EVERYONE'S LOOKING OUT FOR YOU, SAY MESSRS. BURKE and SPINA
Imagine a community where people are concerned about your happiness in the most affectionate ways. Today, with smartphone-induced isolation the norm, that world full of solicitous people seems like a dream. I don't know if it was truly possible in the middle Thirties, although I think of Wilder's OUR TOWN, but a charming pop song came out of that vision: one of those simple but memorable melodies with witty sweet lyrics ("who prints / blueprints" is very clever). As you see below, music by Harold Spina and words by Johnny Burke.
I would have liked to hear Miss Etting sing this. But we have, instead, a sweet version with the verse (as sung by Kay Weber, Ray Eberle, and the Dorsey Trio — backed by the Dorsey Brothers Orchestra, the emphatically swinging Ray McKinley — echoing Stan King's accents — moving it all along):
And here's the masterful version I heard some decades ago and still love. This song obviously appealed to Fats, who keeps referring to the bridal march, and the last sixteen bars are a model of great delicate swing:
Here is the only "modern" version that — to me — can follow Fats (Rebecca Kilgore, Chris Dawson, Hal Smith, and Bobby Gordon):
Some readers may wish to point out more recent versions by McCartney and Clapton. Thanks, but no thanks. But if you want to muse on the vagaries of pop music, listen — if you can — to the versions by Johnny Angel and Joy and Dave, found on YouTube. Don't say I didn't warn you. And thank the milkman if you're up early.

GETTING SENTIMENTAL WITH JANICE DAY (November 8, 2015)
One of the real pleasures of the 2014 and 2015 Mike Durham Classic Jazz Party is getting to hear the delightful song stylist Janice Day at length. She has her own style, and that's a very good thing: a kind of delicate intensity that harks back to the girlish singers of the Twenties without being a copy of their most recognizable gestures. She's instantly appealing — without trying too hard.
Here's a sweet vignette from this year's Party — with Janice in front of a small band: solos by Matthias Seuffert and Duke Heitger, over a rhythm section of Keith Nichols, Henry Lemaire, Richard Pite, and Nicholas Ball. The song is a 1938 pop hit by Johnny Burke and James V. Monaco, who wrote consistently for Bing Crosby's films, ON THE SENTIMENTAL SIDE:
I think that Billie Holiday's version has made the deepest impression, but for a song to have been recorded by Bing, Billie, and Louis (his version at a much brisker tempo) in the same year says something about its tender qualities. Here's Janice's sweet exploration — under three minutes, but she gets her sentimental message across with ease and clarity. Beneath the glamour, there's a deeply engaging artist:
I will be sharing more of Janice's music in the weeks to come — but you can also visit her Facebook page and the website devoted to her collaborations with the wonderful pianist Martin Litton, here. On that site, you can see a number of charming videos of Janice and Martin in performance — several of which I was fortunate enough to record. More to come!

DAWN LAMBETH: MOONBEAMS AT MONTEREY
POLKA DOTS AND MOONBEAMS, by Johnny Burke and Jimmy Van Heusen, was Frank Sinatra's first big hit record.
Although the lyrics take odd turns — initially one stumbles over the idea of a "pug-nosed dream" as the brand-new Love Object, it remains an endearing song. Lester Young, Clifford Brown, Paul Desmond, Glenn Miller, and Wes Montgomery recorded it, among others.
The song seemed especially endearing this past March when Dawn Lambeth sang it during a Van Heusen tribute set at Dixieland Monterey / Jazz Bash by the Bay, accompanied by Yve Evans and friends.
One of my favorite singers, Dawn is a sophisticated artist who manages to make the dream-castles she creates seem real, withour straining. Easy and casual; she summons up deep emotions without feeling the need to act them out. A performance by Dawn lingers in the memory with sweet swing. Her song winds its way into our hearts.
Incidentally, the song has a verse that no one sings — a very brief prelude to introduce the story of love found in a garden:
Would you care to hear the strangest story? / At least it may seem strange to you. / If you saw it in a moving picture / You would say it couldn't be true.
But Dawn makes it perfectly true.

SERENE EARTHLY MUSIC: REBECCA KILGORE and KEITH INGHAM at JAZZ at CHAUTAUQUA (Sept. 22, 2012)
For me, this was one of the high points of the long jubilant weekend that was the 2012 Jazz at Chautauqua — the duet of Rebecca Kilgore and Keith Ingham on the Jimmy Van Heusen – Johnny Burke song, IT'S ALWAYS YOU.
Keith's sweet harmonies, his rhythmic steadiness, his intuitive sense of the right notes — he is a brilliant accompanist — go so well alongside Rebecca's convincing underacting, her gentle sincerity, her creamy tone and delicate rubatos.
And, like all great art, it looks easier than it really is.
Thank you, Keith and Rebecca. This gracious fervent music touches the heart.

WARM YET COOL: BOB REITMEIER and KEITH INGHAM at JAZZ AT CHAUTAUQUA (September 21, 2012)
I had never seen these two singular musicians in duet before, but this set at the 2012 Jazz at Chautauqua was a highlight: clarinetist Bob Reitmeier bringing his own cool clear-toned lyricism alongside Keith Ingham's more impassioned orchestral creations, rocking or pensive.
Berlin's PUTTIN' ON THE RITZ, which summons up Fred Astaire:

There's a good deal of summer's-not-over frolic here, but with an awareness that the leaves are starting to turn. And I can look out my window and see the trees weighed down by a November mini-blizzard; I suggest we turn away from the Weather Channel and find our comfort and elation in the beautiful music.

MORE CONVERSATIONS: HARRY ALLEN and ROSSANO SPORTIELLO at SMALLS (April 12, 2012)
Posted on April 22, 2012 | 1 comment
It was a CD release party — and the CD, a series of duets devoted to the songs for which Johnny Burke wrote the lyrics, is called CONVERSATIONS:
But the conversations weren't going on among the audience — they were appropriately reverent — nor were they restricted to the round piece of plastic in the sleeve above. No, tenorist Harry and pianist Rossano were exchanging ideas, sweet and swinging, at the highest artistic and emotional level.
Here's the second set:
The Rodgers and Hart THIS CAN'T BE LOVE, not too fast:
A wondrous reading of BUT BEAUTIFUL:
In praise of couplehood! JUST YOU, JUST ME:
A high point of the evening for me — one of those performances that stays in the heart — SOME OTHER SPRING, both melancholy and serene:
A BLUES that summoned up Basie and Dave McKenna, Ben, Zoot, and Al:
And — to close — a positively exuberant RUNNIN' WILD:
About that CD.
The best way (as I write this) to purchase a copy of the CD is to encounter Harry or Rossano on a gig — pleasure redoubled. But it's now also available at iTunes and CD Baby — click here — or, contact Harry here or Rossano there and either gentleman will find a way to get a copy to you. It is worth it, I assure you.
P.S. Starting on Friday, April 20, 2012, I will be watching and hearing Harry and Rossano and two dozen other jazz masters play and sing at the Atlanta Jazz Party . . . hope to meet some of my readers there!

