Monastery of Lips
The Monastery of Lips consists of two adjoined churches in the Lycus valley of Constantinople, southwest of the Church of the Holy Apostles. During the Ottoman Era, it became a mosque known as Fenari İsa Mosque. The north church, dedicated to Theotokos Panachrantos (the Immaculate Mother of God), was constructed in 907 under the auspices of Constantine Lips, while the south church, dedicated to Hagios Ioannes Prodromos (St. John the Forerunner), was built in the late thirteenth century by Empress Theodora (c. 1240-1303), wife of Michael VIII Palaiologos.
Constantine Lips was a aristocrat and military official who founded the original monastery and dedicated it to the Theotokos. It has been suggested that he restored an older church, however archaeological evidence does not support this claim. Its consecration took place in 907 with the participation of Emperor Leo VI. This church, along with the Monastery of Myrelaion, is evidence of how the spread of monasticism went hand in hand with Byzantine political and military influence in this period.
Between the years 1281 and 1303 the dowager empress Theodora, widow of Michael VIII Palaiologos, restored the complex and added a second church to the south of the existing tenth-century church. It was originally built as a mausoleum church for the Palaiologan dynasty. Besides Theodora, who died in 1303 as nun Eugenia, her mother, daughter, sons Emperor Andronikos II (d. 1332) and Prince Constantine (d. 1306) were buried there. In addition, Irene, daughter of the Duke of Brunswick, Albert IV, first wife of the Emperor Andronicus III and Anna, a Russian princess and wife of John VIII Palaeologus, were buried here. In order to provide additional burial sites for family members, a long exonarthex (or perambulatory) was added to the existing churches probably in the early 14th century. Theodora instituted a nunnery in the north church and issued a typikon for it, drawn up some time between 1294 and 1301. The typikon fixes the number of nuns to fifty. Thirty of them were supposed to perform daily prayers and services in the church, while the remaining twenty were in charge of the household duties. A twelve-bed hospital, with its own paid staff, might have been built next to the monastery for the treatment of the laywomen.
The south church was converted into a mosque by Ali Efendi of the Fenari family towards the end of the 15th century. Following a fire in the 17th century, major alterations were made during its restoration. The columns in the naves were replaced with pointed arches, and the four principal columnar supports in the northern structure were also transformed into pointed arches that span the entire interior space. Its remaining decoration was stripped from the walls, and both domes were constructed anew. A minaret was erected at the southwestern corner of the outer narthex, while it was furnished a mihrab and minbar. By the end of the seventeenth century, the north church had been turned into a tekke (a dervish lodge).
After being repeatedly damaged by fires during the Ottoman Era, it was restored in the 1960s by the Byzantine Institute of America. The building has been returned to use as a mosque, though it is currently closed for renovation.
The north church is the earliest securely dated Middle Byzantine church and the earliest example of the cross-in-square type in Constantinople. The naos measures approximately 12 x 10 meters and is divided into nine bays. To the east of the naos is a tripartite bema and to the west a three-bay narthex. A narrow exterior porch originally covered the main entrance to the narthex. The four columns that used to support vaults were replaced by pointed arches in the Ottoman Era, but three column bases have remained in their original positions. In the central bay there was a dome, which collapsed or was seriously damaged in one of the fires and was replaced during the Ottoman Era. The north and south vaulted arms of the cross-in-square core terminate in huge triple windows on the north and south façades.
The most distinctive features of the north church were its six additional chapels, all part of the original design. Two single-nave chapels flanked the prothesis and diakonikon at ground level. The north one has disappeared, but a portion of its apse foundation has been excavated. The southern chapel, located next to the diakonikon, was incorporated in the thirteenth century into the south church of Saint John to serve as its prothesis and thus was partially preserved. Both chapels were slightly larger than the rooms to which they were attached. On the roof of the north church are four chapels, which are not visible from the interior. The two quatrefoil western chapels are situated over the western corner bays of the naos. Two more chapels are located over the diakonikon and prothesis at the east end of the building. Access to the roof was through a staircase inside the tower south of the narthex.
The masonry of the south church and ambulatory are the same: approximately five courses of brick alternating with three or four courses of dressed stone, each course of stone separated from the next by one or two courses of brick. Its central core, a simple domed square bay, is enveloped on three sides by an ambulatory. The east side of the domed core extends into the bema with an apse, seven-faceted on the outside. The marble floor of the bema has been preserved. The rest of the floor in the naos was paved in the opus sectile technique. The walls and vaults were covered with mosaics. The ambulatory is lower than the domed core and the bema, providing the access of light into the central space of the naos through triple-windows on three sides of the square core. The naos is preceded by a narthex, originally covered by a dome. The narthex and the ambulatory were filled with tombs, leaving the central domed core to function as the main liturgical space.
One of the most striking aspects of the complex was the abundance of burials of different types within the monastery: twenty-nine tombs, along with four ossuaries. The tombs were placed in arcosolia, built along the outer walls of the perambulatory. The interior was painted with frescoes, as suggested by fragments preserved in the westernmost arcosolium of the perambulatory's south arm. The façades, in their rhythm of stepped pilasters and doors, closely follow those of the two churches.
The north church provides probably the largest and the most outstanding collection of Middle Byzantine sculptural decoration in Constantinople. Original decorated window mullions, leveled cornices, corbels are still found in situ. The ornamental repertory consisted of foliage, palmettes, fantastic plants, rosettes, crosses, peacocks, and eagles. These provided inspiration for similarly decorated mullions and cornices for the south church, but they are simpler and less precise in carving.
A great number of fragments of ornamentally carved slabs, cornices, archivolts, sculptured eagles, inlaid plaques, and glazed tiles were found in the excavations of 1929 and 1960s. Among these, there was a complete 10th-century inlaid icon of St. Eudokia. The glazed tiles, with painted floral and geometric ornaments, also belong to the 10th century and were probably used as borders and frames. A group of fragments with sculptured busts of the Apostles belonged to an archivolt, probably carved for one of the arcosolia.

