By Sgt. Rachel Grothe 88th Readiness Division
CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio – Maj. Gen. Patrick J. Reinert served as the official representative for President Donald J. Trump during the wreath laying ceremony in Cleveland Heights on November 17, 2018, honoring the life and accomplishments of President James A. Garfield, born 187 years ago.
"Let us always remember President Garfield through his work and his words," said Reinert, under the shadow of the impressive sculpture of President Garfield. "I am privileged to place this wreath in honor of a life lived strong and true, James A. Garfield – teacher, congressman, Soldier, patriot and president."
The people of Ohio remember the hardworking self-made man that was selected for the presidential nomination during the 1880 Republican national convention on the 36th round of voting, after unsuccessfully campaigning for John Sherman. He was elected on merit, not rhetoric, nor a televised popularity contest.
"It's ironic that he was assassinated because he was doing a job that he really didn't want. Before he took office he asked his wife, Lucretia, if he should. His wife told him, if you're called to serve, then you should serve," said Katharine Goss, president and CEO of the Lake View Cemetery association, where President Cleveland and his family are interred.
He served just 120 days before being shot, on the 121st day of his presidency, and died 79 days after, of infection.
His time in office, though short, was productive, he worked to end the reconstruction period in the south, and advocated for the suffrage of black men. He advocated literacy for all Americans with public education. His legacy of the American dream is not forgotten.
"He is proof of what a person can do with education and hard work," said Dan Garfield, great-great-grandson of the president. "We want to celebrate his accomplishments, but they are not ours, we all have to work at our own accomplishments."
Something young boy scouts from troop 179 attending the ceremony are just beginning to learn as they look around in audible awe of the president's intricately detailed monument.
"I can remember seeing this as a child. It's an amazing place," said Tim Garfield, great-great-grandson, of the president, before the ceremony, where he and Gen. Reinert placed a wreath in front of the statue, one level above the President's casket.
The children at the ceremony celebrating the life of the last president born in a log cabin ensure the American people remember where steadfast hard-work, resourcefulness, and studious efforts in their learning, and ethical service can take them for generations to come.

Bob Bowman coy on Michael Phelps' place on relays

Penny Oleksiak edges Simone Manuel, Regan Smith sizzles again in Knoxville Regan Smith swims another historic backstroke time at Pro Series meet Allison Schmitt opens 2020 in fast form, bidding to join U.S. Olympic legends
The Olympic swimming competition starts Saturday, and it's still unknown when Michael Phelps will make his first splash of his fifth and final Olympics.
Phelps could debut in the 200m butterfly first round on Aug. 8. Or, if he's placed on the 4x100m freestyle relay team, despite not swimming the 100m free at the Olympic Trials, he would swim Aug. 7.
The U.S. coaching staff decides which swimmers make up relays.
U.S. men's head coach Bob Bowman (also Phelps' longtime personal coach) was asked Saturday by NBC Atlanta 11Alive's Matt Pearl what Phelps' chances were of being part of 4x100m and 4x200m free relays.
"I do know," Bowman said at a U.S. training camp in Atlanta. "I won't tell you."
Phelps made the U.S. Olympic team in the 100m and 200m butterflies and the 200m individual medley by winning those events at the Olympic Trials last month. By winning the 100m butterfly, he also earned a place on the 4x100m medley relay.
Phelps is guaranteed four events at the Olympics, but he could swim in as many as six if the U.S. coaching staff determines he's a strong option for either the 4x100m or 4x200m freestyle relays.
Phelps swam on both relays at the 2004, 2008 and 2012 Olympics, but he raced neither the 100m nor the 200m freestyle at the 2016 Olympic Trials. There is precedent for Phelps being put on relays after not swimming the individual event at Trials — in 2004 and 2012 he didn't swim the 100m free at Trials.

Rethinking Infidelity: Is It Time to Change Our Expectations?
It's the only commandment that is repeated twice in the Bible. "Once for doing it, and once just for thinking about it," says relationship expert Esther Perel. Infidelity is wrong, most of us would agree, but it's also something that will happen to most people, in some form, at some point in life. In her TED Talk out today, Perel points out that cheating has never been easier thanks to various apps and devices to connect us to others, but then again, keeping an affair a secret is also harder than ever due to the electronic information trail these same opportunities provide. And that's exactly why infidelity is such a hot topic for this generation: more people are being caught cheating than ever before. So, what does that mean for marriage, specifically? Are all of these affairs causing more divorces, or causing couples to confront and work through their issues?

So, what does that mean for marriage, specifically? Are all of these affairs causing more divorces, or causing couples to confront and work through their issues? Perel says:
*I look at affairs from a dual perspective: hurt and betrayal on one side, growth and self-discovery on the other—what it did to you, and what it meant for me. And so when a couple comes to me in the aftermath of an affair that has been revealed, I will often tell them this: Today in the West, most of us are going to have two or three relationships or marriages, and some of us are going to do it with the same person. Your first marriage is over. Would you like to create a second one together? *

1907 Harvester Case
A new court
darlinghurst_courthouser.jpg
Darlinghurst Courthouse was the location of the first case before
the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Court in 1906
By February of 1905 the new Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Court had a President, Justice Richard O'Connor, a High Court judge appointed for a seven-year term, and an Industrial Registrar, Gordon Castle. The Court was based in Melbourne, and progressively established registries in all State and Territory capital cities.
Early work of the court
In its first five years the Court made only six awards. A lack of official forms delayed the first registration of an industrial organisation and the first hearing did not take place until November 1905 in Sydney.
One of the most significant decisions of the early Court was made in 1907 when the then President, Justice Henry Bournes Higgins, set a minimum wage of seven shillings per day. Known as the Harvester Case, the decision by Justice Higgins not only set the first minimum wage standard for Australian workers, but also introduced the concept of minimum wages based on the economic needs of employees rather than an employer's capacity to pay.
This 'basic' or 'living' wage was based on a male breadwinner supporting a wife and three children in 'a condition of frugal comfort'. The decision was made under the Excise Tariff Act, rather than the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Act. It set a standard which was followed for decades to come.

Were your predictions about the election correct?
This is when people rally together to show their support AGAINST a particular principle or cause. Instead of vocally being 'pro' something, they come together to show that they are 'anti' something.
And it happened both ways in this election, with both parties falling prey to it.

