NYCDP Questionnaire:
Michael Trusnovec, with Paul Taylor Dance Company.
What career would you choose if you could not be a dancer? MT: I think that had I not fallen I love with moving and music, I may have gone into the science and technology field. I was always fascinated with biology and anthropology classes in school and now one of my favorite magazines to read each month is FAST COMPANY. What are your worst fears (professionally or personally)? MT: I can't think of anything I'd label a fear in my life. Concerns arise at different times and I'm the type to face them head on so they don't become all consuming. As a dancer, I'd say I think about having a long, healthy performing career and - to be able to dance forever. The reality is that the physical demands at some point will become too great. I know that whatever I do post performing will have to be as fulfilling, physically and mentally, as the life I wake up to every day. Which person (dead or alive) would you most want to dance with if you could? MT: My first impulse is always to answer Fred Astaire, as he was such an important inspiration to me as a young, tap dance loving kid. Lately, I can't get the image of Bob Fosse out of my head. His was such a unique way of moving - incredibly stylized, subtle, odd, intelligent, and musical. How interesting it would be to move next to him, to try to emulate his brilliance. And his inspired choreography - there's nothing like it!
If a child told you they wanted to be a dancer, what would your advice be? MT: Love what you do everyday is what I tell every young, aspiring dancer I meet. It can be a difficult path, but the rewards are incredible. What 3 items do you always have in your bag with you? MT: A mechanical pencil, a fantastic book and a pair of headphones. What career would your family have chosen for you? MT: I am so grateful that my family has always been my greatest cheerleader. They've seen how seriously focused I've been about making what I've loved to do since I was 6 years old into a life-long career. If given a choice, I believe they proudly would have chosen a performance life for me. What is your idea of perfect happiness? MT: Doing something you love to do, everyday, surrounded by people who care about and respect you, and make you laugh. Who would you like most to have a coffee with (could be dead or alive)? MT: Dead - Fred Astaire, as he was such an influence on the way I move. His life, and the era he was alive and working, are fascinating to me. Alive - James Cameron, or some other incredibly imaginative creator who thinks beyond what we hold as possible. What is your favorite city to tour to and why? MT: Paris is easily one of my most favorite cities in the world (next to NYC). Gorgeous, romantic, history and art filled, an easy city to get lost wandering its winding streets, sipping coffee in the quaint cafes, shopping. Performing at Paris Opera was absolutely one of the most memorable experiences of my long touring career. What was your biggest mishap in a performance? MT: With so many years of performances under my belt, little mistakes happen often and you learn to barely notice and forget them quickly. One that I actually remember took place during a live music performance of Mr. Taylor's LE SACRE DU PRINTEMPS (THE REHEARSAL). Patrick Corbin was dancing the Private Eye role and in a sequence where I, as one of the cops, was executing a very stylized chase, the tempo accelerated to a comically fast speed. The manic look on Patrick's face sent me into a fit of laughing that I couldn't stop, and unsuccessfully attempted to hide behind an outstretched arm, at the expense of the choreography. Gratefully the moment was short and I was offstage soon after to compose myself. Is there a special meal you have before performances? MT: Most days, but especially performance days, I tend to be a creature of habit when it comes to eating. There are very specific foods I know will be easily digestible and will sustain my energy and strength throughout a demanding show. For years, 2 hours before the show I have a protein bar and some low- sugar oatmeal. I've found this combination works well for me so I rarely stray.

Getting tired of that sloppy steering
feel you get under braking, acceleration and even when you hit small
bumps in the road? This is caused by your weak endlinks and soft
bushings that come with them, but the Perrin Rear Endlinks with
Polyurethane Bushings serve as an upgrade that will fix this
problem. These endlinks are made of 6061 T6 aluminum with stiff
polyurethane bushings that are sure to stand up to the forces of your
stock or aftermarket swaybar.
With stock equipment, your endlinks will
flex even under minimal swaybar pressure because of their steel
construction. But with the Perrin Endlinks and Polyurethane
Bushings, even the thickest swaybar won't be a challenge to handle.
Your Scion FRS or Subaru BRZ will feel so much more
planted during cornering, accelerating and braking because of less flex
and more downward pressure on your tires. Overall, the Perrin Rear
Endlinks with Polyurethane Bushings are a huge confidence booster with a
small price.

Rear Endlinks with Polyurethane Bushings from Perrin for your Scion FRS or
Subaru BRZ, give ModBargains a call at

A Different World
Critics of Powell, Rice have become slaves to race
Published Oct. 27 in The Sun News
I graduated from St. Stephen High in 1991, an almost-all ``black'' school.
After I decided to attend Davidson College, an almost-all ``white'' liberal arts institution, a friend of mine pulled me aside and gave this command:
``Don't come back white.''
Her message was clear. It had nothing to do with skin tone.
In her mind, being ``white'' included having a love for country music and/or rock 'n' roll, speaking ``proper,'' questioning programs such as affirmative action ... and, God forbid, dating ``white'' girls.
In other words, I was to avoid any independent thinking and living that would be an affront to tradition.
During my senior year at Davidson, a fellow African-American student informed me I had become just that. ``White.''
She was upset over a column I had written in the student newspaper that outlined our need for increased dialogue, particularly concerning the practice of campus police stopping and questioning dark-skinned males.
She wanted me to be more forceful, to bash the police, something I had essentially done a week earlier before considering all sides.
Her message was clear as well:
``Agree with me or else.'' ``Do what I say.'' ``Say as I do.'' ``Don't question me.'' ``Enjoy only what I want you to enjoy.'' ``Hate when I want you to hate.'' ``Love when I say you must love.'' ``Hurt when I say it's time to hurt.''
``Only Uncle Toms and sell-outs will veer from this mandate.''
And in case you missed it, entertainer Harry Belafonte sent Secretary of State Colin Powell and National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice the same message. Only he didn't call them ``white,'' but rather house slaves who have succumbed to the will of the master, President George W. Bush.
``When Colin Powell dares to suggest something other than what the master wants to hear, he will be turned back out to pasture,'' Belafonte said.
Belafonte's words were wrong-headed, hurtful, off-base - considering Powell daily is barraged by conservatives for not being in step with the Bush administration on a variety of issues - and revealing.
The next time Belafonte or any of his defenders cries about the lack of minority representation in government, in the movies, on the sidelines of Division I football teams, in boardrooms - anywhere - don't believe them. They're lying.
If critics like Belafonte were serious about equality, they would welcome and celebrate the diversity of thought and experience brought by those such as Powell and Rice who struggle to make decisions based on careful thought and moral reasoning.
But that's not what they want. They want people who will be slaves to an outdated way of thinking.
They don't believe in equality. They believe in enslaving people just as much as the slaveowners of the 1700 and 1800s. Only they can't use whips or chains, only words and a warped since of loyalty.
Theirs isn't a physical slavery, but rather a psychological one.
Funny thing, though. Their anger and hurt has so blinded them they don't realize they have become slaves themselves.
Slaves to race, a mythical entity.

