It's Wednesday night and Big Pine Key man Mark Moses is drunk. This is, after all, the Florida Keys.
Moses somehow managed to steal one of the bulldozer and take it for a joy ride.
After he got bored with that, he went home.
Monroe County Sheriffs got a call about some damaged equipment the next morning.
The cops arrived, and local10.com reports they found the windshield and both mirrors broken.
Our hero left some things behind too… such as his wallet, a pair of shoes, and of course, spilled beers and cigarette butts. Tell-tale signs of a feral Florida Man.
The deputies caught up with the 65-year-old, and he admitted to stealing the bulldozer.
He had "no memory" of what he did, as most Florida Mans tend to black out before they make our headlines.
Mark Moses was arrested on felony counts of burglary and property damage.

Бегающие кукушки  — подсемейство семейства кукушковых (Cuculidae). Члены этого подсемейства известны также как наземные кукушки Нового Света, поскольку большинство из них в значительной степени наземные и обитают в Северной и Южной Америках . Только роды Dromococcyx и Tapera ведут более древесный образ жизни, и они также являются единственными гнездовыми паразитами среди кукушек в Северной и Южной Америки, в то время как остальные виды этого семейства, живущие на Американских континентах, все строят собственные гнезда. Раньше в это подсемейство включали и азиатских земляных кукушек рода Caprococcyx, сейчас показано, что их сходство следствие конвергенции к сходному образу жизни и в действительности они относятся к Пестроклювым кукушкам (Phaenicophaeinae).

For most of human history, theism was treated as a given. To be sure, there were differences of opinion on the issue. Are there many gods or one? Does he communicate through law? Or prophets? If so, which ones? Might he have become incarnate at some time in human history? These questions and countless others have been answered in many different ways by the world's great religious traditions. But the underlying presumption in favor of some form of theism remained a constant.
This is no longer the case. Where atheists of old worked to conceal their skepticism for fear of punishment or social ostracism, today they collect hefty book advances and enjoy widespread public adoration. And no wonder: A recent poll shows that one in five Americans has no religious preference, more than double the number reported in 1990 — and the highest rate since the number began to be tracked in the 1930s. According to another survey, nearly a third of Americans under the age of 30 describe themselves as atheist, agnostic, or "spiritual but not religious," making the millennial generation the most religiously unaffiliated of any on record.
For those who have led the charge against the forces of faith — Dawkins, Dennett, Harris, Hitchens, Grayling, and numerous other wannabes — this change is a welcome sign that the American people have at long last begun to dispel their atavistic ignorance and reconcile themselves to the scientific account of the universe, which is utterly incompatible with any form of theism.
One of the many virtues of theologian David Bentley Hart's stunning new book, The Experience of God: Being, Consciousness, Bliss, is that it demolishes this facile, self-satisfied position, exposing how completely it relies on a straw man account of God for its cogency. Atheism may well be true; a society of secularists might get along just fine without any form of piety. But until those unbelievers confront the strongest cases for God, they will have failed truly and honestly to rout their infamous enemy.
The first of these shared claims is that God transcends the universe. Without exception, our clamorous and combative atheists treat God as if he were the biggest, most powerful object or thing in, or perhaps alongside, the universe (a Flying Spaghetti Monster, perhaps). Then they use the findings of science to show that there is no evidence for such an immensely powerful object or thing. And ipso facto, there is no God.
But, of course, the major world religions don't view God in this way at all. They treat God, instead, as the transcendent source, the ground, or the end of the natural world. And that is an enormous — actually, an infinite — difference.
Scientists are heroically proficient at detecting the laws that govern the natural world. They interrogate phenomena, trace effects back to their contingent causes, and then those causes back to even prior causes, developing and testing theories that seek to explain the temporal sequence. In the case of cosmology, that sequence extends all the way back to origins of the universe — to the first contingent cause of every subsequent cause over the past 13.82 billion years or so.
God concerns something else entirely. He is certainly not one of the many contingent causes within the natural world. But neither is he the first contingent cause, setting off the Big Bang from some blast-resistant fallout shelter lodged, somehow, outside of and prior to the universe as we know it.
On the contrary, according to the classical metaphysical traditions of both the East and West, God is the unconditioned cause of reality — of absolutely everything that is — from the beginning to the end of time. Understood in this way, one can't even say that God "exists" in the sense that my car or Mount Everest or electrons exist. God is what grounds the existence of every contingent thing, making it possible, sustaining it through time, unifying it, giving it actuality. God is the condition of the possibility of anything existing at all.
This can be a difficult concept to grasp, but Hart does an exceptionally good job of explaining it — as he does the way this classical idea of God makes sense of the experience and unity of consciousness, as well as the ecstatic longing for the good and the beautiful that lies at the heart of moral experience.
In a move sure to enrage atheists, Hart even goes so far as to argue that faith in this classical notion of God can never be "wholly and coherently rejected" — and not only because it may very well be self-contradictory to prove the nonexistence of an absolute, transcendent ground of existence.
The deeper reason why theism can't be rejected, according to Hart, is that every pursuit of truth, every attempt to be good, every longing for beauty presupposes the existence of some idea of truth, goodness, and beauty from which these particular instances are derived. And these transcendental ideas unite in the classical concept of God, who simply is truth, goodness, and beauty. That's why, although it isn't necessary to believe in God in some explicit way in order to be good, it certainly is the case (in Hart's words) "that to seek the good is already to believe in God, whether one wishes to do so or not."
That bracing and bold assertion, like the others that pack nearly every page of The Experience of God, should be questioned and subjected to scrutiny. But it should also be pondered. For provoking deep thought about the profoundest human questions, and for taking an intelligent stand in defense of faith and against its complacent, cultured despisers, Hart deserves the gratitude of a large and appreciative audience.


