WAPDA are proposing a costly Rs. 250 billion Kalabagh Dam to counter the effect of silting of Mangla reservoir, but refuse to raise the water level in existing Mangla dam till it has silted by 50%!
exaggerated the mean year water availability by a huge 22.4 MAF by making fantastic assumptions that: 1. Storage of 6.1 MAF in Kalabagh Dam will salvage system losses by 7 MAF!
Deviated from their own method of computations just to somehow increase the figure of water availability, knowing fully well that for design of large projects, it is always better to err on the safe side, and apply some factor of safety. Arbitrarily changed their own 1987 criterion of water availability of 4 out of 5 years to mean/average year, though the 1987 criterion was also endorsed by President Farooq Ahmed Khan Leghari when he was Minister for Water and Power in 1990. Tried to link the Kalabagh Dam with silting of present reservoirs. WAPDA do not want to increase the water level in Mangla dam, which can be done without any capital investment, but instead they want to construct Kalabagh Dam at the cost of Rs. 250 billion!

Senior Health: As a caregiver for an elderly parent or spouse, what would have helped you most in your role as caregiver?
Attitudes and ideas often create personal obstacles that prevent you from caring for yourself. Taking care of others can be a better alternative than taking care of yourself, a lifetime practice. It's also critical to ask yourself: "What will happen to the person I care for if I get sick?"What if I die?
How often have you said, "Thank you, but I'm okay," when others have asked if they can help you?

M&A Involving West Midlands-Based Manufacturers Falls By 80%
Corporate Lawyer Remains Upbeat About Second Half Of 2015
A new study has revealed that despite a significant fall in manufacturing M&A activity involving West Midlands-based companies in the most recent three month period, the region’s national share of sector deals remains the second highest in Englandce* has also highlighteWest Midlands-based companies in the first half of the year is currently 22% lower than the number of deals recorded during the same period last year.
Thstood at 12%. Although this was lower than last year, it was in line with its performance in 2011 and 2013 and higher than 2008, 2009 and 2010.
The West Midland’s share was second only to London and the South East where the figure stood at 45%. Across the East Midlands, the figure stands at just 8.3%.
Although there was a reduced number of manufacturing deals in the region where the source of finance was private equity, almost one in 10 sector deals involving local companies had PE-backing. This was higher than in Yorkshire,“These figures reveal a mixed picture for the region as although it has seen a fall in deal numbers, its share of deals in the sector is higher than all other regions in England, except London and the South East.

Across England as a whole, only nine per cent of manufacturing deals completed during the six months of 2015 were financed through private equity – the lowest proportion since 2012.
The latest statistics in the West Midlands follow a disappointing set of output figures for the sector. Announced at the beginning of Julyduction levels in the manufacturing sector fell for the second month in a row in May.

time consuming, especially when it comes to avoiding overtime expenses or ensuring that the right guards are assigned to the right shifts.
The challenges don’t end after assignments have been handed out, either. How can you have confidence that your guards are showing up on time and conducting an efficient patrol?
Worse yet, attempting to coordinate client shift needs, guard time off requests, and other scheduling concerns can be an intensely time-consuming process. Back office staff often devotes several hours each week to completing guard assignments.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Modern shift scheduling tools bring a more streamlined approach to this essential part of security services. Rather than storing client and guard information in separate programs or files, all data is consolidated in one easy-to-use platform. This allows back office staff to quickly see which shifts need to be filled, as well as which guards are available to take a shift. Many scheduling tasks, such as notifying guards of a scheduling change, can even be fully automated.
Even more importantly, these programs can use customized settings to better equalize guard schedules and reduce or eliminate overtime scheduling. By improving the efficiency of your back office staff, your company will save money and enjoy greater productivity.
Smartphone integration also streamlines the incident reporting process, another vital aspect of improving shift efficiency. Customized reporting features ensure that guards fill in all required fields, while also providing the opportunity to upload photos or video footage.
When it comes to managing security guard hours, every step you take to improve efficiency both before and during shiftsy improving performance and reducing operating expenses, you’ll be able to deliver better results to your clientFord 1620Fdaho Falls Computer Repair and Networking Support.

