Spring Awakenings: Love Loss and Chianti @Riverside London
Death and desertion are on the menu in Love Loss and Chianti. A dramatisation of the poems A Scattering and The Song of Lunch by Christopher Reid. Grief and fantasy are explored at first for drama and then for comedy. It's not always successful in the translation from poetry to stage. But watchable for the performances and staging at the Riverside Studios.
The first half, A Scattering, was Reid's response to the death of his wife, Lucinda. Told in four parts, with the first part written while she was still alive, the poems won the Cost Book Prize in 2010. But on stage, it feels cold and unengaging. Perhaps there are too many distractions with events as the stages of dying, death and loss are explored. It might have been more engrossing if he just sat on a chair and told to the audience.
Fortunately, things pick up in the Song of Lunch in the second half, which is centred around a man's attempt to connect with an old flame over lunch. Memories conspire to build a fantasy that bears little resemblance to the reality. The anticipation, the missed cues and the misunderstandings are deployed to witty effect as the lunch veers from one disaster to another. The projected animations by Charles Peattie portray a dizzying array of complexities as the man becomes lost in himself. And the lunch becomes a battle of epic proportions between the mind and reality.
As the man, Robert Bathurst, who is on stage for most of the ninety minutes is engaging as both the grieving man and the fantasist has-been. Rebecca Johnson plays his dying wife and the increasingly disgusted object of his luncheon obsession.
Directed by Jason Morell, Love Loss and Chianti is at the Riverside Studios until 17 May. Worth a visit to take in the magnificent views of Hammersmith by the riverside.

Cassie Cooper was a practising Kleinian trained psychoanalytic Psychotherapist/ Counselling Psychologist who practiced Attachment Based Psychotherapy.
Cassie's writing career encompassed two main themes, both of equal importance. After a first degree in psychology and philosophy, her early years were as an employee of the ancient and prestigious Hebrew academic publishing house Soncino Press (London) during which she contributed to the publication of the revised edition of The Soncino Babylonian Talmud, and other seminal academic volumes on biblical subjects including Jewish History, religion, poetry, philosophy, mysticism, The Zohar and The Faith of Judiaism.
After marriage and the birth of two children, Judi and Jonathan, Cassie returned to university to obtain further degrees and a doctorate in psychology, psychoanalytic psychotherapy and counselling. In these fields she is well known and has published widely, contributing chapters in sixteen educational textbooks, specialising in the works of Melanie Klein and Dr John Bowlby (who was her personal supervisor). She is a founding member and Fellow of BACP and was an active member of UKCP until very recently.
Additionally she has contributed to fourteen textbooks on psychology, psychotherapy and counselling, some of which have been translated into Italian and German.
She was formerly a chairperson of The Psychotherapy Section of the British Psychological Society, and Editor of its newsletter for many years. Cassie was head of Student Counselling at the University of Westminster (Harrow Campus) and head of its Diploma in Counselling Courses.
She relocated to Truro, Cornwall in 2011 and continued to work there. Cassie acted as a consultant to Carlton TV and The Metropolitan Police on counselling issues. Her recent Doctorate was on Cult Membership as a Disorder of Attachment.
Cassie died very peacefully on Saturday 29th July with her family around her.

This dossier presents a range of statistics and facts about the pharmaceutical industry in the United Kingdom. The pharmaceutical industry is constantly expanding in the UK by delivering a significant contribution to the UK economy and to society as a whole. Pharmaceuticals are one of the UK's most successful research-based industries which has a direct effect on the employment rate in the UK. Over the past decade, the sector has generated a growing trade surplus.


It is becoming increasingly common for depositions to be videotaped as well as recorded by a stenographer. Is the added expense justified? As with everything else, it depends.
1. The witness will be unavailable during trial. This is by far the most common reason to videotape a deposition. Whether the witness is going to be out of the country, is an expert busy with other commitments, or is in poor health, the impact of their testimony will be much greater if the jury can watch a videotape rather than listen to a reading of the transcript. Being able to see and hear how the testimony is presented gives jurors a lot more information than just the written word. Demeanor, speech patterns, physical appearance, and the flow of questions and answers all affect credibility and increase the likelihood that the jury will retain what they heard.
The downside, of course, is that you must live with the testimony as recorded. If something new comes up during trial, you will not be able to expand your questions to include new material.
It is also important to be mindful that attention spans are diminishing every day. Yes, a video is more compelling than testimony read aloud from a transcript, but a videotaped deposition can quickly put a jury to sleep if it is too long. Time spent editing is well worth it. Present the testimony that matters.
2. Impeachment of a witness. You can impeach a witness with a transcript, but a video clip is much more powerful. If you sync the transcript with the video, it is easy to locate relevant testimony quickly and create a video clip that can be used immediately.
3. The calming effect on all participants in a deposition. If you are involved in a highly contentious case, recording the deposition may have a calming effect on everyone in the room. People are less likely to act out if their words and actions can be replayed down the road. On occasion we have been asked to run two video cameras, one focused on the witness and one focused on opposing counsel, for this very reason — and it works! Generally there will be fewer objections and other interruptions if a deposition is videotaped.
4. Trial preparation. If you have people on your team who aren't able to attend the deposition, reviewing a videotape of the testimony will be more productive than just reviewing the transcript. Send it to experts, show it to paralegals and co-counsel. They will have a better understanding of the testimony and how it will be perceived by the jury.
If you plan to work with a mock jury, have them react to videotaped testimony rather than someone acting the part and reading from a transcript. They can evaluate the witness's body language and temperament. In some cases, you may decide reading from the transcript is preferable to showing the videotape because of odd mannerisms or a difficult speech pattern.
5. Get more from the witness. Sometimes depositions are held in relatively casual settings which can make a witness feel like the deposition is just a glorified interview. Having the deposition videotaped can create a greater sense of importance and impress the deponent with the seriousness of the occasion. This may result in more complete and candid answers.
These are 5 reasons to hire a videographer in addition to a court reporter for your deposition. In a future article, we'll discuss ways to get the most out of your videotaped depositions.

Formaldehyde is classified as a carcinogen.  However, presently, it is widely used for many scientific purposes, especially for medical work in hospitals. In hospitals, formaldehyde is widely used in pathology, forensics, and anatomy. An important concern is not only its contamination in the setting of hospital rooms but also in wastes of the hospitals. Indeed, the health hazard due to wastes of hospitals is a serious consideration at present.  Formaldehyde is a common contaminant in the waste water of hospitals. , Cancer risk due to exposure to formaldehyde in the form of wastes from hospitals has never been mentioned, and this is an actual interesting topic. Here, the authors try to estimate the risk of cancer due to exposure to the level of formaldehyde in the waste water of hospitals. In this report, the setting is a large hospital in Thailand. Here, the calculation for the predicted cancer incidence due to exposure to formaldehyde in waste water was performed. The individual lifetime cancer risk was estimated by standard calculation, according to the formula "individual lifetime cancer risk = concentration of formaldehyde in waste water of hospital × lifetime unit risk factor." The unit risk factor for formaldehyde is equal to 1.3 × 10 -5 m 3 /μg (http://www.daq.state.nc.us/toxics/risk/) (Updated on 30 th March 2015) and the reported concentration of formaldehyde in waste water in the studied setting is equal to 3500 g/30 L (1.16 × 10 8 ppb) or 1.44 10 8 μg/m 3 (conversion factor: 1 ppb = 1.24 μg/m 3 at 25°C) (the data collected from http://www1.si.mahidol.ac.th/km/sites/default/files/2552_159.pdf) (Updated on 30 th March 2015). Hence, the calculated individual lifetime cancer risk is 1.87 × 10 3 . Based on the derived data, it means that contact with formaldehyde in the waste water of hospitals can induce cancer in anyone who is exposed to it. Without good control measure, this can be a big hazard to the communities living near the hospital.