CONVERSATIONS: HARRY ALLEN and ROSSANO SPORTIELLO, PART ONE (Smalls, April 12, 2012)
Great conversationalists have something memorable to tell us; they know how to be still; they listen deeply; they encourage everyone around them.
Musically, Harry Allen (tenor sax) and Rossano Sportiello (piano) are exemplary models of this art, and they proved it beautifully on April 12, 2012, in two sets at Smalls Jazz Club (183 West Tenth Street, Greenwich Village, New York City).
The occasion was a CD release party in honor of the Allen-Sportiello duo — a tribute to lyricist Johnny Burke, a great friend of Harry's father, and the man who contributed so much to American popular song. Think of PENNIES FROM HEAVEN, IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU, SWINGIN' ON A STAR, MOONLIGHT BECOMES YOU, OH YOU CRAZY MOON, LIKE SOMEONE IN LOVE, WHAT'S NEW, and IMAGINATION among others . . . ask anyone about those songs, and the person will not only hum the melody but start to sing Burke's words. (And if you need more evidence, two fellows named Crosby and Sinatra made Burke's words their own.)
More about the CD — which is called CONVERSATIONS — at the end of this posting. For now, here is the first set — music so sweetly intimate, so wonderfully realized, that we could only watch and marvel at these two artists with so much to say and such grace in expressing it.
PENNIES FROM HEAVEN:
DID YOU CALL HER TODAY? — a Ben Webster line on the chord changes of IN A MELLOTONE, which was based on ROSE ROOM . . . but it's all Harry and Rossano here:
And the yearning question, WHAT'S NEW?:
LIKE SOMEONE IN LOVE:
A romping DIAMONDS ARE A GIRL'S BEST FRIEND (with hilarious lyrics by Leo Robin):
A poetic IMAGINATION:
IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU:
That was the first set. More to come!
The duo CD is called CONVERSATIONS. It's beautifully recorded and the program is varied — with two "new" songs, both memorable: I WISH YOU NEEDED ME and IF LOVE AIN'T THERE — as well as very touching liner notes by Mister Allen himself.

The editorial experience is a critical and often overlooked part of website development. A weak editorial experience means slower site updates. Without a robust and intuitive content creation process, editors lose motivation to keep their site up to date. Our modular content creation process makes it quick and easy for editors to create content while providing front-end users with a rich visual experience.
What Are Modular Content Components?
Modular Content Components are a powerful way for website editors to quickly add new sections and send article content to multiple distribution channels in a single step. Drupal sites with Modular Content Components make it easy to add new distribution channels and send custom formats to each.
Should My Drupal Site Use Modular Content Components?
If your editors need to easily update article content or send articles to multiple distribution partners, it should use Modular Content Components.
Editors can add new components on the fly, with drag and drop functionality, in a fully responsive presentation that looks great across all devices.
Rich content tagging lets editors cross-promote content, populate landing page, and target advertisers.
Customizable bylines have built-in sponsorship capabilities and editors can easily insert rich, branded excerpts of relevant content with only a URL. Removing embed code from article text offers better security, control and maintainability, along with ease of use.
Content distribution for AOL, Apple News, Facebook, MSN and Yahoo are currently available, along with Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) and OpenGraph integration.
Partners often have restrictions around certain types of content. You may have a partner who does not allow links, so articles with related content links need to be modified for that partner. When an article is created from Modular Content Components, it's simple to make exceptions and modifications so editors can focus on article content rather than distribution rules.
Article content published using inconsistent layouts, carried over from legacy site designs, create a confusing user experience. Using Modular Content Components with Drupal means your site will have a solid architecture with consistent branding and an intuitive user experience. Stakeholders and editors benefit from a future-forward platform that is scalable and free of technical debt. This means your organization can expand and redesign its website, either in part or as a whole, without re-inventing the wheel. As branding changes, the site can be easily updated to reflect the new look and feel.
A well-defined set of Modular Content tools provides the same advantages at the article content level. Instead of fragmented HTML dumped into a WYSIWYG editor, you have a structured, upgradeable, and maintainable platform.
The DoubleClick for Publishers (DFP) module integrates with your existing DoubleClick setup, allowing custom ad placement. Smart Targeting lets your site architecture drive advertising campaigns powerfully and consistently. Flexible ad tags make implementing creative campaigns simple and manageable. Along with good targeting parameters, it's easier to measure what works best and where. Unique, built-in identifiers allow you to target one-off campaigns and header bidding capability is also available.
We know that each organization has a unique situation and unique requirements. Get in touch to find out how Chapter Three can tailor this powerful functionality for your site. Call John Faber at 415.218.1351 or email john@chapterthree.com.

POLL: Who Should Win 'RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars 3' Finale?
Plus, we have a look at a SHOCKING twist in tonight's episode!
Tonight is the night, Kitty girls! Mama Ru will crown the winner of All Stars 3.
Who are you rooting for in tonight's finale of RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars 3? Sound off by taking our poll:
Who Should Win RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 3?
The season obviously has had quite a few shocking moments, so we're not sure what to expect in tonight's finale. Most notably, fans were shocked after BenDeLaCreme eliminated herself from the competition. DeLa had been seen as the leading contender for this season. After all, she won five the six challenges this season.
Following Ben's abrupt departure, it seemed like Shangela could win this season. However, we're not sure what to think about watching a teaser clip for this week's episode. Watch:
World of Wonder and Ru have something up their sleeves. So we know that the the eliminated queens are returning ONCE AGAIN. Will they cast the deciding votes? Could this become a situation like a voting jury in a Survivor finale? You know how the eliminated contestants ultimately get to cast the final vote.
It's clear that whatever happens definitely "shook the contestants" after we saw their reactions in the video above.
We'll find out tonight who is headed for the Hall of Fame, and who has to "shashay away."
The finale of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars - Season 3 airs on VH1 tonight at 8pm ET. Toddrick Hall will appear as one of the guest judges on the episode.