Future Meat is cutting costs on mass production with an unlikely cellular approach
by Donavyn Coffey
Founded in 2018, Future Meat stayed under the radar until last fall when their Series A funding round raised $14 million—including a sizable investment from Tyson Ventures. Now, just two years in, the Israeli start-up is expecting a major scale up in early 2021 and is optimistic about being among the first to gain FDA approval thanks to an uncommon cellular approach.
Commercial scale has been Future Meat's priority from the start. "We know we can [culture meat]. The question is how much will it cost," said Yaakov Nahmias, Future Meat Chief Scientific Officer told me in an interview earlier this month. "Do you really want to make a $25,000 steak?"
Key to its plan to ramp up biomass and cut costs, is a unique choice of starter cells. While most cultured meat start-ups rely on some form of stem or muscle cell, the basic building block of Future Meat's products is the cell-type that makes up your connective tissue: fibroblasts.
"These are the cells that every time you get cut, they close that cut very fast," according to Nahmias, who developed the fibroblast technology in his university lab.
Stem cells are a popular candidate for cell culture because they can become any type of cell, but growing and maintaining them is very expensive, Nahimas said. "They're what we call phenotypically unstable." Meaning, stem cells don't stay stem cells for long. In nature, they're meant to be stem cells for a day or less before transforming into another cell type. To harness their potential or stabilize stem cells, many start-ups rely on gene editing, a method that Future Meat is avoiding.
Fibroblasts, on the other hand, are phenotypically stable making them less volatile and easier to grow in mass quantities. And Future Meat has an extensive patent portfolio protecting the way they grow and direct these fibroblasts. They can accelerate a natural process called spontaneous immortalization where the cells DNA rearranges so that it can divide forever. And "by adding some food grade molecules" to the cellular medium they can pressure "the fibroblast to become fat cells or muscle cells," Nahmias said.
Another key advantage of these connective tissue cells is that Future Meat can grow them in suspension, they don't require surfaces to cling to. Many other mammalian cells, like muscle cells (myocytes), need something to hold on to, a sort of scaffolding, when cultured. Culturing in suspension means no need for scaffolding and it significantly increases the biomass that can be cultivated in a single bioreactor. According to Kate Krueger, alternative protein consultant at Helikon Consulting, "Suspension cell culture has a lot of promise in reducing cost of manufacture."
Today, Future Meat bioreactor systems can reach yields of 33 percent, converting a third of their volume to mass every two weeks. "It's possible to grow the mass of 100 chickens every two weeks in a bioreactor the size of a standard refrigerator," Nahmias said. They're also working on a hybrid product, a combination of plant protein and bioreactor-grown fat cells that they can produce at two tons per week. By the second quarter of next year they expect peak capacity to increase to half a ton every two weeks and for that to triple again by the end of 2021.
For now Future Meat is all about getting to scale, market and a reasonable price point to validate their process and prove their tech. But the end-game for Future Meat is about developing a platform—think of it as the AWS of cultured meat. And the target customer isn't just a new meat industry, it's the old one.
The idea is to integrate their technology into the existing supply chain. Even individual farmers looking to diversify could include a bioreactor as part of their operations, Nahmias said. But he expects involvement from meat and ingredient giants like Tyson and Cargill will be what finally catapults cultured meat into the mainstream. Future Meats' game plan is to have the approved and affordable tech ready and waiting. "Because once it happens," he said, "it's going to move quickly."

Q: MVC Dependent List linked to model (not static list) I am having an issue getting a dependent list to work when linking to the MVC model.  In the other responses online they use static lists do demonstrate (which I can get to work), but I am missing this one last step to link to my real data.  When I do the code below, nothing happens.
My guess it is one simple line I need in the javascript part that I use to set the list (right under the "WORKS SO FAR" alert).  Or it seems there should be a way to just update the dropdownlistfor with my new selectlist (instead of using the each method to push one by one).
Controller:
public class EMPLOYEEsController : Controller
{
private ApplicationDbContext db = new ApplicationDbContext();
public ActionResult Create()
{
    ViewBag.STATEID = new SelectList(db.STATEs, "STATEID", "STATENAME");
    ViewBag.CITYID = new SelectList(db.CITYs, "CITYID", "CITYNAME");
    return View();
}

    [HttpGet]
    public ActionResult UpdateCity(string id)
    {
        SelectList CityList = new SelectList(db.CITYs.Where(x => x.STATEID.Equals(id)), "CITYID", "CITYNAME");
        return Json(CityList, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
    }
}

View:
@model myproj.Models.EMPLOYEE

@{
ViewBag.Title = "Create";
Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}

Create

@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
@Html.AntiForgeryToken()

EMPLOYEE

        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.CITYID, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })

}

@Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "Index")

@section Scripts {
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
}

A: CityList is your list of cities. However, you are trying to get the CityList.CityID. What you want is the CityId and CityName of the current city which $.each provides as the second parameter in the callback.
You should be able to get it with:
                   $.each(CityList, function (index, locationSelectItem) {
                        citySelect.append(
                            $('<option/>')
                                .attr('value', locationSelectItem.Text)
                                .text(locationSelectItem.Value)
                            );
                    });

While it makes sense to have StateId and CityId be SelectList since they will be used by the view, you should change your UpdateCity to return a List

After about 40 days of beta testing, Apple released iOS 4.4 on Monday, July 9, exactly one week after the release of the final beta.
Hidden in the iOS 11.4.1 update is the new USB Restricted Mode that Apple has introduced in the iOS 12 Beta and makes brute-force tools like GrayKey and Cellebrite completely useless. While the limited USB mode was released in iOS 11.4, it would take seven days for the iPhone to unlock to lock all USB accessories. This newer version limits this to just one hour.
Fixes an issue where some users could not see the last known location of their AirPods in "Find My iPhone".
Improved reliability when synchronizing emails and contacts and notes with Exchange accounts.
Apple's security update Web site still does not list iOS 11.4.1 so it's not immediately clear which security issues were fixed on July 9th. We will add everything here as soon as we know it. 19659002] However, if you want to make sure your data is protected as much as possible, we recommend that you upgrade to iOS 11.4.1 as soon as possible, even though you probably have not resolved the above two issues since the update to increase safety and to bring improvements under the hood.
In The Future In iOS 12, manually updating to new software updates is a thing of the past, if you wish. With a new feature, you can set auto-download and install updates to keep you up to date on the latest and greatest iOS release. If you want to try this feature now (and more), you can join the beta program with iOS 12 as a developer or beta tester.

Q: HTTP Compression Proxy I'm looking for a HTTP compression proxy. Basically, I need a proxy to compress images and text to be transferred over a slow internet connection when accessing the web. To put it into a diagram
CLIENT ---/fast local network/--- HTTP COMPRESSION PROXY ---/slow internet connection/--- WEB (e.g. Facebook, Wiki, Google)
I will be using Squid for caching but from what i've it does not support HTTP compresion (gzip, deflate)

A: A quick review of the documentation leads me to believe that squid will accept and cache compressed data from the servers.  Compressing images will likely be counter productive.  Most image formats are well compressed already and attempts to compress them usually increase the image size by the overhead of the compression algorithm.
You could use apache as proxy.  You should provide lots of disk space for squid to cache data.  Review the caching options carefully and watch your cache statistics.  I have found certain sites don't cache very well at all.

A: Do you realize that Image data does not compress very well.  It often takes more time in these cases to compress/transmit/uncompress than to simply transmit the image data without compression.

Q: Access virtual box hbase from windows java application Hi i am new to hbase and trying to practice it. First of all i would like to describe about system configuration.
BACKGROUND:
I am using Windows 7 and installed Oracle Virtual Box. Then installed ubuntu server on Virtual Box after that I installed hbase0.98-hadoop2-bin.tar.gz on ubuntu. I have configured hbase in standalone mode. My hbase-site.xml file is like:
<Configuration>
<property>
<name>hbase.rootdir</name>
<value>file:///home/abc/hbase</value>
</property>

<property>
<name>hbase.zookeeper.property.rootDir</name>
<value>/home/abc/zookeeper</value>
</property>
</configuration>

Now my hbase shell is working fine it creates table. I can put values and get them.
MAIN PROBLEM:
As stated I am using Windows so I wrote a simple program on eclipse in java to hit hbase (which is basically on virtual box). But I get following exception:
Exception in thread "main" org.apache.hadoop.hbase.ZooKeeperConnectionException: HBase is able to connect to ZooKeeper but the connection closes immediately. This could be a sign that the server has too many connections (30 is the default). Consider inspecting your ZK server logs for that error and then make sure you are reusing HBaseConfiguration as often as you can. See HTable's javadoc for more information.

My Code:
Code in main function is like:
Configuration config = HBaseConfiguration.create();
HTable table = new HTable(config, "myLittleHBaseTable");
Put p = new Put(Bytes.toBytes("myLittleRow"));

WHAT I WANT?
What am i doing wrong?
I there any way to access hbase(resided on virtual box) from windows java program?
PLUS:
I studied previously asked questions but none of them was working for me.
Any help would be very appreciative.

