by CARL ELDRIDGE The majority of press coverage of the Arsenal this morning is obviously taken up by the 1-0 win at Fulham at Craven Cottage yesterday as you can imagine.
And it's young Gunners keeper Vito Mannone who gets rave reviews after an astounding performance kept Roy Hodgson's side at bay.

text: Hey guys, I know this is a really stupid question, but I've tried googling and nothing came up. I also tried IRC, but it was too crowded and I didn't get much useful information. I'm using Python 2.5 on WinXP, and I'm trying to do a relative import. Here's the package structure A/ __init__.py aneededmodule.py [some more modules] B/ __init__.py anothermodule.py anothermodule.py needs to use aneededmodule.py; package A's __init__.py looks like this: from aneededmodule import somestuff My problem is that when anothermodule tries to import ..aneededmodule or ..somestuff (because somestuff was imported into __init__), I get a ValueError: Attempted relative import in non-package. What's my problem? This seems like something very trivial, but I've never had to use python for a project of this size before, so I've never dealt with this. Thanks for your help, -Pat

Talk about perfect timing.
As Bulls fans awakened to painful memories of watching the team suffer the most embarrassing of losses to the Milwaukee Bucks at the United Center on Monday night, Tuesday morning adidas launched the sixth episode of 'The Return" series that is sure to make people more anxious than ever for Derrick Rose to come back.
The title of this episode is called "All In" and Rose talks about how he wanted the entire series to let his fans know who he was as a person.
"I'm not doing it for me. I'm doing it for my fans," he says. "They are my fans for a reason."
From there Rose talks about how his fans have told him how much the videos have inspired them and then goes on to touch on the different elements of his rehab and how hard he's trying to get back.
But it's what he says at the end of the video – especially in the wake of the Milwaukee loss – that should really get fans amped up.
"[Basketball is] my life, that's what you're not understanding. I would die on that court. Like, die. I'm gonna go all in for it."
The Bulls could've used someone with that kind of attitude on Monday night. Get well soon, Derrick.
Sincerely, Bulls fans everywhere.

At the end of October last year, I decided I needed a break. I had been floundering with inconsistent posts and catch-up entries that were boring to read and didn't reflect what I wanted in my site. Sure, they were nice updates for my family and friends, but that was about it.
I felt a bit like the trees outside. I had shed all my ideas and only had a few bare branches of thought left to hold me over until winter.
I Felt a Little Lost . . .
I wanted my site to mean something, and I couldn't remember what I wanted it to mean. Was it a recipe blog for college students and young moms who didn't know how to cook? Was it a book review blog for avid readers craving another world? Was it an instructional blog for DIY-ers?
Even now, as I think about relaunching my site with a shiny new theme over a year later, I'm not entirely sure what my focus should be. I only know that I want to start again, and again, and possibly again, until find what makes my blog truly mine, or MINE so to speak. Not a carbon copy of someone else's Pinterest board.
I want my blog to be a reflection of me, which means I'll need to put a lot more thought into my posts and take more time to discover what makes my voice different from any other writer on the Internet.
And it also means I'll take a closer look at my life and find other ways I can start fresh, too.
My Goals for Now
As part of my efforts to turn over a new leaf (so to speak), I'm thinking about trying the following:
Write More Consistently
I work from home, and lately my schedule fluctuates based on the tasks I receive and when I receive them. When my tasks come in at odd times, my blogging takes a back seat until I can catch up with all the other articles I have to write.
I'd love to write more consistently, so I want to make a goal to write one solid post every two weeks (one week if I can manage it, but two to stay flexible).
Wake Up at a Reasonable Hour
Once again, working from home has its perks. I love nothing more than sleeping in and staying warm in my comfy blankets. And I never enjoyed driving to an office every morning.
But when I sleep in too late, I feel groggy, and I often avoid working until the late afternoon. On the days I do manage to wake up early, I somehow finish everything I wanted to do in about half the time.
At the moment, I'm aiming for about 9:30 every morning, but ideally I'd like to wake up at 8:00 or even earlier.
Tidy Rather Than Clean
Anyone who knows me well knows that I love a clean workspace. Whenever I find clutter on my desks or tables or see dishes in the sink, I can't focus until it's neat again.
On the other hand, I tend to have a lot of days where I don't feel like doing anything at all. And on those days, the dishes pile up and the laundry seems to grow at an alarming rate. When I finally get back to my usual chores, I end up spending hours and hours thoroughly cleaning every inch of my house.
I think to stay focused, I should make an effort to tidy something every day, so the house stays neat without too much work on my part. Then, I'll have a lot more time to focus on the things I want to do.
What Are Your Goals?
I know not many people read my blog right now, so I don't expect too many answers to this post. But I do like the occasional social interaction—it lets me know that I'm on the right track and that somebody in the vast world wide web cares what I have to say.
Since every month, every week, every day, and every hour is an opportunity to start fresh, do you have any goals in mind? If so, please feel free to list them below!

