The imperfections of old-age pension insurance in Lithuania and possible solutions
The latest crisis in the Lithuanian social insurance system began in the fourth quarter of 2008. The system that had been fully and successfully functioning since 2002 again entered a recession phase. The decline promoted a public debate on the measures necessary for preventing similar events in the future. The authors of the present article analyse and discuss the major external threats, shocks and disturbances that caused the failures of the social insurance system in 2008 and 2009. The article concludes with a suggestion for ensuring long-term financial sustainability of the old-age pension system and for solving the population decline problem. The paper proposes a mixed pension-funding principle, the novelty of which lies in the direct contribution of children to their parents' pensions.

The cold snap has broken. And now, before being cooped up inside causes you to get into a kerfuffle with your mate, consider setting out on an international holiday. If the Sixers can hop across the pond for a game against the Celtics, why can't you do something similar?
You don't even need a passport to do it. This month brings the Philadelphia Orchestra's annual Winter Festival, which for 2018 draws its inspiration from the British Isles (select dates through Jan. 26). To coincide with it, we've put together a guide that invites you travel across waters and experience a taste of Britain — without ever stepping foot outside our own City of Brotherly Love.
From cozy pubs to an afternoon tea room to dapper shopping spots, there's a wealth of ways to get your Brit on here in Philadelphia.
First things first, book tickets to the Philadelphia Orchestra's Winter Festival, as seats tend to fill up quickly for these stationary trips abroad. Nine musical performances will unfold during the next three weeks at the Kimmel Center featuring notable composers like Haydn, Handel, and Beethoven — all inspired by UK locations, including Scotland and Ireland. Music director Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts the first two weeks, then hands off the baton to Fabio Luisi.
Through Jan. 26 at the Kimmel Center, $37-$116, 215-893-1999, philorch.org.
Nothing will make you feel more like a Brit than waking up with a plate full of baked beans and black pudding. On Saturdays and Sundays at the Dandelion, find these two classic English treats paired with eggs, Cumberland sausage, tomato, bacon, and fried bread. The hearty meal coupled with the crackling fireplace at the charming restaurant create a welcoming start for a weekend winter day.
Brunch served 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, English breakfast $16.50, other menu items from $6 (porridge) to $52 (a roast for two with Yorkshire pudding and all the fixings, Sundays only), 124 S. 18th St., 215-558-2500, thedandelionpub.com.
Center City is home to several British brands, including luxury-fashion-oriented Barbour and the more youthful Jack Wills, located just blocks from one another on Walnut Street. Start at Barbour, where you'll find a selection of barn-style jackets for both men and women along with an array of Oxford shirts for the chaps. Then head west to Jack Wills, where tweed blazers in a variety of colors await both men and women, alongside traditional Chelsea boots to finish your look.
Barbour, 1517 Walnut St., 215-255-8420, barbour.com. Jack Wills, 1617 Walnut St., 215-751-1055, jackwills.com.
Put on your new dapper outfit and head over to the Mary Cassatt Tea Room, located at the Rittenhouse Hotel. Tea time begins daily at 2 p.m., inviting you to temporarily escape from the hustle and bustle of life with a warm cup of Earl Grey, English breakfast, or one of the many other tea options. A selection of light bites crafted by the chef at Lacroix adds to the experience, allowing you to sample tea sandwiches, fresh baked scones, elegant sweets. The $55 price includes a glass of sparkling wine — or upgrade to a glass of true champagne with an $80 package.
Philadelphia, of course, has some of the most prominent sites from our nation's battle for independence from Britain, including Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell at Independence National Historical Park. Park rangers at both locations have a multitude of enthralling stories to enhance your knowledge of the mother country at this transformational time in history. Loyalists might enjoy the towering statue of King George at the nearby Museum of the American Revolution. It's part of a historical vignette showing the monument's final moment of glory, just before some wretched colonists pulled the monarch down.
Independence National Historical Park, Visitor Center at 6th and Market Streets, most sites free, 215-965-2305, nps.gov/inde. Museum of the American Revolution, 101 S. 3rd St., $12-$19 (2-day admission, children under 6 free), 215-253-6731, amrevmuseum.org.
Known as football across the pond, it's wildly popular in the UK, where teams like Arsenal, Manchester United, and Chelsea garner a massive following of fans who take to the pubs each week (and often multiple times per week) to watch. So where can you catch a game in Philly? Spots regularly airing the sport include Fado Irish Pub and Restaurant, the Seven Hundred, Tavern on Broad, Tir na Nog, Misconduct Tavern, and more. Many bars support specific clubs so if you have a favorite team, call around to figure out where your fellow fans will be.
Fado, 1500 Locust St.; Seven Hundred, 700 N. Second St.; Tavern on Broad, 200 S. Broad St.; Tir na Nog, 1600 Arch St.; Misconduct Tavern, 1511 Locust St.
The quintessentially British meal has been around since the mid-19th century and remains a proud part of British culture. In Philly, you'll find the fried fish and potato pairing as a regular item on the menu at places including the Olde Bar, Victoria Freehouse, the Dandelion, and Memphis Taproom. To enjoy the meal like a real Brit, be sure to douse your chips in a side of vinegar before consuming.
Olde Bar, 125 Walnut St.; Victoria Freehouse, 10 S. Front St.; Dandelion, 124 S. 18th St.; Memphis Taproom, 2331 E. Cumberland St.
Gather some friends, order a pint, and settle in at your favorite neighborhood watering hole. The British pub is an everlasting part of that region's cultural fabric, viewed more as a gathering space than a place to simply get drunk. Leisurely lingering is encouraged, and we recommend you set some time to do just that. For a truly homey, pub-like atmosphere in Philadelphia, consider the Dandelion, Victoria Freehouse, Fountain Porter, the Cambridge, Devil's Den, and the Black Sheep Pub, just to name a few. At the Black Sheep, you can shoot darts Tuesday through Saturday.
Dandelion, 124 S. 18th St.; Victoria Freehouse, 10 S. Front St.; Fountain Porter, 1601 S, 10th St.; the Cambridge, 1508 South St.; Devil's Den, 11th and Ellsworth St.; Black Sheep Pub, 247 S. 17th St.

