C-Forward employees are being asked about the new iPad. Apple isn't calling it iPad3, but we are. You have to differentiate somehow, right? Why they are insisting on just calling it iPad, with no way to distinguish it from other iPad versions, is a mystery to us. It is too confusing! Anyway, we don't think the latest iPad is a game changer. However, we do agree that it is an improvement on screen, camera, Internet speed, and processor. Basically, it operates faster and looks better.
The Screen is capable of doing better HD than I would wager most of you can do on your HDTV's at home! For gamers, this is an exciting development, as the new iPad has better video capabilities than the Xbox and Playstation3, with "3.1 million pixels on the screen, and a total resolution of 2048 by 1536 pixels. Color saturation on the device was increased 44% relative to the iPad 2". They call it a "retina display", and we agree that is accurate. For most business people though, we don't think this is that big a deal. It falls under the "that's nice" category. Most business professionals who use the iPad for web browsing and business applications won't view this as a compelling reason to upgrade. Click here to see Apple Keynote.
In our opinion, the same holds true for the camera. It can handle more detailed pictures and videos. However, in our opinion, most business professionals will continue to use their phones or cameras as the primary method for taking photos. The exception may be those that do photo or video editing. The new iPhoto software is very nice. But if you aren't taking pictures with it, we think most people won't use the iPhoto software. Who carries an iPad with them as the primary way of taking pictures? Not many people we know. So, even though the iPad has a better camera, most business professionals won't use it. The exception is for those that use Facetime a lot. The video, with a good Internet connection, should look a lot better.
Better Internet – Now You're Talking!
The biggest improvement for the business professional is the availability of wireless 4G on the iPad. For those road warriors who use wireless a lot, this is a big development. In our opinion, it is the only real compelling reason for an organization to pursue an upgrade to the current version. If slow Internet speed is an issue for you, and you love the iPad, this could be a good reason for you to upgrade. Remember though, the high speeds of the 4G connection allow users to exceed their monthly bandwidth allotments in less than a day – one HD movie or a few larger downloads at better-than-cable-modem speeds can wipe out a 5GB limit in short order.
In our opinion, the new Apple iPad is an improvement, and a terrific product, but not a revolutionary development. For most business professionals, we do not recommend getting rid of your old iPad just yet … unless you are someone who desperately wants the faster 4G speeds. Regardless, if you do decide to get the new iPad, call it the iPad3 so we know what you are talking about!


Little One was the cutest little gray striped cat that you ever saw. She had a mind of her own. She had this quality of steadfast determination. In other words, she got her way! Little One was my cat from 1977 till 1989. She was a good cat. She was all so very loyal. She was an incredible hunter. She was an indoor cat, who we would let outside during the day. Little One loved the snow. I mean to say, she really loved the snow!
Little One just loved playing out in the snow. It was her favorite time of year.
You just could not turn Little One down, when she looked at you with those sad eyes. So, I would open the kitchen door and Little One would hop off of the little cabinet and head out to the enclosed porch. Then I would open the side door to the great snow-covered outdoors. Little One would run from the kitchen door to the side door and run outside and climb down the side steps. Then she would turn around and look at me for a moment, as if to say thank you. Then she would jump and play in the snow. She was such a funny cat! I loved her very much.
I regret that I didn't take more pictures of Little One playing in the snow. I would make a little snowball and throw it in the air. Little One would try to catch it. I would pack the snow lightly, so that it would not be too solid when she would jump up and try to catch the snowball. She was such an athletic little cat.
Back then you only got 24 pictures on a roll of a film. Then you had to go to the drug store or the grocery store and put them in an envelope and wait for a couple of days for the film to get developed. It was kind of a costly process. So, I tended to be conservative with taking pictures with my camera. Oh, to turn back the calendar for even just one hour. To once again see Little One play in the snow just one more time. Oh, if it were only possible.
Please do cherish the simple moments in time. Enjoy them immensely. Especially if you're young. Because one day you wake up and you're old and gray and in a gated community in Central Florida, longing to be young again. Longing to see your dear, sweet pet kitten jump and play in the snow, just one more time.

What type of storage unit do I need?
You already know how much stuff you need to put in self storage, so figuring out the unit size you need is the next step. Smaller units such as 5'x5' or 5'x10' spaces can usually be filled with the amount of items you would normally store in a closet: a few chairs and lamps, sports equipment, garden tools and some boxes.
Moving on to larger sizes, imagine the 10'x10' and 10'x15' units as similar to a bedroom or a living room – larger pieces of furniture, sturdier equipment and bicycles can fit here. Finally, a 10'x20' unit has enough space for the contents of a 3-bedroom house, while the larger 10'x30' space easily accommodates the contents of a loaded semi-truck.
Why is drive-up access important?
Accessibility and quickness are key when it comes to storage, so drive-up storage units are generally regarded as very convenient. Pull your car right up to your storage space, load, unload, and you're good to go! However, if you're mostly storing temperature-sensitive items, you should rather consider indoor storage units.
Why should I consider renting a climate-controlled unit?
Climate-controlled units maintain consistent temperatures and humidity levels all year round, making them perfect for all your sensitive items. Moisture and varying temperatures can damage a whole host of things, and that is why a lot of people choose to use climate-controlled units to store items like wooden furniture, electronics, artwork, documents and photographs, collectibles, antiques, etc. If the belongings you're storing are important to you, you should consider renting a climate-controlled unit.

