John Calipari
Lexington, Kentucky
Kentucky - 88, EKU - 67
COACH CALIPARI: I thought Alex was outstanding in the second half. I thought Marcus Lee was really good in the second half. And I thought Skal made strides. He's not there yet, but he mixed it up. He dove on the floor. Now, he hurt his elbow, he said. But he did dive on the floor. I mean, so he's making strides. I keep telling him, it has nothing to do with what you do offensively. You're all seeing that's pretty good offensively, but that's not what it is.
We're still a ways away, folks. I was happy about some of the stuff, but we're not -- we don't come up with stops to put people away. It's been all year this way.
I can tell you, Dan did a great job with his team. I watched his tape. They got to be excited about watching basketball up there. The way they play and skill guys that can all make shots. They missed some against us, but we defended and made them drive into bigs. And, but that team's going to win a lot of games.
All these teams that we have played, like EKU, they're all good teams.
Got to shoot a little bit better. Tyler and Jamal didn't shoot it particularly well, but I'm not too worried about it. I'm more worried about us, how we're playing. This was a game where we were going to play up-and-down because that's how they defend. They let you get into a running game.
But I was disappointed in turnovers. We had 17 turnovers. Four from Jamal, four from Marcus Lee, three from Skal. I mean, come on. Most of that is just being tough with the ball, making easy plays.
Coach McHale said that Alex is a pro when he wants to be. What makes the difference, do you think, when Alex wants to be and a apparently when he doesn't want to be?
COACH CALIPARI: I don't know. We're bringing out Alex? You can ask him.
Marcus Lee, coming back from that injury, obviously looked good shot 5-5 from the field. What did you see out of him?
COACH CALIPARI: In the first half he wasn't particularly -- did well and in the second half, he played. I thought he blocked balls, he came up with rebounds. I even liked the fact Skal blocked somebody out so that the other guy could go get the ball.
But there was a late-game rebound that we really needed to finish the game off. Skal let the other guy get it from him and you're out. You can't be in. We're trying to win. And even though we're learning as we go, again, we're the most inexperienced team in the country and we show it. I'm probably expecting way too much from these guys, probably because we have all been spoiled that when we step on the court, everybody thinks we're just supposed to win.
The UCLA game kind of got everybody in check like, oh my gosh, are we that team or are we that other team? And this is what happens when you have inexperienced guys.
Alex is a senior. Consistency should be a heck of a lot better than it is --
COACH CALIPARI: He'll come out, you need to go ask him. Next question. He's coming out. Go ahead. He's ready. Fire away.
Anything you would like us to ask him?
COACH CALIPARI: Oh, you guys will all ask him. You know what we're all saying. I mean, I want the kid to be the best player in the country, that's what I want him to be. He's capable of that. Made free throws today, he just -- he stopped on one rebound and he brought it down his old self and he lost it. And then on one defensive play he knew he stopped and the guy drove for a lay up and he knew it. I mean, he eliminates those two, he plays like a near, missed a couple shots, but a near perfect game.
Coming up close on the semester break, I wonder if Camp Cal, the no 20 hours, is that going to be more important for this team than other teams?
COACH CALIPARI: It will be important because, plus we have Tai coming. He's 6'-10", 260. Could he be the answer to toughness? Then the other guys got to take a back seat? I don't know until we get him here and we let him get in there and mix it up.
But the other side of it is, we got finals, we got two practice days, and a game Saturday against a really good opponent who is playing really well right now. Beat Texas A & M going away.
Then we have finals. So they're off Sunday. We have Monday, Tuesday, we'll have an individual workday on Wednesday.
Thursday, Friday, we travel to Brooklyn and then they got Christmas and they're off for awhile.
So when they come back, we have a couple practice days and we play Louisville who is playing really well right now. So we have no -- this stuff is on now. Like it's on.
After that, we may have some space. I haven't looked at the schedule. But we're going to do a lot of scrimmaging. They got to bring this out of each other. Can't do it with drills. Let's just throw it up and scrimmage and let's figure it out. You want to take somebody's spot, go beat them out, go play better.
Isaiah did some good stuff today, but he's got to make free throws. You can't go 0-3 and one was the front end one-on-one and that means your 0-4. You can't do that as a guard. Plus it's demoralizing. He's a good enough player that you don't need to do that. But, boy can he can he get to the basket, is he good with the ball? How physical was he? And he defended pretty good.
You said yesterday, maybe, it doesn't have to be Skal, maybe Alex can be the guy to establish that post presence --
COACH CALIPARI: Or a guard.
Where you throw the ball --
COACH CALIPARI: Or a guard. It doesn't have to be a big. You just have to be able to throw it to somebody in there and create some havoc.
As far as big guys go, is he your best chance?
COACH CALIPARI: It's early. I would like to have more than one. I would like to have Skal and Alex. I would like to be able to throw the ball to Marcus Lee when they try to be physical with him, where he spins and gets to the rim.
What about the spark that Charles Matthews gave you off the bench in that first half?
COACH CALIPARI: He played good. And then again, they didn't play him. Okay, so he's got to figure out, what am I going to do if I'm not being played.
So, at halftime, I went right on the board and said, okay, they're not playing a couple of you. Like, literally not guarding you. You must slash and be around that lane area where we can find you. Because you're not being guarded.
Second half, he stood, he threw it to the corner, and he's pointing to the post, and he stood there. And that's the time Skal got tripled teamed by his man. And I took him out. I said, look, come on now, we want you in the game, I want you to do those things, you got to listen. If you're not being guarded, you can still be a heck of a player, slashing, offensive rebound -- you saw him get a dunk. But he did all right. It's, like I said, he's young, I've been tough on these guys, I'm driving them pretty hard, most of it is based on we just, we, if they can't take me hounding them, where can they take an opponent? And every game, here's what I said to them before the game, every game we play, the other team plays loose as a goose, and they play hard. Because they have nothing to lose.
And I'm telling them, we got to play that way. That's got to be who we are. Because we're not last year. This is who we are, we're a good team, got good players. So that's what we're trying to get to.
You mentioned that y'all are going to start scrimmaging more?
COACH CALIPARI: We have scrimmaged the last two days.
And you mentioned the playing time is up for grabs.
COACH CALIPARI: No, no, no, no.
Is it one through five playing time is up for grabs?
COACH CALIPARI: No, no. There's one or two guys, if you want to play, play better and do it in practice. But you got five, six, seven guys, it's locked in who they are. Skal wants to give it up to those other guys or Tai when he comes, then give it up. If you don't want to give it up, fight, fight like crazy and go get, go get it done.
Alex and Marcus Lee are playing. Those three guards are playing. Who are the other couple guys? You want to play? Prove it in practice. That's the old school way of doing it, I hope you know. That's, like, how they do it. And then the other guys don't play. Now, it's, you know...
You kind of talk about how Tyler is talking right now, the last couple games he's 5-22 shooting.
COACH CALIPARI: Arm's still bothering him. It was his right arm. There are times he doesn't want to make that shot. We're telling him, look, you got to shoot it, whether you're making it or not, because if they're not playing people, it's the only thing can you do. But the other one was Jamal. Just missed a lot of open shots. I mean, and he's a good shooter. Made the couple that we needed to space the game, but when it's ready to bury people and put them out of their misery, we're not making those plays and we're breaking down defensively.
One other thing about Tai, how far along is he in his development and when does he --
COACH CALIPARI: I don't know, when he comes here on the 18th -- I don't have any idea. I'll see him. I watched him on tape, but I haven't seen him in person. Haven't seen him against our guys. We'll see what he is and what he's not and whether he's going to be able to help us this first year.
What does he look like on tape to you?
COACH CALIPARI: He looks like he's 6'-10" and about 260. 250.
Will he play regardless for you or is it still a possibility he might red shirt?
REPLACENAME: He could red shirt, but the plan is, let's slide him in there and go. But again, okay, we play on the 19th. He gets here only the 18th. Then we go on Christmas break. And he's going to come back here and I got to have staff working with him over Christmas. Then we have two practice days and we play Louisville. Not probably the ideal game to shove him in, with two days practice. But then let's just see where he is and let's, we'll figure it out.

