Inventing Anna Glamorously Unravels a Con on Netflix
By Allison Keene | February 9, 2022 | 9:46am

In the late 2010s, a young woman going by the name of Anna Delvey effortlessly conned New York's rich and powerful into believing she was a German heiress, defrauding both people and institutions out of vast sums of money to support her lavish lifestyle. In 2019 she was found guilty and sent to prison, but by then—thanks in large part to a New York Magazine article by Jessica Pressler detailing the case and the mysterious woman behind it—Anna was a star.
Netflix's new nine-episode miniseries Inventing Anna is based on Pressler's "How Anna Delvey Tricked New York's Party People," a viral sensation that drew the attention of prolific showrunner Shonda Rhimes, who helms this fictionalized take as part of her lucrative overall deal with the streamer. And by all accounts, Inventing Anna could be TV's next big thing—although like Anna herself, perhaps not for all the reasons it wants to be.
Inventing Anna is the perfect Shondaland series in that it is incredibly fun to watch but filled with issues. The first is star Julia Garner's divisive accent. As Anna, Garner owns this entire series—she needs us to care about her as much as those around her seem to; her Anna needs to be tough, flippant, and vulnerable in turn. And it works, except for what is—in a year of outrageous accents—a truly outrageous accent. Anna Delvey lived in Germany for many years but was actually born in Russia, so some vaguely European accent mixing is part of the story. At the same time, the result is often uncannily similar to Tommy Wiseau.
If you can get past that, though, Inventing Anna is undeniably engrossing. It's a mystery where we watch Anna Chlumsky's Vivian Kent (based on Pressler) unravel the story, first by sensing there is more to this story after Anna's arrest, then convincing her editors to back her on it, and ultimately explaining to Anna herself that she is the one who can tell it the right way. But even when Anna consents to be interviewed, she is an inscrutable figure, one who Vivian refers to her as both a scared girl and Hannibal Lecter. By all accounts, both are true.
It's also delightful to see frivolously rich people get played by someone who uses their own tricks and mores against them. Anna was able to so easily move to the pinnacle of New York society because she understood, as Vivian later reveals, that by flashing money and posturing as wealthy and unbothered, doors would open. They did. The story lays bare a damning portrait of a shallow and money-obsessed culture of elites (and those who leech off of them), while also making us wish that we were a part of it.
The series is also stocked with Shondaland regulars, from Katie Lowes as Anna's frienemy Rachel to Jeff Perry's Lou, one of three older writers who (alongside Anna Deavere Smith and Terry Kinney) are relegated to "Scriberia" at the magazine alongside Vivian, but who end up mentoring and helping her cross the finish line with her piece. There are also winking references to Anna's friendships with Fyre Festival's Billy McFarland and "Pharma Bro" Martin Shkreli, connections which give a glimpse of how many fraudsters were (and are) operating and overlapping in places of power. Evidently it's not that difficult to con greedy financiers.
All of this is great, but nevertheless Inventing Anna's hourlong runtimes (a full 60 minutes or more in length) and episode count rarely feel justified. The show begins to lose steam about halfway through, bogged down by repetitive scenes and unnecessary details while also dropping more interesting threads. Inventing Anna should be a taught thriller, but the balance is often off, especially when it shoehorns too many macro issues to Anna's story, from German prejudices against Russians to the treatment of women in the workplace. It's not subtle, and rarely works; a character earnestly saying, "I'm not going to turn a foreign woman over to the police, not in Trump's America!" is laughable when the foreign woman in question is a rich, white European who had very little to fear from anyone. Similarly, a stern admonishment over how there are no real consequences for the men who allowed their companies to be defrauded by Anna is triumphantly juxtaposed with a financial attorney being demoted from Squash Court 1 at his posh New York fitness club to Squash Court 12 (!!) The humanity!!
There is hardly a single redeeming character in Inventing Anna, and certainly no victims to feel sorry for; Anna herself is a rather brilliant and fascinating figure, but not exactly worthy of the teary devotion the show oddly pivots to in its final episodes. And while Vivian is someone who can command respect for her tenacity, the tropey "woman who doesn't care she's having a baby because she has a career" is a drag. Still, there are a few humans among the elitist vultures and wolves; Succession's Arian Moayed shines as Anna's overworked lawyer, the aforementioned Sciberia tribe is a treat, and Alexis Floyd's Neff—a film director and hotel worker who becomes part of Anna's inner circle—is charming when she's not saddled with ham-fisted dialogue.
And that's another problem. Inventing Anna doesn't seem to know what kind of statement it's making with this series. It's clear by the final episode that we are meant to see Anna as someone who was too harshly punished for what her male peers do legally every day: have a dream, over-inflate one's influence and importance, court investors, make promises that may or may not work out, and let it all fly. The perception of Anna as a socialite or heiress got her in with certain circles, but it also limited her; the assumption was that someone that into fashion and social media couldn't be very savvy. If there's one thing Inventing Anna is clear on, it's that Anna is definitely savvy.
But it doesn't change the fact that, at the end of the day, she ran up a lot of bills she couldn't pay for (and seemed to have no intention of paying for) by creating a self-fueled Ponzi scheme. True, she took advantage of a system built to forgive the wealthy nearly every transgression, but ultimately she pushed her luck and her fake wire transfers a little too far. She got caught, and whether or not you think that's fair in context feels rather beside the point. The series starts off with Vivian getting a number of different impressions of Anna from a long list of disparate people, none of which matched with any other descriptions. Ultimately, the show takes a similar tack, wanting viewers to be more interested in the journey than the destination. Who is Anna Delvey? An heiress? A folk hero? A con woman? A girl with a dream? An aspiration? An inspiration? Perhaps Anna Delvey is, and was, whoever you need her to be.
All episodes of Inventing Anna premiere Friday, February 11th on Netflix.

Multiple people hospitalized after a pickup truck crashed into the crowd in the heart of Hollywood
U.S. 50 Views
Five people were injured after a pickup truck driver crashed into a market on Hollywood Boulevard on Friday.
Los Angeles police believe the suspect fell asleep behind the wheel as a result of intoxication, according to a tweet from the Los Angeles Police Department. The man was arrested and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol.