The Advantages of Investing in T-Notes
By: Mike Parker | Reviewed by: Ashley Donohoe, MBA | Updated February 05, 2019
Alexander Hamilton served as the first Secretary of the Treasury.

2. What Is Investing in Debt?
3. On-the-Run Treasuries Vs. Off-the-Run
The federal government requires a steady flow of money to operate, and if it spends more money than it takes in, the government is placed in a position where it has to borrow money to make up the difference. The United States Department of the Treasury borrows money from individuals, institutional and government investors by selling U.S. government securities, such as Treasury Bonds, Treasury Bills and Treasury Notes (also called T-Notes.) There are a number of advantages to owning T-Notes, including safety, liquidity and with certain tax benefits.
You can elect to have up to 50 percent of the interest earned on T-Notes withheld if you buy them online through a TreasuryDirect account. This may reduce the amount of your overall tax payable.
What Are Treasury Notes?
Treasury notes, along with bills and bonds, are fixed-income investments. They provide investors with a payment on a set schedule. T-Notes are issued for terms of two, three, five, seven and 10 years, making them an intermediate-range debt investment.
T-Notes and Interest Rates
The Treasury Department sells T-Notes with a fixed interest rate at an auction. Bidders are free to pay more than the face value of the note to get the benefit of the fixed rate during times when demand for T-Notes is high. When demand is lower, investors can buy T-Notes for less than their face value.
Treasury Notes Are Safe Investments
One of the main advantages of choosing T-Notes is that they are considered one of the safest investments, according to the Securities Industry and the Financial Markets Association. Since they are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government and are considered to be the safest of all investments, T-Notes are not rated by any credit rating agency, such as Standard and Poor's or Moody's, because they are considered to have no risk of default.
No Surprises with Investment Return
Unlike some other types of investments which fluctuate in value over time and with changes in market conditions, Treasury Notes pay out at a set interest rate until their maturity date. Since the interest rate stays constant, you will be able to plan how much you can expect to get back over the term.
Sell Your T-Notes Anytime
You have the option of holding your Treasury Notes until they mature, or you can sell them in the secondary market if you decide you want to convert them to cash at any point. The market for T-Notes and other U.S. government securities is one of the largest and most liquid bond markets in the world. You can sell your T-Notes in the secondary market through your bank, investments broker or dealer.
Exempt from Certain Income Taxes
T-Notes pay regular interest every six months. The interest paid on your T-Notes is fully taxable on your federal income tax return in the year you receive it, but it is exempt from all state and local income taxes.
How to Buy Treasury Notes
You have more than one option if you're interested in adding Treasury Notes to your investment holdings.
Buy from the U.S. Treasury: Visit the TreasuryDirect website and open an account. (There is no charge.) Once your account is open, you choose the type of security youwant to buy (in this instance, a Treasury Note) and the amount. You also agree to accept the yield that is determined at the auction.
Make a Purchase through your Bank, a Dealer or Broker: If you decide to buy Treasury Notes through one of these sources, you can specify the yield you will accept (competitive) or agree to acceptthe yield as determined at auction (non-competitive).
For more information about Treasury Notes and how they can fit into your overall investment plan, contact an experienced financial adviser.

2011 NBA Draft: Cleveland Cavaliers Win #1 Pick
05/17/2011 5:58 PM · Johnny Detroit
The Cleveland Cavaliers have won the #1 pick in the 2011 NBA Draft with the Minnesota Timberwolves grabbing the #2 selection and the Utah Jazz the third. Most experts in their NBA mock draft have Duke guard Kyrie Irving as being the #1 selection in the draft this year.
2011 NBA Draft Information
When: June 23, 2011
Time: 7:00pm EST
Where: Prudential Center (Newark, NJ)
T.V.: ESPN
Kyrie Irving was a monster for Duke, shooting 58.7% from two-point land and an amazing 45.2% on triples. Many basketball aficionados consider Irving one of the best guards to enter the NBA draft in close to ten years. When playing "court general" for the Duke Blue Devils they won by an average of 23 points and as a team put up close to 90 points per contest. How dominant was Kyrie when running the floor? How about adding close to seven possession more per game over the previous season for the Duke offense with an emphasis on transition (27%) followed by isolation (23%) and the pick and roll (22%). His style and court presence should fit perfectly into the NBA and make him an instant star in Cleveland.
Once Lebron James left the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat the sports betting world listed the Cavs as +10,000 ($100 wager would win you $10,000) to win the 2011 NBA Championship. The oddmakers were not far off as Cleveland ended up dead last in their division with the second worst record (Minnesota has the worst at 17-65) in the NBA at 19-63.

Q: When inserting scripts from Google API does the user download multiple times? When using the following source to add AJAX capabilities to my website I'm afraid the user might have to download the script several times, since I'm not certain where it's stored on the client PC and how long it'll stay there.
<script type="text/javascript" src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js" ></script>

Would it be a good idea to create a condition to check for this link's download status and have a backup on my server just in case, and how would you do that? I'm working in PHP, but still a novice and don't know what function I'd use to check the download status with.
While I'm asking, what do you consider the biggest advantages of the AJAX library, I'm familiar with the asynchronous call to the server or even other websites, but what else puts AJAX ahead in regards to client-side scripting.

A: Those api developers take care of client side caching, well. Second thing is you may serve them from server of your own, but all caching headers to be taken care by you. Lastly, the api developers' servers are more equipped with large set of CDN ( content distribution networks ), and you may never know how you can deliver a file faster than they do.
My recommendation is just include those files from where they are. ( as the url provided from them ). replace leading // to http

Sustainable knitwear designer to showcase new collection
Sustainable knitwear designer Katie Jones will share a range of colourful eco-friendly designs at The Spring Knitting & Stitching Show, which opens this week.
Katie, who combines 'playful aesthetics with serious ethics' will showcase her range of handmade technicolour womenswear, homewares and accessories in the show's Make It Yourself (MIY) gallery. A brand-new collection will also be launched at the event.
"The exhibition will aim to inspire and demonstrate how you can approach sustainability in a fun and colourful way," explains Katie. "Over-consumption is one of the biggest issues in sustainability. By crafting our own clothes, we can understand their true value and consume at a slower rate. Knowing how to knit and sew extends a garment's life as we are equipped to fix them, and we have more emotional attachment with handmade pieces, so we hold on to them longer which drastically reduces landfill. A big, really easy step to being more eco-conscious is just that – being conscious and actively being involved in our clothing."
The Spring Knitting & Stitching Show runs at Olympia London from 28th February until 3rd March, with over 200 workshops and demonstrations, drop-in knitting and crochet sessions and textile galleries featuring work by prominent artists. There will also be a gallery of rare knitwear pieces by Dame Zandra Rhodes, and a show theatre featuring bite-sized demonstrations and competitions. Go to www.theknittingandstitchingshow.com/spring or call +44 (0)844 581 1319 for tickets.