THREE POSITIONS ON THE DEMOLITION OF THE ALBANIAN NATIONAL THEATRE
Three cultural workers discuss political implications of the National theatre's demolition
In May 2020, the National Theatre of Albania was demolished under the administration of artist-cum-Prime Minister Edi Rama, violently bulldozing the historical architecture and everything that remained therein. The event, which took place in the early morning hours, was preceded by two years of public resistance against the destruction, with protesters eventually occupying the building as a last resort. Now flattened to the ground, the former historical site gives way to the Prime Minister's hobbyhorse of a €30 million investment scheme, that comes as disproportionate to the Albanian economics at large, and is ignorant of matters such as historical conservation, building protection and the needs of the local art scene.
Yet the concern of this article is another. The meaning of the demolition of the National Theatre may not be fully grasped in terms of its idiosyncratic and alarming nature, without taking a closer look at, which Rama has ventured in to the ends of – questionable – international acclaim ever since the facade project that turned Tirana into a large scale canvas, which was commemorated for posterity in Anri Sala’s Dammi i colori. By means of three positions, we will address the demolition of the theatre as a telling symptom of the art-politics-complex, whose ills (and sleeping potentials) concern us all if we are to reclaim a working relationship between those two fields. The theatre cannot be resurrected, but the assumption of a working relationship between art and politics remains a living matter that urgently calls to be ‘restored’ and reclaimed.
Still from the video by ADN Channel, May 17, 2020
1. Position: Jonida Gashithe Hubei province in order to contain the outbreak of a new coronavirus in its capital of Wuhan. Within a matter of weeks, many more governments had followed suit, including Albania, effectively plunging vast territories and populations under some kind of state of emergency.
It would be naive to think that with the (yet to come) waning of the pandemic, the emergency measures imposed by governments the world over will also magically disappear. Indeed, all signs already point to the contrary. Given these conditions, as well as the popular uprisings that have swept up the United States and those taking place elsewhere in the world, the relationship between art and politics becomes an even more urgent question than usual. In order to measure up to the task, art will have to strike at the heart of the issue, namely, sovereign power.
In the past seven years, Albania has functioned as a laboratory in which the terms of engagement that will determine the future relationship between art and politics were being defined. I remember vividly when, in July 2015, Albanian PM Edi Rama posed outside of the brand new Centre for Openness and Dialogue (COD) on the ground floor of the Prime Minister’s Office with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. I alsoRama and Merkel in conversation with Anri Sala and Thomas Demand inside the COD.
The Prime Minister’s Office is a prominent fascist-era building located in the center of Tirana that has been a symbol of state, i.e., sovereign, power throughout its history. The (luxurious!) transformation of a portion of that building into a multifunctional cultural center comprising an exhibition space, a screening annex, a library, and a conference room, all of which would be open to the public, was going to change not just people's experience and perception of that building, it was going to change their experience and perception of the state itself.
I remember thinking to myself that the success or failure of the COD was going to depend on the degree to which it would allow itself to be vandalized, stormed, and/or occupied by protesters. I did not immediately understand that the mere existence of the COD was seen as having rendered protesting obsolete. Hence Rama's oft-extended (though so far unheeded) invitation to protesters to swap the streets and the squares for the ultra-designed interior of the COD; to swap the disobedient, protesting body (outside) for a docile body (inside); to swap shouting at the government for polite conversation with the government.
It was a neat trick: positing the future horizon of politics as having already been achieved in the present. The infinitely postponed future of the socialist realist art of yesteryear had been replaced by a future that was already history, i.e., dead. That is why the Centre for Openness and Dialogue could not coexist alongside a space like the historic National Theatre, another fascist-era building in the center of Tirana that since the summer of 2018 had become the site of a popular protest borne out of the typically obscene excesses of sovereign power.
In June 2018, Edi Rama’s government was emboldened by the suspension of the Constitutional Court when it used a highly questionable legal device known as a “Special Law” to transfer the land on which sat Albania’s National Theatre to a private developer. In May 2020, it was emboldened by its own draconian quarantinquash the National Theatre protest in the middle of the night, by deploying hundreds of police officers bearing no identification, some of them heavily armed.
What really “died” on 17th May 2020, however, was a very particular vision of the union of art and politics. In fact, it had already “died” on the day the Centre for Openness and Dialogue was inaugurated, they just didn’t know it.
Armando Lulaj, Armoured (2020)
2. Position: Sonja Lau
Over the course of the past two decades, Prime Minister Edi Rama has ventured as an artist within the international art world, benefitting from an entourage of influential curators and artistic colleagues. Thus, although in disguise, Albanian politics and the specific case of the demolition of the country’s National Theatre, is present wherever one meets the art world on a grand scale: it is necessarily an undercurrent to Rama's artistic production. In the same way it is not possible to slice one person into two, the artist-politician cannot act separately as artist or politician only. The artistic responsibility is always also a political one, and vice-versa.
Yet, Rama’s reception in the international art world has been such that while the mere coexistence of these two positions inside of him is continually celebrated, one is actually discouraged from using one position - be it that of the Prime Minister or the artist - to interrogate or scrutinise the other. The problem that this causes is more than a matter of unequal opportunities within the art world. It is the emptying out of a once complex, radical proposal for the sake of a personal career. Although Rama has been an important figure to instigate the artist-politician-complex and to test its potentials, it can only develop significance and future applications if it does not become an object or property. For some time now, the grand idea has not been expanded, but made to fit for purposes very much off the concerns of art and politics. It became a presidential property, and was accepted as such by the international arts community, in what seems a general consensus on prioritizing the lure of power over the malodour of power abuse.