The driver was allegedly driving on the wrong side of the road before hitting a barrier and colliding with the Hollywood Market liquor store, KTLA reports.
While three of the victims were initially reported to be in critical condition, LAPD chief Michael Moore tweeted later that night that all of the victims were in stable condition.
Two of the injured pedestrians were tourists from Washington, one of whom suffered broken ribs and a broken leg. The other was described as "moderately injured," with lacerations and abrasions, according to Moore.
This incident points to an ongoing threat that DUI poses to our safety. Update on victims: 2 tourists from Washington. One has serious injuries with broken ribs, broken leg. The other has moderate injuries with lacerations and abrasions. All victims are listed as stable at this time. https://t.co/93U5SU6Fqf
– Chief Michel Moore (@LAPDChiefMoore) March 20, 2021
Two other victims were identified as Fox 11 reporter Hal Eisner and his photographer, who were in the area to record a news segment about the El Capitan Theater reopening at the time, according to KTLA.
"It could have been any of us," Hollywood ambassador Gregg Donovan told the local news outlet. "You never know here on Hollywood Boulevard. I mean, out of nowhere, like this. I couldn't believe it, I was in shock."
According to a statement issued by the Los Angeles Fire Department, there was no damage to the structural integrity of the building, which is located on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Kobe's mentorship touched the Celtics
Two of legend's NBA Finals appearances came against the C's
GARDEN PARTY: Kobe Bryant drives past the Celtics' Isaiah Thomas during last night's game, the Lakers star's final appearance in Boston.
By Mark Murphy | Boston Herald
PUBLISHED: January 26, 2020 at 5:59 p.m. | UPDATED: January 26, 2020 at 10:44 p.m.
NEW ORLEANS — Kobe Bryant's greatest way of giving back to the NBA, especially following his 2016 retirement, was to take young players under his wing.
Jayson Tatum spent the summer of 2018 working out with Bryant in California. The jokes about Tatum's resulting shot selection aside, it's likely now one of the Celtics forward's most beloved memories.
"A lot of our guys. A lot of our guys," Brad Stevens said when asked about Tatum's relationship with Bryant.
"Again, and he broke the hearts of the Celtics many times, but there's probably not greater appreciation for him than all of us that worked for the Celtics, and certainly our fans," said Stevens. "All of our players totally looked up to him and totally admired him."
Tatum declined to talk after last night's Celtics loss to the Pelicans, choosing instead to be alone in his grieving for a special friend.
Jaylen Brown could see that his good friend was suffering.
"I just dapped him up and put my hand on his head and I didn't really have to say much," said Brown. "I know he looked up to him, he's inspired by him, got to work out with him. I know what he was probably feeling in that moment. To me, I never got the chance to shake his hand and just tell him thank you for how much he inspired me, growing up playing the game of basketball and how much he inspired many. It's tough for all of us. I know it's tough for Jayson."
Gordon Hayward, too, was once invited by Bryant to work out in Newport Beach.
"There's a lot (of memories)," said Hayward. "I was lucky enough to play against him. I took a week out and went to Newport and trained with him. I still have all the emails saved. I don't know if there's one. A lot of guys in the NBA now watched him, idolized him. So I don't know if there's just one."
'It's been tough'
Hayward, told of a Brian Scalabrine comment about his daughters now being worried about his travel with the team, was then asked if he plans to have a conversation with his three daughters.
The Celtics forward was visibly moved by the question.
"I don't think my daughters probably know what happened. That's why every time you leave you want to say goodbye. It's been tough, it's been tough," he said.
Smarting
Marcus Smart posted a picture on Twitter that is now even closer to his heart.
In it, Bryant is attempting to back the Celtics guard towards the basket as Smart tries to use his right arm as a guardrail. They appear to be touching hands.
"I couldn't guard him. No one could. He's an All-Star in Heaven too. Praying for the whole family. I'm in shock," Smart tweeted.
Bryant had this depth of impact on everyone. Per orders from the NBA, the Celtics kept their locker room closed prior to yesterday's game against the Pelicans, but on the other side of those doors were an entire cast of players who grew up at a time when Kobe Bryant was the greatest scorer in the game.
And when he retired in 2016, his true fans — his opponents — showed their true respect.
"He's one of the guys that probably broke the hearts of the Celtics more than anybody that's ever played and in his last year our guys were all sneaking around getting his shoes signed and everything else, just like everybody else, right?" said Brad Stevens. "I know a lot of our staff did, too."
Even Stevens can reach far back in his 43-year-old life for a personal Bryant story.
"It's so sad. My first memory of Kobe was, his dad recruited my best friend in high school," said the Celtics coach. "Kobe was just a kid playing open gym with him and my best friend came back and just told me, 'I just played with the best 16-year-old I ever saw.' He was right."
The Celtics do indeed have some basketball concerns, with Enes Kanter now ruled out of Tuesday's game in Miami because of a bruised hip.
On the other hand, Tatum may be ready for a return against the Heat after missing two straight games with a right groin strain.
"Jayson is pretty close to being back," said Stevens. "He'll go through some more stuff tomorrow and be day-to-day. Enes will not be in Miami and will be questionable as of now for the Golden State game (Thursday)."

Mark Martin bridges the awareness gap in his London school.
It's an approach Mark — who's known to many as @UrbanTeacher — has used in his work as a computer science teacher at the South Bank University Technical College in London, where he's renowned for his innovative, hands-on teaching style.
It's an approach that doesn't stop with the students, either. Mark is an inspiration to his peers and colleagues at South Bank and beyond. Osi Ejiofor, assistant head teacher at Southwood Primary School and founder of Osi's Tech Tips, has long noted Mark's unique approach and skill set.
While Mark understands the crucial roles technology, collaboration, and creative problem-solving skills play in the classroom, he also recognizes it's a delicate balance.
Originally, Mark studied IT networking. However, as a teaching assistant, Mark was frequently praised for his technical approach to instruction. Eventually, he reconsidered his career path and went on to pursue a master's degree in education.
Soon after graduating, Mark was put in charge of the virtual learning environment (VLE) at Phoenix High School in northwest London. Here he attacked his work with passion, though the response to his nontraditional methods was less than ideal. However, rather than abandon the new assignment, Mark tapped into his creative problem-solving skills and changed course.
"I learned very quickly that, to get young people onto the VLE, I had to make it entertaining for them," he says. "So I put a lot of the games they used to play in class on there. That was the carrot to get them into understanding the system." From there, he continued to look for new ways to engage his classes, going so far as to put videos of himself teaching on the VLE, for both students who needed a refresher and students who missed the lesson.
Mark himself practices this same collaboration in and out of the classroom. He's consistently active on the Adobe Education Exchange and Twitter. Through these platforms he's shared his unique pedagogy and the steps he's taken to create unique in-class experiences, curriculum, and more.
Recently, his "teaching routine" tweet went viral and evolved into its own initiative, My Teaching Routine. The six-step system — connect, demonstrate, activate, facilitate, collaborate, and consolidate — takes teachers and learners through different stages of a lesson. The step-by-step guide helps teachers set up activities or scenarios for increased learning potential.

Ultimately, for Mark, true success in the classroom means watching students and teachers succeed. "I like changing lives and providing students with the best opportunities," he says.
That said, the path Mark has carved out isn't always the smoothest. But he always pushes forward, knowing he's changing the education game — and his students' lives — for good.

Kim Kardashian And Kanye West Spend 500k On Gold Toilets
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have spent £500,000 on luxury gold-plated toilets to be installed in their Bel Air mansion, which is currently being renovated.
The couple – who became parents for the first time on June 15 when Kim gave birth to daughter North – have reportedly splashed out on four luxury lavatories to be installed in their £7.1 million mansion in Bel Air, Los Angeles, which is currently undergoing renovation work.
However, the couple's spending is not limited to the loo, and Kanye has also put in an order for six special-edition beds costing £114,000 each, supplied by the company that fits out rooms at London's luxurious Savoy Hotel.
The reality TV star and the rapper are also thought to be splashing out £500,000 on their kitchen including a Swarovski- encrusted fridge freezer.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "They expect the interior to cost twice as much as the property. They're spending more than a million on a security system alone."
The new parents had been living with Kim's mother-and-manager Kris Jenner but have recently found a mansion to rent while work continues on their estate.
An source said: "Kim and Kanye have finally settled on a temporary mansion for their family to move into. It should be ready for them to move in the next two weeks.
"It's over 8,000 square feet and offers complete privacy, which was a big concern of Kanye's."
'New Slaves' star Kanye moved out of his apartment in New York City to start his family life with Kim in California.

