There is more to be said for Confessional than first appears and the production by Jack Silver, with a very talented cast and creative team, gives it back a rigour and shape that were not so apparent in the original.
This ninety-minute play was first performed in 1970 and has had few revivals since, partly because it was extended to become a larger work, Small Craft Warnings. It belongs to what Tennessee Williams himself referred to as his 'Stoned Age', the decade or so after The Night of the Iguana, in which the writer's productivity continued apace, but where by and large the dramaturgy declined and the same themes, tropes and characters came around again on a carousel that seemed to retain energy but little fresh imagination.
However, there is more to be said for this play than first appears, and the present production by Jack Silver, with a very talented cast and creative team, gives it back a rigour and shape that were not so apparent in the original. It was originally seen in Edinburgh in 2015.
As the title suggests the play sets up a series of encounters and confrontations between eight characters in a seedy seaside bar, and over the course of the evening each role has a confessional moment, a long monologue in which their innermost concerns and anguish are laid bare. In this sense it is rather like a chamber opera in which there are a variety of arias and ensemble moments interspersed.
The major coup in this production is to take the original text more or less as it is and transfer the action from the Atlantic seaboard in the 1950s to Southend-on-Sea in the here and now. Florida gives way to Essex. This is not as bizarre as appears at first sight. We are dealing with a group of trailer-park regulars washing up of an evening at the same dingy watering hole and then in their cups the truth spills out. That is a universal or at least readily transferable dramatic format, and given our general exposure to soap operas, any implausibility about this collection of oddities appearing in the same space is readily suspended.
Rather in the same way as in the late Arthur Miller's Danger:Memory!, this is a play where the strengths of the writer's professionalism are still very much present but alongside elements of routine and formulaic writing that would not have survived self-scrutiny in the playwright's glory years. There are examples of exceptionally beautiful poetic monologues that blur the lines of reality and surrealism. There is the evocation of the outsider as truth teller and catalyst to the vices of the community, here embodied in the figure of travelling beautician Leona (Lizzie Stanton). There are some tautly constructed, fierce arguments of considerable Southern Gothic power and venom. However, there are also some characters that are lazily underdeveloped and other areas where the writing is clearly dated and slack.
One example is in the handling of homosexuality. Although this play was novel at the time in offering Williams' first essay at an openly gay character, these elements are conditioned by 1950s codes that no longer have much purchase on reality. Of course homophobia is very much with us, but the discourses of public abuse and gay self-hatred take different forms now from those that Williams himself inhabited. It is one of those cases where the writer's self-conscious desire to be radical has ironically been turned reactionary by later history.
The creative team have relocated the audience within the performance space in a deliberately immersive strategy that is commendable in its carefully considered detail. The smaller space at Southwark Playhouse becomes Monk's Place, a down-at-heel pub on the Essex coast: faded embossed scarlet wallpaper, a scatter of bland, local framed prints hanging askew, a carpet with geological layers of detritus trodden into it, a few tatty, officious health & notices, and chunky, clunky pub furniture. Above the bar presides a stuffed sailfish casting a leery eye over proceedings below.
The meticulous detail with which Justin Williams has created this set commands respect, and the idea of making the audience punters in the midst of the fray with cast members mingling there from start to finish does create a spectacular immediacy, albeit at the occasional expense of sightlines. The subdued lighting scheme by Jack Weir also helps to intensify the general dinginess and gloom, and Katy Clark's costumes have the right blend of carelessly worn grimy working clothes and Chavvy-chic.
It is the hallmark of the Tramp company to leave elements of the production open to improvisation, so while the text is fixed, movement and the degree of extreme emoting vary from night to night. On press night Stanton was relatively restrained in the lead role, but it is still a towering performance as she gets gradually more drunk, maudlin and abusive as the evening progresses, with little islands of empathy with some of the characters along the way. It is a peach of a part for a bravura actor, and she grasps every moment of the action and sucks out all the juice.
The other characters gravitate warily around her, all equally damaged or defeated by life, but unlike her, unwilling to move on and make a new start. The characters to whom she is closest are those who also experience the most abuse and are the most unable to look after themselves. There is poor mentally ill Violet, (Simone Somers-Yeates), beautifully played here in a wan downward spiral of barely comprehending despair, with copious tears only ever one put-down away. Also in the firing line is Bill (Gavin Brocker) the latest in Williams' long line of lazy, vaguely thuggish, deplorable boyfriends, whose only recommendation is his sexual prowess. It is quite a thankless role to play, more reactive than energetic, but Brocker takes his moments well.
More in the background are the two downtrodden men who run Monk's place, Monk himself (Raymond Bethley), a put-upon well-meaning type with a dark past and very incorrect views; and the chef Steve (Rob Ostlere), sullen, devoid of aspiration or hope and little better in his treatment of women than swaggering Bill. These characterisations are finely calibrated by the actors, and serve as a reminder of just how good Williams always was in creating real people out of fragmented, stunted characters damaged by life who are neither simplistically good nor bad.
Also in this category is a drunken doctor (Abi McLoughlin), an excellent study in alcoholic self-degradation and immiseration. The subject of mockery and disdain by a jealous Leona, the doctor is another example of a type we have seen before in Williams: a professional who allows her personal self-hatred to leach into her work with catastrophic results for all concerned. This role is potentially one of the most interesting in the play, but sadly it is only in the closing pages that she comes into her own. Least successful are the gay characters, mis-allied Quentin (Tim Harker) and Bobby (Jack Archer), whose parts seem more programmatic than truly imagined, despite the best efforts of the actors to lift the lines from the page.
