The Focus Gallery at the Cleveland Museum of Art, a space intended to highlight specific works in the institution's permanent collection, has new namesakes: Larry and Julia Pollock of Shaker Heights.
The Pollocks have donated $1 million to the museum's $350 million capital campaign, which is paying for the massive expansion and renovation due for completion in December.
In recognition, the museum named the new gallery for the Pollocks.
"Both of us have always focused on in philanthropic causes and institutions that are innovative and relevant," said Pollock, the managing partner of Lucky Stars Partners LLC, a private investment firm, and the former president and CEO of Cole National Corp.
The museum has raised $256 million so far in its campaign, or nearly three quarters of what it needs. It has called the expansion and renovation the largest cultural project in Ohio history.
Pollock serves on the the Board of Directors of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation and the Cleveland Foundation. He is also a trustee of organizations including The Musical Arts Association, the parent organization of the Cleveland Orchestra; and IdeaStream, which operates WVIZ / PBS and 90.3 WCPN.
Julia Pollock serves on the Board of Trustees of the Cleveland Art Museum and Cleveland Rock & Roll, Inc., which runs the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; and the Arts & Medicine Board of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation.
David Franklin, the museum's director, praised the Pollocks for supporting the Focus Gallery, which he said is "something I really pushed for."
The Focus Gallery, located off the museum's big new atrium, can be experienced as part of Gallery One, the nationally-acclaimed educational space accessible from the atrium and the museum's North Lobby, or as a separate and discrete space.
Occasional shows in the gallery will be accompanied by catalogues that will explore a specific work in the collection in depth.
The Focus Gallery is currently featuring an exhibition on Tantra imagery in Buddhist art. A show on the museum's controversial ancient bronze statue of Apollo Sauroktonos will open in the gallery on Sunday, Sept. 29.
"The philosophy behind focus is to have a single object highlighted," Franklin said. "It could be just one work on its own."

To remain an exciting, fun, fresh, quirky brand, YO! Sushi wanted to use digital to revitalise their quirky customer experience with intriguing brand comms.
Our sister brand Music Concierge was already curating the store sound for the sushi brand, and we wanted to make the digital experience equally full of personality to match YO!'s unique positioning.
The brand prides itself on the presentation of its food, so we developed concepts to bring the menu artwork to life through evocative video. In the spirit of the brand's modern Japanese heritage, we proposed using quirky, animation-style 'kaiwaii girls' motion graphics for in-store screens to showcase their hero menu items, bringing personality and energy onto the screens in a fresh and engaging way, while remaining faithful to the brand's unique look and feel. We built in the functionality to reskin the screens to promote Blue Mondays, when all plates are blue, with cheaper prices are aimed at students.
We proposed linking the video to the brand's new musicscape for a more dynamic experience, interspersing graphics with current Japanese pop music videos and building in cool functionality: live Twitterfeeds, and the ability to take selfies and post them on YO! screens all over the world.
The digital menu walls exactly captured the brand feel, and we're continuing to work with YO!'s in-house marketing team to develop a bigger strategy for digital and social at the heart of the in-store experience – and put the brand firmly on the map as a digital innovator.
"We love the creative freedom working on such a dynamic, vibrant brand."

Excellent quality and service.
I looked long and hard to find a place that sold edible rose petals. These did not disappoint! The colours were varied and beautiful. I sugared them, and they were a fantastic addition to my cupcakes. Everyone loved them!
Lovely product, looked really pretty on the plates
Hi - I just want to commend you on your great service. I placed an order for edible flowers yesterday lunchtime and they arrived with my post lady at lunchtime today. I cannot thank you enough for the really speedy delivery. I have yet to try them in my baking but will be doing so very soon. Also I will order some extracts next time as I may go a bit adventarous and some bits and bobs. Love and laughter always Karen

Knowing the size of these petals would have been handy as they were too large for what I had planned. Beautiful colours though.
These are real rose petals so there is always a mix of sizes - usually 2x2 to 4x4cm ..... so the small red rose petals (around 1x1cm) that you also bought were what you really needed.

This scene stands at #17 on the list.
There are several climaxes from the different versions of this familiar story I could have chosen from, including the French version, SINS OF POMPEII, which is equally excellent but this one edged it out. This also edged out other climactic destruction scenes from other films like the one in THE COLOSSUS OF RHODES. Briefs shots or entire scenes from this film were re-used in other PEPLUM films, including shots of the erupting volcano.

Everyone's toes must be out at this party so those feet can get some pampering. Spice up some cheap flip flops with a glue gun and cute embellishments like flowers, jewels, or even pieces of towel cut to fit on the straps. These are sure to be new favorite accessory long after the party.

Facials, Manis, Pedis oh my! This little retreat may make even the moms a little jealous. If you don't have enough adult volunteers to act as spa employees, just allow the girls to do the mani/pedi on each other. While they let their toes dry, the girls can do their own facials..Just watch the toes!!

A simple chocolate facial would be chocolate syrup poured into little cute containers. To add the exfoliating factor, just add some sugar. The chocolate facial, paired with two cucumbers, will revitalize the faces of these beauties.