All deliveries from arssedia to consumers shall be realised on the basis of the following general terms and conditions of business and delivery. These form the basis of all offers and agreements between arssedia and the customer and shall be regarded as recognised for the duration of the complete business relationship. Conflicting or deviating terms and conditions of the buyer are only binding if they are acknowledged in writing by arssedia.
A consumer pursuant to these general terms and conditions of business and delivery is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for a purpose which can neither be attributed to his/her commercial nor independent professional activities. An entrepreneur pursuant to these general terms and conditions of business and delivery is a natural or legal person or legal entity or partnership with legal capacity which enters into a legal transaction for a purpose which can be attributed to its commercial or independent professional activities, and authorities.
Clients or customers pursuant to these general terms and conditions of business and delivery are both consumers and entrepreneurs.
1. The "offers" contained on the website represent a non-binding request for the customer to order from arssedia.

The following languages are currently available for the ordering process: German, English, French. arssedia thereupon sends the customer an order confirmation by e-mail.
The order confirmation does not represent an acceptance of the offer, but is only intended to inform the customer that his/her order has been received at arssedia.
The contract is only concluded if arssedia dispatches the ordered product to the customer and shipment to the customer is confirmed with a second e-mail (shipping confirmation).
2. With regard to 2 (3), arssedia as a platform provider is unable to check all printed motifs designed by customers or shop operators in advance for any infringements of rights. arssedia reserves the right to reject submitted orders within the legal acceptance period if it becomes evident during the ordering process or a suspicion is aroused that the rights of third parties or legal regulations are infringed by a printed motif.
4. Conclusion of contract shall be subject to timely and complete self-delivery. This reservation shall not apply in the event of brief delivery interruptions or if arssedia is responsible for non-delivery, particularly where arssedia has neglected to concluded a congruent coverage transaction in good time. The customer shall be informed immediately of the non-availability of the service. Where the return service has been performed by the customer, this shall be reimbursed.
All orders shall be executed exclusively on the basis of the printed data delivered or transmitted by the customer, provided nothing to the contrary has been agreed in writing. Data shall be delivered in the file formats stipulated on the www.arssedia.de website. Correct performance cannot be guaranteed for deviating file formats. Colour deviations between the digital image and later print on the furniture are possible.
1. The customer bears complete responsibility for the completeness and correctness of the data provided.

Texts must be converted into paths, or the font type should be delivered with approval.
2. We are not under any obligation to inspect realised deliveries of any kind (including data storage media and transmitted data) supplied by the customer or a third party engaged by the customer. In the case of data transmissions, the customer shall employ in all cases security programs for computer viruses meeting the latest technical standards prior to transmission. Data backup is solely incumbent upon the customer. We are entitled to create copies. Any liability of data storage media is excluded.
3. Only copies of electronic files should be delivered. Arssedia bears no liability for the loss of or damage to the data, samples, drafts, etc. provided. The data shall be deleted following termination of the order.
1. The delivery deadline is stipulated in delivery weeks.
3. Delivery and performance deadlines and periods which can become the subject of a binding or non-binding agreement shall be indicated in writing. Delivery and performance periods commence on conclusion of contract. Where subsequent contractual amendments are agreed, a new delivery and performance deadline or a new delivery and performance period shall be simultaneously agreed.
4. Delivery shall be realised by a shipping provider to be selected by arssedia. The customer shall bear a flat-rate postal charge which can depend on the order value and the location to which delivery is to be realised. Current shipping prices can be viewed at www.arssedia.de.
5. The customer can withdraw from the contract or give notice of the premature termination of a contract due to delay of delivery or performance if an agreed and binding delivery or performance deadline is exceeded by more than four weeks and an appropriate extension period in terms of the type, scope and degree of difficulty, etc. of this delivery or performance which is set has elapsed without success. The extension period shall be at least two weeks.
6. Force majeure and other unforeseeable and extraordinary events and circumstances which are nobody's fault, such as material procurement difficulties, disruptions to operations, strikes, lockouts, etc. extend the delivery and performance deadline by the duration of the obstruction, even if they are experienced by a sub-contractor. arssedia shall be released from its delivery and performance obligation if the circumstances mentioned make delivery and/or performance impossible or unreasonable. In the event of the delivery and performance deadline being extended or arssedia being released from its delivery and performance obligation, the customer cannot derive any claims for compensation from this. arssedia shall notify the customer immediately of any delays which occur.
1. The place of performance is the registered office of the company.
2. Delivery is made to the shipping address stipulated by the customer. An agreement deviating from this requires our written approval.
3. Shipping costs are satisfied by the shipping flat rate levied.
4. As soon as the merchandise is handed over to a freight forwarder, carrier or the post office, or at the latest when they leave our company premises, the customer shall bear the risk for the goods. Transfer of risk to the customer also applies to prepaid deliveries or deliveries free domicile.
5. Any shipment which exhibits outward damage should only be accepted by the customer if the damage is established and documented by the shipper/carrier. Insofar as this is not done, it will invalidate all claims for damages made against us.
1. Prices indicated are final for customers from EU states. They include statutory taxes, particularly value added taxes. Shipping costs are invoiced separately and indicated separately on the invoice. The shipping address is decisive.
2. Prices indicated are net prices for customers outside the EU. The shipping address is decisive.