A: Have you tried to set the Network setting of your Virtual box to "bridged Adapter" instead of "NAT" ,
and then from your Host system , try to open browser and type "guestIP:Hbase_Master_Port"(192.168.1.100:60010 for example )  it should open the master administration page .

These mind-bending sketches stay with you
Miles Johnston's art mixes wild visuals with creative composition for a new vision of beauty.
This sketch, called Growth, is a metaphor of how biological life transforms over time
English artist Miles Johnston (opens in new tab) is a largely self-taught illustrator who recently moved to Sweden to study at an atelier.
Having finished his studies, he now works as a freelancer and also runs the Dirty Sponge podcast, in which he hosts unscripted interviews with his favourite sci-fi and fantasy artists.
He also recently created the cover painting for the new issue of ImagineFX (opens in new tab) magazine. Below, enjoy the artist's sketchbook, in his own words...
01. Kiss
I recently went through a big obsession with Klimt and this was a tribute to his painting, 'The Kiss'.
Sometimes a drawing doesn't have to be 'about' anything in particular; there were a lot of themes in my head when I drew this one, but I'd rather leave any interpretation up to the viewer.
02. Greetings
This was a double-page spread for the Moleskine Project #3 at Spoke Art Gallery in San Francisco.
The idea is that a portal opens up next to a young woman in a field as she is mourning the loss of a lover.
Tiny little creatures spill out of it that are equally fascinated and somehow sympathetic to her sadness.
03. Cyber Duck
Not much to say about this one… It's me poking fun at myself because I'm not very good at designing a lot of the concept art standards. So, Cyberduck.
04. Creeper
Artists have dedicated a ton of their work to glorifying the pain and longing of failed relationships and unrequited love.
I felt like making something to highlight the absurdity of our desires, especially when viewed on a truly cosmic scale.
Next to the infinity of everything, sometimes I feel more like a creepy horny puppet caricature than anything else.
05. Storm
I started this one evening and got progressively more drunk as I worked on it to try and really loosen up on the markmaking.
If you want to try something like this, get all the important focal points finished whilst still sober.
06. No title
I liked the way this looks in person. The graphite is shiny and the red pen is a lot more matte. As I moved it around in the light it reminded me of old shiny Pokémon cards.

IKEA is one of the most famous furniture stores in the world. It has been the leader in modern design and it has the best designers who keep inventing new and beautiful design with more reasonable cost. If you want to have a nice simple and yet still beautiful and modern kitchen, IKEA is your best solution. As fore cabinets, here are some IKEA kitchen cabinets buying hints for you.
IKEA is the one name comes in our mind when we are talking about a simple and budget friendly remodel ideas. Not only that IKEA kitchen cabinets come in easier DIY style arrangement which can cut down the installation cost to null, it also has the most effective space saver options. Most of its products are made to meet the simplicity and yet up to date of a new modern kitchen. There are various products lines in IKEA which you can choose and see for yourself on line or at stores. They all come with easy to understand manual and not to forget, a brilliant design with reasonable cost.
When it comes to IKEA kitchen cabinets, materials are the thing that you need to consider. They are indeed come from placard boards which are not real wood although they look like one. In this term, they might not last longer than the real one but with careful maintenance and treatment they can last longer than the regular one with the same price. Most IKEA products use medium quality ones but you can ask for the best quality in the products since some products are made from higher quality ones although with the same reasonable price.
The most famous IKEA kitchen cabinets systems are Akurum and Varde. Akurum cabinets system has a nice natural wooden look in built in style. this way, you have a clean, unbroken horizontals cabinets set. Its countertops can run unbroken along the entire spread of the base cabinets (except for intentional breaks like for sinks). It is built with continuous counters which enables you to have various options for your storage solution. It also has toe-kicks which gives space under the cabinets system with almost floating look which can enhance the appearance of your kitchen.
As for the second famous IKEA kitchen cabinets system, Varde, it has exposed legs and the bases are advertised as free standing and movable. This way, you can set them wherever you want and you do not need to make much effort to make your kitchen looks new any time you want. When it deals with an exposed legs, it also means that you need to clean the under cabinets area thoroughly since it is visible from outside. However, it also means that you can use this area as additional storage option by adding a simple box for storing potatoes or other things. With this system you do not have continuous countertop running from base to base which is easily to move around although it is not possible to do when it deals with electric, gas and plumbing system.


Ok — so I watch Project Runway, so sue me.
Last night was the single greatest Project Runway episode ev-ah!!
The front runner, Gretchen finally gets her comeuppance when the perennially up beat and diplomatic Tim Gunn gives her "what for"!
I don't know how much influence the producers have on this show as far as staging the drama, but if they staged this, they did a fantastic job.
The underdog of underdogs, "Casanova" won the competition this week. So despite the fact that he's the biggest whiner/baby on the show, it made for good drama.
One of the best part of the show was during the critique where the judges wanted to pick a loser to leave the show. Everyone and their mother wanted Gretchen to lose, and she came pretty close to it, seeing as how she was the team's de facto leader. Any comments to the contrary from her are so transparent. After promising to stick together as a team, almost everyone on Team Luxe threw Michael under the bus (but having immunity he was "safe" as long as he didn't mind a black and blue ego afterwards). And in hindsight, I'm pretty sure Gretchen pushed the "go Team!" aspect at the second critique because that would help her argument that she wasn't the leader of that steaming pile they called a collection. In the end, Gretchen and AJ were the last two members of their team standing, and AJ fell on the sword and accepted responsibility for his own work, forcing him to be the one to leave the show.
The icing on the cake was when Tim Gunn came in to say goodbye the the loser, pretty standard for this show, but he actually took a stand on the whole Team Luxe mess. He expressed confusion over why the losing team didn't stand up for themselves, and allow Gretchen to use and manipulate them all into doing what she wanted. It's the first time I've ever heard him blast someone, and it was in front of everyone, Gretchen could not crawl into a hole or argue that she wasn't to blame, it was pretty obvious almost everyone agreed she was the demon seed in this whole episode.

Q: How to use where method with null boolean I have a list like this:
[
    {'country': ' Wakanda', 'languages': null},
    {
      'country': 'USA',
      'languages': [
        {'language': 'English'}
      ]
    },
    {
      'country': 'Germany',
      'languages': [
        {'language': 'German'}
      ]
    },
    {
      'country': ' Ireland',
      'languages': [
        {'language': 'English'},
        {'language': 'Irish'}
      ]
    }
  ]

I try to create a new list that 'language' contains 'eng'toLowwerCase(), but the error is Failed assertion: boolean expression must not be null
So pls help me, this is the full code:
void main() async {
  List list = [
    {'country': ' Wakanda', 'languages': null},
    {
      'country': 'USA',
      'languages': [
        {'language': 'English'}
      ]
    },
    {
      'country': 'Germany',
      'languages': [
        {'language': 'German'}
      ]
    },
    {
      'country': ' Ireland',
      'languages': [
        {'language': 'English'},
        {'language': 'Irish'}
      ]
    }
  ];

  List filterList = List.from(list).where((e) {
    return e['languages']?.any((l) => l['language'].toLowwerCase().contains('eng').toLowwerCase());
  }).toList();

  print(filterList);
}

A: The callback to Iterable.where must return a non-nullable bool type.  Your callback potentially returns null if e['languages'] returns null:
return e['languages']?.any(
  (l) => l['language'].toLowwerCase().contains('eng').toLowwerCase()
);

The way to fix it is to handle null.  You can use x ?? y to provide a default value of y if x is null:
return e['languages']?.any(
  (l) => l['language'].toLowwerCase().contains('eng').toLowwerCase()
) ?? false;

I'll also point out that:

*

*toLowerCase() is misspelled.

