text: M. Leary Report post Posted November 1, 2006 So, what's the point? The point is, I don't have to apologize for enjoying the music of Bill Evans, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Chet Baker, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, because I'm not expressing appreciation for their self-destructive lifestyles, but for their fully realized gifts. And, a word for nervous Christians: God loves them even more than I love their music."I think this is the sentiment I was approaching in a recent bit I wrote about watching our first baby being born. What it boiled down to is that as a crowning moment of Creation, rife with theological and aesthetic undertones, it was as dirty and gross as it was perfect and wonderful. It really altered my sense of propriety in art. As you say, we don't have to apologize for enjoying, or even being moved or edified, by things produced by awful people. A great Tarkovsky quote applies here:"Art affirms all that is best in man Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The NASC today announced its first-ever Hall of Fame class, which will be recognized at the 2017 NASC Sports Event Symposium to be held March 27-30 in Sacramento, CA.
The mission of the NASC Hall of Fame is to promote the professional management of sporting events and the sport tourism industry as a whole by honoring those individuals who exemplified the values of the NASC in their careers and by acknowledging their legacies to provide guidance for future members of the NASC.
Those to be inducted into the Hall of Fame include, in alphabetical order:
Hill Carrow
Carrow is a founder of NASC and the North Carolina Sports Association as well as the founder of North Carolina Amateur Sports and its first executive director. He served as chair for the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in 2011 and 2015, US. Olympic Trials in Table Tennis in 2012 and 2016 and is a founder and CEO of USA Masters Games.
Kevin Gray
Gray also was a founding member of NASC and was the first paid associate of the Greater Kansas City Sports Commission & Foundation. Over the 22 years leading the KC Sports Commission until he died in 2011 of cancer, the KC Sports Commission grew from one full-time employee to 10 and now includes 14 employees. Since 1990, the KC Sports Commission has helped generate in excess of $700 million in estimated economic impact. He also was instrumental in helping secure the Kansas Speedway in 2000.
Jack Hughes
For 29 years, Hughes was the owner of Event Service and Organization Professionals (ESOP) and was a sports, festival, convention, and tourism consultant for cities and sports commissions throughout the United States. His notable contributions were transferring the U.S. and North American Hot Air Balloon Championships to Baton Rouge; coordinating the U.S. Olympic Festival Torch Run relays in Louisiana, Texas, and North Carolina; and the World University Games Torch Run in New York. He was also the venue director for Archery and Cycling at the U.S. Paralympic games in Atlanta, GA. and Executive Director with the Gainesville Sports Commission.
Diane McGraw
Diane was the executive director of the Philadelphia Sports Congress and also was the first full-time president of the Orlando Area Sports Commission, known today as the Central Florida Sports Commission. She was the first-ever President of the LA Sports and Entertainment Commission, and later went on to lead the Greater Louisville Sports Commission. Subsequently, she moved up to the state level and was the executive director of tourism and film for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Diane was a founding member of the NASC and the first female chair. She presently is an active member of the NASC Leadership Council. Diane McGraw is the President of McGraw Productions, with offices in Philadelphia and Los Angeles.
Tim Schneider
He became the first publisher to establish a magazine dedicated to the sports-event industry when he launched SportsTravel magazine in 1997. He also created the TEAMS Conference & Expo, which has established itself as one of the leading business development opportunities in the sports-event industry. He has served two terms on the board of directors for the NASC in its early years. He has also served a variety of roles in the travel industry, including past chairman of the Destination & Travel Foundation and board member for both DMAI and the U.S. Travel Association.
Don Schumacher, CSEE
Schumacher is the only executive director the NASC has had. He was one of the group's co-founders and has grown the association to nearly 800 member organizations. Before the NASC, he was president of Riverfront Coliseum (now U.S. Bank Arena) and successfully hosted the World Figure Skating Championships and the men's NCAA Midwest Regional Finals. He also served as head of the Greater Cincinnati Sports & Events Commission, attracting the NCAA men's basketball tournament, NCAA women's basketball Final Four, the Frozen Four NCAA hockey championship, women's gymnastics and major skating events.


text: WASHINGTON: The US State Department has said that it will use a national interest waiver to provide financial assistance to Pakistan later this year."A waiver prior to the notification of the funding … allows the department to then notify and obligate those funds, which we'll do this year, but … we haven't done at this point," spokesperson Jen Psaki told a news briefing in Washington.A waiver implies that it's in US national interest to provide financial assistance to a country, which may not meet all the requirements for receiving US assistance.Ms Psaki explained that a waiver did not imply that the country was not cooperating with the US in fighting terrorism, "it means that some of the criteria hasn't been met".The controversy followed Finance Minister Ishaq Dar's meeting with US Ambassador Richard Olson in Islamabad on Dec 29 when the envoy informed Mr Dar that the Obama administration was working on a $532 million civilian aid package for Pakistan.But hours after the meeting, Pakistani officials issued a statement, saying that the US Congress had approved $532m for Pakistan from the Kerry-Lugar-Berman funds.The Kerry-Lugar-Berman Act, passed in 2009, requires the US administration to certify that Pakistan is "cooperating with the United States in counter-terrorism efforts against the Haqqani Network, the Quetta Shura Taliban, Lashkar e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed, Al Qaeda, and other domestic and foreign terrorist organisations".State Department to use waiver to release fundsWhen unable to issue a certification, the administration uses a national interest waiver to provide assistance.Ms Psaki explained that the United States had two options for providing financial assistance to Pakistan: the KLB act and appropriations funding.The most recent review under the KLB act completed in September 2014 and was based on the fiscal year 2013 appropriation.For releasing the funds, the US administration needed a certification or a national interest waiver.Ms Psaki explained that after reviewing the full range of criteria required, the Department of State did not issue a certification, and instead employed the national interest waiver.She further explained that the United States issued a full certification to Pakistan only once, in fiscal year 2011, stating that Pakistan had met the requirements for doing so.In 2013, the administration reviewed the certification for the fiscal year 2014 appropriations funding. That review and subsequent waiver were exercised in July 2014.In terms of total funding, for FY 2013, which only began to come off a congressional hold in September 2014, Congress appropriated approximately $1.2 billion in assistance to Pakistan.Fiscal year 2014's funding for civilian assistance programmes has not yet been notified but will be done later this year, Ms Psaki explained.