Moreover, import duties may be incurred which the customer shall pay additionally upon receipt of the goods.
3. Shipping costs shall be borne by the customer which may be dependent on the order value and the location to which delivery is to be realised. Current shipping prices can be viewed at www.arssedia.de.
4. Payment of the purchase price and shipping costs is due immediately without deduction.
1. Payment shall be made by direct debit (SEPA basic mandate), advance payment or other payment methods (PayPal), depending on the customer's choice. arssedia reserves the right to limit the choices of payment methods between which a customer can choose, depending on order value, shipment region or other objective criteria. In the case of payment by direct debit (SEPA basic mandate), arssedia shall forward pre-notification to the customer after the order is realised in the context of the order confirmation (see 3 (2)). Collection of a direct debit payment is realised in the case of account-holding banks in Germany, Austria and Spain 1 day at the earliest after dispatch of pre-notification and 5 days at the earliest after dispatch of pre-notification for account-holding banks in other countries.
2. If, despite contractually agreed realisation on the part of arssedia, the customer's chosen method of payment is not feasible, particularly because a debiting of the customer's account is impossible due to lack of funds or provision of incorrect information, the customer shall reimburse arssedia or the third party authorised by arssedia with handling for the resulting additional costs.
a) In case of default of payment on the part of the customer, arssedia may cede its claims to a debt collection agency and transfer the personal data required to process payments to this third party.
b) In the case of intervention of third parties in the payment process, the payment in relation to arssedia is only regarded as settled if the amount has been provided to the third party in accordance with the contract in a manner that gives the third party unlimited disposal over it.
1. The goods remain the property of arssedia until settlement of the receivables due to arssedia. If the customer is a merchant as defined in the Commercial Code, arssedia retains the title to all items delivered until receipt of all payments from the business relationship.
2. The customer is obliged to treat the goods with care until the transfer of ownership to him/her.
1. Information, drawings, illustrations, technical data, weight, measurement and performance specifications which are contained in brochures, catalogues, circulars, advertisements or price lists are provided for information purposes only. arssedia assumes no responsibility for the accuracy of this information. With regard to the nature and scope of delivery, only the information contained in the order confirmation is decisive.
2. Insofar as a defect covered by the warranty exists, the customer is entitled to demand supplementary performance under statutory regulations, to withdraw from the contract or to reduce the purchase price.
3. In the case of return shipments due to defects, arssedia shall also assume the postal costs.
4. Data communication via the internet cannot be guaranteed to be error free and/or available at all times, given the current state of technology. arssedia therefore assumes no liability for the constant and uninterrupted availability of the online service.
5. Claims of the customer emanating from the warranty assume that the customer, insofar as he/she is a merchant, complies with his/her obligations under Sec. 377 HGB (German Commercial Code) regarding inspection and complaint.
6. The limitation period of warranty claims for goods delivered is two years from receipt of the goods. The limitation period is one year if the customer is an entrepreneur.
1. The liability of arssedia is otherwise governed by statutory provisions, provided no other provisions are specified in these general terms and conditions of business and delivery. arssedia only bears unlimited responsibility for damages in the case of wilful intent and gross negligence, regardless of the legal reasons. Moreover, arssedia only bears unlimited liability in the case of minor negligence for damages resulting from injury to life, limb or health. In the case of minor negligence and the breach of an essential contractual obligation (cardinal obligation), the liability of arssedia is limited to compensation for foreseeable, typically occurring damage. Liability under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected by the above provisions.
2. Insofar as the liability of arssedia is excluded or limited in these general terms and conditions of business and delivery, this also applies to the personal liability for damages of employees, workers, personnel, representatives and agents of arssedia.
As a consumer (Sec. 13 BGB (German Civil Code)), you may withdraw your contractual declaration within two weeks in writing (e.g. letter, fax, e-mail) without giving any reasons or by returning the goods. The period begins with receipt of this instruction. The sending of the revocation or goods on time is sufficient for compliance with the revocation period. In contrast, a right of revocation does not exist in the case of contracts for the supply of goods which are not prefabricated, where an individual choice or decision by the consumer is decisive for their production or which are clearly tailored to meet the personal needs of the consumer.
In the case of an effective revocation, mutually received services are to be returned and any profits derived (e.g. interest) surrendered. Where you are unable to reimburse us either in total or partially for services received, or only in a deteriorated state, you are required to offer compensation of an equal value where appropriate. This does not apply in the case of the surrender of goods if the deterioration of the merchandise is traced back exclusively to its inspection in a manner which would be possible in a shop. Moreover, you can avoid the obligation to offer compensation of an equal value if you do not use the merchandise like your property and refrain from any actions which could impair its value. Items suitable for shipping should be returned. You should collect items not suitable for shipping in parcels. You shall bear the cost of returning the goods if the delivered goods correspond to those ordered and if the price of the merchandise to be returned does not exceed an amount of 150 euro or if, in the case of a higher price, you have not yet performed the return service or realised a contractually agreed partial payment at the time of revocation. Otherwise, the return delivery is free for you. Obligations to reimburse payments must be met within 30 days after sending your declaration of revocation.
Your revocation right expires prematurely if your contractual partner has begun to provide the service with your express consent before the end of the revocation period or you have initiated this yourself (e.g. through a download, etc.).
1. If the customer submits his/her own motif or otherwise influences the product (personalization of text), the customer shall assure arssedia that the text and motif are free of the rights of third parties. Any copyrights, personal rights or naming rights are borne completely by the customer in this case. The customer shall also offer an assurance that no other rights of third parties are infringed through the individualisation of the product.
2. The customer shall indemnify arssedia from all demands and claims which are made due to the infringement of such third party rights, provided the customer is responsible for the breach of obligation. The customer shall reimburse arssedia for all defence costs and other damages.
We expressly reserve the right in performance of the contract to deviate from the descriptions and information in our brochures, catalogues and other written and electronic documents regarding material quality, colour, weight, dimensions, design or similar features, provided that this is reasonable for the customer.
Reasonable cause for change may result from fluctuations customary in trade and technical production processes.
arssedia processes personal data of the customer for appropriate purposes and according to statutory provisions. Personal information specified for the purpose of ordering goods (e.g. name, e-mail address, address, payment data) is used by arssedia to fulfil and process the contract. This data is treated confidentially by arssedia and not passed on to third parties not involved in the ordering, delivery and payment procedures. The customer has the right to request receipt of free information about the personal data that arssedia has saved about him/her. In addition, he/she has the right to have inaccurate data corrected and to block and delete his/her personal data, insofar as there is no legal obligation to retain this data.
1. Place of performance for all deliveries is the registered office of arssedia in Leipzig.
2. Leipzig is the place of jurisdiction, insofar as the customer is a merchant according to the Commercial Code, a legal entity under public law or a special asset under public law. arssedia shall also be entitled in this case to sue the customer at its local court at arssedia's discretion. The same applies where the customer has no general place of jurisdiction in Germany, has moved his/her place of domicile or habitual residence abroad or if his/her domicile or habitual residence is unknown when legal action is taken.
3. The contract according to these general terms and conditions of business and delivery is governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. The validity of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is excluded. If the customer is a consumer pursuant to Sec. 13 BGB and has his/her habitual residence abroad, mandatory provisions of this state remain unaffected.
4. Should any of these general terms and conditions of business and delivery be ineffective or contradict legal regulations, this shall not affect the remainder of the contract.

TRUMP: I will 'probably' sue because Ted Cruz cheated in Iowa
Pamela Engel
After accusing Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) of "illegally" stealing a win from the Iowa caucuses, Donald Trump said Wednesday that he'll "probably" sue over the results of the vote.
Trump said this in an interview on Boston Herald Radio, that was flagged by BuzzFeed.
When asked if he would file a formal complaint over the caucuses' results, Trump replied, "probably."
"What [Cruz] did is unthinkable," Trump said, later stating that Cruz was a "really fraudulent" character.
Earlier in the day, Trump fired off a raging tweetstorm accusing Cruz of cheating in Iowa. Trump even suggested the Republican Party take the unprecedented step of holding a do-over election in Iowa or nullifying Cruz's results.
Trump's claims of fraud center around the actions of Cruz allies on the night of Monday's Iowa caucuses.
A third Republican candidate, Ben Carson, had reportedly signalled that he was going to speak early that night in order to fly home to Florida and rest. This was a somewhat unusual declaration as most candidates were planning to rush to the next primary states.
Some Cruz supporters quickly speculated that Carson was about to leave the race. Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), a prominent Cruz surrogate, wrote on Twitter: "Carson looks like he is out. Iowans need to know before they vote. Most will go to Cruz, I hope."
Cruz later apologised to Carson and said his team should have circulated Carson's statement denying the rumours.
The Texas senator ultimately won the caucuses despite the fact that Trump had been leading polls for weeks before the voting started. In his Wednesday interview with Boston Herald Radio, posted by BuzzFeed, Trump blamed his loss on Cruz picking up voters who thought Carson had dropped out.
"It's a total voter fraud when you think of it and he picked up a lot of those votes and that's why the polls were so wrong, because of that," Trump said. "I couldn't understand why the polls were wrong."
Trump also called Cruz a "nasty guy" and said "nobody likes him," noting that his colleagues in the Senate have not endorsed him for president.
Here's the full audio of the interview:

Metropolis (1927) restored version + subtitles
English, Spanish, French, Greek, hebrew, portuguese, italian, polish, turkish, serbian, slovenian, romanian, chech, dutch,
The New Pollutants Metropolis Rescore is a new soundtrack to the 2010 Restoration Version of Fritz Lang's classic sci-fi epic Metropolis
The New Pollutants https://facebook.com/thenewpollutants are the musical duo of Mister Benjamin Speed http://benjaminspeed.com and DJ TR!P http://facebook.com/finddjtrip. They are thrilled to present their newly composed score to Fritz Lang's classic silent film Metropolis. They perform the score live, accompanied by vocalist Astrid Pill & cellist Zoe Barry.
The original score was conceived, composed & recorded over a 12-month period & had its world premiere at the 2005 Adelaide Film Festival. The Metropolis Re-Score ran a successful season as part Next Wave Festival at ACMI in Melbourne for the Commonwealth Games & was performed at the Revelation Perth International Film Festival in 2006. They played it at the Sydney Opera House in 2010 & in Hobart for Mona Foma 2011, which is curated by Brian Ritchie of the Violent Femmes.
In 2011, The New Pollutants have updated & extended their score to coincide with the newly released 2010 restoration, which includes 30 minutes of newly found footage. This will once again premiere at the Adelaide Film Festival in 2011. After the film premiere in 1927, Metropolis has been seen only in shortened or truncated versions, now it can be appreciated in its full glory, with a brand new score by The New Pollutants.
The New Pollutants Presents: Fritz Lang's Metropolis, An Original Rescore
"Seductive performance….Metropolis was a once in a lifetime experience… Speed and Hopprich's score was a gift."
(Adelaide Advertiser)
"Metropolis was outstanding. A tremendous performance at MOFO 2011. The people loved it. I have always loved that movie, but their score made it more exciting."
(Brian Ritchie – Curator Mona Foma, Violent Femmes)
"I don't think you'll ever get a chance to see Metropolis quite this way again… it was literally breathtaking."
(Empire Times)
"There is no doubt that this is a truly wonderful new score, which deserves to be seen as widely as possible."
(Katrina Sedgwick, Director, Adelaide Film Festival)
"Integrated skillfully, extremely memorable"
(DB Magazine)
"The New Pollutants match, and in many ways surpass the genius of Lang's vision, by making it vibrant, topical & alive."

Motivational Speech Titled: SLOW DOWN. Speaker: Mr. William Garcia
Slow Down is about modern day life, its distractions, speed and addictions and a way to take control by simply making a choice to pay attention to being as we are and as everything is without judgment. William has also originated a concept called "Arttextry". Arttextry is the marriage between 'art' and 'text'(thought); the relation and reflection of one with the other.
Our high quality, full color Arttextry posters are produced in a Heildelberg Showcase facility with Heildelberg 5 and 6 speed masters with in-line UV coating and state-of-the-art direct-to-plate systems presses.
Hung on a wall in your room, living area or office, Arttextry posters may be proudly displayed as they serve as a daily source of positive inspiration.
The 'art', tastefully done be very talented local artists here in Miami, will draw you near to read. The 'text',quotes from the recently published self-help book entitled Now O' Clock and authored by William Garcia, will inspire you to "Think", to "Be" or to "Do".
About my book Now O' Clock; The title of the book "Now O' Clock" simply reaffirms what each and every one of us experience every living moment of our lives—the present. Now O' Clock is an inspirational self-help book that takes my readers on a journey from now in 'time' and towards their own and last inevitable 'now,' sometime into the future. It is about "Time" as being the pure essence of life and about life as being a "Doing" proposition. There is our relationship with "Time" and "Modernity",—modernity being a driving force that mostly serves as a big distraction from doing "now-to-life". We really need to slow down.
There seems to be no time for 'now,' when 'now' is actually all there is and all we have. The idea of tomorrow is only an expectation of an imaginary 'time' to come. "Now" is as real and as fleeting as it gets. We need to realize that we do not run out of 'time', we simply run out of 'life'. And then, there is life's most powerful and intriguing paradox: We live our entire lives in the span of an instant; yet, a lifetime is not enough time to tell or do it all. Life lasts but an instant and so, it is always Now O' Clock.

I am also a Certified Life Coach. I guide fortune 500 CEO to move from Mind to Manuscript by overcoming"Thought" blocks and becoming published non-fiction authors for the first time.
I do this through deep listening and mindful conversation in The Present Positive Tense. These conversations are followed by clients taking the action steps that lead to the fulfillment of being published.
It would take a thousand books to tell the entire story of our own individual lives. However, most of us have at least one special story we would like to tell or a lesson we would like to teach. For some, the greater part of that book is already written in your mind; for others there may be some pages already written or even a completed first draft. Now, it is a matter of turning the books in your mind into manuscripts and for the others, it is time to finish what you started.
Through "thought- sharing" in powerful dialogue, we find ways to get inspired and motivated to achieve your writing goals. Applying the highest and best use of your energy in "Time" is what makes the task seem easy, quick and even pleasant.
Here is a quote that may inspire you: "Once you have made the first step into a mile towards your goal, there will always be less than a mile to go".

When it comes to cyclocross, the CruX Expert has everything you need and nothing that you don't. It features the same World-Championship-winning geometry and carbon layup as its S-Works cousin, so ultra-responsive handling and punchy accelerations are covered. You'll also find that these traits are accentuated by the lightweight and extremely stiff FACT 11r carbon fiber construction, while course control is furthered through its one-by design, hydraulic disc brakes, and front/rear thru-axles. Altogether, it's a bike that's guaranteed to take your performance to new heights this season.
With maximum mud-shedding ability in mind, we included eight millimeters of clearance on all sides of a 33mm tire, providing plenty of clearance for muddy conditions. It's awesome to have a light bike, after all, but frame weight becomes irrelevant when it's covered in 10 pounds of mud. It also comes with a reliable SRAM Force 1 hydraulic disc groupset, lightweight and durable Roval C 38 Disc carbon fiber wheelset, and 2Bliss Ready tires that hookup over nasty terrain.
SRAM's Force 1 delivers smooth, crisp shifts, along with plenty of stopping power via their hydraulic disc brakes.