This is not a neglected masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination, but it shows how deft Williams could still be even when slowed down by self-punishment and desire for oblivion. The play by itself would not garner four stars, but the consistently thoughtful and imaginative playing and production values elevate the evening to that level of achievement.

MEP Allowances
You will often read in the press pretty lurid tales of how much MEPs get paid "no questions asked" etc. on our "lavish gravy train lifestyle". The story will always present the information in a way that suggests all my office budgets are somehow part of my salary. In this section I list the truth of it, without fuss, without hype, without the intrigue you'll so often be led to believe exists. It is a little complicated, and I have tried to summarise masses of complex rules but, to the best of my knowledge, this is a decent summary of how it works. If I've missed anything out it was to try and keep it comprehensible, and I'll happily answer questions as best I can.
Below I also outline how I run my office. In order to do my job I have a permanent team of four people, travel a great deal and live away from home roughly three nights a week. My job is to be available to the whole of Scotland, and to cover the whole of the output of the European Union. This is a busy operation. I hope that I will get some credit for being upfront about the whole business. Since I was elected I have argued and campaigned for maximum transparency, and the system is changing, albeit slowly.
The SNP has long campaigned for transparency and accountability, the Campaign for Parliament Reform has always had SNP support and the Scottish Parliament is an international example of best practice in financial transparency. I hope that constituents will read this and at least acknowledge that I have nothing to hide. I'm also tired of the Parliament staff being criticised by people who should know better. The system is far from perfect but there are a lot of good people trying to improve it.
The first distinction to make is between salary, expenses and allowances. My salary is my salary, my expenses are the money I pay then claim back on travel, taxis or daily living expenses, and my allowances are made available to me to pay my staff costs, office rents and costs, and other expenses like paper and phone bills. I deal with each in turn below.
Salary and pension
My salary is the money I receive from the taxpayer in Scotland to do my job. That's mine, except for the £250 each month of my net monthly wage I pay to the SNP because I want to. When I was first elected in 2004 MEPs were paid the same pay as their national counterparts, so MEPs received 25 different salaries depending upon where they came from. In my case, as far as the EU is concerned my "national" counterparts are MPs at Westminster. This system changed at the 2009 election, with returning MEPs being given the choice of opting into the "Member Statute" whereby MEPs would all receive a common salary, paid in euro and subject to an EU tax, or to opt to remain with their existing system (newly elected MEPs did not get a choice). I was unhappy at the idea of paying a different tax to my constituents, so I opted to remain with the old system. Therefore, I receive an annual salary of just over £67,000 a year, in sterling, into my personal bank account along with a payslip through the post. I am also a member of the MP pension fund, and make contributions to that, same as other MPs. All of this is on the public record at Westminster. It is worth pointing out that while I have the same salary and pension as MPs, the allowances and expenses regime is and always was very different. Considering the amount of travel MEPs have to undertake, this is not unreasonable.
"Second" Pension
You may hear about a further pension, which the European Parliament used to run for members. I never signed up to that pension and know little about it.
General expenditure allowance
This is the "office budget" and pays for: office management costs, telephone and postal charges, computer and IT equipment (purchase and maintenance), and any other "office" expenses.
I have an office in Wick and staff in Edinburgh enabling me to cover as much of Scotland as possible as well as an office in Brussels.
The office budget is often criticised in that the Parliament does not require receipts for these expenses, though the Finance Office may well audit it at any time. I am especially careful that this budget is run out of a distinct bank account, and reviewed by a Scottish firm of Chartered Accountants. There are rules as to what the budget can be spent on, guidelines can be found here.
My yearly accounts are published on my website and can be found at the bottom of this page.
Secretarial Assistance Allowance
This is the "staff budget", and as you can guess pays for my staff, my employer taxes and their pension contributions. It also pays for their travel and incidental expenses should they be travelling with work. I have two Brussels-based members of the team, Chief of Staff Laura Rayner, and Foreign Policy Advisor Ciaran Carey. Under the Parliament's rules they are employed directly by the Parliament. In Scotland I have a Senior Policy Advisor, Adam Marks and a Senior Communications Officer, Clyn Gallagher. These are employed directly by me with their salaries, tax and pensions being run by a Scottish firm of Chartered Accountants.
I also have a service contract with Patrick Robertshaw as Graphic Designer & Data Curator.
The Secretarial Assistance Allowance is a maximum of €24,943 per month, part of which is paid to Laura and Ciaran, directly in euro, and part to the firm of Scottish Chartered Accountants for onward payment to the other team members, so this comes nowhere near me.
The Parliament will not pay out anything until the finance office sees an employment contract, identification and proof the staff member is registered for social security, in our case a P45 or P46. Likewise, the finance office will not reimburse travel costs until they see ticket stubs and original hotel invoices, whereupon the real costs incurred will be reimbursed.
This same budget also pays for the accountancy fees and for any further consultant I may choose to employ during the course of my parliamentary term.
I am not related to any of my team.
Annual Travel Allowance
A travel budget is provided by the Parliament to allow me to attend meetings outside of Brussels or Strasbourg or Scotland/the UK where required. As I am a full member of the Foreign Affairs Committee I am required to travel a lot (often to the Middle East).
This budget is this year up to €4,320, and covers expenditure incurred in travelling anywhere in the world in performance of my duties. To claim on this budget the finance office requires receipts, an itinerary, other supporting documents and refunds the actual cost paid by me. This budget runs from January to December, and once spent is exhausted.
