Archie berates Janza for what he did to Jerry—Archie says it was not supposed to involve a gang of kids. Janza says that being beaten up by a gang of kids is more psychologically damaging. Archie asks if Janza used the "queer pitch" on Jerry, and Janza says it worked perfectly. Archie tells Janza to cool it, and that he will have his chance to finish up later. Janza asks again about the picture and Archie says: "Suppose I told you there was no picture. Emil? That there was no film in the camera that day
." Janza is relieved, but is not quite sure that he can believe it. Janza wonders if he will become part of The Vigils.
Jerry realizes that he has become invisible. No one looks at him, talks to him, or even acknowledges his existence. Jerry smiles at a classmate who simply stares at him, past him, through him. When Jerry opens his locker he finds the mess and everything else gone. Even the teachers seem to ignore him. Jerry becomes almost grateful for the respite. He looks for Goober, because he knows that Goober will talk to him, but Goober is not in school. After his last class, as he goes down the stairs he is pushed from behind. He grabs the railing and prevents himself from falling, and hears laughter behind him.
Brian Cochran tells Brother Leon that they have all the returns from the chocolates but that Jerry still has not sold any chocolates and they are exactly fifty boxes short. Brian says that they have never sold all the boxes before, nor have they ever collected the exact amount owed from the chocolates. Leon is not concerned with the details. Obie has Jerry's fifty boxes. Archie tells him that they will be having a special assembly tomorrow, and to make sure the entire student body comes to the athletic field for the assembly. Archie tells Obie that he is going to make Jerry raffle off his chocolates.
The stadium is filling up, and students are buying raffle tickets. The Vigils put an old boxing ring in the stadium that afternoon. Jerry and Janza stand in the ring and Archie marvels at the ease with which he was able to talk Janza and Jerry into doing this. Archie had called Jerry and asked him if he wanted to get even for the chocolates. Archie told Jerry that he could fight Janza in the ring in a boxing match, and that after the fight everything would be all over. Jerry knows he was wrong to agree to come and knows that Archie has beaten him again. Archie tells Jerry and Janza the rules, and although Jerry is shocked and scared, Janza agrees. The stadium is full and neither can back out now.
Archie looks at one of the raffle tickets. It says: "Janza/Right to Jaw/Jimmy Demers." Jerry and Janza have to fight according to the tickets. Carter is blown away by the success of the plan, and considers putting down Jerry for a hit in his own raffle ticket, but at the last minute changes his mind. Archie tells Carter that this plan works because "people are two things: greedy and cruel." Brian Cochran reports to Archie that all of the tickets have been sold.
Carter stands in the ring and Archie ready to begin when Obie comes forward with the black box. Archie is shocked, but in front of the school, most of whom know about the black box, he cannot refuse. Archie is furious, but acts calm and cool in front of the other students. Archie decides to get the process over with as quickly as possible, so that the students cannot really tell what is happening. Archie reaches out quickly and grabs a white marble. Obie wants to slow it down, make Archie nervous, but he cannot. Archie reaches out again and grabs the second marble, holding it out in his hand. He waits, takes a dramatic pause, smiles and opens his hand to reveal a second white marble.
With Janza on his side, Archie's warfare has now embraced the physical. Janza's approach assaults Jerry from all angles. First, he uses the "queer" tactic on Jerry, baiting and taunting him, making him angry and emotionally vulnerable. Then Janza uses his own technique then, using a bunch of his friends who would "beat up their own grandmothers for a quarter." Archie finally reveals to Janza that there is no picture, knowing full well that Janza would not know whether to believe him. Archie seals his manipulation of Janza by making a comment about Janza's future with The Vigils. Archie knows that the ultimate situation for Janza would be one in which he could enforce the ideas of others, and be used as brawn, not the brains, but have the benefit of both.
Jerry's experience of being "invisible" in Chapter 34 is somewhat surreal. He experiences the world as if he is not there—as if he has been eliminated by The Vigils. It is unclear exactly how The Vigils got the students and the teachers to ignore Jerry. Showing Jerry that his existence is relatively unimportant is another kind of psychological punishment. Jerry almost welcomes it, because it is less brutal than being beaten. He looks for the one person who can ground him, but The Goober is not in school. Jerry is once and for all on his own, without a single friend to stand by him. Not even Brother Leon recognizes Jerry anymore, as he does not care that Jerry's chocolates are unsold.
In Chapter 35, Cormier tells the reader that there is an assembly at the stadium without describing what it is about. Like Jerry, we do not realize what is going to happen until it actually does. It is not clear why Jerry accepts when Archie calls him—Archie tells him that he and Janza will be boxing in the ring. Jerry cannot think that he can actually beat Janza in a fight. Perhaps the prospect of the whole ordeal being over is what Jerry is after, no matter what the cost. It is easy to understand why Janza would accept, as he gets to beat someone up in front of the entire school. Janza has nothing to lose, and in a sense Jerry does not either. He has been beaten up physically and emotionally for some time, and if it ends here at the assembly, for better or for worse, at least it ends.
The raffle is actually a write-in series of commands for Jerry and Janza. The students get to dictate who strikes whom and where. The fact that the tickets sell out only confirms The Goober's statement that something is rotten at the school. None of the students seem to have qualms about what is happening there. They all show up, and none of them protest the events, nor do they blow the whistle and call an administrator. Archie's statement about people being greedy and cruel is dead on and the students prove Archie right. Jerry's last chance is the black box. Obie wants to sabotage Archie, and wants to stop whatever it is about him that is unspeakably cruel. Obie knows that if Archie draws a black marble, the whole event is over, perhaps even The Vigils as a society. But Archie, always lucky and always in control, draws two white marbles without skipping a beat or sweating a bead.