of your life than you have ever imagined. If you
are a typical woman, you probably own several silver
necklaces, bracelets, rings, and other jewelry pieces.
Many men are fond of sterling silver neck chains,
bracelets and rings. On special occasions, you put

questions that our customers have asked over the years
about silver.
Tired of fighting tarnish? Consider
sterling silver products made of Argentium®, a new
sterling alloy that contains germanium. This
element makes sterling tarnish-resistant. (Go
To Article)
Of course, this new alloy is not going to
help you deal with the tarnish on products you already
own. With simply storage and display strategies,
you can get the upper hand on sterling silver tarnish!
To Article)
Think you are allergic or skin-sensitive
to silver? You very well could be. But did you
know that many people react to silver, gold and other
jewelry items because of nickel in the alloy used?
To Article)
If you can sculpt in clay, you can sculpt
with silver. The family of silver PMC products
gives artists and jewelry makers an exciting way to
create! (Go

2012 'Burning hearts': Melodised narration of pain and loss among the Yezidis of Armenia
Paper at the conference Illness Narratives revisited: From the Semiotics of Language to the Materiality of Speech, Oxford, 6-8 December.
An International conference at Green Templeton College of the University of Oxford, organised by Medical Anthropology at the Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology and The Health Experience Group in the Primary Care Department, University of Oxford together with the Working Group Medical Diversity at the MPI for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity, Goettingen.
The study of illness narratives has been one of the most important contributions of medical anthropology to the understanding of patient's experiences of sickness (Kleinmann, Good, Cohen). It has been used in health research to enable patients, families, carers and healthcare professionals to learn about the view of the patients, as for instance in the award-winning website of the DIPEx charity (http://www.healthtalkonline.org).
It has furthermore shed light on aesthetic and moral forms in clinical encounters which can take on narrative structures (Mattingly). Other studies on the significance of language in therapies have investigated the ways in which patients reproduce sickness categories in constructing their subjectivities (Hacking, Young), and how the appropriation of specific genres of speaking about threatening bodily states helps people to come to terms with distress and suffering (Skultans).
Non-verbal aspects of communication have been addressed by medical anthropologists who have looked into embodied forms of knowledge in healing rituals (Csordas, Lambek, Guerts) and how experts establish their authorities through specific terminologies (Hsu).
Building on this rich work, the workshop proposes to think about semiotics and the meaning of language in two different streams of inquiry. The first concerns the experiences of specific bodily conditions and how these produce particular ways of narrativisation. The second concerns language use in therapeutic settings and encounters, by including sensorial and material aspects which shape the therapeutic encounter, inclusive of the objects and layout of the space in which it takes place.
Materialities, as they have been addressed in Science and Technology Studies can include the architecture, and the technical infrastructure of therapeutic places, which produce specific ways of speaking and interacting. It can also include technological devices and pharmaceutical objects which are associated with the treatment of particular bodily conditions.
The materiality of speech can be seen referring to the prosody, rhythm and velocity of speech, taking account of the entirety of the event involving practitioners, patients and their paraphernalia. In regard to illness narratives, materiality of speech concerns the ways how the experiences of the treatment process and the embodied knowledge about the condition are related to ways of speaking about it and expressing emotions.
The workshop will ensemble presentations which combine a discussion of the meaning and semiotics of language with a focus on the situational circumstances in which people make utterances in different therapeutic settings, as well as after they have undergone treatment (including biomedical and non-biomedical) and from different theoretical and methodological angles.
By bringing together medical doctors, medical sociologists and anthropologists we aim with this workshop to create an interdisciplinary dialogue on narratives and speech in health and healing processes.
Conference organisers: Prof. Elisabeth Hsu, ISCA, University of Oxford / Prof. David Parkin, All Souls College, University of Oxford / Dr. Kristine Krause, MPI MMG, Göttingen / Dr. Louise Locock, Department for Primary Health care, University of Oxford / Prof. Laurie Maguire, Magdalen College, University of Oxford / Prof. Gabi Alex, University of Tübingen

