as they all exist, in lethally concentrated form, in the enormous, shapeshifting capital of Seoul.

Lee, a British former resident of Korea, accomplishes a literary act of which I know no precedent: convincingly rendering Korean characters through Western eyes. His countryman David Mitchell essayed a dystopian Korea in one layer of Cloud Atlas, but he set it in the unrecognizably distant future. Lee writes of the dystopian Korea of today, one that, in his conception, has driven itself nearly to the asylum with its own increasingly impossible standards and hopelessly unrealistic expectations.

Funereal's protagonist, a young lady in her late twenties named Soobin Shin, finds herself plucked from her dead-end donut-shop job by a regular customer, an entrepreneur who has come up with the potential next big thing in aKorean novelist Kim Young-ha's I Have the Right to Destroy Myself, which "features a 'suicide counselor' who helps his depressed clients kill themselves, while the main character I present symbolizes the opposite, a woman who buries her suicidal charges alive so that they can overcome their depression."

"It is, of course, an extreme solution," he adds, "but one inspired by an actual company that operates in the most affluent area of the country's capital." He also highlights the Vice documentary A Good Day To Die: Fake Funerals in South Korea, which surprised him "by showing not the private services imagined in my novel, as held in living rooms and offices for one person at a time, but by another way of doing business entirely": fake-burying en masse, for maximum


basic field of knowledge.

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
This two-volume set presents just over 300 papers from the Tenth International Conference on Aluminum Alloys, held in Vancouver, Canada in July of 2006. The proceedings begins with a special technical symposium in honor of Dr. David Lloyd, in recognition of his long-term contributions to the study of the physical and mechanical metallurgy of aluminum alloys and the fact that he "has provided an excellent example of how one can couple basic science and engineering in an industrial setting." Following the David Lloyd Symposium and six plenary addresses, the papers are presented in sections on alloys and phase transformations; deformation and formability; fatigue, fracture, and creep; joining technologies; "new directions;" novel experimental techniques; processing and process modeling; recovery, recrystallization, and texture;A Season with: Fargo (2017) – Season 3

Review: In first two seasons of Fargo—a powerhouse of anthology based on The Coen Brothers’ 1996 film of the same title, Noah Hawley has proven his worth as a hell of most consistently stylist showrunner. Extracting the comedy-of-errors formula from the film and creating hollow modern folklore set in the film’s universe, Hawley also crafts unsympathetically likable characters and throwing them into an awkwardly cunning situation. The result: a pitch black comedy and mayhem at the same time.

As for the third season, Fargo returns with an unpretentious rhythm—smaller in scale, calmer in sense, lesser havoc compared to the first two seasons (the first renders the film quite closely, while the second feels more heavy-metal)—which ends up in a more traumatic result.


It’s no longer a rough mix of petty-crime-gone-wrong and wrong-people-in-wrong-place situation, although the shades of it still become this season’s foundation. A stroke of enigmatic evil also presents, this time, in a more contagious fashion.

Set in 2010, the third season brings a helluva casts tangled in the cluttered threads. The most pivotal is Ewan McGregor, who portrays Stussy Brothers—Emmit, the successful one, and Ray, the loser—whose feud becomes the show’s capital. In the verge of the feud, both brothers commit ill-advised deals which jeopardize themselves and people around them. Emmit and his colleague, Sy Felts (Michael Stuhlbarg), encounter the enigmatic V.M. Varga (David Thewlis), the source of evil power, like Lorne Malvo or Mike Milligan of this season. Meanwhile, Ray and his girlfriend, Nikki Swango (Mary Elizabeth Winstead),posited that we were entering a new era of SC2. That we were entering an era where Life no longer had rivals. Mvp had succumbed to his injuries years ago. Leenock could never find his form to challenge Life again. Taeja had essentially gone dormant since his last outing at Blizzcon. I posited that it would be Life vs the world, Life against the greatest players of this era. Players like: Maru, Flash, Innovation, soO, Zest, herO, Parting. Yet strangely the man who has given Life the most trouble in 2015 is not on that list. He is not a champion. He is not a God. He is not fighting to be the indisputable best in the world, much less a spot on the List of Greatest Players


other choice). He uses his superior game sense and decision making to find holes in his opponent's plays and attacks any weakness he can see. Innovation is the best standard mechanical Terran of the three and was the best at doing the massive parade push styles. Maru is the most similar to Life. They both often do weird openers that later turn into a standard game if things go wrong. Where they differ is that Life can do this because of game sense, map awareness and micro. Maru can get by on weird openers because he has the best sense of aggressive engagement of anyone in the world combined with micro and an insane decisiveness that no other player can match.

Yet in these three games, Life outdoes themas an overnight success story. He has been playing this game since nearly the beginning when he joined Team MVP in 2010. Much like Maru, he spent almost his entire WoL career and just as how Maru has been inexplicably influenced by Prime, Dream has been inexplicably influenced by his time in MVP.

To understand what exactly it is Dream does, you have to look at his game as a whole, just as any player. Yet Dream has been for most of his career, a complete non-factor. In fact before 2015 you could count the number of series where he played at this level in 2015 on one hand. So for now, I’ve chosen exactly three games to show you what Dream’s version of SC2 is:

Dream vs Parting IEM


a battle of position.

Bonus Game: The Origin of Dream - Dream vs Rain

Head-to-Head: Life vs Dream

So what happens when a player that fights everywhere goes head to head with a player that sees everything? You end up with some of the most explosive games of SC2 in 2015. You see games where the utmost limit of their skills is put the very test as even the smallest details can mean the difference between victory and defeat.

In 2015, Life and Dream have faced off three times total. Once in the SSL Season 1 Semi-finals, once in Kespa Cup and once in S2SL quarters. Each of the series were littered with a lot of mind-games, reactions, adaptations and build order wins or losses on each side. Yet despite that therewere a few games between them that went beyond the normal. That went straight into some of the greatest games played in 2015 so far. In these games, their ideologies, their skills, their very selves clashed in a battle that left both grasping for every ounce of skill, thought and tenacity. They were:

Life vs Dream g6 SSL Season 1 Semi-Finals

Life vs Dream g5 S2SL Quarter Finals

In game 6, Dream was down three to two. While he had put up some fight, he had yet to prove to anyone that he was truly on the level of Life. After failing with some marine medivac hellbat pressure, Life counterattacked and nearly won the game. The rest of the game was an uphill battle and a raw display of Dream’s micro


Dream attacks with the rest of his force abusing the fact that Life completely skipped creep spread (probably in the assumption he had already won the game). By the time the attack hits, Life is forced to bring the Mutas back to defend, his counter-attack lings are dead and while he holds, the rest of the units that were defending the weak positions of Life area nearly on his doorstep. Dream in this game (and in his future games) against Life always reacts to the situation at hand depending on when and where the units are and can instantly switch between defence and offence at a drop of a hat. Dream eventually won the series with another stellar performance where Life looked even less able to deal withDream’s incredible deflection of his constant harassment.