My travel and living expenses are run as follows. To keep myself tidy I run a euro bank account in Brussels and a euro credit card onto which I put all my personal costs and claims. Chiefly, this is my hotel, travel and food while I'm away from home. I keep this distinct from my personal money, even though in effect it is, and use this account to cover incidental office expenses.
Travel Expenses
Between Scotland, Brussels and Strasbourg
The Parliament has a travel agent in the building which books travel on our behalf. They book flights regularly from home in Scotland to Brussels or Strasbourg. The travel office book the flights and issue me with an e-ticket, I sign a piece of paper which they pass to the finance office, and when I have taken the flights I pass the original ticket stubs to the finance office, which then pays the invoice. The cost of the flights is the actual cost, and comes nowhere near me.
Additionally, the finance office gives a distance allowance and a time allowance in respect of travel as well as an incidental allowance of €12.74 per trip. These allowances are designed to compensate for time and energy spent travelling, as well as any additional costs like airport parking or airport connections. In my case these work out to an additional €241.86 per return trip to Brussels.
Within Scotland
Within Scotland (or on Parliamentary business within the UK, the member state of election), constituency travel is also paid on an actual cost basis if travelling by bus, train, boat, taxi or plane. I pay for the trip myself, then claim the sum back from the finance office and it is repaid in cash directly to me. Should I be driving, then on submission to the finance office of a claim form detailing the date, destination and distance, I am reimbursed at a rate of 50 cents per kilometre.
Subsistence "Per Diem"
The per diem is to cover my daily expenses of living away from home. It is designed to cover a night in a hotel, taxis and meals and this year is a flat rate of €306 per day for each day of attendance at official meetings of Parliament. I stay in a hotel in Brussels and Strasbourg. Members are only entitled to the subsistence allowance if they are physically present in a meeting and sign the register, so if I am not in town then I cannot claim it.

The Leicester cue man became known as 'The Maximum Man', having apparently made more 147s in practice than any other snooker player. Willie is a familiar character on the snooker circuit too, with fans remembering him as one of the true greats of the game.
Having had a career that required intense focus and coordination, putting his eyes under a lot of strain, he noticed his vision gradually deteriorating. Struggling to enjoy playing the game and itching to return to the table, Willie sought advice from eye care specialist Optical Express.
"After struggling with poor vision for years, I was pleased to discover that I was eligible for Lens Replacement Surgery with Optical Express. I went for an initial consultation, where I was provided with all the information I could ask for and booked in for surgery in May 2018.
Playing snooker for a living meant that I was concentrating for long periods of time, putting tremendous strain on my eyes. My vision began to affect both my career and my performance, which became one of the reasons that I retired from a sport I loved."
Lens Replacement Surgery is a procedure which involves the damaged lens being replaced with a synthetic one. A surgeon will create a miniscule opening in the surface of the eye before the new lens is secured into place.
The surgery can correct both distance and nearer vision, allowing patients to experience sharper and clearer vision for the long term. The surgery has been a success for Willie and his hope is that he will be able to return to the Seniors tour and reignite old rivalries.
Willie concluded: "The service I have received from both my surgeon, Dimitri Kazakos and the staff at Optical Express has been first class and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone who suffers from poor sight or vision related problems."
James Griffin, Surgery Manager at Optical Express Bristol Castlemead said: "It was a pleasure having Willie in for Lens Replacement Surgery and we're delighted that he is happy with the outcome of his surgery. We're excited to see what his next steps will be and look forward to seeing him returning to the Seniors Tour!"
From just one store, since Optical Express opened in 1991 to more than 100 clinics, Optical Express have become the UK's only complete eye care provider.
Success is down to the fact that Optical Express built the company around patients, investing in the latest state-of-the-art optical technology and employing the most experienced surgeons and optometrists so that clinics are centres of excellence. Every member of each team is committed to delivering an outstanding clinical experience, each and every time.

It's the reason deep sea divers go into the business. Years back, salvagers found thousands of pearls buried in a small lead box in the 17th century Spanish galleon Santa Margarita, along with eight gold chains and countless other artifacts. The find is unusual in that the pearls were in excellent condition. Normally, pearls do not hold up well in ocean water, once they've been detached from their mother oyster shell. In this case, however, the pearls were preserved, ironically, by ocean-bottom silt that had shifted into the sealed box over time. The pearls are rare because of their age and their amazingly good condition. To best care for your own pearls, wipe with a soft, damp cloth after use, and store in a cloth or suede pouch, away from other jewelry.

