Satellite Shows a Winter Storm "Bomb Cyclone" from Space
The storm is called a "Bomb Cyclone", it is called "Bomb Cyclone" because it is a nod to the process "bombogenesis" that forms it. Bombogenesis occurs when the storm's central low pressure plunges by at least 24 millibars: an atmospheric pressure measurement in 24 hours, indicates the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). A fabulous video from space shows a winter storm: slamming into the northeast United States.View More Satellite Shows a Winter Storm "Bomb Cyclone" from Space

NASA's exoplanet-hunting space telescope has arrived two months ahead of its planned launch
NASA's exoplanet-hunting space telescope has arrived two months ahead of its planned launch. The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) was delivered via truck to NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC) on Monday (Feb. 12), agency officials said. The spacecraft made the journey from the Dulles, Virginia, facilities of the aerospace company Orbital ATK, which had spent the last year building and testing TESS. TESS is scheduled to lift off atop a Space X Falcon 9 rocket no earlier than April 16 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, which is next door to KSC.View More NASA's exoplanet-hunting space telescope has arrived two months ahead of its planned launch
The TWINS fifth anniversary
Earth is surrounded by the dynamic area carrying the name of a magnetosphere. This area is controlled the magnetic and electric forces, energy arriving from the Sun and a matter. Also it is controlled various waves and the processes different from what usually meet in terrestrial physics. In this constantly changing magnetic "bubble" lays the education from the loaded particles which plane coincides with the plane of the terrestrial equator.View More The TWINS fifth anniversary
NASA satellite observes the Kizimen volcano
The top of the Kizimen volcano is covered by ashes, lava and various volcanic emissions. The satellite of NASA Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) allowed to register eruption consequences, having made this picture on March 12. It is possible to notice that the smoke column still rises from top while snow covers a lava stream on East side of a volcano. Kizimen is a start volcano, which height makes 2376 m. The form of volcano reminds the Japanese mountain of Fuji before its eruption in 1980. The main crater of a volcano is expressed poorly. Kizimen's slopes are covered with different volcanic outbursts.View More NASA satellite observes the Kizimen volcano
People Voted for new Names for the Satellites of Pluto
In 2011 and 2012 the group of astronomers by leadership of Mark Showalter discovered twonew satellites of Pluto. These are the forth and fifth satellites of Pluto. The dimensions of P4 are from 13 up to 34 km, and the P5 are form 15 up to 24km. According to rules of the International astronomical union, the satellites have to receive the names from Greek-Roman mythology, which is connected with underground kingdom of Aida. The discovers offered 12 mythology names, and everyone can vote for the name, which likes to him. In the voting totally participated 450 people, from them 174,000 voted for Volcano (the Roman God of underground fire), and 99,400 voted for Cerberus (the three-headed dog guarding a gate of the underground world).View More People Voted for new Names for the Satellites of Pluto

Conversation with CYNTHIA SOBRATY, guest tattooing at Stademonia Tattoo Stockholm 31/7-2/8!
CYNTHIA SOBRATY, they/them, lives and works in Melbourne, Australia
How would you describe your work?
My work is a mixture of a lot of different things. It is not traditional tattooing, as it is loose and sketchy most of the time. My main mantra is to try and do things I haven't seen before. Colouring outside the lines, and incorporating a lot of variety of styles and influences.
How did you come in contact with tattooing? How did you learn?
I was looking for work and stuck in the capitalist existential crisis most artists face of just wanting to be creative all the time but also needing to survive. At this time I put up an ad to teach drawing on a classifieds site, and had my portfolio on there. Through that my current boss found me and asked if I would like a tattoo apprenticeship. So i was very lucky in this regard! I learned from my boss and from observing the other artists in the studio I did my apprenticeship at.
Where do you find inspiration for your tattoo art? What makes you happy/curious? Do you work with art in other ways than on skin?
I find inspiration in a lot of things. I am obsessed with popular culture and am very visual. My influences span from 18th/19th century fashion and design, my experiences as a qpoc person, drag culture, anime, myth and lore, contemporary tattooing, abstract art and the idea of wabi sabi.
What makes me happy/curious is taking an old idea and spinning it on it's head. I like to try and work with people to create symbols of their own instead of repurposing old symbols with old meanings. For instance, a feather to represent freedom, wanderlust. How can we create a symbol specific for you that no one else can have? Can we create an asbtraction of a feeling? Can we create a demon, or a character to personify something? People do not consider their own capacity to create, and often automatically rely on pre existing images. There is a lot of power and fun in making something more unnusual, more unique, that is tailored for the indivdual and the artist.
I am a bit of a creative jack of all trades, flailing my art limbs all over the place. I am working on an album at the moment, and I am also in a band called NOT QUITE WHITE, which is a PoC "girl" band who write songs about our nuanced experiences as poc people. I am a performer as well, and am doing a solo show at this years Fringe Festival in Melbourne called "Neuromantic- a queer cabaret" which is a collection of pieces that I have wanted to perform for a long time, ranging from poetry, storytelling, comedy, drag and original music. I am a very over analytical person but am more motivated then ever to put things into fruition, even if I feel like they or I am not ready or ENOUGH yet, becasue the reality is the world is burning and there is no time to waste.
Talking bout tattoo culture, What changes would you like to see? In what way can we as tattoo artists make a change?
Tattoo culture is definitely more commodified then ever, with people regularly seeing things they see on social media and taking images to artists and saying "I want this one please". It has become more like fast fashion rather then curated fragments of imagination seen into fruition. It's easy for artists to get swept up in this fashion framework of tattooing as it is very commercially viable and lucrative. It is harder to be an artist who does many different styles because they cannot be marketed as easily. And so artists start to pigeon hole themselves, and limit their spectrum of ability to create new and different things. Much like everything else in life I want tattooing to be more inclusive. Instagram is a doubel edged sword in this way. Now it's easier for queer artists to find one another and for people to find queer tattooers. Insta can provide solidarity and community, but i also feel it is the bane of many artists self esteem. We have to use it to propel our business, but it also means subjecting ourselves to a scope of comparison to other artists that hasn't really existed before. How much damage this is doing to our imagination is invisible and scary. Insecurity is rife and we are quicker to cut each other down because we fear being cut down ourselves. Other tattooers have called my style of tattooing lazy, and I know that this is by the standard they are holding themselves and tattooing in general. I feel there is room for everyone , and to call each others styles lazy, or not good enough is ultimately a reflection of our own insecurity. We should be making room for everyone to feel empowered, in the same way we should be empowering others in society to express themselves freely without fear of judgement. Those with perfectly executed masterpieces of ideas we've all seen before are similar to those in life who conform to societys ideals of what is "good and normal". Anything deviating from these ideals is up for scrutiny and ridicule. But the fact is diversity is beautiful, and we should be appreciating that.
Cynthia Sobraty will guest tattoo at StaDemonia Tattoo Stockholm 31/7-2/8 and participate in a conversation about tattooing, art and how to create safe and lustful places 30/7 at 16.00 hs at RFSL Stockholm (Alsnögatan 7, floor 3). The conversation is moderated by Rudy Loewe.

