5 Chris Stapleton Collaborations That'll Make You Go 'OMG, Did That Really Happen?!'
Though Chris Stapleton has only been widely known as a solo superstar for a few years, he's been working in music for nearly two decades. Throughout that time, he's collaborated with countless artists as a songwriter and more than a few as a performer in his own right, bringing a soulful, gritty and downright beautiful sound to traditional country music.
Artists from all genres have been known to pine for a spot singing alongside Stapleton; in fact, Justin Timberlake has (jokingly?) admitted he "fangirled" and "stalked" Stapleton after hearing Stapleton's song "Fire Away" for the first time. The following are five of The Boot's all-time favorite collaborations from Stapleton:
Brent Cobb
A live collaboration between Stapleton and Cobb was practically a given during Stapleton's 2017 All-American Road Show, for which Cobb was an opener. But what fans might not have expected was that they would duet on a classic rock song.
On the final night of Stapleton's tour, Cobb joined him onstage to pay tribute to late, great AC/DC guitarist Malcolm Young. The duo performed a unique cover of the band's classic song "You Shook Me All Night Long," slowing down the hard-rock anthem into more of a country love ballad. From the drawling chorus to a mid-song guitar shred, it was perfect.
Morgane Stapleton
Stapleton rarely takes the stage without his wife, and it's for good reason: Anytime the two sing together, it's pure magic. Case in point: when he and Morgane collaborated for Dave Cobb's Southern Family compilation album and turned a simple lullaby, "You Are My Sunshine," into a epic, bluesy love song. The song has since become a regular in Stapleton's setlist, garnering practical pandemonium every time the two sing it together onstage. The song is also super special to the couple; Chris even has its title engraved on the inside of his wedding ring!
Justin Timberlake
Fans at the 2017 Pilgrimage Festival, which took place outside of Nashville, were in for quite a treat when Stapleton and his wife hopped onstage during Timberlake's headlining set. Of course, now we know it was foreshadowing their stellar duet, "Say Something," on Timberlake's 2018 album Man of the Woods, but at the time, it was a definite surprise! Timberlake and the Stapletons -- who, of course, are also responsible for one of the greatest moments in recent CMA Awards history -- performed "Tennessee Whiskey," "Fire Away" and "Sometimes I Cry," with Timberlake practically falling all over himself in awe of Stapleton ... and rightly so!
Miranda Lambert
"Fire Away" is an opus in itself, but when Lambert took the stage during Stapleton's 2017 tour stop in Buffalo, N.Y., she added a whole new level of awesome to the track. Surprising fans by casually walking onstage at the start of the song, Lambert let Stapleton stay in the driver's seat for most of the tune, adding harmonies alongside his wife, Morgane. But near the end, the Stapletons stepped back from their mics and let her take center stage as she roared through the song's last bars. It was powerful and perfect and everything you would want a collaboration between Lambert and Stapleton to be ... just like their turn on "My Girl!"
Lady Af
Stapleton teamed up with Lady A (at the time, Lady Antebellum) at the 2014 CMT Artists of the Year event to honor another country singer, Luke Bryan. When Bryan had to step away from the show after the death of his brother-in-law, Stapleton, Dave Haywood, Charles Kelley and Hillary Scott used the void to pay tribute to the singer and his family with a moving rendition of "Drink a Beer." The song, which was a 2013 hit for Bryan, was written by Stapleton and Jim Beavers.

At twenty four months, your baby can remember the faces of the people closest to him or her. Often, this is why a child will cry when separated from their primary caregivers. This visual stage is very important to future development. "The ability to see and hear forms a crucial part of brain development in children. At this stage, parents must introduce the child to various colors, shapes and sounds to stimulate this area of brain," according to Buzzle.
There are many other ideas you can use to introduce your child to other influential factors.
Influential factors
There are a few different types of brain-related development happening during childhood. How children learn and grow with these factors depends on a few different things.
"These important factors include genetics, food and nutrition, responsiveness of parents, daily experiences, physical activity and love. In particular, parents should be aware of the importance of furnishing a healthy and nutritious diet, giving love and nurturing, providing interesting and varied everyday experiences, and giving children positive and sensitive feedback," the North Dakota State University Extension Office supplement on Understanding Brain Development in Young Children said.
Four types of childhood learning
Each interaction a caregiver has with a child is important for fostering childhood learning. The following are four different types of learning experienced in childhood:
Motor skills
The ability to move and walk encompasses motor skills directly. "Activities like rolling over; crawling, walking, running and jumping are gross motor skills. These skills usually involve using the entire body or several parts of the body at one time," Esther Boylan Wolfson, Director of the Early Childhood Development Center said on Wholefamily.com.
Muscle strength and tone are also vital areas to evaluate when assessing your child's motor skills.
Specific activities: Gymnastics and tumbling classes, drawing, learning to tie shoes and using scissors.
Visual capabilities
Visual skills are gained over time.
"Most children, when born, have limited visual development. They may be able to see shapes or contrasting colors like black and white, but most can't see primary colors like red or blue before they are a month or two old," according to EyeDoctorGuide.com. Therefore, it takes awhile in the development of a child for visual capabilities to begin to appear.
Specific activities: Learning colors and shapes, sorting and folding laundry and looking at pictures are main elements of visual child development.
Emotional capacity
Helping your child become a social and appropriately emotional individual is something he will carry the rest of his life. In Erikson's Eight Stages of Development, from The Child Development Institute, there is much to be acquired. Attributes such as hope, will, competence and others make up the list, among others.
Specific activities: Learning appropriate responses like "thank you" and "please," playing with other children and helping your child make friends at play-dates and other events.
Doing sign language with your baby or child may help them develop better motor skills, a PBS report states. Another technique, fingerspelling, is also being used. "Fingerspelling is the use of hand positions to represent letters of the alphabet," the report said.
Learning such a thing could lead to early reading skills.
"Sign language and fingerspelling deliver additional clues for learning to read. Reading is an acquired skill that requires a planned sequence of skill development. The use of sign language and fingerspelling is a strategy that can be integrated into almost any existing reading program," PBS said.
Specific activities: Singing songs and rhymes, reading books and encouraging storytelling exercises, no matter how simple.
More on Early Child Development
Renowned Swiss biologist and psychologist Jean Piaget developed a theory based on the idea that the developing child builds cognitive structures, or mental "maps" or schemes for understanding and responding to physical experiences within his or her environment. These schemes increase in sophistication as a child develops. Piaget's theory identifies four developmental stages which you can read more about here on Funderstanding.