Southern Sand Octopus
Playing around at the beach the other day, we spotted an Southern Sand Octopus at the shore line. It looked like it was trying to crawl back into the sea. We watched for a while, but kids were starting to get worried that it wouldn't make it, so I picked it up (with a lot of sand between my hand and its slimy body), and put it back in the ocean. It was stunned for a minute then began to swim. It was truly amazing to watch. This was the first ever octopus that we have seen in the wild. We followed it around for a bit, possibly getting too close for its liking, it warned us off by shooting ink at us! Missed though;)

In the midst of a nasty, public battle between Miami Mayor Tomás Regalado and Police Chief Miguel Exposito, the city's new administration has issued a rule banning most Miami employees from talking directly to reporters without approval.
City Manager Tony Crapp Jr., who assumed his post on Jan. 1, sent employees an official bulletin Tuesday saying only selected members of his administration and the office of communications are authorized to respond to media requests. Previously, reporters could reach out to department spokespeople and staffers directly.
The new media relations policy comes after weeks of political infighting between Regalado and Exposito played out publicly in newspapers and radio and TV broadcasts. Neither could be reached for comment on the new policy Wednesday afternoon.
Crapp, who acknowledged a flurry of media interest in the city over the past few weeks, said the policy was "something we needed to do anyway."
"I posted it because no one needs to be able to have a press conference unless going through the manager's office," Crapp said, alluding to a packed news conference the police chief held last Friday in which he publicly rebuked the mayor.
The new policy still allows reporters to speak directly to the Miami police and fire departments, and Crapp admitted the police chief can talk to the media on certain issues — like public safety — without the city manager's consent.

I'm trying to create a script to generate a temporary license file for an internal application. The requirements to generate the file are the hostname and mac address of the system that the application is on, which gets saved to an XML file. Traditionally we have manually opened the file and edited each time we want to generate a license, so I'm trying to simplify the process. Anyhow, this is what I've come up with for editing the file:
$hostname = read-host "Enter the hostname of the ICA Server" $MACAddress1 = read-host "Enter the MAC Address of the ICA Server" $DefaultDays = read-host "Do you want to set the license for the default 30 days? Y/N" If($DefaultDays -eq 'N'){ $LicenseDays = Read-Host "Enter number of days for temporary license (1-999)"} else {$LicenseDays = '30'} [xml]$inputFile = gc $FilePath $inputfile.LicenseRequest.Server.hostname = $hostname $inputfile.licenserequest.server.macaddr = $MACAddress $inputFile.LicenseRequest.License.Duration.value = $LicenseDays $inputFile.Save($FilePath)
Right now when I run it it is showing this as the error:
Cannot set "hostname" because only strings can be used as values to set XmlNode properties.
Cannot set "macaddr" because only strings can be used as values to set XmlNode properties.
I've run $hostname | get-member and it's showing as TypeName: System.String.
For grins, I've also changed the variables to $hostname1 and $MACAddress1, then included $hostname = $hostname1 |out-string and $MACAddress = $MACAddress1 | out-string but I'm still seeing the same error. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Edit: I just realized it might help to see my XML file...
I figured it out! I needed quotes around the variables.

