A Facebook social media account claiming to be Edgerton Town Council member Josie Stambaugh was revealed at the town council meeting on Thursday July 14.
Stambaugh addressed the council and said she spoke as a resident and business owner.
"It should be taken seriously," she said. "It has come to my attention that a slanderous Facebook page mocking me with two council members engaging in it is out there."
Stambaugh said the page titled Fauxsie Stambaugh using the logo of her hair salon Gypsy Rose was created in August and believed it was out of sheer malice.
She said council members Deb Lebakken and Josh Beem interacted with the site through comments and suspected that one of them created the page.
"My campaign money does not fund my personal life," she said. "I work six days a week. I work hard. I own a successful business. It's child bullying and cyberbullying. This should be an embarrassment to the city as a whole.
Stambaugh said she expected the site to be taken down immediately and wanted an apology.
Lebakken said it wasn't his Facebook page. Beem has made no public comment.
Mayor Don Roberts said their city attorney, Lee Hendricks, warned them in the past about how they use social media sites as city officials once elected.
Hendricks said he understood Stambaugh's frustration.
"I don't know who created this," he said. "I am against the council being on Facebook. I don't see this as a city affair.
Stambaugh said it wouldn't be a city business if she wasn't on city council, but since she is, she sees it as something the city should help run.
Hendricks said he saw many unflattering posts about the city on social media.
"There will be ramifications to this, but I cannot be involved. This creates discontent and I will not dwell on it further.
Hendricks said he was not representing any individual government official, but the city as a whole.
"I take this seriously," he said. "There are many facets to a case. The approach in prior litigation is that we do not comment on this. Some things here have gone off the rails. »
Stambaugh said she plans to take action and go public with the matter.
"I hope to shed some light on those named and elected and put it on the public record for public knowledge," she said.
Stambaugh said the online comments were embarrassing and very rude.
"I find it very disrespectful that people laugh and scoff when their livelihoods are at stake," she said.
Stambaugh told Gardner News that the level of immaturity associated with this page and the involvement of city council members who represent an entire city is not only in very bad taste, but also hurts his reputation and his business.
"The fact that this page has been active for over a year and I'm only discovering it now shows complete negligence on their part and I consider them defamation for what they said," she said. declared. "I intend to file a police report and take legal action against them as this page was maliciously created with intent to harm my personal and professional life."
Stambaugh filed a police report with the Johnson County Sheriff's Office the following afternoon. She said she spoke with two officers who said it was at the very least stalking and possibly impersonation.
Stambaugh said a warrant is in the works for Facebook to find the creator; as well as a stalking order against council members Deb Lebakken and Josh Beem, Nate Eggleston, John Daly and Shelby Roberts, wife of Mayor Don Roberts.
"An officer said because it involves my business and my staff (not just politics) that being 'an elected official' or being fair game is not accurate in this case," she said. "I am appalled that the city takes no action to reprimand them for their actions and involvement. This should be embarrassing not just for the two referenced board members, but for Edgerton as a whole. I will continue to work for the residents and represent them with grace, understanding and class.
Stambaugh said he was told it was identity theft and criminal impersonation of an elected official.
However, on Monday afternoon, the wife of Edgerton police officer Brad Johnson told the sheriff's department they shouldn't be involved after screenshots of the engagement were shown. Officer Johnson on the page, she said.
"Captain Martinez and two officers said they couldn't find a statute for these types of matters," Stambaugh said. "They have their hands tied because of the district attorney."
Stambaugh said she was disappointed with the sheriff's department's U-turn and hired former Johnson County prosecutor Jason Covington to represent her.
Gardner News contacted other public officials to find out how they would handle this type of issue.
Gardner city manager Jim Pruetting said Gardner had no slander policy but would encourage the party to hire an attorney. He said they would also give the party who created the fake page the option to take it down and hire a lawyer.
Sergeant Jesse Valdez, Johnson County Public Information Officer, said he was unsure if it was a fraud, but it looked like a tough case that required the assistance of an attorney. penalist.
He said that unfortunately people don't hesitate to do anything about identity fraud.
Gardner News has also contacted Attorney General Derek Schmidt's office.
John Milburn, public information officer, said their office provides legal representation to the state and its agencies.
"As the principal legal adviser to the state government, the Attorney General may not serve as legal counsel or counsel to citizens or businesses, nor is the Attorney General authorized or allocated the resources necessary to provide legal advice, interpretation or advice to individuals or businesses," he said. "You may wish to contact a private attorney for advice."
In 1998, the Kansas Legislature passed a criminal law recognizing that those whose identity has been stolen are victims. KSA 21-4018 is considered a level 7 felony.
In 2016, Attorney General Derek Schmidt signed Bill 2460 into law. The bill requires companies, government agencies and others that collect and hold personal information about customers or others to exercise due diligence" to prevent information in their possession from being inappropriately disclosed to the identity. thieves or whoever.
"For better or for worse, we live in an age where information is truly power," Schmidt said at the time. "All sorts of business and government entities, big and small, collect volumes of information about people that are supposed to be kept confidential. This new law ensures that there is legal recourse available to the Attorney General's office when entities that collect this type of information fail to meet their duty to handle it properly to prevent unauthorized disclosure.
Schmidt said identity theft is one of the fastest growing crime categories in the United States.
"In a world where identity thieves go to great lengths to gain access to consumers' personal information, it is no exaggeration to demand that businesses, government and other entities that collect individuals' personal information at appropriate purposes be cited to exercise due diligence to prevent their inappropriate disclosure to scammers and criminals," he said.
At press time, Gardner News was unable to find any specific laws on impersonating a government official outside of law enforcement, the election office, or officials of health.
However, in February this year, Wichita Mayor Brandon Whipple sued three lawmakers in a libel case that began in 2019: Sedgwick County Commissioner Michael O'Donnell, former City Councilman James Clendinin of Wichita and former State Representative Michael Capps.
They were being sued for false attack advertising during the mayor's 2019 campaign.
One of the alleged misrepresentations claimed the mayor had sexually harassed women.
Lawyers said their defendants did not know the statements were false.
Mayor Whipple's counter-lawyer argued that they knew this and even though Whipple won the mayoral election, he still has merit and caused damage to his reputation.
The case begins on July 11.
Gardner News could not receive a response from the Johnson County District Attorney's Office at press time.

