Jessica Trésor He Said He Loved Me Then Called Me A Bitch Image by albertoamaretto from Pixabay To say my view on marriage has changed over the years seems like an understatement. I used to believe marriage was a non-negotiable requirement for any intimate act — even a peck on the lips. I also used to believe marriage was only legit between a man and a woman. I'm happy to say this ex-homophobic prude (in theory only) has thrown all that out the window and embraced a more…relaxed view on the fanfare of marriage: marry, don't marry, it doesn't matter. This is coming from someone married to a perfect gentleman for the past six years. What does matter is cultivating the constant presence of other-centered love. One opinion or advice I stand by despite my shifting views on romantic relationships is when choosing a life partner (marriage or no marriage), especially a life partner to rear children with, never ignore red flags. Love isn't blind. Love is actually an X-Ray machine that can penetrate through layers of a person to expose what they're really about. Red flags spring up through actions or speech to reveal unaddressed, toxic character traits. They serve as a warning to either stop and turn the other way or at least proceed with caution. Although the internet and magazines from GQ to Psychology Today are riddled with comprehensive lists of what red flags look like, I think it's as simple as…you know when you know. Ignoring them is denial. In a world of dysfunctional humans sometimes oblivious to our priceless worth, I'd venture to say a majority of us have ignored red flags for the sake of acceptance in a relationship. I'm talking about the type of ignoring where we don't even proceed with caution but dive headfirst into the shallow waters. I'm guilty as charged. Here's where I would say, "as long as ignoring red flags is not patterned behavior and you eventually learn from your mistake." However, I can't quite do that. See, it dawned on me recently that that gentleman I referred to earlier, the one I said I'm married to as my life partner — he displayed some red flags that I…ignored. There was the time he flirted with me while he had a girlfriend. For this one, I'll split the red flag 50/50 between him and I. We met as freshmen in college. He had a girlfriend that was a senior in high school. We let the friendship play on even as it got dangerously close to something more. Although he didn't make a move to act on his attraction until a few hours after calling it off with his girlfriend, he still cheated and I still home-wrecked. There was the time he flipped a chessboard. My little cousins taught me how to play chess. They were in fifth and second grade at the time. I wouldn't call my self a master or anything but I really enjoyed playing…and beating my boyfriend at it repeatedly. His male ego, however, had a big problem with that so he made the move to end my winning streak: he went to the library. This dude (forgive me for the New York in me coming out) deadass skipped the internet and Google and went to the library to borrow a book on Chess — just so he could beat me. Turns out a library book couldn't beat me. The day he decides to put his newfound skills to the test, I have him in checkmate within ten minutes. Next thing I know, pawns are flying in the air and he's storming off in a show of fragile masculinity. There was the time he told me he loved me then called me a bitch. At this point, we were about two years into the relationship. I didn't register the fact that I was in what some would consider a "serious relationship." I was apparently in the kind of relationship where "I love yous" are typically exchanged but I didn't understand what this "love" business was about. The day my boyfriend says "I love you," I'm on duty in the Resident Assistants office filling out paperwork and rambling about some nonsense. I heard the words but carried on with my rambling, attempting to remain unphased. "You bitch," I hear him say while throwing himself back on the couch in a show of toxic masculinity. There was the time he cheated on me. It turns out the other bitch, Karma, was lurking around the corner because the circumstances that brought us together foreshadowed this. At this point, we were four years into the relationship with an emotional breakup included in there. I choose him as my life partner. I was all the way committed. There were talks of marriage and only one semester of school keeping us from planning our life of holy matrimony. That semester also added about 1,200 miles of distance between us as he studied abroad in Italy. Love letters filled with sweet nothings and lip gloss prints and cologne sprays were exchanged. No inkling of betrayal. Then he tells me he kissed a girl while drunk. Okay, that stung. I don't remember exactly how I processed the news but I forgave him and we moved on. The semester ends and we also moved on to a new phase of our lives as adults. Little did I know he was scheming in the background planning a proposal. However, that was put on hold because a painful truth needed to be revealed. A letter in the mail from him would reveal that he also had sex with the same woman he kissed. I was just hoping for sweet nothings. It stung. But this time, the pain paralyzed me. Now that I sufficiently aired his dirty laundry, threw him under the bus, and drug him in the dirt, I feel like a complete hypocrite. I ignored red flags, dove into a relationship where I ended up marrying a cheating jerk. Except he's not. My husband — the same boyfriend from a few paragraphs ago — is a perfect human being in my eyes. I strive to be like him every day. He is kind, gentle, compassionate, caring, respectful, supportive, and faithful. Behind all those red flags, that is what he was all along. Now I'm struggling with how to reconcile the sage advice with my personal experience. Maybe I just lucked out or maybe I should be waiting for the other shoe to drop. The one thing I know for certain is that God was, and still is the game-changer in all of this. If it wasn't for his creative finesse in making all things, even red flags, work for our good, my story would be very different. Red flags taught us love. That day my husband called me a bitch because I didn't verbally reciprocate his love profession, I honestly didn't know what love was. Apparently neither did he because love is patient and kind. Love is not rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable. That was courtesy of 1 Corinthians 13:4–5 NLT. Love addressed those toxic views on masculinity that my husband held by affirming his identity as God's beloved. Red flags taught us wisdom. For instance, we decided it was wise to stay clear of chess games. But on a more serious note, God taught us the wisdom in preparing for committing to life-partnership. That ironically includes being aware of red flags. Also, we learned to seek wisdom from others that have done it before us. The conclusion I've come to is I can never judge anyone for dismissing the advice on red flags. I won't dare underestimate that incredibly intense tie between two souls. It's rarely as simple as "just break up already!" Those toxic relationships I see where its red flags galore and the two can't stay broken up for the life them, I can't judge that. That woman or man that thinks maybe they can change those character flaws in due time, I can't judge that either. All I'll aim to do is be understanding and hope they both come to a revelation of their priceless worth. Learning to be human. Learning to love bigger.

Q: will there be any issue for my system if I upgrade my database which is oracle 11.1.0.6 to 11.1.0.7 I'm working on Oracle 11.1.0.6 and planning to upgrade it to 11.1.0.7. What are the expected issues I'm going to face? P.S: it's for banking system A: Test it is the answer. Minor upgrades should not give problems but if you do not test your application you will not be sure. A: 11.1.0.7 is so far out of support that it's not even funny (end of support was August 2015 for "extended" support - see http://www.oracle.com/us/support/library/lifetime-support-technology-069183.pdf). Given that you will (presumably) be doing a full-scale regression test for any upgrade of this scale, why choose to land on an unsupported version, when you could move to a supported version? It'd be a two-step upgrade for you (11.1.0.6->11.1.0.7->12.1.0.2), but long-term, it's a better position to be in. To directly answer your question, you'll find out what issues you'll face by doing a full regression test. That's the only way.
News Climate Cold War–era spy satellite images show Himalayan glaciers are melting fast Declassified photos and NASA data provide a picture of accelerating ice loss MELT MAPPING Photographs taken on December 20, 1975, by a Cold War–era spy satellite were used to create this 3-D image of the Himalayan landscape. J. Maurer/LDEO Declassified Cold War–era spy satellite film shows that the melting of hundreds of Himalayan glaciers has sped up in recent decades. An analysis of 650 of the largest glaciers in the mountain range revealed that the total ice mass in 2000 was 87 percent of the 1975 mass. By 2016, the total ice mass had shrunk to only 72 percent of the 1975 total. The data show that the glaciers are receding twice as fast now as they were at the end of the 20th century, report Joshua Maurer, a glaciologist at Columbia University, and colleagues June 19 in Science Advances. The primary cause for that acceleration, the researchers found, was warming: Temperatures in the region have increased by an average 1 degree Celsius from 2000 to 2016. Meltwater from Himalayan glaciers are a source of freshwater to hundreds of millions of people each year. However, recent studies examining changes in glacier mass from 2000 to 2016 have shown that this store of freshwater is shrinking, threatening future water security in the region (SN Online: 5/29/19). To project future glacier melt, scientists need to understand what has been driving the ice loss. In addition to warming, changes in precipitation and deposits of tiny pollutant particles called black carbon onto the surface of the ice have been implicated in speeding up melting. Such particles can darken the ice's surface and reduce its albedo effect, or the reflection of incoming radiation from the sun back into space (SN Online: 5/19/14). As a result, the ice absorbs more heat and melts more quickly. Some glaciers are melting faster than others, making it difficult to determine long-term trends for the whole region. So Maurer and his colleagues turned to the declassified spy data to get the big picture. In the 1970s and 1980s, U.S. intelligence agencies used 20 KH-9 military satellites to collect reconnaissance data around the globe. The satellites took thousands of photographs, including of glaciers in the Himalayas, and then ejected the film capsules, which parachuted to Earth. After the images were declassified in 2011, scientists with the U.S. Geological Survey scanned them and made them publicly available. Those photographs can be used to make stereoscopic images, in which two images of the same scene, taken from slightly different angles, are combined to create a 3-D image. Maurer and his colleagues devised a computer program to automate this time-consuming process and create three-dimensional digital snapshots of elevation across much of the Himalaya region. The team then did the same with data collected beginning in 1999 by a joint NASA-Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry satellite called Terra. By analyzing elevation changes over time, the researchers were then able to calculate loss of mass for each glacier. Using 1975 as a starting point, the team determined how much mass was lost by 2000, and then by 2016. The average rate of ice loss, they found, was about 0.43 meters of water per year per glacier from 2000 to 2016 — twice as fast as the rate calculated for the period from 1975 to 2000, about 0.22 meters of water per year. An increase of between 0.4 degrees and 1.4 degrees Celsius for 2000 to 2016, relative to 1975 to 2000, would be necessary to accelerate warming in that way, the team found. That's consistent with observed air temperatures measured at stations around the Himalaya region, which are on average 1 degree Celsius higher today compared with the two decades at the end of the 20th century. "We did know already quite well the mass balance rates of the last two decades, but going this far back for the entire region is great," says Walter Immerzeel, a mountain hydrologist at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. That, he says, reveals the "particularly interesting" point that the ice mass loss has nearly doubled from 2000 to 2016, relative to 1975 to 2000. Previous studies, including one in Nature in 2017 coauthored by Immerzeel, have also implicated temperature increases in the region as the main culprit behind Himalayan melting, rather than precipitation or albedo changes. That said, there's still a lot that scientists don't know about how temperature, precipitation and changes in albedo all interact to promote melting in the mountains, says glaciologist Patrick Wagnon of the Institute of Research for Development in Grenoble, France, also a coauthor on the 2017 Nature study. "There are a lot of uncertainties, and it's much more complex than what's shown here," Wagnon says. J.M. Maurer et al. Acceleration of ice loss across the Himalayas over the past 40 years.

Two men from Baung Dwet village in Mrauk-U Township were shot by the Tatmadaw on Saturday night, one died and the other man received serious injuries, according to local residents. Villagers said that they heard the sound of three gunshots at about 8 p.m., and second round of gunfire. At about 10 p.m. villagers heard the cry of men in pain. "We could not go and see them because of the shooting. We called the phone numbers given to us by authorities concerned. But, no one arrived. We looked around the following morning, we found two men with wounds from bullets," said a villager who asked not to be named for safety reasons. "One of the men had a bullet pass through his body while the other man had a bullet still lodged in his body," the villager said. Both of them are in their 60's. U Maung Kyaw Sein eventually died from his wound but U Kyaw Thein was provided with medical treatment in Sittwe hospital. "The village is located between No.377 and 378 Light Infantries. The shots were fired by the No. 378 Light Infantry adjacent to the village," the villager said. The DMG contacted Brig-Gen Zaw Min Tun from the Tatmadaw True News Information Team, and he responded that the Tatmadaw did not fire any guns into the village. "We did not open fire in the village. There was some shooting because we heard some suspicious movement near the building for married soldiers in No. 377 Light Infantry. But, the direction of the shooting was not towards the village. We will release an official statement about the case," Brig-Gen Zaw Min Tun said. Villagers said that there were no clashes between the Tatmadaw and AA near Baung Dwet village.
Morrison swings axe through public service Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison - AAP Scott Morrison is slashing the number of federal government departments and sacking five senior bureaucrats in a major shake-up of the public service. Labor and unions say it is the wrong call at a time of job insecurity and could undermine frontline services Australians rely on. Four new super departments will be created as the prime minister attempts to cut red tape. Mr Morrison said the changes were not about cutting jobs or making savings. "I'm ensuring the Australian public service is lean and mean and focused on the job of delivering for Australians," he told parliament on Thursday. He said fewer departments would allow the government to "bust bureaucratic congestion and improve decision-making". The public sector union said the prime minister had his head in the sand and was choosing smoke and mirrors over real action. "Dismantling departments won't improve services to the community, won't get phones answered or claims processed," CPSU national secretary Melissa Donnelly said. "What we need is simply enough permanent staff to do the work at hand." She noted that since 2013 nearly 19,000 public service jobs had been lost. One of the sacked department secretaries said he was blindsided by the purge. "I was told of the government's decision to abolish the department late yesterday afternoon," Mike Mrdak told Department of Communications staff. "We were not permitted any opportunity to provide advice on the machinery of government changes, nor were our views ever sought on any proposal to abolish the department or to changes to our structure and operations." The number of government departments is being reduced from 18 to 14. Four new mega departments will be created before parliament resumes early next year, including: * Education, Skills and Employment * Agriculture, Water and the Environment * Industry, Science, Energy and Resources * Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications. Mr Morrison nominated the education department changes as critical to economic reform, linking school education, skills and training and tertiary education. Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese is deeply sceptical. "This is about centralising power," Mr Albanese told reporters. "This prime minister has been making cuts to the public service continuously since they were elected in 2013." Labor's public services spokeswoman Katy Gallagher said that at a time of economic uncertainty "the last thing this nation needs is more jobs cuts". The changes will not trigger a ministerial reshuffle. "I am very pleased with the performance of all of my ministers," the prime minister said, confirming embattled Energy Minister Angus Taylor would be keeping his job.

Who now buys the sheet music scores? Now who sits as the hours go past? Who will now sit in that chair? Impossible not to feel sad for those times that are gone. Is that always the way? There must be many for whom an unhappy childhood is best forgotten. The past is always strange. Just a few decisions still to be made and then...move on. Altering the third line was the breakthrough here and moving the streamers to the next line. It took ages to find the word 'unwound' but that's what they were. Rolls of crepe paper which we pinned at one end and then twisted into curls. I'm quite happy with rhyming fire and air, too. Just one more verse, I think. is my addition to take up the rhyme from the first line. Who lies on the lawn….. Some important changes. Grass gives me more opportunities for the last – undecided – line. Changing the boys to boy alters the whole feel for me because suddenly the boy is me as well as being my son(s). And book would suit either much more than comic. The 'look' is a bit forced but in keeping with Hardy, I feel. Just the last line to work on. A bit of a struggle but in the end a soluition usually emerges. I had to abandon the original first line which, ironically, was the one that had got me into using this poem / pattern. But it works and it's also true. The standard lamp has had to go, too, though it might make a reappearance later. We did make a lot of noise and the soft furnishings helpoed to protect the neighbours just a bit. Browsing through some poems of Thomas Hardy, I was struck by the structure of many of his poems: a lot of variation in line length and a resulting stop / start rhythm as well as interesting appearance on the page. - is a beginning but of course, he has a rhyme scheme as well. That will need some work.

This study begins with a brief investigation of historical influences on Baptist liturgical theology and music. It then introduces the study of liturgical inculturation, describing principles and methods developed by Catholic and Protestant liturgists. These principles and methods serve as a basis for application of liturgical inculturation among Baptists in the United States… A history of music ministry at the United States Air Force Academy Chapel with an emphasis on Protestant worship, 1954-1984 – John A. Lassitter Monday, September 16, 2013 \| Church Music History, Theses & Dissertations The primary objective of the United States Air Force Academy is to produce quality leaders that serve as officers in the United States Air Force. Many programs at the Academy help accomplish this goal, one of which is the Chapel Music Program. This paper will explore the musical institutions at the Academy by researching and studying the work of various music directors including James Roger Boyd, Edmund L. Ladouceur, and Joseph M.