Vina Robles RED4 Red Blend 2014
In stock
Region: Paso Robles, CA
Tasting Notes:
Cherry and plum - juniper berry - mocha spice - chewy tannins
RED4 showcases the structure of Petite Sirah, the spice and cherry qualities of Syrah, Grenache's forward fruit, and the rustic character of Mourvèdre. This intriguing, youthful wine is your perfect dinner companion.
This Paso blend is more delicious than the sum of its parts. It is made mainly of grape varieties from our prestigious Huerhuero Vineyard, located in the rolling hills of Paso Robles. Here, warm afternoons and cool evening breezes shepherd the grapes to perfect ripeness. The grapes were picked at cooler morning temperatures and cold soaked for two days prior to fermentation. Variable pump-over techniques were implemented during progressive stages of fermentation to enhance fruit extraction and balance out the tannin structure. The wine was then aged in both small and large format French, Eastern European and American oak barrels for 16 months in order to add complexity while enhancing a soft, velvety finish.

College of Medicine celebrates Tillman Scholar, Andrew Fisher
Being a doctor wasn't always Andrew Fisher's dream. He didn't grow up playing "doctor" and he didn't major in pre-med during undergrad like so many other medical students. In fact, Fisher took a winding road as his path to medical school. But it's a path of discovery and selfless service that has already improved the lives of many both in and out of the United States Army.
In 1992, Andrew Fisher was working in a low skill, minimum wage job, when a friend bet him he wouldn't join the Army and become an Army Ranger. So Fisher found an Army recruiter and joined shortly after. Sounds like a pretty simple story, but like all things with Andrew Fisher—there's more to it.
When he was a child, he watched as his uncle and brother joined the armed forces, and he always thought that he would eventually join too. "I always knew I wanted to serve, it just so happens that I needed a little push to get me there," he said.
The Army was a perfect fit for him, and it didn't take long for him to graduate from the Regimental Indoctrination Program and the selection course for the 75th Ranger Regiment.
"I never really performed well in school and I never felt like a standout in anything when I was growing up," Fisher said. "But when I joined the Army I got a little taste of success. The confidence I gained from graduating the RIP [Ranger Indoctrination Program] helped me a year later in Ranger school and pretty soon I realized I wasn't a slouch and had something to give back."
In 1995 he was selected to attend an EMT course and there he found that the science of medicine was not only interesting, but something he could excel in.
"It was a fantastic experience in the emergency room and on my ambulance rotations, I quickly found a great interest in trauma and acute care medicine," Fisher said. "It changed my whole attitude about life. It just 'clicked.'"
From there his career in medicine took him from Emergency Medical Services to physician assistant school.
One of Fisher's goals in becoming a physician is to help improve prehospital combat medicine. During his time on the frontlines for the Army, Fisher saw firsthand the importance of medical improvements in combat zones.
"It makes you want to do so much more—seeing someone, your friend, die," Fisher said. "It lights a fire in you to make a change, to not only help individuals through medicine, but entire groups of servicemen at the frontlines."
As a physician assistant in the Army, Fisher has already been involved in improving patient outcomes at the point of injury in the battlefield.
While assigned to a battalion, he began tracking data and learning about ketamine and its use for pain management and as a preventive for PTSD and chronic pain. In 2014 he published a small case series on the battalion's use of ketamine at the point of injury, which was the first data to be published on ketamine from the point of injury in combat. Since that time he's been working with physicians from around the Department of Defense (DOD) to not only look at ketamine, but pain management as a whole at the point of injury.
"If we can provide safe and effective pain management at the point of injury, we can help Veterans lead better, more productive lives instead of being scarred by PTSD and chronic pain," Fisher said.
For the last nine years he has served in the 75th Ranger Regiment. This unit has not suffered a preventable death during conflict since 2001. Meanwhile, the rest of the DOD maintains about a 24 percent preventable death rate. Command emphasis, incorporating medical training during most unit training, and training every Ranger to recognize and treat the three most common causes of preventable death has been the key to the success of the 75th Ranger Regiment.
But the preventable death rate of the DOD is troublesome to Fisher and others. There are several issues that can be identified, but not all issues are present in all units. Therefore, there is not one way to improve the preventable death rate, and teams of physicians, physician assistants and medics work on the problem. But for Fisher, it's a source of inspiration to become a physician and increase his capacity to help solve the issue.
"That drive to save lives is always pushing me to the next step," Fisher said. "I always want to know more. I know that as an MD with an excellent medical education I can to take the next step to saving more lives."
After earning an MD at the Texas A&M College of Medicine, Fisher will return to the Army to continue the work he has already started and take it to new heights.
"I chose A&M because it is steeped in military history and because the A&M College of Medicine is such a supporter of the military," Fisher said. "Not only were they created to help Veterans, but they actively seek military and other non-traditional students. I declined all other offers and interviews from other medical schools after I was offered a seat at Texas A&M. My mind was set."
In Fisher's road to discovering his own calling, he credits his wife, Danielle, as the real reason he's able to accomplish his goals.
"I couldn't have done this without her. She encouraged me throughout all the night classes to get my prerequisites, she inspired me to apply and take the MCAT, she's my driving force," Fisher said. "The application process is tough, but she pushed me through and we're doing all this together."
Leila Diaz, MA, MEd, assistant dean for admissions, said that Fisher is an outstanding addition to the College of Medicine and that the college was happy to be supportive during the application process while Fisher was deployed in Afghanistan.
"He's a true problem solver. In addition to becoming a wonderful physician, while he is here with us, he is shaping his class so that everyone's learning is enhanced—this is what produces excellence."