*List.from(list).where(...).toList() is redundant and could be just list.where(...).toList().

A: Try something like this
  List filterList = List.from(list).where((e) {
    // Avoid check null valúes
    if (e['languages'] == null) {
      return false;
    }

    return e['languages']?.any(
        (l) => l['language'].toLowwerCase().contains('eng').toLowwerCase());
  }).toList();

Also you can validate language child value

A: void main() async {
 List list = [
  {'country': ' Wakanda', 'languages': null},
   {
     'country': 'USA',
     'languages': [
        {'language': 'English'}
      ]
   },
   {
     'country': 'Germany',
     'languages': [
       {'language': 'German'}
      ]
    },
   {
     'country': ' Ireland',
     'languages': [
       {'language': 'English'},
       {'language': 'Irish'}
     ]
    }
   ];

   List filterList = List.from(list).where((e) {
   try{
      return e['languages']?.any((l) =>
         l['language'].toLowwerCase().contains('eng').toLowwerCase());
      }).toList();
   }
   catch(e){
       return [''];
   }
   print(filterList);

\section{Introduction}
Giant radio galaxies and radio galaxies exhibiting evidence of restarted activity, the so-called 'double-double' radio galaxies are both testimony to the capability of jets and black hole spin axes to maintain long-term steadiness in their orientation.
On the other hand, there has been evidence as well as several suggestions of precessing jets and of jets that might have
flipped in orientation. Axis precession and flips may happen because of the influence of a nearby galaxy or as a consequence of a binary black hole merger \citep{eke78, mer02, cam07}. That jets can precess is already evident in the well-studied
galactic micro-quasar SS433 and inferred in radio galaxies such as 3C123 (also 3C294, \citet{erl06}). However, though simulations of binary black hole mergers have revealed that flips in jet axes are plausible mechanisms, there are few conclusive observational examples where an axis flip may have occurred (e.g. the triple double source 3C293 \citep{chi96} and 4C+00.58 \citep{hod10}). Detecting a flip in jet axis via morphology requires that the source be active along a previous axis for long enough time to have created extended lobes that survive as distinct relics that are visible in radio or X-ray images. Although morphologies of X-shaped radio galaxies may suggest occurrence of such an axis change there are several problems with this inference as being a general formation mechanism for this class of sources \citep{cap02, sar09, hod11}. Examples of radio galaxies
with radio morphological evidence for changed axes between activity epochs are rare.  More discoveries of potential examples where axes have changed over time are needed since they form a valuable resource for understanding the occurrence rate of perturbations to the black hole axes and for examining timescales and conditions under which the axes change.

We present radio observations of the 1.10-Mpc giant radio galaxy B0707$-$359 (redshift, z=0.1109; \citet{mal13}. The radio source is an unusual giant
in that it represents a case of an AGN that appears to have restarted with a changed axis. We have imaged this source in the radio
as part of a study of the ambient intergalactic medium using a sample of giant radio galaxies \citep{mal13}.  We adopt a flat cosmology with Hubble constant $H_{0}$ = 71~km~sec$^{-1}$~Mpc$^{-1}$ and matter
density parameter $\Omega_{m}$ = 0.27.

\section{Observations and Results}

The radio source was observed simultaneously at frequencies 1.4 and 2.3~GHz in several array
configurations over several days using the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA).
A log of the observations is given in Table~1. The observations were carried out in total intensity and
polarization. The observations of the source were interspersed with short 1.5 to 4~min observations
of a suitable secondary calibrator B0727$-$365. The flux densities were set based on the known flux density
of the primary calibrator B1934$-$638, which was observed once at the start  of the observing run.
The source was observed for a total of 53.4~hr. Standard data
reduction procedure was followed using MIRIAD in obtaining the final images.  The data was
phase self-calibrated to improve the imaging dynamic range. The final images are
presented in Figs.~1-3.

The total intensity maps at  1384 and 2368 MHz are shown in Figs.~1 and 2; the radio morphology is a remarkable double-double structure: twin, very dissimilar lobe pairs that are skewed
with respect to each other by as much as 30 degrees.  The outer lobe pair is asymmetric in extent from the center and the lobes are dominated by bright hotspots at their ends. The second inner lobe pair is shorter in extent, diffuse and much fainter in surface brightness and quite symmetric about the core.  These inner lobes are  edge-brightened; however, they show no evidence of hotspots in either lobe.

The polarization distributions are shown in both figures overlaid as vectors representing the electric field.  The vectors have been corrected for Faraday rotation, which was estimated using the polarization data at 1384 and 2368 MHz. The polarization data reveals both pairs of lobes to be strongly polarized: the diffuse lobes have a mean percentage polarization between 10 and 20 per cent. In these lobe regions the projected magnetic field vectors are oriented parallel to the lobe edges.

Fig.~3 shows the spectral index distribution over the source. The spectral index distribution was computed using the
1384~MHz total intensity image and a separate low-resolution 2368~MHz image, which was produced from the calibrated data described  above with the spatial frequency range truncated to a maximum of 28~k$\lambda$ so that the resulting image is matched in resolution to that of the 1384~MHz image. The limiting of the visibility coverage resulted in a reduction of the angular resolution from the 12~arcsec of Fig.~2 to 16~arcsec. The reduced resolution image was separately self-calibrated to improve the image dynamic range. The 2-point spectral index  map shows a generally steepening spectral index distribution towards the core region in the NW inner lobe.
The hotspots at the ends of the outer lobes have the expected flatter spectra.  The core has an inverted spectrum ($S_{\nu} \propto \nu^{\alpha}$; $\alpha= 0.44$), which is not uncommon in radio galaxies \citep{sle94}.

In Table~2 are listed some observed and derived properties for the source.

\section{Discussion}

The relatively flat spectrum hotspots at the ends of the lobes are clearly the sites of termination shocks where jets from the center currently end.  The open question is the past evolution of the jets and their axes, which has implications for jet continuity and axis stability.  Did the source experience an abrupt increase in hotspot advance speed, leaving behind the diffuse inner lobes  and rapidly advancing to form the current hotspots? Do the inner lobes represent backflow of relativistic plasma from the sites of current hotspots, that are now along an axis offset from the current jet axis because the backflow has been deflected by the thermal halo associated with the host galaxy?  Or do the inner lobes represent relic relativistic plasma that was deposited at their current sites by jets that were along the axis of the inner lobes in a previous epoch of activity?  In the subsections below we consider these alternatives in the light of the observations presented here.

The giant radio galaxy has prominent hotspots at the ends and has lobes that remain relatively narrow over some distance towards the core before flaring in
opposite directions.  The NW and SE inner regions may be interpreted as flared parts of the radio lobes, which are recessed and confined to the vicinity of the core, with the outer regions viewed as protuberances.   In this picture, the lobes on both sides have a bottle-neck appearance. Such a morphology has been observed in several prominent  3C radio galaxies (e.g. 3C33, 3C79, 3C132, 3C184.1, 3C234, 3C349, 3C381 and 3C390.3). Such sources with protruding hotspots have been speculated to form because of either a sudden drop in the ambient medium density or sudden increase
in the jet density or power or in the steadiness of the beam (\citet{lea91, har97}); these circumstances result in a step increase in advance speed of the hotspot.