We talk quite a bit about budgets. However, just as we are all different, so are the types of budgets that work. If you find that a basic budget is really not for you, you might want to look into the 50/30/20 budget.
What I love about this type of budget is that it really can work where other budgets have failed. It is easy to use and is not as stringent as other budgets, which is why it works better for many.
The 50/30/20 budget is where you look at your income (after taxes) and make sure that no more than 50% goes towards paying your fixed expenses; 30% of your income is used towards discretionary spending and an additional 20% is saved. Sounds pretty easy, doesn't it? Let me show you the practical application of putting this rule into place.
The 50/30/20 Budget at Work
Let's say that your take-home pay is $3,000 every month. Here is what your budget might look like. (Keep in mind, this budget does not include each and every item that your family pays for, including charitable donations, additional vehicle payments, hobbies, etc. It was kept very short and sweet to make it easy to follow).
Fixed expenses
Mortgage/Rent = $875
Phone = $75
Utilities = $200
Vehicle insurance = $85
Vehicle payment = $200
Credit card bills = $50
Total = $1,485 (49.5% of budget)
Discretionary spending
Groceries = $600
Auto fuel = $150
Restaurants = $75
Clothing = $75
Entertainment = $50
Haircuts = $25
Total = $975 (32.5% of budget)
Retirement savings = $200
College savings = $165
General savings fund = $200
Total = $565 (19% of budget)
As you can see from this example, fixed expenses and savings are a bit less than the desired percentages and discretionary is higher — but they are close to those amounts.
What is great about this type of budget is that you can change the percentages to make them work for you. So, if you need to set 60% for fixed and 15% for savings, that leaves 25% for discretionary spending.
Those who seem to do better with this type of budget are people who do not have a regular income. For instance, it may be useful if you're paid an hourly rate with a fluctuating schedule or have commission-driven income. This budget is also not as specific when it comes to amounts to spend.
Should you use this budget?
If you are trying to get out of debt, I really would not recommend this type of budget. You need to see exactly where every single penny goes each month so you know what you can put towards paying off your debts. (Remember, high amounts of debt can hurt your credit scores. You can see how your debts may be affecting your standing by viewing your free credit scores, updated every 14 days, on Credit.com.)
Instead, I would use the 50/30/20 Rule if you are debt-free and really do spend more than the same amounts on discretionary items every single month.

If creativity in the organisation features in your leadership vision, you must read this. A top team of researchers from Harvard and three other top US universities found concrete evidence that creative thought is consistently preceded by being in a good mood.
The reason why this study matters is that it wasn't conducted in a lab or some other experimental setting, but in the workplace where people were using creative thinking to solve problems in their work. They analysed over 11,000 daily diaries kept by 222 employees in seven companies over a long period of time, and found 'consistent evidence of a positive relationship between positive emotion and creativity'. These people weren't relentlessly positive and there was plenty of evidence of negative moods – but they didn't find a negativity-creativity link.
Then there was more…the people who'd been creative experienced more positive emotion and there was some evidence that the reaction of others to the creativity caused more positivity as well; a potentially powerful organisational effect.
So how could you encourage your team to be in a good mood?

Two new Fuxing trains debuted on the country's busiest route, the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail link, in June, cutting the journey time between the two cities from five hours to four hours, 28 minutes.
Wolf Warriors 2 breaks China box office records
Chinese martial artist Wu Jing's sequel to his 2015 film becomes the highest-earning film ever at the mainland box office of 2017.

China's RYB kindergarten abuse claims stir up public outrage
A kindergarten in Beijing is under investigation following child abuse claims.
Allegations that children were "sexually molested, pierced by needles and given unidentified pills" at the RYB kindergarten in Beijing rocked China's booming childcare industry, as well as the country's netizens.
A 22-year-old female teacher at the kindergarten was detained, while the principal of the facility was sacked. A 31-year-old woman was arrested for spreading rumours that a military regiment was involved in the case.
The Beijing Municipal Commission of Education later instructed that every kindergarten in Beijing will be assigned one educational inspector to oversee operations.

Net Profit for Q2 2008-09 was Rs. 2,961 million, as against Rs. 4,665 million in the same period last year. The reduction in Net Profit has been mainly due to a rise in material costs, adverse impact of currency changes and a higher provision for depreciation, owing to more stringent depreciation norms adopted by the company in March 2008.

Net Sales (Net of Excise) for the first half (H1) of the fiscal (Apr-Sept 2008) were Rs. 95,373 million, a growth of 13 per cent compared to the same period of the previous year. Net Profit for H1 08-09 stood at Rs. 7,620 million, compared to Rs 9,661 million in the same period last year.
Unit Sales
The company's total sales during H1 (Apr-Sept 2008) stood at 382,035 units as compared to 360,994 units in the same period the previous year. This reflected a growth of 5.8 per cent.