Angelus 1994
Chateau Angelus
In the new classification of St.-Emilion, justice was certainly served with the elevation of Angelus to premier grand cru classe status. No Bordeaux estate has been making as concentrated and consistently high quality wines as has Angelus since 1988. Even in the rain-plagued vintage of 1992, Angelus produced a wine of uncommon power, ripeness, and intensity. This estate is in many ways symbolic of what heights Bordeaux can achieve when a property is managed by someone as passionate and driven as Hubert de Bouard. As I have been writing for the last decade, these are wines to buy at first release; they can only go up in price given their quality. Another inky, purple/black-colored wine, the 1994 offers up heavenly scents of smoked meats, barbeque spices, hickory wood, and plenty of cassis and kirsch liqueur. The fruit's phenomenal purity and denseness, as well as its overall balance is admirable in view of the massive, muscular personality of this huge, full-bodied wine oozing with extract. It is a tour de force in winemaking. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2020.

Chateau Angelus
Chateau Angelus is a prominent wine estate from the appellation of Saint Emilion, located on the right bank in the wine growing region of Bordeaux, France. Until the year 1990 it was referred to as Chateau L'Angelus or just L'Angelus.
This superior Bordeaux wine was promoted in the Saint Emilion Classification of 2012, now ranking as a Premier Grand Cru Classe (A), a tribute to its consistent production of top quality wine.
Chateau Angelus also produces a second wine named Carillon d'Angelus. The entire chateau covers an area of 23.4 hectares and its annual production is just over 10,000 cases.

The compact FujiFilm GFX 50R, which has recently been described by us, was only a starter before a main dish, which is GFX 100. The presented camera is a medium-format one whose heart is a 102MP (43,8 × 32,9mm) sensor with full frame coverage with phase-detection pixels. It is not the first construction on the market equipped with the sensor of such high resolution, but for the first time we have to do with the sensor equipped with image stabilization, thanks to which, with the use of GFX 100, we will be able to make sharp photographs with the use of a tripod.
Videos can be recorded in 4K with the speed of 30f/s. It has been announced that, contrary to GFX 50S and 50R, available filming functions will be significantly expanded.
1). FujiFilm GFX 100
From the attached photographs, we can see that it is truly oldschool - we will possibly find a set of classic knobs and buttons and the very body will be big and solid, which should encourage the use of big and heavy lenses. A vertical grip was placed at the bottom of the camera's body. It will facilitate making portraits. At the upper wall, we will find an auxiliary LCD screen.
The date of premiere of GFX 100 and its price are not known yet.
Together with the premiere of the new camera, the appearances of new medium-format GF lenses have been announced. GF 50mm f/3.5 R LM WR (the equivalent of 40mm for full frame) and GF 100-200mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR (the equivalent of 79-158mm for full frame) are to appear on the market in 2019. GF 45-100mm f/4 R LM OIS WR (the equivalent of 25-221mm for full frame) is to appear on the market in 2020.

The Top 5 Fashion IconsAugust 20th, 2015
Who doesn't know them, the top 5 fashion icons? Here is our pick.
In case you are missing one of your favorites or would love to dive deeper into the realm of fashion icons a bit deeper, check out FAD – The Ultimate Fashion Dictionary. Our very own iPhone Fashion App lists all notable fashion individuals in great detail.
1_Coco Chanel
Gabrielle Bonheur 'Coco' Chanel, French fashion designer, lived from 1883 to 1971. Coco Chanel made history as the most risk taking designer of her time. With her futuristic philosophy of combining menswear items with chic and sophisticated women's fashion, she became one of the most iconic fashion figures of all times. Chanel, who established her namesake brand in 1909 in Paris, has been credited with liberating the conservative women's fashion post World War I. Throughout her life, Chanel's sense of good taste and visionary entrepreneurship helped to grow the brand to one of the biggest and most influential fashion houses up to this day. By now, Chanel sells everything fashion related from handbags to accessories and fragrances. Chanel's perfume creation 'Chanel No. 5′ remains one of the most iconic fragrances ever made. The brand, still headquartered in Paris, sells its products in more than 300 locations around the world. At present, fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld is acting as Chanel's Creative Director.
2_Diane Vreeland
Diana Vreeland, fashion editor, lived from 1903 to 1989. Vreeland was well known as a fashion icon during the 20th century. In 1965, the fashion editor who not only worked for the fashion magazines Harper's Bazaar and Vogue but also for the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, was named to the International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame.
3_Elsa Schiaparelli
Elsa Schiaparelli, Italian fashion designer, lived from 1890 to 1973. Alongside 'Coco Chanel', the Italian designer is recognized as one of the most influential fashion figures in the 1920s and 1930s. Schiaparelli started off with a collection of knitwear in 1927, in which she used a certain double layered stitching technique that was created by Armenian fugitives. Besides her knitwear approach, Schiaparelli was particularly influenced by Surrealists like the famous painter Salvador Dalí. Hence, she became the first designer ever to feature sweaters with surrealist trompe l'oeil images. After Schiaparelli's career came to an abrupt stillstand during World War II, the Italian designer couldn't quite adjust to the changes in fashion after 1945, which by then was mainly influenced due to Christian Dior's 'New Look'. As a result, Schiaparelli terminated her business in 1954.
4_Iris Apfel
Iris Apfel, American fashion icon, born 1921 in New York. After studying art at the University of Wisconsin, Apfel moved back to her hometown New York where she started working for the interior designer Elinor Johnson and Women's Wear Daily. With her husband Carl Apfel she founded a textile company and started working on various design projects. Over the time Apfel became very well known for her style and huge round glasses. Today, she spreads the message of style around the US lecturing at universities and continues to be one of fashions biggest icons.
5_Jeanne Lanvin
Jeanne Lanvin, French fashion designer, lived from 1867 to 1946. Lanvin founded her namesake fashion house in 1885 in Paris. The fashion house is one of the most ancient in haute couture and the founder herself was one of the most influential designers of the 1920s and '30s. Her skillful use of beaded appliques, trimmings, exquisite fabrics and floral colors became a Lanvin trademark. The success of the fashion house was extraordinary and went on after her death in 1946 under the leadership of her daughter Marguerite di Pietro. The fashion house of Lanvin went finally to Alber Elbaz in October 2001 after several changes of the ownership. He is now the artistic director for all activities, including interiors.

