Hidden Venice
Ten things to be discovered about the Venice International Film Festival
The Marilyn Monroe of the future, music stars, great coming backs and new frontiers: ten things to discover about the 75th Venice Biennale Cinema
Everyone says that this will be an extraordinary Film Festival: great authors, an array of Stars and glamorous events. But while everyone is looking at the calendar to decide which film to see, we are starting from the first ten things that can be discovered at the 75th Venice Film Festival.
Eight Lions on the red carpet
In addition to the winner of the last edition Guillermo del Toro, who will preside over the jury, at least eight directors, who won the Golden Lion in the past editions, will walk down the red carpet.
The Chinese Zhang Yimou, winner of the Silver Lion for best director with 'Lanterne Rosse' in 1991 and winner of two Golden Lions, with 'The story of Qiu Ju' in 1992 and with 'Not one less' in 1999, will present his latest film ('Ying' shadow), not in competition.
Tsai Ming-Liang, winner with 'Vive L'Amour (Aiqing Wansui)' in 1994, is coming back to Venice. The Taiwanese director will present his latest work 'Ni de lian (Your Face)' with Lee Kang-Sheng, interpreter of all his previous feature films including 'Stray Dogs' awarded with the Silver Lion – grand jury prize, in 2013.
Finally we will also see, on his quest to win the Golden Lion for the second time, the British Mike Leigh (Golden Lion in 2004 with "The Secret of Vera Drake") in competition with "Peterloo".
At the Lido there will also be two other winners of the Silver Lion – grand jury prize in competition. Mario Martone, who won with 'Death of a Neapolitan Mathematician' in 1992 and the American Julian Schnabel, Silver Lion in 2000 with 'Before Night Falls'.
Out of the competition, two directors who have won the Silver Lion for Best Director will present their latest works: Emir Kusturica (awarded in 1998 for "Black Cat, White Cat") and the Argentinean Pablo Trapero, awarded a couple of years ago, in 2015, for the wonderful 'The clan' will both be back in Venice.
The controversy on new platforms: the "Netflix case"
"A festival, today, can not ignore those productive and distribution realities that are and will become increasingly important: they are part of our world and must be taken into consideration", explained Barbera, in response to the controversy. In the same year that have seen Cannes Film Festival refusing the films produced by the new TV platforms, the Biennale Cinema will host nine of them. 'It can not be denied that are often these new actors to produce films of great directors which otherwise would not be funded.
The most nurtured team is Netflix with its six films: "22 July" by Paul Greengrass (in Competition), "Roma" by Alfonso Cuaron (in Competition), "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs" by Joel and Ethan Coen (in Competition ), "Sulla mia pelle" by Alessio Cremonini (Orizzonti), "The Other Side of the Wind" and "They'll love me when I'm dead", the two films by Orson Welles excluded from Cannes and completed in the lagoon, where the American director loved to spend his evenings at Harry's bar.
Amazon Studios is present, always in competition, with "Peterloo" by Mike Leigh and "Suspiria" by Luca Guadagnino. As for the TV series, finally, HBO, which in 2016 brought to Venice the first two episodes of "The Young Pope", this year returns with the film version of "L'amica geniale" by Elena Ferrante directed by Saverio Costanzo.
The return of the young talents
One of the most exciting moments of the Festival is the presentation of the Marcello Mastroianni Prize, established in 1998 to reward one emerging actor or actress. In the Venice75 program we can find four actors who have been awarded in the past editions.
Two are women: Jasmine Trinca awarded in 2009 with "The Big Dream" by Michele Placido, acting in "Sulla mia pelle" by Alessio Cremonini (Orizzonti section) and Paula Beer, in competition with "Werk Ohne Autor" by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck and rewarded for "Frantz" of Ozon two years ago.
In the short "Crow: the legend", by Eric Darnell, with John Legend and Oprah Winfrey (Section "Venice Virtual Reality") we find both Diego Luna, awarded in 2001 with "Y tu mama tambien", and Tye Sheridan, awarded in 2013. The latter will also be in competition with "The Mountain" by Rick Alverson and present in the "Venezia Classici" section with the director's cut version of Terrence Malick's "The Three of Life", alongside Brad Pitt and Sean Penn.
Talking about young talents: Brady Corbet, winner of the Lion of the Future award two years ago with "The Childhood of a Leader", will be back in Venice as one of the film directors in competition. His new film, Vox Lux, is played by Jude Law and the former child prodigy (the unforgettable Padme Amigdala, mother of Luke Skywalker and Leila) Natalie Portman.
Volpi Cups: five could make an encore
Do you know that Shirley MacLaine, Isabelle Huppert and Valeria Golino are the only actresses to have won two times the Volpi Cup for the best female performance? This year there are five actresses present in Venice who have been awarded with this trophy in the past. Three are participating with a film in competition and they potentially can do an encore: Tilda Swinton, Juliette Binoche and Emma Stone.
The French Sandrine Bonnaire will be present with "L'enkas" by Sarah Marx (horizons section), while Valeria Golino will participate out of competition with Les Estivantes by Valeria Bruni Tedeschi. It will also be possible to see Charlotte Rampling again, who was awarded last year, in the restored version for Venezia Classici of one of her most famous films: "The night porter" by Liliana Cavani (1974).
Among the winners of the Volpi Cup for the best male interpretation we will see in Venice Joaquin Phoenix and Liam Neeson. Will they also be able to do an encore, as in the past did Jean Gabin, Toshiro Mifune, Sean Penn or Javier Bardem?
Venice Virtual Reality
Launched last year in the beautiful scenery of the Lazzareto Vecchio, the Virtual Reality section this year will be particularly rich. Compared to last year the films in competition between linear and interactive virtual reality have gone from 18 to 30. In addition to these there will be another 10 films out of competition.
These are more or less short works (it is advised not to immerse yourself in a virtual reality for too long) in which there is also a physical interaction with special environments or with the actors. Reservation is required. Venezia da Vivere will provide all the details as they become available.
The pre-opening event
Tuesday, August 28th for the Pre-Opening Night of the 75th Exhibition, the classic of the silent "The Golem – how he came into the world" by Paul Wegener, 1920, will be shown in Sala Darsena at the Lido, in a new digital copy with a restoration in 4K.
The screening will be accompanied live by the Mesimer Ensemble with the original music of Maestro Admir Shkurtaj commissioned by the Venice Biennale.
If nothing has changed from the past years the invitations will be available in the local newspapers some days before the event.
Follow VeneziaDaVivere for all the details, also on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
Godmother? In Venice75 there will be a 'Godfather'
Forget the dresses fluttering by the sea, washed by the sea water of the Lido. Last year the traditional godmother of the festival was replaced by a young Italian male actor, Alessandro Borghi, who nicely reinvented this role.
This year the baton passes to another young actor, Michele Riondino, who will present the opening ceremony on the evening of 29th August and will end the Festival with the closing ceremony on 8th September, during which the Lions and the other official prizes of the 75th Festival will be announced.
In addition to several autor films, such as Bellocchio's "sleeping beauty" or "the fabulous young man" by Martone (in competition in Venice in 2014), he has also participated in numerous successful television productions (Il giovane Montalbano, La Mossa del Cavallo).
Women of the Venice Days
The Venice Days, a parallel section of the Venice Film Festival, presents a program in which women are protagonists. "We did not specifically look for films with a female look, they appeared naturally before our eyes during our search" said Giorgio Gosetti, in charge of the programme.
The films in Competition are 11, including the opening film Les Tombeaux Sans Noms (Graves Without a Name) by Rithy Panh, and among the Italians "Ricordi?" By Valerio Mieli, and "il Bene Mio" by Pippo Mezzapesa starring Sergio Rubini.
Marilyn Monroe: between past and future
Although Marilyn Monroe has never walked down the red carpet of the Venice Film Festival, her name often recurs in the history of the festival. Perhaps not everyone knows that in the '50s some films that saw her as main actress were in competition at the festival marking some salient phases of its history.
In 1950 John Huston's asphalt jungle was presented at the exhibition in competition, winning the Volpi Cup for best male interpretation with the actor Sam Jaffe. And it was in that instant that Marylin's fame took off.
In 1956 the director Joshua Logan arrived at the lagoon to present his 'Bus Stop', in competition. Bus stop marks a crossroads for Marylin, by then worldwide-known star.
After her marriage with Joe Di Maggio, the actress moved to Manhattan, started a relationship with Arthur Miller and wanted to make a change to her career, so far only based on comedies. But from that moment on her most successful film was in fact a comedy, in black and white as the first films in which she had appeared: in 1959 Billy Wilder brought to Venice in competition "Some like it hot" with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. The film was a big hit with the audience and the critics and Marylin won her only Golden Globe for Best Actress.
And in Venice 75 the restored version of this masterpiece will finally be presented, absolutely not to be missed (Venezia Classici). And it will not be the only film in which Marylin will be the protagonist.
M like Marylin
The first film by the Finnish Anna Eriksson, inspired by the figure of Marylin, is competing in the "Critics' Week". "M", as presented on the site of the SIC, "explores the relationship between sexuality and death, two concepts that are only apparently on two opposite poles, but that are actually merged into each of us, disguising the fear of death or his desire, the world of Eros ". The film is played by Anna Eriksson herself, who is a pop star and has released over 10 albums, winning two Emma Awards (a sort of Finnish "Grammy").
Also as part of the independent reviews, we will see "Goodbye Marilyn" by Maria Di Razza as a special event at the Giornate degli Autori. Based on the homonymous comic book by Francesco Barilli (Beccogiallo editions), in this animated short film the director imagines an interview with a ninety-year-old Marilyn, survived the tragic night of 1962 and now wiser and more detached.
Film star and music star
The Soundtrack Stars Award, a collateral award that at the Venice Film Festival goes to the best soundtrack among the films in the official selection, has also awarded the critics' prize to internationally renowned artists such as Ennio Morricone, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Nicola Piovani.
While waiting to listen to the music that Alexandre Desplat has composed to accompany "First Man" by Damien Chazelle, and to see Natalie Portman in her punk version with Vox Lux, we can think about the jury of the last editions, also full of great names of Italian music such as Cesare Cremonini or Malika Ajane, who we have often met on the streets of the Lido, drinking a coffee between one projection and the another.
This year the biggest wait is for the pop stars that will arrive at the lagoon, first of all Lady Gaga. Out of competition, Bradley Cooper will present the fourth remake of the film "A star is born", which marks his directorial debut, and in which he is also an actor.
At his side the American pop star who, after participating in 2015 in the series "American Horror Story Hotel" and in two films by Robert Rodriguez (Machete kills and Sin City), will test her final leap to the world of cinema with this film, the first as main actress. The film will be presented in world premiere during the first days of the event, on August 31st.

