Is having too much control over your life a bad thing? Sumptuously shot and meticulously paced, Korean filmmaker Lee Chang-dong's Burning concerns a young writer reunited with a quirky, effusive woman from his childhood, for who he immediately falls. She then returns from a trip to Africa with a wealthy, mysterious young man in tow. The film is undeniably gorgeous, strewn with sequences of pure cinematic verve – a jazzy, drunken dance break, a greenhouse engulfed in flames. The film's sweltering tension and commitment to its lack of easy answers is commendable, but less so is its treatment of women. The character of Hae-mi while well-performed is let down by writing that paints her as the worst kind of male-driven sexual fantasy. She only really exists to develop the male characters' arcs and to allow the camera to artfully leer over her. For a film of such lofty ambitions and an evident desire to dig into themes of toxic male sexual obsession, its women aren't afforded their own agency. Narratively, the film runs out of steam in the second half, resolving its mysteries in a way that feels unearned. We exit Burning unsatisfied, and not necessarily in the way the filmmakers intended, its glimpses of profundity blazing brightly before disappearing all too quickly. Moments of utter beauty let down by problematic storytelling.

Review: Cry Wolf by Hans Rosenfeldt Posted on December 28, 2021 December 27, 2021 by Marlene Harris Cry Wolf: A Novel by Hans Rosenfeldt Source: supplied by publisher via NetGalley Genres: mystery, Nordic noir, suspense, thriller Series: Hannah Webster #1 Published by Hanover Square Press on December 28, 2021 A DEAD WOLF A DRUG DEAL GONE WRONG A LETHAL FEMALE ASSASSIN The first book in a new series by Hans Rosenfeldt, creator of the TV series The Bridge as well as Netflix’s Emmy Award–winning Marcella. Hannah Wester, a policewoman in the remote northern town of Haparanda, Sweden, finds herself on the precipice of chaos. When human remains are found in the stomach of a dead wolf, Hannah knows that this summer won’t be like any other. The remains are linked to a bloody drug deal across the border in Finland. But how did the victim end up in the woods outside of Haparanda? And where have the drugs and money gone? Hannah and her colleagues leave no stone unturned. But time is scarce and they aren’t the only ones looking. When the secretive and deadly Katja arrives, unexpected and brutal events start to pile up. In just a few days, life in Haparanda is turned upside down. Not least for Hannah, who is finally forced to confront her own past. The mystery in Cry Wolf and the solving of it read like they sit at the crossroads between “For want of a nail” and “This is the house that Jack built.” The former being the first line of a quote from Benjamin Franklin, and the latter being an English nursery rhyme. Both are cumulative stories, where one thing leads to another and another. Not necessarily in a straightforward or even competent fashion. No one comes out of this story exactly smelling of roses. There’s plenty of blame, misunderstanding, misdirection and downright incompetence involved along the way. At the same time, Cry Wolf also reads like a non-superhero based origin story for Black Widow, one in which she continues to put more red in her ledger until the day she dies, still doing the work of the “Red Room” – or in the case of Katja in Cry Wolf, “The Academy”. But those perspectives are long views of Cry Wolf, the latter of which seems most plausible at the ending. At the beginning there are two dead wolves with human remains in their bellies on the Swedish side of the border between Sweden and Finland outside the remote, fading town of Haparanda. The local cops, including Hannah Wester and her boss – and illicit lover – Gordon, start out worrying about how the discovery of the man-eating wolves is going to exacerbate local, regional and even national tensions over whether wolves should be protected or hunted to elimination in the region. But of course the case isn’t that simple. And this is where we get into the whole “For want of a nail” scenario. The wolves, a mother and cub, did not bring down human prey. They found a murder victim. It’s not that wolves are incapable of killing humans with enough motivation or desperation – it’s that wolves aren’t capable of shooting a gun. That lets the wolves off the hook, but the situation only expands from there. The murder victim was the sole survivor of a drug deal that went wrong on the other side of the border in Finland. He left the half dozen victims behind riddled with gunshots while he walked away with bags of drugs and money – and with a bullet in his ass. Only to be struck down by a hit and run driver who seems to have made off with the drugs and the money. Drugs and money that belong to the Russian mafia – who want their property back and intend to make an example of whoever got in their way. And that’s the point at which everyone’s competence goes more than a bit out of whack. The local police are out of their depth. Their liaison from the Finnish side is on the take from the Russians. The hit and run driver and his accomplice are locals who desperately need the money but only have vague dreams about how to handle things. And the agent the Russians send to Haparanda, a graduate of the legendary Academy that trains abused children to become assassins, isn’t able to overcome her initial overestimation of just how capable her opposition might be. She’s left floundering in professionalism as she’s overcome by sheer, dumb luck. While policewomen Hannah Wester tries to put her best into the investigation as her entire life falls apart. Escape Rating B+: Cry Wolf very much falls into the category of “Nordic noir”. In fact, the author of Cry Wolf is also the creative mind behind one of the more popular Nordic noir TV series, The Bridge. So readers who either like the series or like this branch of the mystery genre are going to feel right at home in Haparanda and Cry Wolf. The setting of this story is bleak and the lives of the principal characters seem even bleaker. That’s not criticism, as the bleakness is a hallmark of the genre. But, and a huge but here, this probably isn’t a book to read if you’re already depressed unless you’re the kind of person who really gets off on schadenfreude. There’s no one happy in this story. It’s not that kind of story. This also isn’t a story where anyone seems to display much in the way of competence, which is one of the things I often read mysteries for. In this particular case, it’s more like a series of accidents looking for places to happen – and then for someone to happen upon them. But I have to say that it’s compelling to read. I was hooked from the very first page, even if I never did figure out where it was going until near the end. Which, come to think of it, isn’t a surprise as none of the perpetrators seemed to know where they were going, either. And the few who thought they did ended up being surprised by where they ended up – and usually dead shortly thereafter. So the spooling and unspooling of this mystery reads more like a series of stumbles, rather than the usual breakneck race towards a finish. The part that’s sticking with me is that mirror darkly reflection of Black Widow. At first, we’ve got a policewoman whose life is falling apart and a mafia assassin and no relationship between them. But as the story progresses, in its kaleidoscope of first person perspectives, we learn more about the mysterious Katja and her abusive childhood and miraculous rescue by her equally mysterious “Uncle”. The more of Katja’s history we see, the more it looks like her life was rigged. That it might – and still might not – intersect with Hannah’s own tragedy looks like it’s going to power the next book in the series, whenever that might be. And I’m more than curious enough to want to see what happens next! Review: Pets in Space Sampler by S.E. Smith, Anna… Review: Death Shall Come by Simon R.

Germany will have a representative in the America's Cup for the first time after United Internet Team Germany beat the entry deadline by hours. The German team, sponsored by internet provider United Internet, was the 10th syndicate accepted to challenge Swiss holders Alinghi in 2007. "We're glad they beat the deadline," said an America's Cup spokesman. "Germany has a tremendous sailing heritage and has enjoyed success at all levels of yacht racing." The Germans will be led by Danish skipper Jesper Bank, a twice Olympic gold medallist and previous America's Cup skipper in 2002/3 with Victory Challenge. A challenge dossier from China Team also arrived shortly before the deadline and will be closely evaluated by the Societe Nautique de Geneve, the defending yacht club, before the team is accepted as a challenger. America's Cup holders Alinghi, of Switzerland, will race off against the winner of the Louis Vuitton Challenger Series in Spain. American syndicate BMW Oracle Racing, bankrolled by software billionaire Larry Ellison, is the so-called "challenger of record", the team that officially laid down the challenge to Alinghi for the next Cup. Former holders Team New Zealand, headed by Grant Dalton and skippered by Dean Barker, will feature Britain's two-time Olympic champion Ben Ainslie. Italy's entries comprise the +39 Challenge, which includes Briton Iain Percy, the Luna Rossa Challenge, and Team Capitalia, formerly Mascalzone Latino. South Africa will be represented by Team Shosholoza, France's entry is the K-Challenge, Victory Challenge is the Swedish team and Desafio Espanol will race for Spain. There is no entry from Britain after Peter Harrison's GBR Challenge folded in November 2004 due to a lack of partner sponsors. A series of regattas, or "Acts", are scheduled for the run-up to the challenger series in 2007 to boost the event's profile and provide competitive testing conditions for the teams.

Some times we need to manage more than one ssh key. There may be many scenario like you are having more than 2 github account or you have an account and your client want to add your ssh key to their github account. In past I faced same kind of issue and found solution. ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/keyname -C "keyname" Now you can add new ssh key to new git account. And both key will work. For git account it will give the preference to “keyname” key and if auth will fail then it will try to another key. By following about step we can mange multiple key.

Q: Is there such a thing as a "typical" or "de facto" default for MTU size? * *When writing networking software, is there a default, typical, or otherwise de facto standard for MTU size, of which I should be aware? If so, what is it? *Is an MTU size of 1500 (as suggested here: What is the Maximum MTU supported in DSL Standards) a good rule of thumb? *Also, am I over thinking this problem? Is this one of those things people think is important when writing networking software, but in practical, real-world terms, doesn't wind up mattering much since TCP will take care of the details for you? I ask here, rather than on StackOverflow, because I want the sysadmin point of view when it comes to actual support issues related to MTU size. UPDATE: based on some of the feedback, and initial answers, I'm narrowing the focus a bit: * *The application I'm writing will communicate between desktops/servers over a WAN connection *It's typical desktop/server (i.e. not mobile) software, and while it's possible that a tethered laptop will use this software over a mobile network, I'm not concerned with that *It won't even attempt to deal with any layer of the TCP stack, other than the application layer, for optimization *VPN overhead can be ruled out for the scope of this question A: That's a fairly broad question. Is 1500 common? Yes, absolutely, for traditional ethernet on a LAN. Is it safe to assume 1500 or expect it for any connection? No. Mobile users that connect from anywhere may have different MTU's at different times. We sometimes reduce MTU for datacenter servers that may provide services to remote offices over a VPN connection. VPN connections in general will most likely have a reduced MTU, and those are all over the place. It could be 1410, 1390, 1362, or some other curious number. If you are interested in the max payload size for a given tcp connection, you would probably find the negotiated Maximum Segment Size more meaningful. For a standard 1500 MTU LAN connection, that would typically be 1460, but the upshot is it should reflect the size that is acceptable to both hosts. For connections that traverse many hops, it may be unrealistic to expect that all hops have a "standard" MTU, or that MTU can be reliably determined. See Path MTU Discovery discussions on the topic. Path MTU Discovery http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_MTU_discovery#Problems_with_PMTUD Circumventing Path MTU Discovery issues with MSS Clamping http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.cookbook.mtu-mss.html A: In answer to: * *It's hard to answer this, because there is always going to be a summary of things that impact software performance when it touches the network. An MTU optimized for switchport to switchport communication won't do you much good over a WAN link or worse yet a VPN which is going to add overhead and potentially fragmentation. *Yes, but you can't really control what's upstream in all situations! *Yes you are overthinking it, are you really writing software thats going to reach back down into layer 2 for optimization? If you were writing say... an iSCSI driver then yes you're probably going to need to consider things like this. A: You should not care about the MTU as the network stack will take care of the necessary optimizations. If you are using TCP, the stack may use methods for the calculation of the Maximum Segment Size (MSS) which in turn ideally is going to result in packets that are smaller than the lowest MTU in the path. One of them is PMTU discovery. In general, you should not try to outsmart the stack - the layered architecture of TCP/IP employs the abstractions for good reasons. Unless you have better ones, you should leave the functionality of segmentation and fragmentation where it has been designed to be. As others have written, there is no "safe MTU" to assume aside from the minimum defined MTU for IP packets - which is 68 bytes and thus has rather low practical value due to the enormous overhead. Typical support issues due to MTU limitations are mainly twofold: * *unnecessary fragmentation and thus higher protocol overhead and higher latencies for ping-pong protocols *broken transmissions due to ignorant firewall admins filtering ICMP and thus breaking PMTU discovery along the path Both factors are nothing you should be dealing with in an application. A: Stick to the requirements of the protocol, and assume you can pass the data easily. However, try to avoid using fixed length blocks just over the MTU or a small multiple of it. * *Default MTU is 1500 which is the maximum value usable on the Internet. Smaller values may be required when tunneling traffic. Most traffic will be fragmented and reassembled it it exceeds the maximum available MTU on the link. Only if the DNF (Do Not Fragment) option is set must the packets be less than or equal to the MTU. The local MTU sets an upper limit for the usable MTU. *As most hosts have an MTU of 1500. It is a good default value to use. Some ISPs provide links using tunneling protocols like PPPOE which provide a smaller MTU. Likewise many IPv6 early adopters may be using a tunnel and may have a smaller MTU. *You are most likely over thinking the problem. In the real world, you can't rely on the local MTU to determine the link's MTU. Nor can you count on it being a static value. If required packets will be fragmented and reassembled. For example block size for NFS is typically 4096, and are usually sent in fragments.

Understanding countries through maps You see, but you do not observe. The distinction is clear. - Sherlock Holmes to Watson Active or deep interpretation of maps is a subject that isn't taught nearly enough in schools, which is a bit of a pity as recognizing maps as clues to a country's character can give students an interest in geography they've never had before. Simply taking a good look at a map of a country compared to the other areas nearby is often enough to give one a good idea of what sort of geopolitical situation it happens to be in, and in many cases a good enough understanding of this can aid in even predicting the future between two or more countries. Here are a few examples of some simple ways to read maps. First of all, a perfectly straight border between countries. Sometimes that can denote friendship between two countries, where a certain latitude or longitude is set as a common border, after which there is no fighting over it. It can also mean that the land between two countries simply isn't worth fighting over or too hard to manage. Here are a few examples from countries that border each other right in the middle of the Sahara Desert. Compare those borders to the much less straight ones up north - Tunisia, and Morocco. And after the Sahara ends in the south the borders become curvy again. A generally straight border that nevertheless keeps twisting back and forth will usually mean a mountain range: or a river (border of Mexico and Guatemala): You can also tell quite a bit about a country's situation by geographical oddities. Take a look at this map: Democratic Republic of the Congo is located mostly in the centre of the continent, but for some reason suddenly juts out to the west all the way to the ocean. Nations with access to the sea generally have it in a way not all that different from their other borders (a natural result of a nation's position), but when a large nation has a particularly tiny piece of access to the sea it usually means some sort of diplomatic resolution, without which it could have been landlocked. In Dem Rep Congo's case it was given this strip of land in 1885 by the Berlin Conference. Exclaves are also oddities. Kaliningrad is an obvious example. Kaliningrad is part of Russia, but since the fall of the Soviet Union it has been an exclave completely surrounded by other countries, now the European Union. Supplies sent to Kaliningrad from Russia have to cross two borders - Latvia and Lithuania, Belarus and Lithuania, or Belarus and Poland. The existence of an exclave can sometimes mean political instability if the host country is lacking in influence, as the geographic isolation alone can lead those living there to conclude that it would be better to separate. The area enclosed by the red circle is an exclave of Angola called Cabinda, where there was a conflict between the government and a secessionist movement there until a ceasefire was signed in 2006. The same can be seen in areas of land that aren't technically exclaves but still a bit odd compared to the rest of the geography of a country. Looking a bit south you can see a strip of land stretching eastward from Namibia where you wouldn't normally expect its borders to extend. That place is called Caprivi and unsurprisingly there's a conflict there too between the country and a secessionist group. The presence of a landlocked country where you wouldn't expect one will usually imply resentment or bad blood between one country and another. Take a look at Ethiopia: You'll notice that Ethiopia one of the only countries in the area without access to the sea. Somalia has it, Kenya has it, Sudan has it...Ethiopia doesn't. The reason for that is the country located just to the north: Eritrea, which used to be a part of Ethiopia until it became independent in 1993 after 31 years of war with each other. Not surprisingly, the two countries do not get along with each other. Bolivia has a bit of a similar situation, though the conflict that caused it was much less recent (19th century). Nevertheless, access to the sea is still blamed for a lot of problems in Bolivia and there is a Day of the Sea celebrated each year in the country to remember the former coastline the country had. There are dozens and dozens more ways to guess the geopolitical situation of a country through maps alone, but the above should suffice for now since the post has gotten a bit long (feel free to add your own in the comments below though). I'll end off with one more interesting one. Here's Indonesia: Then Vanuatu: And the Philippines. What do they all have in common? They are all island countries, with a huge number of regional languages, but with one language that more or less unifies the country. Well, with the Philippines it's two (Tagalog and English). The reason for this is that it's simply impossible to manage a country of this type without a unifying language. Countries like Spain are usually able to get by with a number of languages with regional autonomy, but Vanuatu has 200 languages over a population of only a bit over 200,000, and administering this in the same manner would simply be impossible. Posted by 데이빛 / Mithridates at 6:50 PM Labels: geography, languages, politics I really enjoyed this post! It really made me think... these national borders that often seem so arbitrary reveal much about the political state of the involved parties. Thanks for sharing your observations. The first point made me immediately think of North and South Korea's ceasefire along the 38th parallel. I also linked to this from a post in my own blog, but I don't know how to do a pingback. My link's here: http://cbae.wordpress.com/2009/08/28/understanding-map/ 데이빛 / Mithridates said... You know, there's another interesting situation there - the island of Baengnyeongdo (백령도) is quite far north of the DMZ and right across the bay from North Korea but is South Korean territory (I was actually there for a week in 2003). There are a lot of people there with family in the North, because until the two were divided they were part of Hwanghae-do and could get to the mainland quite easily. In that way that border is a bit artificial, though note that here artificial is actually a very good thing for them. Having spent some time there I always feel a bit sad that the islands in the west never get mentioned as much as Dokdo. You almost never see them on the map even though Baengnyeongdo is almost as big as Ulleungdo. Could you, or one of your readers, perhaps recommend a book on this subject? I've also spent a bit of time wandering the earth courtesy of Google, and have often come up with things that have made me say, "Hey, I wonder what the story behind *that* is!?!?" Love your blog, by the way... Tough this artice mentons the facts and soe ofthe situatios in and, found it to be very shalow. "You'll notice that Ethiopia one of the only countries in the area without access to the sea. Somalia has it, Kenya has it, Sudan has it...Ethiopia doesn't. The reason for that is the country located just to the north: Eritrea, which used to be a part of Ethiopia until it became independent in 1993 after 31 years of war with each other. Not surprisingly, the two countries do not get along with each other." The article mentions that eritrea was part of ethiopia. which is a 50 year history. but, in no way try to tell how it became part of ethiopia. for any one intrested to know about eritrea, please read a book called "I didn't do it for you" by Michael Wrong. http://kaliningrad-eu.blogspot.com/ How many other people want independence? nikiman said...

The FEMA director for the island said continuing aid would negatively affect Puerto Rico's economy. FEMA says it will end food and water aid to hurricane-stricken Puerto Rico on Wednesday. NPR reports islanders have depended on the aid since Hurricane Maria, which made landfall in September. Many Puerto Ricans remained without electricity for months after the storm. About 30 percent of the island's residents still don't have electricity. Alejandro De La Campa, the local FEMA director, said: "If we're giving free water and food, that means that families are not going to supermarkets to buy. It is affecting the economy of Puerto Rico." FEMA says it's distributed more than 30 million gallons of water and almost 60 million meals to the island since Maria.

Q: Classify each case in dataframe with significant groups (or clusters) in stratified data I am needing to cluster (perhaps k-means) a dependent variable (Value) considering stratification by two independents (Country; Year); and at the end classify each df case (example top, middle and bottom). df structure: df <- structure(list(Country = c("B", "B", "B", "B", "B", "B", "B", "B", "B", "B", "E", "E", "E", "E", "E", "E", "E", "E", "E", "E"), Year = c(2019L, 2019L, 2019L, 2019L, 2019L, 2020L, 2020L, 2020L, 2020L, 2020L, 2019L, 2019L, 2019L, 2019L, 2019L, 2020L, 2020L, 2020L, 2020L, 2020L), Value = c(64, 48, 20, 49, 43, 39, 32, 56, 36, 32, 70, 45, 36, 40, 34, 72, 49, 54, 26, 16)), class = c("tbl_df", "tbl", "data.frame"), row.names = c(NA, -20L)) What I have done so far: library(tidyverse) df %>% group_by(Country, Year, .add = TRUE) %>% group_split() %>% map_df( ~ .x %>% mutate(cluster = kmeans(.x[, c('Value')], 3)$cluster)) However, I am concerned that group stratification is not being incorporated.

Alvar Aalto (1898-1976) Hugo Alvar Henrik Aalto was born in Kuortone near Jyvävaskylä, the son of J H Aalto, a surveyor. Alvar Aalto seems to have been strongly influenced by his maternal grandfather, Hugo Hamilkar Hackstedt, who was a forester and teacher at the Evo Forest Institute south of Tampere and had a wide range of technical and intellectual interests. The family were clearly well established, part of the professional establishment, and spoke Swedish. When Alvar was five, they moved to Jvväskylä, 20 km north of Helsinki, which was important for the reputation of its schools - the town, home of the poet Elias Lönrot, was described as The Athens of Finland. After passing the matriculation exams, Aalto trained at the Technillinen Korkeakoulu in Helsinki from 1916 until 1921 and he established his own office in 1923. His first major commissions were for the Viipuri Library 1927-1935 - since 1947 the town has been in Russia and is now known as Vyborg - and the Tuberkulosis Sanitorium in Paimio 1929-1933. For these early buildings Aalto also designed furniture and fittings and he set up the furniture company Artek in 1935, in partnership with his wife Aino Marsio, with the art historian and writer Nils-Gustav Hahl and Marie and Harry Gullichsen, to market some of these designs. An early commission to design a major house was the Villa Mairea, Noormakku that dates from 1938. Through the 1940s he taught at MIT, first as a research fellow and then with a Professorship. While teaching in the States, he designed Baker House, student dormitories, in Cambridge, Massachusetts 1947-1949. Returning to Finland at the end of the War, major commissions included the Town Hall in Säynätsalo and the Institute of Technology in Espoo 1949-1974.

Beam lift for A90 Stonehaven Bridge this weekend Published: 11:39 Tuesday 24 October 2017 Five 40m beams which will form the new A90 northbound carriageway at Stonehaven are expected to be lifted into place this weekend, as part of the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (AWPR) project. In preparation for the beam lift, the B979 Netherley Road is expected to close from 8pm on Friday 27 October until 6am on Monday 30 October to enable the crane to be positioned, the beams to be installed and the crane to be dismantled. These works are weather dependent and therefore may be subject to change. Diversions will be signposted. Road users heading north from Stonehaven should travel via the B979 David Street, Allardice Street and then the A957 Bridgefield, Dunnottar Avenue up to Glasslaw Junction. They should then turn right onto the A92, which leads to the A90. Road users heading south into Stonehaven on the B979 Netherley Road should turn left at B979 Mains of Ury to join the A90 heading north towards Aberdeen. They should then leave the A90 at the Newtonhill flyover junction and re-join the A90 heading south, taking the first exit to Stonehaven, U90K Den of Logie Road. The A90 will remain open, with one lane of traffic travelling in each direction, subject to a 30mph speed restriction. Road users travelling northbound will be diverted onto the A90 southbound carriageway. Continuous travel will be provided for road users travelling southbound using the newly constructed slip roads. The beams will be installed in three lifts, overnight on Saturday 28 October and Sunday 29 October. The A90 mainline will be brought to a complete halt on each night for around 15 minutes to allow the beams to be safely lifted into position. These will take place overnight when traffic is at its lightest. There will be no access to the A90 from the B979 via the new southbound slip road during these closures. For safety reasons, it will not be possible to permit through access for pedestrians or cyclists on the B979 Netherley Road; however, a minibus will be available to provide transfers to the other side of the closure via the diversion. Further overnight closures of the B979 are expected to take place between 10pm and 6am on Monday 30 October, Tuesday 31 October and Wednesday 1 November, to allow the contractor to undertake works at the sides of the new bridge section. During these overnight closures, diversions will be in place as detailed above, with the exception of the new A90 southbound slip road which road users will be able to access from the Stonehaven side of the B979 closure. A Transport Scotland spokesperson said: “This is a significant milestone for Stonehaven. These beams are a key part of the new junction, forming a new bridge that will provide additional width for the B979 below and allow the junction to operate effectively. “The contractor has been working closely with Police Scotland and the local authorities to ensure anyone who needs to use this section of the B979 Netherley Road over this weekend and during the following overnight closures has an alternative available to them, while maintaining the safety of road users and road workers. “We ask that road users who would normally use this route to plan their journeys in advance, and consider giving themselves additional travelling time, so that they can reach their destination safely and on time. “We would like to thank road users and the local community for their on-going support and patience during the construction works.” New campaign reminds all road users to #LightUp

Raise your hand if your idea of a good time is sticking your nose in a book and ignoring reality. If so, than you are my kind of people. But I know finding a good book can be hard, and finally picking one just to find it is a dud can be seriously annoying. So I have round up a few of the books I have recently read and along with the synopsis of each book I will share whether you should take it or leave it. Synopsis: Everyone knows a couple like Jack and Grace. He has looks and wealth; she has charm and elegance. He’s a dedicated attorney who has never lost a case; she is a flawless homemaker, a masterful gardener and cook, and dotes on her disabled younger sister. Though they are still newlyweds, they seem to have it all. You might not want to like them, but you do. You’re hopelessly charmed by the ease and comfort of their home, by the graciousness of the dinner parties they throw. You’d like to get to know Grace better. My verdict, Take It! This story was a little different form what I would normally read and even though it was seriously disturbing at times it was an easy read that kept me hooked until it was over. Synopsis: In their hometown of Five Fingers, Michigan, the O'Donnells and the Angerts have mythic legacies. But for all the tall tales they weave, both founding families are tight-lipped about what caused the century-old rift between them, except to say it began with a cherry tree. Eighteen-year-old Jack “June” O’Donnell doesn't need a better reason than that. She's an O'Donnell to her core, just like her late father was, and O'Donnells stay away from Angerts. Period. But when Saul Angert, the son of June's father's mortal enemy, returns to town after three mysterious years away, June can't seem to avoid him. Soon the unthinkable happens: She finds she doesn't exactly hate the gruff, sarcastic boy she was born to loathe. Saul’s arrival sparks a chain reaction, and as the magic, ghosts, and coywolves of Five Fingers conspire to reveal the truth about the dark moment that started the feud, June must question everything she knows about her family and the father she adored. And she must decide whether it's finally time for her—and all of the O'Donnells before her—to let go. Umm Yes! Take It! Seriously this is one of my favorite books I have read in awhile. Synopsis: The Glass Castle is a remarkable memoir of resilience and redemption, and a revelatory look into a family at once deeply dysfunctional and uniquely vibrant. When sober, Jeannette’s brilliant and charismatic father captured his children’s imagination, teaching them physics, geology, and how to embrace life fearlessly. But when he drank, he was dishonest and destructive. Her mother was a free spirit who abhorred the idea of domesticity and didn’t want the responsibility of raising a family. The Walls children learned to take care of themselves. They fed, clothed, and protected one another, and eventually found their way to New York. Their parents followed them, choosing to be homeless even as their children prospered. This is an absolute Take It! I read this book in 24 hours and can't wait to see the movie! In the aftermath of her financier husband’s suicide, Emma Shay Compton’s dream life is shattered. Richard Compton stole his clients’ life savings to fund a lavish life in New York City and, although she was never involved in the business, Emma bears the burden of her husband’s crimes. She is left with nothing. Only one friend stands by her, a friend she’s known since high school, who encourages her to come home to Sonoma County. But starting over isn’t easy, and Sonoma is full of unhappy memories, too. And people she’d rather not face, especially Riley Kerrigan. Riley and Emma were like sisters—until Riley betrayed Emma, ending their friendship. Emma left town, planning to never look back. Now, trying to stand on her own two feet, Emma can’t escape her husband’s reputation and is forced to turn to the last person she thought she’d ever ask for help—her former best friend. It’s an uneasy reunion as both women face the mistakes they’ve made over the years. Only if they find a way to forgive each other—and themselves—can each of them find the life she wants. I picked this book up and put it back down a few times but once I gave it a serious chance I was hooked. I would defiantly say Take It. Sam and Clementine have a wonderful, albeit busy, life: they have two little girls, Sam has just started a new dream job, and Clementine, a cellist, is busy preparing for the audition of a lifetime. If there’s anything they can count on, it’s each other. Clementine and Erika are each other’s oldest friends. A single look between them can convey an entire conversation. But theirs is a complicated relationship, so when Erika mentions a last-minute invitation to a barbecue with her neighbors, Tiffany and Vid, Clementine and Sam don’t hesitate. Having Tiffany and Vid’s larger-than-life personalities there will be a welcome respite. Two months later, it won’t stop raining, and Clementine and Sam can’t stop asking themselves the question: What if we hadn’t gone? Honestly, I could Take It or Leave It. I don't regret reading its but I wasn't left missing it when it was done either. A true story in which the keepers of the Warsaw Zoo saved hundreds of people from Nazi hands. After their zoo was bombed, Polish zookeepers Jan and Antonina Zabinski managed to save over three hundred people from the Nazis by hiding refugees in the empty animal cages. With animal names for these "guests," and human names for the animals, it's no wonder that the zoo's code name became "The House Under a Crazy Star." Best-selling naturalist and acclaimed storyteller Diane Ackerman combines extensive research and an exuberant writing style to re-create this fascinating, true-life story―sharing Antonina's life as "the zookeeper's wife," while examining the disturbing obsessions at the core of Nazism. Save yourself and LEAVE IT! I couldn't even finish this one. I hope you enjoy this post, and please leave me a list of your favorite reads. A girls to be read pile can never be to large.

