Mr. Alper founded Prestige Shipping Group, a logistics company responsible for exporting 500,000 autos and boats annually
Mr. Alper also serves as the vice president of sales for ArchiTech, a New York-based product development consultancy, a role he has held since 2015.
SECAUCUS, NJ, July 21, 2022 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dimitry Alper has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Drawing on his more than 10 years of experience in international shipping and trade, Mr. Alper has been recognized for founding the Prestige Shipping Group, an international logistics company responsible for exporting worldwide more than 500,000 automobiles and boats annually from the United States, and serving as the company's chief executive officer. In this role, he secures trade routes, coordinates with clients abroad, secures space in ocean carriers, and operates a warehouse in the U.S. and several offices in Ukraine. In addition to his primary work with Prestige Shipping Group, Mr. Alper also serves as the vice president of sales for ArchiTech, a New York-based product development consultancy, a role he has held since 2015.
Mr. Alper came to the logistics field from a background in law, having served for five years as a licensed attorney specializing in maritime law. After earning a Bachelor of Arts in business and communications from Baruch College in 2006, he went on to attend law school, completing a litigation internship at the law firm of Levine & Blit and obtaining a Juris Doctor from the City University of New York School of Law in 2009. During that time, he held positions with the New York State Attorney General's Office and Newman & Okun. Additionally, he received certifications as a mediator in New York, with specializations in civil, corporate and divorce mediation.
Looking toward the future, Mr. Alper hopes to leverage his industry knowledge and expertise toward the expansion of Prestige Shipping Group's global presence and the increase of its market share. To remain informed about developments facing his industry and position himself for future growth, he has maintained his professional affiliation with several pertinent organizations, including the North American Automobile Trade Association and the American Bar Association. Outside of work, his civic interests include Baranova, a charity that supports soldiers in Ukraine, and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

Contract Law Appellate Court Opinion
AC38325 - Seven Oaks Enterprises, L.P. v. DeVito ("The defendant Sherri DeVito appeals from the judgment of the trial court rendered, after a jury trial, in favor of the plaintiffs, Seven Oaks Enterprises, L.P. (SOE), and Seven Oaks Management Corporation (SOM), on two counts alleging breach of contract and one count alleging breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. The jury awarded $1.325 million in damages to the plaintiffs. On appeal, the defendant claims that the trial court (1) abused its discretion in denying the defendant's motion to set aside the verdict and her motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict because the plaintiffs did not produce the original note at trial, there was insufficient evidence that the note was lost, and the plaintiffs did not have the right to enforce the note; (2) incorrectly instructed the jury regarding SOM's right to enforce the note; (3) lacked subject matter jurisdiction over SOE because it did not have the legal capacity to commence and continue the action; and (4) abused its discretion in denying her motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict and in refusing to set aside the verdict because neither plaintiff had a right to enforce the management contract, the alleged breaches did not cause any loss to the plaintiffs, and the jury could not determine with reasonable certainty the amount of damages sustained. We affirm the judgment as to SOE's claim regarding breach of the management contract and reverse as to SOE's claim of breach of contract regarding the note and all of SOM's claims.")

Chancellor extends furlough scheme until October
Chancellor Rishi Sunak has announced that the government's Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme will remain open until the end of October.
The furlough scheme will now be extended by a further four months with workers continuing to receive 80% of their current salary.
From the start of August, furloughed workers will be able to return to work part-time with employers being asked to pay a percentage towards the salaries of their furloughed staff.
The employer payments will substitute the contribution the government is currently making, ensuring that staff continue to receive 80% of their salary, up to £2,500 a month.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak said: "Our Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme has protected millions of jobs and businesses across the UK during the outbreak – and I've been clear that I want to avoid a cliff edge and get people back to work in a measured way.
This extension and the changes we are making to the scheme will give flexibility to businesses while protecting the livelihoods of the British people and our future economic prospects."
The scheme will continue in its current form until the end of July and the changes to allow more flexibility will come in from the start of August. More specific details and information around its implementation will be made available by the end of this month.
The government will explore ways through which furloughed workers who wish to do additional training or learn new skills are supported during this period. It will also continue to work closely with the Devolved Administrations to ensure the scheme supports people across the Union.

International Violence Against Women Act
An International Violence Against Women Act has been introduced in Congress.
Any country that allows acts of violence and terrorism against its own girls and women is a country that would also commit an act of violence and terrorism against The United States and any other country it deems unacceptable.
Countries that educate girls, economically empower their women and acknowledge a woman's physical and spiritual autonomy are economically prosperous and more likely to be Internationally peaceful and cooperative.
They are also less likely to be breeding grounds for religious and political extremists, including terrorists. It's a fact.
Because this is so, the International Violence Against Women Act is not a "women's issue" it is an International Security Issue.
Whatever we spend to educate girls and women, economically assist women in business development, strongly encourage legal autonomy for women even sanctioning countries that allow acts of violence against females will come back to us a hundred-fold in Peace, International trade, and third-world development and financial independence. Violence against women in much of the world includes: mass rape, throwing acid in girls faces, starving, medically neglecting, sex trafficking, manslaughter by AIDS and other STDs, infanticide, honor killings and forced and coerced abortion.
This must stop now. No more excuses.
Read Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide
if you require further evidence that the International Violence Against Women Act is not only a moral imperative, but also the single most effective strategy to beat terrorism around the world.
Read Nicholas Kristof's New York Times Columns for more information about just how dangerous the world is if you're born a girl. The fact that violence against females translates to terrorism around the world is a central narrative in his work.

LSU blanks Grambling to remain unbeaten
Brandon Berrio
In his career collegiate start, LSU freshman left-hander Jared Poche' pitched six innings of scoreless baseball Sundy in the Tigers' 6-0 win over Grambling at Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field.
LSU (3-0) faces Southeastern Louisiana (2-1) on Wednesday in Hammond at Pat Kenelly Diamond at Alumni Field. First pitch is at 6 p.m. on Cox Sports Television and the LSU Sports Radio Network.
Grambling fell to 0-3 with Sunday's loss.
Poche', a native of Lutcher, struck out three and only allowed four hits with no walks in Sunday's victory.
"Jared is going to be a very good pitcher for us, and we save evidence of that today," said LSU coach Paul Mainieri. "He is unusually poised for a freshman, and I could tell he was really amped up for this start today with a fastball topping out at over 90 miles per hour.
Also in his collegiate start, second baseman Kramer Robertson provided spectacular defensive work and score three runs to fuel the LSU offense.
"Kramer was a real sparkplug today both with his glove and on the bases," Mainieri said. "He's an excellent all-around athlete with great baseball instincts, and he made some tremendous plays today."
LSU got its first run of the day in the bottom of the second. Catcher Kade Scivicque started off the frame with a single to left before Robertson walked. Centerfield Andrew Stevenson then singled to left field to bring home Scivicque. While leftfielder Chris Sciambra was at the plate, Stevenson and Robertson executed a double steal, allowing Stevenson to score.
The bottom of the fourth produced two more runs for LSU. DH Dakota Dean reached first on a walk, Robertson was hit by a pitch and Stevenson laid down a bunt for a single. Sciambra hit a sacrifice fly to right field to score Dean, and shortstop Alex Bregman hit a fly out in foul territory to score Robertson.
Grambling threatened in the top of the sixth after a double by catcher Roger Diaz and a Dion Holbrook single. With runners on the corners, Poche' retired three straight batters via a pop out, a strike out and a ground out.
In the bottom half of the sixth, Robertson reached first on a walk. The freshman advanced to second on a wild pitch and scored on a throwing error by Diaz.
Junior Cody Glenn took the mound for LSU in the top of the seventh in relief of Poche'. Glenn pitched one inning and did not allow a hit.
In the bottom of the seventh, first baseman Chris Chinea hit a solo home run to left field. It was the first home run for LSU on the year and the first of Chinea's career.
Grambling's Brock Baker (0-1) was charged the loss. Baker pitched 5.1 innings, allowing seven hits and four earned runs with three walks and one strikeout.