Ah, fall – time to ring in the start of college sports season both on the field and online. Athletic departments are getting creative with photos and videos across social media platforms to make sure fans in the stands are paying attention, whether they're focused on the action or the phones in their hands.
University of Maryland athletics shared a spin-off of James Corden's wildly popular Carpool Karaoke on Facebook featuring athletes from all of the university's fall sports teams. In just a few days, the video has garnered thousands of views and shares.
Meanwhile, over on Instagram, University of Tennessee's football team shared a stunning photo of the "Battle at Bristol," a matchup between the Vols and the Virginia Tech Hokies at Bristol Motor Speedway. Between the record-breaking crowd of nearly 157,000 fans (Bristol sits on the border of Tennessee and southwest Virginia, an easy trip for passionate fans from both schools) and the fanfare of playing a football game at a racetrack, the spectacle created the perfect photo op. (Check out our case study on the Vol Photo Store.)
And on Twitter, Purdue Athletics used time lapse video to celebrate the marching band's military-themed halftime show. The video is a creative way to use the iPhone's time lapse feature to share engaging content in real time. (Check out our case study with Purdue Athletics.)
The military-themed halftime show by @PurdueBands was AMAZING. Sad that we have to wait 2 weeks to see them again! https://t.co/w2s5ErLDKM

As college sports teams invest heavily in sharing photos and videos across platforms, they are increasingly relying on digital asset management (DAM) systems to manage their visual content. In 2016, 17.79% of college sports information directors surveyed by Libris and College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) said they use a professional DAM platform to organize their athletic department's images, compared to 11.42% in 2015. More than 200 colleges, universities, conferences and associations use Libris to manage their visual media libraries. At NACDA 2016, we asked team members from College Football Playoff, the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators (NACWAA), all Libris users, how DAM fuels their visual communications.
Spotlight on College Football Playoff
College Football Playoff's visual media library is packed with images of everything from the 2016 National Championship Game to the stadiums that will host future championships. In this video, Communications Coordinator Lauren Lanier shares how College Football Playoff uses DAM to centralize and easily access photos. Plus, she shares how the system will impact the team in Tampa in 2017.
7 Ways to Use DAM in College Sports
From organizing historical archives to making assets available to everyone on your team in real-time, DAM can revolutionize how your team works with photos and videos. In this video, check out 7 ways NAIA, NACWAA and their member organizations use Libris.

IT'S time for "an inclusive Asia Pacific where young people have all the needed capacities and opportunities to become resilient and face emerging challenges," was the call made by young activists from across Asia-Pacific at the Asia Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development (APFSD) on Thursday.
For years the UN has been touting the need to place young people at the centre of the sustainable development agenda. As the secretary-general himself has said, they are the first generation that could end poverty, and the last generation that can put an end to climate change. Their involvement is essential.
This week we saw the UN's pledge put into action with young activists from across the region present their recommendations to the United Nation's fifth APFSD in Bangkok. Among those in attendance were member states, UN agencies, multilateral organisations and Civil Society Organisations.
They came with a call for change and concrete recommendations of how to make it happen. These include calls for governments to prioritise investments in low-carbon renewable, efficient and clean energy infrastructure; ensure the compliance of the private sector with ethical, environmental and human rights guidelines; perform environmental and social impact assessments when designing and implementing energy projects; institutionalise active youth engagement, especially marginalised youth, at all levels of urban decision making; and ensure the implementation of minimum initial service package (MISP) to effectively respond to reproductive health needs at the onset of humanitarian crises.
SEE ALSO: It's time to start listening to the next generation, they're not messing around
These are just a handful of the recommendations put forward in the Asia-Pacific youth statement prepared at the two-day youth forum preceding the APFSD.
Organised by Malaysia based NGO, the Asian Pacific Resource and Research Centre for Women (ARROW), in partnership with YouthLEAD, and the Right Here Right Now partnership, the brainstorming and discussion session aimed at reviewing key Sustainable Development Goals that directly affect young people in the region.
Their input was informed by expertise from a whole range of backgrounds. Attendees included activists who have dedicated their efforts to involving young people in the many pressing issues affecting their generation, such as poverty, hunger, lack of health, education, water and sanitation, gender equality and violation of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR).
The statement was delivered to the room of foreign dignitaries by Reshma Thapa from Restless Development, an NGO working to make sure young people have a voice.
SEE ALSO: Not just a toilet: Access to public facilities can be a lifeline for many women
But Thapa was just one of the 65 activists in attendance at the youth forum. Collectively they understand the power of youth. Half the world is under 30 and nine in ten of these young people live in developing countries; this is the largest youth population there has ever been. As Restless Development puts it: "We are in an era of peak youth."
The largest number of young people globally live in Asia and the Pacific. According to UNESCAP, children and youth comprise 24 percent and 16 percent of the population respectively. Their involvement in current day decision making is essential if success is to be ensured. A sentiment very much recognised by those at the youth forum.
"Everyone says the youth are the future, but the future is uncertain," says Bindu Bhandari from environmental intergovernmental organisation International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD).
"I don't advocate for the future, I advocate for now. The youth are the present."

Delong America is pleased to announce that we will be at booth 617 at the 2016 TechConnect World Innovation Conference in Washigton, DC. The exhibits will be open May 23-24.
The LVEM5 is the only multi-modal desktop EM on the market. It is able to operate in transmission modes as a TEM and in scanning modes as a SEM or STEM. Users are able to obtain all three types of information from the same sample and even the same area of interest. The LVEM5 is also capable of preforming electron diffraction. The LVEM5 is capable of 1.2nm resolution in TEM mode and 3nm resolution in SEM mode, so you can see even your smallest of particles.
The new LVEM25 is the most powerful desktop electron microscope. The LVEM25's variable voltage (10-25kV) imaging capabilities make it a true competitor to a full sized TEM. The LVEM25 is able to work with biological and polymer thin sections that are prepared by standard procedures for conventional TEM with resolution of 1.0nm.
The LVEM5 benefits from a 5kv electron source that means that you can visualize light weight materials such as polymers or biological tissues without the need for heavy metal stains. This is a huge advantage for users who want to get a greater understanding of their materials, and not their stain.
We are looking forward to meeting with you at the conference.

For Richa Nagar, theater, theory, and pedagogy go hand in hand: theatre is a process through which the mind-body-soul learns to be simultaneously ethical, political, and aesthetical; it begins to understand theory as inseparable from movement; and it grapples with movement as learning that mobilizes the intellect, muscles, breath, and emotions of the individual in conversation with the collective. Richa's explorations with Tarun Kumar in the realm of theatre have led to the birth of Parakh Theatre, a mode of learning, improvisation and embodied theorizing across multiple sites including Mumbai, Lucknow, and Minneapolis and they have also sowed the seeds of Sangtin Kala Manch with Sangtin Kisaan Mazdoor Sangathan in Sitapur District, India.

To readers aware of the ongoing, intense media focus on cyberattacks, it should come as no surprise that multiple studies show that the frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks is increasing, rising dramatically in 2017.