Icon of St. Eudocia
c. 10th-11th century
Marble, 66 x 28 cm
This marble icon of St. Eudocia is arguably the most important of the discoveries of the Monastery of Lips. It was discovered upside down in a corner outside the southwest roof chapel in which it may originally have been placed. The border consists of a groove filled with a row of yellowish color diamonds placed end to end. In the center of each diamond is a circular mass of glass paste alternately red and green. In the four corners of the frame the little inlaid plaques are treated in the same fashion, but they are square instead of diamond-shaped. The spaces between the diamonds are filled with little triangular plaques made of a dark red stone
In the center of the icon St. Eudocia is represented standing full-length in an orant position. Her crowned head is surrounded with a yellowish halo. Her face, hands, and neck are of the same color. The Saint wears a long dark red garment richly decorated with gold and precious stones, indicated by means of little inlaid plaques. Some of these are yellowish to denote gold, others green to denote emeralds, while the round white ones stand for pearls. The garment terminates at the top and bottom in a border of a yellowish color inlaid with little squares of glass paste alternately red and green. The girdle and cuffs are treated in the same fashion except for the addition of a row of pearls. The front part of the garment is decorated down its entire length with a double row of rectangular plaques of a yellowish color having green centers of glass paste. These plaques are separated from one another by grey strips with small white discs denoting pearls. To the belt is attached the thorakion which bears the same decoration as the garment but in a triple row. On each arm as well as at knee level the garment is decorated with a circular segmentum, the one over the right knee being hidden by the thorakion. On her head the Saint wears an imperial crown decorated with pearls and a row of precious stones, and having perpendulia attached to it. The base of the neck is encircled by a collar (maniakion) having a double row of pearls. The face and neck consist of a single plaque of pink stone, the features being indicated by means of shallow incisions. The hands are done in the same manner. The expression of the face is vivid but austere, coming close to a written description of Eudocia. On either side of the head is the following incised inscription H AΓIA/EYΔOKHA. The letters must have been filled with some colored matter, possibly mastic.
Funerary Stele of the Nun Maria
c. 1300 ?
This funerary seems to depict a nun called Maria, a daughter of Palaiologos. Even though it was a stray find, it was quickly attributed to the Monastery of Lips. The identification of this Maria remains elusive. If the stele indeed comes from Lips, she was probably one of Theodora's descendants. The verses of the stele, in the first person, purportedly written by the nun Maria, boast of her Palaiologan lineage, lament obscure past sorrows, and supplicate Christ to receive her into His heavenly bridal chamber. The first-person voice of the epigram also served to enhance the efficacy of the prayer that the nun addressed to Christ from her grave:
Receive me, Christ, [my] handsome bridegroom;
Heeding the intercession of Thy mother,
Open for us the spiritual bridechamber.
Clothe us in the garment of divine marriage,
And place us in the ranks of your [fellow] banqueters.
I, the nun Maria, faithful sebaste
And daughter of a Palaiologos, write these words.
Reconstructed Archivolt with representations of the Apostles from the North Church
An approximate reconstruction of the archivolt was made by joining together the connecting fragments. Of the decoration of the archivolt there remain six and a half busts as well as one head without a body. There are also several fragments of haloes. The inside rim of the arch is decorated with a wreath of acanthus which is interrupted at regular intervals by one corner of each bust. Starting at the left foot of the arch, we have first a beardless apostle, either Thomas or Philip. Of his nimbus only a small part is preserved on the left. The head is in excellent condition, except for the nose. Of the body there remain the right shoulder and blessing hand. In the space immediately following we have placed a very expressive head, probably that of the apostle Andrew in view of the characteristic arrangement of the hair with wavy locks.
Part of the halo and a tiny fragment of the decoration of the spandrel are preserved to the left. The head is represented frontally and is in good condition; the tip of the beard and the locks of hair to the right are missing. In the two empty spaces that follow we have placed, first, part of a halo with traces of the upper part of a head, and, second, half of a headless bust holding a gospel book. There follows an empty space with only a small part of a halo in the upper right corner and then a headless bust, probably that of Paul, holding a scroll. Above this there remain part of the halo and of the adjoining acanthus leaf. Between this bust and the next one to the right, of which only a tiny part is preserved, is a gap corresponding to the crown of the arch. At the center is a representing the upper part of Christ's head with a cross nimbus. All that remains is the forehead with locks of hair and the left eyebrow.
In the right-hand side of the arch, the restoration of which admits of no doubt, there remain four busts, three of which retain their heads. Proceeding from the top downward we have, first, the bust of an Evangelist whose body is represented en face while his head is bent slightly to the right. The head is well preserved except for its lower part. The beard and part of the mouth are missing. There follows the headless bust of a blessing apostle and next to him a nearly intact bust, probably that of St. Peter, holding a scroll. The upper part of the head with its wrinkled brow and the halo are very well preserved. The following space remains completely empty. Finally, we have the bust of the other beardless apostle, Thomas or Philip, the base of which forms a flat surface. There remain the right side of the body and the head with part of the halo. The head, which has a particularly broad brow with locks of hair falling over it, is well preserved. The tip of the nose and part of the chin have been broken off.

Fragments of an icon of a Military Saint
Thessalian marble, 87 x 52 cm
Several pieces of green Thessalian marble were discovered, which when fitted together, produced about one half of an icon representing a military saint. This icon, also without border, was the largest discovered. The inlaid decoration has not been preserved. The saint was represented standing en face under an arch supported by two columns. The columns have, at regular intervals, horizontal bands indicated by strips of the same green marble. The rest of the decoration, including the arch and the stylized leaves on either side of it, consisted of inset plaques. The saint held in his right hand a spear and in his left a shield. Above the halo are two circular cavities in the background, probably for the insertion of little plaques bearing the saint's name. This fashion of representing military saints was common from the eleventh century onward. A close parallel is provided by the mosaic of St. Theodore Tiron at Hosios Lukas.
Glazed Tiles
Circular Plague Representing a Duck
Cornice Fragment with Peacock
Sarcophagus Fragment with Jonah
4th-5th century
This sarcophagus fragment was discovered near the Monastery of Lips. It shows the first of the three main events of Jonah's story: being thrown from the ship and swallowed by a sea monster. Four nude men stand in the boat with a spiraling prow. One of the crew is shown holding the rudder with both hands. Another one is in the attitude of an orant, possible in accordance with Jonah 1:5 addressing the Lord. The third figure is holding the mast of the sail which is shown like a half-crescent. The last one is almost pushing an already naked Jonah into the mouth of the 'great fish'. Ancient Jewish literature informs us that an intense heat in the belly of the monster consumed Jonah's garments and hair and he was naked when he was vomited later. In the relief he still keeps his hair (and beard?) and his nakedness may refer to baptism or his future nakedness. In the sea another fish like a dolphin is shown.