Are you ready to get the scoop on all the new movies and TV shows arriving on Hulu this June? Alllllllrighty then! It's totally appropriate to quote Ace Ventura right now since both Jim Carrey comedies are now streaming on Hulu. Plenty of other awesome '90s movies have debuted on the streaming service, too, from the action-packed Con Air to the Academy Award-winning Dances With Wolves and family favorite Free Willy. If TV's more in line with your interests, then you'll want to check out all of Black-ish Season Three when it arrives on June 2. What else is new on Hulu for the month of June? Let's take a look at the full list of titles arriving and exiting the platform below! After killing it for a five seasons on In Living Color, Jim Carrey became a bona fide movie star with the release of the kinetic and oddball Ace Ventura. As the animated pet detective, Carrey created one of the definitive characters of the '90s (and probably created a spike in the sale of Hawaiian shirts). If you're a fan of Carrey's comedy, you're in luck: both Ace Ventura films are streaming! Bust out your shades, get out your hair gel, and host a theme party this month. If Big Little Lies reminded you just how awesome Reese Witherspoon is, then you'll want to check out her iconic turn as fashionista-turned-Harvard law student Elle Woods. This comedy is packed with girl power, as California girl Elle defies all the expectations of her snooty West Coast classmates. The fun doesn't have to stop here, either, since Legally Blonde's 2003 sequel has also been added to Hulu's lineup this month. Initially a documentary about the construction of the largest single-family home in the United States (90,000 square feet!), The Queen of Versailles took a sharp turn when the Great Recession hit in 2008. Instead, the doc chronicled the fascinating (and pretty upsetting) life of super wealthy resort owner David Siegel and his pageant-winning wife as their entire life is irrevocably changed by the financial crisis. This is a fascinating look inside the life (and decline) of one extravagantly wealthy family. Instead of going for a big, splashy, franchise-altering extravaganza like 2013's Star Trek Into Darkness, director Justin Lin's 2016 follow-up went the self-contained route and gave Trekkies and recent converts a rollicking action story more in-line with the original '60s TV series. Beyond also added Idris Elba and upcoming Mummy star Sofia Boutella into the mix. If you missed this film in theaters, now's definitely the time to check it out. If you think today's slate of movies just recycle ideas ad nauseam, just think back to the '90s. Instead of churning out sequels and prequels, movies in the '90s just took popular TV shows from the '60s or '70s and stretched them out into a feature-length format. While many of those experiments are forgettable (the big screen Beverly Hillbillies?), The Brady Bunch Movie is a whole other thing. Instead of just doing a straightforward kitsch-plosion, this kooky comedy zeroes in on everything that made the '70s family sitcom so grating by having them clash with the grunge-tastic '90s.
Award the George Cross to hero who fought attacker of Jo Cox MP by: Rachel Collinson recipient: Matt Hancock MP, United Kingdom During the vicious, hellish attack on MP Jo Cox, an elderly gentleman by the name of Bernard Kenny tried to defend her. During the struggle, the attacker stabbed Bernard in the stomach with a ten inch knife. After the 77-year-old fell to the ground, his thoughts were only for others, as he mouthed 'I'm OK' to his terrified wife across the road. We believe that Bernard Kenny deserves the highest honour for bravery that this country can award. The Cabinet Office must make it so as quickly as possible, so that our nation's thoughts are on love and bravery rather than hate and fear. Dear Mr Hancock MP, We the undersigned wish that Bernard Kenny's act of supreme bravery should be recognised by the highest honour the UK Government can bestow. At this time when the country is dominated by fear and hate, we think that a man motivated only by selfless courage and love should be honoured in this way, and quickly. During the extreme violence unleashed on Jo Cox MP, Bernard Kenny stepped in, unarmed, to wrestle with the attacker. In the process he suffered a deep stab wound to his stomach and fell to the ground. Even in this state he mouthed 'I'm ok' to his terrified wife across the road. Please would you act straight away to award Bernard Kenny the George Cross for his incredible bravery in trying to save the life of Jo Cox MP, and show our country that love wins over hate. Update #16 years ago Great news for our campaign: Bernard Kenny has been discharged from hospital! Today (Weds) would have been Jo Cox's birthday, but it is also Bernard's! We hope that the Cabinet will symbolically announce their decision today. If that doesn't happen, we have a plan to take this campaign to the next level, so keep an eye out. If you're in the UK, whichever side you're on, please make sure you vote in the referendum! Thanks and much appreciation for joining this campaign.
The women vanishing without a trace By Nina Lakhani Mexico state https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-34172733 Thousands of women and girls disappear in Mexico every year - many are never seen alive again. When one couple realised their daughter was missing, they knew they didn't have long to find her. Elizabeth realised something was terribly wrong within 15 minutes of her teenage daughter, Karen, disappearing. "I just knew it, I had an anguish that I'd never felt before. I searched the streets, called friends and family, but no-one had seen her," she says. "She'd gone to the public toilets with nothing - no money, no mobile phone, no clothes… We thought she'd been kidnapped." Karen disappeared in April 2013 when she was 14 - one of thousands of girls to have gone missing in recent years in Mexico state - a sprawling administrative region which wraps around the capital, Mexico City. A staggering 1,238 women and girls were reported missing in the state in 2011 and 2012 - the most recent figures available. Of these, 53% were girls under the age of 17. No-one knows how many have been found dead or alive, or are still missing. This is the most dangerous Mexican state to be a woman - at least 2,228 were murdered here in the past decade. Image caption A pair of girl's shoes with the message: "Where are they? We ask for justice" Elizabeth reported her daughter missing after three hours of frantic searching. But in Mexico police will not open a missing person's file until someone has been gone for 72 hours, not even for a child. So, Elizabeth and her husband, Alejandro, started their own investigation, which began by going through their daughter's social network accounts. "When we got into her Facebook account, we realised that she had a profile that we didn't know about, with more than 4,000 friends. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack, but there was one man who caught our attention. His was photographed with girls wearing very few clothes and big guns, and was friends with lots of girls about the same age as our daughter," says Elizabeth. He manipulated her really well, and in her innocence she didn't understand the magnitude of the danger she'd been in Alejandro, father "This man rang alarm bells: he talked like a drug trafficker, about territory, about travelling, that he was coming to see her soon. He'd been in contact with her a few days before she disappeared, and had given her a smartphone so they could stay in contact, and we hadn't known," says Alejandro. Each year it's estimated that 20,000 people are trafficked in Mexico, according to the International Organization for Migration. The majority are forced into prostitution. Authorities say a growing number are being targeted online. Karen's family realised they didn't have long to stop her being taken out of the country. They put pressure on the police to issue an "amber alert", and plastered official missing posters at every bus terminal and toll booth around Mexico City. They managed to get their daughter's case on television and radio news bulletins. Their tenacity paid off. Sixteen days after Karen disappeared, she was abandoned at a bus terminal, along with another girl who was registered missing in a different state. The publicity had spooked their trafficker who was planning to take them to New York. He has never been caught. "This man had promised her travel, money, a music career and fame. He manipulated her really well, and in her innocence she didn't understand the magnitude of the danger she'd been in," says Alejandro. Image caption Elizabeth and Alejandro have a folder full of details of missing girls At first, Karen was angry with her parents for ruining what she believed could have been her big break in the music business. So Elizabeth took her to a conference where she met girls who had been trafficked. Nina Lakhani's report on the missing women of Mexico was broadcast on Outlook on BBC World Service Listen on BBC iPlayer Radio "It was when she heard their stories and realised what hell they'd been through that she finally realised the danger she'd been in. She went to the conference as one girl, and came back another," says Elizabeth. Since Karen's return, Elizabeth and Alejandro have helped reunite 21 desperate families with their children. But they have a folder full of photos of others, some as young as five, who remain missing. They drove me to the other side of Mexico state to meet one of them, the family of 17-year-old Syama Paz Lemus who disappeared in October 2014 - she was targeted online too. The journey took us along the Grand Canal which runs through the state - the putrid smell of its filthy water is overpowering. Hundreds of bone fragments were pulled out of the canal last September, and so far several missing girls have been identified. There is no national database of missing people in Mexico which makes the identification of remains difficult. Image caption Remains of several missing girls have been found in the Grand Canal While driving, Elizabeth received a distressing call requesting help in finding two sisters, aged 14 and three, who had disappeared while playing outside a few days earlier. The family sounded desperate, and Elizabeth promised to raise the alarm. But this time she was unable to do much - the following day, she told me they had been found dead. When we arrived at our destination, I learned more about Syama Paz Lemus - a shy girl who loved chatting on social networks and online gaming, she spent a lot of time in her bedroom on her laptop and Xbox. It's a typical teenage girl's bedroom, with every wall covered in posters of bands and Japanese anime figures. Her dressing table is jam-packed with cosmetics and there's a TV and DVD player opposite the bed - now draped with a huge missing poster which her family take on marches. Syama had seemed withdrawn in the fortnight before she disappeared, but her family assumed it was normal teenage behaviour so didn't press her for an explanation. On the day she disappeared, her mother called her from work around 17:00 to make sure she'd eaten, but when Syama's grandfather returned at 20:00 she was gone. Her room was a mess and her Xbox and some clothes were also missing. The neighbours said Syama opened the door to a hooded man who arrived in a taxi just after 17:00. Not long after, he led Syama out of the house carrying two bags, and the pair left in a white car. Her mother Neida went online straight away but Syama's Facebook and Xbox accounts had been de-activated. She eventually found a secret folder showing screengrabs of online threats Syama had received in the weeks leading up to her disappearance. "The threats were very direct: they said that if she didn't go with this person, her life would be made impossible, that they would publish her life on social networks, and that she and her family would regret it," says Neida. "We always worried about her spending so much time online, but talked to her about the risks and had told her that she shouldn't give out information about herself." Syama had left notes for her mother and grandparents. "She said that she would be OK, that we shouldn't worry, and that we shouldn't look for her. She asked me to look after her little sister, and buy her a present, so that she would always remember her," says Neida, breaking down in tears. Since then, the family has searched for Syama in the hope of finding some clue to her whereabouts. They've traced unknown callers to Syama's mobile phone and chased anonymous tips around the country, but 10 months later there has been no breakthrough. Image caption "No more violence against women" In July, the state governor finally admitted - after years of denial - that gender violence is a serious problem in some areas. He issued Mexico's first ever "gender alert" in 11 of the 125 municipalities, including Ecatepec where Syama lived. This means federal authorities must investigate the causes of the high levels of gender violence and then introduce emergency and long-term measures to protect women and girls. Syama's case is still open with police, and her family remains optimistic. "Karen's story does give us hope that my daughter could return one day. But it's very hard, because you realise how unsafe it is here; you're not even safe in your own home." Karen's name has been changed for this article More on Mexico's missing Many families in Mexico who have lost loved ones are now turning to social media for help, upset at the lack of official action. Thousands of people believe they have a better chance of finding missing relatives if they organise online searches themselves.

This week is my daily listing of my Top Ten lists (in no particular order - it's hard enough for me to limit it to ten!) of the Best Books I've Read this year in different categories. Day five is fantastic because I've been reading so many ARCs since NCTE and I've been lucky enough to have read some amazing 2013 releases a little early. And since many of these come out in the next month or two, I didn't want to have to wait until December of next year to tell you that you should definitely add to your To Be Read list! Titles link to my reviews (already or soon to be posted). Loved Pivot Point and can't wait to read Mind Games. Prodigy is awesome. Can't wait to read your other 2013 picks. You should add Shades of Earth by Beth Revis to your list. It was fantastic. I'm reading Just One Day right now and really loving it. Miss getting ARCs but love the list- Really looking forward to reading Legend soon! I have Scarlet waiting to be read. These all look so YA, though. For Christmas, I'd like some good MG football books. Obviously, I need to get out more!
With our Science Talk blog, we hope to lift the lid on the black box that is the ICR: to show you inside our labs, to introduce you to a few of the people here who make the discoveries, and to allow them to tell some of the stories behind the science. We try to put our discoveries in a wider scientific context, and give an idea of how our science is actually done. We also give you the view from the ICR of important developments in the wider world of cancer research. The Institute of Cancer Research, London, hosted a special live broadcast of the BBC 5 Live Drive programme on Monday 30 January from the Centre for Cancer Drug Discovery – dedicated to celebrating advances in cancer research and promoting the new live episode of the 'You, Me & the Big C' podcast. Diana Cano, Laura-Maria Horga and Ichha Khanal attended the broadcast and share some highlights. When Alfred Samuels was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in 2012, it felt as if his world had fallen apart overnight. Doctors said surgery wasn't an option for him because the cancer had spread beyond his prostate, and he started to lose hope. But then he joined a clinical trial and began treatment with abiraterone, a drug discovered and developed by our scientists, which is now extending the lives of thousands of men worldwide. Eleven years later, Alfred explains how he wouldn't be here today without our research. "I think the cancer is done now" – Gerry's story Gerry was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2000. During Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, he tells us what research has brought him.

The force was with Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) on Monday. The Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute runs the Angels in Adoption program, which honors individuals, couples and organizations that have made extraordinary contributions on behalf of children in need of families. Bachmann has been involved with the organization while serving in Congress. In May 2014, Bachmann opened up about her own experience with foster children, telling the Hallmark Channel what it's like to have 28 kids in her family -- five biological and 23 from foster care. "This is really what I wanted more than anything, was to be a happy mom in a big house," Bachmann said. "That's what I wanted -- just to have a house full of kids."

A coastal city famous for icons such as the Opera House, Skywalk, and beautiful beaches, Sydney is an excellent place for day trippers and globetrotters alike to visit. Like the rest of Australia, Sydney is touched by the country's rugged outdoor lifestyle in spite of the city, and it's a good idea to pack your belongings with this in mind. Sydney is in a temperate subtropical climate and enjoys a long summer with warm weather. The temperature ranges from 60 to 80 degrees in summer, with occasional hot spells of over 80 degrees. Humidity in summer ranges from 60 to 70 percent. Lightweight clothing, in general, is suitable attire for Sydney's climate. Summer evenings can be humid, but you will definitely need a warm jacket or pullover by nightfall. If you're planning on doing any bush walking through the nearby national parks, a sturdy pair of comfortable hiking shoes is a must. Sun protective clothing, a broad-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen will save you from getting too much sun if you plan to spend some time on the beach. Being in the Southern Hemisphere, summer in Sydney lasts from December to March and winter from June through August. Winters in Sydney are fairly mild, with temperatures becoming a little chillier towards the Blue Mountains. Many travelers suggest a jacket with jeans and a long sleeved top underneath for the city and a scarf with gloves and boots for traveling in more mountainous areas. A great advantage to being in Sydney during the winter is that it will also be "winter" in the Northern Territories if you plan to explore there, which means it will be warm to hot, but not unbearably humid. Australians in Sydney dress quite casually in the summer, so unless you're going to Sydney for a business trip, you definitely won't stick out like a sore thumb if you wore a simple pair of beach shorts with a tank top. Bring your backpack with you too, because in Sydney there is a lot to see. Australia typically has over 100 days of sun per year, but when it does rain it's usually a very heavy downpour. The rainiest time of year is between February and June. The Australians commonly refer to this heavy rain as "it's raining cats and dogs!" so make sure you bring some wet weather gear so that you don't get completely and totally soaked. It's often not the kind of rain that you can easily walk through without getting too wet, such as in London. So make sure to bring your rain jacket, an umbrella, and good gripping shoes. When the pavement gets wet, it sometimes gets very slippery. Editor's Note: The information contained on this page was compiled using real traveler reviews about what to pack in Sydney.
David Ramsay (* in Schottland; † ca. 1653) war Hofuhrmacher der englischen Könige Jakob I. und Karl I. Er stammte aus Schottland und gehörte dem Clan der Ramsays of Dalhousie an. Leben Sein Sohn William (bl. 1660) berichtet, dass König Jakob I. zum Beginn seiner Regentschaft Ramsay, der sich zu der Zeit in Frankreich aufhielt, suchen ließ und ihn zum Kammerdiener und Hüter der herrschaftlichen Räume machte und ihm die Verantwortung für alle Uhren seiner Majestät übertrug. Der König gab diese Stellung an Ramsay, obwohl dieser von Hause aus nur ein einfacher Uhrmacher war, so der Sohn weiter, weil sein Scharfsinn ihn dazu befähigte, jegliche Arbeit dieser Natur zu verstehen. Am 25. November 1613 wurde Ramsey "clockmaker-extraordinary" des Königs mit einer Rente von 50£ pro Jahr. Für den März 1616 ist ein warrant über die Zahlung von 234£ 10s. an ihn für den Kauf und die Reparatur von Uhren für den König bekannt. Am 26. November 1618 wurde er Hofuhrmacher und am 27. Juli 1619 erhielt er die "letters of denization", die ihm als Ausländer einige Privilegien britischer Staatsbürger zugestanden, so zum Beispiel den Landerwerb. Er erhielt weitere Zahlungen für seine Dienste, eine davon unterzeichnete er am 17. März 1627 mit "David Ramsay, esq., our clockmaker and page of our bedchamber". Seine frühen Werke signierte er mit "David Ramsay, Scotus". Am 22. August 1631 war Ramsay Gründungsmitglied der Worshipful Company of Clockmakers und wurde deren erster "Master". Er nahm aber wahrscheinlich sehr wenig Anteil an der Arbeit der Gesellschaft. Als er seinen Eid vor dem Lord Mayor ablegte wird er als "einer der der City of London" beschrieben, aber die städtischen Archive der City of London liefern keine Anhaltspunkte dafür, dass er tatsächlich ein freeman war. Ramsay war auch ein Erfinder. Zwischen 1618 und 1638 erhielt er acht Patente. Obwohl die vollen Titel dieser Patente in den Registern der commissioners of patents enthalten sind, gibt es keine genauen Information über die Art der Erfindungen. Sie beziehen sich auf: das Pflügen von Land, das Düngen von kargen Böden, das Heben von Wasser mit Hilfe von Feuer, das Antreiben von Schiffen und Booten, die Herstellung von Salpeter, die Herstellung von Wandbehang ohne einen Webstuhl, die Raffination von Kupfer, das Bleichen von Wachs, die Trennung von Gold und Silber von unedlen Metallen, das Färben von Textilien, Heizkessel, Zementöfen zum Trocknen und Brennen von Ziegel und Fliesen und das Schmelzen und Veredeln von Eisen mittels Kohle. In seinen späteren Jahren fiel er in Armut. 1641, während er wegen Schulden inhaftiert war, forderte er vom House of Lords die Nachzahlung seiner Pension als Kammerdiener für sechs Jahre. Wegen dieser Rückstände gewährte das "Committee for the Advance of Money for the Service of the Parliament" ihm durch eine Bestellung vom 13. Januar 1645 die Auszahlung eines Drittel des Betrages, welches aus dem Vermögen Verurteilter beglichen werden sollte. Es scheint daher, dass er sich einer politischen Fraktion angeschlossen hatte. Für den 11. Februar 1651 existiert eine Notiz im Sitzungsprotokoll des Staatsrates, dass eine Petition von David Ramsay an den Münz-Ausschuss verwiesen wurde. Das genaue Datum Ramsays Tod ist unbekannt, aber sein Sohn erwähnt im Postskript seiner 'Astrologia Restaurata' am 17. Januar 1653, diese Studien im Hause seines Vaters durchzuführen. Erhaltene Uhren Exemplare von Ramsays Uhren befinden sich im British Museum, im Victoria and Albert Museum und im Metropolitan Museum of Art. Sonstiges Ramsay interessierte sich auch für Okkultismus. William Lilly berichtet amüsiert in seiner Autobiographie 'Life and Times' (1715), wie er 1634 zusammen mit Ramsay und anderen den Versuch unternimmt, mit einer Wünschelrute einen sagenhaften, versteckten Schatz in der Westminster Abbey zu finden. Nachdem sie zunächst einen Sarg haben ausgraben lassen, wird die Suche durch plötzliche, heftige Winde unterbrochen. Die Anwesenden schreiben dies Dämonen zu, die jedoch durch Lillys Anweisungen unverzüglich ausgetrieben werden können. Sir Edward Coke schrieb an Staatssekretär Francis Windebank über eine schwierige Kreditentscheidung: "wenn, jetzt, David Ramsay mit seinem Stein der Weisen mitwirken könnte, dann würde er einen guten Dienst erweisen." Es gibt auch Einträge in den Calendars of State Papers vom 28. Juli 1628 und 13. August 1635 die sich auf versteckte Schätze beziehen, die Ramsay zu finden gedachte.

One of the most beautiful places on earth is the quaint town of Cabrera on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. It feels undiscovered by the everyday tourist looking for the all-inclusive island vacation. In Cabrera, you feel the real heart of the Dominican. I am lucky enough to visit Cabrera almost on a yearly basis. My best friend in the world, Ashleigh, works at a hotel owned by her father, Tim. Hotel La Catalina is the most amazing hotel. The visitors to the hotel are regulars because when you stay once, you come back as frequently as possible. The food is absolutely delicious and the bartender, Coco, makes the most amazing Mojitos you'll ever have. This past year, Ashleigh married Roberto, on the most beautiful beach called Playa Grande. It was the best wedding I've ever been to (sorry friends and family). Her family and friends (only about 20 total) spent a week together participating in activities all week. One was to visit the non-profit Ashleigh started after moving to the Dominican Republic. Ashleigh was able to raise enough money to rebuildone of the poorest schools in the area. Ashleigh's non-profit, Catalina DR Foundation is dedicated to the educating of underprivileged children and the rebuilding of schools in the Dominican Republic. Feel free to donate as much as frequently as possible!

