldn't be complete without stops in Pismo Beach to sample some laid-back beach food, Morro Bay for fresh-from-the-boat seafood, San Luis Obispo for an eclectic mix of cuisine in a vibrant downtown setting, and Paso Robles for delectable country fare with a cattle ranch atmosphere. If you have the time, you can even head a bit farther south to get your hands on some famous Santa Maria barbecue. Each town is renowned for its specialties that are grown and prepared locally, and each has its own charming flavor and vibe.

Q: Semop: When decreasing a set of semaphores are all decremented at once or does it block on first failure? So if I have a semaphore set semid with num_of_sems semaphores and a sembuf *deleter_searchers_down
struct sembuf *deleter_searchers_down
                        = malloc(sizeof (*deleter_searchers_down) * num_of_sems);
for (i = 0; i < num_of_sems; ++i) {
            (deleter_searchers_down + i)->sem_op = -1;
            (deleter_searchers_down + i)->sem_num = i;
            (deleter_searchers_down + i)->sem_flg = SEM_UNDO;
        }
semop(semid, deleter_searchers_down, num_of_sems);

The call to semop will attempt to lower all semaphores in the set at once or will it block once it attempts to lower the first semaphore that is 0 and continue after some other process ups that particular semaphore?

A: No updates happen until all updates can proceed as a unit.
The POSIX specification could be clearer about this point, although it does say that semop is atomic.
On Linux, semop(3) in glibc is a simple wrapper around semop(2).  The semop(2) manpage in turn says

The set of operations contained in sops is performed in array order, and atomically, that is, the operations are performed either as a complete unit, or not at all.

The HP-UX semop(2) manpage is even clearer:

Semaphore
        array operations are atomic in that none of the semaphore operations
        are performed until blocking conditions on all of the semaphores in
        the array have been removed.

New Evidence of Campaign Payments for 'Command Center' Wrecks Trump's Executive Privilege Claim
In a fervent attempt to keep his post-election activities secret, Donald Trump filed a lawsuit weeks ago, requesting a court-ordered injunction based on executive privilege. Trump sought to protect himself and his closest confidantes from the House Select Committee's investigation into his post-election actions, and January 6th in particular. The executive privilege claim underlying that lawsuit took a big blow on Tuesday when it was revealed that the Trump campaign itself paid significant expenses run-up by Bernard Kerik and Rudy Giuliani within his "command center" in the Willard Hotel near the White House.
According to the Washington Post, Kerik and Rudy Giuliani spent much of November and December 2020 frantically traveling the country searching for evidence of election fraud, then reconnoitering back at the lovely and costly Willard Hotel, two blocks from the White House. Kerik – rightly – worried about whether he would ever be reimbursed for his expenses. According to the Post:
The bills went unpaid until after Fox News personality Jeanine Pirro went to bat on their behalf, according to a Republican official, who like some others interviewed for this article spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations. Soon after, the campaign cut Kerik a check — with Trump's approval, according to a former senior campaign official.
That move, in mid-December, smoothed the way for what would eventually be more than $225,000 in campaign payments to firms owned by Kerik and Giuliani — including more than $50,000 for rooms and suites at the posh Willard hotel in Washington that served as a "command center" for efforts to deny Biden the presidency in the days leading up to the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6.
The payment itself evidences nothing more than reality. Trump's assertion of executive privilege isn't some magnanimous or principled stand on behalf of the executive Article II branch. When one is doing honest government work utilizing government personnel to further some sort of legitimate government concern, one doesn't cover the expenses with campaign cash. The executive privilege claims look to be nothing more than an all-too-typical Trump attempt to keep his real life and activities secret.
The new finding is an even bigger problem for Trump because the people who received the money happen to be of the Committee's principal targets. The committee members look to be honing in on the material and testimony needed.
The requests specifically name dozens of people, including Kerik, Giuliani and others who were present in the Willard command center, such as former White House strategic adviser Stephen K. Bannon and legal scholar John Eastman. Eastman wrote two memos, laying out legal arguments for Vice President Mike Pence to either reject Biden's electoral votes on Jan. 6 or delay certifying the results so that states could conduct further investigations.
Legitimate claims for an injunction based upon privilege are, by necessity, a balancing test between the competing values. Courts evaluate the need to get at the truth versus the need to promote free and frank communication within certain contexts, this one being the executive branch. The fact that the campaign ended up paying for what the Trump team called "the command center" weighs like a lead brick on the scale. Entire treatises have been written on the need and means to keep campaign activities (and especially money) separate from legitimate government functions.
But one doesn't need a treatise to understand that if the campaign is paying for Kerik and Giuliani's whirlwind tour, they were not performing some sort of executive function. This was personal to Trump. Trump, in his role as a candidate, personally paid. And executive privilege doesn't apply to a person, it applies to an office.
The Trump campaign just handed the select committee evidence that is far more valuable than the six-figure check.

