United Nations Considerations
According to article 101, paragraph 3, of the Charter of the United Nations, the paramount consideration in the employment of the staff is the necessity of securing the highest standards of efficiency, competence, and integrity. Candidates will not be considered for employment with the United Nations if they have committed violations of international human rights law, violations of international humanitarian law, sexual exploitation, sexual abuse, or sexual harassment, or if there are reasonable grounds to believe that they have been involved in the commission of any of these acts. The term "sexual exploitation" means any actual or attempted abuse of a position of vulnerability, differential power, or trust, for sexual purposes, including, but not limited to, profiting monetarily, socially or politically from the sexual exploitation of another. The term "sexual abuse" means the actual or threatened physical intrusion of a sexual nature, whether by force or under unequal or coercive conditions. The term "sexual harassment" means any unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature that might reasonably be expected or be perceived to cause offence or humiliation, when such conduct interferes with work, is made a condition of employment or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment, and when the gravity of the conduct warrants the termination of the perpetrator's working relationship. Candidates who have committed crimes other than minor traffic offences may not be considered for employment.
Due regard will be paid to the importance of recruiting the staff on as wide a geographical basis as possible. The United Nations places no restrictions on the eligibility of men and women to participate in any capacity and under conditions of equality in its principal and subsidiary organs. The United Nations Secretariat is a non-smoking environment.
The paramount consideration in the appointment, transfer, or promotion of staff shall be the necessity of securing the highest standards of efficiency, competence, and integrity. By accepting an offer of appointment, United Nations staff members are subject to the authority of the Secretary-General and assignment by him or her to any activities or offices of the United Nations in accordance with staff regulation 1.2 (c).

Wallengrün ist ein Ortsteil der Stadt Pausa-Mühltroff im Vogtlandkreis in Sachsen. Er wurde am 22. März 1970 nach Unterreichenau eingemeindet, mit dem er am 1. April 1993 zur Stadt Pausa/Vogtl. kam. Diese nannte sich mit der Eingemeindung von Mühltroff am 1. Januar 2013 in Pausa-Mühltroff um.

Zwischen 1952 und 1992 gehörte Wallengrün zum Kreis Zeulenroda im Bezirk Gera bzw. ab 1990 im Freistaat Thüringen. Durch einen Staatsvertrag kam der Ort zusammen mit weiteren Nachbarorten am 1. April 1992 zum sächsischen Landkreis Plauen.

Geographie

Geographische Lage und Verkehr
Das Waldhufendorf Wallengrün liegt nordwestlich der Stadt Pausa im kupierten Südostthüringer Schiefergebirge (Naturraum Vogtland). Es befindet sich im äußersten Nordwesten des Vogtlandkreises und im sächsischen Teil des historischen Vogtlands. Im Norden grenzt er an das thüringische Vogtland. Durch Wallengrün fließt die Weida, ein Zufluss der Weißen Elster, welche nordwestlich von Wallengrün die sächsisch-thüringische Landesgrenze passiert. Nordwestlich und nordöstlich von Wallengrün befinden sich zwei größere zusammenhängende Waldgebiete. Die Kreisstraße 7876 erschließt das Dorf verkehrsmäßig.

Der Ort ist mit der vertakteten RufBus-Linie 43 des Verkehrsverbunds Vogtland an Pausa angebunden. Dort besteht Anschluss zur TaktBus-Linie 42 nach Plauen.

Nachbarorte
Wallengrün grenzt an zwei weitere Ortsteile der Stadt Pausa-Mühltroff und an einen Ortsteil der Stadt Zeulenroda-Triebes im thüringischen Landkreis Greiz.

Geschichte
1377 wurde erstmals der Ortsname Waldengrune urkundlich genannt. Die heutige Schreibweise ist erstmals im Jahr 1545 erwähnt. Die örtliche Mühle wurde 1542 erstmals urkundlich erwähnt. Sie bestand damals aus einer Mahlmühle, einer Ölmühle, einer Schneidemühle und einer Bäckerei. Am 28. Juli 1880 brannte das Anwesen bis auf die Schneidemühle ab. Nach ihrem Wiederaufbau wurde sie mit einer Turbine und zusätzlichem Kesselhaus ausgestattet. 1997 stellte der Müller den Betrieb ein. Bezüglich der Grundherrschaft unterstand Wallengrün bis ins 19. Jahrhundert dem Rittergut Mühltroff. Als Teil der Herrschaft Mühltroff gehörte das Dorf bis 1856 zum kursächsischen bzw. königlich-sächsischen Amt Plauen. Im Jahr 1856 wurde der Ort dem Gerichtsamt Pausa und 1875 der Amtshauptmannschaft Plauen angegliedert. Kirchlich ist Wallengrün seit jeher nach Thierbach gepfarrt.

Durch die zweite Kreisreform in der DDR wurde das bisher sächsische Dorf Wallengrün gemeinsam mit seinen ebenfalls bisher sächsischen Nachbarorten Pausa/Vogtl., Ebersgrün, Ranspach, Linda, Unterreichenau und Oberreichenau im Jahr 1952 dem Kreis Zeulenroda im Bezirk Gera angegliedert, welcher ab 1990 als thüringischer Landkreis Zeulenroda fortgeführt wurde. Wallengrün wurde am 22. März 1970 nach Unterreichenau eingemeindet.

Auf Grundlage des Staatsvertrages zwischen Thüringen und Sachsen wechselten die Stadt Pausa/Vogtl. (mit Oberreichenau und Linda) und die Gemeinden Ebersgrün, Ranspach und Unterreichenau (mit Wallengrün) gemeinsam mit den Orten Mühltroff, Langenbach und Thierbach (bisher Landkreis Schleiz) am 1. April 1992 zum sächsischen Landkreis Plauen. Lediglich bezüglich der Postleitzahl gehören die Orte bis heute zum "thüringischen" Postleitzahlengebiet "07". Die Gemeinde Unterreichenau mit ihrem Ortsteil Wallengrün wurde am 1. April 1993 nach Pausa/Vogtl. eingemeindet. Am 10. Januar 2000 wurde eine Verwaltungsgemeinschaft zwischen der Stadt Mühltroff und der Stadt Pausa/Vogtl. mit dem Namen Verwaltungsgemeinschaft Pausa gebildet. Zum 1. Januar 2013 wurde die Verwaltungsgemeinschaft aufgelöst und die Stadt Mühltroff mit seinen beiden Ortsteilen in die Stadt Pausa/Vogtl. eingegliedert. Die Einheitsgemeinde, zu der Wallengrün als Ortsteil gehört, trägt den Namen Pausa-Mühltroff.