Conversation with CIARA HAVISHYA, guest tattooer at StaDemonia Tattoo Stockholm 13-15/5!
CIARA (pronounced Kira) HAVISHYA, they/them, lives and works in Vancouver BC

How would you describe your work?
My work has a few different facets but primarily I work with decorative Indian patterns and adapt them to bodies through tattooing. I also really enjoy botanical blackwork, and illustrative animal pieces. I feel like this variance in my work is important in keeping me feeling balanced and engaged.
How did you come in contact with tattooing? How did you learn?
I taught myself how to tattoo mostly, about three years ago. I was very bad and made a lot of bad tattoos. It was awful. I looked for an apprenticeship but to be honest, my work wasn't any good and I didn't deserve one. But I also didn't know anyone or get any feedback on what I could do better or differently. Now I'm much better at tattooing and I own my shop where I work with 8 other talented tattooers.
Where do you find inspiration for your tattoo art? What makes you happy/curious? Do you work with art in other ways than on skin?
I find inspiration mostly in thinking about my childhood and all the culture and art that I was surrounded by. I had a very traumatic but rich upbringing with Indian art and textiles everywhere, and Buddhist thankas, and Inuit sculptures, and Hindu art and Indian music. I think about the grace and the elegance of my grandmother and her love of jewelry and good saris and I strive for that elegance and weight in the decorations I create for my clients. I find myself most happy and curious when I'm in nature looking at mushrooms and plants and insects and rocks and I find that I need to do that to spiritually and emotionally recharge on a fairly consistent basis.
I'm in love with where the mountains, forests, oceans and wilderness of BC and truly that is my greatest source of comfort and strength as an artist.
I try to illustrate and sketch outside of tattooing but I don't find myself doing it very well, at least not to the extent of my tattooing. I find skin to be a perfect medium for me, and I find the process to be the most challenging.
Talking bout tattoo culture, What changes would you like to see? In what way can we as tattoo artists make a change?
Tattoo culture is so complicated… queer tattoo culture is also so complicated. I would like to see more critique in tattoo culture and I'd like to see it normalized. I want to see artists in shops actively pushing each other and being honest with feedback to one another, I'd love to see artists with vastly different styles offering critique to others and lending their eyes to an artist for the sake of their growth.
It makes me sad sometimes how unkind people can be in the realm of social justice and tattooing, I think in general we can all benefit from approaching each other with the maximum amount of compassion and respect for one another and our little queer tattoo communities would benefit so much from more of that. We're all just human beings doing our best.
Ciara Havishya will participate in a conversation with other queer tattooers about tattooing, art and how to create safe and lustful places at Queer Art Fest 11+12/5 at Konsthall C in Stockholm, as well as tattoong at the festival!

Conversation with UVE THE KID, guest tattooer at StaDemonia Tattoo Stockholm 9+10/5!
UVE RIVERA, she/her/they/them, lesbian/queer tattooer from Barcelona, working between my home town and London.
How would you describe your work?
I try to reflect my perspective and vital experiences through a variety of queer and kink imagery expressed in black illustration/graphic work that helps me to identify myself and, at the same time, the other person whom I am working with.
How did you come in contact with tattooing, how did you learn?
I was always intrigued by the craft and tattoo scene but it wasn't until a few years back that I got into a non traditional apprenticeship in a studio. I have been extremely lucky since then as I never had a bad experience with customers nor fellow tattooers and everyone has appreciated my art as it is.
Where do you find inspiration for your tattoo art? What makes you happy/curious? Do you work with art in other ways than on skin?
As I was mentioning before I like to get my ideas (for tattooing as well as for illustrating) from the LGBTQIA+ community and my own experiences. Breaking the established rules of patriarchal and conservative tattoo scene is what keeps my ball rolling.
Talking about tattoo culture, What changes would you like to see? In what way can we as tattoo artists make a change?
It is crucial to be able to identify/relate with a public figure, to be seen and considered by society. I would like us tattooers to keep taking the craft to its inclusive, countercultural origins and keep helping non-conformist identities to express themselves. We need to create a solid network on media platforms not only to make information/imagery/aesthetics available but also to provide us with the opportunity of creating bonds in real life.

Conversation with KAI KNOWFOLLY, guest tattooer at StaDemonia Tattoo Stockholm 8-9/5!
KAI SÖDERSTRÖM, they/them and she/her, lives and works in Portland Oregon but I like to travel for work as often as possible.
How would you describe your work?
My work is illustrative-based, and I appreciate the clean linework and saturation of traditional so thats definitely an influence artistically, as well as retro colours and flow… but my take on placements, style, subject matter, etc… is all based in tuning into my clients personal energy, body, and desires while using my own creative perspective to intuitively manifest a mutual vision… often of healing or reclaiming our bodies.
How did you come in contact with tattooing? How did you learn?
I have been drawing on friends and family with pens since I was a little kid, and in high school, eventually my skin drawings became popular and people would pay me real money! Lol, so I guess I consider that the true start of my learning how to work with skin/bodies. I started doing handpoke tattoos in college, and eventually dated someone who gave me my first intro into tattooing with machines. From there its been a process on building my art and teaching myself a lot, but I have been tattooing now full time for almost two years since I moved to Portland. I didn't want to deal with a traditional apprenticeship, as I only had access to shops that were pretty shitty and white cis male dominated. As a survivor and Queer femme, I found my own way into tattooing without going through those "gatekeepers", who are profiting off of what is originally an Indigenous art anyways.
Where do you find inspiration for your tattoo art? What makes you happy/curious? Do you work with art in other ways than on skin?
Lots of what I do tattooing (and visual art-wise) also focuses on body positivity. And my art of course is always my own take on life at the intersection of being a survivor, Queer/2Spirit, a white/white-passing Ojibwe Swedish Jew, with a focus on re-indigenization and ancestral healing. Tattooing was traditionally used medicinally in Ojibwe communities, and I am trying to reclaim it as a healing practice, so that is the main purpose in my work I would say, and definitely brings me great satisfaction and hope that I am evolving and learning and creating, while also honoring my ancestors and ancestral practices. I also get a lot of inspiration from florals and pattern work from these various parts of my family history. It is also really special continuing to learn and stay curious about the true history of the lands we come from and the people that have come before us. I also paint and draw, and do digital art and illustration, and make music. I honestly love all art forms and just being creative in any and all ways.
I would love to see more representation in all tattooing, especially when it comes to POC. There is so much gatekeeping and bullshit and white supremacy in how tattooing functions, for the most part, right now, and while its changing, its a slow burn. Queer tattooing has been changing a lot for the better, as a community I think we have shifted the economy of tattooing as a whole, definitely. Although I have realized within the Queer tattooing community, there is still white supremacist/patriarchal/colonized gate keeping going on. I think decolonizing the practice of tattooing, how we honor our client/artist relationships, hold space, and go about the process, as well as maintaining high standards of artistic excellency is really important. Remembering that rebelling against the tattoo patriarchy isn't an excuse for shitty quality work, but an important route to communicate, educate, and make connections that are not possible with other mediums, and hopefully make positive changes in our communities and the world as a whole. I would also love to see more of an effort to start finding and using more eco-friendly ways to set up and stay sanitary, like hemp based plastic products, and natural products instead of petroleum jelly, etc… I could go on and on about ideas for that…

