A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke 5:12-16
It happened that there was a man full of leprosy in one of the towns where Jesus was; and when he saw Jesus, he fell prostrate, pleaded with him, and said, " Lord, if you wish, you can make me clean." Jesus stretched out his hand, touched him, and said, "I do will it. Be made clean." And the leprosy left him immediately. Then he ordered him not to tell anyone, but "Go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses prescribed; that will be proof for them." The report about him spread all the more, and great crowds assembled to listen to him and to be cured of their ailments, but he would withdraw to deserted places to pray. The Gospel of the Lord
REFLECTION: " Lord, if you wish, you can make me clean." "I do will it. Be made clean."
No one who approached Jesus was refused his help. Even the leper who prayed to him was healed. He was considered an untouchable, "dead" by society's standards, an outcast.
What courage for this one leper and how strong was his faith. He came near Jesus, confidently and humbly knowing that he could heal him. The leper conceded his will, his wishes, his desires to Jesus. The Jewish law forbade him from coming near people. He would have been stoned if he had asked a rabbi for assistance. But, Jesus, hearing his plea, with pity and compassion granted his prayer. Jesus did not need to touch the leper. But he touched him, (against the norm of Jewish law and society) giving him the personal contact he had been banished from. His touch was an invitation for the leper to join Jesus and his family. And what beautiful resounding words from Jesus, "I will: be clean."
How do we approach those who are unloveable? I am speaking of the tough to love, those who annoy us, those who drive us absolutely crazy, those who say sly insults, manipulate our wills, lives or personal space with their silent anger, or their moodiness?
How do we approach the unapproachable? I am speaking of the ones we annoy, those who find it hard to love us.
How do we approach the drug addict, the mentally ill, the old stroked person who drools, the homeless who "smells" and is dirty and filthy? How do we approach those with physical or mental weaknesses?
We are all lepers. We all belong to one of the above groups. Can we imitate Jesus? Approach them with mercy, compassion, love and tender kindness.
God Bless.

A.1 Legislation
Arbitration in Italy is governed by articles 806 to 840 of the Italian Code of Civil Procedure (ICCP). Specifically, domestic and international arbitration are regulated by ICCP articles 806 to 832, while the recognition and enforcement of foreign awards are governed by ICCP articles 839 and 840.[1]
On 26 November 2021, the parliament enacted Law no. 206/2021, which delegated the Italian government to adopt within one year (thus, by 26 November 2022) a legislative decree reforming Italian arbitration law ("Arbitration Reform"). Law no. 206/2021 contains the mandatory guidelines for the reform.
Regarding the content of the reform, Law no. 206/2021 guidelines provide for the introduction of a mandatory duty of disclosure for arbitrators. The purpose is to strengthen arbitrators' impartiality and independence. Furthermore, the guidelines provide for the express power of arbitral tribunals to order interim measures, if so provided in the arbitration agreement, with the implication that in this case the parties should not be obliged to apply to state courts to obtain them.[2]
Once adopted, the Arbitration Reform will change the time limit for appealing arbitral awards before state courts from one year to six months, thus aligning it with the time limit for appealing state courts' decisions. Finally, the reform will specify and clarify that decrees of state courts recognizing foreign awards are directly enforceable.[3]
The Italian government appointed the working groups for drafting the legislative decree on 15 January 2022. It is difficult to foresee when the Arbitration Reform will enter into force, as it is part of the Italian civil justice system's global reform. Presumably, the Italian government will adopt the new rules by September 2022.
A.2 Institutions, rules and infrastructure
Although several local arbitration institutions are operating in Italy, the Milan Chamber of Arbitration (CAM) has assumed a leading role with respect to both domestic and international disputes.
On 1 July 2020, a newly reviewed version of the Arbitration Rules of the Milan Chamber of Arbitration ("CAM Rules 2020") entered into force (see the previous edition of the Yearbook). The rules were not further amended in the last year, however, CAM carried out some relevant initiatives throughout 2021.
The CAM further expanded its area of operation by entering into cooperation agreements with other Italian local chambers. On 28 June 2021, it signed an agreement with the Bologna Chamber of Commerce (CCIAA), tasking the CAM to handle disputes concerning the Emilia-Romagna Region, previously handled by the CCIAA itself. Similarly, on 29 October 2021, the CAM entered into an agreement with the Pescara Judicial Arbitral Chamber (CAF), also advocating disputes previously handled by the CAF.
As of 1 January 2022, the chamber has launched a new procedure aimed at assisting parties in having ad hoc arbitrations. The "CAM on Demand" service will assist parties of an ad hoc arbitration to perform all the formalities requested under Italian law and will provide a newly crafted registrar service.
The CAM has also introduced a new body aimed at preventing environmental disputes called "Facilambiente." A group of experts, operating inside the chamber itself, will help businesses, individuals and the public administration to prevent and solve environmental disputes by carrying out a mediation function between the conflicting parties.
