Since 1980, Michigan's underwater preserve system has grown to occupy more than 7,000 square miles of Great Lakes bottomland in thirteen distinct underwater preserves. They protect some of the region's most sensitive and historic underwater resources. Thanks to the strict legal regulations forbidding the removal of artifacts and the conscientious adherence by divers to the law, shipwreck diving in Michigan's Great Lakes is some of the best in the world. Divers unfamiliar with Michigan's underwater preserve system are surprised to find well-preserved, pristine shipwrecks. Even small items such as cups, silverware, tools, machinery ornaments and other relics remain where they were discovered by the first divers many years before.
Narrow points between land masses create natural "choke points" for navigators. The DeTour Passage is just such a natural point channeling ships bound from Lake Huron to the locks at Sault Ste. Marie into a narrow strait between the eastern tip of Michigan's Upper Peninsula and Drummond Island. Storms, heavy seas and navigation errors have all contributed to shipping losses in and near the Passage. The remains of lost ships rest there in fairly shallow waters easily accessible to divers.
Shore accessible dive sites include the hulls of abandoned wooden ships. A portion of one of these, the Sainte Marie, can be seen above the water. The steel paddlewheel of another shipwreck can be found nearby. Divers should be aware of private property rights when accessing shore locations. Permission of property owners should be obtained when appropriate before crossing or accessing private property.
In addition to the shipwrecks, the continuing importance of this area to maritime shipping can be seen in the passing of modern freighters traveling through the area. Visitors can spend an enjoyable time watching the freighter traffic.
Below is a list of shipwrecks in the DeTour Passage Underwater Preserve.For a description of the shipwreck, click on the name below.
Divers should be prepared to locate the various shipwrecks themselves for diving. GPS coordinates for each location are available at the links above.
Be ready for cool water temperatures. Although surface water temperatures may reach 65 degrees or more in midsummer, temperatures below 40 degrees are common at depth. Most Great Lakes divers use full wetsuits or drysuits.
Divers and boat captains should take care to avoid anchoring into the wrecks and doing unnecessary damage until moorings are provided.
Be prepared. The Great Lakes are as unpredictable as they are beautiful. Storms and heavy seas can arise suddenly with little warning. Do not head out onto the Great Lakes unless you have proper safety equipment, an appropriate vessel and experience.
Never leave your dive boat unattended.
If trouble arises, the U. S. Coast Guard monitors VHF channel 16 and search and rescue service is available.
A Diver's Guide to Michigan Underwater Preserves is a great resource for discovering all of Michigan's sunken treasures.

Anne began her work in suicidology as an undergraduate, assisting her advisor and the Nisqually Indian Tribe with the development of suicide prevention programs to build a healthier community.

Throughout 2016, the American College of Surgeons' (ACOS) National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC) has been meeting to work on updated standards for their accreditation requirements. The updated standards serve to clarify any uncertainty for staff of centers either currently accredited or those seeking accreditation. The new provisions provide education resources, define leadership titles, and clarify survivorship care plan compliance.
ONS member Erica Fischer-Cartlidge, MSN, CNS, CBCN, AOCNS®, is the NAPBC liaison for ONS. She attends board meetings to ensure nursing needs and practices are considered in discussions regarding changes to ACOS breast center accreditation. Because Fischer-Cartlidge is in the room for these discussions, she's able to keep ONS members up to date on NAPBC standards and changes.
Standard 2.20, which addresses survivorship care plans, has been clarified when determining compliance rates. New wording for the standard says the goal is to have 100% compliance of survivorship plans. "If that's not possible," Fischer-Cartlidge said, "the rationale for exception must be documented for each case." There have also been modifications to expand who can deliver a survivorship care plan; this will now include credentialed members of the care team such as oncology certified nurses, advanced practice nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and/or a clinical nurse navigators, in addition to the physician. They cannot be delivered by lay navigators or someone who is not part of the patient's care team.
These modifications to the standards will go into effect in 2017 and will available in the updated NAPB Standards Manual, on their Website, in September 2016.
Which of the Following Isn't a Breast Cancer Surveillance Recommendation?


