According to Greek mythology, Deadalus was the greatest painter, architect and sculptor in ancient Athens and all primitive works of architecture and sculpture were attributed to him. Before him, all sculptures were wooden or made of clay. But Daedalus came and gave shape to the sculptures so graceful, that people thought they were real people, ready to move, so they fastened them with chains to capture them .

Hacker President
Presidential Hopeful Beto O'Rourke Belonged to Infamous Hacker Group
The Cult of the Dead Cow recently claimed O'Rourke as one of their own.

Political Hack
Presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke just admitted to spending his teenage years as part of the Cult of the Dead Cow (CDC), a group of hackers that first coined the term "hacktivism."
O'Rourke, who failed to unseat Senator Ted Cruz in the 2018 midterm election and recently decided to run for president instead of challenging Senator John Cornyn in 2020, told Reuters that he credits the hacker group for helping develop his worldview — an intriguing admission for an unusual candidate who skateboards and used to play in a punk band.
Hacker-Lite
According to Reuters, there's no evidence that O'Rourke actually engaged in any sort of serious hacking, though he did cop to stealing the long-distance phone service necessary for reaching the online message boards of the day.
Rather, O'Rourke seemed to spend his time in the Cult of the Dead Cow writing and sharing fiction with the community, such as a short story he wrote at age 15 about running over children in a car, Reuters reports.
"We weren't deliberately looking for hacking chops," CDC founder Kevin Wheeler told Reuters, describing the group's attitude during the period of time O'Rourke was most active. "It was very much about personality and writing, really. For a long time, the 'test,' or evaluation, was to write [text files]. Everyone was expected to write things. If we were stoked to have more hacker-oriented people, it was because we'd be excited to have a broader range in our t-files."
Formative Years
"There's just this profound value in being able to be apart from the system and look at it critically and have fun while you're doing it," O'Rourke said. "I think of the Cult of the Dead Cow as a great example of that."
The presidential hopeful, who espouses a mix of traditional liberal and libertarian views, describes the group as a sort of network for outcasts from society.
"When Dad bought an Apple IIe and a 300-baud modem and I started to get on boards, it was the Facebook of its day," he said. "You just wanted to be part of a community."

6 Dead In Chicago Shootings Over The Weekend
Chicago police are reporting that 6 people are dead as a result of shootings over the weekend.
The AP reports that 6 people were killed and another 11 wounded in a string of gun violence that took place over the weekend in Chicago. On Friday, a 17-year-old and a 22-year-old were both killed in separate shootings. Then an 18-year-old and a 29-year-old were killed as a result of gun violence.
After two days of gun violence resulting in deaths, Chicago still couldn't breathe easy. On Sunday morning, a 42-year-old man was shot in the head after a vehicle crash. The woman in his vehicle was taken to a hospital. In a separate event, a man in his late 20s was shot in the armpit and later pronounced dead at a hospital.
It should be noted that none of these deaths are likely related. If anything, Chicago found itself with an incredibly violent weekend. Unfortunately, it's not anything new for residents of Chicago as people are sometimes killed by stray bullets from gang wars. The most recent being a 6-month-old child that was shot and killed by such a stray bullet.

Moss Slams Piven For "Being Highly Unprofessional"
Adrian Peterson On Gay Marriage: "I'm Not With That"


