The Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York City) introduces us to a beautiful vase by William De Morgan (1839–1917).
"Beasts and dogs among stylized foliate motifs in a ruby luster on an ivory ground decorate this vase by William De Morgan. A designer and master potter associated with the Arts and Crafts movement, as well as a founding member of the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society (1888), De Morgan studied at the Royal Academy Schools before leaving his studies to work for William Morris' firm Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. as a designer of stained glass and a painter of furniture panels.
"De Morgan noticed an iridescence that resulted from the firing of silver paint used in the stained-glass process, thus sparking his interest in ceramic luster glazes, for which he later became famous. His inspiration came primarily from Iznik (Turkey) and Persian ceramics as well as Italian Renaissance maiolica and sixteenth-century Hispano-Moresque wares.
"In the 1870s, De Morgan (shown here) concentrated on decorating tiles. His mastery in this area culminated in a commission to copy Sir Frederic Leighton's collection of Persian tiles for the Arab Hall at Leighton House, London, in 1879. In 1882, he moved to a larger workshop in Merton Abbey, where he produced and decorated hollowware and continued to experiment with luster glazes."
This vase was made sometime between 1888 and 1898. It was manufactured at Sands End Pottery and is 13 3/4 in. (34.9 cm) tall.
The De Morgan Centre in southwest London is a permanent home for work by William De Morgan, the Victorian ceramic artist, and his wife Evelyn, the painter. The Centre also houses an archive of papers relating to their lives and their circle, a reserve collection, and a temporary exhibition space. Visitors are welcome.

State, city promise short leash for Red Hook concrete plant
By Gary Buiso
November 18, 2009 | 12:36am
State and city officials are vowing to keep a close watch on a concrete plant once it opens in Red Hook — but those hoping for an environmental assessment before that day should expect to be disappointed.
Critics of the arrival of United States Concrete's facility to 640 Columbia Street are urging the city and the state to conduct air quality testing to determine if the plant's arrival is even suitable for the site, which stands near neighborhood ballfields and an organic farm.
"At a minimum they should take air samples at the site, and if and when the facility actually opens they should then compare those samples with samples taken after," said John McGettrick, co-chair of the Red Hook Civic Association. The waterfront locale should be a red flag, McGettrick continued. "I don't think people appreciate the wind coming off the water, which will eventually spread the cement dust into areas where people play and to the organic farm," he said.
According to the city's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), the plant will require an industrial process permit for each type of processing equipment, such as ventilation or exhaust machines, that will be employed. The equipment that has a permit is inspected when it is ready to go into use and then it is inspected every 3 years in order to renew the permit. The company also has to ensure that the piles of sand and dirt on site are sufficiently covered or sprayed with water.
"Although the particles that sometimes become airborne are heavy and tend to fall out of the airstream quickly, if we find that they are not taking enough precautions we can issue them a violation," according to Michael Saucier, a DEP spokesperson. Another option, he added, is to "cure" the issue and work with the facility to employ additional measures, such as the use of a sweeper machine. "We will monitor closely and actively," Saucier said. The company has yet to file any application materials with the DEP, he said.
The state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) does not have any statutory or permitting authority for the concrete plant. But if the plant's operations cause an air pollution nuisance, DEC could investigate complaints and, if warranted, enforce those concerns under nuisance provisions, according to agency spokesperson Maureen Wren.
For local residents like Lou Sones, that's just not good enough. "This has a tremendous potential — and most cement factories do — for harming the health of the people that use the fields and the farm." Sones suggested that Community Board 6, of which he is a member, pass a motion urging the respective agencies to safeguard the environment, even though the project is allowed to proceed as of right, meaning it is permissible under the site's manufacturing zoning. At its Nov. 10 general meeting, the board said the matter will likely be taken up at the committee level. "The use may be as of right, but the pollution it causes is not," noted Richard Bashner, chair of Board 6.
The plant will be operated by Eastern Concrete Materials, a subsidiary of Texas-based US Concrete, a publicly traded firm. Over the summer, Michael Gentoso regional vice president with US Concrete told this paper that the Red Hook plant would closely control dust, adhering to stringent safety requirements. According to fact sheet distributed by the company, the plant will operate a 24-hour business, adjusted by customer and traffic patterns in Brooklyn and Manhattan. An estimated 15-25 concrete trucks a day are expected to rumble along routes on Columbia and Bay Streets.

We're only a few weeks away from the release of Darren Aronofsky's mother!, and in the wake of the film's enigmatic trailers, Paramount is slowly unspooling information about the horror thriller that stars Jennifer Lawrence and Javier Bardem.
If you're having a little trouble figuring out what you're looking at, I don't blame you. The image is of Jennifer Lawrence's character (FYI: her character in the film is never named), and her belly reveals that she's pregnant. When the word "mother!" comes into focus on that viral site, a white circle appears in the middle of the page; click it and you can watch a clip from the film in which Michelle Pfeiffer's character talks to Lawrence about having children. Dots, consider yourselves connected.
mother! opens in theaters on September 15, 2017.