Watching for the Light: The Nativity Fast Advent
Modern holiday celebrations can cloud our understanding of the Nativity of Christ, the basis for our understanding of God's mission in the world. Discovering and practicing the joyful expectation and preparation of Advent can reorient us to the wonder of the Incarnation. Jamie Cain Part 1 of 1
Christmas Fasting and Feasting in the Early Church
The Meaning of a Nativity Fast
Suggestions for Practice
"Around the time of the millennium, a cultural and quasi-religious feasting season arose. It is easier to pinpoint the season's dates and traditions than to identify its origin. Contemporary sources call it 'the holidays' or 'holiday season,' and it extended from Black Friday (the day after the Feast of Thanksgiving) to New Year's Day (January 2). (Some observances began as early as the Monday before Thanksgiving and continued through the first week of January.) The period was characterized by widespread excess: material acquisition at nearly endless 'sales,' and an endless cycle of holiday parties at which it seemed to snow food and rain drink"—and may relate to widespread contemporary appearances of a portly, grandfather figure sporting red flannel and white fur."
—Sacred Silliness: The "Holy" Mysteries of the Late Post-Post Period, Thomas Gradgrind, C.E. 2400
I can't see the future, but it's not hard to imagine a 25th-century historian like Gradgrind writing a similar entry to make some sense of the "holiday season." A strange web of traditions has grown up around Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's, intermingling the sacred and secular.
"When can I play Christmas music?"
"Should we attend church on Christmas Day?"
"When can I put up a tree?"
"Do 'Happy Holidays' and 'Xmas' take the Christ out of Christmas?"
"Do I stand in line on Black Friday or wait till Cyber Monday?"
Navigating these traditions and arguing about these questions has become a national pastime played out in the social media arenas.
The church calendar invites us to set some of these aside in favor of a different posture: a posture of joyful expectation and preparation. In a year that's invited us to slow down a bit and stay nearer to home, we can trade some of the "hustle and bustle" of the holidays for the "watch and wait" of the Nativity Fast.
Many Christians in the West think of the church calendar—if they think of it at all—in terms of two events: Christmas or Nativity, and the Passion of Jesus, culminating in Easter or Pascha. It makes sense, as these days celebrate the cornerstones of the Christian faith—the coming of Jesus the Messiah in the flesh (the Incarnation) and his vindication as the Son of God victory over sin and death (the Resurrection). The gospel, particularly as preserved in the Nicene Creed, puts Christmas and Easter in central focus.
But once the church settled on specific dates for these two events, early Christians began to reorder their entire observation of time around them. The church began gathering on the first day of the week rather than the seventh, for example, in order to remember Jesus' resurrection on the first day.1 Over time, a "Christian year" developed around the events of Jesus' life and the legacy of his followers over the centuries. At the same time, new Christians began to see the feast days of Christmas and Easter as ideal times to mark their new birth with baptism. The church responded by setting aside times of preparation for those planning for baptism (called catechumens).
The Easter fast developed first, as a time of preparation called Lent. Mindful of Jesus' temptation in the wilderness, the church set aside a forty-day period from Ash Wednesday through Easter Sunday. During Lent, Christians practice a fast of variable strictness (not always involving abstinence from food in the Western church), and focus on repentance and forgiveness. (We'll consider Lent in March.)
The Christmas or Nativity Fast developed more slowly. The date of the Nativity is mentioned as December 25 as early as the 2nd century, but many in the church celebrated January 6 as both Nativity and Epiphany into the 4th century. The celebration of the Nativity had grown steadily more important after the early councils, since it provided theologians of the 4th and 5th century with opportunities to engage the Arian and Monophysite heresies that plagued the early church.
The feast continued to grow in importance until St. Athanasius (d. 373) proposed giving the Nativity its own feast day. St. John Chrysostom (d. 407) considered the Feast of the Nativity a kind of headwaters for the rest of the church's calendar flowed. He wrote in 386,
In this feast the Epiphany, holy Pascha, the Ascension and Pentecost have their beginning and their purpose. For if Christ hadn't been born according to the flesh, he wouldn't have been baptized, which is Epiphany. He wouldn't have been crucified, which is Pascha. He wouldn't have sent the Spirit, which is Pentecost. So from this event, as from some spring, different rivers flow—these feasts of ours are born. (On St. Philogonius, a.d. 386)
In practical terms, this means fasting ought to help prepare for the Church's greatest feast. A fast mirroring the spring Lenten observance was desirable because it heightened the attention the Incarnation received, and over time the fast attached to the Feast of the Nativity. But the Nativity Fast developed more slowly, and more locally, than Lent did. By the middle ages, the churches observed one of two fasts around Christmastime. By the 6th century, fasting was often required from St. Martin's Day (St. Martin of Tours, November 11) until Epiphany or Theophany (January 6). But some places focused on St. Philip's Fast, begun the day after St. Philip's feast day (November 14 on the Julian calendar). But in the 12th century, the church formalized the nature and forty-day length of the Nativity Fast. Even then, strict fasting outside of monasteries was rare.
After the Great Schism of the church, the Western church continued to celebrate Advent (from the Latin, adventus, "coming"), eventually shortening its observance to the four Sundays before Christmas. In the Victorian revival and expansion of Christmas traditions, Advent came to be celebrated in more Protestant churches. A further expansion of Advent's observance in Protestant churches has occurred in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, in keeping with a growing interest in both church history and liturgical practice. But the fasting tradition associated with the Nativity has largely disappeared from all but the Eastern churches, where it is sometimes called the Nativity Fast, Winter Pascha, or Small Lent.
If fasting and repentance go hand in hand, Great Lent's association with the Passion and Easter makes perfect sense. But what could a Christmas fast mean? After all, Christmas celebrates the coming of God into the world, light into darkness. How can we mourn?
For one thing, we fast because we welcome the Incarnation of the Word. While the Lenten fast points to Jesus' trial and testing before beginning his ministry, the Nativity Fast recalls Moses fasting for forty days before he receives the 10 Commandments.
We also fast because the Nativity invites us to participate in, to experience, the "humiliation of the Word." As Orthodox priest Fr. Stephen Freeman writes, "Fasting is about hunger and humility (which is increased as we allow ourselves to become weak). Fasting is about allowing our heart to break." St. Paul's extended meditation on the Incarnation says that Jesus "made himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men"—an act of absolute humility (Philippians 2:6-8, NKJV). In fasting we taste a similar humility, as abstinence from food gives us a voluntary experience of weakness that modern people tend to avoid at all costs.
Paradoxically, though, our weakness becomes strength because our own humiliation in fasting confirms not only our utter dependence on God for sustenance, but also his absolute provision of himself. The church fathers and mothers would have agreed heartily with what Dallas Willard writes in The Spirit of the Disciplines: "Fasting confirms our utter dependence upon God by finding in him a source of sustenance beyond food. … In fasting, we learn how to suffer happily as we feast on God." Like the crew of the Dawn Treader in C. S. Lewis's classic tale, we discover that the water God provides makes us feel "almost too well and strong to stand it," and enables us to look and see more light than we thought possible.2
Our fasting also reminds us of the strange Christian tension between death and life. The great paradox of the Christian life is that in dying to self, we may be born afresh to new and eternal life. Conversely, Christmas reminds us that our eternal life depends on the death of the Word of God made flesh in the manger's tiny occupant. As St. John Chrysostom said, without the manger, there can be no cross. A powerful representation of this truth can be seen in Nativity and Adoration of Jesus, by the 16th century painter Jacopo Tintoretto. The Holy Family and the shepherds focus their gaze on the infant at the center, whose face is darkened the shadow cast by the stable's crossbeams. We cannot miss that the cross casts a shadow over the manger.
The Nativity Fast finally invites us to expand our understanding of fasting. The church fathers and mothers considered fasting a discipline of repentance, yes, but they understood that word in a fuller sense than we sometimes do. They believed that fasting invited a true renewal of the mind, a tempering of the passions, so one may turn his mind more fully to God. In that sense, the Nativity Fast is an invitation to joyful expectation. We fast in joyful anticipation that God is changing us in Christ, enabling us to see more clearly and to live more fully within the boundaries of his present and available kingdom.
What stories or traditions are unique to your family's Christmas season? What do they reveal about how you "tell" time?
Pray that God would reveal any impediment to our moving toward him—a fear, a sin, an attitude. Write one or more on a slip of paper, then clench it in your hand as tightly as you can while you read Psalm 23. Notice how your hand feels when you release it. Recall how holding the paper occupied your mind and heart while you read. Advent is about receiving Jesus Christ, and we need open hands and hearts to see him "born in us."
If Advent is new to you, consider focusing readings and prayer each week on one theme related to Jesus' Nativity. (You can find a helpful starter guide at Keeping Advent.) An Advent wreath and candles can heighten your experience of joyful expectation as you light a new candle each week.
They also saw a connection to the eschatological "eighth day," the "day of the Lord" referenced in the Old Testament prophets and in Revelation.