Conversation with MARS HOBRECKER, visiting StaDemonia Tattoo and Trans Fest Stockholm 31/3!
MARS HOBRECKER, he/him, lives and works in Brooklyn New York
How did you come in contact with tattooing? How did you learn?
I'd always been interested in tattoos when I was younger, and when I started getting tattooed (at 18) it was an incredibly powerful experience. I'd mostly grown up without having a whole lot of say over how I presented myself, and getting tattooed was really the first time I felt I was really taking ownership over my body in a way that I couldn't be forced to reverse. It was deeply personal, and I wanted to be able to offer that experience to other people.
I never anticipated this become my full time job – when I started tattooing it had nothing to do with an interest in the industry, or any sort of respect for tradition. I just wanted my friends (who were mostly queer & not necessarily comfortable in a traditional shop environment) to be able to access that same feeling of having autonomy over their bodies, and started tattooing out of my bedroom.
My learning process has obviously been a much longer and more complicated story than just starting out of my house and evolving to owning a shop, but that's the very highly condensed version of where my interest started!
Where do you find inspiration for your tattoo art? What makes you happy/curious? Do you work with art in other ways than on skin?
My primary art practice & interest has always been performance based, and I think that still really comes through in the types of work I choose to tattoo. I almost exclusively tattoo images of people; I'm extremely interested in figures, and especially in the infinite ways people are able to touch & hold one another. Capturing that sort of interaction & bond between bodies is something that's always been extremely compelling to me across all mediums.

What's the car of your dreams? Is it something fast, something rare, something seductive? Is it a shot out of left field, a tour de force by a company at the height of its powers, spurred onwards by an invincible economy? Is it a car nearly forgotten by unimaginative enthusiasts who traffic in clichés, who march in lockstep with the obvious? Is it fragile and cantankerous -- a car that demands an unbound patience, a gentle hand that remains unwavering when writing that check? Is it a car that made an indelible impression in your own youth, from an age that seems to inform all of your adult opinions, one that has survived the fickle changes of time and taste?
I'll tell you what my dream car is. It's a Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo, built from 1989 to 1996 (and for two more years in Japan). A car that landed on this planet with a wallop. Wide-eyed headlights, unmistakable and large, a soft and curvy wedge: commanding, but never aggressive. Skinny, but still a bruiser. Modest, but stealthy. A car that appeals to those who know what it is. Can a car speak to you, even if you've never driven it? If you've never driven anything?

Have you heard of see-through bangs, yet another hair styling trend that's travelled over from Korea? Here's what it is, and whether you should have you own hair snipped...
What are see-through bangs?
You know those thick, blunt bangs that end just at the eyebrow level and show off your eyes? Well, imagine a stylist took a pair of scissors to them and made them piecey enough to be able to see your forehead through. And there you have Korean style see-through bangs!
Benefits of piecey bangs
These Korean style see-through bangs have the same advantages as blunt, thick bangs – they add structure to your face and show off the eyes –while also showing a bit of your forehead and softening the overall appearance of the face. Yes, you'll have to get them cut regularly to keep them at the right length, but it'll only take a few minutes once every couple of weeks. While blunt bangs look best on thick hair, this piecey alternative is a great choice for thinner hair types.
How to style see-through bangs
Straight see-through bangs actually look great alongside subtle long waves. To avoid your bangs from getting greasy quickly, use a dry shampoo on the roots and comb through. We love the Morning After Dust from Tecni.ART, which instantly revives hair and soaks up excess grease. Plus, it has a delicious scent that lasts for up to 24 h!
Are you tempted to try the see-through bangs trend?