Navarro 4-H/FFA presenter Grace Vogel takes a break with her pigs — Granger the duroc, and spotted hampshire Dottie — during the Guadalupe County Youth Show on Thursday, Jan. 17, 2019 at the Seguin Events Complex. Felicia Frazar - Seguin Gazette Students set for county youth show The barns at the Seguin Events Complex will fill up as area children put their 4-H and FFA projects on display. The Guadalupe County Youth Livestock and Homemakers Show begins Wednesday and ends on Saturday with the premium auction. The event officially kicks off show season for the children in Guadalupe County. This year judges will see about 1,475 entries of animals, baked goods, handiworks, photos and agricultural mechanics projects, GCYS President Dustin Morgenroth said. “They students will come to the show and get their projects judged on different characteristics,” he said. “From that, we sell 75% of the entries in a premium auction on Saturday. That money helps these kids fund their future projects and maybe put some money away for college.” In the livestock show, students will present their steers, pigs, goats, lambs, chickens, turkeys and rabbits. In the show ring, the students will display these projects they’ve worked with for several months, Morgenroth said. “Showing is really a good opportunity for the kids to get involved, learn responsibility with taking on projects,” he said. “Some of these people have had steers for eight to 12 months. It takes a lot of work for these kids to get these animals ready for show. You have some projects that are shorter like rabbits, broilers take about six weeks, turkeys are like a four-month project, pigs and goats are a four- to five-month project.” Morgenroth, who serves as a judge at several other shows across the state, said it’s easy to tell when students spend long hours working with their projects. “There is a direct correlation to the amount of time these kids spend with their projects to how good they do,” he said. “The ones that spend the most time and work the hardest at it will typically be your top performing at the stock shows. The ones that put the minimal effort that barely feed and water them enough, they’re just not going to have near the quality of animal.” The same goes for the homemaking entries, baked goods and ag mechanic projects, Morgenroth said. “This teaches the kids responsibility and work ethic,” he said. “You get what you put in it. It is a great opportunity to learn leadership examples. It forces children to be sociable, get off the phones, put down the technology. They have to talk to people, communicate, take care of the things they need to do to get their entries in.” While the students take their projects to the auction ring on Saturday, they don’t necessarily have to part with them. Some of the larger animals will move on to the major shows. The event is open for the public to attend, and Morgenroth encourages everyone to come out and support the children, either by cheering them on in the show ring or placing a bid at the auction. “Anyone is welcome to walk up and register as a buyer. They can do it the day of the event,” he said.

Exploring the Truth The Baptist Faith and Message Begin a relationship with Jesus Exploring the Truth Exploring the Truth of God's Grace Tag: 4 Horsemen Riders of Judgment- The Red, Black, and Pale Horses (Sermon Notes) By Matt Sherro | August 10, 2020 | Comments 0 Comment Lesson Text- Revelation 6:3-8 The three remaining horsemen are personifications of the events that unfold under the reign of Antichrist- war, famine and pestilence, disease/plague, and death The red horse brings war and conflict. Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth: This rider didn’t need to bring war and destruction. All he needed to do was take peace from the earth. The false peace that the Rider on the White Horse brings in is very short lived. Doubtlessly, world leaders still trying to cope with the Rapture think they have been under some kind of attack and, despite the best efforts of the Conquering Imitator, the rumblings of war begin. Though the chief architect of the false peace, when wars break out all over the world he will have no choice but to resort to war himself in order to preserve his authority and power. Antichrist will be as skillful at war as he was at promoting the false peace. Daniel 8:24 describes his career as a warrior: “He will destroy to an extraordinary degree and prosper and perform his will; he will destroy mighty men and the holy people.” Among his victims will be many of God’s people (cf. 6:9; Matt. 24:9). And it was granted: This authority was granted to the horseman. This is, directly or indirectly, the judgment of God. a great sword was given to the rider. Machaira (sword) refers to the short, stabbing sword a Roman soldier carried into battle. It was also a weapon used by assassins. The vision depicts a great sword to describe the extent of the war. Antichrist’s false peace, then, will dissolve in a maelstrom of battle, assassination, rebellion, revolt, and massacre. That people should kill one another: Our modern age is marked by war and conflict. Since World War II, there have been more than 150 wars of some kind in the world, and at any given time there may be some three dozen armed conflicts taking thousands of lives yearly. The nations of the world often spend more than $1 trillion on military expenditures a year. This begins the largest holocaust in human history-unimaginable slaughter on a scale never seen before. The black horse brings scarcity and inequity. John’s use of the word behold reveals how startled and shocked he was by the rider’s ominous appearance. The color black is associated with famine in Lamentations 5:10 (KJV). Famine is a logical consequence of worldwide war as food supplies are destroyed and those involved in food production are killed. Jesus also predicted this future famine in Matthew 24:7: “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes.” God has used famine as a means of judgment in the past (e. g., Lev. 26:26; Deut. 32:24; 2 Kings 8:1; Ps. 105:16; Isa. 3:1; Jer. 16:4; Ezek. 4:16-17; 5:16; 14:13; Hag. 1:11), but this will be the most devastating famine in all of human history. A black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand: The scales symbolize the need to carefully measure and ration food. This speaks of a time of scarcity. Scarcity is probably a kind understatement. As the entire world plunges into war and skirmishes the food supply and thus the economies of a host of nations is obliterated. As in the United States during the Depression, in Europe in the aftermath of World War II, and today in many war-torn third-world nations, there will be starving people standing in food lines. But they will not find enough food to live on, as the fourth seal in John’s vision reveals. Following the appearance of the black horse and its rider, John heard something like a voice in the center of the four living creatures. Since the four living creatures were stationed around the throne (4:6), this, most certainly, is the voice of God, the One sitting on the throne (4:2-3). I cannot find a logical alternative. Therefore, God speaks here as a reminder that the famine is a direct judgment from Him. Could it be more clear? Is there possibly a more exacting reference in Scripture that refutes the idea that a “loving God” does not judge? A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius: These prices are about twelve times higher than normal. It means that it would cost a day’s wage to buy the ingredients for a loaf of bread. This describes “a time of famine when life will be reduced to the barest necessities.” (Walvoord) We often see great famine in the world today, yet fewer people suffer from hunger today than 100 years ago. However, understanding the world’s precarious ecological balance, it would not take much to plunge many into the kind of scarcity and inequity mentioned here. Do not harm the oil and the wine: Yet, the nicer things will be available for those who can afford them. There will still be the oil and the wine that should not be harmed. The disparity between rich and poor now comes to its ultimate expression as the poor will not even be able to buy bread while the rich still have their oil and wine (a metaphor of the niceties of life). It, frankly, beggars the imaginations to contemplate the hostility that these disparities create. The pale horse brings death. A pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death: This last rider shows that there will be a tremendous death toll from the dictatorship, war, famine and other calamities described by the previous three horsemen. John described the final horse as an ashen horse. Chlōros (ashen), from which the English words “chlorophyll” and “chlorine” derive, refers to a sickly, pale, yellow-green color. It describes green vegetation in its only other New Testament uses (8:7; 9:4; Mark 6:39). The horse’s color vividly portrays the pale-green pallor of death characteristic of the decomposition of a corpse. Fittingly, the rider who sat on it had the ominous name Death. Death on a massive scale is the inevitable consequence of widespread war and famine. In this macabre and terrifying scene, John saw Hades … following with Death. Hades (here representing the grave) becomes, as it were, the grave digger, burying the remains of Death’s victims. Death and Hades are also paired in 1:18 and 20:13, 14. Our modern age has seen hundreds of millions killed by dictators, war, and famine. Yet all that will pale in comparison to the death toll coming in the wake of this ultimate dictator. No wonder Jesus said of this time For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. (Matthew 24:21) The death toll is quantified… Power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill: Power was given to the horseman, and given by God. Though all hell breaks loose on the earth, God is very much in control. He still holds the scroll and opens the seals. As it stands, today, there are nearly 8 billion people on the planet. We cannot tabulate the number who will be taken at the Rapture but it is entirely reasonable to think that death toll from these three horsemen would be north of 1 billion people, a greater death toll than all the wars of the 20th Century combined.

I think this is absolutely GORGEOUS - the form is so elegant. A Waechtersbach 'Urania' series handled vase designed by Ursula Fesca in the 1950s. I liked the 60's cartoon. Is it Hummel? after Neureuther´s death. Crackle glazes are typical for the Schweitzer period until the end of the decade, ignored by collectors for many years but re-evaluated during the last years. I think this is the right place? [LEFT] Waechtersbach 'SONJA' pattern vase by Bauhaus pupil Ursula Fesca from circa 1955.

Defense Education Enhancement Program (DEEP) Combating Terrorism Defense Education Development Advanced Distributed Learning Regional Stability in Southeast Europe Regional Security in the South Caucasus Emerging Security Challenges Conflict Studies Defense Education Curricula Executive Director's Commentary Guest Speaker Series Connections Journal Study Group Proceedings Senior Advisory Council Download the published proceedings from the Partnership for Peace Consortium's Study Groups. These groups include the Regional Security in the South Caucasus Study Group (RSSC Study Group) and the Regional Security in Southeast Europe Study Group (RSSEE SG). These groups strive to foster regional stability and international security and where appropriate play a vital role in conflict resolution. Written by Elena PfPC-CTWG TTX Final Report (Macedonia, Nov. 2017) More than 100 senior counterterrorism professionals from government, military, law enforcement, intelligence, international organizations, civil society, academia, and the private sector met to address Foreign Terrorist Fighter (FTF) phenomena in the Western Balkans. The Republic of Macedonia in cooperation with the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and the United States Embassy in Macedonia hosted the Partnership for Peace Consortium (PfPC) Combating Terrorism Working Group (CTWG) event. Conference participants included Macedonia’s new National CT/CVE Committee including the national CT/CVE coordinator, as well as the CVE national coordinators from Albania and Kosovo, providing the foundation for increased regional collaboration on difficult challenges, including FTF and prisoner rehabilitation and reintegration issues. Keynote speeches were delivered by senior Macedonia government officials, as well as from senior members of diplomatic and counterterrorism (CT), including countering violent extremism (CVE), bodies. The keynote speakers H.E. Zoran Zaev, Prime Minister of the Republic of Macedonia, H.E. Jess Baily, U.S. Ambassador to Macedonia, H.E. Nina Suomalainen, Head of the OSCE Mission to Skopje, Mr. Borche Petrevski, National CT/CVE Coordinator, Republic of Macedonia, and Mr. Richard Prosen, U.S. Department of State and CTWG Co-Chair addressed relevant CT/CVE issues within the context of evolving FTF threats and challenges. The conference showcased a multi-stakeholder tabletop exercise (TTX). The TTX engaged participants in an interactive scenario on emerging security challenges to a fictitious country, which facilitated discussions to cultivate Macedonian and regional policy and programmatic recommendations related to FTF travel, relocation, and return. Written by PFPC Admin Doctrinal Change Using the Past to Face the Present - Proceedings of the 14th Annual Conference of the Euro-Atlantic Conflict Studies Working Group These conference proceedings are from the Partnership for Peace Consortium's Conflict Studies Group 14th Annual Conference - titled "Doctrinal Change Using the Past to Face the Present" - and represents the work of the conference's 40 historians and military experts from 14 countries. Written by Ernst M. Felberbauer, Predrag Jureković (Eds.) Croatian Membership in the EU – Implications for the Western Balkans On 1 July 2013, Croatia officially became a full-fledged member of the European Union, thus fulfilling both foreign policy goals (EU and NATO membership) and making a huge step ahead in the process of its long-term consolidation. On the other hand, the other countries of the region are currently in different stages of their reforms/accession processes and it is very difficult to predict the pace of the developments in the period to come. The issue of long term consolidation of Bosnia and Herzegovina is far from being resolved. Moreover, the name issue is still a heavy burden of Macedonia’s EU and NATO accession processes. Finally, the Belgrade-Prishtina dialogue and related developments such as the beginning of accession talks with Serbia and negotiation on the Stabilisation and Association Agreement with Kosovo represent a significant step ahead. However, the full implementation of the agreements that derive from the dialogue has yet to take place and it’s still difficult to anticipate the final resolution of the problem. The EU Meeting its Internal Challenges: Implications for Stability in the Western Balkans Currently braving its most serious financial crisis to date, the EU’s integration projects face grave challenges. Under the current difficult economic conditions, the question needs to be asked whether the EU will be able to maintain its active role in the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) or become victim of a possible European trend towards renationalisation. In this regard, the EU’s stabilizing factor in regional peace processes – in particular in the Western Balkans – could be seriously affected by the financial, economic and social troubles inside the EU. Written by Ernst M. Felberbauer, Frederic Labarre (Eds.) From Self-defence to Regional Disarmament: Reducing tensions and stabilising the South Caucasus - Study Notes These study group notes are a compilation of the presentations and discussions of the 9th RSSC SG workshop, held from 20-22 March 2014, in Istanbul, aimed at discussing the concept of security as seen from the demilitarization or disarmament point of view, juxtaposed against the South Caucasus countries’ socio-economic policies. In short, this workshop aimed at discussing not the balance of power between the actors, but the balance of spending between guns and butter. The events in Ukraine had a stark warning for the South Caucasus; failure to address pressing socioeconomic issues could haunt the regimes in place. What Kind of Sovereignty? Examining Alternative Governance Methods in the South Caucasus - Study Notes These study group notes are a compilation of the presentations and discussions of the 8th Regional Stability in the South Caucasus Study Group workshop. The workshop was designed to test the boundaries of conflict resolution. Under the title “What Kind of Sovereignty? Examining Alternative Models of Governance in the South Caucasus”, it aimed at exploring the definition of terms and concepts surrounding governance, and to determine whether their application cannot be allocated among conflicting actors, or better yet, put in common. Building Confidence in the South Caucasus: Strengthening the EU’s and NATO’s Soft Security Initiatives - Study Notes This is a compilation of the presentations and discussions of the seventh workshop of the Regional Stability in the South Caucasus (RSSC) Study Group, that convened from 14 to 16 March 2013 in Tbilisi, Georgia. Under the overarching title of “Building Confidence in the South Caucasus: Strengthening the EU's and NATO's Soft Security Initiatives” it explored initiatives that aimed to build confidence in the South Caucasus, via the activities of the civil society, the EU and NATO. De-conflicting Protracted Conflicts in the South Caucasus: The Role of the EU and NATO - Study Notes These study notes were produced by the Regional Security in the South Caucasus Study Group, which held its 6th workshop at Reichenau, Austria, from November 8-11 2012. The format of the workshop was based on the successful Regional Stability in South East Europe Study Group, and its thematic concept aims at gradually bringing parties from the region to discuss and form policy recommendations on security issues and conflict resolution ideas starting from a high-level strategic outlook towards resolving particular issues of tension. See where the next 6 months are taking us

This dress (and red color anyway) is pretty dominant and maybe even a bit hard to wear on a day-to-day basis, which is why it is good to dress it down a bit. I matched my dress last evening with a pair of black lace-up flats and a simple denim jacket. But it will also look super cool with leather jackets and sneakers or why not with red boots for a head-to-toe red power look😍 Oh, and obviously with a matching red lip! Great dress. I love the ruffles & the shoes you paired with it. This red dress is perfection in every sense of the word! Love the ruffles too! I always love your post. i love wearing red especially when its autumn. i love your dress, its just so beautiful. What a gorgeous dress! You look so lovely dear, the color is perfect on you, I love how you paired it with that denim jacket. The colors and textures really complement each other.

Fangraphs on Jordan Danks Filed under: Chicago White Sox — The Wizard @ November 4, 2009 11:44 pm Hulet: Jordan Danks, OF, Chicago AL The key with the AFL is too not get too excited with the batting average or how many homers a player hits. Most players are there for extra work, which likely means there is something that they need to improve upon. Danks is a perfect example of that… He was off to an excellent season in ‘09 before fading at double-A in the second half. His raw power does not play well in games, in terms of home run power, and he hit just nine homers this past year in just over 400 at-bats. As a result, his strikeout rate of 26.0% is rather high. Danks has made nice strides in the AFL by striking out just 10 times in 58 at-bats. Even better, he’s walk 12 times. If he can keep that up, it will significantly improve his other numbers, which will then make him a more valuable addition to your fantasy squads. Jordan Danks: no worse than a potential mid-season call-up Filed under: Chicago White Sox — The Wizard @ November 4, 2009 4:15 pm Tags: Jordan Danks, Kenny Williams From Mark Gonzales’s ‘Kenny’s off-season plans’ article: [Jordan] Danks, 22, wasn’t projected to reach the majors until 2011, but his progress in the AFL caused team officials to consider him as no worse than a potential mid-season call-up. Scouts who have seen Danks this fall are impressed with his skills but are curious to see how he’ll adjust to inside pitches. Rick Hahn and Dan Fabian, two of general manager Ken Williams’ most trusted aides, spent last week watching Danks and other Sox players in the AFL. The Sox don’t have to include Danks when 40-man rosters must be finalized on Nov. 20 because Danks has less than four years of professional experience. But he could have played himself into an invitation to major league spring training, as did Gordon Beckham did after an impressive showing in the AFL. … Gonzales has more on Jermaine Dye, Scott Podsednik, Mark Kotsay, Ramon Castro, Octavio Dotel, and Bobby Jenks.

Not when at the ripe old age of 24, Danks seems to be just beginning to reach his full potential as one of the American League’s elite starters. Nonetheless, Danks enters the 2010 campaign hoping to be contractually beholden for a number of years to the White Sox team giving him this particular chance to shine on the mound. “It would be nice to have the security,” said Danks, who has that security, even if he doesn’t officially possess it in writing. “I’m very excited to sign a multi-year deal.” … Filed under: Chicago White Sox — The Wizard @ November 4, 2009 11:18 am Tags: 2009 AFL, Brent Morel, Jordan Danks Peoria Javelinas vs. Scottsdale Scorpions: Boxscore, Gameday.

I was agreeing with your comment. Sorry, mate! I just got your PM, and I also read it again. Missed a couple of words. Got it now! Thanks! Will rephrase it to say that you should definately stay a bit longer, so you always can go in and correct me when my whish to attack gets in conflict of common sense and understanding. But do you now understand the difference between a .357 and a .38 round fired from the same gun....? I always say no-one, including me, is inflammable. Especially with english and speling. The Stimulating World of Retirement.!!!. Methamphetamines make people crazy. They had better get a handle on the meth problem. firing a .357 magnum bullet from a .38 special gun would result in no hand or face. Actually it wouldn't fit in the .38 special gun, just for the reason you mentioned. Dirty Harry liked to carry a 357 magnum ..... are you feeling lucky punk?

Home Outdoors Bringing back the pulse of the Smokies Bringing back the pulse of the Smokies by botany, animals, Becky Johnson Some species that have disappeared from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park over the past two centuries are finding their way back again, thanks to restoration efforts of park rangers and wildlife lovers. While the reintroduction of elk has claimed most of the attention, here’s a look at others that have made a final stand in the Smokies. River Otters Since the arrival of European settlers in the Smokies, the river otter were sought by trappers for the fur trade. The animals that were once common all over the park were eventually trapped and hunted to extinction in the area. Reintroduction efforts began in the Smokies in 1986 with more than 100 otters released over a decade. Peregrine Falcons Peregrine falcons, known for their lightening speeds of up to 200 miles per hour and deadly talons, disappeared from the Smokies — and nearly from the face of North America — due to exposure to the harmful pesticide DDT before it was banned. As part of a captive breeding and recovery program, more than 6,000 were released nationwide, including many in the park during the ‘80s and ‘90s. Only one of the Smokies’ reintroductions has failed, that of the endangered Red Wolf. Red Wolves were close to extinction in the late 1970s, with none left in the wild and only 30 in a captive-breeding program. Several pairs were released in the Smokies in the early 1990s. Pup survival rate was poor, however, and adults had trouble finding enough to eat given competition from coyotes. After eight years, the park decided it could not support a wolf population and removed the few that were left. GSMNP 75 Great Smoky Mountains National Park Feature

Good plugin development and support lead to more downloads. More downloads mean more money and a better reputation. Read on to learn how you can develop good-quality products with these seven golden rules. Good development and support lead to more downloads. More downloads mean more money and a better reputation. This article will show you the lessons I’ve learned and the mistakes I’ve made, so that you can improve your plugin development. If your plugin doesn’t solve a problem, it won’t get downloaded. It’s as simple as that. Take the Advanced Cron Manager plugin (8,000+ active installations). It helps WordPress users who are having a hard time debugging their cron. The plugin was written out of a need — I needed something to help myself. I didn’t need to market this one, because people already needed it. It scratched their itch. On the other hand, there’s the Bug — fly on the screen plugin (70+ active installations). It randomly simulates a fly on the screen. It doesn’t really solve a problem, so it’s not going to have a huge audience. It was a fun plugin to develop, though. Focus on a problem. When people don’t see their SEO performing well, they install an SEO plugin. When people want to speed up their website, they install a caching plugin. When people can’t find a solution to their problem, then they find a developer who writes a solution for them. As David Hehenberger attests in his article about writing a successful plugin, need is a key factor in the WordPress user’s decision of whether to install a particular plugin. If you have an opportunity to solve someone’s problem, take a chance. Don’t neglect your support. Don’t treat it like a must, but more like an opportunity. Good-quality support is critical in order for your plugin to grow. Even a plugin with the best code will get some support tickets. The more people who use your plugin, the more tickets you’ll get. A better user experience will get you fewer tickets, but you will never reach inbox 0. Every time someone posts a message in a support forum, I get an email notification immediately, and I respond as soon as I can. It pays off. The vast majority of my good reviews were earned because of the support. This is a side effect: Good support often translates to 5-star reviews. When you provide excellent support, people start to trust you and your product. And a plugin is a product, even if it’s completely free and open-source. Good support is more complex than about writing a short answer once a day. When your plugin gains traction, you’ll get several tickets per day. It’s a lot easier to manage if you’re proactive and answer customers’ questions before they even ask. Create an FAQ section in your repository. Pin the “Before you ask” thread at the top of your support forum, highlighting the troubleshooting tips and FAQ. Make sure your plugin is simple to use and that users know what they should do after they install it. UX is important. Analyze the support questions and fix the pain points. Set up a board where people can vote for the features they want. Create a video showing how the plugin works, and add it to your plugin’s main page in the WordPress.org repository. It doesn’t really matter what software you use to support your product. The WordPress.org’s official support forum works just as well as email or your own support system. I use WordPress.org’s forum for the free plugins and my own system for the premium plugins. Composer is package-manager software. A repository of packages is hosted on packagist.org, and you can easily download them to your project. It’s like NPM or Bower for PHP. Managing your third-party packages the way Composer does is a good practice, but don’t use it in your WordPress project. I know, I dropped a bomb. Let me explain. Composer is great software. I use it myself, but not in public WordPress projects. The problem lies in conflicts. WordPress doesn’t have any global package manager, so each and every plugin has to load dependencies of their own. When two plugins load the same dependency, it causes a fatal error. There isn’t really an ideal solution to this problem, but Composer makes it worse. You can bundle the dependency in your source manually and always check whether you are safe to load it. Composer’s issue with WordPress plugins is still not solved, and there won’t be any viable solution to this problem in the near future. The problem was raised many years ago, and, as you can read in WP Tavern’s article, many developers are trying to solve it, without any luck. The best you can do is to make sure that the conditions and environment are good to run your code. Don’t support very old versions of PHP, like 5.2. The security issues and maintenance aren’t worth it, and you’re not going to earn more installations from those older versions. Go with PHP 5.6 as a minimal requirement, even though official support will be dropped by the end of 2018. WordPress itself requires PHP 7.2. There’s a movement that discourages support of legacy PHP versions. The Yoast team released the Whip library, which you can include in your plugin and which displays to your users important information about their PHP version and why they should upgrade. Tell your users which versions you do support, and make sure their website doesn’t break after your plugin is installed on too low a version. Writing good code is tough in the beginning. It takes time to learn the “SOLID” principles and design patterns and to change old coding habits. It once took me three days to display a simple string in WordPress, when I decided to rewrite one of my plugins using better coding practices. It was frustrating knowing that it should have taken 30 minutes. Switching my mindset was painful but worth it. Why was it so hard? Because you start writing code that seems at first to be overkill and not very intuitive. I kept asking myself, “Is this really needed?” For example, you have to separate the logic into different classes and make sure each is responsible for a single thing. You also have to separate classes for the translation, custom post type registration, assets management, form handlers, etc. Then, you compose the bigger structures out of the simple small objects. That’s called dependency injection. That’s very different from having “front end” and “admin” classes, where you cram all your code. The other counterintuitive practice was to keep all actions and filters outside of the constructor method. This way, you’re not invoking any actions while creating the objects, which is very helpful for unit testing. You also have better control over which methods are executed and when. I wish I knew this before I wrote a project with an infinite loop caused by the actions in the constructor methods. Those kinds of bugs are hard to trace and hard to fix. The project had to be refactored. The above are but a few examples, but you should get to know the SOLID principles. These are valid for any system and any coding language. When you follow all of the best practices, you reach the point where every new feature just fits in. You don’t have to tweak anything or make any exceptions to the existing code. It’s amazing. Instead of getting more complex, your code just gets more advanced, without losing flexibility. Also, format your code properly, and make sure every member of your team follows a standard. Standards will make your code predictable and easier to read and test. WordPress has its own standards, which you can implement in your projects. I learned this lesson the hard way. Lack of testing led me to release a new version of a plugin with a fatal error. Twice. Both times, I got a 1-star rating, which I couldn’t turn into a positive review. You can test manually or automatically. Travis CI is a continuous testing product that integrates with GitHub. I’ve built a really simple test suite for my Notification plugin that just checks whether the plugin can boot properly on every PHP version. This way, I can be sure the plugin is error-free, and I don’t have to pay much attention to testing it in every environment. Each automated test takes a fraction of a second. 100 automated tests will take about 10 minutes to complete, whereas manual testing needs about 2 minutes for each case. The more time you invest in testing your plugin up front, the more it will save you in the long run. To get started with automated testing, you can use the WP-CLI \\`wp scaffold plugin-test\\` command, which installs all of the configuration you need. It’s a cliche that developers don’t like to write documentation. It’s the most boring part of the development process, but a little goes a long way. Write self-documenting code. Pay attention to variable, function and class names. Don’t make any complicated structures, like cascades that can’t be read easily. Another way to document code is to use the “doc block”, which is a comment for every file, function and class. If you write how the function works and what it does, it will be so much easier to understand when you need to debug it six months from now. WordPress Coding Standards covers this part by forcing you to write the doc blocks. Using both techniques will save you the time of writing the documentation, but the code documentation is not going to be read by everyone. For the end user, you have to write high-quality, short and easy-to-read articles explaining how the system works and how to use it. Videos are even better; many people prefer to watch a short tutorial than read an article. They are not going to look at the code, so make their lives easier. Good documentation also reduces support tickets. These seven rules have helped me develop good-quality products, which are starting to be a core business at BracketSpace. I hope they’ll help you in your journey with WordPress plugins as well. Let me know in the comments what your golden development rule is or whether you’ve found any of the above particularly helpful.

The Players’ Voice The Panther Speakers Series Panther Prints The student news site of Duncanville High School Baseball team gets new field ! Photo by Donaji Gutierrez By Donaji Gutierrez, Writer/ Photographer The Duncanville High School Baseball team has been very successful this past year. In the year 2019 this group of talented young men won first in District. The team has put a lot of hard work and they finally got the Field they deserve. A couple of the players shared their thoughts about the field. Senior, Rolando Ramirez, claims that the field makes the rest of his team mates excited for the new season to compete on new grounds. Senior , Alexander Sierra, thinks that this new field was very much needed and it will allow the program to grow as a team. Everyone has a different perspective on this team. Junior ,Jackson Todd ,considers the team as his own family and pretty much the rest of the team considers themselves family too. “ It’s as if when you walk into the locker room and you know everybody there has your back “ Junior , Jonas Gipson tells us. “The coaches push the players to their best even if they don’t feel like working out, those are the days they push the team the most ”says Rolando Ramirez. “The teammates have a lot of passion and they input all their work into it.” says senior Joshua Barrios. This Team has a lot of potential with practicing 8th block and after school ,these guys have it all and they will win once again this new season starting Feb. 8th 2020. To many of these players, they have been in the program since they have been in the 7th grade ! Each player has grown as a player and they have all improved their skills since they first started . The best part of it all is that the program is FREE! Which is senior ,Jeremiah Jones favorite thing about the program. They get to do what they love at no cost. Junior, Pierce Beaty, says that he puts a lot of time after school and even before school. To players like Junior , Eric Gallegos, who says “ The program is my way to de stress from the day and have fun and get better,” it’s the thing the look forward to the most after a long day at school. Many of these players are playing professional baseball after high school and college. Senior , Jose Carranza , says that “ we all love the game and have a vision of our future, whatever that may be.” Even if they don’t continue they all put their heart and soul on that field and do the very best they can. With this new field the team deserves the very best of luck in their future season. Jermiah Jones shares with us that the last time they won state was in 1990 this could be the year these young men win it all.