According to the CAM figures, 85% of the hearings administered by the chamber were held online during the pandemic. Before the COVID-19 era, only 5% of the hearings were remotely held. Despite the reluctance of the parties in the early stages of the pandemic to have online hearings for their proceedings, the CAM stated that in 2021, parties became more confident in using the tool and the institution is now fully operative in having its procedures administered fully remotely.
Finally, the CAM has enhanced its focus on diversity and inclusion. It reports that women appointed in its proceedings consist of just 25%. However, of these, the chamber nominated 82% of the total number of women.
B.1 Term for challenging an award before state courts
The Court of Cassation stated that the one-year term to challenge an arbitration award shall commence on the date when the arbitrators signed, rather than when the arbitrators communicated the award to the parties.[4]
The Court was asked to rule over the constitutionality of ICCP article 828, paragraph 2 concerning articles 3, 24 and 111 of the Italian Constitution (right of defense). According to the applicant, the fact that the time for challenging an award runs from the date of its signing is a violation of the right of defense, since at that moment the losing party does not yet know the award.
The court rejected the claim and stated that the law is not in contrast with the right of defense as set out in the Constitution. Under Italian law, the arbitrators shall communicate to the parties the content of the award within 10 days of its signing, and the term for challenging it is long enough to guarantee the right of defense of the losing party.
The judgment clarifies unequivocally which precise moment the term for challenging the award shall commence and dismisses every possible conflicting interpretation of ICCP article 828.[5]
B.2 Formal requirements for challenging an award before state courts
The Court of Cassation held that to correctly challenge an award, it is necessary to attach to the writ of summons the introductory brief originally filed for commencing the arbitral proceeding.
A plaintiff tried to challenge an award, but the court refused to rule over the matter since the plaintiff has not produced, in its writ of summons, the notice of arbitration filed before the arbitral tribunal. The court reasoned that it is not the court's duty to search for the documents necessary for the plaintiff to prove its right. Instead, it is the plaintiff's duty to produce such documents when filing the writ of summons.
The judgment, in line with the previous jurisprudence, clearly sets out the mandatory documentation to be produced for a party willing to challenge an award before state courts. The court will dismiss the challenge if it lacks the notice filed to the arbitral tribunal.[6]
B.3 Law applicable to the arbitration agreement and the "agreement in writing" requirement
The Court of Cassation held that the "agreement in writing" requirement for assessing the validity of arbitration agreements should be scrutinized according to the law of the contract and that the formalities prescribed under Italian law for the validity of arbitration agreements are irrelevant when the clause is regulated by foreign law.
An Italian-incorporated company sued a Czech-incorporated company before the Italian courts, despite the presence of an arbitration clause in the contract. In particular, the Italian company argued that the arbitration clause contained in the standard form contract was null and void for lacking the "double signature" requirement, which is mandatory under article 1341 of the Italian Civil Code for having a valid consent to arbitration in standard form contracts. Thus, according to the plaintiff, the arbitration clause should be considered null and void and the arbitral tribunal would not have any jurisdiction over the dispute.
The court rejected the claim and waived its jurisdiction in favor of the arbitral tribunal seated in Prague. Primarily, the court emphasized that the national judge, when asked to rule over the validity of an arbitration clause, shall firstly decide which would be the law applicable to the agreement incorporating the clause. In this respect, the court held that the arbitration clause was regulated by Czech law (being the law of the contract), and, therefore, the double signature prescribed by Italian law for the validity of arbitration clauses incorporated in standard form contracts was not required. In support of its reasoning, the court stated that the "agreement in writing" requirement under the New York Convention was satisfied by the mere presence of the clause itself and that no further signature was needed for the parties to validly express their consent to arbitrate.
The Court of Cassation, in conclusion, held that the formalities prescribed under Italian contract law do not apply to assessing the validity of arbitration clauses when they are regulated by foreign law.[7]
B.4 Enforcement of a foreign award
The Court of Cassation held that the Court of Appeal retains the power to suspend the enforcement of a foreign award at its discretion, pending proceedings for its annulment before foreign courts.
An award was rendered in Singapore between an Italian and an Indian company. The Italian company sought the enforcement of the award in Italy and the Indian company challenged the request, arguing that an annulment proceeding was pending before Indian courts. According to ICCP article 840, the enforcement of an award can be suspended if a proceeding concerning its validity is ongoing in a foreign country. However, the Court of Appeal rejected the suspension. Subsequently, the Indian company appealed to the Court of Cassation.
The Court of Cassation dismissed the appeal, stating that the Court of Appeal holds complete discretion over the suspension of award enforcement while a foreign annulment proceeding is pending.
The judgment is of importance since the Court of Cassation states that the Court of Appeal does not have to automatically stay an enforcement proceeding when the award has been challenged elsewhere and that the power to stay the enforcement is completely discretionary in its nature.[8]
B.5 The power of state courts to rule over the validity of arbitration clauses
The Court of Cassation held that the national judges retain the power to rule over the validity of an arbitration agreement although the arbitral tribunal has already stated its competence on the dispute.
A losing party challenged an award claiming that the arbitral tribunal did not have the competence to render an award, given that the contract referred to the jurisdiction of state courts. The counterparty resisted, arguing that the arbitral tribunal already rendered an award over its competence and that the point of law could not be further questioned.