… on the fourth she walked out the front door, smiled at the winter sun and hiked for a full day to our father's house, where she waited on his lawn for him to find her.
What follows is a series of what seems initially like disconnected short stories which vary in weirdness from a fisherman who works in tandem with a seal pup to catch Oneblood tuna fish, to a psychotic farmer of wombats, to a gin-swigging tough-dame detective, to a water-rat who's god of the Esk River, but these elements are all linked to form an extraordinary tale. Once you surrender to the world of the novel, it has a compelling narrative arc as Charlotte McAllister flees her brother who is building a coffin for her, in order (he thinks) for her to escape her fate in flames. The Tasmanian landscape is magnificently evoked – which is interesting because in an interview (see below for the link) Arnott says he doesn't mention Tasmania once, and it's true, I didn't recognise any of the place names except for the Esk River and I know Tassie reasonably well. The quirkiness of the characters – a staple of novels set in small town Australia – allows for good-natured humour as well as biting satire, but it's the mythic qualities of this novel that make it special… it's as if Arnott has invented a whole mythology that is all our very own.
You can hear an illuminating interview with the author here.
If you like the fiction of Jane Rawson, I think you will like this one too.
A book from Tassie called 'Flames'. Well that intrigued me. And then! And then, the excerpts you've given us . . . I am more than intrigued now. It sounds fascinating indeed.
This one sounds like a ripper.
Yes. Good fun, and interesting!
That's a great test isn't it, to be able to evoke a place without naming it.
Indeed. I went to a workshop run by Mairi Neil this week where we focussed on using images from the senses. It's hard to do. I discovered when I was trying to convey the smell of an empty house full of old furniture, that I just don't have the vocab to describe the smell of things.
I find Mairi's posts very good at 'evoking' – with their mix of prose, images and poetry.
She's amazing, isn't she? Her photography is great too.

Good morning friends! I hope that y'all's week has been great and you have remembered to enjoy every second as though it is your last.
My senior year of high school we had to come up with a senior quote to put under our picture in the yearbook. As I was researching quotes I came upon one that quickly became my motto, "Out of 100 men, one will read the bible the other 99 will read the Christian." D.L. Moody. I think that this is an important quote because we as Christians need to live like we have something different, because we do, but also because people are watching us wanting to know what's so special about us, why they need Jesus.
If we are walking around just like everybody else, living like we don't have Christ. There is nothing different about us, and there is no apparent reason for people to come to know Jesus. We are told to be in the world but not of it. So be in the world, but be different, be a light. Of course we are going to have our flaws, we all sin. But we should let God shine through our hard and broken times, that's what makes us different.
So shine bright, because somebody is probably watching you and reading you, let them see Him.

With the spring season comes a fresh round of seasonal produce. While I haven't gotten into experimenting with recipes highlighting rhubarb, I absolutely love playing with the arrival blood oranges. The color is incredible and the flavor is divine. These margaritas are no different.
As for the music to pair with the drink, I chose a few pop mavens with Latin flare, inspired by summer nights along the Mexico coast. Perfect for a little dance party while you're mixing your margarita.
In a small saucepan over medium high heat, combine sugar and water. Stir until sugar has dissolved to create your simple syrup. Juice limes and blood oranges. (Tip: if you are finding that it is difficult to extract juice from blood oranges, pierce the flesh of the orange in multiple locations before placing face down on the juicer. We found when we did this, we would get double the juice from each orange.) To make the drink, begin by filling a shallow salad plate with water and another with sugar or salt. Dip your glass in the water, then dip your glass in salt or sugar. (I'm a salt girl myself!) Add ice to glass. Then add 1 T of simple syrup. Using a jigger, measure the tequila, orange liqueur, and margarita mix. Add the juice of the lime and blood oranges. Garnish with a lime and enjoy!