First, see http://less.works for a listing of courses, more course descriptions, and a complete introduction to LeSS.
What's the single most important insight for a senior manager to understand about LeSS, Large-Scale Scrum? That it is not a practice or process. Rather, LeSS is an organizational design, which impacts group structures, hierarchy, site strategy, roles, positions, processes, and basic policies (such as budgeting, career path, and rewards).
Organizational design is the proper remit of executive management, and so it is critical that you actively both learn and lead a successful LeSS adoption. This is not something you can "phone in" your support for, or delegate to mid-level management.
A second key understanding is that this change involves both Product Management and R&D (or "business" and "IT") together, and so heads of both groups will want to attend together.
In this 2-day highly-participative course, you get a thorough introduction to the organizational design implications of LeSS — in both R&D and Product Management — and managing its adoption, from the perspective of what a senior manager needs to know and do.
As highlighted in The Fifth Discipline — from MIT Sloan School of Business professor Peter Senge, and named by the Harvard Business Review as one of the seminal management books of the past 75 years — a critical skill for leadership is Systems Thinking, which is also a cornerstone principle of LeSS. Therefore, a significant part of the course focuses on actively learning to apply Systems Thinking to your organizational system and a LeSS adoption, with Causal Loop Modeling in small groups working together.
There will also be an in-depth clinic with Craig Larman, the co-creator of LeSS, based on his long experience with Large-Scale Scrum adoptions and working with senior management.
In addition to course material, each participant will also receive 3 books on LeSS:
Although there are some constants in a LeSS adoption, there are many variations, due to myriad contexts. And there are many special-topic questions that participants have, usually variations of "When scaling Scrum, how do we…?" These questions range from "contracts to career path." Therefore, a full half-day to day of this course is dedicated to a structured Q&A session that works through a group-prioritized list of burning issues and questions. Craig Larman, drawing on his many years of experience of actual LeSS adoptions working with senior managers, will dialog and explore solutions with the group.
All participants will be a Certified LeSS graduate and will get an account on less.works. Here they can find additional information about LeSS, share course information and stay in contact with the other course participants.
Read this: Course Environment - LeSS
There will be several PDFs of course notes, and supporting student learning aids, that will need to be printed and distributed to students
As mentioned, in addition to course material, each participant will also receive 3 books on LeSS:

So here is my solution which I already successfully tried on 3 laptops with 64-bit Ubuntu 16.04.

An extract from GAKI-KAME #008 (070526)
Gaki-san : What about you Kame? What did you do for Mother's day?Our short-tempered little turtle ♥
Eri : I quarreled with my mother in the morning.
Gaki-san : Eh?! Even though its Mother's day?
Eri : Yes, over something trivial.
Gaki-san : What did you do?
Eri : I made a cheesecake and while decorating the cake with fresh cream, some of it flew back up after I put it on the cake and landed on my hand so I just tasted it and it was horrible salty because I had mistook the salt for sugar earlier on.
Gaki-san : Eh?!
Eri : That made me become hot-tempered.
Gaki-san : Who was the one who made the mistake? It was you wasn't it?
Eri : Yes.
Gaki-san : Then why did you become hot-tempered (when you're the one who made the mistake)?
Eri : Because I tried really hard mixing the ingredients, making the fresh cream all bouncy but when it reached my hand and I tasted it it was so salty.
Gaki-san : Uh-huh
Eri : I couldn't control myself and ended up venting my anger on my mother asking her "Mom, why?! Why didn't you tell me I used salt instead of sugar?!"
Gaki-san : (lol)
Eri : And then we quarreled.
Gaki-san : Poor mother.
Eri : That evening my whole family went out for dinner and yes, it was great.
Gaki-san : Then what happened to the salted fresh cream?
Eri : Ah yes, that, well, er, yeah
Gaki-san : You ate it?
Eri : Er, lets not talk about that.
Gaki-san : Eh?
Eri : Because its difficult to understand.
Gaki-san : Well, but you were in the wrong.
Eri : Yes, it was my fault.
Gaki-san : Don't push the blame to your mother next time, okay?
Eri : I'm really really sorry.
Gaki-san : Go and label them "Salt" and "Sugar" to stop this from happening again.
Eri : Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! It was already written there though..
Gaki-san : (lol) Guess it can't be helped then.
Its amazing how she can mix salt and sugar up when the containers are labeled.
No wonder she wished for a better eyesight in 20dreams..

Gastonia plans to buy a local residential lot for above its market value just so it can raze the home there and get it out of the way.
City leaders say the price they pay for the property and the demolition will end up saving taxpayers money in the grand scheme of things.
The city's interest in the 0.2-acre lot at 320 N. Sloan Ave. concerns its rehabilitation and replacement of a portion of the Highland Branch sewer outfall. The substantial project in north Gastonia will involve replacing the existing sewer line between Marietta Street and Norment Avenue along the U.S. 321 corridor.
A sewer outfall is critical because it serves as the discharge point of a waste stream into a body of water. The new line the city needs to build will cross the property at 320 N. Sloan Ave. But the location of the home there and the adjacent Highland Branch Creek would present major challenges to doing that, said City Engineer Gary Saine.
Purchasing the lot and tearing down the house will allow the sewer line to be built in a more desirable location there, he said.
The city negotiated with the property owner, Yasma Foster Mackey, and agreed to a $30,000 purchase price. City Manager Michael Peoples said the Gaston County tax value on the lot is $15,276, and a recent appraisal assessed its value at roughly $20,000.
City Councilman David Humphries asked for clarification on why the city was paying a higher amount. Peoples explained that in order to obtain the title, the city will have to clear up a debt owed on the property that exceeded the $20,000 appraised cost.
On top of that, the city would take a much bigger hit by building the sewer outfall around the house, which would require substantial creek stabilization measures, he said.
Given the costs savings through the entire project to avoid mitigation and easement acquisition, we will actually save $30,000 by acquiring the property and demolishing the structure," Peoples said.
Saine said by placing the sewer outfall farther away from the creek, it will also reduce maintenance costs in the future.