Bihar CM Nitish Kumar feels there's no one strong enough to take on Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the 2019 general elections, so he was justified in shifting his allegiances to the BJP. But there was another reason for him to make this move: caste.
In a gesture that sent out a strong message to ultra-nationalists, 114 veterans from the Indian Army wrote an open letter addressed to the prime minister, chief ministers of the states and lieutenant-generals of the Union territories, condemning the spate of hate crimes and communally charged incidents in recent times.
A Mumbai boy jumped to his death, allegedly to complete the dreaded 'Blue Whale Challenge', which began in Russia a few years back and has led to the loss of many lives since then.
Main News
The government at the Centre came up with a slew of defences when charged in Lok Sabha over its lack of action over the recent spate of lynchings for alleged crimes of beef-eating or cow slaughter. Here's what it had to say to the Opposition.
The State Bank of India has cut the savings bank deposit rate to its lowest level in six years for most savers because demonetisation has saddled it with an avalanche of cash. It is also expecting a reduction in lending rates in the next two days.
Three top Indian IT firms -- TCS, Infosys and Wipro -- have seen a drastic cut in their workforce at the end of the June quarter in which more than 1800 employees altogether from these companies were let go of.
Off The Front Page
In one of the rockiest week to have hit the White House since Donald Trump took office early this year, the president fired Anthony Scaramucci, the chief of staff he had appointed barely ten days ago, over charges of an obscene tirade.
Abu Dujana, a top Lashkar-e-Taiba commander operating in Kashmir, is believed to have been killed on Tuesday in an encounter with security forces in Pulwama district, TV reports said.
In a move that will probably surprise no one,the Narendra Modi government is considering the idea of forming a ministry for cows, BJP president Amit Shah said on Monday.
In The Indian Express, Farzana Sheikh argues that the use of Islamic injunctions to dismiss Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif from office by the Supreme Court of the country could set a bad precedent and undermine democracy.
In the recent controversies over Tejas Express, launched with much fanfare by the Indian Railways, point to two facts. Not only is there a gap between expectation and reality, the Railways are also flouting safety norms while running their services. An editorial in the Hindustan Times says it as it is.
The proposed amendments to the Whistle Blowers Act may defeat the very purpose of the legislation, Anjali Bhardwaj and Amrita Johri argue in The Hindu.

Is it really the end of the American (Global) Dream? (Or for that matter: Greece, UK,Italy, Ireland,Australia, etc). After World War II our parents had expectations that their future would consist of a good paying job, a home for their family and a solid education for their children.
With a little help from the Government, Labor Unions and Hard working Americans the economy began to expand resulting in the growth of businesses, confident consumers purchasing an every expanding variety of goods/services and most of us smiling all the way to the bank. The quality of life for the middle class was shining brightly for a few DECADES.
But so much has changed in 50 years. The Financial Institutions: Banks,Mortgage Companies, Credit Card Companies are gone or corrupted. Just think about the current Facebook IPO who won big: the small retail investor or the large commercial underwriters? The Public Unions are a shadow of their previous role and government is in a state of ineffective chaos. The economic and political divide between the wealthy and the middle class has grown and with it some of the American Dream seems to have died.
We have gone from a country of shared values to a country of my values (or else). So very :((((. What do you think? As a job seeker are you ready to wrestle your way back to embrace the dreams of the middle class?

For those of you who enjoy playing memory games, I found a new site you may want to try out that will test your memory. The site is in beta and definitely has a number of grammar errors. The English translation needs work, but that won't prevent you from playing the games. You can choose between memory games using words, numbers, or colors. Tasks include sequencing and matching. As with other memory games, correct answers earn you the right to advance to the next higher level. (Errors stop you in your tracks unless you register on the site.)
Follow this link to access these memory games www.iBraining.com
The more online memory games I come across, though, the more I realize that they aren't particularly helpful when it comes to improving memory overall — for many reasons. Most of these online memory games impose time limits on the player, and as a result, the player usually doesn't have sufficient time to implement helpful memory strategies such as linking, method of loci, story-creation, and so on. As well, flashing numbers and colored circles don't contain the characteristics that the brain needs for an event to be memorable. Go here to read more of my comments about memory games and what makes things memorable.
Have you tried some of the memory games I've mentioned elsewhere on this blog? How did you do? How did you feel about the methods used to test your memory? Did your memory improve in general or did you just get better at playing the games?

Transitioning your favorite Summer top into Fall!
It's hard to decide what I want more... warm weather to stick around or to finally be able to dress for Fall (it's my favorite season to dress for). I guess I have to meet in the middle because inevitably, Summer weather is going to get more and more sparse and it will be full on Fall jacket weather. Until that happens, I am going to continue to wear my favorite Summer top as much as I can!
A few months back, I found THIS gorgeous embroidered top from Goodnight Macaroon (if you gals don't know this site... now's the time)! I lived in it all Summer long. Most days pairing it with my favorite cut off jean shorts and lave up sandals. Once Fall rolled around I wasn't ready to put it away for the season yet. So, I decided to put together a transitional outfit perfect to take your favorite Summer tops into Fall. It's fairly simple, actually!
First, start with your favorite Summer top. (find THIS ONE HERE for under $75!!!) Pair it with your favorite cropped pant or jean (my favorite pair HERE). I'm sticking with a light wash for now to keep the outfit a tad more on the Summery side. For a shoe choice, swing an open toe as long as you can because it won't be much longer until all we know is un-pedicured toes, stuffed inside wool socks and boots (welcome to Midwest Winters, am I right)!? I opted for THIS chunky heeled mule, it's the perfect transition shoe. Not too Summery but not a full on Fall choice. For warmth I went with a more neutral colored leather jacket similar to THIS ONE. I would have also worn this with an olive green canvas jacket like THIS. For the final touch I wore THESE super fun mirrored sunnies. They're also from Goodnight Macaroon and they're on sale right now too! Find them HERE.
Moral of the story? Take these simple steps and enjoy your Summer clothes for as long as you can! Technically? Sure, it's Fall but who said you can't still enjoy your favorite embroidered blouse?