I decided a few weeks ago that Noelle was going to have a bird themed 1st birthday. Not creepy black birds...but cute little whimsical birds.
I decided last weekend that I needed to find a way to make a bird-like Cake Pop (the Bakerella variety). How hard could it be??
Well...I took on the task, starting on Sunday. I thought it would be a simple thing to do. Not so much.
So, I made the first batch-o-balls. They tasted great, but they were too big and they didn't stay on the sticks very well. When I dipped them in the chocolate, they were lumpy. I also made the mistake of letting them dry by sitting on a cookie sheet with waxed paper. This created a flat top on each cake pop. Yucky. But...like I said...they tasted great!
I harvested some advice from Facebook from people who have done this before, but they helped me get through some of my issues.
Here's a list to help you if you decide to do this. This second batch was a white cake with cream cheese frosting and then white candy melts dyed light yellow.
1. Make sure you have the right consistency of the cake mix and frosting. I really mixed it will and then let it kind of sit out for a little bit, which made it get a little tacky and rolled much easier.
2. Make the balls about the width of a quarter. Do not make the balls too big!!!
3. Dip the stick in a little bit of the candy melts first (about a 1/2"), and then stick them in the balls. This will help them stick.
4. Refrigerate (or freeze) for several hours.
5. Add a little oil to the candy melts to make it a little thinner so it doesn't tug on the cake ball and make it lumpy.
6. Make sure you put the candy melts in a deep enough cup so that you can fully dunk the cake ball.
7. Twist and tap the cake pop once it is coated, getting the excess off.
8. Stick the cake pops in a block of styrofoam so that they can dry standing up.
9. For the faces of my birds, I used some shaped sprinkles and some black frosting dye. I used the end of a pop stick to get some candy melt on the tip and then use it as glue for the beak and feet. I used the end of a pop stick to make the eyes, too. Granted, I haven't really figured out which face looks more like a bird. Some of these look like birds, some look like crazy clowns, others look like rabbits, and some look like hamsters. Meh. I will get better.
Praise the LORD I did not just decide to make these for the first time the weekend of Noelle's birthday! I would say you need to allow yourself at least a full day to get these made. They are time consuming, but if you put in the extra work, they look pretty cute!
The best part is that they taste as good as they look...or in my case, they taste better than they look!
BIRDS! Ashley-Bird! You KNOW I love this idea.
The cake balls look great!


Aside from competitors, standard people can similarly profit a great deal from hemp feast utilization since it contains basically unsaturated fats which are required by the body to perform ideally. In addition, hemp feast contains two or three supplements and nutrients required by the body which incorporate cbd oil vs hemp oil, copper, zinc, phosphorous, magnesium, and nutrients B and E. Furthermore, in particular, it is a brilliant wellspring of dietary fiber. More data referenced here.
Hemp has been around for a considerable length of time and was principally developed in old China yet has additionally been developed in early India, Mesopotamia, Persia, and Egypt. In America hemp was developed by George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin had a hemp paper factory which the Declaration of Independence was composed on. Hemp is a standout amongst the most notable normal materials. Developed for well more than 12,000 thousand years, people have profited by this flexible substance in an assortment of ways. Hemp was grasped by our predecessors and is arranged as a very helpful inexhaustible asset. Hemp was frequently used for the sails and rope of boats which made it a compulsory yield for early American states and settlements even in the end discovering its way into the US Army and US Department of Agriculture's "Hemp for Victory" crusade which incredibly helped in World War 2 endeavors. Hemp's uses are so immense it was tried different things with by Henry Ford while designing the cutting edge vehicle and now assumes a job in remote vehicle creator BMW's endeavor to make autos recyclable and all the more naturally neighborly. Hemp even discovers its way into a portion of the winged creature seed you find at the pet stores. Comprising of long filaments it is a solid, practical, light, and sound ware that has an incentive over a huge number of ventures. Notwithstanding on the off chance that it development, nourishment, design, fuel, or any of the various classifications hemp falls under, one thing is for sure and that is it doesn't get as much credit as it merits. As significant as hemp has been to our past it is much progressively vital to our future. Hemp is one of the best crude nourishments earth has ever observed. Hemp oil is unmatched in quality and gives medical advantages that other crude nourishments essentially can't. In this article we will audit a couple of the reasons why hemp is a standout amongst the most dominant crude sustenances we have accessible.
Considered an "impeccable sustenance" for people because of its optimal 3:1 Linoleic corrosive (LA-Omega 6) to Alpha Linolenic corrosive (LNA-Omega 3) proportion hemp oil furnishes the body with a perfect parity of basic unsaturated fats (EFA's).