The Cragg Vale Coiners were a notorious gang of counterfeiters near Hebden Bridge whose activities came close to wrecking the currency of Britain. They removed the edges of gold coins and melted them down to make new coins. Find out the full story at Heptonstall Museum.
Marsden Cuckoos
It is said that many years ago the people of Marsden were aware that when the cuckoo arrived so did the spring and sunshine. They tried to prolong its stay by building a wall around it. Unfortunately the wall wasn't high enough: as the legend says… "it were nobbut just wun course too low." Marsden now holds an annual Cuckoo Festival.
Slaithwaite Moonrakers
Slaithwaite smugglers developed a business dealing in rum and whisky, using the newly built canal to bring barrels of spirits by barge. One day as they were handing them over to customers, soldiers came by so the smugglers slipped the barrels into the reeds at the side of the canal.
Later that night, they went back to retrieve the contraband using big garden rakes. The soldiers once again came back, this time during the bright moonlit night and asked "what are you doing?". The answer came swiftly back in a slurred tongue: "can't you see – the Moon has fallen into the water and we are raking her out!" "Daft moonrakers" said one soldier to the others and they walked off laughing at the stupidity of the Slaithwaiters. Obviously once the coast was clear, the not-so-daft smugglers retrieved their goods…
The Holmfirth Tiger
Holmfirth once had its own resident tiger. It belonged to the Overends, a family of circus entertainers, who were offered a tiger cub to rear whilst they were on a circus tour of South Africa in 1939. They returned to Britain after the outbreak of World War II, bringing the tiger with them. After a spell in quarantine, Fenella the tiger came to live in the Overend's back garden, and sometimes even inside their Holmfirth house. She was a popular and entertaining member of the local community for 10 years.
Tom Mix (1880 – 1940) features on the cover of the Beatles Sgt Peppers' album and in 336 films, often westerns where he did his own stunts and many silent movies. Look out for a stone dedicated to him by the path leading to Penistone Hill at St. Michaels & All Angels Parish Church in Haworth.
James Bamforth of Holmfirth was known as the 'king of the lantern slides' due to his exceptional artwork for magic lanterns. His company was the first in Britain to make films purely for entertainment purposes. There were no professional film actors at the time, so Bamforth relied on local people for his movie casts and his filming took place mainly in the streets of Holmfirth. Locals could often be seen in the streets getting plastered with custard pies, drenched by fire hoses or having buckets of whitewash tipped over them. According to Derek Bamforth, grandson of James, the local bank manager would allow his bank to be used for the filmed robberies. The railway companies would also stop the trains to allow Bamforth to film railway scenes.
Sheep don't give up – they roll-over…
Cattle grids were installed on the approach roads to Marsden to prevent sheep coming off the moors and munching in private gardens. The sheep were undeterred and have learnt to roll 3 m across hoof-proof metal cattle grids. They have destroyed gardens, and grazed in the village park, cricket field and graveyard. Some have even perfected the art of hurdling 1.5 m fences.
Bonnie Prince Charlie is said to have stayed at the "Old Silent Inn" near Haworth for several weeks, relying on the silence of the locals for his safety and freedom. The villagers were told to 'keep silent'. There have also been several sightings of ghosts in this pub from a headless soldier to a ghostly bell and a large male figure seen at the bar.
Alphin Pike and Alderman Hill near Saddleworth were once the homes of two giants (Alphin & Alderman) who quarrelled over the affections of a beautiful water nymph called Rimmon, who lived in the valley below them. Their jealously got the better of them and they threw giant boulders at each other in a mortal contest across the valley. These rocks can still be seen strewn over the countryside. There are some caves in Alderman Hill known as the Fairy Holes.
Enoch Tempest was born in Haworth in 1843. He is reported to have been such a drunk, he once woke up in New York and had to work his way home. After this he became the famous teetotal builder of Yorkshire reservoirs such as those at Keighley, Clough Bottom, Barley Reservoir and Walshaw Dean. He became known for extraordinary feats of engineering, building tracks across the bogs and bringing locomotives 400 feet up the hill to build the reservoirs.
Unfortunately he had a very limited knowledge of the local geology and his reservoirs leaked. He lost his money trying to repair them.
Emmeline Pankhurst came to Slaithwaite in June 1907 (year of a fiercely fought Colne Valley by-election) to begin the Suffragette campaign with an open-air meeting. In Marsden in the same year, Eliza Thewlis, Ellen Beever and Elizabeth Pinnance were pelted with old vegetables and banana skins and had to seek refuge in home of Mary Scawthorne. Other Suffragettes in this area included Emily Siddon and Helen Studdard. Feisty women have long been a feature in the South Pennines!
Mary Freeman was one of the country's first female lawyers. She was born, lived and practised in Slaithwaite and became a magistrate in Huddersfield where she established Freeman House, a hostel for ex-prisoners. She was very involved in the Slaithwaite community where she lived all her life.

Q: Skip default model validation in Flask Restplus Because of project specificity I have to write my own model validator for Flask-restplus API app. Simply speaking - when validation error occurs, its format and status code (400) is not proper. It should return JSON object with messages in particular format with status code 422.
What I do is more or less this:

ns = api.namespace('somenamespace', description='blabla')

class MyModel(MyBaseModel):
    def __init__(self):
        self.id = fields.Integer()
        self.name = fields.String()

my_model = api.model('MyModel', MyModel())

@api.marshal_list_with(my_model, envelope='json')
@ns.route('/')
class SomeClass(Resource):

    @api.expect(my_model, validate=False)
    @api.doc(responses={
        200: 'Success',
        401: 'Authentication Error',
        403: 'Requested resource unavailable',
        409: 'Conflict, document already exists',
        422: 'Validation Error'
    })
    def post(self):
        """
        Save single document in the database.
        :return:
        """

        request_payload = json.loads(request.data)
        validated_payload, payload_errors = some_validation(request_payload)

        if payload_errors:
            return jsonify(payload_errors), 422
        else:
            return jsonify({'response': 'ok})

Instance of `MyModel` behaves basically like a dict, so no problem in registration. Problem is that when I send data in `-d`, be it through `curl` from command line, or swagger, I constantly get `400` instead of `422`. I assume this is due to the default, built-in validation of input data based on `MyModel`. This is cool, but I have to omit it, and apply my own validation.

A: in the documentation and as @CloC says, one method is specifying the model as
your_model = ns.model('YourModel', {
    'id': fields.Integer(
        description='The user id'
    )
    'name': fields.String(
        description='The user name'
    )
})

... > profit

@ns.route('/', methods=["post"])
@ns.doc(params={
    "id": "the user id (int)",
    "name": "the user name (str)"
})
class SomeClass(Resource):

    @ns.expect(your_model)  # this defines the request
    # @ns.marshal_list_with(your_model, envelope='json')  # this defines the response
    @ns.response(200, 'Success')
    ... > reponses
    def post(self):
        etc...

        return <response with format as model in marshal>

you might want to re-define the response model though unless you will return something of the form that you put in.. also maybe specify marshal_with as you do not return a list?

Panait Istrati ou Panaït Istrati (10 Agosto 1884 – 18 Abril 1935) foi um escritor romeno que escreveu sobretudo em francês.

Biografia
Nasceu em Brăila, filho de Joiţa Istrate, uma lavadeira, e um contrabandista grego da Cefalónia (que ele nunca conheceu). Ele estudou apenas seis anos de escola primária (tendo repetido dois anos) e começou de seguida a trabalhar, primeiro numa taverna e depois em vários trabalhos, incluindo vendedor ambulante. Apesar da sua curta educação, ele era um grande leitor e começou a escrever por volta de 1907, enviando artigos e contos curtos para jornais socialistas. Istrati envolveu-se seriamente em política, defendendo ideais socialistas, organizando greves e escrevendo artigos.

Istrati levou uma vida de aventura, em 1910 ele inicia a sua vida de viajante, tendo viajado por Bucareste, Istambul, Cairo, Nápoles e Paris (1913-14). Ele sofre de tuberculose e faz uma estadia na Suíça com a intenção de se tratar. Foi aqui que ele faz amizade com Josué Jéhouda que se torna seu professor de francês. Em 1915 volta à Roménia por um período curto onde se dedica a criar porcos. Estes anos de viagens foram marcados por dois casamentos infelizes e longos períodos de vagabundagem.

Vivendo na miséria, doente e deprimido, ele tenta suicidar-se sem sucesso em 1921. Depois desta tentativa, ele escreve ao escritor francês Romain Rolland, por quem tem uma grande admiração. Rolland responde-lhe e fascinado pela vida aventurosa de Istrati incentiva-o a escrever. Em 1923 é publicado Kyra Kyralina (com prefácio de Rolland) o primeiro livro do ciclo Adrien Zograffi.