Work to start on redevelopment of former town centre Post Office next month
Construction on a major West Suffolk Council project, designed to shape the future of Bury St Edmunds' town centre could start in early September.
Barnes Construction will begin work on the redevelopment of 17-18 Cornhill, the former town centre Post Office building, on September 7 subject to final checks with utility works. The construction is scheduled to be completed in early 2022.
The redevelopment of the building follows the council's purchase of the empty site after the Post Office took the commercial decision to relocate its business back in 2016.
The council has already agreed to invest £8.4 million which includes the £1.6m purchase. The project is designed to break even while delivering major improvements to the town centre.
John Griffiths, the leader of West Suffolk Council, has also secured an additional £160,000 through Suffolk Public Sector Leaders from the Business Rates retention pool.
He said: "By investing in its long-term future, we are demonstrating to all our ambition and confidence that the town centre will bounce back and be a place not just of economic, but also of social and cultural activity.
"We are creating a better, wider walkway encouraging footfall between the Arc and the historic town centre. We are creating a new commercial frontage onto St Andrews Street South, so that the street becomes more of an attraction in its own right. And we will be improving access while also keeping the historic Cornhill front. Through the new homes and commercial units we will also be creating a small level of income which will help toward the day to day services we provide."
The council's plans will deliver some of the key aims of the Bury St Edmunds Town Centre Masterplan, shaped by over 8,000 public comments and adopted in 2017.
This week, the council, following work with the New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership, has secured £2.75m of government investment from the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government into the project. The money gives more cost certainty given the challenges to construction following COVID-19 and other external influences
Chris Starkie, Chief Executive of New Anglia LEP, said: "We're pleased to be supporting the redevelopment of the Cornhill, which will help to enhance and revitalise the town centre. As towns reopen following the Covid-19 pandemic, projects like this which make them inviting, exciting and accessible places to visit will play an important part in our recovery."

In today's competitive environment, operators continue to look for ways to drive incremental sales—and beverages remain one of the opportunities. New data from Technomic's Beverage Consumer Trend Report highlights shake-ups in trends, preferences and behaviors that are changing the way operators look at beverages.
That number has been relatively flat since 2016. The growth of delivery, however, could present a future threat to beverage purchases. More than a third of consumers say they are ordering more delivery—and nearly half (48%) say they are ordering beverages from restaurants less as a result.
At the same time, slightly fewer beverages are being offered. Limited-service restaurants are showing a 2.2% decrease in drinks on the menu, compared to two years ago. The number of drinks on menus at full-service spots is down 0.7%.
Cold and iced coffee are up 50% at full-service restaurants and 9% at LSRs. "At coffee cafes, in particular, cold or iced coffee is now consumed by more consumers than hot specialty coffee and is also the beverage most likely to be ordered as a snack at this segment," finds Technomic.
Still, soft drinks are the leading beverages at both LSRs and FSRs. Flavored water is the fastest-growing LSR beverage.
Tropical Smoothie Cafe's sales in 2017 rose to $393 million. With the unit growth, it shows that juice and smoothie concepts continue to show strong growth potential. Additionally, nearly three-fourths of its customers rate the chain's quality as "very good." Jamba Juice and Caribou Coffee also got high quality ratings from consumers.
"With demand for authentic and regional Asian food growing, the next wave of the trend points to an influx of Asian-style drinks," finds Technomic. Other examples include TeaMoji in Allston, Mass., which specializes in colorful Taiwanese-style milk teas, and Tan-Cha, based in Rowland Heights, Calif., which offers cheese tea, featuring a foam of whipped milk and cream cheese. Peet's Coffee is one of the many concepts that has added turmeric-tinged lattes, teas and other beverages.

Joan Lewis - Contemporary Monotype, Back View, Deep Blue
Joan Lewis - Original Contemporary Monotype. Unsigned. There is a tear and loss at the right edge of the sheet, but there is a substantial margin so this does not affect the image.
Joan Lewis was a foundation student at the City Literary Institute, London from 1989-90, and obtained a Certificate in Fine Art at St Albans in 1993. Local to Bradford-on-Avon, she has exhibited widely, including exhibitions at Hertfordshire College of Art and Design, and Highgate Society Meeting Room, in the 1990s.
She was an experimental printmaker, using the print medium to explore the anatomy of the human body, as well as mental, emotional and relationship themes. The repetitions and variations in her etchings and monotypes, working in a variety of techniques, colours and textures, show the artist's enduring enquiry into these profound human subjects.
Her work in oil is expressive and thought-provoking, engaging with questions of identity and family relationships through colour and composition. Lewis has said: "My work is to do with relationships and isolation; a lack of communication between people who, although physically close, or related to each other, are emotionally distant. This introversion and lack of connection may result in unspoken conflict."

A week from today Jews around the world will celebrate Purim, a festival that commemorates the story told in the biblical book of Esther. In this story, Esther, a Jewish woman, becomes the queen, and is forced to confront a difficult situation when the king's counselor Haman initiates a plot to destroy the Jewish population.
As we gather this afternoon, we turn to you, Governor Inslee, and say, perhaps you have attained your position for such a time as this—to affect real change in our community. And so too for us, like Esther now, sitting in the halls of power, have attained our position for a time such as this—to speak truth and advocate for real change.
So together, we can join to create an environment that is healthy and sustainable, and a population that is thriving and secure.
To create a state where citizen and immigrant alike live free from fear and hatred, where our neighbors needs are fulfilled, and where justice and compassion and equity increase.

Opulent domes and balconied minarets soar upwards at the Blue Mosque, one of Istanbul's most striking landmarks. Built during the reign of Sultan Ahmet I (1603-1617), it is Islam's answer to Hagia Sophia, which it faces across a well-tended square. To this day, the Blue Mosque remains the symbol and centre of religious events in the city and is Istanbul's only mosque with six minarets, as opposed to the four of an imperial Ottoman mosque or two of a traditional neighbourhood mosque. The name of the mosque is derived from the wealth of priceless blue Iznik tiles that dominate its interior and decorate the vast central dome designed to lift all eyes heavenward.

To this day, the Blue Mosque remains the symbol and centre of religious events in the city and is Istanbul's only mosque with six minarets, as opposed to the four of an imperial Ottoman mosque or two of a traditional neighbourhood mosque. The name of the mosque is derived from the wealth of priceless blue Iznik tiles that dominate its interior and decorate the vast central dome designed to lift all eyes heavenward., Dedeman, Hotel, Accommodation, Travel, Meeting

Australian minister: Kanye West may not be suitable for a visa due to antisemitic remarks
Australia's Minister for Education says his country may deny controversial rapper a visa due to his recent antisemitic statements.

