The Loss Of Einat Agmon Is Felt Thousands Of Miles Away
Posted on May 1, 2020 (May 2, 2020) by Tony Zambito
Many in the communities of musicians, audiences, and artisans were saddened by the news of the passing of Einat Agmon. Einat left our earthly world for the heavenly embraces of angels this week after fighting a courageous battle against cancer. With her husband, Dave Pinchevski, they moved to Israel to take on this fight with Einat's family support when she found out she had cancer. Given only three months to live, it was an abrupt departure. In her indomitable spirit, she beat the three months.
We have been in a mind-numbing daily barrage of COVID-19 news and none of it has been good. Her many friends in the Buffalo community were shaken out of our suspended life of existence with amplification when the news of Einat's death began to circulate. A revealing testament of the impact she had on the people she met and influenced.
Einat was a true artisan in every sense of the word and what it means. She crafted high-quality jewelry that art festivals and art shows eagerly awaited. She worked hard on her craft of developing a unique vocal jazz style and repertoire. And, she worked equally hard on the art of relating to people; becoming a mentor to many of the young college students – in both the arts and music – during her time in Buffalo.
The outpouring of sentiments on Facebook is evident in her working hard on the art of relating to people. Here are just a few:
"Although I was pretty new to the Buffalo music scene and didn't really know anyone, Einat made sure I felt welcome to this open-mic jam session."
"Her incredible vocal talent always impressed me and I feel I learned a lot from her as a person as well as a vocalist."
"Today we lost one of the most wonderful people I have ever known."
"My heart breaks hearing about my friend Einat Agmon. I'm grateful to have had a genuine relationship with her. We made music and talked about the world."
"Einat was such a presence. Like, one of the most unique humans I've ever met, and truly special."
Einat Agmon was born in New York City and raised in Israel. In 2003, she moved to Buffalo to study music and pursue her desire to craft the art of vocal jazz. I asked her, more than once, why she moved to Buffalo from Israel back then. Her response, with a smile, was always the same – "Buffalo is such a cool place."
Just before her being diagnosed with cancer, she was evolving her craft of vocal jazz into a major force. Her style and repertoire had developed into a sultry and soulful sound. One that mesmerized you immediately. Her vocals had elements of a Billie Holiday jazz feel with the loudness and emotions that defined Janis Joplin.
Here is a track she did with The Fronstreet Men, an organ trio formed by her husband Dave:
In her artisan way, she and Dave surrounded themselves with youth to mentor and created Blue Stone Groove. A jazzy bluesy ensemble. Check it out – from 2014:
One of my favorite moments was getting a chance to gig with Einat. We agreed to experiment on a trio that just consisted of her on vocals, Ben Levitt on bass, and myself on hybrid percussion. We did Amy Winehouse's "Valerie" amongst other songs that night. It was riveting.
Einat visited Buffalo last year and it was an emotional reconnection. This was captured at the Gypsy Parlor by Becky Davis after she was begged to get up and sing – she sang "Valerie":
https://www.facebook.com/rebecca.s.davis.9/videos/10220193395642603/
In 2017, I became the Music Director of the Northwest Jazz Festival in Lewiston, NY. As one who encouraged and supported her efforts to craft her vocal jazz art, I knew Einat needed to be at this festival. Her singing stopped the foot traffic up and down the street that evening. I am so glad this moment was captured.
On that evening, Einat began a new wave of next-generation performers who are becoming important to the future of the jazz festival. It was befitting she represented such that year.
In our lives, many people come and go. Sometimes, people we encounter make a connection. Make an impact. No matter how brief the time. In minutes, months, or years, we can be impacted by someone. I believe Einat, in her pursuit of being a modern-day artisan, sought to do such that in everything she did and with every person she met.
I know I speak on behalf of the many friends she made here in Buffalo. Several with much deeper friendships developed over the years than I. Forged through music, art, and the misfortune of cancer. Einat Agmon will be sorely missed. Yet, as it has when she abruptly packed up to go back to Israel to be with her family, her presence and spirit will continue to shine brightly for us all.

I stumbled on a pretty cool platform called SnapGuide for sharing How-To guides the other day. It's a fairly new site, and it's especially nice for mobile viewing -- although for now, they only have an iOS version. It looks like a great tool for small businesses owners and marketers to share tips in their area of expertise. The guides look great browsing via mobile. This could also be a nice tool for sales reps introducing decks on the fly.
Here is a how-to guide I put together covering some of the important things you can do to boost your Google+ Local search rankings. Enjoy.