Updated on September 18, 2020 @ 05:30PM Photo: Brent Lewis/Getty Images Every year, right when we're ready to kick off a month of Halloween and PSL everything, we're bombarded with another season of the un-festive sort: Flu season. And this year, per the CDC, getting your vaccine "is more important than ever," not only to protect yourself, your family, and your community — but to help reduce the burden on our healthcare system and save medical resources for the care of COVID-19 patients. (A record-breaking 900,000 Americans were hospitalized and more than 80,000 died from the flu in 2017, according to a 2018 report by the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases.) "Even if you have never had the flu shot, I recommend getting it this year. The flu vaccine can protect you against the flu. To date, we do not have a vaccine to protect you against COVID-19 — and we know that co-infection is possible. Getting both viruses at the same time could be devastating to your health, so I am encouraging all patients to get the flu vaccine this year," says Carmen Teague, M.D., Specialty Medical Director of Internal Medicine at Atrium Health. How to Tell If You Have a Cold or the Flu Still need some convincing (or just want to clear up some common flu shot myths)? We've got you covered. Here's everything you need to know about this year's flu shot, including what's changed, who should get vaccinated, flu shot side effects, and where to go to get your flu shot. So, How Does a Flu Shot Work? If you've always wondered how the flu shot works, here's the gist: Depending on the type of vaccine you receive, it will contain either "dead" strains of the flu virus, or weakened "live" viruses. "Injectable flu vaccines are made from either inactivated or partial flu virus and are meant to activate your immune system so that you develop antibodies against the flu virus," explains Nate Favini, M.D., a doctor and the medical lead at Forward, a preventive primary care service. In other words, it triggers your body's natural defense mechanism to be able to fight the actual flu when the time comes. When Is Flu Season? The CDC notes that flu season's timing varies from year to year — it can peak from as early as October to as late as May — and is therefore rather unpredictable. Of course, add a pandemic into the mix and there are even more unknowns than usual. "Typically though, flu season starts in late November and tends to have small spikes after holiday travel at the end of November and the end of December," Dr. Teague says. Last year, the largest spike occurred in late February, she adds. "The timing is expected to be the same as previous years," says Jake Deutsch, M.D. founder of Cure Urgent Care, adding that "we're already seeing positive tests for the flu." There is no confirmed flu activity as of yet according to the CDC, but the organization will release weekly forecasts to help reduce the spread. When Is the Best Time to Get a Flu Shot? Like last year, the CDC still recommends that everyone get their flu shot by the end of October. Why not earlier? "February is the most common month for flu outbreaks, and immunity to the flu wanes about 10 percent each month following vaccination," explains David Cutler, M.D., a family medicine physician at Providence Saint John's Health Center. In other words, if you get your shot in August, it could leave you with reduced protection later in the flu season. While there's no such thing as getting vaccinated 'too late' — as long as flu viruses are circulating, vaccination should continue, even in January or later — docs caution against putting it off this year. "The demand will be greater this year due to the pandemic and the possible lack of availability later on in the season," Dr. Deutsch says. "Because it takes several weeks for immunity to set in, waiting longer isn't a good idea." TL;DR: Now that we've hit September and flu shots are widely available, docs say you should go ahead and get your flu shot as soon as you can. Who Needs the Flu Vaccine? The short answer: everyone who is six months or older. There are only a few rare exceptions, according to the CDC, including if you have an allergy to the flu vaccine or any ingredients included in it. Luckily, this is extremely rare, Dr. Favini says, "with only about one in 1 million people having a severe allergic reaction after receiving a vaccine." If you are pregnant or have a compromised immune system, it doesn't mean the flu shot is off the table, but it does mean you'll want to make sure you're sticking to a "killed" vaccine — found in the traditional flu shot. You'll also want to chat with your doctor before getting the vaccine if you have ever had Guillain-Barré Syndrome, a rare but serious autoimmune disorder. What About the Nasal Spray Flu Vaccine? In addition to the traditional flu shot, there's another option available for healthy, non-pregnant people who are 2 to 49 years old: The nasal spray flu vaccine, which is administered just like an allergy nasal spray. Although it's been around for a few years, the CDC gave its seal of approval last year as an effective alternative to the traditional flu shot for the needle averse. One important note: there's evidence that it's not as effective as the standard vaccine, says Dr. Teague. "I prefer the injection because [the nasal spray] may not actually be as absorbed as we hope — and could diminish the point of getting the vaccine," seconds Dr. Deutsch. Also, since it's a "live" rather than a "killed" vaccine, it should also be avoided by anyone who is severely ill, has an immune disorder, or who cares for someone who is severely immunocompromised. You should also take precautions if you have asthma or any other underlying health condition, such as lung, kidney, or heart disease. The CDC notes that, while age and health status are a factor in deciding the type of vaccine an individual should get, the important thing is simply getting one in the first place. Do I Really Need to Get a Flu Shot Every Year? The reason you need a flu shot every year is because the flu virus morphs and changes every year (and the vaccine is updated accordingly). Plus, there's some evidence that getting a flu shot every year may have a cumulative effect. In one 2017 study, researchers found that the flu shot's effectiveness may be influenced by vaccines from prior seasons. And in a 2018 study published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, researchers found that people 65 and older — one of the most vulnerable populations to the effects of influenza — who had repeat vaccines were twice as able to fight the most severe complications related to the flu, including death. One more time for the people in the back: "It's absolutely more important to get the flu shot this year — everything has changed this year because of COVID," Dr. Deutsch says. Should I Still Get the Flu Shot If I'm Sick? You've probably heard that if you're feeling less than 100 you should skip the flu shot, but this is one major flu shot myth docs want to de-bunk. "If you have a mild cold or are a little under the weather, you can still get the shot," Dr. Favini says. The exception: If you also have a fever. "The concern is that your immune response to the vaccine might not be as strong as needed to boost your immunity, because you're already fighting another infection," he says. "In those cases, it's best to wait until you're feeling better before getting the shot." Are There Flu Shot Side Effects? It's true: You might experience some side effects as a result of getting the flu shot, which can include soreness, redness, and/or swelling in the area where the shot was administered, headache, fever, nausea, and muscle aches. While these symptoms will resolve on their own, the CDC notes that you should seek emergency care if you begin to experience any of the following: a high fever, difficulty breathing, wheezing, swelling around the eyes or lips, hives, paleness, weakness, dizziness and/or a rapid heartbeat. Overall, flu shot side effects are generally mild — and no, it's not possible for the shot to 'give you the flu.' "It's common to experience mild aches, fever, or headache after getting the shot, but that's considerably better than getting the actual flu," Dr. Favini emphasizes. How Effective Is the Flu Shot Anyway? Getting the flu shot can reduce your risk of getting the flu by 30 to 60 percent, depending on the strains that are circulating during a season. In one 2018 study, researchers discovered that from 2012 to 2015, adults who got the flu shot saw a 37 percent reduced risk of being admitted to the hospital with the flu. It's true that a person's age and health can impact the overall effectiveness of the vaccine — and it isn't a sure-fire guarantee you won't get the flu. That's because it's tough to create a vaccine well-matched to the exact strains of the virus that will circulate during a specific flu season. But just because the flu vaccine isn't 100 percent effective doesn't mean you should skip it — it's simply the best way to protect yourself and everyone around you. "Getting the flu shot is the smart thing to do for your own health — many people don't realize that even healthy, young adults can get sick to the point of hospitalization or even death," Dr. Favini says. "Beyond that, getting vaccinated contributes to what's called 'herd immunity' — the more people that get vaccinated, the less likely a severe epidemic becomes." He added: "This helps protect more vulnerable people like young babies who can't get the flu shot and seniors who are more likely to become very ill with the flu. Your shot could save the life of someone you know." So, Where Can I Get a Flu Shot? "The flu vaccine for the winter is available now at your primary care physician's office, local pharmacies, and perhaps through your work or other community vaccine programs," Dr. Cutler says. Check out the CDC's flu vaccine finder where all you have to do is type in your zip code for a list of places that offer the flu shot in your area. Can You Catch Monkeypox at Hair and Nail Salons?

Most, if not all, of us at some time in our lives experience personal difficulties. It is quite normal to struggle and to need help. Sometimes we can talk things through with a friend, family member or partner. Sometimes we need a little more. Working with a therapist can help you get to a place of greater understanding and move forward. Hello and welcome to my site. I am Rebecca Taylor, a qualified accredited UKCP Psychotherapist working in West Yorkshire. I work with individuals, couples and young people. My specialist interest is working with people with a diagnosis or traits of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), in particular Asperger's Syndrome (AS). I also work with family members affected by ASD. I would like to invite you to explore my site and if you have any questions or queries or you want to progress further, please telephone me or contact me here. If you scroll down to the bottom of this home page you will find a short video I have filmed. I wanted to try and give you a better sense of who I am as a therapist. I hope that it will help you decide whether or not you could work with me. I offer a free initial telephone conversation, or if you want you could come over and have a free informal meeting for 30 minutes or so. I could make you a drink and you could begin to get a sense of whether or not you could work with me. If it would make you feel a little easier you could bring someone with you for our first meeting as the aim is for us to meet and see if the sort of therapy that I offer may be helpful to you. Please note if you are making an enquiry to me via e-mail I would advise that you keep the enquiry information to a minimum – to best protect sensitive information. We can discuss detail when we speak on the phone. Autism Spectrum Disorder (eg Aspergers). I provide psychotherapy in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment. I am DBS checked and I am registered with the United Kingdom Council of Psychotherapists (UKCP). I have worked therapeutically for nearly 20 years with individuals, couples and young people in a variety of settings: primary and secondary clinical services within the NHS, private sector organisations, government departments, voluntary sector services and Employee Assisted Programmes (EAP). In addition to my private practice I have enjoyed the demands and challenges of being Service Manager and later Clinical Director of psychotherapy and counselling services within West Yorkshire. I have employed many therapists and counsellors over the years and been clinically responsible for not only the services I managed but thousands of primary and secondary care clients. Initial telephone conversation and informal meeting. For most people, making contact for the first time can be difficult which is why I suggest an initial telephone call. It is my way of helping to break the ice and it's free! Alternatively, you could come over for 30 minutes or so for a free informal meeting. I could make you a drink and you can get a sense of how it would be to work with me. If it would make it easier you could bring someone with you as the aim is for you to make that first step. After our telephone conversation or informal meeting and if we both agree to proceed, then I will invite you come over for an assessment. The assessment lasts for about an hour and a half, which I offer at a reduced rate, as I believe it is really important and helps to underpin our work together. The assessment offers us a space to look at you and your life. You may feel overwhelmed and confused right now and not able to make sense of things but try not to worry as it is my job to identify your presenting issues and begin to understand you better. At the end of your assessment I will have gathered information about what brings you to therapy and understand better who you are and what you want and need. We will talk about how my way of working can help you and we can discuss time frames. This is very much a collaborative partnership, we work together using both of our qualities and skills to get you to where you want to be. I will also explain my contract and how I record and store your information. I collect and keep some personal information from my clients. The purpose of this is to record who I am seeing and ensure that I am practicing effectively and able to communicate with clients as necessary for our work. I keep: our contract, brief notes of our sessions, your contact details (name, address, telephone number (s), email addresses, relevant emails and texts as recommended by professional bodies and insurers. Paper documents are kept in a locked filing cabinet. The therapy contract signed at the beginning of our work is stored separately to session notes. Email addresses and mobile numbers are kept on password protected devices only. When information is no longer required it is deleted or shredded. Paper records are kept for 7 years after the therapy has ended in accordance with professional and insurance guidelines. There are limits to the protection of private information where disclosure is legally mandated and/or concerns child protection and significant risk of harm. You are entitled to have access to the personal data that I hold about you via a subject access request . I will respond to your request within one calendar month . In the unlikely event of a personal data breach I will inform you as soon as possible, record it and report it within 72 hours to the relevant supervisory authority.

Israel has Locked up JABARA village since 2002 - Even the most basic health care is a luxury UNICEF: Delivering health services to isolated West Bank: "JBARA, Occupied Palestinian Territory, 26 May 2009 Nestled in a small crook of land, surrounded by the barrier between the West Bank and Israel, sits the community of Jbara, home to nearly 300 people. Today there is a rush of activity in one of the larger houses. Posters are pinned on clotheslines and a health education session is under way in the garden. For the first time since the barrier enclosed this community in 2002, UNICEF has been able to arrange a long-awaited visit from health workers. It builds upon work with the Ministry of Health to bring vaccinations and rudimentary care to marginalized and enclosed communities in the West Bank. Through these visits, UNICEF aims to broaden the range of basic but life-saving child care practices and help mothers living in isolated enclaves. The barrier not only separates Jbara from other villages and basic services, such as schools and health centres, but has also separated the people of nearby Tulkarem from their farmlands in Jbara. Permits are required to enter and leave Jbara, and crossing through the military gates is often a difficult and time-consuming process. Conflict, as well as access and movement restrictions, have led to losses of jobs and rising poverty. By 2008, half of Palestinian households were living in poverty, according to the UN Development Programme. "The challenge remains reaching isolated communities in restricted areas," said UNICEF Health and Nutrition Officer Samson Agbo. "Families have gotten much poorer very quickly, and children are the most susceptible to the impact of household poverty. A sombre feeling Earlier in the day, a team from the Ministry of Health had given out water purification tablets and talked about the importance of proper hygiene and sanitation. Lack of sanitation facilities and a functioning sewage system is a growing concern. "The community... must discharge the untreated sewage in to the fields," says local resident Na'da Awad. "This has increased the risk of disease and infections, as well as allergies and skin lesions." As the small children play together in the garden, there is a sombre feeling. "There are no recreation facilities available to the children here," says one mother. "There is not much around to inspire them to play." Across the West Bank and Gaza, UNICEF is providing basic vaccines and immunization-related supplies, as well as vitamin A, vitamin D and iron supplements, as well as increasing knowledge on basic nutrition practices and strengthening health workers' capacity for infant and child care. With these interventions, UNICEF aims to raise the number of children benefiting from early childhood development, with a special emphasis on children in hard-to-reach areas such as the Jbara community.

'Abbas is trying his best' 28 May 09 'Abbas is trying his best' 28 May 09: Abbas cannot be trusted with Palestinian interests, Hamas says Source: PIC [ 29/05/2009 - 06:55 PM ] GAZA, (PIC)-- Hamas said on Friday that nothing new has emanated from the meeting between former PA Chief Mahmoud Abbas and US President Barak Obama and that the meeting was disappointing for the Palestinian people. "The meeting between Abu Mazen and Obama did not produce anything new, it was disappointing, especially that Abu Mazen expressed readiness to implement the road-map, which means that the PA is fully committed to security coordination with the Zionist enemy which targets the rooting out of resistance and the liquidation of Hamas and reinforces the internal Palestinian rift, as the road map was rejected by all Palestinian factions except for Abu Mazen's commitment to it," said Fawzi Barhoum, the Hamas spokesman in the Gaza Strip. Barhoum further said that Obama's wishes are not enough, especially in the light of the continued Zionist escalations in terms of assassinations, arrests, land confiscation and siege. He stressed that Palestinian people do not attach much hope to such meetings which never produced any real pressure on the Zionist enemy to end the siege, end the building of settlements or stop the aggression. "The result of Abu Mazen's security commitments to the occupation, including those stipulated by the road map is a police authority that works to protect the occupation at the expense of the Palestinian citizen and his rights," Barhoum explained. He finally said that Abbas is guilty of continuing the policy of political detention, hampering the national reconciliation talks, forming illegitimate governments in Ramallah which means he has nothing to contribute towards a successful outcome of the reconciliation talks and cannot be trusted with the Palestinian interests as long as he is fully tied to American and Zionist dictates.

They were joined by international and Israelis activists. Demonstrators marched through the village towards the wall waving Palestinian flags, to protest the theft and destruction of around 60 percent of the village lands. A delegation from the general union of women committees participated in the demonstration. They were joined by a member of the Palestinian Parliament Qais Abu Laila, and the minister of social affairs Majida Al-Masri. As the protestors arrived at the wall, they were greeted by a barrage of sound bombs, tear gas and rubber-coated bullets from the Israeli soldiers. The protestors demanded the soldiers to stop this strategy since the demonstration, involving internationals, was peaceful and nonviolent. The soldiers, however, continued to fire upon the protestors, injuring three Palestinians: the minister of social affairs Majeda el Masri, AP camera man Abed Khabesa and local farmer Rani Burnat. In response, Palestinian demonstrators threw balloons filled with animal dung to counter the Israeli military's use of poisonous gas.

Five founders of a Muslim charity have been sentenced to lengthy prison terms in a controversial case that began nearly ten years ago. The Holy Land Foundation, based in a Dallas suburb, was the biggest Muslim charity in the United States before the Bush administration shut it down in 2001. Its five founders were convicted last November on charges of funneling money to the Palestinian group Hamas. The U.S. government declared Hamas a terrorist organization in 1995. It was the second trial against the Holy Land foundations's five leaders after the first ended in a mistrial. The government's case relied on Israeli intelligence as well as disputed documents and electronic surveillance gathered by the FBI over a span of fifteen years. Defendants Ghassan Elashi and Shukri Abu Baker each received 65-year prison sentences. At his sentencing hearing, Elashi said: "Nothing was more rewarding than…turning the charitable contributions of American Muslims into life assistance for the Palestinians. We gave the essentials of life: oil, rice, flour. The [Israeli] occupation was providing them with death and destruction." Another defendant, Mohammad El-Mezain, was sentenced to fifteen years in prison. He was found guilty of supporting Hamas but acquitted on thirty-one other charges. Volunteer fundraiser Mufid Abdulqader was sentenced to twenty years in prison. And the fifth defendant, Abdulrahman Odeh, was sentenced to fifteen years in prison.

Inside Story - Israeli settlements - 25 May 09 Inside Story - Israeli settlements - 25 May 09: Comment: Al Jazeera calls it a trend, but the facts show otherwise. Yes, there are a few seeking to buy homes in settlements, yet they have been trying without success. It's not only because Israeli settlers refuse to sell to Palestinians, but because some of the settlements are owned by the JNF which prohibits their selling to Palestinians [and in other cases the legal obstacles are endless]. Besides, the numbers, even of those unsuccessfuly seeking to buy, is so low compared to the number of units in the settlements themselves that you can't even consider it. That's why I reject the sensationalism of this so called trend and call it nothing but hogwash. Anyways, here's the caption of the video "Inside story discusses the growing trend of Arabs buying homes in Israeli settlements."

The protest marked the first year of Ni'lin's ongoing struggle against the Israeli wall and settlements being built on land that belongs to the village. As soon as the crowd reached the lands where the army is building the wall, troops attacked them with batons, rubber-coated-steal bullets and tear gas. Eight protestors were injured and dozens were treated for the effects of gas inhalation. Earlier the same day Israeli soldiers had invaded the village and had taken positions on roof tops of famers' homes to try to prevent the protest from leaving the village to the location of the wall.

The Committee, based in Gaza, reported Friday that the convoy, carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, would dock at Bour Sa'id Port in Egypt on Friday, and then would drive towards the Rafah border terminal. It is expected to reach the terminal on Saturday evening or Sunday morning. The committee stated that it conducted all preparations and coordinated with all related authorities to ensure that the convoy makes it into Gaza. Hamdi Shaath, head of the Committee, issued a press release on Friday stating that visiting activists and leaders would be touring Gaza to observe the destruction caused by the Israeli offensive against the Gaza Strip, and the negative impacts of the Israeli siege on the residents. Shaath added that the visiting delegates would also tour agricultural lands uprooted and shelled by the army, and would also visit medical facilities as the siege emptied Gaza hospitals and medical centers from basic supplies and equipment. They would also visit some institutions that deal with rehabilitation of physically challenged residents and other rehabilitation and social centers. Shaath said the wheelchairs and medical supplies are urgently needed in the Gaza Strip. This is a Phone interview with Gerry MacLochlainn (sinnfein) regarding the difficulties faced by the convoy.

Jerusalem day in the old city of Jerusalem: 2008 To understand what's going on in this video, please read the following comments first. "2nd of june 2008 get your own idea..." Published Commentary on this Video: "The video at the YouTube link given above was filmed by an acquaintance of mine on June 2-nd, 2008, the anniversary of `1967 `reunification of Jerusalem` (read: occupation of East Jerusalem), which is officially celebrated by the State of Israel. The video shows how the right-wingers celebrate this anniversary in the narrow streets of the Old City, most of whose inhabitants are Palestinian. Among the slogans which they are chanting (in presence of police) you can hear `Mavet La`Aravim` which means `Death to Arabs`. For readers who do not know: people of this ilk are heavily subsidized by the State of Israel and are one of the tools of the ethnic cleansing policy in the West Bank." The Editor (VB) **"In scenes reminiscent of what a Russian or Romanian pogrom must have been like, Israeli demonstrators in the Old City of Jerusalem marched through, chanting 'Death to the Arabs' and 'Arabs Out'. The video at YouTube was filmed on June 2nd, 2008, the anniversary of the 1967 'reunification' of Jerusalem` [read: occupation of East Jerusalem]. It is to celebrate "Jerusalem Day". And what better way to celebrate than to hold a demonstration in the Arab quarter of Jerusalem (or what is left of it). The video shows how right-wing religious Zionists, such as the ones at Yeshiva Mercaz Harav, which was recently bombed in retaliation for their role in the settlement of the West Bank, celebrate this anniversary in the narrow streets of the Old City. Among the slogans they are chanting, in the presence of police who look on without a care in the world, is `Mavet La`Aravim` which means `Death to Arabs`. For readers who do not know, people of this ilk are heavily subsidized by the State of Israel and are one of the tools of the ethnic cleansing policy in the West Bank. This is sourced from Occupation Magazine. Dorothy Naor, an Israeli anti-Zionist, writes that: 'The video won't mean much to you if you are unfamiliar with the Old City in Jerusalem and if you don't understand Hebrew. In both cases you will miss what the action is all about. So, let me explain. What you will see in the video is a crowd of gung-ho happy young religious idealists marching through the Arab quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. Let me repeat, the Arab quarter. From time to time you also see Israeli police and barricades, neither of which stop the young men from progressing in their march and chanting. And what are they chanting at the beginning? "Arabs go home," meaning, Arabs get out (sound familiar? like 'Juden raus,' i.e., the Nazi's 'Jews out'? These young men indeed fit that much of the Nazi image well, except appear to be less disciplined). Following that, these nice sweet young bullies start chanting loudly in the Arab quarter (let me repeat: in the Arab quarter) of the Old City, "Death to the Arabs." Ah yes. Brave New World. To whom will you belong?' Contrast this with the annual demonstration of Israeli Palestinians on 'Land Day'. Then squads of Border Police, without fail attack the demonstration with gas, dogs and in the past live ammunition. Yet here we see Police nonchalantly fraternising with these racist maniacs. And that should tell you everything you need to know about the Israeli State and why it bears comparisons with the most anti-Semitic regimes of the past. Posted by azvsas" DN! Gaza War Crimes Probe to Hold Public Hearings DN! Gaza War Crimes Probe to Hold Public Hearings: "Gaza War Crimes Probe to Hold Public Hearings A United Nations commission says its facing obstacles from the Israeli government ahead of its probe of alleged war crimes during Israels three-week assault on Gaza earlier this year. The commission is probing allegations of war crimes committed by both Israeli forces and Hamas fighters. But inquiry head Richard Goldstone says his team will likely have to enter Gaza through Egypt, because Israel has refused to cooperate. Richard Goldstone: It would have been our wish to start there, to visit southern Israel, Sderot, to go into Gaza through the front door to go to the West Bank, which is also included in our mission.