This is the first road trip of the very many she'll do this season, and she's happy to do it: After all, this passionate full-time skydiver is all about sharing her hard-earned knowledge (and cheerful disposition) with the skydiving world.
"Cinco and CarolinaFest kick off the boogie season for me," she grins. "From there, I'm busy all the way through August."
Most boogie-bound skydivers have jumped with Sam at some point or another, so they know her enough to like her. What most people don't know about Sam is that it isn't human flight that first got her into the sky. It was fixed-wing flight—which is still a great interest of hers that she plans to revisit someday.
"I was in school to get a Bachelor's in Biology and a minor in Chemistry," she explains. "First, I wanted to do pre-med. Then, mid-way through the program, I started getting my pilot's license. It made me change my mind about my career goals; from then on, I wanted to be a commercial pilot."
The Diversion
But then, one day in 2011, she did a tandem skydive with her friend for her birthday at the tandem drop zone in Ocean City, Maryland, which was where Sam grew up. Immediately, Sam was hooked. She knew she had to get her solo skydiving license. To get it quickly, she headed south to Skydive City—a legendary drop zone in Florida. She completed her USPA A-license in two weeks. When she emerged, she officially had a new skybound obsession.
"I have over 250 hours of flight time, and I'm just shy of getting my commercial pilot's license," she explains, "Someday, I'd like to see it through; maybe then fly for a small charter company. But right now I'm still in love with skydiving, working in the sport and helping to mentor and coach others."
From the day Sam earned her solo skydiving license, the dynamo immediately set about designing her lifestyle to fit her new status as a highly mobile skydiver. For the summers, Sam would base herself at Skydive Pepperell, traveling all around the New England area for events. When the weather got chilly, she'd head down to Florida. She worked that circuit for about four years. For the past two, she's officially been a full-time skydiver, freefly coaching and organizing on the boogie circuit.
An Organizer with Empathy
One of the many cool things about Sam—and somewhat unique, in the upper echelons of organizing—is that she hasn't forgotten what it's like to be new. Because of that, she remains steadfastly patient, easygoing and inclusive which, as you might imagine, makes her an incredibly popular feature on the American boogie circuit.
"I can absolutely relate," she explains, "To it being intimidating. To wanting to learn something, but not wanting to slow everyone else down, or going on a jump where you're worried about you're the lowest-experienced person."
"Solving that, for me, is just about relating to them," she continues, "And saying you've been there. Sometimes, you still have the videos, so you can show them what you looked like when you were brand-new. But mostly, I like to be clear about the fact that we're all still learning, and to encourage people."
As most badass organizers do, Sam started out small, doing weekend organizing at Skydive City, which was technically her home drop zone. Three years ago, she leveled up. Her big break was at CarolinaFest, three years ago.
"I remember the first time I went to CarolinaFest," she recalls. "It was such a big drop zone—and it was a big event. I was nervous. I remember talking to some of the other organizers and asking their advice. They told me I'd learn as I went; that there's not really a handbook for this stuff. And they were right! It was—and still is—a learning experience."
Pushing Boundaries
As you might imagine, Sam is the kind of skydiver who relishes the challenge of a learning experience. She likes to extend that challenge to her personal skydiving progression, too—generally, by participating in great-big world records. Predictably, one of the favorite jumps she's ever done took place during one of those moments of intense challenge: when she did the most recent women's head-down world record, held at Skydive Arizona.
"That was my first world record," she explains. "And it was the largest successful formation I had ever been on. People talk about this feeling that you get when you get the record. That you KNOW, even though you're in freefall. Like there's this energy that goes through. And it's absolutely true. It's hard to describe, but there's an electricity that ignites throughout the formation, and you look around and it's just flying smoothly; it all comes together. That moment made everything up until that point completely worth it."
That's the kind of magic that Sam chases—and that she likes to share with the students and mentees with whom she works. If you'd like to enjoy some of it this summer, head to Skydive Chicago. Between boogies, that's where Sam will be. Just look for the glow of her smiling face in the Cookie helmet!
SAM's COOKIE
1. Cookie Model?
Cookie G3
Matte Black
3. Best sticker?
Maryland flag crab sticker, representing my hometown ("Hi, Mom and Dad!")
4. Best jump the helmet has been on?
The Women's Vertical Sequential World Record 2-point 26-way. (Got it on the first attempt!)
5. Special logo on the aluminum side plate?
Nope. Rocking the intro black plastic side plates.
6. Time you were happy that you were wearing your helmet?
I'm happy every jump I'm wearing my G3.

Orzo Salad with Chicken and Vegetables
I love a good pasta salad and this orzo salad does not disappoint. Fresh flavors, easy preparation and great at room temperature or straight out of the fridge.
Winter is all about soups, stews and roasts, but summer? Summer screams salad.
So do bikinis. Bikinis scream salad loudly (and probably not pasta salad).
But I kissed bikinis goodbye and said hello to my cute kids…and stretch marks.
But let's be honest — bikini, tankini, one-piece, t-shirt over your swimsuit, birthday suit (?!?), a little salad is always a good thing.
Okay yesssssssssss I know this is a PASTA salad. Whatever. Minor details, people.
Orzo Salad with Chicken and Vegetables
This orzo salad is a quick, easy meal that is refreshing and delicious. Leave the chicken out and add some beans or tofu for a great vegetarian meal.
- 8 ounces uncooked orzo
- juice of 1 lemon (about 1/4 cup)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups diced or shredded cooked chicken
- 1/2 of an English cucumber, chopped
- 1 large carrot, grated or julienned
- 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 cup to 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Cook pasta as directed on box. Strain and transfer to a very large bowl (it needs room to cool as well as room for all of the other ingredients–and stirring room!).
- While the pasta cooks, prepare dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, mustard, shallot, oil, salt and pepper.
- Add dressing and chicken to warm pasta and toss to combine. Place in fridge to chill.
- While the pasta is chilling, prep your vegetables and parsley. Add them to cooled (or mostly cooled) pasta and chicken mixture. Serve immediately or store in fridge until ready to eat.
Verdict: Loved this! I used a rotisserie chicken — it was a grocery store day and I love having a quick meal to throw together when I get home from the store.
Husband's take: He loved this too. He had seconds, and thirds. E liked it a lot too.
Changes I would make: None are necessary but this is the kind of thing that you could throw in any vegetables that you have in the house.
Difficulty: Easy!

The Women of Papal Avignon. A new Source: The Liber Divisionis of 1371
By Joëlle Rollo-Koster
The Journal of Women's History, Vol. 8 (1996)
Introduction: The history of southern French women during the late medieval period is still to be written. Luckily, a variety of sources such as notarial, judicial, and civil records, testaments and livres de raison, are preserved in the archives. In addition, and more specifically with an eye on Avignon, the administrative progress of the Avignonese papacy and historical fortune have preserved quantities of documents in the local departmental archives of the Vaucluse as well as the Vatican. One such document, the Vatican's Liber Divisionis of 1371, which survived the many peregrinations of the papacy to and from Rome and the Great Schism, offers some of the best evidence regarding the composition of the Avignonese population during the late fourteenth century, and therefore, can throw light on the role that women played in this large international city.
When the papal curia settled permanently in Avignon in 1316, a mass of immigrants flooded the city. The core of the Avignonese population, some five to six thousand natives, was augmented by thousands of newcomers. By the 1370s the total population approximated 30,000 people. The arrival of the Roman court introduced the city to a new demographic reality which was reflected in the vocabulary designating the various segments of the Avignonese population. In addition to the citizens (cives) native to Avignon, contemporary documents add qualifiers such as "inhabitant", "resident", or "follower of the Roman court" to denote persons who were not citizens. The noncitizens belonged to a more loosely defined group, the cortisiani (courtiers). The term encompassed all persons who arrived in Avignon specifically in the wake of the pope and his entourage. But any immigrant entering the city for the first time was automatically classified as a courtier.
The different segments of the Avignonese population were allocated to different courts of justice coexisting in the city during the papal residency, based on their status. For instance, Avignonese citizens and the Jewish community depended on the temporal court, headed by a vicar. The papal court of the marshal of justice administered justice to lay courtiers and curialists, who were not members of the pope's cardinals', or chamberlian's households.