Back pain can affect anyone at any time, no matter how healthy or otherwise that person is. This can be especially true in all types of workplaces, where lifting boxes and equipment or simply sitting at a desk for lengthy periods of time can affect a persons musculoskeletal system to the point where even the most basic of movements can be painful. Chiropractic care for all accident and workplace injuries can keep these pains at bay and help those that suffer from workplace injuries to receive the help they need to get back to work in no time. The following will provide an in-depth and detailed look at all of the many benefits of chiropractic care for workplace injuries.
Who is Most At Risk of Suffering From Workplace Injuries?
First of all, it's important to understand who is most at risk for workplace injuries in order to stave off these issues before they even happen. These types of back and musculoskeletal injuries can affect pretty much anyone. With that being said, employees that do the same types of tasks on a regular and consistent basis can begin to suffer from overuse of certain tissues within the body over a lengthy period of time, which can further lead to damage of these same tissues. Chiropractic care is essential in order to keep further injury from taking place and to treat any injury that does occur.
Employees that receive chiropractic care will find that there are a myriad of benefits that can be attributed to this care. For instance, employees will now have direct access to knowledge and education about these types of issues without needing to look somewhere else for them. It will also greatly reduce the need for health care costs out of your own pocket.
Having access to chiropractic care will create a more positive environment within the workplace that will help to increase work flow and productivity in a manner that will be much more effective. This care can also help employees to have an overall positive attitude when at work, as they won't be suffering from frustrating pain that could limit their capabilities. This can further lead to an increase in job satisfaction.
The largest benefit of chiropractic care for employees is the mere fact that it allows for a greater well-being and health for all employees. Not only will this help with work productivity, but it can also extend a persons life. It should be noted that chiropractic care in the workplace is essential in increasing the amount of protection from everyday injuries that can happen to employees, as well as reducing the amount of built up stress. Lastly, it simply creates a work environment wherein employees now have much more motivation, knowledge and awareness that will help them to improve their health.
Employees aren't the only ones that benefit from chiropractic care for accident and workplace injuries; employers do as well. Chiropractic care in the workplace helps to reduce the amount of injuries that occur for employees while on the job, it will also provide a decrease in the amount of expenses that businesses will face for everything from disability to absenteeism, as well as drugs.
These savings can instead be put into areas that help the business to grow. Potential and current employees will also be happy to know that their employees care for their well-being by providing chiropractic care, which will attract new employees and reduce the overall turnover ratio of current ones.
Allowing employees to receive chiropractic care for accident and workplace injuries is a great way to reduce stress within the workplace environment, which will automatically increase work efficiency and productivity with employees. This care can even help to reduce health costs or keep them more limited.
Every employer knows how important workplace morale can be to actually getting things done and earning as much profits and revenue as is possible. Employees need to be satisfied and content with working where they do, which is why all employers should know that chiropractic care can also help to create a supportive and largely positive environment that will keep employees happy.

HOLIER THAN THOU: Hick Explains How Everyone But Him Is Wrong… Yet Again
Posted on December 1, 2014 by ColoradoPeakPolitics
"I never do anything wrong."
Breaking news PeakNation™, Gov. John Hickenlooper is never wrong, we just aren't thoughtful or intelligent enough to understand the greatness of his wisdom. Or, so the latest episode of Hickenlooper mansplaining has led us to believe. As we wrote earlier, Hickenlooper's controversial interview with The Wall Street Journal quoted him as saying:
"What's amazing to me is, a lot of young Latinos, the vast majority don't care about a pathway to citizenship," Hickenlooper told the Journal. [the Peak's emphasis]
But, get this, in a new interview today with The Denver Post, Hickenlooper mansplains to us how he wasn't talking about Latinos at all, and how did we get such a crazy idea. As The Post writes:
Gov. John Hickenlooper's quoted remarks on immigration have received a good bit of attention (here and here) but the Democrat says he was taken out of context.
…"What I was saying was it's not their first priority. I wasn't talking about Latinos, I was talking about undocumented (immigrants)," he started. [the Peak's emphasis]
Damn us and our conniving ways! How dare we think that Hickenlooper is speaking about Latinos, when he is quoted in The Journal as actually saying "a lot of young Latinos…" Obviously, we have done a masterful job of twisting Hickenlooper's words to mean something he didn't.
There are many reasons we here at the Peak would have loved to see former Rep. Bob Beauprez win, if for nothing else than to shut Hick up.
Has anyone else ever noticed it's never Hick's fault? He never misspeaks, he's just misunderstood. He never is wrong, it's really just the ugly partisan pols out to get him because he's just such a nice guy. We wouldn't be so irritated by Hick if every now and then he got down from his high horse and admitted, yes, indeed, his sh*@ does stink like the rest of us.
Seriously, does this guy love mansplaining? Does he think he's some kind of prophet from God sent to show us the light? We see this same passive condescension from Hick in this video interview he did with The Post. During it he busts out his worn-out Hick speak of wanting to have a "discussion" on the death penalty. But, by now PeakNation™, we should know when Hick speaks of having a "discussion" he means, "all you dumbasses out there, listen to me list off the reasons on how you're wrong, and once you hear my side you'll agree with me." As he actually told The Post:
"The state isn't there yet. The state still feels this is the appropriate punishment… We wanted to let the state have that 'discussion' which we did… Anecdotal they [people's opinions] have [changed.]"
Would a "discussion" with Hick end in any other way than people changing their minds to agree with him? And, what does Hick mean "the state isn't there yet?" That at some, more enlightened point in the future we'll have caught up to how right Hick is on this issue?
Seriously, what a passive, condescending… politician.