Now all attention is on a social media post by Israeli celebrity Rotem Sela, to whom Benjamin Netanyahu has presumably already sent a bouquet of flowers. She gave him an opening; he seized it and now is setting the public agenda once again. While some were asking why the prime minister was busy fighting with a model, he was showing his superior understanding of what makes people tick.
Netanyahu is yelling non-stop about "leftists," when what he really means is "disloyal." There is nothing like an argument between supporters of a "Jewish state" and supporters of "a state of all its citizens" to really set public discourse on fire. And Netanyahu eagerly lit that match. It's not that Benny Gantz or Avi Gabbay are threatening Israel's existence as a Jewish state, but Netanyahu set a trap for them. He knew that while his political rivals would not back Sela, they would not criticize her comments. And this he could use.
He knew that anyone who was not him would be seen as supporting Sela. And that's exactly the situation he wanted to create: the Zionist Netanyahu versus the leftist bohemian. And the more bohemians back her, the more Netanyahu will smile all the way to the polls.
On its merits, Israel is a democratic Jewish state, and at the same time it is also a state of all its citizens. The extreme left, like the extreme right, claims that there is a contradiction between "Jewish" and "democratic." This is nonsense. Not only is there no contradiction, but the international community has repeatedly recognized the right to self-determination.
The struggle against imperialism and colonialism belongs almost entirely to national liberation movements, of which Zionism is one. And there is no national liberation without a national identity. The phrase "Jewish state" appears 29 times in the United Nations partition resolution, which does not violate the equality of rights of non-Jewish Israelis - but there is a difference between civic equality, which is a basic component of a democratic state, and a national identity enshrined in international law.
Netanyahu's rule has been characterized by a binary attitude toward Israel's Arab population. On the one hand, there is party rhetoric and agitation, with an unnecessary Nation-State Law that only caused harm. On the other hand, there is significant investment in the Arab sector that has led to narrowing the societal gaps over the last decade.
Most Israeli Arabs support integration. Repeated surveys make it clear that they want to be Israelis and are usually proud of that fact. The Arab leadership is another story. Even Netanyahu's sins pale in the face of the incitement by Hanin Zoabi, Raed Salah and Jamal Zahalka. They do not promote equality, they promote hostility and alienation.
And a final thought: Despite all the revulsion caused by the anti-Zionist statements from Balad and Hadash's sharp-tongued Knesset candidate Ofer Cassif, the real threat to the Jewish nation-state comes from Netanyahu's party.
For this is where the decision on annexation was made, where they are working to realize the vision of one large or bi-national state, where they are working to eradicate the Zionist dream.
How lucky they are to have a controversial social media post by a celeb, so that with the right propaganda, they can still control the message.