Their latest and greatest encounter was in g5 of the S2SL quarter-finals. In that game, Life was no longer under any illusions as to what the supposed skill level of his opponent was. So going into the game, Life in a rare show of respect went for the safe roach opener into a standard 4 base build. After a massive 4 base attack that Dream barely holds with micro and his incredible reaction speed to bring back his drop of 4 widow mines to flank the attack, the game truly begins.

It is then that we see the eternal fight of Life and Dream. When Life is on form, when Life is at his best, his units are everywhere swarming the Terran and


a thordrop, or emergency repairing his orbitals with scvs, evacuating scvs before the lings even had the chance to kill one. Every time Life was deflected, Dream took that chance to move all troops forward to attack. Life would pull everything together and use every trick he had to beat back Dream and the dance would start anew. Perhaps the most amazing aspect of Dream’s play was that he almost never moved his army as a deathball. He has always in some way tried to keep his army spread out in a large concave, even when moving from side to side on the map, which naturally zones much more area and was critical in numerous engagements that denied Life the chance to counter attack and win the game.

Itis in games like these that you can so the real beauty of SC2. Tournament production is important. Crowds are important. History is important. Personality is important. Storylines are important. But every once in a while you get a game a series a battle of two players that can make you forget everything. EternalEnvy once said that the greatest moments in his career were when he forgot everything. When he was in a zone where he was doing everything he could to win a game. Where the outside world ceased to exist. The tournament, the audience, the pressure of winning or losing, his team, whoever he was playing, nothing but the game itself. And when you win in that moment, the world comes crashing back in, that is


the greatest moment. For Dream, this was such a moment. After winning in the greatest game of his life against the greatest player in the world, he took off his headphones and walked out of his booth and let the Korean crowds chants wash over him as they chanted his name “Cho Joong Hyuk! Cho Joong Hyuk!Cho Joong Hyuk!”

The Great Rivalry of 2015

Games likes this are rare not just in SC2, but in any game. There are sloppy back and forth slobber knockers. There are games where the players take turns throwing the lead or advantage. There are games with incredible execution and games where a player is forced to create an insane comeback. There are games that are decided by either an insane build order or anZerg before him combined with his own style. He has the mechanics of DRG, the defense of Soulkey, the reactiveness of soO mixed in with his insane counter-attack style, decisiveness and killer instinct. Dream is the final form of Bio TvZ. He has the strategic vision of Ryung, the incredible defense and game sense of Taeja, the micro of a prime MarineKing, the incredible offence of a 2013 Innovation. When these two fight, we are seeing the final evolution of TvZ. The combinations and skills of all the strategy and skill of 5 years of play in one game. Where they fight no every front, on every side of the map, in both offense and defense, in large deathball fights and multiple fronts, in every individual skirmish and


every economical decision.

I posited earlier that I believed we were entering a phase of SC2 where Life’s rival was the world itself. That it would be him against the greatest Champions or players of the dy, Players like Maru, herO, Flash, Innovation, Parting, Zest and soO. Yet the player who came to challenge Life in the domain was none of them. It was Dream. And it was not for the dominion of the world, the victory or a championship, or the desire to be the greatest on Earth. It was from the desire of two players to play the best possible Starcraft in their best possible styles, in the perfect expression of who they were as players in one perfect game. In this one moment, in this oneplayer on Earth (because despite his losses to Dream, Life is still very much the best bar none). This is a battle of ideologies, a battle on what it means to play TvZ, a battle for the soul of TvZ, a matchup that is one of the pillars of SC2. It is a battle between two players who as of this moment epitomize the greatest ZvT and the greatest TvZ in SC2.The phrase “Life finds a way” is often used as a comment as to Life’s seemingly inexplicable ability to win any match off of a counter-attack that looks to have blind-sided his opponent at the best possible moment (for Life) and the worst possible moment for his enemy. Yet counter-attacking is not something new and even after


attacks. That is what makes Life special. And combined with his incredible composure, adaptability, varied and wild build orders and strategies and you start to see why he has become the best player in SC2.It would be a mistake to think of Dream as an overnight success story. He has been playing this game since nearly the beginning when he joined Team MVP in 2010. Much like Maru, he spent almost his entire WoL career and just as how Maru has been inexplicably influenced by Prime, Dream has been inexplicably influenced by his time in MVP.To understand what exactly it is Dream does, you have to look at his game as a whole, just as any player.

After failing with some marine medivac hellbat pressure, Life counterattacked and nearly won the game. The rest of the game was an uphill battle and a raw display of Dream’s micro as he perfectly burrowed and unburrowed mines to make sure they didn’t go off on his own units. No medviac was left unattended. His marine splits were so good that the largest group of marines he lost this entire game was 3. In a game where he was down to 2 marines and a viking, if he hadif he wanted any chance to win this game.The most amazing thing about this game was that Life after multiple unsuccessful busts eventually reverted back to his style of mass counter attacking, yet Dream was completely unfazed. His units are always in the perfect position to ward off his mutas, he already has units in position to stop any ling counter runbys (which did happen) while at the same time Dream attacks with the rest of his force abusing the fact that Life completely skipped creep spread (probably in the assumption he had already won the game).

commonly when employed when the spinal curvature is too pronounced to respond to bracing or when established curves threaten a normal productive, pain free adult life. The standard surgical treatment for scoliosis since the mid-1950""s has been an xe2x80x9cinstrumented spinal fusion,xe2x80x9d which typically involves the implantation of metal articles such as hooks or screws to the spinal column at each end of the curve. Retaining rods are then attached to the hooks or screws at the ends of the curve. Surgical instruments are then mechanically used to straighten the spinal column (by twisting the spinal column or jacking it up) and the rods are then attached to the hooks or screws and fixed into place to maintain the position of the spinal column in the lengthened, straightened andcorrected position. Surgery may be performed using the anterolateral approach, in which correction of the vertebrae is performed from the patient""s front or side or the posterior correction method in which correction of the vertebrae is performed from the rear.
To prevent subsequent loosening of the implants and loss of correction of the deformity, a spinal fusion of the instrumented section of the spinal column is virtually always performed at the same time as the instrumentation. This means that bone chips are placed along portions of the spinal column not covered by the implants. These bone chips or grafts induce the vertebrae which were part of the curvature to grow together (fuse) over a period of weeks to months to years. This fusion maintains the correction of the spinal

History

Founding and Leadership
Failure Analysis Associates (FaAA) was founded in April 1967 by then Stanford University professor Alan Stephen Tetelman along with his colleagues Bernard Ross, Marsh Pound, John Shyne and Sathya V. Hanagud with $500 in capital.