Einat Admony: From RV Park Chef to Budding Falafel Magnate 0
The background of this week's guest on Special Sauce—chef, restaurateur, and aspiring falafel magnate Einat Admony—isn't that of your typical chef. She grew up in Israel, learning how to make couscous from her Moroccan neighbor, and, while in the army, quickly switched from driving a jeep to cooking for officers in the air force. Einat then spent four years bumming around Germany, living in an RV and cooking for all her neighbors in the RV park. (I kidded her about being the first and only executive chef at an RV park I had ever interviewed.) Her path to culinary success was hardly bump-free: Shortly after opening the original Taïm on a Greenwich Village side street, with $70,000 she and her husband,Stefan, had saved working in restaurants—she as a chef, he as a waiter—Stefan told her that they should close. The business was failing, and, oh yes, Einat was also pregnant with their first child.
How did they keep it open? And how are they introducing their uniquely delicious falafel to the rest of the country? You'll just have to listen to find out.
Lidia Bastianich: From Refugee to Culinary Star 0
Considering her many restaurants, books, and television shows, plus her involvement in the gourmet Italian marketplace Eataly, Lidia Bastianich might seem like a known quantity to serious eaters all over America. But take a listen to this week's Special Sauce and you'll realize just how extraordinary a woman she is, and what an incredible life she's led.
Serious Eats Culinary Director Daniel Gritzer Sings for His Supper 0
Daniel Gritzer, Serious Eats' culinary director, is in many ways our not-so-secret weapon. To learn more about the surprisingly nonlinear career path that landed him at Serious Eats (which involved two stints herding sheep in Europe), and about the martial art he practices (one he describes as physical, real-time chess), you're just going to have to listen.
Alex Guarnaschelli on Cooking for Beyoncé, Jay Z, and Prince 0
This week's guest on Special Sauce, Alex Guarnaschelli, is constantly juggling the roles of TV chef (she's a regular judge on Chopped), working chef (at the two Butter locations in Manhattan), and mom (to one beautiful daughter). When you're faced with all those demands, it probably doesn't hurt to be whip-smart and funny as hell, which Alex most definitely is. What more could a podcast host ask for?


At the UN, Pakistan pressed for reform of the Security Council on a democratic basis to make the present 15-member body more representative, accountable, transparent and effective.
Speaking in the General Assembly in the debate on the 'Question of equitable representation and increase in membership of the Security Council', Pakistan's Ambassador to the UN, Maleeha Lodhi said that Pakistan's principled position was based on its firm commitment to a rules-based international order.
She argued that adding new permanent members to the Council would not address the inherent dysfunctionalities stemming from the Security Council's permanent membership and the veto. It would instead reinforce them.
New permanent seats, Ambassador Lodhi stressed would create fresh chains of inherited privilege and "would invariably threaten, not strengthen, norms of democracy, accountability and transparency in the Council".
Those seeking such a status, she maintained, were offering "fixed solutions to transient situations".
"It also undermines the democratic and representative nature of the reform process", she added.
"For us", the Pakistani envoy stressed, "the reform process is not an end in itself; but an expression of our commitment to the fundamentals of multilateralism".
It is also based on "an outlook that prizes a spirit of flexibility and compromise to achieve common good, as against unilateralist approaches that aim at achieving narrow self-serving interests", she maintained.
Articulating Pakistan's vision for Security Council reform, Ambassador Lodhi said that the Council should be "in sync with the ever-changing and dynamic global landscape".
She pointed out that, "in an environment where nearly a third of the membership have never served on the Council, an expansion in the permanent category at the cost of non-permanent members would significantly diminish prospects for many smaller states to ever be elected to the Council".
Ambassador Lodhi also addressed the issue of veto in her statement and asked how a larger body would reconcile the interests of its members when it could not do this in the case of its current permanent members.
"It is imperative", Ambassador Lodhi stressed, "that UN does not merely act on behalf of member states, but acts for them; and that it not only embraces the spirit of our times, but also epitomize these values".
The Pakistani envoy underscored that non-permanent members had traditionally championed greater inclusiveness and transparency in the work of the Council.
Ambassador Lodhi concluded by saying that the negotiating process should identify convergences and build on them. She said that "finding common ground required flexibility and compromise by all sides".
"Anything less", she added "would be regression not reform".

Q: Why is pidof not working? In the output of ps aux, I can see the process just fine:
# ps aux | grep diff
root      7787 28.7  0.0   9368  4516 pts/3    D+   13:56  20:33 diff -qr mnt/mnt/md/ mnt/mnt2/
root     13130  0.0  0.0   6144   876 pts/4    S+   15:07   0:00 grep diff

But pidof claims not to be able to find anything:
# pidof diff
# echo $?
1

Looking at the man page, there is no info on what to do when lost a process, pidof has. /proc/7787/exe is a symlink to /usr/bin/diff and /usr/bin/diff itself is a regular file and an ELF. According to the man page, this ought to match.

A: After some investigation with strace, it seems that pidof also checks the status of the processes. My diff process was in D state most of the time, meaning it is waiting for I/O a lot. With this knowledge, I ran pidof a bunch of times (this is within ~3 seconds):
# pidof diff
7787
# pidof diff
# pidof diff
7787
# pidof diff
# pidof diff
# pidof diff
# pidof diff
# pidof diff
# pidof diff
# pidof diff
# pidof diff
# pidof diff
# pidof diff
7787
# pidof diff
7787

It indeed returns it 'sometimes', seeming to confirm the suspicion that pidof only return processes that are not in D state.
Checking the source code of pidof in src/killall5.c (obtained using apt source sysvinit-utils), the answer lies on line 599:
if ( (strchr(process_status, 'D') != NULL) ||
     (strchr(process_status, 'Z') != NULL) ){
   /* Ignore zombie processes or processes in
      disk sleep, as attempts
      to access the stats of these will
      sometimes fail. */

A: In sysvinit 2.96 and later, pidof -z will include processes that are in disk I/O ('D') or zombie ('Z') state.