Terry Lectures will explore the memory of Darwin's work and life
Janet Browne, the Aramont Professor of the History of Science at Harvard University, will be this year's guest lecturer for the 2015 Dwight H. Terry Lecture series titled "Becoming Darwin: History, Memory, and Biography."
Her first lecture, "Economist of Nature," will take place on Nov. 3. Her second lecture, "Stories of a Scientific Life," will take place on Nov. 5. The final lecture, on Nov. 10, is titled "Icon." All three lectures will be held at the Whitney Humanities Center, 53 Wall St., starting at 4:30 p.m. They are free and open to the public.
Browne is currently the chair of Harvard's history of science department and teaches the history of biology, including the history of evolutionary theory. She has previously taught at the Wellcome Trust Centre for the History of Medicine at University College London and was an associate editor of the early volumes of "The Correspondence of Charles Darwin." In 2002, she completed a two-volume biography of Charles Darwin that integrated Darwin's science with his life and times.
The Dwight H. Terry Lectureship was established in 1905 by a gift from Dwight Harrington Terry of Bridgeport, Connecticut, to endow a series of lectures on religion and its application to human welfare in the light of scientific knowledge and philosophical insights. The lectures are published in book form by Yale University Press. Previous Terry lecturers have included Carl Jung, Margaret Mead, Rebecca West, Peter Singer, Marilynne Robinson, and Terry Eagleton.

News Breaking News Paul Duarte killed in South Sacramento DUI-related hit-and-run crash
Paul Duarte killed in South Sacramento DUI-related hit-and-run crash
By GREG BUFF
Posted: November 30, 2022 EDT
Updated: November 30, 2022 11:16 AM EDT
Nov. 21 crash was at 29th Street and Gardendale Road
SOUTH SACRAMENTO, CA, (November 21, 2022) - The Sacramento Police Department is investigating a hit-and-run crash on Nov. 21 that claimed the life of a pedestrian in the Meadowview neighborhood.
Paul Duarte lost his life on Nov. 21 when he was struck by an alleged hit-and-run drunken driver in South Sacramento.
Sacramento police said that 44-year-old Paul Robert Duarte was struck at 29th Street and Gardendale Road shortly before 10 p.m. The driver did not remain to render aid or report the collision.
Duarte was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver, later identified as 60-year-old Bobby Thomas, was located at a nearby residence and arrested. He was booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail on suspicion of gross vehicular manslaughter and DUI.
DUI ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION
Despite crackdowns throughout this country, impaired drivers remain a threat to innocent, law-abiding victims.
The consumption of alcohol can diminish the ability to operate a motor vehicle. According to Mothers Against Drunk Driving, each year about 300,000 people are injured in the U.S. by drunken drivers.
An independent investigation will be required to learn other potential factors in the case such as blood alcohol content levels.
Candice Bond, an experienced DUI accident attorney, was interviewed and provided her thoughts on incidents such as this.
"Separate from criminal charges, a victim may be entitled to compensation through a civil lawsuit against the responsible party, said Candice Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal. "In addition to the diligent work of law enforcement, an attorney can re-interview important witnesses, analyze any surveillance video from the scene of the crash, and obtain phone and texting records of the liable party. Serving as an advocate, an attorney can help compassionately guide an injured victim during this difficult time, protecting their legal rights, while ensuring that a driver who takes the wheel under the influence is held accountable for their actions."
Pending the investigation, the family of Paul Duarte may pursue a wrongful death claim. Family members of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident such as this.
"The stress and sorrow can be extremely overwhelming after losing a loved one in an accident," Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal.
"We understand just what families must go through, and having their rights protected is vital. A wrongful death lawyer will stay updated on the official investigation and help ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected."
If your loved one has been killed at the hands of a drunken driver and would like a no-cost consultation, please contact our national legal analysts Candice Bond and Stefano Formica today
The staff of The Legal Advocate would like to extend our thoughts and prayers to Paul Duarte and family