At the time of FaAA's founding, Ross was also an engineering program manager at SRI International (then the Stanford Research Institute) (1965–1970). While en route to the site of a Navy jet crash investigation, Tetelman was killed on September 25,


Indian-American, born and raised in Southwest Ohio, is now being viewed by top Democrats as a worthy candidate to run against Republican incumbent Congressman Steve Chabot of Westwood, Ohio, in Congressional District 1, according to Cincinnati.com.

“He’s an incredibly talented public servant who has already made an impact in his role as Hamilton County Clerk of Courts, even earning praise from top Republican officials who are impressed with his accomplishments,” Gautam Raghavan of the Indian-American Impact Project and Indian-American Impact Fund, told News India Times.

A product of Ohio public schools, whose parents are first-generation Americans, Pureval reportedly met recently with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in Washington, D.C.

The Ohio State University graduate showed early promise when as the student body president, he lobbied the Ohio state legislature to increasefunding for higher education. Pureval did law from the University of Cincinnati where he was editor of the Law Review, and worked at the Domestic Violence Clinic, his bio states. He was also appointed by Governor Bob Taft to work on a taskforce with university presidents and state legislators to study higher-education funding and submit strategies for reform.

After law school, Pureval moved to Washington, D.C., to join the well-known law firm of White & Case LLP, where he was honored with a firm-wide award for his pro bono work representing battered women.

Pureval returned to Hamilton County where he worked as a Special Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Department of Justice. As a federal prosecutor, he worked with the FBI, Secret Service, and other law enforcement agencies to investigate


and prosecute felonies involving guns, crimes against children, and white-collar crimes.

Fast forward to 2018, and his kind of background is what the Democratic Party believes will swing the vote in its favor.

“Washington Democrats could be close to landing their big-time candidate to take on Congressman Steve Chabot this fall,” Cincinnati.com said describing Pureval as a great catch. A spokeswoman for Pureval’s campaign confirmed to the news outlet that he is being recruited, but declined further comment.

In the first week of January, Pureval reportedly traveled to the capital to meet with the DCCC, which according to Cincinnati.com, had been courting the Indian-American since the Spring of 2017, soon after he got elected as county clerk.

Though he allegedly told investigators he drugged and sexually assaulted the girl before accidentally killing her, JonBenet's autopsy report found no evidence of drugs. Her death, the report said, was caused by strangulation after a beating that included a fractured skull. The autopsy report describes vaginal injuries, but makes no conclusions about whether she was raped. Investigators in the case llater concluded there was no semen on JonBenet's body.

Dorothy Hong for HuffPost Jennifer Hyman first showed a killer sales instinct as a schoolgirl selling Passover candy in non-Jewish neighborhoods.

To be clear, Hyman’s story is not some kind of Horatio Alger tale of rags to riches. Everything about her upbringing set her up for professional success. She grew up in an upper-middle-class neighborhood in New Rochelle, north of New York City, the beloved eldest daughter in a family of three girls and a boy, surrounded by loving parents and grandparents. Her youngest sister is severely autistic, and her mother gave up a promising career in finance to stay home with the children fullwhere the students were a little more eclectic.

At Harvard she was just as successful. As editor-in-chief of the Harvard Crimson’s weekly magazine Fifteen Minutes, she launched an annual feature on the 15 Most Interesting Seniors that’s still published today. She was among the founding class of one of the school’s first women’s clubs, the Seneca Club, created because men already had private social clubs where they could network. At Seneca, Hyman founded the Red Party, “literally the biggest party of the year,” she said.

But after Harvard came reality, and Hyman bumped up against what seemed like the only obstacle that would impede her almost pre-ordained destiny: She was a woman.

At her first job out of college, a strategy position at the hotel and travel company Starwood that she

She took a job at IMG, a well-known talent agency that’s under different ownership now. Hyman was the only woman on an 80-person team in an environment that was “cutthroat and nasty,” she said.

It was at IMG that she learned what misogyny really felt like. After Hyman pulled together a multimillion-dollar advertising deal, a male colleague twice her age strutted into her office and let her know he’d be taking credit for it. “He was, like, ‘No one is going to believe that some 26-year-old woman executed this multimillion-dollar deal, and I have three kidsthe designer) are better than the ones that came with the vanilla game.

"In My Time of Dying" (also called "Jesus Make Up My Dying Bed" or a variation thereof) is a traditional gospel music song that has been recorded by numerous musicians. The lyrics "Jesus goin' a-make up my dyin' bed" appear in historian Robert Emmet Kennedy's Mellows – A Chronicle of Unknown Singers published in 1925, on Louisiana street performers, and also listed in the Cleveland Library's Index to Negro Spirituals.[1][2] They refer to a deathbed and were inspired by a passage in the Bible from Psalms 41:3 "The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing, thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness".[3]

Contents

In October 1926, Reverend J. C. Burnett recorded "Jesus Is Going to Make Up Your Dying Bed", but it was never issued.[3] Abiographer noted that Blind Willie Johnson may have heard Burnett's song or otherwise learned some of his lyrics.[3] Blind Willie Johnson recorded the song during his first recording session on December 3, 1927 as "Jesus Make Up My Dying Bed" and the second take was released as his first single in 1928, backed by "I Know His Blood Can Make Me Whole" (Columbia 14276-D). Johnson performed the song as a gospel blues with his vocal and slide guitar accompaniment, using an open D tuning with a capo resulting in a pitch of E♭.[3] An initial pressing of 9,400 records showed Columbia's confidence in the song, who normally released fewer records for major stars such as Bessie Smith.[3] "A later pressing of 6,000 made this a massive debut record"


and one of Johnson's most successful records.[3]

In December 1929, Charlie Patton recorded a version with somewhat different lyrics as "Jesus Is A-Dying Bed Maker" (Paramount 12986-A). On August 15, 1933, Josh White recorded the song as "Jesus Gonna Make Up My Dying Bed" (Banner 32859). White later recorded it in 1944–1946 as "In My Time of Dying", which inspired several popular versions.

The song gained greater prominence in popular music when Bob Dylan included a version (along with several others dealing with the subject of death) on his 1962 eponymous debut album. The song had a slightly different name on the Dylan album, "In My Time of Dyin'."

The liner notes to the album explain

Dylan had never sung 'In My Time of Dyin' ' prior to this recording session. Hedoes not recall where he first heard it. The guitar is fretted with the lipstick holder [ makeshift slide ] he borrowed from his girl, Suze Rotolo, who sat devotedly and wide-eyed through the recording session.[4]

John Sebastian's version of the song, under the title "Well, Well, Well," is the opening selection on his 1971 album The Four of Us (Reprise catalog no. MS 2041), and was also issued as a single (Reprise 1050). Sebastian's arrangement, also credited to Joshua White, is lyrically similar to Dylan's, but features an up-tempo blues-rock approach with no slide guitar. The musicians on this version, which was produced by Paul A. Rothchild, include Sebastian (guitar and vocal), Paul Harris (keyboards), Greg Reeves (bass), and Dallas Taylor (percussion).