How did lifesearch16.membership install on my laptop?
Lifesearch16.club is promoted the usage of rogue download/set up setups. those setups generally affect computer systems (web browsers) when their developers use a misleading advertising and marketing technique called "bundling".

Do not down load software from unofficial and untrustworthy web sites, the usage of torrents and 1/3 celebration software downloaders. specifically if the software program is free. third birthday party downloaders regularly are monetized by way of promoting numerous undesirable/rogue applications. Use professional resources and direct hyperlinks most effective. usually take a look at what are available installation/down load settings which include "advanced" and "custom" and opt out undesirable software program earlier than completing the set up. word that intrusive advertisements builders invest cash to lead them to look legitimate, however, as soon as clicked, they regularly cause redirects playing, pornography, grownup dating and other comparable web sites. if you frequently encounter such ads or redirects, then take a look at your laptop and browser for any lately installed packages, extensions, add-ons, plug-ins and so on. dispose of all undesirable/unknown entries as quickly as viable.

My mom is a third grade teacher and she frequently talks about the children in her class. Aside from the cute stories she tells about elementary school mishaps, her tales of childhood food allergies always strike me as interesting. It seems that food allergies and intolerance among children are on the rise. No nuts for some kids, forget gluten for others, some don't consume dairy and other children are banned from sugar. In the cafeteria at her school there is even a 'peanut free' table for kids with nut allergies. Perhaps a new smartphone app could rescue these poor children banished to the 'peanut free' zone of the cafeteria.
Inventor Aydogan Ozcan is working on perfecting the 'iTube', a device that attaches to a smartphone allowing it to detect food allergens. This new device transforms the common smartphone into a lab quantifying the amount of a specific food such as peanuts in a parts-per-million measure. Results are stored in an online database which allergy sufferers can keep private or share with the public.
Although innovative, the iTube is not a miracle device. Testing foods for allergens still requires some work with this new invention. To use the iTube, food first must be ground and mixed in a test tube with chemicals. The test tube is then attached to the iTube device which uses LED lights and the smartphone camera to analyze the sample. The entire process takes 20 minutes making it somewhat cumbersome.
Despite the time commitment required by the iTube device, many allergy sufferers and parents of children with severe food allergies will find this device helpful. Others may prefer to continue relying on reading labels and questioning servers in restaurants about ingredients.
Once on the market, nurse practitioners should consider informing their patients about this product as it has the potential to relieve anxiety and prevent serious allergic reaction among food allergy sufferers.

Indeed, the same elites who call it outrageous that Carson said a Muslim should not be president are the first and loudest to decry any suggestion that our current president is a Muslim…Liberals like the idea of a Muslim president — in the abstract.
The media needs a crash course in the English language. Carson never said that a Muslim could not be president. He said that he "would not advocate" for such an arrangement. Don't kid yourself. They knew what he said. They just wanted to badger and be-mean the man because his beliefs do not match theirs. — jtl, 419
By Patrick J. Buchanan via The Patrick J. Buchanan Official Web Site
Beliefs matter. "Ideas Have Consequences," as conservative scholar Richard Weaver wrote in his classic of that title in 1948.
Yet, for so believing, and so saying, Dr. Ben Carson has been subjected to a Rodney King-style night-sticking by the P.C. police.
Asked by Chuck Todd on "Meet the Press" whether he could support a Muslim for president, Carson replied, "I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that."
Carson was not out of the studio before the airwaves were filled with denunciations. Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said CAIR is calling on Carson to "withdraw from the presidential race because he is unfit to lead, because his views are inconsistent with the United States Constitution."
In the name of tolerance, says CAIR, we cannot tolerate Carson.
And what does the Constitution say?
"[N]o religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."
But Carson did not say no Muslim could serve. He said he would not advocate having a Muslim as president, that Islamic beliefs are inconsistent with the U.S. Constitution.
Is he wrong?
Or is it now impermissible to question a candidate's beliefs about God, man, and the state, and about whether his religious convictions might affect his conduct in office?
A man's religion is a part of who he is. While not an infallible guide to what he will do, it is often a reliable road map.
If Mormons still championed polygamy and declared that blacks could not be Mormons, would it be illegitimate to raise that issue?
Should a Quaker who believes in "turning the other cheek" not be pressed on whether his faith disqualifies him to be commander in chief?
If an Evangelical running for president believes the "end times" are at hand, would it be un-American to ask of the Armageddonite if his religious beliefs might affect his decision on war in the Middle East?
Islam means "submission." And a believing, practicing, devout Muslim believes in submission to the teachings of the Prophet.
That means not only following the dietary laws and fasting during Ramadan, but adhering to the tenets of Islam on the modesty of dress in women, praying five times a day to Mecca, and treating false faiths like Christianity as the great heresies that they are.
Anyone recall a collective protest from the Islamic world when that Afghan convert to Christianity was facing an executioner's ax?
Islam instructs its adherents not only on how to live their lives, but also how to organize their society.
Is Sharia consistent with the U.S. Constitution? Would not a Muslim presidential candidate have to reject Sharia for America, i.e, apostatize? And what is the penalty for apostasy in the Quran?
Would it violate the spirit of the Constitution to ask of a Muslim candidate whether he agrees with the Quran on the proper punishment for homosexuals, adulterers and thieves?
From the Maghreb to the Middle and Near East, in almost every society where Islam is the dominant faith, repression appears the rule.
Of the near 50 nations where Islam is the majority religion, where is the constitutional republic that resembles our own?
Carson says he would not support turning the armed forces of the United States over to a follower of a faith whose co-religionists have produced the modern Middle East. Why is that bigotry? Is Islam wholly disconnected to the horrors transpiring there?
Islam has bloody borders, observed Dr. Samuel Huntington. Of the ugliest terrorist organizations of which we daily read — Boko Haram, al-Qaida, ISIS, the al-Nusra Front, al-Shabaab — are not most of them proudly Muslim?
Given the sectarian war between the Shiites led by Iran and the Sunni led by the Saudis, would it violate the Constitution to ask our Muslim presidential candidate to which of these two he belonged?
Dr. Russell Kirk called ideology "political religion."
Atheists who embraced the political religion of Marxism-Leninism created the Stalinist Empire. Atheist Germans who embraced National Socialism as the state religion produced the Third Reich. And Islamists created Sudan, Saudi Arabia and the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Undeniably, Muslims have proven to be good American patriots, as did the Christians and the Jews who came before them.
But in Europe today, we see hundreds of thousands of Muslims pouring in, adding to the millions there, and they are all not assimilating.
Those elites who say they would be fine with a Muslim president are probably dissembling. Because that is the politically correct thing to say; it makes them feel superior; and no such candidate is in sight.
Indeed, the same elites who call it outrageous that Carson said a Muslim should not be president are the first and loudest to decry any suggestion that our current president is a Muslim.
Liberals like the idea of a Muslim president — in the abstract.