First Saga Press hardcover edition.
"In just over a year's time, Ryia Cautella has already earned herself a reputation as the quickest, deadliest blade in the dockside city of Carrowwick--not to mention the sharpest tongue. But Ryia Cautella is not her real name. For the past six years, a deadly secret has kept her in hiding, running from town to town, doing whatever it takes to stay one step ahead of the formidable Guildmaster--the sovereign ruler of the five kingdoms of Thamorr. No matter how far or fast she travels, his servants never fail to track her down...but even the most powerful men can be defeated. Ryia's path now leads directly into the heart of the Guildmaster's stronghold, and against every instinct she has, it's not a path she can walk alone. Forced to team up with a crew of assorted miscreants, smugglers, and thieves, Ryia must plan her next moves very carefully. If she succeeds, her freedom is won once and for all...but unfortunately for Ryia, her new allies are nearly as selfish as she is, and they all have plans of their own." --Amazon.com.

Buying a used 4WD can be a daunting experience. We all work hard for our money and want to make sure our hard earned cash buys us our dream ride rather than an over priced lemon! So if you are in the market for a used 4WD here are the top 10 tips to help you make the right choice, and avoid an expensive nightmare.
1: Know what you want and need.
Before looking it pays to really think about what you need out of your 4WD. Sitting down and thinking about how you would use your 4WD is probably the easiest way to narrow down the search and come out with a vehicle that is more likely to tick all the right boxes.
Thinking about what you need will help you narrow down your search to 2-3 models and get you a 4WD that is more likely to suit your needs.
Once you have narrowed down your search to 2 or 3 models. Do your research. Check used car websites such as 'carsales.com' and get an idea of average price, kms and condition for your model of choice. These sites also allow side by side comparisons on features so it is a good way of further narrowing down your options. Go on forums and internet sites and find out the most common issues for the model you are looking for. Some makes and models have common issues such as transmission, steering etc. and it pays to know what to look for. Consider availability of parts and servicing costs for your model of choice. Becoming an expert on the make and model you are interested in can really pay off in knowing the fair market price for the vehicle and knowing the problem areas to look out for. When buying a used 4WD knowledge is power.
3. Ignore the sales pitch.
It is funny how a bush bashing monster truck can suddenly become a "the wife's after school pick up taxi" when the owner is looking to sell. Look at the physical evidence rather than taking the word of the owner who clearly is looking at getting the best price. Ask plenty of questions and if there are inconsistencies in the story its best to be cautious. For example an after school pick up taxi should not have extensive scratching under the vehicle.
4: Look at mechanical stability over after market mods.
It can be very tempting to go straight for the truck with all the mods you could ever dream of. They look tough and so much more capable off road than the standard 4WDs. But think about it, generally people get mods to give their 4x4 a good workout off-road so chances are the modified 4WDs have had more of a beating that your standard after school pickup cars. Start out standard and then build up the mods to your liking. If you do go for a modified ride ask to see any relevant warranties and installation receipts, best to avoid those with DIY mods.
5: Check under the bonnet.
Check Oil: Remove the oil filter cap and check for any foamy residue. This can often be an indication of a leaking head gasket and this car should be avoided. Check the condition of the coolant and ensure it is not brown and grimy in appearance as not only is this a sign of lack of servicing but also possible leaking head gasket.
Check critical systems for wear and tear such as cracking, drying, rust and bodgy home repairs.
6: Get down and dirty.
4WDs can take quite a beating and can often be exposed to extreme external conditions such as water, mud, flooding, severe corrugations etc. Taking a good look under the vehicle can often be a great way to uncover serious off-road related damage.
Get down and dirty and inspect under the car if possible looking for cracking, significant scratching, leaks, misalignments and rust. Check the exhaust system carefully for any leaks.
When it comes to body work it pays to check thoroughly. Avoid buying cars that have any indication of an accident or frame damage.
The saddle of the car should not be welded but bolted. Check the bolts for signs of scratches indicating adjustment or replacement after a crash. Check for any cracks in the bumpers.
Crouch behind the car and inspect the side panels looking out for any uneven paint reflection or uneven surface indicating body work after an accident.
Don't stress about minor scratches but do use them as bargaining power to lower the sale price.
a) Strange noises: any strange noises when turning the ignition, turning the steering on full lock, using the brakes or changing gears. Any clunking sounds while turning steering wheel to full lock should set off alarm bells, as fixing the power steering is an expensive exercise.
b) warning lights on dash: this could be stating the obvious but after turning the ignition check thoroughly for any warning lights on the dash board. The check engine light is never a good sign.
c) transmission: During the test drive experiment with different acceleration levels to ensure it can handle sudden acceleration. If auto, check that the gears shift smoothly without jerks or clunks, if manual check any slipping of the clutch.
d) leaks: after a long test drive is the best time to check for leaks because they will show up even if the owner has tried to hide them prior to the test drive. You may wish to park the car on a clean strip of concrete and look out for any leaks after the drive. Check for leaks again under the bonnet, under the car and on the front ball joints.
Checking the service history of the 4WD is crucial before committing to buy.
9: Ask to see the books.
Don't take the owner's word for it when they tell you it has been religiously serviced. Ask to see the service history and check over the dates and work carefully. Take note of how often the work has occurred as well as any major issues the vehicle has had in the past. Avoid buying a 4WD with no service history or incomplete and irregular servicing. Lack of regular servicing can lead to pre-mature damage and wear to the 4WD and is not worth your time or money repairing.
If you think you have given it a good look over and you are seriously contemplating buying, alway get a qualified 4WD mechanic to give the vehicle a very thorough inspection. This may well set you back a couple of hundred bucks, but it is well worth the investment compared to buying something that will cost you thousands to repair later down the track.