"There is none like unto Him, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing." [Soorah ash-Shooraa 42:11].
This requires having faith in the meanings of the textual wordings, as well as what is implied by them.
2 - Resemblance and denial with regards to Allaah's Names and Attributes, constitutes disbelief (kufr). As for distortion (tahreef), which the innovators call figurative interpretation (ta`weel), then some forms constitute disbelief; such as the to ta`weel of the Baatiniyyah sect, some forms constitute heresy (bid'ah); such as the false interpretations of those who deny the Attributes of Allaah, yet other forms merely fall into being mistakes.
3 - The belief in pantheism [that all existence is actually a single existence that is identified with Allaah (wahdatul-wujood), or Allaah's incarnation into anything from the creation (hulool), or Allaah's union or merging with anything from the creation (ittihaad), all constitute [that type of] disbelief which expels a person from the fold of Islaam.
4 - To have a general faith in the Noble Angels. As for detailed faith, then it is (to have faith) in what has been authentically established concerning their names, attributes and actions in accordance with one's level of knowledge.
5 - To have faith in all the Divinely-Revealed Books and that the Glorious Qur'aan is the best of them and that it abrogates all the previous Books. Faith in the fact that distortion has occurred to all the Divinely-Revealed Books before the Qur'aan, is also required. Due to this, it is obligatory to follow the Qur'aan, to the exclusion of all other previous Books.
6 - To have faith in the Prophets of Allaah and His Messengers –may Allaah extol and send blessings of peace upon them all - and that they are the best of all mankind. Whosoever claims other than this has disbelieved. It is obligatory to have faith in whosoever the authentic evidence specifies as being a Prophet or Messenger by name, as well as to have faith in all the rest in general. Faith that Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam is the best and the last of them and that Allaah sent him to the whole of mankind is also required.
7 - To believe in the termination of Revelation (wahee) after Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, and that he is the seal and the last of the Prophets and Messengers. Whosoever believes contrary to this has disbelieved.
8 - To have faith in the Last Day and all that is authentically reported about it and all that heralds it from its signs and conditions.
9 - To have faith in Pre-Decree and Predestination (al-qadr) and that its good and evil outcome is from Allaah the Exalted. And faith in it includes: Believing that Allaah the Most High knows what will occur before it occurs; that He has written this all in the Preserved Tablet (al-lawhul-mahfoodh); that whatever Allaah wishes occurs and whatever He does not wish, does not occur; that nothing can occur except if He wills; that Allaah has power over everything; that He is the Creator of everything; and that He does whatever He chooses.
10 - To have faith in all that is authentically related concerning the matters of the Unseen; such as the Throne (al-'arsh), the Chair (al-kursee), Paradise, Hellfire, the delights of the grave and its punishments, the Bridge over Hellfire (as-sirat), the Scales (al-meezaan) and other matters, but without giving a figurative interpretation (ta'weeL) to any of this.
11 - To have faith in the Intercession (shafaa'ah) of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, and the Intercession of other Prophets, the Angels, the righteous and others, on the Day of Resurrection; the details of which occur in the authentic evidences.
12 - The fact that the Believers will see their Lord on the Day of Resurrection, in Paradise and on the plains where people will be gathered, is absolutely true. Whosoever denies it, or twists its meaning, is astray and deviated. It is not possible for anyone to see Allaah in his world.
13 - The extraordinary occurrences (karaamaat) of the friends of Allaah (awliyaa) and the righteous are true. The mere occurrence of an extraordinary incident is not necessarily a karaamah. Rather, such an event may occur as a result of a delusion, or by the devils and sorcerers. The criterion for distinguishing between all this is whether or not that extraordinary occurrence, as well as the individual performing it, are in agreement with the Book and the Sunnah.
14 - All the Believers are close friends of Allaah (awliyaa). Every Believer possesses closeness to Allaah (wilaayah) according to their level of faith and piety.

Scriptual Commentary
A Call that Will Ring People's Ears
January 16, 2021 January 16, 2021 | Fr. William Smith
The Calling of Samuel, Joshua Reynolds, c. 1776
Fr. Smith's Commentary on the First Reading
1 Samuel 3:3b-10
We know that a moment is important in Jewish History when the LORD calls someone to do his will. We have seen the call of prophets and patriarchs. They know that they will be involved with something big and usually wish to opt out. God however knows who he wants, and no excuses are acceptable.
The situation today is the turn from a clan-based leadership structure to a real monarchy. We examined this a few weeks ago. To briefly review, from roughly 1350 to 1050 BC, the Hebrews were a loose coalition of tribes with similar religious beliefs and a shared dietary code. They desired to be as independent as possible but often needed to unite to fight a common enemy. At this time, they would determine a leader – a war chief – who world organize an army and lead it until they won or lost. This leader was called a judge. This system was like the confederations around them.
Some of these however were developing a more centralized administration which allowed them to maintain a professional army placing the Hebrews at a strategic disadvantage. This would need to change but it would only be a change within their tradition if it were instituted by a holy man called by the LORD. That man was Samuel.
His story began with his mother Hannah. She was a beloved wife but was barren. She and her husband were devout and often went to Shiloh to offer sacrifice. This was before the temple in Jerusalem was constructed and this sanctuary was at best semi-permanent but for convenience sake, we will call it a temple nonetheless. During one visit in desperation she entered the temple and begged the LORD for a child.
If you give your handmaid a male child,
I will give him to the LORD for as long as he lives;
neither wine nor liquor shall he drink,
and no razor shall ever touch his head."
(1 Sa 1:11)
Eli, the senior priest, hears her and blesses her request. After Samuel has been weaned, she brought him to Eli and left him with him. We find Samuel today with Eli in the sanctuary.
It is not Hannah who is barren but Eli. His eyes had grown so weak that he could barely see. He did however have sons Hophni and Phinehas who had taken over managing the temple. They extorted the sacrifices from the Israelites and abused the female servants. Eli tried to stop his sons, but he was unable to do so. His impotence was a sign of the spiritual deadness of the entire people.
During the time young Samuel was minister to the LORD under Eli,
a revelation of the LORD was uncommon and vision infrequent.
(1 Sa 3:1)
Contact with God was uncommon and thus there was no enlightenment.
The lamp of God was not yet extinguished,
and Samuel was sleeping in the temple of the LORD
where the ark of God was
The situation was dire but not yet hopeless the light was "not yet extinguished". Notice also that Samuel was close to the LORD he was sleeping near the ark of the covenant. Eli on the other hand was further away. In our terms, Samuel was sleeping in the sanctuary near the tabernacle and Eli was in the main aisle.
Samuel was to care for the aging Eli so when he hears a call, he immediately assumes that Eli needs him. A call from God as we have seen was uncommon so even Eli did not understand. Samuel's respond however even the first time was important: "Here I am." This was the response of the Patriarchs to the call of the LORD: Abraham (Gen. 22:1, 11), Jacob (31:11; 46:2), Joseph (37:13), and Moses (Exod. 3:4).
After the third time, Eli understands and tells Samuel to respond "Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening." Samuel does this and the LORD responds:
I am about to do something in Israel
that will cause the ears of everyone who hears it to ring.
The section read today was chosen to connect with the Gospel passage of the call of the disciples. The next few lines are not read at Mass, but we should look at them. The Lord tells the boy Samuel that he will destroy the family of Eli. The weakness of Eli and the corruption of his sons have prevented them from being part of his future plans. Samuel will be how the restructuring will occur. The people will go from being the Hebrews, a collection of clans to the Israelites a nation. The Lord shows his trust in Samuel by sharing this with him.
Eli may not have been able to be the LORD'S instrument in this restructuring, but he is still a man of God. When Eli saw Samuel the next morning he asked:
What did he say to you? Hide nothing from me!
May God do thus and so to you
if you hide a single thing he told you.
So Samuel told him everything, and held nothing back.
Eli answered, "He is the LORD.
He will do what he judges best."
(1 Sa 3:17–18)
How many of us would have had faith enough to say the same?
Samuel grew up, and the LORD was with him,
not permitting any word of his to be without effect.
As Hannah was made fruitful so now her son. Through him the presence of God was being revealed to the people:
Thus all Israel from Dan to Beersheba
came to know that Samuel was an accredited prophet of the LORD.The LORD continued to appear at Shiloh;
he manifested himself to Samuel at Shiloh through his word.
The world has experienced great distress his year. Although I am usually extremely suspicious of American exceptionalism, I think we could acknowledge that our country has been especially tried. The Church universal and our own Parish cannot be separated from this. We will know that the year of pandemic, division, and insurrection was more than an unfortunate series of distressing events but an experience of God visiting his people if he has called people to change the direction of the world.
Think about Hannah, think about Samuel, remember the Apostles called in today's Gospel, open the ears of your heart, is he calling you to do something that will ring in people's ears?