Fire crews from Clitheroe dealt with the blaze.
Fire crews were called out to a blaze in a laundry room in the early hours of this morning.
The fire, which started shortly after 2am, had developed in a laundry room at commercial premises at Sawley Old Brow, Sawley.
When the crews from Clitheroe arrived they found the fire involved a laundry room measuring 3m by 3m.
Four firefighters wore breathing apparatus and used a hose reel and ventilation units to extinguish the fire and clear the property of smoke.
The blaze caused severe fire damage to some of the laundry and some smoke damage to the room of origin and an additional three rooms.


I'm still a kid at heart. I actually love most foods that children like. Hot dogs and corn dogs are one of those foods that children often like. I have actually loved hot dogs since I was a young child. To be honest hot dogs were one of the few things that I actually ate when I was young. My poor mom would have to go to special places to find foods that I would actually eat. Well these little corn dogs are definitely something I would have and still enjoy eating. I love that they are baked. It make these a little healthier.
Combine butter and sugar in a medium mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Add egg and whisk to incorporate. Add the buttermilk and whisk to incorporate.
In a separate bowl, combine baking soda, cornmeal, flour, and salt, and stir to combine. Slowly whisk into the wet ingredients.
Spray a mini muffin tin with non-stick spray, and spoon 1 Tablespoon of batter into each mini muffin cup. Place one hot dog bite into the middle of each cup.
Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until cornbread is golden brown. Cool in mini muffin tin for 5 minutes before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator, and re-heat for 20-30 seconds before serving.


Nothing is as it seems, but THIS is…and how you'll be able to tell the difference.
We've all thought this at one time or another. Until we see behind the curtain of the ones that seemingly have it "all figured out," and we realize that perhaps they don't.
Second, who are "they" anyway?
Seriously, have you ever asked yourself this?
If not, then I'm asking you right here and now.
Where in your life have you been comparing your life and experiences to someone else's?
Write it down. Draw a line through it, and write: I choose to DISCOVER.

Windgate Gallery to display The Faces of Syrian Refugees photo exhibit
The Faces of Syrian Refugees, a photographic exhibition by Michael Cohen depicting intimate portraits of resettled Syrian refugees, will be on display at UA-PTC Windgate Gallery Jan. 13 – April 4, 2020, at The Center for Humanities and Arts (CHARTS) at University of Arkansas Pulaski Technical College, 3000 W. Scenic Drive, in North Little Rock, Ark.
An opening night program and reception with Lena Albeik, a Syrian immigrant and teacher, will be held on Friday, Jan. 24, 6 - 8 p.m., in the CHARTS lobby.
Music will be provided by Finger Food, featuring acoustic guitarists Steve Davison and Micky Rigby. The reception and exhibit are both free and fully accessible to the public.
About The Faces of Syrian Refugees
After a 25-year hiatus, Michael Cohen decided to return to the world of photography with a deep seeded need to use his camera as a tool to contribute to his community.
In 2013, he ran an ad in a non-profit journal offering his services to help organizations tell their story through photography. Michael worked with a dozen non-profits in fields ranging from education to felon rehabilitation to inner city youth. During this time, Michael Cohen watched with horror as the Syrian war escalated and the refugee crisis reached unimaginable proportions.
"After seeing a presentation about a Syrian refugee camp in Jordan, it hit me. What do we really know about Syrian refugees?" Michael recalled. "Sure, we see them trying to flee a war torn country and we see the despair in their eyes. But so many people are unwilling to allow Syrian refugees to resettle in their country."
An idea formed, to travel and meet successfully resettled Syrian refugees, photograph and interview them.
Since the war began in 2011, millions of Syrians have been displaced from their homes, and their country. You've already seen some of the tragic images of Syrians desperate to get out. What you haven't seen is what happened next.
The Faces of Syrian Refugees profiles twenty Syrians who fled their war-torn homeland and resettled in new countries in Europe and North America. They have new homes and are building new lives. They come from all walks of life and now are engaged in everything from teaching art classes to museum docents to conducting a Syrian expat orchestra. The untold story of the Syrian refugee crisis unfolds before your eyes as you walk through The Faces of Syrian Refugees.
The exhibition consists of 20 subjects, exhibited as life sized tri-fold panels with color portraits and Proust Questionnaire style interviews that offer an intimate visit with a Syrian refugee. Each tri-fold panel features one refugee. The Faces of Syrian Refugees is organized by art2art Circulating Exhibitions.
Windgate Gallery hours are 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 10 a.m.-5 p.m. on Fridays; and 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturdays. Admission is free and open to the public.
For more information, contact Windgate Gallery and CHARTS Theater Coordinator Debra Wood at (501) 812-2715 or [email protected].

