Outer Banks Cajons
by north beach sun · November 29, 2013
By Kip Tabb –
Bill Schreiner and Chris Whitehurst with a stack of cajons.
First there's the sound, a resonant, rich tone speaking of primitive forests and endless plains. There's a little bit of the rustle of a snare, giving it a slightly Caribbean or South American feel.
And then there is the sight of a Cajon—really just a big box with the drummer sitting on it, hands dancing across the face beating out complex and extraordinary rhythms.
Except it's not really just a big box; it is a musical instrument, a wonderful part of the percussion family that allows a drummer to pick up and carry his music anywhere.
Local musician and sound board guru, Chris Whitehurst first saw a cajon on Ocracoke about three years ago. "It was just such a neat idea . . . a drum kit in a box," he recalls.
Business partner and part-time Outer Banks resident Bill Schreiner remembers the first time he saw a cajon. "My nephew's band was playing at Elon and he knew I was a percussionist so he asked me to sit in," he says. " He had a cajon there."
It was love at first strike.
It looks like a nice piece of wooden furniture—a simple box with a sound hole. But it is much more than that. As they started to develop the idea of building a cajon, Chris and Bill began buying drums. "They were terrible," Bill says. "It didn't matter how much I spent."
"Even the most expensive ones were using really cheap materials," Chris adds.
This past spring, Chris and Bill formed Kitty Hawk Percussion, putting in two months of research before the made their first drum–where to place the snares inside the box, what would be the best placement for the sound hole, what kind of wood would give the fullest sound.
Although it looks like a simple box, there is a lot that goes into it. The sides and top are made from the thickest plywood, the back a little bit thinner and the face is the thinnest plywood available, allowing it to vibrate as a drumhead. A series of screws holds the "drumhead" in place, but by varying the tension on the screw, the tone of the instrument can be subtlety varied.

Whitehurst and Schreiner are bringing out a second model—a down firing cajon, with the sound hole on the bottom. The first prototype had just been completed at the time of our interview and the difference in sound between the standard cajon and the deep tone cajon, as they are calling it, is clear.
As the drummer leans back on the instrument, the sound is projected to the floor and then out. It is a fuller sound, with more bass resonance than the standard model, and by leaning the drum backward or forward, the musician can vary the tone and volume of the drum.
"We did a lot of research," Bill says. "Or Chris did a lot of research, building drums to get the right sound."
"We use Norwegian spruce," Chris says. "It's standard for high-end cabinetry."
The result of their research are cajons that may be setting the standard for what the instrument can do.
Local musician Matt Calhoun of Watson and Calhoun is a percussionist, and he has fallen in love with the Kitty Hawk Percussion cajon. "I'm a hand percussionist," he says. "I feel like it (the cajon) gives me the sound I want in a hand drum."
According to Calhoun there is a difference in the drums he has tried. "I've played other cajons and these are really a superior instrument," he says. "It's an instrument made by musicians, and it's really obvious."
Locally the Kitty Hawk Percussion cajon can be purchased at Kitty Hawk Kites or Corolla Surf Shop or ordered online at kittyhawkpercussion.com.

This fall has led to a lot of style confusion: The weather has been unseasonably swampy one minute and colder than a Rihanna meme the next. We've had our favorite sweaters waiting in the wings for weeks, but this new Wellthread Sherpa Trucker jacket from Levi's and Outerknown might be the best jacket for these uncertain climes.
We like it because it's got the classic Levi's denim jacket shape, but with the added warmth of the fuzzy interior, so you don't have to fully commit to a bulky winter coat. You can wear it with your dark denim, or even layer it on top of a sweater or hoodie with slim-fit chinos or cords.
The added bonus: It's also responsibly made. The Levi's Wellthread program produces sustainable pieces that waste less water in the production process and are made with recycled buttons, labels and snaps. Outerknown, a simple and understated men's line, was co-founded by surfing champ Kelly Slater and designer John Moore. The goals of sustainability and social responsibility are the founding tenets of the brand.
The Sherpa jacket is one of the four pieces included in the new Levi's Wellthread X Outerknown collection that launched today and includes the familiar Levi's 511 jeans and Trucker jacket. It's the ideal union of style and social consciousness. Prices are in the $128-$185 range, and you can track down the collection at outerknown.com.

Dom Flemons' 'Prospect Hill' will be reissued as a two-disc collection featuring an album's worth of unreleased bonus tracks.
Timothy Duffy*
Since co-founding the Carolina Chocolate Drops in 2005, Dom Flemons has conducting a scholarly exploration of American roots music's many nooks and crannies, earning himself the nickname "the American Songster." In 2014, he doubled down on that reputation with his seminal album Prospect Hill. Now that LP is being repackaged and reissued in a deluxe edition called Prospect Hill: The American Songster Omnibus, due out February 28th via Omnivore Recordings.
The new package spans two discs and includes the original 14 tracks of Prospect Hill on one disc, and then a second disc of rare and unreleased material. Flemons' nine-track 2015 Record Store Day EP What Got Over occupies the first half of Disc 2, and a selection of previously unreleased cuts called The Drum Major Instinct focusing on rhythm and beats fills out the rest. Along with the announcement, Flemons re-released the song "Too Long (I've Been Gone)," a gentle acoustic lament from the perspective of a road-weary musician.
"For more than a decade, I've traveled nearly 100,000 miles every year serving as a tradition bearer to American roots music," says Flemons. "This journey has taken me everywhere from Australia, Malaysia, Europe, the U.K. and almost every state in America. This song is a reminder of the mantra 'when the world seems so far away, I've got nothing left except my mind.'"

Another Reason Not To Buy Uggs: Foot Fungus?
Just in case you needed another reason not to purchase Uggs there's this: they increase your risk of foot fungus. At least that's what one podiatrist is claiming. Dr. Olivier Zong, DPM, the director of surgery at NYC Footcare, says that "fungus breeds in dark, wet environments--conditions that are usually seen inside trendy sheepskin boots." Whats more, Dr. Zong says that once the fungus gets into your toe nails it's hard to get rid of. Fun! Luckily for Ugg-fans the world over, not all podiatrists are in agreement about whether Uggs put their wearers at increased risk for foot fungus.