Paul Lembrechts (1957) is een Belgische bestuurder. Hij was van 2016 tot 2020 CEO van de VRT, de Vlaamse publieke omroep. Kort daarna kwam hij aan het hoofd te staan van de noodlijdende groep FNG.

Levensloop
Lembrechts is van opleiding dierenarts (Rijksuniversiteit Gent), maar volgde nadien opleidingen in bedrijfseconomie en marketing. Zijn eerste beroepservaring was toevallig een kennismaking met de VRT als omroeper en scenarioschrijver. Vervolgens ging hij in dienst bij Master Foods België, waar hij enkele leidinggevende functies waarnam. Vanaf 1995 was hij actief in de banksector, eerst bij de Generale Bank en vervolgens bij ABN Amro en vanaf oktober 2011 bij BKCP Bank. Bij deze laatste was hij CEO en lid van de raad van bestuur, maar verliet het bedrijf toen dit fuseerde met Beobank.

Op 1 maart 2016 werd Lembrechts CEO van de VRT als opvolger van Leo Hellemans, in een periode waarin de VRT volop de weg van de digitalisering diende in te slaan, een van de punten binnen de beheersovereenkomst met de Vlaamse overheid In januari 2020 werd Lembrechts ontslagen na een dispuut met de raad van bestuur over VRT-directeur Peter Claes. Lembrechts en vier andere leden van het directiecomité wilden Claes laten ontslaan, maar een deel van de raad van bestuur, waaronder voorzitter Luc Van den Brande, was het daar niet mee eens. Toen ook een aangestelde bemiddelaar geen oplossing voor het conflict kon aanreiken, besliste bevoegd minister Benjamin Dalle in overleg met Van den Brande om Lembrechts te ontslaan. Een latere audit van Audit Vlaanderen bracht een opeenstapeling van grote en kleinere misstappen binnen verschillende afdelingen op de VRT aan het licht, vooral binnen de domeinen beheerd door Claes. Het ging dan onder meer over het niet respecteren of het omzeilen van de aanbestedingsregels.

Op 4 juli 2020 stuurde het modehuis FNG NV een persbericht uit met de melding dat Paul Lembrechts werd aangesteld als derde CEO in twee maanden tijd. Lembrechts moet volgens insiders de brokken lijmen met de vakbonden, die het vertrouwen in de oprichters opzegden. Daarnaast diende hij snel duidelijkheid te brengen over enkele schimmige transacties in Azië, waardoor FNG mogelijk 94 miljoen euro die het nog te goed had niet meer terugziet. Toen de banken niet bereid bleken uitstel van betaling geven voor leningen ter waarde van 20 miljoen euro en toen ook op korte termijn geen overnemers gevonden werden, was eind juli 2020 een faling onvermijdbaar geworden en eindigde de rol van Lembrechts bij de groep. Op woensdag 20 oktober 2021 nam Lembrechts ontslag als CEO bij FNG omdat er enkele meningsverschillen waren omtrent het te verdienen salaris.

Eind 2020 dook zijn naam op in de Pandora Papers.

Lembrechts woont in het Waals-Brabantse Lasne en is gehuwd.

Q: Let $X = D^3 \cup_f S^2$ where $f: \delta D^3 \cong S^2 \rightarrow S^2$ is a degree d attaching map. Compute $H_i(X)$ Let $X = D^3 \cup_f S^2$ where $f: \delta D^3 \cong S^2 \rightarrow S^2$ is a degree d attaching map. Compute $H_i(X)$
$proof:$ I will use the mayer vietoris sequence.
Let $A = S^2$ and $B=D^3$. Then $A \cap B \cong S^2$ and our sequence will look like:
$0 \rightarrow H_2(S^2) \rightarrow^a H_2(D^3) \oplus H_2(S^2) \rightarrow^b H_2(X) \rightarrow^c H_1(S^2) \rightarrow 0$
Making the obvious substitutions we have:
$0 \rightarrow \mathbb{Z} \rightarrow^a \mathbb{Z} \rightarrow^b H_2(X)
\rightarrow^c 0$
Where $a(1) = d$
Thus $H_2(X) \cong \frac{\mathbb{Z}}{d\mathbb{Z}} \cong \mathbb{Z}_d$
Is this correct?

A: This looks right to me. BTW, you can regard this as the "suspension" of the "same" sequence one dimension lower, where you have (in polar coordinates)
$$
f: \partial D^2 \to S^1 : (1, \theta) \mapsto 2 \theta,
$$
(for the case $d = 2$, which is the nicest one), which may be easier to understand. The resulting space $X$, in this simpler case, is just $\Bbb RP^2$; the nice thing is that the fundamental group (hence first homology) of $\Bbb RP^2$ is $\Bbb Z/ 2 \Bbb Z$. (More generally, for the degree-$d$ map, you get $\Bbb Z/ d \Bbb Z$, whose abelianization is still $\Bbb Z/ d \Bbb Z$.) [NB: you can compute the fundamental groups in these cases pretty easily via Seifert/van Kampen.]
The only remaining challenge is to figure out how this lower-dimensional-sequence can tell you anything about the one you're looking at. I suspect that the 5-lemma comes into play, with the vertical maps all being induced by suspension, but I haven't actually worked through the details.