Dems Rely on Black Women Voters: But Why Can't Black Women Get Elected?
Donna Brazile writes in Ms. magazine that in the elections of 2008 and 2012, the group that turned out to vote in the highest numbers was black women. In 2012, 60 percent of 18- to 29-year-old-black women voted, and 76 percent of all black women were registered to vote. A recent Pew study found that in 2012, the voter turnout in the United States was low—53.6 percent of the estimated voting-age population. Only 65 percent of the US voting-age population even bothered to register to vote. Brazile cites "The Power of the Sister Vote" poll from Essence magazine, which indicates that the turnout will again be strong for black women in 2016, "driven by a hunger to institutionalize their gains" in:
Increased affordable health-care access
Quality education reform and access to low-cost college education
Living-wage reforms
Criminal justice reforms
But the frustration levels are high for political candidates like Donna Edwards, an African American woman who just lost the Democratic primary race for a Senate seat in Maryland. Jill Filipovic writes in the New York Times that while the Democrats rely on black female voters, only one black woman has ever been elected to the Senate. In addition, while Trump accuses Clinton of playing the "woman card," Edwards, during her primary race, was accused of playing both the "woman card" and the "race card." The implication is that these "cards" somehow confer unearned advantages to the women holding them. Yet research shows that for black women, combined stereotypes about both race and gender create double challenges for them to be perceived as competent leaders and elected, or hired, to leadership positions. Filipovic suggests that the problem, in general, is that authority, competence, and power are perceived to be male qualities. Several recent studies show that when the same résumés are shown to both male and female evaluators, the documents are rated more highly when they have a man's name, John, on the top than when the same documents have a woman's name, Jennifer, at the top. Filipovic proposes that to fight pervasive prejudices, we need to change our images of competence and power by putting more women, especially more women of color, into positions of authority and leadership so that women in authority becomes normal rather than unusual. Specifically, she says, "we can't change longstanding assumptions about what a leader looks like unless we change what leaders look like. . . . Democrats should make [the 'woman card' and the 'race card'] central components of a winning hand." She also suggests that when there are equally qualified men and women competing for positions, Democrats should champion politicians who are not white men. It's the only way that, in the long run, we are all going to win. Photo credit: Governor Votes Early. by Jay Baker at Baltimore, MD. via Maryland GovPics on Flickr]]>

Award Recognizes Professor's Pioneering Contributions to Encryption for Cloud Computing
Research in securing cloud storage conducted by a Georgia Tech professor continues to gain recognition 15-years after publication and will receive the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR) Test-of-Time Award later this year.
Sasha Boldyreva's paper that her former Ph.D. student, Adam O'Neill, presented at the Crypto 2007 conference has been cited over 1,000 times according to Google Scholar and is one of the first papers to formally study the security of efficiently searchable encryptions for cloud storage.
When Boldyreva first came to Georgia Tech she talked to database researchers and learned about the problems they had securing remote servers. Specifically, faculty were not able to search and retrieve encrypted data while also being able to maintain security.
"You want to keep your data secure, but also need to be able to retrieve it," Boldyreva said. "I was constantly getting asked if there was a way to make searchable encryption more efficient."
The standard method of encryption randomizes data to maintain security. However, database researchers found when they retrieved information from a remote server it was often scrambled in a way that couldn't be deciphered.
To work around this, database faculty used deterministic encryption as a limited solution to search and retrieve parts of remote data without losing any information in the process. This made the process easier, but much less secure. In fact, because the coded text is always the same for a given plain text message, studying the application of deterministic encryption was ignored by cryptographers at the time due to its weak security.
"What is a good deterministic scheme? No one really knew," Boldyreva said. "My Ph.D. student, my former Ph.D. advisor, and I decided to study the bigger problem of efficient searchable encryption."
The team began by formally defined the term "efficiently searchable encryption" and proposing specific cryptographic schemes to make deterministic encryption more secure. While the team's results showed deterministic encryption still posed security risks, Boldyreva said the goal was to define a starting point and allow academics to build from there.
"This has become a very hot topic in cryptography," she said. "Researchers today are targeting searchable encryption with much stronger security guarantees, but they still view our paper as a starting point."
Since the paper published in 2007, Boldyreva has continued working on searchable encryption. She recently built one of the most secure searchable encryption schemes to date with the help of her current Ph.D. students.
"This has remained my favorite area of cryptography," she said. "It is nice to receive recognition for the challenging work we put into our research."
The award will be presented at the Crypto 2022 conference in August. This is Boldyreva's second test of time award. She was also recognized in 2020 by the International Conference on Practice and Theory in Public Key Cryptography (PKC) for her work on new multi-user digital signatures in 2003.
Deterministic and Efficiently Searchable Encryption was written by Boldyreva, who currently serves as the associate chair of graduate studies at the School of Cybersecurity and Privacy, O'Neill, and Mihir Bellare, her former faculty advisor.