Thomas Jefferson: Defender of Religious Freedom?
By Nathan Tiemeyer
"The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life released a study this September showing that this potential for penalty and discrimination [against religious freedom] is becoming a reality. Pew documented evidence of increased social hostility and government restrictions against religion in America. When compared with the rest of the world, the United States rose from the 'low' to the 'moderate' category on Pew's Government Restrictions Index. And because the study only tracks changes through the middle of 2010, federal attacks on conscience protections for healthcare workers in 2011 and the US Department of Health and Human Services contraception mandate in 2012 were not even factored into the study's results."
The above paragraph comes from an article published last month by Brian Walsh, T. J. Whittle, and Garrett Bauman over at The Public Discourse, a site that is consistently helpful on matters of faith in public life. As the authors mention, those wishing to curtail religious freedom often find their champion in one Thomas Jefferson, the esteemed founding father who famously coined the phrase "wall of separation between Church & State." According to Walsh, et al., a closer look at Jefferson's writings reveals that he could indeed be considered a partisan in the debate surrounding religious freedom. But contemporary readers might be surprised to find out which side he supported. They note:
Despite the caricature of Jefferson's views on religious freedom…[he] was not a simplistic anti-religious zealot who desired to extinguish all expression of religion from American public life. His "Letter to the Danbury Baptists," in which he famously used the phrase "wall of separation between Church & State," has been incorrectly and incoherently treated as his principal and all-encompassing contribution to religious freedom.
Instead of continuing with this misconception,
It is imperative to distinguish the long-simmering contention and disagreement over Jefferson's beliefs on religion from his clear public support for religious liberty. When it came to religious freedom and rights of conscience, Jefferson was both a strong critic of official government establishments of religion and a staunch proponent of the free exercise of religion.
As the authors detail, though he was openly critical of many religious beliefs held by his fellow citizens, Jefferson was a driving influence for the inclusion of religious freedom in the Constitution, urging his protégé James Madison to recognize it in an additional bill of rights. And consistent with his most famous work, The Declaration of Independence, Jefferson believed this right originated not from humankind, but from our Creator. Since the federal government did not bestow such freedom, its role was to recognize and protect it. It could never take it away.
Walsh et al. go on to make the vital point in their article that religious freedom isn't to be confined to private belief ("believers languishing for their faith in prisons across the globe have the mere freedom to believe"). Rather it includes its expression in public life, as indicated by the phrase "free exercise" in the First Amendment, a point on which Jefferson would again surely agree.
Finally, the authors argue that even religious skeptics would do well in following Jefferson's support for religious freedom:
Why would a sophisticated thinker like Jefferson, with elaborate reasons buttressing his harsh critique of the Christian beliefs of his contemporaries, promote a position on religious freedom that orthodox believers of many faiths argue for today? Jefferson understood the power that the truth has to prevail in a free and open marketplace of ideas. He of course considered his own understanding of religion to be true, and thought that—if he was indeed correct—his views would eventually win out. …Instead of opposing religious liberty, those who share Jefferson's skepticism toward traditional religion thus have good reason to join him in advocating robust rights of free exercise.
I would only add that Christians, understanding all truth to find its source ultimately in Christ (John 14:6), should have no qualms about encouraging its pursuit in a free and robust exchange of ideas.

Arsenal's World Cup forward target available for €15m
Date: 2nd August 2018 at 5:00am
Written by: Gunner Sphere
Arsenal remain in the hunt for further additions under Unai Emery and a new forward could be on the cards.
The Gunners may approve departures for Danny Welbeck and Lucas Perez in the final few weeks of the transfer window, with Emery believed to be eyeing a direct and pacy wide player to add to his squad.
TuttoMercatoWeb are the latest outlet to report Arsenal's interest in Torino ace M'Baye Niang, as they state the Senegal international is available for a fee of €15m.
23-year-old Niang sealed a permanent move across Serie A from AC Milan earlier this year and impressed for his nation at the World Cup in Russia, where he scored one and provided an assist in Senegal's three group matches.
His performances have attracted the attention of OGC Nice and Sevilla, who could rival Arsenal in the market for his services, although the latter are keen on a loan move – whereas Torino would prefer to sell.


Georgian Bluffs wants to gauge interest is flights from Wiarton to Toronto.
A survey will see if there is interest to have a scheduled passenger service between the Wiarton Keppel International Airport and Toronto.
Acting CAO and Director of Operations for Georgian Bluffs , Rick Winters, says it is an opportunity for the area to really connect to the rest of the world via Toronto.
Winters says he is constantly getting phone calls asking about a service to Toronto.
He says more people are working from home these days, and they have the internet capacity , but don't have the actually capability of getting to bigger cities.
It will also benefit those living in the GTA that have a cottage here, or are just coming up for the weekend.
Officials add, the flight would be around 30 minutes.
Right now, the Wiarton Keppel International Airport does not have a scheduled passenger service, only chartered planes.
He says it will help the area both economically and socially.
In order to convince private air carriers they should establish here, the muncipality needs to do a market survey and go to them with the data.
Winters says it is a 10 question survey that is open to everyone in the month of February.
The survey can be found on the Georgian Bluffs and Grey County website or at their offices.
Georgian College marketing students will also be at various events in the community with surveys.
In March, if the results are good they hope to start reaching out to carriers.
Winters says, in the past year the carries have said "If you can come to us with positive results, we will entertain setting up a service".
No other airport in Grey Bruce has scheduled passenger service to Toronto.