Pining for a Burnished Time, Long Ago and Far Away
"Lady Lilith" (1867).Credit...Metropolitan Museum of Art
By Ken Johnson
As in politics, so in art: Some movements want to hasten us into the future, some want to turn back the clocks to a supposedly better time. "The Pre-Raphaelite Legacy: British Art and Design," a small exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a modest introduction to one of the 19th century's most interesting backward-looking groups.
Formed in London 1848 by seven young artists and writers, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was committed to ideas about painting and sculpture that its members associated with the quattrocento, the century leading up to the High Renaissance of Raphael and Michelangelo. The Pre-Raphaelites saw in late medieval and early Renaissance art a kind of visual and spiritual intensity that they believed was woefully lacking in the mainstream, academic art of their own time.
Organized by Constance McPhee, a curator in the Met's drawings and prints department, and Alison Hokanson, a research associate in the European paintings department, the exhibition focuses not on the years when the brotherhood was active but on the four decades after its disbandment in 1853. It presents 30 paintings, drawings, books, tapestries, ceramics and stained-glass works.
The show's centerpiece is "The Love Song" (1868-77), by the Victorian painter Edward Burne-Jones, who was not one of the original Pre-Raphaelites but was a principal practitioner of "second wave" Pre-Raphaelitism. It pictures the beatific outdoor scene of a handsome young knight in shining armor sitting on the ground listening to a beautiful young woman in medieval costume playing a small organ as a winged male figure operates the instrument's bellows. Carefully described tulips and other flowers line the picture's bottom edge; a stone church rises in the background under a glowing twilight sky.
A wistfully saccharine, soft-focus imitation of Botticelli, this picture is easy to dismiss as escapist fantasy. But consider the historical context. The Pre-Raphaelites' quasi-religious apotheosis of erotic love and beauty was a logical response to the booming Industrial Revolution. The allure of the archaic, the fantasy of a golden age of holistic harmony in the distant past, was the flip side of the euphoria of modern progress.
Along with it went the idealization of preindustrial craft, which was epitomized in the career of Burne-Jones's friend William Morris. A designer of textiles, wallpaper, stained glass and books and an avid socialist, Morris collaborated with Burne-Jones and the architect Philip Webb in the creation of another of the exhibition's major works, a cabinet called "The Backgammon Players" (1861). Severely simple in its construction but covered with painted, medieval-style patterns, it features Burne-Jones's image of a man and a woman playing a board game — a metaphor of erotic love — painted on its leather-covered doors.
The drive to integrate art and craft, contrary to the academic elevation of the one over the other, is represented in numerous other objects in the show, including a lush, bird-and-vine-theme tapestry designed by Morris in 1878. Among the show's most sumptuous pieces is a ceramic platter by William De Morgan from 1882-88. It has a pair of cartoon fish encircled by a pattern of fish and leaves rendered in lustrous maroon and copper-colored glazes.
The problem with Morris's utopian program was that producing objects using Old World techniques was not cheap and never would be. Only the wealthy could afford the kind of high-quality work he produced. Nevertheless, his influence would be felt in the late-19th-century Arts and Crafts movement, in 20th-century high-end design and in myriad varieties of real and phony artisanal production populating today's cultural landscape.
In contrast to Morris's shakily founded optimism, there was a mournful side to the Pre-Raphaelite legacy. You see it in a pastel portrait of a deathly sick woman in bed by Ford Madox Brown called "The Convalescent (A Portrait of the Artist's Wife)" (1872) and in Frederic Leighton's "Lachrymae" (Latin for tears), a painting from around 1894-95 showing a woman standing in classical ancient Greek garb with her head sadly bowed. It's not too much of a stretch to see such images as the depressive aspect of Faustian modernity, a mood soon to be realized more nakedly in Picasso's Blue Period paintings.
The show's most striking work in this vein is "Lady Lilith" (1867), a large watercolor-and-gouache portrait of a woman created by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, one of the founding fathers of the Pre-Raphaelites, and his assistant Henry Treffry Dunn. It pictures a voluptuous, bare-shouldered woman seated in a luxurious boudoir combing her thick red hair while gazing into a hand mirror. Here you have the archetypal femme fatale, a sexist stereotype no doubt, but a vivid expression of a male anxiety that fears, yet yearns for dissolution into the depths of femininity. As a movie like "Maleficent" demonstrates, that theme is as alive in today's pop culture as it ever was.

King George Street (Hebrew: רְחוֹב הַמֶּלֶךְ ג׳וֹרְג׳; Rehov ha-Melekh Jorj) is a street in Tel Aviv named for King George V of the United Kingdom who reigned during the British Mandate of Palestine. The street extends from Masaryk Square in the north to Magen David Square in the south, where it meets with Allenby Street, the Carmel Market, and Nahalat Binyamin Street. At the beginning of the 1920s, the street was called "Carmel Street." In 1935, it was changed to its current name to mark the occasion of the king's Silver Jubilee. The western section of the street is still called "Carmel Street", which is where the Carmel Market is located.

text: OFFSHORE ANNUAL A Picture's Worth ... By Greg Trauthwein Mieko Mahi is a study of contrasts. Mahi has built her career and several successful businesses capturing images of the offshore oil and gas industry, a woman photographer documenting a male-dominated, roughneck industry. Soft spoken, Mahi possesses a toughness to get the shot despite obstacles and conditions, and in nearly 20 years has amassed not only one of the world's finest and most comprehensive collections of offshore industry imagery, but enough tales of adventure to match the fictional "Indiana Jones." The foundation of her success is rooted in a solid work ethic that has enabled her to turn loss into gain, driven by a passion to get the shot. The fact that Mahi has excelled in covering the Offshore energy market is as much by coincidence as business plan. She embarked on this path in 1988 when Texas Oil & Gas Corp. hired her as a videographer, responsible for producing the company's safety videos, with her photo taking as a side-note. In her early 30s, video production was actually her preference over still photography, and in fact many of the safety videos that she wrote, shot and edited were award winners. After only two years with the company, Texas Oil & Gas was sold and dismantled, leaving the young videographer out of work, but not for long. Marathon Oil offered here a position as a photographer, where she worked until 1994, when a round of corporate lay-offs again left her outside of the corporate loop. While lay-offs are hardly unusual in the energy world, this particular timing for this particular young professional eventually proved beneficial and marked the last time she would be under the employ of a corporation. Mahi's Marathon experience consisted primarily of being sent offshore for photo shoots, and upon her lay-off in 1994, Marathon's parent company tapped her skills for two years following with freelance annual report work, essentially launching her independent businesses. With a steady check to support her, Mahi embarked on the journey to tap local companies for additional freelance work, though at the time the mission was not strictly centered on energy companies. "I took the top 100 companies in Houston, called all of them to get the contact people who hired photographers, and kept in contact with calls and postcards for freelance work." During this process, she received the most response from the Oil and Gas industry, which helped her to define her direction. "I think young people sometimes think that someone is going to tell you the direction, but it just doesn't happen ... you have to make it happen." And make it happen she did, though the road was not always straight and smooth. It is human nature to sometimes view successful professionals with jealousy, reasoning that success was delivered rather than earned. In Mahi's case, nothing is further from reality, as evidenced by three failed attempts - a fashion photography company; a video production company; and a print and design company - to build her own company in the past. "I This month's cover is from the talented Mieko Mahi of EnergyImages.com. Mahi has made a career of shooting stunning photography of the offshore oil and gas industry, an endeavor that has led her to serveral business ventures. Mahi's work is also featured in the April 2007 edition of MarineNews sister-publication Maritime Reporter & Engineering News, but her shared portfolio was simply too large to be housed in one magazine. don't take success for granted," she said. "I never wanted to work for myself again, because I didn't want to be poor, until USX (Marathon's parent company) and Diamond offshore promised me a year's worth of work." Mahi also credits Richard Payne and Jay Brousseau as two invaluable mentors. Payne, based in Houston, specializes in architecture and has published more than 16 photography books, and Mahi credits him with encouraging her to pursue photography as a career instead of video. Brousseau is a Dallas-based studio pho- The Life on a Rig Exhibit Mahi funded and created the "Life on a Rig" exhibit using all of her images. It has $450,000 worth of images displayed on it, and the exhibit has it's own stands in which the public can walk around to view the panels. The display is in two 12 x 8-ft. sections. One depicts the four major offshore rig types and the four basic advanced technologies. The other section depicts the entire business of offshore from transportation, exploration, drilling, construction, production, safety, to saving the environment. This exhibit originated at the Ocean Star Museum, and later parts of it was reproduced by the Offshore Technology Conference, and the exhibit has been shown at the University of Houston Downtown and also, at the Galleria. The exhibit is now at the Texas Maritime Museum for the next eight months and is also being utilized for training classes there. Presently, The British Columbia Ministries is recreating the exhibit to a more portable size, so that it can travel by sea plane or barge.