I usually have a little more time to myself while writing my annual birthday letter to you beautiful, but just last week… we welcomed your baby brother into the world. I keep looking at you, wondering what you're thinking about this latest installment into our family but you know, if you don't end up being Daddy's chief game designer, I'm sure you'd make a great poker player. When I think of you, the phrase "still waters run deep" springs to mind. It's not that you're not vocal… it's just that you're always, always thinking, far more deeply and analytically than any child I've known.
For a Mum, this is something that I both cherish and despise. Shouldn't you just be living in the moment, shouldn't I be the one doing all this deep-thinking for you? The truth is, you love nothing more. If you're not applying this analysis to your own thoughts and feelings, you're asking me and Daddy to quiz you on the Universe. You want to know where you came from (not like that) and why you're here. You want to know all about Earth's gravity and just how big is the Sun anyway? But despite your adoration for all things planetary, you know for sure that you never want to be an astronaut. Far too scary. Clever girl, we don't want you to be an astronaut either.
We've bought you a telescope for your birthday. You may only be able to see into next door's garden with it but all the same, I know you'll cherish it for the way you'll feel as though you've been given a key to another portal. Let alone the opportunity to stay up a bit later for some moon-gazing. You have a glow in the dark solar system hanging from your ceiling and your favourite planet, despite its rugged and inhospitable surface is Mercury. I think that Venus, with its poisonous clouds, makes you feel a little in awe of just how incredible it is up there.
This is the year in which you started infant school, and after the tribulations of starting nursery, both Daddy and I were terrified. Not about how you'd fit into an academic environment and the stresses of a work-load, but fearful of how you'd socialise with your friends. Let's face it… you still struggle to mount a climbing frame with any kind of grace at all, the monkey-bars don't even stand a chance. This makes you a little sad. I know that for once, you'd love to be able to catch your best friend Issy whilst playing tag… but just like your Mum before you, we simply weren't built for speed my love. Unlike your Mum, however, just recently… we've noticed that you seem to have been blessed with a generous side-order of humour… comical timing and a quick wit that endears you to both adults and children alike. This is something that, if we're honest, has caught us by surprise… our little girl is a funny one! Please stay self-confident enough to know that the things you have to say are worth the smile of others.
School is going really well, you're almost up to box 6 for reading. You love a bit of maths (though hate being wrong) and we often catch you belting out school assembly songs about all the different year groups and classes. You're not top of the class but slightly better than average and you know what? That's a very comfortable place to be in life. One of my favourite things about your school life is the way you come home with a newly-learned word that simply must be slotted into our every conversation… "Hey Mum, let's collaborate!"
Just recently, you've developed the kind of sass that makes me both roar with laughter and hold my head in my hands as I catch glimpses of the future teenager you'll become. From your street-dancing (single person grinding) in Asda to your desperate desire to have the last word, you're finding your own way. For now, I can hold my own but I know that a time will come when I need to allow you the occasional victory if I don't want you to experience too many of those teenage feelings of resentment. Give me a few more years of reminding you who the Mummy is though, eh?
When you see us looking at houses to buy, you worry that we're going to move too far away for you to have your weekly sleepover at Nanny and Pop's house. We do our very best to reassure you that this will never happen and it's true. Our initial desire to roam further afield in the quest for a more affordable home has been quelled by the simple knowledge that such a move would break your heart. So important are your Nanny and Pop to you, we understand and realise that they're more like second-parents than grandparents. You are so very lucky to be so very loved.
Hot on Nanny and Pop's heels is your infatuation for your cousins. If you're not making cards and notes for Mummy and Daddy, you're inventing ways to express your adoration for the cousins you get to see frequently: Mildred, Ava, Eli, and Ola. From simple scraps of paper to sophisticated Cool Cardz, from Post-It Notes to hand-crafted greeting's cards… our flat is awash with your arty creations. Only around 10% of these find their way to their intended targets once life has gotten in the way… but still, they keep coming. "I love you!", "Thanks for being my friend!". They love you too stinky-bum.
Your brother is wakimg up and so I must find a way to close this letter to you. I just want to thank you for being so bloody brilliant, so genuinely reasonable, and so infinitely enchanting.
Leila Jean (beauty queen), Happy 5th Birthday big girl. We love you to Pluto and back.