The Smithfield Street Bridge is a lenticular truss bridge crossing the Monongahela River in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.

The bridge was designed by Gustav Lindenthal, the engineer who later designed the Hell Gate Bridge in New York City. The Smithfield Street Bridge was built between 1881 and 1883, opening for traffic on March 19, 1883. It was widened in 1889 and widened again in 1911. The bridge has been designated a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark, a National Historic Landmark, and has a Historic Landmark Plaque from the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation.

History

The present bridge is the third bridge at the site and remains the second oldest steel bridge in the United States. In 1818, a wooden bridge was built across the Monongahela by Louis Wernwag at a cost of $102,000. This bridge was destroyed in Pittsburgh's Great Fire of 1845. The second bridge on the site was a wire rope suspension bridge built by John A. Roebling. Increases in both bridge traffic and river traffic eventually made the lightly built bridge with eight short spans inadequate. The present Lindenthal bridge was built in its place, using the Roebling bridge's stone masonry piers.

The Smithfield Street Bridge is the penultimate of the many bridges which span the Monongahela before the river joins with the Allegheny River to form the Ohio River at Downtown Pittsburgh. Only the Fort Pitt Bridge is farther downstream.

The bridge also served the Pittsburgh Railways streetcar system with lines coming from the Mt. Washington Transit Tunnel and from Carson Street crossing the bridge and continuing into downtown along Grant Street and Smithfield Street, returning to the bridge via Wood Street or Grant Street.  The tracks occupied the eastern half of the bridge. The streetcar line was abandoned in July 1985, when the streetcars were diverted to the Panhandle Bridge and the new light rail subway, on July 7.  The last day of streetcar service on downtown Pittsburgh streets and over the Smithfield Street Bridge was July 6, 1985, although the final crossing of the bridge by a streetcar did not take place until 1:40 a.m. on July 7.  The former streetcar right-of-way was then converted into a paved roadway for northbound traffic.

The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 21, 1974. Two years later, on May 11, 1976, it was designated a National Historic Landmark.

The bridge's short clearance from the river as well as its deteriorated condition convinced PennDOT officials to demolish the bridge and to replace it with a modern bridge.  Lobbying by Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation on the merits of preserving the bridge were considered by officials.  In 1994–1995 the bridge was rehabilitated with a new deck, a colorful paint scheme, and architectural lighting.  The abandoned rail lines became an extra traffic lane and there was an addition of a light-controlled bus lane which is activated during peak traffic hours.  The bridge also has the distinction of being the bridge most heavily walked by pedestrians, mostly commuters who park at Station Square.

The bridge connects Smithfield Street in Downtown Pittsburgh with Station Square.

Popular culture
The bridge is featured in the 1993 Bruce Willis film Striking Distance, the opening scene of the 1983 film Flashdance and the 2010 rap video Black and Yellow.

Fight Attempts to Dissolve The Bargaining Unit
Dear Unit Members,
Attached are two documents. The first is the letter that the Presidents of the State Colleges and Universities sent to the legislative leaders in Trenton regarding breaking up our bargaining unit.
The second letter is the Council of New Jersey State Locals' (Council) response to this letter which was sent on November 11, 2010 to the
legislative leadership, which I signed on behalf of our Local.
Be assured, the Council and the officers of AFT Local 1904 will
continue to fight the attempt to dissolve our bargaining unit. However,
we need you to continue to call your state legislators and
voice your opposition the following bills: S-2026/A-2963; S-2338/A-3220;
S-2337/A-3219.
Jennifer S. Higgins
President, AFT Local 1904
Assembly Democrats Call on Christie to End His War on Higher Education
(TRENTON) – The lead Assembly sponsors of a law passed in January to create greater accountability and transparency at state colleges and universities today urged Governor Christie to call a truce in his war on New Jersey's education system and stop cherry-picking the laws he chooses to implement.
The sponsors - Assembly Majority Leader Joe Cryan, Assembly Education Committee Chair Patrick J. Diegnan, Jr. and Assembly Higher Education Committee Chair Pamela Lampitt - sent a letter to Christie today urging him to act immediately to fulfill his obligation under the new law to nominate an individual to the newly created cabinet-level post of Secretary of Higher Education.

—AFT Local 1904 Election Committee
Special Election Update
The Elections Committee (Committee) had its first meeting on October 25, 2010. The members of the Committee consist of Grover Furr, Michael Heller, Jennifer Hunt, Matthew Pierce and Jack Samuels. They elected Jack Samuels as chair, and have sent out a Notice of Special Elections to the membership for the position of President.[Click here to Download]
State College Presidents' Lobbying Efforts
As a result of the Council of New Jersey State College Locals' (Council) efforts, we now have a copy of the New Jersey Presidents' Council's document [click to download] which presents what they believe to be "unfunded mandates and areas of over-regulation across all sectors of higher education in New Jersey." The New Jersey President's Council is the lobbying entity for the State College and University Presidents, of which Dr. Cole is a member. Here are some of the highlights that detail what Dr. Cole and her fellow Presidents are seeking:
State funding for mandated tuition-waiver programs. (Page 1)
The elimination of caps on tuition and fees in the annual State budget. (Page 1)
Control over health-care costs by "(a) revising the State Health Benefits Plans to make them more affordable; and (b) opening up competition by permitting management to substitute health or dental carriers if the primary coverage limits are substantially equal to existing coverage. Currently, management must negotiate a change in the health insurance carrier if the union asserts in any coverage element or claims processing procedure is not the same or better than the existing plan." (Page 2)
At the end of the current Statewide Contract, if no successor agreement is reached, step increases will not be granted. This would include a suspension of longevity, promotional, and educational credit increments. (Page 3)
The elimination of our bargaining unit and designation of the "state colleges and universities as the employer of record of their employees." (Page 3)
Changing the existing tenure procedures and thereby authorizing "the state colleges and universities to establish a probationary period for faculty consistent with the needs of the institution and national practice." It is proposed that "[t]his can be accomplished by amending the provisions of the State and County College Tenure Act (N.J.S.A. 18A:60-8 through 18A:60-15) regarding tenure and career development, and expanding the authority of the institutions' boards of trustees . . . to cover these matters under appropriate personnel policies." (Page 3)
The Council's President, Nicholas C. Yovnello, has written a response to this document. [click here to download]. The response points out that our bargaining unit has "existed for decades without any labor strife" and that wage increases have been modest, or there have been none at all. Most importantly the break up of our bargaining unit, the Locals that represent the Adjuncts, along with the Communications Workers of America (CWA), and Local 195, International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers (IFPTE), would result in the need to negotiate 36 separate contracts (four bargaining units times nine institutions), and thus lead to "administrative chaos, strikes, destructive competition between institutions and the deterioration of working conditions."
Also, the October 2007 State Commission of Investigation Report titled, Vulnerable to Abuse: The Importance of Restoring Accountability, Transparency and Oversight to Public Higher Education Governance and the July 5, 2010 Moody's Investor Service Report both document the "excessive borrowing by the state colleges and universities, more State oversight, not less, is clearly in the public interest."