In recent remarks made at the Heritage Foundation, House Speaker John Boehner said that "in Russia's use of old tools and old thinking, we see nothing short of an attempt to restore Soviet-style power and influence." In using this formulation the Speaker gets things only half right. Moscow is undeniably seeking ways to reassert power and influence. But Russia's Putin-era effort to flex its muscles is not in the Soviet mold, as the Speaker suggests. The contemporary effort represents, instead, a modern, adaptive form of authoritarianism, whose particular methods and tools pose new challenges.
Energy plays a big but not exclusive part in Russia's strategy to exert influence today. Russia's resurgence on the international scene has closely tracked the rise in energy prices. The energy windfall from which Russia has benefited over the past decade has been the resource platform for Vladimir Putin's lucrative patronage system at home and clout beyond Russia's borders. These resources animate Russia's modern authoritarianism.
Take mass media, for example. Under Putin, the authorities have brought all of the major national television channels - Channel One, RTR, and NTV – under effective state control. But domestic media under Putin is not the uniformly and oppressively ideological programming of the Soviet era. Russia's media today is rich in entertainment and modern programming of high technical quality and production value. Russian television offers a wide assortment of entertainment options, but for the most part excludes alternative views and analysis on news and public affairs. This is particularly the case where it counts most on national television broadcasts, from which most citizens continue to get their information.
Russian media also plays an important role in influencing perceptions in neighboring countries. The same manipulated programming consumed by Russians within the Russian Federation is watched by ethnic Russians beyond the country's borders. Abroad, Russian-language broadcasts from Moscow are used for instance with respect to Latvia, an economically fragile country of two million that still contends with combustible ethnic minority issues. A steady diet of illiberal media is fed from Moscow to the sizable ethnic Russian minority community in Latvia, giving them a jaundiced view of a host of difficult issues, many of which are integral to minority integration. The destructive role of Russian media in Latvia should not be underestimated.
Recently in Kyrgyzstan, an impoverished post-Soviet republic with reform ambitions, Russian language media originating from Moscow has been used in sophisticated and often subtle ways to shape views.
Russia's leadership values its image in the West and therefore invests handsomely in prestige public relations initiatives, including many millions of dollars for lobbying efforts in Washington and Brussels, and slickly produced advertising supplements in major Western newspapers.
Russia Today, a Kremlin television initiative that broadcasts to North America, Europe, and Asia, represents another piece of the modern authoritarian puzzle. Overseen by the state-controlled RIA Novosti news agency, since its launch in 2005, it reportedly has grown to a staff of several hundred with tens of millions of dollars invested in the initiative.
Meanwhile, Russia has become an integral player in matters of global security, business and economic relations. It is, for instance, seeking membership in the WTO and is already a member of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and the Council of Europe. In 2006, Russia held the presidency of the G-8 and the chairmanship of the Council of Europe, whose mandate is to promote human rights and democracy and uphold the rule of law in Europe. Russia has also blocked reform within the European Court of Human Rights. Today, Russia operates within a raft of leading rules-based institutions and therefore has influence, more often than not seeking ways to hobble the human rights and democratically accountability dimensions of these organizations' work. Undermining Democracy: 21st Century Authoritarians, a 2009 report produced by Freedom House, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and Radio Free Asia, observed that "Russia and its allies in the post-Soviet Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) have pressured the OSCE to move away from election monitoring, the promotion of democratic standards, and the observance of human rights, and urged it to focus instead on economic, environmental, and security issues.
Today, it is important to recognize that current Kremlin ambitions are not as vast as those of Soviet-era vintage. Instead, Russia is pursuing a more circumscribed approach that first and foremost looks to ensure that transparent and accountable (i.e., democratic) systems do not succeed on Russia's periphery. Such successes would pose the greatest threat to the Putin model of governance in Russia. For all of the successes in Central Europe since the fall of the Berlin Wall, the reform record in the former Soviet Union is abysmal. Russia's leadership and standard setting against human rights and democratic reform during the past decade have been embraced by anti-democratic forces throughout Russia's neighborhood and are therefore instrumental in wider obstacles to democratic development in the region. This includes strategically critical Ukraine, which is now in the throes of a democratic rollback led by Ukraine's Moscow-oriented president, Viktor Yanukovych.
Misapprehensions about the shape and designs of today's Russia have important implications. Russia and other leading authoritarian states are operating in more sophisticated ways. In fact, it is precisely because today's Russia is employing new and often more sophisticated methods of repression at home and influence abroad in its use of diplomacy, mass media and economic integration, rather than the old, more familiar ones, that policy makers need to be particularly attuned and attentive.
With Vladimir Putin's unsurprising return to the presidency, quite possibly for another dozen years, there will be a temptation by outside observers to depict today's Russia as a Soviet reprise. Putin in the end may hold power longer than Brezhnev, but the way in which Putinism has evolved should not be mistaken for the staid and rigid model of the 1970s and 1980s. This would be a highly counterproductive diagnosis that could lead to incorrect prescriptions. U.S. officials, analysts and news media should avoid the "Soviet" and Cold War terminology and the trap it sets.

Your Personal Zen Zone
Find some peace and relaxation with these four high-tech gadgets.
By Michael Sandler Verified Updated on March 10, 2022
I'm the classic hyperactive type, always on the go physically (rollerblading, cycling, running) and mentally (nonstop multitasking). At least I used to be. Last month, while I was rollerblading on a bike path, a dad and his toddler stepped out in front of me. I managed to avoid them, but fell hard – I was left with a broken arm, a broken hip, and a triple fracture of my femur.
Owwww.
Being laid up – I'm on special crutches, and a hospital bed has temporarily displaced my sofa – was enormously stressful at first. After all, outdoor exercise has been my chief form of relaxation for many years. But things are looking up since I started making use of a few high-tech relaxation gizmos.
The heart of my new personal "Zen zone" is the HoMedics Gentle Rains Rain Forest Fountain. Available at Walmart.com, this $29.74 device – imagine a wooden shoebox tipped on its side – features illuminated droplets falling onto a metal screen… well, it's hard to describe. But the sound it makes – like rain falling in the forest – is incredibly soothing. The thing even smells like rain, and tropical sounds add to the calming effect. I start the day with "Chimes," switch to "Rainforest" birds at noon, and nod off in the evenings to the chirping crickets of "Summer Nights."
Ahhhh.
If falling rain isn't your cup of tea, you might consider the Sound Soother 20, $79.95 from SharperImage.com. At the push of a button, it produces any of 20 different sounds, including "Fireside," "Yosemite Falls," "Everglades," and "City Traffic" (which I don't quite understand). My favorite is the "Steam Train" chug-a-lug.
I've always found it soothing to listen to classical music when I write – something by Bach or Beethoven, or my favorite, Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Since my accident, I've been spending a lot of time listening to SonicAid CDs, $17 apiece at Brookstone.com. These discs purport to "address different areas of your well-being through the use of sounds recorded in the beta, alpha, theta, and delta frequencies." Mumbo-jumbo, maybe. But when I start to feel like a caged animal, the music on these CDs does a terrific job of calming me down.
Speaking of CDs, I've also been listening to a couple of guided meditations. Wayne Dyer's Meditation for Manifesting, $15 at Amazon.com, has helped me achieve goals and stop sweating the little stuff. Robin Sharma's Meditation for Elite Performers, $10.95 at amazon.com, is more geared toward brainstorming sessions, but it, too, settles my thoughts. That's saying a lot, as my mind can zoom around in a thousand different directions.
Biofeedback is another great way to eliminate negative thoughts and soothe jangled nerves. My favorite biofeedback device is the StressEraser, $299 from StressEraser.com. About the size of a Walkman, this interactive device attaches to your finger to measure your pulse and it awards "points" based on your ability to match your breathing to its LCD display. With daily practice, you learn to control your breathing, and thus soothe your mind, even without the device.
The doctors say I'll be skating again by August. That's great, because next April I plan to rollerblade from coast to coast in world-record time. (You can read about my plans at ADDAmerica.com). Meanwhile, please send healing thoughts my way!