Fort Valley State University's Alpha Kappa Alpha Chapter Is Being Investigated for Sexual Misconduct
Sexual Health + Identity
The allegations reportedly involve students and university staff.
By Brittney McNamara
Lydia Ortiz
Authorities are investigating alleged sexual misconduct and hazing by a sorority at Georgia's Fort Valley State University, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the University System of Georgia are reportedly investigating the historically black university's Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority chapter for employee misconduct involving students and others, 11Alive reports. At least one employee is reportedly on leave. According to both 11Alive and the Journal Constitution, authorities would not comment on the nature of the investigation, but social media rumors have pointed to an alleged sex scandal within the sorority.
Alecia Johnson, a Fort Valley State employee and graduate adviser to the campus's AKA chapter, resigned as result of the alleged scandal, according to the Journal Constitution, but her lawyer, Adrian Patrick, maintains that Johnson has done nothing wrong. "You don't want to go to work every day with people saying you are a madam," Patrick said, according to the Journal Constitution. "She's been demonized by social media, but not one piece of evidence has shown what's happening."
The Washington Post reports a statement from the University System of Georgia indicates the investigation began after two reports of wrongdoing.
"On April 5, 2018, administrators from Fort Valley State University received two separate reports of alleged wrongdoing," the statement said. "One report was made anonymously as a tip on a campus complaint hotline. The second report was made separately by an employee to the campus Title IX coordinator."
AKA's national office told Teen Vogue it "has a zero-tolerance policy for hazing, member sexual misconduct, and harassment, and we take any allegations of this nature very seriously."
In a statement, the national office said, "we were appalled to learn of allegations of sexual misconduct against a Fort Valley State University employee who also is a graduate member of the sorority. We understand the person in question has been placed on administrative leave from the university. Upon learning of these allegations, we immediately contacted the university and launched an internal investigation, which is ongoing. Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority is fully cooperating with university and law enforcement officials as they investigate these allegations."
The statement added that "these allegations are in no way representative of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority's 110-year service-based mission or its nearly 300,000 members. We condemn these allegations in the strongest possible terms."
Teen Vogue has reached out to Fort Valley State University for comment.

Commenting on the inflation figures for August 2012 published today by the ONS, David Kern, Chief Economist at the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), said:"The fall in inflation in August was widely expected, following setbacks in July. Current trends suggest that inflation will be down to 2% at the end of the year, and will fall slightly below the target during 2013. There are risks however, that oil and food prices may rise in the coming months, which may put upward pressure on inflation again. Falling inflation benefits the UK economy as it reduces the squeeze on businesses and consumers and underpins domestic demand.

Rocket Lab Completes Final Launch Rehearsal Ahead of First Electron Mission from U.S. Soil
By: Rocket Lab USA, Inc. via Business Wire
With rocket and launch pad checkouts complete, Rocket Lab is ready for its first mission from U.S. soil at Launch Complex 2 in Virginia
Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (Nasdaq: RKLB) ("Rocket Lab" or "the Company"), a leading launch and space systems company, today confirmed it has completed a final launch rehearsal and is ready for lift-off for its first mission from U.S. soil as early as December 7. The mission will take place from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 2 at Virginia Space's Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport within NASA's Wallops Flight Facility – a launch pad developed to support U.S. Electron missions for government and commercial customers.

Known as a Wet Dress Rehearsal, this pre-launch exercise sees the launch team carry out the same activities and procedures they will conduct on launch day to ensure the Electron rocket, launch pad, and supporting systems are ready for flight. As part of the rehearsal, Electron was rolled out to the launch pad and raised vertically before it was loaded with fuel and liquid oxygen to verify fuelling procedures. The launch team then conducted a full launch countdown, ending before the final step of engine ignition of Electron's Rutherford engines. Electron was then detanked of fuel and returned to Rocket Lab's Integration and Control Facility (ICF) at the Wallops Research Park to await launch during a window that extends from December 7 – 20.
The "Virginia Is For Launch Lovers" mission will deploy three satellites for radio frequency geospatial analytics provider HawkEye 360, with integration of those satellites to Electron taking place in the coming days at Rocket Lab's ICF. Meanwhile, NASA is continuing to make progress in certifying its Autonomous Flight Termination System (AFTS) software required for the launch. This will be the first time an AFTS will be flown from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport, representing a valuable new capability for the nation.
While "Virginia Is For Launch Lovers" will be Electron's first launch from the U.S., Rocket Lab has already conducted 32 Electron missions from Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand, delivering 152 satellites to orbit for customers including NASA, the National Reconnaissance Office, DARPA, the U.S. Space Force and a range of commercial constellation operators. Electron is already the most frequently launched small orbital rocket globally and now with the capacity of the pads at Launch Complex 1 and 2 combined, Rocket Lab has more than 130 Electron launch opportunities every year.
The "Virginia Is For Launch Lovers" mission will be the first of three Electron launches for HawkEye 360 in a contract that will see Rocket Lab deliver 15 satellites to low Earth orbit between late 2022 and 2024. These missions will grow HawkEye 360's constellation of radio frequency monitoring satellites, enabling the company to better deliver precise geolocation of radio frequency emissions anywhere in the world.
"This mission is a significant moment for Rocket Lab and a pivotal milestone for Virginia's long legacy in spaceflight," said Rocket Lab CEO and founder, Peter Beck. "With wet dress rehearsal now complete, we're excited to move into launch operations for this historic mission."
"We are honored to support the launch of this historic mission," said Ted Mercer, CEO and Executive Director of Virginia Space. "In addition to being Rocket Lab's first and only U.S. launch location, we will also be building rockets and processing their payload right here in Accomack County – something that has never been done in Virginia. Our partnership with Rocket Lab is a unique opportunity for the Commonwealth of Virginia to create long-term economic development opportunities in the form of high-paying jobs, launch viewing tourism, and construction of new facilities on the Eastern Shore."
Where to watch launch:
Launch fans eager to watch Electron take to Virginia skies for the first time can visit viewing locations including Robert Reed Park on Main Street or Beach Road spanning the area between Chincoteague and Assateague Islands. The Virginia, Maryland and Delaware Atlantic beaches also provide good viewing locations. The NASA Visitor Center at Wallops will be open for this launch. A live launch webcast will also be available at www.rocketlabusa.com/live-stream from around T-40 minutes.
Media may apply for credentials to cover the launch by emailing a request to media@rocketlabusa.com

Finish it off with a dollop of sour cream, some freshly chopped cilantro, and a drizzle of Original BBQ sauce!