Why on earth is a spelling competition known as a "spelling bee"? What do striped, honey-creating insects have to do with the written word? In fact, spelling bees aren't named after the insect, but rather the term refers to a gathering of people who come together for a common purpose, often helping one another to achieve a task. Originating from the Middle English word "bene," people have gathered over the centuries to participate in sewing bees, cleaning bees and now even spelling bees.
Previous names for spelling bees have emphasized the competitive elements of the event, with people calling it a "spelling match," "spelling fight" and even "spelling combat" before settling on the more communal "spelling bee" which sounds much more like a celebration of spelling in the community.
There is no more ultimate celebration of spelling than the spelling bee, which engages thousands of children across the world in reading and writing. In an age when formal spelling instruction is less and less a part of formal schooling, the spelling bee is more popular than ever, making it clear that there is still an important place for spelling in the modern world.
Spelling as a topic of study began largely due to the influence of Noah Webster's "Blue-backed Speller," which revolutionized education when received 1786 by a largely illiterate nation. Webster sparked a generation's interest in spelling and teachers soon began to use competitions to motivate students to improve their spelling. Spelling contests have been recorded as far back as 1808, though they weren't formalized until the first United States National Spelling Bee took place in 1925.
After sixteen years of annual contests, the Scripps Howard News Service began to sponsor the event and to this day continues its support of the bee, which is now known as the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Not only do children in the United States participate, but the event is now open to competitors from around the world. The best spellers are able to win major cash prizes, making competition fierce!
The popularity of the Scripps National Spelling Bee has spread across the globe with local communities holding spelling bees in various countries. Even non-English speaking countries in Asia, Africa and the Middle East are using the format to help their kids learn English.
Why Participate in a Spelling Bee?
Many have questioned the value of spelling bees, complaining that they force children to perform mindless rote-memorization in a high pressure and the potentially traumatizing environment. This couldn't be further from the truth. While students who reach the highest levels of the national contest are competing on television (the Scripps National Spelling Bee is shown on sports broadcasting giant ESPN) for a large sum of prize money, they are also learning valuable life skills to help them manage such situations.
The competitors gain the experience necessary to develop a healthy sense of sportsmanship and friendly rivalry, while learning how to both win and lose with grace. Students are encouraged to interact with each other and connect over a mutual interest in language. They also gain confidence by performing in public. Athletics and sports are commonly viewed as healthy outlets for competitive spirit, as well as a way to gain confidence in oneself, yet children who lack athletic prowess are often viewed as "nerds" and rarely receive the public glory that athletes enjoy. Spelling bees provide students who have an interest in language to enjoy the same opportunity to compete, perform and experience those valuable life lessons on their own terms.
Aside from personal life skills, spelling bee participants also gain incredible language-based knowledge and literacy skills. Former judge at the Scripps National Spelling Bee, Linda Wood, has pointed out that in fact studying for a spelling bee doesn't just entail rote memorization of words, but actually involves a lot more learning that most people imagine. While training for a spelling bee, students learn about word roots and origins, the history of words and delve deeper into understanding the meaning and grammatical function of words. In fact, a champion speller can spell a word they've never seen before, just be making educated guesses about the usage, meaning and history of the word components, such affixes.
Students who target their spelling study not only increase their vocabulary, but develop cognitive abilities and learning strategies which can be applied to any field later in life. Spellers equip themselves with the tools to reach a higher writing level and the ability to manipulate language. Their knowledge generally helps them to become great readers as well, enjoying a wide range of literature and reading material often beyond their years.
While there are plenty of benefits to competitive spelling, nobody can deny that it is sometimes hard work. Spelling bee words can be extremely challenging, even for adults who have been reading and writing for decades! Daily study is necessary to become a true champion, but even people who aren't interested in competition can become good spellers by putting aside just a small amount of regular time to practice consistently.
· Use an official word list. The Scripps Spelling Bee provides an official word list for each grade level, up to the 8th grade. These lists provide a benchmark to measure yourself against and give you a good idea of the standard the judges expect.
· Understand the meanings of words. Don't just memorize each item from the word list by rote. Learn everything you can about each word and its meanings. Spelling bees allow you to hear the word used in a sentence, so familiarize yourself with usage and likely contexts in which you'll hear it.
· Study etymology. Explore the history of words, including Greek and Latin word roots. It may sound extreme, but details like this make the difference between a champion speller and an average one. Spelling bees usually allow you to ask for the language of origin, and familiarity with the linguistic ancestors of English can give you valuable clues to modern day spelling.
· Look for patterns in language. Familiarity with affixes, phonics and spelling rules will help you. Even you get stuck on a word you've never seen before, you'll at least be able to make an informed guess, which could save you in a tight spot.
· Make study fun. Invent games, use flashcards and enlist family and friends to help you. Spelling study doesn't have to be based on boring list memorization. If you enjoy study, you'll be far more likely to persist with it, so find what works for you and have fun with it.
· Use every available resource. Dictionaries are a common one for spelling bee training, but there are plenty of online games and resources that you can use to enhance your study. Websites like SpellQuiz provide a motivating change to the traditional dictionary study, and offer you the ability to really track your progress accurately. SpellQuiz online spelling bee exercises have been built specifically based on words used in the Scripps National Spelling Bee. The vocabulary comes straight from the official Scripps lists mentioned earlier, giving students a chance to practice using those words in a practical and useful way. SpellQuiz gets students to use vocabulary items in a sentence, which increases spellers' understanding of word meanings and usage, another useful skill for spelling bee contestants.
A spelling bee can spark a love of language and learning in children that will serve them well throughout their entire lives. The literacy, cognitive and life skills that they develop through study and competing have benefits far beyond the scope of mere spelling ability, reaching into every aspect of life and communication. Participating in a spelling bee may be hard work, but it can also be a lot of fun, with many unexpected rewards for all facets of life.

Does a Whiff Count As a Stroke in Golf?
If the golfer is trying to hit the golf ball but misses, yes, that's a stroke. You have to count it.
If the golfer intentionally misses the ball, no, it's not a stroke. You don't have to count it.
The scenario is this: A golfer steps up to the ball and makes a swing. But our poor golfer completely misses the ball - no contact at all. He whiffs it. Is that a stroke?
The answer depends on the golfer's intent. If the golfer was trying to hit the ball, then, yes, it's a stroke. However, as noted above, if the golfer missed the ball intentionally, that "whiff" is not a stroke. Why would a golfer miss on purpose? We're talking about things such as a checked-swing, or a last-second distraction that causes the golfer to raise the clubhead and intentionally swing over the top of the ball.
"A 'stroke' is the forward movement of the club made with the intention of fairly striking at and moving the ball, but if a player checks his downswing voluntarily before the clubhead reaches the ball he is deemed not to have made a stroke."
That definition includes the words "checks his downswing voluntarily before the clubhead reaches the ball" (emphasis mine). Does that mean if the clubhead goes past the ball it's a stroke? Not necessarily. Again, intent is the key.
Decision 14/1.5 in The Decisions on the Rules of Golf, issued by the USGA and R&A, specifically addresses this question. A golfer begins his downswing, the Decision postulates, with the intention of hitting the ball. But during the downswing he decides not to hit the ball. Because he can't stop his club, he lifts his hands, raising the clubhead and swinging over the ball, intentionally missing it. Is that a stroke?
"No. The player is considered to have checked his downswing voluntarily by altering the path of his downswing and missing the ball even though the swing carried the clubhead beyond the ball."
The key takeaway: If a golfer is trying to hit the golf ball and misses, it's a stroke.
Is it a stroke if I accidentally bump the ball off the tee?
Is it a stroke if I accidentally contact the ball with a practice swing?
Just remember: Even the pros have been known to whiff (although in those exceedingly rare instances, the pros are usually whiffing putts, not full swings). And if you whiff a shot that you meant to hit, be honest with yourself and your playing partners, admit it, count the stroke and move on.