For the first time ever Drawing Lessons from one of the most widely respected and sought after art instructors in the art world. This drawing instructional DVD features his Principles of Drawing. Ted Seth Jacobs lets you in on the secrets... Ted Seth Jacobs Ted Seth Jacobs’ artistic career has spanned more than five decades. Born in 1927, he began teaching at the age of eighteen, as an occasional substitute for his Art Students League instructor. At age fifteen Ted Seth Jacobs won first prize in a nationwide contest for high school art. The author began exhibiting in New York galleries in 1952 and in 1952, he won first prize in the nationwide Stacey scholarship contest. Since then, he has had over seventy one-man exhibitions in America and in France, where he continues to exhibit. He has also participated in numerous group exhibitions, and received hundreds of portrait painting and drawing commissions, as well as a large number of commissions... Drawing Principles These principles are the artist guide to drawing the human form and were developed to guide the artist into mastering the human body in their own work. They include: Universality of Structure – Every body has the same basic structure Unity & Complexity – Every body has to move as unit in a fluid motion, yet there are so many structures it is complex. Continuity – Vital forces inside body that have to flow without interruption. Certain shapes facilitate this fluidity and others block it. Perspective Effect – How things would look if they were blocks and tilted in space Tapering – All body structures are to some degree tapered so they fit together... Jeff Hayes commented about him as a teacher in this 2005 post: Although he has a very kindly and unassuming manner, I was immediately thunderstruck by both the depth and breadth of the knowledge and insight be brings to bear on the practice of painting and drawing. In the space of just a few sentences, he would touch on physics, anatomy, geometry, optics, engineering, art history, pedogogy, physiology, materials, perception, oh, and philosophy to boot. And these were not the abstracted mental meanderings of a scattered intellectual. Rather, all his comments had direct relevance to the subject at hand, which is to say aspects of drawing the human body. It was really a virtuoso performance,...

Lost With No Sense Of PRIDE: Bridging the Knowledge Gap In MMA By Mauro With the UFC on Fox event that took place on November 12th, the sport of Mixed Martial Arts has turned the corner and is heading into a new frontier. UFC president Dana White has the business acumen to push the global brand of the UFC and the sport of Mixed Martial Arts to heights not thought imaginable just a few short years ago. These are two undisputed facts that are beyond question. The major question is what type of growing pains will true MMA fans have to endure to see the sport reach its full potential? Come along with me on a little adventure. A stroll down memory lane if you will. This story will begin like a lot of stories in modern martial arts across the globe and specifically here in America. I watched UFC 1 and was blown away by the skinny Brazilian guy who decimated his opponents by submission. I knew then that I had to learn some form of grappling arts. (Sound familiar yet?) Less than a year later I found myself sporting a wrestling singlet and shooting half nelsons until I could do them in my sleep. This, however, was not my motivation to train or compete in mixed martial arts. That motivation came roughly 4 years later in 1997. I can recall gathering around on a friend’s couch and waiting in anticipation for this new thing called the Pride Fighting Championships. My life was forever changed. The Japanese promotion took what was being billed as human cock fighting here in the states and made it a regal event. It was less novelty and more class and finesse. There was something about the way that the competitors carried themselves in the early PFC days. The pageantry of the events is still unmatched in today’s combat arts. But most importantly to this journey that you and I are embarked upon were the Japanese fans. I had never seen a major sporting event where the fans were so knowledgeable, classy, respectful, and appreciative of the entertainment that they were receiving. Looking back, I can remember the utter silence in the Tokyo Dome on that night in October of 1997. It was a silence that cannot be described in words. There were roughly 47,000 people in attendance that evening and all of them were on the edge of their seats. Amazingly though, when two of the combatants engaged in a clinch, not a single person booed. When there was a stale-mate in half-guard, the echo of disapproval did not rain down. Instead what happened was amazing. The crowd understood the subtle nuances of the fight game. It was as if they understood that they were coming to watch two highly skilled athletes compete in an athletic event of the highest nature and appreciated the combatants for the performance they were exhibiting. They actually cheered at the execution of small grappling techniques. How unfathomable is that in today’s MMA landscape where the loudest cheer of a fight is when the referee stands a fight back up from the grounded position? As fight fans we need to become more educated. Dare I say, we need to be more like the Japanese fight fans. One of the greatest finishes to any MMA contest was the front kick to the face of Vitor Belfort by Anderson Silva. The crowd exploded when Belfort’s knees buckled and he collapsed to the canvas. What is lost on that moment is the chorus of boos that were filling the stadium just moments before. Anderson Silva is known to be a slow starter and a meticulous counter striker. To a knowledgeable fight fan it was only a matter of time before that spider struck his prey but the impatient fans in attendance wanted no part of that. Instead, they wanted the two combatants to fight the way the fans wanted, not the way that was intelligent for the fighters whose careers and safety was on the line. I was going to list more examples of this type of unappreciative behavior from American fight fans but I found that the number of incidents were too numerous to even begin to scratch the surface. Don’t take my word though, pay attention to the crowd reactions during “boring” parts of the next MMA event you are watching. What we need to realize as fight fans is the fact that this is not the NFL, MLB or the NBA. When a quarterback of an NFL team throws an interception he will get a chance to make up for that mistake on the next possession for his team. If a linebacker misses a tackle he has a safety and a cornerback behind him to help corral the ball carrier and he will get a chance to redeem himself on the next down. If a pitcher gives up a hit he has fielders backing him up and he too will get a chance to make up for that pitch with the next batter. MMA fighters are not afforded these luxuries. If you make one error inside the cage or ring that could be the end of your stint in that particular promotion or even your career. One loss can lead to a fighter being cut and losing the livelihood that their family’s depend upon. Sure most of us would all love to see a Griffin vs. Bonnar style slugfest for every fight that takes place but these expectations are unreasonable. Most professional fighters only get a few fights per year due to the amount of time that it takes to prepare for each contest. Because of this they have to make the very best of every opportunity that they are given. They do not get a 162 game season. They may only have one chance to shine. With that kind of pressure it is not always feasible to go balls to the wall, full bore, for your amusement. The next time you find yourself ready to boo because you feel as though the action isn’t living up to your expectations, slow down and put yourself in that fighter’s situation. How would you react if you were locked in a cage with a trained opponent and the only way that you were getting out is if one of you was unable to continue? Now let’s imagine that you may not receive another check for months if you make one very small miscalculation. How would you provide for your family? Now would you leave it all on the line and swing for the fences? Our journey will come to a close with a memory of Pride 5 that took place at the Nagoya Rainbow Hall. Royler and Rickson Gracie put on a demonstration of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. It was purely grappling technique. There were no spinning back-fists or flying knees but rather slow methodical jiu-jitsu technique. The adoring Japanese fans did not become restless, no, they were so silent you could literally hear the shutter clicks from the media cameras at ringside. I can’t help but think of the boos that would fill any given arena today if Dana White attempted the same exhibition. As fans let’s try to be more appreciative of these athletes and what they are doing and let’s try to educate ourselves on the techniques being employed so that we too can appreciate the subtle nuances of the various forms of Martial Arts that make up the sport now known as Mixed Martial Arts. Maybe that is too much to ask. Maybe I just miss Pride.

Immerse yourself in great history, Beatles, current events, baseball, travel stories and more! Category: Issues/themes 1968-1972: An edgy era of winning films (Editor’s note: This is the ninth part in a multi-part series on the winners of the Academy Award for Best Picture. They are being presented in chronological order with “Wings,” the first winner, included among the movies reviewed and/or described in the first part.) The five Oscar winners for Best Picture winners between 1968 and 1972 all had a certain edgy quality to them, even the musical “Oliver,” based on a Charles Dickens book and the stage musical, fits that description. Those films were certainly reflective of the times with social upheavals, the U.S. presidency of Richard M. Nixon, the ongoing Vietnam War and many other issues shaking the times. Oliver!, 1968, directed by Carol Reed Mark Lester as Oliver seeking more food. “Oliver!,” the 1968 Academy Award Best Picture winner, not only leaves one humming some of its tunes, but thinking about some of the issues the story raises. Based on Charles Dickens’ “Oliver Twist,” the movie is story is about a young boy swept into a gang of youthful thieves. It’s a story about poverty, too, and what it forces some people to do. That is still a very relevant issue today at it was in 1968 and when Dickens novel was first published as a serial between 1837–39. At a little more than 2-1/2 hours, Oliver! is plenty of entertainment per entertainment dollar in addition to being thought-provoking. The memorable songs include “Consider Yourself Part of the Family,” “I’ll Do Anything,” “Food Glorious Food,” and “As Long as He Needs Me.” The cast includes Ron Moody, Shani Walls, Oliver Reed, Mark Lester, Jack Wild and Hugh Griffith. Other contenders for Best Picture in 1968 included “Funny Girl,” “The Lion in Winter,” and “Romeo and Juliet.” Midnight Cowboy, 1969, directed by John Schlesinger Although its original rating has been changed, “Midnight Cowboy” is the only Best Picture winner with the distinction of having a “X” rating when it was first released. The film had been approved with an “R,” but after United Artist executives consulted a psychologist who said that the “homosexual frame of reference” and its “possible influence upon youngsters,” the studio agreed to accept the X rating. The Motion Picture Association of America ultimately changed its rating system and the movie got its R rating. This is a gritty film about a naive, young Texas man, played by Jon Voight, who thinks he can make a great living as a gigolo in New York City. Once there, he meets the street-savvy, homeless, dying Ratso, played by Dustin Hoffman. In “Midnight Cowboy,” Hoffman as Ratso yells one of the all-time classic movie lines as he walks across NYC street traffic: ” “I’m walkin’ here!” That line reached No. 27 on the American Film Institute’s “100 Years…100 Movie Quotes.” Additionally, the song “Everybody’s Talkin’,'” which is featured throughout the movie, won Harry Nilsson a Grammy Award for Best Male Vocal Performance In many ways, this is a very down movie, but sadly the story of beautiful dreams destroyed by harsh realities is still a true story for many people today. The other contenders for the 1969 Best Picture Award included “Anne of the Thousand Days,” “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” “Hello Dolly,” and “Z.” Patton, 1970, directed by Franklin J. Schaffner The Academy Award Best Picture winning “Patton” is described as a milestone in screen bio-pics by many critics. George C.. Scott as Gen. Patton in “Patton” George C. Scott extensively studied the brilliant, eccentric Gen. George S. Patton in preparing for the role. Scott displays the brilliance and the temper of the general, who was a major figure in World War II. Scott, who won the Best Actor Award, had refused the Oscar nomination but won the award anyway. In a letter to the Academy, he stated that he did not feel himself to be in competition with other actors. In addition to Scott, actors in the film included Karl Malden, Stephen Young and, if you dig further down in the credits, Tim Considine. Other contenders for the 1970 Best Picture award included “Airport,” “Five Easy Pieces,” and “M*A*S*H.” The French Connection, 1971, directed by William Friedkin “The French Connection,” the 1971 Best Picture winner, is a high-energy, landmark film about international smuggling of heroin into New York City and a maverick detective’s efforts to try to stop it. The great chase scenes through NYC streets are among the greatest in film history, which earned the film editors a well-deserved Oscar.. You will catch yourself moving back and forth in your seat (if you can manage to stay in it) trying to dodge the cars. Gene Hackman is the star of this film, but the great cast also includes Fernando Rey, Roy Scheider, and Tony LoBianco. Other nominees for the 1971 Best Picture honor included “Clockwork Orange,” “Fiddler on the Roof,” “The Last Picture Show,” and “Nicholas and Alexandra.” The Godfather, 1974, Francis Ford Coppola Hollywood has given us many notable gangster or mob films, but the two Oscar Best Picture winning “Godfather” movies gave us a greater sense of that world than ever before. “The Godfather,” 1972, and “The Godfather Part 2, 1974, hold the distinction of being the only films that both the original and the sequel won the Academy Award for Best Picture. In the first movie, we see Marlon Brando as Vito Corleone, the “godfather,” in a role that some critics view as his greatest film performance. The other members of this great cast include Al Pacino, James Caan, Diane Keaton, Talia Shire, Robert Duvall, Sterling Hayden, Abe Vigoda, singer Al Martino, and Alex Rocco. This is a story about gangsters, but also one about families, not just crime families but in this case about Italian families seeking their version of the American dream and power. It’s hard to imagine any other movie winning the 1972 Oscar for Best Picture than this Francis Ford Coppola masterpiece, but the other contenders included “Cabaret,””Deliverance,” “Sounder.” Marlon Brando As Vito Corleone in “The Godfather.” Author rhtellerofstoriesPosted on February 24, 2018 March 4, 2018 Categories Actors, Best Picture Part 9, Brando Marlon, Coppola Francis Ford, Directors, French Connection the, Gangsters/Mafia, Godfather the, Hawkins Ronald, Hoffman Dustin, I'm walkin' here, Midnight Cowboy, Oliver!, Pacino Al, Patton, RDH Great Stories, Voight JonTags French Connection the, Godfather the, Hoffman Dustin, Midnight Cowboy, Oliver!, Pacino Al, Patton, RDH Great Stories, Ronald HawkinsLeave a comment on 1968-1972: An edgy era of winning films 1963-1967: Social issues, musicals, earthy comedy films win top honors (Editor’s note: This is the eighth part in a multi-part series on the winners of the Academy Award for Best Picture. They are being presented in chronological order with “Wings,” the first winner, included among the movies reviewed and/or described in the first part.) The five years from 1963-1967 were years of great diversity and competition for the Academy Award for Best Picture. They were in a variety of genres. The stories happened in the United States Deep South, England, and Austria. “Tom Jones,” 1963, directed by Tony Richardson. The young, hilarious and clever Albert Finney as Tom Jones helps make the somewhat bawdy “Tom Jones” comedy a delight to watch. It’s based on the novel by Henry Fielding about the wild life of a playboy in 18th century rural England. When the film premiered in October 1963, The New York Times critic wrote, “Prepare yourself for what is surely one of the wildest, bawdiest and funniest comedies that a refreshingly agile filmmaker has ever brought to the screen. …They have whipped up a roaring entertainment that develops its own energy (not just from the massive book) as much as from its cinematic gusto as from the racy material it presents.” In addition to Finney, the cast includes Susannah York, Hugh Griffith,and Dame Edith Evans. The others seeking the 1963 Best Picture award included “Cleopatra,” “How the West Was Won,” and “Lilies of the Field.” “My Fair Lady,” 1964, directed by George Cukor “My Fair Lady,” which won the 1964 Best Picture Award is one of this writer’s favorite musicals, but there may have been better films that were nominated for the 1964 honor. In my childhood home, I grew up hearing my father play over and over the Original Broadway Cast soundtrack of “My Fair Lady,” which featured Julie Andrews as Eliza Doolittle. Andrews was replaced in the movie by Audrey Hepburn. The songs are permanently ingrained in my head. “My Fair Lady” is based on George Bernard Shaw’s “Pygmalion.” The tale is about pompous phonetics professor Henry Higgins (Rex Harrison) who is so sure of his abilities that he takes it upon himself to transform a Cockney working-class girl into someone who can pass for a cultured member of “high society.” His subject turns out to be the lovely Eliza Doolittle, who agrees to speech lessons to improve her job prospects. Higgins and Eliza clash, then form an unlikely bond — one that is threatened by an aristocratic suitor. Even though this is a great musical that I love, my preference for the 1964 best picture might have been (if I wasn’t in my early teen years at the time) “Dr. Strangelove or How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.” Peter Sellers is magnificent playing three characters in this Stanley Kubrick classic satire. Other contenders for best picture included “Becket,” “Mary Poppins.” and “Zorba the Greek.” By the way, Julie Andrews, although not cast in the Best Picture-winning “My Fair Lady,” was compensated with a Best Actress award for her dazzling performance in the title role of “Mary Poppins.” “The Sound of Music,” 1965, directed by Robert Wise The Academy Award Best Picture winning “The Sound of Music”was based on the true story of the von Trapp family. It was loved by many, but not all. Star Christopher Plummer wasn’t a fan of the movie. He said in a recent Hollywood Reporter interview, “Because it was so awful and sentimental and gooey. You had to work terribly hard to try to infuse some miniscule bit of humor into it.” Julie Andrews in “The Sound of Music” in the Hawkins family, my mother and sister went to see the movie in a downtown Louisville movie theater while my father and I headed to Crosley Field in Cincinnati to see the Reds play (it was a much better team then) that same day It took me decades to get past this masculine bias against the movie, but when I finally viewed it I enjoyed it and realized that it wasn’t a threat to my masculinity. The songs such as “Maria,” “My Favorite Things,””Climb Every Mountain” and “Do Re Mi” are memorable, if a bit saccharine for some tastes. The story of the family’s music and its escape from the threat of the Nazis is a worthy story for the Best Picture Oscar. Other contenders for the 1965 Best Picture honor included “Doctor Zhivago.” Ship of Fools,” and “A Thousand Clowns.” A Man for All Seasons, 1966, directed by Fred Zinnemann “A Man for All Seasons, the 1966 Best Picture winner, was another winner based on a great Broadway play. This winner is about ethics in addition to being an excellent historic drama. It is the story of the heroic Sir Thomas More resisting King Henry VIII’s demands that More give in and sanction his marriage to Anne Boleyn. The New York Times reviewer stated, “‘A Man for All Seasons’ is a picture that inspires admiration, courage, and thought.” The great cast includes Paul Scofield as More, Robert Shaw as the king, Wendy Hiller, Leo McKern, Orson Welles, Susannah York, John Hurt, and Vanessa Redgrave. Other nominees for the 1966 Best Picture honor included “Alfie,” “The Russians Are Coming The Russians Are Coming,” and “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” In the Heat of the Night, 1967, directed by Norman Jewison “In the Heat of the Night,” the 1967 Best Picture winner, was true to the dangerous times of the 1960s. It’s about a black detective from Philadelphia who is in the Deep South when a murder takes place and he is picked up as a suspect. Sidney Poitier delivers a spot-on performance as Detective Virgil Tibbs and Rod Steiger delivers a stinging performance as Police Chief Bill Gillespie. Tibbs ultimately helps solve the murder. The confrontations between Tibbs and Gillespie during the course of events is fascinating. When Tibbs is asked by the racist southerners what people call him back home, Poitier delivers masterfully the “They call me Mr. Tibbs” line, one of the great lines in movie history. Others in the cast include Warren Oates and Lee Grant. Other nominees for the 1967 honor included “Bonnie and Clyde,” “The Graduate,” and “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.” From left, Virgil Tibbs (Sidney Poitier) and Police Chief Bill Gillespie (Rod Steiger) argue about a murder case in “In the Heat of the Night.” Author rhtellerofstoriesPosted on February 19, 2018 April 16, 2018 Categories Academy Awards, Actors, Andrews Julie, Best Pictures Part 8, Films, In the Heat of the Night, Man for All Seasons A, Memorable movie quotes, My Fair Lady, racism, Sellers Peter, Sound of Music the, They Call Me Mr. Tibbs, Tom JONES, Wings, World War IITags A Man for All Seasons, Albert Finney, Audrey Hepburn, Cincinnati Reds, downtown Louisville Kentucky movie theater, In the Heat of the Night, Julie Andrews, My Fair Lady, Rex Harrison, Rod Steiger, Sidney Poitier, The Sound of Music, Tom JONESLeave a comment on 1963-1967: Social issues, musicals, earthy comedy films win top honors 1953-1957: Big stories on bigger screens By the early 1950s, movie studio executives realized that television was a real competitor and they needed to take action to bring audiences back into the movie theaters. The Turner Classic Movies documentary series “Moguls and Movie Stars” includes an episode on the period from 1950 to 1960 titled, “The Attack of the Small Screens.” Cinerama, Cinemascope and 3D were among the innovations the studios tried, but the solution was big stories told on the big screen in powerful ways. Several of those big stories hit the big screen between 1953 and 1957. “From Here to Eternity,” 1953, directed by Fred Zinnemann. “From Here to Eternity” is a prime example of powerful film-making in the mid-1950s. The Burt Lancaster-Deborah Kerr kissing on the beach is one of the most famous kissing scenes in motion picture history and has been imitated and lampooned many times. This Oscar Best Picture winner draws from the deep well of memories and emotions tied to the days before and day of the bombing of Pearl Harbor as well as its immediate impact. It’s a story of romance, ill-fated affairs, ladies of the evening’s hopes for the future, the military life, the masculine lifestyle and occasional cruelty of the early 1940s, all drawn from the 850-page novel by James Jones. And, of course, it leads to the day that President Franklin D. Roosevelt referred to as “a day that will live in infamy,” the day of the surprise attack (at least to most people) on Pearl Harbor. This film includes one of Frank Sinatra’s finest performances and it’s a non-musical role for the legendary singer. Others in the outstanding cast include Burt Lancaster, Montgomery Clift, a gorgeous Donna Reed and many others in relatively minor roles who would become much better known over the years. The Oscar Best Picture honor was a great choice by the Academy. Other contenders included “Julius Caesar,” “The Robe” and “Shane.” “On the Waterfront,” 1954, directed by Elia Kazan. The strikingly powerful, Oscar-winning “On the Waterfront” featured Marlon Brando’s greatest performance in a career filled with outstanding acting. This story is about a dock worker who believes he could have been a champion boxer, but now is subject to the whims of a mob-run union* with which his brother has strong ties. Now, he faces major moral decisions. Brando’s character is pulled in different directions by people including union bosses (including his brother) who want him not to talk to Congressional investigators and by a Roman Catholic priest and a love interest who want him to testify at a hearing. In addition to Brando, the great cast includes Karl Malden, Eva Marie Saint, Lee J. Cobb and Rod Steiger. This movie won eight Oscars. Other contenders for the Best Picture award included “The Caine Mutiny,” “Country Girl” and “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Terry (Marlon Brando), right, tells his brother (played by Rod Steiger) that his life could have been better. “You shoulda taken care of me just a little bit so I wouldn’t have to take them dives for the short-end money. You don’t understand. I coulda been a contender, I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let’s face it.” “Marty,” 1955, directed by Delbert Mann. The Oscar-winning picture “Marty” was a nice, relatively small movie compared to the other four films that won that award between 1953 and 1957. The competition for the award wasn’t as strong as in some previous years. The story was adapted for the big screen from a television play written by Paddy Chayefsky. It is a story about a Bronx, N.Y., butcher played by Ernest Borgnine who unexpectedly finds love. He escapes family squabbles and finds the strength to escape from what he believes is a meaningless existence. Borgnine won the best actor Oscar for his sensitive performance. Also in the cast were Betsy Blair, Joe Mantell and Esther Manciotti. Other contenders for the 1955 best picture Oscar included “Love is a Many Splendored Thing,” “Mr. Roberts,” and “Picnic.” Around the World in 80 Days, 1956, directed by Michael Anderson. From left, Shirley MacLaine, David Niven and Cantinflas while trying to travel around the world in 80 days. “Around the World in 80 days” is a rollicking, Oscar Best Picture winning adaptation of the Jules Verne novel. It’s a lot more fun than many Best Picture winners, even though some critics claim it has lost much of its charm over the years. David Niven heads up the extraordinary cast that includes some new stars in major roles and several existing stars in cameo roles. The other stars in this film included Shirley MacLaine in another breakout role (after winning a Golden Globe award earlier for her part in The Trouble with Harry), the outstanding comic Cantinflas, and Robert Newton. The cameos included Buster Keaton, John Gielgud, Robert Morley, Marlene Dietrich and even Frank Sinatra. Set in the 19th century, the story is about an Englishman’s bet that he could travel around the world in 80 days. The means of traveling around the world in this pre-airplane and pre-automobile era were by ships, trains, stage coaches, hot air balloon and even elephants. If you get a chance to see this on the big screen or even a 4K Ultra HD or HD television, go for it.. Other contenders in 1956 included “Giant,” “The King and I” and “The Ten Commandments.” “The Bridge on the River Kwai,” 1957, directed by David Lean. I confess “The Bridge on the River Kwai” is one of my all-time favorite films, at least in my top 50. I like it so much that when I saw it was available on 4k Ultra HD, I ordered it. It is a big screen extravaganza with big messages about the madness of war. Toward the end of the movie, a doctor calls what has happened “madness.” Directed by David Lean, one of the all-time great directors, his “Lawrence of Arabia,” which won another best picture Oscar in 1962, also showed a major character’s descent into madness. More about that in a future post. The madness here is not just the Japanese forcing British prisoners of war to build a bridge, but a British colonel played by Alec Guinness who persuades the Japanese to let the British control the building of the bridge. The colonel believes that activity will keep up morale for his fellow British soldiers, whom had been ordered to surrender by the British hierarchy. In the meantime, a former American prisoner of war (played powerfully by William Holden) who had escaped the inescapable island is recruited to join a British team that intends to blow up the bridge. By the way, there is a great deal of similarity between the POW camp commanders’ warning/welcome to the new POWs in Bridge and the Klingon commander’s warning to Capt. James T. Kirk and Dr. Leonard McCoy in “The Undiscovered Country” when they arrive as prisoners on an icy planet that is known as being an alien graveyard. What the Japanese commander first warns and decades later the Klingon warns is that there are no guard towers because there is no need for them. If you check out the two scenes, you will be struck by the similarities. In addition to Holden and Guinness, the outstanding cast included Jack Hawkins (no known relation), Sessue Hayakawa, James Donald and Geoffrey Home. The other contenders included (who didn’t really have much of a chance against Bridge) Peyton Place, Sayonara, Twelve Angry Men and Witness for the Prosecution. *A personal note: this writer believes unions have done much more good than harm, even though that doesn’t apply to all unions. The writer and his family members have benefited from what his father earned because of his union.