Zeb Andrews at Camerawork Gallery
December 1, 2018 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Zeb Andrews, Sea
December 1 – January 4, 2019.
Artist Talk, Saturday, December 1, 3PM – 4PM
Artist Reception, Saturday, December 1, 4PM – 5:30PM.
Camerawork Gallery
301 N. Graham Street, Portland, OR 97227
Located in Lorenzen Conference Center – Legacy Emanuel Medical Center Campus.
9am – 6pm, Monday-Saturday, Sunday, 10am-4pm
Free off street parking available, Stair and elevator access, TriMet Routes 4, 24 and 44
Portland photographer Zeb Andrews will be sharing selections from "Sea", a series of medium format film images made during his many trips to the Pacific coast of Oregon and Washington. Andrews is a prolific photographer who has been working in the Portland photographic community for nearly two decades as an educator with various institutions and on the retail side of things with Blue Moon Camera and Machine. For as long as he has been involved with the local community, he has been photographing along the Oregon coast for even longer.
Made predominantly using a Hasselblad camera older than he is, and with B&W film, "Sea" represents a portion of the Pacific Ocean images that reflect Andrews' attempts to understand and explain his relationship with the ocean. Visiting in a variety of weather, returning again and again, and using neutral density filters to lengthen the time he stands there watching the waves, "Sea" contains images that explore where our coastline and the ocean meet over spans of time and year-round. His images capture tranquility as well as tempestuousness; they invoke beauty but also caution and danger. Their scope ranges from stretches of coast reaching miles into the distance, to smaller and more intimate nooks along the shoreline. Through it all, "Sea" offers a glimpse of many different oceans—each with a different emotional resonance for Andrews.
Zeb Andrews has lived the entire 40 years of his life in the Pacific Northwest and within easy distance of the Pacific Ocean. Most of his photographic life has been spent on its windswept shores, breathing its salty air and making photographs to slowly piece together the puzzle of what it all means to him. Andrews is many other things, just as the ocean can be many things, but this is the facet of himself he would most have you know. At least for now.
This will be Andrews' second solo exhibit at Camerawork Gallery. He held his first-ever solo exhibit at Camerawork Gallery in February, 2008.
More of Zeb's work can be found on his website at www.zebandrews.com, and he can also be e-mailed at email@example.com.

Hi everyone!
I'm in the process of converting our Sims 2 meshes to Sims 3, and having a little break inbetween to play World Adventures.
My plan is to create a big tomb... on the side of creating and converting. I'm finding it takes me so long to explore WA in the snippets of time I play, so I guess my lot idea will take time.
The Arizona Living Set will be coming shortly to TSR, after I make some enhancements and update it due to some WA issues. The version on www.holysimoly.com will be replaced too.

Hehe thank you for the comment on my downloads! It's always a pleasure to recieve comments from other artists. For the glowing table I just used the 'full bright' shader and made it recolourable by using the technique that is used to make recolourable glass. I thought someone had written a resource on it but apparently not yet. I'll scribble some notes down for you over on Facebook.

How to Change Your Mind - Prologue and Chapter 1 Summary
The prologue of How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence by Michael Pollan serves to provide the reader with important context for both the content of the book as well as the more personal nature of the book for Pollan. The concept for the book came from research Pollan did while writing a New Yorker article about the use of psychedelics as medical treatment, specifically the use of a guided psilocybin session to help reduce anxiety around death for cancer patients. Many personal anecdotes note the spiritual experiences brought about by taking psychedelics which caused Pollan to reflect on the potential to expand his own perceptions and led to his personal experiences with psychedelics being an integral part of the book.
The first chapter of How to Change Your Mind covers the history of the psychedelics, including LSD, psilocybin, Ayahuasca and 5-MeO-DMT, focused on in the book. Although all the listed substances are classified as psychedelics, each has a unique history shaping how the drug is perceived by the public, politicians and scientists. Early research on psychedelics in the 1950s demonstrated the potential for psychedelics to be used as treatments for a range of conditions. However, in the 1960s psychedelics, and specifically LSD, became associated with a perceived decline in the morality of society. This perceived decline led Richard Nixon to declare a war on drugs and sign the Controlled Substances Act, which classified all psychedelics as schedule one drugs. The Controlled Substances Act essentially halted psychedelics research until 2006, when activists and scientists worked together to get the first psychedelics trial of the 21st century off the ground at John Hopkins. The study focused on the spiritual nature of guided psilocybin trips and, although the study design likely biased participants, many participants found the experience to be both spiritual and life changing.