The court upheld the challenge, stating that state courts have the power to rule over the validity of arbitration clauses, even though the tribunal itself already considered the clause to be valid. Although it is prohibited for state courts to reinterpret contractual provisions when the arbitral tribunal has already done it (since it would be an inadmissible reexamination of the merit of the dispute), this prohibition shall not apply to arbitration clauses.
The Court of Cassation, according to the principle of separability, has reaffirmed state courts' power to assess the validity of the arbitration clauses, and thus to rule over the jurisdiction of arbitral tribunals seated in Italy.[9]
B.6 State's consent to arbitrate
The Court of Cassation held that the arbitration clause contained in the statute of a company is unenforceable toward the state when it became ex lege a shareholder of the company.
A company was seized from the Mafia and its stocks were automatically allocated to an Italian public agency (ANAS), which thereafter sued the previous members of the board before a state court. The court waived its jurisdiction in favor of an arbitral tribunal, in accordance with the statute of the company, which included an arbitration clause. ANAS appealed the decision before the Court of Cassation, arguing that the Italian state never expressed its consent in relation to the arbitration clause, and thus it is not bound by it. The court stated that the arbitration clause was unenforceable toward the state for lack of consent.
The judgment clarified that the arbitration clauses enshrined in companies' statutes are unenforceable for lack of consent toward state-owned entities if the latter have become shareholders ex lege. In this event, any dispute involving the public shareholder should be brought before state courts. [10]
B.7 Non-arbitrability of "legitimate interests" toward the public administration
The Court of Cassation held that a dispute concerns a "legitimate interest" vis-à-vis a public entity rather than a full right shall be considered not arbitrable under Italian law.
A company entered with a public entity into a territorial planning project containing an arbitration clause. The project (that included the obligation for the administration to put in place an active conduct), was originally performed as planned but subsequently withdrawn for public policy reasons, so frustrating the planned activity of the plaintiff company. The company started an arbitration proceeding against the public entity demanding compliance with the project. In turn, the public entity lodged a claim before state courts, arguing that the matter was not arbitrable under Italian law since it concerned a "legitimate interest". When acquiring a "legitimate interest" in a public project under Italian administrative law a private party remains subject to the authoritative power of the public entity and only has a right to demand that such power is exercised legitimately, not being allowed to enforce the original terms of the plan. According to the court, a dispute regarding the exercise of a faculty of amendment to the original project in the public interest by a public administration only entails a legitimate interest of the private entity and thus it shall be considered not subject to arbitration. In conclusion, the Court of Cassation upheld the request of the plaintiff and stated that the judgment should continue before the competent administrative court.
The judgment is in line with the Court of Cassation's jurisprudence. The arbitration clause is unenforceable toward the public administration when the subject matter of the dispute is a "legitimate interest." Conversely, the clause remains fully enforceable when the dispute concerns a "subjective right" of the plaintiff, deriving from a private agreement with a public entity not subject to review for public interest reasons.[11]
B.8 Relationship between arbitral proceedings and parallel criminal proceedings
The Court of Appeal of Milan held that an arbitral tribunal cannot assess the facts under scrutiny in an ongoing criminal proceeding.
Two parties entered into a sale-purchase agreement. Subsequently, a criminal proceeding for fraud commenced against the managers of the seller. The buyer, as a civil party in the criminal proceeding, asked the criminal court to liquidate the damages suffered. In parallel, it started an arbitration under the arbitration clause contained in the contract for having the contract declared null and void on grounds of willful misconduct of the counterparty. The arbitral tribunal rejected the claim, maintaining the contract's consent to be validly formed between the parties. The losing party challenged the award before the Milan Court of Appeal, arguing that the arbitral decision was vitiated since it omitted to consider in its reasoning some facts under examination in the parallel criminal proceeding, as requested by the plaintiff. The latter further maintained that should the arbitral tribunal have taken into account the facts under scrutiny in the criminal proceeding, the conclusion would have been the annulment of the contract.
The court rejected the claim, stating that the arbitral tribunal correctly based its decision solely on the facts necessary to assess the validity of the contract, without further addressing the facts under scrutiny in the undergoing criminal proceeding. Moreover, the court held that the arbitral tribunal's decision concerning the contract cannot be challenged before state courts, it being a decision on the merit of the dispute devolved solely to the arbitrators.
The judgment is a relevant clarification of the relationship between arbitration proceedings and parallel court proceedings when they are grounded on the same historical facts. In those cases, if the arbitration began after the commencement of the court proceeding, the arbitral tribunal shall limit its scrutiny to matters that are not under scrutiny in the judgment pending before state courts. This approach would not be a violation of the parties' consent to have their dispute submitted to arbitration.[12]
B.9 "Ritual" and "nonritual" arbitration
According to the Court of Reggio Emilia, when there is doubt regarding the qualification of an arbitration proceeding as "ritual" or "non-ritual," the will of the parties shall be interpreted as having presumably referred to the former.[13]
A dispute arose after the bankruptcy of a company. The statutory clause containing the arbitration agreement did not indicate whether the arbitration clause was referring to ritual or nonritual arbitration. In fact, the problem of jurisdictions between the arbitral tribunal and state courts could have been raised only in the former case, since the arbitral tribunal does not retain any adjudicatory power in nonritual arbitration. The Court of Reggio Emilia held that, when it is impossible to determine the will of the parties in respect of such a choice, preference should be given to ritual arbitration.