You've Still Got Mail
Brandon Verblow, Forecast Analyst
It has been more than two decades since AOL popularized email with the catchy "You've got mail" greeting. So ubiquitous was it in its heyday that it was the title of a rom-com starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Since then, however, the way that people use the internet to communicate has evolved significantly. AOL and Yahoo recently shuttered their once popular instant messenger services, as mobile messaging, social networking, photo sharing, and video chat have risen to prominence. You've Got Mail has made way for The Social Network. But despite these innovations, email remains a digital mainstay.
As part of the research behind our recently published "Forrester Analytics: Email Marketing Forecast, 2018 To 2023 (US)" report, we uncovered three email trends that might surprise you:
Younger users are sticking with email. Despite the notion that younger users are most susceptible to overlooking email in place of shiny new messaging and social networking apps, more users ages 12–17 are using email than are using either Snapchat or Facebook. Even as monthly Snapchat usage among 12–17-year-olds jumped from 39% in 2014 to 67% in 2017, email adoption grew from 69% to 82% over the same period.
Email usage is growing. With a penetration rate of 96%, overall email usage as a percentage of online users ages 12 and older is undoubtedly saturated. However, smartphone email usage has been growing, and there is still plenty of headroom for growth given a penetration rate of only 61%. More people accessing email on their smartphones means opportunity for them to send and read more messages. Importantly for marketers, mobility also makes it possible to craft email communications that are more contextually relevant.
Consumers like company emails . . . sort of. Forrester Analytics' Consumer Technographics® survey data has shown an upward trend since 2013 in the number of consumers saying that they have signed up for company emails in each of 14 industry sectors. At the same time, consumers are also indicating that they are increasingly dissatisfied with the emails they get from companies. The takeaway for marketers: Customers want to hear from you, but their expectations are rising. They increasingly demand emails that are personalized, contextual, and relevant. Marketer investments in tools to develop smarter email messages that satisfy these criteria will be an important factor driving future email marketing spending.
For more on the forces that will power email marketing spending over the next five years, the types of vendors that will benefit, and the ways marketers can take full advantage of email to achieve their objectives, see the full forecast report.

Angry management
Every kid in this group wants to fly. Every kid in this group has too much ballast.
Mr. Nak's Angry Management group is a place for misfits. A place for stories. And, man, does this crew have stories.
There's Angus Bethune and Sarah Byrnes, who can hide from everyone but each other. Together, they will embark on a road trip full of haunting endings and glimmering beginnings.
And Montana West, who doesn't step down from a challenge. Not even when the challenge comes from her adoptive dad, who's leading the school board to censor the article she wrote for the school paper.
And straightlaced Matt Miller, who had never been friends with outspoken genius Marcus James. Until one tragic week—a week they'd do anything to change—brings them closer than Matt could have ever imagined.
Chris Crutcher fills these three stories with raw emotion. They are about insecurity, anger, and prejudice. But they are also about love, freedom, and power. About surviving.
Grade 9 Up—Crutcher's fans will relish the reunion with some familiar characters in this collection of three stories set in the Pacific Northwest and thematically united around anger. "Kyle Manard and the Craggy Face of the Moon" takes Angus Bethune (Athletic Shorts, 1991) and Sarah Byrnes (Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes, 1993) on a road trip to Reno to confront the mother who abandoned her years before. In "Montana Wild," student journalist Montana West (The Sledding Hill, 2005) defends her article on medicinal marijuana in a very public shouting match with the right-wing school-board president, who also happens to be her father. "Meet Me at the Gates, Marcus James" unexpectedly binds gay Marcus James, sole black student at his high school, with complexly devout Christian Matt Miller (Deadline, 2007) and sympathetic teacher John Simet (Whale Talk, 2001), when racist football players hang a pink noose on Marcus's locker. Subthemes packed into the mix include foster care, sexual awakening, body image, and hope, played out through lively plot and dialogue. Too many stereotypical characters weaken the stories' impact, including blindly bureaucratic school administrators and knee-jerk conservative Christians. The unnecessary conceit that all the characters attend an anger management course led by Mr. Nak (Ironman, 1995, all HarperCollins) remains undeveloped, and the stories end too abruptly. Despite these flaws, readers will encounter colorful characters and thought-provoking subject matter in a quick read.--Joyce Adams Burner, National Archives at Kansas City, MO
Crutcher resurrects characters from previous books and short stories in the three novellas comprising this book, which takes its title from the nickname of a teen counseling group. Misfits Sarah Byrnes, facially scarred by her abusive father (Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes; Greenwillow, 1993/VOYA August 1993), and obese Angus Bethune, who has two sets of gay parents (A Brief Moment in the Life of Angus Bethune, Athletic Shorts; Greenwillow, 1991/VOYA April 1992), find each other and some insights on their respective lives. Liberal-minded Montana West (The Sledding Hill; Greenwillow, 2005/VOYA June 2005) battles her conservative father and the school board, which he heads, over freedom of the high school student press. In addition, she must advocate for her emotionally stunted five-year-old foster sister, whom her controlling father wants to return to the foster care system. The only black and openly gay student in his high school, Marcus James confronts bigotry, primarily in the form of Roger Marshall, whose family has a history of intolerance and violence. He is aided by an unexpected source, fellow student Matt Miller, a devout Christian who barely knows Marcus. There is nothing new here, but that is fine. It is vintage Crutcher, in his inimitable fashion, denouncing bigotry and hatred, advocating for abused children, and promoting Constitutional freedoms. Readers might not remember some of the characters, but that does not matter. The stories are well written, action packed, engrossing, and at times humorous. Readers will root for some characters, despise a few, and feel emotional tugs for others. Characters are portrayed realistically, and not all stories have happy, storybookendings; however, Crutcher infuses the endings with hope. A good introduction to Crutcher, his latest book will certainly please current fans as well. Reviewer: Ed Goldberg
Crutcher has done what readers often long for: he has come back to tell the story of some of his minor characters. The characters have not aged and each comes to the forefront of the novella. Recent Crutcher novels have become somewhat pedantic, with social issues taking a larger role in the lives of the protagonists, but that focus works very well in the novella format, which is centered around a single focus, exploring its impact on the characters. These three novellas are terrific stories filled with contemporary issues; they explore the human implications of social posturing. They are organized as the therapy notes of Mr. Nakatani, the anger management teacher Crutcher's readers met in Ironman. Sarah Byrnes tries one more time to make sense of the abuse of her father and her abandonment by her mother. This time she is with Angus Bethune, a big kid who has two sets of homosexual parents and yet is a heterosexual high school boy lusting for a girlfriend. In the second, Montana West decides to stand up to her ultra conservative adoptive father regarding the freedom of the high school press. She is also trying to save her mother and foster sister from her father's domineering control. In the last of the three, Matt Miller is a likeably committed Christian who intends to stand up to the hypocrisy of his small town in its acceptance of gay, African American, Marcus James. Language in the stories is very adult and situations are not for the faint of heart; these novellas take on tough issues with all their gritty details. High school readers will certainly want to talk about what happens in these stories and how those actions are represented in the world and culture around us. Reviewer:Janis Flint-Ferguson