Editor's Comment: A Fresh Start - By Sarah Roland
Sarah Roland
A new year. Another fresh start. It is hard to believe it's already 2020—nearly incomprehensible really. Everything happens so fast and yet also uncomfortably slow at times. We operate daily in a profession of "hurry up and wait." But it's the New Year that often helps us refocus on what is important in our lives, both professionally and personally. We all have new resolutions and goals for our lives. So, too, do our clients. So, we may be getting the phone calls about sealing and expunging records—so our clients can have a real fresh start.
Expunction is obviously the preferred course of action if a person is so entitled. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 55.01, et. seq. But if the person isn't entitled to have their record expunged, it may be that they can have it sealed. Because the Legislature radically expanded the sealing laws in 2017, it is worth a review of some of those laws. See Tex. Gov't Code sec. 411.071, et. seq. These laws—with the exception of automatic sealing — apply to an offense committed before, on, or after September 1, 2017.
Automatic Nondisclosure (411.072)—applies to a person who receives a discharge and dismissal for certain nonviolent misdemeanors on or after September 1, 2017; has never before been convicted of or placed on deferred for another offense other than a traffic offense that is punishable by a fine only; is mandatory and does not require a petition, just a request; requires some evidence establishing that person is eligible (can be an affidavit from client); can happen as soon as 180 days from the date person placed on deferred; and is only a $28 fee.
Non-Automatic Nondisclosures (411.0725)—applies to a person otherwise ineligible for an automatic nondisclosure; and mandates a two-year wait for certain misdemeanors and five-year wait for felonies before filing; no requirement of no prior criminal history.
Completion of Veterans Treatment Court (411.0729)—specifically applies to a person who completes a VTC program; applies regardless of whether the petitioner meets other eligibility criteria under the subchapter.
Misdemeanor Convictions (411.073)—section applies to a person placed on straight probation for a misdemeanor (other than the regular disqualifiers); a person who has never been previously convicted of or placed on deferred adjudication for another offense other than a traffic offense that is punishable by fine only; not the result of a revocation; mandatory waiting period for certain enumerated misdemeanor offenses; if ineligible under 411.073, then may still be eligible under 411.0735. (Note: There is no provision that provides for sealing records for the successful completion of straight felony probation.)
Deferred Probation in DWI Cases (411.0726)—there must be evidence in the petition that the person is entitled to file a petition; no revocations; has never been previously convicted of or placed on deferred adjudication for another offense other than a traffic offense that is punishable by fine only; not eligible if evidence presented that offense involves car accident involving another person (not the driver/petitioner); two-year wait after discharge and dismissal.
Probation in Certain DWI Cases (411.0731)—there must be evidence in the petition that the person is entitled to file a petition; no revocations; has never been previously convicted of or placed on deferred adjudication for another offense other than a traffic offense that is punishable by fine only; not eligible if evidence presented that offense involves car accident involving another person (not the driver/petitioner); two-year wait if interlock for six months; five-year wait if no interlock; may be eligible under 411.0736 if ineligible under this section
Of course, a petitioner under any section of the Government Code cannot have been in trouble for anything other than a traffic ticket during any applicable waiting period.
Importantly, Section 411.0755 explicitly states that the person who has obtained the nondisclosure is not required in any application for employment, information, or licensing to state that the person has been the subject of any criminal proceeding related to the information that is the subject of the order of nondisclosure. However, Section 411.0775 states that the criminal history record information that has been sealed may be admitted in trial during any subsequent offense if the information is admissible under the Rules of Evidence or disclosed to a prosecuting attorney for a criminal justice purpose.
The remainder of the sections detail the requirements for petitions and orders; they are substantive. Are you feeling overwhelmed about preparing a petition with all the (relatively) new nuances? Don't. The Office of Court Administration has a form petition and order for each type of nondisclosure at https://www.txcourts.gov/rules-forms/orders-of-nondisclosure.
Helping a client expunge or seal their record is a happy part of our job. There's no real risk involved and it's something the client wants. We could all use a fresh start every so often. So, let's be a part of helping our clients achieve their own fresh start.
P.S. – You may notice a fresh, clean look to the Voice this year, too! We are always striving to improve and get you the best quality publication possible. We officially welcome Billy Huntsman as TCLDA's new communications director. Be sure to send your articles and let us know how we can continue to improve.

JUDITH TOMLANOVICH MILLER '61
"I am stunned," was the reaction of Judith Tomlanovich Miller '61 when she learned she had been chosen as a Marygrove Distinguished Alumna. That is because Judy's friends Emily Butler Petrarca '61 and Maryann Dolan secretly collaborated with Judy's husband Chuck to nominate her. In summing up Judy's extraordinary contributions to lay and Catholic communities, children, the aged and the abused, Emily says, "When she sees a need she 'goes for it.'"
Judy's fond recollections of Marygrove include the encouragement to question what one read or heard. She also recalls the emphasis on social service imbued in her college experience and says she pushed a book cart at a senior residence.
After several early moves about the country while her husband Chuck established his credentials as an economist, the family, which also included a son and daughter, settled in Gaithersburg, Maryland where Judy became immersed in St. Rose parish life serving on the religious education committee among others. In the early 1980s a group of women in the parish were yearning for an exploration of feminine spirituality. Responding to the need, Judy co-founded a group called Wise Women to enable women to learn, share, explore and deepen their spiritual life. Her friend Maryann Dolan says, "Judy gave us a model of collaboration that still exists in our active group." During this period, Judy also served as chairperson of food donations and distribution for Gaithersburg Help.
According to her husband, Judy, who had been a teacher, was attracted to the field of aging, the growing numbers and the needs of the elderly. She earned a master's degree and Certificate in Gerontology from the University of Maryland-College Park. She began as a social worker at the Montgomery County Department of Social Services. Next Judy became the director of the Friendly Visitor and Pets on Wheels Programs of the Mental Health Association of Montgomery County from 1984-2000. She reached out to isolated elderly homebound people matching them with visiting volunteers and supporting the relationship with resources. These programs provided socialization and support for the elderly and disabled.
Throughout her life, Judy has responded to the needs of others. When the sexual abuse crisis by the Catholic clergy burst upon the front pages of the newspapers in 2002, Judy immediately decided that something had to be done. She led several dozen Catholics to establish an affiliate of the national organization Voice of the Faithful (VOTF) in Montgomery County. Judy served as president of the VOTF affiliate until she left the area. The major focus of the Maryland VOTF was to support legislation to eliminate, or at least relax, the statute of limitations on filing civil suits for childhood sexual abuse so that victims can have their day in court. Judy, a person not easily intimidated, testified a number of times in the Maryland Legislature in support of reform legislation including strengthening requirements for institutions and individuals to report suspected sexual abuse of children.
After moving to Delaware in 2007, Judy continued her concern for sexual abuse victims and was named Delaware Director for the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, known as SNAP. The Delaware Legislature had just passed the Child Victims Act which eliminated the civil statute of limitation for child sexual abuse and provided a two year window to allow previously time-barred suits to be filed. For the past four years she has supported survivors during the lawsuit process and the subsequent filing for bankruptcy by the diocese of Wilmington, Delaware. She coordinates a monthly self-help meeting for survivors. Almost daily, Judy commiserates with sexual abuse survivors over the phone, attends their trials in civil court, and meets with them to hear their tragic stories. Some of the survivors even call her "mom." She continues to raise awareness of the issue through news conferences, demonstrations and distribution of printed material.
Judy also joined an "intentional Catholic community" in nearby Pennsylvania which has challenged some of the traditions of the Catholic Church such as male only priesthood. In 2008, she co-founded Women of Vision, a spiritual sharing and learning group in the Wilmington, Delaware area similar to the Wise Women of Gaithersburg.
Judy's busy life also includes full time child care for her three year old grandson and two year old granddaughter. Her husband also is a member of the child care team.

Enochian Theory ist eine britische Progressive-Rock- und -Metal-Band aus Portsmouth, die im Jahr 2004 gegründet wurde.

Geschichte
Die Band wurde gegen Ende des Jahres 2004 gegründet. Zusammen entwickelten sie einige Lieder, woraus ihr Debütalbum A Monument to the Death of an Idea entstand, das im Juni 2006 aufgenommen, abgemischt und co-produziert wurde. Die Band gründete ihr eigenes Label namens Anomalousz Music Records im Januar 2007. Sieben Monate später unterschrieb die Band außerdem einen Vertrag bei Plastic Head Distribution für den Vertrieb.