During H1 08-09, the company exported 30,236 units against 24,236 units last year same period, a growth of 24.8 per cent.
The company's domestic sales in A3 (sedans) segment grew to 18,849 units in H1 08-09, showing a marked increase of 33 per cent over the same period last year.
Despite the tough macro economic situation, models like Swift and DZire continue to show strong sales.
The company has increased production of the Swift and Swift Dzire to meet higher customer demand. The company is laying special focus on growing customer segments, including corporates, rural households and government employees.
The company will launch its premium compact car, A Star next month in the Indian market.
For the 9th consecutive year, customers have rated Maruti Suzuki as number one in Customer Satisfaction in the survey by JD Power Asia Pacific. This is a reflection of continued customer confidence in our products and services.
The company is enhancing its focus on its cost reduction programs, companywide as well as with business associates.
The company increased its total production capacity to one million units at the Gurgaon and Manesar manufacturing facilities. Earlier this week, the company also inaugurated the new generation KB series engine plant in Gurgaon.

Women's Music Industry Horror Stories: Abuse, Sexism, and Erasure
Women took to Twitter to share their tales of music biz struggles. Their heartbreaking stories paint a disturbing portrait of an industry rife with misogyny.
On Monday, Pitchfork Senior Editor Jessica Hopper asked the Twitterverse: "Gals/other marginalized folks: what was your 1st brush (in music industry, journalism, scene) w/ idea that you didn't 'count'?" What followed were hundreds of responses, mostly detailing the tragic timeline of any chick who dares to like music, thus infringing on the safe spaces of country bros and alt-rock dudes. Hopper's retweets tell a pretty predictable story: girl develops interest in a music scene, girl is endlessly scrutinized and told that her fandom is illegitimate/invalid, girl is mistaken for a groupie or a girlfriend, girl is harassed/groped/assaulted at shows.
Various tropes are repeated over and over again, like a riff you've heard too many times before: an aspiring bassist being told by a music teacher that bass is for boys, or a teenager being asked by her dubious male classmates to recite a band's entire discography in order to prove her fan cred. The narrative gets even more disturbing and specific when you start charting the testimonials of women who pursued careers as musicians, sound engineers, executives, and journalists. The recurring message is that, for women, the music industry is a Banksy-designed Choose Your Own Adventure book, with each career path containing its own lady-specific land mines.
Rampant misogyny is the music industry's worst kept secret. Recently, legendary rapper—and the richest musician on the planet—Dr. Dre finally apologized for a lifetime of physical and emotional abuse against women. The apology stemmed from outrage over Straight Outta Compton, the N.W.A biopic, which topped the box office without addressing Dre's problematic past. In her essay "Here's What's Missing From Straight Outta Compton: Me and the Other Women Dr. Dre Beat Up," rapper and television personality Dee Barnes described the night in 1991 when Dre "straddled me and beat me mercilessly on the floor of the women's restroom." Dre later told Rolling Stone, "It ain't no big thing—I just threw her through a door." He pleaded no contest to Barnes's assault charges and settled with her out of court for an undisclosed sum.
Dre's history of violence against women was similarly uncontested. Everyone knew that Dr. Dre beat up women—they just didn't really care. Michel'le, an R&B singer and Dr. Dre's former girlfriend, explained, "I've been talking about my abuse for many, many years, but it has not gotten any ears until now," before detailing how her relationship with one of hip-hop's greats left her with "black eyes, a cracked rib and scars." Singer Tairrie B is Dre's third known music industry victim—the rapper punched her twice in the face at a Grammys after party in 1990. Straight Outta Compton director (and Barnes's ex-cameraman) F. Gary Gray explained away the exclusion of these incidents by insisting that "we had to make sure we served the narrative… it wasn't about side stories."
The injustices that women face in the music industry range from micro ("no, I'm not dating someone in the band, and no, I don't want to date you") to debilitating (assault and/or constant fear of violence).
After decades of having his assault history dismissed as extraneous, Dr. Dre's short New York Times apology feels like an insultingly small price to pay for his barely blemished legacy. Dre is currently enjoying the success of his new album Compton; the sale of his unfortunately named music company, Beats by Dr. Dre, made him the self-proclaimed "first billionaire in hip-hop." Meanwhile, Dee Barnes was "blacklisted" from the industry by hip-hop insiders who didn't want to jeopardize their relationships with the all-powerful D-R-E.
Straight Outta Compton doesn't just erase Dre's female victims—it also denies the influence of his female contemporaries. Female artists like J.J. Fad, Jewell, The Lady of Rage, Michel'le, and Tairrie B are notably absent from the biopic. Apparently, any woman who isn't a half-naked groupie or a video girl is chopping block fodder in F. Gary Gray's interpretation of the hip-hop world. While the history of women in hip-hop runs parallel to the story that Straight Outta Compton tells, it's effectively silenced. When N.W.A's swagger is so amplified, and Dr. Dre's apology so well-executed as to appear almost sincere, it's easy to ignore the female artists and victims who have spent decades screaming to be heard. Imagine an industry where the presence of women is not only discouraged, but also flat-out denied—that's the vision that earned F. Gary Gray a $24.2 million opening day.
In her essay, Barnes writes that, "Accurately articulating the frustrations of young black men being constantly harassed by the cops is at Straight Outta Compton's activistic core. There is a direct connection between the oppression of black men and the violence perpetrated by black men against black women. It is a cycle of victimization and reenactment of violence that is rooted in racism and perpetuated by patriarchy." That being said, labeling hip-hop culture (i.e. black men) as the main source of music industry misogyny is a gross misreading of the cycle that Barnes is describing. No, black men are not inherently more violent—no, movie theaters, you do not have to request increased security in preparation for black fans at Straight Outta Compton showings.
Obviously, hip-hop is a handy scapegoat for #AllLivesMatter advocates and their similarly addled forebears. Making America great again all too often seems to involve chastising rappers for violent videos, while ignoring the deeply dysfunctional music cultures flourishing just left of the dial. What Hopper's Twitter disruption does so well is highlight how misogyny plagues the music industry at large. As any college-aged girl will tell you, a penchant for alternative scenes and liberal politics can often mask some abhorrently outdated ideas about gender. A Bikini Kill T-shirt does not a male feminist make. The initial betrayal comes when a female outsider leaves mainstream scenes on a quest for a more niche set of sounds and sites—only to find that even in the big wide alternative world, women are still ostracized as other and less than.