Just in case you needed another reason not to purchase Uggs there's this: they increase your risk of foot fungus.
At least that's what one podiatrist is claiming. Dr. Olivier Zong, DPM, the director of surgery at NYC Footcare, says that "fungus breeds in dark, wet environments--conditions that are usually seen inside trendy sheepskin boots." Whats more, Dr. Zong says that once the fungus gets into your toe nails it's hard to get rid of. Fun!
Luckily for Ugg-fans the world over, not all podiatrists are in agreement about whether Uggs put their wearers at increased risk for foot fungus. "Foot fungus likes a dark moist environment--so any sock and shoe could provide that, especially during the winter," says Dr. Howard Shapiro, a DPM with Manhattan Podiatry. "Uggs have a wool lining so if anything I would think that if anything they would absorb the sweat [that leads to foot fungus]." Shapiro also notes that he's never seen an Ugg-related case of foot fungus. "Foot fungus affects about 40% of the population," says Shapiro, "prior to Uggs it was still affecting 40% of the population."
Phew. Still gross, but phew. Franca Sozzani, Giovanna Battaglia, Sarah Jessica Parker and other assorted famous Ugg-wearers can rest a little easier.
Though, Dr. Zong may have a point. Feet can gets mighty hot and sweaty in those things, and if you're worried about contracting an Ugg-y fungus here are some tips from the doc on preventing it: - Keep your feet dry and clean. Apply a topical anti-fungal medication on any cracking or peeling areas of the skin. - Wear socks that are made of an acrylic fiber, not cotton (acrylic wicks moisture away from the feet), and change your socks at least once a day. - Cover your feet with antiperspirant. The active ingredient, aluminum hydroxide, keeps your feet from sweating. - Don't wear the same shoes every day. Shoes need about 24 hours to completely dry out from the last time they were worn.
Now you've been warned. Slip into Uggs at your own risk.

Considering A Tattoo? They're Not As Easy To Remove As You Think
While tattoos have historically had a place in rebellion, lately they've become fashionable for everyone from celebs to models to brides. From Thierry Mugler's recent menswear show to Gisele's famous star to Rihanna's ever-growing collection of ink to Eva Longoria's wedding tattoo (oops) it seems like everyone's getting inked with abandon. And it's a lot more socially acceptable, despite what you may think about the aesthetics. But what happens when you decide that a) "it's tacky" or b) "I hate that bastard" and want to get rid of it? Well, you're in for some pain, a time commitment, a financial commitment, and absolutely no guarantee that it will be gone. I spoke to Dr. Heidi Waldorf, the Director of Laser and Cosmetic Dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in NYC, about the process of tattoo removal. You often hear people say flippantly, "Well, I can always get it removed." How feasible is it---really? "There is no magical eraser for tattooing," she told me. Her take-away points?

Colon Street is the central nerve of Cebu City and is also the oldest national road in the Philippines.

There it was my beautiful yard sale find was now sitting in the garage, with anything and everything piled on top of it.
I decided it was too big and bulky where I had it, needed a new paint job and I didn't need it anymore.
I was in a minimalist mood.
Oh, be careful if you are in a minimalist mood. Spending money on furniture usually isn't cheap and requires a good hunt if you want to get something used.
So before you go tossing everything out or pawning it off to your siblings, save it.
Today as I hauled this buffet table back into the house, being careful not to put any weight on the leg that is busted I couldn't believe I was ready to toss it a few months ago.
It added more depth into the dining room again and gave the room a change I needed and didn't cost a dime.
If you are feeling like you need a makeover in one of the rooms in your house, rearrange your furniture. I know easier said than done just like spend less money than you make right?
Try it. Check out my tips to inspire you today.
See if you can move your main focus in your living room. For example your TV.
I switched the TV from being straight against a wall to a slight curve in the corner. This allowed me to move the other couch down a little bit.
I took the bench out of the living room and put it in the dining room.
Taking one piece of furniture out of a room and into another can give you enough of a change that you are looking for without costing you a penny.
As a parent, one of the pieces of advice I heard and am always amazed at how well it works is, hide half your kid's toys and bring them out later on and hide the other half.
As adults, we need to do the same thing with our furniture. We don't necessarily need to go out and get a new chair or couch, we just need to shift each piece.
You can even try changing your dining room table to an angle and see how much of a different feel it adds.
So if you are feeling the winter blues and wanting to give your home a fresh feel.
Try swapping your furniture pieces into different areas of your home.
This concept of using what you have before you go out and buy new is exactly the same mindshift when I share about shopping from your pantry FIRST before going grocery shopping.
Here are some examples of how I switched up the living and dining room along with our porch/mudroom.
I brought in two new pieces of furniture- that I already owned. The buffet table was in the garage all summer and feels fresh again. I have been considering a new table and chair set, but hate the price.
Of course, right now we are still in the midst of finishing the kitchen. We are just now putting in the flooring and the same flooring from the kitchen will carry through the dining room and living room.
We got our current table used at Habit for Humanity for $200 with all six chairs. The chairs are pretty beat now, but I have been thinking about reholstering the cushion part.
Adding a tablecloth in the winter months for me gives my table a different feel. Adding a table cloth anytime of the year can freshen up your home. I have a table cloth for each season. You can add a table runner or even add a couple table runners horizontal to give it a different feel.
I find great prices on tablecloths and runners at Big Lots.
If you are really needing more counter space, it's probably so you can move stuff from one table to the next right?! This is a common scenario in our house, "Kids set the table." Everything from the table comes off and goes to the next closest table.
The buffet table I would love to be white but it also goes with the dining room table. For Christmas when I need the extra space to set up the Nativity scene or any more little Christmas trinkets I can on this table now.
I liked bringing the bench into the dining room for an easier way to add quick seating for guest at the table. It is the perfect height and since two of our chairs bottoms are completely gone we have enough seating when we use the bench. This bench was in our living room.
I got a deal on this bench at BJ's Wholesale club. If you haven't heard it's my favorite place to shop. Target is a close second. You can see why I love it so much here. I paid under $60 for the bench!
It has sliding doors and the two shelves you see. Wholesale clubs are a great place to pick up affordable furniture.
The table that was on this wall is now in the living room and you can see from the pictures it gives it a different feel. Soon this floor will be replaced and will give the whole house a warm and cozy feeling. The table above my husband made out of pallets!
Now the table is filled in the living room. Having a piece with this raw pallet wood allows me to move it anywhere in our home and it will still match.
The porch/mudroom which should really be called the dog's room changes with the weather. In the summertime, I put the coat rack near the back corner where the fern is. The fern I just purchased this summer with my awesome Tractor Supply Planters here.
In the winter I want us to actually use the coat rack instead of throwing everything on the hot tub, so I put it in the corner closest to the door and moved Jake's recliner over by Daisy's crate.
The bunny is still up in the air where she will officially stay, but for now, she's enjoying bunking with Daisy.
Just switching the pieces around in this room gives you a fresh feel each time you enter.
Any simple swap of furniture in your home can give you the instant gratification of seeing new furniture.
Let me know what you are going to switch around in your home in the comments below.