I also have to add that there may be multiple remixes for a single song. The ones I've listed here are the remixes that I personally like. So here's a list of some of my favorite remixed versions of bollywood classics...
First the Good (there's going to be a whole separate post about the bad and the ugly):
Sayan Dil Mein Aana Re, Bahar (1951), S.D. Burman
The young, fresh-faced Vaijayanti Mala is adorable in this song. Her movements are so carefree and elegant. Also the Kabootar part totally reminds me of Maine Pyaar Kiya. The costume changes remind me of Buddha Mil Gaya from Sangam, another one of Vaijayanti Mala's successful songs. This song just makes me smile every time I watch it.
The remixed version of this song is also carefree and incorporates Wannabe by the Spice Girls (without giving them credit of course, cuz that's how it's done in Bollywood!). As is tradition for remixes, this video has a starlet, this time it's Tanushree Dutta. The dancing is cute and not over the top or too sexy.
Zarurat Hai from Man Mauji (1962), Madan Mohan
Kishore Kumar weaves his magic in this song. He sings about his need for a wife who will take care of him and serve him well, while the beautiful Sadna ignores his efforts to woo her. I hadn't watched or listened to the original song until my mom pointed out that this was the original version of the remix by the Bombay Vikings.
The remix has different lyrics for the most part but still retains the same feel. It still retains a lot of the classic Kishore Kumar masti and fun elements. The guy in the video is Raju Sundaram (Prabhu Deva's older brother) for those of you who were wondering! Raju Sundaram is also an accomplished choreographer like his brother and even choreographed Salman Khan in Wanted.
Hoton Pe Aisi Baat from Jewel Thief (1967), S.D. Burman
Vaijayanti Mala is in this classic as well. Here we see her at her peak. This song establishes her dancing ability. She convincingly portrays pain through her dancing. In short, she is amazing in this song while Dev Anand does his thing.
In the remixed version we see Rakhi Sawant with Muzamil Ibrahim (can someone say yummy!). The reason why I like this remix is because of the video. I like the story and the whole setting even though Rakhi Sawant is over-the-top at times. It modernizes the setting in the original video (raja ka darbaar) to a certain extent (even though it has an Arabian/Aladin theme). I don't really understand the ending but I enjoyed the video and the remix very much.
Main Chali from Padosan (1968), R.D. Burman
The original song has the beautiful Saira Banu cycling around a garden with her friends proclaiming that she's on her way to find love while her friends warn her of potential heartbreakers. This is a cute song in which a girl and her friends talk about love and the right time to fall in love.
I really like this remix by the Bombay Vikings. In typical Bombay Vikings style, they change some of the lyrics. They modernize the song without getting rid of the essence of the original song. The song still tells the tale of a girl who leaves everything behind in pursuit of love. For a change the video does not have scantily clad girls dancing provocatively.
Kajra Mohabbat Wala from Kismat (1968), O.P. Nayyar
This song stars the chanchal Babita dressed as a man. The song is all about teasing and chedkani. It tells the story of a guy telling his lover that her gajre ne leli meri jaan, hay re mein tere kurbaan.
I was pleasantly surprised when I found the remix of this song considering it stars Diya Mirza. The song is sung by Sonu Nigam and Alisha Chinoy. Sonu very easily add the chedkani while Alsiha effortlessly adds the ada and nakhre. Diya has a sexy avatar and looks amazing in the video. The part where Sonu cheds Diya reminds me of this song from Pyaar Kiye Jaa (1968).
Bindiya Chamkegi, Do Raaste (1969), Laxmikant Pyarelal
The original song is filmed on the cute and bubbly Mumtaz and the (then) king of romance Rajesh Khanna. The song is about a girl teasing her rootha lover while asking him to forgive her as well. Along with all the teasing she also tells him that she loves him very much and his emotions and sentiments are important to her.
This remix is sung by Anuradha Paudwal, who adds a lot of soul to the song. The video is about a girl who pulls a prank on her Army Jawan boyfriend. It's fun and manages to keep the essence of teasing intact. Another shocker is that the remix does not have some weird out-of-place setting that involves girls dancing seductively.
Chadti Jawani Meri from Caravan (1971), R.D. Burman
For those of you who want an excellent example of the fun 70s Bollywood soundtrack, listen to the music of Caravan. All of the songs in this movie are just plain amazing. R.D. Burman was a musical genius just like his father S.D. Burman. This song especially, is filmed on a young and flirty Aruna Irani and the Jumping Jack Jeetendra. The song is about a girl who wants her lover to notice her chadti jawani rather than the other girls around. This song is all about teasing, flirting and masti. For a change it's not Kishore Kumar singing but Mohammed Rafi.
The remix mixes in The Ketchup Song by Las Ketchup (without giving them credit, of course!). The result is actually a fun remix. The video has the infamous Negar Khan, a fresh faced Priyanka (aka Nisha) Kothari and another model whose name I am yet to find as angel mannequins who come to life and experience the modern world. Yes they are scantily clad angels but who cares (I guess they were inspired by the Victoria's Secret Angels!)
Nahi Nahi from Jawani Deewani (1972), R.D. Burman
I like this song because it's just so darn like-able! Kishore Kumar adds a whole lot of masti and chedkani to this song, while Asha Bhosle contributes the ada and nakhre. As a special mention, I must add that all of the songs in this movie are amazing. (I bet there are remixes for all of them!) Randhir Kapoor plays the young lover perfectly while the gudiya like Jaya Bhaduri plays his cute girlfriend perfectly.
I like that this remix by DJ Aqueel retains the original vocals and just adds new beats. As a bonus the video has a drunk Ayesha Takia dancing away as her boyfriend, Keith (ex B4U VJ) tries to take her away before she does some she may regret!
Koi Shehri Babu from Loafer (1973), Laxmikant Pyarelal
The original has a cut and bubbly Mumtaz and adorable Farida Jalal (how cute is she in this song?!). The vocals are provided by Lata Mangeshkar. The girl sings about a shehri babu who stole her heart and gifted her a ghungroo, which made her dance. Yeah this sounds really weird when I translate it but I promise it sounds much better in Hindi! The setting for this song is at a sangeet (I'm assuming here - I haven't watched the movie). So this song is all about how the bride fell in love with her groom. It's cute and full of masti.
The remix stars Reshma Bombaywala, an indian model who became a known face after this song. There is no real story to this song. It's just a bunch of scantily clad girls dancing but the dance steps are not crazy (surprising). I still remember how this video raised a whole bunch of eyebrows when it first came out. I like this video because it's simple, doesn't try too hard, doesn't have crazy beats ruining the song and I think Falguni Pathak is sining it. I'm a huge fan of Falguni's songs (I can already see an idea for my next post blossoming!).
Bahon Mein Chale Aao from Anamika (1973) & Hum Bewafa Hargiz Na The from Shalimar (1978), R.D. Burman