Editor's note: Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis, a 21-year-old man, has been arrested on suspicion of planning to blow up the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, federal officials said. Authorities say he attempted to detonate what he believed was a 1,000-pound bomb. Below are major developments as we received them. Read the full story here.[Posted at 6:06 p.m. ET] Nafis, wearing street clothes and represented by a public defender, was arraigned a little while ago during a five-minute hearing in a New York courtroom. No bail application has been made. Prosecutors will have 30 days to officially indict him.
The public defender said she would not comment to reporters. Nafis will be held for now at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, U.S. attorneys say.
[Posted at 4:18 p.m. ET] Paul J. Browne, deputy commissioner of the New York City Police Department, released the following statement on the alleged plot:
"Whether al -Qaeda operatives like (2003 Brooklyn Bridge suspect) Iyman Faris or those inspired by them like (2011 suspect in bomb-making case) Jose Pimentel, terrorists have tried time and again to make New York City their killing field. We're up to 15 plots and counting since 9/11, with the Federal Reserve now added to a list of iconic targets that previously included the Brooklyn Bridge, the New York Stock Exchange, and Citicorp Center.
After 11 years without a successful attack, it's understanding if the public becomes complacent. But that's a luxury law enforcement can't afford.
Vigilance is our watchword now and into the foreseeable future. That's why we have over 1,000 police officers assigned to counter-terrorism duties every day, and why we built the Domain Awareness System. I want to commend the NYPD detectives and FBI agents of the Joint Terrorist Task Force for the work they did in the case and in other ways every day to help New York City safe from terrorists."
[Posted at 4:08 p.m. ET] U.S. Attorney Loretta E. Lynch from the Eastern District of New York made the following statement regarding the alleged terror plot attack:
"As alleged in the complaint, the defendant came to this country intent on conducting a terrorist attack on U.S. soil and worked with single-minded determination to carry out his plan.
The defendant thought he was striking a blow to the American economy. He thought he was directing confederates and fellow believers. At every turn, he was wrong, and his extensive efforts to strike at the heart of the nation's financial system were foiled by effective law enforcement.
We will use all of the tools at our disposal to stop any such attack before it can occur. We are committed to protecting the safety of all Americans, including the hundreds of thousands who work in New York's financial district.
I would like to thank our partners at the FBI, NYPD, the other agencies who participate in the JTTF, and the Department of Justice's National Security Division, for their hard work on this important investigation. I would also like to thank the security teams at the New York Federal Reserve Bank and the New York Stock Exchange for their assistance."
[Posted at 4:08 p.m. ET] Nafis appeared to have had a back-up plan.
He met an undercover agent that supplied him with what he thought were explosives on Wednesday morning. After meeting up, they both traveled in a van to a warehouse, the Justice Department said.
That's apparently when Nafis told the agent he had a "Plan B."
If Nafis felt his attack was about to be thwarted by cops, he would invoke the back-up plan, which involved a suicide bombing operation, the criminal complaint alleges.
When the pair arrived at the warehouse, Nafis began putting together what he thought was a 1,000-pound bomb inside the van. Then they drove together to the target: The New York Federal Reserve Bank. As they drove, he armed the purported by putting together the detonator and the explosives, the criminal complaint says.
The van was then parked next to the bank. The pair went to a nearby hotel, where Nafis apparently recorded a video statement meant to be shown to the American public in connection with the attack.
"We will not stop until we attain victory or martyrdom," he said, according to the criminal complaint.
He then tried, several times unsuccessfully, to detonate the device, which was actually inert explosives.
Nafis was then arrested.
A good portion of the sting operation was caught on tape, according to a source familiar with the investigation.
[Posted at 3:59 p.m. ET] The plot came to light as an FBI undercover agent posed as an al-Qaeda facilitator, federal authorities say.
Nafis asked the undercover agent for 50-pound bags of what he thought were explosives, and then worked on putting together an explosive device, according to prosecutors.
"Nafis purchased components for the bomb's detonator and conducted surveillance for his attack on multiple occasions in New York City's financial district in lower Manhattan," a Justice Department press release describing the criminal complaint said. "Throughout his interactions with the undercover agent, Nafis repeatedly asserted that the plan was his own and was the reason he had come to the United States."
[Posted at 3:56 p.m. ET] We now have some more detail about the plot to blow up the reserve bank from a press release that breaks down the criminal complaint filed against Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis:
The Bangladeshi national allegedly came to the United States in January to carry out a terror attack on U.S. soil and said he had overseas connections to al-Qaeda. As he attempted to recruit others to join his cell, he tried to recruit someone who turned out to be an FBI source, the criminal complaint says.
Nafis initially had a few targets in mind, according to the complaint, including "a high-ranking U.S. official and the New York Stock Exchange." In the end, Nafis settled on the New York Federal Reserve Bank, federal officials said.
"In a written statement intended to claim responsibility for the terrorist bombing of the Federal Reserve Bank on behalf of al-Qaeda, Nafis wrote that he wanted to 'destroy America' and that he believed the most efficient way to accomplish this goal was to target America's economy," the Justice Department press release said. "In this statement, Nafis also included quotations from 'our beloved Sheikh Osama bin Laden' to justify the fact that Nafis expected that the attack would involve the killing of women and children."
The "explosives that he allegedly sought and attempted to use had been rendered inoperable by law enforcement and posed no threat to the public," according to a statement from U.S. Attorney Loretta E. Lynch.
[Posted at 3:41 p.m. ET] Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis, 21, was arrested for allegedly attempting to detonate what he thought was a 1,000-pound bomb at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in Manhattan, the Department of Justice and a U.S. attorney's office said in a press release.
He will be charged with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and attempting to provide material support to al-Qaeda, the press release said.
[Posted at 3: 40 p.m. ET] A man has been arrested for planning to blow up the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, according to a federal law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation.
The man was arrested as part of a string operation conducted by the FBI and NYPD as part of the Joint Terrorism Task Force, a federal law enforcement source said.
"Attempting to destroy a landmark building and kill or maim untold numbers of innocent bystanders is about as serious as the imagination can conjure. The defendant faces appropriately severe consequences," FBI Acting Assistant Director Mary Galligan said in a statement. "It is important to emphasize that the public was never at risk in this case, because two of the defendant's 'accomplices' were actually an FBI source and an FBI undercover agent. The FBI continues to place the highest priority on preventing acts of terrorism."
he so stupid america the greatest country in the world gives him the opportunity to come here to start a new life and to live the real freedom not like his country where they suffer from starvation and injustice and civil war what islam he talking about islam didn`t say kill people islam is peace ,thanks god for being a muslim from this great country the deam land ,when i was in my country i was broke ,scared to disagree with the gov but i was one of the luckiest to come to this wonderful country god bless america
where was john mcclane?
he was in traffic with samuel L jackson
Great work again NYPD and FBI. Thank you.
Hey Joe. You left your copy of men's health in the bathroom stall! I'll leave it on your desk.
Yet another patsy. It is always the same story.
Is it? Please tell us how this is the same story. Are you implying that the NYPD and the FBI just concocted this scheme to keep us dumb Americans off balance. What would they possibly have to gain from doing that?
Who could possibly believe that the government is so competant as to infiltrate every secret plot in its infancy? I'm in shock that people still fall for this.
ChrisVC, if you think for a moment, that this guy could'nt have done it without the goverment, and that somehow is wrongfully accused, you are not living in the real world. It could have taken longer, but he would've killed someone in the name of "Allah" if not a whole lotta people. Kudos to our law enforcement.
What are the odds a guy named Mohammed would be involved?
no need to over analyze here...there was a guy who wanted to commit a terrorist act against us....our agents tricked him...we arrested him.....point to the good guys.
Point to the imperial bad guys, I guess.
I what the charge is going to be? Illegal parking?
I'm not a legal expert, but trying to "detonate" a bunch of play-do isn't illegal...
Obviously not a legal expert...It's called conspiracy to commit terrorism, and yes, it is a very serious crime.
"He will be charged with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and attempting to provide material support to al-Qaeda, the press release said." .........read closely
Waaaah! too all of you devisive goons trying to make this political! You'd be the first ones claiming your friends and family in New York and humpin fire fighter love! Why don't you take a step back and think about if this actually happened. These wackos WILL get us again, eventually. Hopefully you will have an angle to exploit the event with when it happens. GOOD JOB FBI!!! KEEP IT UP!!
Trolls are at it again. Clearly the commenters that are complaigning that this guy would of had zero resources to plot this himself don't know how this stuff works. We got to him first ! So we led him on yes. What if he found his own source (its possible).
Is this the same terrorist that Obama said is a misunderstood muslim?
Pics or it didn't happen.
With a name like Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafism you are destined to blow stuff up.
Is this program similar to "FAST & FURIOUS" ???