Pennsylvania dealer Andy Gabler has resigned as president of the National Independent Automotive Dealers Association, effective immediately.
ARLINGTON, Texas — The National Independent Automobile Dealers Association announced it has received an official notice from its president, Andy Gabler, dated Jan. 31, resigning his post effective immediately.
Gabler is the owner of Lakeside Auto, which operates three dealerships in Western Pennsylvania's Erie County. All three rooftops and Gabler's home were searched as part of an FBI raid Wednesday. Gabler told a local news team his business had "financial difficulties," according to YourErie.com, but declined to comment further. GoErie.com reports Gabler's group is in receivership following a request from S&T Bank, which appears to be Lakeside's floorplan financier.

Q: iOS In-App purchase code crashes sometimes (Swift) I followed this tutorial to add In-App purchase (IAP) in my iOS app. Good tutorial, the purchasing part works.
However, if I return from the UIViewController that contains the IAP code too quickly, the app crashes, sometimes (without any proper log).
The SKProductsRequest is wrapped in dispatch_async but that doesn't seem to help.
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(QOS_CLASS_USER_INITIATED, 0)) { [unowned self] in
    ...
    productRequest.delegate = self
    productRequest.start()
}

Then calling the UI update on the main thread.
func productsRequest(request: SKProductsRequest, didReceiveResponse response: SKProductsResponse) {
    if response.products.count != 0 {
        print("This doesn't get printed when CRASH happens.")
    }
    ...
    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) { [unowned self] in
        self.tableView.reloadData()
    }

Any tips on fixing this?

Was wondering the same or even better if all layouts could be downloaded and tried offline or online on private host.

Are the 2 races on same layout or on 2 different ones ?

Congratulations to Jam 616 for winning the first race of the series!
If u want to have some more participants from European time zones, having the race event starting 2-3 hours earlier would do the trick. Now it is okeyish for UK time zone, barely okey for central european time zone and not feasible for east european time zone. Also heard in discord that for many in eastern standard time zone, current event starting time is usual dinner time. This conflict would be solved also by moving the event start time. And moving it earlier would make it possible more Europeans to join the event.


Perfect seller, arrived on time as as described. Perfect!
top man, pleasure to do business with!
Exlnt to buy off true man of his word..
Top seller, everything was as described. cheers.
good seller , prompt service.
Top bloke thanks steve appreciate all the help.