(Redirected from PAWNBROKERS.)The law against taking pledges for debt is drawn from the following passages: "No man shall take the mill or the upper millstone to pledge: for he taketh a man's life to pledge" (Deut. xxiv. 6, R. V.), "nor [shall he] take the widow's raiment to pledge" (ib. xxiv. 17, R. V.); "And if he be a poor man, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge: thou shalt surely restore to him," etc. (ib. xxiv. 12-13, R. V.); and Ex. xxii. 26 to like effect. The "taking to pledge" in these passages is understood as meaning a seizure to secure an overdue debt, not the taking of a pledge by consent at the time of a loan.
In the Mishnah.The oral law goes in its interpretation far beyond the letter of Scripture. The Mishnah says (B. M. ix. 13): "He who takes a mill to pledge breaks a negative command, and is guilty for each of two implements, the lower and the upper millstone [referring to Deut. xxiv. 6]; and this applies not only to a mill, but to any implement where with life-givingfood is made, for it is said, 'he taketh man's life to pledge.'" "One does not distrain the goods of a widow, whether she be poor or rich" (referring to ib. xxiv. 17). "He must return the pillow for the night, and the plow for the day; but if the debtor dies, they need not be returned to the heirs." The seizure in this way is of use to the creditor only to preserve his lien and to prevent the debt from running out in the year of release. Elsewhere ('Ar. vi. 3), on the occasion of an execution on behalf of the Sanctuary, but as a rule applicable to all debts, the Mishnah reserves to the debtor (1) food for thirty days; (2) clothing for a year, bed and bedding, sandals, and phylacteries; (3) to a mechanic his tools, such as adzes and saws, two of each kind, and, according to R. Eliezer also, to a farmer his yoke of beasts for the plow, and to a carrier his ass. But according to the prevailing opinion ('Ar. 23b), oxen and asses are not regarded as tools and are not exempt.
There is a discussion in the Talmud (Shab. 128a) as to what should be done in the case of a man heavily in debt and clothed in a robe worth 2,500 shekels. Should it be taken from him and clothing suited to his position given him? R. Ishmael answers, "All Israelites are the sons of kings, and no garment is above their rank." From these passages in Mishnah and Talmud the Shulḥan 'Aruk draws the following rules (Ḥoshen Mishpaṭ. 97):
Further Development.The officer of the court can not seize a hand-mill, but a water-mill is landed estate, and, without being actually seized, is treated like lands (see Appraisement). But if the creditor undertakes to remove parts of a water-mill, they become personalty and exempt. Pans and pots for cooking, a knife for slaughtering, and the like, are "implements for life-giving food." If such things are taken to pledge, the creditor must return them. According to R. Moses Isserles, such tools as barber's scissors are not exempt, nor are beasts of the plow. Scissors for cutting grass are clearly exempt, the grass being food. If a man has five hand-mills in use, none of them can be seized; but if only one is in use, the others are subject to seizure. Food itself is subject after the lawful allowance is set aside.
The officer can not seize a garment which the debtor has on his body, nor the vessel from which he is eating, and he must leave a couch or bench to sit upon, and a bed and mattress to sleep upon. Though seizing all the rest, he must return bed-clothes for the night, and tools for the daytime. It should be remembered that household goods are not sold, but simply held as security; other goods are sold after the lapse of thirty days. The obligation to return household goods holds even when the debtor is rich in landed estate.
Exemptions from Pledge.The officers who arrange satisfaction say to the debtor: "Bring all your movable property, not keeping back as much as one needle." From the whole they set aside for him provisions for thirty days (as a "middling man," says R. Moses Isserles, though he had lived like a poor man before) and clothes for twelve months, excepting, however, silken garments or a gold-embroidered turban; these things they take from him, and give him a sufficient supply of clothing better suited to his condition (contrary to R. Ishmael's view). They set aside also bed, mattress, and bedclothes, but these things are not set aside as exempt if they are the property of the wife and children, who simply keep what they have; for it is the husband's duty to support them. Sandals and phylacteries are exempt. A mechanic is allowed a double set of tools (as in the Mishnah); farm- or draft-animals are not set aside, nor the skipper's ship or boat, nor the professional scholar's books. The creditor has priority over the wife's right of maintenance, but he can not seize her or her children's clothing, nor the cloth which has been dyed for their use, nor the shoes brought for them, even though they have not been worn, nor books bought for the children's education. According to some opinions, the finer clothes for the wife's wear on Sabbaths and festivals are not exempt, and certainly garments containing gold or silver clasps, if bought by the husband for the wife, are subject to his debts. Where, however, they form part of her dowry they are exempt.
The allowances named above are to be set aside from either land or personalty. There is some dispute as to whether the allowance ("siddur") is to be set aside where the debt has been incurred for wages or for the hire of beasts, and not for money or property; also as to how far the debtor can waive the allowance when contracting a loan. But the debtor can not waive the exemption of "implements for life-giving food," as no stipulations can be made contrary to the provisions of the Torah. However, the Ḥoshen Mishpat closes the subject with a clause which might defeat all these humane provisions: if the debtor has sworn that he will pay the debt, he must give up even his last shirt—a clause which allows the parties to supersede by private arrangement the words of the Law.
Waiving of Rights.Maimonides, who treats of exemptions in the "Yad," Malweh, iii., says nothing about the debtor's oath as a means of nullifying clauses, either in written or in oral law, made in favor of poor debtors—an oath which the creditor might have forced from him as a condition of the loan. In fact, the creditor may not be allowed to accept such a suicidal fulfilment of the oath, for all standards acknowledge the Scriptural commandment "thou shalt not exact of thy brother" (Deut. xv. 3, Hebr.) as forbidding such harsh measures as well as such pressure as would drive the debtor to encroach on his wife's property.
The standards agree on the treatment of widow debtors. Maimonides (l.c.) says: "Whether a widow be rich or poor you can not take her goods in pledge, either at the time of the loan or by way of execution." This leaves really no way of enforcing a demand against a widow, unless she have real estate or outstanding loans, and the rule, if fully enforced, would have destroyed the credit of widow traders.
The Mishnah gives the measure of a debtor's exemptions in dealing with the demands of the treasurer of the Sanctuary, as shown under Estimate. Here the exemption is based on Lev. xxvii. 8 (Hebr.): "If thy brother bas come down" (become poor), etc. (see 'Ar. 24a).
In ancient Israel every loan was an act of charity. Therefore, if the creditor had taken a garment as a pledge he had to return it before nightfall, whether he had received payment or not (Ex. xxii. 26-27; Deut. xxiv. 13-14). The Talmud (B. M. 14b) explains this to include every article which can not be spared, so that the garment needed during the day must be returned before morning, and the garment needed at night must be returned before nightfall. Similarly, the law which prohibits the taking of a millstone as a pledge (Deut. xxiv. 6) is explained as applicable to every article which is as necessary as a millst one (Sifre, l.c. [ed. Friedmann, p. 123a]). Therefore the creditor should not make any use of the pledge; and he is responsible for its safety, just as every depositary is responsible for things held in trust (Ḥoshen Mishpaṭ, 72).
Medieval Times.The development of money-lending among the Jews as their almost exclusive occupation, which began in the twelfth century, was in all likelihood the consequence of the persecutions during the First Crusade (Höniger, "Zur Gesch. der Juden im Frühern Mittelalter," in "Zeitschrift für Gesch. der Juden in Deutschland," i. 65-97, 136-151); and the laws of pawnbroking became more and more detailed. This is shown by the fact that the charter granted by Henry IV. to the Jews of Speyer and Worms (1084-90) does not mention money-lending as an occupation of the Jews at all, while the charter of Frederick II. of Austria (1244) devotes nine of its thirty sections to the regulation of pawnbroking. This negative evidence is strengthened by the fact that in the ninth century the anti-Jewish writers Agobard and Amulo, who were so bitter in their denunciation of the Jews, are silent on this point. It remains evident, therefore, that loaning money on pledges, as money-lending in general, has been the occupation of the Jews only since the twelfth century, when St. Bernard of Clairvaux condemned the persecution of the Jews, saying that where there were no Jews, Christian usurers acted much worse (Migne, "Patrologia," clxxxii. 567; Aronius, "Regesten," p. 112; Grätz, "Gesch." vi. 166; Stobbe, "Die Juden in Deutschland," p. 107).
The law of Frederick II. of Austria expressly permits Jews to take any article as a pledge, without inquiring into the right of possession of the borrower; the exception to this is that bloody or wet garments may not be accepted, for in such a case suspicion of robbery is reasonable. On the "Privilegium Fridericianum" were based such later laws as that issued by Ottocar II. of Bohemia in 1254, the laws of Bela IV. of Hungary, of the dukes of Silesia and Poland, and a prohibition against lending money on sacred objects—Pope Gregory I. (590-604) and Charlemagne (806) had already declared that such objects should not be sold to Jews. A similar prohibition is found in a law issued by Philip August of France (1206). The rabbinical synods of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries adopted the same law, evidently because of the excuse which the discovery of church articles in a Jewish house would give for riots (Grätz, "Gesch." vi. 199). This principle is often repeated in legislations of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.
Rabbinical Law.In general, legislation concerning the Jews recognized the rabbinical law, even in dealings between Jews and Christians; so a Jew who had advanced money on a stolen article was entitled to recover the amount he had loaned on it, including interest, if he could swear that he did not know it had been stolen. The same held good with regard to stolen property which had been bought. This law is explained by the Talmud as necessitated by the needs of business life (; B. Ḳ. 115a; Ḥoshen Mishpaṭ, 357, 1). Various German laws demanded that the goods must have been delivered in daytime and without any secrecy ("unverhohlen und unverstohlen"). This recognition of the rabbinical law was fiercely condemned by the ecclesiastical authorities—e.g., by the Fourth Lateran Council (1215) and by various diocesan synods—as favoring the Jews at the expense of the Christians, who were compelled by law to return stolen property which they had bought, but without any prospect of indemnity. The "Privilegium Fridericianum" (§ 7), and a great many other laws, freed the Jewish pawnbroker from responsibility in case of the loss of the pledge by fire or robbery, or in any other way. The manner and fact of loss, however, had to be established by oath or through witnesses. This legal enactment is in conflict with the rabbinical law which considers the pawnbroker as a depositary (), i.e., responsible in case of death or theft (Ḥoshen Mishpaṭ, 72, 2).
While the state law in this case is more favorable to the pawnbroker than is the rabbinical law, in regard to the unredeemed pledge it is more favorable to the debtor. The rabbinical law declares that the pledge is forfeited if it is not redeemed on the day the payment falls due (Ḥoshen Mishpaṭ, 73, 13), though some authorities demand that the pledge shall not be sold until thirty days after payment falls due (ib. 3, 14). The "Privilegium Fridericianum" (§ 27), however, demanded that the pledge should be kept one year and one day. This stipulation was adopted in many places up to the fifteenth century.
Special Regulations.The privilege of lending money on pledges carried with it a certain obligation. Thus the Augsburg law declares that every Jewish money-lender is bound to advance money on a pledge to the extent of two-thirds of its value; while the city of Winterthur found it necessary to declare, in a charter of 1340, that a Jew is not liable to punishment if he is unable to lend a Christian the sum demanded (Stobbe, "Die Juden in Deutschland," pp. 113 et seq.). The Strasburg law of 1375 makes it the duty of the Jews to lend money on pledges to any citizen.
In the frequent anti-Jewish riots which occurred from the twelfth to the fifteenth century the mob sacking the houses of the Jews often took the pledges, and, as a rule, the king issued quitclaims after he had received part of the plunder. This was done very frequently by Charles IV., after the Black Death (1348-51). A typical instance is that of Nördlingen. Under these circumstances it is not to be wondered at that Jewish law at that period dealt with the Christian debtor as with anenemy in war. Thus medieval rabbis decided that if a non-Jew loaned to a Jew money on a pledge, and then lost the pledge, and a Jew found it, the latter should return it to the Jewish debtor (Ḥoshen Mishpaṭ, 72, 38). Similarly, the law permits a Jewish creditor to keep the pledge after the death of the Christian debtor, even where its value much exceeds the amount of the debt (ib. 72, 40).
The Jewish concern with pledges is especially connected with the Italian "monte di pietà," pawnshops established by the ecclesiastical authorities in the fifteenth century, in opposition to Jewish money-lenders and for charitable purposes. The name is found also in French ("mont de piété") and in Latin ("mons pietatis"; lit. "mountain of charity"); it Is supposed to have originated from the use of the word "monte" in the sense of "store" or "stock of goods," and especially with regard to banking, in the sense of a pile of coin."
Monte di Pietà.The great change of economic conditions in the fifteenth century in connection with the troubles in the Church created among the mendicant orders an eager desire to bring themselves into prominence. The Franciscans were especially active in promoting schemes for economic improvement. Barnabas of Terni began preaching against money-lenders in Perugia, and succeeded in forming a company of citizens who furnished money for a loan-bank which would lend at a lower rate of interest than that charged by the Jews. This first "mountain of piety" was founded in 1462, and others followed very soon in various cities of Italy; that in Orvicto, 1464, was sanctioned by Pope Sixtus IV. Especially active was the Franciscan Bernardinus of Feltre, who worked for the promotion of the popular pawnshops, chiefly in order to create an opportunity to attack the Jews. The Dominicans, jealous of the success of the Franciscans, opposed this movement, claiming that the exaction of even a low rate of interest was contrary to the Christian law; while the Lateran Council (1512-17) and the Council of Trent (1545-63), as well as various popes, declared for the Franciscans.
But in Rome, which was under the direct government of the pope, such institutions were not organized. While the operations of the loan-banks Interfered with the business of the Jews, they were not able to drive the Jews to abandon money-lending altogether; and therefore a special law was passed by the "signoria" of Venice, in 1547, prohibiting money-lending by Jews in Padua. In Istria, Jews who had lost their business opportunities elsewhere were privileged to conduct loan-banks. So in Pirano, in 1484, where a bank was founded by Moses Sacerdote and three others; it continued is operations until 1634, when a monte di pietà was established and their privilege was withdrawn. In Capo d'Istria, Jewish money-lenders were called upon when the monte di pietà had become bankrupt. In 1611 France introduced the system, but there it had no anti-Jewish purpose. Since the middle of the eighteenth century the restrictions against Jewish money-lenders in Italy have been removed.
In Germany.In the fifteenth century the business of the Jews consisted chiefly in pawnbroking, as Israel Isserlein states ("Terumat ha-Deshen," part i., No. 309). They dealt with all classes of people, even with princes and kings. King Rupert (1403) pawned his silver to Jews (Stobbe, l.c. p. 240); the empress Maria, widow of Maximilian II., pawned her silver to Mordecai Meisel (1578) for 2,000 florins ("Zeit. für Gesch. der Juden in Deutschland," ii. 175). From the fifteenth century on, however, the restriction of money-lending by Jews became the rule. In 1530 and 1544 respectively, the Reichstags of Augsburg and Speyer issued strict regulations in regard to excessive rates of interest and other abuses (See Josel of Rosheim). The Landesordnung for Bohemia, 1579, restricted the money-lending of the Jews to pawnbroking in order to exclude them from banking on a larger scale ("Zeit. für Gesch. der Juden in Deutschland," ii. 173).
The Judenstättigkeit of Frankfort-on-the-Main, 1614, limited the rate of interest for loans on pledges to 8 per cent; the same was done for Fulda in 1615 (ib. iii. 178). How precarious this business was even then is proved by Glückel von Hameln, who tells in her memoirs of an attempt to take a pledge from her father's shop by force. The danger in dealing with creditors of this class evidently induced some medieval rabbis to permit a pawnbroker to redeem a pledge for a creditor on the Sabbath (Oraḥ Ḥayyim, 325, 3).
With the development of the banking business through the court Jews in the seventeenth century, and the gradual concession of economic freedom, pawnbroking among the Jews became rare, and, in fact, in recent times, disreputable (see also Banking).