When it comes to things like buying a home, Americans might be startled at how quickly prices have rebounded in many places following the economic recession.
Prices haven't increased uniformly; some areas still have relatively affordable home prices, while others have homes with prices that seem to rise exponentially each year. Florida homes are among the nation's least expensive.
American consumers might have reason to believe that the recovering economy is keeping costs down. After all, gas prices have recently hit lows we haven't seen in years. A strong dollar has made purchases more affordable. And national unemployment dipped to 5.1 percent earlier this year.
Florida stood as the 30th-most-expensive state to buy a home. District of Columbia had the most expensive median home prices in July 2015, with a median sale price of $505,000, a decrease of 1.94 percent from the same period 12 months ago. Hawaii followed second with a median sale price of $455,000, jumping 7.06 percent since last year.
Furthermore, out of all the counties in Florida, Monroe County had the most expensive median home prices in July 2015, with a median sale price of $375,500, an increase of 13.69 percent from the same period 12 months ago.
Walton County followed second, with a median sale price of $300,000, jumping 17.94 percent since last year.
The median sales price in Miami-Dade County was $239,900.

Campaigners storm Van Gogh's "Sunflowers" room in National Gallery protest
Posted on June 1, 2015 by BP or not BP?
Performers "rebrand" the famous painting and impersonate oil executives, in protest against the Gallery's Shell sponsorship, privatisation plans, and the sacking of PCS Union rep Candy Udwin
At 1pm today, around 30 campaigners occupied the room containing Van Gogh's "Sunflowers" in the National Gallery. The protesters – who had travelled from the Reclaim the Power action camp – staged a surprise performance criticising the Gallery's proposed privatisation plans, and its controversial funding relationship with the oil company Shell.

The performance began with a two-person "Shell PR team" giving a speech to surprised gallery visitors, explaining how happy they were to be using arts sponsorship to distract attention from Shell's destructive extraction activities and contribution to climate change. The fake Shell reps explained how "with this sponsorship the public will associate us more with art than Arctic drilling". They also praised the Gallery's plans to outsource up to two-thirds of its staff, calling it "a real commitment to privatisation; we fully support this attack on workers' rights". The full script can be seen below.
At this point, around thirty more protesters revealed themselves, loudly condemned the "Shell" professionals, and launched into a series of noisy chants and songs calling on the Gallery to end their relationship with Shell and halt the privatisation. They unfurled banners reading "Art for People not Profit" and "Kick Out Shell, Bring Back Candy". This second banner refers to sacked PCS union rep Candy Udwin, who was unfairly dismissed from her job at the Gallery after raising concerns about the cost of the privatisation plans. PCS union members at the National Gallery are currently on strike over the outsourcing proposal, and are calling for Candy's reinstatement.The group then processed through the gallery, chanting "No oil sponsorship! No privatisation! Reinstate Candy!" and singing "We want Candy – reinstated!" to the tune of the classic Bow Wow Wow song. Several security guards believed that the Shell staff were genuine and attempted to shield them from the protesters.

The protesters were eventually removed by private security guards, as many of the Gallery's own security staff are participating in the strike. Outside the gallery, the fake Shell employees unveiled a "new improved" version of Van Gogh's sunflower painting, with several of the flowers replaced by oily Shell logos.

Susan Milligan, who took part in today's performance, said: "Privatisation and dirty oil sponsorship are intimately related. They're both part of the creeping corporate takeover of our public institutions. The National Gallery is providing cheap PR to one of the world's most destructive companies, threatening staff jobs with a disastrous privatisation scheme, and sacking members of staff for questioning its decisions. By doing so, the gallery is putting the desires of polluters and profiteers ahead of the needs of its staff, the public, and the artworks in its keeping."
Today's performance was organised by activists from the "Reclaim the Power" action camp taking place near Didcot power station this week, supported by members of theatrical protest group BP or not BP?. It was one of (so far) eighteen direct actions against dirty energy that have been carried out by Reclaim the Power activists today.
Meanwhile, the National Gallery is not the only institution under fire for its relationship with Shell. Documents obtained by BP or not BP – and given to the Guardian – have revealed that Shell has been attempting to influence the content of the climate change exhibition at the Science Museum, which the oil company also sponsors.

The script from today's performance:
Hello, thank you for joining us today at the National Gallery, where we will be talking about how our sponsorship of the gallery helps us cover up our environmental and social misdeeds.
Yes, smearing our logo over this institution has allowed us to destroy numerous communities and the environment without fear of repercussions, particularly in the Niger Delta.
And as we turn to more expensive and damaging sources of fossil fuels, our stakeholders can rest assured that with this sponsorship the public will associate us more with art than Arctic drilling.
We're all about locking the UK introit a future of fossil fuel dependency. By lobbying against investment in cheaper renewables and energy efficiency methods, we help maintain fuel poverty and keep those winter fuel subsidies rolling in.
Here at Shell we are all about putting profit before people and so we are absolutely thrilled to hear that the National Gallery has suspended their union rep Candy Udwin…wait, sorry…the National Gallery has sacked their union rep Candy Udwin. We feel this shows a real commitment to privatisation and we fully support this attack on workers' rights.
Profitability, privatisation and corporate sponsorship: we're delighted to see that the National Gallery has prioritised the needs of corporations like us rather than the public, the environment, its workers and the artworks in its keeping.