Aftermath of Latest Israeli airstrikes in Gaza Aftermath of Israeli airstrikes in Gaza: "Residents in Gaza City surveyed the damage caused by a series of overnight airstrikes by Israeli fighter jets" Several injuries reported in a series of Israeli air strikes in Gaza Date: Wednesday May 20, 2009 09:02 Palestinian medical sources in the Gaza Strip reported that several residents were wounded in a series of Israeli air strikes carried out by the Israeli Air Force after midnight targeting several neighborhoods in Gaza city, Jabalia and Rafah. The Palestine News and Information Agency (WAFA) reported that F-16 fighter-jets shelled an area near the cars market, at the Salah Ed Deen Street, east of Gaza's Al Zeitoun neighborhood. Two residents were wounded and were moved to a local hospital. The air force also shelled a blacksmith workshop in Al Zeitoun neighborhood, completely leveling it and causing damage to a number of nearby homes. Shortly afterwards, the air force shelled another blacksmith shop on Yaffa street, north east of Gaza City; one resident was wounded and several homes and structures were damaged. Furthermore, the Israeli Air Force shelled a number of areas in the town of Jabalia, in the northern part of the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, the Israeli Navy opened automatic fire and fired several shells at areas across the Gaza shore. The air force also shelled a chicken farm in Rafah completely damaging it. On Tuesday night, the air force shelled the "Tunnels Area" in Rafah, wounding one woman and one child. Both were moved to Abu Yousef Al Najjar Hospital. The shelling came shortly after the Air Force shelled an area close to Al Barazil neighborhood, south of Rafah. It is worth mentioning that the Israeli Navy fired several shells at areas across the coasts of Gaza and Khan Younis. Israeli air force shells Gaza Wed, 20 May 2009 07:03:08 Palestinian sources in the Gaza Strip reported on Tuesday evening that Israeli war jets shelled an area in Rafah, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip. No injuries were reported. The sources said that the air force fired at least one missile at the border area, adjacent to Al Barazil neighborhood, south of Rafah. The shelling did not cause damage or injuries, but several residents, especially children, suffered anxiety attacks due to the night shelling. Several residents left their home for a while fearing repeated strikes. The missile fired by the Israeli Air force did not explode, but the sounds of the war jets flying not high above the civilian areas caused panic among the residents.

Participants and committee members are known for their strict adherence to non-violent tactics in demonstrations. While the protesters maintained their usual tactics on 1 May 2009, Israeli forces escalated their attempt to suppress the non-violent resistance by arresting several demonstrators. A new military commander, stationed in the area two months prior, had announced his intentions to end the resistance and implemented tactics such as night invasions of organizers homes, destruction of property and threats. During the demonstration on 1 May 2009, the Israeli army arrested three members of the Al-Masara Committee against the Wall and Settlements; Hasan Bergia, Mohammad Bergia and Mahmoud Sawahre. Additionally, Israeli forces arrested Mustafa Fuara; a resident of Al-Masara, Azmi Ash-Shyukhi; a resident of Hebron, Haggai Matar; an Israeli solidarity activist and Tom Stocker, a British national volunteering with the Holy Land Trust. The army alleged that the arrested demonstrators were involved in rioting, interfering with police work, assault of soldiers and policemen, and the destruction of military property. The Israeli activist Matar and British volunteer Stocker, were released the same day on 1,500 NIS bail with conditions of not entering the West Bank for two weeks. Azmi Ash-Shyukhi; Mustafa Fuara; and Mahmoud Sawahre, were released on bail (50,000 NIS all together) after being held in military prison for almost two weeks on 13 May 2009.

UniverseView: What difference does it make? Answer: More than we'll ever know. Article: First draft. Author: Bruce Camber Invitation to critique: Your comments and insights are welcomed. NAVIGATION: Links often open a new tab/window within this site, bblu.org, or Wikipedia or ArXiv. So, you know who you are, this one's for you! Part I: Space-time. The Goal: Put space and time in a box. Part II: Finite-Infinite. The Goal: Keep the finite in the box but take the infinite out of it. Part III: Old Science – New Science. The Goal: Rediscover paths ignored and/or less traveled. So, the big goal is to grasp this highly-integrated view of the universe without the jargon of the last homepage (linked here). Time. The first key step to adopt an integrated UniverseView is to begin to adopt another sense of time. If your sense of the past-present-future begins to evaporate before your eyes, we will have been successful. Now, you know how old you are by years, how about in seconds? Even more silly, how many seconds old is the earth (4.54 billion years, ±50 million years)? And, then how many seconds old is the universe (13.8 billion years, ±0.021 billion years)? I think when you have those three numbers, you begin to open a gate that goes to a path to your first fully-integrated UniverseView. Seconds. Of course, there are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day. So every day is equivalent to 86,400 seconds. Given the variables used to measure the days in a year (our solar year), people have used either 365 days, five hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds or 365.2425 days. In our progression, we use 331,556,952 seconds. Others have calculated 331,556,926 seconds. So, using 31,556,952 seconds in a year and 31,556,952,000 seconds in a millennium (see Notations 178 and 179), and 31,556,952,000,000 seconds in a million years (see Notations 188-189) and 31,556,952,000,000,000 in a billion years, it is rather straightforward now to answer the first three questions. First, we just put ourselves, this world and the universe within the same time scale. That's an important new orientation for most of us. Second, we just gave the universe a beginning point, just like the world and ourselves. That's huge. And, third, we just gave it an endpoint, today, the "Right Now," the ever-expanding moment that we all share. The universe, the world, and we are all getting older by the second. Past-Present-Future. So, what is the past, the present and the future? This conceptual frame of reference is a convenience we create. It is kind of like comfort food, yet this sense of time introduces two scales that never truly exist. The present is always becoming the future and the future is never quite here. The past is rather peculiar. In this model it is an imprint within the notation and on the universe. We will come back to this notion of an imprint later, but say goodbye to past-present-and-future. Please, if just for this posting, attempt to see the universe with a definite starting time as the beginning point, and the current time as the ever-changing endpoint. Time didn't always exist; it only exists because the universe, the sun-and-earth, and you exist and the only time is Now. Space. Most of us have some inkling that space and time are related, hooked-at-the-hip, but few have a deep sense of how that is so. We'll explore it. But, first, try to remember your very best moments in grade school when you finally got it; you learned to multiply by 2. We are going right back to those days to pick up where you left off. We all got a little too self-assured, that we understood all that we needed to know about multiplying by 2. Unfortunately, there is an adult version and most of us were never introduced to it. When we learned the story of the wheat-and-chessboard story — one grain of wheat on the first square, two on the second, four on the third, eight on the fourth and so on, the result was bewildering. By that 64th square on the chessboard, just multiplying by 2 for each new square, there are 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 or 18.446 quintillion grains of wheat (give or take a few). That is called the power of 2, or 2-to-the 64th which in mathematics is displayed as 264 power. We know that this expansion is very simple — we are just multiplying by 2 just like every cell in life. It is all natural and can be found in many other processes within life. Everything is necessarily-related because it's derivative. It is expanding humongously larger than we are accustomed to be thinking. And, it would appear to go on forever, that is, be open-ended and entirely dynamic. To find the best answer (that we have today), we have to learn about Max Planck. When we began our work on this project in December 2011, we knew very little about him: (1) he had something to do with physics and (2) he won a Nobel prize. We knew little more than that. His most formative work for our discussions was done in 1899. Planck Length and Planck Time. It took about a year to begin to understand Planck Length and Planck Time. One of our teachers was MIT's Frank Wilczek with his many helpful books and articles. When we multiply both numbers by 2, over and over again, it takes 67 doublings before we are in the range of particle physics such as the proton and fermion. It will take another 20 doublings of Planck time before time can even be measured. At one second, there have already been just over 143 doublings. In one year there will be just over 168 doublings and the universe will have expanded 9.460 trillion kilometers (9,460,536,207,068.016 kilometers, called a light year) which is getting "very close" to the gravitational reach of our Solar System. With just over 200 doublings of the base Planck units, we are at the Age of the Universe and the Observable Universe. We have the entire universe, from its beginning to the current time, all contained within just over 200 doublings, or notations, or groups, sets, clusters, or domains. Let there be Light. Something else quite naturally and logically wonderful is happening with each doubling. In every notation, every doubling, space when divided by time approximates the speed of light (this simple equation is right out of Max Planck's 1899 work). Space÷Time=c . Yes, light, space and time are inextricably woven such that every doubling approximates the speed of light (see line 10 within this horizontally-scrolled chart). Though the logic goes right back inside the very definition of Planck Time and Planck Length, it appears that this simple equation hasn't been verbalized, articulated and studied at any point within our academic/intellectual history. So what? Those familiar with Stephen Hawking and the big bang theory might immediately see that there is no big bang in this model. Everything, everywhere, for all time, has progressed by doublings from the smallest units possible, and simply have doubled, over and over and over again. 1. Big Bang Fizzle. Quieting that big bang is no small feat. To begin to minimize its de facto nihilism could be huge. In its place could be an ordering system that literally touches everything, everywhere, throughout all time throughout the entire universe. If you'd like to read more about it, there are these two postings, Quiet Expansion and Homogeneity and Isotropy. 2. The Small-scale Universe Grid or Matrix. Those doublings where the numbers fall below the possible measurements of today's instrumentation offer a special intellectual challenge. Though apparently not beyond the limits for our minds, logic and mathematics, this range of doublings from the Planck base units to those things that are measurable requires continued analysis and study. Within this scale, we predict there are major discoveries awaiting. Here are a few predictions: (1) The mind and sleep will find a place on the grid! (2) Mathematics and philosophy will have a place within this grid. (3) An entirely new science, intuited by many, will finally give the smallest units of energy (called quantum fluctuations) a place on this grid or matrix. And, that's a very special question. When you believe you have space and time put into a box of just over 200 notations, please continue forward so we explore the finite-infinite in our next session. Part II: Finite-and-Infinite: What can we know about both? The finite in light of the infinite. The finite is everything that is contained within the 200+ notations or doublings of the smallest, most-meaningful numbers about space and time. Those numbers are called the Planck base units which include Planck Length, Planck Time, Planck Mass, and Planck Charge. We have developed a large, horizontally-scrolled chart, 34-pages all side-by-side, that shows the progression of each doubling within just over 200+ columns. We give these 60+ doublings our unmitigated respect. Yes, these doublings are beyond the measuring abilities of our instrumentation but obviously within the logic of our minds, the simple mathematics of that logic, and within the geometries of our mathematics and imaginations. That is reality enough for us to explore possibilities. The historic research of atoms, particles and hypothetical particles picks up at notation 67. The Planck base units start at notation 1. Each notation builds on the prior notation. It would logically seem that all notations are active and current and each is defined by this moment in time. That is the finite. It is in the box. So what is infinite? The infinite. Though clearly an important concept in mathematics and physics, it is also important for logic, ontology, philosophy and religion (or theology). Here we should all be very gracious and respectful, yet rigorous and as scientific as possible. Perfection. If there is one concept within our intellectual history that seems to pull together the most facets of the infinite, perhaps the word, perfection, works best. I do not believe there is a religion that denies the perfection of their ultimate source of being. Within the sciences and aesthetics, perfection is associated with wholeness, but much more specifically with continuity (numbers and time) and symmetries (shape and space). Continuity gives rise to order; symmetry gives rise to relations.When the two begin interacting with each other, there are dynamics the are defined by harmonies. The infinite could be defined as multi-faceted perfections. At the very first moment of creation to this very moment, it seems that there are many bridges between that which is the finite and that which is the infinite. These bridges are defined by those numbers, equations and shapes that are by definition non-ending and non-repeating such a pi, the sphere, mathematical constants, dimensionless quantities, dimensionless qualities, and dimensionless physical constants. These all are manifest within both the finite and the infinite. There is a kind of perfection within the finite universe, however, it would, by definition, be primarily found within the small scale universe. Here the earliest mathematics and geometries have a potential to manifest a many-sided perfection. The most important concept to take from Part II is that there are definitive bridges between the finite and infinite and that the infinite is primarily defined as that which is continuity creating order, symmetries that create relations, and harmonies that create dynamics. Within this definition the atheists can breathe along with the believers, and aestheticism and ethics have a foundation. The infinite is not the box, not inside the box, yet its perfections reach through the box. The imperfect is ever inherent within our numbers and shapes. The simplest place for the imperfect to manifest is with the seven vertices where five tetrahedrons are nested and an odd space is created between tetrahedrons and between two odd numbers. Let me add for our physicist friends that it seems that this is the beginning of all things quantum, including fluctuations. So it is possible, that imperfections can exist within early notations and this concept will be addressed in the our next overview. After all these years: Science is still a relatively young enterprise. Though it fundamentally transforms the way we live, there are big holes and gaps in our knowledge. Its strengths are also its weakness. We are able to transform raw materials into powerful tools, machines and weapons, yet we still do not have a compelling logic that tells us how to control them. Wars, corruption, and nihilism constantly overpower our simple logic and systems. Something is wrong; something is missing; we do not have the complete picture. What paths did we see-but-ignore along the way that could have made us more whole? Newton-Leibniz debates: Science chose Newton's absolute space and time and rejected Leibniz's relational space and time. The analysis of the history between Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz continues within academic and scholarly circles. There is plenty to read. At the core of this discussion Newton holds that space and time are absolute, the containers of the universe. Leibniz gives us a space-and-time that are derivative of their relations. The world adopted for its commonsense logic Newton's point of view where subjects became subjects and objects became objects. Where are the boundaries? Did space and time exist prior to and independent of the universe or is it created and sustained within the universe? In the Big Board-little universe Project, space-and-time do not exist independently and are derivative of qualities of the infinite which have been summarized as continuity-that-creates-order, symmetry-that-creates-relations, and harmony-that-creates-dynamics. Following line 10 in our "Mathematically-Integrated Chart Of The Known And An Unknown Universe," it becomes clear that there is a variable speed of light that is dependent on the notation within which light is defined along the Planck Length-and-Planck Time expressions. The equation is given by Max Planck within his definition of Planck Time (see the Planck base units, Table 2 within Wikipedia). In this formula, Max Planck shows us that Planck Length divided by Planck Time equals the speed of light. And here we would add, "…within any given notation." The simple formula by Planck is: ( ℓP)/ (ℓT) =c whereby light (c) becomes the foundation of these two Planck base units. We extend that formula throughout every doubling, (notation, domain, etc) since the beginning of space-time such that each doubling of Planck Length and Planck Time notational value, 1 to 202. Using a simple expression, x + x = 2 • x, Einstein and Planck could have multiplied each Planck base unit by 2 over and over again to mimic a natural inflation and expanding univers). Their results would have been the same numbers within the rows 2, 3, 4, and 5 of the chart and within the same number of columns. If they did, our view of the universe today would be substantially different. E=mc2 released the power of mass. c= ( ℓP)/ (ℓT) integrates the universe as a whole. Background. The Planck base units were formulated in 1899 and were not much more than a curiosity throughout the lifetime of Max Planck; he died in October 1947. Throughout the lifetime of Einstein and Planck, there was an on-going discussion about the best cosmological model in light of their work on unified field theories within physics. By 1975, the standard model of particle physics and the big bang theory of Hawking and Ellis were each on the ascendancy. In 1957 a high school teacher by the name of Kees Boeke did a base-10 scale of the universe. Over the years it became quite popular. In December 2011 we did our base-2 scale of the universe using just the Planck Length. We considered it a novelty, a way to impose structure on a universe that seemed so vast as to be beyond comprehension. In 2014 when we added Planck Time to the chart, it began to challenge out simple knowledge of the big bang. As we began an earnest study of the Planck base units and the Hawking-Guth models of the big bang and inflation, more questions opened up. It seemed that all their work could be readily absorbed within our simple model without the need of their big bang. This view of the universe is simple and logical. The model is entirely predictive, it gives space-and-time a necessary role within the universe, and it reopens a more vibrant sense of the finite-infinite relation. That's a rather new starting point.
Petra Kvitova Captures Wimbledon: Tops the Women's Tennis Power Ranking 94107http%3A%2F%2Fsportsthenandnow.com%2F2011%2F07%2F08%2Fpetra-kvitova-captures-wimbledon-tops-the-womens-tennis-power-ranking%2FPetra+Kvitova+Captures+Wimbledon%3A+Tops+the+Women%27s+Tennis+Power+Ranking2011-07-08+13%3A40%3A45JA+Allenhttp%3A%2F%2Fsportsthenandnow.com%2F%3Fp%3D9410 Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic Wins Wimbledon Who has not heard the news? A whole new era is afoot in women's tennis. Considering the players who captured headlines and the attention of tennis pundits during the second week of the 2011 Wimbledon Championships – you quickly surmised that the usual suspects were missing in action. Gone was defending champion Serena Williams who had held the Rosewater Dish aloft four times, hoping that 2011 would bring her five. Another Wimbledon win would tie Serena with her older sister Venus Williams who had won the All England Club Championship five times. Venus was also no longer in the house. Absent, too, were French Open champion Li Na, who lost in the second round in a fierce contest as well as the No. 1 seed Caroline Wozniacki who failed again to make the Wimbledon quarterfinals. No. 2 ranked Kim Clijsters never checked in for Championships, still sidelined with an ankle injury. That left the field wide open for a newly invigorated Maria Sharapova, the wide-eyed power game of German Sabine Lisicki, the finely-honed game of Victoria Azarkena and the excellent grass-court assault of Petra Kvitova. It was a worthy fortnight – an ultimate contrast in competence and mental fortitude. The "Power Rankings" are compiled and presented by JA Allen, Marianne Bevis and Feng Rong using . We present the periodic rankings at least four times a year. Following are the latest top ten in our women's tennis power rankings as determined at the conclusion of the 2011 Wimbledon Championships in London.

Indeed, tennis has long been dominated by players from Europe, America and Australia. While Asian players like Kimiko Date-Krumm (former world No. 4) and Paradorn Srichaphan (former world No. 9) were able to win a few titles and make some deep runs in Grand Slams, Asia has failed to produce one single major champion. Until now. Li Na, from Wuhan China, became the first Asian player to reach a Grand Slam final at the 2011 Australian Open (l. to Kim Clijsters). And at the 2011 French Open, she went one-step further and became the first Grand Slam champion from her continent by defeating the defending champion from Italy, Francesca Schiavone. Many claimed this year's French Open the "most open" Grand Slam in recent years, and so it proved to be. None of the top four seeds were able to make it to the semifinals, and the "favorite" for the crown changed after each passing day. Not many predicted the final line-up of Li and Schiavone, even fewer picked the Chinese woman to win the title. But against all odds, Li conquered the Parisian clay and for ever etched her name in the annals of tennis. It is hard enough to make it to a major final, and it is even harder to win it. Many players faltered at the last hurdle (one needs to look no further than the dropping out list below). To make it to two consecutive Grand Slam finals is no small feat. And to win the second final after losing the first one takes courage, dedication and enormous self-belief. To be a champion, you must have the heart of a champion. This installment of our women's power rankings is a tribute to the 2011 French Open Champion, Li Na from China. Her success will for sure serve as an inspiration to the next generation of young players from China and Asia.