According to the court's reasoning, when nothing is specified by the parties in their arbitration agreement, the presumption is that they intended to grant adjudicatory powers over their matter to the arbitral tribunal. Therefore, according to the Court of Reggio Emilia's judgment, there would be a presumption in favor of ritual arbitration over nonritual arbitration in the Italian legal system. Thus it should be considered ritual arbitration when nothing is specified by the parties regarding the nature of the arbitration.[14]
[1] See International Yearbook 2016-2017, pages 243-244, for the relevant analysis.
[2] According to ICCP article 818, arbitral tribunals seated in Italy are currently prohibited to order interim measures. The reform will align Italian legislation to article 17 of the UNCITRAL Model Law.
[3] Currently, there is a jurisprudential contract regarding the direct enforceability of the decree recognizing foreign awards. See Genova Court of Appeal, order dated 21 June 2006; Bologna Court of Appeal, order dated 27 May 1996 (both against); Catanzaro Court of Appeal, order dated 25 March 1996 (in favor).
[4] Under ICCP article 828, the one-year term (so-called long term) applies if the adverse party does not directly notify the award to the losing party. The Arbitration Reform should reduce this term from one year to six months (see section A.1 of the present edition of the Yearbook).

[12] Milan Court of Appeal, Judgment dated 23 June 2021.
[13] "Arbitrato irrituale" ("nonritual" arbitration) is a particular type of arbitration regulated by ICCP article 808ter, according to which the award rendered by the arbitrators only creates contractual obligations between the parties, rather than having the binding effect of a court judgment.
[14] Court of Reggio Emilia, Judgment dated 27 January 2021.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — There is a cool new space right across the street from the Buffalo Zoo offering kids, adults and families a creative outlet and a break from the day-to-day grind. Sound good? Well, Making Waves Art Studio on Parkside Avenue might be the perfect place for you.
"I find that art creates connection through people making art together," says Katie Hujer, the owner of Making Waves Art Studio. "I want to see a lot of smiling faces. Once participating I want them to just feel at home and just in the moment."
The art studio offers a variety of classes and workshops. And also "Drop In" art making sessions where families can simply stop in, get a break from the screens, and let the creativity flow. "I find that kids when they are making art are generally really happy," adds Hujer.
Making Waves Art Studio is a passion project for Hujer who evolved from an art teacher, to a stay-at-home mom, to an entrepreneur.
"I taught for a total of ten years. Then I was going to stay home for a year when I had my first baby. Then I had a second baby, then a third baby, all in thirty-six months. So I decided with my husband that it was time for a transition. Then the pandemic hit. So I was home for another couple years. During the pandemic I was inspired to start doing something with my passion, my expertise and my background again," said Hujer.
That inspiration led to Hujer creating art boxesfor families during the pandemic that she sold online, and at local markets and festivals. She now ships them across the country through a subscription service. And that focus on enrichment activities carries over to Making Waves.
"I started taking oil painting and drawing lessons when I was five. Similar to this I took classes in a studio space setting from a very early age. It was always part of my identity. I wanted to share with others. I went into art education. Now I'm hoping to recreate that for kids in Buffalo," said Hujer.
Making Waves Art Studio is hosting several art camps for kids this summer. The space is also available for birthday parties.

1 thought on "DFT of Two Tones"
So this equation is a liltte different from what we started with. I've added a normalization factor of 1/N, and changed the sign of the exponent. I also rearranged the terms slightly for clarity. This form is normally called the inverse DFT, which is confusing, but apparently the difference between the DFT and IDFT is a matter of convention, and can depend on the application. So, let's call that close enough. Anyway, all details that are beside the main point: color is good. I absolutely agree that kids like color and coloring. Graph coloring, map coloring, coloring boards to see how to tile them there are great activities out there which reach kids who might not respond well to the normal math curriculum.

Staying Fit
Editor's note: This article is based on a report about people relocating for retirement in 2022. You can read a newer article on where retirees moved in 2023.
More and more retirees making interstate moves are doing so in search of cheaper housing, according to a new study compiled from U.S. Census Bureau survey data.
Join AARP for $12 for your first year when you sign up for Automatic Renewal. Get instant access to members-only products and hundreds of discounts, a free second membership, and a subscription to AARP The Magazine.
The overall number of older Americans moving in retirement rebounded slightly last year after plummeting in 2021, according to the third annual report on retirement relocation trends from online moving-services marketplace Hire A Helper.
For those crossing state lines, Florida was the most popular destination, followed by North Carolina, Michigan, Arizona and Georgia.
About 1 in 8 retirees who relocated out of state reported doing so to cut housing expenses, up from 1 in 15 in 2019. "That kind of cost consciousness is something we haven't seen at this level [in the census data] since 2014," says Miranda Marquit, chief data analyst at Hire A Helper.