« Drive: The 4th 'Law of Success'
'Europe needs to do 2 things to win the trade war,' Donald Trump's World Trade Organization views are leading to the rise of the Babylonian Beast »
López Obrador wins Mexico's election: Expect friction with the USA and more ties to Europe
Mexico has a new president elect:
Left-wing candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador has claimed victory in Mexico's presidential election, saying "profound change" is coming.
The ex-Mexico City mayor, known by his initials Amlo, is projected to win about 53%. His rivals have conceded in a crushing defeat for the main parties.
Mr López Obrador's key pledge has been to tackle the "evil" of corruption.
He has also been highly critical of President Donald Trump and ties with the US will now be closely watched.
Relations with Washington have been hugely strained, with Mr Trump strongly criticising Mexico over trade and migration. Mr Trump has sent a tweet of congratulations. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-44677829
MEXICO CITY — Andrés Manuel López Obrador — a populist representing a left-wing political party that he founded four years ago — will be the next leader of Mexico, marking a major change for a country that has been led by the same two political parties for almost 90 years.
Mexicans on Sunday headed to the polls in the country's largest-ever election with almost 90 million eligible voters and 18,000 open government positions. In the presidential race at the top of the ticket, López Obrador won with a message that he'd end violence, corruption and inequality.
López Obrador also gained support with a pledge he'd demand respect from President Donald Trump, potentially further straining U.S.-Mexico relations on everything from immigration policy to trade. https://www.politico.com/story/2018/07/01/mexico-lopez-obrador-president-689653
Notice also the following:
President Trump defiantly stood by his tariffs on Sunday as Canada hit back hard, Mexico elected a new leader who seems prepared to confront him, and the European Union issued a scathing condemnation of his policy as "in effect, a tax on the American people."
Instead of backing down, Trump brushed off the mounting pressure from businesses and world leaders to scale back the taxes before they cause additional job losses and slower economic growth. …
Trump said in an interview on Fox News's "Sunday Morning Futures" that the European Union is just as bad as China on trade and that he didn't intend to sign a new North American Free Trade Agreement deal until after the midterm elections in November. …
"NAFTA, I could sign it tomorrow, but I'm not happy with it. I want to make it more fair, okay?" Trump said, adding that "I want to wait until after the election" to sign it.
The election of leftist leader Andrés Manuel López Obrador as president of Mexico is likely to decrease prospects for signing a revised NAFTA by the end of the year. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/trump-stands-firm-on-trade-even-as-foreign-tariffs-begin-kicking-in/2018/07/01/796142c2-7d6d-11e8-b0ef-fffcabeff946_story.html?utm_term=.2ca7ad4b9f69
Donald Trump's immigration and trade statements have long concerned many in Mexico, as well as many in Europe. By making trade issues more difficult for each of them, he is, in essence, also pushing them closer together.
Consider also something that I warned about in 2008:
In the spirit of accommodation and personal interest, many of the "standards" of the European Union will be adopted by the USA, Canada and Mexico, as well as by nearly all of the countries of the world. The Arab nations will most likely agree with many of the standards as they seem to be destined to form a brief end-time alliance with the Europeans (The Arab World In the Bible, History, and Prophecy).
However, over time, it will become increasingly clear that the British will be in more agreement with the Canadians and Americans and that the European Union in more agreement with the Mexicans than the EU will have with the English-speaking nations.
Trade wars and/or serious trade disputes will most likely arise.
The Brits will ultimately decide that they are more supportive of the Americans and Canadians. They will be so much more supportive that they will end up in a trading agreement with them (with the Australians and New Zealanders probably also becoming part of that agreement).
The EU will decide that Mexico and the rest of Latin America are in more agreement with it and thus make some type of serious trading agreement with most (or all) of Latin America. The Vatican will also have influence here as Latin America is highly Roman Catholic.
The Europeans and Americans, however, will continue to have military agreements, though many will be tense about them.
Eventually, the Europeans (possibly under the cover of pretending that they are involved in a "NATO-like" exercise in North America) will eventually launch a surprise attack against the United States in fulfillment of both biblical and Catholic prophecies. The Mexicans will most likely be allied with the Europeans for this to happen. (Thiel B. A Combined EU & North American Trade Block Coming? COGwriter.com, March 3, 2008)
Earlier this year, Mexico did make a trade deal with the Europeans (see EU and Mexico making a trade deal, partially to send Donald Trump a message). Expect more cooperation between the Europeans and Mexico.
Consider also, something else, I posted here is 2008:
Because of the cultural, ethnic, language, legal, and religious ties between Europe and Latin America, the two regions will likely cooperate more in the future. These ties will be primarily economic, but also may include some type of military cooperation.
While the world generally considers that Mexico and the rest of the Latin American nations are "developing", the fact is that they have truly been developing. Several are not only becoming economic powerhouses, they have been able to do this without the massive debt accumulations that many other nations have (like the U.S.A.). And while not all of Latin America is poised for major economic activity on the world scene, once major players such as Mexico, Argentina, Brazil (Portuguese: Brasil), and Chile develop a bit more, they will have an impact not only on the entire world, but also on the other Central and South American countries that they also trade with.
With the U.S.A. and its Anglo-Allies ultimately basically out of the picture, the future power of Europe will make Europe an economically attractive trading partner (and because of its military abilities in the future, it is likely to be an attractive military partner) to those in Latin America. (Thiel B. What's Ahead for Latin America?. COGwriter.com, October 22, 2008)
Europe is trying to move to fill in areas where Donald Trump has indicated he wants to change trade terms (see 'Trade apocalypse' will lead to the fulfilling of prophecies in the Book of the Apocalypse). This is giving Europe an opportunity that it would not otherwise have, not only with Mexico, but with the rest of Latin America, and even the world.
Mexico hopes that it can trade more with Europe and not be subject to the whims of the USA and its current president.
As it turns out, various ones in Mexico have long considered that the USA is an enemy nation.
Many in Mexico believe that the USA improperly took lands ranging from Texas to California and points in-between. They believe that they are entitled to receive that land back. It has been called the "reconquista" ("re-conquering" in English). Interestingly, the Bible teaches that the European King of the North power will takeover the USA and divide its land for gain (Daniel 11:39; see also Will the Anglo-Saxon Nations be Divided and Have People Taken as Slaves?)–Mexico will likely end up with at least some of its claimed lands back this century. And yes, I believe that Mexican troops will one day align with Europe.
I expect that Mexico will end up with at least some of its claimed lands back this century.
Mexico will get at least some of those lands back after the start of World War III.
Sound preposterous?
First notice that someone else has put together what Mexico would look like if it got its old lands back:
Now, notice the Hispanic population in the USA as put together by Yerevanci with the red line showing old Mexican territories:
Don't the two look similar?
As far as war goes, consider something that happened a century ago:
One hundred years ago today, the United States officially declared war on Germany and entered World War I. Days before the declaration of war, President Woodrow Wilson urged a special joint session of Congress to "formally accept the status of belligerent which has thus been thrust upon it."
Wilson had not wanted to do this. Indeed, he'd won reelection the previous fall as the antiwar candidate, running on the popular slogans "He kept us out of war" and "America First"—appeals to voters who wanted to stay out of a major European war and avoid a simmering conflict with Mexico.
But two events would change everything, and force Americans to accept that they could no longer avoid what had become a global conflict. The first was Germany's resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare on passenger and merchant ships. The second was the "Zimmerman telegraph," which revealed Germany's attempt to forge a secret alliance with Mexico against the United States, promising to help Mexico recover territory it had ceded to the United States following the Mexican-American War in 1848.
Both of these developments, like much of World War I, seem exotic and unimaginable today. A major military power attacking passenger ships with submarines? Mexico invading Texas? It's easy to think we'll never face such scenarios again, and we probably won't face those particular scenarios. But as distant and strange as the First World War seems to us today, the reasons Wilson changed course and declared war hold vital relevance to our national life in the twenty-first century, and we ignore or misunderstand those reasons to our peril. https://thefederalist.com/2017/04/06/americas-reasons-entering-wwi-resonate-today/
I do believe that Mexico will be willing to cooperate with a German-dominated power in Europe to invade the USA. Do not think it cannot happen. Mexico is pivoting towards Europe, while the USA has been pivoting away from both Europe and Mexico.
While in the short-run, the USA can take steps to seriously harm Mexico, it should be clear to all that the USA is seriously risking turning Mexico from an ally into an enemy.
Despite statements of hope that both sides will better get along, other statements by US President Trump and reactions from Mexican officials (as well as properly understood biblical prophecies) show that Mexico will end up with closer cooperation with Europe.
The final Time of the Gentiles is coming and it will NOT end well for the USA (cf. Daniel 11:39).
Donald Trump and Mexico's future Mexico has increasingly been in the news because of statements and policies of US President Donald Trump. Many in Mexico are not intending to sit back and accept whatever Donald Trump attempts to force them to do. What will happen to Mexico? Will it make trade deals with Europe? Will it ultimately go to was against the USA? Will the Mexican economy drop at times and then improve? Dr. Thiel answers these questions and more in this video.