Did Frank do the right thing ?
Posted by fijipensioners in Articles & Reports
There was an immediate cross-party negative reaction to the 2006 coup in Fiji, civilised as it was by world standards. One would gather that the government toppled was wise, dispassionate, committed to the development of Fiji, even-handed and honest. Sadly, none of this was true. The Commodore's demands were demands that should have been made by Fiji's donor nations and backed up with threats of withdrawal of aid years ago. His chief demands were that the Qarase government sack and prosecute ministers involved in the George Speight coup which the Commodore had thwarted; that the government tackle the massive conventional corruption endemic in the public sector; and that the government abandon the new-style corruption identified in the editorial in this Journal in November 2006 whereby the government taxes the parts of the population it does not like and hands out public money to its cronies and to buy support. In Fiji this had an additional racial element. Hardworking Indians who are thwarted at every turn by Fiji's bizarre landholding system were then being taxed and the money dished out to indigenous Fijians who appear to believe that they have a right to maintain a lifestyle that does not generate wealth and be supported by their own Indian population, or New Zealand or Australia or China or somebody. The Bainimarama government is now embarked on long-overdue fiscal and land reform without which all aid to Fiji is simply money thrown down a black hole.
The purpose of a constitution is to control and limit government. It follows from this that one of the potential threats to a constitution comes from the government of the day which may not want to be limited. "Elected government good, military coup bad" is a facile analysis. Despite what Jennings and other socialists believe, it is clear that elections are not sufficient to keep a government within bounds, especially when a voting majority reckons it can benefit by penalising a minority. It follows from this that it must, in the extreme, be the duty of the armed forces to overthrow an elected government which is threatening the constitution. This idea is expressed in New Zealand by the oath of allegiance not to the government of the day but to the Queen. The Crown today means not so much the person of the Sovereign as a set of values higher than those of the government of the day. New Zealand Police and Defence Forces appear not to understand this.

Winston Peters under Fire
Massey University's new migrants director Professor Shaista Shameem says New Zealand First leader Winston Peters risks serious harm to new migrant communities in New Zealand with his speech on immigration yesterday.
"Mr Peters does not realise just how much distress he is causing the new migrant communities in New Zealand when he takes to the podium to make the kinds of remarks he made in his state of the nation address in Auckland," Professor Shameem says.
"Such speeches have the effect of encouraging and facilitating outright racism against new migrants in New Zealand and cause serious harm to the safety and security of minority groups who have made their home here.
"Before launching his anti-immigration missiles, Mr Peters should take a moment to consider how his words can make migrant children suffer as targets of racial violence in the playground and classrooms. He should also consider how his speeches have the effect of causing direct and indirect discrimination in the workplace. Many employers, fuelled by the words of an accomplished politician such as Mr Peters, make life very difficult for their new migrant workers through exploitation, humiliation and abuse.
"Immigration to New Zealand does not benefit only migrants, as Mr Peters alleges. While many of them face tough challenges at first, most end up making a better life for themselves and their families and, in the process, help make New Zealand more cosmopolitan and vibrant. We all know that new migrants contribute to expanding the cultural capital of New Zealand.
"Mr Peters should also realise that his speeches against immigration have the inevitable effect of causing harm to the already vulnerable members of migrant groups. Women and children of minority populations in particular are not in a position to protect themselves from being targets of racial hatred caused by the thoughtless and dangerous comments that Mr Peters often lets loose on the general public.
"Mr Peters may well have a point or two to make about past and present governments' migration policies; however, he should try to make those points without encouraging entrenchment of existing ethnic prejudices in our society."

