EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Sunday morning arrived a little cloudy, a little cool, no precip, no wind — a benign, Seattle-like start to what will be the longest day in the sports lives of the Seahawks and Denver Broncos. The wait before kickoff is agonizing, said a man who should know — Mike Holmgren.The coach of the only other Seattle team to make a Super Bowl appearance (in XL in Detroit), Holmgren has three gaudy championship rings — two as offensive coordinator of the San Francisco 49ers (SB XXIII and XXIV) and one as a head coach from Super Bowl XXXI when the Green Bay Packers defeated the New England Patriots 35-21.
"The Super Bowl is a season in itself," he said recently in a meeting with Seattle-area reporters in the Sportsradio 950 KJR studios. "Coaches like to talk that every game is the same, but the Super Bowl is different. Your emotions are different, your sleep is different. How you pet the dog is different.
"Human beings are in a very stressful situation with a lot at stake. The game starts at 6:30 p.m. (Eastern). That's one of the bigger challenges — When do we eat? How late do I sleep in? We're all used to game at 1 o'clock. Your clock is important, and it's different."
If there were a coach who is acutely aware of Holmgren's message, it is Pete Carroll, Holmgren's Seattle successor once removed (Jim Mora, remember?). He has been vigilant in maintaining a constancy in words and deeds, making sure that a routine that is familiar and reliable to 53 large, amped young men who typically often lack discipline.
"Just trying to stay the same," he said this week. "We've had a strong couple of years here and have played with a really good mindset. I don't want that to change. We're really trying to do the things that we always do . . . Stay true to ourselves. If we do that, we'll be OK."
Carroll even bothered to choose the same uniform combo — white jerseys, blue pants — the Seahawks wore Dec. 15 when they beat the Giants 23-0 at MetLife Stadium, site of today's game.
The Seahawks are, by average age, the second-youngest Super Bowl entrant, and the first team since the 1990 Buffalo Bills to have no players with previous Super Bowl experience. Nor have the coaches — Pete Carroll sounded almost prideful when he said he has never attended a Super Bowl in person, saving it for the day when he took his team.
However, his quarterback, Russell Wilson, was at the Super Bowl last year at Indianapolis, one of dozens, if not hundreds, of non-participating players here to do media or just hang out in the intense energy that swirls around the event.
Wilson saw how the pre-game warmups start earlier, because of the long pre-game show. How long the halftime show took, which makes for more than 30 minutes in the locker rooms.
"Just noticing how long the day is," he said. "It's really a five-hour day. You've got to understand that your emotions, your energy, your adrenaline will be running wild. So you've got to make sure you calm down. Make sure that you time it up right.
"It's still going to come down to a two-minute drive before the half, and at the end of the game. Hopefully, I pull through and win the game for us."
The week prior to the game is probably the hardest thing to manage because of all the media obligations required by the NFL of the participants.
"You can't let it intrude — the intrusion that organizations fight is you guys," Holmgren said, chuckling. "You need to talk, but as an organization, you try to control that and still do what you have to do to get your message across.
"The more veteran a team, it's a little easier. If you've been through it, it's easier. If you're going through it the first time, there's nothing like it. So you have to talk to your team about it. The worst at the Super Bowl is tickets for family. You have more family than you ever knew existed. You try to insulate the players a little."
But Holmgren doesn't think the lack of experience will be much of a factor with these Seahawks, around whom he's hung around this season as a commentator on KJR.
"These guys are as loose as a group as I've been around," he said. "Having said that, it's pretty controlled. They understand it pretty well. I don't imagine it's that different.
"They probably have more fun than I do. Kinda sad, actually," he said with a small smile.
Managing emotions are big in every football game, and more intense when everything is at stake. If Holmgren could change something he could control in the grim 21-10 loss to Pittsburgh in 2006, it was how he handled himself and the team on the sideline.
"If I could change anything . . . I couldn't change the emotions of the players on the field and sideline as the game was going on. Every (bad officiating) call after the beginning, the sideline would erupt. I couldn't calm them down, partly because I got upset. I got excited. I didn't do that very well.
"You are who you are, I suppose. I'd get going, and the player says, 'He's trying to get me to settle down?'"
Holmgren has enough veneration for the game that he has always tried to soak up the drama and setting. In 1998, when his Packers were playing the Broncos in San Diego, he went out during warmups when players were stretching, and just before the crew took the field that was in charge of rehearsing the display of the giant U.S. flag for the national anthem.
"I'm looking for where my family is sitting, it's a beautiful day, I'm looking at all of the fans, and all of a sudden a little guy comes out with a cigar in his face," Holmgren said. "He says, 'Get your ass off the field!' I said, 'Wait a minute, I'm the head coach.'
"He said, Get outta here.' So much for soaking in the atmosphere. I almost got run over by the flag.'"
Fair warning to Carroll: Don't expect the New York guys to be nicer than the flag-rehearsal guys in San Diego.
Among all the comparative data pounded into pixel dust in the two weeks of matchup analysis, here's the factor that stands out to me.
Seattle in its last seven games faced defenses all ranked in the top half of the league in fewest yards given up. In fact, six were against top-eight defenses — the Seahawks twice played New Orleans (No. 4), twice played San Francisco (No. 5), Arizona (No. 6), and the New York Giants (No. 8). St. Louis was No. 15, and the Rams defense is no one's idea of a sunny stroll in Central Park.
Denver's is rated 19th with 356 yards given up per game. No. 1 Seattle gave up 273.6. Big disparity.
The Broncos defense is missing five players who combined, per USA Today, for 2,545 defensive snaps this season — end Von Miller (nine starts), cornerback Chris Harris (16, including one postseason game), linemen Derek Wolfe and Kevin Vickerson (11 starts each; Wolfe had a concussion in the exhibition game in Seattle Aug. 17) and safety Rahim Moore (10 starts).
And Seattle offense is adding Percy Harvin.
Seahawks 27, Broncos 24. Start spreading the news.