Now streaming on:
"Winter Brothers" may not be completely successful when all is said and done, but it is certainly a singular film. On the one hand, it never quite works in a conventionally satisfying manner—it is wildly uneven, occasionally obtuse and it never quite seems to have a solid grasp on what it is trying to say. On the other hand, it still manages to register in a number of unusual ways thanks to its haunting visual style, offbeat tone, and its intriguing method to put us into the disintegrating mindset of its central character. The end result may be far from perfect, but it still held my attention all the way through, which is more than can be said for a lot of movies these days.
Set in and around an astonishing inhospitable limestone mine in a remote portion of Eastern Denmark—a location so grim and forbidding that it makes the Antarctic outpost in "The Thing" seem like Bedford Falls by comparison—"Winter Brothers" tells the story of one of the workers toiling away in those brutally harsh conditions, an odd duck named Emil (Elliott Crosset Hove) who seems wildly out of place among the other hard and embittered fellow miners. However, this is not to suggest that Emil is just a misunderstood soul because the film takes pains to show right off the bat that there is something off about him—he does not fit in with his coworkers at all. He also demonstrates a creepy fascination with Anna (Victoria Carmen Sonne), who appears to be the only woman in the area, and she finds him creeping outside the window to her cabin and stealing a pair of her panties. The only person who has any affection for him at all is Johan (Simon Sears), the older and more sensible brother that he lives and works with. The others seem to tolerate him almost only because of the bootleg booze that he brews in his kitchen, helping them take the edge off of their inhumane working conditions.
That illicit hooch, made with chemicals that Emil steals from the storeroom of the mining site, proves to be the catalyst for most of what passes for a story here after a particularly toxic batch lands a co-worker in the hospital on the verge of death. As a result, the other miners shift their attitude towards him from one of bare tolerance to one of complete ostracization (with the occasional rock to the head thrown in for good measure) while the upper echelon let him know that they are onto him as well. Johan seems to be the only one who is still willing to have anything to do with him but even that bond is broken when Emil discovers that he has been sleeping with Anna, precipitating a titanic brawl that also comes close to ending in tragedy. These events cause Emil's already tenuous grip on reality to further slip away, leaving him alone, angry and confused while spending most of his time practicing with his recently acquired rifle with the help of an ancient British training videocassette.
From a narrative perspective, "Winter Brothers" is fairly slight—my description make it seem far more plot-heavy than it actually is—but it soon becomes evident that conventional storytelling is not really high on Icelandic filmmaker Hlynur Palmason's to-do list. (He even sets up what appears to be a spot-on depiction of Anton Chekov's most famous theatrical maxim only to subvert it later on.) Instead, he is more interested in putting us into Emil's shoes and letting us experience the loneliness and isolation, both literal and metaphorical, that is his daily life. Much of this is conveyed through Maria von Hausswolff's strikingly atmospheric cinematography that effectively captures both the chilly, grimy and utterly inhospitable atmosphere of the bleak patch of world outside the cave and the nightmarish darkness within it, where flashlight helmets only barely begin to cut through the murk. Adding to this are the contributions of composer Toke Brorson Odin and sound designer Lars Halvorsen, who have combined to create a relentlessly concussive soundscape that is as rough and inhospitable as the setting and which further underlines Emil's sense of alienation.
Palmason's relative disinterest in telling a straightforward story leads to some rough patches here and there—the narrative doesn't quite develop or resolve itself in an entirely satisfactory manner and there are too many times when it regresses into flights of grim fancy while leaving seemingly important elements (such as the character of Anna) maddeningly undeveloped. That said, Palmason is undeniably effective at getting into Emil's head and allowing viewers to feel some sense of empathy for the initially unsympathetic character—he is so successful in this regard that when the film shifts from his mindset to a more objective perspective (such as during the strong scene in which he is confronted by his boss with his various misdeeds), it comes as a genuine shock. While I may have made this film sound like a dour exercise, it should also be noted that there are moments that are quite funny as well, albeit in the most jet-black manner imaginable.
"Winter Brothers" marks Palmason as a talent to watch, and it may remind some of the early features of David Lynch and Yorgos Lanthimos, in both its technical skill and general disregard for the rules of conventional narrative filmmaking. I admired it—to say I "liked" it doesn't seem quite right—but it is not necessarily one that I would readily recommend to most moviegoers unless I knew their tastes pretty well. After all, even those who spend far more time at their local arthouse than at the typical multiplex may find it a bit too baffling for its own good at times. But here is a handy tip: If you saw the names David Lynch and Yorgos Lanthimos when I cited them in the beginning of this paragraph and immediately knew which films of theirs I was referring to, you might—might—be the type who would respond positively to this one.

Stentorflöte German
Audsley lists this stop with the following description:
The name given by Herr Weigle to a loudly-voiced, high-pressure, labial stop, of 8 ft. pitch, the pipes of which are constructed in accordance with his patented system. [Royal Letters Patent, Great Britain, No. 17718. United States Patents, Nos. 457686 and 520344.] An example exists on the First Manual of the Walcker Organ in the Synagogue, Strasbourg.
Irwin also lists it, saying:
An open metal or wooden Flute of 8' manual pitch, yielding a loud and brilliant tone suitable for loud ensembles of flues or Reeds, and also solo playing. This Flute is less loud than the Stentorphone or Tibia Plena. It is a little louder and more brilliant than the Major Open Flute. Varieties of the stop can include smooth tones, similar to the Clarabella, or hard, hollow tones, similar to a large-scale Hohlflöte. A few examples have two mouths per pipe [see Doppelflöte].
According to Greek legend, Stentor was a herald in the Trojan war, described by Homer as having a voice as loud as fifty men.See Stentorphone.
All known examples are given below.
Stentorflöte 8', Manual I; Lutheran Trinity Church, Hainichen, Germany; Sauer 1899.