We use Google search almost every day. It may be for browsing latest news, a particular topic, a person or a website. The search engine delivers the most updated information on our subject within milliseconds.
Will you dig into the search results with a blind mind?
If not, are you following any criteria to filter those web links?
Suppose, you are looking for latest social media marketing tools. No one will be interested to read the post, that published two-three years back as they want the up to date information. So the visitors will avoid such links and go with remaining options. Posts showing old dates will lose the traffic, naturally.
How can you overcome this situation?
Hide the date in search Snippets. So the users can't ascertain the date of your posts before reaching the site. It is better to hide dates from search engines using plugins. A couple of plugins are available for the purpose.
Yoast SEO is the most common plugin for WordPress sites. It is doing an amazing job to super optimize your blog for search engines and thus improve the traffic. Yoast lets you hide date from the search results as well.
To enable the feature, go to the plugin settings. Tap Titles & Metas from the left sidebar. Under Post Types, you will find an option to hide the date.
Click Hide button, under Date in Snippet Preview option. Scroll down to the bottom to Save changes. This function will hide date from snippet previews of your blog posts.
However, Google can collect the date information from various sources like theme or plugin files of a site. So it is up to the search engine whether to show or hide the date. In some cases, Google will ignore your SEO settings and show the date in snippets.
WP Meta and Date Remover is a simple plugin for doing the job. It allows you to remove the date, author, and meta from the website itself.
You can use the plugin in two ways. Disable the date either by using PHP or CSS. The code can be customized according to your needs and can remove the entire info from backend, frontend or both.
This is another useful plugin to customize meta entries of your blog posts. Unlike the previous plugin, it allows you to include or exclude certain meta info in blog posts.
Check the above screenshot. By default, the plugin will remove the entire meta entries. If you want to show any of them, just uncheck the relevant boxes.
If you are not interested with plugins, follow this tutorial to make changes in theme files for removing the date.


In your letter of May 20th, you requested information regarding deposit insurance coverage on a lock box deposit account maintained by a real estate management agent ("X Corporation"). The managing agent collects monthly rental or condominium assessment payments from tenants on behalf of its client property owners, who, typically, are partnerships, corporations, or condominium associations. From your description the monthly payments are mailed directly to a lock box account entitled "Managing Agent Receipt Clearing Account." The bank prepares a computer tape and written statement listing each check by payor and property owner on the day of receipt. The computer tape and statement are then delivered to X Corporation. After reconciling its internal records with the bank's written statement and the deposit ticket, X Corporation calls the bank to authorize the deposit of the funds to the clearing account.
As we discussed in our subsequent telephone conversations, it appears that the lock box initially functions as a safekeeping or collection box until X Corporation performs the reconciliation and authorizes the actual deposit of funds. It is important to note that the FDIC only insures deposits, so that no funds are insured until the bank has credited the clearing account with a deposit of the incoming funds. The owner of undeposited funds in the lock box would have access to those items upon proof of ownership in the event of the bank's failure.
As you have correctly stated, sections 330.1(b)(1) and (2) of FDIC regulations establish the recordkeeping requirements necessary to obtain deposit insurance coverage. Section 330.1(b)(1) states that deposit account records are conclusive as to the existence of any relationship upon which funds are deposited or a claim for insurance coverage if made. Customarily, the account title or an appropriate notation on the deposit account signature cards establishes the existence of an agency, custodial, or fiduciary relationship between the accountholder and the beneficial owner(s) of the funds. An account styled as "X Corporation Managing Agent Receipt Clearing Account" does not establish the existence of a custodial or agency relationship between the depositor and any principal(s) of the deposited funds. It is suggested that the words "custodial account," "as agent for," or "escrow account" appear in the account name or be noted on the deposit account signature cards to establish the agency or custodial nature of the account.
Section 330.1(b)(2) provides that the details of the relationship and the interests of the beneficial owners must be ascertainable from the records of the bank or the depositor maintained in good faith and in the regular course of business. We agree that section 330.1(b)(2) could be satisfied by business records reflecting the contractual agreement between the bank and X Corporation, and the management agreements between X Corporation and the property owners.
Each beneficial owner of the funds would be insured to $100,000 subject to the following regulations. The deposit accounts of a corporation or partnership engaged in independent activity are insured to $100,000 in the aggregate. 12 C.F.R. § 330.5. Similarly, the deposit accounts of an unincorporated association engaged in independent activity are insured to $100,000 in the aggregate. 12 C.F.R. § 330.6. Independent activity is any activity other than that directed solely at increasing deposit insurance coverage. 12 C.F.R. § 330.7. The interests of property owners who are corporations, partnerships, or unincorporated associations engaged in independent activity are insured separately from any deposit accounts held by individuals participating in the corporation, partnership, or unincorporated association. Should a property owner maintain in its business capacity additional deposit accounts in the same bank servicing the clearing account, those funds would be aggregated with its beneficial interest in the clearing account and insured to $100,000.
In addition, it should be noted that if X Corporation owns any portion of the rental or condominium assessment payments (service fees, for example) which remain in the clearing account, those amounts would be aggregated with its other corporate accounts and insured to $100,000.