Russian Vodka Confuses Pargo, Resigns With Old Team
Jannero Pargo has returned to the NBA after spending a season with Dynamo Moscow. He has signed a one-year contract with the Chicago Bulls for $2 million.
Pargo's last stint with the Bulls lasted three seasons. He played 102 games, while averaging 6.4 points, 2.1 assists and shooting 39% from the field overall. He really didn't have a huge role on the Bulls. He would seldom play more than 20 minutes as he averaged 14.2 minutes per game during those three seasons.
He went on and played two seasons with the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets. After that stretch, he must have felt that he deserved more than what was being offered to him so he jumped the pond to Russia.
Pargo is a very one-dimensional player. His numbers per 36 minutes are almost identical throughout the years. If he's out on the court for 36 minutes, he'll give you 15.2 points but will jack up 15 shots.
Some media outlets are calling him Ben Gordon light, which I don't exactly agree with. Both are undersized gunners best suited to play 2 guard. Neither can play a lick of defense. Pargo's a little more careful with the ball than Gordon is but not by much. Pargo's career assist-to-turnover ratio is 1.74 per 36 minutes while Gordon's is 1.21. But Gordon is a much more efficient scorer with a 55.4% true shooting percentage (which accounts for 2-pointers, 3-pointers and free throws), Pargo comes in at 47.8%.
So both are looking to jack up shots but the results are much different. Plus, Pargo does not command defenders' respect like Gordon does. And that makes a huge difference in the gameplanning process.
Given the Bulls' current roster, I'm perplexed by why they would throw $2 million to add another undersized guard. And this one can't even guard larger players like Kirk Hinrich can.
The inherent problem with having Ben Gordon on the Bulls was that he was a nightmare on defense. The Bulls would basically concede points with Gordon on D, although they would try to mask his deficiency by putting him on the opposing point guard.
I assume that Hinrich (if they keep him), will keep most of the backup PG duties. Pargo simply does not have the playmaking prowess of an NBA point guard. So if Pargo gets into the rotation, he will pose all the same problems that Gordon did. If he is paired with Derrick Rose, Pargo cannot adequately defend 2 guards without becoming a huge liability. So the only backcourt pairing that's adequate defensively is when Rose is off the floor — Pargo on the PG, Hinrich on the SG.
Isn't this defensive liability Joe Dumars' problem now?

Gunnin' Gordon
I'm going to tell you something that you might not know:
It's Ben Gordon's contract year.
But shhh!, don't tell anyone. Ben doesn't know that we're on to him.
The guy's a gunner. He scores and he doesn't do too much else. And that's fine but is it too much to ask him to make an extra pass to the open man?
If Ben gets an outlet pass, he acts as if Derrick Rose isn't in the building and he brings the ball up himself. His favorite play seems to be where Drew Gooden sets a pick at the free-throw line extended so that Ben can drive floorside. He then forces up a shot at the freethrow line regardless of how many hands are in his face.
Ben, along with Rose, leads the Chicago Bulls in field goal attempts at about 15.5 shots per game. He's hitting them at a very good 48.5% clip. Clearly, he's their number one option with Luol Deng hurt. And although his attempts are up from last year's 14.9 FGA, he's also playing three more minutes.
So I can't get too down on Ben but is it too much to ask for two passes per possession?
Vinny Del Negro admitted that there isn't much offensive variety in his playbook. Vinny wants to make it simple for a rookie point guard by streamlining plays. But the Bulls' offense gets so stagnant at times. They don't make the defense move and their offensive tendencies are plainer than Pam from The Office.
Wouldn't you get bored forcing the same shot over and over again?

Gordon Signing Means Nothing
Gentle Ben becomes Negotiator Ben
Some Chicago fans are breathing a sigh of relief. As a restricted free agent, Ben Gordon has signed a $6.4 million deal to stay under contract for the next year. What a relief, right? The team can finally focus on improving and making noise in the playoffs, right? Wrong.
Ben Gordon's recent signing means absolutely nothing.
It does not mean that Ben Gordon wants to be in Chicago. Towards the end of last season, Gordon was itching to leave the Windy City. He was offended that the Bulls didn't give him "Luol Deng treatment." His logic went: I led the team in scoring so why shouldn't I get as much or more than Luol?
The Bulls value Deng more than they value Gordon. And nothing has changed since the end of last season.
Gordon tested the free agent waters and found that teams were not willing to sign him. They didn't want to overpay for someone who can only hit jumpshots.
Guess what? This signing doesn't even mean that the Bulls want Gordon. If there's one thing that John Paxson has proven as a GM, it's that he loads up on assets.
Ben Gordon, for all his deficiencies, is still an asset. A productive scorer with an expiring contract will always be an asset — if not more because of the latter attribute than the former.
Contrary to public opinion, I think this deal is a clear indication that the Chicago Bulls have good leverage over Gordon. Even though unrestricted free agency means Gordon can sign with any team, will any team sign him? The Bulls simply have more options than Gordon at this point because of how the negotiations went down.
They can package Gordon as solid player with an expiring contract. If another team is in need of a scorer or shooter, talk to the Bulls. They've got a certain 6'3″ guard that you can try out for a year with no strings attached!
On the other hand, Gordon went out and brusquely said that he didn't expect to be in Chicago this season. He thought that other teams were willing to pay top dollar for his services. He thought they would snatch him up like middle schoolers snatched Tamagachi's in the late 1990's. And he was wrong.
Sadly, this looks like one of those instances where a player refuses to sign a fair offer from their original team to disastrous results. Instead of taking a nice, safe deal, the player and his agent try to negotiate for the best possible offer and talking comes to a halt. The player is insulted and makes a somewhat-offhand disparaging remark on the state of negotiations which pretty much deafens the silence.
Interest from other teams was either not as enthusiastic as expected by the player or they were not at a compensation level he finds acceptable. So instead of leveraging a fair-to-good deal with the Bulls into a great deal with another team, Gordon played his "I'm not coming back to Chicago" hand way too soon.
I like Ben Gordon and I hope it works out for him but I doubt he'll be in Chicago past this season's trade deadline. And unless he overperforms this season, the best offer he'll get won't be as good as what the Bulls were willing to shell out.
Which, by the way, was a six-year contract worth roughly $58 million dollars. Gordon's camp rejected it throughout the offseason and for the last time before training camp hit.