Im August 2008 begannen die Arbeiten zum zweiten Album. Als Produzent war dabei David Castillo tätig. Nachdem die Arbeiten dazu beendet waren, wurde Evolution: Creatio Ex Nihilio im August 2009 nur in Europa veröffentlicht. Im selben Jahr trat die Band außerdem auf dem ProgPower Europe auf und war für zwei Auszeichnungen bei den italienischen Prog Awards nominiert. Im November folgte noch ein Auftritt zusammen mit Katatonia.

Im Mai 2010 erreichte die Band einen Vertrag mit Mascot Records für eine Wiederveröffentlichung von Evolution: Creatio Ex Nihilio, was am 27. September geschah. Das Album erhielt Reviews in diversen Magazinen wie etwa dem deutschen Rock Hard oder dem deutschen Metal Hammer. Im Juli 2010 trat die Band auf dem Metalcamp in Slowenien auf, dem eine Europatournee im September mit Spock's Beard folgte.

Im März 2011 folgte eine Tour durch Großbritannien zusammen mit Jurojin und Touchstone. Nachdem die Band Ende des letzten Jahres bereits mit den Arbeiten zu einem weiteren Album begonnen hatte, begab sich die Gruppe im August 2011 in die britischen Aubitt Studios, um dort mit Produzent Rob Aubrey das nächste Album aufzunehmen. Im Jahr 2012 wurde das Album  Life... And All It Entails veröffentlicht. Zudem wurde auch noch ein Musikvideo für das Lied The Fire Around the Lotus aufgenommen.

Stil
Die Band spielt klassischen progressiven Rock und Metal und wird dabei mit Bands wie Riverside, Pain of Salvation, Fates Warning und Anathema verglichen.

Stewart is not a 'bad boy"
Published 8:00 pm EDT, Wednesday, July 16, 2008
He's been given part ownership of Haas CNC Racing. It will be renamed Stewart Haas Racing and Tony will be the full time driver. A second team will be announced at a later time.
Tony has been labeled as one of NASCAR's "bad boys," but he's really not a bad person.
He's usually the first one to speak out about something he doesn't agree with in NASCAR, and that gets him into trouble.
But like him or not, when you look behind the race car driver, you find a very giving man.
He's the only driver to give the Victory Junction Gang Camp $3 million of his own money.
The camp is a place where terminally ill children can go with their families and have all their expenses paid, including their medical care, for a vacation.
I recently read a story on nascar.com about Tony granting a wish through the "Make a Wish Foundation," to a 17-year-old girl who was terminally ill and wanted to meet him.
He was only supposed to meet her at the race track and give her an autograph, but Tony decided to take her along with him for the day.
Then there's the time he saw something on TV in Florida about a stray dog that was in need of very expensive medical care, but the shelter was short on funds. Tony called his mother, who runs the Tony Stewart Foundation, and had her send a check to the shelter for $18,000. It more than covered the dog's expenses.
When floods recently swept through his home state of Indiana, he went home to help.
He visited a school that was being used as a shelter for people who were evacuated from their homes and managed to put a smile on everyone's face.
When a mother deer living on Tony's 400-acre property lost her life in the floods, Tony took her four-day-old fawn in and bottled fed the animal to good health. He has about 120 deer on his property that are all well fed.
There's truly not enough space to tell you what he does every day for charity. You can learn more by logging onto the Tony Stewart Foundation.
So let's give Tony a break, because underneath that so called "bad boy" is a man with a big heart.
Bill Deak of New Milford was 13th at the Accord Speedway this past weekend after the brakes failed on his race car. Billy Jr. was running third when he got a flat tire that dropped him to sixth.

The Reason For Recent Catalytic Converter Thefts in Rochester?
Kim David Published: February 11, 2021
(Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)
Rochester, MN (KROC AM News) - There have been numerous reports of catalytic converter thefts in Rochester in recent months. And it appears to be a national problem.
The New York Times is reporting similar thefts around the country.
The apparent reason for the thefts? Some of the materials used to manufacture the automotive emission-reducing devices.
According to the NY Times story, the costs of what's called "precious metals" have skyrocketed due to stricter emission controls in numerous countries.
According to the story:
The price of palladium has shot up from $500 an ounce five years ago to nearly $3,000 last year. The price of rhodium went from $640 an ounce five years ago to almost $22,000 this year. Compare these figures to the price of gold as of Thursday morning - $1840 per ounce.
Nearly 100 of the devices were reported stolen in Rochester in November and December - including almost 30 that were removed from trucks at U-Haul Moving & Storage. Costs to replace the devices can be significant, some as high as $3,000 or more.
Rochester Police Capt. Casey Moilanen says the thefts have mostly involved Honda and Toyota vehicles.
Here is a summary of catalytic converter thefts reported in Rochester between July 2020 and Feb. 10, 2021:

Die Fußballauswahl von St. Helena ist die "Fußballnationalmannschaft" von St. Helena, einem gleichberechtigten Teil des Britischen Überseegebietes St. Helena, Ascension und Tristan da Cunha. Die St. Helena Football Association hat die Mannschaft erstmals im Juni 2019, fast 100 Jahre nach Gründung des Verbandes, entsandt. Der Verband ist weder Mitglied der FIFA noch eines Kontinentalverbands.

Die Mannschaft trat bei den Inter Games im Fußball an, die 2019 als Ersatz für das nicht ausgetragene Fußballturnier der Island Games stattfanden. Nach einer 2:7-Niederlage im Freundschaftsspiel gegen die Fußballauswahl von Anglesey verlor die Fußballauswahl auch gegen die Fußballmannschaften der Shetland-Inseln, von Guernsey und der Western Isles mit 1:6, 0:9 und 1:2 und belegte damit den zehnten und letzten Platz.

Katherine Heigl Hilariously Reacts To Racy Meaning Of Harry Styles' Song
Katherine Heigl got a bit of a shock to the system after sharing what appeared to be a sweet family video on Tuesday.
The "Grey's Anatomy" alum posted a clip of her husband, singer Josh Kelley, and their daughters dancing to a clip of Harry Styles' hit song "Watermelon Sugar."
The three would turn around to wave at the camera each time Styles sang "hi" while the video played on a massive TV.
Though it all appears innocent enough, a commenter wrote on Heigl's page that the song was perhaps not as family-friendly as the actor thought.
"This song is about going down on women but the kids don't need to know that," the user wrote, in an exchange captured by the Instagram account Comments By Celebs.
Heigl hilariously responded with, "The kids??!! What about me??!! … I have no idea what I thought the song was about but oral sex never once crossed my mind."
"I guess Harry and I have different adjectives to describe the experience," she quipped.
Kelley weighed in on the situation as well, writing "Haha I wasn't even looking at the video !! @harrystyles you dirty bruh 😂😜" on Heigl's page.
For the record, Styles has never officially confirmed the theory that "Watermelon Sugar" refers to oral sex, though the music video and a close reading of the lyrics provides ample clues.
Some people wrote said that it was their first time hearing the theory about the song's meaning.
"Was not aware either. Thanks for keeping me informed," Jamie Lynn Spears commented.
"Perfect. It's my kids favorite song to sing super loud for all to hear," another commenter joked. Another added, "This is my 3 year old son's favorite song 😬😬."
Others thought that the song's inferred meaning was pretty obvious, though.
"People who didn't what this song is about also think 'Cake By the Ocean,' is a song about eating cake by the beach," a user wrote.
Another exasperated fan added, "How did people NOT realize this? All you have to do is listen to the other lyrics. 'Breathe me in, breathe me out' 'I want your belly…' 'It's so wonderful and warm' Like come on guys."
Others chimed in with funny mistakes they'd made with other songs and phrases.
"HAHA! I once told everyone I work with that my kids like to 'Netflix and Chill,' When the young people I work with filled me in I almost died," someone wrote.
Much like Heigl and her family, even the royals didn't understand the hidden meaning behind the song.
The team behind Kate Middleton and Prince William's Kensington Palace Instagram account used the song for a social media post to mark the duke's visit to Belfast for Emergency Services Day in September.
Commenters again had a field day with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's "saucy" song choice:

The Asia Pacific endpoint security market is growing due to the high rate of cyber-crimes and the extensive use of internet. India was ranked among the top five countries to be affected by cybercrimes in 2017, according to the Internet Security Threat Report (ISTR) by an online security firm Symantec. According to the ISTR by Symantec, Australia ranked second for having the highest proportion of malicious email-borne attack links in 2017. The rise in cyberattacks on government institutions and corporate networks has resulted in the adoption of firewall & encryption technologies mandatory with features such as application identification and control. The growing concerns for data breaches and the use of cloud computing platforms will help to stimulate the spending on the cloud firewall market.
The healthcare sector is expected to hold a market share of over 16% in 2024 due to the rising incidents of cyberattacks on healthcare networks. The rising cyberattacks in the healthcare industry due to internet-connected devices will increase the need to adopt advanced endpoint security solutions, such as intrusion prevention, anti-virus, and endpoint application control, to minimize the network vulnerabilities.
The Japan endpoint security market is projected to register an accelerated growth of over 8% between 2017 and 2024. Global cybersecurity companies are expanding their presence in Japan, strengthening the country's cybersecurity infrastructure and offering advanced cybersecurity products to customers. In August 2016, Cylance, an American cybersecurity company, opened its new office in Japan to support the regional customers as well as OEMs. The Japanese government is currently working on various policies and training initiatives to improve the country's cyber rating. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) launched the IoT Cybersecurity Action Program in January 2017, which accelerates the government's efforts to build a skilled cyber workforce and establish a training center.
Some of the key vendors in the Asia Pacific endpoint security market include Symantec, Webroot Cisco, ESET, McAfee, Kaspersky Lab, VIPRE, Trend Micro, Sophos, Microsoft, Ahnlab, Comodo, Panda Security, IBM, and F-Secure.

Chicago Bears' Alshon Jeffrey Issues Statement Following PED Policy Violation Suspension
By Carlo Monzon ( [email protected] ) Nov 15, 2016 08:47 AM EST Comment

The NFL has decided to suspend wide receiver Alshon Jeffrey of the Chicago Bears for four game for violating the league's policy regarding the use of performance enhancing drugs. Although Jeffrey will only miss a couple of weeks, this suspension could affect his tenure with the team since he is about to become a free agent next year.
In a statement released by Jeffrey, he explained that he takes supplements recommended by doctors to deal with his current condition. However, he was not aware that one of the supplements he took included a substance that was on the NFL's banned list.
"As a professional athlete, I have been careful about what I put in my body," he said. "I took a recommended supplement to combat inflammation. Unfortunately this supplement contained an ingredient that was on the NFL's banned substance list. I take full responsibility and I'm deeply upset with myself for not doing the proper research on this supplement."
"I want to apologize to my family, the Bears organization, my teammates, and Bears fans," he added. "I will work hard to earn back the respect and trust of the Bears nation and look forward to being back on the field."
Jeffrey's suspension takes effect immediately which means he will miss the upcoming four games against the New York Giants, Tennessee Titans, San Francisco 49ers and the Detroit Lions.
For the following four weeks, Deonte Thompson will probably serve as the team's temporary starting wide receiver until Jeffrey comes back.
Losing Jeffrey to a suspension is the second big blow to hit the Chicago franchise. Aside from him, Kyle Long was also ruled out for the rest of the season due to an injury.
But aside from its effect on the Bears, the suspension could also affect Jeffrey's chances of re-signing a contract extension with the team.
He officially joined the Chicago organization in 2012 after signing a four-year contract. In February of this year, the Bears placed a franchise tag on him for this season. Next year though, he will become an unrestricted free agent. However, given this current issue and declining performance, the team might decide not to extend his contract.

60 Seconds with Louie St Claire, Harvard
September 8, 2016 /in Interviews /by Gorkana News Editor
Louie St Claire, managing director at Harvard, talks to Gorkana about tech specialism, hiring the right people and what it takes to be successful in the PR industry.
What led you to specialise in technology?
I had a serendipitous start in tech. I worked at a one-man band straight out of University for a guy that ran the global press tour after the moon landing. To say it was old school is an understatement. We won a little bit of business with HP and they wanted to talk to us via email, not fax, so I set up their first computer and connected it to the internet. I've been in technology ever since, although technology is everything and anything these days.
What's new or exciting in the sector?
The fantastic thing about the tech sector is that it constantly re-invents itself. According to Market Realist, in 2009 there were 750 technology acquisitions globally, valued at around $30bn, by 2015 those figures had risen to just over 3,000 with a combined value of $140bn. I think it's fair to say that the sector has enjoyed a boom in the last few years with more to come. Fintech is a great example, growing out of the financial meltdown in 2008. Elsewhere, augmented reality is about to rocket, Pokemon Go is just the start and I think that when Apple starts to hire automotive engineers we'll see something exciting in the car tech space!
What would you say are the primary issues or opportunities affecting the PR industry in 2016?
I get very frustrated with the constant narrative around the demise of the PR industry. The starting point for any communications is the ability to link what a business does to the story it wants to tell through some kind of audience insight. Advertising does this from a pure brand perspective and PR from the outside-in, neither are going anywhere and everything else just sits in-between.
The only thing that has changed is that the internet has increased the number of ways we can reach people and the ability to measure that more effectively. That is to be embraced, not feared.
What are Harvard's challenges and how do you address them?
The single biggest challenge that will affect our growth is the ability to bring strong people into the business. We will need 10 new people in 2017 from creatives to content editors, account managers to SEO specialists. With the right people, in the right roles, everything else tends to fall into place.
What do you enjoy most about agency life?
For me it's all about working with like-minded people, brilliant teams and the variety day-to-day. I also get a massive kick out of the commercial day-to-day cut and thrust of running an agency.
How do you become a successful PR professional?
You need drive, enthusiasm and a genuine passion for the area that you choose to work in as a starter for 10. After that it's about strong decision-making and a curiosity to keep learning.
Does your PR career affect your life outside of work? How?
It can be a tough balancing act, the PR job is never over and family life with three young children is pretty busy, so any pinch points are usually around lack of time. That said, I'm very lucky and have the best of both worlds and I love what I do.