"Our students don't just make things with emerging technologies - they think creatively and critically about how, why, and when we should use and engage with these ideas and tools - and when we should not. The artworks, prototypes, demonstrations, and performances bring this research to life in a rich interactive format. We invite our colleagues from industry, fellow universities, art, design, and maker communities to come join us for this important and exciting exhibition."
- Kate Hartman, Graduate Program Director, Digital Futures
This event is presented by:
Graduate Studies at OCAD University and CFC Media Lab
Please join the Digital Futures Undergraduate Program for the Second Annual Meet the Digital Futures event!
Meet the Digital Futures is an opportunity for students and faculty from the Digital Futures program and the greater OCAD community to engage with the thesis projects created by this year's graduating undergraduate cohort. This informal exhibition includes the launch of the websites created by each of the students and the works created as part of their thesis.
This event is co-hosted by the Digital Futures Undergraduate Program and the Centre for Emerging Artists & Designers.
This talk by Dr. Alexis Morris will introduce the need for a more human-centered focus in the development of smart, ubiquitous systems and highlights the opportunity to improve the bandwidth between system software and the people that it supports every day.
About Dr. Alexis Morris:
Dr. Alexis Morris is an assistant professor in the Digital Futures program at OCAD University, and the Canada Research Chair (Tier II) in the Internet of Things. He is the director of the Adaptive Context Environments (ACE) Lab, where his team spearheads core research in adaptive interfaces and collaborative approaches to smart context-aware environments, for a host of domains, advancing the Internet of Things. He is a computer scientist, specializing in the overlapping research domain of software engineering for adaptive systems based on the incorporation of fuzzy human-factors in socio-technical systems, bridging a cross-section of approaches in artificial intelligence (i.e., soft-computing via neural networks and fuzzy logic), virtual and augmented reality, passive brain-computer interfaces, adaptive risk management, multi-agent systems modelling, organizational culture simulations, and pervasive technologies.
What is the Internet of Things (IoT)?
Simply put, the "things" in Internet of Things are the everyday objects in your house, only hooked up to the internet. It's really that simple. So think a thermostat that can be controlled from an app on your smartphone (handy on those cold winter mornings) or a coffee maker that switches itself on when it can tell you've gotten out of bed (Source: Cloudwards.net).
Research Wednesdays
Human-Centered IoT: Designing for the Human-in-the-Loop is a part of Research Wednesdays speaker series presented by the OCAD U Library. It's a forum for anyone (undergrad, or graduate students, staff, or faculty) to present in a casual, supportive environment about research activities, collections and more. We apply a broad definition of research which includes a variety of activities within the domains of art, design, libraries and archives. This event is open to all members of the OCAD U community as well as the general public.
Do you have a research experience that you would love to share with us? Contact Daniel Payne at (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Opening Night: February 1st, 5-8PM (RSVP here: https://dfopenshow2019.eventbrite.ca)
Additional Open Hours: Saturday, February 2nd, 1-5PM
The collection of work presented is intended to represent a survey of current ideas, concepts, themes, theories, tools, techniques, and trends being explored by the Digital Futures community. We're excited to continue with the exhibition.
OPEN comes from the fact that this call is open to our whole community. The show will include works from current Digital Futures undergraduate students, graduate students AND faculty. Works include physical computing prototypes, data visualizations, digital entertainment, games, wearable technology, and interactive installations. For anyone who has asked the question "What IS Digital Futures anyway?" - we're hoping this exhibition will continue to provide some answers.
This event is free and open to the public, We look forward to seeing you there!