Love the set ... Subtle style statement
I fell in love with this set the moment I saw it on the website. It's a simple off-white/ecru and I knew I could wear it for years to come. A blank canvas and I can decide whether to dress it up with accessories or dress it down with kolhapuris. I wore mine for a Diwali party in office with an old dupatta and it was the perfect look, the right mix of elegance, comfort and style. There's just something about you guys everything is so effortlessly chic.
Thankyou for the package. The fitting is very good. And love the material. Mom gave her thumbs up which usually means it's top notch!
I love the swimwear! This is the most comfortable I've ever been in any swimwear! Thank you!
I wanted to say thank you for my beautiful Atlas blouse, which arrived today. My late mother was a professional seamstress and she couldn't have made it better. The quality and craftsmanship is outstanding. Thank you for producing such a beautiful good quality items.

Klopp Reaches The Same Premier League Record As Former Manager Brendan Rodgers
However bizarre it may sound, especially to Liverpool fans, it is indeed true that after a tally of 54 games in charge at Anfield, Jurgen Klopp has gone on and achieved stats that are identical in the Premier League to that of his predecessor and previously sacked manager Brendan Rodgers.
Despite showing improvements in the style of play, outclassing big name opponents and sticking around in the top 4 this season under the German Manager, Liverpool have not shown any major improvement in the area where it matters the most, the points.
Both Rodgers and Klopp share the stat of winning 26, losing 12 and drawing 16 out of their first 54 games at Anfield.
SUBSCRIBE to BlameFootball on Youtube
Klopp was all set to go way past this points tally but a horrible start in January for his team with a recent defeat coming against Hull and no win in the league, the flow has been certainly damaged if not stopped.
There is no doubt that Liverpool are in a better place with Klopp than they were with Rodgers by reaching two cup finals and one Semi-final but not winning any titles and slipping out of the top 4 last week is a scary sign for the fans and the manager.
Also See:
Rodgers came agonisingly close to winning the league with Liverpool in his last spell before 'slipping' up in the last few games and being sacked next season with his team hanging on in 10th place.
Klopp took over and finished at 8th at the end of the season and since then, his players have shown the signs of a team almost ready to burst out of a bubble and go win something.

If you are a television news producer or documentary filmmaker, you have almost certainly faced this issue: You are putting together a story about a past event, and you want to make the point that this past event was once the subject of media coverage. The easiest way to do that is to show some of that media coverage, for example, by including a short clip from the evening news or by panning across a newspaper article headline.… More

We stopped in Santa Clara and walked around.
We then visited the Che Guevera National Monument which was impressive. His remains were brought back from Bolivia and he is interred with his comrades. There is an exhibition with his personal items, you cannot take your bag or camera with you .
Here was a letter Che had written to Fidel.
You must visit this monument on your way back to Havana.
I thoroughly enjoyed Cuba, learnt so much and urge you to visit before it changes!

Adult stone flies range from 6 to 50 mm (0.25 to 2.0 inches) long. They are dull-colored, commonly gray, brown, green, or yellowish. Adult stoneflies have two pair of membranous wings that fold over the back when at rest. The wings have many veins, and the hind wing is broad at the base and fanlike.
Adults of most stonefly species live from a few hours to several days and do not feed. After mating, females commonly drop their eggs during flight over water. Females of some species can deposit over 1000 eggs. The eggs of most stonefly species have a sticky coating or anchorlike projections that help keep the egg in its original position until the larvae, called nymphs, hatch.
Stoneflies have incomplete metamorphosis: they gradually develop into adults after about two to three dozen nymphal instars, or growth stages. Nymphs have wing pads-saclike growths containing the developing wings-and two long tail filaments. In some species, the legs, wing pads, and tails are coated with many silken hairs. Other species have gill tufts protruding from various parts of the body. Immature stoneflies require moving water in which to develop. Nymphs of some species feed only on vegetation, others feed only on other stream insects, and still others feed on both. Many species have one generation per year, although larger species often require two or three years to complete development from egg to adult. Stonefly and mayfly nymphs look much alike and are often confused. However, stonefly nymphs are generally more robust and cricketlike than mayfly nymphs, and mayfly nymphs have three tail filaments rather than two.
Because the nymphs are aquatic, adult stoneflies are usually found near streams. Their presence is an indicator of a healthy stream environment. In areas with mild winters such as along the Pacific Coast, adults usually can be observed every month of the year. In cold climates a few species even fly in midwinter when snow is on the ground. In some locations enormous numbers of adult stoneflies may occur at about the same time each year. Adults can be collected near porch lights to which they are drawn. Stoneflies also commonly swarm along roads, annoying motorists by fouling windshields with their numerous bodies.
Scientific classification: Stoneflies make up the order Plecoptera.