text: Greg Rodriguez - September 23, 2010 AK Excellence By Greg Rodriguez The author's old Arsenal SLR-95 (top) is a fine gun, but the company's newer guns, such as the 7.62 Saiga (bottom), have improved a great deal over the last decade.I first noticed Arsenal's AK-47s in the pages of Shotgun News in the mid-1990s. They looked great, but they cost a bit more than competing AKs. I almost didn't buy one because of the price until I happened across a table full of AKs at a local gun show. In person, the difference in quality between the milled-receiver Arsenal SLR-95 and its competitors was very obvious. I sprung for an SLR-95 that day, and I've never regretted it.A few months ago, I stumbled across Arsenal's website. I was considering adding another AK to my collection, and the company offered several milled- and stamped-receiver guns in 5.45x39, 5.56, and 7.62x39 that looked pretty good. Once again, the Arsenal offerings were a bit more expensive than some of its competitors. To find out why, I called the company and got in touch with sales director Walker English. We had some great conversations about the AK-47 market, some of which were interesting enough that I felt compelled to fly to Las Vegas to visit Arsenal's U.S. factory. According to English, Arsenal's guns start out as complete, brand-new sporting rifles that are then remanufactured into mil-spec rifles in Arsenal's state-of-the-art Las Vegas facility. Unlike some of its competitors' offerings, Arsenal's AKs are not built from shot-out surplus parts kits with a few cheap U.S. parts thrown in for good measure and marked as "New" and "Made in the USA." Every Arsenal offering is actually a brand-new gun with enough USA parts to make them legal. But in Arsenal's case, the U.S.-made parts are even better than the originals.Just to give you an idea of the difference in quality, I examined a brand-new gun from a popular importer/manufacturer who claims its AKs are new and made with U.S.-made barrels and parts. The first thing I noticed was that the inside of the receiver was filthy, and it exhibited an alarming amount of corrosion, despite the fact that I had just removed the "new" gun from its original, dated shipping carton. Arsenal's stamped and milled receivers are new. None exhibits any signs of corrosion or wear, and all are built according to the original blueprints to the tightest possible tolerances rather than reverse-engineered, as many AK companies do. The difference in quality is immediately apparent. As bad as it was, the difference in the receivers was not near as drastic as the disparity in barrel quality. First, the competitor's barrel was not new, as it was advertised to be. Removing the flash hider revealed corrosion and fouling at the end of the barrel and inside the flash hider that was indicative of a very high round count. Worn rifling further belied the rifle's "new"status. Even more alarming was the barrel fit. AK barrels are pressed into place with a hydraulic press. Once they are removed, the barrels should never be re-installed. But this one clearly was, as evidenced by knurling around the chamber area. Knurling raises the metal surface enough for the "manufacturer" to refit used surplus barrels.Arsenal's barrels, on the other hand, are brand new. The tubes are chrome-lined and hammer-forged. (Bulgarian barrels are made with the same process Steyr uses.) They fit right and do not suffer the same headspacing, reliability, and safety woes as their competitors. Flash hiders are solid, milled parts and are devoid of corrosion and fouling. The crowns are also clean and sharp.The inside of the Arsenal AK (left) is clean and of obvious superior quality compared to the inside of a competitor's AK (right). The rivet at the bottom of the Arsenal's frame prevents the trigger slap that is common with other AKs. The Arsenal's bore (left) is smooth and clean, denoting its new condition, whereas the competitor's "new" barrel (right) is corroded and fouled. "New" must mean different things to different people.The triggers are another area in which Arsenal excels. Arsenal uses forged, machined fire control parts built in the U.S. on advanced CNC machines to very tight tolerances for its milled guns. The stamped guns have a nice, two-stage trigger that usually breaks around 8 pounds. The milled guns have an improved single-stage pull that breaks in the 4- to 5-pound range. All have a rivet in the bottom of the receiver that absorbs the impulse of the hammer, thereby eliminating the trigger slap that is common with most AKs.Arsenal's polymer parts are also a cut above. The magazines are steel reinforced in all the right places and easily pass all mil-spec magazine tests. The buttstocks are better fitted and more solidly constructed, and each stock has a trapdoor designed for the standard AK cleaning kit.Arsenal's handguards are rugged and attractive, and a stainless-steel heat shield is fitted into every one. Over the years, several competitors who tried to buy handguards from Arsenal for their own guns asked if they could order them without this essential, inexpensive addition to cut costs. When Arsenal refused, those competitors decided to buy their parts elsewhere. The desire to cut corners and save nickels and dimes at every turn rather than produce a quality rifle seems to be the modus operandi of many AK companies.Despite rumors to the contrary, AK-47s can be accurate. Thanks to the great triggers, tight tolerances, excellent barrels, and laser-calibrated iron sights, Arsenal's AK-47s will shoot with the best of them. According to English, Arsenal gets iron sight accuracy that averages 2 to 3 inches for stamped receiver guns and 1.5 to 2 inches with milled guns.I have fired thousands of rounds through my milled-receiver SLR-95 over the last 15 or so years. Reliability has been as flawless as one would expect from an AK, and the accuracy has been every bit as good as Arsenal claims. Though I've yet to put a scope on it, I can routinely shoot 2- to 3-inch groups with my ghost-ring-sighted AK. As good as my AK is, English claimed that Arsenal's new guns are superior to my old-school SLR-95, so we headed out to the desert near Arsenal's Las Vegas facility with a few of the newest offerings to see if the new guns were as good as he said.I tested the milled-receiver SA M-7R and stamped guns in 7.62, 5.56, and 5.45. I also got to spend some time with the milled, full-auto RPK. All proved very reliable and as well made as every other Arsenal AK I've fired. The full-auto RPK was especially fun, though I had to lean into it and keep my bursts short to ensure solid hits.I didn't get a chance to do any real accuracy testing, as our improvised desert range had no target backers. Instead, we blasted rocks and other targets of opportunity. As has always been my experience with AKs, each came right up on target and hit where I pointed it.Five hundred yards up a rocky bluff, a large boulder caught my eye. I adjusted the AK's sights accordingly and began firing slowly off the hood of the truck at the 3-foot rock. My first two shots were close, and a little fine-tuning of my hold put my third right on the money. From then on, I chipped away at the boulder with every one of the test guns. In every case, I was right on target with the second or third round, and once I found my range, I hit the rock with boring regularity. It wasn't exactly the most scientific accuracy test, but considering the crude AK sights, it was pretty impressive performance.AK buyers have a staggering array of choices. Obviously, Arsenal's AK-47s aren't the only ones on the market, nor are they the only good ones. However, there are a lot more bad AKs than good on the market. Whether you go with Arsenal or one of its competitors, you owe it to yourself to take a close look inside before you buy. GET THE NEWSLETTER Join the List and Never Miss a Thing. Sign Me Up

Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 developer CI Games announced that an open beta for the game will begin on the 3rd of February on PC. In order to join the beta, all you have to do is register through the official website.