Born out of crisis, the modern Computer Security Incident Response Team, or CSIRT (pronounced 'see-sert') is responsible for coordinating the response to an organization's computer security incidents.
With cybersecurity threats everywhere, CSIRTs play an indispensable role in the retirement industry, and in the future, should become a vital component for facilitating industry-wide collaboration in the face of cyberattacks
Everyone, it seems, is concerned about cybersecurity these days, and with good reason. Each week seems to bring a new round of headlines, making it clear that identity theft and criminal cyber activity have become persistent features of our lives.
The victims of cyber-crime can be wide-ranging, including governments, industry sectors, corporations of all sizes and individuals. The sources of cyber threats are equally diverse, originating from rogue nation-states, crime cartels, "lone wolf" hackers and even disgruntled employees.
With attention-grabbing headlines about major security breaches occurring almost daily, plan sponsors need to be assured that their service providers are on guard 24-7, protecting sensitive information and intellectual property, wherever it may reside.

More people in Tennessee die by suicide each year than from homicide, AIDS or drunk driving, according to the Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network.
The organization has launched a Crisis Text Line, a free, 24/7 text-messaging support line for people in crisis, to help anyone in the state. People in Tennessee can text "TN" to 741-741 to access a trained crisis counselor who can provide imme-diate support and referrals for suicidal thoughts, anxiety, depression, child and domestic abuse, substance abuse, eating disorders, human trafficking and more.
"Not everyone in crisis is comfortable verbalizing their problems or talking to relative strangers on the phone. Meanwhile, many teens and young adults – a high-suicide-risk population group – use their phones for texting instead of talking," said Scott Ridgway, TSPN's Executive Director. "The Crisis Text Line offers an alternative means of contact for people who might not reach out for help otherwise."
TSPN reports 950 Tennesseans die by suicide each year. Suicide is the second-leading cause of death among youth and young adults ages 15-24 in Tennessee and for the United States at large.
The Crisis Text Line, established in 2013, trains volunteers to support people in crisis, and has processed nearly 40,000 messages. Tennessee specific data can be viewed on The Crisis Text Line's website.

Whether you want to pop over to the Peloponnese peninsula or get back to mainland Greece, The Rio-Antirrio Bridge is there for you!
Imagine life before 2004: you can see your friends waving to you on the other side of the Gulf of Corinth. You want to join them? Then either you would have needed to be a great swimmer or more likely it would have taken you 45 minutes to get to the other side by ferry. Luckily, today you can visit your friends in only 5 minutes. Isn't that incredible?
Did you know that the first Olympic Games were held at Olympia, located in the western Peloponnese – and guess who were the first people to cross the Rio-Antirrio Bridge? The torch bearers of the Athens 2004 Olympic games!
Thanks to the Rio-Antirrio Bridge, Rio (on the peninsula) and Antirrio (on the mainland) are well connected today. This was good for us on our trip but also it has improved the economic and cultural exchange between the two areas. On top of that, the bridge itself is well worth a visit since it is one of the longest multi-span cable-stayed bridges in the world. Sounds shaky but trust us, it felt very stable!
You are on holidays and want to slow down? Then the longer ferry ride is the right option for you. We tried it out as well and can totally recommend it – the view from the ferry on the bridge is awesome.

The screenings begin with short personal introductions by individuals who have a special relationship to each film. The idea is to look for and discover obvious or hidden traces between the three films and the larger context.
Curated by Dorothee Wenner
If, in the world of film and cinema, you start digging under the surface, towards the layers slightly beneath the discourses of current affairs, you might come across an astonishing phenomenon.
Amidst media hyper-production, an acute void of images can be discovered, which relates like an echo to the empty archives of museums and the extinguished biographies in the "Afterlife of Slavery";
the very field that Christina Sharpe and Saidiya Hartman are researching. Of course, there are a number of classics in film history dealing with the topic:
Uncle Tom's Cabin (Edward S. Porter, USA, 1903), Gone with the Wind (Victor Fleming, USA, 1939), Sankofa (Haile Gerima, Burkina Faso/Ghana/Germany/USA/UK, 1993),
Quilombo (Carlos Diegues, Brazil 1984), Daughters of the Dust (Julie Dash, USA 1991), 12 Years a Slave (Steve McQueen, USA, 2013), to mention just a few, ignoring here the controversial issues which surround them, such as their narrative perspectives, "black-facing" or depiction of bodies. Different from films dealing with the Holocaust, for example, productions depicting the afterlife of slavery in Africa and the Black diaspora remain rare exceptions. As much as using a mere quantitative comparison can be misleading, the effects of the same are far-reaching, as existing image production seems to haul more image production.
This is in contrast to productions from Africa and the Black diaspora, for with certain notable exceptions, films with African topics or Black protagonists are considered box-office poison by distributors and ratings killers by the commissioning editors of TV stations. This is not only the case in Germany. It goes without saying that not all films with this background necessarily deal with the afterlife of slavery, yet their overall scarcity in our cinemas and TV schedules enhances the dynamics. Along with the penetration of globalization, there has been an ever-greater paucity of media visualization of the realities of Black lives in Africa and the diaspora, just as the visibility of Black/African film professionals is in decline.
When trying to analyse the problem and seeking responsibilities, it is easy to get trapped in a swirl of conspiracy theories and finger-pointing – at ignorant audiences, racist curators, colour-blind juries. Behind closed doors and with a hand over their mouths, Western experts might even apologetically express their concerns over "deficiencies in professionalism" when it comes to Black/African filmmaking; the uproar following the #oscarsowhite debate in 2016 was extremely insightful in this context. But why is it so difficult to find ways out of this dilemma? Maybe because the absence of imagery is at the same time cause and effect? Underneath the obvious, it seems that the lack of images does indeed cause the imagination's failure to evoke curiosity and generate interest to see more. It is a vicious circle: the German audience is generally not really in synch with present-day African lives, so consequently African films – if they get a theatrical release at all – are very hard to sell, which is why distributors in turn shy away from any opportunities. Moreover, when it comes to depicting the realities of Black lives, the expectations are suffocating, and thus the escape routes for anyone trying to break away are very narrow and burdened by resentments.
In association with the performances ABSENCE. THE AFTERLIFE OF SLAVERY AND THE GAPS OF THE ARCHIVE, the Stiftung Humboldt Forum im Berliner Schloss and Mobile Academy Berlin is presenting three films: a documentary and two features. They depict the aftermath of slavery – in individual biographies, in the present day, in contemporary history. The screenings begin with short personal introductions by individuals who have a special relationship to each film. The idea is to look for and discover obvious or hidden traces between the three films and the larger context.