Raach ist ein Ortsteil des Bezirks Gösting der steirischen Landeshauptstadt Graz. Der Ort bildet die nördlichste Grazer Siedlung am rechten Murufer und hat 420 Einwohner (Stand: 2013).

Geographie
Raach liegt auf rund  im Mittleren Murtal, einem epigenetischen Durchbruchstal, im Bezirk Gösting. Es bildet die nördlichste Siedlung am rechten Murufer und somit der westlichen Grazer Stadthälfte. Im Westen und Süden wird der Ort vom Raacher Kogel und vom Göstinger Ruinenberg () überragt, was die effektiv mögliche Sonnenscheindauer bedeutend einschränkt. Die Erhebungen sind aus devonischen Kalken und Dolomiten aufgebaut und gehören zum Grazer Paläozoikum. Der Prallhang der Raachleiten ist durch mehrere kleine Gräben gegliedert, die im Übergang zum Talboden jeweils flache Kegel ausgebildet haben. Diese vereinigen sich zu einer Hangfußschleppe aus Löss und Hangschutt, auf der die Siedlung Raach Platz findet. Im Hangschutt entspringen zwei Karstquellen, die die Wasserversorgung des Ortes zusammen mit einem Brunnen sichern. Nach wie vor ist Raach nicht an das Wassernetz der Stadt Graz angeschlossen.

Klimatopisch befinden sich Raach und die Raachleiten in der Zone des nächtlichen Murtalabwindes. Am südlichen Ortsende, das von defizitärer Besonnung geprägt ist, kann es bereits zu Düseneffekten kommen.

Geschichte

Raach war slawisches Siedlungsgebiet und wurde ab 1486/87 Am Rachperg (später Rach, siehe z. B. Franziszeischer Kataster) genannt. Bis ins 20. Jahrhundert gehörte die damals landwirtschaftlich dominierte Ortschaft zur Pfarre Gratwein und fiel anschließend an die Gemeinde Gösting, die 1938 nach Graz eingemeindet wurde. Aufgrund der Nähe zum Murufer kam es in der Vergangenheit oft zu großflächigen Überschwemmungen, so etwa im Jahr 1938.

1945 kam es zur Errichtung einer Barackenkirche, die 1964 als Christkönigskirche in modernem Baustil eingeweiht wurde. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg fand man in Raach zwei Gräber mit jeweils zwei Toten. Es handelte sich um ungarisch-jüdische Zwangsarbeiter, die im Zuge eines Todesmarsches von Graz in den Gau Oberdonau ermordet worden waren. 1951 wurde ein ortseigenes Kriegerdenkmal errichtet. In der Folge gründete sich der Kameradschaftsbund Raach-Gösting, den laut eigenen Angaben 25 Prozent der Ortsbevölkerung unterstützen.

Wirtschaft und Infrastruktur
 Aufgrund seiner topographischen Lage wirkt Raach nicht wie ein Teil von Graz und wird oft für einen Teil von Judendorf-Straßengel gehalten. Im Ort befinden sich neben der Kirche, eine Volksschule und eine Hundeschule sowie ein Eisstockverein (ESV Raach). Abgesehen von ein paar Kleinbetrieben handelt es sich größtenteils um eine Wohnsiedlung mit eingeschränkter Funktionalität. Der Flächenwidmungsplan 4.0 der Stadt Graz weist neben landwirtschaftlichen Flächen und Gewerbegebiet im Norden noch einige freie Baugrundstücke aus.