In the difficult years preceding the Revolution of 1917, Roerich retreated into the remote isolation of the Karelian countryside, where he continued his spiritual journey and artistic growth. Present monumental masterpiece, painted in Sortavala in 1918, is one of the most important works of that period and arguably one of the greatest achievements of his entire artistic legacy.
During the Karelian period (1916-18), Roerich withdrew from civilization into the magnificent northern landscape, discovering a profoundly spiritual experience and finding a new artistic direction. As the artist wrote in his autobiographical novel 'Flame':
One can hardly find the same cheerfulness and energy that the North gives you... When a person finds himself in nature, he is like a child. A child sometimes sees a nightmare, but it is enough for him to open his eyes to find himself in Paradise again... I feel enough energy to begin a new chapter in my life. Nothing concerns me anymore and my past is not bothering me... My sight is set on the future (Nikolai Roerich, 'Flame,' Paths of Enlightenment, New York, 1924, pp. 32-56).
The painting depicts an emaciated hermit in stoic contemplation: praying stylite amongst an outcrop of rocks. His beard has grown long enough to touch his knees, attesting to the duration of the man's spiritual quest. Though withered, he presents a powerful figure, standing upright and intently staring into the light above. His feet have fused with the rock beneath: the stylite is integrating with his beautiful surrounds and perhaps the Universe above. The monolithic cliffs and rigid rocks that hover in the distance above the figure resemble human faces, implying that his journey is one of thousands in a timeless tradition of sacred contemplation.
The themes and content of this painting resemble Roerich's own spiritual transformation during this time, as evinced the poem 'Light,' which he wrote in 1918:
...Who discovered that, which does not know
neither form, nor sound, nor taste,
has no end and no beginning?
In the dark, when everything
ceases to be, the thirst of the dessert and the salt
of the ocean! I will await Thy radiance.
Before Thy Face the sun does not shine. The moon
does not shine. Nor stars, nor flames, nor
lightening. The rainbow does not glow, the aurora
borealis does not light the north.
Only Your face is radiant.
Everything is illuminated in Your light...(Nikolai Roerich, Colours of Moria, Berlin, 1921).
Painted with remarkable precision, this painting brings into focus the artist's command of color and composition. The rich colour palette consists of iridescent, shimmering tones and hues that harmoniously blend together, infusing the work with mesmerizing richness and intriguing depth, and guiding the viewer's eye from the figure in the foreground to the rock formation in the center of the painting and the cliffs in the distance. This masterly effect encourages the viewers' own intimate experience with the painting and perhaps invites them to contemplate their own spiritual journey.
Writing about her encounter with Roerich at his first solo exhibition in America at Gallery Kingor in the winter of 1920, the vice-president of the Roerich Institute for United Arts in New York, Zinaida Fosdick, left one of the most vivid descriptions of the effect of this painting:
As I was standing before 'The Treasure of Angels,' 'Pagan Russia,' and 'Ecstasy' – three enormous canvases of supreme beauty and calmness... I could not hear the crowd anymore, it went away and got silent. I was standing face to face with Infinity. It was hard to breathe and tears filled my eyes, and thoughts and feelings filled my heart... (Z.G. Fosdik, 'Meeting with my Master,' My teachers. Meetings with the Roerichs, 1998, pp. 33-39).
The artist began work on this painting a year earlier, perfecting the composition in 1917 with a pencil drawing, and progressing to a study in color which examined the hermit's body and elements of the surrounding landscape in greater detail. The final painting, with its tighter composition, inner tension and brilliant colors sharpens the tones conveyed in these sketches and brings them to a monumental scale and grandeur.
Roerich titled his preliminary study Stolpnik (a designation of an orthodox saint who achieved sainthood through a specific type of a long prayer outdoors), but the final version was instead titled Predstoyaschii, literally 'standing before.' After Roerich's emigration the work received the title 'Ecstasy,' which was used when the work was prominently exhibited as a part of Roerich's personal shows in London and New York. Between 1920 and1923, the exhibition successfully toured the United States, with shows in Boston, Chicago, St. Louis, San Francisco, Cleveland, Detroit and many other cities. From 1924 the painting an honorable place in the permanent collection of then newly created Roerich Museum in New York. In 1935, it was transferred into the possession of the president of the museum, Louis Horch, and in 1971 it became a part of the art collection of the Brandeis University Museum in Massachusetts. Thereafter it was long unavailable to specialist and collectors, carefully preserved and hidden with museums and private collections. Fortunately, this beautiful masterpiece is now back in public view, where it can garner the appreciation and contemplation it so richly deserves.
<...> «Экстаз» является одной из самых мощных картин того времени. «Путь в Индию» есть скрытый смысл её, и, глядя на неё, чувствуешь связь, хотя может быть на это нельзя указать точно. Огромная масса скалы, громоздившаяся на протяжении веков, занимает почти всё полотно. Можно выделить три профиля, высеченные в этих камнях, один трагический, один эмбриональный, и один в виде броска животного. Но ещё более поразительной является малая фигура аскета, вокруг ноги которого, муравьи уже построили свои холмы, пока он стоит неподвижно, погружённый в созерцание. Вся картина купается в тёмно роскошных цветах, в которых преобладают фиолетовые, голубые и коричневые с тёмно- сине - зелёными и розовыми оттенками, переходящими в красный. Цвет создаёт эффект драгоценного камня радужного опала, когда на него смотришь с разных ракурсов. <...>
Одна из последних картин Рериха «Экстаз» выставляется им теперь в Лондоне в «The Goupil Gallery», дает прекраснейший образ современного нам отшельника, полного смятения и судороги... даже в одиночестве, среди скал, где он находит дружеские лики.