Bigg Boss 10: KRK thinks Bani J will win and he could be right for once
Kamaal Rashid Khan aka KRK has tweeted that Bani J will win the tenth season of Bigg Boss and said the makers have already decided it
Shalini Ojha
Kamaal Rashid Khan is a lot of things (most of them self-proclaimed). An ace critic by his own admission, KRK has now taken to prophesy as well. According to KRK in the ongoing tenth season of Bigg Boss, Bani J will be the winner. Now, one is forced to take this statement of KRK not seriously because he had earlier predicted that Rohan Mehra will win the show. But the Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai actor was evicted a few days ago.
In a number of tweets, KRK (who himself participated in the third season of the show) called the viewers 'idiots' for wasting their votes. He said the results are already rigged and Bani J would be the winner.
While it might be difficult to take KRK seriously since the last contestant on which he was pinning his hopes was evicted, it won't be wrong to negate the probability that the show is scripted. There have been various incidents when former Bigg Boss contestants have accused the show of the same. Considering the way Bani was favoured for a larger part of the season, it wouldn't come as a surprise that she wins. Ardent followers of the show would agree Bani stayed in good books of host Salman Khan and she was never reprimanded for any of her actions.

You all the people are idiots who will vote for any contestant to win #BiggBoss10 Coz Viacom's under contract artist Bani is fixed winner.
— KRK (@kamaalrkhan) January 27, 2017
The finale that is due this Sunday will be fought among Lopamudra Raut, Bani J, Manveer Gujjar and Manu Punjabi. It should be noted that there are various reports going around the media which claim that Manveer Gujjar will be the winner of Bigg Boss 10. Only time will reveal the truth.

Victoria Beckham takes style inspiration from David as they twin for country walk

David and Victoria Beckham enjoyed a country walk in matching hats. (Getty Images)
She may run her own fashion label – but even Victoria Beckham is happy to take style advice from elsewhere, including husband David, from time to time.
The former popstar, 47, revealed that she had been encouraged to put on a tweed flat cap by the ex-footballer, 46, for a recent country walk.
In a post on Instagram, the mother-of-four can be seen in a field sweetly giving her other half a peck on the cheek.
Along with her covered head, she wrapped up in a tweed jacket with a green roll-neck jumper.
Meanwhile, the former sportsman accessorised his hat with a blue shirt, green tie, beige V-neck jumper and a green, checked sleeveless jacket.
His wife wrote: "When @davidbeckham makes you wear it!! Kisses from our Saturday walk in the British countryside!"
Her post has received over 550,000 'likes', with many fans commenting that they were the "best couple".
However, it's not the first time that the pair – who married in 1999 – have opted for matching outfits.

They famously wore identical black leather looks to a Versace party in London, shortly before they walked down the aisle.
Earlier this year, Beckham opened up about the values she is trying to instil in her daughter Harper, 10.
Speaking on the Breaking Beauty Podcast, the star said: "With Harper, I always just say, 'be the kindest girl in the room. Who is the smartest at school? It's not important. Who is the prettiest? Not important.
"It's who is the kindest. Be that little girl, if there is someone in the playground that's on her own, be kind to her, cos guess what? Mummy was that little girl. I was bullied at school and I was miserable. So always be the little girl that's encouraging'."

Description: The meaning of taqwa and an outline of some of the benefits of attaining taqwa.
· To understand what the word taqwa means and to have a working knowledge of the concept of taqwa and what it involves.
· Ihsan - perfection or excellence. Islamically, it is to worship Allah as if you are seeing Him. While one does not see Allah, he or she is aware that Allah see all.
Taqwa is an Arabic word that does not easily translate into one or two words of English. It is most often defined as God-consciousness but sometimes it will be translated as piety or fear of Allah. Taqwa is derived from root letters that mean 'to shield'. Thus Islamically taqwa takes on a distinct meaning. According to some scholars taqwa is being conscious of Allah's presence and His knowledge thus being motivated to perform righteous deeds and avoid those, which are forbidden. Noted Islamic scholar Ibn Rajab said the essence of taqwa was to create for oneself a shield that would guard one against Allah's anger or punishment.
· Having taqwa of Allah causes a person's affairs in this world to become easy. One of the biggest benefits of taqwa is that Allah will grant a person with taqwa, or a person struggling sincerely to attain taqwa, peace of mind, contentment and tranquility in this life. There will be no all-consuming worry or grief.
· Taqwa provides a way out of difficulty. Part of being human is searching for a way to escape our problems and difficulties. People look for solutions and ask advice from family and friends and may even seek advice from newspaper columns. In times of severe stress some people take drugs or drink alcohol as a means of escape but having taqwa means we have access to the greatest advice there is or ever will be. The words of Allah in the Quran and advice from His Messenger Prophet Muhammad. Taqwa is the key to solving all dilemmas and problems.
"... And whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him (has taqwa), He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty)." (Quran 65:2).
· A person with taqwa performs righteous deeds and those deeds are accepted and loved by Allah. Taqwa is the motivating force; it pushes a person to righteousness because those with taqwa know that Allah observes inner motives and outward actions. Taqwa is nurtured by worshipping and serving Allah with ihsan and it increases when one carries out righteous acts such as prayer, fasting, contemplation and remembrance of Allah.
· Taqwa provides protection from Shaytan. When Shaytan approaches a believer trying to beautify an evil deed, taqwa serves as a shield, which that protects the person from evil.
· By the will of Allah Taqwa blesses one's sustenance and grants one economic prosperity. Humankind constantly searches for ways to increase sustenance and facilitate a life of comfort and ease. Sometimes in our eagerness we forget that it is Allah alone who is the Provider and Sustainer of not only us but the universe and all that exists. If we truly desire an increase in provisions then taqwa is our means to acquire it. Allah has informed us what is available to those who possess taqwa and place their trust in Him.


The following sets are ideal as "Wagoneers" to accompany any of the French & Indian War Wagons and carts, as well as accompanying the regular troops at the Battle of Bushy Run.
The militia/frontiersman spirit derives from an early American dependence on arms to protect themselves from foreign armies and hostile Native Americans. Survival depended upon everyone being capable of using a weapon. Prior to the American Revolution there was neither budget nor manpower nor government desire to maintain a full-time army. Therefore, the armed citizen-soldier carried the responsibility. Service in militia, including providing one's own ammunition and weapons, was mandatory for all men.

Q: Point SpotLight in same direction as camera three.js (Flashlight) I'm really new in this stuff. I want to make a simple 3D scene, where i can fly around with PointerLockControls, but i want also to have some kind of flashlight. So spot light should point same direction as camera does.
I have made spotlight to follow camera but its target is bound to 0,0,0.
What is the best way to achieve this?
Thank you.