SHE'S GOTTA HAVE IT, Spike Lee, USA 1986
The young and extremely attractive Nola Darling gets out of bed, a place where, according to her roommate, too many men find shelter. In the course of this comedy, we get to know three of the current admirers buzzing around Nola like bees around a honey pot. They are Greer, a vain model-cum-actor, conventional Jamie on the outlook for a wife, and buffoon Mars, played by Spike Lee himself. Different as they are, the three men have one thing in common: they are each convinced they can provide the best solution for Nola's quest in life. But as Nola herself repeatedly explains directly to the camera – and hence to us, the audience – she doesn't want to be owned by any of these men, nor indeed by any other. That's a challenging set-up for this modern woman and the rather possessive men around her.
Immediately after its release, this debut movie by Spike Lee became known as a landmark film which heralded the era of New Black Cinema in the USA. With its all-black cast, its humour and its political messages – which are obvious but never foregrounded – the film greatly changed the perception of Brooklyn and its emerging black middle class in the 1980s. Thirty years later, Spike Lee adapted the original film into a series of ten episodes for Netflix, which will be launched this year for Thanksgiving – a decisive date for the film's narrative.
In cooperation with HIT and RUN Pop-Up-Cinema.

KILLER OF SHEEP, Charles Burnett, USA 1977
Stan lives with his wife and daughter in Watts, a district of South Los Angeles populated mainly by African-Americans. He is a sensitive dreamer tormented by his job at a slaughterhouse, where he disembowels dead sheep. Frustrated by money problems, Stan finds respite in moments of simple beauty in his family life: the warmth of a coffee cup against his cheek, slow dancing with his wife in the living room, holding his daughter. The film offers no solutions; it merely presents life – sometimes hauntingly bleak, sometimes filled with contagious joy and gentle humour.
Charles Burnett's thesis film at UCLA, shot on weekends in 1977 with a minimal budget, is a rarely seen masterpiece of American film history.
Its rough, empathetic documentary quality has drawn comparisons to Italian neorealism, while others see the influence of John Cassavetes' Shadows,
and Burnett himself names Jean Renoir as his role model. In 1981 the film was introduced to an international audience at the International Forum of the Berlinale;
in 1990 it was named one of the fifty titles in the National Film Registry at the Library of Congress. Recently restored by the UCLA Film and Television Archive,
KILLER OF SHEEP can now be seen on screen again, three decades after its creation. Every grainy black-and-white shot contains so much affection, so much authenticity, so much poetry and dedication that the film remains an inspiration.
Christina Sharpe is professor of English at Tufts University. Her work is concerned with Black visual studies,
African-American literature and culture, Black queer studies, and Black diaspora studies.
She is the author of two monographs on the afterlife of slavery in contemporary culture and society:
Monstrous Intimacies: Making Post-Slavery Subjects and In the Wake: On Blackness and Being.

FOR AHKEEM, Jeremy S. Levine, Landon Van Soest, USA 2017
Daje is seventeen, and just as unruly and caught up in her own thoughts as others of her age the world over. We only realize her future hangs in the balance when we see her go to juvenile court with her mother; having been expelled from school for rebelliousness, she has just one last chance to get her life back on track. Yet the true gravity of her situation only gradually becomes clear – such as when we see the many names of her friends written on her notebook followed by R.I.P. and a recent date, or when Daje talks to her boyfriend about whether she – or he – might also die that young.
FOR AHKEEM explores the cosmos of a young black woman in St. Louis, Missouri, not far from Ferguson, the city where Michael Brown was shot in August 2014. The film adheres to a strictly personal perspective in order to recount her upbringing in today's United States and show the predetermined paths open to her – lined as they are with barricaded brick buildings. But it also reveals Daje's talent at avoiding the pitfalls of being either a victim or a model student, while evolving into the impressive protagonist of a documentary film that depicts her complicated life more in the style of a poignant feature than a social reportage.
Jimmie Edwards, Judge at the Judicial Circuit of Missouri, St. Louis, is a 'side character' in "For Akheem" - with key influence on the film's protagonist Daje. Edwards himself was raised by a single mother on St. Louis gang-ridden violent North Side. Familiar with issues surrounding urban crime, he founded the 'Innovative Concept Academy' in 2009, an experimental school as a last resort for wayward teenagers. Edward's efforts have gained national attention, he has been e.g. featured in a TED talk, "Encouraging the Incorrigible — Smart on Crime."
02.12.2017, 8pm, Villa Elisabeth (Invalidenstraße 3, 10115 Berlin)
Free admission, please RSVP (until Dec. 1).
A production by Mobile Academy Berlin, coproduced and organized by the Stiftung Humboldt Forum im Berliner Schloss, made possible thanks to the representative of the Federal Ministry for Culture and Media.

So thanks Tanuki Raw for giving me that experience!
Other toppings include ikura, truffle sauce, and chinmi chilli for $6 a piece. And between 5pm and 8pm, you can get raw live shucked oysters at $2 each. That's my sort of happy hour promotion!
4 types of salmon in a bowl? What more can I ask for 🙌🏼 Beneath the salmon fiesta is a bed of Tanuki raw's signature mixed rice. The rice isn't too special though, tastes like some Japanese rice seasoning of some sort.
There was a fair balance of toppings and fries at first, but like any regular fries with toppings, those at the bottom were pretty bare. It was definitely flavourful and pleasantly addictive!
although I feel that the salmon portions have decreased over the years, it's still very fresh and I love the combination of the various salmon (aburi, spicy), and omg the rice was always very nicely done - very flavorful, one of my favorites!!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
still the best place for salmon don with a variety, with a lunch set was $14.1 nett!
Second time having this and the lunch promo seems to be a smaller serving than usual. Still good thou!