The Superga air disaster occurred on 4 May 1949, when a Fiat G.212 of Avio Linee Italiane (Italian Airlines), carrying the entire Torino football team (popularly known as the Grande Torino), crashed into the retaining wall at the back of the Basilica of Superga, which stands on a hill on the outskirts of Turin. All thirty-one people on the flight died.

Background
The Avio Linee Italiane Fiat G.212CP was carrying the team home from Lisbon, where they had played a friendly match with S.L. Benfica in honour of the Portuguese captain, Francisco Ferreira. In the incident, the whole active Torino team (almost all of the Italy national football team) lost their lives. Club officials including the manager, Ernő Egri Erbstein, a Hungarian refugee, and the coach, Englishman Leslie Lievesley, also perished in the accident, as well as the crew and three well-known Italian sports journalists: Renato Casalbore (founder of Tuttosport); Renato Tosatti (the Gazzetta del Popolo, father of Giorgio Tosatti), and Luigi Cavallero (La Stampa). The task of identifying the bodies was entrusted to the former manager of the Italy national team, Vittorio Pozzo, who had called up most of Torino's players to the Azzurri.

The full-back Sauro Tomà did not take part in the trip due to an injured meniscus, nor did the reserve goalkeeper, Renato Gandolfi (the third goalkeeper, Dino Ballarin, took his place). Radio commentator Nicolò Carosio, Luigi Giuliano (captain of the Torino youth team), and former manager of the Italy national team Vittorio Pozzo, were excluded for various reasons. Torino's president, Ferruccio Novo, did not go on the trip because of influenza.

Crash

The three-engined Fiat G.212, with aircraft registration I-ELCE, of Avio Linee Italiane, took off from Lisbon at 09:40 a.m. on Wednesday, 4 May 1949. The commander of the aircraft was Lieutenant Colonel Meroni. The flight landed at the airport in Barcelona at 13:00. While the aircraft was refuelled during the stopover, Torino met for lunch with Milan, who were on their way to Madrid.

At 14:50, I-ELCE set off for the Turin-Aeritalia Airport. The flight's route was to take it over Cap de Creus, Toulon, Nice, Albenga, and Savona. Above Savona, the plane turned north, in the direction of the capital of Piedmont, where it was expected to arrive in 30 minutes. The weather in Turin was poor; at 16:55, the airport of Aeritalia communicated the weather situation to the pilot: clouds almost touching the ground, showers, strong southwest wind gusts, and very poor horizontal visibility ().

At this point, the tower asked for the pilot's position. After a few minutes of silence (at 16:59) came the reply: "Quota . QDM on Pino, then we will cut at Superga". At Pino Torinese, which is located between Chieri and Baldissero Torinese, southeast of Turin, there was a VDF radio station (VHF direction finder), to provide a QDM (magnetic course to be taken on a head on approach as a radio aid) on request.

On approach, the plane lined up with the runway at Aeritalia about  away to the west, at  above sea level, with Pino at 290° off its nose. Just north of Pino Torinese was the Basilica of Superga, situated on a hill at  above sea level. One theory for the deviation is that due to the strong left crosswinds, the plane could have suffered a drift to starboard, which shifted from the axis of descent and lined up with the hill of Superga. Recent investigations also suggested the possibility that the altimeter had malfunctioned and locked at , which led the pilots to believe that they were at a higher altitude.

At 17:03, the plane made a turn to the left, returned to level flight, and had aligned to prepare for landing when it crashed into the back of the embankment of the Basilica of Superga. The pilot, who likely believed that the Superga hill was off to his right, would have seen it suddenly emerge directly in front of him (speed , visibility ) and been unable to react. The wreckage did not give any indication of an attempt to go around. The only part of the aircraft which remained partially intact was the empennage.

At 17:05, Aeritalia Torre called I-ELCE, but received no response. Of the 31 people on board, none survived.

Aftermath
At the request of rival teams, Torino were proclaimed winners of the 1948–49 Serie A season on 6 May 1949, and the opponents, as well as Torino, fielded their youth teams in the four remaining games. On the day of the funeral, half a million people took to the streets of Turin to give a final farewell to the players. The following season, the other top Italian teams were asked to donate a player to Torino. The shock of the crash was such that the following year, the Italy national team travelled to the 1950 FIFA World Cup in Brazil by ship.

The crash is commemorated annually. Remains of the aircraft, including a propeller, a tire, scattered pieces of the fuselage, and the personal bags of Mazzola, Maroso, and Erbstein, are preserved in a museum in Grugliasco near Turin. The Museo del Grande Torino e della Leggenda Granata, located in the prestigious Villa Claretta Assandri of Grugliasco, was opened on 4 May 2008, the anniversary of the tragedy. Eight of the 18 players (as well as two coaches and the journalist Renato Casalbore) are buried at the Cimitero Monumentale of Turin.