There is no clear cut favorite for the title. In fact, there has never been a true favorite heading into Paris since Justine Henin announced her first retirement from tennis in 2008. The champions crowned in Henin's absence have been great surprises––like Ana Ivanovic in 2008, Svetlana Kuznetsova in 2009 and Francesca Schiavone in 2010. The good news for tennis fans is that Kim Clijsters will be returning to action in Paris with her ankle severely taped. The Belgian, however, will not have the needed warm-up time on the clay to give her adequate preparation for a win in Paris. In addition to the top 10 women listed in our power ranking, there are other players who merit our attention as we get ready to crown another French Open champion in 2011. These "also to be watched" players are as follows: Kim Clijsters can never be discounted at any major tournament regardless of her physical injuries. As the winner of the last two slams at the 2011 Australia Open and at the 2010 U.S. Open, Clijsters will be looking to win this French Open crown. This remains a title that has eluded her in the past. Svetlana Kuznetsova won the French Open title in 2009 and has the game to win the title again. After her campaign in Marbella where the Russian made the semifinals, Kuznetsova has not fared well on the clay. She will definitely be looking to improve on the grounds at Stade Roland Garros. Ana Ivanovic has done nothing to suggest that she can win the French Open title again. Still, as a former champion, she has to be considered as a dark horse coming in because she knows exactly what it takes to win it all on clay. Everyone hopes to see the Serbian beauty win in Paris, but the odds are not in her favor this year. Andrea Petkovic is another of the surging German women who has been making a name for herself on the World stage in tennis. Although Petkovic has not done well on the clay, she is a dangerous player with the potential to do well on any surface. Our top 10 rankings are based on the four most recent tournament results and the WTA ranking points awarded. The points are aged with the most recent receiving the most points. Following are the top 10 women poised to win at Roland Garros starting Monday in Paris. JA Allen, Marianne Bevis and Ronger Fengerer write the Power Ranking series.

Since the conclusion of the first major of the year—the Australian Open—there has been 11 tournaments and ten winners on the WTA tour. The only double-titlist? Caroline Wozniacki, the current world No. 1. These Power Rankings focus more on the recent tournaments, aiming to give a measure of form rather than overall ability. In the current case, results from the last two Premier Mandatory events at Miami and Indian Wells will largely decide the rankings. However, that won't do justice to many titlists who aren't featured in the power rankings. Here's a quick list of honorable-mentions: Petra Kvitova won her second title of the year at Paris, also triumphing at Brisbane at the begging of the season. She subsequently rose to a career-high ranking of No. 14. However, she was unable to keep her momentum going, winning only one out of her next five matches. Daniela Hantuchova won the Pattaya City title without dropping a set. Before that, she had lost all four of her matches of the season, including a first-round exit at Melbourne. Since then she has suffered two more first-round defeats. The talented Slovakian is competing at the clay-court event at Charleston this week. Magdalena Rybarikova, another Slovakian currently ranked No. 69 in the world, won the Memphis title back in February, only her second career-title. In her first tour-level match since then, she lost in the first-round at Charleston this week. Lourdes Dominguez Lino is a 30-year-old veteran from Spain, currently ranked No. 46 in the world. She won the clay-court event at Bogota in February, also winning there in 2006. In fact, those are her only two career-titles. She lost in the second-round at Marbella this week. Gisela Dulko won the clay-court event at Acapulco, her first singles title in three years, though she is the current No. 1 in doubles. She did not have much success on the hard-courts, suffering three first-round exits already. Maybe the clay season will do her some good. Jelena Dokic was the surprise winner at Kuala Lumpur, beating Francesca Schiavone in the first-round. It was her first title since 2002. Unfortunately for the former world No. 4, she also lost in the first-round at Charleston this week. Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova successfully defended her title at Monterey this year. She won her first career-title there last year. She reached her career-high ranking of No. 14 after a third-round effort at Melbourne. She is the youngest player in the top 50 and should have a very successful career. Without further ado, here is this week's top ten list.

First and foremost, Serena Williams, defending champion, still injured, decided to withdraw before the tournament Down Under got underway. Sister Venus Williams hobbled briefly into Melbourne, eliminated when she could no longer move. At that point, the elder Williams retired in the third round against up-and-comer German Andrea Petkovic. Svetlana Kuznetsova entertained all with the most thrilling matches of the tournament. The newly svelte Russian held on to defeat Justine Henin in the third round 6-4, 7-6. Subsequently, Henin announced her second permanent retirement from professional tennis. But the best match of the tournament followed in the fourth round as Kuznetsova met the feisty Italian Francesca Schiavone. The two veterans battled for four hours and 44 minutes making it the longest women's match ever. It ended with Schiavone winning 6-4, 1-6, 16-14. The Italian, however, had nothing left when she met the No. 1 seed Caroline Wozniacki in the quarterfinals. The tournament ended with the crowning of Aussie Kim—her first championship in Melbourne. The seasoned professionals, for the most part continued to give way to a new wave of hard-hitting ball-strikers working their way up the ranking.

With the conclusion of the WTA Championships at Doha and the Commonwealth Bank Tournament of Champions at Bali, 2010 women's tennis season is officially over. What a truly eventful season this has been! It began with Justine Henin coming back from her retirement and ended with Elena Dementieva calling it a career. It saw the young Dane Caroline Wozniacki fulfilling her potential and ending the year as the top ranked player in the world. It witnessed the magical run of Fancesca Schiavone at Roland Garros and becoming the first Italian Grand Slam winner in tennis history. And now the WTA tour even has a brand-new logo which was unveiled at the year-end championships at Doha. Not surprisingly, all players from this week's top-ten list either participated in Doha or Bali. For many, this has been a career-best season. It will be interesting to see whether they will be able to maintain their top form after a two-month lay-off. But before then, a vacation with loved ones is fully deserved. 1. Caroline Wozniacki (Last Power Ranking: 1; Year-End WTA Ranking: 1) Last Four Tournaments: YEC [Finalist], Beijing [Winner], Tokyo [Winner], US Open [Semifinalist] Power Ranking Points: 1340 Wozniacki won the China Open helping her secure her top ranking. Caroline Wozniacki entered the year-end championships at Doha as the hottest player on the tour, having won two Premier events at Beijing and Tokyo back-to-back. She became the 20th player to ascend to No.1 on October 11 at Beijing. But her loss to Kim Clijsters in the final at Doha proved that she still has more work to do before being considered the truly best player in the world. Having won a tour-leading six titles and finishing the year as the top-ranked player, the 10th player in history to accomplish that, this has indeed been a career-best year for the young Dane. The only disappointment is that she failed to win a Grand Slam, her best result being a semifinal finish at the US Open. She will for sure be eager to get rid of the title "no. 1 player without a Grand Slam title" in 2011, just ask Jelena Jankovic and Dinara Safina. With many claiming that she only achieved the no. 1 ranking due to the absence of Williams sisters and the Belgian duo, Wozniacki has a lot to prove next season.

Sophie Turner's New Role Is So Different From GoT Story from Entertainment Sophie Turner's Tattoos Do The Talking In Her New Thriller, Josie Madison Medeiros Photo: Gregory Pace/REX/Shutterstock Like many Game of Thrones fans, we're still struggling with the fact that we won't be getting our Westeros fix until 2019. (Seriously, how can anyone be expected to stay cool when the world doesn't yet know what will become of Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen?) Though cruel as the timing may seem, there are some benefits that come with waiting, namely that we will have an opportunity to see our favorite GoT actors explore different roles. Perhaps no other project is quite as intriguing as Sophie Turner's new film, Josie, in which she plays a devious high schooler in a Southern town. The film, which Variety reports is set to kick-off the Mammoth Film Festival on February 8, explores the controversial relationship between Josie (Turner) and a much older man named Hank (Dylan McDermott). While the concept is shocking, it's Turner's overall transformation that has rocked us the most. Instead of Sansa's signature red locks and ornate gowns, Josie sports brassy blonde strands, cut-off shorts, and an edgy sleeve of tattoos. Her British accent, too, is replaced by a Southern drawl tinged with a mischievous undertone. Though the trailer doesn't let on to much of the storyline, it's clear that something unsavory is bound to happen. Hank seems burdened by the horrible things he witnessed as a Death Row corrections worker in the past, and Josie appears too naïve to see just unhinged and dangerous he might be. To further complicate things, Josie juggles another relationship with tough-looking local kid, Marcus (Jack Kilmer). The film, directed by Eric England, is just one of Turner's latest projects. In November of this year, she'll also hit the big screen as Jean Grey in X-Men: Dark Phoenix. If these exciting roles aren't enough to tide you over, maybe these potential GoT spoilers will?

S. Augustine of Hippo was born in 354 at Thagaste in northern Africa. He received a Christian education, but experimented with other philosophies and ways of life before being finally converted and baptised in 387. In 391 he was ordained to the priesthood and in 395 he became coadjutor bishop to Valerius of Hippo, whom he succeeded in 396. Augustine struggled with the heresies of Manichaeism, Donatism, and Pelagianism. His writings - including transcripts of his sermons - have had a marked influence on subsequent thinkers. Above all he was a pastor and a spiritual writer. He died in 430. In this sermon he encourages us to depend only on the Lord when we experience storms in our lives. Now we must regard the sea as a symbol of the present world, and the apostle Peter as a symbol of the one and only Church. For Peter, who ranked first among the apostles and was always the most ready to declare his love for Christ, often acted as spokesman for them all. For instance, when the Lord Jesus Christ asked who people thought he was and the other disciples had cited various opinions, it was Peter who responded to the Lord's further question, "But who do you say I am?" with the affirmation: "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." One replied for all because all were united. If you feel your foot slipping beneath you, if you become a prey to doubt or realize that you are losing control, if, in a word, you begin to sink, say: "Lord, I am drowning, save me!" Only he who for your sake died in your fallen nature can save you from the death inherent in that fallen nature.

A Los Angeles County teacher fired for taking leave for cancer treatment can sue a Catholic school, a federal appeals court ruled Monday. LOS ANGELES — A fifth-grade teacher can now sue a Catholic school for firing her because she sought time off for breast cancer treatment, a federal appeals court ruled Monday in San Francisco. The initial ruling against the teacher, in early 2017, concluded that the school could fire Kristen Biel because she worked as a minister, meaning the Constitution would prevent her from suing under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Teaching the religious part of her curriculum did not make Biel a minister, the court decided 2-1, saying religious organizations do not have free rein to disregard anti-discrimination employment laws when dismissing workers who are not faith leaders. St. James Catholic School in Torrance, a Roman Catholic parish school within the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, hired Biel as a substitute teacher in 2013 and made her the full-time teacher for fifth grade a few months later. The principal gave Biel a positive teaching evaluation in November 2013, praising how she accommodated learning styles and created a safe and caring learning environment. Less than six months later, she told the school she was diagnosed with breast cancer and needed to take time off for surgery and chemotherapy. Saying "it was not fair ... to have two teachers for the children during the school year," the principal told Biel a few weeks later that she would not renew Biel's contract for the next academic year. Biel's "classroom management," the principal added despite the recent evaluation, was "not strict," according to the majority opinion. Biel taught the St. James fifth graders all of their academic subjects, including a standard religion curriculum for about 30 minutes a day, four days a week. Although she participated in prayers twice a day, her student prayer leaders led them. At the school-wide monthly mass she attended, her only duty was to keep her class quiet and orderly, according to court documents.

Q: UIScrollView unresponsive after returning from FlipsideViewController I have a written a simple example where I have a Utility Application project with one UIScrollView on it. When I click the info button to flip the screen and return the UIScrollView now is unresponsive. Not only that but I purposely placed the scroller in the Interface Builder in the upper left corner and then programmatically set it in the center. when I come back from the flipside its shifted up to the top left corner and unresponsive. why? This is my .h file: #import "POCFlipsideViewController.h" @interface POCMainViewController : UIViewController <POCFlipsideViewControllerDelegate, UIScrollViewDelegate> @property (nonatomic,retain) IBOutlet UIScrollView scroller; @end This is my .m file #import "POCMainViewController.h" @interface POCMainViewController () @end @implementation POCMainViewController @synthesize scroller =_scroller; - (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated { [_scroller setContentSize:CGSizeMake(80.0f, 320.0f)]; [_scroller setFrame:CGRectMake(120, 131, 80, 214)]; [super viewDidAppear:animated]; } - (void)viewDidLoad { _scroller.delegate = self; _scroller.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = NO; _scroller.decelerationRate = UIScrollViewDecelerationRateFast; [super viewDidLoad]; // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib. } - (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning { [super didReceiveMemoryWarning]; // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated. } #pragma mark - Flipside View - (void)flipsideViewControllerDidFinish:(POCFlipsideViewController )controller { [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil]; } - (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender { if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:@"showAlternate"]) { [[segue destinationViewController] setDelegate:self]; } } @end The rest is boiler plate straight from Xcode. A: I have found that the culprit with UIScrollView is often Auto Layout. In Storyboard, highlight the view element under Main View Controller and then open the "Show the File Inspector" window in the right-hand column. Under "Interface Builder Document", deselect "Use Auto Layout" and see if that corrects your issue.

One hour Nautical Safari excursion in a seat in bus service with an English speaking guide. This excursion consists of a navigation trip on the Rico Lake, which allows us to see the stunning southern wall of the Perito Moreno Glacier. This ice wall rises approximately 60 meters high above the water surface, and extends about 100 meters down under the water surface. The boat navigates along the 200 meter long wall of the Glacier starting at the Magallanes Peninsula. Then we travel around the southern wall extension of the Glacier (almost 3 kilometres) providing us an opportunity to see the intense blues of the ice cracks, and witness the separation of the immense ice blocks from the Glacier, which then fall into the lake. We embark on the Bajo de las Sombras Bay, approximately 7 kilometres before the main Glacier observation point. Duration: 1 hour approximately. This excursion is an optional navigation that can be made taking the FD Perito Moreno excursion.
Mentor, Donald Fisher works with Huntington High School students, Anthony Amitrano, Nick Bozsnyak and Patrick Langton to build a robot. You can create anything you put your mind to and the Huntington High School Robotics team is a prime example of this, with four World Championships in the bag the Robotics team is looking to have another sensational year. But robot parts don't come cheap. This is why Huntington Robotics Incorporated is hosting their third annual Robotics Fundraiser on Nov. 5 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at Launchpad of Huntington, 315 Main Street. It will be a fun, casual cocktail party with beer provided by Six Harbors Brewery and food by Babalu Cuban Bistro. Huntington Robotics Incorporated is a nonprofit that supports Team 5016 through fundraising money and providing mentors. President of the Parent Association of Huntington Robotics, Peggy Low, got involved through her son and daughter's participation in the group. She admires the clubs values of building and involvement with STEM, their community outreach and the business skills it teaches students, but admits that the venture is a costly one. Huntington High School has been a great help to the team by giving them financial support for competitions and transportation, but this funding still is not enough to completely run Team 5016. This leaves it up to Huntington Robotics Incorporated to fundraise and the high school students to secure corporate sponsors. If a parent gets a lead from a corporate sponsor, they will tell the students and help make the introduction, but after that they step back. "The students themselves have to communicate with the corporate sponsor, try to get an appointment for a presentation, make a pitch presentation and close the deal," Low said. It is truly up to the students to run their team, with advising from faculty members, Omar Santiago and Brian Reynolds. The kids have a business plan and voting procedures, along with governing themselves. This fall Huntington Robotics students have been planning and coordinating their community outreach, as well as crafting a method on how they will educate and train next year's team. For the team, their community outreach is a major component of their season. Team 5016 wants to promote STEM learning in the area through initiatives and meeting with other students. Coming up, the team will be holding a Women's Empowerment Symposium on Nov. 19 that is open for all to attend. From where it began in 2013, with around nine students involved, the Robotics team has grown with over 50 students, many of them female and spanish speaking students. In their six years as a team, Team 5016 has attended four World Championships. Their most recent being in Detroit last April. Looking forward to this year's World Championships, the group will not know any of the details of the challenge until January 5th, when the FIRST League releases it. From there, they have six weeks to build a robot that will score them as many points as possible. It is "a lot like a real world problem", because it requires being solved quickly while also working well. "Once they release the ways in which the robot can score points, the designers of the robots, the programmers and the developers, who are students, sit down together for a week or two to come up with a prototype of what they want to build," Low said. A team like Team 5016 gives students the ability to work together for a common goal, while showing them strengths they may never have known they possessed. Parents of the robotics team, board of education members and administration members from the school district, and sponsors will be attending the event. All are invited and welcomed to attend and support Team 5016. Tickets are on sale for the event for $75. Purchase by visiting team5016.com.
Facebook buying Britain-based AI start-up: Report San Francisco, July 3 (IANS) Facebook is reportedly acquiring London-based startup Bloomsbury AI that has developed natural language processing (NLP) technology to help machines answer questions. According to a report in Tech Crunch on Monday, "multiple sources say Facebook is paying between $23 million and $30 million to acquire Bloomsbury AI". The social media giant aims to deploy the Bloomsbury AI technology to work on fighting fake news, the report added. Facebook was yet to comment to the report. Facebook recently announced that it was using AI to remove posts from its platform that involve hate speech, nudity, graphic violence, terrorist content, spam, fake accounts and suicide.

BREAKING: Yankees sign Gerrit Cole By Christian DeMoro - December 11, 2019 Rejoice. The New York Yankees have signed Gerrit Cole to a nine-year deal worth $324 million. The deal comes with an opt-out clause after the 2024 season, according to Jeff Passan. It's an obvious record-breaker for a pitcher, shattering the seven-year, $245 million pact signed earlier this week by Stephen Strasburg, who also happens to be a Scott Boras client. Photo Credit: AP Cole shined this past season in just about every way possible. The California native went 20-5 for the Houston Astros, leading the league with a 2.50 ERA (185 ERA+) and a whopping 326 strikeouts in 212.1 innings. He was the runner-up for the AL Cy Young award, finishing behind his former teammate Justin Verlander. He continued his dominance in the postseason, where in five starts (36.2 IP) he went 4-1 with a 1.72 ERA. Cole's path to pinstripes has been a unique one. He was a 1st round draft pick of the Yankees in 2008, but opted instead to attend UCLA and was selected 1st overall by the Pirates in 2011. The Yankees also had interest in acquiring Cole prior to the 2018 season, but the two sides could not come to an agreement. There you have it. Brian Cashman reels in his biggest fish of the decade just three weeks before it comes to a close. The Yankees did not go to the World Series in the 2010s, and the message is clear: get back on top at any and all costs. Finally - the rest of the league has been put on notice. The Chase for 28 is in full swing.