If the WAB app settings UI does not have an option to add the about to the header then it is because that is not supported. Adding things manually to config.json because they work for other themes is not a good idea.
Thank you, Robert. Yeah, I am not going to mess up the config.json. In stead, I have added a link in the header and open a custom widget for my purpose.


The FSU/Asolo Conservatory for Actor Training has announced that its "Shakespeare in the Gardens" series will return to the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in April 2018, following a sold-out production of A Midsummer Night's Dream in 2017. This will be the first year of a new three-year partnership between the FSU/Asolo Conservatory for Actor Training and the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, with annual "Shakespeare in the Gardens" productions planned through 2020. This partnership is funded in part by a $60,000 grant from the Charles & Margery Barancik Foundation. The inaugural "Shakespeare in the Gardens" production of A Midsummer Night's Dream was staged in April 2017 and seen by over 2,900 patrons—many of whom had never before attended a FSU/Asolo Conservatory production. The Selby Gardens also invited a noticeably different audience demographic, showing increases in younger patrons and families. The Conservatory will open the next "Shakespeare in the Gardens" production—Much Ado About Nothing—on April 18, 2018. Tickets are currently available.

OTTAWA, Dec. 3, 2013 /CNW/ – The Mining Association of Canada (MAC) today released its annual report on mining industry payments to Canadian governments, prepared by ENTRANS Policy Research Group. Now in its tenth year of publication, the report found mining payments to federal and provincial government coffers total an estimated $71 billion from 2003 to 2012 in aggregate mining taxes and royalties, corporate income taxes and personal income taxes paid by mining sector employees.
In 2012, there was a decrease of approximately $820 million in royalties and mining taxes paid compared to 2011, as well as an estimated decrease of corporate income taxes (CIT) from $2.4 billion in 2011 to $1.2 billion in 2012 (based on current, incomplete CIT data for 2012). Interestingly, however, 2012 saw a significant increase in the sector's personal income taxes in 2012 – $290 million or 15 per cent. This increase is a result of the mining industry's role as a major, high-paying employer in Canada. In 2012, the sector experienced strong employment growth of approximately 6,700 new mining jobs and equally robust annual earnings increases.
According to Natural Resources Canada, the Canadian mining industry employed more than 418,000 workers across the country in 2012 – representing one in every 41 Canadian jobs. Moreover, mining workers earn the highest wages and salaries of all industrial sectors in Canada. The average weekly pay for a mining worker in 2012 was $1,599, which surpassed the earnings of workers in forestry, manufacturing, finance and construction.
"This report helps demonstrate that a strong and growing mining industry is good news for Canadians through the significant payments that flow from the industry to governments, as well as in jobs, business development and community investments. For the Canadian mining industry to continue its contributory role, however, it must have access to a regulatory and economic environment that allows it to stay competitive, especially when there is still uncertainty in the global economy," said Gratton.