As we trace the outer lobes from the hotspots towards the core, the flaring in the form of the inner lobes first occurs at similar distances of about 250~kpc  from the core. These flared regions are very similar in appearance and extend in opposite directions. They are collinear
with the core forming an axis which is offset from the axis defined by the hotspots by an angle of about 30~degrees.
They are both well-bounded at their
leading ends and have projected magnetic field vectors that run parallel to the edges. All these characteristics
of the flared regions suggest a resemblance in several respects to
radio lobes rather than the central flares and distortions seen in radio galaxies \citep{lea84, sar09}. The two
emission regions also appear to lack compact features and they have a relaxed appearance with relatively low
axial ratios.

The giant radio galaxy B0707$-$359 displays a structure that has both inversion symmetry and a marked offset between the outer and inner lobes. Any explanation proffered for the radio structure we observe in B0707-359, whether in terms of a sudden drop in the ambient medium density or sudden increase in the jet density or power or in the steadiness of the beam, will need to take into account the offset in axes between the inner and outer lobes.

\subsection{Is the structure in B0707$-$359 caused by abrupt changes in ambient medium?}

For an abrupt change in density of the ambient medium to be responsible for the narrow protrusions of the two outer lobes, the density change will not only have to occur at the large distance of nearly 250~kpc from the host galaxy but the change will need to be such that it also deflects the two
jets inversion-symmetrically in opposite directions. While density changes in the associated thermal halos of elliptical galaxies may occur symmetrically on both sides, they are unlikely to occur  at such large distance from the host. The change in ambient density is also required to occur at more than twice the distance over which bottle-neck structures are observed to appear in the other examples known in the literature. More significantly, the lack of abrupt bends in the two outer lobes (suggestive of deflection as they emerge out of the inner lobes) and the common axis they appear to share pose a difficulty for this model. It is more likely that changes in jet properties instead may be responsible for the peculiar
structure of B0707$-$359: either an increase in jet density (hence power) or in its steadiness, accompanied also by a change in the axis of the jets.

\subsection{Is the structure in B0707$-$359 caused by deflection of backflows?}

Deflection of backflows in a thermal medium associated with the host galaxy has been suggested
as a mechanism by which inversion-symmetric central distortions in radio galaxies (type-2 distortion; Fig.~6(a);  \citet{lea84})
as well as the 'wings' in X-shaped radio galaxies (XRGs) may be produced (e.g. \citet{lea84,wor95}). Could the same physical process
also be responsible for the offset inner lobes in B0707$-$359? Given the presence of prominent hotspots at the ends of the outer lobes
strong backflows are expected. However, the backflows appear to stop well short of the core and instead deviate from the main axis
at scales of more than two hundred kiloparsec from the core on either side. This is in sharp contrast to
the features commonly seen as central lobe distortions in samples of radio galaxies or the wings in XRGs. Moreover, the two inner lobes in 0707$-$359
as already described are edge-brightened, well-bounded emission regions offset at a relatively small angle with respect to the main radio axis all of
which also contrast with properties associated with commonly seen distortions in radio galaxies or XRGs. Given the strong differences the thermal halo may not
have a major influence on the backflows.

In the context of the reported geometrical relationship between the host optical axes and radio axes of radio galaxies \citep{cap02, sar09}
where radio galaxies with both prominent central distortions and XRGs were found to predominantly lie closer to the host major axes it would be
revealing to examine the relative orientations in B0707$-$359. Given the arguments presented against backflow deflection mechanism in the
formation of the offset structures in B0707$-$359 such a major-axis orientation of the radio axis is not expected. Instead, given the propensity
of giant radio galaxies to lie with their radio axes closer to the host minor axes \citep{sar09} it suggests a minor-axis orientation for B0707$-$359.

Using available data we have estimated the major axis position angle of the host galaxy. GALFIT (version 3.0.5) was used to fit the image of the B0707-359 optical host detected in DSS (red), 2MASS and Swift (V-band) data.
Four Swift V-band datasets were summed to form a single image, with a combined exposure time of 1117s, using the HEASOFT programs UVOTIMSUM and XIMAGE. For each image, the plate scale in arc-seconds per pixel and photometric zero-point were set, and the sky background in the fitting region in ADUs and integrated magnitude for the host were estimated. The position angle of the host elliptical galaxy (as measured by GALFIT in degrees from north through east) is 78, 82 and 72 using the DSS, 2MASS and Swift data, respectively. While in all the datasets the host galaxy counts may be affected by light from a nearby bright star to the east, the 2MASS image has a relatively poor signal to noise ratio and may be less reliable. The derived major axis position angle (offset by nearly $55\degr$ with respect to the outer double radio axis, considering DSS and SWIFT data) agrees (1) with our reasoning above against formation of the offset lobes as a result of backflow deflection (where the radio axis is expected to be located closer to major axis) and (2) with the expectation of a closeness with host minor axis for the axes of giant radio galaxies  \citep{sar09}.

\subsection{Has there been an axis flip in B0707$-$359?}

The more simplistic scenario for the source structure we observe in B0707$-$359 is that the source may have experienced a
flip in the jet axis between two epochs of activity. The source was initially
active along the direction of the inner lobes and the jet activity then switched off for a period of
time after which it again became active but along a different direction that is offset by about 30 degrees to the
north west.  Restarting---the switching off and switching back on of the AGN beams---in radio galaxies is today a well accepted model that has been established to occur in several cases and has
accumulated much support over the years \citep{bri86, roe94, chi96, sub96, sch00, ode01, sar02, sar03, sar05, mar06,
sai06, jam07, bro07, jam09, mar09, blu11, sar12, gia12}.  Additional evidence comes from the examples of and formation scenarios for multiple pairs of X-ray `holes' associated with AGN at the centers of galaxy clusters and groups \citep{mcn07}.

Our two-frequency spectral-index distribution unfortunately does not allow a clear picture to emerge. If the two inner
lobes are the relics of past activity, not only should they have steeper spectral indices compared to the rest of the
source, they should also have spectral gradients with steeper spectral indices towards the central regions. Both inner lobes
do have steeper spectral indices on average than the outer lobes, although only -0.9 compared to -0.8 in the outer lobes.
However, the spectral index distribution (Fig. 3) does not clearly show the expected steepening towards the
central regions; while NW inner lobe may have such a trend, such a behavior is not apparent in the case of the SE inner lobe. Regions of flatter
indices are noticed in both the inner lobes along the main radio axis (formed by the outer hotspots) possibly indicating influence of younger jet
material associated with the outer lobes. Whereas further away from the common emission regions of both NW and SE inner lobes prominent areas of steep spectral indices of -1 to -1.2 are indeed seen.

The source morphology, polarization structure and to a lesser extent the spectral index distribution are all consistent with the
likelihood of a restarting of activity in this source where the new jets have emerged along a changed direction.
We also note here that the integrated radio power of the inner lobe pair alone (Table~1) is comparable to that of radio galaxies, being close to the dividing line between edge-brightened and edge-darkened radio galaxies.
Here we pause and ask
whether the inner double, with its low lobe axial ratio, lack of hotspots in an
edge-brightened structure and circumferential magnetic fields, may instead be a lobed FR-I like 3C~296 or NGC~326 rather than being the relic of a previous FR-II episode (and hence suggesting instead an axis change from outer to inner double). This possibility however is less likely because of absence of prominent twin-jets found ubiquitously in FR-I sources.
Taken together with the short lifetimes of hotspots seen in the outer double (few $10^{4}$ yr) and the age of the weaker episode (powered by slower jets),
the inner double is unlikely to be a lobed FR-I. This is supportive of the jets initially being located along the position angle of the inner double and then rotating to the axis of the outer double.