UNP blames Sajith for election loss; Ranil not taking National List seat
Following the United National Party's unprecedented defeat at the 2020 parliamentary election, the senior leaders of the 'grand old party' convened a meeting at headquarters – Sirikotha on Friday evening (07) to discuss the election result and future course of action.
Speaking to reporters following the meeting, UNP National Organiser Daya Gamage stated that the party decided to carry out reforms and move forward.
Asked about the election result, the former minister said he believes that the people decided that the government should be from the President's party and also that former deputy leader Sajith Premadasa destroyed the UNP and destroyed himself.
Former minister Vajira Abeywardena, responding to questions regarding Ravi Karunanayake, said that there is no need to point fingers at any person over the defeat.
When asked about the SLPP forming a government with two-thirds majority, he said that the main group responsible for that is the Sajith Premadasa faction.
He also claimed that Premadasa ruined himself and the UNP along with his political campaign. Abeywardena stated that they gave their full backing to Premadasa at the last presidential election, but he failed to win and now the 5.5 million votes have dropped to 2.6 million.
The UNP failed to win a single seat at the 2020 general election despite polling 249,435 votes (2.15%), however the party did win one National List seat.
UNP Organiser for Divulapitiya Dr. Kithsiri Manchanayake stated that a decision would be taken regarding the National List seat come Monday, along with a host of other important decisions such as the future of the party and leadership.
Responding to a question, he said that UNP leader Ranil Wickremesinghe will not enter parliament from the National List seat as he is not a person who will enter parliament after being defeated.
Meanwhile former UNP MP and 'Samagi Jana Balawegaya' member Nalin Bandara told reporters that the UNP leadership is still not willing to accept that the UNP has been destroyed today and kindly urged Wickremesinghe and his group to handover leadership of the party to the group backed by the people and supporters.
"At least now please understand that the leader in the hearts of the UNP supporters is Sajith Premadasa and handover the party to him. Because as true UNPers, we cannot stand this present situation," he said.

Ranjith says:
Don't blame Modadasa. Blame that senile, donkey bollocks pig Ranil. About time to bring the Bank of Ceylon scam up and put this basted in prison with hard labour. I will be very disappointed if Gota let this basted get away with this.

Ivy Sheppard to Stained Glass Bluegrass
Posted on June 29, 2018 by Richard Thompson
At the beginning of this month (June 2018) Ivy Sheppard took over the microphone as the host of the Bluegrass Country Foundation's flagship program Stained Glass Bluegrass, the Sunday morning bluegrass Gospel show that's been on the air for more than 40 years.
While there hasn't been any official statement, her name has been added to the program's webpage.
Ivy Sheppard had this to say as she was about to takeover …….
"A couple months ago Gary Henderson notified Bluegrass Country that he'd be retiring and they asked me if I'd like to take over Stained Glass Bluegrass and Mighty Mossy Monday. I've long been a fan of Gary's shows, so I was happy to accept the offer. I think we have a similar sensibility about the music. Those are both long standing shows on the station with loyal followings and I hope I can keep a similar feel while making them my own."
Sheppard's radio career began by accident when a friend invited her to be on his old-time music show on WPAQ, the legendary AM station in Mount Airy, North Carolina. She went back the following week. Then, in the third week he telephoned to say that he would not be there and he asked, 'could she do the show by herself?' He never returned and from there on Sheppard never looked back. Bringing the music that she loves to her radio audience has become an obsession for her, fuelled by a relentless search for rare records and field recordings.
She also hosts Born in the Mountain on Bluegrass Country, sharing a broad and eclectic mix of bluegrass, old time, and Gospel music with her listeners.
Sheppard is a talented musician in her own right, playing two-finger and clawhammer banjo, and fiddle with the Roan Mountain Hilltoppers and, currently, with The South Carolina Broadcasters.
Stained Glass Bluegrass – incidentally named by Craig Oliver, who was a news producer/host at WAMU at the time – was started in June 1974 by previous incumbent Gary Henderson and has been on air at WAMU FM and, starting January 1, 2017, utilising services provided by the Bluegrass Country Foundation, in constant production for nearly 44 years.
Stained Glass Bluegrass can be heard each Sunday morning from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. EDT, and it is repeated on Wednesday evenings starting at 7:00 p.m. EDT.
Bluegrass Country is listener-supported radio, playing bluegrass, old-time and Americana music 24/7. Its programs can be heard on 88.5 FM HD Channel 2 in the Washington, D.C. area, while streaming worldwide on their website and through free smartphone apps.
Richard F. Thompson is a long-standing free-lance writer specialising in bluegrass music topics. A two-time Editor of British Bluegrass News, he has been seriously interested in bluegrass music since about 1970. As well as contributing to that magazine, he has, in the past 30 plus years, had articles published by Country Music World, International Country Music News, Country Music People, Bluegrass Unlimited, MoonShiner (the Japanese bluegrass music journal) and Bluegrass Europe. He wrote the annotated series I'm On My Way Back To Old Kentucky, a daily memorial to Bill Monroe that culminated with an acknowledgement of what would have been his 100th birthday, on September 13, 2011.

Q: Replace values based on length Im working on a text dataframe
v1     v2      v3       v4
A      fox     and      2
birds  are     running  very
fast   during  the      dark
night

I need to replace all fields which contain less than 4 characters with a blank field
So my output would be
v1     v2      v3       v4

birds          running  very
fast   during           dark
night

A: Does this work:
library(dplyr)
df %>% mutate(across(everything(), ~ case_when(nchar(.) < 4 ~ '', TRUE ~ .)))
# A tibble: 4 x 4
  v1      v2       v3        v4
  <chr>   <chr>    <chr>     <chr>
1 ""      ""       ""        ""
2 "birds" ""       "running" "very"
3 "fast"  "during" ""        "dark"
4 "night"  NA       NA        NA

Data used:
df
# A tibble: 4 x 4
  v1    v2     v3      v4
  <chr> <chr>  <chr>   <chr>
1 A     fox    and     2
2 birds are    running very
3 fast  during the     dark
4 night NA     NA      NA

A: Using sapply you can count number of characters for all the columns and replace them with blank if they are less than 4.
df[sapply(df, nchar) < 4] <- ''

df
#     v1     v2      v3   v4
#1
#2 birds        running very
#3  fast during         dark
#4 night

data
df <- structure(list(v1 = c("A", "birds", "fast", "night"), v2 = c("fox",
"are", "during", ""), v3 = c("and", "running", "the", ""), v4 = c("2",
"very", "dark", "")), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -4L))

Das Logo von dr.knusper, der neuen Marke für vernünftige Genießer.
Our dr.knusper team aims combing naturalness and functional food. Unlike usual protein products we refrain from unsing artificial flavours at all. Instead you'll get real taste from real chocolate and pure hazelnut-pulp.
Dr.knusper protein snacks are backed in our own waffle backery in Berlin according to highest quality standards. That's why we stick to IFS Version 6.
Moreover we carfully choose ingredients. Therefore we strictly handle milk protein from excusive choosen experienced german supplyers (Made in Germany).
The tasty confluence of milk protein and waffel with whole-grain flour for more enduring power!
We are conscoiusly using palm oil, because we have the considered opinion of palm oil having nutritionally advantages compared to potential alternatives. Whereas we was just trying to minimize its utilization in our reciepts, beacause we want to reduce the ecological effects of its worldwide increasing consumption.
Milk protein is suitable for the demand of even the most ambitious sportsmen and woman, because milk protein contains WHEY protein as well as casein. Moreover our protein snacks contain the low in allergens collagen hydrolysate as structural protein in the extracellular space.
We use exclusively high-quality resources produced by established and certified manufacturers. All of our products are fabricated completly in Germany under Intenational Food Standard (IFS) Version 6.
Im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen gefüllten Waffeln sind dr.knusper Protein Snacks deutlich zuckerreduziert und haben weniger Fett. Damit kannst du dr.knusper ohne Reue als kleinen Knusperspaß auch mal zwischendurch genießen!
Auch Mona N. liebt dr.knusper wegen seiner Ausgewogenheit der Nährwerte. Sie hat den Snack sogar auf Ihrer Alpenüberquerung dabei gehabt.
Just delicious and not too sweet. Best companion on my crossing of the Alps. A perfex nutrition mix with way more protein.
Den Kunde Sebastian N. erinnert der protein Snack etwas an Filinchen. Möglicherweise durch die Ähnlichkeit des Waffelblattes. Geschmacklich ist auch er überzeugt.
This small waffle is great… Really crunchy and its taste is extraordinary and rich.
Die Kundin Hugine W. beschreibt dr.knusper protein SNACK als ihre Lieblingswaffel. "Ess ich am liebsten!"
I like them best !