Whether you wear light or heavy makeup, we all want a makeup remover that will do the job without irritating our skin from vigorous rubbing. So if you're looking for a makeup remover that actually works, look no further because I have rounded up 4 makeup removers that are tried and tested in effectively removing all traces of makeup (including waterproof mascara).
Simple's Micellar Makeup Remover Wipes are a must-have for me and I am always re-purchasing them, especially for when I'm travelling. They just work extremely well and they're gentle at the same time so they don't dry out my skin at all. I mentioned these in my Lazy Girl Essentials because when you've had a late night and all you want to do is fall into bed, that's where these come in handy. If you haven't given these wipes a try I strongly suggest picking up a pack, they're simply fantastic!
I really enjoy The Body Shop's skincare range, including their Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter which smells SO lovely and fresh. The lush creamy texture just melts into your skin and breaks down even the heaviest of makeup, leaving your skin feeling smooth and hydrated. It's suited to all skin types and it also thoroughly removes eye makeup without any sort of irritation. A little goes a very long way with this product, so it's great value for money and gives you amazing results.
This is the second re-purchase from the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water range and I absolutely love them! Their Pure Active All In 1 Micellar Cleansing Water (for skin prone to imperfections) is perfect for oily-combination skin types, and it's not too harsh or drying. It helps to keep my oily skin under control, and another thing that I like about these micellar waters is that there's no need for rinsing. It removes all of my makeup effortlessly and I'm always left with clean and fresh feeling skin.
For any of you who like luxe skincare, Ole Henriken's Pure Truth Melting Cleanser might just be right up your alley. This gel to oil to milk formula contains Vitamin C, Rose Hip Oil and Virgin Cherry Oil for intense hydration and nourishment. I like to use this once a week to treat my skin as it is so luxurious and rich in skin loving ingredients. It removes makeup as well as all that dirt and grime build up with ease, so my skin feels purified and moisturised.

Crikey, these smaller veggie beds are so much easier to prepre and plant up! In a little more than an hour I'd de-weeded the beans and peas bed, mainly of last year's sprouting sunflower seeds, and sown the three varieties of seeds we're growing there this year.
In the ever-lasting battle against the slugs, we're growing up wigwams for the beans, and we've two wigwams set aside for Sultana, a favourite climbing French bean. French beans became a staple favourite quickly here at Merrybower as they don't suffer from the stringiness problem kidney beans tend to, and are great hot or cold in salads. We've also managed to track down a climbing pea! Every year our peas get nobbled by slugs, and being low down they end up as unsightly bushes wanting to fall over in the winds. However, I've managed to track down a variety called 'Victorian Colossal Climbing', which can grow to 6-8 feet high! They're an 'Alderman' pea, but Victoriana Nurseries in Kent have apparenty been selecting seeds from their Alderman line for over fifty years, to create an upright vigourous pea plant for those of us who don't really like bending to pick peas.
And where would we be without our broad beans – we love 'em! Baby broad beans lightly cooked in butter, on toast with sliced up streaky bacon – yum! This year we're growing Suprifin – a white broad bean we've not grown before. Usually we go for Scorpio, but they had none in, so we bought these! We really do need to start saving more of our own seeds!
One thing I really couldn't do without is 'my stick'. A few years ago I found a nice piece of holly wood, and whittled a really simple 4.5ft stick from it, with notches every foot, and a few inch notches near the base. When it comes time to plant out, some twine, two small sticks and 'my stick' are pulled out and put to use – it's so much simpler than guessing.
Today I sowed 30ft of beetroot, 30ft of parsnips, 10ft of celeriac and 10ft of swede – the varieties of which can be seen in this post. When it comes to beetroot, I've found with the F1 hybrids the germination rate is so good I just add two seeds every 4 inches, and it saves thinning out once they've sprouted.

The grid is not prepared for the 21st century
January 10, 2022 By Microgrid Knowledge Editors 1 Comment
In the second article of this special report series brought to you by Microgrid Knowledge and Think Microgrid, we'll explore why the electric grid is not prepared for the 21st century.
Read the entire vision paper.
Climate disaster is upon us. We are not ready.
Electricity is essential to survival and prosperity in a contemporary world, but the electric grid — the vehicle through which most electricity is delivered — is a clear casualty of climate change. A series of climate disasters has disrupted the electric grid over the last decade, highlighting the vulnerability and brittleness of the system.
High winds cause significant damage to utility infrastructure. The list is long of coastal storms that have led to massive power outages. In 2012, Superstorm Sandy left 8 million people without power, some for weeks. In 2017, Puerto Rico experienced the largest blackout in US history when its entire grid collapsed during Hurricane Maria. Some were without power for a year. During the last decade, we have also seen forced public safety power shutoffs in California and other western states, with utilities preemptively turning off electricity to prevent electrical wires from sparking wildfires. This disruptive practice could continue for as long as a decade, according to a California utility executive. In the Midwest, an August 2020 derecho spawned winds of 140 mph (equivalent to a Category 4 hurricane), creating the most expensive thunderstorm in US history, with an estimated $11.5 billion in damages. The storm knocked out power to nearly 2 million people. Most recently, on Aug. 29, 2021, New Orleans lost all eight of its transmission lines when it was struck by Ida, a Category 4 hurricane. More than 1 million people lost their power.
Windstorms aren't the only threat to our electric grid. Extreme heat and cold also interrupt the flow of electricity. Extreme heat throughout the West led to rolling blackouts in California in the summer of 2020, and extreme cold crippled Texas' electrical system in February 2021. In this last example, the situation was so dire that the entire Texas electric grid was moments from collapse — an event that would have knocked out power to most of the state for weeks, if not months, according to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), the grid operator.