Reader response: Fiji and Australia rapprochement
By Anthony Bergin
Richard Herr was right to say that there was 'no massacre of hopes' in Foreign Minister Julie Bishop's visit to Suva to meet with Fiji's Prime Minister, Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama.
As Richard noted, it proved more of a love-in than a confrontation. But there's no doubt that Minister Bishop took on a political risk with her Fiji policy shift. It's now clear, however, that the risk was worth taking: she was praised in Suva, in the Australian media and the think tank world after the visit.
Ever since Julie Bishop announced some time back that there would be change in our Fiji policy, there were plenty of nay-sayers on the merits of shifting from our hard line position of trying to isolate Fiji. During the Rudd years in particular, such views had over-weening influence on the Australia-Fiji relationship, to our disadvantage in the region. Continue reading →
FNPF Contributions
Posted by fijipensioners in Letters
I AM referring to FNPF's AGM Prime Services response to another correspondent in The Fiji Times dated 20/02/14.
Mr Nagataleka is stating that the FNPF board seriously regards its fiduciary duties to always act in the best interest of its members to ensure their retirement savings are secure.
To be able to successfully achieve this goal, FNPF must ensure that all of its members' FNPF contributions deducted and paid in by employers throughout Fiji are verified and posted to members' respective accounts.
Contributions that get posted over the members working life with interest would eventually become the calculation figure for pension, part pension or lump sum payment whichever members may choose to opt for at their retiring age.
Apparently this has not been the case for many years now.
Millions of dollars are being transferred to unidentified accounts each year commonly referred to as the "suspense account". Continue reading →
Fiji Micro Finance Fiasco
Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum
Minister for Industry and Trade
ABOUT $710,000 is missing from 9200 microfinance savers accounts in four sectors around Fiji.
This is another classic case of mismanagement and it has occurred under a ministry controlled by Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum a man who has far too many ministries for the countries good.
Will FICAC (yet another ministry under Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum's control) investigate this fiasco ?. Will Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum make good the losses from his multiple undeclared incomes?. Of course not, he is arranging for it to be made good from taxpayers funds. (taxpayers are people and companies who declare their incomes).

Detecting COVID-19 in wastewater
Scientists at Newcastle University are part of a national programme to perform underpinning research and develop a standardised UK-wide system for detecting COVID-19 in wastewater.
"This project has exceptional potential because it brings together experts with different backgrounds from across the country, and will explicitly address key knowledge gaps in sewage surveillance.", Professor David Graham says. By analysing sewage to monitor the prevalence of COVID-19, the project aims to provide an early warning of future outbreaks and reduce reliance on costly testing of large populations.
SARS-CoV-2, the COVID-19 virus, does not readily spread through sewage and wastewater systems. However, non-infectious genetic residues of the virus, in common with other microbes, can remain in wastewater systems in locations where infected people go to the toilet, even if they are asymptomatic, so sewage surveillance is widely seen as a promising way of identifying future disease hotspots.
The new £1m research programme, which is now underway and will last until October 2021, will see experts develop sampling, testing and scientific modelling methods that will be adopted by government agencies and scientists across the UK. The work will inform the national surveillance programme recently announced by Defra.
As well as working with partners Northumbrian Water, the researchers will also work with Defra, environment agencies, public health bodies and other water companies across the UK. They will undertake sampling of wastewater at several major cities as part of their study.
The work at Newcastle is being led by Professor David Graham, who is also a member of the Transmission in Wider Environment Group (TWEG) providing guidance to UK Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) in relation to the current COVID-19 pandemic.
Professor Graham said: "This project has exceptional potential because it brings together experts with different backgrounds from across the country. The project will explicitly address key knowledge gaps in sewage surveillance, especially improving the accuracy of virus quantification, which is central to our work at Newcastle."
Guiding public health officials
The work builds on a similar, recent project led by Newcastle University, working with scientists from the University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain, and water industry partners, to develop a way to more exactly quantify the prevalence of the COVID-19 virus across the two regions.
Dr Marcos Quintela-Baluja, Research Associate, Newcastle University, said: "SARS-CoV-2 is substantially different from commonly monitored viruses in the environment and methods to track it have not yet been standardized. Measuring SARS-CoV-2 in sewage is more difficult than clinical samples, which is why we are focusing on developing accurate methods to guide public health officials."
Northumbrian Water's Wastewater director, Richard Warneford, added: "We're proud to be working with our partners at Newcastle University on this globally significant project. Our wastewater teams are working with their engineers and scientists to safely gather and analyse data and we're hoping that together we can help make a difference in the battle against COVID-19."
Wastewater-based epidemiology
The research programme is being led by the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) and also involves researchers from the universities of Bangor, Bath, Edinburgh, Cranfield, Lancaster, Oxford and Sheffield, plus the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
Dr Andrew Singer of UKCEH, principal investigator of the new National COVID-19 Wastewater Epidemiology Surveillance Programme (N-WESP), says: "Several studies have shown that the RNA of SARS-CoV-2 - the genetic material of the virus - can be detected in wastewater ahead of local hospital admissions, which means wastewater could effectively become the 'canary in the coalmine' for COVID-19 and other emerging infectious diseases.
"The research will be centred on wastewater-based epidemiology - the concept is based on analysis of wastewater for markers of infectious disease, illicit drugs or pharmaceuticals in order to better inform public health decisions. "By sampling wastewater at different parts of the sewerage network we can gradually narrow an outbreak down to smaller geographical areas, enabling public health officials to quickly target interventions in those areas at greatest risk of spreading the infection."