Who do you want to rule over? Who would you like to tell when to do something, how to do it, and where to do it? Maybe your siblings? People who annoy you? Sidestepping your dominion and control, who would you like to rule over you?
Humans by nature are social animals. Sociability is one of our capabilities, not just because it shows up in every aspect of our lives, but essentially as part of our nature. Cicero says in his De Amicitia:
"Who would be such a man of iron as to be able to endure such a life?"
He speaks of being a hermit, and the consequences that come with it. Humans avoid those consequences by creating a community or a society turned towards a good--multiple goods. And when a community becomes significantly large and takes up so much land, an organization or some ordered way of reaching the good society wants must be put in place.
That organization is called the state. The state should have one main goal--the good of the people it protects. A ruler, or a government, must protect its people for it to be looking to the end good of all. The state aims at satisfying the needs of the citizens. Politics is directly linked to how we live and the environment we live in. Our lives are partially dictated by the laws of the political system we are under. Part of the reason capitalism works so well as opposed to communism is that the needs of the individual are put over the needs of the general state. Communism is more of a philosophy than a political system.
Ultimately, a government takes three forms: rule of the one, or monarchy; rule of the few, or oligarchy; and rule of the many, or democracy. Each of these forms can be misused as well. Monarchy can be tyranny. Oligarchy can be aristocracy or plutocracy. Democracy can be anarchy.
- Monarchy - Tyranny
- Oligarchy - Aristocracy/Plutocracy
- Democracy - Anarchy
Any and every government falls under these three. Now that we think of politics as a system for our good, we have some requirements for it, a definition of what it should be. There were governments before philosophy shaped and formed it. The Greeks had tyrants, the Britons: chiefs, and the Egyptians, Pharaohs. But the study of politics emerged from philosophy. Hence, the seminal political work was done by philosophers.
Plato addressed politics in his variety of dialogues from the mouth of Socrates, talking about the perfect state and its functions. He creates and evaluative framework for government, but ends up condemning the democracy of his polis as well. (Polis is the Greek term for city-state.) Plato's politics are mostly just illustrations to posit his definitions of morality and justice.
Aristotle, Plato's student, presents a more balanced view of politics in his aptly named Politics. He informed and shaped the view of the three types of government, the perversions of it, and its end. Politics grew out of philosophy, and the two are almost inseparable.
Later on, Augustine's works offer a view on how the church and state should be separate and where they should overlap. Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince discusses economic, social, and military policy and their impact on government. British social contract thinkers like John Locke and Thomas Hobbes provided a very different critiques of their classical predecessors' view of politics as a remedy for the hypothetical "state of nature." Instead, they opted for classical liberalism. Georg W. F. Hegel wrote a comprehensive evaluation of politics in his The Philosophy of the Right, and Karl Marx, with his socioeconomic communism, brought forth one of the most devastating forms of government on the planet.
But the turning point for politics came in the 18th century. A group of forward thinking politicians, with the oppression of monarchy fresh on their minds, created the constitutional republic that is America, basing it on a group of points that promote individualism, equality, freedom, and the idea that the government's end purpose is for the people. Several years later, in defense of the proposed Constitution, they authored a series of papers defending constitutional republican government in America, The Federalist Papers.
Since the American system rose to prominence and political philosophers like Alexis de Tocqueville have praised it, the appeal of equality and individualism crept into the entire world. The French Revolution, largely inspired by the American. The freedom fighters of South America, driven by the hope of an American-style freedom. The fall of the British Empire, mostly countries deciding they wanted to do their own will for themselves.
Politics has grown, settling on what we have today--a group of people being protected enough, both economically and militarily, in order to do what they wish to do. And in some ways, this is true. Governments tend to give people what they desire, as it does not wedge the two into aggressive separation. We are safe now, yes. But nobody wins for long.
The Greek city-states, by their disunity, were conquered and subdued. The Roman Empire, after it licensed immorality and broke apart the family, was assimilated and destroyed. The Franks, after their emperor Charlemagne died, failed to hold together their empire. All political systems fail. Plato theorized in The Republic that governments fail because they fail to adapt and reinvent themselves. James Madison hit much closer to the truth when he said:
"If men were angels, no government would be necessary."
Man is not perfect. Therefore, nothing from man can be perfect. And unless something is built without flaw, probability dictates that flaw will eventually be exploited and the thing in question will either fall apart, or cease to fulfill its purpose. No human will be perfect. No human political system will be perfect. Every single one will fall. Whether it be the people in the system, or some temporal error, it will end. Everything ends.
This all relates to us, as we are all citizens of some state. We are all going to participate or choose not to participate in the political system we are under. As citizens, we have some obligation to it, not just for what it does for us by ensuring our protection, but because it is supposed to train us to think that way. But should we suppose that our duty to the government transcends one's claims to rights that could be asserted against our government? Put simply, what are our rights? Do we put our morals ahead of the state? This harkens back to the idea that there is a universal, moral law--and there is--and that sometimes the state will break or come against that law.
That may be beside the point. We are citizens. Because of that, we have a duty to be involved. To choose our leaders. To even become our leaders. Throughout history, leaders have been raised up and benefited their political systems and the people protected by the political system. All political systems will fail, but they are necessary for protection and the fulfillment of needs. But there is one government that will never fail. It is perfect because its leader is perfect--Christ. To be a leader like that, one has to serve. That is the pattern of the "good life" Aristotle talks about in the very beginning of Politics. Politics is a colossal picture of the good life. That's the universal cry of humanity. And no matter who we are, leaders or citizens, putting others' interests ahead of our own is the good life. Abraham Lincoln expresses it best in the Gettysburg Address.
"Government of the people, by the people, for the people."

With Passover in the air, freedom to enjoy a show, or two
This holiday season, don't pass over these great events around the country, many of them free
Okay, it can no longer be avoided. Passover, that holiday of toil and trouble, and yes, spiritual enlightenment and family unity, is around the corner.
But once the seder is over — or before, for those who don't have terribly onerous cleaning and cooking lists — we've assembled a list of what to do, where to go and what to buy, if you're so inclined, during this slightly more than two-week period.
1) If you're in Jerusalem, head downtown to see "Perspectives," an exhibition of thirteen 3D artworks by local and international artists on the sidewalks of the city. Most of the artwork has already been completed, but the artists will be hanging around their creations, and artist Yonatan Gal is giving a master class at the Museum of Italian Jewish Art on April 25, 26, and 27, at 2:30 p.m., 4 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Head to the Haira site to sign up and for a map of the sidewalk art, which will be available from April 24 through April 29.