Led Zeppelin's "In My Time of Dying"


was released on their sixth album Physical Graffiti; it is the third song on the album, and closes Side 1 of the album's original double-LP configuration. At 11:06, it is the longest studio track on any Led Zeppelin studio album, but contains no long instrumental passages despite its extended timing. As Physical Graffiti was exceptionally successful commercially, achieving RIAA 16x Platinum status, Led Zeppelin's rendition of the song is probably the most widely known. Physical Graffiti's credits list the four members of Led Zeppelin as the song's authors, despite the earlier released versions of the song.

Jimmy Page's guitar tuning for this song is an open A chord (E / A / E / A / C# / E from bottom to top), and (with "When the Levee Breaks"and "Traveling Riverside Blues") is one of the most recognisable instances of Page's slide playing on a Led Zeppelin recording. John Paul Jones played a fretless bass. John Bonham's drums were recorded with a distinctive reverb effect, in the same manner as on the track "When the Levee Breaks" from Led Zeppelin's fourth album.[5]

In the May 2008 issue of Uncut Magazine, Page elaborated on the humorous reaction in the studio which can be heard at the end of the song:

We were just having such a wonderful time. Look, we had a framework for "In My Time Of Dying", Ok, but then it just takes off and we're just doing what Led Zeppelin do. We're jamming. We're having a ball. We. Are. Playing.[6]

Record producer Rick Rubin has remarked on


the song's structure, "The bass line in the fast grooves is so interesting and unexpected. It keeps shifting gears, over and over."[7]

Led Zeppelin performing "In My Time of Dying" live at Chicago Stadium, January 1975

"In My Time of Dying" was played during Led Zeppelin's 1975 and 1977 concert tours, where Robert Plant sarcastically dedicated the song to the British Labour Party's Chancellor of the Exchequer, Denis Healey, for the tax exile issues the band was facing. When played live, the band tuned the song down by a tone. Although performed in 1977, Plant initially was not keen on singing the song after suffering a near-fatal car crash in 1975, due to its fatalistic lyrical theme.[5] This was one of the few live songs where Page switched to hisblack and white Danelectro guitar, which he also used for "White Summer" and "Kashmir". One live version of "In My Time of Dying", from Led Zeppelin's performance at Earls Court on 24 May 1975, is featured on disc 2 of the Led Zeppelin DVD, and its promotional sampler on the Mothershipcompilation.

In 1993 when Jimmy Page toured Japan with David Coverdale as Coverdale/Page, they performed this song on all seven of their dates. Page performed this song on his tour with The Black Crowes in 1999. A version of "In My Time of Dying" performed by Page and The Black Crowes can be found on the album Live at the Greek. Page also included the song as part of his solo Outrider tour. "In My Time of Dying" was


performed at Led Zeppelin's reunion show at the O2 Arena, London on 10 December 2007.

A version of the song by Big Sugar is present on certain versions of a 1993 live album El Seven Nite Club Featuring Big Sugar. The version is credited as a traditional arrangement. The album was recorded live at The Rivoli nightclub in Toronto, February 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, 1993.Liberty Drops Conference Match to Winthrop

Despite a career-high 16 kills by Kendle Rollins, the Liberty Lady Flames struggled to find any momentum, dropping a 3-0 conference match to the Winthrop Eagles, Saturday afternoon, at the Winthrop Coliseum.

In addition, libero Kelly Haseman's 11 digs moved her into No. 5 on Liberty's single-season top five list, as she has now tallied 514 digs on the season. She also holds the No. 2 spot for her 2009 campaign, in which she recorded 560 digs during the season.

The loss cracks Liberty's eight-match winning streak, as the Lady Flames drop to 20-8 overall and 11-2 in the Big South. Liberty's only two conference losses have come to Winthrop this year.

With the win, the Eagles improve to 11-13 overall and 8-5 in conference play.

The


a set point.

Winthrop shrugged off two set points on back-to-back kills by Stephanie Palmer, prompting Liberty Head Coach Shane Pinder to give the call for a timeout at 24-22.

The Lady Flames struggled to regain their composure, as the Eagles tied it up, 24-all. After an attack error by Happel, the Eagles earned a set point of their own, but Rollins came up with a kill to tie it up, 25-25.

Winthrop then closed it out, 28-26, after a kill by Kellie Sellers and a Bacon attack error.

Rollins led all players in the opening set with six kills, while Kaley Viola paced Winthrop with four kills. The Eagles hit .211, and held Liberty to .143. Also, Anderson notched her first solo block of the season.

Winthrop stayed hot as the secondset. Toor led the Winthrop attack with four kills, and the Eagles posted three team blocks compared to Liberty's one.

The third set saw Winthrop take an early advantage, but the Lady Flames found their footing and kept the match at a one-point margin until the Eagles broke away, 14-10, after two aces by Kristin Cruse and a Liberty attack error.

But the Lady Flames fought back to 16-15 behind a few Winthrop errors and key kills by Rollins and Bacon.

From there, the set was even, as Liberty eventually tied it up, 17-all, on a block by Rollins and Craycraft. Liberty then took its first lead of the set, 18-17, when Rollins and Craycraft jumped for their second straight block.

But Winthrop continued on, finding an answer for nearly everything the


Lady Flames could muster, and sealed the 25-20 victory on a block by Carolyn Weed and Toor, closing out the match.

The loss marked the first time Liberty has dropped a 3-0 decision to a Big South opponent since Oct. 26, 2006, when the Lady Flames were swept by Charleston Southern on the road.

Rollins and Bacon each posted four kills in the final set, while Viola, Weed and Felts each notched three for the Eagles.

Rollins led all players in the match with her 16 kills, while Bacon added 10 for the Lady Flames.

Both teams are on the road for upcoming matches, as Winthrop will travel to UNC Asheville on Friday at 7 p.m., and the Lady Flames will take on Coastal Carolina next Saturday in Conway, S.C., at 2Residences — because of traffic, gentrification, and affordable housing concerns, they are actively campaigning against it, spending an unknown amount on a ballot initiative that would restrict zoning exemptions and make it difficult for city planners to greenlight large, dense structures.

Developers and politicians are paying attention, especially since Weinstein and AHF have found success before at the ballot box. The organization's controversial push for mandatory condom use on Los Angeles County porn sets passed overwhelmingly four years ago; it's spearheading a similar statewide initiative for the November ballot.

While some local leaders and adult film industry officials denounced AHF's condom regulation, saying it would drive away local production and tax revenue, no one questioned why the group was taking such a stance. But the commitment to fighting development in


Hollywood and using AHF funds to do it has some scratching their heads.