How to get Far Cry 4 Two Birds Trophy / Achievement

See to it that you are undetected while doing trying to get the Two Birds Trophy / Achievement. Buy a sniper rifle and be as close to them as possible, wait for the day till they are perfectly lined up and shot at their head.
Headshot will definitely kill them as most of the enemies in this game have body armor. If you miss your shot or only kill one enemy, then get yourself killed and you will respawn at the outpost again.

Though she wouldn't have expected it when she moved to Paradise in the Bunheads pilot, Michelle has grown to love her job at the studio. The thought of teaching once nearly made her physically ill, but after bonding with her students and rediscovering her love for dance through them, she became much more comfortable with her role as mentor and surrogate big sister. However, once she contemplated a future of never being on stage again, facilitated by Talia hanging up her dancing shoes, Michelle came to the realization that her love of performing is still alive and well.
On the winter finale of Bunheads, Michelle has driven an hour and a half from Paradise to an open-call audition at a Methodist church. The role? A musical adaptation of the 1939 Bette Davis movie Dark Victory, the tale of a hedonistic Long Island socialite who faces a medical problem. The only thing is that she didn't tell anyone that she was going and the girls run into her on their own day out. Once Michelle came back from her brief stint in Vegas, the likelihood of her leaving again lessened, at least to the bunheads; Fanny forgave her, the parents were okay with having her back, and with her getting back on stage, it seemed like that part of her didn't need as much attention anymore. But it does and Boo, Ginny, Melanie, and Sasha may have to face losing Michelle to the music one more time.
Elsewhere on Bunheads, Fanny and Scotty return to Paradise, while Sasha thinks she's ready to have sex with Roman and wants Boo to have sex with Carl.
The winter finale of Bunheads airs Monday at 9:00 on ABC Family. You can check out a recap of the most recent episode here.
Will Michelle get the role in the Dark Victory adaptation? How would Paradise change without her around? Should Sasha be trying to move this fast with her boyfriend?

Fossils were in no short supply during our recent research trip to the "Emil Racovita" Institute of Speleology in Bucharest, Romania. Our goal this season was to work on continuing to inventory the existing Olteţ River Valley paleontological collections. Excavations in the 1960s recovered thousand of fossils from multiple sites in the Olteţ River Valley dating to the early Pleistocene, around 1.5 to 2 million years ago. By examining the fossils from these sites we can understand the paleoenvironments that our early human ancestors might have encountered when they first dispersed into Europe. To do this we cataloged specimens, collected detailed measurements, created 3D models of some specimens, collected isotopic samples from teeth, and molded teeth to analyze their microwear. Both isotopic and microwear analyses can tell us about the foods a fossil animal ate, which in turn can tell us about the environment where they lived. Unlike today, environments in Romania 2 million years ago included species like giraffes, rhinos, mammoths, primates, giant deer, hyenas, and even saber-tooth cats!
Check out the pictures below and for more information on this ongoing research visit our Olteţ River Valley research page!

We evaluated the Positive Party yesterday and they have a great time. I could not believe how much they all took in and they were in discussion using affirmation etc and how they were going to work at not getting negative about certain situations that they normally would have reacted to in a negative way.
Young parent's quotes – "I woke up in a bad mood, I am not a morning person but I was glad I went to the Positive Party. I walked away relaxed and feeling more upbeat."

Tinkle, tinkle. Tinkle, tinkle - the refreshing sounds of Japanese wind chimes known as furin bring an air of coolness to the sweltering summer heat. Traditionally hung outside, their sounds can also be enjoyed indoors using special stands.
Wind chimes are made in a variety of styles - some are even local specialties. Each one has its own distinct sound, meaning there's something for everyone.
Kanazawa Institute of Technology Prof. Yoshio Tsuchida is a furin enthusiast. He has collected rare wind chimes from across the nation during his study of how the mind is influenced by various sounds in everyday life.
Furin's prototype is said to be "futaku," which arrived in Japan through Buddhism and was hung from the corners of temple roofs to dispel evil spirits. Around the end of the Edo period (1603-1867), citizens began hanging wind chimes from the edge of the eaves of their homes for summer refreshment.
Many modern-day houses are built without eaves or engawa porches suited for hanging wind chimes, however, which some regard as mere noise.
"People become uncomfortable when they hear sounds that aren't familiar to their everyday life," Tsuchida said. "Furin are sadly not as big a part of our lives as before, but I hope people enjoy their sounds while being considerate to others."
Tones and loudness depend on the type - glass wind chimes, for example, are less resonant and quieter, meaning they are less likely to disturb neighbours when hung from laundry poles outside.
Based in Tokyo's Edogawa Ward, Shinohara Furin Honpo makes transparent hand-blown glass chimes called Edo Furin that feature a range of hand-painted summery motifs from morning glory and goldfish to fireworks.
"They have a gentle sound, and people can feel cooler just by looking at them," Tsuchida said.
Indoor stands are available for those without any places to hang the chimes.
Wind chimes made of such metals as iron and brass have a louder resonating sound. Odawara Imono Kenkyujo, a nonprofit organisation that studies metal casting and furin sounds, offers Sahari Furin made of copper and tin alloys with a deep and clear tone.
Tsuchida said that metal wind chimes should be enjoyed indoors since they can be pretty loud. "Whether you're hanging them outside or just out the window, you should be considerate to others and bring them in at night and on windy days," Tsuchida said.
Metal wind chimes featuring rod-shaped designs are quieter than the bell-shaped variety. Tsuchida's favourite of this type is Myochin Hibashi Furin, manufactured by Myochin Honpo in Himeji, Hyogo Prefecture.
The company traditionally manufactures hibashi, metal chopsticks used to handle charcoal. Spurred by the fantastic sounds of iron chopsticks striking each other, the company developed hibashi wind chimes - now a Himeji specialty.
In 2013, Tsuchida created Kanazawa Furin using washi Japanese paper, themed on the city of Kanazawa. The product features brass tubes and a ¥5 (S$5.55 cents) coin that produce gentle rings.
"Each handmade furin has a unique sound, and that goes for the ones with the same material and shape - let alone those in different shapes made with different material," Tsuchida said. "So have a listen to find your favourite one."