In a presentation, diagrams and other elements should appear in the center on various slides. But, this is not always accurate with a mouse and appears unprofessional during the presentation.
PowerPoint has integrated commands for automatic alignment of in the menu, but on the toolbar "Drawing" that can be faded in with "View | Toolbars | Drawing".
Position the necessary drawing on the slide and select it. Then click the "Draw" button in the drawing toolbar and open "Align or Distribute | Relative to slide". You will then have to extend the menu by clicking the double arrow pointing downwards. When the "Relative to slide" option is active, all other commands will become active in this menu. You can now use the "Draw | Align or Distribute | Align horizontally" and "Draw | Align or Distribute | Align vertically" commands from the toolbar one after the other.
The selected drawing element sets the correct combination of the individual commands at the borders or corners of the respective slide. Then use the commands "Flush left" and "Align bottom" to move the element exactly to the bottom left corner.
You can support more complex requirements when aligning from the toolbar with the command "Draw | Grid and Guides". In the next dialog, the "Snap objects to grid" option must be activated. In the grid settings, determine the spacing of the grid in the "Spacing" combination field. For usual tasks, 0.5 or 1 cm is mostly adequate. With that, a proportionate alignment is reliable. The maximum resolution is 0.1 cm. In this case, you should justify in an enlarged view so that the objects are aligned at the same grid line even later. Activate the "Display grid on screen" option and confirm the dialog with "OK". Also pay attention to the fact that the grid always uses the left and top lines of the drawing element for alignment.

The Best Street Food Dishes to Try in Rio De Janeiro
Cooking pastels at the farmer's markets |© michael_swan/Flickr
You will certainly find satisfaction and flair in Rio de Janeiro's upscale restaurants and hipster joints, yet there's nothing better than sinking your teeth into the true taste of the city – through its street food. Made from years of tradition and with roots in Europe, indigenous cultures and Africa, Rio's street food is one of a kind and not only is it hearty and delicious, it's also budget-friendly. Don't skip these top ten street foods to try when you're in Rio.
On a Sunday morning, don't feel guilty about heading to the nearby farmer's market and tucking into a large, deep-fried pastel for breakfast. After all, it's tradition. The pastels are filled with different options such as cheese, dried meat, or shredded chicken before being fried in hot, sizzling oil and handed to you wrapped up in a simple sheet of paper. All pastels are best accompanied with a good gulp of fresh, cold, caldo de cana (sugarcane juice).

Sold on the street corners of the South Zone, tapioca (or cassava flour) is fried with shredded coconut to create thick, gluten-free pancakes and then filled with either sweet or savory options to cater for any whim. The ham and cheese tapioca make a filling snack bordering on meal, and who can resist the chocolate spread tapioca filled with chopped banana or strawberries?
Pão de queijo are a mix of cassava flour and mild cheese, usually Minas Gerais cheese, and baked to create round, hot cheesy buns. Sold either as a portion of small pão de queijo breads or as one large bun, they are an easy, on-the-go snack or the perfect breakfast when served with a smear of butter and a strong, black coffee.

Street vendors can be seen on the street corners with small wagons popping popcorn throughout the day and evening. Pipoca (popcorn) is not limited to days out at the cinema and is a popular everyday snack. However, Brazilian popcorn has a twist – it's cooked with pieces of chopped bacon, giving the popcorn a smoky taste and leaving an irresistible lingering smell in the air.
Bolinho de bacalhau have their origins in the Portuguese love of codfish (bacalhau is 'codfish' in Portuguese). The fish is pulled apart into small flakes and rolled into balls with seasoning and herbs before being coated in flour and deep-fried. They are best served warm and with a hint of chili-infused oil for an added kick.
Coxinha
The ultimate stodgy treat, the coxinha is shredded chicken covered in a thick dumpling-like dough which is then deep-fried for a crispy outside, squidgy inside texture. One of the best places in Rio de Janeiro to try coxinhas is Fornalha, a low-key, takeaway bakery which sells classic homemade coxinhas and ones with cream cheese in too.

A popular coastal city street food, açaí is made using crushed açaí berries which are then blended with ice and sugar before being served plain or with granola, honey, or chopped strawberries and banana. While it's nutritious, it is loaded with calories and makes a substantial snack, especially after a day of lazing on the beach or a workout.
Acai Pixabay
A day sunbathing on the beach can work up an appetite and the best ways to satisfy that is to make the most of the street food that is brought to the beach by local vendors. The queijo coalho is a thick piece of cheese with a similar texture to halloumi that is skewered on a wooden stick and grilled under a portable stove with a sprinkle of oregano.
Empadas
Sold in small streetside wagons dotted throughout the city, empadas are small pies with a light pastry and packed with delicious fillings such as prawns, cheese, dried meat and shredded chicken. Enjoy them on-the-go as a quick snack or head to a classic Brazilian boteco (bar) to slowly savor the taste accompanied with an extra cold chopp (glass) of beer.

When you want a quick snack but only something sweet will do, make a beeline to the street wagons selling brigadeiros. Brigadeiros are condensed milk heated up with cocoa powder which is rolled into small balls and covered with chocolate sprinkles. They are delicious and dangerously moreish.

Eagles Study Abroad with Aegean Airlines in Greece
Ginger Pinholster
Assistant Vice President of News/Research Communications
pinholsv@erau.edu
Amid stunning natural beauty, Embry-Riddle students and faculty convened on May 22 in the mountainous, picturesque Zagorohoria region of Greece. Their goal was to take part in a unique university-industry partnership with Aegean Airlines.
The award-winning program in Greece is one of 16 study abroad offerings directed by 24 Embry-Riddle faculty members for 220 students this summer, said Sue Macchiarella, director of the office of global engagement on the Daytona Beach, Fla., campus. Her office offers study abroad opportunities in regions ranging from Australia and Austria, to Germany, Greece, Ireland, Kosovo and Spain.
Because little English is spoken in Zagorohoria, students quickly became immersed in the culture of Greece as they took part in adventures such as hiking and white-water rafting while also preparing for a business embedment opportunity with Aegean Airlines, explained Charles "Les" Westbrooks, associate professor of aeronautical science. He was one of four faulty members who brought expertise related to aviation, business, communications and aviation maintenance to this summer's study abroad program in Greece.
After five nights in Zagorohoria, Westbrooks reported, Embry-Riddle students boarded a flight to Athens, Greece, where they received briefings from key Aegean Airlines employees in charge of planning and alliances, revenue management, international brand promotion, operations and maintenance.
Next, the students "began working on projects developed through collaboration between the Aegean Airlines practitioners and our faculty," Westbrooks said. "For example, the business students worked with revenue management staff to evaluate new routes and schedules, while maintenance students worked with the maintenance director to solve mechanical problems. Flight operations students worked with the director of flight dispatch to solve an inflight diversion caused by a mechanical failure exacerbated by geopolitical conflicts."
Embry-Riddle students also toured facilities at Aegean Airlines as well as Athens International Airport, and they flew on the flight deck of an Aegean A-320. That experience let them learn first-hand about a modern airline's approach to flight operations and customer service. Finally, the students heard a presentation by none other than Aegean's CEO Dimitrios Gerogiannis.
Embry-Riddle was introduced to Aegean Airlines through its travel-service partner in Greece, Get Lost, Inc., Macchiarella explained. However, thanks to Embry-Riddle alumni Tassos Raftopoulos, Aegean's network planning manager, the airline already knew about the university's reputation as a global leader in aviation.
"Thanks to this partnership, our students get to go behind the scenes with a top regional airline in Europe, and they get to work with Aegean professionals, using their academic knowledge to help solve real problems presented by Aegean Airlines," Macchiarella said. "The culture at Aegean is phenomenal. I'm so glad our students get to see and experience it."
Wrapping up their experience, students toured the Aegean Sea.
"The beauty of this method of study has been a synergistic blend of classroom theories with real-world application and the accessibility of the professors," Westbrooks said. "Our embedded faculty are accessible to the students 24 hours a day."
The Greek Ministry of Tourism previously gave a bronze award to Embry-Riddle and its partner in Greece, Get Lost LLC, for the study abroad program there.
Along with Westbrooks, faculty leading this summer's program in Greece were Michael Williams, dean of Embry-Riddle's College of Business on the Daytona Beach, Fla., campus; Rachel Silverman, assistant professor of communication; and Mitchell Geraci, associate professor of aviation maintenance.
Study abroad programs are also available to students at Embry-Riddle's Prescott, Ariz., Campus as well as many enrolled with Embry-Riddle Worldwide.