In a world as vast as football, there are bound to be rumours and myths created to captivate the imagination of the masses. The fine line existing between myth and reality is often crossed with little to no consequence.
But it's about time we differentiated between the truth and myth. Here are some of the most famous myths existing in the world football.
#1 John Lukic survived the Munich Air Disaster
John Lukic is a former professional footballer who played for both Arsenal and Leeds. He made a total of 668 League appearances and was capped by both the England U21 and England B-sides. Standing at 6 feet 4 inches, he now works a freelance goalkeeping coach and often tours the country as an after dinner speaker.
He has won the league with two different clubs and is one of four players to play in the top division in England in four different decades (the others being Peter Shilton, Steve Ogrizovic and Sir Stanley Matthews).
But arguably the biggest reason why many would have heard of the name John Lukic is because of the Munich Air disaster. The story goes that a passenger named Mrs. Lukic was on board the same plane that was headed for disaster.
Harry Gregg, the current Manchester United goalkeeper at the time, returned to the wreckage to pull out Mrs. Lukic and her daughter. The woman at the time was pregnant with her son. The myth began with people making the connection that John Lukic was her son and that he survived the Munich air disaster himself.
However, John Lukic was born almost three years after the crash itself in Chesterfield to Yugoslavian parents.
#2 Roy Keane ended Alf-Inge Haaland's career
If you were to search Roy Keane on YouTube, the first few suggestions would consist of 'Roy Keane career ending tackle'. The video that was uploaded almost eight years ago has garnered over eight and a half million views and goes with the description of 'There's only 1 Keano'.
Now, the context: the challenge does involve Keane wanting to extract revenge and hurt Haaland with malicious intent. The United player was given a straight red. The clip, however, shows the player left on the ground as Keane leaves.
The story continues, with Haaland actually playing out the rest of the game. Funnily enough, he played 45 minutes for Norway four days later. He made a couple of substitute appearances and then retired due to an injury on his left knee while Keane's tackle landed on his right knee. The player even came out of retirement to play for Rosseland in the Norwegian Third Division.
#3 Wembley pitch bigger than normal English pitches
The Wembley pitch is often considered a difficult surface to play on. A lot of players have suffered from infamous cramps and gone down more easily than they have on other stadiums. The phrase 'energy-sapping' is often used, almost as if the hallowed turf has some magical powers.
But the real reason behind these injuries is the moment itself. Playing in Wembley is probably one of the biggest moments in a footballer's career. Players are obviously going to try harder and get exhausted quicker. The situation is what matters, not the pitch.
When matches taking place at Wembley are televised, the pitch looks massive. In reality, however, the pitch measures 105 metres long and 68 metres wide, which is smaller than a number of current Premier League clubs.
#4 'Soccer' is an American term
Contrary to popular belief, soccer is not an American term. It was the British that invented the word, and the game was originally called by that name.
In the 1860s, a lot of sports similar to football existed with similar rules. However, a standardised set of rules was set for a group of teams who decided to get together, forming the rules for "Association Football".
Association Football was then much better known as "Assoccer, which later on turned into "soccer". "Football" turned out to be a general term for the various types of sport that include soccer, rugby and American football.
In America, they went back to calling it soccer to differentiate it between Football and Rugby Football.
#5 Diego Maradona versus Belgium
The image of Diego Maradona being marked by six Belgium players at the 1982 World Cup is one of the most iconic photographs ever clicked in world football. The photograph in itself encapsulates the whole image of Maradona and his relationship with the opponents he faced. The Argentinian struck fear into the hearts of his opposition, as he waltzed past them effortlessly.
According to the photographer Steve Powell himself, the frame itself was very special.
"It happens to have great colours – the green of the grass and the orangey-red of the Belgium shirt – those are wonderful contrasts that make for a good image, and the composition is strong, too, with the beautiful fan-like effect of the players."
However, as good as the picture seems, Maradona was never marked by six different players. In fact, the six players were part of a defensive wall as Argentina got ready to take a free-kick. The next play involved a short free-kick, and all the players in the wall proceeded to turn towards the Argentinian himself.
Belgium even went on to win the match with a scoreline of 1-0. However, a seemingly ordinary moment captured the unique aura that reflected off Diego Maradona.
Honorable mentions
Denis Law relegated Manchester United
Denis Law, a European Cup winner and a former winner of the Ballon d'Or, was a Scottish legend who was affectionately referred to as 'The King' by Manchester United fans. However, he is most famously remembered for 'that goal' which ended up relegating Manchester United.
Law's goal, however, was not the reason United got relegated. The goal in fact was completely inconsequential; it came in the 81st minute and didn't matter at all as United were going down regardless. A win or a draw would not have changed their fortunes, as results elsewhere had already confirmed United's relegation.
Denis Law's legacy will never be questioned, but it will always be marred due to that sublime back-heel goal against his former team.
Shirt sales alone pays for a world star player's transfer fee
Despite what the internet may tell you, the money dished out on a player's transfer fee has never been recovered through shirt sales alone. Over 80% of profits made by selling shirts with the specific player's name at the back go to the kit supplier itself. This is standard for a majority of the companies like Adidas, Nike, Under Armour, etc.
The Guardian lists United's current deal as an example. We assume that the club's royalty kicks in after three million shirts are sold, and the club receives a 15% royalty on each shirt sold after that. Assuming that each shirt costs £70, then that would be £21 million made by selling 300,000 thousand shirts. United's cut from that would be a little over £3 million.
That's an insignificant amount considering that a lot of nonsense was spewed regarding Ibrahimovic's shirt sales alone raising £50 million.