VIOLENT crime is on the rise in Brimbank, with an alarming spike in armed robberies over the past month. Sunshine Police are investigating 17 robberies and assaults committed in September, almost double the usual monthly average. In the past month detectives have been called to 12 armed robberies, including a string of five service station raids and seven handbag snatches, along with five other robberies and assaults. Sunshine Criminal Investigation Unit detective Senior Sergeant Fred Grove said violent crimes had risen significantly in recent weeks. "Offences of violence have actually risen over the past month," Snr Sgt Grove said. The statistics come following a spate of high-profile attacks committed in Brimbank's borders in recent weeks. In the most recent incident, a 13-year-old boy remains in hospital after being brutally bashed and stabbed by three men in Kings Park. Police believe the boy was attacked in front of horrified witnesses after attempting to gatecrash a party. In another terrifying attack, a Cairnlea resident was bashed with a metal bat and robbed on his way home from Ginifer Station on 8 September. A man was also violently bashed in the Glengala Hotel toilets, while a 22-year-old international student was assaulted and robbed in Cairnlea. Snr Sgt Grove said police were also investigating a string of bag snatchings committed in central Sunshine in the space of a week. Many of the robberies were targeted towards elderly women. In one case, an offender approached his victim from behind and cut her handbag strap with a knife. A passerby who attempted to chase down the robber was also threatened with a knife. Snr Sgt Grove told Star police had worked hard to drive down the statistics, with hundreds of officers flooding the city during operations targeting violence and street crimes. "Much of it is just opportunistic," Snr Sgt Grove said. "Traditionally October is a month where things tend to peak a bit, particularly with the weather warming up but we actually seem to be having our rise in September. Police have yet to catch the person or persons committing handbag robberies and are urging residents to be wary, particularly around shopping centre car parks and transport hubs. Anyone with any information about illegal activity is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
For rock historians, it's as iconic as the Beatles at Shea Stadium, Elvis in Hawaii or Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock: Bob Dylan at the Newport Folk Festival. He made history there in 1965 by trading in his acoustic guitar for an electric one, single-handedly changing the direction of rock. Now Dylan's back - older, grayer, the voice punished by age, but still vital. Although he turns 61 this month, Dylan is still a commercial force, playing more than 100 concerts a year and issuing platinum, Grammy-nominated albums such as last year's "Love and Theft." Today, tickets go on sale for Dylan's appearance at the 2002 Apple & Eve Newport Folk Festival on Aug. 3. The date kicks off both his summer tour and the two days of wide-ranging music at Fort Adams State Park, newly sponsored by a juice company from New York. Dylan's return has been something that organizers have been trying to nail down since the venerable folk festival started up again in 1985 after a 15-year hiatus. "For artists such as Bob and those of his stature, there are so many opportunities to play different places in the summer," said Robert L. Jones, the festival's producer and a Ridgefield resident. Some acts can play to larger crowds at amphitheaters rather than a crowd of 8,000 at a folk festival, he said. "We're lucky to have gotten the big-name artists we've had." But whether Dylan's return to the festival will make history again, "that would be up to him," Jones said. Each of Dylan's previous three appearances - dating back nearly 40 years now - was at a key turning point in his career. In 1963, when the festival was reinstated after a three-year break, Dylan was on hand all weekend as the rising star in folk; his "Blowin' in the Wind" becoming an instant anthem, alongside "We Shall Overcome." A year later, he alienated some who thought he was the future of politically charged folk when he returned to introduce his more introspective, non-topical songs - soon to be released on "Another Side of Bob Dylan" - such as "It Ain't Me, Babe," and "All I Really Want to Do." His 1965 appearance stands out the most. He plugged in with members of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band to roar through songs such as "Maggie's Farm" and what would become his biggest hit, "Like a Rolling Stone." The boos that came from the audience - and the fact that he returned to the stage, almost apologetically, with an acoustic guitar - made the moment blow up into what writer David Hajdu ("Positively Fourth Street") calls "one of the most enduring myths of postwar popular culture." Asked today about Dylan's appearance at Newport in 1965, Jones said, "I don't want to get into it." But in a 1995 Courant interview, Jones said, "I don't remember it being as hectic as everybody says. Just the notion of someone going electric couldn't have been that alarming, because we had Muddy Waters and B.B. King playing electric instruments before that. I think it was the concept of going electric from acoustic for Dylan. For folk purists, this was a desertion." Jones doesn't remember Dylan's appearances before 1965, although he attended as a volunteer in '63 and '64. "My efforts in those years were centered on traditional artists I found with Ralph Rinzler, the folklorist," Jones said. "Our task, in the spring and fall, was to find traditional talent - we were finding Doc Watson, Cajun people, prisoners in Texas - to perform. My focus in those years was keeping those people in tow, and getting them around. There were some pretty wild people to keep track of." Still, the Dylan booking is a reunion of sorts for Jones, who first met Dylan in Connecticut 41 years ago this week at the Indian Neck Folk Festival at the old seaside Montowese Hotel in Branford. Jones himself was a folksinger. "I sang a lot of ballads," he said. "I wasn't a songwriter or anything. I liked the music." Based in Boston, Dylan met Jones a few months later, and Jones introduced the 20-year-old folksinger to Eric Von Schmidt. "Eric was my brother-in-law and had an apartment in Harvard Square," Jones said. "The Cambridge folk scene was big at that point." In one session together, Von Schmidt taught Dylan the country blues of "He Was a Friend of Mine" and "Baby, Let Me Follow You Down." Dylan recorded the latter for his first album in 1962, saying that he had learned it "in the green fields of Harvard University," from Von Schmidt, who today is a painter in Westport. But none of those events serves as Jones' favorite musical memory of his lifetime, much of which was spent as road manager for jazz artists. "For me, at the early folk festivals, the most memorable moments were in the blues workshops in '63, when Mississippi John Hurt and Skip James came back. My others were a sacred music concert with Duke Ellington in Barcelona, and a Paris concert with Sarah Vaughan." But, he added, "I'm hoping to see more such musical moments." And for that reason, he hopes that the Newport Folk Festival this year isn't hailed for returning heroes such as Dylan and Arlo Guthrie, who will headline on Aug. 4. The festival also features such other stars as Shawn Colvin, Jonatha Brooke, Dar Williams, the Ethiopian singer Gigi, bluegrass star Laurie Lewis and a Cajun band, the Hackberry Ramblers. "We certainly understand the history of our event," Jones said, "but our focus is on the present." Tickets for the Newport Folk Festival go on sale today through ticketweb.com.

Here we report the effect of 23 years of experimental warming on plant traits across four different alpine subarctic plant communities. Changes in leaf width, leaf length and plant height of 22 vascular plant species were measured. Long-term warming significantly affected all plant traits. Overall, plant species were taller, with longer and wider leaves when compared with control plots, indicating an increase of biomass in warmed plots. 13 species having significant increases in at least one trait and three species having only negative responses. The response varied among species and plant community, in which species was sampled, indicating community-warming interactions. Thus, plant trait responses are both species- and community-specific. Importantly, here we show that there is likely to be great variation between plant species in their ability to maintain positive growth responses over the longer term, which might cause shifts in their relative competitive ability.

Q: Is there a way to programmatically set DISPLAY when executable is run as sudo instead of failing? When I run any GUI application on Linux (Ubuntu) using sudo command from the Terminal, the application fails with QT error as below. Almost every application fails when attempted; here is an example for firefox As sudo/root doesn't have DISPLAY by default, On setting the display this works Ref: Running GUI application as another (non-root) user Is it possible to identify that the application doesn't have display and set this programmmatically? A: You would simply tell sudo to forward the existing environment variable into the process it's spawning as root. See the --preserve-env=list option in man sudo. Also, running firefox as root gets, no questions asked, a very harsh No. Don't do that. There's positively no reason to run a browser as root, and whatever you're trying to solve that way must be solved a different way. Same, also, for cmake and cmake-gui. Software should not be built as root, and if you have to become root to build it, something has gone wrong. And even if you had to build software as root (you don't, but some software is badly written), you do not have to run cmake or cmake-gui as root. So, bad use cases for sudo.
The Korean War may be considered "The Forgotten War," but it brought us an unforgettable hero. During the war, Lieutenant Chew-Een Lee, the first commissioned U.S. Marine regular officer of Chinese descent, battled communism, injuries, hypothermia and racism to help 8,000 U.S. Marines stave off certain capture at the hands of the enemy. Lt. Lee's remarkable story is told in a Smithsonian Channel original special, UNCOMMON COURAGE: BREAKOUT AT CHOSIN, premiering this Memorial Day, Monday, May 31 at 8pm ET/PT. Prior to the Korean War, the idea of an Asian American leading a U.S. Marine platoon on the battlefield would have been unthinkable. Just a few years earlier in World War II, Japanese Americans had been placed in internment camps and racial segregation was still the rule in most of the United States. Lt. Lee, who would eventually rise to the rank of Major, ushered in a new era in American military history. His story is more than one of breaking barriers; it is a story of courage, grit and dogged determination. Through rare archival footage of the war and exclusive interviews with Lt. Lee and the men who served with him, Uncommon Courage recounts the extraordinary story of one of the key moments of the Korean War, the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir. The one-hour special also looks at the Chinese experience in America, examining typical American attitudes toward Asians at the time, through the eyes of Lt. Lee and his men. Their stories all come together when they meet for the first time at Camp Pendleton, California, just two weeks before shipping out to Korea. Lt. Lee was the untested Marine officer and his green recruits had never spoken with a Chinese man, much less taken orders from one. After the Korean War, Lt. Lee would rise to the rank of Major and draw on his experiences to train a new generation of Marine Corps officers.

Riders Stories Equipment Meet the future of Indian mountain biking Shiven is winning titles and working tirelessly to elevate cycling in a country of 1.4 billion Shiven's first mountain bike race was a successful failure. He was just 14 years old, on the start line with a humble steel mountain bike against a fleet of carbon rigs. He was new to the sport, but he loved pushing up climbs and the thrill of offroad descents. "The whole atmosphere was pretty crazy to me," he says. "It was something that I'd never experienced before." He was third across the line. The result put Shiven on a path that has taken him to the top of a burgeoning XC racing scene in India. But it also taught him a hard lesson. The race ended on a climb that was too difficult for him to pedal. So Shiven hopped off his bike and pushed it up the slope. No longer worried about crashing, he took his helmet off. And when he crossed the line, an official asked him, "Where's your helmet?" Shiven showed the official that his helmet was still hanging from his handlebar. He didn't know that the rules said the helmet should remain on his head. Shiven received a penalty for the infraction that sent him into dead last place. "The whole year I spent in remorse, in a kind of agony, because of my stupidness," Shiven says. "So the next year I trained, even though I didn't know what training was. I woke up early in the morning before school." I started to love that sense of competition, love the sense of putting in the work then reaping the rewards in the race. Shiven won the student category at the same event the following year, 2013. "I started to love that sense of competition, love the sense of putting in the work then reaping the rewards in the race," Shiven says. "And when you can look in your competitors' eyes and you feel that you are actually racing, I got hooked to that feeling." Throughout Shiven's career, he has pushed through barriers to pursue his love of racing. He completed an engineering degree at the same time he was traveling around one of the world's largest nations to take on meager race offerings. Mountain biking in India hadn't yet blossomed, another technicality that couldn't slow him down. Shiven won every race he could — he is the two-time reigning Indian XCO champion and recently placed 12th at Asian MTB Championships, the best an Indian rider has ever done — and now at 25, he's leading a movement to make Indian mountain biking bigger and more competitive, as well as opening paths to the professional levels of the sport. Shiven signed with Trek India this past summer. He is friends with Kiran Kumar Raju, who goes by "KKR," another Indian Trek athlete who forged his own path in cycling and inspired others to do the same. They are among India's first breakout mountain biking stars. In a country with prolific mountains and 1.4 billion people, they certainly won't be the last. Shiven is the defending two-time Indian national champion. \| Photo: Salil Dobhal (@salildobhalphotography) "Even when Kiran was winning national championships, there were guys who were winning medals without even wearing cleats," Shiven says. "That itself just gives an idea of how primitive the sport was at that time. It was purely about raw power pushing the pedals and not much about technique or having a professional approach towards the system. And now things are changing." But before Shiven set about redefining Indian mountain biking, he had to redefine himself. He prefers to be called by just his first name. When he first signed up for Facebook many years ago, the site required that he input a last name, so he entered "Aerohawk" because he liked how it sounded and what it represented: "Aero" as in airborne and his love of aircrafts, "hawk" as in the flying bird of prey. His Instagram handle remains @shiven_aerohawk, and some publications refer to him as "Shiven Aerohawk" as if he's never been anything else. Shiven also describes himself as coming from the Himalayan state of Himachal Pradesh, where he has lived for more than six years, despite growing up in an area just outside the capital city of New Delhi. "My father hails from the Himalayas, and that's where I want to be identified with because I love the mountains," Shiven says. "That's how I started cycling and mountain biking. But unfortunately, I was born and brought up in an area where there are no mountains within about a 200-kilometer radius. I didn't like that part of childhood growing up, not having mountains and not having access to cycling." By the time I finished graduation, I knew if someone in India can pursue mountain biking full time, it had to be me. Shiven fully absorbed the mountains into his identity, earning a reputation as a climbing specialist as he became a podium fixture along with KKR and another good friend, Devender Thakur. Shiven steadily rose up the Indian mountain biking ranks despite never knowing where the sport would take him. As a teenager he dreamed of being a pilot in the armed forces, which led to him entering an engineering degree program after high school. He kept two very distinct career paths open to himself, full-time mountain biking and mechanical engineering, but struggled at times to keep up with his rigorous schedule. When his studies and racing were in conflict with each other, Shiven often gave priority to racing. He fought hard to maintain the 75 percent attendance record required by his college, but his weekends were chiefly occupied by traveling to far-flung locales. He'd pack his bikes and leave for races on a Friday, race on a Sunday, and often get back to his college dorm at 4 a.m. on a Monday for a scant few hours of rest before heading into another week of classes. "By the time I finished graduation, I knew if someone in India can pursue mountain biking full time, it had to be me," Shiven says. "I was one of three athletes who was sponsored by a bike brand [along with KKR and Thakur]. I had the equipment sponsor. I had the ambition. I knew how to do things." Simply participating in Indian mountain biking races could be an adventure in itself. Some events were so flat and smooth they could be conquered on road bikes. Others were much more brutally challenging than riders were aware. Shiven once participated in a race in the Himalayas at over 2,000 meters of elevation that featured roughly 3,600 meters of climbing. Riders anticipated finishing after 150 kilometers, only to be told by organizers that there were still 30 kilometers to go, mostly uphill. "That has to be the toughest one that I've ever done," Shiven says. Shiven lives in mountainous Himachal Pradesh in the Himalayas. \| Photo: Delton Dsouza (@ijustdoubled) & Prathamesh Patil (@prathamesh_patil_visuals) Shiven loved racing despite its hurdles, and even sought out ways to push his own boundaries. In 2021, the Indian National Mountain Bike Championships added an Under-23 event, making Shiven eligible for three potential titles: the men's U23 XCO, elite XCO and individual time trial. He entered all three races, hoping to become the first Indian rider to become a triple national title winner at one event. The races were supposed to take place over three days — the elite time trial on a Friday, the U23 XCO race on a Saturday, and the elite XCO race on a Sunday. Once again, technicalities conspired against him. "The first evening the events got delayed a bit and the time trial race was the last event, so it had to be moved to the evening on the second day," Shiven says. "So basically I had the Under-23 mass start in the morning, the elite time trial in the evening, and the men's elite mass start the next morning." Shiven won the U23 race without much trouble, but post-race fatigue bit him hard during his 23-kilometer time trial run. He almost blacked out during his effort, and was simply happy he didn't crash as he took second place. The next day he felt somewhat refreshed, and secured his first elite men's XCO national title. "So basically, in a matter of 34 hours, I won two national titles and a silver medal," Shiven says. "I was over the clouds to be able to pull this off. And the next year, I defended that title in the elite category. There is no pressure from the sponsor. That's very rare, and a really positive thing that I'm free to do what I want to do. Shiven's rise has coincided with mountain biking's growth as a sport in India. Local events have become bigger and more professionally run, and more riders are heading to start lines for their own breakout performances than ever before. Shiven has noticed that the equipment around him has improved, too. Riders are no longer vying for podiums on flat pedals. Most encouraging to Shiven is that more riders are receiving support from major bike brands like Trek. Shiven had admired KKR's success and support from Trek for years. When the Bicycle Company first approached Shiven in March, 2021, about potentially making him the brand's second Indian rider, he viewed the chance as a major step forward in his career. "For a couple of years, I was literally racing on my own, managing my own budget, managing my own equipment and everything," Shiven says. "The bike for sure is an upgrade, but I think the biggest upgrade has been the mental and moral support that I've received. I've gotten an immense amount of mental support, in the sense that I don't have to worry about equipment, I don't have to worry about a lot of things that an athlete faces in his career. I've been provided with ample opportunities. There is no pressure from the sponsor. That's very rare, and a really positive thing that I'm free to do what I want to do." Shiven, just 25, has made it his mission to raise mountain biking's stature in India. \| Photo: Delton Dsouza (@ijustdoubled) & Prathamesh Patil (@prathamesh_patil_visuals) Shiven worked hard to earn a place on solid ground in an unforgiving sport. Since signing with Trek, he has continued working hard to help other Indian riders who have the passion, talent and work ethic to carve out professional careers of their own. Shiven admits that the Indian mountain biking scene isn't ready to compete against European nations just yet, but it is making progress. He took the lead in organizing a trip to Turkey with nine members of the Indian mountain biking national team, sponsored by the Cycling Federation of India and the Sports Authority of India. For two months over February and March, they trained alongside big-name European riders and took on races ranging from Category 3 to Category 1. The trip gave the riders a solid block of training for the season, and a front-row seat to watch how World Cup-caliber athletes train and compete. It was eye-opening for the riders who, unlike Shiven, hadn't yet raced internationally. "It gives you a big picture, like, 'OK, the competition is very high abroad, and you need to work your ass off to compete at that level,'" Shiven says. The trip may have reminded riders how far they have to go to reach the World Cup level, but it also showed a level of progress that was unfathomable just a few years ago. Until 2015-2016, there was no Indian mountain biking team. ... Now everyone knows each other, everyone helps each other. We are pushing each other. "Until 2015-2016, there was no Indian mountain biking team. That's the first time a team was sent out to Asian Championships, and it was just a couple of riders," Shiven says. "Now everyone knows each other, everyone helps each other. We are pushing each other. A lot more riders are taking things seriously like training full time, training better, getting better equipment. "People are looking up and saying, 'This guy is doing this full time, so maybe we can pursue that as well.' Me, Kiran, Devender, when we were starting out, we didn't have anyone to look up to, and that makes a lot of difference." The next step for India's mountain biking growth will be success and recognition outside of the country's borders. Shiven's 12th-place finish at Asian Championship in South Korea is certainly a good start. His personal favorite example occurred at BIKE Transalp in Germany, an annual seven-day stage race covering approximately 500 kilometers and 18,000 meters of climbing. In 2016, he partnered with Thakur to take on the daunting event, but finished roughly 360th out of 400 teams on Stage 1 due to a series of mechanical issues and mishaps. "We were pretty low," Shiven says. "We were supposedly the best riders in India, and we were having such a bad race." Everything that went wrong on Stage 1 went right on Stage 2. The pair jumped 80-plus places in the overall rankings, more than any other team in the race. For the bounceback performance, they won the Attack Jersey Classification award, and earned a podium celebration at the end of the day. There's no stopping him. \| Photo: Ankit Sharma (@man_made_machines) "We were totally not expecting that. It was the first time we were on the podium of an international event. And that felt so amazing to be there," Shiven says. "We were like, 'Wow, we are on the same stage as these guys who are winning World Championships.' That was a special feeling" Shiven's tastes of international success certainly won't be his last. For all that he's accomplished, and for his high place in India's mountain biking scene, he's still a young rider who has yet to find his ceiling. Every year, there are fewer obstacles in the way of his success. His competition is faster, the races are bigger, and with support at both the state and sponsor level, he has a chance to fulfill immense potential. His goals are sky high. "I want to be winning at the top level, whether it's the Olympics or the World Champs," Shiven says. "I want to be working to the level that I'm winning those races. And for me to get to those levels, it doesn't happen overnight." I want to be winning at the top level, whether it's the Olympics or the World Champs. Shiven knows he won't get to the top by himself. Understanding the environment around him is as critical to his success as his own hard work and desire. He learned that more than a decade ago when he forgot to finish his first ever race with a helmet. Shiven could have used a guiding hand then, and he's determined to make sure promising young riders feel that he is looking after them now. Because what's best for Indian cycling is also what's best for him, and vice versa. "That's one of the reasons that I'm pushing the sport, because I know that's how the sport is going to push me," Shiven says. "It doesn't take one man to do it. You need the whole nation behind you."