Choose your journey: You're in a discussion about depression and you have to express your opinion about it. Will you (a) respond passively, (b) discuss its reality, or (c) say that it's "gawa-gawa lang"?
There's no arguing that one can easily say that (b) is the right choice. However, we can argue that not everyone will think the same way—worse, some will choose not to give a damn at all. Yet passivity isn't the worst case scenario as there are some who will choose the thoughtless "gawa-gawa lang" option (yes, we're pointing at you, Joey De Leon). Mental illnesses, like depression, aren't something we can shrug off and see as something one can overcome by positive thinking—because, in reality, it's not all in the mind.
Mental health, according to the World Health Organization, is a state of wellbeing where we realize our own potential which "can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to their community." So, the wellbeing of mental health is every individual's human right, whether young or old, rich or poor. But what happens when ignorance in mental health and prejudice to its patients collide? Simple—stigmas spark.
Prejudices against people with mental illnesses have become prevalent, reveals a research published in the British Journal of Psychiatry entitled Stigmatisation of people with mental illnesses. The most negative opinion claims that people with mental illnesses are "dangerous"—the wrong sort of thinking that leads people to deep isolation and distress. More than that, the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) in Singapore found through a study that nine out of 10 believe that mental health patients could get better if they just wanted to—as if mental health is controllable. Comprised of 3,000 respondents, the researchers said that mental health patients may avoid seeing a doctor because of the shame and deterrence brought by the stigma.
The truth is, stigma acts like a tiny spark in a dry forest—igniting a wildfire that ashes a mental health patient's self-esteem and self-efficacy. And this type of stereotyping has become common in the Philippine context, as depression and other mental illnesses are falsely viewed as a matter of "gawa-gawa lang".
For some, it's easy to stigmatize those who suffer mentally. Comments like "huwag mong lapitan 'yan, baliw 'yan" or "it's their choice naman kung magiging better sila o hindi" are pervasive. That's the thing—people assume that mental health is all mind over matter as if it's a choice to make, however what few understand is that many mental illnesses aren't all in the mind as physiological factors like hormones and genetics refute this slurring mentality.
A key example is the fact that depressed people experience "hyperactivity" in a portion of the brain called Brodmann Area 25. This makes a person experience various physical and psychological symptoms, including the overwhelming feeling of sadness and the loss of interest on anything, including tasks a person usually enjoys. Symptoms likewise constitute an abrupt change in appetite, sleep irregularity, energy loss, and increased fatigue—episodes that aren't clearly just made-up for self-pity drama, as others might assume.
Sadly, apart from difficulties in concentration and decision-making, the long rope of symptoms can oftentimes lead to suicidal thoughts due to the feeling of insignificance, guilt, and regret. Other suicide cases are linked to the decreased concentration of serotonin in the brain, a chemical essential for the overall feeling of well-being. Suffice to say, mental illnesses aren't always about what and how a person thinks as biology proves that it doesn't solely grow from one's thoughts, and it can't be cured by only thinking it can be.
Consequently, we can help people overcome depression and other mental ailments by supporting them all the way through to healing, especially if it's the best that we can do.
Lead by Amy Bleuel, who has a small semicolon tattoo on her wrist in honor of her father who took his own life, the movement began small just like the symbol that represents it. But, with the help of social media, it soon grew viral—and rightly so.
Fortunately, Project Semicolon has reached the Philippines—keeping the mission of suicide prevention and mental health awareness ablaze on social media through Facebook profile picture filters and Twitter hashtags. Recently, #keepgoing, a campaign started by Nadine Lustre, became trending online after her brother reportedly took his own life. Supported by chiliad social media users including famous celebrities and supportive fans, the trend became a movement for the compassion and care for suicidal people. In a nation where stigma seems like a norm, it's a breath of fresh air that many individuals, especially millennials, are with the trend of self-awareness of mental health—producing new manifold advocates.
Aiming to intensify consciousness about the bill, the advocates' primary priority is the Mental Health Act of 2017 (Senate Bill No. 1354). Its goal is to ensure that all Filipinos are mentally healthy through an efficient mental health care system, while promoting mental health and protecting patients. "The bill also mandates the government to put up basic mental health services at the community level," Senator Risa Hontiveros, the principal sponsor of the bill, explained. "And psychiatric, psychosocial and neurologic services in all regional, provincial, and tertiary hospitals." Unfortunately, though already approved by the Senate, the Mental Health Bill has been pending in the House of Representatives since May. On the other hand, the House has okayed the Comprehensive Mental Health Act (House Bill Number 6452), which covers the rights of mental health patients, including drug-dependent individuals who may turn out to be mentally ill.
According to Dr. Lourdes Ignacio of Philippine Psychiatric Association, one in every three Filipinos have mental health problems—that's equivalent to more than 28.48 million Filipinos suffering mentally. The WHO lists depression as the top cause of ill health and disability worldwide—more than 300 million people are suffering from depression. In the Philippines alone, over 4.5 million cases of depression were reported, making it as Southeast Asian country with the highest incidence of depression. These are but a few of why mental health advocates seek for the fast legislation of the MH Act—it's a step onwards for the best of both the mentally ill and the unaware.
Perhaps, after reading this article, you'll never look at mental health and mental health patients the same way again. Hopefully, gone are the stigmatizing jokes and the "gawa-gawa lang" mentality. Besides, this is no laughing matter.
If you have chosen (b) as your journey, then congratulations—you chose the path that's doubtlessly right. But if not, then it's time to correct the error—after all, it's the henyo thing to do.

Jecosh es un sitio arqueológico ubicado en la Provincia de Recuay, Distrito de Ticapampa, aproximadamente sobre los 3,649msnm.

Descripción
Este monumento histórico se halla ubicado en Castillo Pampa, terreno macizo, consistente, plano y amplio, comprensión del Caserío de Poccrac, Distrito de Ticapampa, Provincia de Recuay, donde se observan construcciones subterráneas con muchas ramificaciones o laberinto; primeramente cabe destacar la existencia de un Castillo pequeño construido a base de piedras; tal vez haya sido un mirador o un balcón sagrado de allí el nombre de Castillo Pampa; al lado del castillo hay construcciones estratégicas subterráneas en forma de cruz que señala los cuatro puntos cardinales: Norte, Sur, Este y Oeste; otras construcciones subterráneas están al lado este y oeste del Castillo.

Antecedentes
Según la tradición popular, relatos que hacían nuestros antepasados, que en el centro de este Castillo Pampa existen construcciones subterráneas que rodean a una pequeña plaza circular y una pileta de oro botando agua pura; se duda de su existencia.

Otro relato popular es referente a las piedras de gran tamaño movibles tendidas en fila que venían con destino a esta ruina como se ve en los lugares como: Mismi, Kaka Cancha Matara y Chacay Pampa, que dichas piedras rodaban por poder sobrehumano con destino a Castillo Pampa para construir una ciudadela grande como Chavín de Huántar, pero por acciones bélicas con los habitantes de las ruinas de Rapish - Cátac se quedó en el camino; estas piedras se observa caminando por camino de herradura que pasa por el Caserío de Poccrac con dirección a la laguna Querococha, otro lugar más estratégico es el cerro de Cochapampa que queda al este de las ruinas de Jecosh de donde se observa el panorama de esas piedras en hilera.

Características
El área de la ruina es grande, lo que le caracteriza es su arquitectura, por la manera que hayan recolectado infinidad de piedras medianas para levantar la estructura, rectangular y circular, que se ve superpuestas artísticamente, y las lajas para el techado, lo que a la fecha desafían al tiempo y a las inclemencias de la naturaleza.

Al este del Castillo hay un otero llamado KUMUSH PUNTA, donde existe un cementerio, construcciones superficiales; según tradición era un lugar estratégico en casos de guerra.