Will they have prosperity? Will they cooperate with Europe? Will they suffer in the future? What role might the various Caribbean nations/territories play?
Trade Disputes: CCOG Warnings Are Coming to Pass Trade tensions and talks of trade wars have escalated. US President Donald Trump has put Europe, China, Mexico, and other lands on notice that he wants to change how international trade with the USA has been going. Tariffs, retaliatory tariffs, and even more tariffs are being implemented. Is this all just happenstance? Are we yet in a trade war? What will Europe do? Has the Church of God been warning about trade disputes and a coming trade war for decades? What about the Continuing Church of God (CCOG)? What has been warned, what has been happening, and what will happen? Will trade disputes be a factor in World War III (WW3)? Dr. Thiel explains what has been taught and what to expect.

What's better than a sleek ponytail in summer? A high, wavy ponytail of course. A vintage-inspired high ponytail can instantly add oodles of style to your overall look and is really easy to master. Take inspiration from the stylish Jacqueline Fernandez who has been sporting this hairstyle with élan. (PS: We love the front twist, which is oh-so-old Hollywood).
1. Shampoo and condition your hair with a volumising shampoo and conditioner. Next, spritz some texturing spray, scrunch your hair and let it air dry. This should give you a messy wavy look.
2. Next, pull your hair off your face and towards the crown of your head in a ponytail and place it as high as you would like to go. Brush or smoothen out any stray strands to maintain a clean chic look. Secure the ponytail in place with a rubber band.
3. If you want to add more waves, take random sections of the hair in the ponytail and curl them with a curling or crimping iron.
4. Now, take one inch section of hair from the underside of the pony and wrap it around the hair elastic to hide it. Secure with bobby pins.
5. For the front twist, take a small section of hair from the front and curl it using a curling tong. Comb through to loosen the curl and pin it on the side. Finish off with a hair spray to avoid flyaways.

Jaroslav Seifert (IFA: ) (Žižkov, 23 september 1901 – Praag, 10 januari 1986) was een Tsjechische schrijver, dichter en journalist. In 1984 won hij de Nobelprijs voor Literatuur

Seifert werd geboren in Žižkov, een voorstad van Praag in het toenmalige Oostenrijk-Hongarije. Zijn eerste bundel gedichten werd gepubliceerd in 1921. Hij was lid van de Communistische Partij en redacteur van een aantal communistische kranten en tijdschriften. In maart 1929 werden hij en zes andere belangrijke schrijvers uit de Communistische Partij gegooid. Dit was omdat ze een manifest hadden ondertekend tegen Bolsjewiekse invloeden in het nieuwe leiderschap van de Communistische Partij van Tsjecho-Slowakije. In 1949 verliet Seifert de journalistiek en begon zichzelf uitsluitend te concentreren op literatuur. Hij won verschillende grote prijzen voor zijn gedichten, waaronder de Nobelprijs.

Q: Using an Object with ream codable I have an application where I tried using UserDefaults to save a Codable model locally but the problem is that UserDefault does not store all the values of the Model and assigns nil to some of them and at times the proper value is assigned. So I decided to try an alternative which is realm and I am able to modify my model to work with realm but I have an issue not which is in the process of decoding an Object in an Object using realm. I was able to make it work when dealing with an Array object with List but non array Objects simply failed to map to JSON
below is a sample array that I am dealing with

The town of Aitoliko in western Greece is decorated for Halloween already. Spiderwebs are covering everything in a 1000-foot stretch of shoreland. The decorators are harmless stretch spiders. The weather was ideal for a population explosion. The spiders are taking advantage of the abundance of mosquitoes, and will basically eat, mate, and party!


"The Antitrust Authority has closed the preliminary investigation against the Irish carrier Ryanair in September 2017, ascertaining, as an unfair commercial practice, the fact that numerous cancellations of flights have been carried out due largely to organizational and management reasons already known to the airline -not dependent on occasional and exogenous causes outside its control-, provoking considerable inconvenience to consumers who had long planned their travels and already booked and paid for the relevant ticket.
To this is added the found misleading in the ways in which the carrier informed the passengers of the cancellation of the flights, since it proposed them two possible solutions (refund or ticket change) without adequately informing them of the existence of their (further) right to pecuniary compensation -if due- provided by Regulation CE 261/04 precisely in the event of cancellation of flights.
During the investigation, Ryanair, effective from February 2018, in compliance with the Authority's order in the precautionary measure decided in October 2017, changed its conduct, updating the information on its website, specifically in relation to the right to pecuniary compensation, as well as sending individual communications to interested consumers who have enabled them to fully understand all the rights due to them following the cancellation of flights and, consequently, to exercise them.
In consideration of this, the Authority adequately reduced the amount of the pecuniary administrative sanction imposed on the airline in the main proceedings, setting it at € 1,850,000, and decided to terminate the non-compliance procedure, without imposing any fine on the carrier".