Woman critically injured as car crashes onto footpath, hits pram in Chatswood

A woman walking along a footpath on Sydney's north shore has been struck by an out-of-control car and critically injured, police say.
Police said the Toyota sedan was travelling along Victoria Avenue near Chatswood Chase Shopping Centre in Chatswood just before 8.30am on Friday when it left the road.
It first struck a pram, before hitting the woman who was walking nearby along the footpath.
The vehicle then crashed into a pole, hit a motorbike and flipped onto its side, coming to rest on the footpath outside a Chinese restaurant.
Remarkably, the child in the pram was not injured but has been taken to a medical centre for precautionary checks.
The injured woman has no connection to the child, police said.
NSW Ambulance paramedics and CareFlight's medical team treated the woman, aged in her early 30s, for head injuries before taking her to Royal North Shore Hospital in a critical condition.
A witness, Oubie Elrish, was on Victoria Avenue getting coffee with his brother when the crash occurred in front of him.
"All we know is that he [the driver] mounted that curb, lady was walking that way, [the car] collected her, collected the second lady," Mr Elrish said.
"The second lady was alright, but the first lady was all bloodied and bruised. It wasn't a good sight.
"We just had her in our arms, and she wasn't too well."
He said it was "very lucky" only one person was injured, given how busy the shopping strip usually is.
A NSW Police spokeswoman said police had been told that the child in the pram was not injured and was taken by family to a medical centre to be checked as a precaution.
"Police are yet to confirm the child's age or sex," the spokeswoman said.
Police are understood to be investigating whether the 67-year-old male driver of the vehicle suffered a medical episode before crashing.
The driver was treated at the scene for minor injuries. He was taken to hospital for mandatory blood and urine testing, police said.

Oscars 2017: How Brad Pitt went from Hollywood hunk to movie mogul
David Oyewolo as Martin Luther King in Selma. Pitt starred in baseball movie Moneyball.
Chiwetel Ejiofor in 12 Years A Slave, for which Pitt won an Oscar as producer.
If you want to dazzle your friends on Monday with your depth of Oscar-related trivia, you might casually mention that Brad Pitt has been nominated for six Academy Awards, with one win so far. But if you really want to impress them, you'll need to remember the role for which he collected that little gold man.
Was it as the teeth-tapping madman Jeffrey Goines in 12 Monkeys, for which he was nominated as best supporting actor in 1996? Or as a man who lives his life in reverse in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (best actor 2009)? Or maybe as the number-crunching baseball team manager Billy Beane in Moneyball (best actor again, 2012)?
Actually, it was none of those.
Brad Pitt's sole Oscar win has come in the role for which he has garnered least notice to date – as a movie producer.
When 12 Years a Slave collected the best picture Oscar in 2014, Pitt was one of the five producers who took home a statuette (the best picture award is given to the producers, not the director, of the film). His co-winners were Steve McQueen, who also directed, independent producer Anthony Katagas, and Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner, the co-presidents of Plan B, Pitt's production company.
This year, his Plan B will be among the contenders again, with Moonlight up for eight Academy Awards, including best picture.
It is the fourth year straight the company has had a best picture nominee, after 12 Years… (2014), Selma (2015) and The Big Short (2016). In a relatively short space of time, it has emerged as a major-minor player, racking up receipts (global box office of more than $US2.1 billion), favourable notices, and award nominations, an uncommon trifecta in the movie business.
Pitt launched Plan B in 2001 with his then wife Jennifer Aniston and Hollywood executive Brad Grey. Grey exited soon after, when he was appointed top dog at Paramount (a job from which he has just been dumped, following a $US450 million loss for the studio last financial year).
When he and Aniston divorced, Pitt assumed sole ownership of the company, which had been around in name since 1996, passing through a few sets of hands before reaching the glamour couple.
The first film produced by Plan B was Troy, in 2004. It gave us the memorable sight of Pitt in a leather skirt, and was a reasonable success in commercial terms (taking about $US500 million worldwide, on a budget of $US175 million), but the sword-and-sandals epic gave little indication of the direction Plan B would head in years to come.
It didn't take long for this boutique production house to start mixing it with the big boys. In 2006, the firm produced Martin Scorsese's The Departed, which won four Oscars the following February, including best picture (including, finally, a best director award for Scorsese, who had been nominated and overlooked five times before that).
Pitt is listed in the movie's credits as one of that film's four producers. But only one of them, Englishman Graham King, received an Oscar.
That was down to the Academy's guidelines on who is eligible, which state in part: "The nominees will be those three or fewer producers who have performed the major portion of the producing functions." The rules are rubbery, though. Producing teams can sometimes be treated as a single producer, and producers ruled out can appeal, and sometimes be ruled back in.
At any rate, the Academy ruled in the case of The Departed that neither Pitt nor Grey was eligible. Nor will Pitt be invited onto the winners' podium should Moonlight win best picture next week – the nominated producers are Plan B's Gardner and Kleiner and independent producer Adele Romanski, who initiated the project with writer-director Barry Jenkins in 2013.
But while Gardner and Kleiner are clearly the driving forces in Plan B, Pitt isn't just a nominal producer. There are films on which he takes an executive producer credit – a sure sign that his involvement isn't very hands-on – but on plenty of Plan B's titles he is credited as one of a small number of producers. Indeed, on some of the company's forthcoming pictures (many of which will undoubtedly fall by the wayside) he is the only credited producer.
Hollywood is of course full of producers, some of whom might never have even been on a movie set. On Terrence Malick's Voyage of Time: Life's Journey, for instance, 23 people get a producer credit of some stripe (Pitt is one of seven listed as a producer proper).
The Producers Guild of America draws a distinction between those who have merely traded cash for cache or been cogs in a machine and those who have been genuinely instrumental in getting a film conceived, financed and/or distributed. The Academy largely follows suit when it comes to Oscar eligibility. It hasn't entirely stopped the stampede to the stage on awards night, but it has at least cut down on the work of those who engrave the names on the statuettes.
At 53, it seems Pitt is easing himself into a future where he will inevitably seem less viable as a leading man. He has 42 producer credits on imdb南京夜网. On about half of those he is listed as a producer – one of the people who actually make the thing happen – rather than an executive producer (someone who makes sure they make it happen, usually on behalf of a studio or other financial backer).
True, he also appears in many of the films he has a producer credit on, but it's often no more than a cameo or small role – just enough to help make the project more appealing to those who will bankroll, distribute or screen it.
It's a smart way to leverage on-screen appeal to build an off-screen business, but ultimately Plan B will have to outgrow its owner's star power if it is to go the distance. And that's where projects such as Moonlight and the Netflix TV series The OA matter so much. Their success owes nothing to Pitt onscreen.
Indeed, it's highly likely that at some point Plan B will become Pitt's plan A. Maybe that is already starting to happen.
The company has four films slated for release in the near future; Pitt is a producer of two, an EP of the other two, and appears in only one of them, War Machine, a satire about the military campaign in Afghanistan directed by Australian David Michod (Animal Kingdom).
Since 2010, Pitt has acted in 10 movies and produced 10. He has also produced two TV series. There have been big-budget blockbusters such as World War Z (with a sequel in the works, allegedly to be directed by David Fincher) and Fury, as well as quirky smaller films such as Moneyball and Kick-Ass.
And of course there have been the critical darlings.
To date, Plan B has notched up 36 Oscar nominations since its first (for costume design), in 2005, for Troy. It has won nine, and if the predictions hold true, Moonlight looks set to add to that tally come Monday.
Whether that happens of not, it's fair to say Pitt's plan B is working out just fine. For now at least, successful producer is a role he appears to have nailed. Plan B at the Oscars