Verkehrstechnisch ist Raach über die L302 erreichbar, die Graz-Gösting und Judendorf miteinander verbindet. Über sie führen die Buslinien der Verbund Linie 120, 121 sowie 131. Die Pyhrn Autobahn (A 9) tangiert den Ort ostseitig, die hier gelegenen Zu- und Abfahrten sind jedoch auf den Grazer Verkehr ausgerichtet und für Raach unerheblich. Südöstlich des Ortszentrums liegt das Nordportal des Plabutschtunnels, unmittelbar darüber thronen zwei auffällige Lüftungsbauten aus Sicht- und Spritzbeton von Architekt Eilfried Huth, die aufgrund ihres Aussehens auch Grüne Elefanten genannt werden. Am nördlichen Ortsende befindet sich die Straßenmeisterei Graz-Nord. Ebenfalls ostseitig am Ort vorbei verläuft die Trasse der Eisenbahn Richtung Bruck an der Mur. Eine Initiative für eine S-Bahn-Station scheiterte 2013 seitens der ÖBB aufgrund zu geringen Kundenpotenzials.

Durch Raach führt die rechtsufrige Variante des Murradweges, die auch für Mopeds freigegeben ist. Aufgrund des Verlaufs unter dem Jungfernsprung war diese bis zur Errichtung von Fangnetzen im Jahr 2005 durch Steinschläge gefährdet.

Every couple of months, a top Russian leader makes a bold proclamation: We're back. We've got a new SSBN, we're going to build a new fleet of aircraft carriers, we've got new tactical aircraft so stealthy one just landed on the White House lawn. Accordingly, the headlines crackle all over the world: Cold War II! Russia Vows Major Arms Buildup In Challenge to West! The Bear Has Returned!
Officers were under instruction to recruit as many new volunteers as possible. Mr. Fetisov says they resorted to an unusual recruiting technique: Nearly every night at 11 that first winter, conscripts were mustered on the parade ground and made to stand in formation for hours, facing superiors who sometimes were drunk.
"Finally an officer would say, 'Those willing to sign contracts, you're dismissed. The rest of you, stay at attention,'" Mr. Fetisov recalls. "A personnel officer would tell stories about the great treatment contract soldiers get. They had to stand there in the cold until at least two or three men agreed to sign," Mr. Fetisov says. "This went on for weeks, but they never got 100%" of the regiment on contract.
The Journal's report isn't the first to detail the decrepit state of today's Russian military, but it is the latest that does not connect the reality of the Russian military with the Bear Is Back effect it regularly has in Washington and other capitals. Before the J-20 sucked all the oxygen out of the foreign-fighter department, remember how people freaked out about the debut of the T-50? The term "Raptorski' was coined -- though rejected by Bill Sweetman -- and people began to worry about the T-50's "stealthogenic" active cloaking system, which could supposedly render the jet undetectable by ejecting "plasma" over its skin. Observers were worried about revolutionary, Star Trek-level capabilities from a military that still relies on creaky old Soviet equipment. There's no reason not to take Russia seriously, but there is every reason to at least treat it realistically.
It's kind of poignant, in a way, that so many people in Washington and around the world continue to have such respect for Russian military might. Russia is a potential adversary we know very well, and which reminds us of a time that was as dangerous as our own, or more, but which at least was a little simpler to understand.


JONESBORO, Ark. – The driver of a semi-truck in Jonesboro died Tuesday evening after an accident with a train.
At 8:15 PM Tuesday, March 19, Jonesboro Police, Craighead County Sheriff's Department, OEM and Jonesboro Fire responded to the scene of a train/ semi accident in south Jonesboro.
Dispatch was notified of the wreck that occurred at the 5300 block of east Nettleton. The semi-tractor-trailer appeared to be traveling south on Nettleton. JPD said it then tried to make a left hand turn on Nestle Road when it was struck by a Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) train, traveling south.
The driver of the semi was killed in the accident.
The daughter of the accident asked that anyone who witnessed the accident come forward. If you have, please contact NEA Report on Facebook.
NEA Report is in touch with the family, offering legal and emotional support as we can.


I absolutely love the training that I do now…the Pilates moves that I can do, the weights that I can lift and pull and push, the cardio work that I can endure…40 minutes on the rowing machine today! 🙂 But sometimes, just sometimes, I get a bit frustrated.
Life as a part-time blogger can be interesting at times…and also awkward.

Q: Dynamic Analysis of PHP Web Applications to identify work flow deviations I am trying to learn on Web Application security. I worked with tools that do static Analysis like RIPS, Pixy. Also did profiling of web-applications using xdebug and kcachegrind. Now I am trying to research more on Dynamic Analysis. I would like to identify work flow deviations from call graphs generated during profiling. Is it possible to do such an analysis??
If so can you suggest me any references or tools that achieve this?