UPDATED at 10:33 p.m. Saturday to include comments from Kirkpatrick
After taking part in four elections over the past 14 months, Dallas ISD trustee Dustin Marshall finally gets to take a breather.
Marshall won a three-year term for DISD's District 2 seat, beating challenger Lori Kirkpatrick in Saturday's runoff election. District 2 is a doughnut-shaped area surrounding the Park Cities. Results weren't finalized by late Saturday, with a court order sequestering 89 mail-in ballots as a precaution in a larger voter fraud investigation. But Marshall's lead far exceeded that amount, by almost 3,000 votes.
"It's been fun to meet a lot of people and learn more about the needs of the people in my district," Marshall said. "But campaigning has been exhausting, and hard on my family. It's going to feel great to take a deep breath and unwind for a couple of days."
The result was a significant reversal from May's three-way race between Marshall, Kirkpatrick and Richard Young. Kirkpatrick almost won the seat outright, beating Marshall by 291 votes, but falling 23 votes shy of the required 50 percent threshold.
It was Marshall's second runoff win in as many years. Last May, he grabbed the most votes in a four-way special election to fill the seat of Mike Morath -- who left DISD's board to become the state's education commissioner. In last year's runoff, he beat Mita Havlick by just 42 votes.
In a twist, Havlick was part of a contingent of education-reform advocates who backed Marshall in recent months.
Marshall attributed the turnaround to efforts by his campaign team and volunteers, "mobilizing voters and getting people to understand the consequences of this race and its impact on the future of our kids."
His win means that one of the district's biggest reform initiatives -- its teacher merit-pay system, Teacher Excellence Initiative -- will likely stay in place, at least for another election cycle. DISD's board is largely split on TEI's effectiveness and viability, and Marshall's seat is considered a swing vote. While Kirkpatrick said she was in favor of some form of merit pay, she was opposed to many of TEI's central tenets.
The campaign became increasingly fractious in the final weeks. Kirkpatrick -- who had received the endorsement of the Texas Democratic party and national progressive organization Our Revolution -- continued to paint Marshall as an opponent of public schools.
Marshall called Saturday's result a "mandate for data-oriented reforms in our school system."
"District 2 voters, in particular, are very well-educated, and prone to fact check any accusations," he said. "Obviously, they did their homework, and have not bought into any conspiracy theories or efforts like that."
Late Saturday, Kirkpatrick said that her efforts with the district were "just getting started."
"I'm very committed to DISD and what's going on in the district and will continue to stay involved," she said. "I think that I can use this platform that we've created to shine a spotlight on issues that need to be brought to light."

Ted and Debbie's
Even in the dead of winter, Ted and Debbie's Flower and Garden, 3901 S. Harvard Ave., offers passers-by a splash of color, with flats of flowers blooming on racks out front and bright decorations hanging from the fence.
Pansies and Johnny jump-ups provided a burst of color on a recent midwinter's afternoon, while indoors, heart-shaped gifts of every imaginable size and type reminded shoppers that Valentine's Day wasn't far off.
In addition to floral arrangements and seedlings for planting in the garden, Ted and Debbie's offers planters, birdhouses, stepping stones, candleholders, flags, and a host of other gift items.
Big fabric flowers bloom in a pot next to a display of garden markers with clever sayings. A birdhouse designed to resemble a gnome with a surprised expression on his face — his mouth open wide enough to admit avian residents — hangs from a shelf near a display of ladybug-themed candleholders.
Faux stones trumpet gardeners' loyalty to any of several college teams (including OU and OSU), and a shelf inside the building is covered with jars of locally produced jams, jellies, and canned Porter peaches.
None of that is particularly out of the ordinary — but what sets Ted and Debbie's apart is its extensive selection of blown-glass ornaments.
Every imaginable occasion is celebrated with a delicate glass ornament, from sparkling Thanksgiving turkeys to pastel-colored Easter eggs and golden crosses. Cigar-shaped ornaments announce, "It's a Boy" or "It's a Girl," while other ornaments are designed to resemble movie popcorn, telephone booths, school buses, and more.
Ted and Debbie's is open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 12:30 to 5 p.m. Sunday.