Seeking to kill the Palladium Residences and similar projects by limiting density exemptions via the ballot initiative "is not understandable," says Dana Cuff, a professor of architecture/urban design and urban planning at the Luskin School of Public Affairs at the University of California, Los Angeles. "I'd go further than that; it's actually a misuse of their funds."

In a frank and sometimes tense conversation with The Advocate, Weinstein defended his skyscraper war, saying it made sense for AHF to fight for its community.

"Our international headquarters are located in Hollywood and have been since 1989," Weinstein says, describing the recent increase in development and congestion in the once-seedy district. "A large number of us live in the area,each other.

"Many of the Center’s facilities are based in Hollywood, where there is a tremendous housing crunch," LGBT Center CEO Lorri Jean said in a statement. "We haven’t taken a position on this project, but we welcome much-needed affordable housing units here because their proximity to us and to public transportation would make it even easier for low-income people to access our services."

Though he's aware there are prominent leaders who disagree with his initiative, including the area's councilman and the city's mayor, he's faced fierce opposition before and survived. Weinstein dismisses any criticism of AHF's crusade found in the comment boards of local media stories as coming from "greedy developers."

Renato Balsadonna, ex-Chorus Director at the Garden from 2004 to last year.

So to the cast. Our Butterfly was Ermonela Jaho, Albanian-born and now New York-based. While in 2012 I found her Violetta Valéry initially unfocused and generally uninvolving (see review), here she seemed perfectly within the part of Cio-Cio-San. Her final gestures, where she flaps like a dying butterfly, were deeply affecting, the result not just of the moment but an inevitability, it felt, from the very opening of the opera. Vocally she was exceptional, her “Un bel dì” delicately toned and phrased, fragile as a cherry blossom; yet her voice is capable of power. No lack of stage presence here, either. As so often, she is hardly believable in terms of the supposed age of her character(a pronounced titter from the crowd confirming this) but her triumph was, thereafter, making us all forget such trivialities in her absolute grasp of the role.

The Pinkerton, Argentine tenor Marcelo Puente, was making his Royal Opera debut. He has sung this role in Gothenburg, Leipzig, Tokyo and at La Monnaie. And he does look the part, tall, strapping and dashing. But his acting was mannered, especially in the first act, and while the duet at the close of the first act was well managed (“Vogliatemi bene”), his voice needs more control and power in its upper reaches to have a real Puccini heroic tinge to it.

As Goro, the experienced Carlo Bosi wore the part as comfortably as he wore his stylish light suit, his initial interactions with Pinkerton


believable and fine Sharpless, while Jeremy White was a brilliant Bonze (a role he is most comfortable with here at the Garden having taken it many times before). As the unsuitable suitor, Prince Yamadori, Ukrainian baritone Yuriy Yurchuk made the most of his opportunity (he sang it here in 2015; he was also Baron Dauphol in a recent Traviata).

It is always good to welcome members of the Jette Parker Programme, and one such here is the excellent Emily Edmonds, the Australian mezzo that took Kate Pinkerton. Seen in silhouette initially, when she had the chance she positively shone. Also from the same scheme is Gyula Nagy as the Imperial Commissioner.

The Covent Garden Chorus was on brilliant form. There’s a lot of off-stage work here, and the distancing wasGet breaking news alerts and special reports. The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.

More than 70 firefighting experts from Australia and New Zealand will travel to the United States to help tackle deadly wildfires across the West as local officials warned they could not keep up with the spread of the flames.

The international contingent will travel to Boise, Idaho, on Sunday for a briefing and then be sent to areas including California, Oregon and Washington.

A mandatory evacuation order was issued Thursday night for the town of Tonasket in north-central Washington, about 60 miles northeast from where three firefighters were killed. Conditions deteriorated in the area Thursday with high winds and high temperatures.

Nearly 29,000 firefighters — 3,000 of them in Washington — are battling some 100 large

One of the largest — the 16,000 acre Twisp River fire — grew rapidly Thursday and has merged with the 88,161-acre Okanogan Complex of fires, the state Public Lands Commission said.

"We cannot keep up. We do not have the resources. It's nonstop," Okanogan County Chief Sheriff's Deputy Dave Rodriguez said. "It's all burning, and we don't have the resources available. We cannot get out and put boots on the ground for all these fires."

The56 experts from Australia and 15 others from New Zealand include specialists such as heavy machinery operators, task force leaders, supervisors, airbase managers, safety officers and strike team leaders, said Craig Lapsley, emergency management commissioner for the Australian state of Victoria.

The deployment will allow them to “support other countries in their time of need,” he said in a statement. “The crews … are very experienced in dealing with large wildfires having handled fires on similar terrain across Australia.”

The overseas intervention came as the U.S. Forest Service identified the three firefighters killed in Washington as Tom Zbyszewski, 20, Andrew Zajac, 26, and Richard Wheeler, 31.

The men, all members of an engine crew from Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest in central Washington, died Wednesday after their vehicle crashed and was overtaken by


flames near the town of Twisp. The fire spread quickly and erratically, driven by wind and feeding on drought-parched land.

Zbyszewski was a physics major at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington, and was fighting wildfires this summer to raise money for school, his parents, both of whom have also worked for the Forest Service, told NBC News.

"He loved Whitman and Walla Walla. He just loved that college," said Zbyszewski's mother, Jennifer, a recreation management specialist for the Forest Service.

New South Wales, 1885

When Alice Ryan wakes to find thugs surrounding her cottage, on the hunt for her no-good brother, she escapes into the surrounding bush.

It is wealthy landowner Robert Farrer who finds her the next morning, dishevelled, injured, and utterly unwilling to share what she knows. With criminals on the loose and rumours that reckless bushrangers have returned to the area, Robert is determined to keep Alice out of danger, and insists on taking her into his home-despite the scandal it may cause. Convincing her to stay on with him for her own safety, however, is going to take some work.

What Robert doesn’t expect is his growing attraction to the forthright, unruly woman staying in his home. Before either of them can


settle into their odd new situation, their home and wellbeing come under threat and they will need to trust each other to survive. But they are both keeping secrets, secrets that have the potential to ruin their burgeoning love, their livelihood … and their lives.

And here are the first few pages:

Chapter 1

Southern Tablelands, New South Wales

Late April, 1885

Alice Ryan woke at the first shout, and sat bolt upright at the second.

With her mind still muddled by sleep, her body shook with fright before she even realised what was happening. She felt the unease, the disturbance in the night. This far out the bush was usually still, the quietness punctuated only by the odd scuffle of a possum or rustle of wind in the trees. But right now therewas an energy that didn’t belong.

Curling her fingers into the counterpane, she waited in dreadful anticipation.

There. A voice—faint, but distinct—reached her ears, becoming louder as she sat frozen in place.

Someone was out there, in the dark.