FOOTBALL: Bingera admit they still need to play better despite starting the season with a 4-1 win over the KSS Jets in the Wide Bay League.
Starting its season away from home, the side scored three second half goals to secure the win.
Missing chances early the side were deadlocked at 1-1 at half time after conceding what they called a poor goal to the Jets.
Bingera coach Brett Kitching said that ruined what was a good win.
"The first half was terrible, we had one on one chances but couldn't take them," he said.
Despite that Kitching said he was pleased with how the team responded after half time. "We were much brighter," he said.
The side will now face Brothers Aston Villa next with Kitching conceding that match would be their first real test for the year.
For the KSS Jets they said the Stripeys were too good on the counter-attack on the night.
"We should've been slowing (the ball) down and trying to nail things," Jets coach Phil Rimmer said.
Rimmer said the side also needs to do better at set pieces after conceding two goals from them.
The side will face The Waves in two weeks.

Microsoft sued for "faulty" Windows 10 updates
Microsoft / Tech
By Justin Jelinek
Three plaintiffs cite several different ways in which the Windows 10 update went sour for them.
We're nearly two years into the life cycle of Microsoft's latest operating system. Windows 10 arrived as a free upgrade for most Windows users for the first year, and most Windows users that upgraded had no problem with the update. We've said plenty of times on plenty of reviews that Windows 10 is a solid operating system, but not everybody seems to be quite so happy. An angry group in Illinois is seeking class action status on their lawsuit, claiming that the Windows 10 updates damaged their computers, installed without the user's permission, or both.
Three plaintiffs cite several different ways in which the Windows 10 update went sour for them. All of which note that the upgrade — whether they agreed to it or not — caused damage to their hardware and/or a loss of data. One claimed that the update installed on its own and that the damage to her machine was bad enough that she had to buy a new computer. The other two agreed to the install but said that the update damaged their hard drives, lost data, and incurred costs to repair.
The suit claims that the update should have checked "whether or not the hard drive can withstand the stress of the Windows 10 installation" and that the "Windows 10 upgrader does not bother to check for hardware or software compatibility prior to installation."
The suit claims that there are hundreds of thousands of users that have suffered at the hands of the Windows 10 update, though they also have opened the class action to users that installed the upgrade on a machine with Windows 7 "or earlier operating systems." They may want to re-think that considering the update wasn't made available for any OS prior to Windows 7.
Microsoft's response to the allegations? They don't seem particularly worried:
If a customer who upgraded during the one-year program needed help with the upgrade experience, we had numerous options including free customer support and 31 days to roll back to their old operating system. We believe the plaintiffs' claims are without merit.
What do you think about this lawsuit? Was your computer damaged by the Windows 10 update? Let us know in the comments below or on Google+, Twitter, or Facebook.

Parenting An Extrovert In An Introvert-Centric World Mark Oppenheimer is a father of five. He recently wrote a piece for The Washington Post about how to raise an extrovert. He and his extroverted daughter Anna speak with NPR's Michel Martin.
Mark Oppenheimer is a father of five. He recently wrote a piece for The Washington Post about how to raise an extrovert. He and his extroverted daughter Anna speak with NPR's Michel Martin.
I think it's fair to say that we are in a loud moment. Our politicians are loud. Our music is loud. Our movie blockbusters are loud. Still, introverts are having a moment. Books have been written and TED Talks have been given about the virtues of quiet, sensitive people. So the question is, has that newfound appreciation left the extroverts out in the cold? Mark Oppenheimer thinks so. He's a father of five, and he recently wrote a piece for The Washington Post about his 5-year-old daughter Anna titled, "How To Raise An Extroverted Child In A World That Loves Introverts." In it, he describes his concerns about an exuberance that knows few boundaries in a world that lets say doesn't always appreciate that.
Well, it's been kind of sad around here with the government shutdown. And, also, I thought this would be a good time to call up Mark and Anna and hear more about extroverts. And they are with us now from their home in New Haven, Conn. Mark, Anna, welcome. Thank you both so much for talking to us.
MARTIN: Anna, can I start with you since you are the star of the piece?
MARTIN: Tell me about yourself. What do you like to do?
ANNA: I like to read Harry Potter so I can become a genius.
MARTIN: Oh, yeah. That's good, yeah. Anything else? I hear you like parties.
ANNA: Well, I like to do magic so I can go to Hogwarts when I'm 11.
MARTIN: Oh, OK. That sounds good. OK. Well, Mark Oppenheimer, thank you for letting us talk to Anna and visit her and brighten up our day.
OPPENHEIMER: She would have it no other way. She doesn't say no to invitations.
MARTIN: When did you notice that your daughter is very outgoing? You mentioned that some of the other kids in the family, your wife, not so much.
OPPENHEIMER: Right. So she's the fourth of our five children. And, you know, these categories are, obviously, kind of invented, right? No one human is everything. But our third daughter, who's now 8, is definitely a lot like my wife, which is to say she doesn't like big parties and doesn't like big crowds and gets easily overwhelmed. And Anna, who came three years after her, was exactly the opposite from a very young age. She just would always rush to crowds, greets people with hugs, loves parties. And it was obvious from the moment she had a personality that this was the personality she had.
MARTIN: Well, give an example if you would.
OPPENHEIMER: Oh, sure. For one thing, there's - she doesn't like to leave the classroom until she's hugged a certain number of people in her kindergarten class (laughter). That's pretty typical of her. There was not long ago a party that she was invited to, and we were going to suggest that she skip the party because the child was someone whom she wasn't terribly fond of. They didn't have a great connection. And she said, but I want to go to the party. And we said, well, you don't even like so-and-so that much. And she said, well, that's true, but I love parties.
OPPENHEIMER: So that's - her attitude on life is that it doesn't really matter whose party it is. It's a party.
MARTIN: She's very self-aware. It seems like that. Anna, you like people a lot, right?
MARTIN: Yeah. How come do you think that? Why do you think you like people so much?
ANNA: Because, well, I only like certain people. I only like people that are nice to me.
MARTIN: ...Because your dad was telling a story once about how you walked up to people. And you try to say hi to them, and they don't say hi back.
ANNA: Well, I probably would tap them on the shoulder. If they just didn't like that and still didn't answer, I'd probably just walk away and ask my dad if they would help me get them. And if that person still didn't like it, I just, well, go away because they probably didn't want to be bothered.
MARTIN: (Laughter) Why do you think it is that some people don't want to be friends? Or what do you think that is? Are some people shy, and you're just not shy? What do you think that is?
ANNA: Not shy person, I would probably say. But I would not say that I just ran into crowds giving people hugs. I would not say that. I would probably say - I would probably go to crowds, yeah. Maybe that's true. I'd probably wouldn't say that I hug people a lot.
ANNA: And I'd probably say that I just talk to people a lot.
MARTIN: Exactly. Mark, your piece is very funny, and I understood what you're saying about how, you know, we're in a moment where there's sort of a something in this argument that there's something better about introverts but you have, also, a deeper point about the message you think society is sending to girls who are extroverts. Could you talk a little bit about that?
OPPENHEIMER: Yeah. I mean it's very hard to read some of the pro-introvert literature (laughter) without getting the sense that what's being exalted is a certain kind of quiet and reserve and what is often referred to - especially with girls - as poise. And that seems like code for don't be too exuberant. Don't put yourself out there too much. Don't be too loud. Don't be too in your face.
And so the flip side of that is, what if you're a girl coming up in the world who likes being loud and exuberant and in people's faces? I think there's lots of wonderful ways people can be. But we're in a moment where you're reading a lot of books. I mean, the airport bookstores are filled with business guides saying, hire the person who is really quiet. And that has its own kind of prejudice that - you know, that I think does have a cost.
MARTIN: What have you come to about Anna? Like, what advice are you giving her about how to manage that?
OPPENHEIMER: Yeah, I want her to be her. And I think the world is going to, you know, have to deal, you know? I'll give you an example. About three summers ago, she walked up to an older woman on the playground and just introduced herself and said hi and started chatting. And the woman turned to me with this kind of spiteful look and said, you have to teach her not to talk to strangers. And I thought, well, I actually think it's great to talk to strangers.
I think we need to talk to people we don't know more. And we need to walk up to people more often and break down barriers and get to know them. And so I would, in a million years, not counsel her not to talk to strangers. I think people need to do more of that. I think she's kind of a role model for me.
MARTIN: Well, that's a very good thought there. So let's say - I want to say goodbye to Anna. Anna, do you have any thoughts for people who are maybe not as bold as you are about talking to people that they don't already know? Do you have any advice for people who are shy?
ANNA: Well, I think I already know a person that doesn't like talking to people as much as me. Megan (ph), right. That's her name, Megan.
OPPENHEIMER: And what's your advice for her? Like, would you be able to teach her how to talk to people better?
MARTIN: Well, that's a very good point (laughter).
ANNA: ...That she's shy. And I don't think she should change it.
MARTIN: Well, thank you. That's Mark Oppenheimer. And his daughter, Anna, joined us from their home in New Haven, Conn. Mark Oppenheimer wrote a piece called "How To Raise An Extroverted Child In A World That Loves Introverts." He wrote that for The Washington Post, and he also hosts a podcast on Jewish identity called Unorthodox. They joined us from New Haven. Mark Oppenheimer, Anna, thank you both so much for talking to us.