The flight from hell: Four-day return home from Caribbean after fault that the PILOT says 'would have led to a watery grave'
- Flight MON368 from Tobago took nearly four days to reach Gatwick after suffering mechanical failures
- Plane forced into emergency landing in Barbados after pilot reported smoke and fumes seeping into cockpit
- Horrified passengers told fault 'could have landed them in a watery grave'
- Deborah Gerrard of Powys has suffered nightmares since the ordeal
A plane full of British holidaymakers endured a return flight from the Caribbean that suffered so many mechanical failures it took four days to get home.
Monarch flight 368 had been due to leave Tobago on Wednesday April 2. But after a journey that included an emergency landing in Barbados after smoke and fumes began to fill the cabin, the traumatised travellers did not reach Gatwick until the early hours of April 6 - almost four days later.
Horrified passengers were at one point told by their pilot that a fault on the plane could have landed them 'in a watery grave' and that the same failure had once caused a plane to crash in Thailand, killing all on board.
Nightmare journey: Deborah and Derek Gerrard, of Powys, Wales, were among the passengers delayed for four days on their trip home after a holiday in the Caribbean island of Tobago
Derek and Deborah Gerrard of Powys, Wales, had been relaxing in sun-drenched paradise in Tobago before the flight, but Deborah has suffered nightmares since the journey.
They spent the three nights being ferried between airports and hotels as a catalogue of technical failures beset the aircraft.
Their captain at one point announced over the plane's intercom that had an earlier reverse thruster fault not been fixed, it would have led to a 'quick trip to a watery grave', then explained this happened to a plane that crashed in Thailand in 1991 - killing 213 passengers.
Mr Gerrard said: 'This holiday was to celebrate my 50th birthday combined with our 25th wedding anniversary year.
'In our 30 years together this was only our fourth holiday overseas, it was supposed to be very special. It was not paid for out of spare cash, it was paid for by years of sacrificing and saving.
'It certainly will be etched in our memories, but for all the wrong reasons.
The problems began when the passengers arrived at Tobago airport on the afternoon of Wednesday April 6, at which point a problem with the reverse thrusters was diagnosed, requiring an engineer to be flown over from Gatwick.
They were kept another night in Tobago and, upon returning for their rescheduled flight at 7pm the following evening, were told that the problem had been solved by two steel bolts being fitted to the thrusters, which are used to slow the plane on landing.
Weary: Passengers took almost four days to get back to England from Tobago after a catalogue of problems with a Monarch aircraft
The captain said they wouldn't function properly, but that because Gatwick has a long runway then they shouldn't have a problem slowing down.
It was at this point he added that, had they flown without fixing the problem, it would have led them to a 'quick, watery grave', and referred to a Lauda airline crash in 1991 when a reverse thruster went off mid-flight, causing a crash that killed 213 passengers.
As if passengers weren't nervous enough, about 20 minutes into the flight the captain came on the intercom again and said that smoke and fumes were seeping into the cabin, meaning they would have to carry out an emergency landing in Barbados - not commenting on whether that airport's runway was long enough for the plane.
They fortunately landed safely, with emergency vehicles lining the landing strip upon their arrival.
Another overnight stay beckoned and with no clear information forthcoming as to when they would leave, the Gerrards were among those passengers to contact their tour operators, Tropical Sky, to complain about the situation.
It did the trick, with Tropical Sky calling them back to say that a 'rescue plane' was on its way to Barbados to pick them all up, and would take them home the following day, April 5.
Lengthy wait: Derek Gerrard waiting outside Barbados airport and (right) on the delayed plane back home.
An initial departure time of 11.45am was pushed back to 3.55pm, and when passengers got on the plane they were told there would be another slight delay because the plane was refueling.
Finally, at 5.15pm local time, the plane took off, landing at Gatwick just before 5am on the Sunday morning.
On top of the delays, the Gerrards ended up forking out hundreds of pounds on taxi pick-ups from Gatwick because Monarch failed to provide correct flight information to those in England.
On three consecutive days, the Gerrards said the taxi firm they had hired for the five-and-a-half hour trip home had checked flight information to find the plane was mid-flight, only to arrive at the airport to discover it was still stuck in Barbados.
Although they were put up in hotels and provided with food and drink as per the rules for airlines, Monarch customers have expressed their dissatisfaction with the length of the delay and the comments of their pilot on a Facebook page created to gather complaints about the airline.
They were, however, a bit more complimentary about the rest of the flight staff and that accommodation was found quickly - albeit not particularly close to the airport.
Hellish end to paradise: Holidaymakers were on their way home from Tobago
Passengers are now planning on applying for compensation for their delay under European Union rules that entitles them to payouts for delays longer than three hours that could have been avoided or minimised.
Monarch has said it is investigating the delays and would be writing to customers with its findings and discuss possible options for compensation.
It also acknowledged that one of its pilots had made 'inappropriate' comments during the diversion to Barbados.
A spokesman said: 'We regret that customers experienced a significant delay on the flight from Tobago to London Gatwick. The aircraft experienced a technical issue before departure from Tobago, which was subsequently rectified by engineers before being cleared for operation.
'During the delay customers were given hotel accommodation and provided with meals.
'Shortly after the re-scheduled take-off, a further unconnected technical issue was detected and the aircraft was diverted to Barbados where customers disembarked and were transferred to hotel accommodation.
'Given the technical issues on this occasion, we made alternative arrangements to return customers to London Gatwick at the earliest time – including the sourcing of another aircraft to complete the journey back to the UK.
'The Captain took appropriate measures in line with manufacturer and company procedures to ensure the safe landing at Barbados.
'We are entirely confident that the Captain took the correct action to ensure the safety of all on board.
'We always encourage our pilots to give regular and open updates to our customers; on this occasion, during one update, he used an inappropriate choice of words to reinforce the need to divert to Barbados and has expressed his regret at doing so.
'Accommodation, meals and beverages were provided to customers during the delays in Tobago and Barbados, and every effort is being made to refund additional expenses incurred as a result of the delay. We are writing to customers to let them know the findings of our investigation and to discuss their options for compensation.'
Compensation is available on any flight leaving an EU airport, into the EU, or on an EU-based airline, that is delayed by more than three hours under Regulation (EC) 261/2004.
Compensation is €250 for inter-EU flights of 930 miles or less, €400 for flights between 930 and 1,860 miles, and €600 for other journeys.
You can actually claim for flight delays dating back to February 2005, but if the case comes to court then the cut-off point is six years.
Airlines do not have to pay out compensation if the delays caused by 'extraordinary circumstances', such as extreme weather, industrial action, or security concerns, though what constitutes extraordinary circumstances has been a bone of contention between airlines, passengers and the courts.
There have been recent legal cases in the UK, for example, that found airlines cannot use 'unforeseen technical problems' as an excuse to deny compensation, with judges ruling that airlines should have a reasonable expectation that sometimes things go wrong on aircrafts and should have contingency plans in place to minimise the disruption.
Even if an airline is not responsible for the delay - for example if extreme weather is preventing travel - it still has a duty of care to delayed passengers. They should provide food and refreshments, phone calls and even hotels if necessary.
If you've been left out of pocket as a result of a delay, it's important to keep receipts so you can claim them back off the airline at a later date.

Wheat consignment from India through Iran's Chabahar Port reaches Afghanistan
The first consignment of wheat from India reached Herat in Afghanistan via Iran's Chabahar Port, according to media reports on Tuesday.
Deputy Governor of Herat, Mohyaddin Noori and Indian Consul General in Herat, Kumar Gaurav were present to receive the consignment of 1000 tonnes of wheat.
The Chabahar port is located in the Sistan-Balochistan province of Iran and is being seen as a new strategic route connecting India, Afghanistan and Iran; the port will not only ease trading between the three countries but also enable them to connect with other central Asian countries.
The port, easily accessible from India's western coast, allows India to bypass Pakistan, reports said.
According to media reports, political experts believe the opening of the Chabahar Port is also being seen as a foil to Pakistan's Gwadar Port that is being developed with Chinese investment.

Hey guys
So I have begun getting into more complicated cue point work in Traktor. I have two songs that I'm mixing. The first song (CEOXiME - Scream) is being used for melody and vocal, while the second song (Audio Organism - Finding a Balance) is being used for a really interesting drum beat. Now I want to be able to jump through the cue points as they pass. I thought that my Cue/Play button would default to the last Cue point, but instead it jumps to the last Cue point I played from.
Is there a way to change this setting? I know how to set the controls to jump to previous, first, last and next Cue point, but I will need to set up my PadKontrol first and I was hoping to get this mix made.
I don't expect it to be possible, but it'd be nice. :-)