Those names would include Laurence Olivier, Bette Davis, Jimmy Stewart, Cecile B. DeMille, Charlton Heston, Gene Kelly, Vincente Minnelli, Leslie Caron, Anne Baxter, and in a relatively minor role Marilyn Monroe. Even William Shakespeare got in on the action. “Hamlet,” 1948, directed by Laurence Olivier. Laurence Olivier in Hamlet This Oscar-winning version of William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” was the first time one of The Bard’s great plays received the Academy Award for best picture. This production was a creation of Laurence Olivier who directed the movie and played Hamlet. The film version was shortened considerably from the four-hour play to 153 minutes. Shot in Denmark, it was lauded for its photography. In case this is new to you, the story is about the prince (Hamlet) “who just couldn’t decide” and was seeking revenge for the death of his father. The great cast included Jean Simmons, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Stanley Holloway, Eileeen Herlie, Basil Sydney and Felix Aylmer. Among other nominees for the top prize were”The Red Shoes” and “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.” “All the King’s Men,” 1949, directed by Julian Jarrold Based on the novel by Robert Penn Warren, this incredible political drama is the fictional story of a politician who rises to the governorship fighting corruption but then falls to the same demons. The movie and book are supposedly based on the life and death of Louisiana Gov. Huey Long, who called himself “The KIngfish.” He served as the governor of Louisiana from 1928 to 1932 and as a member of the United State Senate from 1932 until his assassination in 1935. There’s also a bit of Major League Baseball Commissioner and former Kentucky Gov. A.B. “Happy” Chandler in the character, but Chandler wasn’t assassinated. Set in the depression era, it starred Broderick Crawford, Mercedes McCambridge, John Ireland, Joanne Dru and John Derek (future director/photographer and husband of Ursula Andress, Linda Evans, and Bo Derek). This was a big break for Crawford whom many of us boomers remember from the “Highway Patrol” TV series. A remake in 2006 starring Sean Penn doesn’t have quite the same power as the original. Other contenders for the 1949 top picture Oscar included “A Letter to Three Wives” and “Twelve O’Clock High.” “All About Eve,” 1959, directed by Joseph L. Mankiewciz Anne Baxter, left, and Bette Davis talk in “All About Eve.” Also pictured, from left, are George Sanders, Marilyn Monroe and Hugh Marlowe. “A’ll About Eve” is the ultimate backstage drama with Anne Baxter’s character taking over the Broadway role and life of aging star Bette Davis’ character . In addition to Davis and Baxter, the great cast of this best picture winner includes George Sanders, Celeste Holm, Hugh Marlowe, Gary Merrill and Thelma Ritter. Marilyn Monroe also appears in several scenes. This movie deservedly won six Oscars. Among the other outstanding films competing for the best picture Oscar were “Born Yesterday,” “King Solomon’s Mine,” and “Sunset Boulevard.” An American in Paris, 1951, directed by Vincente Minnelli Best picture winner “An American in Paris” serves as a great showcase for the marvelous dancing skills of Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron in addition to the great music of Gershwin. The plot involves Kelly, playing an artist in Paris, being torn between two women. The songs, choreography and production are what makes this a delight to watch, not the plot. This is not this writer’s favorite Kelly musical. “On the Town” and “Singin’ in the Rain” rank higher on my list of favorite Kelly musical vehicles. Yet, it is an outstanding film, worth watching several times if you appreciate great productions. Other nominees for the best picture Oscar included “A Street Named Desire” and “A Place in the Sun.” Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron in “An American in Paris.” The Greatest Show on Earth, 1952, directed by Cecil B. DeMille. This Oscar winner might have been about the greatest show on Earth, but it wasn’t the greatest movie of 1952. “The Greatest Show on Earth” is a romance and fugitive story under a circus big top. This film lives up to Cecil B. DeMille’s reputation as a fabulous creator of big productions. The outstanding cast includes Jimmy Stewart. Betty Hutton, Cornel Wilde, Charlton Heston and Dorothy LaMour. This writer’s problem isn’t that this is a bad film, but that there were better movies nominated for the 1952 Academy Award for best picture. Those included “High Noon,” “The Quiet Man,” and “Moulin Rouge.” Author rhtellerofstoriesPosted on February 8, 2018 February 20, 2018 Categories All About Eve, All the King's Men, An American in Paris, Best Pictures Part 5, Hamlet, Olivier Laurence, Political corruption, The Greatest Show on EarthTags All About Eve, All the King's Men, An American in Paris, Anne Baxter, Bette Davis, Betty Hutton, Broderick Crawford, Charlton Heston, Christopher Lee, Gene Kelly, George Sanders, Hamlet, Happy Chandler, Huey Long, Jean Simmons, Jimmy Stewart, Laurence Olivier, Leslie Caron, Marilyn Monroe, Peter Cushing, RDH Great Stories, Robert Penn Warren, Ronald Hawkins, Sean Penn, The Great Show on Earth, Vincente Minelli, William ShakespeareLeave a comment on 1948-1952: An era of giants 1943-1947: Top films offer heroic tales, address social issues, entertain Of the five Academy Award best picture winners between 1943 and 1947, three of them dealt with major social issues, one was set during World War II and the other was a rather light musical comedy. These films made a mark for themselves when they won the Oscar for best picture and several of them still are regarded in February 2017 as cinematic landmarks. Casablanca, 1943, directed by Michael Curtiz In 1996, an American Film Institute poll of a jury of film artists, critics and historians determined that “Casablanca” was the second greatest American film of all time (“Citizen Kane” first). Ten years later, Casablanca was voted the third greatest. Why the acclaim for this 1943, Warner Brothers wartime film? The now-late film critic Roger Ebert wrote that although Casablanca was going to be an “A-list” title for Warner Brothers, it wasn’t expected to be a great movie. “If,” however, Ebert wrote, “we identify strongly with the characters in some movies, then it is no mystery that Casablanca is one of the most popular films ever made. It is about a man and woman who are in love and who sacrifice love for a higher purpose. This is immensely appealing; the viewer is able to imagine not only winning the love of Bogart or Ingrid Bergman but unselfishly renouncing it, as a contribution to the great cause of defeating the Nazis.” The film is appealing on so many levels. It has a great dramatic story, humor, romance and is richly evocative of that time in World War II. The great cast of Bogart, Bergman, Peter Lorre, Sydney Greenstreet, Claude Rains and Dooley Wilson doesn’t hurt either. And, all politics aside, I am so grateful that Bogie got the part of Rick rather than Ronald Reagan. Going My Way, 1944, directed by Leo McCarey. This musical comedy features singer/actor Bing Crosby at near the height of his popularity. It was the prequel to the better known today “Bells of St. Mary,” but “Going My Way” took the Oscar for best picture unlike “Bells.” Of the five winners between 1943 and 1947, “Going My Way” is the most lightweight. In addition to the best picture honor, “Going My Way” star Bing Crosby won best actor, McCarey took the top director prize and the charming “Swinging on a Star” was selected as the best song. The rather simple story involves a progressive priest assigned to a downtrodden parish who works to get the parish out of debt but clashes with an elderly curate. Also competing for the 1944 top motion picture honor were “Double Indemnity,” “Gaslight” and “Wilson.” “The Lost Weekend,” 1945, directed by Billy Wilder Nearly 30 years before former Beatle John Lennon suffered his “lost weekend” in Los Angeles, the award-winning movie “The Lost Weekend” delivered a powerful tale of how alcoholism ruins lives. Ray Milland and Howard da Silva in “The Lost Weekend.” Ray Milland plays the alcoholic writer whose struggle we witness over five days. In 1945, a New York Times reviewer called the film a shatteringly realistic and morbidly fascinating film. …An illustration of a drunkard’s misery that ranks with the best and most disturbing character studies ever put on the screen. …We would not recommend this picture for an gay evening on the town. But it is certainly an overwhelming drama which every adult moviegoer should see. The Best Years of Our Lives, 1946, directed by William Wyler The winner of eight Academy Awards (including an honorary one), “The Best Years of Our Lives” is a film about three veterans returning to the same hometown from World War II. Even before the post traumatic stress syndrome term emerged during and after the Vietnam War, this movie illustrated the physical and psychological traumas facing a middle-aged lieutenant, an air officer and a sailor who has lost both of his hands. Directed by Wyler and written by Robert E. Sherwood, the nearly three-hour long movie achieves “some of the most beautiful and inspiring demonstrations of human fortitude that we have had in films,” a Times critic wrote in 1946. Stars in the film include Myrna Loy, Fredric March, Dana Andrews. Teresa Wright, Virginia Mayo and Hoagy Carmichael. Among others competing for the top film honor that year were “Henry V” and “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Gentleman’s Agreement, 1947, directed by Elia Kazan In “Gentleman’s Agreement,” a magazine writer, played by Gregory Peck, pretends he is Jewish and tells people he knows that he’s Jewish after he agrees to write a series of articles about anti-Semitism. His life changes in unexpected ways and almost destroys several relationships. This was Hollywood’s first major attack on anti-Semitism and is a powerful indictment on that cancer. It was richly deserving of the top picture honor. Also competing for the best picture honor in 1947 were “The Bishop”s Wife.” “Great Expectations” and “Miracle on 34th Street.” John Garfield and Gregory Peck in “A Gentleman’s Agreement.

Chair Grijalva, Leading Democrats Promise Oversight of Trump Administration Proposal to Remove Protections for Millions of Acres of American Rainforest Washington, D.C.– Chair Raúl M. Grijalva (D-Ariz.) and other leading Democrats on the House Natural Resources Committee today promised targeted oversight following the U.S. Forest Service’s proposal to roll back existing protections for millions of acres of roadless national forests in Alaska. By undoing decades of environmental protections in roadless areas, the Trump administration threatens severe damage to millions of acres of pristine ecosystems, irreplaceable habitats and invaluable watersheds – all to support unnecessarily cutting down our country’s largest old-growth forest. The 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule provided protections for nearly 60 million acres of roadless national forest, including more than 9 million acres in the Tongass National Forest in Alaska. The roadless rule helps protect clean water, wildlife habitat, and indigenous and subsistence uses. Roadless areas are important defenses against climate change thanks to their carbon storage potential and natural ecological resiliency. The more than 9 million acres of roadless areas within the Tongass’ temperate, old-growth rainforests drive a thriving tourism, recreational and commercial fishing industry. Committee Democrats have written to Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue on the issue multiple times: On October 11, 2018, to oppose changes to the national roadless rule in Alaska On May 10, 2019, to request more information in light of concerns about inadequate tribal consultations On July 11, 2019, House and Senate lawmakers sent a bicameral letter expressing concerns with the rulemaking’s artificially expedited timeline at the expense of tribes and other stakeholders “The Trump administration has turned destructive corporate welfare into a permanent governing philosophy,” Grijalva said today. “Weakening protections for one of the most important ecosystems our planet has left is a colossal mistake, and this Committee has questions about how this decision was made that this administration should prepare to answer. We need to protect places like the Tongass so future generations can enjoy them unspoiled.” “The administration’s rushed and reckless plan to allow clear-cutting and road-building in huge swaths of Alaska’s Tongass National Forest will cause harm for generations to come,” said Subcommittee Chair Ruben Gallego. “Tongass National Forest is not only a pristine national treasure, the largest intact temperate forest in the world, and a key part of local tourism and recreation economies – it is also one of our most effective tools to mitigate climate change for future generations. That’s why it’s all the more important to pass my bill, the Roadless Area Conservation Act, as soon as possible to codify the Roadless Rule and its protections.” “We have a responsibility to protect our communities from impacts of climate change, yet the Trump Administration is putting Native Alaskan traditions and families at further risk by removing existing protections that support subsistence use and provide natural climate solutions, which is a violation of their trust responsibility,” said Vice Chair Deb Haaland. “By eliminating roadless protections for national forests in Alaska this Administration is attacking our shared public lands, and future generations will be the ones who pay the price.” Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) recently introduced H.R. 2491, the Roadless Area Conservation Act, which would provide permanent nationwide protections for approximately 58.5 million acres of roadless national forest. Chair Grijalva and Rep. Deb Haaland (D-N.M.), who chairs the Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests, and Public Lands, are original cosponsors.

Over a quarter of teen girls at r... Over a quarter of teen girls at risk of not returning to team sport, new research finds News 30 July 2020 Suncorp’s Team Girls initiative investigates lack of appetite for team sport due to COVID-19. New Suncorp research has today revealed more than a quarter of Australian teen girls are at risk of not returning to play team sport, following time away during lockdown. The research, released ahead of the relaunch of the Suncorp Super Netball Season on Saturday 1 August, revealed one in four have simply lost interest, while more than half (60 per cent) reported ‘nothing can be done’ to make them look forward to participating in team sports again. The national survey of more than 1,000 Australian teenagers* conducted as part of the Suncorp Team Girls initiative, also revealed team sports was primarily replaced with ‘screen time’ (91 per cent) including 63 per cent spending more time on social media during social restrictions, and two-thirds (67 per cent) of Australian girls admitted to being less active during lockdown, compared to the same time last year. However encouragingly, more than eight in 10 (86 per cent) of respondents recognise the numerous benefits of team sports participation, with almost half (47 per cent) reporting it increases their confidence, and more than six in 10 (64 per cent) feeling happier when they play. Of those that have missed playing team sports (85 per cent), ‘playing with friends and team-mates’ is what they miss the most, followed by almost two-thirds (63 per cent) missing the physical activity. We know the last few months have been tough for our local sporting groups, and these latest findings reinforce the importance of spotlighting the power of community sport and the role it plays in building confidence and local connections. Lisa Harrison, Suncorp CEO Insurance Product and Portfolio Suncorp CEO Insurance Product and Portfolio Lisa Harrison said sport has the incredible ability to bring people and communities together, and during uncertain times these connections are more important than ever. Suncorp Team Girls ambassador and Australian Diamonds netball player Gretel Bueta said the findings highlight the vital importance of encouraging the nation’s young women to stay in the game. “What is so interesting about Suncorp’s latest research is that despite young women being at risk of leaving their chosen team sport, they clearly recognise the positive impact it can have on their lives. Speaking from experience, I know the wins are just as important as the losses to build that inner grit we need to handle life. “We, as role models, family members and friends, have the chance to remind these same girls why getting back into the game can help nurture skills such as perseverance, resilience and confidence. I encourage Australia to come together at this essential moment to ensure we don’t lose young women from team sport.” The benefits of sports are widely recognised to have lifetime impacts, as sport is felt to build fundamental life skills like team building, leadership and resilience. Today’s findings follow on from Suncorp’s ‘2019 Youth Confidence Report’, which found a direct link for girls of all ages between being confident and achieving success in a range of life dimensions, including their work and social lives. To learn more about how team sport can benefit your child’s development visit the Suncorp Team Girls site. #​Key research findings: For the 40 per cent who can be enticed back to team sports, having their friends also participating (27 per cent) is most likely to make them look forward to returning, as well as if sports clubs/ federations ran a fitness clinic to help them get back into training (7 per cent). Those living in Victoria (62 per cent) are more likely than those living in New South Wales (53 per cent) and Queensland (45 per cent) to strongly agree that they have missed playing team sports since the COVID-19 restrictions. Those living in the five major capital cities are more likely than those living in regional areas to say they miss the physical activity (65% compared to 56%) and the positive benefits of playing a team sport (55 per cent compared to 41 per cent). Further benefits cited as a result of playing team sport include sleeping better (38 per cent) and feeling more relaxed (34 per cent), while one in four (23 per cent) find it easier to concentrate when they are doing their schoolwork. Not only are those living in Western Australia more likely than those living in New South Wales and Queensland to have participated in team sport over the past 12 months but they are also more likely to feel that they get benefits from playing team sports (Western Australia 93 per cent compared to New South Wales 86 per cent, Queensland 80 per cent and South Australia 83 per cent). Australian girls aged 11-17 years living in Western Australia are more likely than those living in New South Wales and Queensland to have participated in a team sport over the past 12 months (WA 84 per cent compared to NSW 75 per cent and QLD 68 per cent). Those living in Western Australia (39 per cent), Queensland (36 per cent) and Victoria (37 per cent) are more likely than those living in New South Wales (25 per cent) to have participated in Netball Of those that have participated in a team sport over the past 12 months, the majority (90 per cent) were participating at least once a week, with one in five (19 per cent) participating four or more days per week. - The 2020 Suncorp Super Netball season will be the fourth season of the premier netball league in Australia. - The season was originally scheduled to begin on 2 May, though this was delayed to 1 August due to the COVID-19 pandemic. - *This research study was conducted by YouGov Plc. with a sample of 1,007 Australian girls aged 11-17 years. Fieldwork was conducted online from the 6-13 July 2020. The figures have been weighted by age and region to reflect the latest ABS population estimates.

Jefre Cantu Ledesma Tracing Back The Radiance (LP + MP3 download code) Mexican Summer US Cat: MEX 256. Rel: 23 Jul 19 Palace Of Time (20:28) Joy (5:02) Tracing Back The Radiance (15:01) Review: Performed by an ensemble sporting an intriguing array of instruments (harp, bass clarinet, flute, violin, pedal steel, piano, synthesizer and vibraphone included), Jefre Cantu Ledesma's latest album is a wonderfully drowsy and evocative affair full of drifting ambient motifs, slowly shifting melodic movements and gentle, blink-and-you-miss-them solos. The scene is set magnificently by 21-minute opener "Palace of Time", where effects laden instrumental passages meander across the soundspace to the accompaniment of sporadic percussion and a lone, operatic voice. The aptly titled "Joy", with its haunting clarinet refrain and woozy vibraphone melodies, comes and goes all too quickly before "Tracing Back The Radiance" offers a triumphantly blissful conclusion to a brilliant and beguiling album. Played by: Juno Recommends Leftfield, Juno Recommends Ambient/Drone On The Echoing Green (LP) Cat: MEX 212. Rel: 14 Jun 17 In A Copse (1:26) A Song Of Summer (10:02) Echoing Green (2:05) The Faun (6:43) Tenderness (4:57) Vulgar Latin (2:57) Autumn (1:22) Dancers At The Spring (5:50) Door To Night (1:58) Review: Those with a passion for drone textures and off-kilter ambient recordings should already be familiar with the work of Jefre Cantu-Ledesma. The New York-based Californian multi-instrumentalist has spent the last decade sauntering between labels, releasing a string of well-regarded albums in the process. On The Echoing Green is his second full-length for Mexican Summer. It sees him expertly blurring the boundaries between drone, ambient and dub techno, presenting a range of cuts that flit between clandestine moodiness, sparkling beauty and mood-enhancing bliss. Check, for example, the shoegaze-influenced brilliance of "Echoing Green" and "Tenderness", the distorted, intergalactic noise of "Vulgar Latin" and the layered field recordings of "Door To Night".

He's has been making music for no less than twenty years now, and has released on everything from Type to Last foundation and of course, his own excellent Root Strata label which has seen releases from the likes of Oneohtrix Point Never, Keith Fullerton Whitman and Grouper. A Year With 13 Moons is a 16-track journey into the depths of electronic gorgeousity, where mammoth-like waves of feedback splurge onto more docile soundscapes. Tracks like "Love After Love" or "Interiors", although dark and foreboding in places, retain an element of peace and tranquillity, something which Ledesma is just so damn good at.

He was conceived in the slope nation of Sylhet, on the eastern fringe, and there was some perplexity about his age when he was chosen for the Board President’s XI in the opening match of England’s 2003-04 visit: he was evidently 16, albeit the vast majority had him pegged as two years more established than that. In any case, that was nothing contrasted with the perplexity he caused England’s batsmen. In a wired spell on the second evening, England lost four wickets for no runs, including three to Enamul. It moved him straight into the debut Test the next week, where, couple with Rafique, he knocked down some pins with aptitude and amazing levelheadedness to humiliate England’s batsmen once more. Enamul gives the ball a major tear from a high, temperate activity, and looks set to be an apparatus in the squad for quite a while. He took 6 for 45 – and the memorable last wicket – to send the nation wild with a debut Test triumph over Zimbabwe in January 2005, at that point included 7 for 95 (and 12 in the match) in the drawn second Test.

TechSpace Travel Jeff Bezos Wants to Deliver You to the Moon Brad Stone A little less than half a century ago, a pair of NASA astronauts packed up their geological samples after three days of roving and returned to Earth in the Apollo 17 lunar module. It was the last time that a human walked on the moon. Now the world’s wealthiest man, Amazon Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bezos, and the other company he founded, Blue Origin, want to chart the next chapter in humanity’s exploration of its tiny orbiting sibling. At a press conference in Washington, D.C. on Thursday afternoon, Bezos made his case for going back to the moon and showed off his private space company’s lunar lander. “It’s time to go back to the moon, this time to stay,” Bezos said. On stage at the event, Bezos dropped the curtain behind him to reveal Blue Origin’s Blue Moon lander. The craft features a large internal spherical fuel tank and sits atop four landing pads. It’s powered by liquid hydrogen, in part so it can be refuel from ice water on the moon’s poles. Hydrogen fuel cells will power the device through the lunar night. “This is an incredible vehicle,” Bezos said, “and it’s going to the moon.” Bezos also showed off a new BE-7 engine, a high-performance liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen engine that powers the lander’s six minute descent. After it lands, Blue Moon will deploy a small rover. Bezos also displayed a photo of a version of the lander that can accommodate astronauts, and said he hopes missions can commence by 2024. Blue Origin has been working on Blue Moon since at least 2017. Last October, the company signed an agreement with NASA to develop medium to large commercial lander systems for the lunar surface. In exchange for $50,000 payment from Blue, NASA agreed to share technical analysis and information on potential lunar landing sites. In a March speech, Vice President Mike Pence called for a return to the moon by 2024 and said the Trump administration had directed NASA to “accomplish this goal by any means necessary.” Bezos has been at odds with President Donald Trump over a number of issues related to Amazon. But he said of the Trump administration’s timetable to return to the moon: “I love this. It’s the right thing to do.” The moon has always been central to Bezos’s space-faring dreams, as well as the vision of his former professor, the late Princeton physicist Gerard O’Neill. O’Neill, an iconoclast who passed away in 1992, envisioned a future with millions of humans living in space inside giant orbiting space cylinders, growing crops and harnessing the energy of the sun. The physicist theorized that the moon, a repository of raw materials and free of the atmosphere and punitive gravitational forces of the Earth, could be the staging ground to construct and economically launch such habitats. This focus on the moon as the most effective way to start colonizing space sets Bezos apart from fellow space-faring tech billionaire Elon Musk, who sees colonizing Mars as humanity’s best “Plan B.” Bezos dubbed that kind of thinking to “planet chauvinism.” His pitch for a lunar landing even included a jab at those prefer to aim for Mars. “Round-trip on the order of years,” read one slide with an image of the red planet. “No real-time communication.” Blue Origin’s mascot is a tortoise, and true to form, the company’s progress has been notoriously slower than at Musk’s SpaceX. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rockets have completed over 70 missions, sending satellites into orbit and ferrying supplies to the International Space Station. Blue’s two-stage orbital rocket, dubbed New Glenn, isn’t scheduled for launch until 2021. It’s first stage, Bezos said, is designed to be reused 25 times. A much smaller, reusable rocket, New Shepard, is designed to take six paying tourists to the edge of space for a few minutes of weightlessness. Those missions, Bezos said, are due to start later this year. Blue Origin invited a few dozen kids, who Bezos said were inaugural members of a new “Club for the Future,” meant to “inspire young people to build the future of life in space.” “The kids here and their kids and grandchildren will build these colonies. My generation’s job is to build the infrastructure so they will be able to. We are going to build a road to space,” Bezos told the audience. “And then amazing things will happen. Then you’ll see entrepreneurial creativity. Then you’ll see space entrepreneurs start companies in their dorm rooms. That can’t happen today.”

Tag Archives: Brent Easter UPDATED > Manhattan Dealer Nancy Wiener Arrested: Criminal Complaint Alleges Sweeping Conspiracy to Sell Stolen Asian Art Through Major Auction Houses Antiquities dealer Nancy Wiener was arrested Wednesday morning in Manhattan and charged with conspiring with international smuggling networks to buy, smuggle, launder and sell millions of dollars worth of stolen Asian art thru leading auction houses. Wiener is a second generation dealer who runs one of the country’s most prestigious Asian art galleries on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. For nearly three decades, the Nancy Wiener Gallery has sold Asian art to private collectors and museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Asia Society, the Los Angeles County Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Nelson-Atkins Museum, the National Gallery of Australia and the Asian Civilizations Museum in Singapore, according to her website. The criminal complaint filed after her arrest on Wednesday alleges Wiener was part of a sweeping conspiracy to funnel stolen artifacts into the art market. For decades, the complaint alleges, Wiener has bought stolen and looted antiquities from thieves and smugglers across Asia; sent them to restorers to erase evidence of their theft; and then laundered them through Sotheby’s and Christie’s auction houses, using straw buyers to create false ownership histories and artificially set market prices. The 12-page complaint, signed by ICE Special Agent Brenton Easter, cites “tens of thousands of pages of emails, documents and photographs” recovered during more than 50 search warrants carried out since 2007. Easter has been the lead investigator on Operation Hidden Idol (the Subhash Kapoor case), Operation Mummy’s Curse and most of the other prominent federal investigations of the illicit antiquities trade in recent years. The prosecutor on the case, Manhattan Assistant DA Matthew Bogdanos, also has a long track record disrupting antiquities smuggling networks and is the author of the book Thieves of Baghdad. Wiener’s attorney, Georges G. Lederman, told the New York Times his client had surrendered voluntarily. “We are examining the charges and will respond at the appropriate time,” Lederman said. I’ve asked Sotheby’s and Christie’s for comment on the allegations. I’ll post their responses here when I receive them. The Seated Buddhas The Seated Buddha in Australia Wiener’s alleged ties to the black market first came to light in 2014 when Michaela Boland and I reported in The Australian newspaper that the dealer had provided a false ownership history when she sold a $1.08 million Seated Buddha to the National Gallery of Australia. As I detailed later, the story started in 2012 when a source tipped me off that Wiener had bought the Australian Buddha – and a matching one that she sold to the Singapore’s Asian Civilizations Museum – from an Indian antiquities trafficker. Australian authorities conducted their own investigation and reached the same conclusion. They returned the Buddha to India earlier this year, and Wiener was forced to refund the purchase price. Wednesday’s criminal complaint cites the two Seated Buddhas as evidence of Wiener’s criminal conduct and reveals important new details about their illicit origins. She sold the first to Singapore’s ACM without being asked to provide its ownership history, the complaint states. After I repeatedly asked the museum to release its records (to no avail), the museum appears to have contacted Wiener for additional information. According to the complaint, Wiener gave the ACM an evolving series of stories about its previous owner: first she said it had been in a “European collection” for decades; then she said the owner’s father had acquired the piece in India. Finally, she named the former owner and said he had purchased it while stationed in Vietnam in the 1960s. That name, Ian Donaldson, is the same false story she provided to the National Gallery of Australia. In fact, records seized during the investigation show that Wiener acquired them both from none other than Vaman Ghiya, the notorious Indian idol thief whose criminal case was profiled in the New Yorker in 2007. Photos of the ACM Buddha seized during the investigation show it “wet as it lay on a dirty floor in front of a black backdrop” – presumably as it appeared shortly after being looted from India’s ancient city of Mathura, the second capital of the Kushan empire. The sculpture remains on display in the Singapore museum. Auction House Due Diligence in the Spotlight While they are not accused of criminal conduct, Sotheby’s and Christie’s play a prominent role in the alleged criminal conspiracy described in court records filed Wednesday. Several objects illustrate how the auction houses allowed Wiener to launder looted antiquities by accepting false ownership histories without question. When Wiener consigned a Cambodian sculpture of 11th century Shiva at a 2011 auction at Sotheby’s, the auction house noted that cracks in the sculpture “had been dressed up with plaint splatters to mask repairs” – a clear sign of looting, according to the complaint. Sotheby’s nevertheless accepted Wiener’s word that it had been out of Cambodia since 1968 and required no documentation from the dealer to support the claim. When selling Lot 29 at the March 24, 2011 sale, Sotheby’s described it as coming from a “Private English Collection, acquired 1960s.” “This exceptional figure exemplifies the highest achievements of the Baphuon School and is arguably amongst the best of its kind,” the catalog noted. It sold for $578,500. In fact, there was no English collection, the complaint alleges. Seized emails show Wiener and a co-conspiritor (“an antiquities dealer based in London and Bangkok”) had acquired the sculpture “direct from a supplier, and not through a dealer” for half its market price. They sent it to London to be “cleaned, put together and mounted,” all evidence, the complaint alleges, that it had been recently looted. I’ve asked Sotheby’s attorney (and former federal prosecutor) Jane Levine for a comment and will post it when I hear back. The Doris Wiener Collection Christie’s is also singled out in the complaint for the sale of nearly 400 objects – many of them allegedly looted or stolen – that had belonged to Nancy Wiener’s mother Doris, a prominent dealer in her own right who pioneered the Asian art market in the 1960s and 70s’s with sales to prominent collectors like John D. Rockefeller and Jacqueline Kennedy. Doris continued to deal until her death in 2011, when Nancy inherited her mother’s collection and allegedly destroyed all records of the smugglers from whom they had been acquired. Wiener intially tried to consigned the collection for sale at Sotheby’s, but was turned away because she could not provide their ownership history. So Wiener turned to Christie’s, which according to the complaint only required evidence that the objects had been on the market since 2000 – a full 30 years later than the 1970 standard required by most museums and archaeologists. Even that low bar was too high for Christie’s, which allegedly only asked Wiener for documentation on the top 25 of the sale’s 380 lots. Wiener told Christie’s 10 had come from Spink and Son, a defunct London auction house that has frequently been linked to looted antiquities. Several others had previously been sold at auction by Doris and re-acquired in “straw purchases” designed to create the impression of good provenance. This dodgy track record for a fraction of the lots appeared to be enough for Christie’s, which auctioned all 380 lots on March 20, 2012 for a total of nearly $12.8 million dollars. UPDATE: On December 28, Christie’s released a brief statement on the arrest of Nancy Wiener: “We are aware of these very serious allegations against the defendant and are monitoring the legal proceedings closely. We will withhold further comment until the appropriate time.” I’ve asked whether they will notify customers who purchased objects from the Doris Wiener sale and will post a response when I receive it. Dozens of the objects sold in that sale have now been tied to smuggling networks reaching from Afghanistan and Pakistan to India, Cambodia and Thailand. We’re report details of those networks soon.