Research in the PV sector: broad approach requested
A few days after the publication of the SET Plan, EPIA provided its comments on the new Commission communication, but also to highlight the potential impact of the PV Strategic Research Agenda and medium term research priorities
Brussels, 27th November 2007 - The final EPIA Round-table in a cycle of 6 debates, running since May 2007, focused on research and development in the photovoltaic (PV) sector and its impact on market development. A few days after the publication of the SET Plan, EPIA took this opportunity to provide its comments on the new Commission communication, but also to highlight the potential impact of the PV Strategic Research Agenda and medium term research priorities
The Strategic Research Agenda (SRA), published in June by the European Photovoltaic Technology Platform, provides short to long term research priorities in order to support the PV sector in achieving competitiveness. It is the result of a common work undertaken by all the stakeholders of the PV sector. With well coordinated research activities at national and European levels the industry could deliver products able to compete with retail electricity prices by 2015 in Southern Europe and by 2020 for most of Europe. This would make a significant contribution to reaching the EU's 2020 targets.
The private sector is currently increasing its investments in research, in the near future its contribution is expected to even surpass public funding. This share will increase further as the sector grows. The FP6 (2002-2006) budget for PV research reached approximately 108 million euros, representing around 20% of total public budgets for PV R&D in Europe. In order to implement the SRA and to provide a strategic response to the rapid growth of private sector investments, these figures should be increased by a factor of 2 for the same period of time in the FP7. In view of the share of the EU budget in the total of PV R&D, it is clear that substantial and coordinated efforts will also have to come from Member States.
The Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET Plan) presented on 22nd November considers PV as one of the key technologies to contribute to the 2020 targets. In particular, it proposes the "Solar Europe Initiative" (SEI) towards large-scale demonstration for photovoltaics and concentrated solar power in order to realise a significant breakthrough able to raise PV's contribution in Europe's energy mix.
EPIA and the EU PV Technology Platform note with satisfaction that solar has been included within the SET-Plan but would like to stress that it is essential that the EC include both large-scale power plants and small-scale distributed systems, in particular in the built environment, should be considered. Moreover, the SEI should address both market development and technology development, since these are the pillars under the impressive progress in PV so far and are key components for future success.. Finally it is essential that the EC closely involve involves EPIA and the EU PV Technology Platform in the design of the proposed initiative in order to be inline with the sector's needs and experts' views and thus to have maximum chances of success..
EPIA and the EU PV Technology Platform therefore request:
=> A doubling of public budgets for PV research, and as a crucial part of that, a doubling of the PV budget in FP7 compared to FP6;
=> A parallel development of the key PV markets in large scale power plants and distributed systems, especially in the built environment;
=> Close involvement of EPIA and the Photovoltaic Technology Platform in the design of the "Solar Europe Initiative" proposed in the SET plan.

In this personal essay, a young poet attends a funeral in his native Saint Lucia, where a spontaneous funeral chant puts him in mind of a poem by Auden. To Vladimir Lucien, the funeral chant and the Auden poem constitute different approaches to the finality of death. In their juxtaposition, we learn something not only about the language and customs in the Saint Lucian countryside, but about the universal human yearning for the transcendence of our finitude.
Alloy's funeral was packed. It had to be. In the village of Mon Repos, Saint Lucia, he had been everything: head of the local "friendly society," choir member, bus driver, community organiser and activist, folk singer. The church, however, was an unusually small and claustrophobic Catholic Church with a low ceiling; it felt like a house converted into a church and hurriedly sacralised. Alloy's daughter—who was a lecturer, my colleague—delivered the eulogy.

Book Review - A Christian Man's Guide to Love and Marriage in the 21st Century
A man who wrote a GUIDE and didn't call it a BOOK.
He called it a GUIDE, and that's precisely what it is, a GUIDE.
I read Don Riefstahl's new book, "A Christian Man's Guide to Love and Marriage in the 21st Century" on my way down to Kansas City. I was able to finish reading the entire tome before reaching Missouri because it is a short, succinct guide. As it's title suggests, it's for Christian men and it addresses love and marriage.
To be truthful (which Christians appreciate) it is NOT reading material for any veteran or experienced reader of The Manosphere for the past 2 years. It summarizes some basic information, tenets, philosophies and laws that have been discovered and repeated adinfinitum on The Manosphere. However, it's intended audience is NOT that of those exeprienced Manospherians. It's market is for two distinct set of Christians:
1. Men of all ages who have yet to wake up and unfurl the brainwashing "churchianity" has forced on them
2. Young Christian boys who are about to hit puberty and are in for a world of hurt unless somebody gets them this information right quick.
In short, two groups of people who have NEVER heard of the Manosphere or been introduced to its ideas but desperately need them.
The major problem I personally have with the guide is what makes it most marketable - it's for Christians. Ergo, it cites scripture and bases some of its arguments on the word of God. I personally don't believe some of the conclusions (women submit and serve your husbands, etc.) or other bits of advice that come in the book, but it isn't intended for people like me. It's intended for Christian men. Therefore, if they are true believers in the scripture, they will appreciate this tailor-made guide for their religion.
Naturally, anybody who cites scripture is lambasted in the secular community as a sexist, neanderthal who is foolish enough to believe in god (while oddly silent about radical Muslim's treatment of women). However, the biggest push back many Christian men face comes from within their own church which has been more or less hijacked by political correctness, feminism and cultural marxism. This puts many Christian men and boys in a very confusing spot. Do they follow the teachings of Christ and the word of God, or do they kowtow to the screaming Christian women who want abortion, pick and choose passages from the bible that convenience them, divorce frivolously and seem to use Christianity as a mere pharmaceutical to scratch some kind of psychological or social itch they have?
In short, your average secular man whose brain has not been encumbered by religious indoctrination does not need this book. The first few chapters are so elementary and apologetic they actually made me wince. But if you look at it through the lens of a brainwashed Christian boy who's not only been fed all the leftist feminist BS from secular society, but also the emasculating "churchianity" BS from his church you can understand the introductory and kid's glove nature of the book. Therefore, even though I wouldn't recommend it to any of my secular friends, I do recommend this short, brief and succinct book be put in as many hands of your Christian friends as possible.

I would only do so if I know the author has gone to collage, otherwise no.

No Kindle version. Paperback only.
It's probably a great idea. I was in a really bad marriage that somehow dragged on for 12 years before divorce last year. The majority of advice I got from the church was useless and mostly served no other purpose than to frustrate me. I read a lot of books on marriage and most of them were equally useless.
If the author had a Kindle version, I'd buy and review it. It sounds like this one is at least a little bit better than "Love your wife as Christ loved the church", AKA "let her walk all over you and put up with it since she has no accountability."
Thanks for reviewing this. I look forward to checking this out.
As someone who was one of those who had to fight through the feminist churchianity I was inundated with for 40 years, I intend to give better to my son.
I figure I can collect Dalrock's blog entries, but a stand alone book would be nice too.

It is interesting that it both includes a point of view clearly coming from (or appealing to) a churchianity mindset, with that horrifying apologizing section at the beginning, and later gives it a whack with the bit about submission - which more and more fully awake people (let those who have digested the red understand) are realizing is a valid thing. Even psychology is hesitatingly starting to call a spade a spade, and not just a Sub a sub. Look, there's no ignoring the astounding level of white knight brainwashing that goes on. It is arguably the biggest social support of the church lady idiocy you listed in the review. Without it, the whole thing falls apart, women will be held accountable to the scripture they claim to follow, men might become men, cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria!
But you have to approach it from that point of view. These guys are carefully trained as any feminist to have certain responses to challenges to their own illogic, and dodging past that is the first step to waking them up. Trust me on this: I was one of them. Once something that actually works gets tried, all the craptastic guidelines and advice, however earnestly given, comes into question. No, this sort of guide isn't useful to anyone who is any distance down the road to truth. It's just to jostle some guys to the starting line.