The page area. The page area includes the boxes laid out on that page. The edges of the first page area establish the rectangle that is the initial containing block of the document. The canvas background is painted within and covers the page area.
The margin area, which surrounds the page area. The page margin area is transparent.
When formatting content in the page model, some content may end up outside the current page box. For example, an element whose 'white-space' property has the value 'pre' may generate a box that is wider than the page box. As another example, when boxes are positioned absolutely or relatively, they may end up in "inconvenient" locations. For example, images may be placed on the edge of the page box or 100,000 meters below the page box.
User agents should avoid generating a large number of empty page boxes to honor the positioning of elements (e.g., you do not want to print 100 blank pages).
The 'orphans' property specifies the minimum number of lines in a block element that must be left at the bottom of a page. The 'widows' property specifies the minimum number of lines in a block element that must be left at the top of a page. Examples of how they are used to control page breaks are given below.
Only positive values are allowed.
In the vertical margin between block boxes. When an unforced page break occurs here, the used values of the relevant 'margin-top' and 'margin-bottom' properties are set to '0'. When a forced page break occurs here, the used value of the relevant 'margin-bottom' property is set to '0'; the relevant 'margin-top' used value may either be set to '0' or retained.
Note: It is expected that CSS3 will specify that the relevant 'margin-top' applies (i.e., is not set to '0') after a forced page break.
Rule B: However, if all of them are 'auto' and a common ancestor of all the elements has a 'page-break-inside' value of 'avoid', then breaking here is not allowed.
Rule D: In addition, breaking at (2) or (3) is allowed only if the 'page-break-inside' property of the element and all its ancestors is 'auto'.
If the above does not provide enough break points to keep content from overflowing the page boxes, then rules A, B and D are dropped in order to find additional breakpoints.
Make all pages that do not end with a forced break appear to have about the same height.

Wow, Kris, you poor thing! This is probably going to sound kind of stupid, I'm very untrusting of newfangled things like computers 🙂 , I don't know how long an outline is but maybe you should print at least that part out for just in case. I"ve done that with some things. Of course, I usually forget where I put the darn things. You know, do whatever works for you, honey 😀 .
Stressfull! Well done on pulling it all together again.
Oh no! That stinks, hon! Dang, I bet you about hyperventilated! Glad you found a rough outline and it all worked out though. I hate that I've lost something essential feeling!
I was a HOT MESS. But I lived through it…even when I didn't think I would.
Ha ha ha! If you say so. Lol.

The 4th Arkansas Field Battery (1862–1865) was a Confederate States Army artillery battery during the American Civil War. The battery spent its entire existence in the Department of the Trans-Mississippi, including time in the Indian Territory. Late in the war the battery supported operations in Louisiana. Also known as: Desha County Artillery and West's Battery.

Formation
West's Battery was formed during the spring of 1862 and for a time served in the District of the Indian Territory. It was led by Captain Henry Clay West. Captain West had previously served as the 1st Lieutenant of Woodruff's Weaver Light Artillery of Pulaski County. The other battery officers were First Lieutenant Dan J. Murphy; Second Lieutenant Benjamin B. Brett; Third Lieutenant John J. Brooks. Lieutenant Brett resigned in the early part of the war, and Lieutenant Brooks succeeded him, the place of the latter being filled by Third Lieutenant Peter Dumas.

At the time that Lieutenant West learned that he had been elected captain of a battery organized from Desha County, he was at Fort Smith with the Weaver Light Artillery and the new Desha County battery was report to be at Dardanelle.  West joined the unit at Dardanelle and eventually moved the unit to Indian Territory where it was joined in an artillery battalion with the Weaver Light Artillery under the command of Major Woodruff.

West's battery spent the remainder of the winter and spring in Indian Territory.  When Major General Thomas C. Hindman assumed command of the Department of the Trans-Mississippi on May 31, 1862, one of his first acts was to order General Pike to return first  Woodruff's Battery and eventually West Battery to Arkansas.  This action touched off a bitter struggle between Brigadier General Pike and Major General Hindman that ultimately resulted in Pike demanding to be relieved of command of the Indian Territory.

In an August 1, 1862, telegraph from Major General Thomas C. Hindman to Colonel Charles A. Carroll at Fort Smith, Arkansas, giving him direction to divide two bronze guns obtained from Fort McCulloch in Indian Territory and the six guns of Wests battery between Colonel Carrol, Colonel Cooper and Brigadier General Rains. Hindman gave further instructions on August 8, 1862, when he instructed Colonel Cooper to choose between West's Battery and Howell's battery take three of the bronze guns. On the same day Hindman wrote to Major (former Brigadier General Nicholas Bartlett Pearce of the Confederate Commissary Department at Fort Smith stating, "I want these batteries completely effective by August 25th."

Service

The Desha County Artillery was assigned to Colonel Emmett MacDonald's brigade of Brigadier General John S. Marmaduke's division of Major General Thomas C. Hindman's 1st Corps, Army of the Trans-Mississippi during the Prairie Grove Campaign. At that time the battery consisted of sixty one men, one 6-pounder field gun, and two 12-pounder field guns. The unit did not join Marmaduke's force until after the Battle of Cane Hill on November 28, 1862. According to Captain West's report on the Battle of Prairie Grove, December 7, 1862, Brigadier General Marmaduke ordered the battery to support Brigadier General Fagan's brigade of Shoup's Division. The battery fired in support of Shoup's Division until driven off by the rifled guns of the union artillery. The battery then supported Brigadier General Roan's brigade until nightfall ended the battle.