The Supreme Court is not split Republicans verses Democrats. There is however an ideological split, which influences their decisions. This is all highly simplistic, as I don't want a blog about textualism, or judicial activism ideas. I consider Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan to be in the liberal camp and Thomas, Alito, Roberts, Kennedy and Gorsuch to be in the conservative camp. So, in theory, every decision will be decided by the group of 5 in the conservative camp. Wrong, wrong and wrong!
I'll start with my conclusion. Liberals tend to stick together more than conservatives, at least in the current term in the Supreme Court, so if the liberals can attract one or more conservatives, then they will prevail. Sometimes, liberals join with conservatives. There are unanimous decisions, where ideological differences are unimportant. The most recent case, the New Jersey State Gambling case, was a 6 to 3 vote, with Kagan, normally on the liberal side, voted with the conservatives.
This is different from politics, where a Republican who supports a Democratic bill, in a close vote, is likely be pressured to change his vote.
I use Scotusblog.com in the current term for my statistics. Here is the agreement of votes from the liberal block, in the range of 96 to 100% agreement.
Ginsburg and Breyer 100%, Ginsberg and Kagan 96%, Ginsberg and Sotomayor 100%, Breyer and Kagan 96%, Breyer and Sotomayor 100%, Sotomayor and Kagan 96%.
Thomas and Alito: 100%, Thomas and Roberts 68%, Thomas and Gorsuch 81%, Alito and Roberts: 75%, Alito and Gorsuch 81%, Alito and Kennedy 86%, Roberts and Gorsuch 85%, Roberts and Kennedy: 89%, Kennedy and Gorsuch 81%.
There was a lot of talk about Kennedy being the swing justice. But, a very good argument can be made that Roberts is also a swing justice. In fact, Roberts has agreed with Ginsburg and Sotomayor the same percentage of the time (68%) as with Thomas. Gorsuch is the new justice, and statistics show he sides with the liberals at times.
There are some important caveats to this. First, this is all cases, and not broken down in ones where there was an ideological difference. I don't know how many cases were involved in calculating these statistics; it may be quite a small set. Finally, in a number of cases, justices concur in part, but not in all of the decision. The statistics don't distinguish between partial or full agreement. Both cases are considered agreement.
The Supreme Court has to make judgement on the most difficult cases. It decides each case on its merits, and in relationship to the law. It has been noted that the Supreme Court is producing less opinions in the current term. It may be that Roberts has tried to obtain more of a consensus among the justices, by keeping the opinions more narrowly focused in some of the cases.
The Supreme Court always provides their legal reasoning for their opinions, and dissents, soon after a decision is rendered.
Oops – On the latest blog, on the Supreme Court, that was sent to my followers, I wrote "Ginsburg is the new justice and statistics show he …when I meant to say Gorsuch. It has been corrected now.

Further, a trademark is valid for 10 years from the filing date of the application and may be renewed indefinitely every 10 years. In order to register a trademark, the Office will carry out a search to ascertain whether the mark already exists. Once the application fees have been paid, the application is then filed. The application should contain the proposed mark, the class of goods or services, and the applicant's name, address and signature. If the applicant is a foreign company, a power of attorney is required. The application is then examined to determine its inherent registrability and any conflict with prior existing registrations or applications. If accepted, the application will be advertised in the local gazette or on the IP website for 35 days. If there is no opposition after 45 days, the registrar, on payment of the prescribed fee, will enter the trademark in the register and issue a certificate of registration. The requirements for registration include providing: a representation of the mark; a specification of the goods; the name and address of the owner; a copy of a signed power of attorney form; a copy of the applicant's business registration certificate; a copy of the trademark registration certificate in the applicant's country of origin; and a company profile (ie, summary of the company's business activities and countries in which it operates). Cautionary notices in Somalia Trademark owners can rely on the cautionary system to protect their marks. In order to ensure that a cautionary notice reaches a wide audience, it will be published in the local language (Somali) in the print newspaper Mogadishu Times – published daily – and in English in the online newspaper hadhwanaag.ca – available on the website within two working days. Republication of the cautionary notice is recommended every two to three years. Cautionary notices in Somaliland Although Article 16(2) of the Somaliland Constitution states that "the law shall determine the rights to authoring, creating and inventing", no trademark registration laws, systems or offices have been implemented yet. As such, is advisable to publish cautionary notices as a means of enforcing trademark rights. The recommended procedure for publishing is as follows: Publish a cautionary notice in a print newspaper – this will be released in the weekly English newspaper the Horn Tribune. Publish a cautionary notice, in English, in the online newspaper the Somalilandsun – this will be available on the Somalia Trademark Office website within two working days. Publish a cautionary notice in Somali – this will appear in the Horn Tribune, which is published every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. Once published, the online version will also be published online in the Somalilandsun. Requirements for publishing include providing: a clear copy of the mark; a list of the relevant goods and/or services to which the mark is applied as per the Nice Classification; and the name and address of the trademark owner. The cautionary notice should be republished every two to three years. This is a co-published article, which was originally published in the World Trademark Review (WTR).

Инцидент в Трире — наезд на людей в немецком городе Трире, федеральной земли Рейнланд-Пфальц, произошедший 1 декабря 2020 года. В результате происшествия погибли 6 человек, около 23 получили ранения.

Атака
Около двух часов дня по местному времени на скорости 80 километров в час внедорожник протаранил толпу в пешеходной зоне. Водитель не сигналил и не пытался сбросить скорость. В результате погибли четыре человека, в том числе ребёнок. По разным данным, пострадали от 10 до 30 человек.

Случилось это в послеобеденное время, приблизительно около двух часов дня, на пешеходной зоне, которая выходит к Марктплатц. Очень много пострадавших, по Триру курсируют полицейские машины, пожарные, скорые помощи. Если вначале квалифицировали как теракт, то сейчас уже просто как происшествие, аварию. Человека, совершившего наезд, задержали полицейские, была небольшая гонка. Его задержали, по номерам [автомобиля] идентифицировали. И сейчас уже даже из Facebook пропала его страница. Его звали Бернд Вальтер Вайнманн, он немец. Я его фотографию видела, но сейчас все пропало. На пешеходную зону машины не имеют права заезжать, там даже велосипедам запрещено ездить, но автомобили местных жителей, которые проживают в этих домах, около Марктплатц, или машины, которые подвозят продукты к ресторанам, имеют право туда заезжать, поэтому, возможно, он был жителем какого-то дома. Плюс в этом году нет рождественского базара, поэтому заградительные тумбы не были поставлены, как в прошлом году.

Погибшие и раненые
В результате нападения погибли пять человек: 9-недельный ребёнок, 45-летний мужчина, являвшийся его отцом, и три женщины в возрасте 25, 52 и 73 года. Все они были жителями Трира. Ещё до 30 человек получили ранения, в том числе гражданин Люксембурга.

Задержание
После известия о произошедшем, на место немедленно прибыла полиция. Нападавший при задержании оказал сотрудникам правоохранительных органов сопротивление. Обер-бургомистр города Вольфрам Лайбе заявил: «У нас имел место умышленный наезд на пешеходов в центре города. Водитель был в состоянии амока.

Подозреваемый
Нападавший был опознан как 51-летний местный житель немецкой национальности, родившийся в Трире. Он был арестован спустя четыре минуты после нападения. Сообщалось, что перед инцидентом он употребил большое количество алкоголя. Полиция считает, что преступник действовал не по политическим, религиозным или идеологическим мотивам, а из-за проблем с психическим здоровьем, смешанных со злоупотреблением алкоголем. Будучи допрошенным полицией, он должен был пройти психиатрическую экспертизу, так как врач недавно пришёл к предварительному заключению, что этот человек может страдать психическим заболеванием.