NAACP urges pro athletes to avoid signing with Texas teams over abortion, voting laws In this Thursday, Dec. 12, 2019 file photo, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People President Derrick Johnson faces reporters during a news in Boston, held to announce that the NAACP's 111th national convention is to take place in ... more > By Jacob Calvin Meyer - The Washington Times - Thursday, October 28, 2021 The NAACP sent a letter to the players' associations of five professional sports on Thursday urging them to "reconsider" signing with Texas teams because of recently passed measures on abortion, voting and COVID-19. The letter, signed by NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson, mentions laws passed by Texas' Republican-led legislature on abortion and voting rights, as well as moves by Gov. Greg Abbott's administration to go after mask mandates as reasons to shy away from teams in the state. The letter was sent to the players' associations in the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and WNBA. "Over the past few months, legislators in Texas have passed archaic policies, disguised as laws, that directly violate privacy rights and a woman's freedom to choose, restrict access to free and fair elections for Black and brown voters, and increase the risk of contracting coronavirus," the letter says. "If you are a woman, avoid Texas. If you are Black, avoid Texas. If you want to lower your chances of dying from coronavirus, avoid Texas." Last month, an abortion law went into effect barring most abortions after a fetal heartbeat can be detected at six weeks gestation. The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear a challenge to the law by the federal government on Monday. In September, Mr. Abbott signed a bill that changed the state's voting laws, and earlier this month, he signed a new congressional map into law and his administration has been suing school districts that require students to wear masks. "If you are considering signing in Texas, I ask you to ensure that owners are upholding their responsibility of protecting you, the athlete and your family," the letter reads. "I ask you to use your influence to help protect the constitutional rights of each individual at risk." Among the five leagues whose players' associations receive the letter, nine teams are in Texas: the Houston Texans and Dallas Cowboys in the NFL; the Dallas Mavericks and San Antonio Spurs in the NBA; the Houston Astros and Texas Rangers in MLB; the Dallas Stars in the NHL; and the Dallas Wings in the WNBA. • Jacob Calvin Meyer can be reached at [email protected].

The National Council for Curriculum and Assessment unit (NaCCA), has reacted to allegations about the inclusion of the late Joseph Boakye Danquah in the new curriculum released to students. NaCCA, which operates under the ministry of education, explained that prominent historians who executed their duties without any form of political allegiance developed the technical works involved in the curriculum. The comments follow reports of attempts to rewrite Ghanaian history by claiming that Ghana's first president, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, was not the founder of the country. But NaCCA insists that claims that Dr. Kwame Nkrumah had been side-lined in the new curriculum are misleading. "When we were developing the curriculum, we worked as technical people. We will make the list of the history developers available very soon, so that people can check their background to see where they are coming from. We did not select people based on political colorization. They were selected based on their competencies as historians in our country," the incoming executive secretary at NaCCA, Dr. Prince Armah said. According to a Citinewsroom.com report, the new curriculum, students are expected to show an understanding of the factors that led to the formation of early protest movements in Ghana before 1945.
A Policymaker's Guide to the GMO Controversies Val Giddings February 23, 2015 Unfounded fears surrounding GMOs distorts policy decision making. Crops and foods improved through biotechnology, popularly known as "GMOs" (for "genetically modified organisms") remain at the center of a maelstrom of conflicting claims and assertions. This is evident throughout all media, but especially on the Internet. It is difficult for a layperson to make sense of it all, and this becomes even more important when the layperson is a government official in a position to make or influence policy decisions. Because bad information makes for bad policy choices we have prepared this report to provide some factual information, with abundant citations from independent third party authorities. It always helps to consult the data, so we do that in order to examine several key questions that have been repeatedly visible in media of late. These include the economic benefits of GMOs, the U.S. rate of adoption of GMOs, the level of success of the labeling movement, the role of GMOs in affecting weeds and human health, and the sustainability of GMO-based agriculture. In all six cases we find overwhelming evidence for the economic, agricultural, environmental, and health benefits of GMOs. Anyone who follows the news could be forgiven for believing that there is a genuine debate over the merits and safety of crops and foods derived through modern biotechnology. There is not. Scientists and farmers are virtually unanimous on the safety and desirability/effectiveness of crops improved through biotechnology. There is, however, definitely a controversy, one largely manufactured by a small handful of committed, anti-innovation advocacy groups using tried-and-true propaganda techniques to spread fear, uncertainty, and doubt about this important technology, aided by media coverage that is too often uninformed about science and agriculture. As with any campaign wanting to hold back technological innovation, the anti-GMO campaign is based both on ideology and vested interests. The ideological protestors simply reject modern technology in foods and want the world to return to a pre-industrial, pastoral system where farmers plowed with horses and reaped with scythes. In recent years, these professional protest industry's opposition campaigns have been heavily aided by interests: in this case the organic food industry, a segment of which has openly adopted a strategy of spreading unjustified fears and disparagement of their competition. For if extremist elements of the organic industry can (despite all evidence) persuade consumers that GMO foods are harmful, the price of foods will not fall as much, providing less competition for high-priced organics. It is, therefore, worthwhile to dig a little deeper into some of the key issues of the controversy that have been featured prominently over the last year or so. Anatomy Of A Smear Attack on GMO Supporting Scientists Roundup a Carcinogen? Never Mind the Science… Mandatory "GMO" Labeling Proposals Are Failing Despite Unprecedented Efforts and Expenditure
Bannerman Resources, Ltd., reported positive findings from the second phase of the Etango Heap uranium-mining project in Namibia. The company said these results support projections from the project's definitive feasibility study (DFS) and its DFS Optimization Study. "The Etango heap leach demonstration plant program continues to strongly support the DFS (2012) and DFS Optimization Study (2015) assumptions," Bannerman CEO Len Jubber said. "The team in Namibia has now done large-scale testing on 180 tonnes of ore, which substantially de-risks the planned utilization of heap leaching at the Etango deposit. We are excited by the results, which point to additional potential to unlock further value in the Etango Project." The company listed several highlights from the report. In the second phase, the company said there has been low amounts of sulfuric acid consumption of approximately 1 kilogram per ton. The Bannerman report also said that within 20 days, approximately 93 percent of two cribs and 91 percent of column areas have been extracted from a 60-ton sample. Reduction in leach extraction performance is also reported to have not been noticeable between large crib areas, as opposed to the smaller column areas. Bannerman Resources is focused on the development and extraction of uranium in Namibia. The company owns 80 percent of the Etango project.

There's not much point in living somewhere if you don't like living there, and every place claims the right to boast about something, Here on the Outer Banks, though, we seem to have more than our share of reasons to brag. There's the natural setting–which is one of the most beautiful in the world. The lifestyle is wonderful–although it does take some adjusting, going from the frenetic workaday world of the summer to a more normal pace in the off season. But if there is one thing that truly stands out about the Outer Banks, it is this remarkable sense of community and satisfaction in making this the best possible place to live and work. There are a lot of things that describe a healthy community, but one thing all of them have in common is a great school system. By any objective standard, the Outer Banks schools systems are excellent, and excellent school systems are a direct result of community pride and involvement. There is a lot of evidence of that community involvement, but the Wave's Edge Charter School in Corolla, the latest entry onto the local education scene, may be the best yet. Corolla, up there on the north end of the Outer Banks, is in Currituck County. Until about eight or nine years ago, Dare County schools, immediately to the south of Corolla had an agreement to take those kids. However Dare County schools got to full capacity, and couldn't take the additional students, so to get to school, Corolla kids had to take a two hour bus ride everyday to schools on the mainland. The problem was (and still is) that there is only about 20 or 25 school aged kids, certainly not enough to justify a public school of its own. Parents (Meghan Agresto and Sylvia Wolff, in particular) however, felt there had to be a better way to educate their children. Four years ago they began the hard and very involved process of creating a charter school. Last Tuesday (August 28) it opened with 15 students, K-5 and two master teachers filled with creativity and energy. What really seems to set this apart from similar endeavors is the amazing involvement of the local community. And it was not just the individuals who live and work in Corolla–although the only reason this went through is because of their dedication and persistence. What really sets this apart is the commitment from local businesses–including Brindley Beach Vacations–to make this work. Certainly there is some self-interest in creating the school–it is difficult to staff a business with employees who have to drive an hour to an hour and a half to work every day. But it was more than that. There was a very real feeling that this was the right thing to do, and sometimes that is every bit as important as making a good business decision. So–at 9:00 a.m. local icon, Norris Austin (Corolla class of 1956) rang the school bell in the Corolla Schoolhouse–a beautifully restored late 19th century school, that is a reminder of what a community working together can accomplish.

Q: How to change colors of address bar (omnibox) in a Chrome theme? Chrome recently got an update (at least in Canary) where you can modify Chrome themes and change the background and text colors of the address bar. However, I could not find out the syntax or key words needed to change these colors. The following is from the manifest.json file of a theme called Just Black. I added "omnibox_background": [ 65, 65, 65 ] but it didn't change background color of address bar. { "description": "Just Black: when you're feeling extra moody", "key": "(long random string of characters)", "manifest_version": 2, "name": "Just Black", "theme": { "colors": { "bookmark_text": [ 255, 255, 255 ], "frame": [ 0, 0, 0 ], "ntp_background": [ 0, 0, 0 ], "ntp_text": [ 125, 134, 142 ], "tab_background_text": [ 255, 255, 255 ], "tab_background_text_inactive": [ 255, 255, 255 ], "tab_background_text_incognito": [ 255, 255, 255 ], "tab_background_text_incognito_inactive": [ 255, 255, 255 ], "tab_text": [ 255, 255, 255 ], "toolbar": [ 45, 45, 45 ], "omnibox_background": [ 65, 65, 65 ] }, "tints": { "buttons": [ 0.2, 0.2, 0.9 ], "frame_inactive": [ -1, -1, -1 ], "frame_incognito": [ -1, -1, -1 ], "frame_incognito_inactive": [ -1, -1, -1 ] } }, "update_url": "https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx", "version": "2" } A: I know I'm four months late but you actually can you were on the right track, but if you copy and paste this into the manifest, (highlight the whole manifest), then go to chrome://extensions, click Load unpacked extensions in the top right, then find the theme file and click select folder then it should work and if it doesn't, contact me by this thread again (edit: you can also change the "omnibox_background": [65, 65, 65] and "omnibox_text": [255, 255, 255] RGB values to the RGB values of your choosing) { "description": "Just Black: when you're feeling extra moody", "key": "(long random string of characters)", "manifest_version": 2, "name": "Just Black", "theme": { "colors": { "bookmark_text": [ 255, 255, 255 ], "frame": [ 0, 0, 0 ], "ntp_background": [ 0, 0, 0 ], "ntp_text": [ 125, 134, 142 ], "omnibox_background": [ 65, 65, 65 ], "omnibox_text": [ 255, 255, 255 ], "tab_background_text": [ 255, 255, 255 ], "tab_background_text_inactive": [ 255, 255, 255 ], "tab_background_text_incognito": [ 255, 255, 255 ], "tab_background_text_incognito_inactive": [ 255, 255, 255 ], "tab_text": [ 255, 255, 255 ], "toolbar": [ 45, 45, 45 ], }, "tints": { "buttons": [ 0.2, 0.2, 0.9 ], "frame_inactive": [ -1, -1, -1 ], "frame_incognito": [ -1, -1, -1 ], "frame_incognito_inactive": [ -1, -1, -1 ] } }, "update_url": "https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx", "version": "2" }

Our program strengths are borne in our diverse faculty and housestaff, all of whom place special emphasis on teaching and mentorship. Our comprehensive elective engages the student in the entirety of perioperative patient care; thorough preoperative evaluation, formulation of an anesthetic plan, interpretation of intraoperative monitoring, proficiency in airway management and venous access, maintenance of anesthetic, care in postoperative period and critical care settings. Experience will expose each student to the full breadth of anesthesiology practice – pediatrics, regional anesthesia, thoracic, neurosurgical, transplant and vascular surgery. One week will be spent at the Hospital for Special Surgery, the nation's leading regional and orthopedic institution. Subspecialty experience in Critical Care, Pain Management and Cardiothoracic Anesthesia can be arranged on request. In addition to attending the weekly Grand Rounds, the student will participate in the daily departmental resident lecture: Introduction to Anesthesiology. Daily meetings with core faculty will further augment the clinical experience. Educational series focus upon basics of pharmacology, organ system pathophysiology, and hemodynamic monitoring. 6:45 – 7:00 am Meet assigned resident, assist in operating room setup and patient evaluation. A four-week elective in Adult Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology is offered to fourth year medical students from both Weill Cornell Medical College and students visiting from outside institutions. Building on the foundations of anesthesiology garnered during the third year subspecialty rotation, this elective offers an opportunity to expand knowledge and skills in anesthesiology with a focused exposure to the subspecialty of cardiac anesthesiology. By the end of the rotation, the student will have an understanding of basic cardiovascular physiology and the anesthetic considerations for a patient undergoing cardiac surgery. Medical students interested in applying for an anesthesiology residency will have repeated exposure to and be observed by a small group of cardiac anesthesiologists, giving them the opportunity to form a meaningful mentor relationship throughout the ensuing interview process. A typical day begins with the resident assigned to the room, preparing for the day's cases before the patient arrives to the operating room. The student will participate in discussions with the residents and attendings regarding patient management and have the opportunity to place intravascular catheters, manage the patient's airway, and administer medications as appropriate. At the conclusion of the case, the student will accompany the patient and anesthesia team to the intensive care unit and participate in the transfer of care. By the second week, the student is expected to prepare for the next day's cases by performing a history and physical exam on the patient he or she will be following the next day. Teaching occurs daily on an informal basis in the operating rooms, and the student will be encouraged to attend any lectures given to residents throughout the four-week period. Additionally, the student is welcome to attend daily lectures on the fundamentals of anesthesia given to categorical interns rotating through anesthesiology. The student will report to the rotation directors for additional targeted lectures, and is asked to give a short verbal presentation to one or both course directors in the fourth week of the rotation. Students may participate in the elective by contacting the Office of the Registrar at [email protected] or 212-746-1050. Space is limited to two students per rotation. For questions before or during the rotation, please contact Dr. Meghann Fitzgerald at [email protected].

Katie (Lambert) Conover, '03, one of Stonehill's most decorated student-athlete alumnae, is now in her ninth season as head women's lacrosse coach. Conover led the 2010 team to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2007, posting a 13-4 overall record and a 10-1 mark in the NE-10. The Skyhawks claimed the second seed in the conference tournament and advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals, where they fell to eventual national champion Adelphi, and placed five players on the IWLCA and WomensLacrosse.com All-America teams. Additionally, Jaclyn Craig '10 was named the IWLCA Division II Scholar-Athlete of the Year. The 2009 Skyhawks went 10-6 and finished second in the NE-10 behind three All-Americans, but their nine-year conference championship streak was broken with a semifinal loss to Southern New Hampshire. Michelle Kelly '09 became Conover's first nominee for NE-10 Woman of the Year. In Conover's first season as head coach, Stonehill went 14-3 and a perfect 10-0 in NE-10 competition, extending their conference unbeaten streak to 80 games and capturing the school's tenth consecutive regular-season conference title. The team also placed four players on the IWCLA All-American squad, including the school's eighth straight NE-10 Player of the Year honoree in Michelle Kelly. Conover enjoyed a Hall of Fame career at Stonehill, capped by an NCAA Championship in her senior season. She was named to the IWLCA All-America first team all four years, making her the first Stonehill student-athlete to become a four-time All-American in any sport. She was the NE-10 Player of the Year in 2001, 2002, and 2003, following her selection as the NE-10 Rookie of the Year in 2000. Conover was also honored as the IWLCA Attacker of the Year as a senior. Conover finished her career as the NCAA Division II all-time leader in goals (220), assists (106), and points (326). She remains in the top ten in both goals and points.

Fundraising From Friends and Family By Dyan Machan Aug. 6, 2010 12:20 pm ET Bank lending to small businesses is still in the dumpster, and venture capital investment remains way down. But even if times were flush, some entrepreneurs would rather get funding elsewhere. Business owners like Erica Duignan Minnihan and Susan Reiner wouldn't take out a bank loan if President Obama delivered it on a silver platter. They've turned to a capital source often better suited to slow-growing times: friends and family. According to a University of Michigan study of entrepreneurs, the lion's share of initial start-up capital comes from individual savings, friends and family. Though numbers don't track it, under-the-radar financing may be gaining in this economic climate, according to William Dunkelberg, chief economist for the National Federation of Independent Business. Even among banks that want to fund start-ups, he says, "no one is exactly knocking down their door." If Mom, Dad and the neighbors are a more popular option, it's not because they're a soft touch; it's because they're less likely to demand terms that constrain the way the business develops. Duignan Minnihan, 34, is an MBA-wielding mother of three; having worked in investment banking and for an angel investor group, she certainly has contacts for fund-raising. But when she needed $50,000-plus to launch her online business—Healthy Mama Enterprises, which sells the Mamatini, a beverage for nursing mothers—she looked no further than her parents. Why not outsiders? "Too expensive," she says. The typical angel investor, she says, wants a tenfold return on capital in five years—quite a challenge, "unless you can spin gold out of straw." Her parents, of course, weren't so demanding. Duignan Minnihan works from home and outsources tasks to keep overhead low. Her strategy is to get established before she considers courting bigger investors: "I don't want to take $1 million and get in trouble." Ms. Reiner, with partner Wendy Drapanas, started Rock of Ages Press in 2008 to sell products with a spiritual bent to boutiques. A friend who had retired from the mutual fund industry offered start-up funding of several hundred thousand dollars. Ms. Reiner and Ms. Drapanas granted him 51 percent of the company, but the founders retain the right to buy back some of those shares when they repay his investment; it's rare to obtain such favorable terms from an angel investor. Of course, just because investors are friendly (or genetically linked) doesn't mean the relationship should be casual. It's crucial to formalize financial arrangements. Duignan Minnihan, for example, signed a convertible note that gives her parents the right to claim equity in her company. She also drew up a formal business plan, just as she would have for the folks at the bank. Gauging investors' risk tolerance is also important. When the founders of Bonobos.com, a men's clothing retailer, launched their company, family members sought to pitch in, recalls CEO Andy Dunn. But the team ultimately raised money only from the few who could afford to lose it; otherwise, should business go awry, "that can invite some serious dysfunction into your life," notes Mr. Dunn.
KYW Reporter John McDevitt talks about the skills he learned at Summer Stage - Upper Darby Performing Arts Center KYW Reporter John McDevitt talks about the skills he learned at Summer Stage Lauren Stevenson Yacina "You know, I can't think of one bad memory there, it's all a very positive. I was there from almost the very beginning… and I certainly knew of it from the beginning. Seeing where Harry started and where it is, it's just amazing. It's definitely something that's a fond memory." -KYW Reporter John McDevitt on Summer Stage KYW reporter John McDevitt, a Summer Stage alum It is very likely our readers have heard the voice of KYW reporter John McDevitt while listening to news updates on the radio. John has been with the station since 1999. Recently John reported on the "T's Kids" program, a scholarship program in memory of Summer Stage choreographer Terrance Calvert. We took a few minutes to catch up with John, a Summer Stage alum, who told us he utilizes the skills he learned during summers at UDPAC just about every day in his work as a general assignment reporter. John participated in Summer Stage in the late '70s and early '80s "just a few years after it started," said John. "Everyone I knew was in [Summer Stage] or wanted to be in it. I knew the Dietzlers, I went to school with them, Suzie and Greg. I met some very great people while I was in it." John's breakout role was Sheer Kahn, the tiger in "Jungle Book." That led to a small part in the Mainstage production of "Oliver." John reminisced, "The kid fights Oliver in one little scene. It was a small part, but it was fun." He moved on to play Dopey in "Snow White." "I was in so many different things and took so many different classes. Even though I was not that good at dancing I remember taking the classes because everybody else did and it was just a good time" [laughs]. John teaching students at Newstudies, the student reporter program at KYW. John grew up in Drexel Hill and graduated from Monsignor Bonner High School. He continued his education at Temple University, where he got a BA degree in radio, television, and film. After graduating from Temple John followed his dreams and moved to Hollywood to pursue a career in acting, and while there he ended up working at KYW's sister station (KFWB) as an editorial assistant. When he was out on the west coast he remembers someone telling him he had to choose between acting and reporting. John didn't think he had to choose because both require similar skill-sets. John said he got a lot out of Summer Stage. "I certainly took something away from it…it's not all about the singing and dancing. You learn discipline and problem-solving, fostering friendships, and you grow self confidence." John learned a lot about self-confidence while at Summer Stage and in his everyday life as a reporter he utilizes many of the skills he learned here. "By nature I'm a very shy person and in fact, I refer to myself as a paid extrovert," John confessed. As a general assignment reporter, he has to be ready for anything, at a moment's notice. One of the most valuable skills he learned at Summer Stage was how to be adaptable. "I've covered everything from pumpkin picking to murders. I need to adapt to situations. I have to conduct myself in a manner that is sensitive to the situation at hand in order to cover the story in an effective way." At Summer Stage John developed the discipline and self-confidence to get up in front of an audience to convey a message and he remembers there were times when he was melting inside, he was so uncomfortable. But he learned not to show it. In his daily routine as a reporter "I have to be 'on.' It's almost like a salesman. You have to be right up front when approaching people and when asking questions. You have to do a quick sales pitch in a way to get them interested in talking with you. And not everyone says 'yes.' You have to kind of sell it, showcase it, believe in it, and convey it. And that's what performance is." Finally, John credits his days at Summer Stage for learning to think outside of the box, to recognize there is more than just one way to look at things. It was a time when he was able to become a free-thinker, when he was taught specific skills, but was given the freedom to formulate concepts and develop ideas to make them his own. "It was a wonderful time… when you're introduced to the freedom of ideas and creativity that you're not necessarily used to being exposed to. It's refreshing!" While wrapping up John was asked if it was fun to think back on his time at Summer Stage, "Yea, it really was," said John. "You know, I can't think of one bad memory there, it's all a very positive. I was there from almost the very beginning… and I certainly knew of it from the beginning. Seeing where Harry started and where it is, it's just amazing. It's definitely something that's a fond memory."