Associate Professor Emma Westecott has written a chapter entitled "Feminism and Gameplay Performance" which has been published in the edited collection Feminism In Play by Palgrave Games in Context.
About the Book:
"Feminism in Play focuses on women as they are depicted in video games, as participants in games culture, and as contributors to the games industry. This volume showcases women's resistance to the norms of games culture, as well as women's play and creative practices both in and around the games industry. Contributors analyze the interconnections between games and the broader societal and structural issues impeding the successful inclusion of women in games and games culture. In offering this framework, this volume provides a platform to the silenced and marginalized, offering counter-narratives to the post-racial and post-gendered fantasies that so often obscure the violent context of production and consumption of games culture."

Afrooz holds a B.Sc. degree in Geomatics Engineering and will graduate this June from the Master of Design, Digital Futures program. Afrooz has professional experience in data and visual analytics and tutoring mathematics. Her passion for empowering younger generations with STEM skills motivated her to develop a series of math education video games for her master's thesis, which focuses on learning abstract symbolic mathematics through video games.
Parabolas and the Town is a math educational video game that targets high school students. The goal is to help players better understand an abstract mathematical concept by connecting it to a concrete situation. The problems embedded in the game illustrate how certain abstract concepts gain meaning within a game world and provide a scenario where students are required to dig into their knowledge of algebra and put it into practice in order to be able to solve the game's challenges.

Sports And Pregnancy HELP
Hi everyone, I am 6 weeks along and there is a big softball tournament me and my friends get into every year. I really want to play in it, but so far I've only seen negative responses to playing sports while being pregnant. It's hard--Softball/soccer in the summers and hockey in the winter. I would like to at least play a little softball. Any suggestions or help? Thank you!
I was told that softball was definetly a no. With the prospect of the ball hitting you in the stomach, to a runner blasting into you, to you tripping while you are running. I personally would stop softball until your little bean is here.
I don't know if this will help, but I play tennis and asked my doctor how long I could keep it up. She said for about five months (I'm 17weeks now) since my ligaments will start to get loose and it will increase my chances of falling. I play singles and doubles, so I've worried about getting hit in the stomach when I'm at the net by a fast moving ball. It hasn't happened and my doctor didn't seem concerned. BUT this was from my doctor, you should consult yours just in case.
I know, I'm going to get yelled at for this one, esp. since Im in the medical field, but I, much like you, am addicted to softball, and couldn't just "sit out" this summer, while prego. I played until I was 5 months! I didn't know I was pregnant early on, due to some bleeding, so i was even sliding and playing rough ball until i was around 8 weeks or so... Once, I found out, i become much more causious of my surroundings, but still played compet_tive ball. I started "showing" around 5 months, so the Dr. told me, that I needed to be done, which was fine, because the season was ending that next weekend... Moral of story, I did it, I'm 30 weeks and 3 days, my baby is healthy as a horse, 87th percentile in size, and going to be a bouncing baby boy!!! Just choose your battles wisely, and be tenative. I wouldn't suggest playing soccer or Hockey, since those can be "more physical" contact sports.

Allocating memory isn't always the easiest thing to do, and while Rust generally takes care of this by default it often becomes necessary to customize how allocation occurs. The compiler and standard library currently allow switching out the default global allocator in use at compile time. The design is currently spelled out in RFC 1183 but this will walk you through how to get your own allocator up and running.
The compiler currently ships two default allocators:
alloc_system and
alloc_jemalloc (some targets don't have jemalloc, however). These allocators
are normal Rust crates and contain an implementation of the routines to
allocate and deallocate memory. The standard library is not compiled assuming
either one, and the compiler will decide which allocator is in use at
compile-time depending on the type of output artifact being produced.
Binaries generated by the compiler will use
alloc_jemalloc by default (where
available). In this situation the compiler "controls the world" in the sense of
it has power over the final link. Primarily this means that the allocator
decision can be left up the compiler.
Dynamic and static libraries, however, will use
alloc_system by default. Here
Rust is typically a 'guest' in another application or another world where it
cannot authoritatively decide what allocator is in use. As a result it resorts
back to the standard APIs (e.g.
malloc and
free) for acquiring and releasing
Although the compiler's default choices may work most of the time, it's often necessary to tweak certain aspects. Overriding the compiler's decision about which allocator is in use is done simply by linking to the desired allocator:#![feature(alloc_system)] extern crate alloc_system; fn main() { let a = Box::new(4); // allocates from the system allocator println!("{}", a); }
#![feature(alloc_system)] extern crate alloc_system; fn main() { let a = Box::new(4); // allocates from the system allocator println!("{}", a); }
In this example the binary generated will not link to jemalloc by default but instead use the system allocator. Conversely to generate a dynamic library which uses jemalloc by default one would write:#![feature(alloc_jemalloc)] #![crate_type = "dylib"] extern crate alloc_jemalloc; pub fn foo() { let a = Box::new(4); // allocates from jemalloc println!("{}", a); } fn main() {}
#![feature(alloc_jemalloc)] #![crate_type = "dylib"] extern crate alloc_jemalloc; pub fn foo() { let a = Box::new(4); // allocates from jemalloc println!("{}", a); }
Sometimes even the choices of jemalloc vs the system allocator aren't enough and
an entirely new custom allocator is required. In this you'll write your own
crate which implements the allocator API (e.g. the same as
alloc_system or
alloc_jemalloc). As an example, let's take a look at a simplified and
annotated version of
// The compiler needs to be instructed that this crate is an allocator in order // to realize that when this is linked in another allocator like jemalloc should // not be linked in #![feature(allocator)] #![allocator] // Allocators are not allowed to depend on the standard library which in turn // requires an allocator in order to avoid circular dependencies. This crate, // however, can use all of libcore. #![no_std] // Let's give a unique name to our custom allocator #![crate_name = "my_allocator"] #![crate_type = "rlib"] // Our system allocator will use the in-tree libc crate for FFI bindings. Note // that currently the external (crates.io) libc cannot be used because it links // to the standard library (e.g. `#![no_std]` isn't stable yet), so that's why // this specifically requires the in-tree version. #![feature(libc)] extern crate libc; // Listed below are the five allocation functions currently required by custom // allocators. Their signatures and symbol names are not currently typechecked // by the compiler, but this is a future extension and are required to match // what is found below. // // Note that the standard `malloc` and `realloc` functions do not provide a way // to communicate alignment so this implementation would need to be improved // with respect to alignment in that aspect. #[no_mangle] pub extern fn __rust_allocate(size: usize, _align: usize) -> *mut u8 { unsafe { libc::malloc(size as libc::size_t) as *mut u8 } } #[no_mangle] pub extern fn __rust_deallocate(ptr: *mut u8, _old_size: usize, _align: usize) { unsafe { libc::free(ptr as *mut libc::c_void) } } #[no_mangle] pub extern fn __rust_reallocate(ptr: *mut u8, _old_size: usize, size: usize, _align: usize) -> *mut u8 { unsafe { libc::realloc(ptr as *mut libc::c_void, size as libc::size_t) as *mut u8 } } #[no_mangle] pub extern fn __rust_reallocate_inplace(_ptr: *mut u8, old_size: usize, _size: usize, _align: usize) -> usize { old_size // this api is not supported by libc } #[no_mangle] pub extern fn __rust_usable_size(size: usize, _align: usize) -> usize { size }
After we compile this crate, it can be used as follows:extern crate my_allocator; fn main() { let a = Box::new(8); // allocates memory via our custom allocator crate println!("{}", a); }
extern crate my_allocator; fn main() { let a = Box::new(8); // allocates memory via our custom allocator crate println!("{}", a); }
There are a few restrictions when working with custom allocators which may cause compiler errors:
Any one artifact may only be linked to at most one allocator. Binaries, dylibs, and staticlibs must link to exactly one allocator, and if none have been explicitly chosen the compiler will choose one. On the other hand rlibs do not need to link to an allocator (but still can).
A consumer of an allocator is tagged with
#![needs_allocator] (e.g. the
liballoc crate currently) and an
#[allocator] crate cannot transitively
depend on a crate which needs an allocator (e.g. circular dependencies are not
allowed). This basically means that allocators must restrict themselves to
libcore currently.