KLM flights to Athens expected to start on June 6
KLM flights to Greece are expected to start on June 6, connecting Amsterdam with Athens, the company said on Tuesday.
In an announcement, it said that the initial plan is to operate five flights a week to "Eleftherios Venizelos" airport from Schiphol, as part of the company's effort to gradually restore its European network, which includes Greece.
Due to the Covid-19 crisis, KLM is launching its summer program with significantly reduced flights and will fly according to a specially tailored program, which follows national guidelines in the Netherlands (RIVM), internationally (WHO, IATA) and in compliance with international law and the regulations of each destination.
Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 epidemic, KLM said it has implemented a number of measures to control and protect passengers and staff on board and at airports. As of May 11, face masks are compulsory during boarding and on board. Passengers are responsible for providing their own face masks.
Due to the changing nature of regulations and legislation, the company said that passengers need to visit www.klm.gr for updates and information for all measures and that all itineraries are subject to change due to travel restrictions imposed by local governments or international authorities.

Destinations | California | Benbow Inn | Local Attractions
This world-famous scenic drive is a 31-mile portion of old Highway 101, which parallels the current Freeway 101 with its 51,222 acres of redwood groves. It is, by far, the most outstanding display of these giant trees in the entire 500 mile redwood belt and is accessible to all with convenient services provided along the way. The Avenue of the Giants is surrounded by Humboldt Redwoods State Park which has the largest remaining stand of virgin redwoods in the world. Take time to picnic, hike, swim, fish, raft, or bike ride in the cool hush of these ancient redwood forests.
The King Range National Conservation Area covers 68,000 acres and extends along 35 miles of coastline between the mouth of the Mattole River and Sinkyone Wilderness State Park. Here the landscape was too rugged for highway building, forcing State Highway 1 and U.S. 101 inland. The remote region is known as California's Lost Coast, and is only accessed by a few back roads. The recreation opportunities here are as diverse as the landscape. The Douglas-fir peaks attract hikers, hunters, and mushroom collectors, while the coast beckons to surfers, anglers, beachcombers, and abalone divers to name a few.
A quiet fishing village nestled in the mountainous forests of the Lost Coast. Spend an afternoon walking on the Black Sands Beach or exploring tide pools. Shelter Cove also offers a landing strip for private aircraft, golfing, hiking, and fishing.
Explore the historic Victorian Village of Ferndale, just a short drive north of the Avenue of the Giants. Enjoy magnificently preserved Victorian architecture and pick up visitor information from any shop. On the National Register of Historic Places, Ferndale's Main Street is a photographer's paradise and a shopper's delight.