American rapper Kanye West may not be suitable for an Australian visa because of his history of antisemitic remarks, a government minister said on Wednesday, according to Reuters.
Minister for Education Jason Clare condemned West's "awful" antisemitic comments involving Hitler and the Holocaust, saying others who had made similar statements had been denied visas.
"People like that who've applied for visas to get into Australia in the past have been rejected," Clare was quoted as having said in an interview on Channel Nine. "I expect that if he does apply he would have to go through the same process and answer the same questions that they did."
A spokesperson for the rapper did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The comments came after local media reported that West would visit to Australia to meet the family of his partner, Bianca Censori, who grew up in Melbourne.
Peter Wertheim, co-chief executive officer of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, met officials on Tuesday to argue for an entry ban.
"We had a sympathetic hearing," Wertheim said on Sky News. "We've made the case that this particular individual does not meet the character test and that it would be in the national interest not to grant him a visa and we set out our reasons in some detail in that letter."
West caused outrage last year after saying during an interview that the Abraham Accords between Israel, the UAE, and Bahrain were signed because former White House senior adviser Jared Kushner, who is also Trump's son-in-law, wanted to "make money" from the deal.
He later threatened to go "death con 3 on the Jews" in an apparent antisemitic Twitter rant. West followed this up by claiming that he can't be antisemitic "because black people are actually Jew."

In the wake of the comments, several companies cut ties with West, including the Creative Artists Agency, Foot Locker, and Apple Music.
West did not stop there, however, and gave an interview to Alex Jones of Infowars in which he said he "loves everyone," including Jews, as well as Nazis, spoke favorably of Hitler and denied the Holocaust.


Vestibular Rehabilitation - Inter-Action Rehabilitation Inc.
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy is an exercise-based program for reducing the symptoms of disequilibrium and dizziness associated with vestibular pathology. The program is designed to achieve goals such as decreasing dizziness and visual symptoms, increasing balance and walking function and increasing general activity levels. The program may include exercises for coordinating eye and head movements, stimulating the symptoms of dizziness in order to desensitize the vestibular system, improving balance and walking ability and improving fitness and endurance.
Treatment of BPPV is done by using canalith-repositioning maneuvers (a series of head maneuvers that move displaced calcium carbonate crystals out of one of the semicircular canals of the inner ear).

'It hurts:' After vowing change, Black candidates shut out again of MLB front office jobs
It was supposed to be different this time around.
Major League Baseball embraced the Black Lives Matter movement this summer, and pledged diversity in their front-office hirings this winter.
In the end, there were eight president of baseball operation and GM jobs filled this winter, and not a single job went to an African-American. Kim Ng was the only minority hired when she became the first woman and first person of East Asian descent to be the GM of a MLB franchise with the Miami Marlins.
The New York Mets hired two white men — Sandy Alderson and Jared Porter — to become their president and GM, respectively.
The Philadelphia Phillies hired a white man, Dave Dombrowski, to become their president of baseball operations.
There were new white GMs in Texas (Chris Young) and Anaheim (Perry Minasian).
There were three white males who were promoted to president or GM with the Chicago Cubs (Jed Hoyer), Cincinnati Reds (Nick Krall) and Milwaukee Brewers (Matt Arnold).
"I had fooled myself into feeling that by seeing people march on streets on our behalf, and that all people matter," Chicago White Sox executive vice president Ken Williams told USA TODAY Sports, "there was going to be some change. I really thought that.

"I won't make that mistake again."
Williams, 56, is the lone Black man in charge of baseball operations for any of major-league club. He was hired as the White Sox's GM 20 years ago, and during the past two decades, the only other Black GMs hired throughout baseball were Tony Reagins of the Los Angeles Angels, Michael Hill of the Miami Marlins and Dave Stewart of the Arizona Diamondbacks. They have yet to get another opportunity. The only active minority GMs are Al Avila of the Detroit Tigers, Farhan Zaidi of the San Francisco Giants and Ng.
Given the national dialogue on race and equality this year, there was reason to believe things would change in baseball. Even Theo Epstein, then the president of the Cubs, ridiculed his hiring practices and called on all of MLB to improve.

While Black executives were job candidates, not a single one was promoted into a high-ranking leadership role.
Hill, who was vice president of baseball operations for the Marlins since 2013 until this winter and has a degree from Harvard, interviewed for the Mets and Phillies. Billy Owens, assistant general manager/director of player personnel for the Oakland A's, interviewed with the Mets and Angels. And De Jon Watson, Washington Nationals special assistant who has been an assistant GM, scouting director, farm director, and a two-time World Series champion, inexplicably did not even get a single interview.
"It hurts, man, it (expletive) hurts,'' Williams said, his voice cracking. "It hurts to see guys achieve things in this game, and it hurts to see these guys are so damn good at what they do, and they continue to get bypassed over and over again. It physically hurts.
"I can't stand in front of some of the young aspiring executives in the game and tell them with a straight face and tell them they have opportunity for advancement. It would be completely insincere for me to do such a thing.
"I know some people don't want to hear what I have to say, but I'm just being honest with you."
'Can't get an opportunity'
The anger and frustration in baseball's Black community is deafening.
There were promises baseball's hiring would be different this winter. Commissioner Rob Manfred delivered a statement before the June 10 Draft on racial equality, vowing that MLB would use its platform to actively push for social change.
Baseball executives committed more than $310,000 to five organizations that fight for racial justice with the Commissioner's Office matching the donations.
Epstein was widely praised for speaking out against systemic racism in the game, saying that he and every other GM needs to look themselves in the mirror about their hiring practices.
"I've hired a Black scouting director, farm director in the past,'' Epstein said, "but the majority of people that I've hired, if I'm being honest, have similar backgrounds as me and look a lot like me. That's something I need to ask myself why.
"The system doesn't fix itself. You have to stand up and take some action. …I think we all have to admit that we're all part of the problem and we all have to be better to become part of the solution.''
Here we are six months later, and there are still only three Black farm and scouting directors in the game, with Jared Banner in the running for a job with the Cubs.
"I'm shocked what's going on and how some of these guys aren't getting hired," said Steve Ontiveros, Kansas City Royals assistant scouting director who is biracial. "You know they're qualified. Everyone knows that, but they can't get an opportunity."
Teams are required to identify and interview at least one minority candidate for every leadership vacancy, a rule established by former Commissioner Bud Selig in 1999. Owners will tell you that Manfred has stressed the importance of diversity in their private meetings leadership, even pleading with teams.
Yet, he is powerless to mandate the hiring of anyone outside of the Commissioner's office, and recently hired Michele Meyer-Shipp to evaluate MLB's programs and policies.
"Improving the diversity of our clubs' baseball operations and on-field leadership positions remains a top priority for our industry,'' Manfred said in a statement to USA TODAY Sports. "Through the Selig Rule, diverse candidates were considered for each of the five open club baseball operations positions. While the hiring of Marlins General Manager Kim Ng was a historic moment in professional sports, we need to continue our efforts to recruit, develop and advance underrepresented talent across the league. … We remain committed to building a sustainable pipeline of quality candidates and opportunities for the near and long-term future."
The problem is that the pipeline is filled with white Ivy League graduates. There's a scarcity of minorities even among entry level internships.
And then there is Pittsburgh Pirates assistant GM Kevan Graves, who is Black and a 2003 graduate of Dartmouth who did not receive an interview this winter.
"How in the world does Michael Hill not have a job?'' a team president told USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the subject. "He has been a president and a GM. He does an unbelievable job in Miami. And he has a Harvard education.
"If he was white, he could have had any job he wanted.''
'We have to market ourselves better'
The lack of minority hiring this winter is no indictment on the new GMs, with all receiving high accolades among their peers.
"I don't want this to sound like these other people are not qualified or deserving in their own right,'' Williams said. "That's not for me to decide. But I'm looking at it in its entirety and totality. I'm looking at all of the years, not just 2020. And I keep saying the same thing.''
Maybe it's time for MLB to make policy changes, steal a page out of the NFL playbook where teams may be rewarded with a higher draft pick if a minority from their organization is hired and promoted by another team's front office. It could provide incentive for teams to at least start filling their pipeline with minority candidates.
"I remember going to Howard University a couple of years ago to talk to 50 college students about their post-graduate possibilities,'' said Milwaukee Brewers president Rick Schlesinger. "I asked how many would be interested in going into a baseball front office for a potential career. Only one raised their hand.''
Schlesinger, who recently helped create the Equity League with the Green Bay Packers, Milwaukee Bucks and Microsoft, to increase investment in businesses started by Black and Latin entrepreneurs, was stunned by the lack of interest.
"It was astounding, and troubling,'' Schlesinger said, "that these future leaders had no interest in our industry. We have to do a better job promoting our industry. We have to market ourselves better.
"We get so any resumes and applicants for jobs, but we are not getting the resumes and interest from African Americans, and that has to change. That's on us.''
Yet, with Black players comprising only 7.8% of last year's opening-day rosters, and the few executives in front offices, it's almost as if the doors are already closed. Baseball has done an abysmal job retaining former players.
It's time for drastic change, perhaps an incentive plan to help influence hiring decisions, knowing that despite all of the promises for change this summer, the status quo is suffocating the sport's aspirations of genuine diversity.
"I can't even tell my own son (Ken Williams Jr.), who's our assistant player development director,'' Williams said, "to stay in the game because I don't know if there will be an opportunity for him. No matter how good he gets, will there be an opportunity for him ahead? I can't say that. What evidence is there this will be the case?
"And I can't begin to tell you how much that hurts.''