Well, after much tugging at the right ear, she's going for a redo Thursday when the M's host Texas. Lennox will toss out the first pitch. And hopefully this attempt will resemble baseball. "I actually was afraid I would break his nose, but then thought, 'This is a professional, he can handle it,'" said Lennox earlier this month of her faux pas last time on the mound. "No, I pitched it like I was shooting a three-pointer. But I've got to be able to do my best, and that wasn't it. Now, I can think baseball instead of basketball and give it all I've got." Comments

What's the easiest way to get more out of life?
If you ask us, it comes down to giving yourself the opportunity to experience new places, cultures and people.
We all know how easy it can be to get into a routine – or worse, a rut.
But when you have an experience outside of that routine, you realize that there's much more to life than simply checking off the things on your daily to-do list.
That's why, here at World Financial Seminars, we offer our Members the opportunity to revel in the "bucket list" experiences they have had, all while enjoying the company of like-minded travelers and gaining financial insights to help fund these travels.
The past few months have been packed with trips, tours and seminars.
In October, our Members had the chance to take part in a once-in-a-lifetime tour of France and Monaco…
A few short days later, The Oxford Club hosted its first ever Beyond Wealth Series event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City focusing on investing in fine art and collectibles…
And most recently, a select group of Members was invited to join us on a cultural expedition to experience the hidden treasures and charms of Cuba.
In this month's issue of The Panorama, you will discover insights from each of these events… as well as details on those coming up in the months ahead.
We encourage you to invest in yourself and join us at one of our future events!

"Paris Is Always a Good Idea…" – Audrey Hepburn
An Afterword: The Oxford Club's
Financial Discovery Tour
October 10-18, 2015 | France and Monaco
In October, The Oxford Club's Chief Investment Strategist Alexander Green and Event Director Steven King had the great pleasure of hosting 42 Oxford Voyager Club Members on a nine-day Financial Discovery Tour of France and Monaco led by European travel and lifestyle expert Fritz Satran.
We'd love to take a moment to share with you Alex's account of the highlights from this trip (and be sure to check out Alex's photos from the trip at the end of this issue of The Panorama)…
Dear Member,Â
I just returned from The Oxford Club's nine-day Financial Discovery Tour of France and Monaco, and wanted to share a few highlights with you.Â
I joined the group Saturday at the beautiful InterContinental Paris Le Grand. There we exchanged greetings and headed out for the evening. Our guide, the estimable Fritz Satran – whose Oxford Club tours have become legendary – arranged for a welcome cocktail reception at the Musée du Parfum, the former private home of opera star Maria Callas.Â
After an hour of champagne and camaraderie, we departed for Montmartre, a historic district in the northern section of the city. We wound through crowded streets, enjoyed the local Saturday night fanfare and then took the funicular up to a quaint French restaurant, Au Clair de la Lune.Â
Fritz didn't just obtain a room or large section of the restaurant. He reserved the whole thing. That allowed us to eat, drink and carry on for several hours without drawing the ire of anyone expecting a quiet evening out.Â
The following day we held the first of two financial sessions. I kicked things off with a survey of the investment landscape in the U.S., arguing that things aren't nearly as pessimistic as many believe. I pointed to low inflation, zero interest rates, an improving economy, the strong dollar, rebounding home prices, cheap energy and near-record corporate profits.Â
Robert Vrijhof, president of Weber Hartmann Vrijhof & Partners, made the case for investing in Switzerland and the Swiss franc. And Thomas Fischer, lead consultant to ENR Asset Management, laid out the pros and cons of diversifying assets offshore.Â