… and the cast is a doozy-and-a-half.
James Cromwell will play George Herbert Walker Bush.
Ellen Burstyn is Barbara Bush.
Josh Brolin was previously announced as George, and Elizabeth Banks — who, among many other roles, was bookstore siren Beth in The 40-Year-Old Virgin — is going to play First Lady Laura.
I hope she has a big trunk.
Because Dick Cheney is totally going to try to put his bike in it.

Bioluminescence Swarm
Bioluminescence Swarm is an experiment involving the creation of realistic swarming behavior coupled with an artificial bioluminescent organism. Both phenomena are found in nature and are remarkably beautiful in their own right. Combining the two seemed compelling and their combination results in some beautiful imagery and animation. This particular experiment was made possible with the aid of the Hype Framework by Branden Hall and Joshua Davis. If Flash is supported you will see a living example, otherwise a fallback screenshot will result.

homemade rucksack (backpack, knapsack, whatever!!)

Aw it's gorgeous! Perfect for her next adventure. I'm not surprised Pehr is after one too! xxxReplyDelete
just beautiful. Great fabrics too.ReplyDelete
You could try pelmet vilene for bags. It gives structure without too much bulk. It is stiff but you can stitch through it.ReplyDelete
Love that fabric and it's such a sweet little rucksack.
So sweet, such a beautiful gift for a littleun. It's wonderful you make time to do little home made gifts for friends.ReplyDelete
Crikey, that looks like a lot of hard work to me but it's beautiful and the fabric is adorable. What a lovely gift.ReplyDelete
I'm pretty much lost for words! That is the luckiest little girl in the world, I bet it was hard to part with the bag once you had finished making it! So so beautiful. We're about to be 'farm sitting' at my mums for 6 weeks and I'm very excited to be able to have access to a sewing machine again (even if it is an old Elma that belonged to my grandmother in the early 1960s).ReplyDelete
Artemis this is just brilliant! My 19 year old university student daughter has just bought a Fjallraven Kanken backpack obstensibly for all her books but it is so flimsy with no padding whatsoever I can't see it being fit for purpose and it will probably end up in landfill before too long. Your homemade rucksack on the other hand looks so well-made and substantial. Oh and the FK one retails for about £60, although my daughter bought hers half price as it is an unfashionable khaki colour. I love your choice of fabric and your attention to detail.ReplyDelete
I'm not so little a girl anymore (not for a good number of years) and I would still be very,very thrilled to receive a rucksack like this as a gift.ReplyDelete
This is just fabulous! I'm sure Pehr will love having one too. What a lucky little sprite having such a talented Mummy. Loving all the photos of your jaunts to London too! XxReplyDelete

Most, and yes I definitely mean most, most "leaders" I know are not leaders at all. They have a title or position that fools them, and a few others, into thinking they are a leader but upon a little examination they are not a leader at all.
While a leader in name only can fool some people into believing they are a leader they rarely if ever fool the people they think they are leading. People looking for Authentic Leadership can spot a fake leader from a mile away.
But here's one of the things I find most interesting about leadership. Leaders in name only often have no idea that they aren't really leading. Not only can they fool other people, they can even fool themselves.
So how can someone in a leadership position tell if they are in fact leading? Well take a look around. If no one is following you then you're not leading. Period.
No matter how lofty your position or important sounding your title leaders lead people. If people are not following you then you may be managing a business but you're not leading.
So let's say you take a quick look over your shoulder and you see a bunch of people. Even that doesn't mean you're an Authentic Leader. Take a closer look. Who is following you? If the people "following" you all have the same favorite word then you may not be a leader. If that word is "yes" then you're most certainly not a leader.
Authentic Leaders attract a higher caliber of people than leaders in name only. They are followed by people who are not afraid to speak truth to leadership. Authentic Leaders are a magnet for people with authentic leadership aspirations of their own.
Authentic Leaders challenge their followers to continuously improve and their followers challenge them back to do the same.
Authentic Leaders are also great followers. So consider for a moment who it is you're following. Who do you know? I don't mean following on Facebook or some other social media platform. I mean who do you really know? Who are your mentors? Who can you have a face to face conversation with? Who can you learn from? Who leads you? Who is pushing you to improve? Who is invested in helping you grow as a leader?
You can learn a lot in a book, blog, or video but leadership is a close personal contact operation. You need to follow and interact with real people who will help you grow. People who will tell you the truth about yourself and who will keep you on the path towards Authentic Leadership.
If you have short comings in any of those areas then you have opportunity to improve as a leader, or maybe, even become an Authentic Leader for the first time.
Either way, the self-improvement process for a leader begins with the question… Am I really leading?