One summer morning, Raphaëlle Gagnon and Mark Coelho woke up as usual in their tiny home—a converted vintage Greyhound bus. They enjoyed toast and coffee and headed out to their workshop: a trailer and mobile "wilderness lab" where they make botanically infused soaps, salts, lotions, and oils.
The girlfriend-boyfriend team behind Boreal Folk Apothecary had been to dozens of Canada's most beautiful places over the past few years, harvesting wild plants for their formulations, but this morning was something special: a dozen wild horses stood grazing not 30 yards away, against a backdrop of the Rocky Mountains. "That had to be the top," Mark says. "I think we share the same sentiment about that."
They shared a dream of living exactly like this.
When Mark and Raphaëlle met in 2014, they quickly realized they shared a dream of living exactly like this: close to nature, self-sufficient, in the great outdoors. (Their first date was a two-month road trip around Vancouver Island—but that's another story.)
At the time, Raphaëlle, now in her 30s, was finishing up her ninth season of tree planting and wondering what to do next. She'd taken a natural soap-making workshop and really liked it; it was Mark, a "jack-of-all-trades" designer, maker, and mechanic, who said he could help turn her passion into a living. "At some point, I promised her I'd turn my [Purolator] van, which was a grungy mechanic van at the time, into a soap van she could take to farmers' markets," Mark says.
He kept his word. The following year, Raphaëlle studied herbalism and organic skin-care science while Mark worked on converting his van into a home for two with "a little formulating area in the corner." They bought a mining claim in northern BC and moved up in September 2015. For two months, they harvested plants and experimented with products, which did well at farmers' markets.
Business grew, and the duo realized there was a demand for their products. In 2016, they bought the big cargo trailer that Mark would spend six months turning into the wilderness lab: a 99-square-foot workspace complete with a sink, propane burners, and solar electricity. "He handcrafted the entire trailer—we're talking manually threading each plumbers' pipe," says Raphaëlle. "And it's just, like, a really beautiful space."
With its 100-year-old sink, white tile floor, and stainless steel counters offset by refurbished wood cabinetry, and copper hardware, the lab's aesthetic is artisanal chic, the kind of thing you might see in a hip Brooklyn coffee shop.
To have something to live in, they traded in the Purolator van and bought an old Greyhound bus that had already been retrofitted. 2017 was their first with the new setup. With the big diesel bus hauling the trailer, they covered 7,000 kilometers across Alberta and BC. Stints in the backcountry, where they spent weeks or months wildcrafting and manufacturing (on crown land or public access zones, where harvesting is permitted), were punctuated by visits to markets and festivals in different cities. And business is booming: Raphaëlle says they have earned the equivalent of two decent full-time salaries.
Not having an address is "definitely difficult," Raphaëlle says. Their raw materials must be shipped somewhere throughout the year, and because they move around, a PO box isn't practical. Instead they enlist the help of friends and family across western Canada willing to receive, say, 500 pounds of glacial salt or mineral clay from the prairies.
Their wilderness lifestyle means they're often offline.
Relying on a 50-year-old bus to get to their next vending opportunity has been challenging at times. "There's always something that's going to go with a vehicle of that vintage," says Raphaëlle, laughing. She says Mark is able to repair any mechanical issues that arise, and they pad their travel time. If it's an eight-hour drive to their next market, Raphaëlle says they'll give themselves two or three days to get there. "This summer there were only a few very minor hiccups," Raphaëlle says. "But we never missed an event."
And what about the personal challenges of living in such close quarters with the same person, all the time? Sure, there are times one of them needs to just go for a walk, and they talk things over a lot. But they recognize that "it's been a unique relationship from the start," Raphaëlle says, "just living this crazy dream of ours."

*skips off, singing like Annie*
Sun will come out tomorrow, indeed.
It's always the same pattern: Garret gets swarmed by girls; he picks one, dates her, gets bored, and breaks her heart. So when he sighs after Trina practically shoves her tongue down his throat, I know what's coming. It might not happen tonight, but it will happen.
I must prepare for the oncoming barrage. Since I am his best friend, all the girls campaigning to be the next trophy on Garret Taylor's arm will suddenly want to be my friends. I used to like the attention, but after three years of high school I'm sick of talking to hot girls who'd rather date him than me.
Before Trina gropes him in public, Garret stands and says something to her. I can't tell what it is over the blaring music, but it can't be the break up because she gives him that I'm-trying-to-be-the-understanding-girlfriend smile. Then she hugs him, and he pulls away first.
I give her a week tops.
He comes over to the couch where I'm sitting with a beer in hand, though I barely sip at it. I don't really like the stuff, but you can't be a football player without at least looking like you love to get drunk. Especially after smashing your rivals at Homecoming. Garret caught the winning touchdown. Of course.
He plops down next to me, running a hand through his shaggy blond hair. "This is boring."
"You haven't had enough to drink, then."
He laughs. "That's boring, too. Let's get outta here, Russ."
You go for your dreams. You get over the fear of rejection, the worry that others will disapprove. You fight your own insecurities, and you throw yourself into your dreams full force.It's not exactly as you imagined—sometimes it's so freaking hard you want to quit—but you are a writer. Okay, I admit I don't know when you'll get paid for it, but you ARE doing it and actually doing it pretty well. You get stronger. You learn a lot. You write A LOT. You don't regret any of it.You live the life you always wanted to live, so keep going.

Bunkerkings Supreme Joggers combine the flexibility, comfort, and performance of jogger pants with the durability and function of the BK Supreme pants. Supreme Joggers are designed with lightweight swift fabrics up top that stretch and move as you run and dive, with quadruple stitched reinforced knee and shin protection to increase durability and protection.
The Supreme Joggers are the most comfortable paintball pants you've ever worn, on and off the field. The adjustable waistband is constructed from a comfortable elastic-nylon that can be tightened exactly where you want it with a quick drawcord. It's both soft, and secure, so your pants not only won't dig into your waist or fall down.
Durable mesh venting in the crotch and across the back of the legs keeps your body cool and dry, while the right side dry zipper pocket protects your microfiber from sweat or other moisture. Swab pockets on both legs are stashed tightly out of the way.
Unlimited movement with 4-way stretch zones allow you to crouch, run, crawl, or dive without the crotch digging in or the pants holding you back. The comfortable elastic ankle cuffs stretch as you slide your foot into the pants, and wrap comfortably around your ankle and sit right where they need to be without extra bunched up fabric.
Here's what some of the top professionals, who have the choice of using any pants on the market had to say about the Supreme Joggers:
"Supreme Joggers are comfortable on and off the field. The waistband tie string stays snug and doesn't dig into my sides. The cuffs on the ankles make it so I never worry about stepping on my pants legs. The microfiber pocket keeps dry even when I am sweating. I love how they move & stretch with me. The crotch never digs in, and I feel like I have unlimited freedom of movement in them." - Jason Edwards - Tampa Bay Damage:
"The main reason I love these Joggers is because the waist fits so well and the strap doesn't dig into my hip. But I also love that the material is super stretchable and breathable. It feels like I'm wearing sweat pants when I play, except they wick moisture, and have a lightweight knee pad, waterproof pocket, and swab holders. I do feel significantly more agile in them." - Tim Montressor - Tampa Bay Damage.