Bahon Mein Chale Aao is filmed on the lovable Jaya Bhaduri and the handsome Sajeev Kumar. The song is about the sweet longing a girl has for her lover. She wants her lover to spend time with her without being shy. The song is sweet and the lyrics are playful. Lata Mangeshkar's voice adds an innocence to the song. Hum Bewafa is filmed on the Garam Dharam (Dharmendra) and the beautiful Zeenat Aman. The song is about a man telling his lover that he was never bewafa and still loves her. It is very heartfelt and sung skillfully by Kishore Kumar.
The remix has both of these songs which is why I've grouped them. The story is about a guy coming to village where he falls for the village belle. The elders disapprove of their relationship and he is thrown out of the village. He is sad and heartbroken as he leaves the village. But all is well again when he reunites with his love. This remix is sung by the talented Mahalakshmi Iyer and the melodious Shaan. It sounds good. It looks good. Most of all the video of the remix captures longing and heartbreak effectively.
Jay Jay Shiv Shankar from Aap Ki Kasam (1974), R.D. Burman
This is actually one of the first remixes I remember watching as a kid. MTV India held a singing contest and the winners got to sing this song. The video stars Maria Goretti (Arshad Warsi's wife) and Yash Tonk. It's fun and captures the masti that was in the original.
The original was filmed on the bubbly Mumtaz and the romantic Rajesh Khanna. In the song, the lovers are at a temple where they unknowingly drink Bhang. They sing about their love for each other in their drunken stupor!
Ghar Jayegi from Khusboo (1975), R.D. Burman
This song is filmed on the Dream Girl Hema Malini and is about a girl dreaming about her wedding. She dreams about the mehendi that going to adorn her arms. She wonders what her doli is going to be like. She thinks back to the first time she realized she was in love. This song is so well written. It expresses a girl's feeling so well.
The remix starts out with the original vocals and then switches to the new vocals and beats, which sounds good. The video on the other hand is a little confusing. It is set in a brothel, of all places, and has Anjana Sukhani cast as a prostitute/wife (weird, yeah I know!). The setting could hint at prostitute's desire to have a family to call her own or a prostitute mocking the lives of other girls. So it starts out with a prostitute returning to the brothel and seeing her lover/husband there. The end suggests that the entire song was a dream. Anyway, yes the girls are seductive and provocatively dressed (they are prostitutes...) but the dance steps are actually cute.
Pardesiya from Mr Natwarlal (1979), Rajesh Roshan
This song is filmed on the enigmatic Rekha and none other than Amitabh Bachchan. It is about a girl telling her lover that he stole her dil. Rekha looks beautiful and is very graceful. Mr. Bachchan plays the part of the dashing young man convincingly.
The remix has Rakhi Sawant and Muzamil Ibrahim doing their thing. I believe this is Rakhi's first remix but I may be wrong. Well since she's in this song, it's a given that there's going to be a whole lot of skin-show and jhatkas and matkas Rakhi style. I like this song because of the story. The whole office crush thing is cute but other than that this song has nothing else to offer.
Hum Tumhe Chahte Hai Aise from Qurbani (1980), Biddu
The original was filmed on Zeenat Aman and Vinod Khanna. It's not difficult to see that Zeenat Aman could easily be any man's object of affection and desire. Here the guy tells the girl the extent of his love for her even though he knows that she loves someone else. The song is very passionate and has a lot of emotion. Vinod Khanna plays the lovelorn lover excellently.
The remix has the beautiful Shweta Salve. I like the mysterious quality that she brings to the video. Also, this remix does not increase the tempo of the song but keeps it slow and romantic. Another change that it makes is the addition of female vocals for certain sections of the song, which convey what the girl feels.
Thoda Resham Lagta Hai (Kaliyon Ka Chaman) from Jyoti (1981), Bappi Lahiri
Kaliyon Ka Chaman brought Megna Naidu to everyone's attention. I actually did not know that Kaliyon Ka Chaman was the remix of Thoda Resham Lagta Hai. When I actually saw the original song, I was surprised. In this case, the remix sounds very different.
The original is a bit more classical with Lata Mangeshkar providing the vocals. The song has Aruna Irani as a tawaif singing and dancing. What's really surprising to me is that this time Bollywood did not do the copying.
"Truth Hurts" by Addictive is a copy of the remix Kaliyon Ka Chaman. Not only is the music copied but even the styling of the video is copied. Now that's different!
Raat Baki from Namak Halal (1982), Bappi Lahiri
This song stars the ravishing Parveen Babi, dashing Shashi Kapoor and the original Angry Young Man Amitabh Bachchan. The song is about a girl teasing her lover. She says the night is still young and let whatever happens between them happen. Parveen Babi plays the role of the temptress effortlessly.
I remember watching the remix when I was younger. I was mesmerized by the weird setting but somehow I've grown to like it. The model in the song also appears in Right Here Right Now from Bluffmaster (she's the girl with the tattoo on her shoulder). The remix is seductive just as the lyrics.
Tu Tu Hai Wohi from Yeh Vaada Raha (1982), R.D. Burman
This song is so catchy. The original stars Rishi Kapoor, Poonam Dhillon and Tina Munim. This song is about a girl telling her lover that he is what her heart desires and she will be always be with him no matter where he is.
Just like many of the other songs, I actually heard the remixed version before I heard the original version of the song. But unlike Nahi Nahi, this time DJ Aqueel did not retain the original vocals of the song. This time, he not only changed the vocals, but also added english lyrics. I also have to point out that in the original as a faster tempo while the remix is actually much slower, surprisingly. This is the second video that includes prostitutes. Here they answer phone calls by dedicating these promises of love to their callers. One of the girls in this video, Mahi Vij has gone on to act in TV shows. I have no clue about the other two girls.
Bin Tere Sanam from Yaara Dildaara (1991), Jatin-Lalit
The original song is filmed on Asif Sheikh, who was most recently seen essaying the role of Dr. Armaan's father (Billy) in the hit TV show Dill Mill Gayye, and Ruchika Pandey. I've never even heard of this movie or seen the original video before. Regardless, the song is a different story. I've heard this song countless times. The song is about lovers who declare their love for each other. The boy talking about how barren his life is without his love calls her his life while the girl promises never to leave him since zhalim hai dil ki lagi.
This remix is by DJ Suketu. The video for the remix is set in a club setting, which partly explains the crazy costumes. The story is simple. Boy and girl meet in the club. Boy and girl dance and tease each other. The next part I didn't quite get, it's either boy sees another guy dancing with girl or girl already has a boyfriend. Anyway, boy is left heartbroken. When boy is about to leave he sees girl waiting for him. So I guess the other boy was a friend?! IDK. The song sounds good and that's all I care about!