Civil war as Abbott lights up against Turnbull and Shorten sits back

An uncivil war has broken out in the federal parliamentary Liberal Party, within the government of Australia.
Exaggeration? A livid Malcolm Turnbull doesn't seem to think so, judging by his demeanour.
And there's no exaggerating the anger of moderates Julie Bishop, Christopher Pyne, and even Abbott's old mate and right wing fellow traveller, Mathias Cormann.
The normally reserved, ultra-cautious, philosophically conservative Finance Minister, who stuck with Tony Abbott to the bitter end, has angrily cut the tag.
Admitting to being "flabbergasted", Cormann described Abbott's extraordinary interview on Sky News on Thursday evening as "completely unacceptable". And he went on, branding it deliberately unhelpful, hypocritical, and plain wrong.
'He's not helping our cause, he's not helping our country, he's not helping himself, much of what he says is either wrong or inconsistent with what he did,' Cormann responded via the same network on Friday morning.
Shades of 2012 when Wayne Swan, Nicola Roxon, Tony Burke et al, went on breakfast TV to reveal what they really thought about Kevin Rudd's prime ministership. We know where that all led.
Abbott of course, had promised not to become a wrecker – a now explosively broken pledge to add to those he shattered while at the helm of a government unparalleled for its dogma, its ludicrous inconsistencies (remember its gold-plated paid parental leave scheme), and its political tin ear.
Now, wounded and unpredictable, Abbott has obviously concluded he has nothing left to lose. In this guise he is an existential threat to the unity of the Coalition, its leadership, and its capacity to maintain public confidence.
Displaying a selective memory and no hint of responsibility for a government that slipped into negative territory quicker than any in polling history, Abbott accuses Turnbull's government of being "Labor light" and of drifting to defeat.
Actually, that "defeat" had been a virtual certainty under his leadership. And yet his prescription is be more like me.
The right is fracturing and it is doing it live on television. Its main institutional pillar, the Liberal Party, is riven with divisions. Abbott remains inside the tent where his presence portends catastrophic disunity. Others hold the same view and could wreak further havoc.
Just weeks ago Cory Bernardi legged it, taking his Senate sinecure with him while claiming the true conservative mantle. Pauline Hanson's One Nation nips at the Coalition's right flank, sending Nationals into paroxysms.
Danger abounds. Bernardi says Abbott still believes he can return. Right wingers who agree, grumble that Turnbull is still planning to revive gay marriage reforms and warn this would be the trigger. A pall of hate and suspicion has replaced the sunny optimism that accompanied Turnbull's arrival.
And a baying right wing media facilitates all of this, virtue signalling a "true" conservatism while delivering nothing but unproductive anger and of course, an electoral windfall to Bill Shorten.

Abbott calls it; Turnbull won't be provoked. Not half . . .
Former prime minister Tony Abbott's unspoken sixth point in his plan is that he must be returned as gang leader. Photo: Stefan PostlesIf the Liberal Party were a schoolyard – and really, it is, isn't it? – there'd be excitable kids rushing about, yelling that oldest of rallying cries: "Fight, fight, fight."
Here's Tony Abbott squaring off with his five-point plan for victory, neglecting only to shout the as-yet unspoken sixth, which is that he must be returned as gang leader.
And here's Malcolm Turnbull drawing a new line with his toe, a metre back from the one he drew before, and muttering "I won't be provoked."
Which sounds like a fellow whose alert level has just moved from agitated to adrenally disturbed.
Meanwhile, Christopher Pyne is dancing around, throwing shadow jabs and getting himself in a frightful lather of excitement. How dare Abbott, who Christopher once adored, nettle Malcolm, who Christopher has really, really come to cherish since the Adelaide $50 billion subs thing?
Lurking in the shadows, Eric Abetz and Kevin Andrews, the geriatrics from grade 13, are almost weeing themselves at the prospect that their champion bruiser might actually step across that line. Peter Dutton and Scott Morrison shift nervously, fearful that something could actually come of this madness and Abbott could beat them to the prize.
Abbott, once so scatter-brained he chose Prince Philip of the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Gl??cksburg as his knight defender, has clearly been working on his timing.
Pauline Hanson has been seeding ever-spreading broad-acre paddocks with a new anti-immigration strain. Jump on that tractor and call it a housing policy. Tick.
Turnbull and his own ministers have been questioning renewable energy and talking up coal in fear of increased energy costs. Get on that message and soup it up. Tick.
The Human Rights Commission? Its only remaining friends are lefties. Elite bullies who don't like freedom of speech, even if it's only to call little kids names. This is 2017, the year of Trump. Malcolm doesn't much like the commission any more, so he can't argue. Scrap it. Tick.
The Senate. Enough said. Drives people crazy. Been useful driving Malcolm crazy, of course, but wouldn't want that to continue under a sensible new leader. Reform it, whatever that means. Tick.
Oh, yes. And STOP THE SPENDING. Makes no actual sense, but you know, three-word slogans. They work. Tick.
A five-point plan. With a sixth to come.
"I won't be provoked," says Malcolm. Not half. He's already been provoked. Better sharpen the toe to draw another line.
Problem is, every kid knows that once a challenge is made in a schoolyard, there's no stepping away from it. You can hear the chant growing, and Bill Shorten's voice is joining in, loud with delight.
"Fight, fight, fight."