‘Ian?’ she whispered, uncertain. Who else could it be but her brother, and yet … Some instinct stopped her from calling out and confirming she was home. And just as it took complete hold, a second voice joined the first.

Slipping free of the blanket and pressing her bare feet to the floor, she clutched the bed’s footboard and waited. And waited.

The light of a flame—so dim at first she thought she’d imagined it—flashed not too far beyond the cottage’s small window. It wasn’t much, but it was so foreign in the darkness of


her decision in an instant.

Moving fast, she struggled into her frock and grabbed her shawl from the end of the bed before slipping a hand beneath the mattress for the small packet she kept hidden there. She stuffed it down the front of her bodice, shaking with fright and determination.

Trying her best to be quiet, she scrambled across to press her back against the cool wall near the door.

One of the men spoke again but she still couldn’t make out the words. There were at least two of them and they weren’t just talking, but laughing. Whacks echoed through the night air, as though they were hitting at the scrub with sticks, and then she heard more laughter in amongst the other sounds of the night.

Whatever they weredeteriorated to lots of noise and blur in each of its shots. Interestingly, almost all of the "best" shots I picked from the GS5 were in automatic mode rather than HDR, as HDR seemed to introduce even more noise and weird discoloration in dark scenes. Samsung's phone bested the Nexus 5 in just a couple of the selected low light scenes, but even then it wasn't by much. The Nexus 5, by contrast, was smooth and far less noisy than the Galaxy S5 in nearly every low light shot, with better shot-to-shot consistency overall. Also in contrast to the GS5, the Nexus 5's best shots were primarily in HDR+ mode, with only one or two automatic shots making the cut as the better of the two from the

The event, called Peace in the City, was taking place at Isaac Campbell Park, in Titusville and featured several games and gifts of school supplies for approximately 150 children and their families, none of whom appeared to be hurt.

Titusville Police Deputy Chief Todd Hutchinson said in a statement: “This suspect opened fire at a crowded public park, this could have been so much worse.” The gunman is believed to have fired at least 12 bullets into the crowd according to police.

A video posted by the DJ at the event, Dwight Harvey, showed the moment the shots rang out.

Police said the bystander cooperated with authorities and no charges have been filed against him.

The head of the agency, Luis Felipe Puente, said 94 are dead in Mexico City, 71 in Morelos state, 43 in Puebla, 12 in the State of Mexico, four in Guerrero and one in Oaxaca.

Interior Minister Miguel Angel Osorio Chong had earlier said the total was at least 226, but this was quickly revised up to 248 on Wednesday morning, before coming back down.

Central Mexico was struck by a 7.1 magnitude quake yesterday evening and a citywide recovery operation is currently underway in the capital. Some 86 people are thought to have died in the city itself.

Among those killed were at least 20 children in a school where buildings collapsed.

The earthquake struck close to the town of Raboso in the central state of Puebla, 76 miles southeast of Mexico City, the US Geological Survey said.

It was the deadliest in Mexico since a 1985 quake on the same date killed thousands. It came less than two weeks after another powerful quake caused 90 deaths in the country’s south.

Mexico’s federal government has declared a state of disaster, meaning emergency funds are now available to help respond to the devastation.

Translocated animals might disperse from prime habitat and face unsuitable habitat and possible increased exposure to predators. This might lead to decline of a translocated population and could compromise the success of translocation. We assessed whether short-term confinement within enclosures at the translocation site can significantly decrease post release movement, if confinement allowed animals to become familiar with the new habitat, and to overcome handling related stress. We simulated the translocation of an Australian lizard, the endangered pygmy bluetongue lizard Tiliqua adelaidensis, into the centre of a large enclosure and compared the behaviour between individuals confined to the central region for one or five days before release. We found that lizards confined for five days

when Oates herself was a college student.

Oates’s first published novel, With Shuddering Fall, appeared in 1964. In the half-century since, she has written several shelves’ worth of novels, plays, and memoirs, as well as collections of stories, poems, essays, and criticism. A list of her awards and commendations would fill a shelf, too; she is arguably her country’s most distinguished living writer. What matters most right now is that the last few years have found her publishing urgent, compelling, of-the-moment books, fully engaged with the concerns that have always powered her work.

The epic A Book of American Martyrs, from 2017, plunges deep into the national divide, surveying the mind and family of a murdered Midwestern abortion provider—and then following the daughters of both the killer and the victimembrace her, and who didn’t have a father. I saw a picture of Norma Jean when she was sixteen, in high school. She had brown hair. She wasn’t glamorous, but she had a look of yearning in her eyes, and I so identified with her. I wanted to write about Norma Jean and what happens in a life or in a country where she can become Marilyn Monroe, who’s all bleached hair and dead at the age of 36. For me, it was like a great adventure and a mystery to follow her through a metamorphosis, where she becomes literally the most glamorous woman of the twentieth century, the most sexy woman of all time—but also dead. Like, what does it mean to have that kind of celebrity,

The future of personal computing is changing, and Microsoft's recent major reorganization reflects that. But it also feels confusing.

Microsoft's announcement of its reorganization of the Windows team – effectively breaking up the Window Devices Group – was seen as a surprise by many. For others, the writing had been on the wall for the last few years. While cloud and edge computing bolstered by artificial intelligence (A.I.) sound like buzzwords, many tech companies including Amazon, Facebook, and Microsoft are betting big on them. What does former Windows chief Terry Myerson's departure say about Microsoft's faith in Windows 10 and the future of the consumer market? It's complicated.

Moving towards ambient computing

Microsoft's Windows 10 OS had a rough start a few years ago as the company tried to rebound fromenjoyment of the leased premises. A landlord’s negligence for purposes of a breach of the covenant of quiet enjoyment can be proved by evidence of the landlord’s failure to repair defects for which he or she had notice, or negligent conduct in making repairs.

In one recent case in the Northeast Housing Court in Massachusetts, a tenant sued his landlord for damages after he slipped and fell on ice in the driveway of his apartment building. In that case, the jury returned a verdict finding the landlord 47% at fault for the accident, and the tenant 53% at fault. Based on the Massachusetts law governing comparative negligence, the plaintiff was barred from recovering on his negligence claim because he was found to be more than 50% at fault. (see


residential building, nonresidential building and nonbuilding construction segments, each of which accounted for around one-third of total construction spending in 2011.

Residential building construction is expected to advance at an 8.5-percent annual pace in real terms through 2016, primarily spurred by rising personal income levels, household growth and continuing urbanization. Government efforts to improve living conditions for low-income earners will also help drive gains in residential building construction spending, according to the report.

Nonresidential building construction expenditures are forecast to rise 8.3 percent annually in real terms through 2016. Advances will be driven by robust increases in consumer spending—both in China and abroad—for Chinese manufactured goods and services, reports the Freedonia Group. These increases will spur domestic and foreign direct investment in plants, warehouses, commercial buildings, and shopping complexes, accordingOld and new teams resume the contest

The front benches tell us about the present state of play, not the
result in three years.