One tool for strengthening literacy skills is to turn on the captions when watching TV. Rowan McVey from Captions for Literacy has kindly agreed to do a guest post giving us more information for how to use captions effectively. This post is a repeat of a post ran last fall, with updates.
Using Captions to Strengthen Literacy Skills
A study was recently published that showed that children who chose to read in their leisure time did significantly better in school across a broad range of subjects. The researchers theorized that it was because these children had a larger vocabulary, helping them recognize more of the words used in their lessons.
That must have been music to the ears of parents whose kids love to read. But what about the more reluctant readers? Is there anything parents can do to help them get the same vocabulary boost?
The good news is, the answer is yes! A growing body of research has shown that watching captioned videos helps students of all ages recognize and understand more words when reading. (It also improves a host of other reading skills, including listening comprehension and oral reading fluency.)
So if you're the parent of a reluctant reader, make sure the captioning is on when they watch TV or DVDs. It's quick, it's easy, it's free — and it works! To turn on captioning, look for a CC button on your TV's remote control. If you don't have one, find the Menu button and browse the options to find the one that turns on captioning. For more help, check out our page on how to turn on captioning.
If you have more time and energy, find captioned videos online that match up with the subjects your child is currently studying in school and watch them with your child. Talk about the new vocabulary words you heard and saw in the video. They'll recognize more of the key terms in their lessons at school and also retain more of the content of the video. Khan Academy and the Described & Captioned Media Program both provide free video libraries; BrainPOP and Zane Education have captioned videos available for a small monthly fee.
And if you're concerned about limiting your child's screen time, not to worry — studies have shown that watching as little as a few minutes of captioned educational videos every few days was enough to have a significant effect on reading skills. So go ahead and turn on those captions!
Bio: Rowan McVey has been a professional IT educator for fourteen years. She has also pursued a variety of volunteer interests in that time, most recently becoming the executive director of Captions for Literacy.
Thanks, Rowan!

Another week has gone by and here we are, embarking on the month of November! Our little family has been through the works this week. Just as we were about to head home from church on Wednesday, Noah jumped off the stage in the parish hall and split his head open. The poor little pumpkin wasn't expecting a to be carted off to hospital in such a state! Thankfully, his wound wasn't actually half as bad as it looked and after having it glued, he was happily playing again whilst being under observation for a few hours.
As his mother, I wasn't expecting to find it so hard to be strong just when he needed me most. I remember scooping him into my arms as we hurried to the car to drive him up to hospital. My hands were shaking with worry and all I could think was 'Daddy is two hours away on a business trip and has no phone signal!' Honestly, it could have been a nightmare situation but I was so lucky to be surrounded by family that day and Grandma stuck with us for hours in the hospital until Eddy was finally able to join us.
The events of last week compelled me to be thankful for my motherhood. By no means was it an easy one to get through but I feel stronger for it. In those moments when your child needs you the most, you glimpse the power of the bond you share. It's not always on full display in the craziness of the day to day, but when you do see it, it's pretty surreal.
Charlotte (TheHomeThatMadeMe) and I have so enjoyed seeing our community of #RaisingThoseRascals grow this week! Thank you all so much for taking part! For any one who missed out on last week's introduction, Charlotte and I are trying to use our social media to portray to you all the realities of motherhood and parenting. We have both felt pressure from the 'picture perfect' world of Instagram that can paint a deceptive picture of parenting, sometimes leaving us feeling as though we aren't doing enough, aren't good enough parents, cultured enough...or enough full stop.
Instagram has some fabulous communities and to counter the various pressures that we all feel from time to time, we wanted to create a platform where parents can just be real with each other about everything parenting encompasses. Warts and all!
Each week Charlotte and I are going to be featuring some of our favourite images from the hashtag over on our blogs. I felt totally spoilt for choice this week, so thank you for sharing your beautiful babies and family life! Below are some that really stood out to me:

Once again, thank you to everyone for sharing the highs and lows of family life this week. This is all about honest, authentic living and supporting each other through thick and thin!
I can't wait to see all your images in the next week so do keep them coming. Also, if you haven't seen Charlotte's post up on her blog this week, do head over here and have a read...She has also included her favourite Instagram photos too!

Electric Scooter Chinese Luyuan air of a 2.0 MBK booster electrical
Motorcycles and two thermal wheels are prohibited in Shenzhen so no motorbike or scooter in the street or on the road (except for the font: p).
Actually yes and no because this ban to happen for a new generation of electric and China seems well ahead of this.
If you can not count the number of two-wheel electric vehicles in Chinese cities, their crazy growth in the set limits.
– We do not roll on the road (well, usually) but on the sidewalk that are very suitable (large, bike path, not walk … ..)
Scooter, motorcycle or bicycle with electric assistance
If the legislation is designed to limit the proliferation therefore we do not see electric motorcycle and electric scooters few (not really allowed, but you see them everywhere, and increasingly, it is China: D)
In short, the tolerance is not 0 but well above (well for a Chinese), because if I'm looking for electrical purchase, and as Foreigner, I spend less than an army of Chinese incognito bikers.
Farewell beautiful electric scooter that reminds me Booster or BW's of my youth, I'm going to point me to an electric bike which will be discussed later.
Let's talk about Luyuan MPA-B4820
Good at first glance it is stylish with its large tires.
LED headlamps, engine lock with magnetic code, disc brakes, aluminum wheels, digital meter, parking brake, hydraulic fork, tubeless tire, in short we are at Audi or BMW!
Autonomy (because that is the question) you will ask me, technically between 45 and 50km.
But be careful not pedal so once dry it will find an outlet (like Starbuck in the corner lol) or play stroller.
We will not go into detail unless Mr Luyuan wants us to do the test video but we can give you the price:
¥ 3,750.00 or € 469 ht in China for the Chinese

JT Geek YouTube channel soon 20,000 Subscribers PEP Geek
And here the joke takes another turn because after trying the challenge of Blogger Joker High-tech, linking movies test, reviews or High-tech / smartphone presentations with a little humor, geek Chain JT prepares to reach a new milestone of 20,000 subscribers or 20k Chef.
If I had a boss say to him that the curve is stable and growing with between 18 (on a good day) and 48 (when it rains) new subscribers per day, every day (the small hollow on the right is the August 15 ^^), the 20k will be a brief formality Chef and if last year I was happy to have 5 subscribers per day, some thirty day seem more appropriate these days.
Adding videos in English may be is not much but contribute because if these videos are not "yet" a lot of hearing and forcing unless my videos French, they have a number of views our videos last year and could therefore follow the same curve (sight and new subscribers) >> and that's good
The Englishman will have been a good idea to give me more work in free time that I have even more limited, but will also open the floodgates of JT Geek and "broaden its catchment area leader" . Geek Jt incidentally is also translated into English on the Jtgeek.net by our friend Franck 😉
20k it's been great fun so it "Roxe of the panda" and it will change nothing, or very little because if I put my head in testing, or a piece of my mind live streaming (It's complicated, this is normal that it should make Geek) the format must remain intact and constant (even if you go to try some new formats meantime lol)
You love me or hate me, you like it or you do not understand my way of doing my tests, my presentations, I was fed up and take my foot to clown in front of the camera secretly being connected on a three-phase 380V outlet with red Bull intravenous, it will remain a constant that many come to see my tests kiffer discover or criticize (even those where they subscribe to not miss the opportunity to come and tell it sucks) then Welcome to the family of JT Chin'addict geek and thank you to all talk of JT geek (good or bad) as the family continues to grow, and for that i like you 😉
And to paraphrase the American Phylosophe Christian Audigier, "Let me talk about bad or good, the important thing is to talk to me"

