Iconic observatory witnessed in James Bond film "GoldenEye" goes darkish soon after enormous telescope located mysteriously damaged A significant radio telescope designed famed as the backdrop for a pivotal scene in James Bond film "GoldenEye" and other Hollywood hits was located out of the blue out of commission just after cables mysteriously snapped and smashed into the facility's principal dish. The Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico is dwelling to one particular of the world's premier radio telescopes, performing as a giant ear to the universe. Positioned in the middle of a forest, the telescope listens for radio indicators from other galaxies and has contributed to various breakthroughs in astronomy. Aside from monitoring asteroids that could endanger the world, the telescope performed a important function in the "SETI" program — the research for smart daily life. It was notably employed by astronomer Carl Sagan to mail an interstellar message. Before this week, the facility was pressured to close down soon after a cable supporting a metal system higher than the telescope fell, tearing a 100-foot gash in its giant reflector dish. "The cable didn't definitely crack in the sense of a cable kind of snapping, but it just kind of slipped from its socket, which is you know, an even weirder situation," Arecibo Observatory Director Francisco Cordova instructed CBS News' Jeff Glor. Specialists operating all over the clock to get the telescope back again on line say they are nevertheless building assessments to locate what precisely took place, storing the machine's "structure of capabilities," and earning confident it could not direct to much more troubles in the upcoming. "So at this place, we are not, you know, we don't seriously have a even larger timeline of when that is going to materialize," Cordova stated. See also The robot dog urges beer and moves according to the environment; View | Technology The telescope, a pivotal element of the ongoing search to locate other planets able of sustaining everyday living, has survived terrestrial hazards like hurricanes, tropical storms and earthquakes. Now, the scientific group hopes it can get better from the mysterious injury. "We are going to discover a way to fix this particular concern and continue to transfer forward," Cordova mentioned. "We have overcome a whole lot in our 50-year historical past, from Hurricane Maria to extremely the latest rash of earthquakes to now this. So we're a very resilient bunch down listed here and we are going to determine out a way to continue on to move forward, accomplishing thrilling science for the world."

Origin Part V Some things are better left undiscovered! Charlie silently followed her as she stepped across the threshold, and as she did a faint blue glow illuminated the center of the room. She stopped and stepped back, suddenly unsure if she should continue, and the blue light faded to darkness. Stepping forward again, she was rewarded with the return of that blue glow that seemed to emanate from the center of the room. Following the beam of her flashlight, they both ventured deeper into the chamber, coming to a stone bench on their right. She played the beam of the flashlight over the dust-covered surface of the bench, noting how it curved to the left as it vanished into the shadows. There was another bench thee feet in front of the first, it too curving into the emptiness that pressed in on all sides. With growing confidence she pushed on, coming to a third bench in front of the second one. As they ventured deeper into the chamber, she slowly became aware that the blue glow was coming from an object to her immediate front. She stopped, took a deep breath, and switched off her flashlight. "Turn off your light," she said. Charlie complied and as her eyes adjusted to the darkness the blue glow grew stronger until she could make out the shape of a large blue globe hanging suspended an unknown distance before her. More details came into focus and she began picking out tiny spots of light high above her head all around her. The image reminded her of a planetarium during a showing and she suddenly realized that what she was gazing upon was the home world of whatever had built this structure. "See what?" "Close your eyes for a minute and let them adjust to the dark." Sandra closed her own eyes and when she reopened them that alien solar system was once again laid out before her with that faint blue sun in the center. "What the hell," Charlie said. "I think that's why they came here." "Those who built this structure. Their sun was dying." "A star system, their home." "Of course, who did you think I was talking about?" "How can you be so sure?" "I'm not absolutely certain. Not one hundred percent. But the explanation fits." "Then where are they now?" Sandra shrugged. "I don't know." They had moved forward to a raised dais a foot higher than the rest of the floor. Stepping up together, they approached the blue sphere, beneath which rested a small white box. Charlie reached the item first, marveling at the craftsmanship that had gone into constructing this small object. It looked like fine marble cut into very thin sheets, somewhat transparent, its contents were a faint smudge against the white. "What is it?" Charlie said. "I don't know." Sandra touched the surface of the box and when she did her mind was suddenly filled with ancient images of an alien place that was all but a memory. She saw a vast valley beneath a blue sun. From the floor of the valley rose an immense tower. The spires of Beizel in the valley of tears. The name came to her from the black depths of a consciousness that stretched into the antediluvian void of their past. She could feel them around her, the followers who had trekked to this desolate plain, and the faithful who had come to seek redemption. Their thoughts washed over and around her, a single voice in a seething populace whose movements were so perfectly timed they took on the appearance of the surface of the ocean as gentle swells raced from one end to the other in a continuous cycle. They had come seeking salvation and found it in the singularity of one thought that washed through them with a solitary voice. The individual parts of the whole had come together to form a distinct thought, and that was survival of the species. Their sun was dying, the time for the planet, for their reign, had come to a close. But one chance remained, the survival of the species lay with the chosen who would reach out into the great beyond; to ensure the survival of the species they would venture into the farthest reaches of the cosmos in their search for a new planet to call their own. Sandra stepped back from the box, her fingers numbed by the contact, struggling to catch her breath as the true meaning of what she had briefly seen began to sink in. They did not belong here. In the shadows around her their memories moved with a sinuous ease through the deeper night. "Are you all right?" Charlie said, resting his hand on her shoulder as he stepped forward to look at the box resting on the raised dais. "Don't touch it," she warned him. But he ignored her, reaching out to grasp the box in one hand as he softly whispered, "So beautiful." Before she could stop him, he had flipped open the delicate hasp and was raising the lid to gaze upon what the box contained. Sandra became aware of movement in the shadows all around her as that ozone aroma intensified. Her hair felt like it was standing on end in response to the suddenly charged atmosphere. Tentacles of darkness slithered across the dais towards them. Check out Adversary, book one of the Shadows of the Past series. Click on cover for more info or to order!

Q: If $\sum_{n=1}^\infty E(X_n-X_{n-1})^2/b_n^2 < \infty$, then $X_n/b_n \rightarrow 0$ a.s. This is Durrett Exercise 5.4.9. I'm trying to show that if $X_n$ is a martingale, and $b_m \uparrow \infty$, $\sum_{n=1}^\infty E(X_n-X_{n-1})^2/b_n^2 < \infty$, then $X_n/b_n \rightarrow 0$ a.s.. If $X_n \in L^2$, I can show that this reduces to Durrett Exercise 5.4.8, which I have solved, since the above also gives us that the the sum of $\sum_{n=1}^\infty E\left(\frac{X_n}{b_n}-\frac{X_{n-1}}{b_{n-1}}\right)^2<\infty$, and then I can use orthogonality of martingale increments, and $L^p$ convergence theorem to conclude that it converges in almost surely and in $L^2$, although I'm not sure that I can show it converges to 0. But, in this case, I am stuck and unable to proceed A: Hints: Since $b_n \uparrow \infty$ we may assume without loss of generality that $b_n>1$ for all $n \geq 1$. Let's first assume additionally that $(X_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ is square integrable and $X_0 = 0$. * *Set $$Y_n := \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{X_i-X_{i-1}}{b_i}.$$ Show that $(Y_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ is a squre-integrable martingale with $$\mathbb{E}(Y_n^2) = \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{\mathbb{E}((X_i-X_{i-1})^2)}{b_i^2}.$$ *It follows from Step 1 and the assumptions on $(X_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ that $(Y_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ is an $L^2$-bounded martingale. The martingale convergence thorem yields that $Y_n$ converges almost surely, i.e. $$\sum_{i=1}^{\infty} \frac{X_i-X_{i-1}}{b_i}$$ converges with probability $1$. *Apply Kronecker's lemma to deduce that $$\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{X_n}{b_n} = 0 \quad \text{a.s.}$$ For the general case: Define $\tilde{X}_n := X_n-X_0$. * *Check that $\sum_n \mathbb{E}((X_n-X_{n-1})^2)/b_n^2 < \infty$ implies $\sum_n \mathbb{E}((\tilde{X}_n-\tilde{X}_{n-1})^2)/b_n^2 < \infty$. *Deduce from $\mathbb{E}((\tilde{X}_n-\tilde{X}_{n-1})^2)< \infty$, $n \in \mathbb{N}$, and $\tilde{X}_0 =0 \in L^2(\mathbb{P})$ that $\tilde{X}_n \in L^2(\mathbb{P})$ for all $n \geq 1$. *Apply the first part of this answer to $\tilde{X}_n$.

British R&B/Soul songstress Cherri V began the year with her exciting new single 'Swimming' featuring Birmingham rapper RoxXxan, which has been garnering strong early support from BBC 1Xtra, The Beat London, Reprezent Radio, ILUVLIVE and SingersRoom, among others. Now, she he returns with the accompanying visuals for 'Swimming', premiered exclusively via 1883 Magazine. Produced by Asylum 33, who have previously worked with Tinie Tempah, Mr. Eazi, Shakka, and Bonkaz, among others, the music video for 'Swimming' sees Cherri V and RoxXxan bringing a more relaxed and organic visual element to the experimental R&B offering, as they party among friends, while Cherri V gets to know her leading man, without the usual pressures that come with meeting someone new. Speaking especially about those pressures, and how her 'Swimming' music video speaks directly to those real life situations we all face when looking for love, Cherri V explains, "There's nothing like meeting a guy through friends, ones who can vouch for him and give you that casual introduction. No pressure, just friends amongst friends, getting familiar in a relaxed setting". Expanding on the inspiration for her 'Swimming' visuals, Cherri V adds, "I'm glad Asylum 33 (who produced the video) were able to capture that house party relaxed feel. I also wanted to take a little more of a casual approach for this video, compared to 'Leave Me Be', and shove my real friends in front of the camera lol. The shots in the pool were a highlight for me! I'm really proud of this visual". Check out the video in our box above.

"SELECT PUT('{4}',{1},1,{0},'{2}',0,{3},0,'{5}') as A from LIBRARY.EARNER where EAR = '{4}'" Not sure if this helps anyone else other than me though! A: For any DB2 n00bs like myself hitting this page searching for answers to "SQL0440 - Routine [YourRoutine] in [*N | LIBRARY] not found with specified parameters"... For me, my problem was where I had defined the constant for the stored procedure name, like so: // Database Constants public const string DB_PROC_GET_MYPROC = @"LIBRARY.MYPROC"; How I should have declared it was: // Database Constants public const string DB_PROC_GET_MYPROC = @"LIBRARY.MYPROC(@stateCode, @productCode, @tranType)"; ...with the parameters included. I've spent so long with Entity Framework, I have all but forgotten direct database connection basics in c#. Hope this saves someone some time.

Premier League: Leicester crushes West Brom Published: Sep 14,202001:11 AM Leicester City made a winning start to the 2020-21 Premier League season with a 3-0 demolition of newly-promoted West Bromwich Albion on Sunday. Leicester City's Jamie Vardy Jamie Vardy (74' and 84') converted two penalties in the second half, while full-back Timothy Castagne (56') scored on his debut with a header and picked up the Man-of-the-Match award. On Saturday, defending champion Liverpool edged out Leeds United 4-3 at Anfield. Mohamed Salah (4', 33' and 88') was at his absolute best for the host, netting thrice. Centre-back Virgil Van Dijk (20') also got on the scoresheet for Liverpool. Jack Harrison (12'), Patrick Bamford (30') and Mateusz Klich (66') netted a goal each for Leeds.

Censure au Centre Pompidou Julio Le Parc presents a brief explanation about a situation in which he was not permitted to include a pamphlet with his works in the Denise René L'intrépide exhibition. Due to this situation, which he considered to be censorship, Le Parc invited, through this writing, anyone who wanted to accompany him on Friday, April 20, 2001, at 6:30 PM to paste the pamphlet over one of his works. Julio Le Parc (1928) was born in the Province of Mendoza, in Argentina, and graduated in Buenos Aires. In 1955, he participated in the student movement that took over the country's fine arts schools, and in 1958, Le Parc traveled to Paris on a scholarship. While there, between 1960 and 1968, he became part of the GRAV, Groupe de Recherche d'Art Visuel [Experimental Visual Arts Research Group], which, in turn, participated in the Nouvelle Tendence [New Tendency] international movement. He later continued his visual research and production within the kinetic art movement. On many occasions, his positions on various issues from the point of view of a Latin American artist were accounted for. Since 1945, the Parisian Denise René art gallery has promoted abstraction, especially in its geometric and kinetic aspects. Given that the authorities at the Centre Georges Pompidou did not allow him to include his pamphlet that accompanied the works presented in the Denise René L'intrépide exhibition, which took place there between April 4 and June 4, 2001, Le Parc titled this explanation Censura en el Centre Pompidou [Censorship at the Pompidou Center]. This source has been selected as evidence of the invitation to the symbolic act in which he proceeded to stick the pamphlet on one of his works. This document is linked to the pamphlet dated April 3, 2001. Note that the exhibition was also presented at the Centro Atlántico de Arte Moderno de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria [Grand Canary Island], between September 18 and November 18, 2001, albeit with another title:El arte abstracto y la Galería Denise René [Abstract Art and the Denise René Gallery].

Castel Sant'Angelo – Hadrian's Mausoleum by Thomas Dowson | Italy, Rome | 0 comments Across the St Angelo Bridge from the bulk of the ancient city of Rome and not far from Vatican City, Castel Sant'Angelo dominates the northern bank of the Tiber River. Construction started on an artificial mound in the 120s for the Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum. By the time of his death on 10 July 138 AD, the funerary monument was incomplete. The mausoleum was completed by Antoninus Pius in 139 AD. The ashes of the late emperor and his wife Sabina (who had died before Hadrian), as well as those of Aelius Caesar (Hadrian's first adopted heir) were the first to be interred here. Subsequent emperors, their wives and immediate family also had their ashes deposited here – the last recorded emperor being Caracalla in 217 AD. The information and details on this page were last checked and/or updated on 20 February 2022. Facilities & Visiting Castel Sant'Angelo: Buying Tickets for Castel Sant'Angelo Small Group, Guided Tours of Castel Sant'Angelo What not to miss during your visit: The Mausoleum of Hadrian, now a popular museum in Rome. During the 3rd century AD, the mausoleum was incorporated into the Tiber fortifications. Various architectural features, prominent today were being added up until the 16th century. Consequently much of what visitors see today from the outside is not ancient at all; the ancient structure is preserved within and at the foot of the circular drum. Throughout the period between the 13th and 16th century, the following structures were added as the purpose of the building changed and developed: the upper half of the circular drum, the palace with its statue of archangel Michael, the four bastions on the corners of the podium, the castles curtain wall, and the ditch and outer triangular fortifications. After also being used as a prison, the building was decommissioned in 1901, and has been used as a museum ever since. You can purchase a skip-the-line ticket in advance online from GetYourGuide. With this ticket not only do you get to beat the queues, but you will be met at the entrance by greeter (hosts speak English, French, German, Italian and Spanish) who will take you through the entrance. There is no need to worry about anything. Included in the ticket is the option to cancel your ticket up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund, without paying an extra fee. Three thematic routes guide visitors through the castle: the mausoleum of Hadrian, the fortified castle and the papal apartments. When in the papal apartments do not miss Pope Clement VII's bathroom. Besides the antique style decoration of the room, from here you will get an excellent view of the passetto. Built in 1277 along the top of the ninth century wall, this passage was constructed to provide an escape route running between the Vatican and the Castle. The route of the passetto is marked out with blue pins in the map above, as it runs along Via dei Corridori. The passetto running from Castel Sant'Angelo to the Vatican alongside the Via dei Corridori. The passetto to the left of Saint Peter's Square leading to Castel Sant'Angelo in the distance.