CLSC Young Readers to explore books on dissent and expression during Week Five
by Flora Junhua Deng	on July 24, 2018 922 views
As Chautauqua explores Week Five's theme, "The Ethics of Dissent," those in the CLSC Young Readers Program will be exploring the same theme by reading I Dissent: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Makes Her Mark by Debbie Levy, a picture biography of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, a young adult fiction recommended for ages 14 and up, about a black teenage girl's life.
At 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 25, in the Poetry Makerspace, there will be an activity for Young Readers to explore the relationship among poetry, protest and dissent.
According to Karen Schiavone, manager of Special Studies and youth programs, many different forms of dissent can be seen in present day, such as protests and those making public statements. Ginsburg, as a previous lawyer, judge, and now a U.S. Supreme Court justice, dissents by doing her job in the court.
"Ginsburg has been disagreeing her entire life," Levy said.
Ginsburg indeed has been "disagreeing" and making changes in her entire life, but she does it in a civil manner by "disagreeing without being disagreeable," according to both Levy and Schiavone.
And Ginsburg's civil manner is especially illustrated in her close friendship with the late Justice Antonin Scalia, who died in 2016.
Levy wrote about "the most unlikely friendship" in her book.
"(Scalia) didn't agree with the ideas that were (Ginsburg's) life's work as a lawyer before she became a justice — that is, her ideas about gender discrimination violating the United States Constitution," Levy said. "That's a really important and big disagreement, and yet, in their legal policy disagreement, they were civil."
Ginsburg and Scalia even shared drafts of each other's case arguments.
"'Knowing just how much he disagrees with some of my ideas makes me express them better,' she has said," Levy said of Ginsburg. "They would get better and better by bouncing off of Scalia's critique. Aside from that, they are disagreeing very deeply on legal matters, but personally, they were really close friends, and did things together. The families had celebrated the new year together. They went to the opera together. They laughed a lot together."
Levy sees Ginsburg as a great role model for kids. Ginsburg is widely known as the "notorious RBG," but Levy said she thinks of her "rather as glorious RBG, not notorious."
"You don't have to just say yes and go along," Levy said. "Disagreeing is a perfectly good way to be, and also that change comes by disagreeing. … Change has to come by identifying something that you disagree with, and then working to make a difference."
Schiavone said it's important for kids to learn they can stand up for what they believe in. She said multiple forms of dissent can be seen in the two CLSC Young Readers books.
"But we do tend to see that certain forms of dissent are frowned upon, by certain groups of people, just in the forms that they take," Schiavone said.
Certain groups of people are mistreated in society based on their skin color, like Khalil in The Hate U Give. In the book, the character is pulled over and shot by a white police officer. Although equality in society has been fought for by many people, including Ginsburg, it has not been achieved yet.
Both books feature characters that experience mistreatment based on their skin color, gender or religion. Sometimes even when these people protest to be treated fairly, they are still being judged by society, according to Schiavone.
"I do think that this is where ('The Ethics of Dissent') comes back so well," Schiavone said. "That's what we are going to talk about on the platform — all of these types of dissent, and how does society look at them? I think that society certainly judges certain groups more than others when it comes to protest."
When Ginsburg was in elementary school, she protested when her teacher told her that left-handers should write with their right hands. Levy said Ginsburg also "has experienced prejudice and knows first-hand discrimination" as a Jewish woman who faced disapproval when going to law school and pursuing law.
"You see it in the book when she's a little girl and she's in the car, seeing those signs when they are on the ride in the country," Levy said.
Some of those signs included "No dogs or Jews allowed"; "Whites Only"; "No Colored"; and "No Mexicans."
"(In) her discussion during her confirmation hearings to be a Supreme Court justice in the early '90s … she told the senators about this experience that she had as a girl, 'has stayed with me my whole life,' " Levy said.
Levy hopes to convey "empathy for people who are treated as the other, on a fairly simple level" to her readers. On a different level, Levy hopes to bring "understanding and caring about people (like Ginsburg) who are trying to achieve what some might call the American dream — what I would just call equal treatment and full citizenship."
Levy said although she used to be a practicing lawyer, it was challenging for her to write about law, cases and justices in an accessible way for children, that at the same time did not bog down Ginsburg's life and her contributions to justice in society.
"What's interesting about (Supreme Court justices) can seem hard to explain or talk about for little kids, and even for not-so-little kids," Levy said.
But Levy has worked it out by using simpler words like "fairness" and "unfairness."
"In this book, I'm not very specific," Levy said. "One could be much more specific about what one court case is all about. In this book, I tend to use references to fairness and unfairness."
Nevertheless, Levy is striving to be more specific in her second book about Ginsburg, which will be for ages 11 and up.
"In that book for older readers, I'm able to get into greater detail of what does a lawyer do, what did she do as a lawyer, what is the law of gender discrimination, what's the 14th Amendment, what does it have to do with anything?" Levy said.
"All those questions I just posed is too much for a picture book. … And hey, maybe some readers who read I Dissent will be old enough to read (the new book)."
For teenage readers, whom The Hate U Give is geared toward, the protagonist Starr Carter's struggle between her two worlds is relatable. Schiavone said "Starr has such a harder role to play in her two worlds," between her school in a rich neighborhood and her home neighborhood, where poverty and drug sales are common.
"She talks about acting like the white kids at school, but then acting like she's black at home and how difficult it can be to balance these two things," Schiavone said, "especially when you are presented with the situation where she sees one of her very good friends get shot by a white cop."
But on a more universal level, Schiavone said, everyone has either been or will be a teenager.
"I think all of us have our hidden selves and our public selves, and trying to balance one with the other, facing additional pressures like self-esteem and peer pressure — it's hard to be a teenager," Schiavone said. "I think that most people can relate to those struggles of teenagers. They are the most awkward years, but somehow we get through them. And I think that most people can relate to that."