What happens when an artist becomes Prime Minister is a very specific phenomenon, essentially played out by two diverging, if not irreconcilable chords. On the one hand, the artist is elevated onto a position that carries the responsibility for an entire country and each citizen living therein - a position of care. On the other hand, the PrimeMinister-artist finds himself in direct competition with the artists of his surroundings. He must care for and support the same citizens, including rivals if it comes to artistic careers and international visibility. To govern a country whilst being governed oneself by alternate, potentially stronger artistic positions, is no easy scenario. One way to resolve this awkward imbalance is by raising oneself to the status of artist-sovereign. The previously mentioned Center for Openness and Dialogue is an example of how to do so. To demolish a theatre that is considered by the public as a site of production independent from the state's sovereign narratives, provides for another.
When I worked in 2013 at the National Theatre to curate a performance by Armando Lulaj in collaboration with John Tilbury, we could not yet assume what was awaiting this historical architecture. Or, maybe the artist did, since his reading of a long edit of “classified cables” stirred certain premonitions. That was just a week before the general elections. I remember that the theatre did not feel like an ally or accomplice, but was encountered with a subtle, somewhat gentle uneasiness that would often be sensed when entering state institutions at the time. It was a feeling of meeting up with history without having the chance to be properly introduced.
I left Tirana that year. The theatre began to grow new relationships, it became more and more acquainted. The nature of this change was not so much happening on the level of production, but on the level of the theatre's reception and its role within society. It wasn't feared for anything related to Communism and even less as a reminder of the Italian occupation. On the contrary, it became tangible and intellectually feasible that history belongs to those living in the present. It obliterated conceptions of “shame”, or respectively “progress” that had often been strategically used to legitimize new investment schemes versus the preservation of historical buildings. Who would be to blame anyhow, if it wasn't the politics of the present day? In other words, the theatre didn't serve anymore as a metaphor for the better present against the imperfect past. It began to make its own claims. This knowledge proved dangerous.
With the demolition of the theatre, we have to acknowledge the exposure of a sovereign's gesture, the turning from the 'artist-politician', to the 'artist-autocrat'. This shift is significant, because it entangles the project of the art-and-politics complex with the risk of losing its democratic base – which prompts complex questions on how to proceed with the project at all. There is tragedy and then there is farce, but then, what now? If we really are to consider politics through the lens of an artistic experiment, as Rama himself has suggested, we also need to look at the monstrous creatures that may arise from the lab. In the end, we have to take an ethical position. Everything else would betray what could be achieved when art foregrounds political and social development.
3. Position: Vincent W.J. van Gerven Oei
As the BLM protests sweeping across the globe make amply clear, the Western world is still deeply troubled by an ingrained and institutionalized racism, in areas of society as different as law enforcement, politics, and academia. The white, cis-het male superiority or “savior” complex that is its flipside also occurs prominently in the field of architecture, where such figures are often hailed as “starchitects,” Zaha Hadid being no doubt the exception that confirms the rule. These starchitects propose “planetary solutions” drafted during weekend retreats, while innovating green, sustainable modes of living for the autocrats of the world.
The demolition of the National Theater under the pretext of a redevelopment scheme is directly the result of the “good intentions” of one such blissfully white, male, and heterosexual architect, Bjarke Ingels (who apparently called his son Darwin, let that sink in). Even though Ingels, whose design for the new National Theater touted by Prime Minister Edi Rama was clearly ripped off from a Ukrainian competition design for an opera house in Busan, South Korea, refused to publicly engage or listen to the many critical voices in Albania, he did use his privilege as prominent Danishman recently to write an op-ed in the daily Politiken, which puts his savior complex widely on display.
He starts by unironically sketching out Albania as a country so poor that “scenes from Borat [...] were actually filmed” there, while also not failing to mention that the kidnappers of Liam Neeson’s daughter in Taken were Albanians. Having set the stage of a country so unfairly portrayed by Hollywood, Ingels then sings the praises of Edi Rama, the former “social-liberal” (sic!) mayor of Tirana and current prime minister:
As I have argued extensively elsewhere, the relational esthetics approach imported by Edi Rama and Hans Ulrich Obrist into the “redevelopment” of Albania “with a bucket of paint” has effectively become a form of sophisticated government propaganda, which promotes the fact that Rama is an artist-politician to obfuscate his actual artworks and policies. Once we look at his artistic output - decades worth of colorful doodles on government documents without any discernible development (the definition of a one-trick pony) - or his policies leading to steady decline on all corruption and media freedom indexes, there is nothing “social-liberal” or progressive to be seen.
In his op-ed, Bjarke Ingels places himself squarely in the relational esthetics propaganda framework set up by Rama and Obrist, referring to a “symposium” in 2013, where he “together with a number of local and international artists, writers, film people, and architects,” was “invited to hatch ideas for Albania's future development.” Out of these discussions, then, the plan for a “new National Theater” was hatched.
It is a nice little case study of how toxic white masculinity has invaded every pore of Western culture, and offers a measure of the enormous task that awaits us to decolonize the art and architecture world
Fast forward to 2020. The National Theater has been destroyed, contractor FUSHA Ltd. has officially withdrawn from tender negotiations, with the government suspiciously backtracking earlier statements about absence of state funds. Yet all of this Ingels brushes aside as irrelevant, internal politics that he doesn’t meddle with. Instead, he plays the victim. He complains that he is now caught in a “shit storm,” “accused of triggering ‘violence and corruption’.” He even claims that the National Theater project is "not a matter of BIG getting rich: it's going to cost us a lot,” which he considers a matter “for which we are not praised.” Here speaks the hurt ego of the white savior: look at all this amazing work I’m doing for nothing in this poor country where they filmed Borat! And all I get is protests and police violence?!
Bjarke Ingels’s response to the “shit show” he is co-responsible for shows us the wafer-thin skin and fragile ego – “we are not praised!” – as the perennial characteristics of the white savior. .