Microorganisms ; 10(9)2022 Sep 09.
Despite a vaccination rate of 82.0% (n = 123/150), a SARS-CoV-2 (Alpha) outbreak with 64.7% (n = 97/150) confirmed infections occurred in a nursing home in Bavaria, Germany.
the aim of this retrospective cohort study was to examine the effects of the Corminaty vaccine in a real-life outbreak situation and to obtain insights into the antibody response to both vaccination and breakthrough infection.
the antibody status of 106 fully vaccinated individuals (54/106 breakthrough infections) and epidemiological data on all 150 residents and facility staff were evaluated.
SARS-CoV-2 infections (positive RT-qPCR) were detected in 56.9% (n = 70/123) of fully vaccinated, compared to 100% (n = 27/27) of incompletely or non-vaccinated individuals. The proportion of hospitalized and deceased was 4.1% (n = 5/123) among fully vaccinated and therewith lower compared to 18.5% (n = 5/27) hospitalized and 11.1% (n = 3/27) deceased among incompletely or non-vaccinated. Ct values were significantly lower in incompletely or non-vaccinated (p = 0.02). Neutralizing antibodies were detected in 99.1% (n = 105/106) of serum samples with significantly higher values (p < 0.001) being measured post-breakthrough infection. α-N-antibodies were detected in 37.7% of PCR positive but not in PCR negative individuals.
Altogether, our data indicate that SARS-CoV-2 vaccination does provide protection against infection, severe disease progression and death with regards to the Alpha variant. Nonetheless, it also shows that infection and transmission are possible despite full vaccination. It further indicates that breakthrough infections can significantly enhance α-S- and neutralizing antibody responses, indicating a possible benefit from booster vaccinations.

Avocado toast è un singolo della cantante italiana Annalisa, pubblicato il 4 giugno 2019.

Descrizione
Il brano, scritto da Annalisa stessa insieme a Danti dei Two Fingerz e al produttore Michele Canova Iorfida, è nato a Los Angeles come esperimento durante le fasi di registrazione del settimo album della cantante (dal quale è stato tuttavia scartato):

Musicalmente, Avocado toast è caratterizzato da una struttura pop e una base musicale trap, genere mai affrontato in passato dall'artista. La stessa lo ha definito «astratto, a volte impressionista. È una canzone surreale e un po' folle ma anche sensuale, calda e divertente, estiva nel senso più rilassato che si possa intendere».

La canzone è stata presentata per la prima volta dal vivo all'Arena di Verona in occasione dei SEAT Music Awards.

Video musicale
Il videoclip, diretto da Nicola Corradino per YouNuts!, è stato pubblicato il 12 giugno 2019 sul canale YouTube della Warner Music Italy e ha come protagonista la cantante cantare il brano in una stanza accompagnata da un cane e da alcune ballerine.

Dih Salah District Di Salah Deh Salah District was created within Andarab District in 2005. Andarab District was divided into two districts, Banu and Deh Salah, as a result of the growing political and military influence of the Andarabi commanders. As it is often the case in Afghanistan, district divisions create more insecure. Deh Salah is the home to about 80,000 people, most of them ethnic Tajiks rather that the majority Pashtuns.


Kumbuka, the gorilla who escaped from London Zoo a week ago today, helped himself to five litres of UNDILUTED blackcurrant squash, a report says.
Professor David Field, who wrote the report, confirmed there was little to no danger during the incident.
"There were no broken locks, Kumbuka did not smash any windows, he was never 'on the loose' and his normal gorilla posturing reported by visitors earlier in the day was unrelated," the BBC reports he wrote.
Kumbuka "briefly explored the area next door to his den, where he opened and drank five litres of undiluted blackcurrant squash," the report added.
The animal's exit was "opportunistic" and occurred due to an unlocked door, the Zoo confirmed.

Tuzla Airport's numbers slip in September
Tuzla Airport has seen its passenger numbers decline for a third consecutive month this September when compared to last year. The airport, which acts as a base for budget carrier Wizz Air, handled 27.794 travellers during the month, a decrease of 3.8%. It is the first time the airport's figures have declined since the low cost carrier launched operations from the city in 2013. The decline is partly the result of Wizz Air's termination of its Tuzla – Sandefjord service last November. However, overall, Tuzla Airport handled 231.972 travellers during the first three quaters, up a notable 19.9% on last year. Wizz Air will add flights from Tuzla to London Luton and Billund at the end of the month before basing a second aircraft and opening a handful of new routes from Bosnia and Herzegovina's third largest city in March 2017.

Hacking the media.
The new frontier in the war for democracy
22-23.02.2022, Warsaw
Hybrid event*
*Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we may need to change the event format from the hybrid mode to online only. You can expect the final decision from the organizers in late January 2022.
About the MEDIA FOR FREEDOM SUMMIT
Freedom is the foundation of modern societies, it leads to enhanced expressions of creativity, original thoughts, social development and an overall high quality of life. Free media are key to a healthy, equitable, free society. Journalists hold politicians and business people accountable, inform the public and provide a platform to share opinions and make sure minority issues are being heard.
MEDIA FOR FREEDOM SUMMIT brings together people shaping the sustainable future of the media industry.
MEDIA FOR FREEDOM SUMMIT (previously: the Press Freedom Conference) is a platform aimed to empower journalists to continue their work critically and independently, to secure freedom of speech, as a pillar of European democracies.
The third edition of the conference will be an online experience and will examine the role of media and press freedom in CEE countries in the new VUCA reality. At the first edition of the Press Freedom Conference in Bratislava, we discussed with representatives of the European Parliament, the Slovak government, publishers and journalists from all over Europe how to support journalists in fulfilling their mission, in critically reporting on reality and, above all, in maintaining journalistic independence. The second edition, which took place in Gdańsk, Poland was devoted to the challenges related to hate speech.
Let's make sure journalists are empowered in perceiving their mission. Let's make sure we live in a well-informed, truly free society, where truth prevails, and everybody has the right to speak-up, stand up for his values.