HOUSTON _ The only difference 40 games into his new career is the color of his t-shirt.
Brett Lawrie's tattoos are the same.
He still talks at 98 mph.
He has just walked into the hallway from the weight room inside the visiting clubhouse at Minute Maid Park Monday night.
The only difference between Brett Lawrie, new Oakland A's third baseman, at the 1/4 pole of the 2015 season and a year ago is that he now wears a green shirt.
"It's been awesome here, to see how another organization works, we have it all here, we've had a ton of one-run losses, we haven't had that hammer punch out yet, but it's been a pleasure playing here even though we are scuffling a little, we're not going to let that bug us," said Lawrie, when asked how he was enjoying his new club.
Jays fans were over the moon for the Langley, B.C. native from the time he arrived in a trade with the Milwaukee Brewers at the 2010 winter meetings in Orlando.
Last year the Jays sold game-worn jerseys from Jose Bautista for $1,500. Munenori Kawasaki and Lawrie's went for $1,000 a pop.
"I've been traded before, I'm not angry with Alex (Anthopoulos) or anyone," said Lawrie shipped west with right-handers Kendall Graveman and Sean Nolin, plus shortstop Franklin Barreto for third baseman Josh Donaldson.
You thought the Blue Jays -- four games under .500 after Monday afternoon's 10-6 win over the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim -- were struggling?
The A's, bumped their record in one-run games to 2-13 (14-26 record ... worst mark in the majors) when they ruined Lance McCullers Houston Astros in his major-league debut on Monday. Lawrie drove in the winning run in the sixth inning is hitting .255 with two homers, 14 RBIs and a .640 OPS. He's made six errors.
"It doesn't matter what our record is, this is a good bunch, the talent is here, we need to find that hammer punch to win some games," Lawrie said.
Lawrie says he doesn't follow the Blue Jays on a daily basis, but he did know that the Jays were swept by the Astros this weekend.
The big concern the Jays had about Lawrie was not a lack of respect of Lawrie's abilities, but they worried if he could stay healthy enough and long enough, to contribute. He arrived Aug. 5, 2011, and of the next 538 games the Jays played he made 311 starts (57.8%).
"He's fit in well," said A's manager Bob Melvin, "he plays as hard as anyone in the league and brings energy to the clubhouse and the lineup.
Lawrie did text spring training house mate and ex-Jays teammate Adam Lind the other day to see how life was "with the new manager." Milwaukee Brewers manager Ron Roenicke was fired after 25 games with Craig Counsell taking over. Adjusting to new managers is nothing knew to Lind who played for John Gibbons 1.0, Cito Gaston 2.0, John Farrell and Gibbons 2.0 during his Jays days.
Lawrie said he has not yet noticed the extra strain of travelling from the west coast players often complain about.
The A's have already had their two longest trips: an 11-game trip (Arlington, Tex., Minneapolis and Seattle) (and a 10-gamer to Houston, Kansas City and Anahiem) off the books, so they have 15 home dates in August and 14 in September.
Seven years ago this week Lawrie boarded a plane bound for the Dominican Republic with the Canadian Junior National Team. In his second last day he hit five home runs -- two to left, two to right and on to straightaway centre -- in a doubleheader off 90 mph fastballs each pitch. Brewers scout Tom McNamara was there and scouting director Jack Zduriencik selected Lawrie 16th over-all in North America, giving him a $1.7 million US signing bonus.
Now, Zduriencik is the GM of the Seattle Mariners and McNamara the scouting director. Last June they gave North York's Gareth Morgan a $2 million bonus.
This year's trip to the Dominican leaves Wednesday with Mississauga's Josh Naylor, Calgary's Mike Soroka and outfielder Demi Orimoloye all ranked in the top 100 picks (which equates to going in the first three rounds June 8-10.
What advice does Lawrie have for the two sluggers and right-hander Soroka?
"Don't worry about who is in the stands, don't worry about the draft, just worry about playing for Canada ... go and play for your team," said Lawrie. "I look back so fondly on those days. They were so exciting. We're all Canadians.
So, who won the Jays-A's trade of third basemen?
"When the baseball numbers stack at the end of the year we'll see," said Lawrie.


When the blood feeding to certain place in the body is decreased in little proportions, must be taken in account the established parameter for its operation, is recommended not exceed its use.
The use of cold as a medical treatment may seem relatively recent but a brief review of cryotherapy history shows that it's not the case.
In the year 2500 B.C., Egyptians used cold, aware of its analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect. These properties are precisely those that make its use very popular since 19th century.
Low temperatures application for media time periods at corporal and facial level through an hydraulic cooling circuit and using bands in superficial contact with the patient's skin, with clinic, therapeutic and aesthetic purposes. The equipment is programmed to perform fixed temperature sessions, as stablished by medical an therapeutic studies, in order to perform more efficient and safe therapies.
At the clinical level, Cryotherapy helps to treatments such as fractures recovery, dislocations, muscular exhaustion, spasms, pain, etc. It is important to know that when our body suffers any type of damage in the muscular tissue and / or articulations, blood vessels in the injured zone are broken and begin a flow provocating inflammation, while the near zones who are resentful, send pulses to the brain which inmediatly sends back an answer converted in pain.
With the application of DERMOCELL CRYOTHERAPY, an analgesia is obtained, this is, the affected zone is numb in order to slow the the pulses sent to the brain and so decrease the response, in this case, the pain. Also the low temperatures stop the intern bleeding, stopping and decreasing the inflammation.
Its use in the aesthetic field is very efficient due to the rigidity and tonicity given to the collagen by the low temperatures located in different zones of the body. When these fibers are stimulated, an important elasticity decrease is achieved, which allows the contraction of these cells, showing a better skin appearance, firm and invigorated muscles.
Contraction of blood vessels and superficial tissues to strengthen and release the muscular fatigue.
If patient has some degree of hypothermia before the treatment, do not performe the procedure until achieve the adecuate corporal heat: 37°C.
Inspect the application area in order to determine that there is no cutaneous injury, herpes, allergies, etc. Otherwise, do not perform the procedure.
Do not perform the therapy in renal nor lumbar zone, and protect wital organs with a wipe, in order to avoid the direct contact with cold.
Do not perform the therapy on open wounds.
Initial decrease in blood flow, arteries and capillaries.
Posterior increase in blood flow.


Why do you need a garbage disposal?
Aside from the gut wrenching fear of recovering an item that has fallen in there with your hand, garbage disposals are very wasteful.
A worm bin and outdoor compost pile make this common household appliance unnecessary. Everything that goes in the disposal can go in your worm bin or your outdoor compost pile.
Some people call their disposal the "pig". Likely, because the disposal takes the place of the family pet pig that would eat the food waste. Vermicomposting is much slower than feeding a pig, but worms are far more manageable for keeping indoors.
Did you know: disposals use about 500,000 gallons of water per day in the United States (both in your sink and during sewage treatment).
Food scraps make up at least 10% of space in our landfills and off-gas methane, a greenhouse gas.
Through composting a typical household can keep 500 lb of biodegradable kitchen and garden waste out of landfills every year! That is per home!!
Do you feel empowered? I do. Feed your soil, not the sewer or landfill.