I definitely had a moment where I said: What?Why did I do this?Why did I leave New York?

Q: REGEX password validation without special characters I am using this regex to validate my password.
*at least 2 numbers
^.*(?=.{8,})(?=.*\d*\d)(?=.*[a-zA-Z]*[a-zA-Z])(?!.*\W).*$
but unfortunately it still matches if I try to put special characters at the beginning.
For example @password12, !password12.
A: Because your pattern begins and ends with .*, it will match anything at the beginning or end of the string, including special characters.
if is_alpha_only(password) &&
len(password) > = 8 &&
has_2_or_more_numbers(password) &&
has_2_or_more_alpha(password) ...
A: I had a similar situation in which the client needed 4 alpha, 1 number, and between 8 and 20 characters. I've adapted my solution to your problem:
I understand the other answers dissuading you from this route, but sometimes the client wants what the client wants, regardless of your arguments to the contrary.

AMMAN — Jordanians sent almost 1.5 million SMSs to inquire about public services via the e-government programm2013, Jordanians sent 2.1 million SMSs to inquire about public services, according to figures e-mailed to The Jordan Times.
In 2012, they sent 1.083 million SMSs to ask about government services.
The top five services Jordanians inquire about are the ranking of their applications at the Civil Service Bureau, traffic tickets, weather forecast, water bills and income tax, the ministry said.
Meanwhile, government agencies sent 14.838 million messages since early 2014 to mobile users in the Kingdom to highlight services they provide or to raise awareness on certain issues, according to the ministry.
Codes of services can be found at www.jordan.gov.jo.
Mobile users can also access the 40 services by downloading an application from the same website.
These services include allowing people to obtain security clearances and background check certificates, renew professional and commercial registrations at the Ministry of Industry and Trade, renew business licences, inquire about traffic tickets and check weather forecasts.
Although the number of SMSs Jordanians sent in 2013almost doubled, several citizens called for more efforts to promote the services.