A: There are some projects/papers addressing this need:

*

*PHP Vulnerability Hunter

*PHP Analyzer

*Static and Dynamic Analysis for PHP
Security (pdf)

The third item is an academic presentation from 2006, so it may be a little out of date while the first resource seems the most mature DA testing tool I've seen.  You might also look into the Monte Carlo Method as a way of throwing arbitrary input at a system to test its robustness, particular if you deal with numerical or statistical data.

A: There is one free tool, Paros - for web application security assessment
Its not too complicated, easy to work with.


Sonata No. 3 for Great Bass Recorder and Piano was written in 1993, the last year of Burgess's life. Inspired by the interest of his son Andrea in wind instruments, this sonata is part of a series of works for the instrument, which is more usually found as part of a larger recorder group, Burgess treated the great bass recorder rather like a bassoon and attempted to explore its full range of notes and expression. This sonata combines various musical styles and offers enjoyable challenges to intermediate players.

Best practice guide for health claims

Introduction to the BACCHUS best practice guide for health claims
The best practice guide for health claims was developed as part of the European Union-funded BACCHUS project (Grant Agreement No. 312090).
The main objective of BACCHUS is to develop tools and resources to facilitate the generation of robust and exploitable scientific evidence that can be used to support claims of a cause and effect relationship between consumption of bioactive peptides and polyphenols, and beneficial physiological effects related to cardiovascular health in humans.
This guide was developed to provide information about the European Regulation on Nutrition and Health Claims as well as other relevant regulations, and also to provide specific insights into the areas relevant to BACCHUS, specifically health claims on polyphenols, bioactive peptides and cardiovascular health.
This is the second issue of the guide, the first issue having been circulated to just BACCHUS partners. This issue was drafted in spring/ summer 2015, in consultation with BACCHUS partners with the aim to provide an update to the first issue as well as restructuring the guide. Additional information has been added on novel foods regulation, proprietary data and proprietary health claims, and the effect of the regulation on SMEs. In addition, updates are provided for recent health claims opinions on polyphenols and bioactive peptides and developments in related regulations.
The document has also been re-structured, taking on board feedback from BACCHUS SME partners, and is now presented in two parts: Part I contains information that relates to the topic of health claims in general while Part II covers areas that specifically relate to BACCHUS, i.e. claims related to polyphenols, bioactive peptides and cardiovascular disease.
The guide focuses on official regulations and guidance documents from the European Commission (EC) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) as well as looking at the outcomes of assessments of relevant claims applications by EFSA and subsequent approval or rejection by the EC. This version of the guide also contains a health claims template, which summarises the information needed for a dossier and is intended to help provide a first step in collating the information required to prepare a health claims dossier.

UGA professor banned from campus in wake of federal investigation
Wayne Ford @WayneFo12126079
A University of Georgia professor of political science has resigned his job apparently in the wake of a federal investigation.
UGA spokesman Greg Trevor said Jamie Monogan "has submitted his resignation, which the university has accepted. He is not permitted on campus and is relieved of his duties."
Monogan, who worked in the school of Public and International Affairs, resigned earlier this week.
The reason Monogan was being investigated by Homeland Security has not been released.
A spokesman for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Friday that Monogan is still under investigation by Homeland Security. Details will be released at a later date, he said.
Monogan began working at UGA in 2011, where his teaching focused on political methodology and American political behavior, according to information noted on the jacket of a book he authored.

Experts in helping you find the right floor for you!
After years of carpet in our dining room, we decided to pull it up and put down hardwood. The complicating factor was that we already had hardwood in the foyer and staircase, which adjoins the dining room, and wanted to try to match the wood color. We asked McGrath's to send us a sample of butterscotch and it turned out to be a great match. We did not install but used a man with years of flooring installation experience you recommended. We absolutely love our new floor. We also liked the 30 year warranty.
After reading your blog, you provided such a thorough and often times humorous account of the hardwood flooring buying process. I was laughing so hard by the time I was done I knew I was going to buy from you.
Mike Loper from right here in Nashville, TN 3,200 SQFT of Hickory Hardwood.
After our house was flooded by Hurricane Sandy, we had several months to find the perfect floor and this is it. Every single person that we invite into our home immediately comments on how much they like the floors. The rich dark brown color, wide planks, and the grain of the wood gave us the exact look we were hoping for. They make our white trim and colorful walls pop. They are durable and easy to clean. Couldn't be happier. We love our floors!

L'Incidente del Fairchild F-27 di Turkish Airlines del 1962 si verificò l'8 marzo 1962 alle 17:43 ora locale (15:43 UTC) quando un aereo di linea Fairchild F27 della Turkish Airlines, codice di registrazione TC-KOP, lungo un volo interno dall'aeroporto di Esenboğa (ESB/ LTAC) ad Ankara per l'aeroporto di Adana (ADA/LTAF), volò contro le montagne Bolkar durante l'avvicinamento prima dell'atterraggio.