In a series of aggressive police raids over the past month, Indian authorities have disrupted a large network of alleged thieves and smugglers that for decades has plundered ancient temples from Chennai to Mumbai to supply the international art market. The raids started on May 31st with the arrest of three men at a Chennai warehouse (or godown, in the Indian parlance). The men were employees of an 84-year old art dealer named Deena Dayalan, who has operated a Chennai art gallery since 1965. Indian and American authorities believe Dayalan has long been a major player in the theft and smuggling of antiquities from South India. Deena Dayalan, via Indian Express Dayalan disappeared after the raid, but turned himself in a few days later. He is said to have confessed during an interrogation and listed his associates and storage facilities across India. Subsequent raids on his properties uncovered hundreds of artifacts, including 49 bronzes, 71 stone carvings and 96 paintings and hundreds of smaller objects including ivory and wood carvings, lamps, figurines and ornamental pillars. As reported by Frontline, The Hindu newspaper’s weekly magazine, policemen entering Dayalan’s house were stunned by the scope of his haul: “It looked like a temple,” one investigator told Frontline. “Besides the idols and artefacts, there were pamphlets and books on temple idols and archtecture. The pillars of his house could be from some old temples. There were wooden sculptures and two elephant heads at the entrance,” said an officer. The raid was not Dayalan’s first run-in with the law. Frontline reported the dealer was accused of being behind the 2005 break-in at the ancient Sri Narum Poonathar Temple at Paluvoor village in Tirunelveli, where 13 bronze idols were stolen. After the theft, an accomplice was murdered in a dispute over efforts to extract gold from two-and-a-half-foot bronze Nataraja, which was sawn in half in the process. Dayalan was released on bail, and the case is on-going. UPDATE 7/4/16: The Tamil Nadu Idol Wing has seized 200 objects from Lakshmi Narayanan, an associate of Dayalan. Authorities found 56 were metal idols, 103 stone idols, and 47 temple vahanas (decorative platforms used to carry the deity in processions), The Hindu reports. Narayanan was arrested and will face charges of idol theft. The police raids have now spread beyond Tamil Nadu are likely to continue in the coming weeks that authorities unravel the smuggling network and sort through voluminous evidence. Authorities have identified the courier service that Dayalan used to transport objects within India and seized his laptop, a desktop computer and storage drives. He allegedly labeled his stolen artifacts as modern handicrafts before they were smuggled out of India through Mumbai, where an unnamed “boss” in the illicit trade remains at large. The investigation promises to give investigators what one Indian paper called “a glimpse of the man’s murky business with several smuggling cartels across the globe.” As The Hindu noted in an editorial, “The meticulously organised nature of this shadowy business hints at the deep and vast network of idol thieves who have plied their trade across not only Tamil Nadu but numerous other Indian States and even broader territories of South and South East Asia.” The Kapoor Link Investigators are still looking for links between Dayalan and one of his prominent American clients: Subhash Kapoor, the Manhattan antiquities dealer now standing trial in India for selling stolen antiquities to museums around the world. “We have not got clinching evidence to prove [his] link with the international idol smuggler Subhash Kapoor,” one investigator told the Times of India. We can help: The following document links Dhayalan to Kapoor and hints at the extensive business relationship they are believed to have had. The document records Dayalan’s 2007 request for a payment of USD $11,400 from Kapoor’s Nimbus Import & Export through Selva Export, one of the Chennai export companies they used to transport artifacts. It is still unclear whether that amount was paid, what object(s) were purchased for the sum, and where those objects are today. But authorities have already identified Dayalan as the source of one stolen Kapoor object that has already been returned to India: The Art Gallery of New South Wales‘ sculpture of Ardhanarishvara, whose origins we revealed in 2013. The AGNSW purchased the sculpture for $300,000 after Kapoor provided documents claiming it had left India in the 1970s. But Vijay Kumar of the India Pride Project identified images that showed the sculpture in situ at the Vriddhachalam temple at least four years after 1970. A subsequent police investigation concluded it had been stolen in 2002 by Dayalan and replaced by a knockoff that villagers continued to worship. Dayalan is believed to have supplied Kapoor with a number of objects from South India. As Michaela Boland reported Sunday in The Australian, Dayalan is believed to have supplied Kapoor with two other objects that landed in the National Gallery of Australia: an 1800-year-old limestone carving depicting a scene from the life of Buddha, and a 1000-year-old stone goddess Pratyangira, purchased together from Kapoor in 2005 for $1.5 million. Kapoor told the museum the sculpture of the Buddha’s life had been in a private Japanese collection until 1999. But this photo, found in Kapoor’s archives, shows the unrestored sculpture above soon after it was stolen by thieves: A similar tale emerges on the NGA’s Pratyangira. Kapoor claimed it had been in the collection of Selina Mohamed (his onetime girlfriend) since 1990. But photos and records found in Kapoor’s files show the Pratyangira was still in Mumbai, India in 2002. Below at left we see the NGA’s Pratyangira as offered in a Kapoor catalog, and at right the same sculpture before it left India. Note the identical missing segments from the figure’s left elbow. Amaravati Objects Investigators believe Dayalan may have been behind looting of material from Amaravati, an important archeological site in Andhra Pradesh, where Dayalan grew up. Items seized from his warehouses include Amaravati architectural fragments. Dayalan may well have been the source of Amaravati fragments that Kapoor sold to the Asian Civilizations Museum in Singapore. As we wrote in 2014, Kapoor sold the ACM a 3rd Century limestone fragment from Amaravati in October 1997 for $22,500. His accompanying description suggests he had detailed knowledge of the find spot: “Examples from the Amaravait stuppa are extremely rare to find,” he wrote. “This particular piece does not come from the stuppa proper, but from the outer rail copings that surrounded the stuppa. It is an exceptional example in both its size and in its illustrative qualities…The iconography of this fragment makes this a most interesting piece from the Amaravati area.” The Indian raids are long overdue. Records show American authorities provided detailed evidence about Kapoor’s Indian suppliers as far back as 2014. India’s failure to act on those leads, despite repeated urging from American authorities and others, has been one of several troubling signs in the long delayed criminal trial of Kapoor. As Kumar recounted in an article about the investigation by ICE U.S. Special Agent Brent Easter: “For too long the red tape of Indian Bureaucracy and the ill equipped custodians have sent him on wild goose chases – including multiple weeks in hot and sultry India, with promises of arrests of the bad guys. Frustrating, when he has done all the hard work and with irrefutable proof of the bad guys shipping documents, email exchanges and bank transfers to see the patchy attempts in delaying and letting the actual crooks off the hook.” It is likely no coincidence that the Indian raids were launched just days before U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced the return of 200 looted antiquities to India during the state visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The returns, many of which had been seized from Kapoor or his clients, may have been used as leverage with India to ensure Kapoor’s suppliers were nabbed. (On the right below is the Toledo Ganesh, which Kumar first revealed as looted in a 2013 post.) The raids have also underscored the need to expand India’s domestic enforcement efforts. The country’s only dedicated art police is the Tamil Nadu idol wing, led by Inspector General A G Pon Manickavel, is now chasing leads across India and international borders. The country desperately needs to develop a national police force dedicated to protecting its oft-purloined cultural heritage. Government agencies should also work more closely with civil society groups like Kumar’s India Pride Project, which has worked tirelessly over the past years to identify stolen antiquities and bring them home, often while cajoling government officials to do more. The willingness of Indian officials to crack down on the illicit antiquities trade within their borders will be measured largely by the aggressiveness with which they chase the leads they have gathered from Deena Dhayalan.

Federal agents were given a court order to seize the following objects from the Wiener Gallery: A 1st Century red sandstone Kushan Relief valued at $100,000 An 8th Century limestone sculpture of Shiva and Parvati valued at $35,000 A 10th Century bronze Buddha from Thailand or Cambodia valued at $850,000 Wiener is a second generation antiquities dealer who runs one of the country’s most prestigious Asian art galleries on Manhattan’s East 74th Street. Last year we revealed her role in the sale of a Kushan Buddha with a false ownership history to the National Gallery of Australia. Wiener agreed to refund the $1.08 million purchase price to the museum, which will soon return the sculpture to India. Wiener is the latest target in a series of high profile Asia Week raids that were quietly orchestrated over the past year by special agent Brent Easter at Immigration and Customs Enforcement and prosecutor Matthew Bogdanos at the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office. The investigation, dubbed Operation Hiddon Idol, began with Subhash Kapoor, who is currently on trial in India. As we’ve covered in a series of posts since 2012, authorities seized 2,622 objects valued at more than $100 million from Kapoor’s business and storage facilities. Perhaps more importantly, federal agents secured the cooperation of former Kapoor associates and seized decades of his business records, both of which have revealed a network of antiquities looters and smugglers across Asia whose objects Kapoor sold to museums and collectors around the globe. In the years since the Kapoor seizures, Easter and Bogdanos have been investigating the collectors and museums who bought from Kapoor and the suppliers who smuggled looted antiquities for him. Easter’s work on the case is highlighted in this short documentary by director Jason Kohn. This week’s raids at Asia Week netted 8 antiquities valued at more than $4 million seized in five separate raids. Taken together, they offer dramatic evidence that Kapoor’s corrupt suppliers were selling looted objects to other top dealers in Asian art. We’ll have more details on the Asia Week seizures in the days ahead.

In December, we wrote that filings in the court battle between the U.S. government and Sotheby’s over the statue had revealed the inner workings of the top international auction house. Last November we described how the case had revealed the underbelly of the illicit antiquities trade. Now it’s the U.S. government’s turn. The exhibits, obtained through discovery in late August and attached to a Sept. 9th Sotheby’s motion for judgment, provide a rare window into the investigation of a major international cultural property case whose outcome will likely hold sway for years. The emails detail how Interpol officials worked close with Brent Easter, an investigator of cultural property crimes at Immigration and Customs Enforcement, to build a legal rationale for the statue’s seizure on behalf of Cambodia. The process eventually involved officials at the U.S. Department of State, the American Embassy in Phnom Penh and the Cambodian government. At one point, Easter asked Cambodian officials to stop negotiating with Sotheby’s for the statue’s voluntary return so that the U.S. government could purse its legal case against the auction house. Read the correspondence: Sotheby’s cites the records in asking the judge for a ruling on the case without the need for further discovery. The auction house says Easter claimed to have probable cause for seizure of the statue when in fact he was still scrambling to cobble together a legal theory to support Cambodia’s claim. The auction house also cites an expert on French law in arguing that the government’s legal theory — which relies in part on colonial-era decrees for Cambodia’s ownership claim — is bogus. Read Sotheby’s motion: The government rebuts Sotheby’s motion in a Sept. 11th letter to the judge, arguing, among other things, that “Sotheby’s provided false and misleading information to the Government.” To support its claim, the government cites a March 22, 2011 email between ICE’s Easter and Jane Levine, a former assistant US Attorney in the Southern District of New York specialized in cultural property crimes who now works as Sotheby’s Director of Worldwide Compliance. Easter asked Levine whether Sotheby’s had “solid provenance information” for the statue. Levine said they did, noting Sotheby’s had “identified two individuals who presently have no financial interest in the property and who personally saw the piece in London in the late 1960s.” Rather than take Levine at her word, Easter pursued the original documentation for the statue, which had been passed from the London auction house Spink and Sons to Christies. Remarkably, the Spink records indicate the statue was stolen from the Cambodian temple of Prasat Chen in 1972, according to the government letter. This is the first hint of documentary evidence to support the government’s claim of the statue’s theft. What else might be contained in the archives of Spink, which was dealer Douglas Latchford‘s primary pass through for allegedly looted Khmer antiquities? Could this archive also be the source of the “dispositive evidence” of looting cited by the Met in its recent return of two looted Khmer attendants to Cambodia? Read the government’s letter: As it turns out, the two individuals Levine cited were Latchford, who the government alleges “conspired with the looting network to steal it from Prasat Chen,” and his colleague Emma Bunker, who later told Sotheby’s the statue was “definitely stolen.” Not exactly disinterested parties, and the government accuses Levine of deception: “The information provided by Levine was simply false.” The next hearing in the case is scheduled for Oct 14th.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the major risk factor for development of cervical cancer. Infection of the cervix with human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common cause of cervical cancer. Not all women with HPV infection, however, will develop cervical cancer. Women who do not regularly have a Pap smear to detect HPV or abnormal cells in the cervix are at increased risk of cervical cancer.

San Francisco has made plans to ban sales of all vapes including online purchases after the city banned the sale of tobacco products and flavored vapor last year. According to Dennis Herrera, the City Attorney: “Considering the health and lives of our children at stake, San Francisco is not afraid to take the lead. He went further to say “the hard-fought gains we achieved in curbing the use of tobacco by youths have been wiped out by E-cigarettes.” Now, it is time to take every necessary action to ensure our kids are protected. Before the advent of vapor products in the US market, cigarettes that were available for sale before Congress passed the Tobacco Control Act in 2009 never went through review. And since then, no drastic action has been taken to against cigarettes by the FDA Center for Tobacco Products. In the case of the e-cigarettes, the FDA has not lived up to expectations. This goes to say that San Francisco needs to step up. Long before the FDA imposed regulations on tobacco product, E-cigarettes, as well as other vaping products, have been in the US market. It now appears ironic to enforce such harsh regulations on already existing vapor products while allowing the known-deadly cigarettes to roam the market without any form of restriction. Today, San Francisco joins Chicago and New York City to ask that FDA demand PMTAs from all manufacturers as a part of the Deeming Rule. These mentioned cities have shown their readiness to sue the federal agency if it fails to heed to this demand. Consequently, there have been a number of lawsuits filed by tobacco control groups, to see that the PMTA requirements are imposed. The proposed ban is a reaction to Scott Gottlieb, the outgoing FDA Commissioner who declared the teenage vaping epidemic. According to Gottlieb, there was an increment of about 78% in the use of this vaping product by high school students in the last 30 day period. This is based on preliminary results obtained from the National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS) by CDC, 2018. Based on the “epidemic” of occasional use, the FDA has made some revisions on a plan to enforce flavored vaping products. Again, there have been some adjustments in the existing flavored products PMTA’s submission deadline to 2021 from 2022. Gottlieb, after helping in the creation of an inquisition-like atmosphere which surrounds the debate over vaping regulation is now on his way out of the FDA. There are laid plans and proposals to ban vape, an increase in the legal age of purchase from 18 to 21, and exorbitant tax rates on vaping products. However, no one is even giving attention to the decline in teen smoking. There is a strict focus on vape products by public officials while they ignore the more combustible tobacco. They now talk about prohibition and the need to fight against any form of child-corruption poison. What is seen today is now a sharp deviation from the usual tolerant city to a rather coercive, illiberal and intolerance one. San Francisco officials are now exploring ways to send JUUL labs packing and continually put effort to restrict vaping manufacturers from acquiring city-owned property. JUUL offices are located in the city’s neighborhood though the product is not manufactured here in San Francisco. No doubt, public health officials, as well as those politicians, have ultimately abandoned the idea of significantly reducing diseases and death caused by combustible tobacco due to the moral and increasing panic over youth vaping. They have shifted their focus on the elimination of a rather feasible and ideal alternative that will effectively compete against cigarettes. Do they expect any credit for such action?

NEW ORLEANS -- The New Orleans Saints signed veteran Kendall Hunter on Wednesday in the wake of yet another running back injury this week. They also promoted fullback Toben Opurum from their practice squad. Those were the latest in a batch of moves that were previously reported (they also signed cornerback Tony Carter and officially placed running back Marcus Murphy and cornerback Damian Swann on injured reserve). Hunter has not played in a NFL game since 2013. He tore his ACL during training camp with the San Francisco 49ers last summer and failed to crack their roster this year. Perhaps the Saints can continue their comeback success at the running back position after veteran Tim Hightower starred for them last week following three-plus years out of the league. Hunter, 27, had 1,202 rushing yards, 268 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in three years with the 49ers from 2011-2013, a span that also included a torn Achilles late in the 2012 season. The 5-foot-7, 199-pounder also returned a total of 17 kickoffs during that span in a part-time role. It’s unclear if the Saints see Hunter as a return man -- or perhaps his arrival could free up backup running back C.J. Spiller to serve as the kickoff and punt returner. Murphy was handling both roles until he suffered an ankle injury this past Sunday. Hunter was a standout running back at Oklahoma State before being drafted in the fourth round by the 49ers in 2011. Opurum, 25, has been with the Saints since joining their practice squad last December. He was on the active roster for one game in Week 1. The 6-1, 250-pounder likely will be used primarily on special teams. The Saints also added receiver Shane Wynn to their practice squad. Others who tried out for the Saints, according to ESPN's Field Yates: running back Isaiah Pead, receiver Damarr Aultman, defensive tackle Cleyon Laing, linebacker Dexter McCoil and defensive back Emanuel Davis.

The Passing Of Nigeria's Umaru Yar'Adua Nigeria's President Umaru Yar'Adua died Wednesday, May 5, 2010 at age 58. Nigeria is mourning the loss of President Umaru Yar'Adua. Nigeria is mourning the loss of President Umaru Yar'Adua, and the people of the United States join with them in honoring his commitment to public service and his passionate belief in his nation's great potential and bright future. Elected in 2007 in the first transfer of power from one civilian president to another since Nigeria's independence in 1960, President Yar'Adua worked to promote peace and stability in Africa, supporting peacekeeping efforts and speaking out against undemocratic actions in the region. He was committed to creating lasting peace and prosperity within Nigeria's own borders, even as he struggled with the illness that forced him to step back from his governing duties earlier this year. Continuing that work will be an important part of honoring his legacy. Elected democratically, he believed in building strong democratic institutions based on constitutional processes, and he hoped his country will continue on this civilian, democratic path. The mantle now passes to the nation's new president, Goodluck Jonathan. The United States applauds his timely inauguration and his efforts to unify the country in the face of the many challenges facing it. At this time of mourning, the Nigerian people should know they have a friend and enduring partner in the United States. /dalet/Editorial_VO_155_015668_050710_Passing_Of_Nigerias_Umaru_YarAdua.Mp3 Nigeria Is Master Of Its Own Fate Nigeria-U.S. Partnership Remains Strong Nigeria's Challenge Strengthening Ties With South Africa Improving Security In The Niger Delta

Dartmouth’s Jason Ray Wants You to Know This About His Outfit Kristen Pacheco Kristen Pacheco Published: April 12, 2021 Contributed Photo Army veteran Jason Ray has been going on rucks (a weighted walk) throughout Dartmouth and Westport for the past few years now and for the most part, folks have happily honked and waved in support as they passed by. But for the umpteenth time, someone called the police over Ray's "suspicious" appearance. Ray’s rucks consist of a minimum of a seven-mile loop wherein he wears a 30-pound weighted tactical vest to replicate the weight of wearing a rucksack. As if walking the hilly terrain isn’t hard enough with 30 extra pounds, Ray also carries a flag with him. At first, his rucks started with an American flag, then an American flag with a smaller Mission 22 flag beneath it, and now Ray’s rucks include a full-size Mission 22 flag. Ray will go rucking three to four times a week depending on his work schedule, weather, and other extracurricular activities. You’ll see him walking a few different routes, mostly sticking to primary roadways like Old Westport Road, Faunce Corner Road, and Chase Road. When you think about how busy the roads are and how frequently Ray is out and about, there are a lot of opportunities for people to drive by him and wonder. While the majority of honks and waves are positive, Ray’s rucks are still met with concern by some. “I’ve had the cops called on me. Someone saw me on Faunce Corner and told them I was carrying a bomb. Other people have said I look ‘suspicious,'" Ray said. "Most of the time I’m actually smiling and sometimes you may even catch me dancing.” Shortly after the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, someone called Ray a "traitor" from their Jeep. “'Traitor' was the worst one, being a veteran. I’ve never betrayed my country," he said. After an incident on Sunday, Ray’s wife Genevieve took to Facebook to just let everyone know that Jason is not a threat and welcomes any questions people may have when they see him rather than yell at him or continue to call the police. “We understand that in the world today, seeing someone dressed like Jason may give people pause because it's out of the ordinary," she wrote. "We know that people wonder what's going on and why some people are hesitant to just walk up to him.” If you’ve seen Jason Ray walking across Dartmouth and Westport, here are the answers to the questions going through your head: Why is he doing this? "Rucking, for me, is about bringing awareness and action to veteran suicide prevention," he said. That is why he carries the Mission 22 flag every time. What is Mission 22? Mission 22 is a program for veterans and their families to help with their post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injuries, and other issues facing veterans. His 22-mile Veterans Day ruck last year raised over $4,000. Is this a political thing? These rucks are in no way political. “My oath prevents me from being political openly. I stand by my oath," he said. Why is he walking alone? “I walk alone because no one has offered to walk with me yet," he said. "I’ve posted for people to come walk with me and offered to meet up with them, but so far it’s just me.” Does he walk in any kind of weather? Ray has walked in lots of weather, from nasty, windy nights to rain to hot summer mornings. If he is set on rucking that day, he rucks. What are the yellow ribbons on the top of the flag? There are nine yellow ribbons with names of veterans who have been lost to suicide. Seven of the names are local to the area. "People send in their loved ones' names to add so they can ruck with Jay," he said. After the latest visit from the police, the family has moved forward in setting up a Facebook page dedicated to Ray’s rucks making it easier for people to learn about the rucks and Mission 22 effort.

The story of the series is about a child bicycle rider who finds his way through his friends by the means of bicycling skills. Today we are going to talk about season 5 of Yowamushi Pedal’s release date, its expected plot, and the characters that are gonna appear in it. Yowamushi Pedal Season 5 Release Date The fifth season of the Yowamushi pedal is scheduled to be released in the month of October 2022. But there is no certain date which is provided by the makers regarding the release of the fifth season of the series. That’s why the assumptions are being made that the fifth season of the Yowamushi pedal may release anytime in the winter of 2022. The most probable chances of the release of the fifth season are in the month of October and December. The makers usually release the shows just before Christmas to treat the show as a surprise. MUST-READ: Summer Time Rendering Anime Release Date Yowamushi Pedal Season 4 Recap The story of the Yowamushi pedal is about a boy who has just entered High School named Sakamichi Onoda. Onoda didn’t have any friends in middle school that’s why he is looking forward to making friends in High School. To accomplish this task, he wishes to join the Anime club of the high school. But as he goes to the club to join it he finds out that the club has been disbanded and it can only be reopened when they are four people to join it. Soon Onoda finds Shunsuke, Akihabara, and Gundam, as he rides off his bicycle through the steep slope of the hill and gets noticed by these three people who are also studying in the same High School Onoda, is studying. These three people persuade Onoda to join the race Club they are in, to win a race.

The fifth season of the series is also expected to be filled with action and comedy. New types of races will put challenges to Yowamushi that will be tackled as a team by Yowamushi and his friends.

Ask any agency owner and they’ll tell you that effective client services are pivotal to their success. A client services team will build and sustain close relationships, ensuring everything runs smoothly and that outputs are delivered on time and in line with the client’s expectations. Those who possess the right skills and attitude throughout their career in agency, from account executive to account director, may find themselves earmarked for the high profile role of client services director. In the final instalment of our Agency Career Timeline series, we look at what’s expected and how this role has evolved in recent years and why building and managing client relationships is no longer enough. A client services director has a number of core responsibilities that have remained unchanged, including managing the day-to-day work of the wider account management team and making sure there’s consistent quality across all outputs, handling and reporting. However, one of the most critical elements of the role is the engagement with clients to gain an understanding of their business dynamic and culture, short to long-term goals and any challenges they face. With this knowledge, the client services director will form strategies and map out the best tactical approach for the account team. - The ability to identify what a client needs rather than what they want (and having the confidence to tell them). The past decade has seen a seismic shift in marketing approach, with agencies forced to adapt and thrive against a backdrop of rapid and unpredictable change. An outstanding piece of press coverage or a knockout advert no longer cuts the mustard for brands who now require the constant broadcast of messaging to encourage engagement and influence people. As a result, client services directors must now act as the trusted partner who will guide clients through this new world and find increasingly innovative ways to connect with customers. Going far beyond building relationships, client services directors must now understand how consumers act, how they buy and become even more familiar with the inner workings of a client’s business. Only then will they be able to provide the right creative solutions that will change consumer behaviour and enhance business performance for their clients. In short, a client services director in 2018 must be more of a navigator than a practitioner. The question is, have you got what it takes to guide clients through today’s marketing landscape and deliver real business results?

PM Orbán: Hungary getting the most important portfolio in the European Commission is the greatest diplomatic success in a decade Regarding Olivér Várhelyi’s new position as European Commissioner, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán emphasized the importance of the Neighborhood and Enlargement portfolio. The prime minister also talked about next year’s agenda and maintaining the country’s economic success. Olivér Várhelyi European Commission In his regular interview on Kossuth Radio, the prime minister said that the confirmation of Olivér Várhelyi is the greatest diplomatic success in ten years, noting that his confirmation “is the success of many of us, since most of the country wants Hungarians to increase their influence in European politics.” Orbán also added that “many, however, wanted to prevent this from happening, both inside and outside the country; George Soros personally tried to reach the highest levels in order to achieve this.” PM Orbán emphasized that the neighborhood policy is key to security, noting that the Neighborhood and Enlargement portfolio not only involves energy security issues on the side of the Caucasus and Azerbaijan but is “also affected by migration, as there are many migrants on the Western Balkans route.” “Migration will remain a key issue for the next five years, and Hungary wants to protect its borders,” the prime minister said. On the protection of the country’s economic success, PM Orbán said that “the most important issue for the country in 2020 will be to protect the performance of the Hungarian economy, as Germany will slow down significantly.” According to the PM, by 2020 there will be economic turmoil in the euro zone countries. “Hungary must be protected from this,” the prime minister emphasized, adding that “a new economic protection action plan will be needed in 2020, which will be presented in the first quarter and an important part of which will be tax reduction.” Touching upon the question of Hungarians living outside the borders of Hungary, the prime minister drew attention to the fact that “Hungary is a world nation. We have to forge an advantage for the millions of Hungarians living beyond our borders. We need to combine our strength and our relationships,” adding that “the biggest result of the Hungarian economy is coming from trade with neighboring countries, which is a great benefit.” Responding to the question about the new EU budget, the prime minister said that in his opinion the payment of EU funds will not be linked to the rule of law. Regarding Fidesz’s EPP membership, the PM said that “it has not yet been decided whether the Hungarian government will continue its relationship with the European People's Party.” The main question is when the EPP will finally speak clearly, Viktor Orbán said, adding, “however, we cannot belong to a community that does not acknowledge border protection and take action against migration.” Speeches and Remarks Prime Minister PM Orbán: Hungary Will Challenge the European Commission's Migrant Resettlement Quota in the European Court Addressing the 14th plenary session of the Hungarian Standing Conference, December 3, 2015, in Budapest, the prime minister announced plans to petition the European Court on the migrant quotas. The EU Has Been Attacked The Erection of Statues in Honor of Politicians Who Cooperated with Oppressors of Hungary Cannot Be Supported In the question-and-answer round of Parliament’s plenary session on Tuesday, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said that the Constitution does not support the erection of statues in honour of political leaders in government during the time when Hungary had lost its sovereignty. How many EU countries have laws on the books that empower the government to mobilise the military in the event of a terror attack?

Our one-stop commerce platform manages the complex aspects of checkout, billing, payments, taxes, currencies, support and customer management from end to end. Paddle – Why Work For Us?

This allows us to foster trust, work better together and empower everyone to succeed. We are creating a whole new way for software companies to run and grow, something we can look back and be proud of having built. Building something that hasn’t been done before is hard, and we're not the only ones trying to solve this problem. Doing work that makes an impact is how we'll achieve our ambitious goals. I applied online. I interviewed at Paddle (London, England) in April 2018. I was contacted by a Paddle recruiter and invited to have a phone call. After that, I was given clear instructions to schedule a face to face interview at Paddle offices. I met with the head of marketing and I was given a case study to prepare and present on that day. I can't recall how many days I was given, but it was a fair amount of time. A few days after that I had the final round, in which I talked to people from product and marketing (3 interviews at Paddle the same morning). The 1st call was with the head of product, then I had a skills round -face to face- with a team member from marketing and product, the last face to face round was with the head of marketing and someone else from product. After that (just a few days later) I got an email with the final decision and I had the chance to have a phone call with the recruiter to debrief the process, he was very generous, giving me valuable feedback and explaining why I did not get the job. I have been part of job processes all over the world (literally) and this is the first time someone takes 30 minutes to analyze all the things I could have done better and congratulate me on the things I did right. It was a pleasure being part of a process so well done and crafted, I always felt like I was a priority for Paddle and that speaks highly on the company and the people working there.