Such concerns overtook seeking "new or better housing" as the second most common cause for an interstate move, behind only family reasons, and were more pronounced among retirees of color, nearly one-fifth of whom cited cheaper housing as the driving force behind a move.
Inflation 'freaked people out'
"Nobody really worried about inflation over the last decade, until this [past] year," says Jeremy Kisner, a Phoenix-based certified financial planner with Surevest Private Wealth. "Inflation really became noticeable, and I think it freaked people out."
Rents in particular grew rapidly during the COVID-19 pandemic, leaping 18 percent from 2020 to 2021, according to rental listing marketplace Apartment List. Rents continued to rise last year, albeit more slowly, going up 3.8 percent from January through December 2022.
"I know we have some adjustments on Social Security, and some pensions may have some cost-of-living adjustments, but it may not necessarily keep up with the actual increase in cost of living, especially if people are renting," says Marianela Collado, CEO of Tobias Financial Advisors in Plantation, Florida. "We mostly try to dissuade people from being in a rental situation in retirement, because you're at the whim of the landlord."
Collado also cautions retirees mulling a move to look beyond a lower monthly rent or mortgage bill and focus on issues such as income and property taxes and homeowner's insurance rates in their prospective new state.

Nikki Haley and her Democrat donors know they are running out of time to defeat Donald Trump for the GOP presidential nomination.
Now they are throwing everything but the kitchen sink at Trump.
And you won't believe how Nancy Pelosi is helping Nikki Haley attack Donald Trump.
Joe Biden's chief vulnerability with the voters is the fact that polls show more than 70 percent believe he's too old to be president.
An ABC/Washington Post poll found nearly two-thirds of Americans think Biden isn't mentally or physically capable of serving as president.
The feeling that Biden is shot mentally is the undercurrent of every bad poll for Biden on the economy, the border and in foreign policy.
To counteract this weakness Democrats seized on an attack Nikki Haley began lobbing at Trump that Trump suffers from cognitive decline because he once mixed up Nikki Haley and Nancy Pelosi's names during one of his more-than-one-hour-long rally speeches.
Wait a second, did Trump just say the person suing him is "running for office?" Is he confused again? I was not in a New York City courtroom yesterday, any more than I was in charge of security at the Capitol on January 6. I was in South Carolina meeting with voters. They'd like… https://t.co/Y72NYHKVtz
— Nikki Haley (@NikkiHaley) January 26, 2024
During a TV interview Pelosi tried to pull off a two-fer by claiming Trump suffered from cognitive decline because Trump refuted the lies told about January 6 by the media, Joe Biden and Pelosi's January 6 committee.
Pelosi falsely claimed Trump never offered to send National Guard troops to the Capitol – Trump aide Kash Patel testified that Trump proposed the deployment of 10,000 National Guard troops to the Capitol prior to January 6 but was rebuffed.
"First of all, he has a cognitive disorder. It wasn't that he just had a slip of the tongue of using a name one time for another. Anybody can do that. But he was making a case. But really more dangerous than than getting us mixed up, more dangerous was his charge that we were not accepting his troops. We begged him for hours and hours. Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, to send the National Guard and he wouldn't do it. His his underlings, the Secretary of the Army and the Acting Secretary of the Defense wouldn't do it," Pelosi began.
Nikki Haley's campaign is funded by Democrats and staffed by lobbyists who counted Democrat interest groups like the American Federation of Teachers as clients.
So it's not surprising Haley and Nancy Pelosi are campaigning against Trump on the same issues.

Achilleos, Chris
Entry updated 12 September 2022. Tagged: Artist.
(1947-2021) Working name of British artist Christos Achilléos, born in Famagusta, Cyprus; he moved to Britain at the age of twelve after his father died. After graduating from the Hornsey College of Art in 1969, Achilleos began receiving assignments to do book covers for British publishers; his covers for reprints of Edgar Rice Burroughs's Pellucidar novels were very unremarkable, but he displayed more creativity in works like his 1972 cover for an edition of Curt Siodmak's Donovan's Brain (September-November 1942 Black Mask; 1943), showing a pair of dark eyes suspended in apparent globs of brain tissue. He was then occupied with the task of painting covers for numerous Doctor Who novels, which he executed with about as much panache as such work permitted. In 1974 he began the series of erotic paintings for Paul Raymond's girlie magazine Mayfair that brought him worldwide recognition. Owing to this work and the publication of his first collection, Beauty and the Beast (graph coll 1978), Achilleos became widely associated with erotically charged images of undressed females – one provocative example in the book, originally employed as the cover of Saul Dunn's The Black Moon (1978), showed a naked woman straddling a phallic, blasting Ray Gun which was also the arm of a Cyborg warrior – and Achilleos did little to diminish this reputation with works like his cover for M John Harrison's A Storm of Wings (1980), showing a winged insect about to copulate with an undressed woman of similar dimensions.