A: Inspired by WestLangley's solution above, I found out that spotlight.target and spotlight itself can be added as children to the same object, whether that is the camera or another object, like a car or a gun. Then they are positioned relative to the parent object, so that there is no need to keep copying the position from one object to another.
You could, for instance, do something like this:
scene.add(camera);
camera.add(gun);
gun.position.set(-30,-30,0);
gun.add(spotlight);
spotlight.position.set(0,0,30);
gun.add(spotlight.target);
spotlight.target.position.set(0,0,31);

And now the gun will, by default, follow the camera, and the spotlight will light up along the gun. If the gun is for some reason rotated (deflecting a bullet or crawling on the ground or whatever), the spotlight will rotate too. THREE is a nice piece of software. :-)
If you attach the spotlight to the camera and point it in the same direction as the camera and don't position it away from the center, then the light cone will look constantly circular. For many applications it looks cooler and more realistic that it changes shape dynamically in the projection. A small offset is all it takes (such as in my example above, though I haven't tested that one).

A: The SpotLight target is an Object3D, not a Vector3.
spotlight.target = myObject;

The best solution in your case is to use a PointLight instead, and use this pattern:
scene.add( camera );
camera.add( pointLight );

If you still want to use a spotlight, then do something like this:
scene.add( camera );
camera.add( spotLight.target );
spotLight.target.position.set( 0, 0, -1 );
spotLight.position.copy( camera.position ); // and reset spotlight position if camera moves

It is not generally required that the camera be added as a child of the scene, but it is required in this case because the light is added as a child of the camera.
three.js r.69

A: I had the same problem which I solved as follows:
flashlight = new THREE.SpotLight(0xffffff,4,40);
camera.add(flashlight);
flashlight.position.set(0,0,1);
flashlight.target = camera;

Since a SpotLight's .target needs to be an object (and not a position) I found it mentally easier to simply place the flashlight directly behind the camera, and then aim it at the camera.  Thus the light shines through the camera and lights up the things in front of it.
This approach is fine if you are after a flashlight effect where the flashlight is held close to the chest (central to the body) and not off on one side.

Boston's Museum Of Fine Arts Accused Of Racially Profiling Middle School Students Of Color
The group of Black and Brown students from Helen Y. Davis Leadership Academy were followed around by security guards and told by staff "no food, no water, no watermelon."

By Breanna Edwards	· Updated October 23, 2020
Boston's Museum of Fine Arts has issued a formal apology, a week after a group of middle school students – all of whom are children of color – say that they were subjected to racism from not only staff at the museum but from other visitors as well.
Students from Helen Y. Davis Leadership Academy Charter Public School in Dorchester had gone to the museum as a reward for good grades and excellent behavior. That reward quickly turned sour, Marvelyne Lamy, an English language arts teacher at the school, explained in a Facebook post.
"At the very beginning of the tour, one of the staff gave an overview on what to expect and told the kids no food, no drink, and no watermelon (we didn't know they said this until the end)," Lamy wrote in her post. "There were other groups of students that were there, but those students were white. We were instructed not to touch any of the artifacts in the museum, yet the white students there touched the displays several times while security looked on without saying anything. The minute one of our students followed suit, the security guards would yell at them that they should not touch exhibits. Throughout our walk through, they followed us. Many of our students grew agitated. At the end, we went through the gender-bending exhibit where the security guard followed our every movement."
One of the interactive exhibits included music, and so one of the carefree students started dancing, having a good time as she soaked up the exhibit. That's when another visitor at the museum made a wholly inappropriate comment.
"There was a patron that said to one of our students that it's a shame that she's not learning and she's preparing for stripping," Lamy told CBS Boston.
"Every single exhibit we went through, we were being followed," she added. "The security guard is literally just in our face."
Lamy said that she had had enough. Unwilling to further subject her students to such transparently racist treatment, she was preparing them to leave when another patron further twisted the knife.
"This lady walks in and she's like, 'these f–king Black kids are in the way,'" Lamy explained.
"We reported all these incidents to the staff at the MFA, and they just looked on with pity. They took our names and filed a report," the infuriated teacher added in her Facebook post. "Their only solution, they will give us tickets to come back and have a 'better' experience. We did not even receive an apology. The worse part about all of this is seeing the hurt look on my children's faces as this was their first time experiencing racism first hand. It's sad that although our students are well behaved and our teachers are well educated, that we are still seen as less than and as criminals. I cannot stress to you enough, I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THE MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS. They will not see a dollar of mine. If you are a person of color, please do not support this museum until they improve how they treat people of color at their institution. "
The post drew attention, and on Thursday afternoon, museum executives went to the school to hear about the students' experience themselves.
"All of us were sorry to hear about the experience these young people had at the museum, and we know we should and will be better than that," Katie Getchell, the MFA's Deputy Director, said, according to CBS Boston. "We're in the process of rolling out some new training next month, so we're figuring out how to expedite that and maybe bolster it with more."
The day prior, the museum issued a public statement also apologizing.
"We want to apologize specifically to the students, faculty, and parents of the Davis Leadership Academy. We deeply regret any interactions that led to this outcome and are committed to being a place where all people trust that they will feel safe and treated with respect. We look forward to ongoing conversation and commit to using this situation as an opportunity to learn and create a culture of unwavering inclusion," the statement read.

Елайджа Вільямс (; 7 жовтня 1809, Бристоль — 8 вересня 1854, Лондон) — помітний англійський шахіст середини 19-го століття. Він був першим президентом шахового клубу «Bristol & Clifton» і видавцем книги ігор від «the Divan Club». Свого найбільшого успіху він досягнув на Лондонському турнірі 1851 року, де переміг видатного британського гравця Говарда Стаунтона в плей-офф за третє місце.

Стаунтон звинуватив Вільямса, що той тратив у середньому 2,5 години на хід під час деяких матчів, і цією стратегією примушував суперників втрачати концентрацію. За словами Стаунтона, після такої повільної гри Вільямса в Лондоні 1851,  наступного року організатори запровадили обмеження часу 20 хвилин на хід. Однак інші джерела суперечать цій точці зору. І дійсно Стаунтон причиною своїх програшів часто називав нестерпно повільну гри опонентів. Часто цитують зауваження Стаунтона під час гри проти Вільямса, «... Елайджа, ви не просто маєте сидіти там — ви повинні сидіти там і думати!»

У своїй книзі «The Complete Chess Addict» Майк Фокс і Річард Джеймс назвали його «бристольським ледарем» через нібито вкрай повільну гру. Це прізвисько надихнуло гітариста Лео Коттке написати мелодію «Бристольський ледар» (він також застосував термін «sitzkrieg» щоб описати стиль гри Вільямса).

Вільямс помер у Лондоні, ставши жертвою спалаху холери.

The interim head of the agency that oversees drainage, sewer and drinking water systems in New Orleans is being replaced and three deputy directors have resigned, New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell announced Monday.
The new interim director, introduced at a Monday news conference, is retired Coast Guard Rear Adm. David Callahan. He will oversee the transition to a permanent executive director, Ghassan Khorban, who takes over next month after heading the Milwaukee Department of Public Works.
Callahan becomes the fourth interim director since flash flooding last August revealed numerous problems with the pumping system that drains city streets.
More recently, problems with a new billing system led to many residents disputing bills, which affected the agency's revenue.
Callahan replaces Jade Brown-Russell, an attorney named interim director after Cantrell succeeded Mitch Landrieu earlier this year.
The resignation of three deputy directors comes after Nola.comThe Times-Picayune reported they had received large pay increases, even as the agency was under financial strain. Brown-Russell, in a statement last week, said the raises were in line with a new pay plan resulting from a consultant's study.
Cantrell said she asked Brown-Russell to seek their resignations.
It was unclear what role Brown-Russell will have at the Sewerage and Water Board after being replaced by Callahan.