After Prairie Grove the unit retreated to Van Buren, with the rest of Hindman's Army. As Hindman attempted to reorganize his defeated army, West's battery was assigned to the brigade of Colonel Robert G. Shaver. West's Battery became involved in the Battle of Van Buren, Crawford County, Arkansas, on December 28, 1862, as Union generals James G. Blunt and Francis Herron pursued General Hindman's retreating 1st Corps, Army of the Trans-Mississippi. After Hindman's forces were forced to hastily retreat across the Arkansas River to escape the surprise Union attack, Hindman ordered the battery to shell Union forces in Van Buren. The battery almost struck a decisive below when one of its shells came close to killing both General Blunt and General Herron.

On January 1, Hindman's retreating army was met east of Van Buren by the 15th Texas Cavalry under Colonel J. W. Speight.  Speight's regiment accompanied the retiring Confederate forces to Clarksville, Arkansas. At nearby Piney Bayou on January 7, the "four demoralized Texas [dismounted cavalry] regiments were put under command of Col Speight, creating a brigade.  On January 10, 1863, West's Arkansas Battery was added to Speight's Texas Brigade. The battery would support Texas troops for the remainder of the war.

General Holmes ordered the Texas brigade back through Fort Smith to reinforce Brigadier General William Steele, the new commander of the Indian Territory. The brigade, including West's Battery trudged in varying degrees of cold winter rain and snow, short of wagons, across a country already stripped of forage for men and animals. Snow piled up eight to ten inches deep in places, and a hundred mules from the teams for the supply wagons and an artillery battery froze to death. Cattle and oxen were broken to harness to meet the emergency and to bring the guns and supplies through.

The battery remained in Indian Territory until April 19, 1863, when Speight's Texas Brigade and West's battery were
ordered to proceed to Alexandria, Louisiana, via Shreveport, Louisiana, to oppose a suspected Union advance into Texas. The Battery arrive in Shreveport Louisiana on May 14, 1863. May 14, 1863.

In the summer of 1863, the battery joined Major General Richard Taylor's District of Western Louisiana. West's battery had two 6-pounder smoothbores and two 12-pounder howitzers on February 12, 1864. By the time of the Red River Campaign in the spring of 1864, the unit was assigned to the division artillery of Brigadier General Jean Jacque Alexander Alfred Mouton's 2nd Infantry Division of Taylor's command. According to Major Joseph L. Brent's report of the Battle of Mansfield, "Henry C. West's & Moseley's Batteries were in reserve in rear of line of battle & beyond them Farris & Barnes were held ready for any emergency." On April 19, the battery had only three guns, a 6-pounder, a 10-pounder Parrott (or 3-inch rifle), and a 12-pounder howitzer. It is unknown what happened to the other 6-pounder and 12-pounder reported in February. The Parrott or 3-inch rifle probably came from the Union cannons captured at Mansfield. The battery then helps harass the retreating Union fleet and army as they attempted to escape the falling waters of the Red River.  West's Battery was engaged in the Battle of Mansura, May 16, 1864, and the Battle of Yellow Bayou, May 17, 1864, during the pursuit of Banks fleeing forces.

In July 1864, following the Red River Campaign, the artillery of the District of Western Louisiana was reorganized and West's battery was assigned to Major G. S. Squires, 2nd Battalion of Colonel Bent's Division Artillery.

On September 30, 1864, General E. Kirby Smith, commanding the Confederate Trans-Mississippi Department reported West's Arkansas Battery as assigned to the artillery battalion, commanded by Major William Durbin Blocher, in Major General Thomas J. Churchill's First (Arkansas) Division of Major General John B. Magruder's Second Army Corps, Army of the Trans-Mississippi.

On November 19, 1864, General E. Kirby Smith, issued Special Orders No. 290, organizing the artillery of the department into battalions. The component batteries rarely, if ever, operated together. They were usually assigned individually to an infantry or cavalry brigade to provide fire support. In this reorganization, West's Battery, armed with 4 guns, and still under the command of Captain Henry Clay West was re-designated as the 4th Arkansas Field Battery and assigned to the 5th Artillery Battalion, commanded by Major William Durbin Blocher.

On December 31, 1864, The battery was assigned to Maj. Thomas A. Faries' 3rd Artillery Battalion, in Maj. Gen. Camille Giles de Polignac's 2nd Infantry Division, in Lieutenant General Simon Bolivar Buckner's First Army Corps.

Lieutenant General Richard Taylor offered Captain West the position of Chief of Artillery with the rank of lieutenant-colonel, but West declined, saying that the people of Desha County had sent him this battery to command and he would "remain with it to the close of the war and take the survivors back to their homes".

Surrender
The battery was included in the surrender of General E. Kirby Smith with the Trans-Mississippi Department on May 26, 1865. The date of the military convention between Confederate General Edmund Kirby Smith and Union General Edward Canby for the surrender of the troops and public property in the Trans-Mississippi Department was May 26, 1865, however, it took a while for parole commissioners to be appointed and for public property to be accounted for. As a result, a final report of field artillery which was part of the accounting process, was not completed until June 1, 1865. At the end of the war West's Battery was stationed at Rock Mount, Louisiana, and was armed with four rifled guns, including two 3 inch rifles, one 3.67 inch rifle and one 2.9 inch rifle. Like most Arkansas units in the Trans-Mississippi, the battery did not participate in a formal surrender ceremony, nor did its members report to Shreveport to be paroled as the convention between General Edmund Kirby Smith and General Edward Canby required. Captain West simply disbanded his unit on May 26, 1865, and returned to Arkansas. Captain West and twenty six of his men surrendered at Pine Bluff, Arkansas, on June 6, 1865.