Over at the Inbal Hotel, Jewish educational art organization Kol HaOt is hosting its annual Illuminated Haggadah fair on Monday, April 25, with an exhibit of historical haggadahs gathered from around the country, representing themes from the nation's history. There will be lectures and demonstrations by contemporary artists from 8:30 p.m. as they debate whether freedom equals creativity. Entrance to the April 25 fair is free, where there will also be a large selection of different haggadahs for sale. More information is available at the Kol HaOt site.
2) How about a day in Tel Aviv that requires no standing on lines? That's the purpose of the Sail Tel Aviv Jaffa Maritime Sports Festival, where all you have to do — unless you're a skipper or surfer — is cop a squat next to the water (preferably at one of the outdoor cafes or bar where you can sink your toes into the sand with a plate of French fries by your side) and set your eyes on the sailboats, yachts and speedboats taking part in event.
The highlight of this ten-day festival is the large flotilla of pretty much every type of boat that will be sailing on Thursday, April 28 from the Tel Aviv Port at 11:30 a.m., heading across the coastline of Tel Aviv to the Jaffa Port and back again. There will also be a yacht sailing competition, a stand-up paddle-board competition at Gordon Beach, and a kayak competition at Hilton Beach, with an open water swimming race in the earlier part of the morning. For more information, go to the Atarim site, the Tel Aviv maritime organization running the event, for details about registration and participation.
3) If you're looking for a museum day, consider one of the 40 museums and tourist sites open to the public for free during Passover, courtesy of Bank Hapoalim, which is doing this for the 12th year. From Sunday through Wednesday, all sites are open for the entire day. Thursday, April 28, is a half-day. Call *2410 for more information.
4) Head to Haifa this holiday, where the International Haifa Festival for Children's Theater — with dozens of theater performances — is part of 200 events throughout the city on April 24 through April 26, with shows performed in Hebrew and Arabic in this city of Arabs and Jews. Among the local shows are those brought from Italy, Brazil, Finland, France, Germany, Holland, Spain and Portugal.
Besides the free outdoor movies for kids and free entry to the Haifa Zoo, there's something for the adults as well, like soul singer Karolina in the city's Turkish Market and artists along its passageways. The full schedule is available on the Haifa Kids website.
Want to do something on the banks of the Sea of Galilee? Take some time in Tiberias for the Mediterranean Music Festival, another set of free events on April 26 and 27, as local singers such as Lior Narkis, Rotem Cohen, Eyal Golan, Sarit Haddad, Yishai Levy and Aviva Avidan will perform in the city's Barko Park, on the southern outskirts of the city.
5) Back in the country's center, a new exhibit, "Food Processor III" recently opened at Tel Aviv's Sarona Market. Curator Dalit Merhav calls this one "Food as a Method of Passing on a Message," but whether or not you get the message, they're photos that will certainly lead you to a meal in one of the nearby restaurants. ART Gallery, Sarona, 12 David Eliezer, Building 105, NIS 15 per ticket, closing May 2.
And while in Tel Aviv, take the kids to experience some modern dance with Batsheva's Deca'le, a very family-friendly, hour-long performance, although not cheap at NIS 110 per ticket (NIS 20 discount per ticket for members of the Batsheva club). Sunday, April 24, 4 p.m. and 6 p.m., Monday, April 25, 12 p.m. and 2 p.m., Hangar 2, Jaffa port.
If you're hanging around Jaffa, there's an Instrument Festival in Old Jaffa from April 23 through 30 with exhibits, workshops and performances of modern and ancient instruments, appropriate for kids and adults. Go to the Jaffa Museum or Old Jaffa websites for more information, and note that there are combination tickets for the exhibit and workshops.
In the center of the city, the Bialik complex is offering five days of activities for Passover, with tours about the tales of Tel Aviv, a workshop to make Elijah's cup and plays for children.
The plays range in topic and age-appropriateness; "Eliezer Ben Yehuda" is about wordsmith Eliezer Ben-Yehuda (for ages 6 and up), "Bialik A Living Flower" tells the tales of Hayim Nahman Bialik with songs and guitar play (ages 4 and up), "Bialik's Book of Songs" is about the songs and words of the famed poet (ages 3 and up) and "See You in Antarctica" shows Tel Aviv at a different time through the lens of a photographer (ages 4 and up). Plays and other activities on April 20 and April 24-27, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Plays range from 30 to 50 minutes, but will be performed at 11:30 a.m. each day.

1/2 kilo Speckled or kidney beans
1/2 kilo pork ( any part that you like to use)

HiveLive, one of many companies in the business of making social networking software for the corporate environment, has raised another round of funding closely following its first.
Although quite a few other companies are focused on building social networks, HiveLive has a building-block approach that lets users mix in elements of blogging, wikis and other applications. We've written more about it in a story on February 4th.
In the same story, we reported that the company had gotten $2.2 million from angel investors. The $5.6 million second funding was led by Grotech Capital Group, and joined by the company's existing investors.

July 13, 1990, Section C, Page 8Buy Reprints
Current Hollywood thinking extends into the next world, but not very far. Being dead has lately been presented on screen as a character-building experience, but beyond that the current ghost films hedge their bets. The questions of just what ghosts can do, of what effect ghosts may have on others or even of how ghosts regard their new status are seldom even addressed. What seems most important is that ghosts come to the aid of their loved ones, and that the ghost film manages, at least on its own terms, to be sincere.
''Ghost,'' which stars Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore as lovers separated by that great, trend-minded screenwriter in the sky, is nothing if not earnest. It's also eccentric enough to remain interesting even when its ghost story isn't easy to believe. As directed by Jerry Zucker, previously known as part of the three-man directing team behind comedies like ''Airplane!'' and ''Ruthless People,'' ''Ghost'' veers repeatedly from the somber to the broadly comic, with a number of strange but appealingly offbeat digressions along the way. This may, for instance, be the only film with a steamily romantic sequence in which the hero and the heroine get together and make pottery.
''Ghost'' begins by presenting Sam Wheat, an improbably named investment banker (Mr. Swayze), and Molly Jensen, an up-and-coming artist (Ms. Moore), as an idyllically happy New York couple moving into a new loft. But an angel being hoisted into the loft's window, a news report of an airplane crash and even Molly's desire to see a performance of ''Macbeth'' - all these things foretell trouble. Sure enough, Sam and Molly are strolling amorously down a deserted street when a gun-toting mugger appears. Sam's number is up.
The film's attitude about ghosthood is so uncertain that it doesn't allow Sam much chance to adjust. He finds himself in a hospital emergency room, where a fellow ghost (Phil Leeds) talks like a borscht-belt comic; he wanders around dazedly trying to get used to the fact that he can walk through doors and turnstiles. He returns to Molly but can't communicate with her at all. He discovers a terrible secret about a colleague, even though the audience is already miles ahead of him. (For the forseeable future, it looks as though the mere sight of suspenders will be enough to seal a yuppie film character's fate.) Fortunately, the third of the film's three stars is Whoopi Goldberg, the one performer here who seems to have a clear idea of what she's up to. Dressed in a long teased wig and flowing gold robes, Ms. Goldberg plays a disreputable medium named Oda Mae Brown who is horrified to find one of her bogus seances interrupted by a real ghost. Oda Mae becomes Sam's means of communicating with the corporeal world, and Ms. Goldberg plays the character's amazement, irritation and great gift for back talk to the hilt. This is one of those rare occasions on which the uncategorizable Ms. Goldberg has found a film role that really suits her, and she makes the most of it.
Mr. Swayze duly registers all the emotions called for by Bruce Joel Rubin's screenplay, and does best when called upon to look uncomplicatedly stalwart or express himself in some physical way. Ms. Moore combines toughness and delicacy most attractively, but the story requires her to look terminally wistful much of the time. Mr. Zucker's direction needlessly defuses much of what goes on between these two separated lovers by keeping Mr. Swayze on screen too much of the time, so that he's less like a ghost than an albatross in certain scenes. Unable to communicate with the living or even react very much, he must simply sit by helplessly until they finish talking.
Only late in the story, with the help of a strange fellow ghost who inhabits the subway (Vincent Schiavelli), does Sam develop the power to express himself directly, and to wreak revenge on those who have betrayed him. Even at this stage the film has its odd inconsistencies, particularly in a scene for which Mr. Zucker bends the rules of ghosthood to allow the lovers one last dance.
''Ghost'' is too slow moving at times, and a few of its special effects look incongruously silly, particularly those showing what happens to ghosts not as virtuous as Sam. These days, as movie-making logic seems to dictate, it's the nice guys who are allowed to stay.
''Ghost'' is rated PG-13 (''Special Parental Guidance Suggested for Those Younger Than 13''). It includes one sexual sequence and occasional off-color language.
Directed by Jerry Zucker; written by Bruce Joel Rubin; director of photography, Adam Greenberg; edited by Walter Murch; music by Maurice Jarre; production designer, Jane Musky; produced by Lisa Weinstein; released by Paramount Pictures. Running time: 122 minutes. This film is rated PG-13.