Las ruinas de JEKOSH tenía un canal de irrigación que venían desde las aguas de Querococha lo cual se ve claramente que parte de una asequia cerca de la laguna pasa por Cruz Punta, cruza los riachuelos de MISMI y MATARA, luego trascurriendo su curso por PACHAN CANCHA, CHACAY PUNCU, TEMBLADERA llegando a CASTILLO PAMPA para el consumo humano y para regar esas inmensas pampas de JEKOSH.

Las ruinas de Jekosh recibe a través de los años visitas de los escolares, profesores, personas naturales.

Al hacer referencia de las ruinas no se está exagerando o ponderando más allá de la verdad a excepción de dos relatos que se han considerado, por lo que no dejemos de visitar los atractivos compartimientos subterráneos de los cuales muchos se han obstruido.

Meet Young Dairy Cattle Judge Tanille Hughes (WA)
May 26, 2021 | Judging, WA | 0 comments
Representing Western Australia: Tanille Hughes (19)
Tanille is the Western Australian state finalist at the 2021 Agricultural Shows Australia National Young Judges finals held at the Royal Queensland Show. Agricultural Shows of Australia sat down with Tanille to hear how school influenced her successful dairy cattle judging journey.
I graduated from the Western Australia College of Agriculture Harvey in 2019. In year 12 my focus was on both beef and dairy cattle however, I enjoyed all other aspects that the school had to offer. I come from an agriculture district, Harvey, so I have a respect and understanding for the processes and hard work that goes into this industry.
At Harvey Ag they offered cattle club as an afterschool activity. At cattle club we learned how to handle dairy cattle and prepare them from shows. We were taught how to halter brake, lead, wash and clip cattle, as well as judging. From there the school took us to agricultural shows in the surrounding areas where we would compete in handlers, as well as the cows own sections. We also competed in dairy cattle judging competitions at the shows that offered it. The shows we went to were the Harvey Agricultural show, The Perth Royal Show and The Brunswick Agricultural Show.
Next year I'm planning to go to Murdoch University to study animal science and animal health. I see myself working in the agriculture industry with cattle. I'm interested in the genetics and breeding of cattle and the impacts they have on the livestock, so this could lead to a job with Farm West or managing a farm.
I first competed in 2017 at the Harvey Agriculture show where my cow placed first in the All Australian Calf Class. From there I competed at all the shows the school had to offer from 2017 -19. In 2019 while competing at the Harvey Agriculture Show I placed 2nd in the Dairy Cattle judges competition where I qualified for the State title in Dairy Cattle judging. The state title was held at the Perth Royal show that year were I was lucky enough to win the state title and qualify for Nationals. I started competing because I was interested in it and wanted to put what I had learnt from Cattle Club in to practice and being at Harvey Ag, I was able to do this.
My Animal Productions teacher from Harvey, Mr Peter Gelmi, as well as the Cattle Club teacher at the time, Mrs Veronica Morris, got me into the coemptions and shows. I had always shown an interest and a passion for agriculture so I decide that I wanted to make it my focus of study and my future career.
Interestingly, I don't eat red meat a lot. I love chicken though.
My favourite show would be the Brunswick Agricultural Show, because I felt that there was more of an opportunity for me to show my skills that I have obtained during my time at Harvey Ag. The show was more dairy based and that is the part of agriculture I enjoy.
My two favourite moments from shows include at the Brunswick Agriculture Show, when I was in year 10, I placed first in my handlers class where I was up against 20 people. From there I competed in the grand champion class which I won and became the youngest person from Harvey Ag to win this title. Another great moment was winning the state title at the Royal Show, it was a chance to redeem myself from my previous show where I failed hard.
A funny moment was when I was at the Brunswick show where my cow would not cooperate. She jumped up on me twice as well as dropping on the floor.
My achievements during my studies at Harvey Ag:
2017 Brunswick Agricultural Show include first place in dairy cattle handling and overall grand champion for dairy cattle handling. Here I qualified for the state title at the following years Perth Royal show for dairy handling.
2018 WA Youth Cattle Handlers Camp, I made top 9 for Cattle dairy judging o Qualified for state title held at the royal show that year for dairy cattle judging Perth Royal Show and competed for state title in both dairy cattle handling and judging. Didn't place in either but I tried my very best.
2018 Brunswick Agricultural Show I gained second place in dairy cattle handling and qualified for state title for dairy cattle handling held at the Perth Royal Show the following year
2018 Albany Agricultural Show I won second place in dairy cattle handling, was ranked in the top sevem in dairy cattle judging, gained fourth place in beef cattle judging and qualified for dairy handling, dairy judging and beef judging for the state title held at the Perth Royal show the following year
2019 Wagin Woolorama I was awarded eighth place in wool judging and qualified for state title held at the Perth Royal Show that year for wool judging
2019 Harvey Agricultural Show I was awarded third place in dairy cattle handling, second place dairy cattle judging and qualified for state title in dairy cattle handling and dairy judging held at the Perth Royal show that year
2019 Perth Royal Show I competed for state title in beef cattle judging, wool judging and dairy cattle handling. I achieved first place in state title for dairy cattle judging
2019 Brunswick Agricultural Show I was awarded fourth place in dairy cattle handling Albany Agricultural show, second place in dairy cattle parading, first place Merino wool judging and qualified for state title in dairy cattle parading and wool judging held at the Perth Royal Show 2020.
At the Bussleton Agricultural show in 2019 as well as the Albany Agricultural show that same year I was Bussleton privileged enough to be an associate judge in the dairy sections at both shows where I learnt a lot from the judge.
Agricultural Shows Australia wishes Tanille all the best at the Ekka.