The beta gives players access to two single-player missions: 'Cut Off' and 'Blockout'. You can find a summary for each mission below.
Cut Off
The Separatists control a large antenna array, which lets them use satellites to track enemy movements and communicate with distant outposts. Jon needs to infiltrate this compound and manually reposition the dishes to intercept the satellite signal. Gaining access to enemy communications would give Jon and his team a tactical advantage over the enemy, as well as possible intel on his brother, Robert.
Jon's cooperation with the local resistance, the Rotki Lions, gave him the location of one of the targets from his Most Wanted list – a list containing the names of war criminals that Jon can neutralize to bring justice to the people of Georgia. The target is Ivan Krustchev. He's hiding out in an abandoned apartment complex, surrounded by his guards. How will you complete this mission? Will you use your sniper rifle from the opposite building, storm the outpost with your assault rifle, or sneak past the guards and quietly take out your target?
Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 releases on the 4th of April on PS4, Xbox One and PC.

Abraham Yakin was born in 1924 in Jerusalem. During the Second World War he joined the British Navy and served three years in the Mediterranean fleet, thus having a chance to become acquainted with the art treasures in Egypt, Greece, France and Italy. After the war he returned to Jerusalem and became a member of the Haganah Underground Movement. At the same time, he started his artistic training at the Bezalel Academy, where he studied especially with Jacob Steinhardt and Mordecai Ardon.
With Israel's Declaration of Independence, he became a member of the new Israeli Armed Forces. He resumed his studies in 1950, and he had his first exhibition in 1953. In 1957 he married Hannah, an artist who had recently emmigrated from the Netherlands. From that time on the couple divided their time between raising their eight children, teaching art in Jerusalem, and exhibiting extensively in Israel, Europe and the United States.
In 1961 Abraham Yakin won the international Adolphe Neuman Prize in Paris. Works by the Yakins are in the Israel Museum, Jerusalem, the Musee d'Art Juif, Paris, and in numerous museums in the Netherlands.
Among those who possess works by Abraham or Hannah Yakin are Isaac Stern, violinist, New York; Yehudi Menuhin, violinist, London; Teddy Kollek, former mayor of Jerusalem; Itshak Shamir, former Prime Minister of Israel; the late Prof. Vladimir Halperin, Geneva; Lev Shargorodsky, author, Geneva; Mr. S. Foellmi, President du Conseil d'Etat of Gelderlad, the Netherlands; Ex-governor Marvin Mandel, Annapolis, Maryland; the late Ariel Aran, former Ambassador of Israel in Vienna; Rabbi D. Lilienthal, Amsterdam; Prof. Yitshak Lior, Israeli Ambassador to the U.N., Geneva; Raymond Weil, Geneva; Rabbi Farhi, Paris; Rabbi Pauline Bebe, Paris; the late Governor Nelson Rockefeller, New York; John Lewis, U.S. Congressman, Atlanta, Georgia; Judge Albert L. Sklar, Baltimore, Maryland; Prof. Edward Kass, Harvard University, Mass.; Prof. Marvin Wachman, President, Temple University, Philadelphia; Rabbi Robert Shapiro, Swampscott, Mass.; Rabbi A. Gottschalk, Cincinnati, Ohio.
Hannah was born in Holland in 1933. During World War II, when she couldn't go to school and no paper was available, she used to erase what was written in old copybooks to compose and illustrate poems and stories, or to invent plays for the family to act. After sundown she would sit on the stairs and improvise on a violin while her sisters danced in the dark. Strange as it may appear, these were happy times in which necessity bore creativity.
After the war she went to high school and studied art in Utrecht and in Paris with Paul Colin. In 1956 she immigrated to Israel where she met and married the artist Abraham Yakin. During the first years of her marriage she concentrated chiefly on the themes of pregnancy, birth-giving and motherhood. After 1965 she created two large series of etchings, one about evolution, the other about music and musicians. In 1978 she took up writing, this time in English. Some of her short stories were published in American and Canadian literary magazines. A number of her stories were recently broadcast by the BBC World Service. She has published three illustrated books in small editions, as collectors' items.

"The Moment the Desert Turns Golden"
We rose in the winter darkness to drive through Big Bend National Park along Ross Maxwell Drive. Stopping at dawn for coffee from our ever-handy Thermos, I was photographing Burro Mesa PourOff (a colorful favorite spot of ours, and my painting destination that morning) when Jim, still warm in the comfort of the pickup truck pointed behind me. I turned to see sunrise gild the desert, with Santa Elena Canyon shadowed in the distance. Sometimes the things we don't look for are more special than the ones we seek!

Found 109 talks archived in Stars
Massive stars lose mass through powerful, radiatively driven stellar winds. Building on the original "CAK" model for steady, spherical winds driven by line-scattering, this talk will review recent research on the multi-faceted nature of such wind mass loss under varied conditions, for example due to rapid rotation, magnetic channeling, binary interaction, or a luminosity near the Eddington limit. An overall theme is that wind mass loss can in this way lead to a wide variety of astrophysical phenomena, including bipolar nebulae, massive star magnetospheres, colliding winds or compact companion accretion, and luminous blue variable eruption. The discussion here will summarize these with an emphasis on their varied observational signatures.