The Booth The SHAMEBOOTH podcast explores the science, psychology, and just general fucked-upness behind one of the most intense and isolating emotions a person can feel, anchoring each episode with the voices of real people who stepped into the haint blue safe space itself. From comedians to therapists, sociologists to actors, we delve into this dynamic and universal condition with the hope to inspire listeners to free themselves of the shackles of shame and be free. Episode 23: Best of 2019 This year has been an amazing one in the world of SHAMEBOOTH. We are approaching our 24th podcast episode, we produced a portable booth that Paula has been lugging around with her around the country (and soon to the border), we have presented at national events, had a two week residency in San Francisco and now we even have a shop where you can get SHAMEBOOTH merch (get your FUCK SHAME buttons before they’re all gone). Let’s just say we are kicking shame in the booty. This episode is our End of Year episode. Sounds a bit strange to call it a best of but it’s a listening experience not to be missed that brings together excerpts from the podcast, clips form the booth and other goodies. Dive in and get shame free in the new decade. http://traffic.libsyn.com/shamebooth/SHAMEBOOTH_PODCAST_EP23_BEST_OF_2019.mp3 Episode 22: That’s Mental with Amanda Rosenberg The holiday season can be a lot of things: joyful, connective, fun. It can also be downright isolating and lonely, especially for those who struggle with mental illness. Our most recent guest, British-Chinese comedy writer Amanda Rosenberg, knows this struggle all too well. In this episode, Amanda discusses her book, That’s Mental: Painfully Funny Things That Drive Me Crazy, and uses her dark humor and cutting wit to delve into her personal experience with depression, suicide attempts, Bipolar 2, and the decision to go off her medication while simultaneously pregnant with her child AND writing this very book. Throughout, Amanda shows us how to have the tough conversations about mental health that we as a society so badly need to have. Basically, she’s Wonder Woman. Can’t you tell? http://traffic.libsyn.com/shamebooth/SHAMEBOOTH_PODCAST_EP22_AMANDA_ROSENBERG.mp3 Episode 21: Surviving Domestic Violence with Leslie Morgan Steiner On average, 24 people per minute are victims of rape, physical violence or stalking by an intimate partner in the United States — that’s more than 12 million women and men over the course of a year. In this episode, we speak with Leslie Morgan Steiner, a feminist, author, TED speaker, activist, and domestic violence survivor. Her book, Crazy Love was a New York Times Bestselling Memoir, charts her marriage to her then abusive husband, Conor, in vivid detail, sharing the path from initially falling madly in love to coming close to dying at his abusive hands. Leslie did ultimately break free from him but her story is one of the millions around the world, where behind closed doors and a cloak of shame, women and men endure violence, verbal and physical, and at times have little to no resources to get their life back and survive. Leslie did and her story is illuminating, powerful and deeply inspiring. http://traffic.libsyn.com/shamebooth/SHAMEBOOTH_PODCAST_EP21_LESLIE_MORGAN_STEINER.mp3 Episode 20: Back to School with Nicole Hockley This was one of our toughest episodes we have ever done: Speaking with Nicole Hockley of Sandy Hook Promise about the tragedy that came into her life when there was a shooting at her son’s school, Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. On that fateful day, December 14th, 2012, 28 people died, 20 of them were children between the ages of 6 and 7. Nicole Hockley’s son was amongst them. Since then, Nicole co-founded Sandy Hook Promise, a foundation committed to “honor all victims of gun violence by turning our tragedy into a moment of transformation by providing programs and practices that protect children from gun violence.” In these times, where multiple shootings occur every day, Sandy Hook Promise is vital and we spoke with Nicole about her experiences that inspired it and what has happened since. http://traffic.libsyn.com/shamebooth/SHAMEBOOTH_PODCAST_EP20_NICOLE_HOCKLEY_SANDY_HOOK_PROMISE.mp3 Episode 19: Scratching The Surface of Race As we know, shame finds itself everywhere, as does its sister, Pride. In this episode, we are touching on two key places where shame & pride seems to rear its head: Education and race. Our guest on the show is a graduate of Harvard University, a black woman, Ghanaian parents. When she went back for her 10-year reunion, she explored what success means for a graduate of such a prestigious school. We also wanted to know what it means to be a Black woman in a school like Harvard and whether our guest should be responsible for schooling others on Black culture (spoiler alert: No). http://traffic.libsyn.com/shamebooth/SHAMEBOOTH_PODCAST_EP19_SCRATCHING_THE_SURFACE_OF_RACE.mp3 Episode 18: Get Proud with Matthew Clark Davison It’s PRIDE. Millions of people, literally, are descending on to New York for the 50th Anniversary of Pride, and people around the world are taking to the streets to shed their shame and get proud about who they are and who they desire. It’s powerful. It was powerful 50 years ago and, to be honest, it’s just as potent today, if not more so! We are all about pride, here at SHAMEBOOTH, and in celebration, we brought on our dear friend, author and advocate Matthew Clark Davison to share his story of coming out to his family, moving to California as a teen looking for a refuge and creating a safe space for others to be themselves and take a load of shame off. Get proud, people, not just this month but for a lifetime. http://traffic.libsyn.com/shamebooth/SHAMEBOOTH_PODCAST_EP18_MATHEW_DAVISON_.mp3 Episode 17: Near Death with BJ Miller Death. It’s the one thing that is absolutely inevitable in our lives. And yet, it’s the thing we try and escape the most. Until we get ill, or tragedy strikes, and it becomes all too real. That’s what happened with BJ Miller. A stunning, athletic young man at Princeton, he was climbing the top of a train and 11,000 volts of electricity pulsated through his body. He lost both legs and half of his arm. Rather than be shrouded in shame, he turned this tragedy into a strength. Now he is a palliative-care doctor working to help patients ease into one of the most powerful moments of their lives: their death. We spoke about his accident, death, and the way to prepare for it with love. http://traffic.libsyn.com/shamebooth/SHAMEBOOTH_PODCAST_EP17_BJ_MILLER.mp3 Episode 16: How To Be Loved with Eva Hagberg Eva Hagberg is a journalist, professor, and author. She has a Ph.D. in Visual and Narrative Culture from UC Berkeley and has written for the leading publications: NY Times, Tin House and countless others. So yeah, she’s a badass. And for a long time, she carried a lot of shame, buried it in alcohol and drugs, and it wasn’t until she got sober and, later, became sick that she found a path to loving others and, in so doing, loving herself. She wrote a memoir about it, How To Be Loved: A Memoir of Lifesaving Friendship and the book is getting rave reviews. She came to SHAMEBOOTH during her national book tour. http://traffic.libsyn.com/shamebooth/SHAMEBOOTH_PODCAST_EP16_EVA_HAGBERG.mp3 Episode 15: Shame ain’t all bad with Joseph Burgo When we see the word shame, it pricks up our ears. We want to know more and we want to understand what people are saying, and doing, about it. Because guess what? We want to eradicate shame. Let’s do it! Wait, wait, what’s that you say? There are some good things about shame too? We never thought of it that way, not until we had author and psychotherapist Joseph Burgo on the show. He had some exceptional insights about shame, a topic he has been exploring for over a decade now, culminating in his book, Shame: Free Yourself, Find Joy and Build True Self-Esteem. We met in Palm Springs and spoke about shame, Trump, Louis CK, and how shame can be a path to pride. We had fun, enjoy. http://traffic.libsyn.com/shamebooth/SHAMEBOOTH_PODCAST_EP15_JOSEPH_BURGO.mp3 Episode 14: Nipping Shame In The Bud with Jennifer Berger Do you remember the first time you thought there was something different about your body? Maybe it happened before you were even verbal. You noticed you were taller, or your fingers were longer, your hair was curlier. And, as a toddler, you were fascinated by this difference, certainly not having any judgement about it. And then, as a youth, even before you turned 10 years old, someone made a comment—a classmate, a parent, a friend— about your body, something that didn’t feel so great, and a pang of discomfort came, that soon to be familiar sense of shame about who you are and how you look. It was EARLY in life and it would set the foundation for many of those feelings to continue. But what if you were given the tools to nip that in the bud, to question, to understand, to feel proud. That’s what About-Face, a San Francisco based organization is doing and we spoke with the Executive Director, Jen Berger, about empowering kids to feel proud about themselves and their bodies, for the rest of their lives. https://traffic.libsyn.com/shamebooth/SHAMEBOOTH_PODCAST_EP14_JEN_BERGER.mp3 Episode 13: Sizing up Shame with Kiese Laymon Kiese Laymon’s Heavy: An American Memoir has been hailed as “a tapestry of heart and heartache” (Boston Globe), “raw, cathartic” (O Magazine), “staggering” (Elle.com), “stunningly honest” (The Atlantic) and “a refined, warm, generously poetic library work.” (Entertainment Weekly). Written as an elegy to his mother, with whom Kiese had a complicated and deep relationship, Kiese speaks about body shame, gambling, violence, blackness and so much more. It’s honest and real and deeply powerful. In this episode, we speak with author and professor Kiese Laymon when he was in San Francisco on his whirlwind book tour. When reading Heavy, you discover not only the power of words, memories and love, but also the consequences of generational trauma, leading to addiction and needing to hide-to disappear. Through this book and the exceptional work Kiese has done unpacking his trauma, he finds freedom, and, as readers, so do we. We love you, Kiese. Thank you. https://traffic.libsyn.com/shamebooth/SHAMEBOOTH_PODCAST_EP13_KIESE_LAYMON.mp3 Episode 12: Finn Deerhart – Ain’t no shame in gay You are born in the south, raised moving from small town to small town because your father is a minister in the church, you’re gay and you know it but you can’t come out, and all you hear from your family is how homosexuality is a sin, an abomination. You’re stuck, at least it feels that way. So you get married, your wife knows that you have sexual inclinations towards the same sex and she loves you so she’s open to it. But ultimately that’s not enough, love can’t overcome your intrinsic character. So you escape your life in the south, your family, your upbringing and you come to California, adopt a new name, create your true identity and help others do the same. That’s the story, in a nutshell, of Finn Deerhart who moved out to California to find out who he is. Today, Finn helps men face the shame they carry inside around their sexuality and dispel it so that they can accept themselves and have healthy, sexy, long-lasting relationships. He’s in this to get people to feel proud of who they are and what they want. Guess what, so are we. https://traffic.libsyn.com/shamebooth/SHAMEBOOTH_PODCAST_EP13__FINN_DEERHEART.mp3 Episode 11: Seeing Trauma with Katie Albright We all know that child abuse is shitty, and we all know that it exists. If awareness is part of the answer, then why does it continue to be a local and national epidemic? How do we care for the abused, and YES, the ABUSER so that the cycle can be broken? As one interviewee observes, it must be spoken about. In this episode of SHAMEBOOTH Podcast, Founder Paula Williams speaks with Katie Albright, JD and CEO of Safe and Sound, formerly known as San Francisco Child Abuse Prevention Center, and gets real about her personal experiences with childhood abuse, how slippery the slope can be, and how bringing the shame around it into the light can affect change. https://traffic.libsyn.com/shamebooth/SHAMEBOOTH_PODCAST_EP12_KATIE_ALBRIGHT.mp3 Episode 10: Dawn Nickel and She Recovers Let’s face it- we’re all recovering from something. Do you hide away in the kitchen feeding that chocolate addiction, do you need to get high to make love, is there something that you are compelled to do that keeps you away from being free? There are all sorts of addictions and every day we are recovering from one kind or another. In this episode of SHAMEBOOTH, we speak with kindred spirit Dawn Nickel, co-founder of She Recovers exploring addiction, recovery and the power of sharing and healing because when we heal, our families and communities heal as well.

Her generational anthem “Quiet” went viral at the Women’s March January 27, 2017 receiving 14 million views in 48 hours. A survivor of abuse, anorexia, and depression, Quiet is her thesis on her journey as a woman, an Asian American, a Feminist and as a Human Being. Quiet is about helping people who have been silenced reclaim their power. #icantkeepquiet and neither will we. https://traffic.libsyn.com/shamebooth/SHAMEBOOTH_PODCAST_EP09_MILCK.mp3 Episode 8: Homelessness with Doniece Sandoval If there is one place where we see a whole lot of shame, it’s in the condition of not having a home, of being homeless, houseless, unhoused. Those that are without a home feel ashamed, we as bystanders feel ashamed for not doing anything about it and cities that have homeless populations feel shame too! So we brought Doniece Sandoval, founder of Lava Mae, on the show. Her organization instills a deep sense of pride in a population that struggles with shame. Lava Mae has turned busses into showers for the homeless. Just as people walk into the SHAMEBOOTH to shed their shame and feel proud, people flock to Lava Mae to wash themselves and come out clean, and proud. https://traffic.libsyn.com/shamebooth/SHAMEBOOTH_PODCAST_EP08_HOMELESSNESS_WITH_DONIECE_SANDOVAL.mp3 Episode 7: What Is Shame with Eve Ekman – Part 2 Okay, so, our conversation with Dr. Eve Ekman was so good we had to make it a two-parter. We also have some amazing stories from the booth and also from the street by our intrepid producer Regina Bediako – listen closely to the section that starts around the 4-minute mark, thanks Regina. http://traffic.libsyn.com/shamebooth/SHAMEBOOTH_PODCAST_EP07_WHAT_IS_SHAME_WITH_EVE_EKMAN_PART_2.mp3 For our 6th episode of SHAMEBOOTH, we are getting back to the basics, so to speak, and asking the deceptively simple question, what the heck is shame. Our guest is Dr. Eve Ekman who has been working in the field of emotions for over a decade and her most recent project has been a collaboration with His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Together they created the Atlas of Emotions which identifies certain universal emotions, like sadness, anger and enjoyment, and explores what they are, how they feel in the body, what they lead to and how to work effectively with them when they arise. Eve is a bad ass: Artist, surfer, doctor, writer, meditator, teacher and knows a thing or two about shame.

View source for Mufti Mohammad Sayeed ← Mufti Mohammad Sayeed {| Class="wikitable" |- |colspan="0"|<div style="font-size:100%"> This is a collection of articles archived for the excellence of their content.<br/> </div> |} [[Category:India |S ]] [[Category:Politics |S ]] =A biographical sketch= [http://epaperbeta.timesofindia.com/Article.aspx?eid=31808&articlexml=A-Bridge-Falls-In-The-Valley-08012016015020 ''The Times of India''] Jan 08 2016 Sagarika Ghose & Sameer Arshad TNN ''' Mufti Stood His Ground As Reconciler For 5 Decades ''' Dara Shikhoh was Mufti Mohammad Sayeed's in spiration. In Mufti's home town of Bijbehara, Dara Shikoh the 17th century Mughal prince who translated the Upanishads, had created a Mughal garden. Mufti Sayeed wanted to make this garden a tourist spot to showcase his own belief in coexistence. That dream lies unfulfilled, as Jammu and Kashmir's lion in winter has passed away before the snows have melted in Gulmarg. He passed away five days before his 80th birthday , ending a long career as the consistent unionist in Jammu & Kashmir's politics. In a political career that stretched back to the early 1960s, Mufti Sayeed would often say “main toh Nehru ke zamaane ka neta hoon“. In many ways he was a Nehruvian politician, more statesman than mass leader, someone who believed in the politics of consensus rather than confrontation, to bridge the gap between Srinagar and Delhi. Sayeed first became a legislator a year after Jayaprakash Narayan wrote to PM Indira Gandhi protesting the `rule by force in Kashmir' while denouncing the 1957 and 1962 elections as `anything but free and fair'. Sayeed kept on the right side of Delhi even as men of his age began dabbling in separatism. His career nearly peaked in the 1970s when he came a hair's breadth from becoming J&K's youngest chief minister when the Congress pulled the plug on Abdullah's government in 1977. Indira had handed over power to Abdullah two years earlier despite enjoying majority in the assembly . Abdullah was rewarded for endorsing the erosion of J&K's special status and abandoning the plebiscite demand. But things soon came to a head, forcing Congress to withdraw support. Sayeed was Abdullah's natural successor as the head of state Congress. But Abdullah nixed then 41-year-old Sayeed's chances by recommending assembly dissolution that marked the beginning of the Mufti-Abdullah rivalry. Sayeed got back at the Abdullahs when he split their party NC to topple Farooq Abdullah's government in 1984. But the state's top post continued to elude him as Farooq buried the hatchet with the Congress and aligned with it ahead of the 1987 elections that sparked the insurgency . Although a Congressman at heart, Sayeed broke away from the Rajiv Gandhi government to join hands with VP Singh's Jan Morcha, even becoming home minister in the VP regime. His tenure coincided with Delhi's brutal response to the Kashmiri insurgency . Mufti stayed the course while many of his former assembly colleagues opted for separatism. In 1989 he negotiated the release of his daughter Rubaiyah Sayeed with the JKLF militants -a move that many believe gave a fillip to militancy . Thirteen years later in 2002, Mufti was at the helm in Kashmir after a spectacular electoral debut as head of People's Democratic Party with Congress support. At this time he initiated a healing touch policy designed to reach out to those who he described as `misguided youth'. Always a firm believer in dialogue with Pakistan it was on his initiative that a Srinagar-Muzaffarabad bus service was started and that `insaaniyat' became the new buzzword in dealing with militancy . Whether it was sharing a stage with A B Vajpayee, embracing Sonia Gandhi or taking the ultimate step of allying with Narendra Modi in a PDP-BJP government, no one was an untouchable for Mufti. “A PDP-BJP government is a historic opportunity for J&K and for India,“ he had told TOI in an interview, defying sceptics who questioned the Valley's equation with a Modi-led BJP . It is that delicate equation which Mufti was able to hold together, which is now a challenge for daughter Mehbooba Mufti. The encouraging paterfamilias to his daughters and his party , Mufti would often say , “I am a politician who sits in the drawing room, it's my daughter who is the mass leader“. The fiery Mehbooba is prone to confront where Mufti pragmatically reconciled, and while she built the PDP , on the ground it was her father's experience that enabled him to build bridges with political rivals. Mufti stood in firm repudiation of Jinnah's two-nation theory , Hindus and Muslims are one nation in India he would say , even though the special conditions under which J&K acceded to India must be accepted. He counted many Kashmiri Pandits as friends. Educated at a madrassa, then going on to study law at the AMU, Ganga-Jamuni tehzeeb was his worldview. In today's bitter, oftenabusive politics, the always immaculately dressed gentlemanly Mufti Sayeed was a reminder of a more genteel era of politics, when even bitter rivals sat across a table and worked towards consensus. It is in the spirit of Mufti Sayeed that he will be buried in Dara Shikoh's garden in Bijbehara. =Profile= [http://epaperbeta.timesofindia.com//Article.aspx?eid=31808&articlexml=He-couldnt-be-youngest-JK-CM-but-may-24122014014060 ''The Times of India''] Dec 24 2014 ''' He couldn't be youngest J&K CM, but may be the oldest ''' Sameer Arshad Mufti Mohammad Sayeed was state Congress chief came within a whisker of becoming J&K's youngest CM in March 1977 when Congress pulled the plug on Sheikh Abdullah's government. Two years earlier, despite her party's majority in the house, PM Indira Gandhi had allowed Abdullah to take office, a reward for endorsing the erosion of J&K's special status and abandoning his plebiscite plank. Soon things came to a head. Congress withdrew support. As PCC chief, Sayeed was Abdullah's natural successor. But Abdullah nixed that, recommending the assembly's dissolution, upheld by then governor L K Jha. That put paid to 41-year-old Sayeed's ambition of making history and marked the beginning of a classic political rivalry.Sayeed, who turns 78 in January , had helped engineer the toppling of Farooq Abdullah's government in 1984 -working closely with then governor Jagmohan. But the state's top post still eluded him as Farooq made up with Congress, aligning with it ahead of the 1987 elections. Sayeed quit Congress to be made Union home minister in V P Singh's Jan Morcha government in 1989, the first Muslim to hold the post. His elevation came as a quid pro quo deal where hardliner Jagmohan -whose counter-insurgency policies are blamed for worsening the situation -was made gover nor. The deal was struck as BJP -whipping anti-Muslim frenzy and supporting Singh's government -was unhappy with Sayeed's appointment. Sayeed's failed to shrug off the taint of his 1984 association with Jagmohan. His opponents rake this up, while NC highlights how Farooq resigned in 1990 against Jagmohan's appointment as governor. He had a tumultuous tenure as Union home minister during which his daughter Rubaiya was kidnapped and released in exchange of five jailed militants. Sayeed's sup porters cite the kidnapping to swear by his incorruptible lifestyle, saying Rubaiya was abducted while travel ling on a public bus despite being the second-most powerful Indi an's daughter. Sayeed's aides say he's self-made, having built his career through hard work. Sayeed left Congress in 1999 to form People's Democratic Party , whose win in its electoral debut in the 2002 polls propelled him to the state's top post. As CM, he made his `healing touch' cornerstone of his policies, ushering in a decline in militant violence. He expected Congress to al low him to continue after three years in office but had to hand over the baton to Ghulam Nabi Azad as part of the power sharing deal in 2005. NC formed government in 2008 even as PDP increased both seats and vote share. Its mismanagement after the recent floods gave Sayeed an edge.

There is no exception to this phenomenon. Irrespective of the degree of the success in world affairs, one has to die someday. It is also a fact that people who think ahead of their times are mostly missed and properly interpretated after their death. The recent example of this fact is the death of our Quaid Jinab Mufti Mohammad Sayeed. It is only after his death that one realises how much political space he had occupied and more importantly what he stood for. I consider myself privileged to have known Mufti Sahab since long and more intimately from the day PDP was formed which dates back to 1999. His was a personality who would impress you constantly be it the way he talked- the way he conducted himself, the way he gave space to others, the way he strategized, the way he executed his plans…. In short, he was having all these qualities in superlative degree. But to my mind, certain qualities made him stand tall among his contemporaries. Such qualities are rarely possessed and can be categorised as; 1. Being affectionate, 2. Being magnanimous 3. Having an extra ordinary acumen of state craft and 4. His Political Vision. I have been fortunate to have remained closely associated with Mufti Sahab as his PRO from 2002-2005, as MLA from 2008-2014 and someone who had access to him at any point of time. In this process, I have closely observed, how the Master was at work. And I am witness to many incidents which showed his affection, magnanimity and style of his working and manifestation of his political ideology. All along I have found Mufti Sahab very affectionate to all, irrespective of their standing. He was extremely affectionate to his grass root workers and remembered their problems and ensured mitigation. An instance comes to my mind. One Ghulam Rasool Mantoo of Chittergul Shangus had remained associated with Mufti Sahab during his congress days. In 2003, GR Mantoo came to saw Mufti Sahab in Jammu. Being his PRO Mufti Sahab directed me to ensure his accommodation in Jammu and told me that the rent and other expenses will be from Mufti Sahab’s pocket and he ensured that this arrangement worked till Mantoo died in 2005. Moreover, his affection was above political considerations, which I realised in 2009, when Mantoo’s son came to him and after listening to him, Mufti sahib asked me to ensure some assistance to the family, when I told Mufti sahib the family was not with PDP, I was highly impressed by his calibre when I understood that his affection was above political considerations. He would always act fatherly with all his associates. I also been privileged to have travelled a lot with Mufti Sahab within and outside India and during such times spent some moments with him, which have left lasting impression on my mind. He would actually treat me like his son. And would see, whether I am dressed properly, eaten properly, slept properly. During our Hajj pilgrimage in 2004 when he was heading the goodwill delegation from India, Mufti Sahib was accommodated in a suite in Makkah and Madinah and I had a room adjacent. But he would never allow me to use my room and asked me to remain with his suite. There are numerous instances, where I have seen that as a person, he was extremely affectionate. These small gestures made everybody around him comfortable and around being loved. Even when we used to visit his residence often, he would offer noon chai and sattu, a homemade simple lunch, just to make us feel part of family. Mufti Sahab was a real exponent of ‘high thinking and simple living’. Despite rising to high political positions, the atmosphere in his house was as that of a common Kashmiri family. That is perhaps of the reasons, which did not attract him to worldly comforts and kept him away from menace of corruption, which most of politicians are accused of in the present era. Being a politician and being magnanimous and thought to be opposite to each other, but Mufti sahib had the capacity of being both. He was magnanimous not only in worldly affairs, but in politics also. I am witness to many instances, when Mufti Sahab would reprimand us whenever we spoke against our political opponents. This was not a political expediency, but his belief in the role and position of his political opponents. He would always tell us to speak what you have to say about your own policies without criticising your opponents. My colleagues in the assembly will also bear testimony to this. Even in the heat of elections would not deviate him from this mantra as during the public rallies, he would also stick to his ideal. This magnanimity which I now understand was practised by Mufti Sahab to purify the political milieu and not to pollute it… that way contributing to overall political process. He was a person with a big heart and chosen to do bigger things. He would repeatedly advice us not to fall in pity issues, but pursue bigger goals. Sometimes, I have felt that as CM, he was not enjoying while deciding small issues like allotment of accommodation and would react by saying to me as his PRO, do it at your level as I have to do bigger things. On the contrary, I have found many CM’s more worried about allotment of quarters and vehicles; this is magnanimity at political level. Mufti Sahab had a wonderful and a long memory, he would hardly forget anything particularly the welfare of the people, whether he knew them or not. Some of his decisions would get affected by the concern he had. Mufti Sahab as I understood now has been a very hard working student of political field and through his sheer hard work and understanding, the nuance of politics he raised to become one of its best acclaimed masters. He knew state craft as the back of his hand which by experience came to him naturally. He had a firm belief that this is the tool through which political ideology can be put to practice and utilise for welfare of the public. He respected his commitments from the core of his heart. And also knew how to stand by his commitments. This in other words meant, “Actions speak louder than words”. He would digress the protocol procedure and as CM would even talk to a low rung official to ensure that the commitment made by him is being followed on the ground. He would always advice us, whenever you make commitment, ensure its implementation. Coming back to knowledge of Mufti Sahab regarding the state craft, I remember on 13 July 2004, he laid foundation stone of flyover and Kashmir Haat with the direction that he will inaugurate the two projects on the next year on the same date. After about two months, we were leaving secretariat late in the evening, I was sitting on the right side of the vehicle. On reaching near flyover site, he noticed some tin sheets erected on site. He enquired from me about the status and pace of the work going on. I honestly told him, sir, I don’t know. He for a while got irritated, but next moment told me that your job is not to sit with me in the vehicle, but instead it will be better if you could pursue my commitments and bring to my notice, any difficulties being faced by the construction agencies. He advised me to take Naeem Sahab along (who by then was special secretary to CM) and monitor the progress. Thereafter, I and Naeem Sahab would often visit the site and apprise the boss accordingly. That was perhaps the beginning of time bound completion of works in J&K and it was because of Mufti Sahab knowing how to get things done on ground. Doing justice to the political vision of a man, whose struggle span over more than five decades in a column/article, is almost impossible. It would require a full book to explain the political vision of Mufti Sahab. However, he was so subtle and clear that he communicated his message just in one Kashmiri adage which says, “Baaye myaane Kalandara, ye nere te nere Khalandara”. If we apply our mind critically and objectively to this adage which he often repeated, we can possibly read his mind. What he meant, politically, it conveyed a big message and perhaps a way forward against a popular tide particularly after late 80’s. But such was his understanding and reading of situation that what he said in 1998 in a public meeting at Anantnag as congress MP candidate is now appearing to be more relevant and achievable. Given the overall world view of politics, this ideology which he practiced throughout in politics meant that there is no limit to our fight, if we restrict it within this system. Whatever, grievances we may have, can be salvaged within the system. He would extremely get grieved by the destruction of human life and property in Jammu and Kashmir and would make us to believe that if we have a political will and conviction to convince the people, such bloodshed can be stopped and the goal achieved which meant to have self rule, where you are masters of your political destiny, make the borders irrelevant, increase people to people contact, have robust trade activities across the divide and have frequent social exchange which may extend to marriages also. This he envisaged without creating huge graveyards. Recent developments of engagement of India and Pakistan, perhaps is an indication that the leadership of two countries has understood what the great man stood for. But alas! after his death. I am fortunate to have associated with Mufti Sahab closely and can vouch for the pain he felt, whenever he heard about the death of any youth. He always endeavoured to reach out to youth and channelize their energy without compromising their aspirations. Whenever he referred to disgruntled youth, there was an element of affection and respect. He would refer to them as “Hamare Bachche” without using other words, mostly used by mainstream politicians. It is perhaps in this direction, he tried to reach out to such youth by saying, “granades say na goli say, baat bane gi boli say” without making them to compromise. It was perhaps an invitation to them, come and fight whatever you stand for, but within the system. Seeing him operate, I have found him to be the best political school to learn from and I am sure Mehbooba Ji will step into his shoes comfortably as she has remained admitted in the school for two and a half decades. Without fearing criticism, I would say this with a lot of conviction that Mufti Sahab was not only her father, but a friend, a companion, a guide and a mentor and above all a teacher. Knowing Mehbooba Ji, I am sure that she has learnt her lessons well and is ready to lead.

E3 online only The iPhone 8 could have a fingerprint scanner built into its screen By Emma Boyle published 15 February 17 Who needs a home button? Apple could be preparing to phase out the iPhone’s home button if its recent patent for a fingerprint reading touchscreen is any indication of the company’s future plans. First spotted by AppleInsider, the patent describes an “interactive display panel with IR diodes” that would use a combination of infrared emitting LED and infrared sensing technology. This would allow Apple to place a fingerprint reader directly into the phone’s screen rather than the currently used home button. The patent was originally filed in 2014 by micro-LED display company LuxVue, but it was reassigned to Apple after it acquired the company. This isn’t, however, the first time we’ve seen Apple look into fingerprint reading touchscreen technology. Only last year Apple filed another patent that suggested the company was looking at moving Touch ID away from the home button and into the phone screen. This more recently revealed design is slightly different from as it doesn’t require the layering of two separate transducers, instead relying on micro-LED technology which should allow for more accurate sensing and reading of fingerprints. By integrating the home button and its fingerprint scanner into the phone’s screen, Apple would open up a good deal of extra space at the bottom of the phone, allowing for an extended edge-to-edge display and even more streamlined aesthetic. Rumors that Apple could be considering dropping the home button to move onto more advanced technology than Touch ID have been circulating for a while now and this micro-LED technology would certainly allow for that. Whether or not Apple will actually use it in its next phone, or at all, is unclear. It would, however, enable the big hardware change people are anticipating for the iPhone 8 as the company celebrates ten years since the original iPhone’s release.