What was discussed in 2021
THE NEW REALITY OF MEDIA? WILL MEDIA FREEDOM PREVAIL?
Media being bought by politicians, oligarchs, steered by business. Journalists being pressured, intimidated, arrested and even killed. Is this the new reality of the world we will live in? Can we afford a world without free media, different opinions, a platform for discussion? Where would it lead us, us as individuals, us as a society, us as democracy?
Social (ir)responsibility? The new role of social media
Polarisation has become one of the most challenging phenomena of recent years, dangerous for the free speech, dangerous for democracy. A world triggered by tribal instincts, opposing views, hostility has become the new social and political norm. How can technology, media and social media lead the way out of this situation, how can they tackle the challenge?
How to secure the freedom of media? Financing and regulations
There is no free media without independent financing. Only a source of income for media, not related to governments or politicians, allows them to remain independent and fulfil the journalistic mission. How to secure the economical sustainability of the media business model? How to support the journalistic independence?

How Did Revenge Become a Military Objective?
December 22, 2018 LobeLog 4 Comments
IDF soldiers in the West Bank (Wikimedia Commons)
by Orly Noy
There is something almost spellbinding about the speed with which the Israeli government is tearing off the masks that once afforded its policies a veneer of decency. From the Jewish Nation-State Law to the cultural loyalty law to the law to legalize settlement outposts, from Prime Minister Netanyahu's anti-Semitic friends to the blatant racism of his son who publicly yearns for a country cleansed of Palestinians — official Israel is not even pretending anymore. Everything is out in the open now.
This trend is also being reflected in the operations and policies of the Israeli army. Without any way of providing Israeli citizens with security and quiet in a reality of endless military occupation, it seems that the army's main way of dealing with the Palestinians is sowing fear and collective punishment. This is done through demolishing homes belonging to family members of those who carry out violent attacks, a move that has been repeatedly deemed as ineffective by high-ranking officials in the army itself; through frequent raids of Palestinian cities supposedly under the full control of the Palestinian Authority, carrying out mass arrests that severely harm the PA's image as an autonomous government; and by opening fire on unarmed protesters in Gaza.
Now the army has added another operational objective: exacting revenge on behalf of bereaved Israeli families. When Israeli security forces killed Ashraf Na'alowa, the Palestinian accused of murdering Kim Levengrond-Yehezkel and Ziv Hajbi at the Barkan Industrial Zone earlier this year, one of the first people to be notified was Rafi Levengrond, Kim's father, who was briefed by the IDF Central command within five minutes of Na'alowa's death. "It was important for me to inform you […] before it was published in the media," Levengrond was told.
The family of Sgt. Ronen Lubarski, who was killed earlier this year during a raid on Al-Amari refugee camp, were also briefed as the family home of Islam Abu Hamid, the accused killer, was demolished over the weekend. "This morning, the commander called me from the field while the house was being destroyed," Ronen's father, Vladimir Lubarski, told Ynet. "It was important for him to speak to me first."
Why was it so important for an IDF commander to call and update the father of the soldier — who was killed during a military operation — about the demolition of the home belonging to the family of the Palestinian allegedly responsible for his death? Was the killing of Sgt. Lubarski a criminal offense? Was the demolition of the Abu Hamid's home a personal gesture to the Lubarski family in order to allay their pain?
It appears that Rafi Levongrond understood full well what underlies the operation that killed his daughter's accused murderer. "I was waiting for this, but this is punishment after the deed," he said after receiving the army's update. "The issue is what to do to prevent this from happening. This is personal revenge but it won't solve the problem. Of course, for our families, this is good news and we are very happy about it."
By Monday morning, Levongrond's tone shifted, after Israeli security forces only partially demolished Na'alowa's family's home in the West Bank village of Shweikeh. "I do not accept haphazard work," he said. "They did not wound my daughter. They slaughtered and executed her… I demand they demolish the entire house."
Although bereaved families have near-mythical status in Israel, their relationship with the state is far from simple. These relationships are often characterized by a demonstrative reverence that exacts severe criticism of those perceived as deviating from it, such as the storm that came down on lawmakers Miki Zohar and David Bitton, both from the ruling Likud party, who publicly confronted two bereaved families who lost their sons in the 2014 Gaza war. The same reverence that allows the Goldin family — whose son's body is being held by Hamas along with that of fellow soldier Oron Shaul — to continue demanding that Israel abuse 2 million people in Gaza until their son's body is returned.
But these bereaved families will only be revered so long as their demands fall in line with the government's aggressive and belligerent agenda, and as long as they provide the army with the pretext and justification for revenge operations against Palestinians. The moment they stray from the militant line, they are stripped of their title as "bereaved families," and turn into traitorous leftists. This, after all, is how the government treats the bereaved families of the Parents Circle Families Forum, which year after year has had to petition the High Court of Justice just to hold a joint Israeli-Palestinian Remembrance Day ceremony. Former Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman called the ceremony a "desecration" that "harms the bereaved families who are so dear to us."
The bereaved families are dear to us as long as what they want is more blood, more killing, more revenge. Only then will the government be attentive to all their demands. Only then will the army take revenge with live updates from the battlefield. Only then will they earn their respect.

So true. Zionism is a racial supremacist ideology which others like it in history is based on hate and denigration of its victims. You are either with them or they will crush you.

Israeli failures are not like other country failures. But, Arabs do not fail they implement normal policies like exterminating the Sunni population from Syria (650000 murdered, 100000 disappears, 1M maimed, 10M refugees. What about Yemen? So Ali does this look like Nazi to you, or it is Nazi just becasue you hate Israel and want it do be annihilated from Earth (which is exactly what the Nazis ideology BTW)?
Rightt of return to Jews explled from Arab countries
So true. Zionism is a racial supremacist ideology which granted to the 1.3M Arab citizens in Israel full rights which are the envy of the Arab world. Arabs which reject Israel and a Jewish state are not racist of course. They are very moral attempting to annihilate Israel. Doing nothing but mass murdering Jews for 100 years and blaming all their poor and dysfunctional existence (except for the families that own gas stations in the gulf) is based on love. And finally, how's annihilating Israel been working for you?