Case Comprehensive Cancer Center
Comprehensive Cancer Center
Gary K. Schwartz, M.D., Director
Cleveland, Ohio
Main: (216) 368-1122
The Case Comprehensive Cancer Center (Case CCC) at Case Western Reserve University was both founded and became an NCI-designated cancer center in 1987. It was recognized as an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center 11 years later. In 2004, the institutional and membership base from the founding partnership between Case Western Reserve and Ireland Cancer Center of University Hospitals (UH) expanded to include the Cleveland Clinic. Cancer research and care at these three institutions are now unified under the leadership of the Case CCC. In addition, the freestanding cancer hospital at UH, the Jane and Lee Seidman Cancer Center, open in Spring 2011.
The mission of the Case CCC is fourfold. The first goal is to improve the prevention, diagnosis, and therapy of cancer through discovery, evaluation, and dissemination. The second goal is to stimulate and support innovative, coordinated interdisciplinary clinical research on cancer diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and control. The third objective is to develop clinical applications of discovery and make these available to northern Ohio residents as quickly as possible through the integrated efforts of the major health systems in the region. The fourth goal is to develop cancer prevention and control activities that build on the expertise of the Center and result in a reduction of cancer morbidity and mortality in the northern Ohio region and throughout the nation.
The Case CCC is organized into nine interdisciplinary scientific programs that together include more than 350 members across its affiliated institutions. The programs include: cancer genetics; cell death regulation; cancer cell signaling; genitourinary malignancies; normal and neoplastic stem cells; developmental therapeutics; cancer prevention, control, and population research; and aging-cancer research. Cancer imaging, once part of the developmental therapeutics program, is now a separate program in development. Program members work collaboratively within and across all programs on a broad range of topics. These research initiatives extend to local affiliates such as the MetroHealth Medical Center and the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center, as well as to the 13 community medical centers operated by UH and Cleveland Clinic.
Patients benefit from the latest research on understanding and treating cancer. They have access to a full range of services, from basic research information to advanced treatments, psychosocial, and supportive care. Teams of medical professionals design individualized patient care plans. Additionally, patients have access to a wide range of clinical trials.
The Case CCC participates in an active outreach program for clinical practice-based prevention and screening initiatives, educational programs, minority recruitment, and patient referrals. Highlights of the outreach programs include Project Safe Conduct, a collaboration between the Case CCC and the Hospice of the Western Reserve, and Project T.E.M.P.L.E. (Teaching, Educating, Mentoring, Preventing, Learning, and Empowering), a project to assist underserved African American women in greater Cleveland.
The Case CCC offers a full spectrum of training and education programs, ranging from undergraduate programs through medical school to postdoctoral opportunities. Both clinical and research training is offered to residents and clinical fellows.

ASUS Zenbook UX21 First Results: MBA-Like Battery Life Under Windows 7
by Anand Lal Shimpi on October 18, 2011 4:27 PM ESTFedEx dropped off our first Ultrabook this morning: the beautiful 11.6-inch ASUS Zenbook UX21E-DH71. We just got the first battery life results out of the machine and, as expected, they are near-identical to the 11-inch MacBook Air under Windows 7. Given the similarity in platform and identical battery capacities, similar results here aren't surprising. The fact that there aren't any surprises is a very good thing as it means ASUS' default configuration doesn't include a bunch of battery-taxing bloatware. We'll be running more tests over the coming days of course but it never hurts to have an early look:
Performance is also in-line with expectations. The model we have features a 128GB SF-2281 (SandForce) based SSD and a faster CPU than the base 11-inch MacBook Air model giving it the edge in PCMark 7. Although the system is configured to sleep rather than shut down by default, a full boot from scratch (not hibernate/STR) takes only 16.7 seconds. That's actually in-line with how long an 11-inch MBA takes to get into OS X (17.2s). Very impressive indeed.
The machine feels extremely well built and is quite snappy thanks to its Sandy Bridge + SSD combo. More details soon!