Q: Qual a diferença entre o gráfico de barras e colunas no R? Gostaria de saber a diferença prática entre os gráficos de barra e coluna, pois vejo no ggplot por exemplo que existem os comandos geom_bar e geom_col. Qual seria melhor ou quais as limitação de cada um?

A: É possível obter os mesmos resultados usando geom_bar e geom_col. As sintaxes dos comandos serão diferentes, mas esteticamente é possível obter exatamente o mesmo resultado gráfico.
geom_bar deixa a altura (ou comprimento, se forem barras horizontais) das barras proporcionais ao número de casos em cada grupo (a não ser que o parâmetro weight seja utilizado, mas aí é outra história). Ou seja, por padrão, geom_bar usa stat_count() para determinar o tamanho das barras.
geom_col é usado quando queremos que as barras representem valores diretamente presentes no conjunto de dados. Por padrão, geom_col usa stat_identity() para determinar o tamanho das barras.
Na prática, isso significa que geom_bar fará diretamente um gráfico de barras representando a frequência de alguma variável categórica presente no conjunto de dados. Para obter o mesmo resultado com geom_col é necessário pré-processar os dados, encontrando primeiramente essas frequências.
library(tidyverse)

ggplot(mpg, aes(x = drv)) +
  geom_bar() +
  labs(title = "geom_bar")

ggplot(mpg, aes(x = drv)) +
  geom_col()
#> Error: geom_col requires the following missing aesthetics: y

mpg %>%
  group_by(drv) %>%
  count() %>%
  ggplot(aes(x = drv, y = n)) +
  geom_col() +
  labs(y = "count", title = "geom_col")

Created on 2021-05-03 by the reprex package (v2.0.0)
A escolha da utilização de cada método vai depender de cada usuário. Eu prefiro geom_col, mesmo ele dando um pouco mais de trabalho, pois consigo ver direitinho qual é a tabela de contagens que está sendo plotada.

Former GE CEO Jack Welch was on Fox News this afternoon, where he explained his tweet earlier in the day suggesting that President Barack Obama had manipulated the data in the jobs report.
Fox anchor Eric Bolling asked him about a Washington Free Beacon report that notes two economists working at the Bureau of Labor statistics have donated to the Obama campaign — one at least $9,000 over the last three election cycles and one at least $270 this time around.
Welch didn't offer any judgment on that.
"It's just ironic that these assumptions all came this way the month before the election," Welch said. "You can draw your own conclusions."

Chilling Ghostly Images At Home near Covington, Kentucky With Haunting Past
Leslie Morgan Published: September 9, 2021
Amanda Merila/Facebook
While going about my ordinary day, there have been times I have felt like I'm not alone. Sometimes it's in the car, during my long commute, driving to and from work. Other times it's in my yard or the house. It's a feeling that someone or something else is near.
The only way I can describe it is that it's like pressure in the air around you. It's nothing too much, just a slight difference in a directional sense. Have you ever felt someone behind you and that turned around and there was actually someone standing there? It's that feeling. But, sometimes you look in the direction of the feeling, and there is no one there.
During my time writing about such feelings and paranormal activity, I have come across instances where there is no feeling and no one there until you look at a photo. That is when you can see a figure, one that gave no noise, or feeling of pressure.
Most of the time, much to the surprise of the people in the photo and the person who took the photo, sometimes a ghostly figure shows up.
Much like a photo and a story I came across that involved a neighborhood in Kentucky, three houses, several families, and multiple hanging moments. The photo was taken several years ago, with no photoshop alteration to the original photograph. The only thing that was used on the photo was a coloration filter to try and get a better look at the ghostly image.
Some look at the photo and say it's a lens and shutter issue involving a third person in the picture, while others see something ghostly that is eerily lurking around a grandmother and her granddaughter in a house with a history of sightings.
Here is what Amanda says about her family photo.
This was taken in Melbourne, KY and there was no one else in the picture when he took it except his sister and her granddaughter. We have dealt with hauntings between our houses for as long as we can remember. This photo still gives me chills every time I see it. I don't think there is any way to dispute what it is...many stories... between the three houses...all three homes are incredibly close together. This (the photo) was taken in their family home on the next street over from mine. The house itself dates back to about 1900. - Amanda Merila
Amanda, her family, and others in her neighborhood believe there are dark spiritual attachments around them. They have lived with unusual and scary things happening. This is a photo taken of her and her brother in 1987.
This is Melbourne in about 1987. Me and my brother. The house is torn down after the flood of 97 but is literally a stone's throw from my house now, which was my grandparent's house. I have activity here as well, you said it in an encompassing way, to where the article is very spot on. Lol, my mother calls me the ghost whisperer. When I was a little girl where this photograph was taken, I saw a man sitting in the middle of the couch with his legs crossed staring at me. My mom kept telling me no one was there and I kept trying to call it her to get behind her back and hide. There was toilet paper that my mom used to stack on top of the refrigerator. Something is thrown a bunch of rolls at her. She would never stay there alone when my dad was at work. She would pack us kids up and bring us here (my grandparent's house that I live in now). My aunt had played with an Ouija board there and it was saying disturbing things so they threw it in the fire barrel outside. Some odd things happened to my aunt's when they live there before us. Yes, it is fine if you use the photo. - Amanda Merila
Whether you believe Amanda and her family, or not, isn't the issue. Please be respectful in your opinions of the photos.
The photos caught my eye immediately. Although I'm always skeptical of photos like these, after corresponding with Amanda and reading her stories about the photos, they became even more interesting. Amanda consulted a psychic about the first photo, who confirmed the feeling of a spirit.
I've said many times before that the spirit is in the eye of the beholder. If you do not believe or accepts that ghosts and spirits are a part of our reality, you won't think the photo is a real account of a spiritual moment. But, if you do, it opens your eyes even wider to the paranormal possibilities.