Basic Subtraction Formula
There is no function to subtract in Excel. You have to perform subtraction using formula in Excel. Subtraction always starts with an Equal (=) sign. Otherwise, it won't work.
This is how you can perform subtraction in a cell:
This will give you the result which is 100.
7 Ways to Use Subtraction Formula in Excel
1. Subtraction Formula Between Two Cells
You can perform subtraction of values from different cells using cell references. Here is a dataset which is showing a person's salary and his expenses.
Now if we want to know about his Savings then we have to perform subtraction of his Expenses from his Salary. Here you can do it using cell references.
After that press ENTER. You can see the result.
As you can see, we have successfully performed subtraction using a formula in Excel.

2. Subtraction Between Multiple Cells
You can also do subtraction of multiple cells at once. The formula is also the same.
Here you can see a dataset that shows a person's salary and all his expenses. Now we want to know his savings which can be achieved by subtracting all the values from his salary.
Now add a cell named Savings. Here C2 cell is the salary. For finding savings, we are just subtracting every expense from his salary by following the Formula.
After entering that formula. Hit Enter and you can see the result.

3. Subtraction Between Columns
Now, sometimes you can find yourself in a situation where you need to do subtraction of values between columns. You can also do it by cell reference.
a. Subtract Column Values
Here is a dataset of a shop that has product names, its purchase price, and selling price in different columns.
If you want to know the net profit for each product, you just need to subtract "Purchase Price" from "Selling Price".
All you have to perform is basic subtraction. Here we are subtracting cell D4 from cell C4.
After you are done with your formula, press ENTER.
Now drag the fill handle ("+" sign) across all those cells to copy that formula.
Here, you can see your desired result "Net Profit" for each product.
b. Subtract a Specific Value from a Different Column
Sometimes there can be another situation that you need to perform subtraction for a specific value from another cell from an entire column. You can do this by absolute cell references. If you don't know about absolute cell reference then please check our article about "What is and How to Do Absolute Cell Reference in Excel?"
Here is a dataset that shows different people's amounts. Now, a particular fee is needed to be deducted from their amount. The fee is given in cell G3.
Now, we have to subtract that fee from each of their amounts. You have to use absolute cell reference $G$3 for that fee.
Then press Enter.
Now, drag that cell to copy your formula across the entire column. It will give you the amount that has been left after deduction.

4. Subtraction Formula for Percentages in Excel
The basic formula will work fine when you are doing subtraction between percentages.
=75% – 25%
You can also do it by cell reference by following:
Press ENTER
You can subtract a percentage from a number. It means a decrease by percentage.
= number* (1 – percentage)
You can reduce an amount by 30% by this:
= 1000 * (1 – 30%)
You can do it by cell reference in excel.
Here is a dataset of some businessmen who have invested in the Stock Market and lost a percentage of their amount.
We are gonna find how much money remains after calculating loss by using our decrease by percentage formula.
Hit Enter. It will show the remaining amount.
Now, drag the formula to the end of that column to get all those remaining amounts.