I've got 1200 bucks to spend. As soon as anyone of you builds an Ultrabook with a matte high-res screen, I'll happily give you my money. -
DanNeely - Tuesday, October 18, 2011 - link
Does 1600x900 count? Someone, IIRC ASUS is selling 13" models with that resolution.
I wouldn't hold my breath for 1080p; OS DPI scaling just has too many problems for it to be viable beyond a very small niche of users. -
amdwilliam1985 - Tuesday, October 18, 2011 - link
Is the screen with a black bezel?
Why would they make a silver laptop with black bezel? -
tipoo - Tuesday, October 18, 2011 - link
Less distracting while watching fullscreen video IMO. I like it. -
michael2k - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - link
Because that's what Apple did? -
frozentundra123456 - Tuesday, October 18, 2011 - link
Be very interested to see how this compares in performance to the dm1z, which I saw at Best Buy and thought it was quite an attractive package, and must cost about half of the Asus model. -
welshy992 - Tuesday, October 18, 2011 - link
you can see the difference above, the e-350 in the MSI x370 is the same as the e-350 in the hp dm1z -
FlyBri - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - link
The dm1z is about half the cost of the Zenbook, and also 1/5 the laptop that the Zenbook is. The dm1z is a step above a netbook, where the Zenbook is a full-fledged true laptop with a core i5 processor, way better build quality with better materials, etc. etc. -

Uhh, so what is Flash :-) And you are aware that Flash is not included by default on MBA? -
Solidstate89 - Tuesday, October 18, 2011 - link
It's been proven time and time again that Flash uses less resources than HTML5video. Especially under Windows where they have full access to HWA instead of being restricted to the APIs they can use like in OS X.

Quick Facts:
- % Contribution to GDP: 7.2 (2001)
- Fishing Area: EEZ (169840 km2); Shelf (9800 km2)
- Fishermen: 3000-4000 (about 60% belong to fishermen's cooperatives)
- Landing sites: 11
- Fish Imports: 75 MT/0.096 US $ M (2001)
- Fish Exports: 518 MT/9.0 US$ M (2001)
- Fish vendors/hawkers: 50
- Fish processors: 2 (Northern and National Fishermen's Cooperatives)
- Importers: 3 or 4 (Est.)
- Exporters: 10
- The shelf area is a complex system consisting of the largest barrier reef in the Atlantic (220 m in length), three offshore atolls- (Lighthouse Reef which contains the Blue Hole, the Turneffe Islands and Glovers Reef), patch reefs, seagrass beds, several hundred cayes of sand and mangrove, extensive mangrove forests, coastal lagoons and estuaries. Total area fished is estimated to be about 4700 km2 within a depth range of 1.5-10 m2.
- Note: The composition of the fishing fleet refers to active commercial fishing vessels, as opposed to subsistence fishing. Open boats are made of either wood or fibreglass, 4.3-7.6 m in length, propelled by outboard engines primarily for lobster trapping. Sloops are mostly wooden vessels up to 10 m in length, equipped with sails and smaller auxiliary outboard engines primarily for free diving for lobster, conch and occasionally finfish. Large dug-out canoes are used in southern regions, and are equipped with small engines and oars, primarily for fishing finfish using handlines or nets. Foreign shrimp trawlers of the standard Mexican Gulf type operate as joint ventures with fishing cooperatives.
- Major landing sites (from North to South) are located at Corozal Town, Belize City, San Pedro on Ambergris Cay, Caye Caulker, Danriga, Placencia and Punta Gorda.
- Shrimp mariculture accounted for approximately US$6.0 M and 2,000 MT in 1995 which was more than the total landed value of all fisheries combined.

Whoa Nellie, talk about givin' your TV remote a work out. As this weekend saw a plethora of racing action. Specifically from two of my favourite North American road circuits. As in real bonified permanent road courses with storied histories. Being the two venerable tracks Watkins Glen and Road America.
And yeah, I know that The Glen was host to the Roundy Round boyzs this weekend, but how could I resist a sneak peak at a bunch 'O road racin' ringers… Having first watched the entire Grand Am Daytona Prototype race Friday night. Then I followed this up by checking' out portions of the Busch Series race at The Glen, before watchin' the entire Indy Car yawner at Sparta, KC on Saturday. (Hey, where's Milka?)
And is it just me… But I found it a bit entertaining that the Champ Car race was live on ABC, err ESPN on ABC. While the Nexxtell Cup boyzs were on ESPN. But how many people do you think were actually watching ABC today?
I found myself having to watch SPEED's most excellent show Victory by Design over the RASSCAR pre-amble prior to Champ Car taking the green flag.
Apparently this was a new episode of Victory by Design, since it was titled, Grand Prix Greats. So I'm kinda bummed I missed the first 45+ minutes of it. (Re-Air Sat, Aug 18: 1PM Pacific)
And although I watched the entire Champ Car race… What a snoozer it was! But hey, the Rumble at the Glen was Red Flagged for some slippery liquids on track. So it went past the Champ Car time slot. Ok, time to put down the remote…

Listen to this CNN interview with an eyewitness to the Baharestan Square Massacre. If it does not freeze your blood, you are no longer part of any community of human feeling I can recognize.
I am, as of now, DONE with people who say we shouldn't "impose American values" or "promote democracy" in the Middle East. They are morally bankrupt. As of 24 June 2009 they have slip-slid into the category of apologists for genocide.
That woman is shattered. She has witnessed atrocities no human being should even have to imagine, let alone watch being wreaked on their friends and neighbors and countrymen. She is pleading with us, screaming for the world to intervene.
Will we flagellate ourselves over our imagined sins, or act? This is cause for war – not on behalf of the U.S.'s particular interests, but on behalf of all humanity against a cabal of tyrants and butchers unequaled in evil since Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia.
To know of this degree of radical evil, and have the power to act against it but fail to do so, is to become accomplice to the evil. The time for the overthrow of the Iranian regime, by any feasible means up to and including full-scale war, has come.
Free Iran!

Yellow Ocher Light 5kg
Our French ocher is from the ocher deposits in the French quarries of Gargas and Rustrel nestled in a 12 mile long enclave in the heart of the Luberon Massif, the ocher country. Ocher is a symphony of colors ranging from pale yellow through the orange range to an intense red. It has two major characteristics: it never fades in daylight and the color is highly concentrated.
Pigment Names | |
Common Names: | English: yellow ocher light French: ocre jaune clair German: Ocker klar gelb Italian: ocra giallo chiaro Russian: охра светлая желтая Spanish: ocre amarillo claro |
Synonyms: | Goethite, limonite, raw sienna, yellow earth, yellow ocher, yellow iron oxide, yellow hydrated oxide and iron hydroxide pigment |
Alternate Name: | Mars yellow is the name given to the synthetic form of yellow iron oxide hydroxide. |
Origin and History
Known since the antiquity, ocher (okhra, Greek) occurs naturally as yellow ocher (limonite) or as red ocher (hematite). Ocher has been used as a pigment since prehistoric times and is perhaps the most widely used pigment for artists paints.
Yellow ocher is a natural earth containing clay tinted by hydrous forms of iron oxide, such as goethite, and traces of gypsum or manganese carbonate. Historically, yellow ocher was designated by the mineral name limonite. Limonite, however, is not a true mineral, but a general term used to describe all forms of hydrated iron oxide minerals (α-FeOOH) that occur as natural earth. Limonite includes the minerals goethite, akaganeite and lepidocrocite. To be considered an ocher, the content of iron oxide must not be less than 12% with varying amounts of kaolin and quartz. Depending upon the content of hydrated iron oxide, the color of ocher varies from light yellow to golden. Like red iron oxides (hematite), they are found around the world and have been used as pigments since prehistory. French ocher, historically one of the best grades of ocher, contains about 20% iron oxide and is high in silica.
Ocher grades into sienna, a yellow-brown pigment containing a higher percentage of iron ore than ocher as well as some manganese dioxide. Sienna grades into umber, which is darker brown and contains a higher percentage of manganese dioxide. Burnt sienna is brown or bright red, burnt umber is a darker brown than umber.
Ocher is not naturally usable as a pigment and therefore needs to undergo several important processes, such as:
- Extract ore from the quarries.
- Separate ocher from sand using water and centripetal force.
- Blend different ocher extracted from diverse veins to obtain the selected colors.
- Grind to 50 microns and pack.
Permanence and Compatibility
Ocher is among the most permanent colors among the artist's palette. It is compatible with all other pigments, and can be used with good results in all mediums.
Oil Absorption and Grinding
Ocher absorbs a moderately high amount of oil. The oil absorption ratio is 30–35 parts by weight of linseed oil to 100 parts by weight of pigment. If the measurement were grams, this pigment would require 30-35 grams of pigment to grind 100 grams of linseed oil to form a stiff paste. It slows the drying of oil paint, but forms a good film.
Ocher is not considered toxic, but care should be used in handling the dry powder pigment to avoid inhaling the dust.