Recently, many U.S. Internet service providers have fallen in line with their international counterparts in capping monthly residential broadband usage. A new study by a Georgia Tech researcher, conducted during an internship at Microsoft Research, shows such pricing models trigger uneasy user experiences that could be mitigated by better tools to monitor data usage through their home networks.
Home users, the study found, typically manage their capped broadband access against three uncertainties—invisible balances, mysterious processes and multiple users—and these uncertainties have predictable impacts on household Internet use and can force difficult choices on users. Given the undeniable trend in both Internet norms (such as cloud-based applications) and home-entertainment delivery toward greater broadband requirements, the study seeks to create awareness and empathy among designers and researchers about the experience of Internet use under bandwidth caps.
Marshini Chetty, a postdoctoral researcher in Georgia Tech's School of Interactive Computing, interviewed 12 households in South Africa, a country in which broadband caps were universal until February 2010. Typically, the caps set by South African ISPs are severe with some plans only offering 1 GB of data per month. At the time of the study, the caps ranged up to 9GB of data, far lower than the 150GB-250GB caps set by U.S. providers.
What Chetty and her collaborators found were coping mechanisms built into South Africans' daily lives in order to manage their online activities under the caps. For example, some would routinely "top up" their accounts (pay additional fees for incremental cap increases), while others would visit family members to use their Internet accounts, or switch from desktop connectivity to smartphones. And with few (if any) ways for customers to monitor Internet usage throughout the month, their access often would be cut off in the middle of performing an online activity.
"People's behavior does change when limits are placed on Internet access—just like we've seen happen in the smartphone market—and many complain about usage-based billing, but no one has really studied the effects it has on consumer activity," said Chetty, who earned her Ph.D. in computer science from Georgia Tech in 2011. "We would also hear about people 'saving' bandwidth all month and then binge downloading toward the end of their billing period."
Georgia Tech postdoctoral researcher Marshini Chetty of the School of Interactive Computing has shown that capped broadband service often forces users into risky decisions that could be mitigated by providing them better tools to monitor and manage their home networks.

"Mysterious processes" refers to customers' inability to determine which applications are eating up their bandwidth, ranging from being unaware that streaming video or downloading songs consumes much more data than normal web browsing, to not knowing that many background applications (such as automatic software updates) count against the monthly cap.
"We were surprised to learn that many of the households we studied chose not to perform regular software updates in order to manage their cap," Chetty said. "This activity can be benign for some applications, inadvisable for others and downright dangerous in certain cases. For example, not installing security patches on your system can leave you vulnerable to viruses and other sorts of cyber attacks." Chetty suggested that the frequency of such risky behaviors among the broader population of metered/capped Internet users should be assessed via follow-up scientifically representative surveys.
Finally, in households with multiple Internet users, it can be difficult for the heads of the household to manage overall activity when they are not fully aware of each member's Internet use. As with other consumable resources in a household, from milk to hot water, the apportionment of "fair" amounts of bandwidth reflects family practices and requires a fair bit of nuance, varying by family style and composition.
"As ISPs move more toward usage-based pricing, we need to keep in mind the reactive behaviors that consumers adopt and the consequences of those behaviors. Because when you have broadband caps, you will use the Internet differently," Chetty said. "This study was performed in South Africa, and although the caps are higher in the United States, there are still instances where people are hitting them. So if you're going to have caps, you should empathize with your users and offer ways for customers to see how their data are being used and who is using them." More tools are becoming available, from ISPs, within operating systems and from third parties; but this is one of the first academic studies that systematically reveals why there is a demand for such tools, and why they are important to users.
The study's findings are summarized in the paper, "'You're Capped!' Understanding the Effects of Bandwidth Caps on Broadband Use in the Home," which Chetty will present on May 10 at the 2012 ACM SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI 2012), being held May 5-10 in Austin, Texas. Chetty's coauthors include Beki Grinter, professor in the Georgia Tech School of Interactive Computing, and Richard Banks, A.J. Bernheim Brush and Jonathan Donner from Microsoft Research. The paper is one of nine Georgia Tech entries in the main program of CHI 2012.

Figure 4.1 Micrograph of Cervical Tissue This figure is a view of the regular architecture of normal tissue contrasted with the irregular arrangement of cancerous cells. (credit: "Haymanj"/Wikimedia Commons)
After studying this chapter, you will be able to:
- Identify the main tissue types and discuss their roles in the human body
- Identify the four types of tissue membranes and the characteristics of each that make them functional
- Explain the functions of various epithelial tissues and how their forms enable their functions
- Explain the functions of various connective tissues and how their forms enable their functions
- Describe the characteristics of muscle tissue and how these enable function
- Discuss the characteristics of nervous tissue and how these enable information processing and control of muscular and glandular activities
The body contains at least 200 distinct cell types. These cells contain essentially the same internal structures yet they vary enormously in shape and function. The different types of cells are not randomly distributed throughout the body; rather they occur in organized layers, a level of organization referred to as tissue. The micrograph that opens this chapter shows the high degree of organization among different types of cells in the tissue of the cervix. You can also see how that organization breaks down when cancer takes over the regular mitotic functioning of a cell.
The variety in shape reflects the many different roles that cells fulfill in your body. The human body starts as a single cell at fertilization. As this fertilized egg divides, it gives rise to trillions of cells, each built from the same blueprint, but organizing into tissues and becoming irreversibly committed to a developmental pathway.