Don't use copy commands in EEM applets
I've tried to be a "good citizen" in one of my Embedded Eveng Manager (EEM) applications and used the action 1.1 cli command "copy running-config startup-config" instead of the (supposedly obsolete) action 1.1 cli command "write memory" command. However, as the copy command generates console prompts (unless you turn them off with the file prompt quiet command), it immediately hung my EEM applet.
Moral of the story: use write memory :)

AS @ ISE Amsterdam 2019
Something new is going to happen in Amsterdam….
Architettura Sonora is ready to surprise once again the public at the coming ISE show with other innovations in acoustic design.
In addition to showing our stunning loudspeakers, our pieces of art reproducing sound in the most accurate way (such as the classic Sphere and Cylinders, together with the innovative additions of the last few years: Cubino, SpherinaAir and Spherina Floor),
this year we want to dare and push ourselves towards new implementations of our elements, as well as introducing new possibilities of application.
We're now availing ourselves of the precious collaboration of two most renowned companies in providing professional audio solutions, K-ARRAY and POWERSOFT, that will allow us to experiment with new applications, so to make our elements even more flexible than ever. Besides the great adaptability of our shapes and our materials to any surrounding environment, the wireless and Bluetooth connections (even multi-room …) will now prove the great malleability of application too,
while the dedicated audio-settings ensure great efficiency in terms of acoustic performance.
Last, but not least, we will introduce a brand new speaker: the Icarus integrated model (a subwoofer and a satellite held together through a stylish metallic frame)…stay tuned!
So, we'll wait for you to show you all our news at the ISE Show in Amsterdam (February, 5-8): find us in HALL 5 – stand S50. Pre-register for free here by using our invitation code: 381805.
We're ready to break the limits, being sure to amaze you once again….are you ready too?

Public viewpoints on a proposal for a 10-kilowatt wind turbine on a farm on Long Lane were evenly mixed at a Town Board hearing on the proposal last Thursday, but sentiment on the board appears to lean in favor of the application.
Stephen Mahoney, who owns a farm and nursery just west of Roberts Lane, plans to install the turbine in order to run a well pump to irrigate his plants. Under New York State's Agriculture and Markets law, he is permitted to do so without site-plan review from the town's Planning Board, though the Town Board must grant him a request for a "special permitted use" before he can begin construction.
The public hearing was opened on June 17, but due to an error in notification of Mr. Mahoney's neighbors, was held open for additional comment this past Thursday.
Roy Rakebiesch, of the Westhampton firm Windsine Inc., is planning the installation, which would be the only one of its kind in East Hampton, though the same small windmill, a Bergey Excel, is installed at the Stony Brook Southampton campus.
The windmill would stand on a 120-foot-tall latticework tower in the center of Mr. Mahoney's property. Its blades would be 23 feet in diameter. Mr. Rakebiesch said that Mr. Mahoney expects to save $2,014 per year in energy costs and has already received United States Department of Agriculture grants for the installation of the turbine. He said that the system would likely pay for itself within three years.
In comparison, turbines like a large 100-kilowatt tower in a farm field just off of Route 25 in Laurel have an average diameter of 20 meters, or 65.6 feet.
"It's pretty hard to get these things passed. There's some opposition. We understand that," said Mr. Rakebiesch at the hearing. He added that less than 1 percent of bird fatalities are due to turbines and that research has shown that far more birds die from crashing into windows.
"They know it's there. They can maneuver around," he said.
But some residents who live near the farm said they feared a precedent would be set by allowing a wind turbine in East Hampton and voiced concern for the potential for ground vibrations and visual pollution created by the presence of a wind generator in their backyards.
"I'm 100-percent in support of wind energy, but I strongly disagree that wind turbines should be in residential neighborhoods," said Arthur Krohn, who lives on Fieldview Lane, just blocks from the proposed windmill.
"I've seen giant turbines...I've been within a mile of a turbine and you feel sound going right through you...It's a lower sound. It's not measured in decibels but in hertz. It's a piercing sound, it's recurring and it goes through walls," he said.
Mr. Krohn described "wind turbine syndrome," a condition marked by sleep problems, dizziness and nausea that people who live close to wind farms have experienced.
The town's environmental planner, Joel Halsey, begged to differ. He said that while the frequency of sound produced by the turbine may be different from ambient noise, the noise generated by the Bergey Excel when the wind blows at 25 miles per hour would be between 54 and 55 decibels at 300 feet from the turbine and 53 decibels, around the sound of background noise, at 500 feet from the turbine. He said that the closest residential property line is 375 feet from the turbine and all other neighbors are more than 900 feet away.
Ward Carey, who also lives on Fieldview Lane, also opposed the project.
"This proposal only benefits Steve Mahoney. It does not benefit the community in any way, shape or form," he said, adding that the tower would be 50 percent taller than the Christmas tree that was at Rockefeller Center in New York City last December.
Gould Street resident Matthew Laspia reminded the audience of the dangers of America's oil dependence and urged the board to support the application, as did architect Bill Chaleff, who also lives not far from the site on Cedar Street.
Mr. Chaleff said that, while household appliances operate at 90-percent efficiency, the electric grid works at only 30-percent efficiency.
"Produced locally, distributing power is very much to our community's benefit," he said.
Gordian Raacke of Renewable Energy Long Island agreed.
"People make all sorts of claims," at these types of hearings, he said. "Typically those claims are not scientifically supported. ... Every kilowatt hour is one hour less than has to be generated by oil or gas. There are no benefits to the community? I strongly disagree."
Mr. Raacke offered his group's assistance if East Hampton was to establish a code for wind energy that ensured that the technology was pursued safely.
Frank Dalene of the Hamptons Green Alliance reminded the Town Board that helicopters en route to East Hampton Airport produce far more noise pollution than a small turbine.

Government sources claimed a U.S. cyber attack on Iran following the downing of an American drone near the Strait of Hormuz.
According to Washington Post sources, President Trump greenlit a long-in-the-making cyberattack that took down Iranian missile control computers on the night of 20 June. The reported operation was executed by U.S. Cyber Command (USCC). While the exact impact of the operation isn't clear, it was described as "crippling," according to one anonymous source.
News of the attack likely indicates a new willingness of the Trump administration to use cyber-weapons as a retaliation option. Reports about the alleged cyber offensive came days after word of the U.S. planting offensive malware in Russia's power grid. Earlier this month, national security adviser John Bolton said the U.S. was "broadening the areas" where it was prepared to use cyberwarfare. This trend is not surprising. The administration has long put an emphasis on the information sphere in the context of national security. It was Trump who elevated America's cyber assets to the status of a unified command back in 2017.
Meanwhile, Tehran is denying any U.S. cyber attack on Iran had taken place. "The media are asking about the veracity of the alleged cyberattack against Iran. No successful attack has been carried out by them, although they are making a lot of effort," telecommunications minister Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi tweeted on 24 June. Of course this should not come as a surprise. Even after the infamous Stuxnet worm devastated a fifth of Iran's nuclear hardware, the Mullahs refused to acknowledge the malware produced any serious damage.