Em 1927, Istrati visita a União Soviética pela primeira vez, assistindo às celebrações da Revolução de Outubro. Ele volta a este país nos anos de 1928 e 1929, viajando desta vez extensivamente e tomando conhecimento directo dos excessos da ditadura estalinista. Ele escreve Vers l'autre flamme, confession pour vaincus, o primeiro livro a fazer a denúncia destes excessos. Ele foi assim o primeiro intelectual socialista a demonstrar a sua desilusão com o regime soviético, antes de Koestler, Gide, ou George Orwell. As suas críticas ao regime soviético geram problemas com os seus aliados socialistas.

Isolado e sem proteção, ele é várias vezes atacado pelo esquadrões da Guarda de Ferro, um grupo político ultra-nacionalista e fascista romeno que existiu de 1927 até ao final da II Guerra. Ele morre de tuberculose num sanatório em Bucareste.

This report is a continuation of a 1994/ 95 UKWIR contract investigating aspects of water treatment plant operation which influence removal or inactivation of Cryptosporidium oocysts. The results have provided further evidence of the effectiveness of conventional water treatment processes for oocyst removal, and have highlighted the importance of the early part of the filter run with regard to the risk of oocyst breakthrough from rapid gravity filters. The objectives of this work were: To assess the use of particle counters as tools to assist in filter operation; To demonstrate the extent to which operational practices on rapid gravity filters can influence the risk of Cryptosporidium breakthrough; To evaluate the performance of slow sand filtration for oocyst removal; To assess the effect of environmental exposure of oocysts on their susceptibility to disinfection; To identify the potential for spores of aerobic bacteria to act as surrogates for oocysts during water treatment.

Ann Arbor's Penny Seats Theatre Company opens Xanadu on July 14
On July 14 at Ann Arbor's West Park Band Shell, the Penny Seats Theatre Company launches their production of 2007 Broadway musical smash, Xanadu (based on the 1980 cult classic movie of the same name), with a book by Douglas Carter Beane and music and lyrics by Jeff Lynne and John Farrar.
Tony nominated musical comedy Xanadu tells the tale of a Greek Muse's descent from Mt. Olympus to Venice Beach, California, to inspire a struggling artist to achieve the greatest artistic creation of all time – the world's first roller disco. And yes, there will be roller skating in the park!
With direction by R. MacKenzie Lewis and choreography by Sebastian Gerstner, based on concepts by Phil Simmons, the show will feature performers Paige Martin (Ann Arbor), Matthew Pecek (Adrian), Roy Sexton (Saline), Kasey Donnelly (Ypsilanti), Allison Simmons (Holland), Sebastian Gerstner (Ann Arbor), Logan Balcom (Hillsdale), Jenna Pittman (Waterford), and Kristin McSweeney (Ypsilanti). Musical Direction is provided by Richard Alder, costuming by Virginia Reiche, and set design and technical direction by Steve Hankes.
Paige Martin in rehearsal as Clio or Kira with her muse sisters – Jenna Pittman, Logan Balcom, Sebastian Gerstner, Kristin McSweeney, Allison Simmons, and Kasey Donnelly
Martin, who has been nominated for an Encore Michigan Wilde Award for her performance as "Little Sally" in last summer's Penny Seats production of Urinetown – the company's first nomination in the prestigious competition, portrays muse Kira (played by Kerry Butler in the Broadway cast), whose positive intentions to inspire art and love quickly go awry. (Lewis and Gerstner are also nominated this year for Wilde Awards for their work last year at other area theatres.) Martin notes, "This is my third show with the Penny Seats, after playing Little Sally in Urinetown and choreographing Jacques Brel, and I really love the spirit of this company, blending professionalism, inclusion, and whimsy. Playing this muse – Clio or Kira or Kitty or whatever name she's using at any given moment – is such a fun adventure. I get to play screwball comedy and romance and a little campy Greek tragedy all at once. It's a hoot."
Matthew Pecek in rehearsal as Sonny Malone
Pecek, a graduate of Adrian College, portrays Kira's romantic interest 'Sonny Malone' [played in the original Broadway production by American Horror Story's Cheyenne Jackson], and it is Xanadu's unique score that holds the greatest joy for him. "Electric Light Orchestra's harmony-infused pop songs make for the perfect jukebox musical and adding Olivia Newton-John's power ballads into the mix keeps the soundtrack fresh. I truly believe this is the best jukebox musical ever written. This soundtrack kept me alive during exams my sophomore year of college and now I get to rock out to it every night all over again."
Martin, a graduate student at the University of Michigan, observes, though, that the show isn't all fun and games, "I am beyond thrilled to be playing Kira, but the role has come with some significant challenges. Not surprisingly, the most difficult aspect of playing Kira has been the roller skating. It's amazing how much the skates cause slight balance shifts and inhibit sudden, quick movements, thus greatly affecting my acting. Of course, performing on a stage of 'rough rock' [West Park's stamped concrete patio] doesn't make it any easier, but it certainly will add an element of adventure to each performance! I just love playing this quirky, Australian-accented muse from Ancient Greece, among a vibrantly talented cast and creative team, in this ridiculous, yet endearing show."
Roy Sexton in rehearsal as Danny Maguire
Pecek adds, wryly, "Working with Roy Sexton [Sonny's elder rival 'Danny Maguire,' played by Tony Roberts in the original stage show] has been an incredible experience. His poise and natural instinct onstage is rivaled only by his giving nature and his fierce passion for his art. I'll never meet the likes of him again …and I don't think I'd ever want to."
The production process beautifully exemplified how cohesive the local theatre community can be when, due to unforeseen challenges, Phil Simmons was unable to continue in the director role. Penny Seats president Lauren London notes, "More than any other, this show has demonstrated to me the power of our theater community when we stick together. We were heartbroken to lose Phil Simmons as a director for this show, but literally within minutes we had Sebastian expanding his role, Phil's colleague Ryan taking the reins, and friends from The Encore Musical Theatre Company offering their aid as well. The cohesion of this group boggled our minds, crystallized Phil's vision, and touched all of us. We owe the whole community a huge debt of gratitude, and we can't wait to share the result of this collaboration. And we look forward to working with Phil again on a future production."
Xanadu production team including director R MacKenzie Lewis, stage manager Kerry Rawald, and costumer Virginia Reiche – with guest Brendan August Kelly
MacKenzie Lewis is currently the composer and music director for Eastern Michigan University's Theater Department and a lecturer with their Department of Music. Lewis' recent works include composing The Wings of Ikarus Jackson at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., orchestrating and music directing the National Tour and Off-Broadway productions of The Berenstain Bears LIVE: Family Matters, composing Video Games: The Rock Opera and the world premiere musical with Ben Vereen, Soaring on Black Wings. He has kept busy by music directing at the Hangar Theatre in New York, the Performance Network in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and recently performing in the Las Vegas production of Ain't Misbehavin'.
Lewis is effusive about Xanadu and its kitschy era, "This is a show that takes us back to a moment when times were simpler, carefree, our hair was feathered, and roller skates reigned supreme. I love this cheeky and totally tubular love letter to the 80's that both satirizes and celebrates the spirit of my childhood. And who can beat watching videos of Olivia Newton-John roller skating for show research?"
Pecek elaborates, "This show is certainly an irreverent romp through the 80s but at its core, it's about a man who needs guidance and the woman who shows him the path to artistic fulfillment. The musical serves as both a ridiculous comedy and a feminist anthem and I think that's one reason it's been so successful in the last decade."
Xanadu will run at West Park's band shell from July 14th to July 30th at 7:00pm on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
Advance tickets are available for $10 at the group's website, http://www.pennyseats.org. Although the curtain goes up at 7:00pm each evening, pre-show picnicking is encouraged for audience members, and the group will sell water and concessions at the park as well.
ABOUT THE PENNY SEATS: Founded in 2010, we're performers and players, minimalists and penny-pinchers. We think theatre should be fun and stirring, not stuffy or repetitive. We believe going to a show should not break the bank. And we find Michigan summer evenings beautiful. Thus, we produce dramas and comedies, musicals and original adaptations, classics and works by up-and-coming playwrights. And you can see any of our shows for the same price as a movie ticket.