Narrative is a naughty word. Its appearance in video game discussions trigger froth to arise from corners of mouths and paints internet forums red. This is most likely because of a prevailing insistence on entertaining an old binary argument: video games are just another medium for storytelling as opposed to narrative being an inconsequential component in games. The latter opinion, along with the ideas of ludology and formalism, mostly won out, and narrative studies maintains its underdog status in the debate. A recent addition to the barrage of anti-narratology essays is Raph Koster's "Narrative is not a game mechanic," which further insists on binary thinking in terms of narrative ("Narrative is not a game mechanic", Raph Koster's Website, 12 January 2010). Koster's treatment of narrative as feedback and static information perpetuates a limiting attitude by misrepresenting what narrative actually is. However, it is not only one person or even the more active subscribers to this school of thought, but instead an ingrained perspective on narrative that polarizes the gaming community and stymies expression in the medium.
This discussion often hits a roadblock because most people use the terms "narrative" and "story" interchangeably. From a design perspective, they are separate ideas. Narrative refers to how something is communicated, most often it is used to refer to the way that someone tells a story. We refer to a narrator, not a "storyer," because the process of communicating an experience is at the heart of the word. Stories are descriptions using narrative elements, such as characters, plot events, point of view, and other mechanical techniques. Following this line of thought, Koster's (among many others') claim that "games can and do exist without narrative" is misleading.
Games don't necessarily tell "embedded stories," such as saving the world from catastrophe, but they do always have a narrative. The easiest way to know if something has a narrative is to ask a person about their experience with that thing, and if they describe abstract events, like feeling excitement or finding something difficult, there's a narrative there. Before anyone dismisses this as some sort of postmodern babble, what the player is actually experiencing has always been at the forefront of designers' minds, but instead of just fun, narrative enables mechanics to express multiple and complex experiences. Games are constantly communicating experiences to the player, as when the height of all your pieces in Tetris is juxtaposed against the increasing speed of the falling blocks to create tension and provoke anxiety. In fact, how the game design world talks about "experience" closely relates to what narrative actually is or where narrative goes to provoke more than just a singular feeling. By relegating narrative elements to the service of rules and objectives, Koster removes the potential for narratives unique expression in games. Looking at narrative as only the context and sometimes the content that the rules exist in restricts it to exposition, and most creative work is only partly exposition.
What makes this perspective on narrative difficult to support is its relative absence in games, though more development teams are starting to focus on it (see job descriptions of narrative designers). So far, video games rely largely on past media to tell their stories—for example, by creating cinematics or filling an experience up with text and dialogue. What we are just starting to find out is how games can tell stories in their own unique way, which often manifests in minimalistic games, often dubbed "art games." The most popular example is Ico, which communicates the relationship between the protagonist and Yorda through a hand holding mechanic. The player receives the complex emotions of a relationship through the ludic circumstances that surround the situation that the characters find themselves in. You're anxious when Ico has to leave Yorda on her own to solve a puzzle, breathing a sigh of relief when you find her unharmed or panicking when she's captured. Your finger both feels at home and cramped on R1 as Ico drags her along. Without going too far into interpretation, Ico tells the typical boy-saves-girl story without relying on the narrative elements native to other mediums. Flipping the more commonly used term of ludonarrative dissonance, this is ludonarrative resonance, which would just be the successful use of game mechanics to communicate a narrative experience. In short, if game mechanics are meant to provide players with experiences such as fun and anxiety, then narrative actually is a game mechanic, as much as game mechanics can also be narrative elements.
Ludology and narratology aren't mutually exclusive studies. In fact, their combined perspectives will improve how video games influence players. Both are formally concerned with how the player interacts with the game and receives the intended experience of the developers. Keeping these aspects separate from one another only harms progression. Instead, one should include artists such as writers in the beginning stages of development so game mechanics and narrative design add necessary layers of complexity to communicate big ideas that only games can experience.

Dog Not Lion Creature Feature
Hong Kong (CNN) -- A zoo in China has angered visitors by trying to pass off a hairy dog as a lion, Chinese state media reported.
A visitor, surnamed Liu, told the state-run Beijing Youth Daily she discovered the fraud when visiting a zoo in a park in Louhe, a city in the central province of Henan, with her son.
As they approached the cage marked "African lion," they were shocked to hear the beast inside emit a bark.
It was a Tibetan mastiff -- a large, hairy breed of dog.
"The zoo is absolutely trying to cheat us," Liu said. "They are trying to disguise dogs as lions."
Other species in the park were similarly mislabeled, the newspaper reported, with another dog in the wolf cage, and a white fox on display in the leopard enclosure.
The head of the park's animal department, Liu Suya, told CNN that the animals had been substituted for various reasons, and would be back in their rightful place soon.
The lion and leopard had both been removed for breeding, she said, with the Tibetan mastiff placed in the lion's cage temporarily "due to safety concerns."
Liu, zoo visitor
Similarly, the dog had been placed in the wolf enclosure to breed a hybrid wolf-dog, she said. "We're not doing it out of shortage of funds," she said.
The substitute lion has drawn ridicule on Chinese social media, with one commenter describing the situation as "absurd."
"If this works why would people even bother to go to the zoo!" wrote Guohebaxiaoma. "Children will cry out 'look a lion came out!' at the sight of Tibetan Mastiff or 'look it's a rat!' seeing snake on the street...This is totally absurd!"
Yidongdexulaoshi said: "This time you're lucky. Because perhaps next time you will find that all the animals in the zoo are played by the faculty. LOL."
"It's way too ironic. Why doesn't the zoo simply just put the zookeeper in a cage with the sign "Gorilla" on its gate," Lanseyapingningliuxunqing added.

The season hasn't started yet, and LeBron James' transition in Los Angeles hasn't gotten off to the smoothest start. Since agreeing to a contract with the Lakers, a mural celebrating his new spot on the team was vandalized.
Welcome to LA @KingJames #thekingofla ... by me and my boy Menso @The7thLetter pic.twitter.com/nBTlowZH3p
— Jonas Never (@never1959) July 6, 2018
Located outside a barbeque restaurant in Venice, the mural was finished on Friday by Jonas Never and artist Fernando Valdez, according to The Washington Post. It features LeBron with a nickname declaring him "The King of L.A."
The mural was defaced with words such as "No King" and the numbers "3-6," which is a reference to his NBA Finals record.
Days before it was vandalized, a Lakers fan account offered a $300 reward to anyone who destroyed the mural.
Lakers Fam Please do your part and Report @BenOsaze He led a group & vandalize the recently painted LeBron Mural. He should no longer be part of the @Twitter Community. pic.twitter.com/bm5YXVAbWP
— UNTOUCHABLE (@KingJamesSZN) July 8, 2018
By Sunday, the mural was restored.