Carriera Si è formato insieme ad Adriano Panatta, Massimo Di Domenico, Vittorio Crotta e Pietro Marzano come componente di un gruppo di giovani tennisti italiani inviati dalla federtennis ad addestrarsi in Australia tra il 1968 e l'inizio del 1969 . Ciò gli permise di partecipare ai South Australian Championships del 1968 ad Adelaide dove, al primo turno, batté in cinque set lo spagnolo Manolo Orantes (4-6 7-5 4-6 10-8 6-4). Fu poi sconfitto nel turno seguente dall'australiano Brian White in cinque set. Nel circuito maggiore non andò mai oltre il secondo turno. La sua vittoria più importante la ottenne all'esordio dell'edizione 1973 degli Internazionali d'Italia, dove sconfisse in tre set lo statunitense Paul Gerken, per poi essere eliminato in 2 partite dal britannico Roger Taylor. Il suo miglior risultato nelle prove del Grande Slam fu il secondo turno al Roland Garros del 1969 dove fu sconfitto al secondo turno in tre partite dall'ungherese Istvan Gulyas, dopo aver battuto al primo il connazionale Giuseppe Merlo in 5 set.

Q: Inserting more than one data field in a sorted data structure What is the best data structure to use when you need to insert more than 1 (like 10) data fields in a node and have the nodes to be stored in the ascending order of their key? A: In general, inserts element need 3 steps: * *locate where to insert *insert it *adjust data structure if needs If the inserting elements have regularity(like all elements equals, It will save 1. locate where to insert time in linked list), but time complexity still O(n). If the inserting elements have no regularity, it random enough. There is no difference between inserting one and insert batch. So in one word, there is no special data structure for batch inserting. but you can improve Constant Time Complexity in some special conditions. PS: common sorted data structure is balanced binary tree, spends O(logn) time complexity when updating

Carolyn Ruppel, PhD Research Geophysicist Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center Email: cruppel@usgs.gov 384 Woods Hole Rd. Woods Hole, Massachusetts 02543 Methane hydrates and methane seeps Gas hydrates, environmental change, energy resources Marine heat flow Marine Acoustics/Environmental Compliance I lead the USGS Gas Hydrates Project, which is jointly funded by the Coastal-Marine Hazards and Resources Program and the Energy Resources Program. Project scientists in Woods Hole, Denver, Menlo Park, and Santa Cruz study natural methane hydrate. Hydrate is a potential energy resource, has synergies with global climate, and may play a role in some marine geohazards. My primary research focus is on the interaction between methane hydrates (and methane seeps) on one hand and the ocean-atmosphere system on the other. I focus particularly on the US Atlantic and US Pacific margins, as well as Arctic Ocean margins (US Beaufort Sea and Svalbard). I also work on energy issues related to gas hydrates (including delineating their distribution in marine sediments; 2018 MATRIX seismic program on US Atlantic margin), the coexistence of permafrost (including subsea) and hydrates (Beaufort Sea), and reservoir properties of hydrate-bearing sediments. As a side specialty, I assist with programmatic environmental compliance for USGS marine acoustics surveys. During my career, I have also worked on marine heat flow data acquisition and analysis, other aspects of the hydrogeology of gas hydrate systems, and coastal zone hydrogeophysics (particularly tidal pumping, inductive EM data, and saline intrusion in surficial aquifers). My earliest work focused on numerical modeling of large scale tectonic processes and associated particle tracking, continental rifting, and marine analogs for continental tectonic processes.

French City Installs 187 Solar Panels to Save on Energy Costs, Forgets to Connect Them Officials in the French city of Roubaix recently revealed that the 187 photovoltaic panels that were supposed to generate green electricity for the local library had been installed six months ago, but not connected to the building's electrical grid… In June of 2019, thew city of Roubaix announced with great fanfare that it had acquired 187 solar panels meant to generate part of the electricity required by the local library. The panels were installed by local company Sunretec at a cost of 103,000 euros ($113,000), but somehow everyone forgot to actually connect them to the library's electrical grid, which means that for six months the panels didn't produce any of the electricity consumed by the Roubaix library. French Coffee House Owner Refuses to Sell His Life's Work – A Story of Courage Although his is the only standing building in what used to be an old neighborhood of Roubaix, in Northern France, Salah Oudjani refuses to sell the coffee house he has worked in for the last 46 years. The title doesn't sound like anything special, after all, many people refuse to have their property demolished, at least in the beginning, until they get a good price or they notice everyone else is selling except them. But for the 71-year-old business owner neither of the above reasons were good enough. The two-story triangular building once located at the intersection of two streets appears to be the only survivor of a serious air raid. Everything around it has been turned to rubble and taken to local landfills, brick by brick, and Oudjani's place looks like it's the only sign of life in a wasteland. Like all the other residents, the café owner has received numerous proposals for his property, but he never even considered selling it. "I will not sell! I worked for it, this coffee house. They will not make me go, I'm used to pressure" Oudjani says, and everyone knows he means it. French Town Inaugurates Bubble Hotel Rooms in Local Park By Spooky onAugust 3rd, 2011 Category: News, Travel The French town of Roubaix, has recently opened a series of portable hotel rooms in a local park. They can be rented by people who want to feel close to nature in the middle of the urban jungle. The bubble concept thought up by French designer Pierre Stephane Dumas aims to redefine the term temporary leisure accommodation, and is based on the following principles: minimum energy, minimum material, maximum comfort and maximum interaction with the environment. The unusual bubble rooms were launched in 2010 and have since then been made available to people who want to enjoy a unique experience in the middle of nature, for around $700 a night. In the French city of Roubaix, a series of bubble hotel rooms have been installed in one of the local parks. They come with a clear view of the sky and offer nature lovers to be close to their environment without having to travel to far away. The bubbles are made of recycled plastic and, once inflated retain their shape thanks to an airlock at the entrance and a silent pump which creates constant pressure. Outside noises are reduced to a minimum while inside noises are maximized, so the visitors are encouraged to whisper to each other, in order to create a peaceful atmosphere.

John Rollo M.D. (d. December 23, 1809) was a Scottish military surgeon, now known for his work on a diabetic diet. Rollo was the first to suggest a low-carbohydrate diet as a treatment for diabetes. Life He was born in Scotland, and received his medical education at Edinburgh. He became a surgeon in the Royal Artillery in 1776, and then served in the West Indies. In 1778 the University of St Andrews made him M.D. He was stationed in St. Lucia in 1778–9 and in Barbados in 1781. His associates included Colin Chisholm on Grenada. Rollo became surgeon-general of the Royal Artillery in 1794, and returned to the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich. There he oversaw the construction of the enlarged Royal Artillery Hospital: the Royal Ordnance Hospital dated from about 1780, and the enlargement was completed in 1806 (the building later became the Connaught Barracks). From 1804 he was inspector of hospitals for the Ordnance. Rollo was frequently consulted about cases of diabetes, and in treatment had some success with the use of a nitrogenous diet. He died at Woolwich on 23 December 1809, and was buried at Plumstead in Greenwich. Diabetes In 1797 Rollo printed at Deptford Notes of a Diabetic Case, which described the improvement of an officer with diabetes who was placed on a meat diet. He was the first to take Matthew Dobson's discovery of glycosuria in diabetes mellitus and apply it to managing metabolism. By means of Dobson's testing procedure (for glucose in the urine) Rollo worked out a diet that had success for what is now called type 2 diabetes. The addition of the term "mellitus", distinguishing the condition from diabetes insipidus, has been attributed to Rollo. Rollo's diet for diabetic patients consisted of "milk, lime water, bread and butter, blood pudding, meat, and rancid fat". He has been described as "the first one to recommend a diet low in carbohydrates as a treatment for diabetes." Rollo collaborated with William Cruickshank, who was the chemistry assistant at Woolwich. In another edition of the work, An Account of Two Cases of the Diabetes Mellitus, published in 1798, other cases were added, and some of Cruikshank's research on urine and sugar in diabetics was included. A further edition appeared in 1806. John Latham supported Rollo's views on the treatment. In 1824 the Encyclopædia Britannica in its article "Dietetics" commented that the diet was successful in repressing the condition of the patients' urine, but that the patients often found the high fat content intolerable. This kind of dietary management continued to the 1920s, being more successful for adults, who might survive some years, than for young patients who typically had only some months of life on it. Other collaborations of Rollo and Cruikshank related to treatments for syphilis involving acids, and published with the work on diabetes; proteinuria; and strontium. Other work Rollo published Observations on the Diseases in the Army on St. Lucia, in 1781; and in 1785 Remarks on the Disease lately described by Dr. Hendy, on a form of elephantiasis known as "Barbados leg". In 1786 he published Observations on the Acute Dysentery. Rollo published in 1801 a Short Account of the Royal Artillery Hospital at Woolwich. He had kept a record of his cases in Barbados, and the Account included a similar table for the Ordnance hospital. In 1804 a Medical Report on Cases of Inoculation supported the views of Edward Jenner. References Further reading Alexander Marble. (1989. John Rollo. In: von Engelhardt D.

The Chennault Aviation and Military Museum (CAMM) and the Ouachita Parish School System Talented Art Program recently partnered to present the American Spirit Challenge Student Competition. The competition is in conjunction with the annual juried art exhibition that the Talented Art Program holds showcasing student artwork. CAMM Director, Adrienne LaFrance-Wells said, "We are thrilled to have the opportunity to encourage these students to consider the brave sacrifices that were made to preserve the freedoms that they enjoy every day by creating these beautiful works of art. Showcasing the young talent in our area is so important, as is promoting patriotism among our youth." The Northeast Louisiana Arts Council conducted judging so judges could remain objective. Prize awards were sponsored by Homeland Bank, the Selman Field Historical Association and the Fort Miro Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The first prize winner, Alison Lau of Sterlington High School, chose WWII Hump Pilot, J.V. Vinyard, as her portrait subject. Vinyard spoke to around 500 students and parents at the Student Services Center art reception about his time flying over the Himalayan Mountains as the supply line in China during the war. CAMM has an exhibit on Vinyard in the Chennault exhibit room. Han Vu of Ouachita Parish High School won Second prize for a portrait of her father who served in the South Vietnamese Air Force in the Vietnam War. West Ouachita High School student, Christina Ford, won third for her charcoal of WWII veteran, Cornelius Glenn Whitley, CPL US Marine Corps. Woodmen of the World is a sponsor locally for National History Day, providing cash prizes for students. All students were recognized at a reception at the Chennault Museum.

Home / News / MPs hear mum's story of hard-work and education MPs hear mum's story of hard-work and education Inspirational young mum Chevonne Lawson has been telling MPs how she transformed herself - from an 'in care' troubled youth to an adult learner studying for a degree in Criminology. Chevonne and her Sunderland College lecturer of five years Katherine Bone headed for a Parliamentary Reception at the House of Commons as part of National Adult Learners Week. The 22-year-old mum is studying for a degree in Criminology but not that long ago she was in care and pregnant. She was invited to the event in London after winning a national award that recognised her hard work and dedication. Chevonne, from Town End Farm, Sunderland, said: "Attending the reception at the Houses of Parliament was quite an experience and something I couldn't have imagined doing just a few years ago. "I had quite a troubled upbringing and after a violent relationship life wasn't quite going the way I planned. "There was a lot of trouble on the estate where I lived and when I found out I was pregnant I decided I didn't want the same for my daughter Saskia, now four. "I needed a change and enrolled on a Level 1 Connect course at Sunderland College and I've never looked back. "I've worked hard and kept at it and the support and advice I've been given from staff at Sunderland College has been second to none." Chevonne learning while at school was hampered due to dyslexia and dyspraxia but with excellent support from Sunderland College she is now studying for a degree in Criminology at Sunderland University. Now engaged to fiancé Gavin and mum to a son, also called Gavin aged two and step-mum to her fiancées daughter Katie, seven, she wants to put her experiences to good use by setting up her own courses to work with youth offenders and the homeless. Lecturer Katherine said: "Chevonne's story is fantastic and shows what can be achieved with commitment, hard work and the level of support offered at Sunderland College. "Chevonne is one of many adult learners we have at the College who are shaping their futures, and doing it while working, caring for young children, and in some cases both. "We try our very best at Sunderland College to help all our students, whatever their individual circumstances, to be the best that they can be through a programme of quality education, teaching and support." Michelle Elliott, Head of Employer and Employability at Sunderland College, said: "The College has a lot to offer adult learners. "We have a generous support package and can help people with all they need to know about fees and financing. "We aim to make getting higher and adult education qualifications as fuss free as possible." The achievements of all adult learners are being recognised across the College. One learner who is celebrating is Wayne Barber. Wayne was made redundant as a miner from Easington Colliery nearly 20 years ago and has been unemployed ever since. The 53-year-old has now enrolled on a construction course and is enjoying learning new skills that he hopes will land him permanent employment. Wayne said: "Returning to education has shown me that you're never too old to learn something new. "I find learning stimulating and for the first time in a long time I'm feeling positive about getting out and looking for work. "I'm keen to put my new skills to the test."

The first book in the re-launched WITF Pick of the Month is "Beautiful Boy: A Father's Journey Through His Son's Addiction" by David Sheff. This is a deeply honest and moving firsthand account of how a young man's addiction to drugs affects his health, his family, and their community. This selection ties directly into WITF's ongoing "Real Life Real Issues: Drugs and Young People" project. "Beautiful Boy" is an unflinching look at author David Sheff, his son Nic, and their family's battle with Nic's drug addiction. It demonstrates the importance of a family's love in helping a young addict with his struggles, while also showing that no matter how strong the family may be, they can't make the addict change. The book alternates between Sheff's work as an accomplished journalist trying to understand addiction and recovery, and his struggles as a father with the very real possibility that Nic will never get better. Nic Sheff was a charming, funny kid, a varsity athlete, and an honor student, but he hid a growing addiction to drugs, primarily methamphetamines, that nearly killed him. Looking back, the father sees the subtle warning signs, including late night disappearances, evasions, and denials that would lead to deeper troubles. While trying to help Nic, David develops his own addiction - obsession with his son's addiction - which has additional consequences for their family. Nic has also written about his own addiction, first in his autobiography "Tweak: Growing Up on Methamphetamines" and then his follow-up about his relapses and continuing struggles in "We All Fall Down: Living With Addiction."