To use a footballing metaphor, the Coalition has the look of a
team that has won four flags in a row. The fourth Howard ministry
that was sworn in yesterday is loaded with proven performers. Prime
Minister John Howard had said: "I did not see a case for disturbing
a very strong and a very competent team." He made no changes to his
cabinet and only minor ones to the outer ministry, so some poor
performers survive. Only Danna Vale was dropped. De-Anne Kelly, who
becomes the National Party's first female minister, takes over at
Veterans Affairs. Peter Dutton, the other new minister and, at 33,
the youngest, has a new portfolio, Workforce Participation. Mr
Howard


has also acted on two points of policy vulnerability. In the
new Human Services portfolio, Joe Hockey has the job of improving
welfare and support payments. To tackle a looming skills shortage,
Gary Hardgrave has been given the role of Minister for Vocational
and Technical Education and Minister assisting the Prime Minister.
Otherwise, it's steady as she goes for the Coalition.

By contrast, Labor is rebuilding its team and has shed several
former ministers. Its leader until last December, Simon Crean, was
saved only by Mark Latham's intervention. Young, unproven teams can
benefit from retaining a veteran or two. Mr Latham also had to stop
the factional brawling or risk having appointments seen only in
terms of allegiances. The focus fell on the contest for shadow
treasurer until Latham ally Julia Gillard, whose membership of the
Left may have caused uneasein business circles, put a shrewd spin
on withdrawing. "What the party needs is a sense that we're locking
in an able team that is balanced across the party," she said. The
need to project balance and inclusiveness, and to restore Labor's
economic management credentials, dictated Mr Latham's allocation of
the key portfolios to two former backers of his rival, Kim Beazley.
The shadow treasury has gone to Wayne Swan and the expanded
portfolio of industry, infrastructure and industrial relations to
Stephen Smith. "Roosters" they may be, but they possess the hunger
and policy credentials to help put Labor back in the contest. The
other key players, Kevin Rudd and Ms Gillard, remain in foreign
affairs and health respectively, where they have performed well.
Jenny Macklin stays on as a low-profile deputy leader.

Ascertaining the Place of Social Media and Technology for Bariatric Patient Support: What Do Allied Health Practitioners Think?
There is an increasing presence of patient-led social media, mobile apps and patient support technology, but little is known about the role of these in the support of bariatric surgery patients in the UK. This study aimed to seek the views of allied health professionals (AHPs) working in bariatric surgical teams to understand their current perceptions of the role of social media, mobile apps and patient-support technology within bariatric surgery in the UK. A confidential, printed survey was distributed to the AHPs at the British Obesity and Metabolic Surgery Society (BOMSS) 7th Annual Scientific Conference in January 2016. An email to AHPs who did not attend the conference was sent requestingfor various research. (AP Photo/Jim Cole.) Ad Policy

Conservatives manufacture outrage; such is their (anti)civic function. A favorite tactic from time immemorial has been to find "outrageous" federal outlays get and present them as stand-ins for the supposed recklessness of government spending altogether. One of Ronald Reagan's mentors was a pioneer. H.R. "Charlie" Gross had been news director of WHO in Des Moines in the 1930s when Reagan worked there as a sportscaster, back when Reagan was a New Dealer. Gross, though, was a dyed-in-the-wool reactionary, and the two would get into knock-down-drag-out debates over lunch. ("Somewhere around the last months of Dutch's employment at WHO," one of their colleagues remembered, "I recall thinking that maybe Gross was winning him over.") Beginning in 1949, Gross moved on from his


career as an early Rush Limbaugh to a seat in Congress, where he specialized in the aforementioned activity; in 1953, for example, he went after the Navy for supposedly requiring a board of three commissioned officers to investigate whenever a pet died aboard a navy vessel. Did the Navy pay “as much attention to the death of children?” a Republican colleague chuckled appreciatively. “I doubt it,” Gross replied.

When it came Reagan's time to address the nation himself as a syndicated radio commentator in 1975, he showed how well he had learned Gross's hustle. "If you're not familiar with the term 'boondoggle,' consider the fact that our federal government recently underwrote the cost of a study dealing with Polish bisexual frogs," he intoned on one broadcast. How absurd towhat I remember—for a monthly publicity stunt called the Golden Fleece Award,' bestowed upon what he would claim was the month's most wasteful and ridiculous pockets of government spending. The pundits fell in love with the notion's good-government pretensions, and for all I know the stunt did the nation some good paring the federal budget of waste, fraud, and abuse. I suspect, though, the exercise was largely a silly waste of time. One of my professors in graduate school won a Golden Fleece award. Senator Proxmire awarded it for a supposed grant to fund her "mountain climbing hobby." Actually, she's one of the nation's most distinguished anthropologists. She has never climbed a mountain in her life, but used her field work among Sherpas of Nepal to arrive at

Sacramento, California: The Crocker Art Museum will host “The Art of Disegno: Italian Prints and Drawings from the Georgia Museum of Art” through February 12, 2012.

Disegno, or the ideal expression of form through line, was central to Italian art for more than three centuries. In Italian art especially, drawing formed the basis for every manner of visual expression in the 16th through 18th centuries, from printmaking to painting to sculpture.

Then we'll create a `Shark` object that embeds the `Animal` object:

Wait a second! Where is the field name of the `Animal` type? Did you realize that I used the word _embed_ in the previous paragraph? This is because, in Go, you can also embed objects within objects to make it look a lot like inheritance. That is, we won't have to explicitly call the field name to have access to its fields and method because they'll be part of us. So the following code will be perfectly okay:

A basic structure of a capacitor, which will be referred to as a solid electrolytic capacitor element, is formed by the aluminum foil, the aluminum oxide film, the polypyrrole layer, the graphite layer and the silver paste. The anode is constituted by the aluminum foil, the dielectric member is constituted by the aluminum oxide film, and the cathode is constituted by the polypyrrole layer, the graphite layer and the silver paste. For electrical connection with the exterior, an external anode terminal and an external cathode terminal are mounted on the capacitor element, and an external packageis provided for sealing the element and shaping the external form of the capacitor.
The external anode terminal and the external cathode terminal are formed by a base member formed by a copper-based or iron-based metal and surfacially plated with a metal for enabling soldering. The external anode terminal is adjoined by an electric welding or an ultrasonic welding to the aluminum foil constituting the anode, while the external cathode terminal is electrically fixed, for example by a conductive adhesive material, to an outermost layer of the cathode.