Mare Nostrum (Latin for "Our Sea") was a common Roman name for the Mediterranean Sea. The term was always somewhat ambiguous: it both implied Roman dominance of the Mediterranean and the cultural diversity of the nations that have bordered it for well over two millennia. Since before the Roman times, the Mediterranean Sea always was a meeting ground for cultures that bordered it–sometimes peaceful, sometimes not.
The island of Sicily is not just the geographic center of the Mediterranean, it always was a place where the Orient and the Occident intersected, and it was located at the historically fluid boundary between Europe and Africa. In Antiquity, native peoples like the Elmynians shared the island with Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Greeks, and Romans who all laid claim to all or part of Sicily at some point. Many of these cultures coexisted in Sicily over time, although many battles were fought as well.
After the demise of the Western Roman Empire, a number of Mediterranean cultures dominated Sicily throughout the Middle Ages. Vandals, Goths and Byzantines ruled Sicily in quick succession, until the Arabs erected the Emirate of Sicily (827-1091). The Normans arrived in Sicily in 1061 and created and gradually expanded their own kingdom that lasted until the Norman dynasty died out in 1198. The Hohenstaufen dynasty from Southern Germany assumed the Sicilian crown, followed by the house of Anjou in 1266. By the early 14th century, Sicily had fallen under influence of the Spanish house of Aragon. The common thread in Sicilian history is that it was always ruled by foreign kings who brought in foreign cultural influences.
Today, the narrow lanes in the old towns of Palermo and Cefalù still show the Arabic layout. But it was the Normans who left a huge architectural imprint on Sicily with their ambitious construction program which was designed to re-establish Christianity on the island. The cathedrals of Cefalù and Monreale, both close to Palermo, and the Norman royal palace in Palermo with its stunning palace chapel demonstrate that Norman Palermo was perhaps the most important European cultural center in the 12th century–and an early hub of globalization.
The Normans left a big imprint on Sicily from the time of their first arrival in 1061 until around 1250. They created a hybrid culture that is commonly referred to as Norman-Arab or Norman-Arab-Byzantine culture. This civilization resulted from the interaction between the Greek-speaking population, Arab settlers who had dominated the island before the arrival of the Normans, and of course the Romanesque Northern European culture imported by the Normans. As a result, Sicily became the crossroads of Mediterranean cultures under Norman rule, and a hybrid culture arose that integrated Norman-Catholic, Byzantine-Orthodox and Arab-Islamic elements. The Monreale Cathedral with its Byzantine mosaics and the adjacent cloister created by Arabic craftsmen is the crowning achievement of this culture.
Today, the concept of Mare Nostrum has taken on a different meaning. Following the tragic 2013 Lampedusa migrant shipwreck in which over 360 African refugees drowned, the Italian government implemented the Operation Mare Nostrum, a military and humanitarian operation designed to simultaneously rescue refugees who cross the Mediterranean Sea from Africa in unsafe, overloaded boats and to apprehend the traffickers. The initiative has since been scaled back for financial reasons.
In this contemporary usage, the term Mare Nostrum is intended to embrace the diversity of Mediterranean cultures and to enhance exchange and cooperation between them. But the opposite is happening in Sicily today. The unresolved refugee crisis that is focused on Sicily, primarily due to its proximity to the North African coast, highlights how Sicily's role in a new era of globalization has changed. What once was the center of the Mediterranean world now has become an outpost of the European Union, the border between the wealthy industrialized nations and the Global South. Ironically, the globalization of the 21st century has created an impermeable border, a bulwark both physical and mental, on an island that was the meeting point of Mediterranean cultures and civilizations for over two millennia.