China business idea the output of the Airport
If business ideas seem tough to have, there are some that always surprise me.
If the black cab is a constant in the descent of an aircraft from Shenzhen to Paris, there are new and emerging related to new restrictions that are well regarded, well found and thus relayed here.
So yesterday, getting off the plane in Shenzhen and 10 after dodging requests for "Taxi," "Taxi" "Taxi" "Taxi" "Taxi" "Taxi" "Taxi" "…… Two requests from people wanting to sell me Shenzhen plans (Ah that's not stupid at a plane out) I see myself accosted by two mamasan wanting to sell me lighters!
Lighters, but yes here is an idea that it is good
I am not a smoker but I did notice that we could not get on a plane with a lighter, trash management control and therefore the passenger point of St Briquet, god of magic light at the end of the plane when our dear addicts will constantly than to toast a once the airplane.
And reaches out to you the magic amulet, the sacred ring that will allow your Controller spasms and your need for nicotine as a cigarette lighter without it is a bit of a geek without smartphones …
The story does not say if they are the same lighters before you threw at the outset that you would sell to return, because in this case it would be as environmentally friendly
In short, not sure it works in France as business sellers want to sell you this € 50 (yes sir I have fees), or Marseille starts knives, tear gas or weapons of war also prohibited flight, but I believe (though it's funny how business idea too)

Chinese Android tablets on airplanes intra China
On returning in an intra-China air this weekend in seeing a horde of djeune's all with mini bars that I say …… .. "oh how times have changed" ..
Well no, I was not in the presence of a tribe of son of capitalists because these mini tablets are available in each seat between a catalog full of ads and a bag too small paper to put a full meal. (Local Company, economic siege, no business class tickets as too small ^^)
Yes I leave my country but every seat will be a mini Android tablet Ipad screen with Android Inside.
But Android is locked with some promotional pages, products of the airline and some games that will better their effects related to the surprise of the fact that we do not expect it.
This Chinese Tablet Made in China for China is flying like aluminum cube with Micro SD slot, micro USB, a little scratched and works quite well in relation to what is asked. No wifi or adjustments or access to Android kernel, again I had nothing planned for the root 🙂
Security checkpoint at the exit of the plane but a certainty that in other countries, these tablets would not have survived several Return Intra wall. (I leave you to your prejudices or your suspicions)
Another country, another manners, but as what …

Voting: Robotics & NPS
17 November 2016
At today's meeting of the LIBE committee held a successful vote on the reports, which I am rapporteur.
The vote on the… report on the legal highs:
Held a vote of the report on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EC) No 1920/2006 as regards the exchange of information, early warning system and the risk assessment procedure for new psychoactive substances. These changes are aimed at improving the analysis and risk assessment relating to the so-called. afterburners, and thus provide better protection against the harmful effects of their use.
The vote on the opinion on the development of robotics in the EU:
There was also a vote opinion with recommendations to the European Commission on civil law relating to robotics. The opinion contains a series of recommendations on the protection of fundamental rights, in particular the protection of personal data and privacy, data security and data flows, for the development of robotics and artificial intelligence.

Opened in 1996 as a house museum, in 2002 it transitioned into a public house museum and art gallery. In the artists' charming former home, garden and studio, the sculptures, drawings, paintings and decorative arts tell the story of their creative lives in Vienna, Singapore and Melbourne. The museum offers the opportunity to explore and enjoy fine art in an authentic domestic setting – an inspiring and rare privilege. A gallery space was added to the original house so that changing exhibitions could be mounted. Within the house, a number of rooms are maintained as they were during the family's residence. Karl's original studio, with kiln, tools and work across all periods has been kept as it was left by the artist, and in the adjoining garden the bronze and terracotta sculptures also remain in situ. There are also fantastic documents and three original prototypes of the improved foldable umbrella for which Slawa was granted a patent in 1929 and was exhibited at the 1931 Vienna Spring Fair. The museum houses an extensive collection of art, decorative art and archival material concerning the artists' life and work and was set up to care for, give public access to and educate about the collection. It also aims to 'inspire creative journeys', using the Duldig story of resilience in the face of great personal obstacles and their lifelong creativity to encourage similar creative journeys for others. The experience of visiting the museum and seeing and understanding Karl and Slawa's stories, and the extraordinary body of work displayed is unique and inspirational, for visitors of all ages. Opening hours: Tuesdays, Thursdays and second Saturday of each month 1-3pm, with guided tours at 2pm. Entry fee is $20 full fee and $10 for concessions.

AsianDate Casual Relationship App On The App Retailer
In this article you will find out about a brand new trend in web relationship which sees males searching for lonely older girls for casual encounters. Personally I believe that as men, we're far more jealous, particularly sexually, and when a lady that you just like, and even gasp love, hooks up with one other man, and even just flirts with him – that shit will sting. Regardless, of whether you might be in a dedicated relationship or an informal dating" relationship, there's a good chance you're or will be having sex.
It is very important notice that informal relationship" can lead to unfulfilled romantic feelings. So earlier than you start searching for casual relationships ask your self, are you really okay with the ladies you date going out and potentially sleeping with different guys?
Even informal relationships have rules on learn how to finish them. N.E.C.A. individuals are often profoundly in love but when they do not utter the phrases, the relationship stays put (or goes the way of the dodo) and no one has to make massive selections. Nevertheless others, whereas expressing their ease in regard to relationship a number of companions, have been more conservative in their views on the subject of having sex, relating to this as a no-no until exclusivity has been established.
02. Issues just won't keep informal if you're only dating one individual. Treat your informal relationship associate with respect. A casual relationship relationship is all about having fun with new experiences with somebody new in your life. A casual relationship is typically referred to as a "no strings hooked up" relationship.
We didn't lie concerning the other individuals we had been seeing, though we didn't flaunt our other relationships or sexual encounters. And that decision shall be rather a lot harder to make when you don't know what dating or a romantic relationship even entails.