Kristoffer Ventura Earned his PGA Card the Hard Way
Before earning PGA Status, Venture ventured through minor league golf.
By Nick Martincich Jul 28, 2019, 2:51pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: Kristoffer Ventura Earned his PGA Card the Hard Way
It comes as a surprise that Viktor Hovland was not the first Norweigan from Oklahoma State to earn a PGA Tour card this year.
It was 2018 National Championship member Kristoffer Ventura, who won his second Korn Ferry Tour title at Pinnacle Bank Championship on July 21, which granted him a PGA Tour card for next season.
Two months ago, @OSUCowboyGolf alum @KrisVentura95 had yet to earn a #KornFerryTour Point this season.
Now he's a two-time winner and headed to the @PGATOUR. #LiveUnderPar pic.twitter.com/8BFzNJ190C
— Korn Ferry Tour (@kornferrytour) July 22, 2019
It's easy to get rapt in the budding superstars like OSU's own Hovland and Matthew Wolff, who are seamlessly finding success on the PGA not even two months after their last college event. But, the twenty-four year old Ventura, as well as many other Tour members, took a longer route to the top through golf's rigorous minor league tours.
"I don't know the exact stat of the average age of player on the PGA tour is, but I know it's not twenty-four years old," said Scott Turner, the director of the Minor League Golf Tour. "There aren't a lot of guys like Tiger Woods or Phil Mickelson or Jordan Spieth that come out of college and they make it. . . there's a lot of really good players that have to grind for a couple years on the smaller tours until they can get their break and really realize their potential."
Ventura showed the grit and sportsmanship that embodies the character of the Minor League Golf Tour. After he failed to earn full membership on the Korn Ferry Tour because of an appendix surgery before the finals last year, he won twice on the MLGT before the start this KFT season. He finished third in the BMW Pro-am in May on a sponsors exemption, which should grant an automatic spot in the next week's KFT tournament. But Ventura did not commit to the next event within thirty minutes of filing his scorecard, therefore he could not play; a glitch in the rules even the experienced Turner was unaware of.
Ventura poses with Turner after winning an MLGT event in February
The former Cowboy had to play on the lesser MLGT that week. "Most people would have been really angry and held it against the tour for not telling him (about the scorecard rule)," said Turner, "but he was the most professional person I've ever seen about it."
Ventura won the KFT's Utah Open the week after the minor league event. Then won again at the Pinnacle Bank, in large part because of his resilience. "I see a lot of players come through the Minor League Tour, some make it, some don't. I think attitude is really important," said Turner, and Ventura's attitude foreshadows what will likely be a successful PGA Tour career.
Get ready @KrisVentura95. You're #TOURBound. pic.twitter.com/o4CzyRhRY6
Minor leagues provide crucial player development in all major sports, though they are often unnoticed. Naturally, fans want to watch the biggest events; the best players playing for the most money in front of millions of viewers. Many don't realize the quality of the players in the minor leagues, and that many superstars begin their journey in the lower ranks.
"There's only 200 players on the PGA Tour every year and there's well over a thousand guys that are very talented guys that are vying for those spots." said Turner, who won eight events on the MLGT himself. Currently, seventy-seven players on the PGA or KFT have played in the MLGT, headlined by the world's number one ranked golfer Brooks Koepka and recent Open champion Shane Lowry.
Competition in the minor leagues is just as, if not more intense and meaningful than the massive PGA events. "These guys on the minor league tour don't have millions of dollars," said Turner. Players are often only trying to make enough to play in the next event. So whether they're playing in an $800 or $5,000 event, winning could be career changing. The extra money from winning one of the bigger events can provide the boost a player needs for qualifying school or a Monday qualifier for a PGA or KFT event. "The winner's check in these smaller events is sometimes more meaningful than a million dollar first place check on the PGA."
Oklahoma State fans are particularly spoiled by the performance of former Cowboys on Tour. Rickie Fowler is one the PGA's biggest stars, Hovland and Wolff are the next big thing, and Hunter Mahan, Charles Howell III, and Scott Verplank have had long and consistent careers. But it's important to remember other members from past elite OSU teams that may not be on the PGA, but are still successful professionals on the KFT and other minor league tours. Guys like Jordan Niebrugge, who's only twenty-five years old and could break out anytime. Brad Gehl, Morgan Hoffman, and Edward Loar are all proud OSU alumni that have spent time on the MLGT. There are certainly many more to come and they deserve your support!
The MLGT is especially deserving of support because of how they take care of their players. Half of the field in a tournament earns a check, compared to just a third in most other tours. It's important for the extra guys to earn a check, even for less money, because it allows more players to keep playing events and get closer to realizing their potential.
You could follow along with your favorite OSU golfers by following @minorleaguegolftour on Instagram and @MinorLeagueGOLF on Twitter. You can financially support any player by going to the MLGT website and donating towards their entry fees.