A serious limitation in the study of the Galactic inner halo and bulge globular clusters has been the existence of large and differential extinction by foreground dust. We have mapped the differential extinction and removed its effects, using a new dereddening technique, in a sample of 25 clusters in the direction of the inner Galaxy, observed in the optical using the Magellan 6.5m telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope. We have also observed a sample of 33 inner Galactic globular clusters in the framework of the VVV survey that is currently being conducted with the new Vista 4m telescope, in infrared bands where the extinction is highly reduced. Using these observations we have produced high quality color-magnitude diagrams of these poorly studied clusters that allow us to determine these clusters relative ages, distances and chemistry more accurately and to address important questions about the formation and the evolution of the inner Galaxy.
Supernovae are at the heart of some of the most important problems of modern astronomy. To fully understand their importance and to enable their use as probes of stellar evolution throughout cosmic time, it is
absolutely essential to determine their stellar origins, i.e., their progenitors or progenitor systems. Even with over 5600 known SNe, we have only direct information about the progenitor star for a handful of explosions. Based on the statistics of 20 SNe II-P for which progenitors have been isolated or upper mass limits established, it has been derived a
more limited range of 8-17 solar masses for these stars, and it appears that all of these progenitors exploded in the RSG phase, as we would theoretically expect. However there has been no detection of a higher mass stars in the range 20-40 solar masses, which should be the most luminous and brightest stars in these galaxies. Therefore, I will present here the
results of our group in the analysis of Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and deep ground-based images, isolating the massive progenitor stars of several recent core-collapse supernovae.
Long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most dramatic examples of massive stellar deaths, usually associated with supernovae (Woosley et al. 2006). They release ultra-relativistic jets producing non-thermal emission through synchrotron radiation as they interact with the surrounding medium (Zhang et al. 2004). Here we report observations of the peculiar GRB 101225A (the "Christmas burst"). Its gamma-ray emission was exceptionally long and followed by a bright X-ray transient with a hot thermal component and an unusual optical counterpart. During the first 10 days, the optical emission evolved as an expanding, cooling blackbody after which an additional component, consistent with a faint supernova, emerged. We determine its distance to 1.6 Gpc by fitting the spectral-energy distribution and light curve of the optical emission with a GRB-supernova template. Deep optical observations may have revealed a faint, unresolved host galaxy. Our proposed progenitor is a helium star-neutron star merger that underwent a common envelope phase expelling its hydrogen envelope. The resulting explosion created a GRB-like jet which gets thermalized by interacting with the dense, previously ejected material and thus creating the observed black-body, until finally the emission from the supernova dominated. An alternative explanation is a minor body falling onto a neutron star in the Galaxy (Campana et al. 2011).
To understand the formation and evolution of galaxies, it is important to have a full comprehension of the role played by Metallicity, Star Formation Rate (SFR), and stellar mass of galaxies. The interplay of these parameters at different redshifts will substantially affect the evolution of galaxies and, as a consequence, the evolution of these parameters provides important constraints for the galaxy evolution models. We studied the relationships and dependencies between the SFR, stellar mass, and gas metallicity of star forming galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-Data Release 7 (SDSS DR7) and Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) surveys. We have combined both surveys finding evidence of SFR and metallicity evolution for galaxies down to redshift ~0.2. Also, we have proved the existence of a Fundamental Plane in the 3D space formed by the SFR, mass and metallicity for the SDSS and GAMA samples.
The vision for the use of the WHT in the coming decade is taking shape. A key element is the construction and deployment of WEAVE, a wide-field massive-multiplex spectrograph. With 1000 fibres and spectral resolutions of 5000 and 20000, the opportunities for discovery are tremendous. Three key fields will be: Milky-Way and Local Group archaeology linked to the Gaia mission; cosmology redshift surveys; and galaxy evolution studies linked to photometric surveys such as VISTA, UKIDSS, LOFAR, EUCLID, and others. IAC has the opportunity to get involved in this important instrument for ORM from the beginning.
The Kepler spacecraft is providing photometric time series with micromagnitude precision for thousands of variable stars. The continuous time-series of unprecedented timespan open up the opportunity to study the pulsational variability in much more detail than was previously possible from the ground. We present a first general characterization of the variability of A-F type stars as observed in the Kepler light curves of a sample of 750 candidate variable A-F type stars, and investigate the relation between gamma Doradus, delta Scuti, and hybrid stars. Our results suggest a revision of the current observational instability strips, and imply an investigation of pulsation mechanisms to drive hybrid pulsations.
At the end of 2008, on ideas of teams from the Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur (OCA) and IAC, the CoRoT satellite observed the star HD 46375, known to host a non-transiting Saturn-mass exoplanet with a 3.023 day period. HD 46375 is the brightest star with a known close-in planet in the CoRoT accessible field of view. As such, it was targeted by the CoRoT additional program and observed in a CCD normally dedicated to the asteroseismology program, to obtain an ultra-precise photometric lightcurve and detect or place upper limits on the brightness of the planet. In addition, a ground-based support was simultaneously performed with the high-resolution NARVAL spectro-polarimeter to constrain the stellar atmospheric and magnetic properties. In this seminar, I will present the main results, in particular the stellar constrain we obtained thanks to the detection of the oscillation mode signature and the plausible detection of the planetary signal, which, if confirmed with future observations, would be the first detection of phase changes in the visible for a non-transiting planet.