In a time of hot, angry air, simple pleasures rule

Mason Galpin, of Penola, won the supreme exhibit with his limousin cow at the Tyrendarra Show. Photo: Katrina Lovell
I attended a country show a couple of weeks ago.
It was one of those shows where chooks are awarded ribbons and there are tables groaning with scones and fruit cakes and creations with fancy icing and cooks eyeing off the competition; where shining horses prance about a show ring which doubles for a footy oval in winter and triples as a cricket ground in summer; and where you can still find a pavilion for a sit-down luncheon served by the good ladies of the district.
Burly blokes in singlets hefted pitchforks and hurled wheat bags stuffed with three and a half kilograms of oaten hay, their faces getting redder as they laboured to lob their sheaves over a bar that rose higher and higher during the heat of the day.
This was the 100th annual Tyrendarra Pastoral and Agricultural Show, or it would have been if they hadn't called it off in 1942 and 1943 because just about all the men in that far-west Victorian district had trooped off to war.
It is lore that a member of my father's family has been at every one of these shows since they began. With my dad gone, I was left to carry on the observance, accompanied by a daughter. I remembered my childhood when grandparents took me along and laid out a picnic in front of the highland dancing stage.
Family is a big thing at country shows – this year cousins cleaned up the first prizes in the produce section with their artistic arrangements of fruit and vegetables, won plaudits for their flowers and an aunt got a ribbon for her chutney.
There were no sideshow alley whirly rides.
There was, however, an old-time Punch and Judy puppet booth, and little kids squealed at it goggle-eyed as if TV and video games had never been invented.
Yes, and there was a wombat that escaped its enclosure, causing much leaping and carry-on as it hurtled among the feet of show-goers.
And I kept running into people I hadn't seen for years and swapping stories about our lives and those of our families.
The sun shone and the rest of the world seemed a long way away.
If that day at the show put me in mind of the infinite worth of simple pleasures, the idea was reinforced a couple of days ago when I opened up my Facebook account.
There is something of a dread in this process these days, where rants about Donald Trump, Pauline Hanson, Jacqui??? Lambie or Yassmin??? Abdel-Magied are becoming about as common as the daily requirement to send some old or new friend a birthday wish.
A distant friend posted that "I'm getting a bit tired of Facebook. It's all about news stories and they are all a bit the same – plus I've read them already. I want to know what's going on in my friends' lives."
It was as if she had opened a gate to a crowd that had been milling outside, starved.
Messages of the small, lovely things of life poured in. From everywhere.
"My homegrown tomatoes," someone wrote along with a photo of a bowl of the fruit. "I'm just so proud I had to share it with you."
"Here's my daughter in a bag," wrote another, supplying a picture of a baby peering out from a little cloth playpen.
"I am writing a book while looking after a friend's chickens and huge fruit and vegie garden and pondering a shift to the mountains and wondering if I will ever work full-time again," offered another.
And there was the woman who wrote that she had just received a phone call "that made my heart squeeze".
"Doctor phoned to let me know that Gracie girl does not have a torn ligament in her knee, nor any other nasties and will now be free to dominate at softball in a week or so."
"I'm in the Solomon Islands meeting award-winning local cocoa farmers who are now teaching others to improve their growing and processing techniques to access global markets, benefiting entire communities" revealed some fellow. "Inspiring." And a photographer announced she was on location in Germany, working on an exhibition to be called "Walking in Wiesbaden".
There was a little tale of a christening (the baby wore "her great-great aunt's christening dress which is 100+ years old"), of a broken wrist just as a house was being prepared for sale, of children born and kitchens renovated, of a son who confessed to being surprised at how easy it was to live without a phone after losing his in a mugging, of a grandmother who had just been married (with photo), and the news from someone else that "oh, and I cooked a chook the other night".
On and on went the small stories of lives being lived."My son caught a bus from an unfamiliar suburb to another unfamiliar suburb all by himself (if you don't count a few frantic text messages)," informed a mother, with an update: "HOME AT LAST."
And this: "Well, I went to the Kangaroo Valley Show on Saturday", accompanied by an amusing picture of a blow-up shark jumping castle.
In a time that seems often to have surrendered to the shouted insult and where antagonists insist we take a side, it is worth knowing that much of it is wasted breath, and that true value resides in the small, universal and often unspoken things: simple pleasures.

Head To Cherrapunji - The Wettest Place In India!
Tucked high above the southern branches of the Khasi Hills filled with clouds, is also known as Sohra and is a scenic and mesmerizing little hamlet dug out of a dissected plateau in the state of Meghalaya.
The true beauty of Cherrapunji lies in its pine forested hills, which is filled with gushing streamlines, cascading waterfalls and to add on its climate which is rejuvenating and lives up to its name. The place is covered by clouds which form a curtain that gives it a touch of the climate and nature of Scotland.
With misty valleys and swirling clouds, Cherrapunji is located at a height of 4500 feet, which makes it a stunning location and a place that receives rain all throughout the year. The rains here opened up the doors for Cherrapunji to enter into the Guinness Book of World Records as the wettest place on earth.
Best Time To Visit Cherrapunji:
Being a place which receives the heaviest rainfall in the country, there is pretty much only one season which is the monsoon. The rainfall here differs from heavy ones to medium and light. In simple words, there is no month here that does not receive any rainfall.
A uniqueness here is that it rains mostly in the night, and due to this factor, the day activity is least disrupted by rainfall.
As the days go by, Cherrapunji does not change with its seasons, but it follows the various patterns of rainfall. The months from May to September experience the heaviest rainfalls, the clouds change their colours from white to darker shades and in a matter of few seconds, there would be a whiplash of rain.
Throughout the months, the place undergoes a transformation to a sea of gushing rivulets. The raindrops beat nonstop on the rooftops and treetops, which creates a harmony of the sounds of the rain that can only be enjoyed in the Northeastern states.
As the month of September wraps up, the rain changes from its forceful one to a gentle patter.
The residents of Cherrapunji are predominately who belong to the tribe of Khasis. As the intensity of the rain reduces power, the flora and fauna do change. From the dark clouds, one can notice the sun playing a game of hidden and seek along with the appearance of a rainbow.
Unlike other places, which receive heavy rainfall, the hill here does not have a lush green vegetation. But it is replaced with woods in patches and opens up a box full of surprises, which is a wide variety of rare orchids, fems and moss.
Cherrapunji produces one of the best oranges and pineapples. An interesting factor is that the oranges of Cherrapunji are the ancestors to the famous Nagpuri oranges.
The famous living root bridges are also found here, the bridge is made out of the roots of the ficus elastica tree that grows a series of secondary roots, which extend to long distances and the roots get stronger as the time passes by. The bridge is so strong that it can hold up to 50 people in one single go; two words to summarize - simply marvelous.