Movies Reviews The Salesman
The opening credits sequence of Asghar Farhadi's latest film, The Salesman—nominated Tuesday for a Best Foreign Film Oscar—suggests the distinguished Iranian filmmaker will tackle fresh stylistic territory. Instead of his drably realistic shots of outdoor settings, it's set on a stage, with high-contrast lighting that veers between flashy neon and deep blacks. We soon discover it's the set of a production of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, one featuring the film's two leads, Emad (Shahab Hosseini) and Rana (Taraneh Alidoosti) Etesami, as Willy and Linda Loman, respectively. The air is thick in these early stages of a mingling of fiction and reality the likes of which Farhadi has never attempted before.
To some extent, that promise is fulfilled, but in ways that turn out to be much knottier and more complicated than expected. Leave it to Farhadi—a dramatist who swims in the often agonizing complexities of human relationships—to find the most indirect way to approach even a meta-theatrical conceit like this. Emad may portray the salesman of Miller's play, and Rana his faithful wife, but the salesman of the film's title turns out to be neither of these two main characters. What's more, the namesake doesn't even appear until the film's third act, as Emad closes in on the culprit who violently attacked and mentally shattered his wife in their new apartment. Only in this last act do any convergences between Farhadi's world and Miller's become apparent, and even then it has barely anything to do with Emad and/or Rana, but with the characters they're both either judging or trying to be compassionate toward.
The Salesman is essentially another of Farhadi's morality tales, with characters who are neither simply good nor evil, but deeply, disturbingly human in their sometimes unconscionable flaws. But if, in many of his previous films, Farhadi laid out the complex motivations of his characters with the clear-eyed acuteness of a social scientist, the two main characters of his latest are more psychologically elusive than any he's yet explored on screen. Rana, in particular, can come off as inexplicable in her actions. Even as she is clearly suffering from trauma in the wake of her assault, she refuses to report the incident to the Iranian authorities; only a neighbor's speculation that said authorities would mishandle an investigation and end up blaming the victim suggests any understandable motive for her silence. (Also, the fact that technically she did invite her attacker in, opening the apartment door for him mistakenly believing it to be her husband, implies a level of embarrassment she wants to avoid).
Ultimately the film is Emad's story, especially when he takes it upon himself to play amateur investigator and find out who attacked his wife. It's through his sleuthing, however, that a darker side to a previously agreeable and intensely focused character emerges. Beyond the tension that develops between Emad and his wife after the violent incident, one scene in the middle of the film foreshadows this more authoritarian side. In a confrontation with a student who has snapped photos of him dozing off in class while screening a movie, he responds by taking the student's phone and rifling through his personal photos without an ounce of concern for the invasion of privacy this represents. Emad proves that, in certain situations, he's not much different from a repressive national government that will go so far as to demand three lines from Death of a Salesman be cut just because it somehow violates ethical standards.
The film's meta-theatrical angle adds another layer of characterization to/criticism of Emad. Note a seemingly throwaway scene early in the film in which he responds to a student's anger at the inconsiderate way a taxicab passenger treated Emad the day before, hypothesizing a rationalization of the passenger's mindset. The art of acting, to a considerable extent, is all about tapping into one's capacity for human empathy, and that one scene suggests that Emad has no problem exercising such imagination with the behavior of total strangers. But if there's a character arc to be found in The Salesman beyond its detective narrative, it's in the way the attack on Rana and its fraught aftermath exposes the limits of Emad's empathy. Once he discovers who's responsible, we witness a side of Emad that verges on the homicidal, in an out-of-proportion act of revenge that is a far cry from the kind of compassion Arthur Miller evinced toward Willy Loman in Death of a Salesman.
In that sense, The Salesman is the closest Farhadi has come thus far in his career to a work of self-examination. We know from films like Fireworks Wednesday, About Elly and A Separation that this filmmaker is capable of sensitivity to female anguish; it's one reason his last film, the French-language melodrama The Past, was slightly disappointing, featuring a largely hysterical female character who felt less fleshed-out than her male counterparts, more at their service than with any agency of her own. Perhaps The Salesman is a response to that experience: a film that features a similarly backward dynamic but turns it on its head once we grasp that only the woman can claim the moral high ground relinquished by the man for the sake of … pride? Vengeance? Satisfaction that he's fulfilling his societally mandated role as protector and provider? As with Farhadi's best work, such questions of humanity and morality linger long after the particulars of its plot have dissolved from memory.

Heritage board mulls rejuvenation of Bhai Udai Singh Haveli in Pehowa
Published on: 20-May-21
Haryana Economy Add to Study Deck 7
The Haryana Saraswati Heritage Development Board has come out with a plan to rejuvenate Bhai Udai Singh Haveli, develop it as a tourist site-cum-museum in Pehowa.
According to information, the haveli also served as the PWD rest house, but years ago it was declared condemned.
Rejuvenation of the haveli has been a long pending demand and people have raised the issue with the government on different occasions. In January last year, Additional Chief Secretary Amit Jha, who had come to Pehowa to attend International Saraswati Mahotsav, had informed that the state government would establish a Saraswati museum in Pehowa and there were expectations that the haveli could be selected for the project. However, there has been no further progress.
It is a heritage building constructed by Bhai Udai Singh, last ruler of Kaithal, in the 19th century. It is a nearly 200-year-old magnificent building and it would be good if this heritage building is preserved as per archaeological norms and converted into a museum. Religious purpose was also a reason behind the construction of the haveli in Pehowa as kings used to reach here to perform post-death rituals for the departed soul. The historians suggest that the board should consult Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INCTACH) for the project.
Meanwhile, INTACH convener, Kurukshetra chapter, Prof AR Chaudhry said, "If the board wants, we are ready to provide all assistance in this project. There are several buildings in Kurukshetra that need to be preserved."