A change in the direction of the jets when restarting in a new epoch is not common. Most examples of radio galaxies with restarted
activity show jet axes that have remained unchanged. The few examples where a changed jet direction is
recognized are the well known triple-double source 3C293 \citep{chi96} and the more recent example of
4C+00.58 \citep{hod10}. In these examples the emission regions corresponding to the two epochs are distinct whether in
morphology or physical separation or stage of activity (e.g. in 3C293) lending a strong case for change of axis after
a switching off of the central beams.

The morphology of the older epoch emission will depend on the time for which the
jets have remained switched off (the quiescent time).  In B0707$-$359,
if indeed the inner pair of lobes represent older activity, the quiescent time may not have been long because the lobes are well-bounded
over their 250~kpc extent although they lack hotspots and have low axial ratios. Using an equipartition magnetic field of about 2.5 micro-Gauss
\citep{mal13} for the inner lobes and the fact that the break frequency is above 2.3~GHz the upper limit to the source age is derived to be $10^{8}$ yr.

A pronounced asymmetry (of 1.47) is seen for the outer lobes which is not seen for
the inner pair. Because of the rather similar appearance and symmetric extent of the inner lobe pair, we may expect that there is little asymmetry in the properties of the external medium over a distance of at least 250~kpc from the host galaxy. For the environment to be responsible for the asymmetry in the extents of the outer lobes, the medium on scales larger than 250 kpc must be asymmetric. While this is possible, we discuss below an alternate and more likely origin for the asymmetric appearance. The available optical images are not of sufficient quality to assess the neighbouring galaxy environment. This is being studied as part of a separate program involving a larger sample of giant radio galaxies (Malarecki et al. in preparation).

The alternate origin for the asymmetric appearance of the outer lobes involves light travel-time effects. It is
likely that the new and current jet axis is not in the plane of the sky. A current jet axis with the approaching
side towards the SE will result in a longer extent for that lobe compared to the opposite NW side because of
light travel-time effects. For inclined jets to give rise to a pronounced asymmetry the
advance speeds of the hotspots will need to be relativistic.
The optical spectrum of the host galaxy does not show broad emission lines \citep{mal13}, which suggests that the axis of the AGN is inclined by more than $45\degr$ to the line of sight.  To produce the observed asymmetry of 1.47 in the ratio of the apparent projected lengths of the two outer lobes, a head advance speed of at least 0.27$c$ is necessitated by the constraint on the inclination angle: larger and unrealistic advance speeds are required to explain the asymmetry ratio if the inclination angle is much greater than $45\degr$.  This argues for an inclination angle close to $45\degr$ along with advance speed close to $0.3c$.
It is possible however that the AGN lacks a broad line region altogether. In such a case the constraint on the inclination angle is relaxed to allow angles smaller than $45\degr$ and the head advance speeds required will be lower, although still remaining relatively high.

The rather high advance speeds of the ends of the outer lobes suggest a relatively young age of 6~Myr for the Mpc-size outer double. Additionally, it may be noted that such high advance speeds have rarely been inferred for jets interacting with the ambient intergalactic medium: it is instead in the case of hotspots linked with restarting jets advancing in relic cocoons that such large advance speeds have been suggested \citep{saf08}.

This model also expects that the approaching hotspot would have an increased flux density compared to the receding hotspot because of relativistic beaming of the hotspot emissions.  However, for inclination angles close to $45\degr$ along with advance speeds close to $0.3c$ the expected hotspot flux ratio is 4.3, which is well above the observed ratio of 1.6 (ratio of the brighter peak in the SE lobe to the NW hotspot peak).

Here we point to the curious non-collinearity of the hotspots in the two outer lobes with the core as well as the multiple hotspots observed at the SE end. The SE hotspots are displaced to the east with respect to the axis formed by the core and the NW hotspot. This is in the same direction as that  suggested above for the axis flip of $30\degr$ from the direction of the inner offset lobes to the outer lobes.  We may understand the angular offsets between in the inner relic double and the outer hotspots, as well as the offsets between the hotspots at the two outer ends, by a model that invokes a clockwise rotation of the axis of the radio jets over time.

From the angle of non-collinearity of about $10\degr$ between the NW and SE outer hotspots and the light travel time difference of nearly 2.5~Myr required to produce the seen asymmetry in extents of the two outer lobes we infer a clockwise rotational speed of about $4\degr$~Myr$^{-1}$ for the ejection axis of the radio jets. In this model that invokes episodic jets along with a rotating ejection axis, the inner double was created at an earlier epoch and is observed today as relic lobes defining that past axis orientation.  Subsequently the axis rotated and a new activity episode resulted in the observed hotspot at the NW end and a corresponding hotspot along that axis to the SE.   A southern extension from the current SE hotspot (Fig.~2) might be the remnant of that SE hotspot.  Continued episodic activity as the axis continued to rotate clockwise resulted in the bright hotspot at the SE end; the counterpart of this activity is yet to be observed at the NW end owing to light travel time delay in that receding lobe.

This brightest hotspot in SE end is currently diminished in brightness because the jet in that lobe is already moving on to feed another hotspot at an advanced rotation angle; this sharing of the beam power may be a reason for this SE hotspot to be fainter compared to the expectations derived above for the inclination angle and advance speed.  Additionally, since the sound  crossing time for a 1~kpc hotspot is expected to be only $10^4$~yr, the hotspot flux will be variable on that timescale unless the beam is stationary in power and orientation.  For these reasons, it is difficult to relate the hotspot flux ratio to the Doppler
factor.

In the model proposed above the black hole spin axis rotates at a speed of  $4\degr$~Myr$^{-1}$ and at this speed it would have taken about 7~Myr to change from the direction of the inner relic double to the axis defined by the outer bright hotspots.  Adding to this the dynamical age of the giant radio source, we infer that the relic inner lobes are at least 13~Myr old.  This is consistent with the upper limit of $10^{8}$ yr derived above for the age of the inner double.

The 14-195~keV X-ray luminosity reported for the source identified with the B0707$-$359 host galaxy in the Swift/BAT hard X-ray survey allows us to compare with the kinetic luminosity in the jets of GRG as a consistency check for the scenario considered above (that the active jets are presently oriented along the GRG and the source may be growing with a high advance speed of 0.3c).
We use the equipartition pressure derived for the inner lobes (we assume the same in the extended regions of the outer lobes) together with the dimensions of the outer lobes (625~kpc for the SE~lobe and 440~kpc for the NW lobe with a common width and depth of 100~kpc) and the estimated age for the GRG of 6~Myr to derive a jet kinetic luminosity of $1.9 \times 10^{44}$ erg s$^{-1}$ (for the SE jet) and $1.3 \times 10^{44}$ erg s$^{-1}$ (for the NW jet). These values compare well with the (14-195~keV) hard X-ray luminosity of $4.8 \times 10^{44}$ erg s$^{-1}$ for the AGN.

Some aspects of the scenario sketched above that we did not address are what causes the jets to rotate between the jets forming the relic lobes and the jets beginning to drive lobes in new directions and whether the jets could have been active throughout the rotation instead of discrete activity episodes that
created the inner and outer lobe pairs. \citet{den02} discuss the causes of jet axis rotation that include on one hand change in accretion disk angular momentum
(e.g. due to gas driven by minor merger) as the primary cause and on the other hand change in black hole axis (due to a past major merger) being the main driver. In either case the visible signs of the past events may not be strong and the estimated timescales for the jet axis rotation can range from half Myr to $10^{7}$ yr. As for the continued jet activity during the rotation, we cannot rule out the possibility and instead there may be some support for it in the
form of lack of clear trends as well as shallower than expected inner lobe spectral index distribution. Clearly, in the morphology of GRG B0707$-$359, we may be witnessing a consequence of jet rotation. Timescales, causes and effect on AGN activity all need to be further understood. B0707$-$359 may be a good candidate to explore these aspects of AGN physics.