L'aereo
L'aereo, un Fairchild F-27 con due motori turboelica Rolls-Royce Dart, era stato prodotto dalla Fairchild Hiller con il numero di serie del produttore 83, e compì il suo primo volo nel 1960. Aveva dunque appena due anni.

Equipaggio e i passeggeri
L'aereo aveva a bordo tre membri dell'equipaggio e otto passeggeri. Non se ne salvò nessuno.

L'incidente
L'F27 della Turkish Airlines partì dall'aeroporto di Esenboğa alle 16:20 EET (14:20 UTC) per un volo in direzione di Adana. Il pilota in comando riferì di aver superato Aksaray e stimò di arrivare ad Adana per le 17:40 ora locale. Alle 17:28 il pilota riferì di essere al livello di volo 175 e richiese il permesso di avvicinamento. Alle 17:40 il volo era a 5.000 piedi (1.500 m) e il controllore di avvicinamento gli comunicò di segnalare l'attraversamento a quota 8.000 piedi (2.400 m) e 7.000 piedi (2.100 m). Dal Fairchild non si sentì più nulla. Sembrava che il velivolo si fosse schiantato a 6.800 piedi (2.100 m) AMSL circa 76 km (47 miglia) dalla portata radio di Adana sui monti Bolkar della parte sudest della catena montuosa Taurus.

La probabile causa dell'incidente era che il pilota non fu in grado di tenere traccia della sua posizione esatta o di mantenere l'altitudine esatta per evitare cumuli e condizioni turbolente ad essi associate.

Q: LibGDX how to scale images for every device My code is running like this:
public class MainMenuOptions extends AbstractScreen {

private Texture newGameButton;
private Texture exitGameButton;
private Texture highScoresButton;
private Texture background;

public MainMenuOptions(FallingPeopleMain game) {
    super(game);
    init();
}

 private void init() {
    newGameButton = new Texture("newGameButton.jpg");
     exitGameButton = new Texture("exitGameButton.jpg");
     highScoresButton = new Texture("highScoresGameButton.jpg");
     background = new Texture("BG.png");

}

@Override
public void render(float delta) {
    spriteBatch.begin();
    spriteBatch.draw(background, 0, 0);
    spriteBatch.draw(newGameButton, 180, 380);
    spriteBatch.draw(highScoresButton, 180, 340);
    spriteBatch.draw(exitGameButton, 180, 300);

    spriteBatch.end();

}

}
But when i play it on my device Huawei p8 Lite its looking very crap on 40% screen device. How to scale everything for being good?
I have Width and Height declaring on main class

A: Did you set the screen orientation correctly in your manifest file? If you only want your Application to run in "standing up mode", set android:screenOrientation in your manifest equal to "portrait". If you want your application to run in "laying down mode" set it to "landscape".
Hope this helps. :)

A: @Override
public void render(float delta) {
    float widthScale = Gdx.graphics.getWidth() / originalWidth;
    float heightScale = Gdx.graphics.getHeight() / originalHeight;
    spriteBatch.begin();
    spriteBatch.draw(background, 0, 0, background.getWidth() * widthScale, background.getHeight() * heightScale);
    spriteBatch.draw(newGameButton, 180, 380, newGameButton.getWidth() * widthScale, newGameButton.getHeight() * heightScale);
    spriteBatch.draw(highScoresButton, 180, 340, highScoresButton.getWidth() * widthScale, highScoresButton.getHeight() * heightScale);
    spriteBatch.draw(exitGameButton, 180, 300, exitGameButton.getWidth() * widthScale, exitGameButton.getHeight() * heightScale);

    spriteBatch.end();

}

originalWidth and originalHeight are your desktop (development) version's width and height (even if they are the same as the actual width and height, declare them separately anyway - it will only mean the textures show in original size). The ratio between originalWidth and originalHeight must be 9:16 (720x1280 / 360x640...) or 16:9.


Yesterday, Mayor de Blasio released his $88.67 million Preliminary Budget for Fiscal Year 2019, which begins on July 1, 2018.
The Mayor explained the City's need to be fiscally prudent given budget uncertainties created by Washington, DC and Albany. The Mayor proposed new funding for Runaway and Homeless Youth Drop-in Centers, the creation of affordable housing through the new Basement Apartment Program, new anti-bullying and restorative justice programs in schools, and the expedited implementation of 3-K.
We believe that the fiscal climate we are living in bolsters the need for the administration to make additional investments to better address the needs of New York City children, youth and their families. Specifically, we are disappointed that the City's Preliminary Budget once again proposes to cut summer programs for over 34,000 middle school students; fails to take steps to address salary parity for teachers and staff in community-based early childhood programs; and would eliminate Bridging the Gap, a program that has added MSWs to schools with high rates of homeless children. Furthermore, the City proposal to add $150 million to the cost of providing shelter to homeless New Yorkers demonstrates the pressing need for the administration to take additional steps to address the well-being of children and families at-risk of homelessness and the over 27,000 children living in NYC shelters.
You can read CCC's full summary of the City's Preliminary Budget for Fiscal Year 2019.
And please stay tuned for opportunities in the coming weeks to weigh in on both the State and City budgets!