'Grand Horizons,' a Ferociously Funny Vision of Senior Redefinition, Starring Jane Alexander and James Cromwell
(L to R): Ashley Park, Michael Urie, Jane Alexander, James Cromwell in 'Grand Horizons,' by Bess Wohl, directed by Leigh Silverman (Joan Marcus)
At last! There's a new and improved perspective of "seniorhood" that doesn't include steps up the ladder of infirmity and dementia: from independent living to the "Rose Court," from memory care to the palliative slip-away into Hospice. Indeed, as we appreciate and glory over the vibrant humor and comedic power of situation and characters in Bess Wohl's Grand Horizons, we learn a thing or two about "old folks" and "the younger generation" in this rollicking yet profound play.
First, age is attitude. Second, the older one becomes, the more one must think outside of the box, especially out of the type found in replicated, independent living housing. Third, the closer one gets to the "end," the more one should "rage against the dying of the light." Fourth, one can experience in one's later years a vision of life that is freeing, one that destroys the cages we created our entire lives: for they are a mere facsimile of living. Indeed, contrary to seniors who settle for the cardboard, cookie-cutter artificiality of existence in vegetative, pre-fabricated places like Grand Horizons, Wohl reveals that it is possible to make life-affirming changes even at the age of 80 years-old as does her protagonist, Nancy, the amazing Jane Alexander.
Michael Urie, Maulik Pancholy in 'Grand Horizons,' by Bess Wohl, directed by Leigh Silverman (Joan Marcus)
The playwright's brilliant script is cleverly paced by Leigh Silverman's precise direction of the superb ensemble. Masters of the comedy of real, of humor springing from grounded, soulful authenticity, the actors led by Jane Alexander and James Crowmwell pop the quips, jokes, one-liners, twists and turns of phrase and mood to keep the audience laughter rolling in waves of joy. Wohl's well-crafted writing absolutely sings with comedic grace and profound themes, sharply channeled by Silverman. These include the importance of breaking through the stereotypical concepts of aging, family, parenting, marriage, love, intimacy, individuality and autonomy.
The play's situation is common enough. Nancy and Bill, a "typical," retired, fifty-year married couple have taken the next steps toward their journey's end by moving into an independent senior living community. Is it the replication of row after row of modestly, flimsily built homes in a vast similitude (Bryce Cutler's projection design) that sets off Nancy? Or perhaps what triggers her is the whitewashed, pleasant kitchen/dining nook/living room interior of "peaceful" uniformity (Clint Ramos' set design) though it is festooned by artificial greenery.
Jane Alexander, James Cromwell in 'Grand Horizons,' by Bess Wohl, directed by Leigh Silverman (Joan Marcus)
We learn later in a profound and symbolic irony, that the lovely plants don't even have the opportunity to die bio-dynamically as a result of Nancy's over or under watering. They just go on and on and on in lifeless "eternity." Nancy's eyes open to their fake permanence later in the play, after she has confronted herself, her children and Bill with the truth. Her ironic comment about their artificiality has to do with the realizations of her own growth.
The vast sterility of this community is only heightened by the play's opening of Nancy's and Bill's dinner that is choreographed to reveal a mutually synchronized preparation that they execute silently with near robotic precision. Well, enough is enough in this perfect haven of deadness. I could hear Nancy's thoughts as she looked at Bill as they, with synced movements in unison, took out their napkins, then began to drink and eat. What more could anyone their age wish want? They appear to have it all. But is this the exuberance of life we wish for?
At this point Alexander's Nancy lets the desires of her heart explode from her lips and the train moves onto the express track and doesn't stop until she achieves what she wants, sort of, by the play's end. Jane Alexander's delivery of the opening lines of conflict are spot-on humorous and ominous: "I think I want a divorce."
Ashley Park, Ben McKenzie in 'Grand Horizons,' by Bess Wohl, directed by Leigh Silverman (Joan Marcus)
The excitement of what Nancy envisions to be on her grand horizon for the future is in imagining its open-ended possibilities, even if it is merely sitting in a restaurant and enjoying a meal by herself. Clearly, she wants no more imprisonment by the chains of coupling. She wants to know her own power, strength and autonomy apart from defining herself as Bill's wife. As the play progresses, we discover she has already established her autonomy away from her family, though she has kept it secret. Interestingly, perhaps as a long awaited response, Bill is striking out on his own in this senior community by taking stand up comedy classes and enjoying a relationship with Carla (Priscilla Lopez). We learn later that this may be his response to what he has known all along of Nancy's secrets.
As these details are gradually revealed we enjoy watching the incredulous sons, Brian (the wonderfully funny Michael Urie) and Ben (Ben McKenzie is the harried lawyer control freak who can't relax). Both are shattered by the announcement of the divorce. Ironically, they don't want their parents to leave their comfortable "mom" and "dad" roles to be individuals, redefining who they want to be. They want stasis, not for their parents' happiness but for their own comfort and assurance. Brian's and Ben's perceptions of their parents living apart from each other are at odds with their parents' expectations. For Nancy and Bill divorce will be a positive experience. The sons cannot wrap their heads around this, especially that Nancy is planning to live in an Air Bnb. Their mom in an Air BnB: a horror!
(L to R): Priscella Lopez, Jane Alexander in 'Grand Horizons,' by Bess Wohl, directed by Leigh Silverman (Joan Marcus)
Wohl takes advantage of this set-up in a refreshing way. In an ironic reversal, with the help of Jess (Ashley Park) Ben's wife, Brian and Ben don the parental roles. They attempt to gauge what has recently happened, as they try to square away what mom and dad must do to resurrect the bloom on their long-dead marriage. Their failed attempts are humorous. Adroitly, the actors bounce off each of their characters' stress-filled emotions with peppery dynamism and wit.
Brian's neediness is easily identifiable throughout and is integral to his character as a theater teacher who creates 200 characters in The Crucible so "no kid will be left behind to feel left out." It is Brian who is so dislocated by his parents' future divorce, he worries about where he will spend Thanksgiving which is six months away. His sensitivity exceeds his parents' emotionalism. The dichotomy is hysterical, yet heartfelt.
Michael Urie in 'Grand Horizons,' by Bess Wohl, directed by Leigh Silverman (Joan Marcus)
Ben's eczema flares as he attempts to take control of where each of his parents will live. And then there is Jess providing the counseling so Nancy and Bill can return to their once affectionate times with each other. With Ben and Brian looking on with hope at Jess' powers, the results that follow are riotous. As their visit with Bill and Nancy to persuade them not to divorce lengthens, Jess begins to look at her relationship with Ben differently as he reverts to Bill and Nancy's son. Where has her husband gone or is this just hormones because she is pregnant?
The resistance of the younger generation to the divorce is a powerful obstacle which the parents find impossible to answer to their children's' satisfaction. It provides conflicts among the characters from which Wohl tweaks and teases thematic tropes. What are the phases and stages of our lives? How do we define them apart from cultural stereotypes and familiar roles that appear to offer comfort, but are actually binding and nullifying? What price do we pay to create our families and sacrifice for children with expectations that are unreasonable, or worse, false? From parenting to aging, no one can provide a guideline for what to do that will resonate completely with our individual lives. Every family, every person in that family is different. We fail, but perhaps it is worth it because we learn and if we are open to it, we heal.
Nancy's desire for a divorce sets the entire family roiling except for Bill, who appears to remain calm. Of course Wohl is always pushing the envelope to get the maximum surprise and intrigue from her characters, who remain interesting and intensely human.
James Cromwell, Jane Alexander in 'Grand Horizons,' by Bess Wohl, directed by Leigh Silverman (Joan Marcus)
The audience's gales of laughter organically spring from Nancy's revelations that she has pursued her desires and dreams despite the intrusions of raising her two sons and making a home for her husband Bill. Indeed, the mother they believed she was, is not who she presented herself to be. She had another love. And when she expresses the importance of her closeness and intimacy with this lover to Brian (Urie brings down the house with his responses to her sexual descriptions) in the hope of explaining why she is leaving Bill, he cannot cope with understanding that his mother is perhaps a woman first.
This is something many children have difficulty with unless the parents, with good will and flexibility, help them to understand love, sexuality and intimacy. Bill and Nancy never considered going into these discussions with Brian and Ben because they never went there with each other. It is a telling irony that catches up with all of them at this juncture.
Clearly, Nancy runs deep as does Bill, who is a cypher that Wohl reveals by the conclusion, when we learn that both Bill and Nancy have kept intimacies and secrets to themselves. Yet, they do love one another. The humor and pathos come when we note how difficult it is for Ben and Brian to understand their parent's particularities when they believed the packaged family meme that "togetherness is happiness." That meme when they admit it, satisfied none of them, least of all their parents.
All of this eventually tumbles out after Brian, Ben and Jess visit, stay and don't leave until Bill and Nancy politely tell them to go and reassure them that they are going to be all right. By the end of the play, Wohl opens the door to hope. Even if they live apart, maybe Bill and Nancy can begin to see each other outside of the roles that threatened to box them in "til death did them part."
Grand Horizons is a mixture of uproarious fun and thoughtful poignance. Shepherded by Leigh Silverman's vision the actors deliver, with sterling performances by Alexander and Cromwell and with high marks for McKenzie, Urie, Park and in secondary roles as Tommy (Maulik Pancholy) and Carla (Priscilla Lopez). Additional kudos to the creative team: Clint Ramos (scenic design) Linda Cho (costume design) Jen Schriever (lighting design) Palmer Hefferan (sound design) Bryce Cutler (production design).
Grand Horizons runs with one intermission at Second Stage Theater, The Helen Hayes Theater on 44th Street between 7th and 8th until March 1. For tickets and times to this LOL production CLICK HERE.