Ann Arbor's Penny Seats Theatre Company with two offerings – The Canterbury Tales and Xanadu – this summer
From our press release … which is why I refer to myself in the third person on my own blog … or I'm just having a nervous breakdown. Or both.
Ann Arbor's Penny Seats Theatre Company is set to open its sixth summer season at West Park, performing outdoor professional theatre at movie-ticket prices, on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays throughout June and July. This year, the group's season will open with a modern adaption of Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales (by Lindsay Price), followed by the 2007 Broadway musical smash, Xanadu (based on the 1980 cult classic movie of the same name), with a book by Douglas Carter Beane and music and lyrics by Jeff Lynne and John Farrar.
Canterbury Tales, directed by Anne Levy (Brighton), is set to star Matt Cameron (South Lyon), Dale Dobson (Milford), Jenna Hinton (Farmington Hills), Jeff Miller (Ann Arbor), Tina Paraventi (Ypsilanti), Debbie Secord (Ypsilanti), Jeff Stringer (Ann Arbor), and Jennifer Sulkowski (Plymouth). Tina Paraventi, who plays the show's holier-than-thou Prioress, expressed great excitement about this new adaptation: "This is a wonderful adaptation of Chaucer's Middle-English collection of stories, accessible to today's audiences, very high-energy and entertaining. It's also great fun for the actors, who not only play the travelers, but also act out different roles in the stories told by each traveler." Debbie Secord (who plays the devilish Wife of Bath) agreed: "This cast and crew are phenomenal and I can't wait to see what we can accomplish with this show. I must say, I am particularly fond of the host of characters I will be playing in the show, most notably the Wife of Bath and the chicken—ahem—hen, Pertelote. I must say, I've never played poultry before and am looking forward to it!"
This hilarious, energetic show will run at West Park, in the band shell area, from June 16th to July 2nd at 7:00pm on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
Next up is the 2007 Tony nominated musical comedy, Xanadu. It tells the tale of a Greek Muse's decent from Mt. Olympus to Venice Beach, California, to inspire a struggling artist to achieve the greatest artistic creation of all time – the world's first roller disco. And yes, there will be roller skating in the park!
With direction and choreography provided by Phil Simmons, along with Musical Direction by Richard Alder, the show will feature performers Paige Martin (Ann Arbor), Matthew Pecek (Berkley), Roy Sexton (Saline), Kasey Donnelly (Ypsilanti), Allison Simmons (Holland), Sebastian Gerstner (Ann Arbor), Logan Balcom (Hillsdale), Jenna Pittman (Waterford), and Kristin McSweeney (Ypsilanti).
Roy Sexton, who plays Danny Maguire, the show's curmudgeonly businessman, summed up the feelings of many in the cast about Xanadu's quirky place in the musical theatre cannon: "I've loved Xanadu since I first viewed it – about a million times – on HBO in the early 80s. I wore out two copies of the ELO/Olivia Newton-John/Gene Kelly soundtrack, but I always lived in shame because the film was such a notorious Hollywood bomb. When it was revived and reinvented so successfully on Broadway, I secretly (well, not so secretly) hoped the Penny Seats would eventually take on this campy, kitschy, satirical stage re-do of the movie. The score is crackerjack and the narrative is just so hysterically loopy that I knew it would be a great fit for us. I live in shame no more!"
Advance tickets to both shows are available at the group's website, www.pennyseats.org. Although the curtain goes up at 7:00pm each evening, pre-show picnicking is encouraged for audience members, and the group will sell water and concessions at the park as well.