1. Structural Plans
Once the contract has been signed and the project start date has been set, the next step is to create a set of structural plans. Our on staff plan specialist puts together a comprehensive set of building plans. Upon completion a set of plans are emails to the homeowner, construction manager, and lead carpenter.
2. Permits
After the plans have been created and reviewed by the home owner and building team, we take the plans, permit application, property plat, tree affidavit, and any other required materials to the department of permits and obtain a building permit. Most jurisdictions offer Fast Track permitting services and permits can be obtained in one business day. Others, however, can take up to two weeks depending on the type of project.
3. Miss Utility
A week before the construction is to begin our office manager sets up an appointment with Miss Utility to spray all utility lines and make sure there are no obstructions underground.
4. Pre-Construction meeting
At the pre-construction meeting all parties involved in the build will be preset: the home owner, the lead carpenter, the electrician, the construction manager, and the salesman. We go over the build from start to finish. We discuss building schedule, parking locations, where to park vehicles, special pet considerations, etc. We review the final building plans and set goal dates for the various aspects of the project.
5. Inspections
All inspections are scheduled by Design Builders Inc. For the typical project we will get: 1. footing inspection 2. framing inspection 3. electrical rough-in inspection 4. roofing close-in inspection 5. final inspection.
6. Project Manager
Our construction manager is responsible for all the behind-the-scene work on our projects. The CM orders all material, coordinates all trash removal, oversees construction, creates the building schedule, and oversees quality control.
7. Final Walkthrough
Before the final walk through, we will ask for a punch list. After the punch list has been completed, the project has been thoroughly cleared of building debris, and the home owner if happy with the finished product, we will set up a final project walkthrough. We will also ask for the home owner to complete a survey and provide feedback on our building process. At this point, the warranty coverage begins, and our one year walk through is scheduled.