$ oc get dnses.config.openshift.io/cluster -o yaml
After you install an OKD version 4.8 cluster, you can set some of its core components to be private.
By default, OKD is provisioned using publicly-accessible DNS and endpoints. You can set the DNS, Ingress Controller, and API server to private after you deploy your private cluster.
If the cluster has any public subnets, load balancer services created by administrators might be publicly accessible. To ensure cluster security, verify that these services are explicitly annotated as private. |
If you install OKD on installer-provisioned infrastructure, the installation program creates records in a pre-existing public zone and, where possible, creates a private zone for the cluster's own DNS resolution. In both the public zone and the private zone, the installation program or cluster creates DNS entries for *.apps
, for the Ingress
object, and api
, for the API server.
The *.apps
records in the public and private zone are identical, so when you delete the public zone, the private zone seamlessly provides all DNS resolution for the cluster.
Because the default Ingress
object is created as public, the load balancer is internet-facing and in the public subnets. You can replace the default Ingress Controller with an internal one.
By default, the installation program creates appropriate network load balancers for the API server to use for both internal and external traffic.
On Amazon Web Services (AWS), separate public and private load balancers are created. The load balancers are identical except that an additional port is available on the internal one for use within the cluster. Although the installation program automatically creates or destroys the load balancer based on API server requirements, the cluster does not manage or maintain them. As long as you preserve the cluster's access to the API server, you can manually modify or move the load balancers. For the public load balancer, port 6443 is open and the health check is configured for HTTPS against the /readyz
On Google Cloud Platform, a single load balancer is created to manage both internal and external API traffic, so you do not need to modify the load balancer.
On Microsoft Azure, both public and private load balancers are created. However, because of limitations in current implementation, you just retain both load balancers in a private cluster.
After you deploy a cluster, you can modify its DNS to use only a private zone.
Review the DNS
custom resource for your cluster:
$ oc get dnses.config.openshift.io/cluster -o yaml
apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1
kind: DNS
creationTimestamp: "2019-10-25T18:27:09Z"
generation: 2
name: cluster
resourceVersion: "37966"
selfLink: /apis/config.openshift.io/v1/dnses/cluster
uid: 0e714746-f755-11f9-9cb1-02ff55d8f976
baseDomain: <base_domain>
Name: <infrastructure_id>-int
kubernetes.io/cluster/<infrastructure_id>: owned
id: Z2XXXXXXXXXXA4
status: {}
Note that the spec
section contains both a private and a public zone.
Patch the DNS
custom resource to remove the public zone:
$ oc patch dnses.config.openshift.io/cluster --type=merge --patch='{"spec": {"publicZone": null}}'
dns.config.openshift.io/cluster patched
Because the Ingress Controller consults the DNS
definition when it creates Ingress
objects, when you create or modify Ingress
objects, only private records are created.
DNS records for the existing Ingress objects are not modified when you remove the public zone. |
Optional: Review the DNS
custom resource for your cluster and confirm that the public zone was removed:
$ oc get dnses.config.openshift.io/cluster -o yaml
apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1
kind: DNS
creationTimestamp: "2019-10-25T18:27:09Z"
generation: 2
name: cluster
resourceVersion: "37966"
selfLink: /apis/config.openshift.io/v1/dnses/cluster
uid: 0e714746-f755-11f9-9cb1-02ff55d8f976
baseDomain: <base_domain>
Name: <infrastructure_id>-int
kubernetes.io/cluster/<infrastructure_id>-wfpg4: owned
status: {}
After you deploy a cluster, you can modify its Ingress Controller to use only a private zone.
Modify the default Ingress Controller to use only an internal endpoint:
$ oc replace --force --wait --filename - <<EOF
apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1
kind: IngressController
namespace: openshift-ingress-operator
name: default
type: LoadBalancerService
scope: Internal
ingresscontroller.operator.openshift.io "default" deleted
ingresscontroller.operator.openshift.io/default replaced
The public DNS entry is removed, and the private zone entry is updated.
After you deploy a cluster to Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Microsoft Azure, you can reconfigure the API server to use only the private zone.
Install the OpenShift CLI (oc
Have access to the web console as a user with admin
In the web portal or console for AWS or Azure, take the following actions:
Locate and delete appropriate load balancer component.
For AWS, delete the external load balancer. The API DNS entry in the private zone already points to the internal load balancer, which uses an identical configuration, so you do not need to modify the internal load balancer.
For Azure, delete the api-internal
rule for the load balancer.
Delete the api.$clustername.$yourdomain
DNS entry in the public zone.
Remove the external load balancers:
You can run the following steps only for an installer-provisioned infrastructure (IPI) cluster. For a user-provisioned infrastructure (UPI) cluster, you must manually remove or disable the external load balancers. |
From your terminal, list the cluster machines:
$ oc get machine -n openshift-machine-api
lk4pj-master-0 running m4.xlarge us-east-1 us-east-1a 17m
lk4pj-master-1 running m4.xlarge us-east-1 us-east-1b 17m
lk4pj-master-2 running m4.xlarge us-east-1 us-east-1a 17m
lk4pj-worker-us-east-1a-5fzfj running m4.xlarge us-east-1 us-east-1a 15m
lk4pj-worker-us-east-1a-vbghs running m4.xlarge us-east-1 us-east-1a 15m
lk4pj-worker-us-east-1b-zgpzg running m4.xlarge us-east-1 us-east-1b 15m
You modify the control plane machines, which contain master
in the name, in the following step.
Remove the external load balancer from each control plane machine.
Edit a control plane Machine
object to remove the reference to the external load balancer:
$ oc edit machines -n openshift-machine-api <master_name> (1)
1 | Specify the name of the control plane, or master, Machine object to modify. |
Remove the lines that describe the external load balancer, which are marked in the following example, and save and exit the object specification:
- name: lk4pj-ext (1)
type: network (1)
- name: lk4pj-int
type: network
1 | Delete this line. |
Repeat this process for each of the machines that contains master
in the name.