In an altogether different scenario to explain the source structure there is the possibility that the inner and outer lobe pairs represent manifestations of two separate but close AGN whose axes are offset from each other (\citet{lal07}). As yet however there has been no
convincing case of such a close pair of AGN both of which are also radio galaxies (3C75 known for its dual radio source structure has AGN cores
that are separated by more than 7~kpc). There are several studies and programs however that are attempting to identify cases of close pairs of supermassive black holes and a few strong candidates have been reported where there are two VLBI cores \citep{fre12, rod06}.

In the study of the extended structure in GRG B0707$-$359 presented here a few tests will be interesting and useful to carry out. For example if the inner double
is indeed a relic source mapping it with higher resolution is not expected to reveal bright jets. Again, if the radio jet is aligned $45\degr$ to the line of sight then we expect in a high resolution optical/IR observation to see presence of broad emission lines in polarized flux. Also it will be useful to
carry out VLBI observations of the core to check for presence of twin cores which are expected if the peculiar structure is because of two nearby AGN.

\section{Summary}

We have presented radio continuum observations in total intensity and polarization of the giant radio galaxy B0707$-$359.
The source has an unusual morphology in that two radio lobe pairs are recognized which are offset from each other at an angle of
30-degrees. Not only that there are two lobe pairs and that they are offset from each other, the new lobes are both of bottle-neck nature and protrude well out of the 250~kpc inner lobes to different distances. We have tried to understand how the source structure may have formed and we have presented
arguments that lead to an internally consistent scenario for the formation of the source morphology as that of an AGN which has restarted its jets with the new and current jets propagating in a direction different from the original jets.  We infer that the AGN has restarted its jets in an offset direction; moreover, we also infer that  the new direction is not in the plane of the sky. The location of the giant radio galaxy axis defined by the hotspots, along an angle closer to the host minor axis rather than the major axis, supports a restarting and axis-change model for the formation of the structure we see in B0707$-$359. It is also consistent with a previous study suggesting a preference for giant radio galaxies to develop closer to host minor axes \citep{sar09}.

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
How many cases like mine have you handled?
How often do you settle cases out of court?
What are your fees and costs?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.

10 Dances With Fascinating And Unexpected Histories
Dance is an important facet of a culture, so it's no surprise that some dances have extremely rich and unique histories. Many emerged not from the joyous celebrations where they would later be performed but from much darker times of a people's past.
Dance was a way to escape oppression or to express oneself when society silenced you. And even when a dance is just fun and games, some people still find a way to twist it into something it was never meant to be.
10 Gumboot Dancing
During the apartheid period of South Africa's history when racial segregation laws were instituted purely to keep whites in power, black mine workers were forced to toil in dangerous conditions. Aside from many mines forbidding their workers from even speaking to each other, the white mine owners deemed it cost-inefficient to deal with the mines' flooding problems. Instead, they gave their workers gumboots (rubber boots) to avoid health problems that would prevent them from working.
Not being able to speak was an impediment to work, and the employees quickly devised a Morse code style system to communicate by slapping their boots with their hands to send messages. It seemed to have been catchy because the workers eventually developed this system of slapping their gumboots into a style of dance.
The miners came from diverse parts of Africa to work, so a variety of cultures added to the creation of gumboot dancing. Tribal costumes were outlawed during that dark time in South Africa's history, but the movements of the traditional dances were incorporated into a style that flourished into a new kind of dance.[1]
Dancing was not under the rules that mine operators controlled. As a result, songs were also incorporated into the style as it developed into the whole body dance that it is today.
9 The Dance Of Death?
The dutty wine is a dance started in Jamaica that involves wild gyrations of the neck. The dance is so intense that some Jamaican doctors are cautioning would-be dutty winers not to perform it. Physicians say that the dance, particularly the neck twirling, causes too much stress on the spine and can harm to the dancer.
Some doctors say that the dance may be performed without issue with appropriate training, but others maintain that the movements are dangerous no matter how much physical preparation the dancer has done. They warn that the dance places too much strain on the neck and spine to walk away without injury.
Nevertheless, the dance grew in popularity when Jamaican DJ Tony Matterhorn created a song of the same name. The dance spread beyond Jamaica and eventually overseas, where Beyonce also used it in one of her videos.[2]
This happened despite rumors that the dutty wine was the cause of one 18-year-old's death. Allegedly, she was doing the dutty wine when she died in a dance house. However, it is unclear if the dance itself was responsible for her death or if the blame lay elsewhere.
8 The Hokey Pokey
200 Years Old And Hotly Contested
It is odd that "The Hokey Pokey" (aka "The Hokey Cokey") would be anything but a simple, fun song that everyone knows, enjoys, and does a little dance to. But it actually has a long, complicated, and contested history.
One of the earliest versions of the song was the "Hinkumbooby," a Scottish folk song mentioned in the 1826 Popular Rhymes of Scotland. This variation was similar to the modern song, and other versions were likewise created throughout the years.
Some people even claim that "The Hokey Pokey" was not fun and games at all but a mockery of Catholic mass. They say that the name actually came from "hocus pocus." But it was only when songwriters in the UK and the US claimed it as their own that things really got heated.
On the eastern side of the Atlantic, a legal battle erupted after two men each claimed that they had written a song called "The Hokey Cokey." Both said that they originally called it "The Hokey Pokey" but changed the name when a Canadian soldier suggested that the word "cokey" would be better than "pokey" because it was Canadian slang for "crazy."[3]
The legal battle was settled out of court.
Similarly, another lawsuit ensued in the United States between two different groups claiming to have written "The Hokey Pokey." This battle apparently ended with the royalties being shared.
7 The Hula Is A Story
While movies often depict hula in a stereotypical way, grass skirts, coconut bras, and swaying hips do not capture what hula truly is. Ancient hula was accompanied by chanted poetry, and each gesture of the dance held deep meaning.
It was the sacred text of the Hawaiian people written in movement, a traditional method of passing legends and shared histories down from generation to generation. Hula is a story.
Hula was banned by the missionaries who landed on the island in the 1800s. They considered it a pagan practice and condemned it. Soon, hula and native Hawaiian culture in general was slowly dying away until a cultural explosion in the 1970s revived the traditional dance.
There are now two types of hula. Hula kahiko hearkens back to the traditional methods, using percussion instruments and chants that tell stories of the old ways and gods. Hula 'auana is the kind more familiar to contemporary culture, with the graceful movements performed to more modern instruments.[4]
Regardless of which style is performed—and there are many subdivisions—hula was never intended to be a simple dance. It is a spiritual exercise of telling the story of one's heart, which is perhaps why it now has so many practitioners around the world.
6 Dance Or Brawl?
The tinku is Bolivia's national dance. It has its origins in a tradition where different communities would gather in a designated area to release tensions by beginning a dance that erupted into a ritualized brawl.
The tinku involved forming circles of dances separated by gender. It began at a fast pace, transitioned into a stomp, and finally transformed into ritualized combat. Any blood spilled was seen as an offering to the gods for a good harvest. And any deaths, which occasionally occurred due to the nature of the festival, were likewise seen as a sacrifice.
The modern-day tinku looks somewhat similar to the original practice except that the combat has (ideally) been toned down to ritualistic combat-like movements. However, the festival where the tinku is performed usually involves heavy drinking, and tensions between communities or neighbors can still turn from dance into a brawl.[5]
Tourists who visit Bolivia during the festival period have said that while the tinku was indeed a spectacle, it was not one they wish to repeat. Tensions can run high during the period for anyone, and it has been advised not to make any provocative gestures lest visitors risk getting caught up in the tinku themselves.
5 The Chicken Dance Is Not A Chicken Dance
Most people know the silly, wordless (but not always) "Chicken Dance" song popular at parties. But no one actually knows who first called it the chicken dance. Originally, it was not associated with chickens in any way.
Initially called "The Duck Dance," it was composed by Swiss accordion player Werner Thomas who performed it for patrons at his local restaurant. Spontaneous dancing erupted from those who listened, so Thomas eventually incorporated more birdlike movements and renamed it "Tchirp-Tchirp" after the sound of birds.
Even though it was a hit in his town, the song languished in obscurity until a Dutch publisher took a liking to it, added words, and spread it across Europe. Even then it was not a "chicken dance." Instead, it was called "Little Bird Dance" or "Birdie Dance."
Both in Europe and the US, the dance had a history of being thrown around until finally making it big and becoming famous after years of modest acclaim. Publisher Stanley Mills acquired the publishing rights in the US, but he only called it "Dance Little Bird" because that title sounded more commercial than "Little Bird Dance," as it was known in Europe.
Mills also added English lyrics to the song, but they never really caught on. It wasn't until a record label called up Mills about the "Chicken Dance" that it acquired its popular name, seemingly out of thin air.[6]
4 The Sacred Dance Outlawed By The British
The female costumes of the Manipuri dance can be unique. Some are long, stiff skirts decorated with gold, silver, and mirrors that give dancers the appearance of wearing fashionable barrels. The spinning motions of the dancers can have an almost mesmerizing effect.
The dance experts of the Manipuri region were known as "Gandharvas" in ancient Vedic texts. They used their dances to celebrate Hindu values and spirituality.
This was why Christian missionaries actively discouraged the dance once the Manipuri region came under British colonial rule. The government soon outlawed all dancing in Hindu temples in the hopes of stopping spiritual and cultural dances like the Manipuri dance.
Nevertheless, the dance survived in secret. Once the Indian freedom movement took hold, it was revived alongside many others. Although many Indian dances once again became public traditions, the Manipuri dance in particular received help when the Nobel Prize–winning author Rabindranath Tagore became entranced by it.[7]
He invited a famed Manipuri dancer to join him at an Indian cultural and study center. The Manipuri dances were dance-dramas that told ancient Hindu tales, and his work helped rekindle interest in and knowledge of the old ways.
3 Physically Integrated Dance
Physically integrated dance is not what people imagine when they think of dance. It uses people with and without disabilities who share the same stage and dance to the same piece of choreography. Whereas some might imagine the dancer with a disability playing a lesser role, physically integrated dance creates a choreography where all dancers' unique traits are expressed.
There are many types of physically integrated dance, with styles ranging from traditional ballet to modern contemporary. The dances are like showcases of different body types (though not in a pitying or exploitative way). They are journeys into what each can do.
The dance often poses a challenge for both the critics and audience. Critics do not want to criticize performers who are disabled, and dance troupes like The GIMP Project challenge the audience with monologues detailing what viewers may be thinking when they watch the performance.[8]
The style of dance was not built to "make up for" disabilities but to use them to create new forms of dance that are not possible under normal circumstances. For example, a dancer without legs will work with another performer to create a unique type of aerial silk act.
Despite this, directors of the dance companies often run into those who pity the disabled dancers and do not hold them to the same standards of others in their field.
2 "La Cucaracha" Has No Standard Lyrics
The origins of "La Cucaracha" ("The Cockroach") is anything but clear. While most attribute it to Mexico, that is only where it gained popularity, especially with folk dancing. Some books have it dating back to the reign of Ferdinand and Isabella in Spain. Others record it being carried across the Atlantic Ocean to Mexico by Spanish Marines.
The song is primarily associated with Mexico because it was used by both sides of the Mexican Revolution as propaganda (and probably just to pass the time).
The lyrics of "La Cucaracha" were modified according to the values of the people who sang it. It was often heavily influenced by the events of the time period in which it was sung. This was especially true of political events.[9]
The lyrics tend to focus on one person—the "cockroach" from which the song gets its name. Whoever the cockroach is determines the lyrics, which are metaphors for whatever nefarious dealings the singer/songwriter believes to be going on.
With such an extensive history, the song has gone through a lot of revisions. It may be better to think of "La Cucaracha" as an oral history of displeasure with political figures (and anyone else who happens to be in charge).
1 Affranchi
The Dance That Came Full Circle
When the French colonized Haiti, they enslaved the locals and put them to work on plantations. The enslaved Haitians were banned from publicly performing European dances, but their slave masters would still have them perform their native African dances for the masters' amusement.
After the slave revolt of 1804, class barriers began to crumble and Europeans began intermarrying with women of African descent. The descendants of these common-law marriages were known as Affranchi and created a new style of Haitian dance.
The Affranchi (folk dance) was named after the new class that created it. It incorporated some movements from their enslaved ancestors, but their rhythmic movements were more reserved than the dances that were once secretly performed to drumbeats of voodoo ceremonies.
Although the final stage of the dance was freestyle, they wanted to retain what they saw as European poise. The Affranchi dance remained largely based on European dance structures that incorporated African elements.[10]
It was a prestigious class of dancing. As it spread beyond Haiti and moved into modern times, Affranchi began to incorporate a greater range of movements. More of the original African elements were reincorporated, including voodoo drumbeats and a greater link to Haitian heritage. It became more than something emphasizing European structures. It was now a dance associated with Haiti itself.