Webster's Knucklehead keeps it all in the family Will Cleveland @WillCleveland13 On Saturday afternoon, the entire staff at Knucklehead Brewing in Webster consisted of the Dummer family. Father Len, the brewery founder, was working behind the bar with his wife, Kathy. Oldest son, Jacob, one of Knucklehead's brewers, was also pouring drinks. Youngest son, Joshua, a chef with professional experience at places like Wegmans' Next Door Bar and Grill, was running the newly-opened kitchen. The place was packed. Everyone, not hyperbole, was smiling. I was smiling. It was just a happy place to be. In Knucklehead, you feel like you're part of the Webster community, because that's how the Dummer family wants you to feel. "Being able to work with family, and I speak for George also, is the best," said Len Dummer, an affable gentleman, who was sporting a cheeky doctor costume to celebrate Halloween. "My wife is my best friend. So working with her and both of my sons, it's a true blessing. Both of my sons had careers that they quit to come into the family business. It's a true blessing. I can't explain it to people." Dummer notes that working with family can present some challenges, but he wouldn't change a thing. "There are arguments between me and my sons," Dummer said. "My youngest son and I had a behind-the-scenes argument yesterday, but not of that matters. It's because we're so much alike. At the end of the day, I always get a hug from them. They say, 'I love you.' It's huge." Len, a Webster resident, founded the brewery with his long-time neighbor, George Cline. Cline's family also works at the brewery. Knucklehead is planning a big blowout for their first anniversary party in December. I've come away impressed with Knucklehead's beers on my previous visits. Each of the beers is well-executed and clean. I might not like how big some of the hoppy beers are in the malt backbone, but I can appreciate a well-crafted beer that is sure to please a wide audience. Knucklehead's most recent seasonal beer is a winner. The Dark Shadow is a maple syrup vanilla bean porter that screams to be enjoyed with pancakes. You could probably substitute the beer for your maple syrup and come away pretty darn happy. At 7.4 percent alcohol, it's a really nice fall beer. The maple treatment, brewed with gallons of New York dark maple syrup (added after the boil to preserve maximum viscosity and maple flavor), is outstanding. I would've liked a tad more body and a tad more roasted malt character, but it's the first time Knucklehead has done the beer and I know it will be heartier in the future. Len Dummer told me that there are more plans to use more vanilla beans in the future. That would compliment the maple flavor perfect. As it stands now, you get a kiss of vanilla in the finish. But more would definitely help. Webster has embraced Knucklehead. I have, too. It took me too long to make a return visit, but you can be assured that I will return soon (especially with the kitchen, which features housemade soups, paninis, sandwiches, and pretzels, now open). Dummer is one of those people that you instantly connect with, and it's probably what makes him such a natural to own a brewery. He's always quick with a joke. He's always smiling, and it's probably why his patrons have embraced Knucklehead. "When people ask me what's my favorite thing, I love making beer, I love making friends, I love making our customers happy, I love creating a good environment, but it's all about family. That's the biggest bang for my buck. WCLEVELAND@Gannett.com

Johnson Controls, Inc. (JCI) Is Going Nowhere. Here's Why. Sales at America's automakers have been going great guns these past few quarters, and you'd think that would be great news for the companies that make parts for all these shiny new autos. In some cases, you'd be right to think that. But in at least one case — the case of Johnson Controls, Inc. (NYSE:JCI) stock — you'd be very, very wrong. Shares of auto-parts makers such as Lear (NYSE:LEA) and Magna International (NYSE:MGA) have rocketed this past year, outperforming the S&P 500 with 46% and 56% returns, respectively. Yet Johnson Controls, Inc. (NYSE:JCI) stock has lagged the market average by more than five points. Why? Three reasons. Johnson Controls stock is worse than average Turns out that when you stack up Johnson Controls, Inc. (NYSE:JCI) stock against its two smaller rivals, there's precious little to recommend it. Johnson Controls' P/E ratio of 27.8 is no bargain. It's more than twice the cost of a share of Magna (which costs 10.5 times earnings), and nearly six times the cost of Lear, which sells for only 4.7 times earnings. Worse, when you lay the three companies side-by-side, you can plainly see that Johnson Controls, Inc. (NYSE:JCI) generates far less real cash profit than its rivals do. Its free cash flow yield is the worst of the bunch: JCI Free Cash Flow Yield data by YCharts Johnson Controls grows too slow Johnson Controls, Inc. (NYSE:JCI) stock is no great shakes when valued on more traditional "GAAP" earnings, either. Fact is, over the past five years Johnson Controls stock is the only one of the three that has seen earnings actually decline: Johnson Controls stock is going nowhere Of course, there's still the old investing truism to consider — that investing isn't about what a stock has done in the past, but what it might do in the future. Problem is, despite the shrinking earnings that are giving it a smaller earnings base to grow from in the future, Johnson Controls stock is still expected to be the slowest grower of the group: So once again, we find Johnson Controls, Inc. (NYSE:JCI) stock occupying last place in a losing race. Johnson Controls Inc (JCI)Lear Corp (LEA)Magna International Inc (MGA)NYSE:JCINYSE:LEANYSE:MGAShow more...Show less Johnson Controls, Inc.

How many playbooks do I need? Hi all, first time posting here, and, I'm still very new to PbtA, but, I've played Dungeon World, ran a teeny tiny bit of Urban Shadows, and have been reading AW. I'm starting a PbtA hack, as I really love to work with game systems and build on them, and am going to start running it for my meatspace group soon, I have enough of it functional for them to dive into, but, I'm running into an issue of, AW has soooo many playbooks, to really give enough options for different characters, it seems like I should have a similar number. I have 7 playbooks mostly nailed down (though I expect them to go through changes), but, that feels like not enough to avoid eventually having a lot of overlap in characters because there's just not that much to choose from. I can kinda think of a potential number 8 & maybe 9, but, beyond that, really not coming to me for this game. So, is there an ideal number of playbooks? Is 7 or even 9 really just not enough variety? Should I be stressing about this? Re: How many playbooks do I need? I could see a game with just 4 playbooks, if that game is about just playing those 4 archetypes. 7 playbooks widen the field, but is still pretty focused. Players have a choice when the game starts, but there is not a lot of choices if they can change playbooks during play (can they change playbooks during play?) Though this also depends on how flexible the playbooks are. Can a player pick the same playbook as another player, and most of the time not be stepping on that player's toes? Original AW has 11 playbooks (if I'm counting correctly), with 5+ more extended playbooks. They run the gamut from hyper-violent to very social, from loner to leader to team player. So even if they aren't that flexible, you can play a lot of different scenarios. Main thing is I have 6 players (and an extra that occasionally visits when we have an extra seat open), but... they like to sometimes switch up characters too, which makes it possibly a bigger issue if I really want niche protection. Anyhow, good to know it isn't like there's some established minimum that there really needs to be beyond maybe 4, and I suppose with a group like this perhaps I'll have to accept some overlap for a while. I'll try not to stress on it. I'm starting to have more ideas come to mind... wrote another playbook today and realised I could actually go in some very different directions with this than what I was initially thinking. If I was designing something for a specific bunch of players, and giving them the choice of finished playbooks (rather than designing specific characters with/for each of them) then I'd try to make sure I had half again as many playbooks as players, so they get the illusion of choice, while making sure that whatever combination they chose produced a viable party. That's tricky in abstract, because a group of six bricks doesn't work, and a team without a brick might struggle - but since you know your players you can cheat a little. For a specific group I'd go with working with them to make specific (and clearly different) archetypes using Simpleworld. If you are looking for an excuse and a deadline to make a hack, then what I do is choose the stats, than generate every permutation of major and minor stats for a playbook. So 2 stats means four playbooks, 3 stats means 9 (which is what I used - Fighter, Thief and Wizard).

Binocular Waves is an artistic research project about binocular vision – being able to see with two eyes. The project explores what happens when we present two different images to left and right eye using a VR Headset. Depending on their similarities and differences these two images fuse, compete or coexist in the conscious visual perception creating different binocular phenomena. Here you can watch my presentation on Binocular Waves which was made at International Symposium on Electronic Arts 2018 in Durban, South Africa. Binocular Waves focuses on artistic exploitation of this phenomena and tries to create inspiration for scientific research on vision and on consciousness. Binocular Dreams, experiment to reproduce dream phenomena, such as dream elements with multiple identities, so called "interobjects", by presenting each identity of the element to another eye. Binocular Rivers, exploring new ways of animated painting, playing with movement and time using stereoscopic imagery. All animation videos in these series are stereoscopic 360° animation videos. This means that each one of these animations is consisting of two separate 360° videos for left and right eyes. "Binocular disparity" is difference of image location of an object seen by the left and right eyes, resulting from the distance between two eyes (parallax) and makes the perception of depth (stereopsis) possible. However, when two significantly different images are presented to left and right eyes one of the following perception phenomena may occur: a) "Binocular Fusion" two images are perceived as an averaged merge of two. b) "Binocular Transparency" they merge into a superimposition. c) "Binocular Rivalry" the images compete and alternate in perceptual awareness. The work is the result of a long observation quastioning process. From early childhood on my left and right has strong myopia and astigmatism with different diopter levels. I had also two surgical retinal and lens interventions on my left eye resulting from injury. The interventions resulted into more differences between my left and right eye vision. This phenomenon made me curious whether images with interocular differences can be reproduced in visual art. I think this research can make the impairment and the improvement of vision with interocular differences perceivable for people without significant differences.

Reflexology is based on the principle that reflex points on the soles, tops, and sides of the feet correspond to different areas of the body. In this way, the feet can be seen as a 'map' of the body. By applying specialised massage techniques to specific reflex points – using the thumbs, fingers and knuckles – the aim of a reflexology treatment is to help restore balance to the body naturally, and improve the client's general well-being. We start with a full consultation, asking various questions about your health and lifestyle, to ensure reflexology is right for you. For the treatment itself you will remain fully clothed, simply removing your shoes and socks. You'll be invited to relax on a reclining chair or treatment couch, or to put your feet up on a footstool. We will gently clean your feet before applying a fine powder, cream of oil, to help provide a free-flowing treatment, and then start gently massaging and stretching your feet and ankles. As the treatment progresses, a variety of different reflexology techniques will be used to 'work' the reflex points on each foot, including a caterpillar-like movement called 'thumb walking'. The areas treated and pressure applied will be adapted to suit your individual needs. Treatment generally lasts for 45 minutes to an hour, though shorter reflexology sessions may be more appropriate in some instances.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/china-pushes-smaller-cities-to-attract-rural-migrants-1450022515 China Pushes Smaller Cities to Attract Rural Migrants Beijing aims to ease population pressure on its biggest urban areas and a glut of new homes elsewhere While property prices are recovering in Shanghai and some other major Chinese cities, years of overbuilding plague most other urban areas. Photo: Agence France-Presse/Getty Images Esther Fung BiographyEsther Fung @estherfung Dec. 13, 2015 11:01 am ET SHANGHAI—China is trying to alleviate a pair of knotty problems—population pressure on its biggest cities and a glut of new homes elsewhere—by getting smaller urban areas to offer housing discounts to attract migrants from the countryside. Encouraged by Beijing, some local governments are rolling out a range of housing subsidies, tax waivers and lower mortgage rates to attract new residents. In Fuyang, an urban district near the well-off eastern provincial capital of Hangzhou, the government is providing a one-time housing subsidy of as much as 800,000 yuan ($123,874) for new residents with certain qualifications who buy homes in the area. The central city of Luoyang is subsidizing deed tax payments and mortgage costs for rural migrants buying homes in the city. The push by Beijing is intended to address a problem that has cropped up in recent years as people leave the countryside for the cities for work: Most want to go to the largest, most prosperous cities, putting a strain on infrastructure and services in those places. Meanwhile, large parts of the rest of the country are overbuilt. A result of this divergence is that, while property prices are recovering in Beijing, Shanghai and some other major cities, years of overbuilding plague most other urban areas and amount to a sizable drag on the economy. "It is becoming clear to Chinese officials that the property sector still retains an important role in stabilizing the economy," said Chen Sheng, who heads the government-backed China Real Estate Data Academy. "The idea is to stabilize, not to overly stimulate the economy." While housing sales have rebounded this year, investment in real-estate development has slowed to 1.3% in the first 11 months this year from the same period a year earlier, while construction starts declined 14.7% over the same period. Last month, President Xi Jinping told a meeting of economic and financial officials that China must resolve the housing inventory situation and ensure the health of the property sector. The efforts to divert rural migrants to smaller cities comes amid a renewed effort by Beijing to improve the treatment given to rural migrants. The State Council, the government's executive body, over the weekend issued new guidelines for local governments, telling them to offer a more comprehensive package of benefits, from housing loans to social services, to incoming residents, who may not have the proper household registration documents, known as a hukou. The hukou system was imposed decades ago to keep rural Chinese out of cities, when China was much poorer. It has evolved into a benefits management system, defining access to health care, employment, education and other social benefits. Typically those benefits are better for those with an urban hukou, and the current system has been widely criticized as unfair by often denying holders of a rural hukou access to those services in the cities to which they move. Smaller cities have in the past tried to draw in rural migrants by offering them urban hukou. But still migrants have preferred larger cities with more vibrant job markets. And some analysts have said that cities will have to do more than offer lower housing prices. Liu Dan, a Hangzhou-based fashion designer in her mid-20s, says that apart from housing costs, she will have to assess job prospects, social networks and proximity to her family in the northwestern region of Xinjiang before considering settling down in a city. "It is about being familiar with a place," said Ms Liu, who has worked in Shanghai and Qingdao before. "I've been in Hangzhou for more than a year now, but I'm still not used to this place." Some analysts have voiced skepticism that urbanization will cure China's housing surplus, noting that in some places, it is becoming more difficult to get rural dwellers to uproot themselves. "There is a perception that there isn't much benefit moving into the city," said Song Huiyong, research director at property consultancy Shanghai Centaline Property, adding that smaller housing units and mediocre employment prospects stemming from a slowing economy deter them too. "They also know their rural land is worth more now, and are unwilling to give up those rights." Many of these subsidies are temporary, lasting only a few months as questions remain on how local governments could raise money to foot the bill for these costs. Some local governments have also asked state-owned firms and financial institutions including policy banks to help with these costs. Write to Esther Fung at esther.fung@wsj.com

Cut my legs off and call me shorty! is an exhibition that explores elements of humour and surprise. The five Swedish based artists included work with ideas and ways of making that force us to look and look again. Opening at June 17th! Exhibition period: June 17th - September 19th 2009 Cut my legs off and call me shorty! is an exhibition that explores elements of humour and surprise. The thirteen Swedish based artists included work with ideas and ways of making that force us to look and look again. We may think we have understood an image but when we allow ourselves a closer examination there are unexpected twists, shocking details, hidden pratfalls, double and triple meanings. The exhibition is in two parts there are 5 artists showing in the main hall who work with photography, painting and illustration: * Susanna Hesselberg * Ulf Lundin * Emma Rendel * Ulla West * Kristoffer Zetterstrand Ulla West uses a mix of old and new technology in her work including fine art techniques, craft practices as well as new media. Her methods are documentary, they are investigations related to phenomenon, situations or things that just occur. Associations and unexpected ideas are important in the process. Often her art projects start as an investigation and documentation with the purpose to relate to a certain situation or as a way to handle everyday life. The work itself often leads to unexpected materials, ideas and collaborations and the projects can last for years. Kristoffer Zetterstrand has always worked in painting and more recently has begun to experiment with virtual still lifes and how two-dimensionality works in relation to computer generated 3D worlds. He is interested in spaces that are created online, in computer games and 3D programs - particularly when illusions begin to break down and the underlying construction is revealed - like when the program encounters a bug. His work has also found him looking at the relations of virtuality to the iconic works of Piero della Francesca, Giovanni Bellini and other renaissance artists. Emma Rendel is one of the most distinctive graphic artists working today. Her graphic novels have been published by her own publishing company Awkwardbooks and by Jonathan Cape in England and Kartago in Sweden. Her storytelling finds its origins in fragments she overhears, memories from childhood, and stories that people tell her. Her narratives are often dark and filled with a morbid curiosity as well as a cutting sense of humour. Ulf Lundin's work can be characterised by an extreme attention to detail and a fascination with how the process of photography captures a moment. Whilst the contents of his work may often been seen as mundane or commonplace the works become magical, extraordinary, fantastic and painterly. In a similar vein his videos deal with daily routines and every day social conditions raised to a level of the remarkable and the peculiar. Susanna Hesselberg originally trained as a painter and she brings much of that attention and aesthetic sensibility to her photographic work. Often working with careful constructed staging and manufactured props Hesselberg uses the power of photographic manipulation but without resorting to computer graphics. The results are often disturbing disruptions in the flow of everyday life often focusing on interpersonal relationships and the body. The second part of the exhibition is a selection of Swedish video art curated by Gunnel Pettersson in association with Film Form and includes works from 1962 - 2009 and includes: Henrik Andersson, Reuben Henry, Tove Kjellmark, Karin Kihlberg, Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd, Malin Skjöld, Per Teljer, Christine Ödlund We have taken the following quote by American writer E.B. White as good advice for the show. "Analyzing humour is like dissecting a frog. Few people are interested and the frog dies of it".