Conmy Hall, the historic events space in Fort Myer, Virginia, was built in 1934 as an indoor equestrian facility. Used by General George Patton, it was converted into a gymnasium as the mounted cavalry was phased out, and later changed into an indoor ceremonial area for the United States Government. And in 2019, it underwent another transformation with the addition of a massive 144-foot by 14-foot Christie CorePlus LED wall. The renovation, spearheaded by The Bridge Group and integrated and installed by Quince Imaging, included a Christie Spyder X80 image processor and a suite of Christie Pandoras Box content management solutions.
Conmy Hall is now the U.S. Army's principal performance center, used for Presidential functions and military ceremonies, as well as hosting multi-agency briefings and strategy sessions. The hall, which seats 1200, also hosts U.S. Army band concerts and productions by the Military District of Washington, both of which are open to the public.
Prior to the renovation, the space used two projection screens and large, vinyl-printed maps for multi-agency briefings and strategy sessions. "The equipment and processes became inadequate given the expanding needs and advancements in technology," says Cathy Arevian, CEO & Managing Director, The Bridge Group. "After conducting several events using large format rental equipment and projection, it became clear that the versatility available using this equipment was worth the investment."
In 2015 the project began, and various technology and configurations were considered. "We knew It had to be state-of-the-art, and configurable to meet the changing needs of the space," says Scott Williams, COO, CFO and Co-Founder, Quince Imaging.
The Bridge Group, Quince Imaging, and project manager VCB Events LLC designed and installed a massive 144-foot by 14-foot, 12-million- pixel, Christie CorePlus LED video wall that spans the length of the Hall. "The age and limited structural documentation of the roof strength dictated a system design that was almost entirely ground supported," says Arevian.
The wall is divided into three sections: a center 26-foot array, with a 61-foot array on each side. "The center array is suspended on a trolley that allows it to independently move four feet downstage. The center screen delivers a perfect 16x9 image and allows for a mid-wall backstage entrance on each side of the screen," says Arevian. This unique 25-foot, built-in "doorway" is automated, and can be retracted with the push of a button.
Christie Pandoras Box and Spyder X80 manage 12 million pixels
Managing the Christie CorePlus LED wall are two Christie Pandoras Box servers and one Pandoras Box manager. Says Williams, "Pandoras Box is managing the uber-wide, 12-million-pixel wall. It also manages the buttons, and houses the wireframes and templates, so a user can easily select one of a dozen looks for the wall. We used Pandoras Box Widget Designer to configure these solutions."
"We have a long history of success with Pandoras Box," adds Williams. "Every sports installation that we've done since 2013, that we're known for, has been a Pandoras Box system. We can easily manage them remotely and the users understand the workflow. It's proven to be a robust broadcast, workflow solution. Why would we ever consider anything else that has worked flawlessly in all of our installations?"
Christie Spyder X80, a powerful multi-windowing processor that can manage up to 80 million pixels, manages the inputs from Pandoras Box, the output to the LED wall, as well as sending return feeds to HD broadcast trucks as needed. "We chose Spyder X80 because of the massive resolution of the wall. It also manages other displays around the facility, as well as camera inputs. The Army has a HD truck that comes in on short notice, and they wanted a plug-in solution to augment the production capabilities in the building."
With Christie Pandoras Box and Spyder X80, Conmy Hall has a versatile system, with a three-tiered operating capability, says Arevian, to meet the changing needs of the venue. The first tier is a simple, push-button system to produce different screen configurations using in-house resources. The second tier is a more complicated show, using custom show cues, like a Presidential visit. Lastly, an advanced Pandoras Box and Spyder X80 operator could program the system to deliver a custom, spectacular show, like a Presidential Inauguration.
"One of the major advantages is that the system is designed so that a large amount of programming can be done remotely, using cameras set specifically to allow a remote view of the video display. Remote access also enables last-minute troubleshooting of the display," says Arevian.
The Bridge Group and Quince Imaging deliver a stunning installation
"The result is a magnificent, completely configurable, and versatile LED display that delivers and immersive experience, and provides an amazing backdrop for the military ceremonies," says Arevian. "The client is impressed with the clarity and sharpness of the images and the ability to have many standard templates pre-programmed and ready to go at a moment's notice."
"The customer is elated," says Williams. "And we're subsequently part of a team providing ongoing services and support. They're very pleased."
"Quince Imaging and The Bridge Group have designed and installed an incredible solution that will serve Conmy Hall and the US Army well for many years to come," says Jon Litt, senior manager, Christie Government Solutions. "We are so proud and honored to have Christie solutions included at this historic site and to be able to be used for such significant events."

Designed in collaboration with a world-class tent designer, the concept of Work Tents is rooted in the human desire to seek shelter and protection from natural elements. Recreational tents provide safety and a haven of security in uncertain outdoor conditions, and now Work Tents provide people in the office with the same shelter and protection they crave. With tensile construction at the core of the design, Work Tents pair light and airy organic shapes with tent-like and sheer textiles to create a range of flexible and captivating privacy solutions. Steelcase Work Tents challenge conventional privacy solutions by offering a novel and compelling way for people to work.
Work Tents provide shelter and protection to people at work from common distractions such as noise, stress and other people. From simple screens to open enclosures, Work Tents give people options for how they want to work – and what level of privacy they need – allowing them to stay focused and productive.
Work Tents are lightweight and quickly deployable to create different levels of privacy in the open office. Compatible with existing furniture, Work Tents are easy to drop into any space giving people control to choose their desired amount of privacy. Reconfigurable by facilities managers as needed, they allow the workplace to easily adapt to changing conditions and needs.