Weird Day
So most of you don't know this but my favorite band is the Old 97's. Anyone, I'm currently listening to one of their songs I've never heard. That's pretty weird considering I assumed I'd heard them all.
Anyway, I did make a bit of a comeback today, which was nice. Stuck to my small stakes grinding plan. And it was nice.
Then I just got smacked around in 2 o8 games. I think it's my biggest losing session at o8 to date – though I've never lost more than 50 bets in a session before. Granted it was shorthanded but it's pretty standard jam, jam, jam, brick type stuff – though clearly I'm jamming a bit less on the turn and river. 3 or 4 bets here or there over and over again.
I think it's time to take a few days off from poker, but we'll see. I played pretty well today overall. I've had stretches worse than this for longer so hey what can you do. I just think it's important to rememeber times like this, not so you "appreciate the good timesâ€. Lol. If you can't appreciate a good old fashioned upswing you are probably wound a bit too tight. No, so you can remember the next time you've got AQQ2 on the Q84 and A559 goes running hearts for all that gold.
Anyway, this Old 97's song was pretty bleh so I'm not too sad I haven't hear it before.
Pandora advice – don't waste your song skips.

Catching criminals and guaranteeing that regulation enforcement stays one step forward requires constant refinement of the programs in place to cope with explicit eventualities, and one of the very important resources for advancing police methods is new know-how. Within the current past, know-how that may have as soon as seemed to leap proper out of the longer term has develop into commonplace inside the justice system.
So, yes, you should be skeptical of my skepticism. Perhaps those who dismiss critics of the Internet as Luddites or nostalgists shall be proved appropriate, and from our hyperactive, data-stoked minds will spring a golden age of intellectual discovery and common wisdom. Then once more, the Internet is not the alphabet, and although it could replace the printing press, it produces one thing altogether totally different.
They've been changed by banks of digital displays. Automation has develop into so refined that on a typical passenger flight, a human pilot holds the controls for a grand total of simply three minutes. What pilots spend loads of time doing is monitoring screens and keying in knowledge. They've grow to be, it's not much of an exaggeration to say, pc operators.
Genetic memory is a powerful factor for humans to fall back on in times of stress, danger and confusion. You convey some very properly thought out factors regarding the velocity of our emotional and mental abilities, compared to the speed of immediately's technological innovations. And it's such a disgrace that, actually, as advanced as humans have turn out to be, we continue to fall back to that decrease mind. The hazard is much increased however, as prehistoric reasoning coupled with fashionable know-how has proved to be a VERY lethal combination. Great hub Nell! Manner up and far more!
Dr Toure, secretary common of the Worldwide Telecommunications Union (ITU), believes that we no longer face a digital divide, however a broadband divide. Looking at cell subscription charges for creating nations this definitely appears to be true. Over one billion folks throughout Africa, Asia and Latin America now have entry to cell phones and are actively utilizing them for providers reminiscent of cellular banking.

The spirit of white nationalist John Tanton is alive and well at the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), the anti-immigrant group he founded in 1979.
Tanton hasn't been involved in the day-to-day operations of FAIR for years. He is reportedly suffering from advanced Parkinson's disease at a nursing home in northern Michigan. But FAIR's current leadership continually fail to disavow the ideas of Tanton, a man who wrote, "I've come to the point of view that for European-American society and culture to persist requires a European-American majority, and a clear one at that."
One of FAIR's most recent hires also appears to similarly support Tanton's goal of preserving a white majority in the United States.
On October 3, FAIR Senior Researcher Kenric Ward retweeted an image of far-right Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orbán. The photo was captioned: "A nation which expects its biological survival from immigrants won't survive." The account that initially posted the image, @DefendEvropa, regularly glorifies fascists like Oswald Mosley, leader of the British Union of Fascists in the early 20th Century.
One day earlier, Ward retweeted Paul Ray Ramsey, a white nationalist video blogger and regular speaker at alt-right conferences known more commonly by his screen name, Ramzpaul. Ramsey's is just one of myriad alt-right and white nationalist accounts FAIR's Ward follows and interacts with on Twitter. Others include Richard Spencer, white nationalist outfits like Identity Evropa and the publisher Counter-Currents, neo-Confederate figures like League of the South President Michael Hill and Brad Griffin. He also follows Jason Kessler, the white nationalist organizer of August's deadly "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
At the time of publication, Ward uses a Confederate seal as his profile photo on Twitter.
Hey @movesanantonio this Confederate seal is displayed just steps away from today's City Council swearing-in ceremony pic.twitter.com/4V6rUwuhiX
— Kenric Ward (@Kenricward) June 21, 2017
Ward's writing has previously featured at right-wing outlets such as Watchdog.org and The Heritage Foundation's Daily Signal blog. He was hired by FAIR earlier this year, with his byline first appearing on FAIR's blog in early June.
Ward's dalliances with white nationalist, neo-Confederate, and more general alt-right outlets and individuals certainly isn't unprecedented for FAIR staffers. The organization previously employed people like Rick Oltman, a member of the white nationalist Council of Conservative Citizens, and Jospeh Turner, a self-proclaimed nationalist who has defended neo-Nazis. People like Marcus Epstein also continued to appear at FAIR-organized events long after their history of white nationalist activism had been exposed.
However, the unwillingness of FAIR leaders to distance themselves from white nationalist figures and ideas is most telling.
When asked by The Standard-Times earlier this year whether he disavows the goal of maintaining or expanding a white majority, FAIR Executive Director Bob Dane pointedly defended racist anxieties held by Tanton and others.
"For many, the question of whether a country loses its majority status is a fair question," Dane said. "It's a legitimate policy question for a lot of folks."
FAIR continues to foment fear and suspicion of people it perceives as a threat to the white majority Tanton idealized. In August, the group published an issue paper, "Could Uncontrolled Immigration Expose Us to a Public Health Crisis?", which peddles racist tropes about immigrants and refugees bringing diseases—a deliberately ignorant effort to demonize immigrant communities used by nativists for centuries.
Right from the start, the influence the paper's bigoted influences and aims are apparent. The first paragraph cites an article written by white nationalist and former FAIR employee Rick Oltman. The article was published in the Winter 2017 issue of John Tanton's quarterly journal, The Social Contract. It is also not the first time the group has employed the odious framing. During a television appearance last year, FAIR President Dan Stein suggested Central Americans pose a health threat on scale to the devastation America's indigenous populations suffered from European colonists.
FAIR has had years to genuinely distance itself from rightful accusations of bigotry and white nationalism. Instead, the group continues to double down on those ideas. In its over 35 years of existence, FAIR's actions continue to show that it's a racist dog unable to learn new tricks.

• Foreign exchange implications. Although the first place on the importance of international tourism for national economies is given to the revenue currency, and its possible significant leakage. Developing countries are forced to import more food and goods to tourists, as well as the necessary equipment for the travel industry.