An Afterword: The Oxford Club's Beyond Wealth Series:
Investing in Fine Art and Collectibles
October 19-20, 2015
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City
Last month, Club Members had the chance to join The Oxford Club's Executive Director Julia Guth at a VIP event in New York City. This unique seminar in our Club's Beyond Wealth Series focused on investing in the top alternative asset sectors of fine art and collectibles.Â
The idea was to create a one-stop shop of the world's premier experts in the various sectors of the collectibles and fine art markets… focusing on the sectors that have proven to outperform the S&P over the last 10 years or more and are expected to do the same going forward.
Our seminar took place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and our guests were welcomed by longtime friend of The Oxford Club and new Met President Dr. Daniel Weiss.
In his welcome message, he likened the Met to a university, with its 21 knitted-together buildings and 6 acres of skylights! Dr. Weiss added (with a smile) that with its $300 million yearly budget and $3 billion endowment, the museum is better funded than some of the universities he attended.
Dr. Weiss gave our group a great retrospective on art and its significance over time. Dan believes that one of the main purposes of the Met – and all museums that preserve and protect works reflecting human civilization – is to enhance empathy for all humanity. Reminding us that the 20th century had the greatest rise of art and literature in human history… while pointing out that the same time period was the most peaceful in human history.
In addition, attendees had the opportunity to hear from several premier experts from around the world – including Geoff Anandappa, Keith Heddle and Richard Gladdle from Stanley Gibbons Ltd., who specialize in rare stamps, coins, historical documents and memorabilia… chief executive of The Fine Art Fund Group Philip Hoffman… rare books expert Max Hasler… contemporary Latin American art expert Suzanne Snider… principal at Sciens Capital and colored diamond expert Alex Loucopoulos… and CEO of Vinous and noted wine expert Antonio Galloni.
Here's a short summary from Julia on this event…
The bottom line…
Well-heeled investors are attracted to this tricky market… not just because it has posted huge returns over time and is noncorrelated to U.S. equities… but also because it pays "emotional dividends." It's the one investment you can truly fall in love with.
How do you confidently invest in a risky market?
What we heard repeatedly in New York is, you should become a passionate learner of the specific market that interests you. You do your own research, but also find the best specialists for that segment. Which is why I brought in these top experts from Europe and the U.S.
Many of the attendees at the meeting were concerned about traditional investments in the stock market. After a nearly seven-year bull market in stocks… noncorrelated alternative investments are looking much more appealing to these Members. But as we discovered at the meeting, alternative investments and rare collectibles have been excellent performers on their own.
So if you're interested, don't wait. Like the stock market… trying to time your entry is a fool's game. Our experts all advised to start small with investments that appeal to you.
A Once-in-a-Lifetime Journey to Experience the Hidden Treasures and Mysterious Charms of Cuba
An Afterword: The Oxford Club's Cultural Expedition to Cuba
November 6-15, 2015 | Havana, Cuba
"The city of Havana is fascinating and at times beautiful. Buildings that were at one time works of art are crumbling. Many appear unfit to be lived in, yet several families call them home. The lack of money and supplies to fix these once glorious structures is heartbreaking.
"When you do see a building that has been restored, it is quite striking. If the Cuban government was able to magically restore most of the buildings, it would be one of the prettiest cities in the world."
– Marc Lichtenfeld, Chief Income Strategist
A few short weeks ago, The Oxford Club's Chief Income Strategist Marc Lichtenfeld, World Financial Seminars Executive Director Heather Phillips and a small group of Oxford Club Members returned from a behind-the-scenes trip to Cuba.
Of course, the first question we got from our Members about this trip was, "Are there investment opportunities in Cuba?"
We tasked Marc with helping our guests answer that question, but he told us the response isn't a simple yes or no.
Rather than looking to Cuba as a place to invest right now, he suggested you go to simply experience the unique country and the culture.
He remembers fondly, "Cuba exceeded my expectations in many ways."
According to both Marc and Heather, the people were friendly, intelligent and open. The food was excellent. And the various experts and regular Cubans our guests got to meet along the way gave everyone a better understanding of the politics of the island.
Our group also had several wonderful cultural experiences. On their first night, they had the chance to watch a jazz quartet headed by professor Alberto Faya, who talked to everyone about the music he played. The quartet featured keyboardist Luis Pacheco, whose blazing-fast hands and pure joy impressed everyone. He is one of the world's up-and-coming pianists.
The next day's performance by the Irene Rodriguez Dance Company was equally as moving as the music from the evening before. Rodriguez and her company will play Radio City Music Hall in 2016.
Visits to organic farm Finca Agroecológica El ParaÃso in Vinales as well as a cigar-rolling demonstration were favorites among the group, as was the walking tour of Havana.
There is no substitute for getting out in the streets and experiencing a new country and its people. That being said, the speakers who presented to our group were also incredibly informative.
University of Havana professor and economist Juan Triana not only gave our guests a history lesson on the country, but also explained that Cuba could be considered an example of "new socialism," where they keep free healthcare and education, but have more open markets. He said he would like to see Cuba emulate Norway.
Another speaker, Thomson Reuters reporter Mark Frank, echoed professor Triana's sentiment. Frank, who has lived in Cuba for over 20 years, said that under communism, everyone is equal. Under socialism, everyone has equal opportunity, and that's where Cuba is eventually going.
There were also several energetic conversations between our group's Cuban-American tour guide, Oscar, and other presenters who gave our guests insight into Cuban politics and life that they wouldn't have had otherwise.
To sum it all up, Marc says, "Visiting Cuba was an incredible adventure that was only made better by the openness and exchange of ideas between the experts, our guides and the travelers in our group. It was exactly what I'd hope to experience in this very complex country."