The use of high quality design can improve many aspects of your business, including your company's print or digital publications.
When used effectively, graphic design can work wonders for publication design, boosting key messages through visual communication and creating greater impact with your audience. At Thirst Creative our team of strategists, copywriters and designers work with you to develop corporate publication designs that effectively inform, educate and persuade your audience.
Here at Thirst Creative, we use a strategy-first approach to designing publications for our clients. Working closely with your team, we'll unpack the purpose of your publication, the outcomes you're looking to achieve, your audience, your desired format, the fonts you're looking to use and the overall style you're looking to adopt. Maybe your publication is an annual report or policy review and you are looking to engage and inform your stakeholders? Or perhaps you're developing a company profile for your business that will act as a comprehensive marketing tool and need it to appeal to both your employees and prospective customers.
Depending on the type of publication you are looking to design, our team of strategists and graphic designers will help you in considering the use of compelling photography, colourful animation, custom illustrations, informative infographics and digital interactivity to enhance your publication. Selecting the most appropriate mix of visual elements, our designers will then develop a creative concept and theme for your publication; one that will effectively convey your intended message to your target audience and help you achieve your desired outcomes.
Thirst Creative has worked with the Australian Cricketers Association (ACA) for a number of years providing design and brand solutions. They recently engaged our team to help deliver the ACA 2016/2017 Annual Report.
The ACA needed a report that would speak to their stakeholders, showcase their people, highlight their achievements and communicate their values. Our team worked to the brief, delivering both a digital and print based publication that captures the heart of Australian Cricket and showcases the wonderful talent of their players.


As one of the top Knoxville commercial photographers, I was excited to take home four awards for photographs that I entered into The 51st annual American Advertising Awards® Show and Gala at the Crowne Plaza in downtown Knoxville. It was an honor for my work to be recognized with so many other outstanding creatives. I want to give a special thank you to The Spining Group. The images I created, would not have been possible if Jackie hadn't given me the opportunity to do so. Below are my photos that took home honors during this year's awards competition.
Also our American Advertising Federation chapter Knoxville AAF needs a big shoutout for producing such a great event. Being my first ADDY Gala to attend, I have to say; I was extremely impressed the production of the event. This year's theme "The ADDYs Strike Back" played off of Star Wars. Along with the great decor, there were cosplayers dressed as Storm Troopers guarding the front door and many others roaming around the venue and posing for pictures. Of course, my wife and I had to grab a photo with Chewy.
The video that opened the presentation was incredible, but it didn't stop there. It continued as a live action fighting scene went through the middle aisle and up to the stage. Elastic Pictures, JAOPRO and Auralation Music did a fantastic job! Below is their video for you to see yourself.
I hope you have enjoyed this blog post about the Knoxville ADDY Awards 2016! To see a different variety of work I have created, follow either of the highlighted links commercial photography and editorial portraits.


One of the more popular white wines in the United States, Sauvignon Blanc stems from rather humble beginnings in the south of France. The green skinned grape that produces this dry, crisp white once grew like a weed all over the Bordeaux region, and it's believed that the French referred to it as sauvage, which means "wild." For many years, the wild grape was used as a component in Sauterne, a well known dessert wine, as well as other white wine blends that the French produced.
The Loire Valley bottled some of the earliest wines made exclusively from this grape, but they named it Sancerre, after the region of its origin, and it became very popular in Paris during the twentieth century. In the 1980's, New Zealand vintners shared their product with the world, and we've known this refreshing, very affordable white wine by its current name ever since. From those humble beginnings in France, the wild white grape has now found a home in many other countries, including the U.S., Italy, South Africa, and even Canada.
Because of its acidity, crisp character and "grassy" notes, Sauvignon Blanc is generally paired with cheeses, and saucy, seafood dishes such as shrimp Alfredo. It also nicely compliments a cheese fondue. It has also been said that Sauvignon Blanc is one of the few wines that pair well with sushi. This wine doesn't generally benefit from aging, so it isn't necessary to look for a specific vintage, and your personal tastes will dictate which country's product you favor. For example, a Sauvignon Blanc from Italy might be more full-bodied, with a stronger nose, while wines produced in warmer climates can sometimes develop more tropical notes and a softer finish.
When selecting a Sauvignon Blanc, whether you intend to pair it with good food or good company, let Cambridge Wines help you find what you're looking for.