Action, Anime Reviews, Horror, Science Fiction Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne – Anime Review 22 December 2016 Nefarious Reviews 3 Comments Japanese Title: Mnemosyne: Mnemosyne no Musume-tachi Similar: Darker than Black Watched in: Japanese & English Genre: Supernatural Action Horror Science Fiction Length: 6 episodes (45 min. each) Doesn’t hold back. Story spanning multiple decades. Strong world building. Not enough psychological conflict. First act of most episodes. Main villain has no presence. One of the reasons I do little research on a title before I watch it is to go in as blind as possible. Sometimes, this method delivers shocking results. I did not expect Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne to be this graphic. And I’m not referring to the amount of violence and sex, but rather the manner in which the story executes these elements. Mnemosyne does not hold back when it comes to adult content. You have been warned. Mnemosyne centres on Rin, an immortal woman fed a time fruit from the invisible tree Yggdrassil, who runs a private investigation agency alongside partner Mimi. Their job takes a turn when a search for a lost cat leads to amnesiac Koki and someone murdering these immortal women. Most interesting in Mnemosyne is the structure, in that each episode takes place in a different decade. We start in the 90s and hop through the decades, seeing how society changes each instance, with the latter episodes set beyond our time and in the genre of science fiction. As such, the world building leaps forward each era – new global events in the background, technological advancements, aging mortals, etc. I particularly like how after a devastating earthquake, Tokyo’s depressed population retreats into a virtual reality of human indulgence. The people are so taken by the virtual that the real world is designated ‘Version 1.0’ – a launch version of the program, if you will. These are good world building details. While the world evolves well across the years, I cannot say the same for the characters. Now, these characters aren’t bad, not at all. A core of the story is about how the immortal women don’t change while their mortal acquaintances die around them. Unfortunately, Rin and co. don’t react much to these changes. How much more interesting would it be to see a psychological toll for having such an existence? Or perhaps how they stay sane? Ironically, despite all the brutality, the story doesn’t push its characters far enough in the neglected psychological component. The physical themes of sex and violence – two basic human instincts – have impact, certainly. The two sometimes (often) mix into some extreme form of BDSM – torture, mutilation, eroticism, bits missing, naked bodies, the full monty. The blood angels hunting Rin lure immortal women with the human instinct of lust, granting a state of ecstasy before devouring them. Mnemosyne is bold with its sexuality and not ashamed of it. Interestingly, none of this is gratuitous. Yes, they could have cut away before the graphic material starts and dropped down to a lower age rating tier, but the violence and sex drive the plot and characters of this supernatural world. These elements and the plot type give this anime a vampire fiction-esque feel. Mnemosyne’s story problems lie in the first act of most episodes. The writing needs work in linking Rin with the key character introduced each episode. For example, in the first episode, after leaving the scene of a truck accident, she runs into Koki and helps, responds, and acts towards this stranger as though he’s a close friend. Her actions aren’t believable – nor is his response. The writers needed to get these two together and didn’t think of a proper way to do it. This happens consistently. Funny enough, each episode consistently improves in the same way after the first act as well. Flawed, but consistent. How odd. Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne is so close to being great. Its good points have strength, but the weak parts are significant enough to hold it back. The characters needed that extra emotional push, and a main villain with more presence than minor antagonists would have assuredly helped. Even so, this anime engaged me to the end. The art is good – strong imagery – but could do with more animation and a touch more gothic. And get rid of the Photoshop filter used in flashbacks – looks cheap. Sound – High Mnemosyne has great acting in both versions and music that evolves with the times. Story – Medium In a world of sex and violence, the immortal Rin investigates attacks against her fellow immortal women through the ages. While engaging (and brutal), Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne doesn’t give the emotional side enough focus to match the physical. Recommendation: Try it. Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne is hard to find an audience for with the extreme sadism, but if you don’t mind that, it’s worth a try. Give it two episodes at least. Negative: None ActionAnimeDetectiveGunsHorrorMatureMnemosyne: Mnemosyne no Musume-tachiNudityRin: Daughters of MnemosyneScience FictionSupernaturalYuri Previous PostDiamond Daydreams – Anime ReviewNext PostKiki’s Delivery Service – Anime Review 3 thoughts on “Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne – Anime Review” I was pretty caught off guard by the content as well but I liked how they used it to propel the story forward rather than insert random sex scenes for the hell of it. I agree than they could have worked better to invoke a more emotional connection to the characters.

Valero selected PolicyTech to keep its policies and procedures accessible, orderly, and accurate. Learn which processes worked for them. Valero Energy Corporation operates 16 refineries and more than 5,000 retail venues, making it North America’s largest independent refiner and marketer. Located in southeastern Texas, the Port Arthur refinery employs over 800 employees and achieves a total production of 95,000 barrels per day. The refinery is strategically located on the Texas Gulf Coast, approximately 90 miles east of Houston. To create a safe workplace that meets OSHA’s Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) standards, as well as positively execute Valero’s best practice standards, Port Arthur needed a way to keep their policies and procedures accessible, orderly and accurate. Given the tough economic times, the refinery was also looking to implement a solution in the most cost-effective way possible. Using NAVEX Global’s PolicyTech policy management software, Port Arthur met these goals in an affordable yet high-tech manner. Ramirez, Port Arthur’s Process Safety Management Coordinator, wanted to see that the procedure documents never again fell into disarray. Unfortunately, Port Arthur had no system to consistently manage the newest manuals. To remedy the problem Port Arthur chose NAVEX Global’s PolicyTech —a web-based policy management system to track, store and distribute their policies. The software created a system for organizing procedures with automated review and approval processes, a unique network Id for each employee to record when a document is read and quick reports to demonstrate that employees have read the documents. With hundreds of employees accessing policies and procedures, Valero found a variety of features in PolicyTech that benefit the company in efficiency and cost-savings. The system enables access based upon an employee’s unique network Id. This allows the system to dynamically filter out thousands of documents based upon the user’s role, team, department, supervisor, etc. When the user searches by keyword, regulation, date, author, etc., they search only the documents appropriate to them rather than the entire database. “The operators say ‘Wow! How come we couldn’t have this 20 years ago?’” Ramirez said. In a highly-regulated industry, reporting is another huge consideration. With specific user Ids associated with every document viewing, employees simply click a ‘mark as read’ dialog box to certify that they’ve read and understand the document. When it comes time to check compliance, Ramirez knows exactly who has read which policies by running a report on that document. Valero opted to purchase PolicyTech on NAVEX Global’s concurrent licensing system. Rather than having specific ‘seats’ based upon the total number of employees, it’s based upon the number of people who can be simultaneously accessing the system. This method is particularly economical for employers such as Valero that use shift-work as a major portion of the organization’s employment practice. Another particularly helpful feature is the quiz that can be associated with any document. Complacency is common; employees may simply be checking the box indicating they’ve read this new policy or important change in procedure. With PolicyTech, Ramirez can easily create a quiz reinforcing some key points that need to be conveyed. Quizzes and surveys aren’t an entirely unique technology, but “NAVEX Global does it a lot easier and a lot quicker than the other methods we tried,” said Ramirez. Since 2007, eight of Valero’s refineries have purchased PolicyTech. In addition to Port Arthur, refineries in benicia, California; Houston, Texas; McKee, Texas; Memphis, Tennessee.; Paulsboro, New Jersey; San Nicolas, Aruba and Texas City, Texas have implemented the solution. Compare your policy and procedure management programme to peers and identify where it needs improvement. Our 2017 report presents the findings of 1,100+ global respondents and showcases the top challenges policy and procedure management programmes face today and how to meet those challenges.

COMMONWEALTH vs. KENNETH E. HYATT. Present: KASS, GILLERMAN, & LAURENCE, JJ. At the trial of an indictment for rape of a child under the age of sixteen, the judge did not abuse his discretion in admitting, for corroborative purposes under the fresh complaint doctrine, evidence of the victim's complaints made two years after the event, where the complaints could properly be considered reasonably prompt in the circumstances. [490-492] The record of the trial of an indictment for rape of a child under the age of sixteen did not support the defendant's claims that he was denied access to a report and investigation of the incident prepared by a social worker under G. L. c. 119, Section 51B, or that the defendant was entitled to further materials beyond that report. [492-493] At a rape trial, the judge incorrectly instructed the jury on the issue of intoxication, which the defendant had not raised; however, the error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt where there was no suggestion in the record that the defendant was severly intoxicated at the time of the incident. [493] The judge at a rape trial properly allowed the prosecutor to ask the victim to describe the defendant's appearance at the time of the crime. [493-494] INDICTMENT found and returned in the Superior Court Department on July 30, 1987. The case was tried before James D. McDaniel, Jr., J. Charles K. Stephenson for the defendant. Catherine E. Sullivan, Assistant District Attorney, for the Commonwealth. KASS, J. Once again we appraise the shelf life of "fresh" complaint in a sexual assault case. See Commonwealth v. Montanino, 409 Mass. 500, 507-511 (1991); Commonwealth v. Dion, 30 Mass. App. Ct. 406 (1991); Commonwealth v. Gardner, 30 Mass. App. Ct. 515 (1991). There are also issues of access by the defense to records of the Department of Social Services (DSS). Kenneth E. Hyatt, the defendant, was convicted by a jury of rape of a child under the age of sixteen. Facts. We summarize facts which the jury might have found on the basis of the evidence taken in a light most favorable to the Commonwealth. See Commonwealth v. Latimore, 378 Mass. 671, 676-677 (1979). On October 13, 1984, when she was thirteen, the victim, whom we shall call Hilary, came to baby-sit for her sister Deborah, who had two small sons. Deborah lived with Hyatt, whom she later married. Deborah and Hyatt came home in the early evening from a shopping trip and Hilary, although her sitting chore had been discharged, was to stay overnight. Shortly after dinner, which Hilary helped Hyatt prepare, the children were put to bed and Deborah, tired and headachy, retired. Hilary changed into a long T-shirt and sweatpants and settled onto a couch in the living room to watch television. Hyatt, who had ingested three mixed drinks, sat down next to Hilary. He proceeded to kiss her. She pushed him away and told him to stop in a voice she described as "not excessively loud, but nasty." Hyatt then put his hand under Hilary's shirt. She tried to push him away, but Hilary, who at the time was 5'1" and weighed 110 pounds, was unable to fend Hyatt off. There seems to have been a total absence of conversation as this grappling proceeded to vaginal penetration. After the sexual intercourse, Hyatt went to the bedroom where Deborah was sleeping. His parting shot to Hilary was that she need not bother telling anyone. "No one will believe you," he said, "because you're a little slut." Hilary discovered blood on her underwear, changed clothes, and called a friend, with whom she did not discuss the incident. Asked why she raised no alarm with her sister, Hilary explained that she did not want to spoil things for Deborah, who was happy with Hyatt. He was good to her and her children. Deborah was in the process of trying to recover from a bad marriage. What had happened with Hyatt also made Hilary afraid of him. She did not tell her parents because they were happy about her sister Deborah's relationship to Hyatt. About a month later, Deborah and Hyatt married and moved to New Hampshire. The first occasion on which Hilary spoke of the assault by Hyatt was in September, 1986, i.e., two years later, when she told a boy friend, Michael, about it. She had drawn back when he tried to kiss and touch her, and he asked why she was like that. Hilary spoke of the incident with Hyatt in explanation. Shortly thereafter, as she talked with her best friend, Danielle, about her relationship with Michael, she told Danielle about the incident with Hyatt. Hilary kept silent for two years, having bottled up the incident because she was concerned about not ruining her sister's life and because of her own sense of shame; i.e., she was afraid of "what people would say." Danielle and Michael appeared as witnesses to corroborate that Hilary had told them she had been raped by her brother-in-law. The account of Michael varied from that of Hilary in that he set her age at the time of the rape, as he understood it from her, at eleven and that a second incident had occurred in a van. Recalled to the witness stand, Hilary said there had been but one rape incident, and that it had occurred when she was thirteen. Hyatt testified in his own behalf and denied that he had ever committed a sexual assault of any kind upon Hilary. 1. Admissibility of the "fresh" complaints. Even though the freshness of a complaint of rape is not measured solely by the clock or calendar, Commonwealth v. Dion, 30 Mass. App. Ct. at 413, it is discordant linguistically to attach the adjective "fresh" to a complaint made two years after the event. The phrase "fresh complaint" is dated, however, having origins in a more or less discarded notion that a complaint of rape is not to be believed unless the offense is accompanied by immediate outcry. Id. at 412. Words which more accurately characterize the contemporary idea are "reasonably prompt complaint." Still useful is the notion that, because a sexual assault seldom has a percipient witness other than the victim and because a jury might conclude the assault did not occur in the absence of a complaint, an out-of-court statement by the victim to a third person that the offense had occurred does useful and reliable service to corroborate the victim's in-court testimony and ought to be admitted. See Commonwealth v. Lavalley, 410 Mass. 641, 643 (1991); Commonwealth v. Dion, 30 Mass. App. Ct. at 412; Commonwealth v. Gardner, 30 Mass. App. Ct. at 523. Whether, in the setting of a particular case, a complaint is reasonably prompt rests in the first instance in the sound discretion of the trial judge, Commonwealth v. Montanino, 409 Mass. at 508, Commonwealth v. Gardner, 30 Mass. App. Ct. at 524, although appellate courts have not hesitated to comment on the boundaries. See the opinions cited above and particularly the appendices to the Dion opinion at 30 Mass. App. Ct. at 416, which canvass the decisions. In the case of children who are sexually abused, courts have taken a flexible view of what is a reasonably prompt complaint because they recognize that shame, fear, intimidation, guilt, and simply not quite comprehending what has happened may inhibit the victim from talking about the event. See Commonwealth v. Amirault, 404 Mass. 221, 229 (1989); Commonwealth v. Gardner, 30 Mass. App. Ct. at 525. Express threats, the continued presence of the putative assailant in the building in which the victim lives, a relationship between the putative assailant and the victim (e.g., the putative assailant is the victim's stepfather or scoutmaster), and matters personal to the victim which induce embarrassment or fear are among the factors which the cases mention as appropriate for consideration. So long a period between the event and the complaint as two years provokes unease about the possibility of "twist of memory, fantasizing, contrivance," Commonwealth v. Dion, 30 Mass. App. Ct. at 413. Nonetheless, the trial judge could consider the following: Hilary, indeed young at the time of the incident complained of, was concerned about disturbing her sister's nest; she was fearful that she would not be believed and, therefore, would be humiliated. The circumstances in which she began to talk about the incident to the boy, who was making sexual advances toward her, and to her then best friend had a naturalness that were not suggestive of contrivance. We think the judge acted within his discretion in admitting the testimony of the boy friend and girl friend. The case might stand otherwise had the testimony of either gone into detail, particularly detail absent from the primary testimony of the victim. See Commonwealth v. Lavalley, 410 Mass. at 646. In each instance, however, the testimony of the corroborating witness contained no detail whatever. Both witnesses testified simply that Hilary told them she had been raped by her brother-in-law. Hilary's testimony had not been wavering, compare Commonwealth v. Dion, 30 Mass. App. Ct. at 414 & n.10, and one may doubt that the corroborating testimony contributed much heft to the government's case. [Note 1] On balance, we are of opinion that the judge did not abuse his discretion in receiving the corroborative testimony of the boy friend and the girl friend. The judge instructed the jury properly as to the limited purpose for which their testimony was received. 2. Access to underlying DSS records. The government produced for examination by the defense the child abuse evaluation and report made under G. L. c. 119, Section 51B. During cross-examination, defense counsel framed questions on the basis of the report. That report listed the names of some of the individuals from whom the social worker who wrote the report collected information. Under G. L. c. 112, Section 135A (f), as amended by St. 1989, c. 535, Section 1 [Note 2], the investigation and evaluation report prepared under Section 51B is to be made available to defense counsel if the incident which is the subject of the report is being prosecuted; the underlying raw file of DSS remains confidential. See Commonwealth v. Jones, 404 Mass. 339, 341-342 (1989), and Commonwealth v. O'Brien, 27 Mass. App. Ct. 184, 187 (1989). Moreover, as the issue developed in this case, the defendant first had only been provisionally denied access by the trial judge to the underlying records. The judge had ordered that the DSS records requested by the defendant be subpoenaed, delivered to the court, there impounded, and kept available for use in the case should the need arise. Subsequently, the Jones case was decided and, upon the defendant's motion for reconsideration, the government produced the Section 51B report. It does not appear from the record that the defendant thereafter pressed for materials beyond the Section 51B report. The opinion in Commonwealth v. Stockhammer, 409 Mass. 867, 880-885 (1991), is, therefore, not implicated, and we do not explore whether that decision expanded what was thought to be accessible under the O'Brien decision. 3. Other points. Since Hyatt's defense was that the incident complained of never happened, he did not attempt to shape a line of defense that he was too intoxicated to form a specific intent to commit the crime of rape. Cf. Commonwealth v. Blair, 21 Mass. App. Ct. 625, 630-631 (1986). It was, therefore, gratuitous and unwise of the trial judge to charge the jury that ingestion of alcohol was not a defense to the crime, the more so as he told the jury that intoxication can never be a defense to a crime, which misstates the law. See, e.g., Commonwealth v. Henson, 394 Mass. 584, 593 (1985). The error, however, was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt as it was not suggested by anyone in the case that Hyatt, at the time of the alleged assault, was severely intoxicated. In context, that portion of the instructions was surplusage. It was not improper for the prosecutor to ask Hilary to describe Hyatt's appearance at the time of the alleged assault. Those questions had some bearing on how accurately she remembered and why it was plausible that she was overpowered by him. It was not an abuse of discretion to allow those questions, even though in a retrospective examination of the entire record the material now looks highly tangential. [Note 1] Indeed, the inconsistency between what Michael testified Hilary had said to him her account of the incident was helpful to the defense. [Note 2] The 1989 amendment rewrote the provisions relating to the confidentiality of communications between a licensed social worker and a client and placed them in a different section of c. 112. For purposes of this case, however, the difference between the amended provision, which became effective after the trial of this case, and the previous provision is only a matter of numbering in the statutory scheme.

Gulf War: F-14 Tomcat in Combat By Robert F. Dorr - February 27, 2011 Three Fighter Squadron 32 (VF-32) F-14A Tomcat aircraft fly in formation over the desert during Operation Desert Storm. VF-32 was based aboard the aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy (CV 67). U.S. Department of Defense photo When Operation Desert Storm began, the F-14 Tomcat was the only fighter in the U.S. inventory to have scored an air-to-air kill in American hands. It was also a kind of superstar for its popular role in the movie Top Gun. The F-14 was expected to perform well in Desert Storm – and did. The F-14 was expected to perform well in Desert Storm – and did. Two U.S. carriers participated in the Desert Shield build-up – USS Eisenhower (CV 69) with F-14 squadrons VF-142 “Ghostriders” and VF-143 “Pukin Dogs” on board and USS Independence (CV 62), which was unique in having just a single Tomcat squadron, VF-154 “Black Knights.” U.S. Navy commanders used their sleek, swing-wing Tomcats to guard the influx of coalition forces to the Persian Gulf region and to test Saddam Hussein’s air defenses. Eisenhower and Independence finished their cruises before fighting began. A view of Fighter Squadron 74 and 103 (VF-74 and VF-103) F-14A Plus Tomcat aircraft parked on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Saratoga (CV 60) during Operation Desert Storm. U.S. Department of Defense photo By Jan. 17, 1991, the first day of Operation Desert Storm, no fewer than six U.S. carriers were on station in the war zone. One of them, USS Midway (CV 41) had accommodated Tomcats in fleet trials but was considered too small to have Tomcats operationally embarked. The five Tomcat-equipped warships were the USS John F. Kennedy (CV 67) with squadrons VF-14 F-14s were tied to defensive CAPs for the fleet and routinely ventured over enemy territory only when escorting strike missions. “Tophatters” and VF-32 “Swordsmen”; USS Saratoga (CV 60) with VF-74 “Be-Devilers” and VF-103 “Sluggers” – both carriers in the Red Sea for operations against targets in Western Iraq. USS America (CV 66) with VF-33 “Tarsiers” and VF-102 “Diamondbacks,” USS Ranger (CV 61) with VF-1 “Wolfpack” and VF-2 “Bounty Hunters” and USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) with VF-41 “Black Aces” and VF-84 “Jolly Rogers” launched strikes from the Persian Gulf against targets in Kuwait and Eastern Iraq. America moved from the Red Sea to the Persian Gulf in early February, before the start of the ground war. An underside view of a Fighter Squadron 41 (VF-41) F-14A Tomcat aircraft on a Combat Air Patrol (CAP) during Operation Desert Storm. The aircraft is carrying four AIM-7 Sparrow missiles under its fuselage and two AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles on each wing pylon. U.S. Department of Defense photo Tomcat squadrons mainly flew strike escort missions, though the Tactical Airborne Reconnaissance Pod (TARPS) equipped aircraft proved useful as surveillance platforms after it became apparent that the F-14 squadrons did not need to be fully committed to fighter duties. TARPS aircraft helped search for Iraq’s mobile Scud missiles. The F-14 community’s hopes that their aircraft would add to its laurels in the air-to-air role were frustrated, however, since the lack of enemy air activity provided few targets for the allied air forces, and most of these fell to U.S. Air Force F-15Cs, which were assigned combat air patrol (CAP) duties inside Iraq and over the borders. Almost No Air-to-Air Tomcat pilots, radar intercept officers and plane captains might be forgiven if they expected a lot of air-to-air action. Until the start of the ground offensive, F-14s were tied to defensive CAPs for the fleet and routinely ventured over enemy territory only when escorting strike missions. They flew a handful of offensive sweeps, but the Iraqis refused to engage. On Jan. 17, 1991, for example, VF-14 and VF-32 each sent a pair of Tomcats on a sweep to H-2 and H-3 airfields, with no result. Tomcat pilots, radar intercept officers and plane captains might be forgiven if they expected a lot of air-to-air action. After all, the Tomcat had seen plenty of action during the previous decade. On Aug. 19, 1981, F-14s from VF-41 aboard USS Nimitz (CVN 68) shot down two Libyan Su-22 Fitters over the Gulf of Sidra. On Jan. 4, 1989, Tomcats of VF-32 from the Kennedy bagged two Libyan MiG-23 Flogger Es directly off the Libyan coast. But while the Tomcat proved invaluable during Desert Storm, it did not fulfill its air-to-air potential. The air-to-air mission was assigned to Air Force F-15 Eagles while Tomcats were charged with working with carrier strike packages. An F-14 Tomcat aircraft of Fighter Squadron 103 (VF-103) prepares for refueling during Operation Desert Storm. The aircraft is armed with AIM-7 Sparrow and AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles. U.S. Department of Defense photo The F-14 scored only a single confirmed aerial victory during the war, when Lt. Stuart Broce of VF-1, and his RIO and squadron commander, Cmdr. Ron McElraft downed a Mil Mi-8 “Hip” helicopter on Feb. 6, 1991, using an AIM-9 Sidewinder. They were flying F-14A bureau number 162603. Their success balanced the loss of an F-14 downed by a surface-to-air missile on Jan. 21. Lt. Devon Jones, the pilot of bureau number 161430, was rescued while radar intercept officer Lt. Lawrence Slade became a prisoner of war. The F-14’s standard load-out usually consisted of two AIM-54C Phoenix and two AIM-7F Sparrow missiles under the fuselage, plus two AIM-7Fs and two AIM-9s under-wing, and with external fuel tanks on the under-nacelle hardpoints. TARPS-configured aircraft flew with the reconnaissance pod replacing Sparrows, and usually with an Expanded Capability Chaff adaptor in the port forward Phoenix rail and an AN/ALQ-167 jamming pod under the starboard rail. All participating F-14s were equipped with the ASW-27C datalink, allowing the aircraft to cooperate closely with each other and with Air Force F-15s. Warplanes not equipped with this equipment (such as Royal Air Force Tornado F. Mk. 3s) were not allowed over Iraq, in order to prevent blue-on-blue engagements. The F-14 scored only a single confirmed aerial victory during the war, when Lt. Stuart Broce of VF-1, and his RIO and squadron commander, Cmdr. Ron McElraft downed a Mil Mi-8 “Hip” helicopter on Feb. 6, 1991, using an AIM-9 Sidewinder. Inclusion of two squadrons of F-14A (Plus) models – in Saratoga‘s VF-74 and VF-103 and in later years redesignated F-14B – gave a useful opportunity to compare old and new under combat conditions. A number of TF30 turbofan-engined F-14As experienced compressor stalls and even flameouts when attempting to refuel in flight at high weights and at altitudes of above 23,000 feet, when afterburner was required to stay “plugged in.” Fuel flow under these circumstances was almost balanced by the increased fuel consumption. The A (Plus), on the other hand, with the F110 turbofan engine, proved itself to be exceptionally reliable, and the extra increment in performance was judged invaluable. Some naval officers feel they missed a bet by not using the Tomcat in the strike role, as they did later with the “Bombcat” variant during fighting over Kosovo in 1999 and in Iraq up to 2005. In Desert Storm, there was no shortage of air-to-ground aircraft, but the F-14’s participation could have been a useful and high-visibility demonstration of its versatility. Instead, the F/A-18 Hornet emerged from the war with an enhanced reputation for its multi-role capabilities. This was undoubtedly a factor around the end of the twentieth century when the Navy decided in favor of the next-generation F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and against continuation of the F-14D and various air-to-ground “Bombcat” variants. A Fighter Squadron 114 (VF-114) F-14A Tomcat aircraft flies over part of Al Jaber Airfield. The airfield was heavily damaged during Operation Desert Storm. Some believe that if the Tomcat had been able to perform strike missions during Desert Storm, it might still be in service.

Company’s success in measuring energy use at circuit level fuels plans for expanding into new markets — RandallAnthony Communications Inc. The problem is figuring out where that energy is being lost. And that’s where CircuitMeter has an innovative solution. The Toronto-based company has developed an inexpensive metering technology that can provide instant electricity use data at the circuit level, says CEO Paul Mertes. Over the past two years, CircuitMeter has installed its technology in commercial, institutional and industrial buildings. “We’ve established the functionality of the technology, the economics of the installation and gathered examples of the energy and cost savings enabled through the system data and analytics,” says Mr. Mertes. The technology has helped companies quickly identify energy-draining inefficiencies that include exhaust fans operating 24/7 when they should have been powered down overnight, parking lot ramp heating systems operating in July and conveyor motors operating with a power factor of less than 0.3. CircuitMeter is now embarking on its next stage of growth, raising capital to finance marketing and sales, hire additional employees and expand its operations within Canada and abroad. CircuitMeter’s expansion plans reflect the opportunities for growth in the clean-tech sphere. As part of Canada’s fastest-growing sector, clean-tech companies are adding jobs and revenues at a greater pace than those in the traditional sectors of our resource-rich country. However, Canada is a small market, and creating a thriving business requires looking beyond our borders. “The Canadian market is too small on its own, and our clean-tech companies need to pursue international markets,” says Tony Van Bommel, the senior managing partner of BDC Capital’s $152-million Industrial, Clean and Energy Technology Venture Fund. Both Mr. Mertes and Mr. Van Bommel agree that the first step to international success is for clean-tech companies to prove their technologies close to home.

Fleurety In Music Reviews Min Tid Skal Komme Candlelight Records has re-released a rarely heard and immensely avant-garde slab of black metal by Fleurety. Min Tid Skal Komme was originally released in 1993, on Misanthropy Records. While much of the black metal genre has a problem weathering three years time without sounding dated or corny, this Fleurety release (also included are their first demo and a rare compilation track) not only stands the test of time, but it shows a group of innovators playing unique and well thought out black metal. I’d have to say that the most powerful work on this re-release are the three songs from the A Darker Shade of Evil demo. Not only are they very gritty and dark, but they feature Fleurety’s original vocalist, who is probably one of the freakiest singers (of any genre) ever to have his voice put to tape. Black metal has always seemed to thrive on the dramatic and operatic side of metal, vocals-wise. However, Fleurety’s original vocalist has one of the highest, shrillest screams I’ve ever heard. It sounds nothing like a human voice — more like a bird screaming, or a window being scraped with an ice pick. It’s not only unique, but it’s also somewhat unsettling and intimidating, something modern death metal bands rarely achieve. This re-release is worth the price tag just to hear this singer’s voice — I’m not exaggerating! The tracks from the original release of the album Min Tid Skal Komme (sans demo and comp. track) feature a different vocalist, one who’s much more standard fare in the black metal world, and much less frightening. Nevertheless, the sound quality on these tracks is greatly improved, and the musicians’ talents have improved as well. Fleurety sounds much more like a prog metal band on the later tracks, though the dark guitars and utter lack of bass guitar keep the black metal vibe alive. Three of the album’s songs are longer than nine minutes in length so they develop in many strange and curious ways. It’s really quite incredible that this entire body of work was recorded before 1994, as it’s of a much higher quality than 95% of the entire Candlelight catalogue. This one’s well worth your cash.