Past Grants
The Strategy Research Foundation (SRF) of the Strategic Management Society (SMS) announces its 2021 Research in Organizations (RiO) Program. The objective of the RiO program is to support empirical studies conducted in organizational settings in which scholars collaborate with managers to address a problem important to both the theory and practice of strategic management.
The grants encourage strategic management researchers to engage more closely with strategic decision makers and strategy developers in different types of organizations. Thus, all proposals are required to formally include an organization that will serve as the primary research site and subject of study.
Important Dates for 2021 Call for Proposals
LATE SUMMER 2021
Submission System Opens
LATE DECEMBER 2021
Notification of Review Committee Decisions
Grant Period Begins
Grant Period Ends
RiO Call for Proposals
Target Applicant: A full-time faculty member or post-doctoral researcher affiliated with a university, who is a current member of the Strategic Management Society.
Funding and Key Terms: Grants of up to US$25,000, to support direct research expenses such as data collection and research assistance. No institutional overhead will be paid.
All proposals must identify a Principal Investigator (PI), a Co-Investigator (CI), and one or more Participating Organization(s) (PO) to serve as the research setting.
The PI who leads the research effort and to whom the grant is awarded must be a full-time faculty member or post-doctoral researcher affiliated with a university and a current member of the Strategic Management Society at the time of submission and throughout the grant period.
The PO may be public or private and for-profit or not-for-profit. It may not be a university or an entity closely affiliated with a university. The project must contain a significant empirical component that involves collection of qualitative and/or quantitative data in the PO. Examples of projects typically ineligible for RiO funding include collaborating with a PO to study the activities of other organizations not party to the proposal (e.g., partnering with a trade association to survey its members or working with a PO that is a research organization that will collect data on behalf of the PI). It is required that one or more managers from the PO be engaged directly in the research effort. Therefore, proposals that do not include a manager from the PO as a Co-Investigator will not be considered.
A proposal may have multiple CIs (managers or academics).
The SRF recognizes that confidentiality concerns may impose non-disclosure requirements affecting the information provided to the scholars or disclosed in publications or public presentations, including the identity of the PO. However, the identity of the PO must be disclosed in the proposal.
At any time, a single individual is permitted to serve as a PI or CI on only one proposal across all SRF programs (DRG, RiO, or RSM). Further, individuals named in a previously funded SRF proposal may not participate in a new proposal until expiration of the prior award. Individuals named on a proposal must disclose any prior SRF awards and demonstrate that the project in the current proposal is distinct from their previously funded research.
All SRF grants are intended to support research that has not been undertaken. Thus, completed work is not eligible for funding.
Funding & Deliverables
The SRF plans to award multiple RiO grants of up to $25,000 each during the 2021 funding cycle. Recipients will be named SRF Scholars.
The SRF program provides financial support to cover direct research expenses for data collection (including travel to the research site), student research assistance, and other activities that enable conduct of the research project. Examples of ineligible expenses include conference travel and registration fees, compensation for PI or CI time, teaching buyouts, purchases of software or equipment, and university overhead. Operating activities of the PO are also not eligible for funding. Determination of eligible and ineligible expenses rests with the SRF.
For proposals accepted for funding, the SRF will prepare an agreement to be executed by the PI detailing the responsibilities of both the PI and the SRF. Monies awarded will be available for a two-year period beginning January 1, 2022. Funds will be disbursed as expenses are incurred. Reimbursement for expenses incurred prior to the grant period is not permitted.
The SRF requires regular progress reports as well as a final report on the project. The PI will submit a progress report every six months of the grant and a final report within three months of the end of the grant. The final report will include an executive summary of the research findings and documentation of the expenses incurred.
Proposals (in English) are to be submitted by the PI through the online submission system at srf.strategicmanagement.net. Submissions should contain the following in a single PDF file:
a) Cover sheet with the following information:
1. Submission title
2. Amount requested in US Dollars
3. Name and academic affiliation of PI
4. Name of Participating Organization
5. Name and position of Co-Investigator from Participating Organization
6. Names of any other CIs and their affiliations
7. Summary (500 words) of the proposed research project
b) Research Proposal of up to 10 pages, single spaced, with the following structure:
1. Specific research question(s) addressed by the proposal, including how the research contributes to the field of strategic management, a review of the relevant literature from the field of strategic management, and expected contributions to both the theory and the practice of strategic management
2. Research design, including description of the data provided by the PO
3. Cited references
4. Timetable/schedule (including a description of any work completed to date)
5. Detailed budget in US Dollars, including disclosure of other sources of funding and any financial support from the PO
6. Expected impact of SRF funding on the quality of the research
7. Any other pertinent supplemental information
c) CVs for the PI and academic CI(s) and professional resume(s) for manager CI(s)
d) Disclosure of any personal or business relationship between researchers and the PO (other than for managers employed by the PO)
e) A description of any non-disclosure agreements governing the research, including discussion of restrictions on publishing outcomes
f) A letter from the PO signed by a senior representative not named as a researcher on the proposal that confirms the organization's participation in the proposed research
g) A letter from the Dean's Office of the PI's primary academic institution confirming support for the funding application and acknowledging any institutional financial resources provided to the project
h) Disclosure of any relationship with SRF Co-Chairs or the RiO Program Director that may create the perception of a conflict of interest: potential conflicts of interest include, but are not limited to, advising, co-authoring, or consulting relationships
Grant recipients will retain copyright to all materials prepared in connection with the funded project. However, the SRF will retain an irrevocable, royalty-free license in perpetuity to use such materials for non-commercial purposes furthering the mission of the SRF. The SRF will omit the identity of the PO in its use of those materials if non-disclosure agreements prevent its inclusion in publications. The SRF requires that any publication of the resulting research in articles or other forms includes an acknowledgement that the research was funded in part by the SRF of the Strategic Management Society.
Timetable & Evaluation Process
The SRF website will open for submissions in August 2021, and the submission deadline is October 1, 2021. Notification of RiO grants awarded will be made by January 1, 2022. Submissions will be reviewed using the following criteria:
Contribution to strategic management theory: Are the frameworks employed, the data to be used, and/or the potential results to be obtained likely to make a new and substantial theoretical or empirical contribution to the academic field of strategic management?
Contribution to strategic management practice: Is this research likely to yield important advice for managers in private or public organizations and make a significant contribution to the practice of strategic management?
Novelty of the research topic/question: Is this research likely to start or redirect a line of inquiry in the field of strategic management?
Research design and methodological rigor: Are the data appropriate for the theory being developed or tested? Are the procedures appropriate for the research questions? Is the description of the methods to be used adequate? Is validity properly justified?
Collaboration with the Participating Organization: Is the PO a suitable research site for the topic/question studied? Does the project fully leverage the involvement of the PO?
Likelihood of project success: Are the qualifications of the research team appropriate for the proposed research? Do the researchers have sufficient access to resources (financial and non-financial) to carry out the project?
Expected impact of the funding: Is SRF funding likely to make a significant difference to the quality, scope, or other characteristics of the project that will enhance its conceptual or empirical contributions to theory and practice?