Jimmy Olsen as the Guardian Revealed in 'Supergirl' Season 2 Jimmy Olsen as the Guardian Revealed in Supergirl Season 2 — October 12th, 2016 The Supergirl Season 2 Premiere on The CW set a ratings record for the network on Monday night, setting the tone for the season ahead. During a press screening for the second episode on Tuesday, executive producer Andrew Kreisberg revealed that Mehcad Brooks' Jimmy Olsen will in fact become the DC Comics hero The Guardian, signalling yet another big shift between Jimmy's character in the comics and the series. Earlier today, Mehcad Brooks himself took to social media, to give fans the first look at Jimmy suited up as The Guardian. This new Instagram photo reveals that The Guardian costume will be much different than the comics as well. The character was originally created by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon, portrayed as a Metropolis cop named Jim Harper who covered the Suicide Slum section of the city, before he became a vigilante to protect the city from its criminals. Andrew Kriesberg teased at yesterday's screening (via TV Line), that he won't be telling Kara Zor-El (Melissa Benoist) his secret. Here's what he had to say below. "James is going to decide that he can no longer be a sidekick, so he's going to become a vigilante. He's going to become Guardian, complete with the shield, which is going to cause a massive problem in his relationship with Kara because he decides not to tell her. There's this new masked vigilante, and she has her own feelings about vigilantes. ... And he's recruited Winn to help him. Winn is his man in the van. Winn and James together is like comedy gold." This comes after the events in the season premiere, where both Kara ended her romantic relationship with Jimmy, which will certainly become more complicated with Jimmy keeping this vigilante secret from Kara. When asked why they decided to put an end to the Jimmy Olsen romance, Andrew Kreisberg said they were pursuing that relationship for the wrong reasons. Here's what he had to say below. Related: Jon Cryer as Lex Luthor Revealed in Supergirl Season 4 "We sort of felt like we were pursuing that relationship more because we felt like we had to than any of us was really truly feeling it. We realized the best scenes between them were the nice, sweet scenes where they were being friends." While we don't know exactly when they will happen yet, Supergirl will be involved in two different crossovers this season, one with Arrow, The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow, where all four heroes will face The Dominators, and a musical crossover with The Flash. We also don't know when Jimmy Olsen will transform into The Guardian, but we'll keep you posted with more details.

Rye motel to undergo 'authentic 1950s renovation' Elizabeth Dinan edinan@seacoastonline.com @DinanElizabeth RYE�� Four months after opening his fourth local hotel, Doug Palardy announced he's buying the Pebble Cove Motel on Ocean Boulevard, it will undergo "an authentic 1950s renovation," then reopen July 1 as the Rye Motor Inn & Swim Club. "I've always loved design," said Palardy, whose interiors lean toward modern, even when they're in historic buildings. "I studied theatrical design, sets and costumes, at Bennington College, so design is really part of my DNA since childhood." Palardy said he's had his eye on the 10-room 1958 motel for five years and asked owners Stephen and Beth McCann annually if they'd sell. After a quarter century of running the 741 Ocean Blvd. motel, the McCanns said yes. Now plans call for Palardy's makeover to an authentic "60s beach, surf, bungalow vibe." He's thinking about rattan beds, velvet and Eames-style chairs, and kitschy kitchenettes; all sustenance for future Instagram-hungry guests. He'll keep the 1950s and 60s color schemes and the furniture will be new, but in the style of 1958 through 1963. "That's the five-year period of interior design I'm going for," he said. "I grew up in a 1960s mobile home in Vermont with wood-panel walls. My mother hated them, but now I want to bring them back here.�� His Rye motel plans are similar to new retro destinations including The Thunderbird Inn in Savannah, Georgia, and The Dive Motel in Nashville, Tennessee. Palardy previously renovated the former Bow Street Inn into the Ale House Inn and the former Sise Inn into the Hotel Portsmouth, then sold both. He currently owns and operates the six-suite Great Island Inn in New Castle, where the decor is coastal Scandinavian, inside an 1820 home he renovated across from the Town Hall. In August, he announced the opening of The Inn Downtown, with urban decor inside the 1809 Nutter-Rymes House, formerly the Blue Mermaid, in downtown Portsmouth's The Hill neighborhood, comprised of homes salvaged from urban renewal demolition.� He said he's now thrilled to be planning a vintage makeover, to a mid-century space, as a preservation project for "one of the last motels in Rye." "Most on the Seacoast are getting leveled for condos or other uses," Palardy said. "We bulldoze things from the 50s, 60s and 70s without even thinking about their historic significance. I think it's important to save something like this, from this era. Once they're gone, they're gone." Like The Inn Downtown, the reimagined Rye motel will be a continuation of his apart-hotel brand, Seacoast Apart-Hotels. They feature self check-in and check-out, all units equipped with kitchens and the feeling of being in an apartment. It will be open year-round and the pool will be heated to extend the swimming season beyond that in the nearby Atlantic and "bring people to Rye beyond July and August," he said. Palardy said travelers today rarely book week-long stays and younger travelers prefer short-stay road trips. He said the Rye Motor Inn & Swim Club will allow guests to drive up and stay for a day, weekend or longer. Car clubs, families and groups of friends can book the whole motel and "have the pool to yourself," he said. Palardy said he's seeking town approval to open an adults-only membership swim club for local residents he'd run through an app-based reservation sign-up model. Reservations would be made for specific time slots, reserve parking spaces and several locals have already asked about a seasonal membership, he said. He also plans to seek town approval to return a neon sign to the site, which he said was there during the motel's heyday. He said the sign will be larger than what's there now, but it would be an historically accurate addition to his renovation. "It's been a passion of mine to renovate a 1950s motel," he said. "We fetishize architecture that's over 100 years old on the Seacoast, but in another 40 years, this little motel will be 100 years old. It deserves to be saved." Progress of the motel's makeover will be posted to Instagram @ryemotorinn and at ryemotorinn.com.

Q: How to git clone with username and password in gitlab? I am using gitlab . I want to write a .bat file which contains all the steps so that I can automate all the process , which are as follows: * *open cmd.exe /k *git init *git clone https://username:password@gitlab.com/board.git ////// not working *git status The 3rd point that is git clone https.... is not working in gitBash anymore. I tried using git clone SSH ... and it is working which asked for the passphrase and after logging in it was about to clone the repo. As I want to automate the process by providing the login credentials by-default , how can it be achieved using SSH. Thank you. A: You will need to use access token. Gitlab doesn't allow to use password directly. git clone https://<username>:<token>@gitlab.com/group/project.git To create a Gitlab access token: * *Click your avatar at the top right corner, select Edit profile *On the left panel, select Access Tokens *Input the Token name and Expiration date (if any) *Check the read_repository checkbox *Click Create personal access token *Remember to save the access token, it appears only once A: Adding username before gitlab worked for me. It will ask password afterwards. git clone https://user@gitlab.com/project.git A: While generating keys I did give a passphrase. Simplest solution would be to generate key without passphrase and use it. Git clone over https should work but url from your example looks wrong. Go to your project page, choose Clone -> HTTPS url which should look like https://gitlab.com/<username or groupname>/<projectname>.git Let's say it is your user's private project and your user would be Julie, then url with credentials would be https://user:password@gitlab.com/julie/board.git Test url manually before you start writing your script. So going to your script example don't init anything just do for https clone: git clone https://user:password@gitlab.com/julie/board.git cd board git status or if you create ssh key without passphrase and set it on GitLab: git clone git@gitlab.com:gitlab.com/julie/board.git cd board git status

The slump of a shoulder; the twitch of a lip; a certain gaze. Some actions say it all without the need for words. But when so much daily human connection and communication occurs on this substratum of silence, what can we learn from what's left unsaid? It's a question for Valerie Manusov, a professor in the University of Washington's Department of Communication. Since joining the UW in 1993, she has studied how nonverbal actions affect interpersonal communications and, on a deeper level, how such discourse represents particular views about the nature of relationships and cultural values. "Some nonverbal behaviors are pragmatic—such as scratching an itch—but all of them can be given multiple meanings or mean multiple things," she says. In other words, when a friend or partner shifts positions on the couch, that movement could be from a desire to simply be more comfortable or due to the fact they had a bad day and want more personal space. But what Manusov says is often most telling—and consequently of most interest to her as a researcher—is how the other person sharing that space perceives that shift in position. Manusov says one of the challenges of her work as a professor who researches communication is establishing a method to understanding meaning: where it lies and how it is ascribed. Last year, Manusov taught graduate and undergraduate classes in nonverbal communication. This quarter, she is teaching a graduate class on interpersonal communication as well as the Communication Department undergraduate honors seminar—a program she also leads. "It's a sort of activism to try to help people see the role that they're playing in how they understand the world and how their own biases and narratives and perceptions about the world affecting how a situation or person is judged," she says. Another hurdle to that end is that people often feel they've been "communicating" their entire lives and consequently are not keen on taking on the topic in what Manusov believes is its deservedly more complex context. When people do begin to adopt a more mindful, introspective approach to communication, however, the outcomes are almost universally of great benefit. She came to study "mindfulness" almost by accident, after using the term in a paper on civility and the self. "I was interested in whether increases in mindfulness mean that we're less likely to jump to conclusions about nonverbal cues and more likely to stay more open to what something may mean so that we're less reactive to it," she says. An interest in this interplay of relationship and reaction is what led Manusov to study communication in the first place. Growing up in Los Angeles, she attended Venice High School—at the time the third-most naturally desegregated school in the U.S. But even with a student body reflective of Southern California's natural diversity of cultures, that didn't necessarily mean there weren't cultural cliques and preconceptions to be overcome. "With a lot of cultural diversity, we were faced at a relatively early age with some of the challenges of communicating across difference," she says. One of the ways the administration addressed those challenges was by holding a weekend-long mountain retreat for students each semester. The experience in turn influenced her decision to study communication as a freshman at UCLA, where she recalls being one of the few students at the school not actively studying to be news anchors. Eschewing mass communication, she was a part of a dedicated minority whose interests lay in communication's interpersonal side. Manusov found some perspective abroad, studying in Leeds, England as an undergraduate before returning to the north of England for two years after finishing her master's at Michigan state—teaching for two years in Sheffield before embarking on her Ph.D. For Manusov, the region's distinctive dialects and long-held cultural mores opened up a world of communicative nuance. Fascinating as it was, however, the region was caught in the economic turmoil in the wake of by Margaret Thatcher's government's attempt to close most of Britain's collieries and the miners' strike that followed 1984-85—widely deemed the most bitter industrial dispute in British history. It's a lesson that still informs Manusov's work to this day and one she says she sees as relevant to the present as it felt in Yorkshire three decades ago: many perspectives make up a conversation, but in order for it to be both constructive and instructive, it's important to be mindful about where, how, and why meaning can be missed or misconstrued. "It's really important to stop and look at what's going on within us that's making us react the way that we are." In the matter of articulating a more open and understanding future, it might be that a thoughtful silence speaks loudest of all. Valerie Manusov holds a B.A. in Communication from UCLA, a Master's in Communication from Michigan State, and Ph.D. in Communication from the University of Southern California. She is the co-editor of The Sage Handbook of Nonverbal Communication, and the editor or co-editor of two other volumes, The sourcebook of nonverbal measures: Going beyond words and Attribution, communication behavior, and close relationships. In 2008, she co-founded Hestia Retreat, a Vashon Island-based nonprofit that provides seasonal retreats and other opportunities for women, often free of charge.

Daily Correspondents UN House in Abuja returns to life eight years after Boko Haram attack Almost eight years after Boko Haram bombed the United Nations' House in Abuja, forcing the world body to abandon the place, agencies of the world body are gradually returning to the building, the UN Resident Coordinator, Edward Kallon has disclosed. Boko Haram insurgents had on Friday, 26 of August, 2011, bombed the UN building in Abuja, with a car bomb killing at least 21 and wounding 60 others in the process. Mr Kallon, who made the disclosure Wednesday in Abuja at an event to commemorate the 73rd Anniversary of the UN day, described the movement back to the UN House as a demonstration of the shared resilience of the UN and Nigeria against increasing violence and terrorism. "The 2018 UN Day is a very important day for the UN system in Nigeria as it underscores the excellent cooperation and partnership of the UN and Nigeria over the years. "Indeed this year's UN Day also marks the UN family partial move back to the UN House. "To the UN in Nigeria, the UN House is a symbol of the resilience of our extraordinary cooperation and partnership with the Government and people of Nigeria," he said. He explained that the UN building built by the Federal Government was occupied by the UN agencies in 2005 until the unfortunate bombing on Aug. 26, 2011. While he commended the Federal Government and the people of Nigeria for their commitment to rebuild the UN House, the envoy expressed the hope that the partial movement which commences with UNDP, UNICEF among others would inspire the staff to work better. The Minister of FCT, Mohammed Bello, described the event as significant as it marked the first time of gathering again at the building after the 2011 bombing of the place "The UN building stands out as the symbol of our resilience and unbroken promises in addressing various challenges we are facing as a nation," he said. The Minister who was represented by Umar Jubril, an official of the Ministry, congratulated the UN family on the return to the edifice, and assured them of their safety.