Epidemiology of vasopressin use for adults with septic shock
Emily A. Vail, Hayley B. Gershengorn, May Hua, Allan J. Walkey, Hannah Wunsch
Rationale: Vasopressin may be used to treat vasodilatory hypotension in septic shock, but it is not recommended by guidelines as a first- or second-line agent. Little is known about how often the drug is used currently in septic shock. Objectives: We conducted this study to describe patterns of vasopressin use in a large cohort of U.S. adults with septic shock and to identify patient and hospital characteristics associated with vasopressin use. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of adults admitted to U.S. hospitals with septic shock in the Premier healthcare database (July 2008 to June 2013). We performed multilevel mixed-effects logistic regression with hospitals as a random effect to identify factors associated with use of vasopressin alone or in combination with other vasopressors on at least 1 day of hospital admission. We calculated quotients of Akaike Information Criteria (AIC) to determine relative contributions of patient and hospital characteristics to observed variation. Measurements and Main Results: Among 584,421 patients with septic shock in 532 hospitals, 100,923 (17.2%) received vasopressin.Atotal of 6.1% of patients receiving vasopressin received vasopressin alone, and 93.9% received vasopressin in combination with other vasopressors (up to five vasopressors in 15 different combinations). The mean monthly rate of vasopressin use increased from 14.5 to 19.6% over the study period, representing an average annual relative increase of 8% (P,0.001). The median hospital rate of vasopressin use for septic shock was 11.7% (range, 0-69.7%). Patient demographic and clinical characteristics, including patient age (adjusted odds ratio, 0.71 for age.85 yr compared with the reference group of age,50 yr; 95% confidence interval, 0.69-0.74) and acute respiratory dysfunction (adjusted odds ratio, 3.25; 95% confidence interval, 3.20-3.31), were responsible for the majority of observed variation in vasopressin use (quotient of AICs, 0.56). However, hospital of admission also contributed substantially to observed variation (quotient of AICs, 0.37). Conclusions: Approximately one-fifth of patients with septic shock received vasopressin, but rarely as a single vasopressor. The use of vasopressin has increased over time. The likelihood of receiving vasopressin was strongly associated with the specific hospital to which each patient was admitted.

Manchester Airport is the global gateway for the North of the UK, serving more than 26 million passengers a year.
It is the largest airport outside of London, with over 210 destinations served by over 70 airlines including direct flights to key markets such as Beijing, Singapore, Houston and San Francisco.
Manchester's long-haul catchment area places around 22 million people and 60% of all UK businesses within a two-hour drive time – it extends north through the Lake District into Scotland; east across Yorkshire and the North East; south to Birmingham and the Midlands; and west into Merseyside and Wales.


I had resigned to going to Japan, despite David Sylvian. Can you really go around the world and not visit the land of the rising sun? I had already been to the House Of The Rising Sun as a girl and was partially responsible for its forced name change to the House Of The Just Burnt Down.
But Tokyo is a major transport hub, and it is difficult to keep going east without it. Furthermore I like eating sushi (despite the Neneh Cherry album) mainly because the idea of eating Fish raw appeals. That and shooting him in a barrel. Indeed any way of torturing the ex Marillion lead singer cheers me up.
That said I was not ready for the full on lights, noise and indecipherable script of Tokyo. I ended up walking around in a daze, the bright lights of Ginza confusing me. I ended up wandering through the Ueno backstreets, trying to find somewhere to stay, just to put the noise out of my mind. In the end I found what appeared to be a hotel and book a room – even though I felt paying by the hour was a bit extortionate.
Imagine my surprise and horror when after three hours of blissful sleep some girls dressed as sailors broke in, found a microphone and started singing. HORROR: I had accidentally booked a karaoke box thinking it was a hotel room!
Hey look kids, its a craaazzeee Japanese Band. They are singing in foreign but who cares when its all kitschy retro soundtrackee stuff like this. Remember one member of Dee-lite was Japanese, and they were great, weren't they? Weren't they?
NO. DEE-LITE were bubblegum corpse robbers whose hip-hop sensibilities just about allowed them to spell hip-hop, but not get beyond one song whose only legitimate selling point was the sound of a swanee whistle. And yet this seems to be the only justification for people even considering listening to the Pizzicato Five. People were listening to them ironically perhaps? Well why couldn't they listen to them silently as well?
But okay, if that's not enough reason to consign the Japanese Other Two to the Yo! Sushi discard pile, how about this sorry fact. There are only two members of the Pizzicato Five. Only one other band has ever thought it really funny to have a band made up of less than five members be referred to as a "five". And that band was led by Ben Folds.
I rest my case. There is no more damning evidence.