A look at Sox in crystal ball

Baseball Prospectus’s 2012 projections are out, and there are some interesting tidbits regarding the Red Sox:

Jacoby Ellsbury will see a decline in his power numbers. He was in the top 10 in baseball in percentage of fastballs seen last year, and will likely see more breaking balls and secondary pitches in 2012. He is projected to dip from 32 homers to 12, with his RBI total going from 105 to 71. He is also projected to have 40 steals.

Carl Crawford will bounce back to hit .291, but he remains at 11 homers with only 10 more RBIs (66).He is not a kid who gets a lot of media attention in the Sox system, even though he hit over .400 in the Gulf Coast League last season. But he is a tremendous athlete who can hit. Josh Beckett knows who he is now. The 20-year-old native of Tiverton, R.I., jolted Beckett’s world in one round of BP Friday. He lined a double and also hit a hard ball up the middle that missed Beckett only because there was a screen. After Beckett decided to come high and tight in an attempt to intimidate the kid, Kapstein dug back in and sent a fastball more than 400 feet beyond the wall in center. One of those special spring training moments.

The DeVos Legacy

A plan was being hatched in 1991 in Grand Rapids to build a convention and multi-purpose sports arena in the northern area of downtown. During that time, Dick Devos who was on his way to his family’s Amway Corporation decided to lobby against the idea. He was worried that the construction of a convention center in downtown Grand Rapids would be detrimental like the construction of the palace of Auburn Hills and the Pontiac Silverdome when the Pistons and the Lions left respectively during the 1970s.

Devos’ crusade against the aforementioned facility resulted to the organization of Grand Action that is composed of business leaders who supported the building of the Michigan State University’s medical school, the Grand Rapids City Market, the DeVos Performance Hall, the DeVosPlace Convention Center, and the Van Andel Arena.

The Dick and Betsy DeVos Family Foundation have reportedly given $138.7 million to scholarships for private schools, policy initiatives that are focused on education, human and health services, churches, culture and arts, and leadership programs starting in 1989 to 2015.

In 2006 in Grand Rapids, the couple made a prominent donation that amounts to $12.5 million in the building of a $103 million worth hospital for children within the Spectrum Health System that was named Helen DeVos, after dick’s mother and wife of Richard DeVos, co-founder of Amway.

The presence of the children’s hospital, according to Dick DeVos has taken the stress off for families to travel and for parents to take time off work to drive to Chicago, Ann Arbor, Mayo (Clinic)


or to whatever place to receive health care.

Improvement in education is one of the major initiatives of the DeVos’, which is why Dick DeVos established a flight charter high school on the International Airport of Grand Rapids. In agreement, Betsy DeVos stated that her husband’s and her philanthropy and advocacy have always been on the same footing that searches for similar results: that kids who come from needy families will be given the same opportunities that their own children had.

The philosophies of the DeVos have not always been able to convince the public when in 2000 a DeVos subsidized legal amendment to generate tax-funded vouchers so students can enter private schools has been rejected. And after six years, Dick DeVos lost his campaign for office as governor toof malice murder,

armed robbery, theft by taking, possession of a firearm during the commission of a

crime, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He contends that the trial

court violated his Fourteenth Amendment right to due process and his right to

present a complete defense by excluding hearsay statements implicating another

man in the crimes for which he was convicted.

LG Beats Rivals In Race To Sell New OLED TVs

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — LG Electronics Inc. started taking pre-orders on Wednesday for the world's first big TVs that use an advanced display technology promising startlingly clear images on wafer-thin screens.

The South Korean company said the 55-inch TVs, which use a technology called "OLED" and have a price tag of 11 million won ($10,335), will be delivered to buyers in its home market next month. The new TVs will be available in North America, Europe and the rest of Asia before the end of March, LG said in a statement.

While LG becomes the world's first company to bring a big-screen next-generation TV to market, it's far from clear whether the bet will pay off because of the highcost and difficulties of manufacturing, cutthroat competition from rivals and diminishing returns from incremental increases in image quality.

LG's announcement is the culmination of a race by electronics makers to be the first to deliver the next-generation sets that began in 2007 when Sony Corp. showed off the world's first OLED TV, which had an 11-inch screen. But the Japanese company failed to follow up with a bigger display.

While OLED panels are more widely used in mobile screens, mass producing large panels is still tough because of technological challenges. Jang Moon-ik, director of LG's TV business, said in an interview last year that only two companies in the world have a capacity to make large screen OLED TVs: LG and rival South Korean company Samsung Electronics.

BERNARD, SAINT (1090-1153), abbot of Clairvaux one of the most illustrious preachers and monks of the middle ages, was born at Fontaines, near Dijon, in France. His father, a knight named Tecelin, perished on crusade; and his mother Aleth, a daughter of the noble house of Mon-Bar, and a woman distinguished for her piety, died while Bernard was yet a boy. The lad was constitutionally unfitted for the career of arms, and his own disposition, as well as his mother’s early influence, directed him to the church. His desire to enter a monastery was opposed by his relations, who sent him to study at Châlons in order to qualify for high ecclesiastical preferment. Bernard’s resolution to become a monk was not, however, shaken, and when he at lastdefinitely decided to join the community which Robert of Molesmes had founded at Citeaux in 1198, he carried with him his brothers and many of his relations and friends. The little community of reformed Benedictines, which was to produce so profound an influence on Western monachism (see Cistercians and Monasticism) and had seemed on the point of extinction for lack of novices, gained a sudden new life through this accession of some thirty young men of the best families of the neighbourhood. Others followed their example; and the community grew so rapidly that it was soon able to send off offshoots. One of these daughter monasteries, Clairvaux, was founded in 1115, in a wild valley branching from that of the Aube, on land given by Count Hugh of


Troyes, and of this Bernard was appointed abbot.

By the new constitution of the Cistercians Clairvaux became the chief monastery of the five branches into which the order was divided under the supreme direction of the abbot of Citeaux. Though nominally subject to Citeaux, however, Clairvaux soon became the most important Cistercian house, owing to the fame and influence of Bernard.[1] His saintly character, his self-mortification—of so severe a character that his friend, William of Champeaux, bishop of Châlons, thought it right to remonstrate with him—and above all, his marvellous power as a preacher, soon made him famous, and drew crowds of pilgrims to Clairvaux. His miracles were noised abroad, and sick folk were brought from near and far to be healed by his touch. Before long the abbot,who had intended to devote his life to the work of his monastery, was drawn into the affairs of the great world. When in 1124 Pope Honorius II. mounted the chair of St Peter, Bernard was already reckoned among the greatest of French churchmen; he now shared in the most important ecclesiastical discussions, and papal legates sought his counsel. Thus in 1128 he was invited by Cardinal Matthew of Albano to the synod of Troyes, where he was instrumental in obtaining the recognition of the new order of Knights Templars, the rules of which he is said to have drawn up; and in the following year, at the synod of Châlons-sur-Marne, he ended the crisis arising out of certain charges brought against Henry, bishop of Verdun, by persuading