Q: WPF fullscreen mode I am creating an WPF application which has following XAML structure.
<Window>
   <ScrollViewer>
       <Grid>
       ...
       ...
       ...
       </Grid>
   </ScrollViewer>
</Window>

I want to run application on fullscreen on the press of 'F' button and for that i tried following code.
private void window1_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{

  if(e.Key == Key.F)
  {
       if(!isFullScreen)
       {
            height = mePlayer.Height;
            width = mePlayer.Width;
            mePlayer.Height = System.Windows.SystemParameters.PrimaryScreenHeight;
            mePlayer.Width = System.Windows.SystemParameters.PrimaryScreenWidth;
            this.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Black);
            this.WindowStyle = WindowStyle.None;
            this.WindowState = WindowState.Maximized;
            isFullScreen = !isFullScreen;
       }
       else
       {
            mePlayer.Height = height;
            mePlayer.Width = width;
            this.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.White);
            this.WindowStyle = WindowStyle.SingleBorderWindow;
            isFullScreen = !isFullScreen;
        }
   }
 }

I am Facing following two problems.

*

*When i press F key for full screen, window goes to full screen mode but task bar is still visible

*In full screen mode scroll bar becomes visible.

I don't know why this is happening. I think scroll bar becomes visible because of the taskbar. Any help would greatly appreciated.
Here is the screen shot of what is happening.

A: I'm not sure why you're doing all the extra stuff but doing this seems to be sufficient and working fine:
private void window1_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{

  if(e.Key == Key.F)
  {
       if(!isFullScreen)
       {
            this.WindowStyle = WindowStyle.None;
            this.WindowState = WindowState.Maximized;
            this.SC.VerticalScrollBarVisibility = ScrollBarVisibility.Hidden;
            this.SC.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility = ScrollBarVisibility.Hidden;
            isFullScreen = !isFullScreen;
       }
       else
       {
            this.WindowStyle = WindowStyle.SingleBorderWindow;
            this.WindowState = WindowState.Normal;
            this.SC.VerticalScrollBarVisibility = ScrollBarVisibility.Visible;
            this.SC.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility = ScrollBarVisibility.Visible;
            isFullScreen = !isFullScreen;
        }
   }
 }

SC is my ScrollViewer.

Edge of Tomorrow – trailer
Warner Bros. Pictures has released the first trailer for director Doug Liman's Edge of Tomorrow.
Warner Bros. Pictures has released the first trailer for director Doug Liman's Edge of Tomorrow. The June 6, 2014 release, based on the acclaimed novel All You Need is Kill stars Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt, Bill Paxton, Kick Gurry, Dragomir Mrsic, Charlotte Riley, Jonas Armstrong and Franz Drameh.
The epic action of Edge of Tomorrow unfolds in a near future in which an alien race has hit the Earth in an unrelenting assault, unbeatable by any military unit in the world.
Lt. Col. Bill Cage (Tom Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously dropped into what amounts to little more than a suicide mission. Killed within minutes, Cage now finds himself inexplicably thrown into a time loop—forcing him to live out the same brutal combat over and over, fighting and dying again…and again.
But with each battle, Cage becomes able to engage the adversaries with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt). And, as Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated encounter gets them one step closer to defeating the enemy.

"This college-level textbook gives students skills and knowledge that will help them incorporate GIS and remote sensing into decision making as they pursue careers in government, business, and other organizations. With that in mind, exercises are presented as scenarios. These lessons focus on employing a GIS workflow that documents the process and systematically approaches solving the problem.
Making Spatial Decisions Using GIS and Remote Sensing: A Workbook is the first workbook to highlight the image processing capabilities in ArcGIS software. Designed to complement remote-sensing textbooks in an undergraduate curriculum, this workbook teaches students image processing and analysis skills with ArcGIS 10.1 for Desktop. It assumes some prior knowledge of GIS but will teach how those capabilities are used with remotely sensed data.
The modules move from exercises that provide a better understanding of various types of imagery to ones that use imagery in GIS to measure change caused by urban development and drought. Each module contains two scripted projects and a third "On your own" project that requires students to select a problem and study area and apply the techniques learned in the previous projects.
An accompanying DVD contains the Landsat imagery, maps, and worksheets required for the projects. Students can download a trial version of ArcGIS 10.1 for Desktop Advanced software that is good for 180 days. Instructor resources are available.