Q: Acess to node modules in Electron 5 Since Electron's recent version 5 have nodeIntegration default to false due to security reasons, which is the recommended way to access node modules? Is there a way to communicate with the main process without nodeIntegration?

A: Using preload script you can communicate with the main process, by importing only the ipcRenderer object to the window.
To do that you have to specify the preload script absolute path in the browserWindow webPreferences.

  mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
    width: 800,
    height: 600,
    webPreferences: {
      nodeIntegration: true,
      preload : path.join(__dirname , '/preload_script.js')
    }
  })

and in preload_script.js inject the ipcRenderer object
window.ipcRenderer = require('electron').ipcRenderer;

you can use the window.ipcRenderer object in the html script for communication with main process/ or with another renderer process.


have had several models of Acer monitors, both home and professional, and it is hard to beat Acer's price to quality ratio.
I've been happy using Acer monitors for some time. Very good brand and great prices. This model has become the defacto model from CDW. No complaints from any of the employees who use them.

First and most importantly, once completed and approved, a Neighbourhood Development Plan is a legally binding document. This document is then applicable to the developments that occur in Ledbury during the specified time period. It gives us the opportunity to influence design, structure and impact of the changes that either are going to happen, or could potential occur in as far as 10 years time.
The above diagram demonstrates where the Neighbourhood Development Plan sits in the planning policy hierarchy. The NDP would form the third tier of planning policy after the National Planning Policy Framework and the Herefordshire Core Strategy. Planning applications in Ledbury would have to comply with all three documents.
Now as you can see from the diagram the Neighbourhood Development Plan is the third stage in planning and development. All plans across the country must abide by the rules and guidelines of the National Framework. Then to help narrow geographical, the Ledbury's Neighbourhood Plan must conform with the strategic policies set out in the development plan for the local area, which in our case is the Herefordshire Core Strategy.
What does it mean for Ledbury?
The Ledbury Neighbourhood Plan will be influential on current developments in progress and decision made for the future.
What percentage of the properties should be social housing, flats, retirement homes?
How many 1,2 or 5 bedroom houses should be included?
How will the new houses be connected to the town?
How can the buildings and layout be designed to reflect the natural landscape?
Town Council will be a formal consultee on any subsequent planning application. The proposed Neighbourhood Development Plan design code will, once approved be a formal document that will be a material consideration for all new development, whether it be commercial, residential, or sport and leisure.