Informazioni su Too Short
A hip-hop pioneer and living legend, Too Short (aka Todd Shaw) practically invented West Coast rap. He began his career slinging tapes out of his car in the early 1980s in Oakland, Calif. Merging pimp game philosophies, thick funk, and hardcore tales of freaky sexcapades, his music was made for players, macks, and gangsters -- of which Oaktown had no shortage. His following grew quickly: at one point he reportedly sold 15,000 tapes in a week. After cutting three records on a small label, Too Short released Born To Mack in 1986, which featured one of his biggest hits, "Freaky Tales," and expanded his already sizable fan base. His success continued throughout the '90s, and in 1996, after more than a dozen years in the game, he announced his retirement. Three years later, to the delight of his devoted following, he returned with Can't Stay Away. Too Short remains a hugely successful and influential figure in the industry, with frequent cameos on records by everyone from Biggie and Jay-Z to E-40 and Scarface. Very few artists approach his longevity; fewer have done so without compromising their style. After nearly twenty years and over ten albums (seven platinum), Too Short is still the Mack.

(de l'allemand, « Pierre l'Ébouriffé »), traduit par Crasse-Tignasse ou par Amusantes histoires et plaisantes images pour enfants de 3 à 6 ans du  Heinrich Hoffmann, est un livre allemand d'histoires courtes en vers, publié en 1844, dont l'auteur Heinrich Hoffmann (1809-1894) est un psychiatre et un écrivain, également auteur de livres pour enfants. Sous forme humoristique, il s'agit d'un vrai recueil de leçons de morale pour enfants, sur ce qu'il ne faut pas faire, allant de mal se tenir à table à se moquer des étrangers, en passant par faire du mal aux bêtes, etc. Le livre a été traduit dans plusieurs langues. On peut le trouver (ou en trouver des extraits) chez de nombreux pédopsychiatres allemands.

Le titre et sa traduction en français
Le héros du livre est personnifié par la figure du Struwwelpeter [chtrouvelpéta], en français : « Pierre l'ébouriffé », un enfant désobéissant qui ne se laisse couper ni ongles ni cheveux.

En France, le livre a été traduit sur la 360e édition du livre de Dr Heinrich Hoffmann et édité en 1872 chez Sandoz et Fischbacher à Paris par Trim sous le titre : Pierre l'ébouriffé : joyeuses histoires et images drôlatiques pour les enfants de 3 à 6 ans.

Naissance du Struwwelpeter
Le Struwwelpeter fut conçu à l'occasion des fêtes de Noël de l'année 1844. Heinrich Hoffmann souhaitait se procurer un beau livre d'images à offrir à son fils Carl, âgé de trois ans, mais ce qu'il trouva dans les différents magasins et librairies de Francfort ne le satisfit pas. C'est ainsi qu'il décida d'acheter un cahier vierge et d'y inscrire ses propres histoires et illustrations : le Struwwelpeter était né. Une fois le livre terminé, Heinrich Hoffmann l'offrit simplement à son fils, mais quelques-uns de ses amis, qui avaient eu l'occasion de voir eux aussi l'ouvrage, furent tellement impressionnés par le travail du docteur qu'ils s'efforcèrent de le convaincre de le publier. Au début, Hoffmann refusa catégoriquement d'envisager une publication : il n'avait jamais pensé à faire un tel usage de son livre, et n'avait aucune intention de se lancer dans une activité d'écrivain ou de dessinateur pour enfants.

C'est sur l'intervention d'un ami éditeur, Zacharias Löwenthal, qu'Heinrich Hoffman se laissa finalement persuader de publier le livre. Il accepta de suivre le conseil de son ami mais décida d'utiliser un nom d'emprunt (Reimerich Kinderlieb) car il souhaitait rester anonyme. La première version imprimée apparut en 1845 sous le titre  (Histoires drôles et images cocasses avec 15 jolis tableaux colorés pour les enfants de 3 à 6 ans). Le livre ne prit le nom de Struwwelpeter, sous lequel il se rendit célèbre, qu'à partir de 1847, avec la troisième édition.

Le Struwwelpeter devint rapidement célèbre en Allemagne, avant que le succès ne se propage aux pays étrangers. Les histoires courtes du docteur Hoffmann furent traduites en de nombreuses langues. Ainsi en Angleterre, la première traduction parut dès 1848, sous le nom «  ».

La signification du livre

Dans son livre, Heinrich Hoffmann raconte les histoires d'enfants turbulents qui se jouent des règles imposées par leurs parents et s'illustrent par des actes de désobéissance, de moquerie ou encore de maltraitance envers les animaux. Autant d'exemples de mauvais comportements propres à l'enfance, et qu'Hoffmann met en scène au travers d'illustrations délirantes et de textes en rimes à la fois drôles et cruels. En effet, dans chaque histoire, les enfants mal élevés subissent des punitions toutes plus terribles et effrayantes les unes que les autres. Par exemple, dans « L'Histoire Effroyable de Pauline et des Allumettes », une petite fille qui ne peut s'empêcher de jouer avec des allumettes finit par mettre le feu à sa robe et se retrouve réduite en tas de cendres. Dans « L'Histoire du Suceur de Pouce », une mère excédée prévient son fils Konrad qu'il ferait mieux de cesser de se sucer les pouces, sans quoi un tailleur viendra les lui couper. La mère s'absente, laissant son fils seul. Ce dernier se révèle bien entendu incapable de respecter les consignes de sa mère, et c'est alors que le tailleur surgit avec une énorme paire de ciseaux et sectionne les deux pouces du pauvre Konrad.

Le nom du livre, Struwwelpeter, est aussi le titre de la première histoire : un jeune garçon, Pierre, refuse catégoriquement de se laisser peigner, couper les ongles ou les cheveux. Il se laisse donc pousser les cheveux et les ongles pendant des mois, jusqu'à arborer une véritable crinière sur la tête et des griffes au bout des doigts. Si bien qu'il se retrouve au ban de la société, rejeté par sa famille et ses amis.

La particularité de ces histoires courtes réside bien entendu dans leur cruauté. Le but d'Heirich Hoffmann était en réalité de choquer les jeunes enfants afin de leur inculquer les règles de base de la politesse et de la bienséance. À la fin de chaque histoire se trouve ainsi une morale énoncée en termes simples et évocateurs, à travers le mauvais comportement d'enfants que l'on érige en contre-exemples, victimes de cruelles punitions à même d'inciter les jeunes lecteurs à se comporter en enfants modèles.