There's always room for a little more good news.
As we look back on 2022, we wanted to share a few of our favorite moments of joy from the year to bring a bit of hope, whimsy and humor to your end of year festivities.
Here are a few bits of weird, wild and wonderful news for you to enjoy from across NPR's network of newsrooms!
So the sculpture you got at Goodwill was actually looted from a museum. Now what?
Back in 2018, Laura Young was in an Austin Goodwill when she found a marble sculpture stashed under a table for $34.99. She bought it and brought it home. But after some Googling, she discovered her sculpture was actually a portrait bust that was previously on display in a German museum in the 1920s and '30s.
So how did it get to Texas? Here's what KUT's Matt Largey found out.
Louisiana's newest legal sport: Noodling
Noodling, which is when one catches catfish with their bare hands, became legal in Louisiana in August. Not like that's stopped anyone before.
WWNO's Kezia Setyawan explains.
This fall, the Swinomish Tribe built the U.S.'s first modern 'clam garden,' reviving an ancient practice
It's believed that a clam garden — a traditional Indigenous way of boosting shellfish production — hadn't been built in the United States for close to 200 years. A few dozen people in work gloves and rubber boots gathered on that small island about 50 miles north of Seattle during one of the lowest tides of the year, and rock by rock, brought the practice back.
What they built has long since disappeared beneath the waves, but as KUOW's John Ryan explains, that's exactly how it was meant to be.
Kansas City's pinball scene is coming out of the dark, and into the basement
A wave of post-pandemic nostalgia has brought back the pinball machine, an arcade game, typically seen in bars, malls, and now basements.
From competitions to a resurgence of pinball repair companies and a growing number of collectors, KCUR's Carlos Moreno discusses how this game represents "the last pieces of Americana."
The University of Maine 3D-printed affordable housing
The home has been printed using a material known as wood flour. It's essentially the waste left over from a sawmill — and mixed together with a binder made from corn.
Maine Public's Nicole Ogrysko breaks down what this house "made of ... bio-stuff" means for the country's housing crisis.
A Missouri town almost forgot it invented the greatest thing since anything: sliced bread
In 2001, Catherine Stortz Ripley found an old newspaper headline claiming that Chillicothe was the first place to make sliced bread. Since then, this rural Missouri town of 10,000 has reclaimed their name to fame and even declared July 7 Sliced Bread Day, an official holiday.
KCUR's Suzanne Hogan describes how this innovation not only changed America, but how it reshaped this town's identity.
The rock gods care about attitude, not perfection
Nobody expects a bunch of women in their 40s and 50s to start a rock band — especially if most of them have never played music before. But then, nobody expected a pandemic. Enter: the Lazy Susans.
WBUR's Joanna Weiss shares the story of how this mom group learned to rock.
How Honolulu got to the US championship in the Little League World Series
Earlier this year, the Honolulu team took home the Little League World Series title, but pitching and high run counts aren't the only impressive feats of Hawaiʻi team members. Their character on and off the field has caught the attention of others.
Hawai'i Public Radio's Sabrina Bodon explains.
A young dolphin tangled in an illegal net was freed with the help of local marine patrol
"I got you, buddy"🐬
— Miami-Dade Police (@MiamiDadePD) January 12, 2022
Officer Nelson Silva, of our Marine Patrol Unit, received a call of a dolphin in distress in the Shorecrest area. Officer Silva located a juvenile dolphin that was trapped in a fishing net. Watch the video to see how Officer Silva helped free the dolphin. pic.twitter.com/qI0J2p3zJI
Miami-Dade Marine Patrol Officer Nelson Silva's body cam caught one of his proudest moments: freeing a young dolphin ensnarled in an illegal grill net.
WLRN's Jenny Staletovich breaks down the stressful save.
Building with bubble wrap, plastic grocery bags and food containers
A new company wants to turn our plastic scraps into building materials. ByFusion's machines use a combination of steam and compression to create the blocks, which they say have an equal insulating R-value to concrete blocks, but a much better K-value, which means the blocks don't absorb and radiate heat like concrete does.
And as Boise State Public Radio's Troy Oppie explains, each is a kaleidoscope of single-use plastic.
A club finds a new home
For more than 40 years, Capital Pool Checkers Association players met up at their clubhouse in Shaw, until spring 2021, when their landlord decided to sell the building, setting the group on the hunt for a new hangout. It wasn't an easy task given D.C.'s rising rent prices, and the group's finances — they fund themselves solely on dues from members, whose numbers have dwindled in recent years.
Thankfully, as WAMU/DCist's Colleen Grablick explains, the world famous crew has finally found a new clubhouse.
This piece was produced by NPR's Analise Ober with help from Arielle Retting and Emily Alfin Johnson. KUT's Andy Jechow, KUOW's Juan Pablo Chiquiza, WBUR's Meghan B. Kelly, KCUR's Gabe Rosenberg, Boise State Public Radio's Lacey Daley, WLRN's Katie Lepri Cohen and WAMU/DCist's Chris Chester all contributed to this piece. contributed to this story

Just as most of the world turns the corner this week, from
Labor Day to the accelerated pace of work and the school year, Jews everywhere
are returning as well. We are coming
"home," to family and to community, to our core values and our truest selves.
The Stamford Board of Rabbis, representing the full spectrum of Jewish diversity, welcomes everyone home. While most people have been relaxing and soaking in those final elusive rays of summer sun, we've been preparing for a holiday season that begins unusually early this year. Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, begins at sunset on Wednesday, Sept. 4.
We approach these Days of Awe with great hope, mixed with
trepidation. The world is shaking from
recent events in the Middle East. We
pray for the safety of all innocent life, and in particular the children who
have been so victimized by senseless cruelty.
We pray for peace and security for the state of Israel, a true ally and
bastion of stability and humanity in a combustible region. We pray also for the success of current
efforts designed to bring peace and reconciliation at last between Israel and
her Palestinian neighbors. And we pray
for those in our area still recovering from the traumas of Sandy and Sandy
Hook, and those victimized by violence, hatred and cruelty.
And finally, we invite those who are searching to seek us
out. During these tumultuous times,
everyone needs a home base from which to draw strength, support and
inspiration. All of our congregations do just that. For those new to the area, we welcome you
with open arms. We welcome you home.
To all our neighbors, we wish you a sweet and peaceful 5774,
filled with joy and blessing.
The Stamford Board of Rabbis
Rabbi Joshua Hammerman, Board of Rabbis President, Temple
Beth El,
Rabbi Daniel Cohen, Congregation Agudath Sholom
Rabbi Mark Golub, Chavurah Aytz Chayim
Rabbi Elly Krimsky, Young Israel of Stamford

Hello Alain. Thank you so much for the info. And breve I got from you. You get top ratings from me! You are really very serious. And thanks for your services. I will hear from me if I need more help. Best regards. Mats.
Hello dear Yuliya, I was in Zaporozhye last week and your agency there gave me a great service. Alyona is really a good manager of the agency. The apartment was very well located and in excellent conditions. The interpreting services and car drivers very good too. So I think I will write you a letter saying congratulation to you and them. Thanks!
Hello dear Yuliya. I will tell you a little about my visit in Grodno. I did get all the info and help from Maya before the travel I needed. I was picked up at airport at arrival in Minsk. In Grodno I was given this nice apartment, where I was provided some food and fruit and juice for a couple of days. Maya arranged the meeting with Irina, Maya did not look at the time under the meeting, she told us that we could call if there was any problems no matter what the time was. The meeting was very good, and Irina and I did spend the days and evenings together. When I needed internet, I was given a computer with internet at agency free go charge. When I had to go back to Minsk I was picked up and got to airport in good time. So I must say that it was a good tour to Grodno. And I must say that I am very satisfied with the service Maya and her people in the agency give. I have this feeling that I was treated like a member in her family. I think you already know it, Maya is very good at her job, she do it with good humor and create a good and positive atmosphere. Hope everything is great and good in Canada. Best regards Kim
Hello Dear Alain, Thank you soooo much for your wonderful help, am already in Poltava and the agent met me. They are very nice and honest people. I am so glad that I put my profile in your website. I met several marriage agents before and they were not honest at all. Your website is great and the local marriage agents that they work with you are great too and very friendly and honest. I will tell all my friends about your website. Thank you again for all your help. Sincerely, Nasser
Nasser, USA
Hello Yuliya and Allan I'm writing you back from Portugal to share with you the wonderful experience that was my visit to Grodno in Belarus from March the 23rd to 27th to meet with Irina, the marvelous lady that I am corresponding with. All of the details were taken care by the Agency in Grodno, and very well managed by Maya. The professionalism and competence were shown since the first`s stages of my booking and reservation`s. The knowledge of the entire process, necessary request`s and the simple and clear elucidations about all the needing details to enter and travel thru Belarus were so clear that left me relaxed about it. All the details were very well token care by Maya. So I was only concerned in what was really important for me, meet Irina. The concern and constant attention continued during my visit and they really made me feel at home. I am used to be spoiled... but not so much. Thank you for your great and professional service, really appreciated it. It is a must and I recommend it to everyone. I just don`t think that I will need it more because things between Irina and me started well during our correspondence translated by the agency, better during our SKYPE conversations with Maya as an interpreter and our relation just exploded now after we meet.