Since the 1980s, investigators have tried to enhance vascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy of deep structures by positioning MRI receiver coils (antennae) inside the body, closer to the tissue of interest (1,2). Unfortunately, intravascular MRI has been largely disappointing because of relatively poor sensitivity profiles of the small catheter antennae and because of motion artifacts. In this issue of iJACC, the team headed by Paul Bottomley at Johns Hopkins University has elegantly engineered a combination of advances to address some of these limitations (3). They report an "endoscopic" imaging probe that in many ways resembles intravascular ultrasound, achieving a field of view of about a centimeter, a spatial resolution <100 μm, and a frame rate of 2/s or more. The result should prove useful in assessing small structures and atheromata, and in performing MRI-guided interventional procedures.
To appreciate Bottomley's advance requires an appreciation of the challenge. Proton magnetic resonance creates terrific images from minute radio signals. Magnetic resonance images are not acquired directly as a photograph or X-ray pixel matrix, but instead as a frequency spectrum resembling an audio equalizer display. Higher-resolution pictures require sampling a wider range of spatial frequencies, which is time consuming. Unfortunately, motion during these slow acquisitions blurs the pictures. Moreover, imaging small things like blood vessels inside a large body in MRI is especially difficult because the Fourier technique requires taking time to image the entire body and not just the small region of interest. Attempts to speed up this process by reducing the amount of information gathered ("undersampling") suffer from ambiguous encoding of position on spins ("foldover artifact"). Obvious noninvasive approaches to suppress foldover artifact for this high-resolution application—such as blackening ("saturating") structures outside the region of interest, or selectively exciting only the "inner volume" of interest (4)—have been disappointing in moving structures inside the torso.
Intravascular MRI probes can act like a flashlight to detect only nearby tissues. Bottomley's team had noticed earlier (5) that the field of view for intravascular catheters is exponentially larger at 3.0-T than at 1.5-T, in a millimeter-to-centimeter range that is convenient for his application of atherosclerosis imaging. What makes this work compelling is the combination of four critical elements. First, they designed a custom MRI catheter probe that can image a relatively thin "sensitive disk" analogous to the field of view of intravascular ultrasound. To reduce the possibility of heating (a real consideration during rapid imaging at 3.0-T using conductive MRI catheters), they operate their MRI catheter probe in "transmit and receive mode." This allows the radio power used to excite proton spins to be reduced, from the kilowatt range used in standard body-coil excitation, to a subwatt range less likely to heat bystander tissues. Second, from this catheter, they deliver a special adiabatic radiofrequency excitation-pulse waveform that creates a uniform, localized region of excitation. Third, they exploit the narrow sensitivity profile of their local MRI catheter probe to reduce the amount of information (number of phase encodes), and therefore the time needed, to create rapid high-resolution images in that narrow field of view. This realizes the promise of noninvasive alternatives to reduce foldover artifact described in the previous text, and may reduce the motion disturbance that has limited previous attempts at local intravascular MRI. Fourth, they integrate simple image control and post-processing steps to create a realistic workflow: intermittent "snap-to" determinations of the position of the moving catheter to ensure the MRI gradients are properly angled for good imaging; cross-correlation of the images to create pictures from the probe point-of-view (which physicians expect); and correction for extra brightness of spins closest to the probe. As they show in vitro, in situ, and in vivo, the resulting pictures are marvelous and fast.
However, 3.0-T has disadvantages compared with lower-field systems. Balanced steady-state-free-precession (SSFP) MRI, the workhorse pulse sequence for interventional MRI, remains poor at 3.0-T compared with 1.5-T. This usually forces 3.0-T interventionists to operate real-time MRI using less-efficient gradient echo techniques that reduce the signal-to-noise ratio benefit of 3.0-T, yet still suffer from the increased specific absorption rate (SAR) and heating at 3.0-T. The conductive MRI catheter probe remains specifically vulnerable to heating during MRI (of the rest of the body) using the body-coil for excitation (2), but here, too, Bottomley has recently reported a promising new "billabong" shield approach (6) to mitigate heating.
Much work remains to miniaturize the reported intravascular MRI probe from the 9-F prototype here, and to optimize MRI scanner protocols that provide high-resolution MRI "endoscopy" images in anatomic context and as part of a clinically relevant workflow. Unfortunately, the coil sensitivity can be expected to degrade with miniaturization.
With the reported tool in hand, one could envision enhanced standalone or contrast-enhanced imaging of atherosclerosis, or lesion planning and assessment during wholly MRI-guided interventional procedures. However, the chief limitation to interventional cardiovascular MRI remains the commercial unavailability of safe and conspicuous MRI catheter devices. We hope this fascinating report brings us one step closer.
This work was supported by the Division of Intramural Research, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, National Institutes of Health (1ZIAHL005062). NHLBI and Siemens have a Collaborative Research and Development Agreement that includes technical development for interventional cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging.