Farm Bill; Ag Economy; Regulations; Senate; and, CFTC
Farm Bill
Gannett writer Christopher Doering reported earlier this week that, "The House Agriculture Committee has not decided when it will begin the arduous task of crafting a new farm bill, the head of the panel said Wednesday.
"Rep. Frank Lucas, R- Okla., said there are a lot of moving parts that are delaying action by the committee."
"Collin Peterson of Minnesota, the top Democrat on the House Agriculture Committee, said lawmakers representing rural areas need to first see how they fare in the budget discussions," the article said.
Mr. Doering noted that, "Peterson said the divide over the scope of cuts to nutrition programs, widely blamed last year for derailing hopes of passing a new farm law, was overblown. Republicans, he said, merely used it as a reason to give the public to explain why the bill was being delayed… [F]or now, Peterson said the committee is looking for guidance from House and Senate leaders as to how big the cuts to nutrition programs should be. 'We have a list of changes that can be made to reduce the food stamp budget, so all we need is a number,' said Peterson."
Senator Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa) was a guest on yesterday's AgriTalk radio program where he addressed Farm Bill issues.
AgriTalk producer John Herath asked Sen. Grassley about potential changes that could be made to the Farm Bill that passed the Senate last year (audio clip (MP3- 0:54)); and also on yesterday's program, Sen. Grassley indicated how important the crop insurance program was to producers in Iowa (audio clip (MP3- 0:30)).
In a tele-conference with reporters yesterday, Senator Mike Johanns (R., Neb.) was asked about crop insurance and provided this perspective and explanation with respect to the program: "I took over as Secretary of Agriculture at a time when we had a philosophy of farm policy that was basically based on subsidy and if you were below a target price, you got paid a certain level of — of money because of that.
"I can remember during Hurricane Katrina when the price dropped. We paid out about $4 billion almost overnight. I can point to the year 2000 where that farm policy paid out about $30 billion.
"We have moved away from that with our new farm bill. We have moved more to a market based approach and a risk management approach. And the reality is, across the entire Corn Belt, we had very, very dry conditions last year and it had an impact and so you're going to have payments made under the crop insurance program."
Sen. Johanns pointed out that, "But I will tell you that was — that is a far better situation than what we saw, you know, ten, 12 years ago when the payments were just astronomical. We are headed in the right direction here and I just firmly believe that we need to get a farm bill passed because the other piece of this that will disappear with the new farm bill is the direct payments and that is a significant savings over time.
"The other thing I would mention about the bill that Senator Reid introduced, number one, it sends a positive signal that he's open to looking at another farm bill and giving it the floor time necessary to get it passed.
"I believe we can get a farm bill out of the Senate and I do believe that at end of the day, that farm bill is going to save somewhere around $25 billion. I believe the House version will save somewhere in that vicinity, maybe more."
In other Farm Bill news, the AP reported yesterday (unable to determine specific author) that, "An upstate New York school district is opting out of the National School Lunch Program as students throw out fruits and vegetables required under new nutritional guidelines.
"The Niskayuna Central School District near Albany plans to opt out April 1. Officials in the suburban district say the number of students buying lunch dropped significantly this year and the program is running a $70,000 deficit.
"The U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines this school year set limits on calories, phase in more whole grains and require schools to serve vegetables or fruit. Praised by anti-obesity activists, they've been panned by some students and some other schools across the country have dropped out."
And in budget related developments and the Farm Bill, an update yesterday at the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC) Blog noted in part that, "Then there is the matter of the looming $85 billion in automatic budget cuts scheduled to trigger on March 1. In the past few days, as the new reality of a postponed debt ceiling showdown – with or without a joint budget resolution – has taken hold, many prominent members of Congress on both sides of the aisle have started talking about the inevitability of the automatic sequestration cuts actually being allowed to kick in. Three schools of thought seemed to be emerging – some would try to stop it, some would allow the cuts to go into effect from March through May (ultimately to be replaced by a new budget deal), and some would allow the cuts to go into effect permanently. It may take weeks before this precarious situation begins to sort itself out.
"As we have reported previously, the sequester, if allowed to occur, would take a roughly $4 billion bite out of the farm bill commodity title baseline and a roughly $2 billion bite out of the farm bill conservation title baseline, with SNAP and crop insurance, the two biggest farm bill spending items, spared from any cuts. A five-year farm bill written after sequestration takes effect would thus start over $6 billion in the hole on the two major titles of the bill where significant cuts were already assumed in the farm bills that were pending last year."
Yesterday's NSAC update also pointed out that, "While all these interrelated budget dramas play themselves out, it is probably safe to assume that any real action on either a new five-year farm bill or on the Fiscal Year 2014 agricultural appropriations act is now effectively off until sometime after the May budget resolution and debt ceiling showdown.
"On a potentially positive note, with major congressional action on budget matters on tap for February (sequestration bill) and March (spending bill), the leaders of the Agriculture Committees could lead the charge to use one of these legislative vehicles to correct the farm bill extension slapped together without their participation during the last two days of 2012."
Meanwhile, Daniel Looker reported yesterday at Agriculture Online that, "Just when it seems that some of President Barack Obama's Cabinet members are leaving, exhausted or frustrated, Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack welcomes staying on for a second term, undaunted by the challenges of running one of the federal government's largest departments with a 12% smaller budget and a Congress still stymied over the farm bill.
"In an interview with Agriculture.com Thursday, Vilsack sounded optimistic about chances to offer better service to farmers and to re-energize a rural America that is losing influence in Congress and understanding with the public. Like a latter day Horace Greeley, the former small town Iowa lawyer who became the state's governor urges young people not to go West, but rural.
"'Too often the message that we convey to our young people is how difficult and challenging things are in rural America,' Vilsack said, 'and certainly they are, but there is unlimited future in rural America to meet the moral challenge of our time, to feed not only hungry Americans but those who hunger around the world. It's the opportunity for us to respond to a more severe weather conditions and climate change. Most of that's going to be done in rural America in terms of absorbing carbon and doing our part. It's about meeting the enormous opportunities that the biobased economy creates where we literally can make virtually everything we need in an economy — from chemicals and fuels and energy to plastics to fibers to fabrics from what we grow, what we raise. It just opens up a whole new vista if you will, for opportunity in rural areas.'"
Mr. Looker also noted that, "Vilsack had hoped that a farm bill could be included with the fiscal cliff legislation what was passed on January 1. Instead, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who negotiated with Vice President Joe Biden over the bill, extended the 2008 Farm Bill. In the final hours, Stabenow and other ag committee leaders tried to at least get disaster assistance for livestock producers and tree crop producers some energy and expiring conservation programs included in an extension, as well as a new dairy program. McConnell rejected that approach.
"When asked if he had a chance to weigh in with Biden over the last minute deal, Vilsack said Thursday:
"'At the end of the day, decisions are made, but if the question is, did we encourage the Congress and the White House to look at this as an opportunity to get the farm bill done? Absolutely, but recognizing the difficulties when the Speaker of the House [John Beohner] was not interested in having it included in the package, there's not a whole lot you can do, right? And especially when you're facing milk prices potentially doubling or tripling for consumers, there was, I think, a real desire to avoid that very unfortunate consequence of inaction. Now would I have preferred to have specialty crops and disaster assistance, absolutely, but the speaker was not interested in a full blown farm bill being attached to the fiscal cliff resolution, temporary resolution. Fair enough. That's done. Can't cry over spilled milk here, we've got to focus on 2013 and we've got to work with our friends in Congress and get this done.'"
Agricultural Economy
A news release yesterday from Purdue University indicated that, "Turbulence that has shaken the dairy industry the past few years could subside in the second half of this year if feed prices fall or at least stabilize, a Purdue Extension dairy specialist says.
"Although the first part of 2013 likely will be stressful for producers, Mike Schutz said those who hold on should benefit from a relatively neutral economic outlook for the remainder of the year."
Yesterday's update noted that, "'The dairy industry is highly dependent on what happens with feed prices,' he said. 'We're hopeful that feed prices will be reduced or stabilize with the planting of the 2013 crop, which will also hopefully help producers get back to approaching at least break-even or somewhat profitable prices.'
"The 2012 drought hit the dairy industry hard by decreasing availability of feed while also increasing feed prices. Most dairy producers grow their own forages, but with drought-induced short supplies, many had to buy expensive forage from other growers."
Meanwhile, Bloomberg writer Brian Wingfield reported earlier this week that, "A section of the Mississippi River shrunken by the worst U.S. drought in 70 years will remain navigable through Feb. 20, with the channel near St. Louis at least 10 feet deep, according to the National Weather Service."
In other news, Vicki Needham reported yesterday at The Hill's On the Money Blog that, "Facing an ambitious trade agenda, lawmakers and businesses leaders are once again pressing Congress to renew trade promotion authority before the end of the year.
"The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and several senators on Thursday said talks must get started to restore the White House's authority to negotiate free-trade agreements so Congress can pass them quickly."
And, a news release yesterday from Sen. Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa) stated that, "Senators Chuck Grassley, Pat Roberts, Mike Enzi and John Thune are working to make agriculture a priority in discussions between the United States and European Union trade negotiators.
"In a letter to Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus, the senators asked for a hearing with U.S. trade negotiators to better understand their working-group efforts with European Union officials."
Pete Kasperowicz reported yesterday at The Hill's Floor Action Blog that, "Rep. Todd Young (R-Ind.) and more than 100 other House Republicans want another shot at giving Congress a say over major Executive Branch regulations that have a $100 million impact on the economy.
"These members proposed a new version of the Regulations from the Executive In Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act on Wednesday. The REINS Act was one of the GOP leadership's high-priority bills in the last Congress, and it passed in a December 2011 vote that saw every Republican support it along with four Democrats."
The Hill update added that, "Under the bill, H.R. 367, any rule with an economic impact of more than $100 million would be designated a major rule, and would have to be approved by Congress.
"But just as it was in the last Congress, the obstacle the bill faces in the 113th is the Senate. After the House approved the REINS Act in late 2011, the Senate never considered it on the floor, and never held a hearing on it."
Ben Goad reported earlier this week at The Hill's RegWatch Blog that, "Sen. David Vitter on Wednesday accused the White House of concealing the president's regulatory agenda, and demanded information from the Obama administration's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA.)
"Vitter (La.), the top Republican on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, issued a scathing statement, along with a missive to outgoing EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson questioning whether the agency missed deadlines for submitting its rulemaking plans."
And Ben Geman reported yesterday at The Hill's Energy Blog that, "House Republicans are threatening 'formal action' against the Environmental Protection Agency unless the agency hands over records about Administrator Lisa Jackson's use of a secondary government email account."
Senate- Filibuster Modification
Paul Kane reported in today's Washington Post that, "The Senate approved a deal Thursday that will keep the chamber's long-standing 60-vote threshold for halting a filibuster but streamline some of the chamber's more cumbersome procedures.
"Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), largely accepting the recommendations from a bipartisan team of senior senators, won broad bipartisan support for a package of reforms that will streamline operations but leave intact rules that give the minority more rights than any other legislative body in the world."
Mr. Kane noted that, "'I'm not personally, at this stage, ready to get rid of the 60-vote threshold,' Reid said in an interview Thursday with The Washington Post's Wonkblog. 'With the history of the Senate, we have to understand the Senate isn't and shouldn't be like the House.'
"The compromise averted the Democratic majority's threat to change the Senate's substantive rules on a party-line vote, an action that would have broken new ground, as the chamber's long-standing precedents call for a two-thirds majority to change the rules. Republicans warned that such a move by Reid, which they called a 'nuclear option,' would have soured bipartisan talks on pending budget and debt legislation. The proposal passed on two separate votes — 78 to 16 and 86 to 9 — that implemented the new rules."
CFTC – Commodity Futures Trading Commission
Bloomberg writer Silla Brush reported yesterday that, "Jill E. Sommers, one of two Republican members of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, plans to resign from the country's top derivatives regulator after the first quarter of this year.
"'I've come to this decision after thinking about it and internally struggling about it for months,' Sommers, who has been a CFTC commissioner for five years, said yesterday in a telephone interview. 'This has not been an abrupt decision.'
"The five-member CFTC has spent more than two years writing Dodd-Frank Act rules to bolster oversight of the $639 trillion swaps market and the futures industry after a shortfall in customer funds at failed brokerage MF Global Holdings Ltd. The agency is preparing to complete rules governing trading platforms after finishing rules for data reporting and reducing risk by having trades guaranteed at clearinghouses."