Okay, here we go: no 'best of list' but a completely subjective round-up of the comics I enjoyed most in 2013. Of course, I've not read every comic produced in 2013- March, The Encyclopedia of Early Earth and Boxers and Saints being some notable books I've yet to get round to, but then who has? I've reviewed quite a few of these books and talked about them in other pieces and places, so apologies if some of this sounds familiar. Where I have reviewed something, I've linked to it via the title- just click to read more about it if interested.
Can we start with James Stokoe's Godzilla? I don't issue read, so I picked this up when the trade came out in July after months of both hearing buzz and simultaneously trying to avoid it, in an attempt to retain as much of the experience for that first encounter. The danger with hyped books is heightened expectations and the worry of being let down, but Godzilla is bloody amazing. I'd never read a Stokoe book before, apart from the odd short comic here and there (first issue of Orc Stain, the Silver Surfer story for Strange Tales), and the full brilliance of his hyper detailed, gradient happy art is on display on every page here. Half Century War spans over 50 years, tracing Godzilla's first appearance through to a world reduced to a passive audience as monsters battle around them.
I can quite clearly recall my excitement when Stephen Collins The Gigantic Beard that was Evil came through the post last summer. Collins, a cartoonist for The Guardian, produced an immensely assured debut, experimenting with panels, compositon and layouts, and combining wit, brevity, whimsy and metaphor. The tale of a spotless, tidy and clean-shaven utopia, in which one man suddenly sprouts a huge, uncontrollable, constantly growing beard, it bought to mind Roald Dahl and Raymond Briggs. I started work in a comic book store last year and it also demonstrated how effective a good title can be- people would look at it, read it and buy it on the strength of that alone.
It's easy to forget about anthologies in these sort of lists, sometimes, as they're not tied to one specific person. The Nobrow anthology can generally be relied upon to gather quality artists for some cool comics and groegous spreads, but volume 8, Hysteria, excelled itself- there were great comics from Zack Soto, Dustin Harbin, Dilraj Mann and illustrations from Sam Bosma, Rebecca Dart and a whole load more. They can be a bit hit and miss, but the last two volumees have been superb and are well worth picking up. Along with kus komiks s!, Nobrow's anthology is currently the best showcase for a taste of what comics can encompass, providing an entry-point into a smorgasbord of styles and approaches and always a good way to make yourself familiar with new creators.
Another anthology that stood out in 2013 was Tiny Pencil, a new all-graphite art and comics compilation, edited by Katriona Chapman and Amber Hsu. The first volume of Tiny Pencil debuted at a time when everything I was reading wasn't bad, but getting a bit samey- and then Tiny Pencil came along and it just felt completly fresh- free of artifice and encumberment, with stunning pencilled visuals. Hsu and Chapman were unafraid to experiment too, following up that first volume with a special summer edition: 3 mini zines in a exquisitely designed box, complete with dice and colouring pencils, with the third returning to the more traditional A4 format. The debut and subsequent books are all the more impressive when you think of how formed the identity and concept of Tiny Pencil feels in such a short space of time. Very much looking forward to what they come up with this year.
I'd be interested to read how many of the books featured on 'best of' lists are released in the second half of the year. That said, I don't remember reading much at all on Graham Chaffee's Good Dog. Released in April from Fantagraphics, it's a beautifully understated treatise on belonging and finding your place. It can be difficult to find nuance in animal stand-in tale, with people often going cutesy or the acute opposite, but Chaffee manages to find a line that's at once human and animalistic, producing the most real book I read all year.
Another trade collection that came out in early 2013 was Steve Parkhouse and Pete Hogan's Resident Alien from Dark Horse. I can't quite articulate how much I loved this: an unshowy, solid story of an alien disguised as a human, living peacefully on Earth after his ship crashes, and forced out of his quiet existence on the outskirts of a small town when a murder takes place. Simply very fine storytelling. I'm so glad they're doing another series.
MIND MGMT by Matt Kindt was the second Dark Horse collection that took me completely by surprise. A tale of espionage, government conspiracies, and paranormal abilities, it shared a few thematic similarities with another Kindt book that also makes my list: Red Handed from First Second. The latter is seated more in the crime genre- an epic this how it was pulled off tale, but the twisty turny narrative strands, the various narrators who you may or not be able to trust were again present, with Kindt's watercolours a perfect foil to his unreliable tales of forgetting and re-writing.
My knowledge of Singaporean comics is very thin, so when Singaporean publishers Epigram Books announced a comics line to be released in English, it was a very appealing entry-point. The roster was great, but the 2 books that stood out were editorial cartoonist and journalist Miel's Scenegapore, a succinct, informative, and humorous sojourn through the country's history and landscape and Drewscape's (aka Andrew Tan) Monsters, Miracles and Mayonnaise, a collection of his comics work over the years, from autobiographical strips to sci-fi and fantasy work. It was incredibly pleasing to see Tan's talents recognised by an Eisner nomination.
Monster on the Hill by Rob Harrell was a fantastic all-ages story from Top Shelf. I hate reading comics on a screen, particularly those that aren't created specifically for the platform, i.e. review copies for print books, so taking that into account, I was about halfway through a PDF of Rob Harrells' debut before I noticed I was smiling like an idiot and had been doing since the opening pages. Fun, silly, heartfelt, and serious, with Harrell's wonderful cartooning bringing it all together. If you're looking for a great kid's comic, it doesn't get much better than this.
It seems every 'best of' roundup or list featured a Sam Alden comic, and I'm afraid this one is no different. There were a few to choose from- Household, Hawaii 1999, The Worm Troll, Patron Saint, but the one that resonated with me was the pencilled Backyard, in which a group of housemates carry on uninterestedly while one of them regresses to a disturbing degree.
It's difficult for me to comprehend that a Chrsitophe Blain book went under-apreciated, but that's what happened with In the Kitchen with Alain Passard. Not sure whether that was comic-book-released-by-large-book-publisher syndrome, but Blain's docu-comic/interview with the thrice starred Michelin chef was accessible, entertaining and visually interesting: border-less, white backgrounds and more text bubbles then you could shake a stick at, as well as the inclusion of 15 recipes. The dialogue between Blain and Passard is lovely, too- witty, engaging, indicative of each's character. Something which was tonally very similar to In the Kitchen was Etienne Davodeau's The Initiates, where Davodeau and his vintner friend swap places, with each learning abut the other's profession. There's a highlight of a cameo page in there by Lewis Trondheim, who steps in to explain things when Richard questions why he draws himself as a bird.
I didn't get around to picking up Greg Ruth's The Lost Boy, but I did buy his collaboration with Steve Niles, Freaks of the Heartland. It's a perfect example of the unique kind of magic that comics can weave; Nile's story of a small town birthing monstrously misshapen children and locking them away is simple enough, but it's Ruth's sumptuous, evocative art that elevates it, imbues it with nuance and emotion and remains with you after it's all over.
Laura Park's mini-comic with Uncivilised Books, Do Not Disturb My Waking Dream, debuted at Autoptic, and was available to purchase online shortly afterwards. Parks uses the format fully, giving the reader scenic full page spreads in one instance and then placing a 9-panel grid in the center of the next. Her autobiographical strips and observations are funny and honest and make for a very satisfying slice of comicking.
Thien Pham's Sumo, in which a college football player decides to travel to Japan to become a sumo wrestler after his plans fall through, has a lovely pared back approach with beautiful clean art- it didn't get much attention and it deserved some. It's not an obvious, flashy book, and sure, it's a familiar plotline but Pham infuses it with his own perspective, avoiding cliche.
Anyone who's read some of my writing knows I'm the driver of the Julia Gfrorer bandwagon. Her Black is the Colour, originally serialised on Study Group Comics, was released from Fantagraphics, with a lovely thick, grainy cover and paper. Featuring Gfroer's signature mix of mythic, supernatural elements to throw into relief the very human facets of her characters, it's also one of the finest mermaid iterations you'll read.
Darwyn Cooke's Parker: Slaygound released in the tail-end of 2013, as is becoming tradition and for me, it was an improvement on the last, which was a busier affair. Slayground is a tighter, leaner affair, with anti-hero thief Parker operating alone once more, with Cook's art fitting the retro- gangster tale like a glove. And it also had a nice fold-out spread; a map of the theme park Parker finds himself trapped in. I like those kind of little additions.
Drowntown by Robbie Morrison and Jim Murray ticked all my boxes: sci-fi, crime, anthropomorphic characters, oddball PI'S, but at the rate it was selling at the shop, that wasn't a completely subjective preference. Jim Murrays' art is astonishing here, really bold and hulking with character and personality (seriously, click on that image to see it bigger). Set in a flooded London of the furture, with the big money in animal-human hybrid experiments and DNA science, it's an intriguing mystery- the first part of 3 books, but appreciable on its own.
I managed to squeeze in Thomas Wellmann's first major Englsih language work, Pimo and Rex, in before writing this, after finally getting my hands on a copy at Thought Bubble. German publishers Rotopol Press teamed up with Blank Slate Books to give this a simultaneous German and English release (I don't know the logistics of that, but it'd be cool to see more people try it), and it contains some of the most wonderfully coloured art I've seen in comics all year. It's a zany adventure very much in the Trondheim tradition, but just click through that link to see Wellmann's cartooning- you won't regret it.
2013 was the year I discovered Swedish comics publishing outfit, Peow! Studio. Run by 3 talented artists and comics creators, all their publications are worth a look-see, though my favourite thing that they released was Nava, a beautifully understated tale combining myth and fantasy, drawn to sublime effect by Olle Forsloff. The most impressive thing about Nava was the various beats and tones that Lopez and Forsloff managed to achieve- the seamless transition from one act to another- meditative to adventurous. Very much looking forward to that second installment.
A self-published work that I loved was Isaac Lenkiewicz's Dead Cats of Plum Street. Everything about Plum Street was simply on-point- the fine-lined brush work, the cartooning, the coolest 3 girls you'll meet. Lenkiewicz mixes together a bit of silliness and witchiness, whilst giving his story serious attention and it works. This was without doubt one of the best things I read all year.
Ines Estrada's mini kus, Borrowed Tails, was a fab showcase of her work. Her colouring always stands out to me- mainly because I've not seen anyone else achieve the effects she does with her watercolours, but she's a fantastic cartoonist all round.
You can easily tell the standout web-comics by the rapidness with which they're shared via social media: the ever-brilliant Emily Carroll' deliver another interactive horror masterpiece with Out of Skin seemingly the only thing people talked about for a week in my Twitter and Tumblr feeds. The same thing happened with Pat Grant's Tooriyama, a superb comic which recounted his relationship with his father from childhood to adulthood. Boulet was again king, with animated comics, endlessly scrolling comics, pirate stories, fairy tales, travel diaries, fine art mixed with photos- anything you could think of, he did.
And I'm going to finish with AP Quach's and Max Landis' comic, Boy's Night, which sees a middle-aged Mickey, Pluto and Donald go clubbing and meditate on the course of their lives. Amusing, melancholy, and yet weirdly affirming. Here's to another year of the crazy world of comics.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – A northern New Jersey man who strangled his wife and stuffed her body in a 55-gallon drum has been sentenced to 22 years in prison.
Hudson County prosecutors say 40-year-old Steven Acuna killed his 32-year-old wife, Randy "Amanda" Lehrer, after a fight at their Jersey City Heights home in August 2011.
Authorities have said Acuna filled the 55-gallon drum with cement after he put Lehrer's body inside. The following month, investigators found the drum in the basement of the building where the couple lived.
Acuna pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter in October.
The couple had a daughter who is now 3 years old.