Rob and Sileide Martins looked forward to warmer weather and more yard space for their 9-year-old son, Andre, when they moved from Evanston, Ill., to Georgia.
The family relocated for Rob's job as a sales executive at Hitachi Consulting in Atlanta. They weren't familiar with metro area neighborhoods, however, so Mike Toltzis, a real estate agent with Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby's International Realty, showed them more than 20 homes in less than four days.
In Evanston, they lived in an area where they could walk to restaurants and shopping areas. The family was willing to adapt to more trips in the car as they viewed homes in suburban Atlanta. Neighborhoods with a pool and kids were top priorities.
They considered these three homes in the Marietta and Roswell area of Cobb County.
No. 1: Newly updated
The four-bedroom, three-bath home on Creek Haven Drive in Marietta was recently renovated with updated granite countertops in the kitchen, but was missing appliances. The cathedral ceilings, large bathrooms and walk-in closets gave it a fresh feel. The home had a two-story family room with a fireplace and a first-floor guest suite. The house, built in 1998 in the Creekstone subdivision and Lassiter High School district, was listed for $300,000.
No. 2: Ranch in the woods
A four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath house on Skye Trace in Roswell interested the Martins family because of its open kitchen, wood-burning fireplace and modern, spacious bathrooms. The backyard was professionally landscaped with a fenced yard, irrigation system and patio. However, the cedar ranch home needed repairs inside and out. Loch Highland was an older neighborhood, with over 300 houses. Garrison Mill Elementary, Mabry Middle and Lassiter High schools were the assigned schools, and the elementary school was less than a mile away. The home, built in 1984, was listed for $319,900.
No. 3: Charmer on a crest
A four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath on Whitfield Drive in Marietta was a beauty. The home sat on top of a small hill, leaving room for a full basement and two-car garage underneath the main level. The previous owners left a pool table in the basement and trampoline in the fenced backyard. The Whitfield swim and tennis neighborhood also appeared to have less traffic than others they visited. The home was in the Rocky Mount Elementary, Simpson Middle and Lassiter High district. The home, built in 1982, was listed for $339,000.
The choice: No. 3
They originally put an offer in on No. 2, but retreated after the inspection identified a number of repairs. The couple put an offer on the home they purchased about a week after viewing it. They purchased it in July 2015 and have renovated the bathrooms and the kitchen. They are continuing family traditions, like Sunday brunch at restaurants now in nearby downtown Roswell.

text: With CES going on I thought I would take a stroll over to the AVS forums. I'm sure a lot of you here are familiar with them. When Universale (the only exclusive HD-DVD studio) made Zero announcements of coming titles it shocked a lot of HD fans. Here's what some had to say. "Wow... completely shocked here. I'm sitting here looking at the announced lists for the first 3 months of the year. I want brokeback and the mummy returns and the departed. On the other side, there's 14 titles I'd get. I think I'm just buying Universal only for my A2 at this point and going Blu-ray for everything else. My PS3 will be opened on April 24... by B-day." ____________________ "For the first time since I bought my HD-A1 and added over 100 HD DVD discs to my collection, I am going to have to consider curtailing the purchase of any additional titles. I will probably cancel my Amazon pre-orders as well. I have been a huge supporter of the format by purchasing equipment and software with zeal. But Universal's lack of enthusiasm dare I say it... has me turning Blu. I was anticipating some huge announcements but we didn't even get a hint of what is to come. I think the earlier HD DVD announcements were stellar. I predicted the terrific hardware news but I was also depending on Universal to pull out all the stops to help boost HD DVD beyond the first quarter. If this is some sort of strategy, it seems pretty damn foolish to me. I am wondering if they are actually re-considering exclusive support. Regardless of the new Toshiba announcements, losing Universal's exclusive support would certainly deliver a death blow and even I would consider having to make an incredibly painful decision." ________________ "Wow, makes me feel glad I went with HD-DVD before Blu. I was already planning on going neutral and getting a PS3 by the spring, and still loving my HD-DVD, but with this kind of "support", I'm half thinking it may not be a bad idea to sell my HD-A1 to help pay for it." _________________ "exclusivity is a prime factor here. Universal is the only major studio that was backing hd dvd. quite a few bd exclusive movies are being announced. not so for hd dvd. i'm gettin a ps3. not because i want to, but because i have to if i ever want to see these movies in hi def." _________________ "As supporter of both, I have to say that I am dissapointed. Come on, this is CES, where all companies get everyone pumped up about what is to come. Even if Universal plans on releasing 300 titles in the following year, its still a disappointment considering this is CES. I know people will come in here to defend HD-DVD, but face it, today is a gloomy day for HD-DVD no matter how many things you pull out your ass to defend it. I hope they keep releasing universal titles because I want them, but I have a PS3 and I must say that Blu-Ray will definitely be getting most of my money this year. Also I was looking at universals library. And they don't have a "Ton" of hits left in the catalogue, though they do have a decent amount that I will hold on to my A2." ___________________ "Universal, you made me do it. PS3 owner now. No, I'm not abandoning HD DVD. I was a supporter from the get go and will continue to be, own 70+ titles and counting, but life is to short to be playing this waiting game. Many of us held our collective breath for months for OUR Super Bowl, CES. Well, you let me down brother." ___________________ I only wrote about these to show an interesting thing. People who have been supporting HD-DVD from the beginning are not only switching sides, the BD player they prefer to get or already have will be a PS3. Pretty interesting. It seems in the AVS forum there is a heated debate among long time HD-DVD supporters, a lot of them are abandoning support and others trying to convince them to ride it out. But those abandoning support seem very willing to give their money to get a PS3 as it appears BD may become the dominate movie media. If Sony manages to pull this off I will be very impressed. That not only were they able to add BD to their gaming system and help push BD sales, but as BD sales become greater, and the look of support for HD-DVD seems to wain, people are actually willing to by a PS3 to be the BD player. The 2 ideas PS3 and BD are actually helping each other.

On October 24, 2018, as part of the Eurasian Week international forum in Yerevan, a brainstorm session "The future of the EAEU through the eyes of youth" was held.
More than 100 young experts from the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) took part in the discussion. The session was coordinated and moderated by Viktor Shakhmatov, Head, Analytical Support, Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC); Kubatbek Rakhimov, Chairman, Committee on Industrial Policy, Export and Infrastructure, Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Kyrgyz Republic, Yuri Kofner, Head, Eurasian Sector, Center for Comprehensive European and International Studies, National Research University "Higher School of Economics".
The experts drew attention to a number of aspects that must be considered when developing the image of the future of the Union. In particular, the composition of the member states, possible trade and economic agreements with third countries, the place of the Union in the global economic architecture, the possible depth and nature of future integration: whether it is necessary to expand the powers of the EEC, whether the integration agenda should inlcude social and cultural issues of cooperation.
The participants were divided into ten teams and developed their models of the future EAEU. They supported their concepts with slogans and hashtags, illustrations and diagrams.
The first place was shared by two teams. One of them presented an image of the future of the EAEU in the form of a ship, which symbolizes that the countries of the Union are moving towards the same goal in the ocean of globalization. "Towards the welfare of the people through integration and trust" – this slogan, in the opinion of the young participants, reflects the future of the EAEU. Uniform quality standards, a unified transport system, the deepening of cooperative ties, including in the cultural and humanitarian space, are all signs of the Union of the future, in which active, enterprising, creative and peace-loving people will live.
According to the second winning team, the strength of the EAEU is in its uniqueness. The participants presented their concept in the form of a spiral, which included residents of the Union. The spiral personifies the continuing improvement of the Union.
Other variations of the future EAEU include close cooperation with the European Union, a significant expansion in the number of member states of the Union, the formation of a political Union and a common visa space. Other slogans were: "EAEU – the path to unlimited opportunities", "EAEU: comfortable – for business, friendly – for people, open – for the world" and others.
The authors of the best projects will have the opportunity to do an internship at the EEC in Moscow.