Police need warrant or 'exigent circumstances' to ping cell phones, Supreme Judicial Court rules
Updated: Apr. 23, 2019, 1:29 p.m. | Published: Apr. 23, 2019, 1:14 p.m.
By Dan Glaun | dglaun@masslive.com
Law enforcement officers in Massachusetts will now need to get a judge's permission to ping cell phone locations during typical investigations, per a new Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruling.
On Tuesday, the court found that requests for real-time cell phone locations from carriers count as searches under the Massachusetts constitution. The ruling is the first time the court has addressed the issue, and comes as rapid advancements in digital detective work have raised questions about where legitimate investigation ends and invasions of privacy begin.
"New technologies hold great promise for helping to solve modern crimes. Doubtless, we will continue to develop increasingly advanced tools to aid law enforcement in the years to come. But as our capacity for surveillance grows, we must be mindful to preserve individuals' constitutional rights. We must be wary of the 'all-powerful government, proclaiming law and order, efficiency, and other benign purposes,' when it seeks to 'penetrate all the walls and doors' behind which we might shelter," Chief Justice Scott Kafker wrote in the ruling, citing the U.S. Supreme Court case of United States v. White.
Police officers are able to obtain real-time location data by asking cell providers to "ping" the GPS coordinates of individual cell phones. That information can be a powerful tool, both for finding missing persons and tracking people suspected of crimes.
But it also has opened avenues of surveillance unimaginable to previous generations of police officers, Kafker wrote.
"The fact that cell phones are now 'almost a feature of human anatomy' effectively means that individuals are constantly, and often unknowingly, carrying a hidden tracking device that can be activated by law enforcement at any moment, subject only to the constraints of whether law enforcement knows the phone number and whether the cell phone is turned on," the ruling says. "This extraordinarily powerful surveillance tool finds no analog in the traditional surveillance methods of law enforcement and therefore grants police unfettered access 'to a category of information otherwise unknowable.' Indeed, prior to the advent of cell phones, law enforcement officials were generally required, by necessity, to patrol streets, stake out homes, interview individuals, or knock on doors to locate persons of interest."
While prosecutors had argued that a singe ping of a cell phone was "too brief" to violate a person's privacy, the court found otherwise, ruling that it was a search under Article 14 of the Massachusetts constitution.
But the justices' ruling will not benefit Jerome Almonor, the defendant in this specific case. Police pinged the cell phone of Almonor while he was allegedly on the run after killing a man with a shotgun in 2012, and used the information to locate and arrest him. Almonor had filed a motion to suppress evidence, arguing that the cell phone ping was unconstitutional.
A judge sided with him, throwing out the results of the search. But the SJC found that while the cell phone ping was a search under the constitutional, police had the right to do so without a warrant because of "exigent circumstances" -- a legal test that allows law enforcement to conduct warrantless searches and seizures when necessary to prevent physical harm, destruction of evidence or other limited circumstances that require immediate action.
MassLive has reached out to the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association for comment.

Follingbo kyrka är en kyrkobyggnad i Follingbo i Visby stift. Den är församlingskyrka i Follingbo församling.

Kyrkobyggnaden
Kyrkans äldsta delar är långhuset och tornet som byggdes av kalksten omkring år 1200. Vid slutet av 1200-talet uppfördes ett nytt kor i gotisk stil.
Vid tornets västra sida fanns ursprungligen en ingång som sattes igen och vars överdel omvandlades till fönster.
Vid början av 1600-talet eldhärjades kyrkan och saknar därför kalkmålningar och medeltida inventarier bortsett från dopfunten.
Under 1700-talet togs tre rektangulära fönster upp i långhuset.
Nuvarande sakristia vid korets nordsida uppfördes 1820 - 1821.

Kyrkorummet har ett platt innertak av trä som försågs med målningar på 1600-talet. Nuvarande bänkinredning tillkom på 1600-talet. Orgelläktaren byggdes på 1700-talet.

Inventarier
 Predikstolen tillverkades på 1600-talet och fanns ursprungligen i Visborgs slottskyrka. 1744 byggdes dess trappa och 1750 moderniserades baldakinen.
 Altartavlan är från 1740-talet.
 Den bägarlika dopfunten är från medeltiden.
 Altaruppsats och krucifix är från 1700-talet.

Orgel
1859 bygger Anders Gustaf Nygren, Stockholm, en mekanisk orgel. Den omdisponeras 1956 av Andreas Thulesius, Klintehamn.

Scientists find ancient sea creatures in amber
AFP , PARIS
Scientists have discovered for the first time a menagerie of perfectly intact marine microorganisms trapped in tree resin at least 100 million years ago, a study said.
The unexpected find in the Charente region of southwestern France pushes back by at least 20 million years the period when a type of single-cell algae called diatoms are known to have appeared on Earth, the study said.
It also creates a mystery: How did sea creatures wind up trapped in a glob of resinated amber that oozes out of trees?
The most likely scenario, the scientists concluded, is that the forest producing the amber was very near the coast, and that the tiny organisms — which also included primitive plankton — were either carried inland by strong winds or flood waters during a storm.
"This discovery will deepen our understanding of these lost marine species as well as providing precious data about the coastal environment of western France during the Cretaceous Period," which spanned from 145 million to 65 million years ago, the researchers said in a statement.
It also challenges certain theories about the evolution of these organisms, and vindicates the research of molecular geneticists, said Jean-Paul Saint Martin, a scientist at the National History Museum in Paris and a co-author of the study.
Using "molecular clocks," biochemists move backward in time to figure out at what point in the evolutionary process certain plant and animal species split off into different branches.
"We had no record of these microorganisms over a period of 20 million years. These fossils have filled that void in the most extraordinary manner," Saint Martin told reporters.
The study, carried out in collaboration with the National Center for Scientific Research in Strasbourg, was published in the US-based Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

HAYWARD — Police are investigating a homicide after a man's body was found face down in a pool of blood behind a pizza parlor on Thursday morning.
Officers responded at 8:05 a.m. to the 400 block of West Harder Road after a passerby saw the man on the ground bleeding by a dumpster in a strip mall, Sgt. Ryan Cantrell said.
Police and firefighters arrived and found a man on the ground unresponsive and pronounced him dead at the scene.
Police were withholding the man's cause of death on Friday.
The man's identity was also being withheld pending and autopsy and notification of his next of kin, but Cantrell said he is a 68-year-old transient known to frequent Hayward.
Cantrell said detectives suspect foul play in the man's death which marked the 9th homicide in the city so far this year.