These are just a few examples of the storms and natural disasters that have caused expensive and sometimes deadly power outages in the US over the last decade. The US experienced 1.33 billion outage hours in 2020, up 73% from roughly 770 million in 2019, according to PowerOutage.US, an aggregator of utility blackout data. Grid outages vary from year to year, depending on the weather, but it is reasonable to assume they will continue to trend upward in the future, given that climate disasters are expected to intensify. Presently, grid quality in the US is ranked a lowly 23rd, below countries in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and South America.
Outages are more than an inconvenience. Injury and death can result when heating systems, air conditioning, and medical equipment do not function properly. More than 200 people died, most from hypothermia, during the 2021 Winter Storm Uri power outages in Texas. In 2017, 12 elderly people died in Hollywood, Florida, when a nursing home's air conditioning failed following a power outage caused by Hurricane Irma.
Power disruptions also lead to economic hardship, causing lost business sales, product spoilage, missed sales opportunities, manufacturing and shipping delays, and loss of work hours for employees. A 2021 survey by S&C Electric and Frost & Sullivan found that 80% of commercial and industrial companies with average revenues of $75 million per year experience outages every month, resulting in an annual loss of $1.2 million per company. And these outages do not need to be lengthy to be expensive. More than half of companies surveyed said it was very important that power be restored within one minute.

Electrification is upon us. We are not ready.
All of this comes as the need for power grows. The United States is working toward the electrification of the transportation sector, and, to a lesser degree, the electrification of buildings and industrial processes. These changes, part of the country's effort to decarbonize, will double the need for generation capacity by 2050, according to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. The Boston Consulting Group said that to facilitate growth of electric vehicles (EVs), utilities will need to invest between $1,700 and $5,800 in grid upgrades per EV through 2030. This could increase utility rates as much as 12%.
Such high cost is due, in part, to the need to rebuild the electric grid itself for the emerging era. EV charging requires a change in the pattern of energy use; for example, the US will need charging stations along remote roads that do not have adequate power lines because they required little power in the past. Expanding those lines can cost as much as $1.5 million per mile. Placing lines underground can increase the cost four to 14 times!
Demand will grow for electrical capacity in dense urban areas to serve fleets of delivery trucks and corporate vehicles. Unfortunately, these areas have little real estate available for new power plants, substations, or transmission and distribution lines. And, depending on the charging patterns of EV owners, the timing and location of demand peaks will likely change, redefining where energy infrastructure is needed.
Digitization, flexibility and decentralization transform energy
How can we ready the grid for 21st century electrification without the construction of expensive new large-scale energy infrastructure?
We can reduce outages and decrease these new infrastructure costs through refined energy management made possible through intelligent software and distributed energy resources (DERs) like microgrids. The combination adds both flexibility and control over energy flows locally and across the grid, facilitated by automated market signals. This allows both consumers and producers to take advantage of the fact that emissions and energy prices are heavily influenced by the timing and location of energy use.
Typically, when demand is high, energy prices rise. Emissions may also rise during periods of demand if grid operators are forced to employ their highest polluting resources to satisfy the immediate need for power. Distributed energy resources, such as microgrids, solar, energy storage and generators, provide an alternative. Because they are decentralized — found alongside businesses, homes and buildings dispersed throughout the grid — they can be customized to serve the grid in locations where large power plants cannot. These resources are also quick to respond as conditions change moment by moment on the grid.

A microgrid future
Microgrids and DERs give rise to customers who are more engaged. These customers control their own energy, both consuming and producing, and sometimes earn revenue and aid the larger grid in the process. When considered properly in planning grid upgrades, these software-based, distributed energy systems can help avoid costly construction of poles, wires and power plants. This is one reason why more brick and mortar for the electric grid is not the full answer in a digitized age. In fact, at times, it may be wasteful.

"The Boston Consulting Group said that to facilitate growth of electric vehicles (EVs), utilities will need to invest between $1,700 and $5,800 in grid upgrades per EV through 2030. This could increase utility rates as much as 12%."
Within these mandates of 80% grid decarbonization by 2030 will be expensive in the amount of "stranded assets" the utilities expect to recover from decommissioning their fueled generation assets, then the needed infrastructure upgrade of being able to interconnect energy generation regions from coast to coast and north to south. One needs to take the Boston Consulting Group and multiply that rate increase by about a factor of four. How about 48% by right around 2030. IF one is talking about 100% decarbonization, that last 20% may require another 30% or more to finish the job. Electric rates won't be coming down any time soon, unless you buy your own solar PV and smart ESS resilience system.