Three Sisters @ Münchner Kammerspiele (Online Stream) Review
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Kammerspiele have been closed and it is uncertain when theatres in Munich will reopen. The current restrictions include the Easter holidays, which will end on 19th April, but there might be an extension. Like other theatres, the Kammerspiele provide streams of their productions via Kammer 4.
Courtesy of Judith Buss.
When Chekhov wrote Three Sisters in 1901, the pre-revolutionary bourgeois society was ignoring that radical changes were looming. They were focusing on themselves, whilst the working class was striving for emancipation. Masha, Olga, and Irina are part of this society. Living in the province, they dream of going to Moscow. Whilst the world around them is changing, they fear that their lives will remain the same and they will be forgotten.
Susanne Kennedy returns with a new and rather unique vision of Chekhov's play, her premise based on the idea of "what if we lived a single moment of our lives over and over again?" Kennedy watches as the three sisters perform on myriad stages again and again, but their story never changes, as if they were trapped in an eternal loop. Inspired by Nietzsche, the director wonders whether we would make different choices if we lived as if our lives were endlessly repeated, if life was experienced forever.
Kennedy places the three sisters in a time loop with past, present, and future happening at the same time. In a linear timeframe, there would be hope for the future, but Kennedy sees time as a circle, leaving the three sisters trapped in circumstances they cannot influence, yearning for liberation.
Chekhov's original text are radically altered for this production. The few remaining lines, along with trivial pop culture quotes, are recorded by speakers who do not know the context of their lines. Richard Janssen (sound design and voice montage) edits the recordings, using these different sounds to create his own composition. As often in Kennedy's productions, language is taken from the actors and they are all wearing masks, which separates them from their bodies. There is no clear narrative, and there are no protagonists. Kennedy, together with stage designer Lena Newton and video designer Rodrik Biersteker create a journey through different digital worlds and conditions, aiming for a Gesamtkunstwerk in 41 scenes.
As the performance begins, a polyphonic groaning and sighing is filling the auditorium. The three sisters, clad in white hoop skirts, their faces covered with black veils, appear in a box that seems to float in a sea of clouds. They remain stuck in the first act of Chekhov's play and are forced to endure variations of the same scene again and again. Sometimes the sisters are wearing their hoop skirts, at other times they are wearing neon-coloured turtleneck sweaters and jeans (costume design by Teres Vergho), looking like crash-test dummies with their bald heads and expressionless faces. The actors – Marie Groothof, Eva Löbau, Anna Maria Sturm, Walter Hess, Christan Löber, and Banjamin Radjaipour – keep on repeating the same lines in German and in English, occasionally interrupted by absurd dialogues titled "Reality" that introduce other topics. In one scene two stressed women talk about their boss and their deplorable love life. In another the essence of "genius" is discussed as we listen to thoughts about theatre and the circular form of time. A shaman also makes his appearance.
This production is visually stunning. Animated background images are creating digital worlds whilst a smaller screen disperses the actors into small pixels. Kennedy's productions often remind me of art installations with a strong philosophical foundation. Although her three sisters are trapped in a never-ending time loop, they do not seem too unhappy about living in a moment. 4/5
THREE SISTERS will return soon.

Apple's iPad will appear in Verizon, in addition to AT&T, retail stores starting Oct. 28. The appearance of a Verizon iPad suggests that a Verizon iPhone could be next.
Apple's iPad will appear in Verizon Wireless stores starting Oct. 28, the same day it goes on sale in archrival AT&T's retail locations. This marks yet another set of sales channels for the bestselling tablet PC, which will also debut at Walmart Oct. 15.
While AT&T has enjoyed a lock on both the iPad and iPhone in the United States, the appearance of a Verizon iPad suggests that the long-rumored Verizon iPhone could indeed be imminent. Both The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times have suggested in recent days that the Verizon iPhone will appear in early 2011.
Although the iPad has enjoyed strong sales since its April release, Apple faces a number of upcoming competitors in the tablet space, including Samsung's Galaxy Tab and Research In Motion's PlayBook.
Verizon stores will offer the WiFi-only iPad bundled with its Verizon MiFi 2200 Intelligent Mobile Hotspot, which creates a mobile-connectivity cloud for up to five WiFi-enabled devices. The 16GB iPad + MiFi (mobile WiFi) will retail for $629.99; the 32GB for $729.99; and the 64GB for $829.99. On top of that, Verizon will charge iPad users $20 per month for up to 1GB of data.
Those who want the iPad without Verizon's MiFi can apparently purchase the device on a standalone basis, presumably for the same price at which it is offered by Apple and its various retail partners.
"We're thrilled to be working with Verizon Wireless to get iPad into the hands of even more customers this holiday season," Apple COO Tim Cook wrote in an Oct. 14 statement.
Meanwhile, AT&T will begin selling the three 3G-enabled versions of the iPad, with the 16GB version retailing for $629; the 32GB version for $729; and the 64GB for $829. AT&T prices the iPad's domestic data plan at $14.99 per month for 250MB and $25 per month for 2GB, with unlimited access to the carrier's domestic WiFi hotspots.
In addition to Walmart, Target and Best Buy are offering the iPad in their stores. Analyst firms such as UBS Investment Research have predicted that tens of millions of iPads will be sold in 2011, providing a strong incentive for retailers of all persuasions to carry the device.
"People are willing to disproportionately spend for these devices because they are becoming so important to their lives," Brian Dunn, CEO of Best Buy, is quoted as saying in a Sept. 14 Wall Street Journal interview. "We are really positioning the company to be the place where people can come and see the best of the connected world."
Sales of Apple iPads are outpacing those of both iPhones and DVD players, according to one recent analyst note, putting tablets on track to become the country's fourth-largest consumer category. "The iPad did not seem destined to become a runaway product success straight out of the box," Bernstein Research analyst Colin McGranahan wrote earlier in October, according to CNBC. "By any account, the iPad is a runaway success of unprecedented proportion."


Rochester-based agency Partners + Napier is adding two group creative directors, a new role at the Rochester-based shop.
Creative Director Mike Baron, who started at Partners + Napier in 2005 as a copywriter, has been promoted to Senior Vice President, Group Creative Director. Baron will oversee creative work for Highmark Health Inc., BMW and MINI Financial Services, and Delta Vacations.
And Dan O'Donnell, most recently Creative Director at MARC USA in Pittsburgh, and a veteran of Arnold, MullenLowe and Hill Holliday, has joined the agency as a Group Creative Director. O'Donnell will oversee creative development for Keurig Green Mountain, BurgerFi, Conduent, Excellus BlueCrossBlueShield, Gannett, Friendship Dairies, Xerox, Bausch + Lomb, and Rochester Regional Health.
Both report to Pete VonDerLinn, Executive Creative Director.