There is also an import, due to the impact of "demonstration effect". Tourists, arriving in industrialized countries contribute to the imports of foreign consumer goods.
And yet, despite this, international tourism continues to grow, expanding its goals. Tourism classified:

International tourism is an active source of foreign exchange earnings. For example, most of the revenue from international tourism in the total revenues from exports of goods and services is: Spain – 35%, Australia and Greece – 36%, Switzerland – 12, Italy 11, Portugal – 21 and in Cyprus is 52 %. In most developing countries, the share of foreign tourism accounts for 10-15% of revenues from exports of goods and services. However, in some countries this percentage is much higher, for example, in Colombia it is 20%, Jamaica – 30, -55 Panama and Haiti -73%. Continue reading

Residents struggle after Rita
The emotional toll of Hurricane Rita is becoming more evident everyday, said pastors in southeast Texas.
BY HEATHER MOYER | BEAUMONT, Texas | December 8, 2005
Some families lost everything twice, and that's very difficult.
Rev. Jacqui King
The emotional toll of Hurricane Rita is becoming more evident everyday, said pastors in southeast Texas.
When the Rev. Harland Merriam asked one of his parishioners how she was doing the other day, the answer was not as cheery as it used to be.
"I asked, 'How are you?' and it was the first time I ever heard her say, 'I don't know,'" said Merriam, pastor of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Beaumont, Texas. "That was very telling."
It's been two months since the huge storm slammed into the region and the recovery for many residents is very difficult. "We're under significant stress," he explained. "As a pastor, I've had a big jump in deaths in the past two months. It's a challenge. A lot of us feel beat up pretty bad around here."
Merriam said he's lost four elderly members of his church since Rita hit, and he knows that their already fragile state was significantly compounded by the high stress after the hurricane roared through.
With an estimated 25,000 homes around the region needing significant repair or rebuild help due to hurricane damage, the stress can be overwhelming to residents. Merriam said he's seeing a lot of fear, noting that people are not sure when they will have their homes back to normal - or if they'll even be able to return to the area at all.
To help the thousands of families in need, Merriam is co-chair of the newly formed Southeast Interfaith Disaster Recovery Organization (SIDRO). SIDRO is made up of various faith communities, businesses and community organizations. "We are in the recovery stage, and things are happening," he said. "We are working on the needs from all levels. We're working together across geographical, racial and denominational barriers."
The needs are great across the region, said Joe Higgs, SIDRO's other co-chair. Yet Higgs hopes a network of churches and faith groups already in place will contribute to the recovery in a positive way. Higgs is an organizer for Gulf Coast Interfaith (GCI), an offshoot of the Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF). Leaders and organizers of IAF offshoots like the GCI "build organizations whose primary purpose is power - the ability to act - and whose chief product is social change."
GCI was already organizing communities across the counties hit very hard by Hurricane Rita - Jefferson, Galveston and Orange counties. Higgs said through the partnership with GCI, SIDRO is helping local towns and communities organize their own recovery process.
"We knew there'd be huge unmet needs, so we're seeing if we can develop a regional disaster recovery organization that will operate over the next three to four years, principally to help people rebuild homes and other resources they need to get their lives back on track," said Higgs. "We're trying to operate at a very local level for certain things, and then at a regional level for others."
Higgs said local communities know what they need the most, and the local communities are embracing that sort of organizing so far.
In Orange, the Rev. Robert Fisher is excited to see so many different groups working together. "All the denominations in Orange have been meeting and figuring out how we can do this together and not duplicate work," said Fisher, pastor of Orange's First United Methodist Church. "It's exciting - but it's a shame that it takes a disaster to get us to realize that it's not about denomination, but helping people in need."
One challenge to the recovery in the region is that so many were impacted by both Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita. "Initially all of our cities were overwhelmed by Katrina," said Higgs. "Then three weeks later we were fleeing, and many could not return for two to three weeks."
The Rev. Jacqui King sees that dual problem amongst her parishioners and community as well. King, the pastor of St. Paul United Methodist Church in Port Arthur, said some Louisiana residents had decided to make the new area their home, only to have to flee from another hurricane several weeks later. "The hurt is beyond what you can see for the families who had a double hurricane. Some families lost everything twice, and that's very difficult."
For the native residents, said King, serving the Katrina evacuees was the mission until they themselves had to get out. "There was a lot of energy going out already, and then two weeks later we were on the other end of it."
King has also lost several elderly members of her church due to the high stress after the hurricane. The emotions amongst the survivors are those of the grieving process, she noted, adding that she is at least encouraged by seeing the community actively grieve and move through the emotions together. King, who is also assisting with SIDRO, said the new partnerships being formed between people of different denominations, backgrounds and ethnicities is one major positive coming out of the destruction.
The recovery will still be a long term challenge, though, she said, as many will have to come to grips with losing their homes and cherished belongings. "The city is going to grieve. City hall said 800 structures could potentially be demolished because they're unsafe. Well, what happens when an elderly church member's name is on that list and she's not comprehending that they're wanting to tear her house down?" King said. "I'm trying to help teach people how to make tough decisions. Change is hard. This takes another kind of nurturing."
The slow process of the recovery thus far is also hard on residents, added King. Families are frustrated about not having a trailer from the Federal Emergency Management Agency yet, she noted, or being put on a waiting list to even get a blue tarp put on their roofs. From there it's a long wait to get a contractor to fix your home - if you can afford it, King said.
The hope is there, though. "I'm seeing an outpouring of a want and desire to help," noted King. "I do see some sadness and tears, and I do see some struggling, but I do see hope. This storm has not killed the spirit here."
A boost to that hope is all the help pouring in from regional and national churches. Merriam and Higgs said SIDRO and the recovery would not be where it was without help from agencies like Church World Service, the United Methodist Committee on Relief, Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, Lutheran Disaster Response, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Catholic Charities, and many more.
Higgs said UMCOR will help them hold case management training very soon, and several local churches are offering their own buildings or retreat centers for free to incoming volunteers. He and Merriam are grateful for all the help so far and added that assistance will be needed for a long time. "There is tremendous need," said Higgs.