HERBERT ALLEN GILES was born in Oxford on 18th December 1845, the fourth son of John Allen Giles (1808-1884), an Anglican clergyman and Fellow of Corpus Christi College. His father had doctrinal differences with the Church and served a term in prison for a minor infraction of ecclesiastical law. As a consequence he was obliged to make ends meet with his pen, producing a stream of publications, many of a decidedly utilitarian nature, such as a series of "cribs" of Greek and Latin texts for schoolboys. It was as a contributor to the latter that Herbert Giles made his earliest foray into the world of letters. His later agnosticism and anti-clericalism no doubt had their origins in his father's ordeal at the hands of the Church of England.
Giles' failure to rise high in the Service is to a great extent attributable to his distinctly "undiplomatic" personality. He did not "suffer fools gladly", and expressed in print views on controversial matters that were at variance with official policy and received opinion at home. He also became embroiled in a number of diplomatic contretemps, which resulted in his transferral and no doubt blighted his career. Fortunately, however, he had time and abundant energy to devote to Chinese research and publication, with the result that when he retired on health grounds (at the age of 47) after 25 years' service he had established a reputation as a sinologist which enabled him, despite his lack of formal qualifications, to advance to one of the most prestigious academic posts in Chinese studies. The Chair of Chinese at Cambridge had been vacant since the death in 1895 of its first incumbent, Giles' old chief and enemy Sir Thomas Wade, who had been appointed shortly after the gift of his collection of Chinese books to the University Library. Giles was unanimously elected on 3rd December 1897.
There were no other sinologists at Cambridge and his students were very few; indeed not until 1903 was Chinese fully recognised as a subject fit for the Tripos examination. Giles was therefore free to spend his time amongst the Chinese books presented by Wade, of which he became Honorary Keeper, publishing what he gleaned from his wide reading. He finally retired in 1932 and died, in his ninetieth year, on 13th February 1935.
Giles' published legacy may be divided into four broad categories: reference works, language textbooks, translations and miscellaneous writings. He tells us that of all his publications he was most proud of his Chinese-English Dictionary (1892; 2nd ed. 1912) and Chinese Biographical Dictionary (1898). Today the Dictionary is most often cited as the locus classicus of the so-called "Wade-Giles" romanisation system, for which the name of Giles is widely known even to non-specialists. The language textbooks are today of purely antiquarian interest.
Giles' translations are of the most catholic nature, ranging from San zi jing 三字经 (1900; 2nd ed. 1910) through Fo guo ji 佛国记 (1877; 2nd ed. 1923) to Zhuang-zi 庄子 (1889; 2nd ed. 1926) and Xi yuan lu 洗冤录 (1924). Probably the best known today are the anthologies of prose and verse Gems of Chinese Literature (1884; 2nd ed. 1922) and Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio (1878; 3rd ed. 1916), still the largest collection of stories from Liao zhai zhi yi 聊斋志异 available in English. His insistence on retaining rhyme in his verse translations, though sound in theory, gives them nowadays an antiquated flavour. In his prose translations he sometimes glosses over a difficulty by simple omission, without notifying the reader, but his style is fluent and robust, and has worn better than his verse.
Giles was notorious as a merciless critic of the work of fellow toilers in sinology, and in his journalistic writing, for which there was a ready outlet in the flourishing English-language press in China, he took delight in excoriating others for their mistranslations. Paradoxically, it is this miscellaneous and "ephemeral" writing which now seems most likely to have permanent value and interest. An example is Chinese Sketches (1876), containing observations based on nine years' residence in China on such varied topics as dentristry, etiquette, gambling, pawnbrokers, slang, superstitions and torture.
As a polemicist, Giles expressed particularly strong views on female infanticide in China (which he disbelieved), opium addiction (which he deemed preferable to alcoholism), and missionary work in China (which he considered undesirable and unnecessary). The expression of such opinions naturally made him many enemies, but once seized of a conviction he refused to change his mind. This applied to small matters as well as great; an example is his heated argument with James Legge on the authenticity of the Lao-zi 老子, in the pages of the China Review.
Giles was a complex and contradictory personality. Ruthless with his pen, he was the soul of kindness to a friend in need. He dedicated the third edition of Strange Stories (1916) to his seven grandchildren, but at the end of his life was on speaking terms with only one of his surviving children. An ardent agnostic, he was at the same time an enthusiastic freemason. He was by all accounts a convivial companion and clubman, but never became a Fellow of his College, despite holding a Professorship for 35 years. Notwithstanding his reputation for abrasiveness, he would speak to anyone in the street "from the Vice-Chancellor to a crossing-sweeper", and was remembered by acquaintances as a man of great personal charm.