I was inspired by 10 year old beginning flute player at church. I miss teaching (but at 80 years old... I don't miss reed-making)...I decided to buy a flute and ordered this teacher's package. It was impressive on screen. It is more impressive live. I could see that it was going to be careful and systematic in building a foundation... and it is. In a month I have walked myself through the first 2 books with lots of guidance and the mp3 tracks have helped improve my tone and pitch. Today Emily and I lead the congregation in Amazing Grace and two more flute students have come forward. We'll soon offer flute quartet hymns. Yesterday I received a flute with curved head-joint and I'm eager to work with a very young student. I'm having a ball and the Blocki system has made it so easy.

New concept! Worth buy!
I'm a flute teacher in Malaysia who have heard of the Kinderflute before. I was led to this website and exposed with the Kathy Blocki method which was quite different from what I've experienced learning since young. I've tried the method with my students and found it very effective! Thank you for everything!

great value
I had the good fortune to hear Kathy speak at the Australian Flute Festival a few years ago. At the time I bought a book of her duets, which I use constantly and love, and a Pneumo Pro, which I thought was just irresistibly cute. However, it has proved very seriously worth having for beginner students struggling to get a sound and, more especially, for teenagers battling with orthodontic work. Now I am so glad to have more of Kathy's wonderful resources to incorporate into my teaching and enhance my students' learning and enjoyment of the flute. What a great package! Thank you.

Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie: Jon Gruden not 'pushing me out'
In January, new Raiders head coach Jon Gruden sat at a podium next to general manager Reggie McKenzie and said personnel decisions would be a "collaborative effort" between the two.
That assertion has met with repeated skepticism in the ensuing months — for such reasons as Gruden's status and 10-year contract, owner Mark Davis reportedly saying in March that "it's important that (Gruden) gets the players he wants," and, most recently, the trading of two of McKenzie's first-round draft picks.
The trade of receiver Amari Cooper to Dallas on Monday was the latest move in what has been a roster overhaul for the Raiders since Gruden's arrival. Addressing the trade with reporters, McKenzie gave an almost defiant answer when asked about the perception that he has ceded authority to Gruden when it comes to decision-making.
"You talk about pulling the strings — Gruden and I, we work together very well," McKenzie said Monday. "Let's get no mistakes about him pushing me out. That's not happening. Me not being able to work with Gruden, that's furthest from the truth, OK? We work really well together."
Of the 50 players drafted by the Raiders from 2012 — when McKenzie became general manager — to 2017, eight are on their 53-man roster. Two others are on injured reserve or the reserve/physically unable to perform list. Two of their five first-round picks in that time (safety Karl Joseph and cornerback Gareon Conley) remain but have played reduced roles this season.
Since Gruden's arrival, meanwhile, the Raiders have parted with 16 players drafted from 2012 through '17. Those include the high-profile trades of edge rusher Khalil Mack to Chicago on Sept. 1, and of Cooper, a two-time Pro Bowl receiver, to the Cowboys. Each trade netted draft assets for the Raiders, who own three first-round picks in 2019.
Though Gruden did not address Bay Area reporters Monday, McKenzie described the Cooper deal as "an opportunity that I felt I couldn't pass on." Later, he characterized reports of disconnect between him and Gruden — including an NFL Network report from September that Gruden has his own staff for evaluating personnel and the draft — as "comical a little bit."
"We've got one draft board, OK?" McKenzie said. "Every coaching staff that I've been a part of, from Green Bay to Gruden's staff, I want to know how the coaches rank each player. So that's not going to change. I want to know how they like players. But to say they have their own draft board — they have their own way of doing it because that's the way our system is put up, that's the way I've always done it. But when we go in the big draft room, that's what we go by."
There have been instances of Gruden and McKenzie seeming not to be on the same page. After the trade of Mack, McKenzie insisted the mega-deal previously reached between the Rams and pass-rusher Aaron Donald had not affected the Raiders' thinking. Gruden said the amount of guaranteed money in Donald's deal was "something we could not do" with Mack.
On Monday, after the Cooper trade, Gruden did talk to ESPN, reportedly saying: "We're not trading anyone else." That came shortly after McKenzie told local reporters: "There's always opportunities there for trades. We've got another week."
McKenzie did echo Gruden's words from last week in saying the Raiders are "not tanking this season." McKenzie was asked what the Cooper trade then says to the locker room and fans.
"Well, the opportunity," McKenzie said. "We're building this thing in concert together. I'm talking about me and coach Gru. We're building this thing together. … I think these picks are going to help this team tremendously, bottom line."
As a result of the Mack and Cooper trades, the Raiders own five first-round picks in the next two drafts.
"This is where we get a great opportunity to build," McKenzie said. "We've got pieces now. But we can really build on what we have. And with this group of coaches that I've got here, now, knowing where we're headed schematically on both sides of the ball and special teams, we're going to build this thing."
Two years ago, the Raiders finished 12-4 and made the postseason. They have traded two key players from that team in the past two months, with some viewing the Cooper trade as a signal that the Raiders — at 1-5, with Gruden on a long-term deal and relocation to Las Vegas looming in 2020 — are entering into a full rebuild.
"We're building on what we have," McKenzie said. "We've got some pieces. The bottom line is building with what we have in here now. We've got a lot of free agents that are coming about. And we've got to have some impact players. More impact players. I want to do it from the ground up, from the standpoint of drafting."

On February 12, 1982, 13 Reporters of Decisions and their assistants gathered in Washington, DC, to discuss the possibility of forming a national organization. The meeting was hosted by Henry C. Lind, the Reporter of Decisions for the United States Supreme Court. Justice Byron R. White addressed the gathering. Mr. Lind had invited every American Reporter of Decisions he could find. From the 27 state and 5 federal reporters contacted, Mr. Lind received 25 affirmative responses. The group unanimously adopted Mr. Lind's resolution calling for the formation of a national association, although no final decision was made as to the organization's title.
A second organizational meeting was held in July 1982 at the Maryland Court of Appeals. At that time, the group adopted bylaws and selected the name "National Association of Reporters of Judicial Decisions." All present were enrolled as charter members, and the Association's first meeting was convened. Henry C. Lind was elected president. Shortly after the Association's founding, the word "National" was dropped when the group attracted an international membership.