"That's a very good question. I think there's a future for an [Audi] icon but I don't know if it's a TT. My heart bleeds when you ask that question!"
I am surprised they can make money let alone keep it going with sales figures like this. Anyone know what other auto is built on the same platform that would allow it to have low production cost to keep on selling?
The current TT is on MQB, along with countless other VWAG products.
A 2 seat sports car on the chopping block so that manufacturers can make an 7th SUV instead, SHOCKER!!!
Platform may be shared, but that doesn't mean the car makes a profit. I doubt it does with those minuscule sales.
No doubt the TT will get chopped, I think the 8/7 is not far behind... at least the a7.
Well, somebody important likes it enough.
I don't think the A8 will go away, it is used as the basis for the Bentley. Also need to look at the vehicle globally. It does better in EU and China than it does here.
suvs are why we can't have nice things like roadsters anymore.
Disagree, SUV's are not to blame. Consumers tastes are.
Roadsters might be nice to look at but unless they are profitable, hard to justify for the bulk of society to own and use.
You're both kinda saying the same thing from different perspectives. It is the homogeneity of SUVs (the car for everyone) that makes roadsters less profitable and more likely to be cut from lineups.
Right; but they have to ship it, certify/crash test it, market-comply it, distribute it, stock parts for it, advertise for it.
Agree, me think the profits are Vaporware here in the US at least!
The A7 and A8 aren't going anywhere. They are actually expanding the range of both models.
They can make each car have a dozen variants under the same model name, but people actually have to BUY them. Feb A8 sales were 242 cars, A7 was 474. 2 'models' = 700 units. Yikes.
Audi is like Buick. Sells better in China.
Yeah Audi sold almost 1.5 million vehicles combined in China and Europe, ~225,000 in USA.
Does audi build the A7 / A8s in the US or are they all imported?
There has to be a considerable bottom (money) line when importing vs. building them in the market they are sold in.
They're both built in Germany. I don't think they build them in China yet.


On his right shoulder Lonhro is branded with the number 344.
The figures signify that he was the 344th foal of around 400 to be born at Woodlands Stud in 1998.
In truth, Lonhro was the No.1 foal to arrive at Woodlands that year, and probably the best ever born there.
And the horse whose foaling sheet records him as being "tiny but perfectly formed" has proved it time-after-time, whether as a racehorse or a stallion.
Lonhro was Australia's Champion Three-Year-Old and Champion Miler. He won 26 of his 35 starts, 11 of them at G1 level, only once had a losing sequence of more than one race and was the first Australian Horse of the Year to also become the country's Champion Sire.
Twenty years later, Lonhro still holds an exalted place in the Australian thoroughbred breeding industry, maintaining his position among the top 10 on the General Sires' list and boasting an almost 72 per cent ratio of winners-to-runners.
As Lonhro prepared for his 15th season at stud in 2018, his sons and daughters provided a series of notable updates to his story.
In the autumn his three-year-old son Kementari became Lonhro's 10th G1 winner when he gained some consolation for his narrow defeat in the G1 Caulfield Guineas by storming to victory in the Randwick Guineas.
Kementari is also Lonhro's best performer for the season with three Group wins and two G1 placings.
Later in the season his wonderfully-credentialed colt Impending added a second G1 win to his record in the G1 Kingsford Smith Stakes at Doomben and was narrowly beaten in the G1 Doomben 10,000. Impending is a son of the multiple G1-winning filly Mnemosyne who has also produced his sister Epidemic who is a stakes winner this season.
These significant successes preceded the effort of Lonhro's US-bred son Gronkowski to finish second to the Triple Crown champion Justify in the G1 Belmont Stakes in New York in June, a performance that may yet mean more for his sire.
Impending joins the firm of "Lonhro & Sons" on Darley Australia's 2018 roster. He will stand at Northwood Park in Victoria with Lonhro's G1 Golden Rose winners Exosphere and Denman standing alongside their sire at Kelvinside, NSW.
It has also been an outstanding year for Lonhro's G1 Golden Slipper-winning son Pierro.
As well as being his sire's best performer, so far, on the racetrack where he won five G1s, Pierro is Lonhro's best performer at stud where he has produced this season's classic winners Levendi (G1 Australian Derby) and Pinot (G1 VRC Oaks).
While the junior members of the dynasty will eventually prove worthy replacements for their sire, it is still the old man who sets the standard.
Lonhro has sired more than 160 individual winners in 16 countries in the period corresponding to the 2017-2018 Australian season.
Among them were stakes winners in the United States, Canada, Britain and South Africa, as well as Australia.
Approaching the end of the current season, Lonhro has a winners-to-runners ratio of 71.6 per cent and his progeny overall have won some 2450 races and around A$101 million.
He is also the only stallion among the top 10 on the Australian General Sires table with a son (Pierro) also in the top 10.

Tenant Shoots Landlord — (KMTR)
KMTR
June 30, 2011 Updated: 6:02 pm
Reported by: Chris McKee, Email: chrismckee@kmtr.com
ALBANY, Ore. (KMTR) — New information and a possible motive has been released in an Albany homicide, as the female suspect in the case makes her first appearance in court on Thursday.
35 year-old Melissa Amber Haley of Albany is charged with murder in the shooting death of 49 year-old Derrick Miller of Albany. Haley was arraigned on the charge Thursday, June 30th, 2011.
Albany Police say Miller and Haley lived in the same house. Miller was Haley's landlord. Police say Haley admitted to shooting Miller just before noon on Wednesday, June 29th, 2011.
According to the probable cause affidavit in the case, at least four people lived in the home where the shooting happened, on the 600 block of Montgomery Street in southeast Albany.
In the affidavit, Albany Police say Haley rented two rooms in the home, one for herself and one for her 12 year-old kid, starting in December 2010. Police say Miller and his wife also lived in the home.
Police say Haley called 911 on Wednesday, telling dispatchers she has "just shot a man." When Albany Police officers arrived on scene, according to the affidavit, Haley exclaimed, "I couldn't take it anymore!" and "He's a pedophile!"
According to the affidavit, Haley later spoke to detectives, accusing Miller of sexually abusing a 4 year-old in the basement of the home in December 2010. Haley alleged that the 4 year-old was in Miller's wife's care. Haley also told police that she never reported the allegations to authorities, only to her friend.
In the investigation, Albany Police also interviewed Miller's wife. In the affidavit, police say Miller's wife told detectives that she hasn't provided day care to anyone in the last five years, also that no young children visit the residence at all.
Neighbors say they are shocked by the shooting.
"These people were really nice people. They never fought and argued with each other, we spent afternoon with them where they could have, and they just didn't do that, they were just really gentle people. Always active in the neighborhood and active going out boating, camping all the time, fishing," says David Cunningham, a neighbor, speaking of the Miller family.
Other details in the affidavit also state that Haley told Albany Police that she had shot Miller in the stomach. Officers found Miller in his home with a gunshot wound in his head.
The affidavit also states that Haley told Albany Police that she suffers from "anxiety" and "depression" and is on medication to treat both conditions.
The Albany Police Department and Linn County District Attorney's Office declined any further comment on the case on Thursday, June 30th, 2011. Both agencies are continuing to investigate the case.
Albany Police served a search warrant on the home on Thursday and cleared the crime scene early Thursday afternoon.