It's really only in the past year that we've come to know and admire the world's youngest female billionaire, Elizabeth Holmes. Her incredibly unusual business strategy had her flying under the radar for more than a decade as she built her revolutionary blood-testing company, Theranos.
Now Holmes is ranked No. 1 on the Silicon Valley 100, Business Insider's list of the most prominent (and coolest) people in Silicon Valley.
Ranked No. 110 on the Forbes 400 in 2014, Holmes topped the list of America's Self-Made Women in 2015 with a net worth of $4.7 billion.
Holmes was born in 1984. Considering her already incredible achievements, that in itself is surprising to many.
At just 9 years of age, Holmes wrote in a letter to her father, "What I really want out of life is to discover something new, something that mankind didn't know was possible to do."
While still in high school, Holmes completed three college Mandarin courses and sold C compilers to Chinese universities.
Holmes went to Stanford for chemical engineering, and during her time there, filed her first patent (for an advanced drug-delivery patch). She then dropped out of college just before her sophomore year.
She once traveled to Singapore to spend a summer working in the Genome Institute labs on groundbreaking SARS research.
Holmes was exceedingly private in the first 11 years of building her company. She's made a huge splash since appearing on the cover of Fortune magazine last summer.
Her company name, Theranos, is a combination of the words therapy and diagnose.
Since launching in 2003, Theranos has developed blood tests to help detect dozens of medical conditions, including high cholesterol and cancer, using just a drop or two of blood drawn from a pinprick in your finger.
Part of Holmes's inspiration came from her aversion to needles; her mother and grandmother even fainted at the sight of needles.
Holmes assembled what can be described as an all-star board of experienced and accomplished people in the corporate world: George Schultz, Bill Perry, Henry Kissinger, Sam Nunn, and Bill Frist, among others.
Holmes met Sunny Balwani, who would later become her company's COO, in Beijing the summer after her senior year of high school, during the time he was getting his MBA from Berkeley.
Holmes is often compared to visionary Steve Jobs and told Mercury News she launched her company after "thinking about what is the greatest change I could make in the world."
Like Jobs, Holmes wears a daily "uniform" of a black suit with a black cotton turtleneck.
Holmes has set her sights on more than simply dominating the blood-testing market; she wants to create a whole new market called "consumer health technology" that will see consumers more engaged in their health care.
As of last year, Holmes had 84 patents to her name (18 U.S. and 66 non-U.S.).
According to CBS News, Holmes spends every waking hour in her office and doesn't even own a TV at home.
In March this year, Holmes became the youngest person ever honored as a lifetime member by the Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans.
According to The New Yorker, Holmes "can quote Jane Austen by heart, [but] no longer devotes time to novels or friends, doesn't date, doesn't own a television, and hasn't taken a vacation in 10 years ... She is a vegan, and several times a day she drinks a pulverized concoction of cucumber, parsley, kale, spinach, romaine lettuce, and celery."
She abstains from caffeine, limits the amount of time she sleeps, and works seven days a week (Insights by Stanford Business).
Holmes is notoriously secretive, and while she's been criticized by industry peers as such, insists she must protect her technology from the prying eyes of competitors.

The gallery interactively presents new cycles of the represented artists through solo shows and puts them into an expanded context with curated joint exhibitions. In conjunction with gallery owners and curators who are friends with the gallery, the gallery program is always supplemented with further and highly topical positions.
Since the founding of the first gallery in Frankfurt/M in 1997, Leander Rubrecht has gained intensive experience in the art market as a curator and exhibition organizer and has realized well over 100 art exhibitions to date. Since August 2013, the gallery has been located in Wiesbaden, the capital of the German state of Hesse.
PontArte is a young gallery located in Maastricht, the Netherlands. At PontArte, we believe that art should be part of our everyday lives. Art makes you think, question, enjoy, laugh and get inspired. It gives a different perspective of the world we live in and it is a great conversation starter in any place, work or home. We select our artists carefully and our way of working with them and collectors is characterized by long-term personal relationships. We have contact with our artists on a frequent basis and visit all of them regularly. This makes not only that we know all of their stories and motivations first hand, but also that we always know what they are working on. We believe in collectors that look for interesting art and artists and not for big names.


RALEIGH- The N.C. Department of Transportation has closed the bridge on Old Mountain Road over Interstate 40 near Statesville today to repair the deck.
Traffic traveling north on Old Mountain Road will take Interstate 40 East to Exit 146 (Stamey Farm Road) to I-40 West back to Old Mountain Road. Traffic traveling south on Old Mountain Road will take I-40 West to Exit 141 (Sharon School Road) to I-40 East back to Old Mountain Road.
NCDOT crews will chip out the old concrete and pour in new concrete that will replace the deck. It is anticipated that lanes on I-40 will not have to be closed for this procedure. NCDOT is planning to reopen the bridge by Christmas, weather permitting; however, if the repairs are more extensive, the closure may last longer.
For more information on this project, please contact NCDOT Transportation Division 12 Bridge Maintenance Engineer Rodney Gantt at (704) 480-9029.

"The biggest beauty product to borrow from your children is sunscreen — the best anti-aging technology we have to date," says Vicky Sullivan, founder of Aspiring Socialite, a fashion and lifestyle blog. "And I'm not talking about just using it on the beach. You should apply sunscreen to your face and hands every morning, too."
Gina Layland, spa manager at Pechanga Resort & Casino, likes babies' sunscreen because it typically has fewer additives and is gentle enough to use every day on your entire body — even your face!
Dr. Kathy Taghipour is the dermatologist for Savana Urban Spa in Notting Hill and says that baby oil which "contains 98 percent mineral oil and 2 percent fragrance" is great for moisturizing and cleansing the skin of babies and grownups alike. And it works beautifully as an eye-makeup remover.
"The mineral oil won't clog pores," says Dr. Taghipour. "It's also an inert substance, so it's not going to react when it comes into contact with any other product you're using."
"Baby shampoo often incorporates amphoteric detergents as their surfactants to minimize stinging if the product should get into the eyes and because they foam up well," says dermatologist Fayne L. Frey, who is an expert on skincare formulation and skincare product ingredients.
Why shouldn't you benefit from those features, too? Baby and kid-friendly shampoos range from completely natural and unscented to brightly colored and infused with luscious scents like blueberry and bubblegum!
Cleaning baby bottoms is just one of many things wipes can do. Utilize these to clean up a sticky food court table or a germy shopping cart handle. Or use them in a pinch to remove makeup or sweat.
Alison Mitzner, an MD with a specialty in pediatrics, uses alcohol-free sanitizing wipes. "My hands no longer dry out from wipes in the winter time, and I love that they don't smell. They're great for kids, pregnant soon-to-be moms, or anyone!"
As a mom of two and founder of Satsuma Designs LLC, Jennifer Porter is surrounded by lotions and potions that are specially formulated for delicate skin. "But it's not just skin products I like to experiment with," she says. "Some of my favorite hair products come from the kids' aisle."
Porter uses "delicious smelling" hair detangler as a leave-in conditioner and says, "I love the beach hair flair I get when I 'borrow' from the kids."
This nursery staple has been around for generations. Boost the power of your deodorant with a sprinkle of baby powder. Prevent chafing from workout clothes. Or use a tiny bit as a dry shampoo on your greasy hair.
Just remember to use a talc-free baby powder for intimate areas!