5. Formula for Dates
No complexity around here to subtract between two dates. The following formula will work easily:
= End Date – Start Date
There are also a few ways you can do this using the following ways:
6. Subtraction Formula for Time
This is also the same as subtracting dates.
= End time – Start Time
Using Cell reference it will look like this:
7. Subtraction Formula for Text
Now you might ask whether you can subtract a text from another text using the minus(-) sign. The answer is No, you can't. But we can subtract a specific word or text from another text value. But you have to do this with the help of other functions.
a. Subtract Formula for Case-Sensitive Text
To subtract a text of a cell from another cell, we are gonna use TRIM and Substitute function.
The substitute function will replace the text from desired text with a space.
Then Trim function will remove that extra space.
The above formula will work like this:
b. Subtract Formula for Case-Insensitive Text
The previous formula will remove exact text from the Name. But if you don't want your formula to be case-sensitive then you can use the following formula:
The SEARCH function returns the position of the first character to subtract within the original string, ignoring the text case.
This number goes to the start number argument of the REPLACE function.
The LEN function is basically to find the length of the substring that should be removed. This number goes to the num_chars argument of REPLACE.
Here you can see C4 is the substring that we want to remove from B4.
These formulas will definitely help you for improving your Excel knowledge. To get the best out of it, you must try it on your own. If you want to know more about Excel's functions and formulas, make sure you are checking our website Exceldemy.com other Excel-related articles.

Having to experience a slow internet connection on your device is an irritating and already inconvenient situation to face, but having an internet-consuming feature is much more problematic and frustrating. Learning the operation of your system's update is not a must, but a plus to acknowledge since you may deal with it if the situation occurs.
Microsoft's hostile data sharing has shocked and disturbed users, and data security and other tech web pages across the online platform have given an insight on another obstructive, hidden setting—this time one that significantly hogs unsuspecting users' internet bandwidth called Windows Update Delivery Optimization (WUDO)
WUDO's concept is similar to that of torrent sites in that it allows users to share files associated with updates directly with each other, making it easier to transfer large files (in this case, the increasingly frequent Windows 10 updates). Simply put, without your awareness, Windows has decided to sign you up for participant file information exchange with the vast numbers of other Windows 10 users constantly adding their OSs to assist those security patches installation file rapidly, by expanding the bandwidth requirements together across the entire Windows community.
- Sad to say, your internet speed is sparse; and now it is being controlled by Windows to manage with other users to lessen the pressure on Microsoft's servers—and supposedly to make the situation go run more smoothly for you, too, when it's the update period on your end.
- Presently, this last probably effectivity of this feature to you and others despite, you will quite undeniably want to maintain it disabled since you use your bandwidth for practically everything that you do on your pc, while Windows updates, as constant as they would seem, are still comparatively scattered occurrences especially in comparison to everything else you do.
- Preferably, you'd be able to turn on the WUDO feature only just before downloading the latest Windows updates to help guarantee the speediest update downloads. Sadly, unlike Windows 7, there is no alternative within Windows 10 to halt fully automated downloading of Windows updates.
What can you do?
What you can do is stop them from installing all the way to the end without your permission, and that's what you should do as well. When you go into the same Windows Update settings wizard, Windows tells you that you can let Windows install updates when you give it the go ahead.
It looks like Windows updates will download on their own. The WUDO function might not be on all the time, so these downloads might take a lot more time than they would do if the function is on. However, if you don't turn down this feature the majority of the time when you're using your computer, the internet speed will be slow all the time. Which is a good thing.
Check to see that the Automatic setting for how updates are installed has been changed and that it always stays this way, as a last step (see the tip below). No part of the process is done without your permission or control. Windows updates aren't both automatically installed without your approval or command at all times. Because you can show that.

We know D.C. Get our free newsletter to stay in the know.
It's been a rough year or so for David Nagar, co-owner of Teddy's Roti Shop. The tiny Trinidadian take out, which serves a killer roti and buss-up-shut, had been searching for a permanent home ever since his landlord refused to renew his lease back in the fall of 2007. Nagar first tried to relocate to Silver Spring, across from the Metro station, but that place was a bust. Now he's found a home at 7304 Georgia Ave NW—-not far, in fact, from the spot where Teddy's spent the first 14 years of its life.
I stopped by his new place on Inauguration Day for a quiet lunch, but once Nagar recognized me from our previous conversations, that was out of the question. He was still angry about the things that I let other people say about him. He was angry that I didn't return his three phone calls. (I told him I never got his three calls.) He was lobbying me to come back the next day, when he wasn't as busy, so he could presumably take me to task for other matters. I stood there and mostly listened. Arguing with Nagar would only delay my lunch.
Whatever you think about Nagar, the guy knows how to make a terrific flatbread. I ordered the beef buss-up-shut; the curry stew, with its generous portions of channa and meaty chunks of beef, came in a separate container from the twisted and gnarled paratha bread (which gives buss-up-shut its name, since it resembles a busted-up shirt). I greedily broke off pieces of the flaky wheat bread, made rich with (the horror!) Crisco, and scooped up one bite after another after another until I could eat no more of the stew. Its flavors were almost impossible to parse, an earthy, satisfying mix of curry spices that was not spicy at all. Nagar's little plastic container of hot sauce, spiked with tamarind, provided the heat. Just a touch of that stuff and your mouth went nuclear.
My dining companion ordered the boneless chicken roti, and it was the equal of the buss-up-shut. The light curry flavors seemed identical to those in my buss-up-shut; the semi-dry chunks of chicken breast and the chickpea-based roti, with its slight vegetal flavor, provided most of the contrast. I washed down this gut-busting lunch with Teddy's homemade ginger-pineapple drink, which was the perfect counterpoint to the hearty meal—-fruity, spicy, and sweet.
All in all, it was a meal worth getting fussed at.