These guys changed my oil and didn't put the oil filter back on correctly and therefore it drained out, caused my car to start knocking, took it to my mechanic and had to pay an additional 85.00 to change my oil 3 days after Jiffy Lube changed it. To be fair, I called and spoke with a district manger and they refunded my money. I was lucky but it could have cost me an engine.

Justice starts here. (312) 676-7600 Personal Injury and Wrongful Death Bicyclists Beware New Law Bicycles are reemerging as a popular way to commute, exercise, and explore. With the addition of sharing services like Divvy bikes, you can now unlock a bike from any Divvy station and go anywhere you like. This means that bicycling throughout the Chicagoland area is easier than ever. However, bicyclists should beware. There are city ordinances that prohibit certain actions while on bikes, and state law that may limit a city’s liability if a person suffers an injury while bicycling. Chicago passed an ordinance that prohibits bicyclists over the age of 12, from riding bicycles on sidewalks. Meanwhile, Illinois, passed the Tort Immunity Act, which may limit the liability of a city where bicyclists are injured due to defects in the road. Cities have a duty to exercise ordinary care to maintain its property in a reasonably safe condition for the use in the exercise of ordinary care of people whom the city intended and permitted to use the property in a manner in which and at such times as it was reasonably foreseeable that it would be used. Thus, the City of Chicago may not be liable for bicyclists over the age of 12 who are injured while riding their bikes on the sidewalk because that act is not permitted under city ordinance. Similarly, if a bicyclist rides a bike in a roadway and strikes a pothole and is injured as a result, the city may also escape liability if the incident occurred in an area in which the city did not intend for bicycles to be used. Bicyclists should remain in areas where bicycles are not only permitted but also intended to be used, such as in bike lanes. Also, areas in close proximity to Divvy stations have been found to permit and intend for bicycles usage. Bicyclists who find themselves injured by defects in the road in these areas are much more likely to succeed in a negligence suit against the city and recover damages, as the city would have owed them a duty of reasonable care to maintain the road in a reasonably safe condition for bicycle use.

Ventilation through building walls: Wind tunnel studies Pertti Broas The usual way of extracting the waste air in a multi-storey residential building is to conduct the air above the roof. The purpose of this research program was to examine whether exhaust air from each apartment could be discharged outdoors via exhaust vents mounted on the outer wall in such a way that no odours or other harmful effects are caused. This would facilitate the use of apartment-based mechanical ventilation using wall ventilators which would be of great help specially in renovating old multi-storey apartment houses. A wind tunnel investigation was carried out using tracer gas measurements with models of three multi-storey buildings to determine how much waste air from a wall outlet is carried into the intakes on the same wall. Also full-scale experiments were performed and for comparison some of full-scale test wind conditions were reproduced in wind tunnel tests. Several parameters were varied in wind tunnel investigations, for example: exhaust jet-to-wind velocity ratio, the distance between outlet and intake openings and the position of the wall outlet. The results showed that the exhaust jet-to-wind velocity ratio is a suitable parameter for determining dilution rates and the tests can be carried with different absolute velocity values. Owing to the turbulence caused by the building itself and near-by buildings the trajectories of the exhaust plumes are much more complicated with wall ventilators than with roof ventilators. Near exhaust vents on the open wall, the measured dilution was usually much more higher than that predicted by the minimum dilution theory for roof exhaust. Thus, the theory could be useful when dimensioning exhaust vents on an open wall. In niches and corners the theory does not function reliably.

Thus, the theory could be useful when dimensioning exhaust vents on an open wall. In niches and corners the theory does not function reliably. AB - The usual way of extracting the waste air in a multi-storey residential building is to conduct the air above the roof. The purpose of this research program was to examine whether exhaust air from each apartment could be discharged outdoors via exhaust vents mounted on the outer wall in such a way that no odours or other harmful effects are caused. This would facilitate the use of apartment-based mechanical ventilation using wall ventilators which would be of great help specially in renovating old multi-storey apartment houses. A wind tunnel investigation was carried out using tracer gas measurements with models of three multi-storey buildings to determine how much waste air from a wall outlet is carried into the intakes on the same wall. Also full-scale experiments were performed and for comparison some of full-scale test wind conditions were reproduced in wind tunnel tests. Several parameters were varied in wind tunnel investigations, for example: exhaust jet-to-wind velocity ratio, the distance between outlet and intake openings and the position of the wall outlet. The results showed that the exhaust jet-to-wind velocity ratio is a suitable parameter for determining dilution rates and the tests can be carried with different absolute velocity values. Owing to the turbulence caused by the building itself and near-by buildings the trajectories of the exhaust plumes are much more complicated with wall ventilators than with roof ventilators. Near exhaust vents on the open wall, the measured dilution was usually much more higher than that predicted by the minimum dilution theory for roof exhaust. Thus, the theory could be useful when dimensioning exhaust vents on an open wall. In niches and corners the theory does not function reliably.

BTC Chapter 16 : Popularity Soaring 1/3 of the week Hearing the answer from the person in charge, Qin Zhijie was completely speechless! In fact, he also understands that inferior game of the Death Game Company is simply not comparable to this “Desolate Battlegrounds”. But he was not satisfied with it. Lu Zixin left from him and beat his face before he left. It’s only a month now, is Lu Zixin company stronger than him? Then he hasn’t been white for so many years? What’s more, he has been bragging with Ding Yu and degrading Lu Zixin. Qin Zhijie was upset and thought: “A small game company, no matter how good it is, no one can see it. Sooner or later, you have to rush to the street.” “You must go ahead, our game will be launched tomorrow, don’t go wrong.” “Yes, Qin total.” In university dorm, four junior Oil Stick positive Lie in bed playing mobile games, and it is chicken. “I can’t play anymore, I am dizzy in this picture!” said one of them. “Well, this chicken can’t be used. Let’s try another one?” The four are going to change for a new chicken. “These are all brushes on the leaderboard. The above two are not bad. See if there are any new ones.” “Hey, today there is a new chicken game, “Desolate Battlegrounds”, try?” “”Desolate Battlegrounds”? Listen to this name, it is a garbage pirate game!” One of them disdain, “Look at the publisher, Red Letter Game? I have never heard of it.” “Well, I think so too. Hey, Tencent The hand-to-hand games were launched only next month. I think they are still making it!” “I have downloaded it, give it a try.” Ten minutes later, the student who was the first to download was surprised: “The trough, the discovery of the New World. Is there wood?” “You see, the operation is simple, the picture stability and clarity are particularly good, and you can carry out various operations!” “I look!” The rest of the people gathered around him to see his operation, and found out. “Conscience! There is finally a conscience eating chicken in the country! Just play this!” “I have been dizzy in the shooting game, this picture is particularly stable, I feel not dizzy!” “Do not explain, hurry to download black! ” A forum for eating chickens, “Desolate Battlegrounds” bought a week of advertising space here. “Another chicken game is released? Who played it? How?” This forum is a big fan of this game, so I am very concerned about it. The second floor: “No, it is estimated to be a junk game, no need to play, wait for Tencent.” Third floor: “+1.” Fourth floor: “I will try.” After a while, someone posted: “Try the “Desolate Battlegrounds”, this landlord with the guarantee of the festival, this is definitely the most worthwhile chicken hand tour so far, the details will be updated immediately!” Second floor: “Look, what’s on the ground? The grounds of the landlord!” Third floor : “Advertising?” Fourth floor: “I don’t care, I just don’t believe, I don’t want you to hit me!” Although there are a lot of gags, some people have been attracted to this, and they have tried “Desolate Battlegrounds”. Unsurprisingly, as long as the demo, it is attracted to this game. New posts: “! Niu Niu children too chicken to say I have done you!”Desolate Battlegrounds”, making conscience ah!” “Do not blow not black, this new game is really!” “Fertile groove, it really Is it a mobile game? Is it too sloppy?” So many people posted, naturally attracted curious netizens to download the demo. Anyone who likes this type of game is left behind. Time passed a day. The next day, employees of the Red Letter game came to work as usual. The first thing they want is to know the download data for each platform, and the player traffic. Yesterday, it was too bleak, and they were a little nervous. “Data, how is the data today?” Zhu An hurriedly asked one of them. The man refreshed the back-end management system and then showed a surprised expression. “This data… too…” “What’s too? Is it a street?” Zhu An and other employees are very nervous. “It’s too exaggerated!” said the man. “As of an hour ago, our registered users have turned over ten times and over 10,000! And the growth rate has been increasing. Every hour thereafter, the number of players has increased geometrically. ! ” “What?” everyone was shocked, only a few hundred people to play yesterday, today, tens of thousands of? And grow so fast? Is it going to fire? But soon, they found themselves wrong. This game is not about fire, but to explode! At noon that day, the download of “Desolate Battlegrounds” doubled, and the number of players has reached tens of thousands. And because of the game’s excellent quality and innovative gameplay, word-of-mouth promotion has begun to ferment. B station, eating chicken prince is the site’s famous one to eat chicken game video UP, fans have nearly 100,000 people. He updated the latest video and is a review video of several chicken games. Commented on the ten chicken-handed mobile games currently on the market. Then in the second half of the video, all the comments of “Desolate Battlegrounds”. Eat the little chicken prince: “This “Desolate Battlegrounds” was recommended to me by fans yesterday. After I played a game that day, I couldn’t wait to make this video.” “It can be said that this is the most perfect chicken game in the game market. The vulnerabilities, plug-ins, etc. that we often complain about do not exist in this game. And the operation is very user-friendly, and various judgment systems are simply It’s black technology!” “I personally like this chicken game, so I recommend it to everyone. Interested friends can try it.” The video below is a fan message. “Is it really hanging? Say, is it closed? the advertising? ” “I went to try water! ” “test the water back, very pleasant surprise! I’ve always felt inferior to end when the chicken hand travel tours, travel thought the hand can do so well! ” micro Blog, there is also a famous game review number mentioned this game. “Amway, everyone a new chicken game – “Desolate Battlegrounds”, this is a chicken game released yesterday, the production party is a newly established small game studio. But the game production is simply a domestic hand The conscience of game!” Then, someone asked: “Does the game of “Desolate Battlegrounds” break the layout of the Tencent game about eating chickens?” The answers below are naturally mixed, but without exception. The reason is that many people are beginning to pay attention to this game. In the background data of Red Letter Game Company, the download volume and current registration volume of each game platform are growing rapidly! In Internet age, information dissemination is very rapid. Once the word-of-mouth effect is formed, the propaganda will be much more powerful than the tens of millions of ads you put into it! On the third day of the release, the download volume of “Desolate Battlegrounds” has already rushed into the top five of the chicken game, and on the rankings of the major mobile games platforms, it also rushed into the top ten! This record is for a newly established company. Undoubtedly very amazing! In Red Letter game company, there has been no duplication in the previous two days, and all employees have some excitement and joy on their faces. The achievement of this achievement has exceeded the expectations of most of them. In the office, Zhu An and Liu Tong were happy and reported their data with Lu Zixin. Zhu An said: “General Manager Lu, the current situation is enough to prove that our game has achieved initial success. As long as the operation is stable, it will generate a lot of profit!” Liu Tong agreed: “As far as the current player feedback is concerned, this The game is set to fire. As for how hot it is, you have to look at the next week’s rankings!” Lu Zixin nodded: “Not bad. But not enough, our goal is to rank first!” “First?” The two looked at each other and some could not believe it. Can make the game the first in the rankings, it is simply exaggerated! Liu Tong stayed in the game for so many years, and the game inside the game did not dare to say that the game he launched could reach the first place. What’s more, is it still the same game that so many big game companies compete? On the leaderboard, the products of the major game companies are still dominated by the list! Moreover, several penguin games have to be launched, and at that time, the popularity is not good. BSI Chapter 25: Zanpakuto BTC Chapter 17 : Is This?

For Women's History Month, the Brawny man is a woman. Here are the best reactions. By Eric Lutz Brawny paper towels are celebrating Women's History Month with a brand new look. As part of its #StrengthHasNoGender campaign, Georgia-Pacific, Brawny's parent company, has replaced the iconic flannel-clad Brawny man with a woman. The Brawny woman will appear on Brawny paper towel packages throughout the month of March. Georgia-Pacific, owned by the conservative Koch brothers, will also be highlighting women in STEM fields on its website and donating $75,000 to Girls Inc., which promotes girls in science and technology fields through its Operation SMART program. On Twitter, users celebrated the campaign and used it as an opportunity to highlight inequality. Of course, some also pointed out the unfortunate irony of the Brawny woman: that slapping a woman's face on a household cleaning product may not exactly the definition of progress.

Rev. 2:3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my nameÕs sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. Jesus identifies Himself to the church at Ephesus as the one who Òholdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks.Ó This is a statement that He is the strength and authority behind His messenger to the church. He is aware of and concerned about what is happening in His churches. He is aware of their works/deeds/behavior/actions. He knows that they have laboured, worked to the point of weariness. They have been patient, endured with hope and cheerfulness. They donÕt tolerate those that are evil, hurtful or wicked. They have been very careful to test those who claim to be teaching the truth of God and identify those who were teaching lies. They have endured and been steadfast. They have worked hard and toiled without giving up in honor of the name of Jesus. How could they identify true apostles? 2) They had accompanied Jesus along with the disciples during His time of ministry and witness of His resurrection. Acts 1:21-26 Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection. And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen, That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place. And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles. 3) They could perform signs and wonders. Acts 2:43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. 4) They witnessed with great power and grace. Acts 4:33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. 5) They did not seek personal glory through their ministry. 2Corinthians 11:12-13 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. Nevertheless--On the other side of the coin, Jesus isnÕt happy with them. Why? They have left/laid aside/abandoned their Òfirst love.Ó ÒSomething can be lost by accident, but leaving is a deliberate act,Ó D. Guzik. The Lord urges them to remember Òfrom whence thou art fallen.Ó This indicates that they have gone on a downward spiral in their spiritual life; they are not living in victory. The only way to get back on the right track is to repent--have a change of heart/mind/purpose. The evidence of their repentance is to Òdo the first works.Ó The word for ÒfirstÓ not only references time, but also importance. What are the first works? If they donÕt repent, the Lord will remove their candlestick out of Òhis place.Ó This indicates that each body of believers has Òa placeÓ of service, a purpose in the plan of God. ItÕs up to that body to serve effectively by guarding their sensitivity to the leading and conviction of the Spirit through personal fellowship with the Savior in His word, in prayer and in worship. After these words of rebuke, there is a compliment given to the church. They hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans; God also hates their deeds. IÕve read that these were people who were placing themselves in a special position of honor over the laity—the body of believers (e.g., priests in the Catholic church). Another thought was that they tried to adjust Christianity to the level of the world rather than lifting the world to the level of Christianity. I am sure that the original recipients of these letters knew exactly what was meant. The Lord wants us to exercise discernment in judging what is right and wrong. We are to approve the things He approves and hate the things He hates. It is important to note that God hates the deeds of the sinner—not the sinner. The churches (plural) are encouraged to listen and understand what the Spirit is saying in these messages. Even though there are specific words for each church, the letters are for the edification of each individual in all the churches. Jesus is the one dictating these letters and yet He identifies Himself as the Spirit--yet another proof of the oneness of the triune God. Those who choose to walk in victory in Jesus will be allowed to eat from the tree of life in the place of happiness prepared by God. This letter is really quite disconcerting. It seems that the people were doing many commendable things. The problem seems to be with the attitude of heart with which they are serving. They are even serving for the right reason (for my nameÕs sake), but it seems they are serving out of duty rather than love. This puts me in mind of the Pharisees, etc. God only wants us to give and serve out of a cheerful heart with love and devotion to Him. As I think on my own service to the Lord, I often fear that I sometimes fall into the trap of serving from duty and expectation rather than from love. It just emphasizes the importance of staying connected to the Lord through prayer and His word so that we are sensitive to the leading and/or conviction of the Spirit. Since these letters are written to bodies of believers, I do not believe the Lord is saying that they will lose their salvation. We must also recognize that all ÒchurchesÓ are composed of true believers as well as those who profess faith for whatever reason, but havenÕt really placed their faith in Jesus as Lord of their life. I think He is saying that as a body, they will no longer be useful to Him and will therefore lose their identity as a body. Ray Stedman states it this way, Òthey will lose their ability to shed light.Ó The church is made up of individuals. Encouragement is given to those who choose to listen and heed the message being delivered. They are the ones whose fruit prove their position in Jesus and will qualify them to eat the fruit of the tree of life. They will get to enjoy everlasting life in the presence of the Father. I am reminded of the following verses in Matthew. Matthew 7:15-16 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheepÕs clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. This principle applies to more than just the false prophets. Galatians 5:22&23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Jesus identifies Himself to the church in Smyrna (known as Izmir today) as Òthe first and the last, which was dead, and is alive.Ó I think this is a special address of encouragement to this body of believers who need to be reminded that they are assured of victory over death and eternal life with Jesus because of JesusÕ victory over death through His resurrection. Again, God knows their works/deeds/actions/behavior. He knows about the persecution they have suffered. In this letter we are encouraged to look at things from GodÕs perspective. Though considered poor from an earthly perspective, this church was considered rich from a heavenly perspective. The Lord is aware of the slander and vicious verbal abuse they have taken from those who claim to be Jews, followers of God, but they are really followers of Satan, the adversary of God. ItÕs sad but true that often the persecution of true believers comes from others who claim be part of the church but are actually impostors from the ranks of the enemy. Obviously, these believers have no heart problem; they are serving and enduring out of deep gratitude, love and devotion to the Lord. They probably donÕt even realize the treasures and rewards they have accumulated for themselves in heaven. He encourages the believers not to be afraid of the things they will suffer. He doesnÕt tell them they wonÕt suffer—just not to be afraid of it. Other verses in the scripture support this thought. These verses really make me think. My life has been so blessed. I have never suffered real persecution—not that I want to mind you. But, according to these verses, I will have a time of suffering. There have been some times of testing—especially with my son—but nothing in comparison to those who have really had their lives put in jeopardy because of their faith. The Greek for the word suffer states Òto experience a sensation or impression (usually painful), passion.Ó ItÕs natural to think of this suffering in context of physical abuse and harassment, but it would seem that context would only give partial understanding. You can experience pain and pressure from being surrounded by wickedness. You can experience pain, pressure and suffering from your own struggle with the flesh and the attacks of the enemy. I think that suffering in heart is probably the most common form of suffering in the believerÕs life and that persecution as represented by the pressures of wickedness surrounding us is much more common than physical persecution in the life of a believer. It reminds me of the verse in Peter regarding Lot. Back to the believers in Smyrna--In fact, some of them will be put in prison as a test of their faith. Who puts them in prison? The devil (in the person of those who follow him)—We often forget that he is the ruler currently in power on planet earth. In light of the persecution this church suffers, the meaning of the word Smyrna is significant. It comes from the word for myrrh, which is a plant that only yields its fragrance when it is crushed. Our faith is most on display when we are going through times of testing, crushing times. ÒYe shall have tribulation ten daysÓ – I am not sure what this means. I have read that it refers to being tested for a specified period of time. 2Corinthians 4:17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. Is there insight to be found in some way in connection to the ten days of awe between Rosh Hoshanah and Yom Kippur that are representative of a time of repentance? Special note—This church receives no words of rebuke. If they had been deserving of rebuke, they would have received it. Again, this message is for all the churches; and those who are willing to listen to and heed the message being given will not be hurt by the second death (separation from God forever). Rev. 2:13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where SatanÕs seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. Rev. 2:15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. Jesus identifies Himself to the church in Pergamos as the one who Òhath the sharp sword with two edges.Ó This is significant since this represents GodÕs authority and ability to judge and convict as necessary in this body of believers. Again, He knows their works/deeds/actions/behaviors. He is aware that they are living in the middle of one of SatanÕs strongholds, where Satan was choosing to dwell at that time. The great altar of Zeus, one of the wonders of the ancient world, was in Pergamos. In spite of this, they had not denied His truth, His gospel, even at point of death—as proven by the death of Antipas, GodÕs faithful witness. Pastor Bob had an interesting thought on this church. The fact that they had chosen to stay as ÒlightsÓ in a wicked (dark) place was part of their commendation. 1) They are tolerating those who hold the doctrine of Balaam (who because of his greed encouraged the followers of Balac to lure the children of Israel into eating things sacrificed to idols and committing fornication). Cf Numbers 22-24 and Jude 11. 2) They are also tolerating those who hold the ÒdoctrineÓ of the Nicolaitans. We already learned in the letter to Ephesus that God hates the ÒdeedsÓ of the Nicolaitans. This appears to be a church that is trying to compromise with the world and not offend anyone. That seems to be an apt description of many churches today. They are afraid to speak out strongly on issues in the Word that would identify sin. They are not diligent in guarding against the intrusion of those in the body who would pervert the Word of God. The church is warned to repent—have a change of heart/mind/purpose. If they donÕt, the Lord says He will come unto ÒtheeÓ (the church) and fight against ÒthemÓ (perverters of the truth—false teachers) with the sword of His Word. I think this is indicative of GodÕs willingness to apply whatever judgment/punishment/discipline necessary to preserve His church. 1) Be allowed to eat the hidden manna -- Manna represents bread from heaven, sustenance, GodÕs provision. IÕm not quite sure what hidden manna is unless it is referring to the truth from the Word that can only be discerned through ÒspiritualÓ eyes and ears. Only those who have accepted the Savior and have the Spirit dwelling in them can see through spiritual eyes and hear with spiritual ears. 2) Be given a white stone with a new name that will be known only to the recipient of the stone. -- The white stone represents a verdict of acquittal or ticket of admission—acquittal regarding their sin that is covered by the blood of the Lamb and admission to the presence of God forever. It is not clear in the wording, but I believe the new name is for the overcoming believer since God often gave His followers new names to reflect their relationship to Him (e.g., Abram to Abraham, Sarai to Sarah, Jacob to Israel, Simon Peter to Cephas, etc.). Rev. 2:19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first. Rev. 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. Rev. 2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Rev. 2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. Rev. 2:25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. Jesus identifies Himself to the church in Thyatira as Òthe Son of God, who hath His eyes like unto a flame of fire, and His feet are like fine brass.Ó This seems to emphasize His power and authority in judgment. The phrase Òthe Son of GodÓ is not used in chapter one and affirms the identity of the one Òlike unto the Son of ManÓ (1:13) as Jesus Christ (1:5-6). Again, God knows their works/deeds/actions/behavior, their charity (agape—love/goodwill), service/ministry, faith (moral conviction, fidelity to the truth), and patience (steadfastness, endurance). Then He repeats that He knows their works, to the point that He sees that they are doing much more now than in the beginning. The above are all good things, but they are not evidence of spiritual health. The Lord still has words of rebuke for them. Why? They (the church as a whole) suffer (allow, permit) that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce the believers to commit fornication and eat things sacrificed unto idols. Jezebel is a generic term for a false prophet/teacher; she claims to have special enlightenment. This reminds me of the warning in Matthew; keep in mind that leaven is a type of sin. False teachers in the church tend to emerge gradually. They introduce their false teachings in increments and before you know it, they have a group of followers in the church that have been deceived by their false teachings. We need to recognize that the most dangerous enemies to the true church today have emerged from within its ranks. According to the wording given, it appears to me that there was a specific person, false teacher, at that point in time who was being permitted to operate in this church. God even states specifically that He had given her time to repent of her fornication, but she chose not to. It seems to me that the word fornication in verse 20 is referring to physical fornication as a part of worship (which was common to pagan religions of that time). In verse 22 I believe the word adultery is a reference to spiritual adultery. Eating things sacrificed to idols seems to be indicative of a willingness to compromise with the world instead of coming out from among them and being separate (cf 2Corinthians 6:17). God warns that those who had chosen to consort with her in her immoral activity would experience great tribulation unless they repented (change of heart/mind/purpose). Implied—Those who do not consort with her will not experience great tribulation. People seem to ignore the fact that the Lord sees what is in our hearts and minds. They seem to think that if they can fool the people with their hypocrisy and lies, they can fool God. Òkill her children with deathÓ – I believe this refers to both spiritual and physical death to those who choose to follow her. Those who made that choice were obviously rejecting Jesus and the truth. He will personally see to their judgment. They will die physically as a result of their sin (from venereal disease, Aids, _______), and they will die spiritually (to experience eternity out of the presence of God in the lake of fire). Joshua 2:9-11 And she said unto the men, I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you. For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed. And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath. Each person will be held accountable for his own actions. Those in the church at Thyatira who have not followed Jezebel, who have stood firm and avoided involvement in her false doctrines and intimate contact with the things of Satan, are admonished to continue holding fast the faith until Jesus returns. This seems to indicate that this body of believers was up against serious spiritual warfare from the Òprincipalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high placesÓ (Ephesians 6:12). Their fight to hold onto their faith would not leave them with the energy to accomplish much else. God was not going to burden them with any other demands. God knows our human limits. He will never expect more from us than we are able to do or give. Those who stand fast and keep on putting forth their best effort to emulate the works of Jesus will eventually be given power over the nations (just as God empowered His Son). I believe this is a reference to service in the millennial kingdom. They will rule with the Lord who will rule with a rod of iron. No false teachers will be dealt with lightly at that time. They will be broken and rendered useless as represented by the shards of a broken piece of pottery. The overcomer will also be given the morning star (identified as Jesus in Rev. 22:16). I think this indicates the thrill of intimate fellowship with the Savior for eternity. The sad thing is that the people were to blame for the terrible warfare they were experiencing because they werenÕt diligent in guarding their hearts and exercising discernment regarding who they allowed in their fellowship. God is so merciful. He doesnÕt keep throwing this up in their face. He identifies the problem, and then goes on to encourage them to hold on fast and fight the good fight of faith. He doesnÕt try to punish them by making their burden heavier; theyÕve pretty much brought harsh punishment upon themselves. God opens His message in a spirit of judgment and closes the message with encouragement to be an overcomer. Again, the believers are warned to listen to and take heed of the message being sent to the churches. This church is really active in doing good deeds, showing love to others, exhibiting strong moral convictions, and demonstrating commitment and dependability. This church gives the appearance of having members that are mature Christians in love with their Lord. Truth is that they are lacking in spiritual discernment to the point that a false prophetess is openly operating in the church and has generated quite a following. She is evidently arrogant and full of pride as she is intent on ignoring the truth of GodÕs word and the convicting work of the Holy Spirit in pursuit of her own purposes. She is in league with Satan. Since I first completed this journal, the ÒchurchÓ in America has made great headway in transforming itself into just such a church. I want to be careful not to be judgmental, but discerning. In my opinion, there seem to be more and more pastors of very large churches with national influence who are more interested in leading their congregations into ÒChristianÓ service than in teaching of the whole word of God and investing in the spiritual growth of their members. Their stated motives are identified as reaching the unsaved, while their own members are spiritually malnourished. I believe GodÕs word teaches that the church is supposed to strengthen and edify believers first and foremost. Scripture is clear that the teaching of the word is the primary source of providing the spiritual food necessary for that growth. Christians who are nourished through the word and edified through the Spirit working through the body of the believers to minister to one another will naturally produce Christians who will then go out and win others to Christ through sharing the gospel and showing the love of Christ in service to those in need. It struck me that the Ephesian church had gotten so busy in ministry that it had become focused on what it was accomplishing and was investing no time in fellowship with and worship of the God in whose name they were serving. They were not, however, spiritually malnourished; they were still showing spiritual discernment and evidencing an understanding of GodÕs word since they were able to identify false apostles and hated the deeds of the Nicolaitans. The church at Thyatira is a mirror of the Ephesian church in their focus on serving others, but they evidence no spiritual discernment or understanding of GodÕs word. The Ephesians are called to repent from leaving their first love; in other words, they had given definite evidence of their salvation. In Thyatira, however, most of the church is caught up in the false teaching and adulterous ways of the prophetess. They too are called to repent, but that repentance is from a way of life that is leading to death. The amazing thing is that there are evidently some true believers in the church who are encouraged to hold fast to their faith in spite of the false teaching surrounding them. This makes me think of those today who have probably grown up in a church or just have so many friends and/or family in a church that is spiritually unhealthy that they hang in there hoping they can make a difference. In that regard they are similar to the true believers in the church at Pergamos.