Best of the Rest rejuvenates
HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - After finishing off the board in three consecutive starts, Best of the Rest needed a confidence booster. Friday's $80,500 Unbridled Handicap proved just what the doctor ordered as Best of the Rest got back on the winning track with a three-length victory over Groomstick Stock's in an overnight stakes at Gulfstream Park restricted to Florida-breds.
Best of the Rest appeared at the top of his game following yet another injury-related layoff after easily winning the Spend a Buck and King Rex handicaps at Calder last fall. But a combination of poor racing luck and the change in venue from Calder to Gulfstream resulted in three straight setbacks that included a fifth-place finish in the Grade 1 Donn Handicap here earlier this season.
So trainer Eddie Plesa Jr. decided a return to softer company might be in order for the 7-year-old Best of the Rest and the Unbridled provided the ideal spot. Facing ungraded competition, Best of the Rest ($3.80) forced the early pace of Groomstick Stock's then readily ran down the leader in early stretch before drawing off convincingly under regular rider Eibar Coa.
"I'm still not totally convinced he cares for this track like he does Calder but today's field was not as imposing as the ones he's faced in his previous two starts," said Plesa. "This was a good spot for him to re-establish himself."
Plesa said he will wait and see how Best of the Rest comes out of the race before deciding when and where the talented but fragile veteran may run next. He also didn't rule out taking his handicap star on the road for the first time this season.
"We'll check out our options, which include a stakes at Calder on Memorial Day," said Plesa. "Although, knock on wood, with a little luck I think he'll be traveling somewhere this summer."
Fair Apache tops turf sprint
Entries will be at a premium over the final two weeks of the meet although there was certainly no lack of interest on the part of horsemen in Sunday's $75,000 Marshua's River Stakes, which lured a full field of 12 fillies and mares plus one also-eligible to go five furlongs on the turf.
Topping the list will be the California invader Fair Apache, a Santa Anita-based speedster who has held her own against some top quality competition in West Coast turf sprints over the past two seasons. Trained by Chris Paasch, Fair Apache was a stakes winner in 2001 and comes in off a fifth-place finish in the 6 1/2-furlong Irish O'Brien Stakes at Santa Anita on March 17.
The local contingent will be headed by Flying Birdie, Curious Treasures, and Elvi Gamble.
Speed has been a hot commodity in five-furlong turf sprints, which should give Flying Birdie a distinct advantage in the Marshua's River as she is rarely if ever headed during the opening quarter- or half-mile of her races. She was an easy winner of her only previous start on grass.
* Jockey Chris DeCarlo fractured the L1 vertebrae of his lower spine after being thrown to the ground when his mount, La Spreazzatura, hit the rail on the clubhouse turn during the running of Thursday's finale. De Carlo won last Saturday's $250,000 Aventura Handicap aboard Marasca.
* Apprentice jockey Luis Chavez won the first race of his career when he guided Halo of Truth to victory in Wednesday's fourth race for trainer Herman Wilensky. A 17-year-old native of Chile, Chavez became the first apprentice jockey to win a race at the current meet, which began on January 3.
* Wopping turned in one of the most impressive performances of the meet when he drew off to a 12-length victory in Thursday's $46,000 allowance feature for 3-year-old fillies. Her final time of 1:09.20 for six furlongs was the fastest at the distance this meet.
* Thursday's crowd of 4,528 was one of the smallest here in some time but it was still larger than the 4,446 fans who attended the Florida Marlins-Montreal Expos game at Pro Player Stadium later that evening.

- I will help you to change the way you think which, in turn, will help you to see things from a different perspective.

- I will help you to change unhelpful behaviours and replace them with more adaptive ones.
- I will accept you for who you are, without judgment.

text: Alright, I really can't figure it out. I created a /GBA folder along with the /GBA/SAVE folder. Placed a "backup" in there (the Castlevania 2 in 1), but I can't figure out how to load it. By watching JNGamer's YouTube Video, I downloaded the EZFlash GBA Loader. When booting up the Loader, it does the flashing and the copying and that's it. I don't know how to access the Nintendo DS Menu with the R4 inserted. Even when I change the options in the Nintendo DS, it still goes straight to the R4 menu. And, while I'm in the R4 menu, and do a Boot Slot-2, all I get are two white screens... I'm just an idiot, I'll look harder for now. Confirmed, I'm an idiot. EZ4 Client did the trick.

IPSE Sub-Project 3:
The primary objective of this sub-project is to advance Irish competitiveness by empirically exploring the processes through which innovation strategies of entrepreneurs can create and capture economic value.
Our research will be led by three research teams from within UCD. Each team will address one of three core research problems, which in combination cast empirical light upon the processes of value creation and economic value capture for innovative firms and university spin-outs both within Irish and international competitive settings. Firstly, we will investigate under what conditions entrepreneurs and firms benefit from the successes and failures of their own innovation projects; and how learning from these successes and failures impacts R&D productivity, profitability and value creation. Secondly, we will study why some universities are better than others at commercialising university intellectual property via the creation of start-up companies. Finally, we will address the question of how the risks in the innovation process impact on value creation in internationally traded services.
The strategy group of UCD Business School and supported by the finance group of UCD Business School will address the first research problem mentioned above. We will use a dataset of the entire bio-pharmaceutical industry to understand the conditions under which innovation setbacks can be converted from failure events into positive long-term value creation. Such an understanding is of central importance to the long-term viability of the Irish bio-pharmaceutical sector.
This will be managed by the entrepreneurship group at UCD and MIT. Technology transfer and the commercialisation of university research is a fundamental part of Ireland's emerging industrial development strategy- in terms of both the development of an indigenous base of firms in sectors such as bio-technology and ICT, and in terms of attracting high value-added inward foreign direct investment. However, investments in the third and fourth level education system and the funding of research projects and institutes has occurred in a vacuum in that there is an incomplete understanding of how such investments will lead to the anticipated industrial development benefits. The objective of this task is to identify and understand the antecedents to the commercialisation of university-based research.
This task will be addressed by the operations and services management group at UCD Business School. We will examine the innovation process in internationally traded service value chains and develop models of risk mitigation that can be applied across a variety of settings.