In the 1980s, Achilleos moved into new areas by doing some game-related Fantasy art, design work for the films Heavy Metal (1980) (see Heavy Metal) and Willow (1986), and posters for films including Blade Runner (1982) and Supergirl (1984). He also augmented his ongoing Doctor Who assignments by agreeing to paint covers for republications of works in another venerable franchise, James Blish's Star Trek adaptations, with less memorable results. Still, the publication of two new compilations, Sirens (graph coll 1986) and Medusa (graph coll 1988), served to enhance his visibility as an artist specializing in Heroic Fantasy. Since 1990, while he continued to create occasional book covers, he mostly devoted his energies to producing fantasy trading cards and selling his prints and original art. His Doctor Who work is assembled as Kklak!: The Doctor Who Art of Chris Achilleos (graph coll 2021). [GW/DRL]

The makers of Anudeep KV's film released announced a poster confirming the release date
Last Updated: 02.09 PM, Oct 05, 2022
It's official! Sivakarthikeyan's upcoming romantic comedy Prince is all set to hit screens on October 21 as a Diwali release. The team confirmed and announced the same with a new poster from the film. Prince is directed by Anudeep KV of Jathi Ratnalu fame. Ukrainian model-turned-actress Maria Ryaboshapka plays the leading lady and the film marks her debut in the Tamil industry. We hear that the plot revolves around a teacher, played by Sivakarthikeyan, who falls in love with a foreigner, essayed by Maria. The portions have been shot across locations in Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry.
Thaman is scoring music for the first time for a Sivakarthikeyan film and the song Jessica, which was released recently, featured the composer along with the actor in a colourful backdrop that gives out some happy vibes. Thaman, too, had recently confirmed that the film will hit screens for Diwali. He had written on his social media handle, "Super Fun O Fun laugh Riot #Diwali Coming to U Guys From Our Dear darling Brother @Siva_Kartikeyan @anudeepfilm Next Song is Even More Fun..#PanGanna Song coming o Coming (sic)."
The team had recently revealed that the shoot for the film has been wrapped up and shared pictures from the set and from the cake-cutting ceremony after the wrap-up. The makers wrote, "#Prince wrapped up with a song shoot. Meet you all in theatres this Diwali (sic)."
While Paramahamsa is handling the cinematography, Praveen KL is taking care of the editing. There is also a buzz that the audio launch is likely to be held on October 9. There is no confirmation on the same. Prince will clash with Karthi's Sardar, a spy thriller, directed by PS Mithran. Sivakarthikeyan also has in his kitty, Ravikumar's science fiction Ayalaan and Madonna Ashwin's Maaveran, in which he is said to be playing a superhero like character.

A stadium injury is a type of personal injury that can occur while attending a sporting event. While most injuries at stadiums are minor, some can be serious and even life-threatening. In this case, liability is a key focus. But who is responsible for stadium accidents and subsequent injuries? Well, it might be the stadium owners, but it might not. The answer depends on several factors that are critical to determining fault in a stadium incident that results in someone getting hurt.
Continue below to learn more about stadium injuries and accidents, including common types, how to avoid them, and who might be liable for an injured fan's damages.
Common Types of Stadium Injuries and Accidents
The most common types of stadium injuries include slips and falls, being hit by flying objects, and being trampled by crowds. Parking lot accidents are also common, including pedestrian accidents, car collisions, and even muggings and assaults.
Slipping, Tripping and Falling
Slips and falls are the most common type of stadium injury, and they can occur anywhere in the stadium. Wet floors, spilled food and drinks, and uneven surfaces can all lead to slips and falls. These injuries can range from minor scrapes and bruises to more serious injuries like broken bones and concussions.
Struck By Objects
Being hit by flying objects is another common type of injury that can occur at stadiums. Fans sitting in the stands are at risk of being hit by flying objects like balls, bats, and gloves. These objects can travel at high speeds and can cause serious injuries like concussions, skull fractures, and internal bleeding.
Trampled or Crushed
Being trampled by crowds is another risk for fans attending sporting events. Injuries from being trampled can range from minor scrapes and bruises to more serious injuries like broken bones, concussions, and internal bleeding.
Liable Parties in a Stadium Accident
A stadium accident can have many liable parties. The most obvious party would be the stadium owner or operator. They are responsible for the safety of the premises and for any accidents that occur on their property. If the accident was caused by a dangerous condition on the property that they knew about or should have reasonably known about, yet failed to do anything about it, they may be held liable.
Another liable party could be the company that designed or built the stadium. If there were any defects in the construction of the stadium, they could be held responsible. Additionally, if the accident was caused by faulty equipment, the manufacturer of that equipment could be held liable.
Finally, if the accident was caused by the negligence of another party, such as a security company, they could also be held liable.
Protecting Yourself and Your Loved Ones at Stadium Games
The best way to avoid being injured at a stadium is to be aware of your surroundings and stay alert. If you are sitting in the stands, pay attention to the game and be aware of where the players are. If you are attending a game with children, keep them close to you.
If you have been injured in a stadium accident in Indiana, seek medical attention right away. After being seen by medical professionals, it is important to speak with an experienced Indianapolis personal injury attorney to discuss your legal options. An attorney can help you determine who may be held liable for your injuries and help you recover the compensation you deserve.