In a few days, US President Donald J. Trump will meet with his fellow heads of state and government from across the NATO alliance in Brussels, Belgium, and there is widespread concern that it will once again be a meeting where the United States is scornful of its allies and partners. Some even fear that this may be the beginning of the end of NATO and the bond between the United States and Europe. The flames have been fanned further by the recent G-7 meeting which ended in acrimony between the US president and the other leaders, the announced Trump-Putin summit in Helsinki a few days after the NATO summit, and whispers that the United States may pull its troops out of Germany in the coming years. Trump has, going back to when he was a Republican primary candidate, criticized NATO's members for not doing their fair share in terms of spending on defense, and stated that the Europeans get more out of NATO than the United States does. The president does indeed have a point when it comes to European defense spending, which has been in decline since the early 1990s, although it is again on the rise since 2014. And the uptick in European defense spending is something that the president could arguably take partial credit for, if he wished. But NATO is not about the United States doing Europe favors. It is an alliance created by the United States, and which has proven remarkably effective in transforming to, in great part, advancing American national security objectives. During the Cold War NATO stood as the bulwark against the Soviet Union in Europe during the multi-decade struggle between communism and the free world led by the United States. After the Cold War, NATO helped advance the vision set out by US President George H.W. Bush of a Europe whole, free, and at peace by inviting newly free countries of Eastern Europe to join the Alliance. And after the 9/11 attacks in the United States, NATO transformed again to take on the tough mission in Afghanistan alongside the United States. Well over a thousand non-US NATO soldiers lost their lives in that campaign. As a proportion of deployed forces, four NATO nations—Canada, the United Kingdom, Estonia, and Denmark—sustained higher casualty rates in Afghanistan than the United States did. NATO is also useful to the United States, even when the Alliance itself is not centrally involved in an operation. The US-led campaign against the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) includes contributions from a range of NATO allies. Over a third of the air strikes against ISIS in Iraq and Libya have been flown by NATO partner countries, something that is made possible by the habits of cooperation established and practiced inside NATO. The United States' European allies certainly do need to spend more on defense, and the president should push them to do it. But that is not to say that NATO is a burden for the United States. It has proven itself key to American national security objectives since the late 1940s. It is, after all, the United States' alliance.

Q: All data in a row. Move observations under each other I have the following data: data <- list(list(eventId = 8, subEventName = "Simple pass", tags = list( list(id = 1801)), playerId = 122671, positions = list(list( y = 50, x = 50), list(y = 53, x = 35)), matchId = 2057954, eventName = "Pass", teamId = 16521, matchPeriod = "1H", eventSec = 1.656214, subEventId = 85, id = 258612104), list(eventId = 8, subEventName = "High pass", tags = list(list(id = 1801)), playerId = 139393, positions = list( list(y = 53, x = 35), list(y = 19, x = 75)), matchId = 2057954, eventName = "Pass", teamId = 16521, matchPeriod = "1H", eventSec = 4.487814, subEventId = 83, id = 258612106)) I want to create a data frame out of this list. I use unlist(data), which creates a row with repeated variables. > unlist(data) eventId subEventName tags.id playerId positions.y positions.x positions.y "8" "Simple pass" "1801" "122671" "50" "50" "53" positions.x matchId eventName teamId matchPeriod eventSec subEventId "35" "2057954" "Pass" "16521" "1H" "1.656214" "85" id eventId subEventName tags.id playerId positions.y positions.x "258612104" "8" "High pass" "1801" "139393" "53" "35" positions.y positions.x matchId eventName teamId matchPeriod eventSec "19" "75" "2057954" "Pass" "16521" "1H" "4.487814" subEventId id "83" "258612106" Each observation starts with the eventId variable. So, basically I have to split the data into dataframes starting with eventId, and then moving those dataframes one under the other. I.e. having two observations in this case.

We have many public domain and commercial software packages installed on our systems, which are available to all users. However, users are allowed to download and install software packages in their own home directory, software usually only useful to them personally. There are a number of steps needed to install software. The make program gets its set of compile rules from a text file called Makefile which resides in the same directory as the source files. It contains information on how to compile the software, e.g. the compiler to use, the optimization level, whether to include debugging info in the executable, etc.. It also contains information on where to install the finished compiled binaries (executables), manual pages, data files, dependent library files, configuration files, etc. Some packages require you to edit the Makefile manually to set the final installation directory and any other parameters. However, many packages are now being distributed with the GNU configure utility. As the number of UNIX variants increased, it became harder to write programs which would be portable to all variants. Developers frequently did not have access to every system, and the characteristics of some systems changed from version to version. The GNU configure and build system simplifies the building of programs distributed as source code. All programs are built using a simple, standardized, two step process. The program builder need not install any special tools in order to build the program. cd to the directory containing the package's source code. Optionally, type make clean to remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory. The configure utility supports a wide variety of options. You can usually use the --help option to get a list of interesting options for a particular configure script. The only generic options you are likely to use are the --prefix and --exec-prefix options. These options are used to specify the installation directories. The directory named by the --prefix option will hold machine independent files such as documentation, data and configuration files. The directory named by the --exec-prefix option, (which is normally a subdirectory of the --prefix directory), will hold machine dependent files such as executables. This will install the files into the ~/units-1.7.4 directory you created earlier. As an example, convert 6 feet to meters. If you get the answer 1.8288, congratulations, it worked. Type ^c to exit the program. As you can see, the file is now 36 kbytes - a third of its original size. Two thirds of the binary file was debug code!!!

The football and netball trip to Barcelona at the start of the Easter break was a huge success. Ninety students from Years 7-13 travelled to Spain where they enjoyed specialised training, lots of competitive match play, a tour of Nou Camp Stadium, the opportunity to watch a professional game and time to explore both Barcelona and Girona. The newsletter for the spring term 2019 can be downloaded here. As always there has been so much going on at Ruskin - we hope you enjoy reading about some of the highlights. On 25th March , a group of 69 Year 7 students went on a French trip to the Opal Coast in Northern France for 3 days. On 13th March, Year 8 French students left the Academy in the early hours of the morning for a 3 day trip to Paris. The visit was packed with excursions such as the Arc de Triomphe, a trip to the top of the Montparnasse Tower, a stop at the Louvre to see the Mona Lisa, a guided tour around Paris with entry to Notre Dame and the Fragonard Perfumerie where students were shown how perfume was made. On Wednesday 13th March a group of keen Ruskin Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths students visited the NEC to attend The Big Bang Show. The students engaged in and enjoyed many 'hands on' opportunities provided by dozens of universities, businesses, colleges and schools from around the country. From coding to building air powered dragsters with the Bloodhound Land Speed Record Team, from medical procedures to working in deep sea conditions with members of the Armed Forces, controlling lunar vehicles a million miles away to finding out how far it is possible to travel on one litre of petrol. Our annual SOS fashion show, held on Monday 4th March, was a well-attended and fun filled evening as always. With all proceeds from ticket sales going to Fairview Farm (Grantham and District Mencap), we were delighted to welcome some residents and members of staff to the event. Ruskin's termly PSHE day took place on Wednesday 6th March. Students were all off their normal timetables and instead engaged in a wide variety of important and relevant topics specific to their age group. Deforestation, addiction, Brexit, overcoming adversity, importance of sleep, teamwork, democracy, healthy lifestyles, setting up a company….all angles of life were covered. Year 11 photographers recently returned from Kenya. From the Great Rift Valley and Lake Nakuru to the incredible Masai Mara you cannot fail to be touched by the genuine warmth and friendliness of the Kenyan people, the vast stunning landscapes that take your breath away and the spectacular wildlife that is unrivalled anywhere else in the world - a photographers dream! Ruskin GCSE and A Level geographers headed to Iceland at the start of February for a breath-taking trip that is sure to remain with them for many years to come. Iceland is one of the few places in the world where you can visit and interact with a tectonic plate boundary offering chances to study how tectonics operate and affect people's lives. During the trip they were able to visit and observe geographical processes across natural hazards, energy demands, coasts, rivers and physical geography topics, common to both the A Level and GCSE courses they are studying. The end of another busy term! We hope you enjoy reading our latest newsletter.

Horse Bandages and more. All at Horseland. • Improperly applied wraps can do a lot of damage, and if the wrap is too tight, the blood supply to the tendons in the back of the horse's leg is easily compromised if the wrap is too tight, if it is slips down or if it is applied with uneven pressure. • Practice getting the correct tension on the bandage because if it's too tight it can injure his tendons, but if it's too loose it will slip. • Choose the right bandage for the right circumstances. A horse needs a different bandage for the stall vs. when you're riding him. • Clean the section of the leg to be wrapped and then brush the hair so that it lies smoothly. Which direction you wrap a leg isn't critical, so pick which works for you, whether you're left- or right-handed. • Learn to judge where to start the outer bandage so that you finish wrapping at the top of the leg. Our range of leg bandages are available in 5 different brands and different materials.

La gare de Berlin-Adlershof est une gare ferroviaire à Berlin, dans le quartier de Adlershof. Elle se trouve sur la ligne de Berlin à Görlitz, au nord du croisement de Grünau avec la ligne de la grande ceinture de Berlin. Situation ferroviaire Histoire Avant la construction d'une gare, il y avait deux arrêts sur la ligne de Görlitz. Une gare est prévue à Adlershof en 1876. Le volume de passagers augmente si vite, que déjà en 1874 deux plates-formes latérales sont construites. Le , un bâtiment d'accueil à la nouvelle station Adlershof-Glienicke ouvre et la halte de Glienicke est abandonnée. Avec la création du canal de Teltow de 1900 à 1906, il y a d'importantes rénovations et une augmentation de l'industrie. En 1905 commencent des travaux de reconstruction dans le cadre du passage de la ligne de Görlitz dans un tunnel. En 1907, deux plates-formes moyennes, une pour les voies ferrées de banlieue et l'autre pour le trafic de longue distance, voient le jour. Dans le même temps commence la construction au nord de Adlershof du dépôt de Berlin-Schöneweide. En 1909, le tramway d'Adlershof-Altglienicke ouvre. En 1912, le tramway d'Adlershof-Altglienicke est suivi par le tramway de Cöpenick. Ce n'est qu'avec l'établissement du tramway de Berlin en 1920-1921 que les deux voies sont reliées en une ligne commune. Avec l'électrification de la ligne de banlieue en 1928, l'énergie arrive le à Adlershof. En , la gare prend simplement le nom de gare d'Adlershof. Le , la plateforme de la ligne principale est abandonnée puis démolie. L'ancien bâtiment d'accueil, qui se trouvait à peu près à la hauteur du tunnel piétonnier au sud, est démoli en 1964. Les travaux de transformation, au cours desquels, en 1960, on utilisa de nouvelles superstructures de ponts sur la Rudower Chaussee, apportent une nouvelle disposition des entrées. Le nouveau bâtiment d'accueil est bâti à l'angle Dörpfeldstraße/Rudower Chaussee. Le , l'ouverture du bâtiment conçu par les architectes Horst Schubert et Manfred Gross a lieu. Avec l'établissement du WISTA à Adlershof en 1992, on veut une station moderne puissante. De premiers plans sont faits en 1996 et le , la conception de la nouvelle gare est achevée. Cependant, la conversion prévue de 2003 à 2006 est reportée à plusieurs reprises. De 2006 à 2010, sept ponts et trois gares de la ligne de Berlin à Görlitz sont modernisés ou reconstruits dans le cadre d'un grand projet. Les travaux à la gare d'Adlershof se déroulent de à . Les ponts, les halls de réception, les escaliers et la plate-forme sont complètement remplacés par de nouveaux bâtiments. Les ponts sur la Rudower Chaussee sont élargis de 36 à de sorte que les tramways et les bus peuvent passer dessous. Lors de la reconstruction de la gare, l'arrêt de tram est temporairement déplacé. L'extension du tramway sur la bande médiane de la Rudower Chaussee à l'ouest de la Karl-Ziegler-Straße ouvre le , la boucle tournante située à la gare est conservée à des fins opérationnelles. Depuis lors, les lignes de bus venant de la Rudower Chaussee sont amenées sur la ligne de tramway peu avant la gare pour soulager la voie de circulation. La nouvelle plate-forme ouvre le . Le tunnel d'accès sud est prolongé jusqu'à Adlergestell et la nouvelle sortie est ouverte le .

Misappropriation of Trade Secrets RPNA attorneys keep business objectives on track when advising clients on the preservation and protection of trade secrets. Information is more mobile than ever. Turnover in staff at the highest levels, coupled with increasingly digitized or electronically stored data, makes the mass exodus of proprietary information very easy. Although trade secret laws are written specifically, they present far broader implications. In order to be legally classified a trade secret, intrinsic value must be established. In addition, reasonable measures to keep the trade secret—a secret—must be proven. RPNA's trade secret legal counsel spans the continuum of challenges that can and do arise when seeking to protect important trade secrets or corporate know how, such as the: Establishment of security measures to protect trade secrets Proactive hiring practices such as non-disclosure and non-compete agreements that comply with existing law Execution of immediate legal action to enforce trade secret rights when a violation occurs Litigation of trade secret theft can result in injunctions against violators, damages and considerable financial penalties. Whether our attorneys are called upon to execute cease and desist letters or to pursue damages and injunctive relief through litigation, trial or on appeal, the firm's attorneys are known for tough, highly exacting advocacy on behalf of our clients.

Baltimore news outlets have published body cam video from a supposed drug bust back in January. The video appears to show a cop planting drugs in a trash pile, before going back to the road, activating his body camera, and "finding" the drugs that supposedly belonged to a suspect. The cop was using a model of body cam that constantly captures and buffers footage, so that when you press the record button, it saves the previous 30 seconds of footage. The officer is seen "discovering" the bag of pills in record time, before coming back out to the road and turning the camera off. The drugs — and the officer's testimony of finding them — were to be used in a case against a suspect. After reviewing the video, a public defender brought up the apparent planting of evidence to the prosecutor in the case. Charges were subsequently dropped, and some kind of investigation is ongoing, although the Baltimore Police Department has refused further comment. Body cams have become more and more prevalent among cops in recent years, although policies around when they should be recorded and how evidence should be disclosed are still working out. Cases like this show how some police officers appear to be manipulating the cameras (however badly!) to try and manipulate evidence, showing that they're far from the perfect solution that some have hoped for.