The presidential debate
Barack Obama performed better than Mitt Romney. But no one is likely to care
United StatesOct 27th 2012 edition
THE third and final debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, held on October 22nd in Florida on the subject of foreign policy, was not that useful a guide to how the two candidates differ in views of the world. Mr Romney set out to reassure wavering voters that he was not a warmongering heir to George W. Bush, at one point declaring: "We want a peaceful planet." He succeeded in this, but in the process made his foreign-policy criticisms of the past several months look like so much rhetorical bluster. Which is the real foreign-policy Romney is now thoroughly unclear.
In the debate, the Republican challenger studiously agreed with Mr Obama on practically everything. He concurred that a diplomatic approach based on sanctions was a viable strategy for blocking Iran's nuclear programme. He grumbled only that sanctions could have been tougher, earlier, and suggested that he would seek to indict the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, for incitement to genocide (a tall order, diplomatically and legally).
Mr Romney declared that he had no desire to see American military force used in Syria, tweaking the president only for failing to help rebels unite against the Syrian regime of Bashar Assad, and for failing to arm "responsible" insurgents. He unceremoniously ditched his long-standing vow to consult American military commanders before withdrawing troops from Afghanistan in 2014. He would bring all troops home then, he vowed, breezily claiming that the training of Afghan forces was proceeding "apace".
In the second presidential debate, the two men had argued fiercely over the killing of America's ambassador to Libya, with Mr Romney raising the charge that Mr Obama and his aides had sought to mislead the public by playing down the idea that the murder was a planned terrorist attack, and instead describing it as a spontaneous protest sparked by an anti-Muslim film made in America. That argument had ended in something of a semantic tangle. In the third debate Mr Romney steered clear of the whole tricky business.
Mr Romney did repeat allegations about Mr Obama apologising for America overseas and emboldening enemies with his weakness. Yet he also cunningly attacked the president from the left, arguing that—while drone strikes against Islamic militants were all very well—a comprehensive approach was needed, supporting civil society and gender equality. "We can't kill our way out of this mess," Mr Romney said.
He continued his China-bashing, standing by his vow to declare China a currency manipulator on his first day in office. He spelled out that this would allow tariffs to be applied to Chinese imports "where they're taking jobs".
An overall stress on avoiding fresh bombs-and-bullets wars was electorally wise. But it also meant Mr Romney ceded in advance any hope of a victory to match his game-changing win in the first debate on October 3rd. Instead, Mr Obama won the third debate, taking the opportunity to paint himself as an experienced commander-in-chief, and aggressively—even derisively—mocking Mr Romney as a flip-flopper, determined to take American foreign policy back decades to the cold war.

If the clash left viewers unclear as to how America's foreign policy would unfold under a Romney presidency, it was an excellent window into the thinking of both the Obama and Romney campaigns in the closing stages of a dead-heat election. Mr Romney clearly feels that his conservative supporters are locked in place, allowing him to tack to the centre. Mr Obama's forays into macho point-scoring, on the other hand, suggests a continuing need to fire up a reluctant base.
To a degree that was at times absurd, both men used a discussion nominally about geopolitics to woo vital rustbelt voters and those worried about the economy (the pair tussled over car-industry bail-outs, outsourcing, optimal class sizes in schools and the small-business development rate in Massachusetts). They competed for the attention of undecided women voters, vying to cast matters of war and peace in emotional terms.
Mr Obama scored the only real zinger of the night. Punching back at Mr Romney's complaint that the American navy had fewer ships than at any time since 1917, the president retorted that America had "fewer horses and bayonets" too. On the fine detail of defence spending Mr Obama was rather shifty, however, denying any White House involvement in a threatened "sequester" that would impose drastic, automatic cuts on defence and other domestic spending if a deal cannot be agreed with Congress on future tax and spending. The sequester "will not happen", Mr Obama said in the debate, though that decision is not in his gift: the sequester is an automatic sanction jointly agreed by Democrats and Republicans in a giant game of fiscal chicken.
The debate was most notable for its insularity, with both candidates constantly attempting to drag world affairs back to the domestic. Mr Romney decried the budget deficit as a strategic weakness. Even Osama bin Laden's killing got the treatment, with Mr Obama explaining that it had brought "closure" to Peyton, a young woman he had met whose father was killed in the September 11th 2001 attacks.
Foreign-policy debates are generally a sideshow. In war-weary America, geopolitics are nothing but a distraction this year. But whoever wins on November 6th will still find the world's problems piling up in his in-tray.

Diminuendo
Diminuendo is the third collection of Evan Johnstone's stubbornly original work. Stories contemplate romantic staples such as the primacy of love and the consolations of art, among other compensations for the occasional difficulty encountered in life; stories of crime, clerical life, death and restaurant reviewing complete a darkly frothy mix. All are tinged with doubt, irony and a playfully surreal realism, founded in a distinctively poetic prose.
Some of the stories are parodies of genre fiction, such as crime and romance, a witty engagement with a literary tradition while also developing the stories in new directions.
In 'The Greengrocer's Daughter', caseworkers at the NSW Department of Community Services suspect, given that Australia does not have an indigenous monkey population, that the brains of babies or young children are being used to supplement the lucrative export of monkey brains. An undercover operative, with whom the narrator strikes up a friendship, is obliged to pass himself off as a monkey to investigate the case.
In 'Home Dentistry', a man asks an old friend, an investigative librarian, to clear his name after he is arrested for the murder of his wife; insights into life and relationships abound as she clears up the mystery, despite his obsession with dentistry.
In 'Visits to the Country', Inspector Kant (previously met in Abandoned Places) attempts to solve another murder, this one involving a rape and two murders and an outbreak of Gnosticism in a small village on the south coast of NSW.
There are a number of diverse stories of romance and relationships which skirt and embrace the subject ingeniously. For instance, 'Romance' and 'Analogues of Displacement' provide a few glimpses of romantic love, encompassing the pain of lost love, unrequited love, requited love, and love between people who have no interest in each other at all.
In 'Mrs McCready', an old woman grieves for her husband during his time in a nursing home, and after his death, and recalls fondly their early years together.
'A Counsellor' is a satirical look at a relationship counsellor who appears to believe that romantic relationships, especially those involving sex, are impossible. He seems to doubt the wisdom of his clients even aspiring to a happy relationship, yet welcomes their visits on financial and entertainment grounds. He is also, paradoxically and hypocritically, unfaithful to his wife.