why the *hell* is Michael Musto talking to Huffington Post?
Unless you're in deep with NYC media, you may not know who Michael Musto is. He's been writing a bitchy gabfest of a gossip colum in The Village Voice for the past 30 years. I'm not a fan, but clearly plenty of folks love him, and there's no question that he's a New York institution. He's basically been blogging since long before anyone had ever heard the word blog.
And the Voice just laid him off. Because money. The Voice is now hiring writers for salaries not specified. Which means "as cheap as we can get 'em."
And then I read this today:
Michael Musto, who was laid off from the Village Voice last week, tells HuffPost Live
And it doesn't matter what Musto said. What matters is that he said to Huffington Post, the piece-of-shit scumbag site that bears a huge part of the blame for devaluing the work of writers — by, for instance, not paying writers yet somehow managing to convince writers that it's in their best interests to give their work away.
It's precisely because of sites like HuffPOS that content has been devalued and writers like Musto find themselves considered expendable. So what in the actual fuck is Musto doing supporting them by speaking via them?
I'm no fan of Musto's, so I'm not taking umbrage on his behalf. I'm taking umbrage on behalf all the writers who know how damaging HuffPOS is and don't want to see it get any support from writers.
Musto should know better.
Read more about Musto and HuffPOS at the site of media blogger Jim Romenesko, who is one of the good guys.