Some Good News From Japan All of Japan's wind farms are unscathed by the 9.0 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear meltdown. Kelly Rigg of the Huffington Post contacted Yoshinori Ueda, leader of the International Committee of the Japan Wind Power Association & Japan Wind Energy Association to find out about how the tiny island nation's wind farms are holding up through the earthquake and tsunami. (Slave owner Ms Huffington really should pay her excellent journalists!) Ueda told her that there has been no wind damage reported by any association members, from either the earthquake or the tsunami. This would mean that all 9,997 MW of the nation's land-based wind energy is fine. Japan already had planned to bring off-shore wind capacity up to 1 GW (1,000 MW) by 2020. The first of these, the Kamisu (semi-offshore) wind farm, which was about 300km from the epicenter of the quake, survived. Its anti-earthquake "battle proof design" came through with flying colors. Not much comfort for a wonderful country that just lost 30% of its generating capacity from nuclear plants, I know, but that is something. And perhaps, out of the misfortune, a boost for clean energy in Japan. Mr. Ueda confirms that most Japanese wind turbines are fully operational and told her that electric companies have asked wind farm owners to step up operations as much as possible in order to make up for shortages in the eastern part of the country. No turning off these turbines because there's too much power on the grid.

At 7:50 a.m. a deputy drove out to the scene, and he advised dispatch he found the source of the sound: a firecracker. • At 9:12 p.m. Central Montana Dispatch informed the sheriff's department that Lewistown police officers were doing breathalyzer tests on several kids. A deputy responded.

Another season of BBC Radio 4's Dangerous Visions has begun airing. Programs are spread across three weeks, ending July 14. All dramas and readings will be available to listen to online for 30 days. You can also download each drama via the BBC iPlayer Radio app. This year, there's dystopian comedy in the mix, with two new productions. The first episode of Fahrenheit 451 is available July 3. Gregor Samsa's life is dominated by routine – commute, work, home – until one morning when he wakes to find himself transformed into a giant insect. As he attempts to master life with six legs, his family must also learn to live with his new look. In this drama, Kafka's masterpiece is given a modern twist with a darkly comic edge. Starring Tom Basden, Felicity Montagu, and Tim Key. In a vision of a world where antibiotics have stopped working and uncompromising, life-changing choices must be made, Anna is a doctor working in infectious diseases, forced every day to help choose whether to treat a patient or not. Those who do not have the correct insurance must face their fate with a shadowy judge called The Quartermaster. "Culture" was developed through the Wellcome Trust Experimental Stories scheme. Starring David Calder and Pippa Nixon. Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 was written in the early 1950s and is a dark, dystopian vision, set in a future American society where reading is outlawed. The role of the fireman has changed – his job now is to burn any books he finds. The main character Guy Montag is a fireman who starts to question his job, and his role as book eliminator begins to wrestle with his conscience. Poetic, dazzling and shocking: Ray Bradbury's vision of the future comes to Radio 4. This gripping three-part thriller takes place in France, 2020. In the picturesque town of Grenoble, the Front National sweeps to power in the municipal elections. As the euphoria of triumph is replaced by the bitter taste of reality, darkness descends on the city and there's trouble in the streets. Perimeter is the second comedy to feature in this year's dystopian feast and is set in a not-too-distant future, where the subtle differences to our society provide us with plenty of comic potential. In some ways things are worse e.g. environmental disaster; but in some ways things are better – more shows on Netflix. Siblings Josie and Liam live in a city divided into two zones by a giant, electrified fence. Inside the perimeter live people rich enough to afford the colossal property prices; outside is where everybody else lives. Close to the original book, Darkness at Noon is set in an unnamed country ruled by a totalitarian government (but basically, it's Stalin's Russia). Rubashov, once a powerful player in the regime, finds the tables turned on him when he is arrested and tried for treason. His reflections on his previous life and experiences in prison are at the heart of this thought-provoking masterpiece. Click here to see the schedule of upcoming episodes.

On Saturday, Brynn Paulin, Jennifer Armintrout, Cheryl Sterling and I gave a presentation at our local library as part of their Celebration of the Book festival. Our talk was supposed to be about the Diversity and Misconceptions of the Romance Genre, but we only touched on a few misconceptions before it turned into a writing workshop of sorts. Despite the fact that I would have liked to address more of the misconceptions, I consider the entire experience a rousing success anyway. We had a much larger audience than I'd expected including my baby sister, Cait who drove down from college to see us, and my littlest minion, An who called in sick to work to see us. I didn't throw up due to nerves. I think I only babbled incoherently twice – public speaking wigs me out and I occasionally say wildly inappropriate things. And best of all, the two snide questions regarding the validity of epubblishing and literary fiction vs. genre fiction were handled beautifully by Brynn and Jen respectively. Also, I think we might have garnered some potential members for out monthly RWA meetings. It was a gigantic blast and I LOVED blowing that e-publishing question out of the water. Hell no is e-pub failing and unsuccessful. What.EVER.It was a wonderful experience. Maybe we can doing it again next year…we can talk about basket making and maybe instead the topic will turn to Misconceptions *g*. Keep your notes!! And maybe we can "doing" my grammar too. Sheesh!!! I'm blaming my typos on the cold this morning. Bron, you and I would get along famously. I find myself babbling rather odd things a lot too. Irreverent, is what I call it. 🙂 I can be VERY irreverent. Definitely going to have to meet you. So….what did Brynn and Jen say about the whole epub thing and the literary vs. genre thing?My personal take on the second one: It Is Called Popular Fiction For A Reason!

Totengebet ist ein deutscher Fernsehfilm von Josef Rusnak aus dem Jahr 2019 mit Jan Josef Liefers in der Rolle des Berliner Anwalts Joachim Vernau. Es ist die fünfte Verfilmung der Joachim-Vernau-Reihe und basiert auf dem gleichnamigen Roman von Elisabeth Herrmann. Der Film wurde am 14. Januar 2019 im ZDF als Fernsehfilm der Woche erstmals ausgestrahlt. Handlung Rechtsanwalt Joachim Vernau wird von einer jungen Frau aufgesucht, die ihn beauftragen möchte ihren leiblichen Vater zu suchen. Rachel Cohens Ziehvater ist vor kurzem verstorben und nun ist sie aus New York nach Berlin gekommen. Sie hat ein Foto gefunden, das ihre verstorbene Mutter mit vier jungen Männern zeigt, bei denen auch Joachim Vernau dabei ist. Das Foto stammt aus den 1990er Jahren, als Vernau in Boston 5 Monate Jura studierte. Seine Neugier ist geweckt und so macht er sich mit Rachel auf, seine ehemaligen Kommilitonen zu finden. Ihr Weg führt zuerst in eine Berliner Synagoge zu Rudolf Scholl-Weissenborn. Er ist jüdischen Glaubens, wie Rachels Mutter Rebecca auch und hatte auch nach ihrem Weggang in die USA, zusammen mit ihrem Kommilitonen Mike, noch Kontakt zu ihr. Seines Wissens hatte sie sich seinerzeit von einer Fähre ins Wasser gestürzt und blieb danach verschwunden. Um Rachel weitere Fragen zu beantworten soll sie ihn am Abend in seinem Geschäft aufsuchen. Ehe es dazu kommt, wird Rudi umgebracht und Rachel ist verschwunden. Der ermittelnde Kommissar hält Rachel für die Täterin, da er nur ihre Fingerabdrücke findet. Sie ist jedoch schon mit dem Flugzeug unterwegs nach New York, woraufhin Vernau ihr nachreist, weil er ihre Unschuld beweisen will. In Boston angekommen begibt er sich zuerst zu der Adresse, wo Rachel aufgewachsen ist. Die Familie Cohen ist noch beim Totengebet, bei dem die Verwandten eines Verstorbenen sieben Tage lang zusammenkommen und Vernau erfährt von Rachels Halbbruder, dass seine Schwester die Familie im Streit verlassen hätte. Nach Hinweisen ihres Bruders findet Vernau Rachel in einem Strandlokal. Sie erklärt, dass sie mit dem Mord nichts zu tun hätte und sich schon in Berlin verfolgt gefühlt hätte. Vernaus Weg führt ihn nun zur Uni in Boston, hier kann er herausfinden, was aus Mike Collins geworden ist, der seinerzeit mit Rebecca in die USA gegangen war. Er findet ihn sogar in der Uni, wo er als Dozent Vorlesungen hält. Mike berichtet ihm, dass auch ihr Kommilitone Daniel Schöbendorf wieder zurück nach Boston gekommen war. Obwohl er eigentlich mit Rebecca befreundet war, sei er dann plötzlich mit ihrer besten Freundin nach Thailand verschwunden. Als Vernau diese Freundin aufsuchen will, die inzwischen wieder in Boston wohnen soll, trifft er auf ein Polizeiaufgebot. Offensichtlich wurde die Frau gerade umgebracht. Ehe sich Vernau versieht, sitzt Rachel bei ihm im Wagen und nötigt ihn, sie von hier wegzubringen. Nach ihrer Darstellung will ihr jemand die Morde anhängen, weil jemand verhindern will, dass nach so vielen Jahren die Wahrheit ans Licht kommt. Nach ihrer Recherche könnte Daniel Schöbendorf ihr Vater sein und möglicherweise war sein Verschwinden nur vorgetäuscht, weil man ihn ermordet hatte. Als beide am nächsten Tag mit dem Auto unterwegs sind, werden sie von einem anderen Auto attackiert. Beide Autos verunglücken und Vernau wird ins Brooklyn Medical Center gebracht, wo er von Detective Lankster verhört wird. Rachel ist allerdings wieder verschwunden. Sie meldet sich am nächsten Tag telefonisch bei Vernau. Sie hat herausgefunden, wo die Hebamme ihrer Mutter lebt und möchte, dass er sie dorthin begleitet. Frau Gutmann befindet sich in einem Seniorenheim und kann sich mit etwas Hilfe erinnern. Rebecca hätte seinerzeit ihr Kind bekommen und es dann einfach zurückgelassen. Vernau fällt auf, dass Frau Gutmann sehr gut versorgt ist und jeden Tag frische Blumen erhält. Er erkundigt sich und erfährt, dass an den Unterbringungskosten eine Rechtsanwaltsfirma beteiligt wäre. Als er dem nachgeht, steht plötzlich Rebecca vor ihm. Sie meint, Frau Gutmann sei die einzige Familie, die sie noch habe. Nachdem sie erfahren hatte, dass Daniel sie mit einer anderen Frau verlassen hätte, sei in ihr eine Welt zusammengebrochen, weshalb sie sich auch der Verantwortung Mutter zu sein nicht stellen wollte. Vernau gibt ihr zu verstehen, dass sie ihre Entscheidung womöglich unter falschen Voraussetzungen getroffen hatte. Nachdem Vernau von Rebecca erfährt, dass Mike Collins seinerzeit die Nachricht von Daniels Flucht überbracht hatte, versucht er ihn zur Rede zu stellen. Er findet ihn auf seinen Boot, gerät aber in Lebensgefahr, als er mit Mike aufs Meer hinaus fährt. Während Collins von Bord springt, lässt dieser das Boot mit blockierter Lenkung auf die Küste zurasen. Vernau kann eine Kollision abwenden, doch Mike bleibt verschwunden. Zuvor hat er Vernau die wahren Begebenheiten geschildert. Vor 29 Jahren hatte er mit Rebeccas Freundin, Kurt und Daniel gefeiert. Nach einem Streit war Daniel tödlich gestürzt und sie hatten die Leiche ins Wasser geworfen. Damit die beiden Zeugen schweigen, hatte er ihnen viel Geld gezahlt, doch nachdem er Präsident der Uni Boston werden sollte, wurden sie gierig und wollten mehr. Deshalb hätte er ihnen jemanden geschickt, der ihnen eigentlich nur Angst machen sollte. Am Grab von Uriel Cohen treffen Rebecca und Rachel nach 29 Jahren wieder aufeinander. Nebenhandlung Vernaus Mutter und ihre Freundin Hütchen, haben gerade einen alten Freund zu Besuch. Georg kommt aus New York und hat Hildegard Vernau eingeladen, Manhattan zu besuchen. Da auch Vernau selber gerade in den USA ist, besucht er seine Mutter in dem Jazzlokal und erfährt, dass Georg ihr nach 60 Jahren einen Heiratsantrag gemacht hat. Hildegard bleibt aber nicht in New York und erbittet sich noch etwas Bedenkzeit. Hintergrund Totengebet wurde vom 10. April bis zum 17. Mai 2018 in Boston und New York gedreht. Dieser fünfte Film der Joachim-Vernau-Reihe wurde, nach dreijähriger Pause zum vierten Teil, von Regisseur Josef Rusnak übernommen, weil Vernau-Stammregisseur Carlo Rola im März 2016 überraschend verstorben war. Rezeption Einschaltquote Die Erstausstrahlung von Totengebet wurde in Deutschland am 14. Januar 2019 von 7,0 Millionen Zuschauern gesehen und erreichte somit einen Marktanteil von 21,7 Prozent für das ZDF. Kritiken Auf tittelbach.tv urteilte Tilmann P. Gangloff: "Bislang hat die Autorin [Elisabeth Herrmann] ihre Bücher selbst adaptiert; Regie führte stets Carlo Rola. Nun hat das Personal gewechselt, was kein Schaden war; nach einem guten Auftakt hatten die letzten Filme deutliche dramaturgische Schwächen. Auch Josef Rusnak hat aus 'Totengebet' […] keinen Thriller gemacht, aber die Erinnerungssuche des von Jan Josef Liefers gewohnt sehenswert verkörperten Anwalts, der nach einem Unfall sein Gedächtnis verloren hat, ist jederzeit spannend, zumal Vernau mit seiner eigenen Biografie konfrontiert wird." Fazit: "Mit 'Totengebet' hat die Reihe wieder zur Qualität des ersten Films zurückgefunden" "Einige Storyelemente und die dramaturgische Unsitte, dass im Ausland vornehmlich Deutsch gesprochen wird, kratzen an der Glaubwürdigkeit", meinten die Kritiker der Fernsehzeitschrift TV Spielfilm über den Film und bewerteten diesen mit dem Daumen nach oben. Martin Seng von quotenmeter.de schrieb: "Totengebet" ist "eine gelungene und spannende Geschichte, die deutlich tiefer ist, als man auf den ersten Blick meinen mag. Auch wenn der Film den Humor aus den vorherigen Rollen von Liefers vermissen lässt, ist seine Darstellung als Vernau sehenswert. Mit kleineren Abstrichen ist 'Totengebet' also eine Empfehlung, die insbesondere wegen Liefers ausgesprochen wird." Bei der der FAZ wertete Heike Hupertz: "Während Vernau durch New York schweift (schöne Bilder) und Jazztrompetensounds (Soundgestaltung Mario Grigorov) von der Mittelmäßigkeit der Handlung ablenken, nimmt die Geschichte ihren üblichen Spannungsverlauf. Verschwendet sind die Talente von Elisabeth Schwarz als Vernaus Mutter und Carmen-Maja Antoni als ihre WG-Partnerin sowie Stefanie Stappenbeck als Kanzleipartnerin. Edeka-Mann Friedrich Liechtenstein tritt als Bluestrompeter im Blue Note-Club auf. Claudia Michelsen muss zum Schluss die Fäden entwirren. Ergo geht 'Totengebet' als gute Unterhaltung mit Quotengarantie durch." Eric Leimann von Prisma.de urteilte: "Bei den Kritikern haben die arg vorhersehbaren Vernau-Plots wenig Kredit. Tatsächlich strotzt die Handlung auch in 'Totengebet' wieder vor Klischees, wogegen selbst die" "die 'bauliche' Qualität der Thriller-Krimis" und die "prominente Besetzung nichts auszurichten vermag."