Jamestown lineman Drew Wilder commits to Navy
Jamestown OL Drew Wilder (Photo: Joe Barnes/recruit757)
Drew Wilder picks the US Naval Academy as his next step
by Andy Hilton, recruit757
ODU head football coach Bobby Wilder has been a resident of Hampton Roads for over ten years.
Just a few years ago, his elder son Derek graduated from Maury High School and went on to join the Old Dominion football program.
Younger son Drew Wilder (2020 OL 6-3 285) was rumored to be headed elsewhere and he confirmed that on Monday with his commitment to the Naval Academy.
Drew explained his enthusiasm for Navy and the reasons behind his decision:
"I loved the campus and the coaches. I believe it's a great life decision," Drew Wilder stated. "It sets up your life after college with a career of your choice and allows you to make a living doing something you love. You get a world class education while playing high level football. Can't get better then that."
Of course, with Bobby Wilder as a dad, you can bet Drew was getting fantastic advice on recruiting. Drew had seen his brother Derek go through the process. If Bobby Wilder wanted to be sure to land Drew, you can bet it would have happened. Instead, Drew is headed to the US Naval Academy where he'll work hard, but he'll also be highly rewarded.
Drew competed at our recruit757/Sparta Science Showcase at Redskins Park back in March and he performed well against the best competition the state can offer. He was an All-Region 4A selection at center in his junior season, and his off-season has been filled with camp stops and extra work on his craft.
The hard work has paid off.
"I'm extremely grateful for this opportunity," he said.
Drew will come out of the Naval Academy as an officer, just like every other Midshipman. The work to play football is added to the work that every other Middie is required to do. You play football at Navy not because you're chasing an athletic scholarship. You play football at Navy because you love football, and you see the benefits that the Naval Academy can deliver for a lifetime.

DLF to kick off construction of 2 million sq ft office space in Gurugram
Realty developer DLF will commence the development work on 2 million sq ft of office space shortly in Gurugram, as it witnesses increasing demand for Grade A office buildings in the following year.
The managing director at DLF Rental Business, Sriram Khattar, told the media that the firm's under-construction buildings have already been completely leased. He said that the firm would pump in Rs 1,500 crore on the development of office space in downtown Gurugram and Chennai.
The company has proposed another block of approximately 2 million sq ft on which, once the permissions come in, the development should begin in the coming 2-3 months, according to Khattar.
As per the DLF Cyber City Developers (DCCDL), the rental arm of the company, leasing momentum has picked up in the past six to eight weeks. Two towers in Downtown Gurugram, each with 1.25 million sq ft are almost completed.
They expect to receive OC (occupation certificate) within this financial year. One tower is nearly completely leased, and on the other one, they have inked a non-binding contract for approximately 95% of the tower. It would leave very little stock in towers one and two. The design work on that is in an advanced stage, approvals are starting, and they should begin the construction on that in the first quarter of the coming calendar year.
DCCDL's consolidated income reached Rs 1,123 crore in Q2 FY22 as against Rs 1,040 crore in the previous year period. The firm's renewal percentage, which used to be in the 90s, has now dipped to 85%.

To establish a network of experts to assess current status and needs to improve the homogeneous implementation of the comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) as the cornerstone of geriatric medicine as well as its development for multidimensional prognosis, shared decision making and tailored interventions in older adults.
The CGA represents the main common tool for all healthcare practitioners in ageing medicine. Its appropriate use has enormous implications on the adequate care of the steadily growing European older population. Regular updates on the state of the art of CGA methodology and use for prognosis evaluation will be fundamental for the improvement of European geriatrics and of fruitful collaboration, goal oriented interactions with all actors of high-level geriatric management – nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, nutritionists, spiritual carers among others.

The National Screen Institute – Canada is now accepting applications for the 2018-19 edition of NSI Features First, presented in association with Telefilm Canada.
The course is a development training launch pad for writer/producer teams looking to produce their first or second feature film with strong commercial appeal. More than 20 feature films developed through the program have been produced since 1997.
Program searching for new filmmakers Back to video
Up to four teams will work with Canada's best industry experts to polish their script; hear firsthand how a feature film comes together from development to pitch, production and release; get the latest in market intelligence from distributors, producers, broadcasters and funders, and find out where their film fits into the marketplace; meet potential financing partners and learn more about banks, agencies, funds, private investors and tax credits; attend the Toronto Screenwriting Conference, plus a two-day story editing session (writers only); and explore online marketing and find out how to extend their personal brand, generate buzz for their film, use crowd-funding and build an audience.
Although training takes place over 10 months, participants keep their day jobs and attend short, intensive training sessions at intervals throughout the program.
Accepted teams also receive $7,500 from NSI to put towards additional story editing and approved development costs; up to $10,000 in-kind in lighting and grip equipment rental from William F. White International; and up to $7,500 in-kind post-production support from Deluxe.

The Adventurers' Club of Los Angels thanks Alan Feldstein for referring this speaker.
I've wanted to travel to Bolivia ever since I was a kid. It's been on my list of countries to see ever since I started traveling internationally while in university. But somehow there was always another far flung place to go to first.
This past May I spent 3 weeks there.
The first week I stayed in Cochabamba, where I took Spanish classes and did a homestay with a family.
Then I traveled solo for two more weeks. I first went south to Salar de Uyuni, the salt desert; further south to Tupiza where I did a two day horse back ride into the mountainous desert there.
I flew to Rurrenabaque which is the entry into the Bolivian Amazon and took a 6 hour boat ride up river to a village run ecolodge in the jungle for 5 days.
I managed just 2 days in La Paz in between. In each place, the Bolivians I met took great care of me, even if it was just to get me from the bus station to my actual bus on time.
Bolivia in some ways has been lost in time. Credit cards are useless in most instances. Outside of the Amazon, very few Bolivians speak English. I encountered some Australian travelers, few Europeans and only one other American.
For reasons I've been thinking about a lot, the country hasn't captured the imagination of the travelers who more readily venture into Peru, Chile or Brazil.
Yet, I fell in love with it. It's "lonely place", as Pico Iyer says, "Lonely Places are the places that don't fit in." I'd say that Bolivia fits that description.