WASHINGTON — For the first time in at least half a century, a majority of Americans are worried about violence toward Jews and other ethnic and religious minorities, according to a poll released by the Anti-Defamation League Thursday.
The latest data, based on 3,600 interviews from January and February 2017, and another 1,500 in October 2016, show 52 percent of Americans saying they are "concerned about violence in the US directed at Jews."
The response marks the first time since the anti-hate group began tracking US attitudes toward Jews 53 years ago that the number has climbed above 50%.
An even higher portion is worried about the American Muslim community; 76% of respondents said they were "concerned about violence directed at Muslims."
Both groups have been the targets of a growing number of hate crimes over the past several months.
Since January, nearly 150 bomb threats have hit Jewish community centers, Jewish day schools and other institutions nationwide, causing the evacuation of dozens of centers and prompting some parents to remove their children from JCC programs. The threats have come in repeated waves, via phone and email, and many of the institutions have been targeted more than once.

The responses were gathered before officials revealed the main suspect behind the threats was a Jewish teenager of dual Israel-American nationality who may be suffering from mental issues. The suspect was arrested in the southern city of Ashkelon last month in connection with a majority of the hoax bomb threats in the US, Canada and elsewhere.
There have also been recurrent incidents of swastikas being drawn on schools and other buildings, and hundreds of Jewish tombstones that have been vandalized in the US.
The survey found a slight uptick in anti-Semitic views, with 14% of Americans expressing anti-Semitic attitudes, a slight increase from 10% in 2015. Older and less educated respondents were the most likely to hold anti-Jewish views.
The polls found that a higher proportion of Muslim Americans, 34%, held anti-Semitic views than the general population. That number, the ADL noted, is lower than among Muslims in Europe and the Middle East and North Africa, where 55% and 75% hold anti-Jewish views, respectively. The polls also found that half of Muslim Americans hold a favorable view of Israel.

ADL polling also showed 84% of Americans wanting the government to "play a role in combating anti-Semitism."
That figure rose from 70% in 2014, the last time the question was asked in their survey of American attitudes toward Jews.
Since January, several mosques have been burned and otherwise attacked — a trend that no doubt contributed to the ADL's latest polling finding that 89% of Muslim Americans are "concerned about violence directed at them and Islamic institutions" in the country and 64% saying they don't think the government is taking enough action to ensure their security.
"The good news in this research is that today a large majority of Americans do not subscribe to common anti-Semitic stereotypes," said ADL chief Jonathan Greenblatt. "It's also encouraging that a record number of Americans are concerned about violence against the Jewish and Muslim communities, and are troubled at how intolerance has infected our politics."

"But it's discouraging to know that Muslims and other minorities feel unsafe," he added. "Clearly, there is still a lot of work to do."
The ADL — which began polling anti-Semitic attitudes in the US in 1964 — found that a plurality of respondents were unsatisfied with the way US President Donald Trump responded to anti-Semitic incidents as a candidate. Forty-nine percent of Americans felt he "should have done more" to discourage anti-Semitism.
Over the course of the campaign, Trump was strongly criticized for failing to disavow David Duke, the former KKK leader, who endorsed his candidacy enthusiastically. He also drew the support of the alt-right movement, an amorphous designation that encompasses a broad swath of white supremacists, neo-Nazis and far-right ideologues.

Most participants in the survey did not accuse Trump himself of being anti-Semitic — although 33% of respondents did. "One-third of Americans think President Trump is personally anti-Semitic," the ADL reported.

But most answered that they believed he held various other prejudices: 59% said they thought he was anti-Muslim and 53% said they thought he was anti-Latino; 54% said that he broadly held "racist views."
In October, the ADL found in a report studying the rise of vitriol directed toward Jewish journalists on social media that 2.6 million tweets over a 13-month time span contained language associated with anti-Semitism — and that most of it came from self-identified Trump backers.
Since the waves of bomb threats to Jewish centers started in January, some Jewish leaders have expressed frustration at the administration's handling of the matter — including a seeming reluctance Trump had to forcefully condemn or even address these occurrences.
In February, Trump opened his maiden speech to a joint session of Congress denouncing anti-Semitic attacks, but the remarks came hours after he reportedly told a group of state attorneys general visiting the White House that he suspected the bomb threat called may have been planted out of political motives.

Following the arrest of the Israeli-American teenager, numerous Jewish groups, including the ADL, expressed relief but also said it did not allay fears over anti-Semitic attacks in the United States.
"Even though it appears that the main culprit behind the majority of these attacks has allegedly been identified, anti-Semitism in the US remains a very serous concern," Greenblatt said at the time.