Longshot Odds
It's the end of a work week; it's raising a fist; it's screaming your lungs out—it's diving headfirst into a hundred sweaty bodies. South Carolina's Longshot Odds captures the energy and abandon of a raging pit, a marriage of iron-heavy chords and honey-thick leads—the kind of music where the bruising comes with the chorus. Their new EP, Circle the Drain, is a six-song EP from an exciting new voice in punk rock—but what they bring to the table is more than the same old sounds. From the metallic "Challenger," to the grandiose and cinematic "Movin' On," all the way to the bouncey folk of "Blood and Asphalt"—Longshot Odds bring a diversity to their sound practically unheard of in today's skate punk scene. But above all this, Circle the Drain promises deliverance through rock 'n roll, and Longshot Odds fight tooth and claw to deliver. The EP, out now on Dying Scene Records, can be streamed here.

Q: tap-bridge-tap : No LACP I have two switches connected via TAP interfaces.
Each Virtual Switch port is connected to an individual TAP port and the TAP ports are joined via a Bridge.
SW1-port1 = TAP 11 <== BR121 ==> TAP 21 = SW2-port1
SW1-port2 = TAP 12 <== BR122 ==> TAP 22 = SW2=port2

If I configure the Switch ports as normal layer 3, they can ping each other, which means the setup above is working, however LACP packets get dropped and I cannot establish a port channel between the two (for educational purposes).
I can see LACP packets generated by the locally connected switch if I "tcpdump" the TAP interface, but somehow the LACP packet does not make it to the other end (to the other TAP I/F).
Could it be the Bridge absorbing the LACP packet?
Is there a way to prevent this?
Thanks,
Francesco

A: Yes, LACP uses the group address 01:80:C2:00:00:02, which is in the "do not relay" range: any 802.1D-compliant bridge must not forward these frames.
While Linux bridges allow configuring exceptions to this (via group_fwd_mask), this feature is meant for higher level protocols such as LLDP or 802.1X and explicitly refuses to add a bypass for the STP/LACP address.
(I think this makes a lot of sense, because these protocols are specifically meant to be used between two peers on opposite ends of a direct link, and would malfunction in various ways otherwise.)
Bridges classified as two-port MAC relays would be an exception: as they link exactly two interfaces, they can be transparent to LACP. However, as far as I know there is no native method of telling a Linux bridge to act as one.
It could be done using a userspace program to move frames between two interfaces, such as socat.
Alternatively you could run LACP between each of your vswitches and the Linux host (using either the bonding or teaming drivers), and then put the bridge on top of the two LAGs (bond interfaces).

NEW LATINO IMPRINT: CAFÉ CON LECHE BOOKS
The Good News: Koehler Books is launching a new Latino imprint, Café Con Leche, with author/agent/publisher Leticia Gomez and author/life coach/motivational speaker Harris Kern at the helm.
The Bad News: Café Con Leche's first book -- The Life of Ximena Godoy by Graciela Limón – will not be released until May 2015.
We anxiously await the release of the first book in what promises to be an exciting imprint. Café Con Leche will publish fiction and non-fiction by Latino authors and Latino-themed works in English for now. Below is the official press release.
We wish Leticia and Harris the best of luck with their new imprint! –mcf
PRESS RELEASE: Koehler Books Launches Latino Imprint
VIRGINIA BEACH, JUNE 1, 2014: Köehler Books is proud to announce the creation and launch of its new Latino imprint Café con Leche, which will publish print and e-books of uncompromising quality written by Latino authors or are of interest to a wide Latino readership.
Café con Leche (CCL) is being spearheaded by Leticia Gomez who has worked in publishing since 1993. As CEO and Founder of Savvy Literary Services, one of the few minority-oriented publishing firms, Gomez has distinguished herself as being a bilingual literary agent who strategically and tirelessly champions the work of the underdog writer.
"When I first launched Savvy Literary Services in January of 2007, I never imagined that I would be instrumental in the creation of a sorely needed Latino imprint," said Gomez, "much less be in the driver's seat of this brand new vehicle that is sure to transport worthy Latino authors more quickly through the overcrowded and highly complex highway that leads to publication."
The Life of Ximena Godoy, the latest novel to come from the writing desk of critically acclaimed and award-winning Chicana/Latina author Graciela Limón, shall be the first book to be published by CCL. Limón is the author of several novels, including The Madness of Mamá Carlota (2012); The River Flows North (2009); Erased Faces (2001), which was awarded the 2002 Gustavus Myers Outstanding Book Award; The Day of the Moon (1999); Song of the Hummingbird (1996); The Memories of Ana Calderón (1994, 2001); and In Search of Bernabé (1993), which as a finalist for the Art Seidenbaum First Novel Award and was named a "Notable Book of the Year" by The New York Times Book Review. "In my heart and mind, there is no better way to launch Café con Leche than with the publication of this high-quality literary novel about revenge and murder penned by one of today's greatest Latina contemporary voices." Gomez said she also has several other high profile authors and projects she is considering for publication.
Gomez will run CCL with Harris Kern, published author of more than forty books. Kern is recognized nationally as an organization mentor, personal life coach, and motivational speaker. From 1994 to 2004, Kern ran and operated his own imprint of IT books for Prentice Hall/Pearson, an imprint of Penguin. He, Gomez and the Koehler Books editorial board will select works to be published by CCL.
"Leticia and Harris will provide a literary venue for America's fast-growing demographic community," said Köehler Books Publisher John Koehler. "Leticia and Harris have a great eye for talent and know how to market authors and their books.''

West Vancouver is a pleasant waterfront community with a population of 45,000. Here, Cypress Mountain was the venue for the freestyle skiing and snowboarding events at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games.
Getting to and from West Vancouver is straightforward, with its connections to downtown Vancouver (via the Lions Gate Bridge) and to North Vancouver (via Highway 1). The West Vancouver Blue Bus Transit system connects West Vancouver, downtown Vancouver, the Village of Lions Bay and the University of British Columbia. Founded in 1912, it's North America's oldest continuously operating municipal bus system.
West Vancouver meets your shopping needs easily. In addition to local seasonal farmers markets, you'll find communities of stores in Dundarave Village – located along scenic Marine Drive – and at Ambleside Village, which feels like a small-town Main Street, Caulfeild Village at exit 4 from Highway 1.
Indoor/outdoor mall Park Royal offers almost everything else with its more than 250 stores. In West Vancouver, you have much to explore in addition to Cypress Mountain. You'll find Lighthouse Park, hiking and walking trails and plenty of golf. Beyond town, a short drive up Highway 99 North takes you to Whistler, providing some of the world's best skiing and snowboarding. Nearby, Horseshoe Bay is a gateway by ferry to Vancouver Island and closer getaway options, including Bowen Island and the Sunshine Coast.