Chain Gain
Smart Contract designed for a quick payback through the interaction of current and future holders with a chain of references.
Safe & Secure
Transactions in the PoSA model are verified by a set of nodes called validators. At any given time, there are 21 active validators on the network eligible to certify transactions.
Proof-of-Staked-Authority (PoSA) model. This PoSA model optimises the network for low fees and high throughput but sacrifices decentralization and censorship resistance to do so.
Ethereum Compatibility
The first practical and widely-used Smart Contract platform is Ethereum. To take advantage of the relatively mature applications and community, BSC chooses to be compatible with the existing Ethereum mainnet
Standalone Blockchain
Most BSC fundamental technical and business functions should be self-contained so that it can run well even if the BC stopped for a short period.
Native Cross-Chain
The communication protocol should be bi-directional, decentralized, and trustless.

Front End
The goal state of any blockchain developer is to create a virtual currency with complete independence from the trend of investment markets as well as other cryptocurrencies.
For instance, MetaMask strictly only supports tokens and cryptocurrencies built on Ethereum's blockchain. Trust Wallet, on the other hand, features supported storage and interaction with assets on multiple blockchains apart from Ethereum making it a more versatile option of the two.
We offer an alternative way of buying The GEM COIN tokens to the classic way of buying on the DEX exchange – through the official website using the WEB3 method.
Such purchase will be regulated according to ROADMAP and the offer will be determined and controlled according to the following information.
Details of the offer phases can be found in the Sales Cycles tab.

"It is physically impossible to go faster or do better than your strategic relationships." That's the one key concept Michael Webb, founder and CEO of Michael Moto, LLC, an international organization with headquarters in Denver and Tokyo, wanted participants to remember from his special session on Developing Global Strategic Relationships held Thursday afternoon during NAFSA's annual conference.
Webb, who lead the original venture between Toyota and General Motors and oversaw the launch of the Boeing 777, walked the audience through a diagram on "working together," which is composed of equal parts roadmap, values, decisionmaking, and conflict resolution.
"Communication is the most important element and common denominator," Webb said.

What to see in Vladimir
St.Demetrius Cathedral
St. Demetrius Cathedral is a unique monument of Vladimiro-Suzdalsky white stone architecture and pre-Mongol period plastics. The temple for the sake of Saint Dmitry Solunsky was constructed in the 1190th years by the prince Vsevolod Yuryevich The Big Nest, in a baptism Dmitry. "Put the church in his yard, in his name" - reports the chronicle. In 1197 the church was completed by staging of the icon of St. Dmitry.
The single-headed, four-pillars princely church is small, not too capacious. The temple is a subject of contemplation and worship. It is an image of the City of God, an icon in a stone. That's why the building is so harmonious and slender, it has majestic form and so eloquently carved decoration - more than 1,000 carved stones. The mighty body is crowned by the gilded head, the three-part altar is turned to the east. The wall is smooth from the sole to the belt as the lower tier was closed by the gallery and carved ladder towers connecting church to the princely palace. These ancient extensions were sorted in 1838, having considered as late ones.
In the middle the temple is captured by an elegant belt colonnade. The top tier is dressed by a carving as a precious cope. The relief of David stands in the middle zakomarah in all three fronts. All the creatures heavenly and earthly: angels, humans, animals, birds, trees, grass gether to his throne.
The reliefs of the white stone cathedrals which told a lot to their contemporaries, after only two or three centuries turned into unfathomable mystery that has been not solved yet. In this stone book only separate lines and words have been read, and the whole idea just comes through . The idea of the Heavenly Hail, the Garden of Eden, an ideal picture of the God's creation are guessed.
In the XV century Demetrius Cathedral lost it's value as a princely temple and from the middle of the XIX century, after the renovation of 1838-1847, it became a parish church. In 1883 it received the pneumatic heating and a small belfry (not preserved) was built on the south side.
In 1919 after closing it belonged to Vladimir Museum. During the last half of the century the building was repeatedly restored. The final stage of works was carried out in 1999-2004: a covering of a white stone and reliefs with protective plastic mix, the construction of drainpipes, replacement of the cross on the dome, creation of incide microclimate.
In 2005 an unusual exposition of the Vladimiro-Suzdalsky Museum-Preserve was opened in the Cathedral of St. Demetrius. It's main exhibit is the ancient building, it's remarkable architectural forms.