Its so tempting to eat out, and routinely spend on entertainment. When you work hard, it's important to have balance. That doesn't mean you shouldn't look for value and ways to have just as much fun while spending less. When you're heading out, be creative and consider a weeknight instead of a weekend.

San-X in the New York Times
San-X was mentioned in the New York Times for the first time on May 14, 2010! This is huge everyone!
Sanrio is also being usurped by smaller, nimbler rivals. The formerly little-known stationery maker San-X has scored two huge hits in Japan with its panda character, Tarepanda, and its bear, Rilakkuma — which has charged up the Character Databank charts, ranking fifth in the latest survey.

In Search of Adorable, as Hello Kitty Gets Closer to Goodbye
By HIROKO TABUCHI
TOKYO — At age 36, Hello Kitty may be running out of product lives.
That is the fear of executives at the Sanrio Corporation, the Japanese company that created the cute, cartoonish white cat in 1974, and groomed her into a global marketing phenomenon worth $5 billion a year.
In Japan and around the world, Hello Kitty has been licensed over the years for products that include dolls, clothes, lunch boxes, stationery, kitchenware, a Macy's parade balloon and even an Airbus owned by Taiwanese airline EVA Airways. But amid signs that Hello Kitty's pop-culture appeal is waning, especially at home, where sales have shrunk for a decade, the company has struggled to find its next-generation version of adorable.
Sanrio's recent flops include Spottie Dottie, a pink-frocked Dalmatian, and Pandapple, a baby panda. Even the moderately successful My Melody (a rabbit) and TuxedoSam (penguin) show no signs of achieving global Kitty-ness.
"We badly need something else," said Yuko Yamaguchi, who has been Sanrio's top Hello Kitty designer for most of its 36 years. "Characters take a long time to develop and introduce to different markets," Ms. Yamaguchi said. "But Kitty has been so popular it's overshadowed all our other efforts."
One of Sanrio's latest efforts is Jewelpet, a group of 33 sparkly eyed animals each with its own look. Diamond the black kitten is ladylike and decks out in pink bows. Sapphire is cool and prefers to wear blue. Sanrio's thinking is that with so many to choose from, one has to stick.
A Sanrio savior would arrive not a moment too soon.
In a closely watched ranking of Japan's most popular characters, compiled each year using sales data by the Tokyo-based research firm Character Databank, Hello Kitty lost her long-held spot as Japan's top-grossing character in 2002 and has never recovered.
In the latest survey, released this month, Kitty ranked a distant third, behind the leader, Anpanman, a character that is based on a Japanese jam-filled pastry and is produced by Nippon Television. The second spot is still held by the venerable game and animation brand Pokémon, owned by Nintendo.
"The character business is basically a wide-open field," Hikaru Takayama, chief executive of Fanworks, an animation and character consultancy here, said at a recent convention of the Tokyo Contents Market. "It all comes down to management."
"Going forward, perhaps smaller companies will be quicker to come out with new ideas," Mr. Takayama said. "Characters can develop into manga, anime, potentially a big business," he said, referring to the popular Japanese comic book and animation art forms.
Sanrio's sales, which come from products as well as licensing, have reflected Kitty's fading fortunes, shrinking for 10 consecutive years since 1999. The company's overall sales in Japan fell 3.3 percent in the 12 months ending in March, Sanrio announced Friday, as both licensing and sales of good slumped. Hello Kitty fatigue is hitting Japan first, and hard, the company indicated.
But a one-time 28 percent jump in overseas sales — which Sanrio attributed to an accounting change, as well as several big contracts overseas tied to Hello Kitty's 35th birthday celebrations — helped the company swing back to a net profit of 4.37 billion yen, in contrast to a loss of 1.50 billion yen the previous year.
Sanrio now relies on overseas sales for 30 percent of its revenue, the company's executive director, Susumu Emori, said Friday. But Mr. Emori was cautious about Sanrio's future overseas prospects. "The last quarter was extraordinary, and we expect both sales and profit to fall this year," he said.
Analysts say part of the problem is that Sanrio has oversold Hello Kitty, which appears on products as various as T-shirts, toilet paper and toasters. Sanrio was recently forced to write off the 500 million yen in debt held by Harmony Land, one of its two character theme parks in Japan, after a falloff in visitors, although the park remains open.
"Sanrio was initially very careful in making sure the Hello Kitty phenomenon didn't get out of hand," said Naohiro Shichijo, an associate professor in creative industries at the Waseda Institute for Advanced Studies in Tokyo. "That's the unspoken rule of the character business: you can't let a character get too wildly popular all at once," he said. "You want to go for longevity."
Hello Kitty, introduced on a vinyl coin purse in 1974, became an instant phenomenon in Japan, and sales at Sanrio grew sevenfold in the cat's first three years. But even then Sanrio's founder and president, Shintaro Tsuji, expressed nervousness that consumers would burn out on the brand. Sanrio's sales tapered off in the late 1970s, and then again in the mid-1990s when Japan entered a long economic slump.
But around 2000, Kitty surprised Sanrio by rebounding in a big way, with Hollywood stars wearing the cat on T-shirts and carrying Hello Kitty bags.
"But when you have a boom, you have a bust," said Mr. Shichijo, the professor. "People get sick of it. Now Sanrio's in trouble."
Sanrio has tried to keep Hello Kitty up to the times: sensing a move away from Japan's love affair with the cute, or "kawaii" aesthetic, it has pushed an edgier look for the cat in the last three years, using as much black as pink.
Still, a sense of crisis is evident at the Tokyo offices of Sanrio, where 30 designers, led by Ms. Yamaguchi, are charged with developing new characters. At periodic product meetings, each designer presents as many as 20 characters for consideration by Ms. Yamaguchi. Of those, perhaps a dozen are chosen for trial sales at a pilot Sanrio store in Tokyo.
These days, designers are also urged to make sure their characters work across multiple media — a lesson Sanrio learned the hard way with Hello Kitty. Because Kitty had no mouth, it was difficult for the cat to break into television animation, depriving Sanrio of a lucrative source of revenue.
When the company created a talking Kitty for a pilot cartoon series, it set off a fury among fans loyal to the cat's mouthless look, Ms. Yamaguchi said.
And though Sanrio goes to great length to create back stories for its characters — Kitty, for example, was born in London and likes to eat cookies — that biography is not compelling enough to draw many fans, according to analysts, who cite weak characterization as a drawback in Sanrio's product lines.
Characters developed by Walt Disney, in contrast, typically make their debuts in blockbuster movies that propel them to fame and provide a springboard for further storytelling. The hit Disney animated film "Lilo & Stitch," for example, which featured a Hawaiian girl and an alien friend, made a successful transition to a television series, all the while bringing merchandising and licensing income to Disney.
In fact, "Lilo & Stitch" has been so popular even in Japan that the series has been localized — with a Japanese girl named Yuna in place of Lilo and Okinawa replacing the Hawaiian setting.
Sanrio's designers are also told to aim their new characters at children in elementary school or younger — even if much of the marketing, especially in Japan, will be aimed at older consumers. When younger children embrace a character, many tend to remain fans even later in life, said Miyuki Okumura, the lead designer behind the Jewelpet series. "If a character captures the heart of a little girl, she's going to love that character into her teens, at least," Ms. Okumura said. "Then when she has children, she'll again buy that character for them," she said. "That's what we're aiming for."