The proper characterization of the least massive population of the young Sigma Orionis star cluster is required to understand the form of the cluster mass function and its impact on our comprehension of the substellar formation processes. SOri70 (T5.5±1) and SOri73, two T-type cluster member candidates, would have likely masses between 3 and 7 MJup if their age is 3 Myr. SOri73 awaits confirmation of its methane atmosphere. Here I present the results of a search of T-type objects in an area of ~120 arcmin^2 in the Sigma Orionis cluster, the confirmation of the presence of methane absorption in SOri73 and the study of SOri70 and 73 cluster membership via photometric colors and accurate proper motion analysis. This results would have a dramatic impact in the cluster mass function, in one of the scenarios explored, they suggest a decrease in cluster members with planetary masses in the interval 3.5-6 Mjup.
We present the K band FP of the ETGs members of the clusters observed by the WINGS survey. The data confirm a different tilt of the FP with respect to the V solution and the presence of a substantial tilt in the K band. This led us to further investigate the hypothesis that ETG non-homology greatly contribute to the tilt of the FP.
The WINGS data show that there are now several evidence of both structural and dynamical non-homology for the class of ETGs. Among these we will discuss in detail the tight relation between the mass of the ETGs, their stellar mass-to-light ratio M/L, and the Sersic index n describing the shape of their light profiles. We guess through a series of mock simulations that this relation acts as a fine-tuning that keeps small the scatter around the FP. We therefore conclude that ETG non-homology is closely connected either with the problem of the tilt and with the small scatter around the FP.

Decors, surfaces, products and services – a cleverly interlocked system.
The EGGER Decorative Collection 2017–2019 for specification and shopfitting was launched in January 2017. A comprehensive decor range, surface textures with the latest technological developments, an expanded product range, and intelligent services all perfectly interlocked. With this collection, EGGER supports fabricators and architects through every project phase: from providing inspiration and helping to identify ideas, all the way to the final implementation.
9-Grid system: providing orientation innovatively
The EGGER Decorative Collection 2017–2019 responds to the desire for better orientation and selection with the newly developed 9-Grid system. With over 300 decors and a variety of different materials, EGGER has created an orientation system that makes it possible to work efficiently. The decors, arranged in compact 9-Grids, allow a fast, direct comparison between colours and shades.
Nine style worlds that inspire
Style worlds are a central element of the new EGGER Decorative Collection. The style worlds contain current trend themes that are key for the entire interior design sector. EGGER centred its decor innovations on the basis of these style worlds.
Example of style worlds:
The style world Colour meets Nature includes decors that focus on a wide colour range in the decor image. It includes natural elements, but with a difference thus becoming a decor with independent characteristics. The focus is on the colour.
Decors that give a calm, soothing impression are included in the style world Nordic Style. Their Nordic character is not only due to light types of wood. The combination with textile reproductions and modern metallic accents is just as important.
The style world Effective Surfaces shows special surface effects with decors with metallic appearance and with crystalline 2-colour effects. They achieve a certain brilliance and depth effect thanks to their pearlescent content.
Loft Living is the style world whose decors symbolise lavish living in the city. It contains many material reproductions that also occur in urban environments. The used look is particularly stylish. In addition to concrete reproductions, there are light wood types that create a certain lightness alongside stone materials and ensure a warm atmosphere.

It is beautiful
The bracelet is exactly what I was expecting and the description fit perfectly. I didn't buy this for arthritis relief, although it would be a bonus if it works, I just love Baltic Amber. Make sure you know your wrist size because the 7inch fits true, which again is what I wanted.

Our software supports the backup of mapped drives.
Our software supports the backup of mapped drives.
You do not need to be logged into your computer for a backup to occur. You may also lock your screen as long as you remain logged in.
Your daily Backup Status Email will confirm your backup. Automated backups don't occur if your computer is asleep, hibernating, or in power-save mode.
Your computer must be on in order for a backup to occur.
While a backup is in progress you can still use your computer normally, including accessing the Internet. Backups should not significantly affect your system's performance. We will monitor the process and use best-practices to insure your system is always running optimally. We do suggest you set your backup to run after-hours.
If a backup is interrupted, cancelled, or Internet connection is lost, all of the files that had been backed up before the backup ended will be available to be restored.
The backup will continue where it left off during your next scheduled backup, or we can manually begin a backup at any time.
We can backup multiple selections to multiple destinations at the same time.
Every file that is backed-up will be compressed. However, the amount of compression depends on the type of file.
Some files, such as Microsoft Word documents will often be compressed as much as 3:1 or 4:1. Other files such as picture and audio files will compress very little.
While we can backup any file, we don't recommend that you backup Microsoft Windows system files, applications, and temporary files (including temporary Internet files).
Our software contains a feature that allows you to automatically exclude certain files from your backup.
Let us help! Email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 1-888-907-1227 (toll free).
We recommend that you back up high-security items. You should backup anything your business/practice cannot afford to lose.
For healthcare professionals: we advise you backup x-rays, patient service data, practice-sensitive data, financial information and professional emails.
For small-business owners: we advise you backup your important financial information, service data, business-sensitive data, and professional emails.
If you are using Microsoft Outlook, you may also want to back up your emails, contacts and calendar by including your ".pst" file in one of your backups.
If you need help, our staff will do the install and proper backup configuration so everything is done correctly. Just email email@example.com or call 1-888-907-1227 (toll free).