Joseph Romm, author of the book "Climate Change: What You Need to Know," appeared on MSNBC Saturday to discuss weather in America.
According to Romm, the phrases "hottest ever," "driest ever," "wettest ever" or "most extreme," show the effects of climate change, which is "harming humans on every single continent." He also added that climate change will continue to get "worse and worse."
"When you hear a phrase like he said, 'the highest ever,' you know, 'off the charts,' 'record setting,' that's a good sign that on top of a whatever local weather patterns there are or regional like El Nino, global warming, fossil fuel driven climate change is putting its finger on the scale and juicing the atmosphere and causing the even bigger weather event than you would have otherwise seen."
Romm continued to explain, "The scientific community has been clear for many years, and the reason we had this unprecedented agreement in Paris to deal with climate change is because indeed, climate change, hotter temperatures — so when you hear 'hottest ever,' 'driest ever,' 'wettest ever,' 'most extreme,' yes, climate change is harming humans on every single continent and it's going to get worse and worse, you know, until we, you know, ratchet up our commitment to reduce, you know, the consumption of fossil fuels, coal, oil and natural gas. That's what the Paris agreement with was about."

The Harsh Cry of the Heron is the dazzling continuation of the Tales of the Otori, an unforgettable epic with a vast emotional landscape, a classic work that crosses genres, genders and generations.
'Their realm is held in balance by their union … Break that union and the Three Countries will fall apart.'
Otori Takeo and Kaede have ruled the Three Countries peacefully for over sixteen years, following the events laid out in the epic Tales of the Otori. They have three daughters: Shigeko, fifteen years old and heir to the Otori, and Maya and Miki, thirteen-year-old twins who have inherited the supernatural skills of their father. Kaede knows nothing of the prophecy that Takeo will die at the hands of his son and longs to give him a male child. Nor does she know of the boy he fathered sixteen years ago – a boy whose heart is filled with hatred and whose skills as a Ghostmaster give him the power to incite the dead.
Takeo is determined that clan conflicts will never again ravage the Three Countries, but warriors are born to fight: the warlord Arai Zenko has deadly ambitions, the Emperor himself has challenged Takeo's rule and, despite a delicate truce between the deadly Tribe and the Otori, revenge still eats at the heart of renegade leader Kikuta Akio …
Against these gathering threats Takeo draws strength from his love for Kaede, but even this is not beyond the reach of their enemies …

Tavern & Arcane Toilet
Tavern & Arcane Toilet
1: Thirst for Adventure. This is your endurance bar which displays how many quests you can still do today as every quest costs TfA points. The bar refreshes once a day at midnight (depending on your server).
2: A lady, adventurer or orc offers you three quests. Select one of them to win XP, gold, honor and sometimes an item or even a mushroom. Every quest reduces your Thirst of Adventure depending on the quest duration. Want to travel faster? Visit the stable and lease a mount.
3: Click the barkeeper to drink beers, up to 11 a day. By doing so you can use up to 300 Thirst for Adventure instead of the default 100. Moreover, the barkeeper also tells you if there is a
weekend event
4: If you are level 100+ you can go upstairs to the Arcane Toilet.
5: Visit the gambler to play a game of luck and win or lose gold and mushrooms.
Hint: red quests are more difficult but the rewards a better.
Hint: during Happy Hour you can spend 1
to skip the waiting timer of a quest. Some servers have Happy Hour between 11 pm and midnight whereas others have it all day long.
Hint: if your backpack is full you cannot get an item as quest reward.
Hint: every completed quest rewards you with 10 honor.
Daily Missions
Click the wanted poster to check out your daily mission. Complete it for some extra XP! Level 10 required. Not during weekend events.
Arcane Toilet
If your level is 100 or higher and you've already found the toilet key on your quests you can click the WC sign in the tavern and enter the Arcane Toilet.
Most heroes usually hoard tons of useless things in their backpacks and the best place for their stuff is...the toilet.
You can sacrifice items to the Gods by throwing them into the Arcane Toilet (drag and drop the item). As a result, the toilet's Mana Tank increases once per day. Hover your mouse over the tank to display the amount of mana points required to flush the toilet.
As soon as the Mana Tank is full, you can pull the chain to flush the toilet and receive a new random item. There is also the chance to get one of the epic items that can only be found in the toilet. In addition, your Aura increases by 1. Aura improves your reputation in the shops: the higher your Aura, the better items you are offered by the merchants.
Although the toilet's Mana Tank increases only once per day you can still sacrifice any number of items. The Gods are merciful and they immediately give an item back for each sacrifice they receive. Such items are not generated for your class but for your followers in the Tower because the Gods have a heart of gold for these little helpers.
Hint: you don't receive gold for the Arcane Toilet items you sell in the shops!
Hint: if you sacrifice an item and receive both mana points and a new item, you don't get mana points for the new item the next day again!
Hint: epic Tower items cannot be sacrificed!
Hint: the Gods prefer epic items! Standard item: 25 mana points, epic item: 50 points, potions: 10 points. The points required to flush the toilet increase with each flush.
Hint: if a sacrifice exceeds the Mana Tank's current maximum the remaining points are lost.
What is Aura? Aura improves your reputation in the shops. Each time you flush the toilet your Aura increases by one, up to level 66. The higher your Aura, the better items you are offered by the merchants.
The special WC epics that are generated in the toilet are toilet-only. You cannot find them in the shops or get them as quest rewards.