My first "non-free" app is now available for purchase in the iTunes store for 99 cents. Here's a snippet of its description:
Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.
-West African Proverb
Having trouble keeping order in your meetings? Not receiving the proper level of respect from those around you? Then buy this app! Badger your peers into submission with the constant banging of a judge's gavel or several other thumping items. There's even a Krushchev mode for thumping with a shoe. (Please refer to 1960s political history if you don't know the reference.) And if thumping a virtual shoe at someone doesn't get one's attention, you can always try a real shoe, but this app doesn't include a real shoe. You'll need to supply that yourself.
What this app does include are several virtual items with realistic sound effects: a gavel (in a few different styles), a wooden mallet, a carpenter's hammer, a sledgehammer, a dead fish and more! The attention each item demands will vary depending on the anger in your swing.
Here's a video demonstrating its usefulness:

The first official set of edX courses will be announced this summer, and will begin in the fall.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Always wanted to take a Harvard class? Soon you'll be able to do so from the comfort of your own home.
Harvard and MIT announced a partnership Wednesday to offer free online courses to students around the world. The initiative, known as edX, will be run by a non-profit organization controlled by the two schools. Each has committed $30 million to the effort.
The first official courses will be announced this summer and are set to begin in the fall.
EdX students won't receive university credit for the classes, which will span a variety of disciplines. There's no admissions process, but there are exams and other assessments, with certificates available "for a modest fee" to students who demonstrate mastery of the material.
The project builds on an online education program that MIT announced last year. A prototype course on circuits and electronics began in March and attracted more than 120,000 students, though only about 10,000 stayed with the course through the mid-term exam, an MIT spokeswoman said.
The Harvard-MIT project faces some competition in the push to make high-quality educational courses available online.
Last month, Princeton, Stanford, Michigan and the University of Pennsylvania announced that they would offer free Web-based courses through a for-profit company called Coursera that was founded by two Stanford computer science professors. One of those professors, Andrew Ng, taught a free online course in machine learning this past fall with an enrollment of more than 100,000 students.
There's also Udacity, co-founded by a former Stanford professor, and Khan Academy, which boasts 3,100 free educational videos across a variety of subjects.
MIT and Harvard said that they hope to eventually partner with other universities to expand the offerings on the edX platform.
"Harvard and MIT will use these new technologies and the research they will make possible to lead the direction of online learning in a way that benefits our students, our peers, and people across the nation and the globe," Harvard president Drew Faust said.

Undeterred by massive budget deficits from wars, a falling economy, and financial bailouts, the US government has managed to start a new cold war with Russia. Last Friday, the Russian military announced that it was developing a new generation of ballistic missiles in response to the US government's decision to deploy ballistic missile defenses in Poland and the Czech Republic.
The "peace dividend" that the Reagan-Gorbachev accord provided has been squandered by an arrogant American government seeking world hegemony.
In 2002 the Bush regime unilaterally withdrew from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty that the US government signed with the Soviet Union in 1972. This treaty stabilized the "assured mutual destruction" that prevented the two military superpowers from initiating war, thus averting a nuclear holocaust for 30 years.
When the Soviet government released its Eastern European "captive nations," the US government promised not to recruit the Baltic and Eastern European countries for NATO membership. The US government pledged that NATO would not be brought to Russia's borders. There would be a neutral zone between the Western military alliance and Russia. The American government broke this promise as quickly as it could, bringing former constituent parts of the Russian empire into the American empire.
Last October Admiral Michael Mullen, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, went to Lithuania to give a guarantee to the Baltics of US military intervention in the event of a Russian attack. Like the British guarantee that Chamberlain gave Poland in 1939, a guarantee that precipitated World War II, Mullen's guarantee is worthless unless the US government initiates nuclear war with Russia in defense of the tiny Baltic republics, which would be wiped out by the radiation fallout.
The US has tried to incorporate the Ukraine and Georgia, constituent parts of Russia for centuries, into NATO. To clear the way for NATO membership, the Bush regime encouraged the American puppet ruler of Georgia to cleanse provinces, attached to Georgia by Stalin, of Russians in order to end secessionist movements. When Russian troops drove the American and Israeli trained and equipped Georgian army out of the Russian parts of Georgia, the US government lied that Russia had invaded Georgia..
This malevolent lie was too much for the Russians and too much of the rest of the world. It was plain to all that the US, an aggressor state striving to encircle Russia with bases even to the edge of central Asia, had initiated a war that it then blamed on Russia. After Afghanistan, Iraq, Bush's defense of Israel's 2006 war criminal attack on Lebanon, and Bush's false claims of an Iranian nuclear weapon, few, if any, countries any longer believe pronouncements of the US government. The US is regarded worldwide as an aggressor state that lies through its teeth.
This means that unless China decides to play the US and Russia off in order to emerge as the sole world power, there is no one to finance America's side of the new cold war that the US government has created.
The only other way Washington can finance a new arms race with Russia is to cancel Social Security and Medicare, and to repudiate its massive foreign debts. If Washington does this, the likely result would be revolution at home and isolation internationally.
For decades Washington has prevailed because the US dollar is the reserve currency. It is the world's money. This advantage allows Washington to purchase almost every other government. There are governments all over the world, from Europe to Egypt, from Ukraine to South Korea to Japan, that are owned by Washington. When Washington speaks of spreading freedom and democracy, Washington means it has purchased more governments to do its will.
These purchased governments do not represent their people. They represent American hegemony.
Now that the Great Hegemon is bankrupt and its economy is collapsing, thanks to unbridled greed, American influence is waning. The US dollar cannot survive the massive red ink that the US generates.
When the dollar collapses, the image of a strutting Washington as "the world's only superpower" will evaporate. The evil that is the American government will find itself at war with its own people and those of the rest of the world.