Sept. 27, 2013 - When Motel Raphael takes the stage, they completely transform the Petit Campus. Dressed in bright red coats and grinning ear to ear, the large group of musicians couldn't seem more excited. And they have a right to be. Tonight they're headlining a Pop Montreal show, and the audience is dying for them to start playing. When they begin, there are cheers, and they all glance around, smiling and laughing. They look as if they can't believe it.
As they start playing, their enthusiasm is channeled into their music, and it's easy to see why they have the following they do. At first, their sound seems incredibly familiar, but as soon as you try to draw comparisons to anything else, you're at a loss. At the centre of the band is a beautiful trio of harmonies, but it's by no means the band's only asset. There's also an elegantly bold trumpet and guitar, bass, and drums that keep it from sounding too gentle. They even have a vibraphone — and it's more than just the token quirky instrument. Of course, everyone loves seeing someone play the vibraphone, but it's rare when it fits into the sound so well as it does here.
Their single, "Ghosts," brings whoops of approval from the audience. It's a catchy song, with harmonies that build up in a chilling way. Motel Raphael is good at cheerful, happy tunes, but they can also be serious, as they prove with one or two slower, more somber numbers. Each of the three women has a distinct, unique voice; it's great to hear them sing alone and then wait for the voices to intertwine with each other in gorgeous harmony.
The audience tonight is ready to dance, though, and Motel Raphael is ready to indulge them. And they're having fun themselves – they jump up and down, dance around the stage, and giggle with each other. They don't take themselves too seriously; Motel Raphael couldn't be pretentious if they tried.
The band closes the night with a cover of Daft Punk's hit "Get Lucky." What is probably the most overplayed song of the summer instantly sounds fresh as the three ladies in the front croon the familiar lyrics. The trumpet shines on this one, too. The crowd is going nuts at this point, and the drums and guitar keep playing and playing, though the song is long over. Everyone is dancing, and one of the lead vocalists shakes her head in disbelief before joining in herself.
And Motel Raphael comes at the end of a whole long night of good music. The lineup includes Corinna Rose, Wind and the Wild, Emilie & Ogden, and Lakes of Canada. Right before Motel Raphael takes the stage, Lakes of Canada riles up the crowd with a drum-heavy set consisting of their entire new album sung front to back. Wailing vocals are paired with an intense drum beat. The highlight of their set is the last song, when they come into the middle of the audience and sing without any instruments. Accompanied only by hand claps and foot stomps, their sometimes aggressive sound is softened and made intimate without losing any of its strength.
It's sad to see Motel Raphael step offstage at the end of the night, but it surely won't be too long before they play again. Their debut album is in the works, but in the meantime, you can check out "Ghosts" at motelraphael.bandcamp.com. Keep an eye out for any of their upcoming shows – these Montrealers are definitely worth seeing live.


Mysterious, unusual shapes and curves characterize the work by Aatifi. Beginning to study painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Kabul in 1989, Aatifi already gained reputation when he was awarded the first prize for calligraphy and composition by the Afghan ministry of culture. The prize which honoured his unusual exposure with calligraphy was awarded to him again the following year. From childhood onwards, he had learnt the trade of calligraphy and developed over the years a completely new simplicity of iconography out of the traditional abundance of the oriental art of writing.
Aatifi, who today lives and works in Bielefeld in East-Westphalia, takes up subjects rooted in the art of calligraphy. He uses stylistic devices of modern art as well as borrowings from the oriental art of writing. Even during his time in Kabul, his pictures did no longer correspond to the definition of classic calligraphy. Nowadays, his works consist of fragmented characters whose alignments are meaningless in their simplicity. His compositions exclusively deal with the interaction of design and aesthetics, of energy and dynamic, of depth and space. Therefore, his works unfold to a universal effect – they evoke a free interpretation and timeless modernity. In his graphic works, Aatifi focuses on the complex technique of aquatint-lift ground which comes as close as possible to his pictoral style. With the help of his partly over-sized copper printing plates he creates filigree and powerful works on paper of high contrast and expressiveness.


Clean energy technology company Camco has signed contracts with Anhui Conch, one of China's largest cement producers.
The contracts will see Camco provide assessment and monitoring services for 37 individual energy efficiency projects at cement production facilities owned by Conch.
Collectively, these projects are designed to generate 29.5-million Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) during the period 2012 to 2020.
Twenty-four of the projects are operational, 16 of which have already been successfully approved and registered under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) with a total approved volume of 14.2-million credits.
For the remaining 13 projects, Camco will provide the carbon project development, as well as the assessment and monitoring service.