Before we move to understand what is Global MBA; lets first understand what is MBA & why is it important. The Master of Business Administration (MBA or M.B.A.) degree originated in the United States in the early 20th century when the country industrialized and companies sought scientific approaches to management. The core courses in an MBA program cover various areas of business such as accounting, applied statistics, business communication, business ethics, business law, finance, managerial economics, management, entrepreneurship, marketing and operations in a manner most relevant to management analysis and strategy.
MBA Education is an important decision and one that requires considerable thought. Traditionally, MBA was an option considered only after a few years of work experience, with one of the many tony Business Schools in India. In India, however, many freshers opt for MBA right after their graduation and write Management entrance exams in their final year of graduation itself. An MBA education is for life and the aim of every aspirant is to get into an IIM or a top MBA college which are considered the holy grail of management education. According to Wikipedia, The Master of Business Administration (MBA or M.B.A.) degree originated in the United States in the early 20th century when the country industrialized and companies sought scientific approaches to management. The core courses in an MBA program cover various areas of business such as accounting, applied statistics, business communication, business ethics, business law, finance, managerial economics, management, entrepreneurship, marketing and operations in a manner most relevant to management analysis and strategy.
A Master of Business Administration, or MBA, enhances the skills of aspiring managers and business professionals. In the early 20s, as the nation was becoming increasingly industrialized, companies needed professionals with strong management skills to lead administrative operations and corporate initiatives in the workforce. In 1908, Harvard University offered world's first MBA degree, approached the concept of management from a scientific point of view; the degree identified a uniform set of skills to systematize the training for business administrators in any industry or field.
As business raises the bar for success, the B-school question is common for ambitious working professionals.
Future leaders and managers to create an international mindset.
Exposure of realities of global politics, economy, legal and culture.
However, with the birth of Globalisation, the branches of MBA as also evolved. Internationalization of MBA programmes has become a key goal for Indian B-Schools. Internationalization of MBA programme is the process of combining intercultural, international and global dimension into research, teaching, and service of institutions. It is done in order to enhance the quality of research, education and international exposure for each student. With today's managers required to possess skills to perform effectively across different markets, managerial education is going through a pattern shift both in terms of approach and ideology across the world.
Currently, a majority of B-Schools offer Global MBA programme that has a semester or minimum 18-20 weeks abroad. For instance, MYRA School of Business Mysore offers Global MBA programme in the twinning (1+1) format where Global MBA students spend their first year with MYRA at their Mysore campus and then move to Dalhousie University in Canada for their second year. According to Dr. Shalini Urs, Executive Director, Founder, and Chairperson, MYRA School of Business, "By enrolling in a Semester Abroad programme, you'll have the chance to see a side of your major that you might not have explored at home. You'll find yourself completely immersing in the education system of your host country is a great way to really experience and understand the people, its traditions, and its culture. Education is the centerpiece of any Semester Abroad trip—and choosing the right school is a very important factor".
As a business professional, one of the essential requirements of a job is to network with people. You never know which connection gets you more work. It is the best deal to make life-long friends and extend these partnerships beyond the classroom within the international ecosystem. Some of them may even head some top-notch organizations later in life.
What does Global MBA offer?
MBA with its international touch prepares future leaders and managers to create an international mindset so as to enable them to cherish global political, economic, legal and cultural realities to live and work across diverse cultures. For example, Management Development Institute (MDI) Gurgaon offers Post Graduate Programme in International Management (PGP-IM) in which the first phase of the programme is delivered at the MDI campus in Gurugram and the second is completed in ESCP Europe at the Paris, Berlin, Madrid, London, Warsaw, and Torino campuses.
The semester abroad covers aspects like Business Game, Team Building, Leading Teams and Organizations, Entrepreneurship, Creativity & Innovation, Ethics and CSR, Marketing and Business Analytics in a cross-cultural environment.
Eligibility: Applicants must have a minimum of two years' work experience and a previous four-year degree with a non-business educational background.
According to the placement r (SP Jain Global) Global MBA programme of 2017 batch, the average salary had increased by 14 percent as compared to last year, which was Rs. 16.52 lakh per annum and this year, the average salary of the batch are Rs. 22.52 lakh per annum.
According to the placement report, the top recruiter's list included Indian multinationals such as Tech Mahindra and Tata Trent along with global companies (specifically in Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Middle East) such as Societe Generale, TESCO, Hewlett Packard, Cummins, Salesforce, Henkel, JDA and Xchanging. The Consulting, IT and Logistics sectors were the biggest recruiters this season. The highest salary package offered was Rs. 48 lakh per annum. "At SP Jain, we believe that our success is measured by the impact of our graduates in the business world. Our alumni are leading cross-cultural teams, growing family businesses, developing digital initiatives, incubating new ideas, working with local governments, participating in community initiatives, consulting at Fortune 500 companies and traveling across the globe. They have done extremely well in the global workplace and that is why companies believe in our model, sums up Dr. Indu Niranjan, Dean, SP Jain's Postgraduate Programs.
With only around 4,200 seats in all IIMs combined, the competition is intense and the pressure high. Still, there are many other institutes which offer top class management education in India. One has to be careful though in choosing the right college because it is a huge investment both in terms of time (2 precious years of early career) and money (Top Business Schools fees range between Rs 10 – 20 lakhs).
Academic Strength– Faculty profile, Research and Innovation measures as the industry values a strong foundation in academics. MBA is not just a 'skills course'!
Corporate Interface– It's about simulated experiences, schools need to participate in corporate competitions and have a corporate presence on campus with lectures and seminars.
Placement History– This needs to show a clear growth trajectory (especially in placement packages). A good indicator would also be the lowest average salaries of last 100 students as well as the profiles and sectors offered.