**Giveaway Closed 5/31/12**
My favorite thing to drink when it's cold out is always red wine. I don't know if it's because of the time I spent in Italy, but ever since I got back from being abroad, red wine always seems like the perfect drink, whether it's over a long meal, after a long day, before bed…
But when it's warm out, I can't even think about having red wine without getting sleepy and what I really want is a cool and refreshing cocktail. Give me an icy glass of muddled mint in a mojito and I'll love you forever.
So when I received, Slushed!, I was beyond excited. Just in time for the warm summer months, this book goes beyond the standard cocktail by featuring recipes for frozen boozy treats suitable for any and every occasion. These recipes combine the best of both worlds: when it's sweltering hot out and you're craving an ice cream cone to cool off but also want something to give you a little bit of a buzz, this book has you covered with recipes for granitas, boozy popsicles, and even drunken frozen yogurt!
This past weekend we had Homecoming and it was also one of the first really warm weekends here in Baltimore. Since I had friends in from out of town and wanted to do something to celebrate, and the air conditioning provided little relief, I thought it'd be the perfect time to try out a recipe from this great new book! The only hard part was choosing what to make. Cookies and cream has always been my favorite ice cream, so I thought this would be a good place to start. It was the perfect treat after a long day in the sun and a great way to kick off May and celebrate the fact that summer is almost here!
Comment below for a chance to win your very own copy of Slushed!. To enter, you must leave a separate comment for each entry below:

In the mid-1970s the East German (GDR) government commissioned sixteen established artists to produce paintings for the gallery in the Palast der Republik. Wolfgang Mattheuer, one of the most well-known and independent painters in East Germany, was among the participants in this prestigious project. However, he contributed a picture that could be interpreted as a critique of undesirable social and political developments.
Set under a surreally broad sky, the background to the painting Good Day presents a landscape which at first glance appears idyllic; suffused with light, it extends to the horizon. However, on closer inspection the scene proves to be a sprawling industrial town characterized by deep open faced mines, factory complexes crowned with chimneys, and broad streets. It is engulfing the countryside and destroying its natural contours. In the shaded foreground a family of three poses on a barren piece of land. An opulently flowering garden on the other side of a closely spaced picket fence remains inaccessible to them.
Good Day is one of Wolfgang Mattheuer's (1927–2004) main works, bearing witness to the ambivalent relationship between art and politics in a dictatorship. As a commissioned work, it served the political leaders' desire for prestige and international standing. However, the style and composition of the painting's symbolically charged and ambiguous pictorial motifs means that it can be interpreted as a critique of the political situation and, in particular, the contrast between ideological claims and the reality of life in East Germany.
However, reducing the work to a critique of the political system and of developments in East Germany at that time would fall short: Mattheuer's depiction of ruthlessly expansive industrialization presented a universal cautionary image for similar undesirable developments in many settings, thus pointing to the ubiquitous problem of ever-greater environmental destruction by human beings. In this respect, Good Day has lost none of its contemporary relevance. Following the fall of the Berlin Wall in autumn 1989, which heralded a political Wende or turning point, Mattheuer described this aspect of his painting as follows:
"I see … more painfully than some others, the brutality with which our industries are chewing up the countryside … More ruthlessly than back in the nineteenth century … even worse, because in our era it has become clear where the limits lie, not only to our resilience but to that of nature."
Moreover, the painting exemplifies an important tradition in the history of the site, which for centuries was lavishly furnished with important works of art, providing a magnificent backdrop for cultural events. Irrespective of the political constellation, art always served the purpose of political self-portrayal. According to the official notion of what the palace gallery would be like, the paintings were intended to express "the growing international importance of the GDR in the world and the idea of socialism as a unifier of peoples, with special reference to the friendship with the Soviet Union", while also showing "the potential for poetic expression and the rich variety of painterly ideas".
This leads to the question of what conditions will determine the art to be presented in the Humboldt Forum in future, and what purpose the Kunst am Bau scheme, whereby works are commissioned by a public institution, should fulfil in the twenty-first century. Who or what do these works of art represent and what do they tell us about contemporary political and social relations?
The painting Good Day now belongs to the Federal Republic of Germany and has been held in storage by the Deutsches Historisches Museum since 1995. All sixteen paintings from the Palast der Republik were last shown together in 2017/18 in an exhibition at Museum Barberini in Potsdam. In the Humboldt Forum the work will be shown as one of around forty "Traces", which will highlight varied aspects of the site's history at surprising locations throughout the building.
From the collection of the Stiftung Deutsches Historisches Musuem and on loan from the Federal Republic of Germany. In future the work will be on display on the second floor of the Humboldt Forum in an exhibition about the history of the site.
The painting Guten Tag ("Good Day") by Wolfgang Mattheuer (1927 – 2004) was one of the works in the portrait gallery in the main foyer of the Palace of the Republic, which opened in 1976 and was closed down in September 1990. On 23 March 1993, a joint committee of the Federal Government and the Berlin Senate resolved to tear down the building. Wolfgang Mattheuer reported that he attempted to buy back his painting in response to a communiqué sent out to all the participating artists, but that his request was denied. In accordance with Section 21 of the Unification Treaty, the paintings of the Palast-Galerie became the property of the Federal Republic of Germany and have been stored in a depot of the Deutsches Historisches Museum since 1995. In February 1996, the museum presented the ensemble in a much publicized exhibition titled Dürfen Kommunisten träumen? Bilder aus dem Palast der Republik ("Are communists allowed to dream? Pictures from the Palace of the Republic") which had a short run in the south wing of the Zeughaus. Eight paintings from the palace gallery were shown in Weimar in the 1999 exhibition Offiziell/Inoffiziell ("Official/Unofficial"). Since then, individual paintings from this group of works have only occasionally been featured in exhibitions. All the paintings were meticulously cleaned and restored during the preparations for a comprehensive exhibition of all the works in the Museum Barberini in Potsdam in 2017/2018.
International experts, eye witnesses and representatives from the Humboldt Forum adressed questions in various conversations. They weaved exciting stories and histories from different cultures and epochs, current research results and personal experiences to create surprising and sometimes astounding narratives.