Like the heroines' hearts in every Taylor Swift song, New Year's resolutions eventually get broken. In light of available data, we've compiled a list of three concrete goals for PR professionals to achieve to advance their careers. Discover the rationale behind our objective selection and the locations of relevant starting points.
As your first goal for the near future, you should learn how to analyze data effectively.
The majority of PR professionals (91%) agree with the statement "not only do PR practitioners have to be excellent communicators, they also have to be strong data analysts," as stated in the Global Comms Report. Even though public relations teams have gotten much better at tracking critical metrics like earned media, sentiment, and competitor information thanks to improved tools and technology, it is still difficult to make sense of the data. It takes time and effort (and usually patience) to master any skill.
What to do first: We encourage you to view our latest webinar, Making Your Metrics Matter: Building a Strategy for Impactful PR, and to read our e-book, Making It Count: The Step-by-Step Guide to Monitoring and Measuring the Impact of PR.
Second, resolve to get better at finding the right journalists and influential people to cover your stories.
Only 25% of comms directors claim they are "always" able to find the proper ones to engage with for their stories, even if doing so is essential for delivering your messages to the correct audiences. Maintaining awareness of the constant shifts in the media landscape can be challenging. You might want to use a third-party database to find those who write about relevant issues and those whose followers make up your desired demographic.
In order to get started, you can get The PR Pro's Guide To Marketing Toolkit, which has information to assist you find the relevant people and connect with the relevant media. Then, sign up for the Media Moves newsletter to receive updates on what's happening in the media world, both locally and nationally.
Third, try new things with the content you create.
According to the Global Communications study, content production is currently the top priority for comms leaders worldwide. As a result, many creators are reevaluating their methods in order to find new ways to interact with their fans across various mediums. Adding multimedia to press releases can boost engagement, and repurposing press releases for multiple channels can help you generate even more content.
Start with our e-book, The Best Multimedia Content Guide for PR Success, and our blog post, Seven Ways to Extend the Reach of Your Press Release.
Using social listening can help remove the uncertainty from content development. According to the same survey, top-level communicators are utilising social listening to gain a deeper understanding of their audiences' preferences and behaviours in terms of the channels they use, the brands they interact with, the content they consume, and the messages to which they respond most favourably.
PRWire360 is your one stop shop for data driven, result oriented affordable press release distribution.

A sweeping selection of Donald Judd's iconic and ambitious works alongside a diverse collection of newly commissioned writings. One of the most significant American artists of the postwar period, Judd rigorously experimented with color, form, material, and space. The works in this catalogue range from the artist's expansive installations to self-contained single units, yielding valuable new insights into his process and approach. The survey includes one of his largest and most intricate installations of sixty-three wall-mounted plywood boxes, conceived in 1986. Other works include variations on some of Judd's most recognizable forms, executed in materials such as Cor-ten steel, plexiglass, copper, plywood, brushed aluminum, and enameled aluminum. Brilliant and exacting reproductions capture these works in vivid detail. Following the major Judd retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 2020, this book serves as a companion volume. With contributions from a wide range of voices—art historians, critics, writers, and performers— this publication includes rich new writings on Judd's oeuvre, art criticism, and enduring influence. Artworks: 1970–1994 is published on the occasion of the eponymous 2020 exhibition at David Zwirner New York.

Blasts rock Cyprus ammunition depot
Blasts rocked an ammunition depot in northern Cyprus on Thursday after a fire broke out in a military zone, with shattered glass slightly injuring some people, the Turkish Cypriot Foreign Minister Kudret Ozersay said.
On his Facebook page, the minister wrote that the area had been sealed off as explosions continued at the military zone east of Kyrenia, an historic harbor town on the northern coast in a region frequented by tourists.
The Turkish Defense Ministry said the fire had been brought under control and that the cause of the initial blast, around 1:30 am (2230 GMT), was not immediately clear. It said an investigative team had begun its work.
CNN Turk broadcast video showed large blasts and plumes of smoke rising into the night sky over the area.
"Unfortunately a fire broke out in an ammunition depot in the military zone east of Kyrenia and there was a series of explosions," Ozersay said, adding that the area had been secured, with police warning people to keep away.
CNN Turk also reported him as saying there was no longer a risk in the area and it had not been necessary to evacuate a nearby hotel.
People in the village of Arapkoy, some 12 km (7.5 miles) east of Kyrenia, had initially fled the area as a precaution during the blasts but residents had started returning home, he said.

It's amazing that Google starts this initiative, but it very optimistic :-) By last years Google make big progress in search, AI and other computer related technologies, for now they give a chance to increase results in field of renewable energy. I don't know why but I feel that it may be also source of some changes in physics ;-)
My comment to this initative - it's cool!!! :-)

" RE < C " really looks likes coal is superior to renewable energy.ReplyDelete
Maybe that's the whole point Google wants to make, a kind of geek joke. Anyways, once again, they are trying to promote their company as some kind of "new deal", defining a new relation to things, in this case energy. This "do no evil" stand is based on the fact that they are a new "profit center", all based on the so called "information economy".
This is obviously a scam, since it represents nothing compared for example to the flow of industrialized goods. I strongly doubt there will be a scientific solution to the energy problem, the only rational path is to decrease energy consumption.
Under that light, the "RE < C" sounds like just another excuse to keep wasting the resources until we find an hypothetical solution.
Google's main revenue is ads, which in the end relies on selling more goods. Hence Google is far from an ethical player in the field of energy consumption.
In the end this sounds like a clever marketoid plan. This whole internet business is nothing but a new twist of the classic market place, which has proven its incompetence regarding energy problems.
I don't buy it.