In years long past, MBA curricula were very similar across different B-schools and universities, but with the number of postgraduate business degrees rising every year, schools have had to adapt their programmes to meet the evolving needs of both students and employers. In case of luxury, it is not easy to sell the product until it completely matches the level of the consumer, which is why the main idea is to let the consumer understand that there is no other brand that can match up to the expected standard. That is where Luxury brand management sets in. It revolves around very high brand awareness, how aggressively the brand is promoted or marketed. Starting from product quality, to the location where the stores are located, how the client is being treated, pricing of the product or the service, the brand ambassadors who are associated with the brand etc, are the factors that are taken into consideration while making brand a luxury and while promoting the same. Know More.
MBA education in India is expensive; especially when it comes to top MBA colleges in India such as IIMs, MDI Gurgaon or IBS Hyderabad. Even folks who are financially well-off in India have to take the support of educational loans in order to join the MBA programmes offered by top B-schools of the country. But does this mean that MBA is only meant for aspirants who are rich or can afford to take education loans? The simple answer is NO! Despite the high fees, when it comes to MBA courses, India's top B-schools have adopted a very inclusive admission process that gives equal chance and opportunity to MBA aspirants who face financial difficulties. India's top MBA institutes offer several scholarship opportunities to talented MBA aspirants to support them financially through their journey through the MBA world. Know More.
In economics, a luxury good (or upmarket good) is a good for which demand increases more than proportionally as income rises, and is a contrast to a "necessity good", where demand increases proportionally less than income. Luxury goods are often used synonymously with superior goods and Veblen goods. Luxury goods are said to have the high-income elasticity of demand: as people become wealthier, they will buy more luxury goods. This also means, however, that should there be a decline in income its demand will drop. Income elasticity of demand is not constant with respect to income and may change sign at different levels of income. That is to say, a luxury good may become a normal good or even an inferior good at different income levels, e.g. a wealthy person stops buying increasing numbers of cars for his or her automobile collection to start collecting airplanes (at such an income level, the luxury car would become an inferior good). Know More.
There is not one strict definition that will describe or qualify an MBA program when the term Global is used to describe an advanced degree program it typically has a diverse student body and an international angle of course materials and curriculum. An international university environment gives you a first-hand experience of meeting such a diverse crowd who come from various nationalities, communities, and languages. You can learn from them the how's, whys and what of starting a business and being successful at it. You'd know what may work and what wouldn't in your kind of environment. B-schools globally tend to nurture their alumni so as to have an extended network of their wards. You'd have access to such a huge alumni network too who can always counsel, mentor and even help you find a good job.
Until now, given a chance, every single student wishing to pursue their MBA from the likes of Stanford's and Harvard's of the world will jump at the opportunity. With the growing popularity of Global MBA, students have more options to choose from, and not limit themselves to only the biggest names alone. So far, a foreign degree shines brightly on your CV giving you an edge over other competitors at the workplace. Higher the ranking of the B-school you graduated from, better chances of your dream company hiring you. Also, in a good leadership role! You stand in moral stead to take over a role in senior management, as that's what a Global MBA degree trains you in. We've covered all aspects of Global MBA in other articles. Read them as well, rather than getting confused with these reasons.


Over the past year Jeff Fitzgerald and the Wisconsin Assembly went to great lengths to limit the public's ability to see them at work in the Assembly chamber. Many of their most recent and most extreme bills have passed under cover of darkness between the hours of midnight and 4am despite Governor Walkers campaign promise to outlaw such after hours lawmaking.
Despite the clear and unambiguous wording of this State Statute, the Assembly Rules, under a new (and unpublished) rule, forbid filming or photographing from the gallery.
Dozens of citizens have been arrested and charged with disorderly conduct for quietly filming their legislators on the Assembly floor.
In their efforts to limit what the public can see the GOP leaders of the Assembly have found a reliable ally in the timid Capitol press corps, whose governing body, the Wisconsin Capitol Correspondents Association (WCCA), acts as an enforcer of the Assembly rules d'jour, by denying or revoking press credentials of journalists who dare point their cameras at things Jeff Fitzgerald would prefer remain hidden.
Strict enforcement of rules in the public galleries, it appears, serves to protect lawless behavior on the Assembly floor by legislators themselves. In this video, not only do legislators blithely vote for absent members in apparent violation of Assembly rules – and in violation of the spirit, if not the letter, of the draconian anti-voter fraud laws these same people enthusiastically endorsed a few months ago – they also use cell phones and engage in other conduct banned in the Assembly, for which they have stridently upbraided members of the public who did the same in the gallery.
Does the public have a right to know what actually happens in the Legislature? Evidently the GOP leaders of the Assembly and the WCCA think not. Reaction to the video of Kleefisch voting for truant representatives, on the other hand, suggests that the public might disagree.
It's sad to see these people ghost voting, but it's even worse to feel there's not much the average person can do about it. Instead of spending time on Kony 2012, I wish more people paid attention to what's happening right here in Wisconsin. With whom do we find counsel when those making the laws are the ones breaking the laws?

Man in a Stolen Car Leads Missoula Police on a High-Speed Chase
Nick Chrestenson Published: November 1, 2021

Just before 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, Missoula Police received a report of a stolen vehicle. A woman reported that her vehicle was stolen from her driveway. At around 10:00 p.m. that night, officers were searching the area of North Reserve in an attempt to locate the stolen vehicle. Police Public Information Officer Lydia Arnold explains.
"An on duty officer located the stolen vehicle in a parking lot," Arnold said. "As the officer approached the stolen vehicle, the vehicle began to drive away. The officer activated their emergency lights and sirens. The vehicle failed to yield to the officer and the fleeing suspect, 23-year-old Isaiah Hausman, led officers on a vehicle pursuit travelling at a high rate of speed, endangering numerous drivers on the road, pedestrians, and people in the neighborhood."
Court documents indicate Hausman reached speeds of over 100 miles per hour as he attempted to evade the officer. As Hausman drove, one or more other cars on roadways were forced to alter driving behavior to avoid collisions.
"The fleeing suspect lost control of the vehicle and eventually took off on foot," Arnold said. "Officers were able to locate Hausman and took him into custody. Because of the high rate of speed and the vehicle getting into an accident with a pole, officers took Hausman to the local hospital for medical clearance before transporting him to jail."
At one point, Hausman turned onto the railroad pedestrian and bike path at the intersection of Mitchell Street and Sherwood Street. The officer saw Hausman leave the roadway and collide with an electrical pole.
With the help of a nearby neighbor who had seen where he went, Hausman was located hiding in an outbuilding structure near Zip Beverage off of Scott Street. He was hiding in the rafters of the structure.
The owner of the vehicle authorized a search of her car. Inside a purse in the vehicle, officers located approximately 10 used hypodermic needles. Debit cards in the purse belonged to other individuals, one of whom shared the last name of the defendant, Hausman.
Hausman is currently being charged with criminal endangerment, theft, and fleeing from or eluding a peace officer.