Harrisonburg, VA-The Salem College basketball team rebounded from their first loss of the season with a blowout win in their second game at the Eastern Mennonite Tournament today. Salem's big third quarter led them to a 75-62 win over Hilbert. Sabrina Shepherd dropped 30 points in the win. Salem is now 2-1 overall, while Hilbert falls to 0-3.
Salem jumped out early with an 11-5 lead and then held a 13-11 advantage after the first quarter. Hilbert went on a run to start the second quarter and held a 25-20 lead, before Salem finished the half on an 11-4 run. The Spirits continued their run in the third quarter as they started the quarter on a 24-11 run and they held a 55-43 lead after 3 quarters.
Mikayla Seivers added 19 points and led the team with 6 assists. Tarryn Johnson had a strong night off the bench with 9 points and a team-leading 9 rebounds. Shepherd was an impressive 5 for 9 from three-point land.
Salem returns home on Tuesday as they host Roanoke in non-conference action at 6:00.

Big screens, big drinks, big action: Scrooge (Itaewon)
Re-located to the more convenient main Itaewon street (above the ABC shoe store on the same side as the Hamilton Hotel) two years ago, Scrooge has been a mainstay of the sporting community in Seoul for a decade now. The bar focuses not only on local events – it sponsors darts and pool teams in their respective leagues – but also focuses on bringing international events to Itaewon, with everything from rugby and cricket to American football and Formula 1. Recent major events included the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight with a full Scrooge breakfast menu and the Super Bowl (the last few minutes of which are likely to be remembered for some time to come).
With five large flat-screen TVs and a 100-inch HD projector screen, you will be hard-pressed NOT to have a clear view of the action. The bar has even set up one screen so that smokers can still keep an eye on the action while having a puff. With so many screens, almost any sports event can be shown live and staff take requests where possible. The bar fits 80 people comfortably, with the pool table sacrificed when busy to allow for more spectators, and with opening times from 4pm 'til late on weekdays and 2pm 'til late on weekends, there is plenty of opportunity to watch Rugby World Cup games either live or on replay. And fans of any team will be able to get a slice of the action; as owner Mark Jones points out, "We are an equal opportunity rugby supporter."
Sport can only offer so much sustenance without the right kind of food and beverage, meaning that Western-style pub grub including pizzas, burgers, chicken wings (which take on an "insane" element on a Tuesday night), ribs, and chili cheese fries are among the favorites. Featured drinks such as Friday's Four Horsemen shots special go hand in hand with the bar's other famous concoctions and, with over ten beers on tap including Guinness, Erdinger, Ark, and Kilkenny and special shots planned for the Rugby World Cup, there is sure to be plenty of life in whichever game you head to Scrooge for.

NICOSIA, March 29. /TASS/. Hijacking of the EgyptAir plane that landed at Larnaca airport in Cyprus earlier today is not a terrorist attack, Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades said on Tuesday.
Among the hostages are the pilot, second pilot, flight hostess and a security officer, the minister said at a news conference.
The hijacker, Ibrahim Samaha, has made no clear demands so far, he said, adding that the talks are ongoing. Fathy also refused to reveal any more details on what is going on at the Larnaca airport due to "security reasons."
A plane is currently heading from Cairo to Larnaca to evacuate the released passengers.
- AFP: Five more hostages released from hijacked EgyptAir plane
- Media: EgyptAir hijacker seeks to talk to ex-wife, woman heading to Larnaca airport
- All passengers of hijacked plane freed except for crew and 4 people — EgyptAir
- Talks underway with hijacker of EgyptAir plane — Russian embassy
- Hijacker of EgyptAir plane allows around 50 passengers to leave aircraft — media
The EgyptAir domestic flight from Alexandria to Cairo was hijacked by Egyptian national Ibrahim Samaha, the Al Arabiya TV channel reported earlier. The hijacker planned to fly to Turkey but the plane landed in Cyprus due to the lack of fuel, the report said. Al Ahram said the hijacker is a professor of veterinary medicine at Alexandria University.
EgyptAir said there were 81 passengers on board the hijacked plane en route from Alexandria to Cairo. The Al Arabiya TV channel reported that 21 foreign citizens were among the passengers of the plane, including US and British citizens.
The Greek media earlier said the motives of the hijacker may be linked to his private life as he demanded a meeting with his ex-wife, a resident of Cyprus.
"Cypriot authorities are taking the woman to the airport to speak with the man. He has demanded to give a 4-page letter to the woman," the protothema.gr reported.
The woman's name is reportedly Marina Paraschou.

Is your family feeling overwhelmed by clutter?
You're not alone.
According to a recent survey, "Eighty-four percent of recently stressed Americans say they worry that their home isn't clean or organized enough, and within that group, 55 percent called it out as a source of recent stress."
While it's important to continuously take steps to donate or discard belongings that are no longer needed, some homes are just too small (and some budgets too tight) to accommodate the needs of larger families.
However, since families have found that self-storage units are readily available in almost every neighborhood at an affordable price, they have been renting them to keep their active lifestyles organized and their homes clutter-free during the fall and winter months with much success.
Seasonal Clothing
Instead of trying to pack up seasonal clothing to keep within closets and garages, families place their clothing (neatly marked) into bins within a storage rental, enabling them to use space within their homes for their larger winter wardrobes.
Seasonal Furniture
Live in an area where the winter weather can be particularly rough? Some families choose to keep their seasonal furniture and outdoor items within climate-controlled storage to ensure they remain in tip-top shape during the colder months.
Sports Equipment
With more and more families enjoying the outdoors, large sports equipment such as kayaks and camping gear can be safely kept in rented storage, which is under 24-7 video surveillance.
Pool & Garden
Temporary pool? Lawn equipment? Gardening supplies? By keeping them secure within a storage center, families can maximize space within their sheds or garages for items they need for fall and winter (snow blower, anyone?).
Seasonal Decor
Families who love to decorate for fall and winter can easily store spring and summer decor within a separate storage area, helping to make sure their home does not become overwhelmed by unnecessary items each holiday season.
Hobbies & Interests
Scrapbooking, sports memorabilia and other family hobbies can certainly take up a lot of space. Unless families have a large area within their home to store each collection, keeping items securely locked away within a rental unit helps to minimize clutter.
By keeping items within a storage facility, families are able to have their home stay in tip-top shape, maximizing the space they have without breaking the bank. This season, consider how you and your family may benefit by renting a self-storage unit in your area to enjoy a warm, cozy and clutter-free fall!

Rain, snow, hail and south easters. Cape Town winters. Snuggling under the covers with a good book. Hot chocolates and toasted marshmallows. Constantly brainstorming activities to keep kids from just watching television and generally driving you crazy.
And then one morning, instead of the grey gloomy sky, sunshine peeks through your curtains and the heavens are blue. Windows and doors are swung open allowing the fresh air and sun in. Roundabouts creek to life and giggling children run wild.
We grabbed the opportunity to get the girls out in the sun and do some shell activities we never got round to in the summer days (mostly because it was so warm and they would always gun straight for the water).
Down to Queens Beach with some twine and scissors. Hunting for shells with holes to string and make necklaces.
Frolicking in the shallow waters till everyone was in their knickers splashing away... and of course: we didn't pack in any towels.... but hey, these memories are priceless.