Are you looking for an experienced civil litigation law firm that help you determine the best legal strategy to take after your stadium injury accident?

text: As part of Faber & Faber's relaunch of Golding's novels, three new editions are published today. The new Lord of the Flies features Stephen King's introduction, in which King writes: 'Lord of the Flies has always represented what novels are for, what makes them indispensable'. Booker Prize-shortlisted author Nicola Barker introduces Darkness Visible, Golding's 1979 masterpiece and argues that Golding's writing 'seduces us. He transfixes, bewitches and confounds us'. For Golding's final novel, the posthumously published The Double Tongue, historian Bettany Hughes contributes a vibrant introduction on the role of memory, fragmentary narratives and the role of the reader: '[Golding] encourages the reader's imagination of the experience of past lives, and throughout the book he asks an open question about how we should best live our lives today'.

Hehehe...maybe that's why the majority of my daughter's nouns are in Chinese! (Chinese baby-talk has even MORE doubled syllables than English does.)
Just found your blog today. I'm raising one (soon to be two!) children bi-lingual, in a Eurasian home. Daddy was born in China, I was born in America. We are both fluent in both languages.Hi Sarah,
look who's back in the land of the living (Sophie's mom, in case that helps :) )!
Congrats on the birth of Griffin - and I love the name! It was on my fave list, but my husband was being difficult, so we ended up with an Owen :)
Sophie used to say "mamamamamamamam" all the time, too, but Owie has been quite different. He hasn't been into repeating syllables too much - but he started saying "Mama" when he was only 2 months old and hasn't stopped saying it since (and it wasn't just my wishful thinking back then, someone else heard him say it, too).
Now he's 14 months old already and is beginning to say a few words, in both German and English. It's exciting, and I do hope he'll do more than just understand German - his big sister Sophers still thinks she isn't able to speak it, but continues to understand everything :)
I'll start updating my own blog soon, too, with all the details on what's been happening with everything in my life.
Good luck with Griffin's French!Hey, just wanted to let you know that the link is broken, and I was wondering if you knew where else the article might be found.
Also wanted to comment that this is the reason that so many languages have similar parental vocabulary. Vowel+consonant syllables beginning with m and b are among the easiest for babies to say--perhaps the reason bottles and blankets and such end up with names like baba and bobo? :)Oh, I wanted to add one more thing--when I started to blog and added your blog to my blogroll, I was just looking for people using communicative ways to teach language, but eight days after I started my blog, lo and behold I'm pregnant! So I'm sure I'll be paying a lot more attention to this in the days to come as we intend to do one-parent, one-language with our baby. (I'm fluent in Spanish, my husband doesn't speak it.)

House Of The Dragon Showrunner Addresses The Burning Question About Milly Alcock And Emily Carey
"House of the Dragon" made a monumental change in Season 1 Episode 6 "The Princess and the Queen," by featuring the largest time jump yet. The pivotal episode also swapped out leading actors Milly Alcock (Young Rhaenyra Targaryen) and Emily Carey (Young Alicent Hightower) for older counterparts Emma D'Arcy and Olivia Cooke. This move accelerates the sometimes sluggish pacing of the prequel, which critics have cited as an issue for the hotly anticipated behemoth series (via Forbes).
"House of the Dragon" premiered with astounding ratings in viewership that are consistently growing like the fearsome beasts flying over Westeros. According to Variety, "House of the Dragon" is captivating 29 million weekly dragon devotees with a 3% rise for the series' fifth episode. This impressive feat nicely bookends the first half of the season as it lays the crucial groundwork for the upcoming and devastating Targaryen civil war.
King Viserys' (Paddy Considine) rapidly declining health has sent the realm into a dizzying spin as they rampantly try to scheme for the Iron Throne. As these changes in actresses solidify, the cast and crew express their insights and tease the darker second half of the fire-breathing epic. Showrunner Ryan Condal sheds some light on what we can expect when the Dance of Dragons finally begins.
It's possibly we may not have seen the last of Milly Alcock and Emily Carey
While some viewers were eager to get closer to the dragon-clashing civil war, some were disappointed that the young actors they'd come to enjoy were no longer going to be starring in the show. The decision to feature a midway larger jump in time was something the showrunners were aware of that also helped to include more of the sprawling fantasy prequel source "Fire & Blood," written by George R.R. Martin. With Variety, Ryan Condal, the new leading showrunner (following Miguel Sapochnik's departure after Season 1) expands on the need for the leap in time and if we'll ever see the young actresses reprise their roles.
After previously revealing with Variety that the writing process for Season 2 is well underway, he clarifies that as of now, Milly Alcock and Emily Carey will not be returning. However, he expands on whether or not they will come back in future flashbacks stating it has yet to be determined. "There are things that we haven't fully sorted out. I'm not closing the door on anything. So there, how's that for an answer?"