British troops in Iraq completed a full withdrawal from Basra Palace today, an Iraqi army source is reported to have said.
A general is quoted as saying UK forces have left the area, but a Ministry of Defence spokesman based in the city said operations were "ongoing".
"We're very much in the middle of an ongoing operation at the moment and we don't comment on future or ongoing operations," the MoD spokesman said.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown today denied that British troops had withdrawn from Basra Palace as part of a "defeat", insisting the move to Basra Air Station was an "organised" one.
Mr Brown, speaking as British troops reportedly completed their full withdrawal from the base today, said troops would still be able to re-intervene in Basra in "certain circumstances".
Asked on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme if the move was a "pull-out in defeat… a retreat", Mr Brown said: "Let me make this very clear.
This is a pre-planned, and this is an organised move from Basra Palace to Basra Air Station." British troops began pulling out of Basra last night, the Ministry of Defence said, in preparation for handing over the city to the Iraqi authorities "in the autumn".
The first contingent of 550 British troops left the palace yesterday evening.
They will now be located at Basra Airport, with the rest of the 5,000 UK forces in southern Iraq.
The pull-out from Basra marks the end of a full-time British presence in the city since 2003 and is bound to be seen as symbolic.
Basra is the last of five provinces in the UK's sphere of operations in southern Iraq yet to move to local Iraqi control, with British forces left in an "overwatch" role.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown has come under increasing pressure to announce a timetable for the complete withdrawal of UK troops from Iraq – but has refused to do so.
He has insisted UK forces will stay in Iraq to fulfil Britain's obligations to the government and people there and the United Nations.
But there has been continuing speculation that the coming months could see the first signs of a large-scale UK withdrawal from the country.
Today, commanders within the US army have been quoted as saying they are "surprised" by the British withdrawal.
This follows a scathing attack on the American approach to operations in Iraq by the former head of the Army, General Sir Mike Jackson, as "intellectually bankrupt".
Sir Mike, who was in charge at the time of the 2003 invasion, also singled out former US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld for criticism, saying his claim that US forces "don't do nation-building" was "nonsensical".
Today, Colonel Bob Stewart, who led British forces in Bosnia, told GMTV the American approach had been to send in more troops whereas the British had always wanted to hand over to Iraqis.
But, when asked if the Iraqis would be able to take control of Basra, he said: "I don't think so."
He said critics of the British approach "may be right" because Basra is still "lawless" after four years of British occupation.
Col Stewart said he would not join other former military leaders – including Sir Mike – in criticising the Americans.
"If you feel really strongly about it, you can always resign, and I haven't seen many generals resigning on principle for a very long time," he said.
The MoD said in a statement last night: "Handing over Basra Palace to the Iraqi authorities has long been our intention, as we have stated publicly on numerous occasions. We expect the handover to occur in the next few days.
"The Iraqi security forces want to take full responsibility for their own security and the handover is a step towards that goal.
"The decision is an Iraqi-led initiative and is part of a Coalition-endorsed process, developed in consultation with the Iraqi government, and follows the successful handover of several other bases within and around the city.

Be Careful
I got this set included with my purchase of the 1-11 wallnuts and it's great to have these small sizes, however you have to be careful about using some of the smaller sizes. The 00 and 0 are only rated for 2kN, and is not recommended for taking a lead fall on them. Even the 4kN rated .5 and .75 I'd try to avoid taking a fall even though they could probably hold. These are more for aid climbing and body weight sort of applications. They work great for those however!