The time it takes to perform a backup will depend on: the number of files your practice or business is backing up, the size of those files, and the upload speed of your office Internet connection. Please keep in mind that for most broadband connections, upload speed is considerably slower than download speed.
Your medical practice or business' first backup may take a few hours or a couple of days, as all of the files contained in your backup set will be transmitted to our Backup Solution servers.
We recommend the first back up to take place over a designated weekend. Subsequent backups will take a substantially shorter amount of time. We will use our seeding process if necessary to expedite the backups.
You can begin a backup at any-time using your User Portal. Simply select the files you want backed-up and click "Start Backup".
If you need help, our technical support staff is ready to handle this process and have you backed up properly. Email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 1-888-907-1227 (toll free).
You have the ability to backup an unlimited number of versions of the same file. Our software includes a sophisticated wizard that allows us to manage how old versions are handled, giving you control over your backups and your storage space.

If the amount of data that you back up (after compression) exceeds the amount of storage included in your plan (plus any additional storage that you have signed up for), you will receive a notification via email approximately 7 days before the end of your billing cycle.
You will be able to continue to backup and use our service uninterrupted. This 7-day period gives you the opportunity to delete files that no longer need backing up, or to purchase additional storage space.
If you're still over the purchased amount the adjustment will show on the next invoice.
To discuss your data usage, contact support@centraldatastorage or call 1-888-907-1227 (toll free).
The amount of storage space is calculated on a compressed basis. In other words, the storage space you're using is calculated on the amount of data that is actually sent and stored on our servers.
Depending on the types of files that are backed up, you may receive two or three times as much storage space than you are paying for because of our compression.
If you are a small medical practice or business and need to backup only one computer with a modest amount of data, then one of our advertised plans is right for you.
If you need to backup a larger amount of data or SQL Server database, please lease feel free to contact us. Call 1-888-907-1227 (toll free) or email email@example.com to discuss your data security plan.
We are happy to help you find the right backup plan!

Please feel free to contact us at email@example.com or call our customer service line at 1-888-907-1227 to discuss your data security plan.
If you have a system failure, and our software is no longer installed on your computer, our technical team can help you download and install the software again from our website.
Please contact us at 1-888-907-1227 or email email@example.com. Once our software is installed, you will be able to easily restore all of the files that have been backed up.
Restoring a file does not affect its backup status. It will still be backed up and available to restore again at a later date.
Our software contains a feature that will allow you to view a file without restoring it. This works by saving the file to a temporary space on your hard drive and then opening the applicable program to view it.
This feature is useful if you have multiple versions of the same file backed up and are not sure which version you want to restore.
There is no charge whatsoever for restoring files. You can restore as many files as you wish as often as you like.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A forecast of a rainy weekend has changed the plans for the Lipscomb women's tennis team.
Instead of playing their first two home matches on the outside courts this weekend the Lady Bisons will play Murray State at 7 p.m. Friday at the Whitworth Indoor Tennis Center. Sunday's match with Eastern Illinois has been canceled.
Lipscomb, 8-2, has won its last seven matches, a program record. Murray State, 4-3, has won its last two matches.
"We have had a foundation of working hard and being process-oriented," Lipscomb coach Jamie Aid said. "Our current seniors really grasp that mentality.
"We have been taking each match as it comes. The girls walk on the court to compete. They aren't nervous, but instead seem to be excited to compete."
The last outings for both Lipscomb and Murray were against Arkansas State. Lipscomb won 4-0 and Murray State took a 4-1 decision.
"These last couple of wins are a by-product of how our girls work daily," Aid said. "We will have a large task ahead of us on Friday against Murray.
"We will continue to prepare as we have all season. We will place a group on the court that will compete hard."

Weight gain is already known to be influenced by the lack of physical activity and an improper diet. However, a newly released study claims that the dust in the house may also be a factor in this process. According to research results, common environmental pollutants known as ECDs can lead to an increase in triglycerides or fat.
Duke University scientists conducted this new study. They based their findings on data and samples gathered from 11 homes in North Carolina.
Even Small Amount of House Dust Can Contain Many ECDs
The researchers collected samples of indoor dust which contained endocrine-disrupting chemicals (ECDs). These are either human-made or naturally occurring chemicals which can interfere with the hormone production and functioning.
ECDs can be found in various common, everyday household products, for example, food packaging, cosmetics, pesticides, or household cleaning products. Flame retardants, bisphenol A, and phthalates are some of the most common such chemicals.
Previous studies indicated that the exposure in early life to some ECDs could potentially lead to weight gain later on. As such, these started being called "obesogens". Another result was the reduced use of ECDs in some products.
Now, the latest research tested the effects of these same chemicals, gathered from house dust, on mice. Their extracts were screened in a mouse preadipocyte cell model or 3T3-L1 cells. These are commonly used to test compounds for their possible effects on triglycerides, a type of fat.
Results showed that seven out of the eleven dust samples triggered a response in the preadipocyte cells. These started developing into mature cells and also began accumulating triglycerides.
Also, extracts taken from nine of the samples determined cell division, which created a large pool of precursor fat cells. Among all the tested house dust samples, only one had no effect.
Research also tested 44 individual house dust contaminants in the same model. Among them, three were noted to have the strongest fat=producing effects. These are the pyraclostrobin pesticide, DBP, a commonly used plasticizer, and the TBPDP flame-retardant.
Based on their finds, the study team suggests that house dust exposed to chemicals may be a factor in the disruption of the metabolic health, especially in children.
Research results are available in the journal Environmental Science & Technology.