Q: Maximal torus of Chevalley group $Sp(4)$ Consider a chevalley group  a field $K$, with the right chevalley basis.  Let $\alpha$ be a root. Let $x_{\alpha}(t)$ be the corresponding root space. Define $w_{\alpha}(t)=x_{\alpha}(t)x_{-\alpha}(-t^{-1})x_{\alpha}(t)$ then define $h_{\alpha}(t)=w_{\alpha}(t)w_{\alpha}(1)^{-1}$. Then chevalley  proves in his exposition that the subgroup $H$ generated by the  $h_{\alpha}(t)$ where $\alpha$ varies over the roots and $t$ varies over $K$ is isomorphic to the maximal torus.
But I don`t see this in the case of $Sp(4)$. Its Lie algebra is $C_2$. For example let $\alpha =e_1-e_2$ be the fundamental root. Then I take $x_{\alpha}(t)=1+t(E_{12}-E_{43})$. Then I get that  $h_{\alpha}(t)$ is not a diagonal matrix. Where did I go wrong?
After Nick's comment my new question is
Does there exists a chevalley basis of $Sp(2n)$ such that the $h_{\alpha}(t)$ are diagonal matrices?
The chevalley basis I am using is in Cartar's book ' Simple groups of Lie type'. The definition of the root space that I am using is in the yale lectures of steinberg which is in math.ucla.edu/~rst/YaleNotes.pdf
My definitions are the following:
Let $\Phi$ be the set of roots. Let $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{H}+\sum_{r \in \Phi} \mathfrak{g}_r$. Then we choose  $X_r\in \mathfrak{g}_r$ such that $\{h_s, s \in R;X_r, r \in \Phi \}$ is a chevalley basis where $R$ is a basis of the root system and $h_s$ is the fundamental coroot. Then we define $x_r(t)=exp(tX_r)$. This is my definition. In my case $X_{e_1-e_2}=E_{12}-E_{43}, X_{e_2-e_1}=-E_{21}+E_{34}$. So $x_{e_1-e_2}(t)=1+t(E_{12}-E_{43})$ and $x_{e_2-e_1}(t)=1+t(-E_{21}+E_{34})$. With this  my calculation shows that $h_{e_1-e_2}(t)$ is not a diagonal matrix. This bring problem for me.
Thanks for help in advance.

A: The question is not well-formulated (for instance, it's not clear what you mean by "the right chevalley basis", and Chevalley is a proper name).   Most important, your third sentence doesn't make sense:  "Let $x_\alpha(t)$ be the corresponding root space."  The elements here should be in a related matrix group, which gets complicated when there are longer root strings than in special linear types.  That's the main problem here, I think, since your definition of $x_\alpha(t)$ for the case of type $C_2$ isn't precise.   Here the long simple root $\alpha$ you start with has a root string involving $\alpha + \beta, \alpha +2\beta$. where $\beta$ is the short simple root.   So the expression for $x_\alpha(t)$ gets more complicated.  (You should specify what sources you are following, since there are some differences in notation and terminology.)
In Chevalley's original 1955 construction of adjoint Chevalley groups, his starting point is certainly a Chevalley basis of the corresponding complex simple Lie algebra (which is not unique but involves delicate sign choices).    Once that is in place, the group elements imitate characteristic 0 exponentials of root vectors.    But this gets tricky, especially over fields of small characteristic, since the exponentials have summands with $n!$ in the denominator.  The Chevalley basis helps to circumvent this problem in arbitrary characteristic.
[Note too that Steinberg in his 1967-68 Yale lectures broadened the framework to allow for arbitrary representations in characteristic 0; here you build the exponentials into the Kostant basis for the universal enveloping algebra.    People working in algebraic K-theory subsequently drew more conclusions from Steinberg's formalism in order to study what happens over $\mathbb{Z}$ or other rings of "integers" in local and global fields.]
ADDED: At first I assumed you were working as Chevalley originally did, with the adjoint representation.  Here that involves $10 \times 10$ matrices, so direct calculation is lengthy.   But apparently your problem arises when the representation used is the 4-dimensional one, in which case you apparently made a computational error.  As Paul comments, the $4 \times 4$ matrix $h_\alpha(t)$ is indeed diagonal.   Aside from computational glitches, your term "root space" certainly doesn't apply to the matrix $x_\alpha(t)$.  But the matrix notation depends on specifying a (faithful) representation of the Lie algebra you begin with.   In Steinberg's approach there is a "Chevalley group" attached to each such representation of the given simple Lie algebra.