I wrote the Elixir Behavior Tree library. This talk explores what a behavior tree is, how it is used in AI and robotics, and how it differs from decision trees and state machines. I describe how it relies on the Zipper Tree, emphasizing the technique of encoding logic into declarative data structures, and I will contrast my design decisions and implementation in Elixir against other mutable, non-functional languages that behavior trees are usually written in. I will pull it all together with a cool demo, iterating on a behavior tree AI that plays Battleship.
I am a polyglot and functional programing enthusiast, with a background in screenwriting, and a hobby of making web games. I have lived and worked in Denver, LA, Bristol (UK), and Seattle.

European Anti-Semitism
Tony Judt has written a fine article (or here or here) on the systematic abuse of the term 'anti-Semitism' by Americans and Zionists in referring to Europe:
". . . whereas most Europeans believe that the problem originates in the Middle East and must therefore be addressed there, the ADL and many American commentators conclude rather that there is no longer any difference between being 'against' Israel and 'against' Jews: i.e., that in Europe anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism have become synonymous. But that is palpably false. Some of the highest levels of pro-Palestinian sympathy in Europe today are recorded in Denmark, a country that also registers as one of the least anti-Semitic by the ADL's own criteria – and the ADL has worked harder than anyone to propagate the image of rampant European anti-Semitism. Another country with a high level of support for the Arabs of Palestine is the Netherlands; yet according to the ADL the Dutch have the lowest anti-Semitic quotient in Europe, and 83 percent of Dutch citizens believe the government should take a role in combating anti-Semitism.
In other words, some of the most widespread pro-Palestinian and even anti-Zionist views are to be found in countries that have long been – and still are – decidedly philo-Semitic."
"It is the policies of Israeli governments, especially in the past two decades, that have provoked widespread anti-Jewish feelings in Europe and elsewhere. This may seem absurd, but there is a certain tragic logic to it. Zionists have always insisted that there is no distinction between the Jewish people and the Jewish state. The latter offers a right of citizenship to Jews anywhere in the world. Israel is not the state of all its citizens, much less all its residents; it is the state of (all) Jews. Its leaders purport to speak for Jews everywhere. They can hardly be surprised when their own behavior provokes a backlash against ... Jews."
and (my emphasis):
"What, then, is to be done? Those of us who take seriously the problem of anti-Semitism – but who utterly reject the suggestion that we ourselves are in danger of sympathizing with anti-Semitism under the guise of anti-Zionism – must begin by constructing and defending a firewall between the two. Israel does not speak for Jews; but Israel's claim to speak for Jews everywhere is the chief reason that anti-Israel sentiments are transposed into Judeophobia. Jews and others must learn to shed inhibitions and criticize Israel's policies and actions just as they would those of any other established state."
There is racist hatred everywhere, but Europe is doing as good a job as anyone has ever done in dealing with it. The only reason we hear so much about the supposed rise of European anti-Semitism is because it is part of the ongoing propaganda war of the Zionists to continue the racist and criminal activities of the State of Israel (and whenever you hear about the Holocaust it is just more public relations spin to cover up the abuse of Arabs who had nothing to do with it). The way things are headed, the Jewish people are going to be around a lot longer than Israel, and many people are going to be sorry that they allowed the Zionists to misuse and manipulate charges of anti-Jewish hatred in order to further their evil goals. To show how ridiculous the Zionist position is becoming, Germany is considering putting restrictions on the ability of Jews from the states of the former Soviet Union to immigrate to Germany. Despite the fact that they would be welcomed with front page news stories, not to mention free housing paid for by American dollars on Palestinian land, Jewish people are voting with their feet and choosing to live in the country of the Holocaust. These Jews know where the real anti-Semites live.

Q: custom client localization form Win Forms I have big WinForms project,and now i need to create module,where client can create/update/delete its own localization to a project (dataGrid Name-Value,like resx files).Also we need a default localization.But in WinForms every form has own resx file=( What the best way to realize this feature?Xml file or it could be done by resx files.
In previous version of the project (unfortunately no source code) it was jsut text Key-Value file.

A: There are diffrent way to approch that topic. On top of my head i have 2 solutions for that problem.
First solution
Since *.resx files are compiled into executable you cannot really modify them, but since you are using them already easiest approach would be to change reference from original build in *.resx file to one you have made and put in your folder hierarchy. That way you could use your build in files as default and search for other languages if they exists replace them.
This might help you Modifying .resx file in c#
Downside of this approach is that resx files are c# classes and could be realy hard to edit outside of Visual Studio editor.
Second solution
If you have time to move all of your default texts to *.xml files you could do that and use similar approach like in *.resx file. Since i found it easier to create and edit xml files this could save your day. Downside of that approach is time required to connect every string to your windows forms app.

Juan Mata opens up about his rift with Jose Mourinho
Tony Cuddihy
Mata left Chelsea in January to join Manchester United and believes he's in a far better situation.
Juan Mata says he had 'no relationship' with Jose Mourinho during their time at Chelsea together and is much happier with life under Louis van Gaal.
Mourinho criticised Mata for not working hard enough last season and the Spaniard played in only 13 of the Blues' opening 22 league games.
This was despite having been named as the club's Player of the Season for the two previous campaigns and the playmaker says he's much better off at Manchester United.
"For better or for worse, we had no relationship, there was no dialogue," Mata told El Pais when the Spanish newspaper asked him about Mourinho.
"I was not happy, but always gave the most and respected my colleagues. You never know what will happen in life."
Mata was quick to suck up to his new boss, saying of van Gaal:
"He has so much experience and I can learn a lot from him. He's tough when he has to be," he added.
"He says things in a firm way, intensely, but then he's somebody who is very close with the players. He really likes to talk with us, to ask us what we think about the exercises that we do in training."

Post-match analysis of the Rebekah Vardy/Coleen Rooney beef


I find that the first time I do something, I do it haphazardly and I tend to cut corners (without knowing I'm cutting corners). By the time I get a second chance at it, I've learned a lot of lessons and can do it that much better. Well, I'm really happy with how my second install of Ubuntu Linux has been going, and that's saying a lot because I was pretty happy the first time around too.
Things are much smoother, and I actually know what's going on when I update packages and install things. I can see how Linux works now, and it's pretty exciting. I guess this is why real Linux nerds are so outspoken and adamant.
All that being said, Linux isn't for everyone. I'm lucky to have a few friends who can guide me through the really complicated bits (of which there are a few), and online documentation is user-generated, so it's rarely well-written, simple or concise. The whole thing is an exercise in patience, but it's free and there are no ethical, legal or moral implications with not spending money for software. That's become a key point for me.
I believe I've found the perfect tools to manage my music and my iPod (Amarok), photo manipulation (GIMP), FTP, Web design and Torrent management. Next up? Remote access and finance management software. At some point I might install some third party file management software to tag and organize my photos and writing, but that sounds like a lot of work up front.
In summary, despite having an upgrade to the operating system go sour on me, I'm still pretty sold on the whole Linux experience. When I finally get around to buying a new computer (hopefully a laptop with lots of hard drive space), I'll probably install Ubuntu as well as Windows Vista and see which one I find less frustrating.
Don't worry, I'll tell you all about it.