Mais le Struwwelpeter contient également d'autres types de leçons morales autour de thèmes graves tels que le racisme ou l'anorexie. L'une des histoires (« L'Histoire des Garçons Noirs »), trois garnements passent leur temps à importuner un pauvre garçon noir. Les trois vauriens sont alors attrapés par le grand Niklas, sorte de figure paternelle, qui les empoigne et les plonge dans un tonneau d'encre. Il les rend ainsi plus noirs encore que le garçon qu'ils chahutaient sans cesse, afin que cela leur serve de leçon.
Autre exemple : « L'Histoire de Kaspar qui ne mangeait jamais de Soupe ». Il s'agit de l'histoire de Kaspar, un garçon fort et en bonne santé qui proclame soudain qu'il n'avalera plus jamais la moindre goutte de soupe. Cinq jours plus tard il est devenu si maigre et faible qu'il meurt brutalement.

Malgré la cruauté et la dureté de ces histoires, il convient de ne pas limiter la portée du livre d'Hoffmann à de simples leçons morales. Le Struwwelpeter est aussi lié à certaines réflexions autour de l'idée d'éducation dans les classes moyennes. Certains pensent que l'idéal d'éducation qui fut propagé par Goethe et Jean-Jacques Rousseau a pu être réinterprété au travers du livre d'Hoffmann.

Le regard porté aujourd'hui sur le Struwwelpeter

Plus de 150 ans après son apparition, le Struwwelpeter jouit toujours d'une belle réputation dans les pays anglo-saxons, surtout en Allemagne. Un musée du Struwwelpeter a même été ouvert à Francfort-sur-le-Main (la ville où vécut Heinrich Hoffmann) en 1977. Ce musée ne contient pas uniquement des livres, des dessins ou des documents sur le Struwwelpeter ou sur la vie de Heinrich Hoffmann. On peut  également y trouver un théâtre pour enfant ainsi qu'une fondation venant en aide aux personnes victimes de troubles psychologiques, Hoffmann lui-même ayant été profondément impliqué dans ces questions au travers de sa profession de psychiatre.

Le succès du Struwwelpeter depuis sa création et jusqu'à aujourd'hui n'est pas à démentir. Il a été traduit dans plus de 35 langues comme le chinois ou encore l'afrikaans.
Mais un tel succès comporte bien évidemment sa part de controverse, en raison de la cruauté et du sadisme caractérisant les différentes histoires. Beaucoup considèrent que le propos contenu dans le livre est trop dur et critiquent le fait que le Struwwelpeter fait plus ou moins l'apologie d'une éducation stricte, sévère et rigide, qui n'a plus lieu d'être aujourd'hui.
À cet égard, Heinrich Hoffmann fut l'un des fondateurs de la pédagogie « psychologiquement répressive » et qu'il tenait tout particulièrement à se détacher de la tradition des contes fantastiques, comme ceux qui firent la renommée des frères Grimm.

Quoi qu'il en soit, le Struwwelpeter reste l'un des personnages les plus célèbres de la littérature enfantine. Des générations d'enfants se souviennent avec effroi des terribles punitions infligées aux garnements de ce livre, qui perpétue à travers les âges des modèles aujourd'hui désuets de la pédagogie enfantine.

Imitations et parodies
Le Struwwelpeter rencontra un tel succès qu'il fut bien sûr copié ou imité. En 1890 apparut une « Struwwelliese », version féminine du Struwwelpeter. Il y eut aussi un Struwwelpeter égyptien et même un « Struwwelhitler », nom d'une parodie anglaise satirique créée pour soutenir les troupes anglaises et les victimes des bombardements allemands outre-manche durant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale.

Certaines comédies musicales et pièces de théâtre s'appuyant sur l'histoire du Struwwelpeter furent également produites. Mais aucune d'entre elles ne put réitérer le succès rencontré par Heinrich Hoffmann avec son Struwwelpeter. Hoffmann lui-même publia cinq autres livres pour enfants par la suite, mais il ne parvint jamais à vendre autant de livres que le premier qu'il avait conçu, un jour de .

La chanson Hilf Mir du groupe de metal industriel allemand Rammstein, présente dans l'album Rosenrot sorti en 2005, s'inspire de la comptine La très triste histoire avec le briquet.

Une adaptation de Struwwelpeter: Die Rückkehr en bande dessinée par David Füleki est parue en 2009 chez Tokyopop.

Traductions

Le superflu des phrases, l'ordre des mots, l'étrangeté de certaines expressions (comme « avec sa bouche », «  » : cette précision est inutile et devrait être logiquement « avec sa gueule », «  » — pour le chien) ainsi que les coupures de certains mots ont servi aux rimes et aux pieds allemands. Les traductions sont quasiment mot à mot ; presque rien n'a été enlevé ni déplacé.

Une traduction française de Cavanna publiée par L'École des loisirs sous le titre Crasse Tignasse a été mise en chansons par Un Drame Musical Instantané (cd Auvidis, coll. Zéro de conduite, 1993)