The Best Buying Opportunity Since 2009?
The Oxford Club's 18th Annual Investment U Conference
April 13-16, 2016 | The Park Hyatt Aviara | Carlsbad, California
Year after year – for the past 17 years – we have watched the ideas shared at our Annual Investment U Conference turn into tremendous profit opportunities.Â
In fact, over the years, the plays shared at this closed-door event could have helped attendees score gains as high as 303% on Wynn Resorts, 155% on E-House (China) Holdings, 84% on General Electric, 275% on Tiffany, 103% on Cerner Corp. and 129% on Millicom International… the list goes on.Â
And at our 2015 event, attendees had the chance to score huge double- and triple-digit gains on 55 of the recommendations we made.Â
Here's the best part: We're confident our upcoming 18th Annual Investment U Conference will be even better…
You see, right now, many energy and commodities companies are trading at all-time lows – or very close to it.
But the same could be said of the Dow back in March of 2009. Stocks dropped to 6,600 points. And many investors made the mistake of going to cash. Since then, stocks have risen 158%.
Right now, our team of strategists – including Alexander Green, Marc Lichtenfeld, Matthew Carr, Sean Brodrick, David Fessler and Steve McDonald – believes that we may look back at this moment the same way we look back at the stock market of March 2009.
And they've found several bargains rising from this coming new supercycle in commodities and energy that they can't wait to share with you.
They'll reveal all of these moneymaking recommendations and research at our 18th Annual Investment U Conference at the Park Hyatt Aviara in Carlsbad, California, this coming April 13-16.
In total, you'll hear from over two dozen experts. These include our team as well as several noted guest speakers such as Jim Rickards, Karim Rahemtulla, Marin Katusa, John Hofmeister, Dan Ferris and Rick Rule.
Plus, you'll have the chance to participate in several special events, such as our welcome reception that will allow you to connect with the speakers and fellow attendees. (Please note speakers are unable to offer personalized investment advice.)
This could very well be the most life-changing and retirement-altering trip you take in your lifetime. We hope to see you there!

Member Spotlight
Here at World Financial Seminars, we truly value the loyalty you have shown our programs. That's why we've decided to turn the spotlight on you! We hope you enjoy this interview with two of our wonderful travelers, Timothy and Teresita Gray.
Timothy and Teresita Gray Oxford Club Members Since 1993
Steven King: Can you tell us about the first trip you took with The Oxford Club?
Timothy Gray: Yes. As far as trips go, that would have been the Vienna- Salzburg trip with Fritz. Before we started going on the tours, though, we would go to conferences.
Steven King: That was our 2010 trip with Alex and Keith Fitz-Gerald. Do you have any fond memories of traveling with people like Alex and Keith?
Timothy Gray: Well, for Keith, it was just great to kind of sit down and get to know his story. We know he's married to a Japanese gal. And that his father-in-law had so much trust in him that he actually gave him his Samurai sword, which was a family heirloom. And I think the great part about spending time with Keith was getting to know him as a person and a family man. He's a very down-to-earth guy. When you read newsletters, you end up idolizing the editors. They're not human until you have the chance to travel with them.
And with Alex, I think the fun part was seeing how approachable he is. It was fun getting to know his family. Karen was on that first trip and then his daughter Hannah was on the trip to Istanbul. The other fun thing about Alex I saw on this last trip was that he was always wandering off and getting lost. He is an infinitely curious individual, so it makes the trips a lot more fun too.
And I think this is a little off your question, but I think that being on the trips and having exposure to you and the other staff members who put these trips together helped us develop an appreciation for the dedication and commitment that the people involved in The Oxford Club have to what they're doing.
Steven King: Thank you. I appreciate that. It's very nice of you to say. Now, I know you've been on three trips with us led by European travel and lifestyle expert Fritz Satran and I was wondering if you could tell us what, outside of meeting the editors, has been a highlight for you.
Timothy Gray: I think, for me, the first trip to Salzburg and Vienna was just one highlight after another.
Teresita Gray: I agree. That was one of those trips that just blew us away. To have access to places that are so tough to get to and others that I never even knew existed was so neat. Seeing Mozart's baptismal cathedral… it was just amazing.
Timothy Gray: And of course it's hard to top the Liechtenstein Palace.
Teresita Gray: Oh, and the food! You could just eat and eat and eat. It's amazing. It's like "Oh, my gosh. We get to eat again?" You think you're not hungry but when you see the food, you say, "I guess I've got to have a little bite of this."
Timothy Gray: It's great that you don't have to spend your time worrying about things that most people worry about when they travel. Like how do I get from point A to point B? And how do I get a taxi? And how do I get my luggage? And all of the things that take up a lot of time with traveling. They're all just taken care of for you. And that is worth dividends. And of course this last trip to Paris, we still haven't come down to Earth from that one.
Teresita Gray: The memories of the places and people are great too.
Timothy Gray: The group dynamics were fascinating. It's an interesting group of like-minded people.
Steven King: Our Members have definitely come to expect five-star treatment from us. It's a really big deal and something we strive to offer with every event we plan. I'm curious: Outside of the travel, what has your experience been like with The Oxford Club?
Teresita Gray: We've been Members for a long time, but we actually didn't start investing on the recommendations until Alex took over. We got our toes wet and then saw that, wow, this is really doing good. We love looking at what Alex has to say…
Timothy Gray: And Marc, too. Marc has added a whole new dimension. I've been doing this long enough that I enjoy the information and I learn a lot from it. I don't necessarily act on everything, but Alex's recommendations have been really good.
Steven King: That's great. Thank you again. There are two other questions I'd like to ask before we wrap up. First, is there anywhere you would like us to go that we haven't been yet? Any place on your bucket list we should know about?
Teresita Gray: Ireland and Scotland. We haven't gone to Nicaragua yet, but we'd like to do that too.
Timothy Gray: Yes, Ireland and Scotland.
Steven King: I'll keep that in mind. And is there anything else you'd like to share with our Members today, especially those who have never traveled with us, about what it's like to go on an Oxford Club tour or conference?
Teresita Gray: Do it.
Timothy Gray: Yeah. It's kind of like the Nike slogan. "Just Do It." I would say, bottom line: If Fritz is running the trip, you won't be disappointed. We even contacted his office once on our own and he was able to get us in at a hotel where he likes to stay. Our room was upgraded, too. I couldn't believe it.
And as far as the conferences go, we've always enjoyed the conferences because of the locations. And I would say that for a newbie, yes, definitely go. But when you do, don't try to get everything in. Just go and enjoy yourself. Learn what you can and make some friends. And enjoy the location, wherever it happens to be.
Teresita Gray: Ditto to that.
Steven King: Wonderful. Thank you both so much for taking the time to share your experiences with us and our Members.