Roanoke Takes First Place On List of Top Cities For Recent Graduates, GoodCall
Consumer data firm GoodCall has compiled a list of the top cities for recent graduates, based on a varied array of data metrics. Roanoke, Virginia took first place on the list as the top city for recent graduates entering the workforce. From GoodCall:
"New grads might find it harder to land that first job if they aren't willing to consider moving to a new place. But moving blindly, without considering how well the new city will fit with one's lifestyle and preferences, could lead to months or years of unhappiness.
GoodCall analysts crunched data from 589 cities and towns across the country to determine the best places for new graduates. Most of the cities at the top – more than half of the top 30 – were mid-sized, with less than 100,000 people. While the best places were generally scattered across the country, there were few Northeastern cities at the top.
Factors considered include affordability, relative salary, entry-level jobs available, and local amenities.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development defines housing costs as affordable when they account for less than 30% of family income, and all but one of the cities in the top 10 are better than that.
New grads likely will fare better in locations where their new degree is valued, so analysts considered each city's overall median salary and compared that with the median salary for those with a bachelor's degree. And, of course, going where companies are hiring is a smart move.
But a lot of new grads make the mistake of taking a well-paying job in a place that turns out to be a tiny town with no nightlife, arts scene, or dining options. So the GoodCall list also takes into account the number of amenities per capita.
At the top of the GoodCall list was Roanoke, Va. The town of nearly 100,000 people in the beautiful Roanoke Valley ranked fairly highly for its amenities and the number of available entry-level jobs. There were 16.6 jobs posted on Indeed.com per 1,000 people in the area. People with bachelor's degrees tend to fare well in Roanoke, making about $42,900, or 48% more than the area's median salary. And the area's arts and culture scene is strong, with more than 350 amenities. Roanoke has several performing arts and events centers, which draw an array of local, regional and national performers, as well as breweries and wineries, shopping, and dining."

In this tutorial, we will look at using jQuery to call Twitter's API and then use the results to create a widget for a blog or personal website that shows what hours during the day we tweet at the most.

to generate a graph of tweeting hours.
When all is done, our widget should look like this.
There are quite a few extensive tutorials on the internet regarding jQuery and AJAX.
a function can be called (callback).
Before we can use AJAX, we need to construct the API URL that we'll be calling.
but for this widget, we'll only be performing a basic search.

The results coming back from Twitter resemble the following structure.

Notice that the objects which contain the data we want are child objects of a child object.

Recall that we will be creating a widget that shows a chart of our hourly tweets.
turning the "created_at" property into a Date() object then extracting the hour (0-24).
We'll keep an array called "usageData" which we will increment to keep track of how many tweets per hour.

we'll add a short summary line describing what the chart data represents (tweets per hour).

Steve McQueen may have nabbed a MoMA show before turning 30 and the Turner Prize two years later in 1999, but the relatively small sphere of the art world left him wanting. Now, with an Oscar on his shelf, he's found a new home and his true audience in Hollywood, argues Coline Milliard.
Although the three-curator format of this year's biennial doesn't lend itself to thematic cohesion, the presence of handicrafts throughout the floors pulls a thread through the show, reports Rozalia Jovanovic.
What do you need to make it through all the art fairs? A plan of action, stamina, and artworks with a sense of humor. Benjamin Sutton walks the Armory Show's Pier 94 and discovers artworks that help lower the fairtigue factor.
Following last week's initial group of must-know art spaces and gallerists in an ever-more professional art world in Brooklyn, Benjamin Sutton points out six more spots you'd be a fool to miss tonight at Bushwick-Ridgewood Armory Night, beginning at 6 p.m.
Does the Russian Incursion in Crimea Threaten the Cancellation of Manifesta 10?
While the Russian presence in Crimea continues and multilateral talks fail to diffuse the mounting Cold War–style conflict, the future of Manifesta, the roaming European biennial of contemporary art, looks increasingly precarious. A report by Alexander Forbes.
The 72 galleries may be more established uptown at ADAA, but emerging artists top the offering, reports Eileen Kinsella.
At the curator-driven alternative to Armory Week fair madness, downtown cool kids are showing art that exposes our over-connected digital lives, says Cait Munro.
The Jewish state has upped its restitution efforts at home and is providing an increasing level of assistance to museums and governments worldwide to help send artworks looted by the Nazis back to their rightful heirs, Alexander Forbes reports.

Release Hirak detainees in Algeria
The Algerian authorities are taking advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic to accelerate the pace of repression against Hirak activists, put its opponents in jail and silence the media. Call on the authorities to release all Hirak activists now.
Since February 2019 a peaceful movement has been taking place in Algeria. Known as the Hirak movement, these protests have called for radical political change in Algeria and protesters have faced repression from the government.
In response to concerns about the spread of COVID-19 pandemic, activists suspended the Hirak peaceful protests. Yet, the authorities did not suspend their prosecution of its activists. The government has cracked down on the movement by arresting and imprisoning many of them. The authorities are not only punishing them for their free speech, but also endangering their health given the risks of a COVID-19 outbreak in prison.
Between 7 March and 13 April alone, at least 20 activists were either summoned for interrogation by the police, or arrested and held in pretrial detention, or sentenced on charges based only on their exercise of their right to freedom of speech or peaceful assembly in different parts of the country. At least 32 people arbitrarily detained during the Hirak movement protests remain behind bars to date.
Sign this petition and demand an end to the crackdown.
Show your solidarity and ask Algerian authorities to stop arbitrary prosecutions of Hirak activists and immediately and unconditionally release all peaceful activists.