Saint Albert lived during the 13th century and was born in Lauingen, Germany during the reign of Emperor Frederick II. Saint Albert's father was a military lord in the army at that time.
Saint Albert attended the University of Padua and met Blessed Jordan of Saxony. Blessed Jordan traveled throughout Europe visiting universities and enlisting promising men to join the Dominicans.
Saint Albert Joins the Dominicans
Albert joined the monastery and became a teacher. He gave lectures in theology in 1241 at the University of Paris. The Dominicans assigned Saint Albert to form a learning center in Cologne for the monks of the order. He brought together many new theologians of the time, including, St. Thomas Aquinas to be his students.
Saint Albert the Great was made Bishop of Regensberg in 1260. Three years later, he became the papal advisor and traveling diplomat. After resigning his position in Cologne in 1274, he participated in the Council of Lyons. Even as an old man he traveled to Paris to help defend one of his prized pupils, Thomas Aquinas.
At the right is a picture of St. Albert. It is a fresco entitled, "Albertus Magnus" by Tommaso da Modena – 1352.
While Saint Albert was in Cologne, he became a renowned scientist. He experimented in chemistry and physics, horticulture, studied insects, and chemical compounds. He made significant contributions to education and theology.
Saint Albert grew to be a very old man, dying in Cologne on November 15, 1280. He was buried in Cologne at St. Andrea's Church. Pope Pius XI canonized him a saint and a Doctor of the Church in 1931.
Because of his many contributions to science, Saint Albert was named the Patron Saint of Scientists. Many Christians wear a Saint Albert medal to encourage them to pursue their studies with the enthusiasm of St. Albert. A St. Albert necklace is a popular gift for students who are entering colleges and universities as a reminder of the importance of knowledge for both science and religion.

Weinhof Synagogue; ksg Architects
The Weinhof Synagogue designed by Kister Scheithauer Gross Architekten was built for the Jewish community of Ulm, Germany. Functioning as a synagogue and community center, the beautiful white stone structure features a large window incased in a Star of David motif facing the direction of Jerusalem.
In 2009, the Israelite Religious Community in Wurttemberg decided to build a new synagogue for its orthodox community in Ulm and, together within the city of Ulm, initiated a competition. The city placed the building site in the middle of Weinhof, just a stone's throw from the former synagogue, which was destroyed during Kristallnacht.
The cuboid structure is 24 meters wide, 16 deep and 17 meters high much lower than nearby Schworhaus and shorter than initially planned, fitting like a glove into its surroundings without detracting from its unique character. The rooms are arranged orthogonally. Only the synagogue follows the line of the only, free-standing support in the building, in a diagonal direction pointing towards Jerusalem. The Star of David window in the sacral room contains 600 openings, illuminated from many points, with the focal point being the liturgical centerpiece; the Torah shrine. The prayer room offers space for 125 people, including 40 spaces in the women's gallery.

The PPCs and CCs are located near to the farms and would be spread across the region from where the main raw materials for the Mega Food Park are targeted.
The raw material base for the Mega Food Park would extend over an area around Palakkad including the districts of Wayanad, Kannur, Kozhikode, Malappuram, Thrissur and Ernakulum.

In the summer of 1998, Randy Pye, John Brackney, Brian Vogt, Ed Bosier and Pete Ross gathered at a pancake house to consider the advantages of incorporating the City of Centennial. They established a volunteer organization known as the Arapahoe Citizens for Self -Determination and an incorporation steering committee that filed a petition in the District Court in October 1998 requesting an election to determine whether the City of Centennial should be formed. The District Court conducted hearings and determined the petition was invalid. The volunteers corrected the petition and on December 12, 1998, in six hours obtained more than 2,500 signatures on a second petition known as the "Centennial Petition".
While the Centennial Petition was pending in District Court, House Bill 99-1099 was drafted and introduced in the Colorado Legislature to clarify existing law that established a priority for forming large cities, such as Centennial, over smaller competing municipal annexations. House Bill 99-1099 passed out of the Colorado House of Representatives without a single dissenting vote, and out of the Colorado Senate with only six dissenting votes. This Bill was the first piece of legislation signed into law by Governor Bill Owens on February 1, 1999.
On April 8, 1999 the District Court found the Centennial Petition to be valid and to take priority over competing annexation proposals and ordered an election on whether Centennial should be incorporated but interveners in the District Court case appealed the ruling. The Colorado Court of Appeals transferred the Centennial case directly to the Colorado Supreme Court for determination. The Colorado Supreme Court held oral arguments on May 3, 2000 where the Centennial volunteers once again turned out in mass to support the principles of self determination and the formation of Centennial. The Colorado Supreme Court in a unanimous opinion announced July 21, 2000, that an election should take place to determine if the City of Centennial should be formed.
The volunteer Election Commission for Centennial was appointed, and convened and scheduled an election for September 12, 2000 to determine if the voters within in Centennial wished to form a city. On September 12, 2000, 77% of voters approved the formation of the City of Centennial.
On February 7, 2001, the City of Centennial was legally established as a Colorado City.
In 2001, Centennial was incorporated as a statutory city, governed by state laws. On November 6, 2007, the citizens of Centennial elected 21 Home Rule Charter Commissioners to draft a Home Rule Charter in 120 days. On June 10, 2008, the citizens of Centennial voted to approve a Home Rule Charter by a large margin. Home Rule makes it possible for local governments to have control over local matters of local concern, including sales tax collection and audit. The approved charter serves as a "constitution" for the City. Read the Home Rule Charter.
To celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the City of Centennial, the City asked 3rd grade students to draw a picture to illustrate "What Centennial means to you."
On April 27, 2012 Centennial Center Park was officially opened. The City's first Park includes water features, an amphitheater, climbing walls, picnic shelters and educational elements. On August 8, 2012 the City and Governor John Hickenlooper co-hosted a celebration of Colorado's Olympians, featuring Centennial resident and gold-medal swimmer Missy Franklin.
During the fall of 2012 Centennial Center Park received the Colorado Lottery's Starburst Award and in 2013 the Park received the Denver Regional Council of Government's Live, Work, Play Award.

Caveat the First: I was not at Pantheacon. Instead, I lost five pounds in 24 hours due to food poisoning.
Caveat the Second: I do not self-identify as pagan.
Apparently, there was a public ritual held there, specified as being for cis-women only. And a silent protest ensued.
Oh, how this makes me itch in funny places. I know all too well about being excluded by those who consider themselves also excluded. And it leaves me sad, tired, and not a little bit bitter. Granted, my issues fall along disability, rather than gender, lines. But I cannot help but wince a bit at this.
As I've mentioned before, I once had a middle-aged transvestite man point and laugh at my visible disability. And I was gobsmacked that somebody who has likely been harshly judged for their external presentation did not see a problem with harshly judging how I present. Compounded by the fact that this happened at a science fiction convention — a space that itself purports to not only be inclusive, but a haven for those excluded by majority culture.
I've seen statements that people need to "toughen up" and not be so sensitive about this. For myself, that's about three steps away from being told it is my job to be a poster child for disability or chronic pain. And if you don't know my thoughts on that by now, you need to go back and read this blog from the beginning.
When I am simultaneously told that X space is a big tent, yet that I need to stand outside because there's no room for me, it leaves me sad, tired, and not a little bit bitter and confused. When it comes from people who simultaneously trumpet about how they are excluded by mainstream society, this only compounds it.
And I just don't understand it. Seriously, use small words. Make me smart. Because…I'm at a loss to understand how a space claiming to be inclusive is OK with excluding.