Qatar Airways Resumes Flights to Budapest, Dar es Salaam, Dhaka, Istanbul and New York Özgür Töre The national carrier of the State of Qatar, Qatar Airways continues to maintain its position as the largest international carrier in the world, operating over 270 weekly flights to more than 45 destinations. The airline's gradual rebuilding of its network continues with flights resuming in the past week to the following destinations: Budapest (three weekly flights started 15 June) Dar es Salaam (three weekly flights started 16 June) Dhaka (three weekly flights started 15 June) Istanbul (daily flights started 13 June) New York (flights started 19 June, daily from 22 June and 10 weekly from 2 July) As entry restrictions ease around the world, the carrier is also seeing a rise in bookings due to the strong levels of trust built with passengers as it took home over 1.8 million people safely and reliably during this crisis including many left stranded by other airlines. With demand steadily rising, Qatar Airways has increased frequencies to the following destinations in the past week: Athens (increased from three weekly to daily flights) Dallas-Fort Worth (increased from three weekly to daily flights) Dublin (increased from five weekly to daily flights) Islamabad (now operating double daily flights) Jakarta (increased from four weekly to daily flights) Karachi (now operating double daily flights) Lahore (now operating double daily flights) Milan (increased from five weekly to daily flights) Rome (increased from six weekly to daily flights) Singapore (increasing from three weekly to daily flights) The national carrier of the State of Qatar also continues to operate daily flights to many key global destinations including Amsterdam, London Heathrow, Melbourne, Seoul, Sydney, Tokyo and Zurich offering a resilient network that is designed for strong connectivity. Qatar Airways has led the industry during these challenging times accumulating unrivalled experience in carrying passengers safely and reliably, especially in comparison to those airlines that have fully grounded their operations. The airline continues to provide an honest network that can be relied upon and trusted to operate. By maintaining a global network that never fell below 30 destinations, Qatar Airways has remained up to date with the latest in international airport procedures and implemented the most advanced safety and hygiene measures on board its aircraft and in Hamad International Airport (HIA), recently voted the Best Airport in the Middle East for the sixth year in a row. To ensure travellers can plan their travel with peace of mind, the airline has also extended its booking policies to offer even more choice to its passengers. The airline will allow unlimited date changes, and passengers can change their destination as often as they need if it is within 5,000 miles of the original destination. The airline will not charge any fare differences for travel completed before 31 December 2020, after which fare rules will apply. All tickets booked for travel up to 31 December 2020 will be valid for two years from the date of issuance. Passengers flying Business Class on Qsuite equipped aircraft can avail of the enhanced privacy this award-winning suite provides, including sliding privacy partitions and fully closing doors that create a private sanctuary. Passengers can also opt to use the 'Do Not Disturb (DND)' indicator in their private suite, if they wish to limit their interactions with the cabin crew. Qsuite continues to be available on flights to more than 30 destinations including London, Sydney, Singapore and Dallas Fort Worth with plans to add it to more routes throughout the summer. Qatar Airways has further enhanced its onboard safety measures for passengers and cabin crew. The airline has implemented several changes, including the introduction of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) suits for cabin crew while onboard, as well as a modified service that reduces interactions between the passengers and the crew inflight. Passengers will also be required to wear face coverings inflight, with the carrier recommending travellers bring their own for fit and comfort purposes. Hamad International Airport (HIA) has implemented stringent cleaning procedures and applied social distancing measures throughout its terminals. All passenger touchpoints are sanitized every 10-15 minutes and every boarding gate and bus gate counter is cleaned after each flight. In addition, hand sanitizers are provided at immigration and security screening points. HIA was recently ranked "Third Best Airport in the World", among 550 airports worldwide, by the SKYTRAX World Airport Awards 2020. HIA was also voted the 'Best Airport in the Middle East' for the sixth year in a row and 'Best Staff Service in the Middle East' for the fifth year in a row.

Prostate cancer is an important public health problem. It is an excellent candidate disease for chemo-prevention because prostate cancer is typically slow growing and is usually diagnosed in elderly males. Pygeum africanum (Prunus africana or Rosaceae) is an African prune (plum) tree found in tropical Africa. An extract from the bark of Pygeum africanum has been used in Europe as a prevention and treatment of prostate disorders including benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). More recently in the USA, the phytotherapeutic preparations of Pygeum africanum and Saw palmetto have been marketed for prostate health including prostate cancer prevention and treatment. The anti-cancer potential of Pygeum africanum has been tested both in vitro (PC-3 and LNCaP cells) and in␣vivo (TRAMP mouse model). In tissue culture, ethanolic extracts (30%) of Pygeum africanum inhibited the growth of PC-3 and LNCaP cells; induced apoptosis and altered cell kinetics; down regulated ERα and PKC-α protein, and demonstrated good binding ability to both mouse uterine estrogen receptors and LNCaP human androgen receptors. TRAMP mice fed Pygeum africanum showed a significant reduction (P = 0.034) in prostate cancer incidence (35%) compared to casein fed mice (62.5%). Pygeum africanum, which is widely used in Europe and USA for treatment of BPH, has a significant role in regulation of prostate cancer both in␣vitro and in␣vivo and therefore may be a useful supplement for people at high risk for developing prostate cancer. We would like to thank Dr. Wendy Applequest, Missouri Botanical Gardens for her kind assistance in obtaining the Pygeum africanum extract. We appreciate the help of Dr. George Rottinghaus, Department of Analytical chemistry, University of Missouri-Columbia in making the ethanol extract of Pygeum africanum.

PRIVATE WAY MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS, PART I: COMMON LAW On behalf of Jeffrey T. Angley, P.C. | Mar 22, 2017 | Real Estate Law | Massachusetts contains thousands of private streets and ways; on and along those ways innumerable residents of this Commonwealth live. We know that the Derelict Fee Statute operates to resolve ownership questions regarding these private ways. However, the "statute pertains only to the question of ownership of the fee [in a private way]"; it does not govern use, maintenance, or other rights and/or obligations over a way, which, for the purposes of this blog post, fall within the province of the common law of easements. Adams v. Planning Bd. of Westwood, 64 Mass. App. Ct. 383, 389 (2005). There are multiple types of appurtenant easements that a landowner abutting a private way may have: express, implied (estoppel, necessity, prior use), prescriptive. However, each type, unless otherwise expressly indicated, carries with it "every right necessary for its enjoyment is included by implication," Sullivan v. Donohoe, 287 Mass. 265, 267 (1934); and, thus, "[t]he right to make necessary repairs is an incident to the easement." Mt. Holyoke Realty Corp. v. Holyoke Realty Corp., 298 Mass. 513, 514 (1937). These incidental or secondary rights are broad and include paving, clearing of brush and limbs, and grading and leveling. See, e.g., Stagman v. Kyhos, 19 Mass. App. Ct. 590, 593-594 (paving); Glenn v. Poole, 12 Mass. App. Ct. 292, 296 (1981) (clearing of brush and limbs); Guillet v. Livernois, 297 Mass. 337, 340 (1937) (changing grade and level). Thus, an easement holder's unilateral right to make necessary repairs and improvements "is well established in cases where the way is already in use" and "exists even more clearly where without improvement the way is impassable and useless." Guillet, supra. The more difficult legal question is an easement holder's ability to compel others to contribute to such maintenance and repairs, or to recoup the costs of the same. There are multiple common law options through which an easement holder may obtain contribution or reimbursement for repairs to a private way. Below, is a discussion of two such options – equitable contribution and unreasonable interference. 1. Equitable Contribution. Contribution is an ancient legal concept. "By the common law, where one" co-owner of property "is willing to repair, and the others will not, he who is willing to repair has a right to make all necessary and useful repairs, and may" bring an action "against the other tenants, to obtain contribution." Coffin v. Heath, 6 Metcalf 76, 79-80 (1843). "[T]he doctrine of contribution . . . is founded on the principle that where parties stand" in equal right, "equality of" burden "becomes equity." Id. at 80. In other words, with equal rights come equal obligations. Thus, "if repairs be made and paid for by one of the tenants, for the common benefit of the other tenants, they, in equity, would be held to contribute ratably for such useful expenses." Id. "And not only would they be personally liable to contribution, but their estates also would be subjected to a lien, whether the tenants agreed to repair or not, if by the repairs a common benefit has been conferred on the owners, so that" from equity and good conscience "they ought to pay for such a benefit." While the origin of the doctrine is quite old, its application has continued through to present. See e.g., Sheehan v. Sheehan, 361 Mass. 196, 197-198 (1972); Gough v. Gough, 329 Mass. 634, 636 (1953); Fiske v. Quint, 274 Mass. 169, 173-174 (1931). In Cannata v. Berkshire Natural Resources Council, Inc., the Appeals Court specifically used the legal term "contribution", and applied the foregoing principles to holders of "separate or common easements over the same land". 73 Mass. App. Ct. 789. 797 (2009). It is true that "[t]he duty of maintaining an easement in such condition and repair as may be necessary to its exercise normally rests upon the holder of the easement." Shapiro v. Burton, 23 Mass. App. Ct. 327, 333 (1987), citing New York Cent. R. R. v. Ayer, 242 Mass. 69, 75 (1922). However, this principle is practically inapt where there are multiple owners of a private way, and multiple common easement holders over the same. In such circumstances, courts will seek to determine "how the costs should be equitably apportioned among the common easement owners." Shapiro, supra at 335. "To sustain . . . an action" for contribution, "there must be [1] a request to join in the reparation, and [2] a refusal; and [3] the expenditures must have been previously made." Coffin, 6 Metcalf at 80. Under these authorities, an easement holder could theoretically procure an estimate for repairs, make a request to the other abutters (and easement holders) that they join in the cost of the repairs, bear those costs themselves after a refusal to join, and, then, sue the other abutters for equitable contribution once the expenditures have been made. Because these actions originate in equity jurisdiction, however, a trial court would likely have the power to calibrate the claims of contribution against each abutter (or other easement holder), based upon various equitable principles. It is thus, uncertain whether, in all circumstances, costs will be apportioned "ratably" by the courts. 2. Unreasonable Interference. When multiple parties have access rights over the same private way, each owes obligations to the other easement holders: "The obligation between those who hold separate or common easements over the same land is that they act reasonably in the exercise of their privileges so as not to interfere unreasonably with the rights of other easement holders." Cannata, 73 Mass. App. Ct. at 797, citing the Restatement (Third) of Property (Servitudes) § 4.12 comment b, at 626-627 (2000) ("holders of separate easements or profits in the same land must act reasonably to avoid unreasonably interfering with the enjoyment of other servitude holders, as well as with the servient estate"). See Walker v. E. William & Merrill C. Nutting, 302 Mass. 535, 543 (1939) (in exercising easement rights, holder of easement must show "due regard to the rights of others who may have an interest in the way"); Tindley v. Department of Environmental Quality Engr., 10 Mass. App. Ct. 623, 628 (1980) (same). "'Their uses of the land are governed by equitable principles, namely, what is reasonable in the exercise of their respective privileges.'" Cannata, supra, quoting Shapiro, 23 Mass. App. Ct. at 334 (1987). "This calls for a 'balancing of their interests as holders of an easement in common,'" Cannata, supra, quoting Shapiro, supra. From these general propositions of law, governing rights of way, shared by multiple easement holders, flows the following principle: "To the extent that a second easement holder's use unreasonably interferes with the use by the first easement holder, the second easement holder may be called upon to bear the additional costs." Cannata, supra at 798 n. 13. As such, and for example, if an easement holder's heavy construction vehicles destroyed the surface of a way, substantially interfering with another holder's passage over the same, the easement holder responsible for such destruction should be required to bear the costs for repairs. Any number of similar instances can be imagined, where one easement holder's actions so impair the use of a way that repairs become necessary for its continued use. This doctrine acts to burden the bad actor to a greater extent than other easement holders when allocating repair costs. These foregoing common law remedies can be powerful tools to be wielded by a co-easement holder for the repair and maintenance of a private way. However, each are fraught with uncertainty and cost, and are time consuming enterprises, as both contemplate resort to litigation and trial for relief. Careful analysis with competent counsel will assist in providing guidance on how to implement these procedures.

Armed Florida Homeowner Fights Off Invaders When an unknown woman rang the bell and knocked on the door of a Florida home, the homeowner decided not to answer, prompting the woman to drive away. But what was initially strange turned sinister when the woman immediately returned, aggressively knocking again. Then there was a sudden noise from the back of the house. That's when the homeowner grabbed his gun. Winter Garden police say the homeowner encountered a man wearing all black and a ski mask entering the house through a smashed patio door. The terrified homeowner acted instinctively and shot the intruder, who escaped and drove off with the woman. "He had a masked person at the back door … and then someone beating at the front door," police Lt. Scott Allen told WKMG News 6. "He was in fear for his life and thought that was his best option." A neighbor added, "The burglars probably thought no one was home, so that's kind of scary." Michael Bloomberg's The Trace Blames "Fake News" On NRA In a Dec. 12 post, The Trace blamed the rise of "fake news" on NRA. "Fake News" is the newest fad among those seeking to lay blame for Hillary Clinton's defeat on something other than Hillary. And The Trace blames NRA for using it to undermine trust in so-called "mainstream" media: "Rather than critically evaluating articles for their correspondence to known facts, the NRA has long encouraged its audience to dismiss these reports and the outlets that produce them as irredeemably opposed to a cherished way of life." NRA knows all about fake news. For decades, we've countered fake news from "trusted" sources with facts, debunking "Saturday Night Specials," "Cop-Killer Bullets" and "Assault Weapons." (The same sources told us, "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor" and, "Benghazi was caused by a video.") In fact, A1F deconstructed The Trace's own fake news in a 17-part series earlier this year. If The Trace wants to debunk fake news, it can start by explaining how lobbyists, labor unions and a synagogue wound up on a list of "141 medical groups" promoting gun control. Top Hoops Prospect Shuns "Dangerous" Hometown Of Chicago For Gun-Friendly Texas While gun-ban advocates would have you believe areas with more restrictive gun-control laws are safer than those that allow widespread gun ownership, a top college basketball recruit has chosen where to play based on facts to the contrary. According to a report at pilotonline.com, highly recruited point guard Evan Gilyard is shunning schools in his home city of Chicago, instead choosing the University of Texas-El Paso—located, incidentally, in one of the most gun-friendly areas in the country. "It's safer out there," Gilyard told pilotonline. "In Chicago you have a lot of violence, a lot of gang violence, and it hasn't been as safe. When I looked at UTEP, I saw there was a very small amount of murders." Gilyard makes a good point. This year, the Chicago homicide toll has already surpassed 700, and more than 4,000 people have been shot. And while some might say comparing the two communities is comparing apples to oranges, El Paso has a violent crime rate of 3.75 per 1,000 residents, while Chicago's is nearly three times higher, at 9.08 per 1,000 residents. Florida Will Again Consider Campus Carry In 2017 Following the ISIS-inspired attack on the campus of Ohio State University—a rampage that ended when a university police officer shot and killed the student—campus safety has again become part of the national discussion. And many are calling for new laws that will allow students with carry permits to legally carry a concealed firearm while on campus. Such is the case in Florida, where an NRA-backed proposal has been filed by Republican state Rep. Scott Plakon for the 2017 session. It will make the third year in a row that legislators have advocated for students being afforded the same right to protection on campus that they take advantage of while off campus. Should it fail to pass next year, proponents say it would endanger the state's 40 public college and university campuses by making them less safe. Many school police forces remain understaffed and, just last year, administrators unsuccessfully sought $74 million from the legislature to increase campus security operations. WA Bill Would Protect The Right To Carry At Sports Stadiums Should licensed, trained, background-checked, card-carrying Right-to-Carry permit holders be barred from entering sports stadiums while armed? Legislation now proposed in Washington state would prevent public stadiums or the private companies that operate them from barring armed Right-to-Carry permit holders from entering stadiums, but the NFL, The Washington Post and some at Fox News apparently think that's a bad idea. "We haven't seen the proposed legislation," said Brian McCarthy, the NFL's vice president of communications, "but we have a policy forbidding carrying a weapon into NFL stadiums." Former NFL player Jack Brewer pronounced it "a ridiculous law to even be proposing." And The Washington Post darkly warned that if the law passes, "guns could be added to an already combustible environment." Yet isn't that what critics said about the dozens of states that allow Right-to-Carry permit holders to be armed in establishments that serve alcohol? So ... where's the fire?