The Blue Posts was originally a liquor store owned by James Diaper, from about 1839. In 1861 it was sold to Thomas & Jubal Raffe who were journeymen millers and corn merchants. In 1878 the trustees for Thomas Raffe's estate applied for an on-license and then sold the premises to Alexander Clutterbuck (Stowmarket Brewery). In 1882 it was acquired by Edward Greene.
The pub only had a six day license.
The last landlord was an Alexander Davis who was there from about 1939. The license was surrendered in April 1941 and the building was used as a hospital during the World War Two. Later it became a shop selling craft and kitchen items, until about 2002 when it was converted to residential use.
There is a very old photo (circa 1863) which shows Station road decorated for the Prince Of Wales marriage that year. From the 1882 it was owned by Greene King [their Stowmarket Store being over the road, in the old Stevens brewery building]. In the 1920s The Ancient Order Of Buffaloes met there on a Thursday Evening.
Blue posts were often used as an easy means of building identification before street numbering systems became widespread in usage during the 18th cent.

Funding for Visual Arts and Crafts
15 Dec Funding for Visual Arts and Crafts
Funding of $55.3 million will be put into strengthening and the visual arts and crafts sector all around Australia.
The Visual Arts and Crafts Strategy (VACS) will continue to receive support over four years from 2012.
"The initiative will foster creativity, innovation and excellence within the sector through ongoing funding for individuals, organisations, exhibition touring, market expansion and Indigenous arts," Mr Crean said.
"This is about identifying and strengthening the creative talent that already exists within our vibrant arts and crafts sector. The funding will ensure that the contemporary visual arts and crafts sector is equipped to fulfil its vital role in enriching the cultural life of our nation," Mr. Crean added.
The four year initiative will allow VACS to support over 80 contemporary visual arts and crafts organisations and provide nearly $10 million to individual artists and projects.
VACS was developed in 2004, following the 2002 Report of the Contemporary Visual Arts and Crafts Inquiry which recommended increased support for the sector by the Australian government. Since then, VACS has introduced $88.5 million into visual arts and crafts in Australia.
"We must have a rigorous approach to developing funding programs that increase the dividends of our investment in arts and culture," Mr Crean said.
"This national approach to funding has been highly successful in building a strong and dynamic sector supported by a stable base of world-class cultural organisations," he added.