Q: Can access remote json component through browser, but not programmatically through $.getJSON() I've been battling for 3 days trying to solve this and have 'google overload' - would love some help please.
We have a Jenkins build server located on http://jenkinsBuild.mycompany.com:8080 so if I enter this url into a browser...
http://jenkinsBuild.mycompany.com:8080/view/my_view/job/build_me/123/api/json?tree=result
... the browser page returns displaying...
{"result":"SUCCESS"}
Now, according to the Jenkins Wiki, "Jenkins provides machine-consumable remote access API to its functionalities" supporting json and jsonp through a REST API, which I believe should circumvent any same origin policy issues.
I am attempting (using the latest Chrome browser) to get that same json component {"result":"SUCCESS"}.
I am using HTML/javascript with a $.getJSON() call as described below. The HTML file currently resides on my local machine, but will probably eventually live on a wiki. Console outputs for the three urls are listed after the code.
How do I get the same json result I get by entering the url directly into the browser? Thanks for your help.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">

<button>Get Jenkins</button>

CONSOLE OUTPUT FOR THE THREE URL's...

url1 -> XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://jenkinsBuild.mycompany.com:8080/view/my_view/job/build_me/123/api/json?tree=result. Origin null is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.
url2 -> Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token : json:1
url3 -> Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token : json:1

A: Updated:
Url1 is not a valid jsonp call because it's not specifying a callback.  Not sure why url2 and url3 are failing.
Here's another way try manually specify the callback function name:
var url2 = "http://jenkinsBuild.mycompany.com:8080/view/my_view/job/build_me/123/api/json?tree=result&callback=my_local_javascript_function";

where my_local_javascript_function is a function in the javascript code on the calling browser.  What will happen is that the server will respond with a script that looks something like this:
my_local_javascript_function({ //json object in here });

That function needs to be available on your local browser, and then it will be run.  Please see here for more info on JSONP: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSONP

A: ajax calls follow the same origin policy, so both documents need to be on the same domain - not your case as the page that makes the call is on your local machine.


Huntington, NY – November 24, 2014 – Catalyst Funds, an alternative-focused mutual fund company, today announced the launch of the Catalyst/Stone Beach Income Opportunity Fund (IOXAX). The Fund is a conversion of the Stone Beach Special Opportunity Fund, LLC, a hedge fund. Now available as a mutual fund product, the Fund utilizes the same strategy as its hedge fund predecessor and is Catalyst's third conversion of this kind.
IOXAX seeks to generate high current income and superior returns over time while actively hedging to minimize declines during adverse market conditions. The Fund focuses on delivering monthly dividend income derived from investments in mortgage-backed securities (MBS), including U.S. agency and non-agency residential MBS, commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and other related instruments. Investments may include pass through and structured securities, such as fixed, floating and inverse floating rate collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) as well as interest-only and principal-only MBS. The Fund, which will be managed by David Lysenko and Ed Smith, employs an actively managed hedged strategy to limit declines in the net asset value of the portfolio in adverse market conditions.
For more information about Catalyst Funds and its various product offerings, please visit: www.catalystmf.com.
Catalyst Funds currently offers 23 distinctive funds that provide various strategies with the goal of producing income- and equity-oriented returns while seeking to control risk and volatility. Catalyst offers these exclusive strategies through a team of in-house portfolio managers and boutique institutional investment management partners. The firm strives to provide innovative strategies to support financial advisors and their clients in meeting the investment challenges of an ever changing global market environment.
Investing in the Fund carries certain risks. The value of the Fund may decrease in response to the activities and financial prospects of an individual security in the Fund's portfolio. The Fund is non-diversified and may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issue and may own fewer securities than other mutual funds. The performance of the Fund may be subject to substantial short-term changes. If a security sold short increases in price, the Fund may have to cover its short position at a higher price than the short sale price, resulting in a loss. There may be risks associated with the sale and purchase of call and put options. The Fund's short term option writing can carry additional trading risks in that unexpected market movements can have a leveraged effect on option prices thus causing greater risks to the option seller. The Fund's use of stock futures involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities.
The Fund may invest, directly or indirectly, in "junk bonds." Such securities are speculative investments that carry greater risks than higher quality debt securities. Investments in lesser- known, small and mid -capitalization companies may be more vulnerable than larger, more established organizations. These factors may affect the value of your investment. To obtain the most recent month-end performance data or the Fund's current prospectus, please call the fund at (866)447-4228.
Huntington, NY – November 11, 2014 – Catalyst Funds, an alternative-focused mutual fund company, today announced the launch of two new funds, adding to the variety of liquid alternative and alternative income strategies offered by the company.

Twitter's reverse-chronological feed has finally landed on Android
By Harry Domanski 2019-01-16T00:34:11Z
Twitter now keeps all its ducks in a row
Last month, Twitter updated its iOS app to bring back the reverse-chronological feed and, at the time, it promised that the same feature would soon be arriving on Android.
That promise has been kept and Android users can now access this feature, something that was the norm three years ago. This means Android users can opt to see tweets that were posted most recently right up top on the Home timeline.
Since the overhaul in 2016, Twitter's feed employed algorithmic sorting that listed tweets (older or recent) that were deemed significant or trending first. The rest followed in the "in case you missed it" section.
Android, we got you. Starting today, tap ✨ to switch between latest and top Tweets. pic.twitter.com/7rXo3BNEJ6January 15, 2019
This newly-introduced mode – accessed via toggling the 'sparkle' button at the top of a user's Home timeline in the app – ensures that all tweets shown are in chronological order, with the latest ones on top, and aren't algorithmically suggested.
While it may not seem all-too significant, the initial change to Twitter's 'smart' feed was met with widespread backlash, spawning the hashtag #RIPTwitter.
Commentators and avid users alike noted that the main appeal of Twitter is to be able to reliably keep up to the minute with breaking and unfolding news, and the algorithm hindered this.
Now with both Android and iOS apps able to switch to the original mode, is Twitter in the clear?