He elaborates by comparing "House of the Dragon" to its predecessor "Game of Thrones," which was often linear in its narrative progression with special exceptions. Toward the end of the global phenomenon, we got glimpses of the past through Bran's (Issac Hempstead Wright) magical Three-Eyed Raven visions which finally uncovered the parentage of Jon Snow (Kit Harington). As Condal states, these rare flashbacks could return in future seasons of "House of the Dragon," leaving the fate of Milly Alcock and Emily Carey's reprisals in the gods' and showrunners' hands.

Three men have been shot to death on the West Side since mid-afternoon Wednesday, including one who a witness said was shot in a high-rise workout room, police said.
In addition to those killed, at least six other people have been wounded in shootings in Chicago since midmorning Wednesday, according to police.
About 7:05 p.m., a 45-year-old man was shot multiple times in the 500 block of West Kinzie Street in the Fulton River District on the Near West Side, police said. He was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead there.
A witness said the victim was shot in a gym on the eighth floor of the residential high-rise following a dispute.
Aaron Snyder, a resident of the high-rise, said he was working out in the gym when he heard a loud bang, followed by another.
There "was only one way out, and the shot came from that way, so I just ran outside on the pool deck," Snyder said. "I didn't know what it was, but I saw a bunch of people sprinting so I thought it was probably a good idea to keep running."
Snyder called 911, and he about a dozen others hid behind bushes in an outdoor area on the floor.
Earlier, two men had gotten into an argument in the gym.
"The guy (in a wheelchair) yelled at him to stop flirting with his girlfriend over and over again," Snyder said.
"I thought he was being sarcastic, but he wasn't. They got into a screaming match. The guy just hung around him staring at him on the treadmill."
One resident, who asked not to be named because he witnessed part of the attack, said he was playing basketball when the argument took place. As he was leaving the gym he held the door open for one of the men, who was in a wheelchair, to go back into the gym after he left for a short time.
"I heard one shot then I turned, and I saw (the victim) fall," the resident said. "He was on the (elliptical) machine. After, he (the gunman) rolled right past me. I didn't know what to do. I mean, dude had a gun."
In the aftermath, the victim had a gunshot wound to the head and was struggling to breathe as a staff member hid under a desk and residents scrambled to hide, according to the resident.
"I was just screaming 'Can anybody help?'" said the resident, who left to stay at a friend's place while police search for the suspect.
Police gathered behind the front desk in the lobby to review surveillance footage and interview witnesses, including one woman who was escorted away by an officer.
Earlier, about 4:30 p.m., a 32-year-old man was shot to death in the 3600 block of West Division Street in the Humboldt Park neighborhood, said Officer Thomas Sweeney, a police spokesman. At least two attackers entered a business and fired shots before fleeing, leaving the man with multiple gunshot wounds.
The man, who was a known gang member, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The man died in the store slumped face-down against a counter wearing a white jacket. Police closed off the area in front of the store.
Neighbors gathered on the corner of Lawndale Avenue and Division Street. At one point, a man ran to the scene and ducked under police tape before police pushed him back, asking him to let them do their jobs.
Earlier, a man was shot to death outside on a commercial block in the Austin neighborhood, police said. The 22-year-old man was shot around 1:55 p.m. in the 300 block of North Central Avenue and pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
According to police, the man was walking on the block when someone approached him and shot him multiple times.
The homicide happened not long before nearby schools let out, and the man was killed on a city Safe Passage route, so workers in fluorescent vests stood back watching the scene with a few dozen other curious onlookers.
Police closed Central in both directions, and when it came time to load the body into a squadrol, they positioned cars around the body so people would have a hard time seeing.
Central just south of the Green Line, where the shooting took place, is lined for about a block with stores — the Shoe Shine King, in front of which the victim fell — a couple grocery stores and a clothing store.
The crowd occasionally jeered police, who didn't respond. A couple separated from the crowd to mourn alone in a nearby parking lot.
At 3:09 p.m., a 27-year-old man was shot on the 4100 block of West North Avenue, police said. The man was shot in the head, but his condition had stabilized at Mount Sinai Hospital, police said. The man is a documented gang member, police said.
In the Woodlawn neighborhood just after 2 p.m., a man and woman were wounded in a shooting in the 6400 block of South Eggleston Avenue, police said.
The woman, 38, was shot in the leg and abdomen, and went to St. Bernard Hospital and Healthcare Center before being transferred to Stroger Hospital, where her condition had stabilized. The man, 20, went to St. Bernard Hospital, where his condition was stabilized as he was treated for a gunshot wound to the shoulder.
A 28-year-old man, Nicholas Robinson, was shot to death in the same block on Feb. 22.
Earlier, about 12:30 p.m., a 21-year-old man was shot in the 9400 block of South Stony Island Avenue, police said. He was taken to a hospital with a gunshot wound to the buttocks.
In the morning, two men were wounded about the same time a few blocks apart in what police said appear to be unrelated shootings.
One man, in his 30s, showed up at West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park about 10:40 a.m. with a gunshot wound to his thigh. He told police he was shot near Harrison Street and Cicero Avenue.
About the same time, a 28-year-old showed up at Mount Sinai Hospital with a gunshot wound to the hand. He told police he was shot in the 4300 block of West Van Buren Street.
Both men were in good condition.