The Idea
A universal, high quality EVF that embraces modern technology and frees filmmakers to focus on Innovation, Inspiration and Creativity. That was our goal when we set out to create a new electronic viewfinder over three years ago. And now the Gratical HD and Gratical X EVFs are here! Electronic viewfinders are a pivotal tool in any filmmakers bag, providing accessibility, stability, focusability and so much more. The Gratical EVF is universal for all cameras incorporating both HDMI and SDI. Our bright, brilliant optics, FPGA dual core processor, and professional software features give you all the tools you need to stop focusing on your equipment and start creating! With the Gratical HD EVF and Gratical X EVF, you can trust you're seeing a realistic visualization of your final image. The processing power and sharpness of the Zacuto Gratical electronic viewfinder far surpass all other EVF units on the market.
(Don't just take our word for it! Check out the experts reviews for yourself!)
The Models
Zacuto offers two Gratical EVF options; the Gratical HD and the Gratical X.
The Gratical HD is our flagship model. It comes jam packed with a full set of professional features like Vectorscope, Waveform (3D), Histogram, LUT import and creation and much more. (See our full spec chart below.) The HD model also includes free future features in development and firmware upgrades for life.
I have a Sony O-Led EVF on my F5 and it's pretty good, so I was dubious about just how much of an improvement the Gratical would give me. But I was blown away when I put my eye up to it! Bright, sharp and just brilliant. – Den Lennie, Cinematographer, F-Stop Academy
Gratical HD Product Update from Zacuto on Vimeo.
The Gratical X is perfect for the shooter who wants only a few key features. You start with the same Gratical hardware as the HD model and then customize software to fit your individual needs. Our new "build your own" process allows you to pick and choose from a wide selection of software features to build your own Gratical EVF!
You wanted more options and we listened! We know you want the best optics and display available for critical focus (that's a given), so that won't change, but now you can put your creativity to work and build your own software with only the features you want! – Mandy Rogers, Zacuto VP of Sales & Marketing
Gratical X Product Update from Zacuto on Vimeo.
The Same and The Different
Three very important things are the same whether you decide on the Gratical HD or Gratical X EVF – the micro-OLED display, high quality precision optics, and a powerful FPGA dual core processor to host all your features.
Both Gratical models have the same micro-OLED screen. That's 5.4 million pixels on a 0.61" diagonal screen no bigger than the size of your thumbnail! This EVF supports high pixel density with unparalleled resolution, true blacks, gamma and contrast range. With micro-OLED screens, each pixel is lit individually so that when one is turned off there is true black. This makes for a wider contrast range and more vibrant colors for a vivid, enhanced picture. And with a full display electronic viewfinder resolution of 1280×1024 you know you're getting the best picture possible. Then add in our -1 to +4 diopter, Zacuto custom glass lens, improved anti-fog coating, auto-closing eyecup, weather resistant HDMI and SDI covers, multiple attachment points, and universal camera compatibility. Rain or shine, DSLR or ALEXA, Zacuto's got you covered!!
So, what's the difference? The Gratical HD is a complete fully featured professional EVF with all software features included. The Gratical X comes with only a few integrated features and then allow you to customize from there. Compare in our chart below and select the model that best fits your needs.
Interested in the Gratical HD and Gratical X? They are available to purchase AND demo through CVP!
However you can get Gratical X a la carte software and software bundles with built-in savings available exclusively from the Zacuto Store
Special offers to not be missed when purchasing the Gratical!
Have you picked the one you want? Great! Head on over to the CVP store and place your order. If the Gratical HD has caught your eye, be sure to take advantage of our Next Generation Recoil Rig bundles. When you purchase the Gratical HD you can add a Recoil rig for as low as $200. That's $1000 in bundle savings! These shoulder mounted (tripod compatible) rigs place the balance point directly over your shoulder, pushing focus and monitoring further forward, creating a lighter and shorter rig. We trust in our Recoil system and know you'll be thanking us after only one day using our rig and electronic viewfinder combination.
Gratical X users purchasing through CVP can then head to the Zacuto website to register and activate the EVF and get started building a software package. The process is super simple. Check out this quick tutorial from filmmaker Chris Weatherly.com explaining the process.