Paula Deen, you complete me. You made my hubby swoon with this Chocolate Mousse Pie. Heck, if it weren't for taking it to my Brother in Law's birthday party, he would have just needed a shovel for the mousse (cuz a shovel is manlier than a dainty spoon). Crust optional.
I found this recipe in the Food Network Magazine "The Chocolate Issue". It caught my eye at first because, well it's a gorgeous dessert. Second because it's super easy to make. I like super easy. It means less steps for me to screw up.
Bon Appetit! Or as they say in the south, put your feed bag on!
Paula Deen's Frozen Chocolate Mousse Pie
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 quart, plus 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon chocolate creme liqueur
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 premade pie shell
- Chocolate chips, for topping (I used chocolate sprinkles)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Prick holes to bottom of pie shell. Bake in oven for 11 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool.
In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, add chocolate chips, 3 tablespoons heavy cream and chocolate liqueur. Cook until smooth, about 1 minute. Add vanilla extract. Mix and let cool.
In a mixing bowl combine sugar and 1 quart heavy cream. Whip as if you were making whipped cream. Slowly fold the chocolate sauce into the cream.
Next pour the mousse mixture into the pie shells. Add chocolate chips to the top of the pies. Wrap the pie and freeze for a few hours or overnight.

Mr. Monk Bumps His Head - S4-E11
Other mistake: The diner Monk enters to eat something after the truck driver gave him five bucks is the same diner that Christie and Sharona are waiting in to meet Monk after work in the episode Monk and the employee of the month. But while this episode is said to be in Wymington, the earlier one is set in San Francisco.
Suggested correction: This is trivia at best. While the set may be reused, it's not meant to be the same diner. It might be a chain restaurant so they look similar, but the seats inside are different.

|Volta Rangers unveiled, set to play in the Volta Regional division two league
Volta Rangers, a once upon a time called Kodzobi Warriors was outdoored in the early hours of Friday November 13, 2020.
The unveiling of the new club was graced by the Municipal Chief Executive and Parliamentary Candidate, Hon. Prosper Pi Bansah, the Chief of Ahoe, Togbe Kasa III, Regional Football Chairman, Mr. Daniel Agbogah and a host of other dignitaries including the media.
Speaking at the ceremony, Togbe Kasa III promised to support the club describing himself as the number 12 for the newly outdoored club. As a piece of advice, the revered Chief advised both the playing body and the Technical Management of the club to be fully committed. He added that, everyone in the club owe it a duty to ensure the club is successful in all areas.
"I am extremely happy to be a part of this grand occasion, indeed I am going to be the number 12 for the Volta Rangers FC, in all things, I want both the technical team and the playing body to be fully committed on the pitch and off the pitch. I want everyone in club to work hard towards achieving our goal for the club."
Togbe Kasa III in his concluding remarks called for massive support for the newly based Kodzobi club to succeed adding that, without the support from the people, the club will not be able to reach its estimated target.
"I will also encourage everyone here to be the ambassadors of the club, without the support of the people, Volta Rangers won't be able to get to the dreamland."
In an interview with the General Manager of the club, Mr. Maxwell Amewor, revealed the reason to change Kodzobi Warriors to Volta Rangers FC.
"Basically, we believe we have reached a standard as a team where the club needed to be associated with the region and not just the town, this is why we decided to adopt the name 'Volta' to the Rangers to capture the people in the Volta Region"
Football in the region has been tagged as one that has lacked development; this Mr. Maxwell Amewor believed Volta Rangers has come to change the narrative as the main target of the club is to qualify to the Ghana Premier League in the not too distant future.
"Football in the region as compared to the other regions is lacking the development; we in Volta Rangers want that pride back Vora FC that is why we have decided to chart this path to become the first club to qualify to the Ghana Premier League"
The Regional division two league is yet to kick off across the country, with the birth of another new division two club in the Volta Regional Capital, one can be promised of an interesting league.

I've posted about my aunties influencing my food life.
Other heroes that helped to form my life and outlook on food are the cafeteria ladies at my elementary school
I did not have too much fun at elementary school. I was one of the kids that got picked- on. Not athletically inclined, kind of uncoordinated, needed glasses at an early age, typical dork. Nowadays they call it bullying. It wasn't as serious back then as it is now but still, not very pleasant if you're on the receiving end.
Some of the positive memories involved assisting in the school's cafeteria.
Small-kid time, hanabaddah days, fifth and sixth graders would be "voluntold" to assist in the cafeteria for one day each rotation. For that day, the students assigned to the cafeteria were excused from classes for about half-a-day. In exchange for working in the cafeteria, lunch was free. Some teachers also waived homework requirements. The usual rotation was about once or twice a school year.
To most, cafeteria duty was dreadful. The "bullies" would somehow convince their teachers to pass them by. When the teachers asked for volunteers to fill-in, my hand was one of the first that went up.
We reported after morning recess. Since we were only 10 or 11 years old, we weren't allowed near knives, the ovens, or the stoves. We were assigned to shadow one of the cafeteria ladies and help with their duties which included dish washing. On several occasions, I was assigned to spray off the excess food from food trays and pots and pans before sending it through the washer. That's why washing dishes the other night was not foreign to me. If you're wondering, the dish washer looked similar to the one used in the movie "Ratatouille" (not familiar, go watch it, I'll wait).
Anyway, getting back to the cafeteria ladies. Most of them had personalities of stereotypical aunties or grandmothers. Firm, strict, but kindhearted, mostly happy-go-lucky. They made sure the lunches for the student workers had a little extra. They always made-up excuses to keep us longer than necessary thus allowing us to skip classes (a good thing).
They made the best shortbread cookies. Not traditional ones. Dense, heavy, thick. Awesome.
From them, I learned to be comfortable around kitchens and not take life too seriously.
Thanks cafeteria aunties, I think I turned out ok.
Eat well.
The Mouse.