Carte de la Louisiane et du Cours du Mississipi: Covens & Mortier c. 1730
Title: Carte de la Louisiane et du Cours du Mississipi
Author: Cornelis Mortier & Johannes Covens
Medium: Hand-colored copperplate engraving
Condition: Very Good Plus – light age toning and foxing, light wear along issued center fold, original outline color
Inches: 24 ¾ x 18 ½ [Image]
Centimeters: 87 x 46.99 [Image]
C. 1730 map published by Covens & Mortier modeled on Guillaume De L'Isle's foundational 1718 map of Louisiana. The map extends from eastern New Mexico in the west to New York and Montreal in the east, and shows the Gulf Coast stretching from the entrance to the Rio Grande to the west coast of Florida. An inset map in the lower right corner bearing the title Carte Particuliere des Embouchures de la Rivie. S. Louis et de la Mobile ["Special Map of the Mouths of the St. Louis and Mobile Rivers"] shows the coastline spanning from the mouth of the Mississippi to Pensacola, Florida. The map indicates the locations of major settlements, forts, and topographical features, and includes the land routes of major explorers such as de Soto, Moscoso, La Salle, de Leon, and St. Denis, along with the dates of their expeditions.
In 1719, Cornelis Mortier (1699-1783) inherited the publishing business of his father Pieter Mortier (1661-1711). In 1721, Cornelis joined with Johannes Covens the Elder (1697-1774) to form their eponymously titled Amsterdam firm, which would become one of the preeminent publishing houses of the eighteenth century. The firm reprinted and redistributed the maps of major cartographers such as Hubert Jaillot (1632-1712), Jan Jansson (1588-1664), Nicolas Sanson (1600-1667), Frederick de Wit (c. 1629-1706), and, of course, Guillaume De L'Isle (1675-1726). This map was taken from the plates of De L'Isle's groundbreaking Carte de la Louisiane (first published 1718), to which it is identical save the addition of the city of New Orleans.
De L'Isle's 1718 Carte de la Louisiane marked the first appearance of any variant of the name "Texas'' on a printed map. As in that map, here a small string of text reading Mission de los Teijas etablie en 1716 appears along the banks of the Trinity River.

Edfu is an Egyptian city, located on the west bank of the River Nile between Esna and Aswan, with a population of approximately sixty thousand people. For the ancient history of the city, see below. Edfu is the site of the Ptolemaic Temple of Horus and an ancient settlement, Tell Edfu. About 5 km (3 miles) north of Edfu are remains of ancient pyramids.
The town is known for the major Ptolemaic temple, built between 237 BCE to 57 BCE, into the reign of Cleopatra VII. Of all the temple remains in Egypt, the Temple of Horus at Edfu is the most completely preserved. Built from sandstone blocks, the huge Ptolemaic temple was constructed over the site of a smaller New Kingdom temple, oriented east to west, facing towards the river. The later structure faces north to south and leaves the ruined remains of the older temple pylon to be seen on the east side of the first court.
The remains of the ancient settlement of Edfu are situated about 50 m to the west of the Ptolemaic temple - To the left of the older temple Pylon. This settlement is known as Wetjeset-hor and the Latin name was Apollinopolis Magna. According to Notitia Dignitatum, part of Legio II Traiana Fortis was camped in Apollo superior, which was the Roman name for the town.
Although unassuming and unglamorous to the visiting tourists, Tell Edfu is a monument that contains evidence of more Egyptian history and is of more archaeological interest than the Ptolemaic temple. Although major parts of the settlement show severe signs of erosion, cut away or have been exposed during sebakh-digging, enough is preserved to gain information from as far back as the Predynastic Period. The remains of the settlement (Tell) provides an insight into the development of Edfu as a provincial town from the end of the Old Kingdom until the Byzantine period. The settlement at Edfu was the capital of the Second Upper Egypt nome, it flourished and doubled in size around 3400 BCE and played an important role within the region during the First Intermediate Period. Interestingly, it is one of few settlements in southen Egypt that flourished when the north, especially around the delta, was in economic decline.
Today, the Tell Edfu monument is preserved in some areas up to 20 m high and contains complete archaeological sequences of occupation dating to the Old Kingdom until the Graeco-Roman period. So far, only the top layers of the tell containing the Graeco-Roman settlement remains were published by a Franco-Polish mission in the late 1930s (by Kazimierz Michałowski and B. Bruyère and Bernard Mathieu). The three elaborate reports on the archaeology of Tell Edfu, were only partially published by the Franco-Polish mission. In 1954, a second Polish mission, headed by Maria Ludwika Bernhard, also explored Tell Edfu. Unfortunately, from the mid 1950s no new detailed discoveries or thorough research has been completed at the monument. The site had also been excavated by Henri Henne from the Institute for Egyptology in Lille from 1921 to 1924.
No larger remains dating earlier than the 5th Dynasty have been found at Edfu. Its most ancient cemetery comprised the mastabas of the Old Kingdom as well as later tombs, and covers the area southwest of the precinct of the great temple of Horus. Before the beginning of the New Kingdom, the necropolis was transferred to Hager Edfu, to the west, and then in the Late period to the south at Nag' el-Hassaya. The entire area was called Behedet. The god Horus was herein worshipped as Horus Behedet.
One of these mastabas belonged to Isi, a local administrator, who, it was quoted was the "great chief of the Nome of Edfu" in the Sixth Dynasty. Isi lived during the reign of King Djedkare Isesi of the Fifth Dynasty and into the reign of Pepi I of the Sixth Dynasty. He was an administrator, judge, chief of the royal archives and a "Great One among the Tens of the South." Isi later became a living god and was so worshipped during the Middle Kingdom. As the Sixth Dynasty and the Old Kingdom drew to a close, local regional governors and administrative nobles took on a larger power in their areas, away from the royal central authority.