Homophobia and transphobia are the site of new struggle in modern day life around the world, akin to the injustices based on race and gender which we felt strongest in the collective histories of southern Africa in the not too distant past, and which still exist today. Faith communities and especially the Christian church in our region were instrumental in challenging the systemic and structural injustices inflicted on people of colour, women and girls to shift hearts and minds, and must now stand with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people against homophobia and transphobia, as they too are people created in the image of God.
This is the message from renowned anti-apartheid leader, author and theologian Prof Allan Boesak, in his public address and paper, Taking a Stand: A call to action by the church against injustice towards LGBTI people. The public address was held at a packed-to-capacity Dennis Hurley Hall at the Diakonia Centre in Durban on 24 June 2019, as the opening event of a larger three-day Africa wide convening on Breaking Through the Backlash: Transformative encounters between LGBTI people and the churches in Africa, a gathering convened by the Other Foundation in partnership with Durban's Diakonia Council of Churches and the Durban Lesbian and Gay Centre in Durban, South Africa.

Q: Redirects issue in ngrinder groovy-Eclipse plugin I am facing an issue when I am scripting the redirects in nGrinder (Script written in Groovy in Eclipse; Eclipse integrated with Groovy plugin) for the URL: https://winterfell-sbo-sbo-test-cso-web-mta.cfapps.sap.hana.ondemand.com/sites
 Attached is the Eclipse log (Page #11, #12, #13) for your reference and below is the explanation on the issue.
Step#1
 I fire a HTTP GET request on https://winterfell-sbo-sbo-test-cso-web-mta.cfapps.sap.hana.ondemand.com/sites.
 This automatically follows redirects and then lands on to the Login Page: https://winterfell.authentication.sap.hana.ondemand.com/login
Step#2
 I fire another HTTP GET request on 'https://winterfell.authentication.sap.hana.ondemand.com/saml/discovery?returnIDParam=idp&entityID=winterfell.canary&idp=winterfell-metadata&isPassive=true
 This doesn't automatically redirect to "Location" header -> https://winterfell.authentication.sap.hana.ondemand.com/saml/login/alias/winterfell.canary?disco=true&idp=xs2security.accounts400.ondemand.com
Refer to the screenshot for more information.
Instead it gets redirected to https://winterfell.authentication.sap.hana.ondemand.com/login
 We tried to capture and set the csrf cookie for the GET request of https://authentication.sap.hana.ondemand.com/saml/discovery?returnIDParam=idp&entityID=winterfell.canary&idp=winterfell-metadata&isPassive=true -> but still it isn't working as expected
Colleague was able to make this work in JMeter. So we are trying to simulate this in nGrinder by setting "followRedirects" to true and it isn't working as expected.
Since in Step#2, it is not picking up the location of the response header and redirecting back to "/login" page, what could be the possible reasons for this behavior?
we checked if xsuaa is working fine. On executing the request in Postman, everything worked as expected. Curl works well.

Scientists Have Officially Cloned a Monkey, Confirm It Is Now Possible To Clone a Human Being
By Thomas Phippen January 24, 2018 at 3:25pm
China has successfully cloned primates for the first time, bringing science one step closer to making human copies in a lab.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Neuroscience in Shanghai successfully cloned two long-tailed macaque monkeys, named Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua, in a lab several weeks ago.
The lab reportedly plans to conduct more cloning operations, according to New Science.
[jwplayer QZ3KAZJG]
"It's been tried for so many years and it hasn't worked," Shoukhrat Mitalipov, director of the Center for Embryonic Cell and Gene Therapy at the Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, Oregon, told NPR. "This time it worked, which is a big deal."
The breakthrough came when the Chinese team took DNA from fetal monkey cells, instead of using adult cells like how the sheep Dolly was cloned more than 20 years ago. The fetal macaque nuclei were then placed in a donor embryo, and grown in the wombs of surrogate monkeys.
Researchers use an electric current to fool the egg into acting fertilized so that it starts to develop into an embryo.
Then, the embryo grows into an exact copy of the animal that donated the nucleus.
Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua were both created from connective tissue cells taken from the fetus of an aborted female monkey.
Do you think cloning is a bad idea?
Yes: 87% (13 Votes)
No: 13% (2 Votes)
The team implanted 79 embryos into 21 surrogates, and the two macaques were the only successful pregnancies.
The institute says it expects more macaque clones to be born in the coming months.
Cloning animals could be effective in researching diseases and testing effective treatments on genetic conditions and cancers, the institute said.
Experimentation on cloning humans remains illegal in most countries, but a successful human cloning procedure is increasingly possible with the success of cloning primates.
"Humans are primates. So the cloning of primate species, including humans, the technical barrier is now broken," Muming Poo, a cloning program supervisor, told reporters.
Retired Army General to Take Power in Europe as War Rages on Continent
According to Robin Lovell-Badge, an expert on cloning at the Francis Crick Institute in London, human cloning "remains a very inefficient and hazardous procedure."
"The work in this paper is not a stepping-stone to establishing methods for obtaining live born human clones," he said. "This clearly remains a very foolish thing to attempt."

Canon PIXMA TS8050 Driver Download - The Canon PIXMA TS8050 We have actually always been followers of Epson's 'small-in-one' printers, such as the XP-640 we assessed lately, which give extremely portable printers for house users, and also now Canon is getting in on the act with the current enhancement to its Pixma variety of photo printers. Like various other models in the Pixma array, the compact Canon PIXMA TS8050 puts its focus on premium photo printing, with a print mechanism that utilizes 6 various ink cartridges. The conventional cyan, magenta, yellow and also black inks are matched by a grey ink that assists to improve contrast and subtle tonal graduations within pictures, while the 6th cartridge supplies a special pigmented black ink that is utilized for publishing message.
Canon says that the new Canon PIXMA TS8050 is 30 percent smaller sized compared to previous models in the variety, and at 139mm high, 372mm wide and also 324mm deep it's absolutely small adequate to sit on a desk or a rack in an office or room where space is a bit tight. However, Canon handles to pack in plenty of helpful features that aid to validate the printer's reasonably high expense. Along with the 9600x2400dpi printing, the TS8050 includes a 2400x4800dpi scanner as well as photo copier.

Hi guys! I have a bunch of awesome new things to share with you in today's video. First, I bought a few things from KillStar -- a gothy online clothing store. Then I talk a little about my new camera, and things I bought to go with it, as well as a new game. Then I finish up with a couple of new beauty products I picked up.
I bounce around and hit a few different categories in this one, but hopefully at least some of it is interesting to you. As always, thanks for watching and supporting!