Chapter 19: Albert's Past—His Friend, Lucard
July 16, 2021 iokioka Honing Magic Arrow to the Limit 3 comments
My old friend Flin stared at me, rooted to the spot.
I stared at my old friend Flim, rooted to the spot.
We suddenly reunited after ten years, so it was no wonder that it took us time to process what was happening.
"…Um, would you two happen to be acquaintances?"
Laura, who was out of the loop, timidly asked us a question.
"Huh, ah, yeah."
It was Flin who responded.
"I know Albert from our school days—"
"Wait a second."
I interrupted Flin.
"Sorry, Laura. Could you step out for a bit? I'll tell you some other time."
"Yes! It's alright! Well then, I'll be on my way!"
Laura quickly exited the cafeteria after speaking.
I did something awful to Laura…
However, I still couldn't bring myself to tell her about it.
To talk about my relationship with Flin meant that I'd need to tell her I was once an academy student.
I'd need to tell her how I failed the first time around—
Deep down, I still had yet to get over it.
I probably need to tell her one day.
Laura told me about her own lineage, after all.
I have an obligation to do the same.
However, I didn't want to do it today. It's not something I wanted to readily talk about out of nowhere.
Flin sat in the seat where Laura once was.
"It's been a while, Albert."
"I guess so… I never thought… I'd meet you here…"
"It's not that surprising, you know? There's a surprising amount of cases where graduates work at their former academies."
Then, silence.
Flin changed the subject.
"So you came back to the academy, huh."
"…Yeah. Lot's of things happened…"
"You haven't told Laura about it? Your return?"
"I haven't… My past isn't something I can talk proudly about, after all."
Flin nodded her head in agreement.
"I understand. I won't say anything then, not even to the academy. There are still teachers from ten years ago, but—I don't think anyone's caught on yet."
"However, I know how you tried your best back then. I don't think it's something to really be embarrassed about, you know."
"…The reality is that I ran."
"I'm sorry—I couldn't live up to your guys' expectations ten years ago."
"It's fine… I'm glad that we got to meet again—and I'm glad you didn't give up on magic."
Flin gave me a sweet smile.
Then, she presented the envelope to me, which was left on the table.
"That's right. I forgot, but here. Make sure you come along to the water quality investigation too."
"…You're not gonna ask me if I can fit it into my schedule?"
"Yup, since you're being forced to participate."
After telling me that with a smile, she stiffened her face and spoke in a whisper.
"…They mean business by this, you know."
"I'll tell you because it's you, but keep this a secret, alright?"
Flin pointed her index finger upwards.
"Laura was just an accidental omission, but you were suddenly forced in on orders from the higher-ups—make absolutely sure he participates, they said."
"The higher-ups?"
"This is the Royal Magic Academy—meaning, it's an order from the kingdom."
Flin shook her head.
"I don't know any more than that, though. Did you do anything that'd get the attention of the kingdom, Albert?"
"I wonder… It's always been my intention to lead a pure, proper life."
This was strange.
A student as mediocre as myself would be added to an elite unit of surveyors—not to mention by orders from the kingdom.
…I didn't get what was happening in the slightest. I couldn't think of anything that would've made this happen.
"Hooow suspiciooous~"
Flin laughed with a chuckle.
"Well, who cares! A chance is a chance, after all! Capitalize on it and spread your wings!"
"I'll try and give it my best shot."
I put the envelope aside.
"By the way, is Lucard doing alright?"
I spoke the name of my other friend.
I've severed ties with Lucard, but I was hoping that Flin would still be in touch with him. However—
Flin shook her head with a sad expression.
"He's gone already."
"Gone already?"
"Lucard died five years ago."
Lucard… is dead?
"Just as he wished for, he became a Magic Knight. He had talent and a good track record—he was the pride of our generation. However, he took part in a certain mission—and he never came back."
I couldn't imagine it in the slightest. That same Lucard, with his huge, sturdy physique… To me, Lucard was an existence that lived in a separate plane from death.
That same Lucard…
He was only 21 years old.
"I can't believe it…"
"Yeah. No one knows what life has in store for them. Who would've known that a disaster like that would befall Lucard…"
Flin breathed a long sigh.
"You should be careful too, Albert. I'm worried about what we just talked about."
"You're right. I'll be careful."
There laid a sanctuary, the insides dimly lit.
A large, black flame burned violently on top of an altar.
A single man stood in front of the flame.
Standing in front of the flame, he single-mindedly chanted an incantation. With every word that escaped his lips, the jet-black flame grew stronger.
It was as if the flame was consuming the incantation itself—
After finishing his incantation, the man took a step backward.
He clad himself in a black robe adorned with silver and gold threads. His face—
was indistinguishable.
The upper part of his face was concealed by a mask.
Thud—The sound of footsteps echoed throughout the sanctuary, and a presence materialized behind him.
"My, you've been making quite the effort, day after day."
It was a small-statured elderly man. He wore a snug hood as if to cloak the absolute entirety of his head.
"The time is nearly ripe—We of Darkness will no longer lurk in obscurity. There's no time for fun and games."
"Those are welcome words."
The elderly man bowed his head with a snap.
"Lord Lucard—have you resolved yourself to bathe the kingdom that once raised you in darkness once more?"
"Do not call me by that name—I've cast it aside. I've already resolved myself since five years ago."
"My oh my. I've done you a discourtesy by testing your powerful resoluteness. Do forgive me, oh Son of Darkness."
Then, the elderly man continued.
"May the Age of Darkness befall anew."
After responding like so, Lucard turned around and walked to the interior of the building.
For some reason, the figures of Lucard's two friends from his school days suddenly floated to the back of his mind. They were engulfed by the smoldering flames of darkness.
It was a sorrowful spectacle, but—
Lucard felt nothing.
Today's first chapter. Next chapter coming later today.

Dressage Dreams & a Goalkeeper'™s Regime
Follow Richard's pupil Nicolle Begovic on her journey through dressage and football. Working to rise up the dressage ranks as she aims to be the first Bosnian dressage rider at the Olympics, she is also actively involved in her husband Asmir's career as a professional goalkeeper for Stoke City & Bosnia and Herzegovina.
First edition below!
Dressage Dreams and a Goalkeeper's Regime
By: Nicolle Begovic
As I sit at the hairdressers now writing my very first article whilst having my hair extensions put in, I can't help but to laugh at the irony of this situation. Here I am, hoping to write a column over the next season to try and break the cliché of the modern WAG and who we really are, and so far this sort of start may not be helping that but here goes anyway…………
A new term at Stoke City
And so it begins, the start of another new and exciting year for Stoke, freshly seasoned with the anticipation of a new manager, new faces and new style of play at the club and of course, my very first column! So let me kick off by welcoming you to my new home game feature, which I hope you all will enjoy reading this season.
This exciting opportunity allows my husband Asmir and I to share with you a little extra insight into the mechanics that enables our personal life, my Olympic dreams to compete in dressage and his football career to intertwine and coincide. Here is a backstage pass as to what really goes on behind the scenes of a footballer's life and you may be surprised and disappointed to learn, for example, that Asmir does many 'normal' day-to-day chores. You will often see him frequenting a local supermarket, shop or walking our dog when he isn't busy travelling or training.
So a little bit about me……….
You'll have to patient with me, as this is uncommon territory. Over the last 7 years I have been with Asmir, it has become second nature to roll his biography off the tip of my tongue without hesitation with well-rehearsed facts about him and his career. But me? I have never really had to answer that question so publicly as Asmir is so familiar with.
I was born and raised in the United States splitting my time between the rolling Appalachian Mountains in Tennessee and the hot and happening beaches of Miami and West Palm Beach, Florida. Western riding and Rodeo's were prolific in my Tennessee hometown of Mountain City and that was the start of a life long love affair with horses. Relocating to the UK when I was 10 wasn't the easiest of transitions for a child so it was the horses that I turned to for assurance and familiarity, and that's when I was introduced to Dressage and was instantly hooked.
Click Read More for the rest of the article
It was in my second year at University studying to be an accountant that I met Asmir who was then just trying to break into the first team at Portsmouth from the reserve ranks. What got us talking that fateful night was that it was interesting to hear someone else with a North American accent in Portsmouth-and since then I don't think we've stopped talking yet!
The 'Dancing Horses'
The London 2012 Olympics produced 'our greatest team' many will say and what a year it was. It is London 2012 and our double gold in Dressage for Team GB in the individual and team event that I have to thank for catapulting my much adored and loved sport of dressage into publicity on a global scale. Where many had never heard of Dressage before, here it was suddenly being recognised everywhere as the sport of the 'Dancing Horses'. It is often a miss-understood sport with little knowledge as to what it entails such as how anyone could possibly make the horse 'dance' and do movements such as the piaffe, passage and pirouette. I could go into some detail of that now but there probably wouldn't be any print space left in this programme. Perhaps I will try another time?
So why am I talking about the 'Dancing Horses' or dressage? Well over the course of my column, I am looking forward to sharing how Asmir and I are working together to become top athletes in our respective sports. Sharing day-to-day events and training updates and letting you know what we are up to. Dressage is a way of life for me everyday. I eat, sleep, drink, and obsess over my sport in the same way Asmir does with goalkeeping and football. That has certainly been a true blessing for me that Asmir can fully understand the commitment I must make to get to the ultimate goal in my sport, as I do for his. I am in training at the moment with the hope of going to the Rio 2016 Olympics (horsepower allowing) to be the first individual to represent Bosnia and Herzegovina in Dressage. It's become my full-time career but I couldn't think of a better job for me!
So are footballers and horses related as sportsmen? Well really it all boils down to one massive comparison-here goes- competition horses are like footballers and footballers like competition horses. Incredible athletes in their own right born and developed to be the best in their respective sports. Attributes not exclusively learned but inherited and instinctive as though it were their destiny.
Like footballers, competition horses require the upmost care from daily dietary management, training, physical maintenance and support. Just the same as footballers require an indeterminable amount of care and support from so many vast areas of sports management. What sets the top dressage horse apart from the sports-horse crowd is that it is an elite equine athlete comparable to the strength and flexibility of an Olympic gymnast along with traits such power, prowess, refinement and intelligence.
On that note, I am signing off from my first column and I am looking forward to the first game after a much-anticipated start to the season. After a lovely summer break with the family we are all raring to go. It is getting to see Asmir and team play together every week that validates the separation from their families, daily sacrifices and the time they commit to their careers. Here's to a great 2013/2014 season for Stoke City and I look forward to sharing the journey with you at each home game this year.