Hi there,
I'm trying to verify my CSR for Visa checkout so I can promote my project, but I haven't had any luck. Been using openssl and filling in the necessary info, however, when using Visa's CSR UID I keep getting an "invalid CSR UID" message. If anybody's done this, please help 😄
Thanks !
Solved! Go to Solution
Thanks for posting your question to the Visa Community Forum. If you are currently in Sandbox then the UID is not needed in the CSR while the project is in Sandbox.
To generate/create a CSR, please follow the getting started guide https://developer.visa.com/vdpguide#get-started-overview. The instructions provided on how to generate/create a CSR file is in chronological order. Please follow the getting started guide and on the left navigation guide, select Two-Way SSL (Mutual Authentication) https://developer.visa.com/vdpguide#twoway_ssl_mutual_authentication. This guide will walk you through on how to auto generate the CSR or create your CSR.
Please let me know if you have other questions.
Thank you,
Visa Developer Team
Hi Alex,
Please refer the documentation Diana has advised in her reply.
Also make sure following is the format of your openssl command when generating the CSR file.
You have to include all the parameters, subject details in to the single line command.
Also please note that there is "-PROD" as a suffix to UID value.
Openssl req -new -key C:\TestPrivateKey.pem -out C: \TestCSR.pem -subj "/email@example.com/UID=yourProjectUIDValue-PROD/CN=Your-FQDN/O=YourOrg/OU=YourOU/C=SG/ST=YourState/L=YourCity" -config "C:\temp\openssl.cnf"
I am using OpenSSL on Windows 10. I downloaded and installed OpenSSL-Win64 (OpenSSL Light). However, I don't have an openssl.cnf file. Did your install include the file or did you create the file?
You can create a config file for your own using a template that can be searched and downloaded from the internet.
And you can explicitly specify the path to it in your openssl command.
Thanks for the quick response to my last question.
Do you get this error
11892:error:2406F079:random number generator:RAND_load_file:Cannot open file:crypto\rand\randfile.c:88:Filename=./.rnd
And can it be ignored? I found a post on the openssl github site that indicates it isn't necessary and recommends removing RANDFILE= from openssl.cnf.
Thanks again.
No need to reply to my previous post.
I created an openssl.cfg by copying an example I found. It doesn't include a RANDFILE= line
I ran this command to create a private key and the csr and there were no errors.
openssl req -new -keyout PrivateKey.pem -out Request.csr -subj "/firstname.lastname@example.com/UID=xxxxxxx-8950-49ba-bd12-5f07b67961b5-CERT/CN=www.myjob.com/O=My Company LLC/OU=Payments/C=US/ST=MyState/L=MyCity" -config "openssl.cnf"

Simple Blogging With WordPress
WordPress is one of the many options available to bloggers who are looking for free software online which makes it incredibly easy to publish their own blog. This software is easy to use, provides a variety of templates and offer excellent support to bloggers. There are many options available to bloggers and other blogging programs may be better known and offer slightly different features but many bloggers are quite pleased with WordPress. This article will offer some useful information for bloggers who are considering starting a blog with WordPress such as reasons to choose WordPress, tips on starting a blog and information about the support offered by WordPress. Based on this information as well as their own research bloggers can decide whether WordPress is right for them or whether they should seek out a different blog network.
Reasons to Choose WordPress
There are many great reasons to choose WordPress to start a blog. Some of these reasons include a great variety of templates, the ability to categorize and tag posts easily, features such as spell check, previews and autosave, the ability to post text, audio files and video files, a variety of privacy options and the ability to track statistical data related to the blog in addition to other great features. Some of these features may be more important to some bloggers than others so deciding whether or not WordPress is right for you will largely be a matter of personal preference. For example bloggers with little or no programming experience may enjoy the myriad of templates available on WordPress while bloggers who are concerned about privacy issues may be more interested in the privacy options available through WordPress. Carefully investigating these features will help bloggers determine if they should start a blog with WordPress.
Starting a Blog with WordPress
Bloggers who opt to start a blog with WordPress will certainly not be disappointed by the amount of time it takes to start a blog. A blogger can literally start a blog with WordPress within minutes. This is tremendously important to bloggers who are eager to get started and do not want to deal with a long process to start a blog. The only requirements for starting a blog are a valid email address and a username. The blogger enters this information into the signup page and receives a password almost instantly. Next, the blogger simply has to check his email, follow the activation link provided and use the password provided and the process is complete. The blogger can start blogging immediately.
Support Offered by WordPress
For many first time bloggers, the type of support offered is very important. This is because first-time bloggers may have quite a few questions about the process of starting a basic blog and once they establish a basic blog they may have additional questions about using advanced features and customizing the blog. WordPress offers a great deal of support for bloggers of all skill levels. The support offered by WordPress includes the ability to contact the support staff as well as the ability to receive support from other members through online forums. Although the support staff is incredibly responsive some bloggers enjoy the ability to communicate with other bloggers in forums. This is because the forums are active 24 hours a day and bloggers can find support from peers at any time.

Mayans M.C.
3 products
Featuring official Mayans M.C. apparel, accessories, and drinkware, Shop Hulu has everything you need to show some love for your fandom.
Mayans M.C. follows the life of Ezekiel "EZ" Reyes (JD Pardo), a newly patched member of the Mayans M.C. charter on the Cali/Mexi border. Once the golden boy with the American Dream in his grasp, EZ and his brother Angel (Clayton Cardenas) are closer than ever after uncovering the truth behind their mother's murder while their father Felipe (Edward James Olmos) struggles to reconcile the choices he and his sons have made.
After U.S. Assistant District Attorney Lincoln Potter (Ray McKinnon) threatens to deport Felipe, EZ and Angel chose to leverage incriminating information to protect him rather than to free rebel leader Adelita (Carla Baratta) from federal custody, leaving her to give birth to Angel's son while in handcuffs. Meanwhile, Miguel Galindo (Danny Pino) is left reeling over the loss of his mother to apparent suicide, while others quietly suspect foul play. Additionally, the Mayans seek vengeance on their rivals, the Tijuana M.C. Vatos Malditos, after a surprise attack on their club. When the smoke clears, they discover the body of a Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club Redwood Original – there will be hell to pay.