Increased influx of migrants in Lampedusa, Italy
2012 In the context of the evolving crisis in north Africa, and in particular the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, a meeting between the Italian Minister of Health, Professor Ferruccio Fazio, and the WHO Regional Director for Europe, Zsuzsanna Jakab, took place. This resulted in the WHO Regional Office for Europe assessment mission to Italy. The main objectives of this mission were to review the current situation of the displaced populations arriving in Italy as a result of the crisis in north Africa; and to assess the level of preparedness of the Italian health system to cope with the public health consequences of a potential mass influx. The purpose was to provide reommendations on how to improve the international coordination and cooperation of preparedness efforts.

Looking confident is very important. Nothing works if you are losing confidence. To look confident in any place, you need some assistance and we are here to provide you wonderful tips for gaining self-confidence.
First of all make a list of your strengths. Although it is simple task but it works a lot. Everybody is the mixture of good and bad, weakness and strengths. Take a piece of paper and list down all your strengths; it can help you overcome your negatives. Now find out skills and list down them. Find your best traits like sensitive, imaginative, and courteous and the like. It is better to have knowledge about your good qualities.
The best tip of increasing confidence is the improvement in conversational skills. To know what is better to say and to know that is good to listen are two important tips. Try to make them better with the passage of time. Improve the listening skills. Many people do not bother other while speaking and it causes a negative impact on others. People don't think that listening is as much important as talking. Pay attention to those who are talking to you, ask little questions and smile where necessary, maintain your eye contact and speak politely are necessary tips while sitting among people.
The words you speak sometimes sound well and sometimes can cause bad impression. Talking to someone include things like face expressions, body language, tone. This mixture tells other about your behavior and attitude. So the better choice of words can cause positive effects on other. People interpret atone and they estimate about personality by the non-verbal cues that you give. While speaking, be confident and don't raise your voice too much. During walking, keep head high and lose your arms and feel confident. All these things can help you remain confident while sitting somewhere.

The Jamaica Bauxite Institute
The Jamaica Bauxite Institute (JBI) is a recognized repository of information on bauxite and alumina, and enjoys a solid reputation for research and analysis of data and trends in the industry. The existence of the JBI puts Jamaica in the position of being one of the few developing countries with an institution devoted solely to the research and development of one of its prime mineral resources. j orireieri
After the completion of t he Bauxite Levy negotiations in 1975, it was noted that the absence of an organization to monitor, evaluate and conduct research on the bauxite/alumina industry, and to protect the interest of the Jamaican Government in the industry, was a major weakness on the Government's side.
In order to address this imbalance, three institutions were created: the Jamaica Bauxite Institute (JBI), Jamaica Bauxite Mining Ltd. (JBM) and the Bauxite and Alumina Trading Company (BATCO). Established in 1976 as an arm of the Jamaican National Investment Company, the JBI's role was to deal mainly with the sovereign aspects of the Government's participation in the industry. It was also to give technical support to the other two institutions.
Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability
The JBI has spearheaded a new alliance with the companies and host communities to strengthen the ability of communities to be sustainable after mining is completed. So far, six Community Councils have been established, and it is expected that these will provide the forum for the discussing and settling of problems which may arise. The Institute has been inviting proposals in light industries, cooperative agricultural ventures, animal rearing, cottage industries and aquaculture. All these ideas have come from the people and their representatives.
The JBI has accelerated its public education efforts, to help Jamaicans better understand the critical importance of the bauxite/alumina industry to the national economy. It has hosted community forums in rural areas to achieve this, and intends to expand its message via the mass media.
Industrial Relations
The JBI has been working, too, at maintaining a harmonious industrial relations climate in the bauxite/alumina industry, as continued investor confidence relies heavily on amicable relations between the industry's management and employees. Workshops comprising JBI representatives, union delegates, and management have been held from time to time. These are intended to maintain open lines of communication among all parties, and to diffuse any potential conflicts before they become serious.
The Future
ture The primary focus of the JBI for the future is to enhance the competitive position of the local industry through greater productivity and a stable industrial climate, to facilitate additional investment and the modernization of the plants, consistent with sound environmental practices .
Encouraging protection of the environment includes strengthening the Institute's capacity to monitor and undertake environmental research and ensuring that environmental practices of the industry are in keeping with the highest standards worldwide. Research on specific problems in the processing of alumina, red mud disposal and utilization and the exploration of reserves for future mining operations in Jamaica are also vital areas which will continue to receive the priority attention of the JBI.