Dodson & Horrell Article: Sponsored Rider Richard Davison Shares His Top Tips…
We recently caught up with one of our sponsored riders, Dressage star Richard Davison to hear about his top tips for success. Whether you're simply schooling at home, or out regularly competing, his advice should be useful to most riders…
1. When warming up at competitions do not get too fixated on the movements in the test but instead allow enough time for suppling your horses muscles and getting your horse to respond to your leg and rein aids. Many people do too many repetitions of the actual test movements whilst warming up and this can lead either to the horse losing confidence in that particular exercise or simply that all the good stuff is left behind in the warm-up arena instead of the competition arena where it matters.
2. At home practice riding different sized corners. A corner is a quarter of a circle. In a highly collected gait that should be a quarter of a 6m circle which means leaving the short side 3m before the corner and arriving at the long side 3m after the corner. At the other end of the training spectrum, with a novice horse in working gaits it should be a quarter of a 10m circle – so that 5ms from the corner. The point corners are a strategic exercise which need planning and practising.
3. When you come out of the competition arena its tempting to have the post test discussion immediately. But instead spend a few minutes cooling down your horse. Its really important to avoid stiff tight muscles which result from a neglected cool down. Normally we trot slowly for a few minutes in a stretched frame and then walk for another 5 minutes or so. Its difficult to be precise as it depends on many factors such as the length and demands of the test, fitness and temperature of the horse etc but don't underestimate the importance of this phase. You can chat over your test later in the coffee bar!!

You can see what got me so excited this past week.
It all started out here at Pull and Pay!
I must say, it was a first for me.
Not sure I'm all that thrilled, over scrounging thru old yucky wrecked cars.
My fear was finding rats or snakes crawling out of them.
My youngest who had never been any place like this either, was more worried about finding dead bodies in the cars!
When you go in and ask where you can find hubcaps, the guy asks for what model car. I said, all different ones and he looked at me like I was an idiot! Once I explained what I was doing, he just rolled his eyes at me!
I'm sure he thought...here's another stupid woman.
It was an experience. I was filthy from head to toe when it was done, but I had managed to find all the hubcaps I needed for $2.99 a piece.
We pressure washed and spray painted them.
I used a couple of different Rust-Oleum paints, and both seemed to work well.
Next I set out to make flowers in the centers of each of the hubcaps.
I'm no artist, but even I managed to get something that didn't look too bad. :-) I roughly painted a flower. (Rough being the key word) LOL!
Then found that by adding dots, I could cover up a world of sins, in my painting. Adding a dot where each petal meets, then filling in between.
Use the handle end of a small round paintbrush from the craft stores.
They make perfect dots! You will want to dip it into the paint for every couple of dots to get nice results.
The variety of different hubcaps makes for a great garden!
I'm really partial to this style of hubcap.
I've got no idea what it came off of, but it sure is cool looking!
It makes me happy, seeing whole bloomin' bunch!
I started out using an Acrylic paint, but they were too flat looking and I wasn't really sure how they would hold up in the weather.
Then I found these paints at Wal-Mart.
I'm hoping that they hold up out doors.
I've bought re-bar for the stems and hubby is going to cut out a bunch of metal leaves as soon as I make a pattern for them.
Where is all this going you ask???
The toilet planters are in full bloom and soon the sides of this little building will be blooming too!
I've done a little recycling along the way.
This is my sister -in-laws bike from when she was a kid.
Heck, it's almost an antique now!
The past couple of days, I've been working on a couple of little fences for the sides of the out house.
I'm hoping that in a week or so, I'll have this project done!
but I've got to share what's happening in my "hood"
I kept hearing all this racket!
And found that in both of my pine trees, we had new families move in!
The guys on the bottom's eyes are not even open here.
I'm sorry that I'm a little out there.
I'm sorry that my mind works in strange ways.
I'm sorry that Island Batik fabric is perfect for this and every other project I've ever done!
Oh, who the heck am I kidding?
You all know, just how wacky I am some days!
Must have been one of those days...when Island Batik announced this months challenge and the fact that there were no rules.
Plenty of curves here, am I right?
Not including that curve ball I just threw you!
This fun pattern is "We're On a Bigger Roll" from Java House Quilts.
What else would you expect from someone who's yard looks like this?
My mind is a dangerous place some days!

Obviously the best choice is the third category of chairs, we. e. a seat lift up chair having the capability to get adjusted in an infinite quantity of positions. This is the optimum resolution for a variety of medical illnesses. A lot of these chairs allow the person seated in the chair to lift their feet above the heart's height. People can fine-tune the positions regarding to their specific requirements. For getting more stability these bar stools are ideal and cater to the aged people, people having weak legs/back circumstance facing problems in finding their very own proper balance. On comfort level aspect also they are at pendant with the regular chairs that are present in a living room. In addition they provide the facilities of a seat lift chair helping in relieving pain due to numerous injuries. For pregnant women or those just after delivery, this chair is immensely helpful. For people undergoing physical therapy this chair is of great aid. The capacity of handling weight for each the first is different and one must know the exact details before purchasing one. Even the variety of chair has a maximum capacity within just which the weight has to continue to be. Other features such as the fire resistant and automatic reset can be extremely crucial in times of fire or power accidents.