Nat Adderley war in früher Jugend Jazzsänger, lernte mit 15 Jahren Trompete und wechselte dann zum Kornett. Ähnlich wie sein Bruder Cannonball Adderley spielte er während seiner Militärzeit in Armeebands und bekam dann 1954/55 ein Engagement in der Band von Lionel Hampton, dann bei Stan Kenton. Im Jahr 1955 erschien ein erstes Album unter eigenem Namen. Nach kurzer Mitwirkung im Quintett seines Bruders (1956), das aus finanziellen Gründen scheiterte, arbeitete Nat Adderley nach dem Wechsel von Cannonball zu Miles Davis mit J. J. Johnson und 1959 bei Woody Herman und George Shearing, um dann in das wieder gegründete Cannonball Adderley Quintet einzusteigen. Diesem gehörte er bis zum Tode seines Bruders im Jahre 1975 an.

Neben dieser Tätigkeit hat Nat Adderley immer wieder Alben mit eigenen Bands aufgenommen, wie mit Studio-Big Bands oder Musikern wie Joe Henderson, King Curtis, Jerome Richardson, Junior Mance und Wes Montgomery (Work Song, 1960). Zu seinen besten Alben gehört das 1963 mit Mance und Henderson sowie Jim Hall und Kenny Burrell eingespielte Album Little Big Horn!.

Im Jahr 1961 wirkte er an dem Album Carmen McRae Sings Lover Man and Other Billie Holiday Classics mit. Nach einer kurzen Lehrtätigkeit und Tourneen als Gastsolist von Peter Herbolzheimers Big Band gründete Nat 1976, ein Jahr nach Cannonballs Tod, eine neue Formation mit dem Saxophonisten John Stubblefield, dem Pianisten Onaje Allan Gumbs, dem Bassisten Fernando Gumbs und dem Schlagzeuger Buddy Williams zusammen. Seine Alben aus dieser Zeit fielen bei der Kritik eher durch; zu einem großen Erfolg wurde jedoch sein Konzert 1977 in Yokohama mit Jay Jay Johnson.

1980 trat er auf europäischen Festivals mit der Adderley Brotherhood auf, die an die große Zeit des Quintetts mit seinem Bruder erinnern sollte. 1981 trat er beim Kool Festival auf, arbeitete 1982 in New York und 1984 wieder mit Jay Jay Johnson. In den 1990er Jahren spielte u. a Sonny Fortune in seiner Band (Work Song – live at Sweet Basil, 1990). Seinen letzten großen Auftritt vor seinem Tod hatte er 1994 auf dem Floating Festival mit seiner Band aus Vincent Herring, Walter Booker und Jimmy Cobb.

Sein Ton auf dem Kornett erinnert an Clark Terry. In Erinnerung bleibt Nat Adderley für seine Kompositionen Work Song, Jive Samba und One for Daddy-O.

Sein Sohn ist der Arrangeur und Pianist Nat Adderley junior (* 1955).

← First Overnight Train to Kazan–RTW #4
Heading East! RTW Blog #6 →
I'm not in Kansas anymore!….I'm in Asia!
Posted on September 24, 2019 by rongatesphotography
I left Russian Europe on Friday night. I boarded the train at 11pm in Perm, Russia and sometime between then and 4 am when I got off in Yekaterinburg we crossed into Asia.
My last stop in Europe was Perm. A city of about 1.2 million. It is believed that Perm was the town that Boris Pasternak sent his Dr. Zhivago to and was also the inspiration that Chekhov used for the town his Three Sisters were so desperate to leave.
About an hour and a half east is Perm 36 a former gulag that is now a museum. Officially known as the Memorial Complex of Political Repressions. It is run by the international human rights organization, Memorial, founded by dissident Andrei Sakharov.
The picture above shows the five levels of security between the prisoners and the outside world. The second fence is electrified. It wasn't enough to kill a prisoner but it certainly gave them a jolt.
I had arranged a tour with an agency to pick me up at the train station and take me to the prison and return me to the train station. My guide, Alexander, spoke excellent English.
Alexander explained that the term, gulag, was often misunderstood to mean torture camp where the real definition of gulag was what the Russians referred to all of their prison labor camps. Gulags began about 1918 under Lenin. Perm 36 was in existence from 1946 to 1988. It has been turned into a museum because it is the only one where many of the building are still standing.
In the years from 1946-1952, it was primarily a prison for common criminals. From 1952-1972, it had those prisoners plus a roundup of generals, judges, and public officials. Beginning in 1972 until it closed, more "dissidents". Writers, artists, political activities, nationalists, etc. were sent here. Most prisoners worked. Gulags were labor camps and high daily quotas were set. If you didn't make your quota, you would be put into isolation for days or weeks and you food rations would be reduced. As Alexander explained it, prisoners in the early days worked in the logging industry cutting trees and making lumber.
Beginning in the 40's, when Russia was becoming involved in World War II and the country was switching from an agriculture country to a more industrial one, prisoners built factories, power plants, etc. These prisons were not like German concentration camps where people were herded into showers and killed. One source says that 90% of those who died in Perm 36, an others like it, was from exhaustion and malnutrition or if caught trying to escape. If you didn't make your impossible quote every day you'd get put into a punishment cell and your daily food ration would be cut.
Prisoners were allowed to write two letters a month to relatives and receive one. Some were allowed visitors that could stay for several days in some instances, according to Alexander. There was a library and movies. I would suspect that after working long, hard days there wasn't a lot of time left for reading and movies.
From Perm to Yekaterinburg.
Yekaterinburg is famous for at least three things. It is were Tsar Nicholas II and his family was murdered by Bolshevik soldiers and some Hungarian prisoners in the basement of a rich local industrialist in 1918 after 78 days of cruelty by their guards. The family, the Romanovs, consisted of Nicholas, his wife, four daughters and a son. They were brutally killed and their bodies dismembered, burned and the remains dumped into a nearby mine shaft.
In 1976, Russian president Boris Yeltsin ordered the house where they were murdered demolished and the Church of the Blood was built at that location. Pictures aren't allowed in the main area but are allowed in the basement museum.
The piece on the right represents the Romanov's, Nicholas, his wife and five children. The Romanov's were canonized in sainthood in 2000. There are numerous tributes to the royal family in the main worship area and in the museum.
In 1991, their remains were discovered and through DNA testing was determined to be those of the royal family. Blood samples from the remains were tested in the UK from samples provided by Prince Phillip, Queen Elizabeth's husband. The Tsarina Alexandra's sister was Phillip's maternal grandmother.
The second famous thing about Yekaterinburg is that this is the site were US pilot Francis Gary Powers was captured after being shot down in his U2 spy plane in 1960. It was an embarrassment for the US as we first claimed it was a weather flight and that he'd inadvertently flown over Russia. He survived the crash and confessed what he was doing. He was later traded for a Russian spy by the US in 1962.
I visited the Russian military museum here because the guide book said there was a display here regarding the U2 incident but, if there was, I didn't see it. Otherwise I had a private, English speaking guide, that told me about all of their military history and their "liberation" of Czechoslovakia and other military conquests. I did find it interesting to see the young inventor/soldier who designed the famous Kalashnikov AK47 and AK74 weapon then and later in life.
Lt. General Mikhail Kalashnikov died outside Moscow in 2013 at age 94. His rifles are now licensed to be built in 30 countries including the United States.
The third thing that Yekaterinburg is famous for is the birthplace of former Russian president, Boris Yeltsin.
From Yekaterinburg it was an overnight train ride to Tobolsk, a town of about 100,000. The Kremlin here sits on a large hill in town and contains several cathedrals and a prison of all things.
I'm moving on to Tomsk a university city know for its wooden architecture with "lace" trim on the houses.