Eugene Fitzpatrick, 68, a former Catholic Priest has been convicted of seven counts of indecent assault, four counts of indecency with a child and two counts of buggery against two victims.
On the 25th May 2017, Blackfriars Crown Court heard that Eugene Fitzpatrick assaulted one of his victims, a boy, in Islington and raped another, a boy, at Our Lady St Joseph's Catholic Church in Hackney. The offences were committed in the 1960's, 70's, 80's and 90's.
Fitzpatrick was sentenced to 22 years in prison on the 26th May 2017.
The investigating officers, Detective Constables Lorraine Simpson and Klementina Balint, said: "Eugene Fitzpatrick is a predatory sex offender who abused his position of trust, preying on vulnerable youngsters and subjecting them to horrific sexual abuse over a period of years. In addition to the two known victims in this case, I believe that there may be additional survivors of Fitzpatrick's actions who continue to suffer in silence. I urge anyone who has been abused by Eugene Fitzpatrick to contact police without delay."
They wanted to reassure any victims who decide to come forward, "Specially trained officers will support victims throughout the investigative process and there are a number of additional support pathways that we are able to signpost"
At Jordans we have a specialist team with many years of experience in bringing claims against religious organisations. We would advise anyone affected to report their allegations to the Police. We have helped many victims to recover compensation. No matter how long ago the abuse occurred you may still be able to make a successful claim.

444 F.2d 220
UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee,
Francis Xavier KILDAY, Defendant-Appellant.
No. 71-1195.
United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
June 28, 1971.
Edward J. Witten, Jacksonville, fla. (court-appointed), for defendant-appellant.
John L. Briggs, U.S. Atty., Rudy Hernandez, Asst. U.S. Atty., Jacksonville, Fla., for plaintiff-appellee.
Before COLEMAN, SIMPSON and RONEY, Circuit Judges.
Sometime during the night of January 8, 1969, $363,051.13 disappeared from the vaults of the Barnett Bank Facility at the United States Naval Air Station in Jacksonville, Florida. Most of the money was later recovered in San Antonio, Texas, and in Argentina.
Francis Xavier Kilday now appeals his conviction, after a jury trial, of violations of 18 U.S.C. 2113(b), 18 U.S.C. 2314, and 18 U.S.C. 371, statutes dealing with theft from a federally insured bank, transportation of the proceeds of such a theft, and conspiracy in connection with such offenses. Kilday was sentenced to serve a maximum of ten years, with credit for nineteen months spent under incarceration in Argentina.
The evidence of guilt, except for the testimony of appellant's brother, John J. Kilday, directly implicating him, was altogether circumstantial. Since John Kilday at appellant's trial repudiated portions of his earlier statement to agents of the FBI as faction, appointed counsel for Kilday earnestly urges, in brief and on oral argument, that the evidence was insufficient to support the conviction.
Our appraisal of the record, however, is that there was proof which pointed inexorably to guilt, if the jury chose to believe it. The Jury so decided, and the judgment is

This update of a story originally published April 9 corrects the name of the mutual fund that earns a sell rating.
BOSTON (MarketWatch) -- Thurman Smith, editor of the Equity Fund Outlook newsletter, says that investors need to be patient and give new management time to show that it can run a fund rather than leaving just because there has been a management change.
In a radio interview with Chuck Jaffe, MarketWatch senior columnist, Smith said that changes in individual managers or management companies force investors to view the fund "as a buyer would," putting it through higher standards to make sure they want to stick around.
That's why he suggested holding Harbor International HIINX, +0.78% despite predicting that a management change could be imminent and advised selling Wells Fargo Advantage Small-Mid-Cap Value. SMMVX Smith says the Wells Fargo Advantage Mid-Cap Disciplined Investor SMCDX, which once was part of the Strong family of funds, is a hold for investors who own it in a tax-advantaged account such as an IRA.
Smith also suggested buying Janus Overseas JAOSX, +1.00% and Janus Contrarian JSVAX, +0.30%, Fidelity International Real Estate FIREX, +0.63%, Alpine Dynamic Dividend ADVDX, +0.74% and Manning & Napier Pro Blend Max Term EXHAX, +0.73%.
Listen to the highlights of Your Money with Chuck Jaffe.
And Jeff Knight, portfolio leader for the Putnam Asset Allocation Growth fund, said that the stock market has "passed the peak of this earnings cycle," and is moving to a point where "the unanimous nature of the market will change." That will put a premium on stock-picking and asset allocation because investors will no longer find that virtually every asset class is in positive territory.
Listen to the interview with Knight.