Built upon the encouraging results of last year, the 4th edition of NATO Cyber Defence Smart Defence Projects Conference (CD SDP), "NATO–EU Cooperative Cyber Defence Capability Building", was held on 19 April at the Military Academy in Lisbon (PRT).
Built upon the encouraging results of last year, the 4th edition of NATO Cyber Defence Smart Defence Projects Conference (CD SDP), "NATO–EU Cooperative Cyber Defence Capability Building", was held on 19 April at the Military Academy in Lisbon (Portugal), with a focus on how smart defence, pooling and sharing can foster cooperation, transformation and innovation.
RADM Chief of Staff Thomas Daum and Mr. Jean-Paul Massart, Education and Training Service Line Chief, were part of the debating panels and represented the Agency at the event – intended as an opportunity to explore new ideas towards a more synergetic approach between all the NATO Cyber Defence Smart Defence Projects. With that view, enhancing cooperation with industry and academia to transformation, innovation and capability building and reinforcing the NATO-EU complementarity of efforts on the field of Cyber Security and Cyber Defence were discussed – cyber being a key area of cooperation under the common set of proposals endorsed by NATO and EU Councils on 6 December 2016.
Commenting on the value of NATO-EU cooperation in a digital era marked by a rapidly evolving threat landscape, Dr Daum put forward the idea of making the NCI Academy - the education and training hub for NATO's Digital Endeavour - a "shared lighthouse", serving as a focal point for the NATO-EU collaboration on the field of Education Training Exercises and Evaluation (ETE) and the main source of high quality Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) and Cyber Training for the two organizations.
In light of the commonality of tech used, threats shared and set of forces available, a transformational initiative of key importance would then be the establishment of "joint cyber 'career paths'" – to be coordinated between the EU and NATO so as to make deployment to both organizations easy.
"Through the idea of the cyber 'career path' […] and the Academy as a focal point of joint NATO-EU training we will significantly strengthen a mission that both the EU and NATO share – defending our citizens against a new generation of threats," emphasized Dr Daum.
The diversity and scope of participants' knowledge, profiles and expertise - from civilian to military backgrounds, from government to private sectors, from national to International participants – proved crucial to a rich and intense discussion, which provided lots of food for thought on the next steps NATO and the EU need to make together towards a unified and coordinated Cyber Security and Defence posture.
The summary of the conference is available here.


After decades of economic integration and EU enlargement, the economic geography of Europe has shifted, with new peripheries emerging and the core showing signs of fragmentation. This book examines the paths of the core and peripheral countries, with a focus on their diverse productive capabilities and their interdependence. Crisis in the European Monetary Union: A Core-Periphery Perspective provides a new framework for analysing the economic crisis that has shaken the Eurozone countries. Its analysis goes beyond the short-term, to study the medium and long-term relations between `core' countries (particularly Germany) and Southern European `peripheral' countries. The authors argue that long-term sustainability means assigning the state a key role in guiding investment, which in turn implies industrial policies geared towards diversifying, innovating and strengthening the economic structures of peripheral countries to help them thrive. Offering a fresh angle on the European crisis, this volume will appeal to students, academics and policymakers interested in the past, present and future construction of Europe.

WHEREAS, Highly Effective Educators should address: recruiting and retaining high-impact educators, and providing relevant professional development for teachers and administrators; and
WHEREAS, Equitable and Adequate Funding should address: providing funding to school districts based on the local need, stabilizing State budgets, generally, and education funding specifically, and enhancing school district flexibility to increase financial efficiency; and
WHEREAS, it is imperative that any education improvement proposal for comprehensive change must be developed and supported by not only the education community, but in collaboration with parents, communities, businesses, and others whose priorities reflect the best interests of the students; therefore

Why some Mount Sinai doctors do not have a star rating.
This can be for several reasons, including:
The provider has not yet received the minimum number of patient satisfaction surveys to be eligible for display. At Mount Sinai, and consistent with industry standards, we require a minimum of 30 surveys before we post results to ensure that the rating is statistically reliable and a true reflection of patient experience.
He or she may be a researcher or other type of provider that does not see patients.
The provider practices in a specialty or office that does not use the specified surveys currently used for these ratings.
Patient Experience Star Ratings
At Mount Sinai, our mission is to provide exceptional patient care. To help patients feel more confident about their choice of doctors, we provide patient experience star ratings based on information collected by an independent organization, Press Ganey, which surveys hundreds of thousands of our patients every year. We hope this information will help you choose the doctor that is right for you.
What is the "Patient Experience Star Rating?"
The Patient Experience Star Rating reflects our patients' perception of how well their Mount Sinai physician communicated with them during an office visit. The Star Rating is based on patient responses to three questions on the Clinician & Group CAHPS (CG-CAHPS) Survey, a standardized questionnaire developed for use by Medicare:
During this visit, did this provider explain things in a way that was easy to understand?
During this visit, did this provider listen carefully to you?
Would you recommend this provider's office to your family and friends?
Who receives a CG-CAHPS patient survey?
Patients are randomly selected to receive a survey, either via mail or email, in which they are asked to provide feedback about their experience. That feedback is shared with physicians and medical practice leaders to help us improve and to recognize exceptional physicians.
How is the rating calculated?
The star rating is calculated using the industry standard methodology to ensure validity and reliability.
Mount Sinai Doctors
Mount Sinai Doctors are employed full and part-time faculty members of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, members of the Mount Sinai Clinically Integrated Network (CIN), and members of the Mount Sinai Independent Practice Association (IPA). These doctors are a central component of the Mount Sinai Health System's patient-centered mission, across all aspects of patient care, research, and medical education.