"Long John" Daly: An American Icon?
After writing about the tragic ways players spend all their money, John Daly's story seems like the only reasonable way to follow that up. He is far from his glory days of smashing 390 yard drives, and going for the green in one on par fours. Yesterday he shot an 88 in the Buick Open, and admitted that he doesn't believe he can win anymore. He's lost 80 pounds since his lap-band surgery about four months ago, and also hasn't been sleeping or eating a normal diet. It's sad to see Daley losing his confidence, as he has had a Happy Gilmore like affect on the PGA tour and has been one of the funniest golfers to follow throughout my lifetime. If this is the end of his career, I'd like to thank him for everything he brought to the game, and the many lessons he taught us on how not to do things off the course.
Daly became a hero after winning the 1991 PGA Championship, and was highly celebrated on the tour for his driving distance. He sported a mullet, and had an attitude that was rarely seen in golf club houses'. It was refreshing to see a player that seemed to be the typical American with a bag full of problems like most of us. Nothing is more American than the way he could put down Jack Daniels, cocaine, and Budweiser! He once told the media that when he was 23 years old he drank a fifth of whiskey a day for that entire year. He was continually in and out of rehab for his alcoholism, and was married and divorced four times since he's been on tour (more on the ex's later).
He's a smoker and gambler as well. He once said that he doesn't lift weights because they won't let him smoke in the gym. Like many competitive athletes there is nothing better than winning, and that nearly always led John to some gambling troubles throughout his career. He estimated that he's gambled away $50 to $60 million over the past 15 or so years. He once lost his $1.5 million winnings from the WCG-American Express tournament by going to Vegas and playing on a $5,000 slot machine. With all these ups and downs we have rooted for him to pull through and give us another show or another comeback from whatever had plagued him.
His personal life was never hidden, and his struggles finding the "one" have been well documented. In the haziness of an alcoholic it's tough to make a lot of smart conscious choices, and it seems like two of his four wives weren't exactly healthy relationships. His second wife filed a lawsuit that he beat her. The charges were later dropped, and so was the marriage especially after he found out that she was ten years older than she had claimed. His fourth wife Sherrie seemed pretty sane when she attacked him with a steak knife. He showed up to the tournament the next day nice and scratched up. She plead guilty and served 5 months in prison.
It looks like the hay days may be over for JD, as he somehow doesn't have the confidence in his abilities anymore. His lap band shrunken belly has made him realize how depressing life can be. In an alcoholic blur most things seem doable, but with his limited stomach space, I don't think he can drown out those doubts like he use to. It's all finally spilled over to the golf course, and he's letting those bad holes break him down more than they ever had. He use to be able to shake them off, as he's had plenty of triple bogeys in his day. It's even more of a shame that he was playing very well over the last few months over in Europe as he was getting use to the slimmer version of himself, but it now looks like he just wasn't meant to be slim. It's a sad day for golf to lose one of the best story creators of all time! In 2008, Butch Harmon, Daly's swing coach at the time, was quoted saying "the most important thing in (Daly's) life is getting drunk". You know what, based on his resume I'd have to agree, but can you blame him? I can't, JD has had to deal with a lot over his career that would make a lot lesser of a man drink! Besides it's probably what gave us some of that extra excitement when we watch him.

The old church of the Birth of the Theotokos (Virgin Mary) is located in the centre of Deryneia. It was built in the late 15th or early 16th century. Inside, the church is decorated with beautiful wooden carved iconostasis dating from 1911.


Gamera the Brave Super Complete Works (「小さき勇者たち~ガメラ~」超全集, Chīsaki Yūsha Tachi ~Gamera~ Chō Zenshū, lit. "Little Braves ~Gamera~" Super Complete Works) is a 2006 informational book focused on Gamera the Brave.
The book was published by Shogakukan on May 20, 2006 and has 64 pages. Read from right to left, it contains information on the film's monsters, vehicles, characters, concept art and behind-the-scenes photos.

The cataloging of microforms and other reproductions has been difficult throughout the history of cataloging codes, particularly due to the "multiple versions problem." The proposed new cataloging code, Resource Description and Access (RDA), seeks to clarify the relationship between reproductions and originals by applying the principles of Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) to cataloging. While the use of FRBR principles does help to identify the relationships between works in the catalog, RDA as currently designed is challenging for the cataloger and includes many data that may prove to be difficult for catalog users to understand.


Like most other healthy and flavor-loving humans of the world, we have jumped solidly on the bandwagon of enjoying fresh juices and green smoothies. I've wholeheartedly embraced the green smoothie–I'll get the chock-full of kale, dark green, thick, grainy juices and smoothies whenever I can. In fact, sometimes I'll make smoothies that are so full of a rainbow of fruits and leafy veggies that the resulting color turns into this questionable purplish brown. It doesn't *look* appetizing to the average outsider, but it's tasty and healthy.
Luckily, I am not about to show you all pictures of a brown smoothie today.
Instead, we've got something a little bit more decadent than your run-of-the-mill cold-pressed juice. We're making basil lime avocado smoothies today. We were a bit skeptical of the basil + lime + avocado mixture at first, but the flavor combination is surprisingly complex and kind of tastes like something the coolest person you know might enjoy on a summer's day.
As for the decadent piece of the puzzle, in order to add a little extra something something, we used condensed milk as our sweetening agent and finished off the whole thing with wonderfully chewy tapioca pearls (AKA boba, AKA bubbles), because, well, why not? The condensed milk is a Vietnamese twist that lends the smoothie a deliciously rich and milky, almost custard-like texture, and bubbles are always A-okay in my book.
Boil a small pot of water. Cook the tapioca pearls per package instructions. When they're done, drain and transfer to a small bowl with a small amount of room temperature water so they don't harden and dry out.
Next, prepare your smoothie. Pile the rest of the ingredients into your blender. Blend until smooth.
In a tall glass, add a ¼ cup of tapioca pearls and pour your avocado smoothie over the top. Top with some lime zest, add a straw, and enjoy!
Hope you try these avocado smoothies today!
I love Avocado Boba Drink- I'm going to try this tonight!
One thing I usually ask my local café bar is to add Lychee Jelly to this…. that just adds another level of yumminess!
I will make anything where sweetened condensed milk is an ingredient!
basil, lime and avocado sounds more like a dip or sauce than a drink, but paired with sweetened condensed milk and boba it sounds so good! and i love how you described it as custardy ?