What is now Corman and Associates began in the late 1940s, when Ted's father, Dan, gained fame locally for holiday store displays he created as an employee at the downtown Wolf Wile department store.
Cormans was born when he left Wolf Wile because many of the stores along Main Street recruited him to handle their displays during the holidays and throughout the rest of the year.
In those first years, Corman took items from elsewhere and fashioned them into eye-catching displays. But the story goes that he was in the middle of a church service when he stumbled upon the idea that would give him decades of success. He headed to the city dump after the service and grabbed cardboard. What one person saw as trash, he converted into faux brick panels that were textured by gluing sawdust on to them.
"It was the start of visual merchandising," Ted Corman said.
The company gained fame nationally as it built elaborate store displays such as castles, and plenty of those first fake brick panels for malls, department stores and other major retailers.
"Dillard's was the first case where it was really obvious to me that they were moving from lots of visuals and props and displays to having a mannequin and an artificial plant," said Ted Corman, who took over the business from his father in the late 1990s. "That trend away from visuals really swept through the whole department store industry.
"As the chain stores, the Wal-Marts and Targets and all of those, started putting pressure on department stores, they had to cut budgets and do it with more merchandise presentation in mind and less 'wow' and 'aah' and 'isn't that cool.'"
Earlier this holiday season, when Saks unveiled its Christmas windows on New York's Fifth Avenue, Corman recalled how the company once made those for them.
"But those opportunities have just gotten so few and far between that we really had to start branching out and look at specialty stores and specialty industries," he said. "We needed to be woodworkers. ... The writing was on the wall that we needed to be a store fixture manufacturer and do our unique theming that could make custom looks and custom functions for people out of what would be considered normal engineering and fixtures."
Walking through Cormans today is like a trip through time. First up is the Christmas retail store. Behind that is a space devoted to common store fixtures such as size hangers and mannequins. For a time, Cormans replaced its Christmas offerings with a full retail space devoted to "all the little things that stores and retailers need," Corman said.
But the Christmas store returned this year to "go back to the traditions that we had here for the last 40 years," Corman said.
In the basement sits a growing number of Cormans' past products, everything from cardboard boats to no-longer-functioning animatronic snowmen. The company has been collecting the items from throughout its space and is preparing a small section for customers to peruse the older items.
"A lot of people don't have a budget to buy something new," Corman said, in explaining the addition.
Back upstairs, he walks over to the company's factory in a building next door but first traverses another sign of the times: a room that once housed the company's airbrush artists. Years ago, the room bustled with gifted artists decorating the various displays. But with the advent of digital printing, the work became automated.
"We used to have a lot of artists, but now we have more artisans," Corman explained, noting they make furniture-quality merchandising fixtures that are designed to ship as compactly as possible and be easily assembled.
"Not a lot of stuff is made out of foam and cardboard anymore," he said.
Instead, when you look around the factory, you see wooden shelves being assembled and painted for delivery to hotel gift shops or tables being prepped for, say, a college bookstore.
Among the company's strongest customers are the tourism and amusement industries.
Cormans "comes up with real creative ideas and solutions," said Karen Peters of Eastern National, a non-profit organization that runs educational stores at national parks throughout the Eastern United States.
At a recently completed store in Hot Springs, Ark., the organization wasn't able to punch through the floor to bring electricity to the fixtures.
"They came up with a battery-operated lighting system for each individual fixture and it's rechargeable," said Peters, the non-profit's store design manager. "We're in a very dark space, and it's just perfect."
Among Cormans' current projects with the group are gift shops at Shiloh National Military Park in Tennessee, which will soon celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War battle there, and Mammoth Cave in Kentucky.
Also closer to home is work the company has done for Maker's Mark's distillery in Loretto, where it helped the company redesign its gift shop.
"They came up with a really great Maker's Mark bottle display that's the shape of the Maker's Mark," said Sydina Bradshaw, director of visitor relations for Maker's Mark. "That was fun."
Looking forward, Corman hopes to expand the company's presence in those specialty markets, as he expects even more change in the mainstream retail world, where "the pressure from online will be too much for all of those to coexist."
"That's why we're focusing more on specialty markets," he said, "because there's an experience involved there."
Ted Corman, president of the company started by his father, stood in the company's Lexington workshop, where the year-round focus is on fixtures and displays, even though the business has a reputation for selling Christmas décor.
Travis Strange sanded a cabinet in the workshop late last month at Corman & Associates. Many people still think of Cormans as a local institution for Christmas decorations, but the company has long focused on store displays of all kinds as its main business.