Bolsonaro asks the courts to disregard a compromising document
Rob Wilson | January 20, 2023 | World | No Comments
Former Brazilian leader Jair Bolsonaro has asked the electoral court not to take into account, in its investigation into the October presidential campaign, the draft decree which could have allowed the cancellation of the ballot found at home of a former minister.
The document dated 2022 "has never been published and was not going to be", assures the defense of the former far-right president in a response sent Thursday to the electoral justice.
She argues that the document "is apocryphal, has never left the private residence of others, has not been published or made public (…) has never passed the stage of cogitation".
The Supreme Electoral Tribunal is investigating whether the former president abused power during the October presidential campaign.
He had given Mr. Bolsonaro three days to explain himself on the document that the police found at his former Minister of Justice, Anderson Torres.
Jair Bolsonaro never digested his electoral defeat, after being beaten to the wire by the new socialist president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
The document provided for the federal government to take control of the Superior Electoral Tribunal (TSE), which oversees the smooth running of the ballot, "to ensure the preservation and restoration of transparency, and to approve the regularity of the electoral process of the presidential election of 2022".
A measure considered unconstitutional by many jurists. In practice, the intention would have been to annul the election of Lula.
The document is not dated, but the name of Jair Bolsonaro is at the bottom of the page, in a space provided for his signature.
He was found at the home of Anderson Torres, who was arrested and is being investigated for his alleged connection to the January 8 insurrection attempt in Brasilia , by radical supporters of the former president.
The current Minister of Justice, Flavio Dino, considered last week that the draft presidential decree was "a link in the chain with a view to 'a coup' and that it showed 'the true objective of the events of January 8'.
Jair Bolsonaro, who has been in the United States since December 30, two days before the end of his mandate, is also the subject of an investigation for the riots in Brasilia, of which he denies any involvement.

Ospedale S. Lucia Roma
The S. Lucia Foundation was inaugurated in 1960 and since 1992 has been one of 33 Scientific Therapy Institutes (IRCCS - Istituti di ricovero e Cura a Carattere), a hospital of national importance, specialized in neuromotor rehabilitation therapy. The Institute is equipped with research laboratories, and its teaching programme includes 7 specialisations for doctors, 4 level 1 degrees, and 1 specialisation in psychology. It is located in a parkland on the Via Ardeatina, just a few kilometres from the city centre. The need to upgrade the facility to modern organizational, technological, structural and quality requirements, has led to the creation of a new hospital next door to the old building, which now houses residential patients. The next step will be to refurbish the old building and integrate it functionally in the new one.
The client, under the directorship of Francesco Mezzanotte, the technical director, opted for the Plana series. With the aim of optimizing the quality of residential care and its associated services, the following have been installed: The sound and data transmission system uses socket outlets which enable the patients to communicate directly with the exterior by telephone and internet, and the staff have direct access to the hospital clinical databases. Sound and audiovisuals: The bed heads are equipped with TV and signal connectors for hooking up TV and radios for each patient, each equipped with personal headphones. The CCTV system, in the rehabilitation areas, enable the staff to record and monitor the progress made by each patient. This requires the use of a wide range of Plana devices depending on the specific needs of the various facilities offered by the hospital.

Scholars have long debated the effects of institutionalisation on the prospect of achieving social change. While many of the social movements that flourished in the 1960s and 1970s were initially characterised by protest activity against the state and against dominant norms, feminist and queer movements have over time also become partially institutionalised through their inclusion in legislation, policies, and practices, both at national and international levels. Yet as institutional channels are increasingly contested, new forms of mobilization are emerging that are less institutionalized and activate change in different ways. In line with a wave of global protests, more radical agendas linked to gender, body and sexuality have emerged and intensified. Much of this takes place in an era of austerity and/or deepening economic inequalities as well as social tensions around race, gender, class, religion, and citizenship status. In this respect, it remains necessary to simultaneously question the concept of 'institutionalisation' and what effects it may have on different groups, movements and academic fields.
This conference stream aims to bring together the latest research – both empirical and theoretical – that both uses and develops gendered analyses of institutions, legislation and politics. We aim to discuss future research agendas in a variety of settings, contexts, and disciplines (e.g., Gender Studies, Critical Race Studies, Disability Studies, Queer Studies, History, Sociology, Political Science, Education, Literature, Ethnology, Media Studies, Cultural Studies).
We welcome papers that address a range of topics, including:
(de)institutionalisation of feminist and queer movements, their discourses and practices
the agency of feminist and queer activists as actors in institutional change and institution-building
practices, policies and discourses of gender-mainstreaming
the opportunities and perils generated by the institutionalisation
feminist and queer reflections on diverse international practices, such as politics, activism and advocacy
growing mobilisation and counter-mobilisation on issues of race, reproductive justice, migration, religion, peace movements, and post-conflict reconstruction
feminist agendas, conservative threats and backlashes
feminist and queer trajectories in the context of state-organized capitalism and neoliberal frameworks