We've worked with a number of non-profits around the state and otherwise… And after talking with their boards, members, and directors, here are 3 ways we coach them and have them utilize video to drive the results they're looking for! Does your organization hold annual fundraising events? If so, this is a great time to leverage the power of video in front of a captive audience. With that said, not all video types embrace the message you're going for and is why we recommend using an organizations 'mission/brand' video. Generally this tends to be a video that is 5 minutes or less highlighting the purpose and importance of your organization. Does your organization send electronic newsletters or use email marketing? Embedding your video to your monthly newsletter can keep people interested in your cause and can help you fund raise even months after a fundraising event. You can also embed the video into your email's signature so that anyone you send an email to will have access to your video showcasing how your organization is furthering its mission. If you like the idea or are already sharing video's in your email signature, be sure to test it. For example, you may want to test sharing recent case studies with calls to action to donate verse a general mission video. Being able to track these interactions is key and most CRM's used to manage your contacts these days that assist with email delivery have some form of solution for this. Is your organization on social media? If not, you should be! Not only is social media a great way to further your relationship with your existing audience, it's also a great place to make new connections and spread your message. Video been proven to increase engagement on social media. The DRC continued to utilize their original fundraising video by re-editing the video to shorter 30-60 second video segments that they utilized to engage their members on social media. So where and what types of video's should you share to increase donation? First, we want to be sure to note that we always feel you should first prioritize posts with value/education, while sprinkling in calls to action (CTAs) to donate or contribute. This value-added method includes sharing quality content like case studies, new tactics/strategies in the industry, influencers, etc. Share your stories and updates across the prominent social media platforms by uploading directly to said platform. For example, upload your videos to Facebook and Youtube for users to consume, like, and share to further your organizations awareness and engagement.

Often, Serbian and Croatian writers from Bosnia and Herzegovina are not considered "Bosnian literature" but Serbian or Croatian. Here is an overview of the overall literature in the country. The oldest literary memorial from Bosnia-Herzegovina is the Trebinje chronicle of the 11th century, written in Latin as part of Pop Dukljan's chronicle of the history of slaves. The oldest literature in Slavic consists of religious writings (legends) from the 1100s to the 1400s, and is often put in connection with the Bosnian heretic church. In addition, there are written sources from the Middle Ages with no real literary value, such as inscriptions (on tombstones) and administrative documents. Ivo Andrić is one of Bosnia and Herzegovina's most significant writers. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1961. The times 1500–1800 In the 16th and 16th centuries, there is both a Serbian and a Croatian literary tradition, linked to the Serbian Orthodox and the Catholic Church. The first printing press was established in 1519 in Goražde, where Serbian church books were printed for a few years. Among the Croatian Catholic Franciscan monks a rich literary tradition emerged. Matija Divković (1563–1631) printed her books in Venice, fables and edifying writings, written in the vernacular. During humanism in the 18th century, several major Catholic writers wrote in Latin. Literature influenced by Oriental and Jewish tradition From the 16th century, the conquest of the Turks led to a rich literary activity influenced by oriental culture. Many Bosnian writers wrote in Arabic, Persian and Turkish. Among the most important poems in Oriental languages are Derviš-paša Bajezidagić (died 1603), Muhamed Nerkesi (1584-1635), Mula Mustafa Bašeskija (1731-1809) and Arif Hikmetbeg Rizvanbegović (1839-1903). There was also a literature in Slavic- Bosnian written in Arabic (the so-called alhamijado literature), especially love poems in Oriental tradition. Among the representatives of this literature are Muhamed Hevai Uskufi (1601–1651), Fejzo Softa (early 19th century) and the female poet Umihana Čuvidina (c. 1794–1870). The Sephardic Jews who were expelled from Spain and settled in Bosnia-Herzegovina in the late 1400s developed a literature in Spanish and Hebrew. Especially rich is the Bosnian-Spanish romance poem. Folkediktning Bosnia and Herzegovina has rich folk poetry. The oldest records date from the 17th century. The famous folk song Hasanaginica (1774, in Viaggio in Dalmazia by Alberto Fortis) was translated by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Bosnian folk songs can be found in the collections of the Serbian Vuk Karadžić at the beginning of the 19th century. Jukić's collection of Bosnian folk songs was published in 1858. In 1887-1890, Austrian Kosta Hörmann published a large collection of folk songs. They are divided into seven valleys (love songs with an oriental feel), ballads and epic hero songs. 1800s and early 1900s In the 19th century, a more recent Bosnian literature emerged. A prominent Croat-Bosnian author was the Franciscan monk Ivan Frano Jukić (1818–1858), who wrote poems and historical works and founded the first literary journal in 1850. In the late 1800s, a literature influenced by modern European currents emerged. A significant Croatian poet from Bosnia and Herzegovina was Silvije Strahimir Kranjčević (1865-1908). The most famous Muslim poets were Riza Beg Kapetanović Ljubušak (1868–1931), Safvet Beg Bašagić (1870–1934) and the symbolist Musa Cazim Catić (1878–1915). During the Austrian rule from 1878 to 1914 several literary journals, both Serbian, Croatian and Muslim, were published, and the literary and political divide was deepened. Around the turn of the century, Mostar was a literary center with several major Serbian writers, such as the native poet Aleksa Šantić (1868–1924), the symbolist Jovan Dučić (1871–1943) and the proseist Svetozar Ćorović (1875–1919). Satirist Petar Kočić (1877-1916) fought for the Serbs' national cause and wrote short stories and plays aimed at the Austrian occupation. Mainly young Serbian writers gathered in the movement Mlada Bosna (Young Bosnia), which fought the Austrians and sought support in Serbia. Ivo Andrić, the most important author from Bosnia-Herzegovina, also belonged to this circle. The interwar period In the interwar period, when the country became part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, there were several significant writers, including Croatian expressionist lyricist Antun Branko Simić (1898–1925), Muslims Hamza Humo (1895–1970), who wrote lyric and prose, and the prose Hasan Kikić (1905–1942). The foremost prosaist was the Jewish writer Isak Samokovlija (1889–1955), who in his short stories portrayed the life of the Bosnian Jews. Skender Kulenović (1910–1978) joined the partisans and wrote one of the most well-known poems about the suffering of the civilian population during World War II. In the post-war period, the most significant lyricist was Mak Dizdar (1917–1971), with the poetry collection Steinsoverne, which built on ancient Bosnian myths. The humorist Branko Ćopić (1915–1993) gained great popularity. The most important prose writer was Meša Selimović (1910–1982), who wrote historical novels, including The Fortress and the Dervish and Death (Norwegian translation 1992). A popular lyricist is Izet Sarajlić (1930–2002). Recent authors include lyricists Abdulah Sidran (born 1944), Ajsa Zahirović (born 1942) and Josip Osti (born 1945), lyricists and prose writers such as Hadžem Hajdarević (born 1956) and Marko Ves˘ović (born 1945), and proseists Nedžad Ibrišimović (1940–2011), Irfan Horozović (born 1947), Dževad Karahasan (born 1953), Nura Bazdulj-Hubijar (born 1951; Love is a sihirbaz, Norwegian translation 1993) and Miljenko Jergović (born 1966). Several Bosnian writers live abroad as a result of the Bosnia War (1992–1995), such as Goran Simić (born 1948; Sarajevo's grief, Norwegian translation 1995), Aleksandar Hemon (born 1964), who also writes in English (Where is Bruno?, Norwegian translation 2000), and Munib Delalić (born 1950), who lives in Norway and translates from Norwegian.

I managed to spend Friday in the studio! It was a very Fiona type day - a bit of this and a bit of that but I felt by the end of it I had done some practice and some preparation for the exhibition, and made progress. I have learned that I spend a lot of time in my head planning and preparing, then I practice then finally I do - and the doing usually happens quite quickly. I also know I like to work on several projects at once - that way I don't get bored. So I painted a background for a joint piece I am doing with Barry; did some trial runs for a piece I am doing for a Japanese friend; worked my way through some difficult folds for books and sat quietly bending wire into flowers as you do. We have been doing a lot of travelling lately, mostly for work but sometimes for pleasure and I seem to have spent more time in the sky than on the ground (or so it seems). I don't think I will ever tire of looking at this country from high in the sky and seeing the fabulous patterns it forms. I am often still like a little kid on their first flight - leaning over and marvelling at how the world looks when you get to step back . All that travel means I haven't had much time to do hands on art work - but the patterns and textures I see from the air still inspire me. Whilst this isn't the world so much as the window, it still had great patterns. And this is from the trip across to Perth - the red earth and desert. Heading to Singapore we flew across these fabulous paddocks making patchwork in western Queensland. All in all a great opportunity to stop and see the world anew, which helps keep me fresh. I have decided that life is one big roller coaster and basically, you just get on and ride! In amongst what has been a most hectic month or so with work-work; I have been pursuing this weird and wonderful request. It started when I was asked to write on some timber 'pebbles'. David Linton is a master wood craftsman who has both a workshop and a shopfront in our town. He made our dining table and chairs and is a true artisan. Anyhow, he asked me to write some inspirational words on some of his timber pebbles - as reminders and gifts for some people. I did this and he really enjoyed them. Afterwards he asked if I could write out a longer quote on a big piece of timber he had set aside, to act as an entrance post to his shop. What do you do? You say - I don't know, but I'll give it a try. After a trial run with different inks and the like, we agreed to have a go. On Monday this week I spent the day at his workshop - in amongst so much timber - and wrote. It was the most challenging piece of writing I have ever done - the log is so heavy it had to be put in place mechanically and just rested down and backwards (interesting, when most calligraphers write up and sloped slightly forwards). Here is the project before it began...an interesting set up, but oh what a marvellous piece of timber. It's pretty much done now; but I'll wait until it's in situ and all OK before posting the final pics. Stay tuned! I mentioned we had been travelling in Western Australia recently and that we came across this remarkable bushwalk/sculpture trail at Northcliff called Understory. It took us about an hour or so to wander through and to be honest, if you really wanted to understand the whole story and the interactions of the artists, the musicians and the writers it would probably take a good half day. The audio tour we followed had a number of the artists speaking about the inspiration for their work, the process of developing and creating and their response to the location. There were other audio tours with commentary by the musicians and the writers as well as one for children. It is a collective response by a group of artists following the closure of the mill in Northcliff and many of the artworks tell stories of the tall timbers, the forests and the people who have worked there. I really liked the pieces that were ephemeral...disappearing into and becoming part of the forest. These two pieces have been on the road and away for a while, and I'm happy to have them home. They have been on display in Japan, then in Brisbane and finally at the Library here in Maleny. They are books I made using black bean pods and banana paper and they rest on cedar plinths. The black bean pod grows only on one tree in our town that I know of, but when it falls, and the seeds come out, it begins to dry and twist into this beautiful, elegant shape. If you would like to listen to a contemporary version of Paul Kelly's song, created following our Government's Apology to the Stolen Generation there is a great video here. We live in an area with high rainfall for which we are grateful. One of the added gifts this brings is that we often get to see fabulous rainbows across the valley below. Even if we didn't see lots of rainbows I would still love them; and they feature in quite few of my books. Quirky but fun! A rainbow brooch - handmade little book-brooches; one a happy rainbow. Once again I have had the good fortune of working with a local poet's words. There is something very special about meeting and/or knowing the person who has written the words and who has given you the opportunity to work with them and create a thing of beauty. I made this book for a recent exhibition and was thrilled to use Gary's poem Silences. We had a cup of tea in a local cafe and he explained a bit of what lay behind the poem, and I explained what I do and together we believed that this was a good thing to do. Our lives are filled with silences; if we can stop long enough to simply be and recognise them. I think these silences often contain powerful and important moments, even if they seem to be insignificant. are both OK with that - I like having it in my studio. A recent trip to Western Australia was filled with galleries and public art. We really enjoyed the many sculptures that were scattered through the streets of Perth as well as two sculpture-specific "galleries". We found this piece on our first morning in Perth and it was a lovely welcome for a calligrapher and their fellow traveller who loves pens. It can be found at the corner of The Esplanade and Barrack St, and is called Memory Markers. It was inspired by the process of recording and documenting history and the written memories of Stirling Gardens, Western Australia's first botanical gardens. It reminds me of the importance of writing down stories and capturing the fleeting moments so that our history can be held. We also visited Gomboc Gallery in the Swan Valley - 4.5 hectares of sculpture garden, ever-changing; as well as Understory in Northcliffe - a 1.2km forest trail with permanent and ephemeral sculptures located at varying points along the way. Both are definitely worth a visit and I'll write more about Understory I am sure.
Dealing with a plenty of content day by day, being able to understand the need for CMS in business. There are many businesses that fail to understand the very thing and its importance. To all those businesses I would like to dedicate this post. Every business must rely on CMS system to build their potential. Now let us proceed in understanding the need for Content Management System. What are the characteristics of a CMS that improves the business? The CMS which you select should meet your business needs. You could find a difference in selecting the best CMS platforms that could help in a better way. As the WordPress platform gives you an "Easy to use" Experience you could use it as your priority. In case if you are looking out to manage your website with many properties then you can choose Joomla or Drupal. Make sure that you are selecting the right one to improve your business potential. While choosing you should be good enough to estimate whether your choice fits your budget. Because the budget is the root cause, to begin with any process. A perfect CMS is always the one that can fit into any budget and fulfills the need at an affordable price. WordPress vs. Joomla vs. Drupal: Which CMS is best for a business website? On selecting the right CMS your are finding right solutions for integration. Especially, online storefronts need scalable hosting options to avoid crashing during the high-traffic. Though you may not use an online store website, yet it is important that you choose the best CMS that is compatible. Further, follows with content architecture. But until you map your website you cannot understand the integrations needed. At the same time determining the expected traffic fluctuations is essential. By this, you would make it up with the right CMS that meets the hosting needs. Many business personalities fail to secure their details of their websites. Though you may have developed a stunning website, but failed to secure it, then it is useless. In case if you are selecting a CMS, then you should be definite in selecting the one that is secure enough. To your notice, open source platforms are not that secure. However, you are supposed to make your system secure enough according to your needs. Along with it ensure that the CMS which you choose is provided with the required certificates. Planning it to be so or how secure it has to be, you could save your website from future disabilities. Still, there are CMS that are efficient enough to handle yet they fail to meet the requirements. You shouldn't be selecting one such. The efficient way of selecting the best CMS is by looking at its features. This proceeds with the purpose of your website and the project map. Your perspective should make your website deliver the best use cases and determine the features that are appropriate. Which in turn makes it meet the future use cases. You should never choose the one that is capable to meet the current scenario. Rather, go with the one that meets even the future priorities. The best CMS would be the more flexible one. As flexibility is the key note in selecting the content management system. The possibility of developing custom pages and default templates are the biggest benefits of choosing the right CMS. The design is the core element that carries trust among users. It is good to ensure that the site and the pages are flexible enough. There is no constraint in choosing your best designs and themes. At most cases, I have come across businesses that are in need of handling websites with high efficient tools. And that is where plugins play an important role. You should be clear enough in choosing the right CMS that provides the necessary plugins which are necessary for your business development. The effectiveness of website depends more or less on the personalization. A CMS that helps with user effective personalization scores a more trust when compared to any other CMS that does not provide them. A best CMS system is the one that has the above-mentioned characteristics. You could find a system that is highly specific in meeting the needs of your business. Make sure that you are selecting such a CMS to improve your business in a better way. If you are planning to develop your business and if that is going to be through your business website then you should definitely look out for the above-stated characteristics. As this is going to be a step that you take for a long run. And it should be a one that marks the business at the highest standards. This is surely going to help you a lot. Let us know on your successful step.
38th Annual Run the Bronx, a community event that promotes the importance of health and fitness throughout the Bronx, New York and the surrounding communities. Held annually on the first Saturday in May since 1977, Bronx Community College's Run the Bronx is a community health event that promotes the importance of regular physical activity among children and adults. Bronx County is the least heathy county across New York State, consistently ranking 62 out of 62 counties. This finding underscores the need for adults and youth to incorporate regular exercise into their daily lives. For thirty-eight years, BCC's Run the Bronx has served this purpose, providing an opportunity for participants to engage in a 10K/5K run or a 2-mile fitness walk in a fun, safe and supportive environment.

Latest version of a static binary - naming consideration basil (Basil Hendroff) September 6, 2020, 6:04pm #1 Extract for the Caddy V2 documentation… screenshot.540990×527 26.6 KB This suggests that the download root is https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/releases/latest/download with the ASSET choices listed under https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/releases. For example, the FreeBSD (x64) version of the static binary is named caddy_2.1.1_freebsd_amd64.tar.gz The naming convention used for the asset doesn't lend itself to scripting the download of the latest version because the version number is included in the asset name. When, say, 2.2.0 of a static binary is released, the script would have to be modified to point to the new asset. From a scripting perspective, it would be helpful if the asset name for the latest version were independent of the version number e.g. caddy_freebsd_amd64.tar.gz. When the script is run, it would acquire the latest version whatever that might be at the time. matt (Matt Holt) September 7, 2020, 5:12am #2 All true… and I thought of this too, but in the past we saw a lot of requests for the version number to be included in the filename so that it was easy to identify which version was downloaded without having to run the program (or remember which version it was at the time of the download), especially since it is often downloaded on a different platform so running it isn't always possible/convenient. basil (Basil Hendroff) September 8, 2020, 2:36am #3 Selfishly, and I understand that there's considerable effort involved initially and ongoing, and I understand that it would probably only benefit the few of us that script, and I'll drop it after this post, but I wonder if both audiences could be catered for? (I'm being somewhat cheeky here.) I think as a workaround, some people are using a GitHub API call to get the latest tag or release or something like that. basil: Selfishly, and I understand that there's considerable effort involved initially and ongoing, and I understand that it would probably only benefit the few of us that script, and I'll drop it after this post, but I wonder if both audiences could be catered for? Maybe; what do you suggest, exactly? Considering the graphic in my previous post, and acknowledging that this is just wishful thinking… Those of us who are quite happy to enter caddy version to determine the version of Caddy would download caddy_freebsd_amd64.tar.gz from the latest path shown in the graphic. Those of us who would prefer to see the version in the filename e.g. caddy_2.2.0_freebsd_amd64.tar.gz would download from one of the other paths shown in the graphic. The workaround I use atm is to build Caddy from source within the script. This avoids the version issue, but of course this takes time. matt (Matt Holt) September 8, 2020, 12:15pm #7 I don't know if we can customize the file paths; GitHub chooses those for us. All we have control over are the filename and its contents. Note that this is only possible if you're downloading for the same platform you're currently using. Often people download to deploy onto a different platform so they can't run the binary to get the version. basil (Basil Hendroff) September 8, 2020, 12:14pm #8 Hi Matt, I understand now there's a GitHub limitation. I appreciate you taking the time to explore the idea with me. Fortunately, due to the stability of Caddy, there aren't frequent releases so it isn't such a big issue to change a script pointer to a newer version of the asset. system (system) closed December 5, 2020, 6:04pm #9 This topic was automatically closed after 90 days.