Aaron Sorkin Says Denzel Washington Could Have Played Steve Jobs
Denzel Washington in New York City on Sept. 22, 2014.
Andy Kropa—AP
By Oliver Gettell/ EW

Casting the title role in Steve Jobs was no easy task — in part because the late Apple co-founder still looms large in the popular consciousness, and in part because of how thoroughly the character dominates the film.
During the movie's closely covered development process, such big-name stars as Leonardo DiCaprio and Christian Bale circled the Jobs role only to pass, and the German-Irish actor Michael Fassbender ultimately donned the iconic black turtleneck.
According to screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, the most important qualification for the Jobs role was sheer acting talent.
"I know that when [Fassbender's] casting was announced there was some bewilderment because he does not look anything like Steve Jobs," Sorkin said in a recent Sirius XM Town Hall. "But the script doesn't ask anybody to do a physical impersonation of the character that they're playing, especially not Steve."
In fact, Sorkin had another surprising suggestion for who might have played Jobs, had he been in the right age range. "If he were a little bit younger, Denzel [Washington] would have been a great choice in this part," Sorkin said. "The physical resemblance doesn't matter. Being an actor with serious chops matters. Having game matters — and Michael does."
The Sirius XM Town Hall with Sorkin can be heard on EW Radio Sirius XM 105 all weekend long, and anytime on SiriusXM on demand.

As I was reading through the Sermon on the Mount this week, I noted Matthew 6:33 in particular: "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you" (ESV). While we often hear sermons about seeking the kingdom first, I don't recall ever hearing anyone explain what it means to seek His righteousness.
It's probably natural that when we hear an instruction to "pursue righteousness," our first thought is how to avoid sin and be a better person. I can attest to the fact that that can only take us so far. We might clean up a few obvious sins, but that doesn't really change who we are. The apostle Paul points out that the righteousness that comes from obedience to the law doesn't really save us. The righteousness that we need is Christ's perfect righteousness, which is only received by faith. Paul reinforces Jesus' statement that it is God's righteousness we are to be seeking, not our own self-righteousness.
"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. … Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all" (Matthew 6:19-21, 31-32).
"Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For His sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ, and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith — that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and may share in his sufferings, becoming like Him in His death, that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead" (Philippians 3:8-11).
It seems that Paul took Jesus' teachings quite literally. He not only gave up his possessions and status, but he counted them as rubbish. He didn't spend time worrying about where his next meal was coming from (and indeed went hungry at times), but he willingly walked into dangerous situations in his pursuit of the kingdom. He suffered for Christ and died knowing that it was worth every minute of pain (see 1 Corinthians 11:24-28 and Philippians 1:21).
It's tempting to take Matthew 6 out of context and say, "Okay, I'm going to try really hard not to be anxious but to seek God first in my life." But that's a pretty anemic response to the greater context of Scripture. Just a few verses later in Matthew 7 Jesus warns that many so-called Christians will be told in the end, "I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness" (7:23). Then in Matthew 10 Jesus says that persecution will come and "whoever does not take his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me" (10:38). Paul's life is a pretty good example of the commitment that's required. (The A.D. television series has at the very least been a good reminder of what opposition really looks like.) Christianity in 21st century America may seem far removed from the experience of the early church, but I think we're beginning to get a sense of the danger that could be in store for us when governments are actively promoting non-Christian values, when terrorists seek out Christian targets, and nominal Christians are leaving the church in droves. Those who remain faithful to the end will learn what it means to "seek first His kingdom" and "share in His sufferings." Some day in the not-so-distant future, it won't be about choosing not to worry about the fashion trends or saving for retirement, but about choosing to follow Jesus against every logical argument for taking the easy way out. It's happened before and it will happen again.
"Choose this day whom you will serve … but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord" (Joshua 24:15).

Steve is the powerhouse behind Slam Cartel, providing the driving force and a solid foundation.
Steve started drumming at age 17 in Ashford Thrash covers band Eschatology, with Marc on guitar and vocals. Eschatology soon became Bind, which soon became a bind, so Steve quit to concentrate on playing guitar for Folkestone Goth Metal outfit Einsteifen, writing many of their songs and recording the unreleased album Casting the Circle.
After ten years away from the kit Steve was invited to try out for Slam Cartel.
In Courtfield Studios where Eschatology cut their thrash teeth, and with Marc on Bass, getting back behind the kit was like coming back home.

The authors of this report looked across the wide range of RPS practices and innovations in order to identify specific instances where a state has implemented an RPS in a way that has been effective and can offer lessons for other states. The paper consists of three case studies of states that have been leaders in implementing particular RPS practices: Delaware's use of a carve-out for solar, New Jersey's tracking of solar renewable energy certificates (SRECs), and New Hampshire's inclusion of thermal output in its RPS.
Each of the case studies follows a similar format. First, the authors briefly summarize the RPS practice and what makes it a model for others. They then provide a history of the program and its results. They follow that with overviews of the program or practice's strengths and limitations. They end with lessons and recommendations for other states.


Shots that accentuate the illusion of depth are referred to as deep frames, while shots that flatten the space along the z-axis are called flat frames.
Each type of shot has its own expressive value. The several compositional techniques used to control the perception of depth in the frame are called depth cues.
This flat frame from Lucas' THX-1138 (left) intentionally suppresses indicators that imply depth while Kubrick uses several depth cues for this deep frame in The Shining (right).
Relative size is the depth cue that arises from the way we judge the sizes of objects in the real world. By their relative size, we judge how far apart they must be in the near and far planes of the frame. In the illustration, right, the fact that the two little girls are smaller than the boy's head extends the perception of z-axis space because we understand that, in order to appear so small, they must be far away (in the background) from the boy, who is in the foreground.
Receding planes is another depth cue in which objects are placed along foreground, midground, and background along the z-axis. In our illustration, right , the doors and ceiling lamps serve this function.
Objects overlapping where objects along the z-axis (depth) overlap and partially obstruct each other (foreground details covering background objects) is another strong depth cue. Even a small detail included in the foreground can immediately create a deeper frame.
Composing your image with receding diagonal lines also provides a powerful depth cue. For example, a row of buildings shot head on will line the horizontal axis of the frame in a flat row, but adjust the camera position left or right so that you're shooting the row on the diagonal and now they will appear to be receding along the z-axis. The converging diagonal lines in Figure 13-3, right, provide a very strong indication of depth as they are receding toward a central point.
Finally, focus can play a crucial role in a viewer's perception of depth. An image with deep focus allows a viewer to perceive fi ne detail deep into the frame, extending the significance of the z-axis, while shallow focus flattens the background and isolates limited planes along the z-axis. The capacity to control the range of focus along the z-axis depends on technical aspects of the lens and is a creative tool.

Terrific article,but I can't take anything that happens at the UN seriously.
Jim thank you for the comment! I know many people express the same feelings about the UN. In this case, I'm just working to keep serious the message about "family" importance.
Thank you for sharing and you are not alone. Many people did not expect to see FAMILY as the answer. You said it best, strong in mind and spirit.