On two different occasions the applicants wrote letters to Mr. Bigue and Ms. Bigue alleging discrimination. On both of these occasions the complaints were ignored and not investigated.
In relation to all of these incidents it was determined that the applicants' testimony was more credible than that of the respondents. It was found that the respondents discriminated against the applicants on the basis of race, colour, ancestry, place of origin, ethnic origin and creed.
Did the respondents discriminate against Mr. Islam and Mr. Malik on the basis of race, colour, ancestry, place of origin, ethnic origin and creed?
Did the respondents discriminate against Mr. Hossain on the basis of race, colour, ancestry, ethnic origin and creed?
In this case the applicants and respondents had different versions of events. In the majority of cases, the respondents denied that the alleged discrimination occurred. It was determined that the version of events provided by the applicants was more credible than that provided by the respondents.
"I have accepted that all of the applicants suffered discrimination during their employment in the workplace on the basis of creed, colour, ancestry, place of origin and ethnic origin, and that this discriminatory behaviour included harassment and failure to respond to complaints of discrimination. In addition, Mr. Hossain's request for time off for a religious occasion was denied without any consideration of accommodation. The evidence establishes and I accept that the respondents' breaches of the Code made the workplace intolerable for each of the applicants" (para 276).
In this case the remedies awarded to Mr. Islam, Mr. Hossain and Mr. Malik totaled nearly $100,000.
a) Within 30 days of this Decision, the respondents shall pay $18,632, less statutory deductions, to Abdul Malik to compensate for loss of income.
b) The respondents shall pay Abdul Malik pre-judgment interest in accordance with the Courts of Justice Act, on the amount set out in paragraph (a), above, from March 28, 2011.
c) Within 30 days of this Decision, the respondents shall pay $37,000 to Abdul Malik to compensate for violation of his inherent right to be free from discrimination, for injury to his dignity, feelings and self-respect, including the continuing stress caused by failure to investigate his complaints of discrimination.
d) The respondents shall pay Abdul Malik pre-judgment interest in accordance with the Courts of Justice Act, on the amount set out in paragraph (c), above, from March 15, 2011.
e) Within 30 days of this Decision, the respondents shall pay $7,920, less statutory deductions, to Arif Hossain to compensate for loss of income.
f) The respondents shall pay Arif Hossain pre-judgment interest in accordance with the Courts of Justice Act, on the amount set out in paragraph (e), above, from March 15, 2011.
g) Within 30 days of this Decision, the respondents shall pay $22,000 to Arif Hossain to compensate for violation of his inherent right to be free from discrimination, for injury to his dignity, feelings and self-respect, including the continuing stress caused by failure to investigate his complaints of discrimination.
h) The respondents shall pay Arif Hossain pre-judgment interest in accordance with the Courts of Justice Act, on the amount set out in paragraph (g), above, from August 15, 2010.
i) Within 30 days of this Decision, the respondents shall pay $1,040, less statutory deductions, to Mohammed Islam to compensate for loss of income.
j) The respondents shall pay Mohammed Islam pre-judgment interest in accordance with the Courts of Justice Act, on the amount set out in paragraph (i), above, from February 7, 2011.
k) Within 30 days of this Decision, the respondents shall pay $12,000 to Mohammed Islam to compensate for violation of his inherent right to be free from discrimination, for injury to his dignity, feelings and self-respect, including the continuing stress caused by failure to investigate his complaints of discrimination.
l) The respondents shall pay Mohammed Islam pre-judgment interest in accordance with the Courts of Justice Act, on the amount set out in paragraph (k), above, from August 15, 2010.
m) In the event that the respondents fail to make the payments described in paragraphs (a) through (l) above within 30 days of the date of this Decision, the respondents shall pay post-judgment interest on any accumulated principal and interest, calculated in accordance with section 129 of the Courts of Justice Act, from the date that is 30 days after the date of this Decision.
n) Within 30 days of the date of this Decision, the corporate respondent shall post Human Rights Code cards, available from the Ontario Human Rights Commission, at the entranceway to its premises and in the kitchen. These Human Rights Code cards shall be posted in visually prominent places.
o) Within 60 days of the date of this Decision, the respondents shall complete the Ontario Human Rights Commission's on-line training "Human Rights 101" (available at www.ohrc.on.ca/hr101) and confirm in writing to the applicants' counsel at the Human Rights Legal Support Centre that they have completed this training and have posted the Human Rights Code cards as set out in paragraph (n) above.
p) Within 90 days of the date of this Decision, the corporate respondent shall create and post within the workplace a workplace policy setting out its responsibilities, under the Human Rights Code, as an employer. The corporate respondent shall confirm in writing to the applicants' counsel at the Human Rights Legal Support Centre that it has created and posted the policy, and shall include with the written confirmation a copy of the policy.
The Tribunal made unreasonable findings of fact, particularly because it applied a more exacting level of scrutiny to the witnesses called by the applicants as compared to the level of scrutiny applied to the witnesses called by the respondents.
The Tribunal erred in its treatment of s. 45.1 of the Code. The applicants claimed that Mr. Malik had filed his human rights application and had filed a claim for employment insurance, as well as a claim for termination pay and severance pay pursuant to the Employment Standards Act. The applicants claimed that Mr. Malik's complaint had been appropriately dealt with by the ESA officer and the application should have been dismissed.
The Tribunal erred in not considering unsworn willsay statements that had been filed by the applicants.
In all three of these areas the Divisional Court ruled that the Tribunal had not erred. As part of the decision in this case the applicants (Big Inc.) were ordered to pay the respondents their costs for the application in the amount of $7,500.
 45.1 The Tribunal may dismiss an application, in whole or in part, in accordance with its rules if the Tribunal is of the opinion that another proceeding has appropriately dealt with the substance of the application.

The Knoxville City-County Building is a building at 400 Main Street in Knoxville, Tennessee that houses the offices of the city government of Knoxville and the county government of Knox County, Tennessee. It also houses the Knox County Jail. The building stands ten stories, and contains  of office space.  At the time it was built it was said to be the largest office building in Tennessee.

The building was completed in 1980, 50 years after a combined city-county government building was first proposed. Businessman Jim Haslam is considered responsible for the success of the initiative to build it.  The cost of the building was $26 million, much of it funded by municipal bond issues (the bonds were paid off in 2001).  The building was designed by Knoxville architect Bruce McCarty and his firm, McCarty Bullock Holsaple.

Almost immediately after opening, the jail struggled with overcrowding issues.  In 1986, a class action lawsuit was filed in federal court, claiming the jail was too crowded, and three years later, a judge ruled the facility unconstitutional.  When the county failed to resolve the issue, the judge ruled the county in contempt of court, forcing the county to build a new facility, which opened in October 1994.

The building was plagued with security concerns due to bomb threats during the mid-1990s.  Two mail bombs were delivered to Knox County District Attorney Randy Nichols in March 1994 and May 1994, respectively, forcing the building's evacuation.  The building was again evacuated in November 1995, following a bomb threat.

Az éhezők viadala Suzanne Collins amerikai írónő hasonló című trilógiájának az első kötete. Először az amerikai Scholastic adta ki 2008-ban, magyarul 2009. november 26-án jelent meg. A könyvből azonos címmel film is készült, melyet 2012-ben mutattak be.

A könyvet sokan támadták, azzal az érvevel, hogy a történet plagizálja a Battle Royale című regény történetét, de többen kiálltak a könyv mellett azt állítva, hogy a két műnek teljesen más az üzenete.

Történet

Észak-Amerika romjain ma Panem országa, a ragyogó Kapitólium és a tizenkét távoli körzet fekszik. A Kapitólium kegyetlenül bánik Panem lakóival: minden évben, minden körzetből kisorsolnak egy-egy tizenkét és tizennyolc év közötti fiút és lányt, akiknek részt kell venniük az Éhezők Viadalán. Az életre-halálra zajló küzdelmet élőben közvetíti a tévé. A tizenhat éves Katniss Everdeen egyedül él a húgával és az anyjával a Tizenkettedik Körzetben. Amikor a húgát kisorsolják, Katniss önként jelentkezik helyette a Viadalra, ez pedig felér egy halálos ítélettel. De Katniss már nem először néz farkasszemet a halállal – számára a túlélés a mindennapok része. Ha győzni akar, olyan döntéseket kell hoznia, ahol az életösztön szembe kerül az emberséggel, az élet pedig a szerelemmel.

Fogadtatás

Az éhezők viadala a megjelenését követően nagy kritikai sikert aratott. A kritikai dicséretek mellett az olvasók is pozitívan értékelték a könyvet, nem egy helyen maximális osztályzatot kapott. Emellett az egyre gyarapodó blogszférából is rengeteg pozitív beszámoló látott napvilágot.

text:
Les Gyrinidae (les gyrins (/ZiRe~/), parfois nommés tourniquets), sont une famille d'insectes de l'ordre des coléoptères (Coleoptera). Ils sont dulçaquicoles.

Étymologie
Le terme de gyrin est un emprunt au latin gyrinus, terme qui désignait le « têtard » qui dérivait de gyrus.
Ce dernier terme est lui-même issu du grec ancien γυρι̃νος qui signifie cercle ou rond.
Ces insectes sont nommés ainsi car ils avancent souvent en suivant des trajectoires circulaires et/ou ils produisent des ondes circulaires à la surface de l'eau.