'Palestina' video 'PALESTINA' video 6:31min 2005 Palestina, is an Albanian girl. Her name may sound strange and unusual, but her name is Palestina. The name has been thrilling to her since she understood the real history of it. However, she feels proud of her name and the story of how she got that name. Palestina herself tells this history on video. Her mother, at the time when she was expecting a baby, was stunned by a tragedy taking place in Palestine. Israeli soldiers killed a young Palestinian in front of his girlfriend. Sad because of the cruel killing of her lover, young Palestinian girl, got into her car, filled it with explosives and clashed along with this car-bomb into an Israeli soldier convoy, killing as many as 20. The event took place in 1982, weeks before a Kosovo girl, later named after "Palestine", was born. Her mother, stunned with the tragic news comming from Palestine, decided immediately that if the baby she was going to give birth is a girl, she would be named Palestine. Her husband and the entire family were severely against this unusual name, but she was set and did not defer the pressure. On the video, Palestina herself tells how she understood the reality of her name's history: "Through this video I wanted to present the importance of interpretation and influence of the news upon global society, including news dealing with tragic and horrifying events that spark extreme reactions as even today it is not that easy to distinguish the boundary between heroism and madness". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbdrIbZ_vLc 'Catch Me' 'Tibet' video

On the ship that downed a military drone, one small mistake could cause a war with Iran With short incendiary shrieks Harrier jump jets race across the USS Boxer's deck and are soon gray dots in the sky. Seahawk and Super Stallion helicopters leap and land like gigantic insects, feeding on the mother ship. The tilt-rotor Ospreys, part-plane part-helicopter, come and go while the others in their flock nest, folded in gray ranks, along the edges of the deck. It's a bestiary any ark would be proud of. But the USS Boxer has more than just aircraft with animal names. It has a crew of 1,000 plus some 1,500 US Marines on board. And enough armor, dune-buggies, artillery and even tanks to mount a small invasion. The hardware is stacked in hangars below decks. On Thursday, it was taking part in a tense but routine mission in the world's busiest shipping route as part of a three-ship expeditionary force through the Strait of Hormuz. Just hours after CNN left the ship, it downed what the US said was an Iranian drone that came too close, further escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran. A US Navy official said there were several other interactions between the US warship and Iranian military forces prior to the downing of the drone. This week's routine mission put the USS Boxer and its two accompanying vessels, the USS John P. Murtha and the USS Harpers Ferry, temporarily at the center of a potential storm as the US flexed the resources of the US Fifth Fleet at the US Naval Forces Central Command in Bahrain. If tensions boiled over, this fleet would be at the epicenter of a war that could, indeed would, spread through the entire Middle East. On board the USS Boxer, Marines train and maintain their equipment day and night alongside the crew. Many sleep in vast dormitories stacked six high in tiny bunks known as "coffin racks." Their only diversions are the gym and more training. The US military is proud of the Marines' wider doctrinal task to represent US national power overseas. In other words, it has to look impressive as it threads the needle of the Strait of Hormuz, letting Iran know just what the USS Boxer's group is designed for and capable of. The group's commodore, Captain Jason A. Burns, said this week's planned transit was an entirely routine enhancement to the US Fifth Fleet's long-standing role in the region. And indeed, Iranian sailors in this always tense neighborhood are used to seeing such vessels over the years. But the routine was first shattered in May, when four ships were mysteriously attacked by mines, which the US and UK have suggested came on Tehran's orders. In June, two more ships in the Gulf of Oman were also mined. Again, the US and the UK pointed their fingers at Iran. Since then every move, feint or mistake made by shipping in this region and beyond has been endowed with strategic meaning. On June 20, Iran shot down a US drone over the Strait. Iran said it had strayed into its airspace, the US said it was over international waters. President Donald Trump called off a retaliatory raid against Iranian air defenses at the last minute, he said, after deciding that an estimated death toll of around 150 Iranians was disproportionate. A few weeks later, a UK Navy frigate leveled its guns at Iranian gunboats that had attempted to maneuver a BP-owned oil tanker into Iranian waters. The encounter was seen as possible retaliation by Iran for the seizure of its own tanker, the Grace I, off the coast of Gibraltar. Grace 1 was suspected of smuggling 2 million barrels of Iraqi crude oil to Syria, in alleged violation of international embargoes on the Damascus regime. In both cases, escalation to a wider conflict was avoided. Thursday's drone downing was achieved using electronic jamming, according to a US defense official. The craft had come within 1,000 meters of the USS Boxer and ignored multiple calls to stand down, President Donald Trump said. Iran's Minister of Foreign Affairs Mohammad Javad Zarif told reporters at the United Nations in New York Thursday that "we have no information about losing a drone." A return to worse days A return to the days when US and allied navies escorted ships through the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz to protect them against attempts by Iran to block Iraqi oil exports during the Iran-Iraq war, would be a dangerous escalation. The US Naval Forces Central Command and the Fifth Fleet were set up in Bahrain in 1995. They were designed to "command the afloat units that rotationally deploy or surge from the United States plus a few smaller ships that are based in the Gulf for longer periods," according to the US Department of Defense. The US Naval Forces Central Command is charged with managing the 33 nations who contribute ships to a coalition called the Combined Maritime Forces. This focuses on "defeating terrorism, preventing piracy, encouraging regional cooperation and promoting a safe maritime environment." The US is keen to put together a new "coalition" to ensure maritime security in the Gulf region against what Washington says are threats from Iran. But this coalition has proven harder to establish because many potential allies are so out of step with the US on Iran, and are keen to preserve the nuclear deal that Trump has torn up. A Spanish frigate, the ESPS Méndez Núñez, recently left the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group, which is currently based in the Gulf of Oman and focuses on Iran. Spain does not support the US withdrawal from the anti-nuclear deal agreed with Iran in 2015. Neither does Britain. And while the UK is sending a destroyer to the region, it has not indicated whether it would join in an Iran-specific force — especially when a coalition force already exists and even has a Briton as its deputy commander. The consequences of a single mistake Amid the fissile atmosphere in the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, a single mistake could unleash catastrophe. Earlier this week, Javad Zarif, the Iranian foreign minister, warned of the high stakes in play. "All through history Iran has provided security in these waters," he told CNN's Fareed Zakaria. "The United States is intervening in order to make these waters insecure for Iran. You cannot make these waters insecure for one country and secure for others." "Do you believe that as a result of this — whoever is to blame — you could have an escalation which would result in a military incident?" Zakaria asked him. "In such a small body of water if you have so many foreign vessels, I mean accidents will happen…" the Iranian foreign minister replied, emphasizing that Iran did not want war and called on all parties to "work" to avoid war. He drew attention to the US killing of 290 civilian passengers on board Iran Air flight 655, shot down by the USS Vincennes during the "tanker wars" of the 1980s. Tehran has repeatedly called for a return to negotiations with the US, but only if the US lifts economic sanctions first. This week there were signs that the Trump administration was preparing to make good on its offer to talk directly with Iran, without preconditions, reportedly tapping Senator Rand Paul as the man to make the overtures. On board the Boxer, CNN asked Brigadier General Trollinger, the commander of the Task Force controlling the USS Boxer, if an apparently minor misstep by a junior sailor or Marine could have dangerous consequences — like a war? "That's absolutely accurate," the general replied. "All the training we do, all the education we do is the express purpose of getting after that, to make sure that we eliminate or reduce rather… mitigate to the best of our ability … any risk of miscalculation." The alternative is almost unthinkable. But in complex negotiations, the trick is to convince the other that the unthinkable is an option.

The introduction of synthetic surfaces has significantly changed the sport of field hockey. Since being introduced in the 1970's , competitions in western countries are now mostly played on artificial surfaces. This has changed the game considerably with a fast pitch, true ball roll and player comfort with sport improving beyond recognition. Multisport Surfaces Ltd ensures that all synthetic hockey fields are installed to the highest standards. The quality of a hockey field is measured by its performance in the areas of safety, drainage and playing characteristics such as hockey ball behaviour. Multisport Surfaces Ltd provides a full hockey turf system, which includes construction and installation services through to project completion. There have since been significant improvements in modern hockey turf systems due to research of synthetic turf fibres and shock absorption properties. For new installations or an upgrade of your existing pitch, you can enjoy top flight hockey in the modern game with a Multisport Surfaces synthetic hockey field. This superior grade of hockey surface has a very high density of artificial grass with no sand infill thus providing a consistent ball roll and bounce. The surface is fully irrigated with a layer of water which results in an extremely fast and professional game. Due to the absence of sand, the blades of artificial grass are free-moving which enables players to get their hockey stick under the ball. This allows for a technical game with many possibilities. The grass fibres are kept upright by the sand infill, ensuring a high degree of stability and wear resistance. The surface provides an even and predictable ball roll. Sand filled hockey fields are very popular with schools and municipalities due to their multifunctional use. A dressed hockey field is one which has a partial sand infill between 66% to 80% of pile depth. This infill is enough to maintain the blades of artificial grass in a vertical position. The appearance resembles an unfilled hockey field but with a slightly longer pile height. A semi water based hockey field (sometimes called "half sand filled") is one which has a sand infill less than 60% of pile depth. The artificial grass surface is of a higher density than other sand based hockey fields. A built-in sprinkler system irrigates the field which provides a high quality surface similar to a water-based pitch.

Mystery Of The 80 Million-Year-Old Sharks' Teeth In The City Of David MessageToEagle | July 5, 2021 | Ancient World, Archaeology News | No Comments Conny Waters – MessageToEagle.com – A cache of fossilized shark teeth unearthed in a 2900-year-old site in the City of David in Jerusalem is an ancient puzzle to researchers. This find should not be found in this area. This is at least 80 km from where these fossils would be expected to be found. There is no conclusive proof of why the cache was assembled, but it may be that the 80 million-year-old teeth were part of a collection, dating from just after the death of King Solomon. Judean Hills. Image credit: David Shankbone – CC BY-SA 3.0 The same team has now unearthed similar unexplained finds in other parts of ancient Judea. "These fossils are not in their original setting, so they have been moved. They were probably valuable to someone; we just don't know why, or why similar items have been found in more than one place in Israel," Dr. Thomas Tuetken from the University of Mainz, Institute of Geosciences said. The teeth were found buried in the material used to fill in a basement before conversion to a large Iron-Age house. The house itself was situated in the City of David, one of the oldest parts of Jerusalem, found nowadays in the largely Palestinian village of Silwan. They were found together with fish bones thrown away as food waste 2900 years ago, and other infill material such as pottery. Intriguingly, they were found together with hundreds of bullae—items used to seal confidential letters and packages—implying a possible connection with the administrative or governing class at some point. Normally archaeological material is dated according to the circumstances where it is found, and so at first, it was assumed that the teeth were contemporary with the rest of the finds. Fossilised Squalicorax tooth Nr. #07815 from the Jerusalem site. Credit: Omri Lernau "We had at first assumed that the shark teeth were remains of the food dumped nearly 3000 years ago, but when we submitted a paper for publication, one of the reviewers pointed out that one of the teeth could only have come from a Late Cretaceous shark that had been extinct for at least 66 million years. That sent us back to the samples, where measuring organic matter, elemental composition, and the crystallinity of the teeth confirmed that indeed all shark teeth were fossils," Dr. Tuetken said. Their strontium isotope composition indicates an age of about 80 million years. This confirmed that all 29 shark teeth found in the City of David were Late Cretaceous fossils—contemporary with dinosaurs. More than that, they were not simply weathered out of the bedrock beneath the site, but were probably transported from afar, possibly from the Negev, at least 80 km away, where similar fossils are found". Since the first finds, the team has found other shark teeth fossils elsewhere in Israel, at the Maresha and Miqne sites. These teeth are also likely to have been unearthed and moved from their original sites. "Our working hypothesis is that the teeth were brought together by collectors, but we don't have anything to confirm that. There are no wear marks which might show that they were used as tools, and no drill holes to indicate that they may have been jewelry.," Dr. Tuetken said. "We know that there is a market for shark's teeth even today, so it may be that there was an Iron Age trend for collecting such items. This was a period of riches in the Judean Court. However, it's too easy to put 2 and 2 together to make 5. We'll probably never really be sure". Map of the main water bodies and potential fish habitats of Egypt and the Southern Levant: Mediterranean Sea, Red Sea, upper Nile River, the brackish Lake Manzala on the Nile delta, the hypersaline Bardawil Lagoon in northern Sinai, and the freshwater Lake Kinneret and Jordan River, its main tributary, in northern Israel. Image source The shark teeth which have been identified come from several species, including from the extinct Late Cretaceous group Squalicorax. Squalicorax, which grew to between 2 and 5 meters long, lived only during the Late Cretaceous period (which was the same period as the late dinosaurs), so acts as a reference point in dating these fossils. "This research by Dr. Tuetken and colleagues is an excellent example of why it is so important to approach a research question with as few assumptions as possible, and how sometimes we have to revisit our initial assumptions. It also highlights how beneficial it can be to apply multiple tools to answer a research question. In this case, the authors used both strontium and oxygen isotopes, as well as X-ray diffraction and trace element analysis to establish the most likely age and origin of the fossil teeth," Dr. Brooke Crowley from the University of Cincinnati, commented. See also: More Archaeology News "It was a monumental work but these efforts have revealed a much more interesting story about the people who lived in this region in the past. I am very excited by this work and hope that one day, we might be able to unravel the mystery of why these fossil teeth are being recovered from cultural deposits".