I recently needed to create some additional, temporary workers on our Samples cloud instance of Octopus Deploy. As I only needed short-lived workers, containers seemed like the perfect solution. I'd spin them up, they'd do some work, and I'd tear them down. In this post, I demonstrate how to create workers in a container hosted in Azure, perform a health check, and install additional software components.
Spin up the workers
The first step we need to perform, is to create a runbook. This post assumes you have some familiarity with our runbooks feature.
My runbook consists of the following steps:
Create a Azure Resource Group
Run an ARM template to create the Octopus Deploy Tentacle container
I'm using Microsoft's Azure platform in this example but it's also possible to use any other cloud including AWS and Google Cloud. Our Creating EC2 instance in AWS with CloudFormation blog post covers a similar scenario in AWS with a detailed example.
For ease of removal and overall tidiness, the first step creates an Azure Resource Group using the Run an Azure Script step:
$resourceGroupName = $OctopusParameters["Azure.Network.ResourceGroup.Name"]
Run an ARM template
Azure Container instances are a quick and easy way to spin up a worker container. Using a small Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template, we can automate the creation of the Octopus Tentacle container.
"numberCpuCores": {
"name": "[parameters('containerName')]",
"image": "[parameters('imageName')]",
"cpu": "[int(parameters('numberCpuCores'))]",
"memoryInGB": "[float(parameters('memory'))]"
"ports": "[parameters('ports')]",
"environmentVariables": "[parameters('environmentVariables')]"
"restartPolicy": "[parameters('restartPolicy')]",
"type": "[parameters('ipAddressType')]",
"dnsNameLabel": "[parameters('dnsNameLabel')]"
The template requires some parameters to be entered:
location: Location code in Azure, i.e. centralus
containerName: The name of the container
imageType: Public | Private
imageName: octopusdeploy/tentacle
osType: Linux | Windows
numberCpuCores: Number of cores to use
memory: Number (in GB) to use for the container
restartPolicy: See Docker documentation for options
ipAddressType: Public | Private
ports: Array of ports to expose
dnsNameLabel: DNS prefix for DNS entry - i.e. [dnsNameLabel].[AzureRegion].azurecontainer.io
environmentVariables: Array of environment variables to pass to container
This template will spin up an Azure Container instance of the Octopus Deploy Tentacle.
I chose the Linux variant as it is much smaller than the Windows container (254.39 MB versus 2.27 GB).
The built-in health check template only works for deployment targets, however, there is a community step that was developed specifically for workers: Worker - Health Check. Running this step ensures our worker is healthy and ready for the next step.
The workers were going to need to interact with both Azure and AWS. The Tentacle image has the bare minimum software required to run, so I needed to install the following:
With deployment targets, you execute steps against all targets with a specific role. Since workers don't have roles, I needed to find an alternative. The Script Console lets you execute the same code against all workers within a pool. Because Octopus is written API-first, I was able to duplicate the functionality of the Script Console to run the code to install the additional software against the whole pool via the API:
$workerPoolName = $OctopusParameters['Project.WorkerPool.Name']
if ($baseUrl.EndsWith("/"))
$baseUrl = $baseUrl.SubString(0, $baseUrl.LastIndexOf("/"))
$workerPool = ((Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -Uri "$baseUrl/api/$spaceId/workerpools/all" -Headers @{"X-Octopus-ApiKey"="$apiKey"}) | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq $workerPoolName})
Name = "AdHocScript"
Description = "Script run from management console"
MachineIds = @
TargetRoles = @
EnvironmentIds = @
WorkerIds = @
WorkerPoolIds = @
TargetType = "WorkerPools"
Syntax = "Bash"
ScriptBody = @"
# Install az module
echo "Installing az module ..."
pwsh -Command "& {Install-Module az -Scope AllUsers -Force}" > /tmp/azModuleInstall.log
# Install Az cli
sudo apt-get install awscli -y
$scriptTask = (Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri "$baseUrl/api/tasks" -Body ($jsonPayload | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10) -Headers @{"X-Octopus-ApiKey"="$apiKey"})
# Check to see if the health check is queued
while
Write-Output "Waiting 5 seconds ..."
$scriptTask = (Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -Uri "$baseUrl/api/tasks/$($scriptTask.Id)" -Headers @{"X-Octopus-ApiKey"="$apiKey"})
Write-Output "Installation complete!"
Because I needed to create more than one worker, steps 2 and 3 were created multiple times in my process
Containerized workers
When configured in Listening mode, the Tentacle container is coded to automatically connect to your Octopus Server and register itself to the specified worker pool. After the runbook completed, I had three, healthy workers.

In mid-February, Donetsk and Kiev are going to hold a regular exchange of prisoners with the freedom of a total of about 160 people. In DND it was officially stated Commissioner for human rights Daria Morozova, and from Kiev with “MK” shared information Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Hope Savchenko. Most likely, the Russians will not fall under the exchange, but from the torture chamber can leave the soldiers of “Berkut”.
According to Morozova, in February the Donetsk is going to rescue from captivity Ukrainian 84 people. In this regard, an official in the breakaway Republic calls on relatives of Ukrainian prisoners to contact her for clarification of data.a also said that the exchange could take place if not in February then in March. In his opinion, this will push, including the head of Russia Vladimir Putin that it is important to do just before the election.
Recall the previous exchange took place on 27 December 2017, and although he was the first in a year and a half, ended in a major scandal. The Ukrainian side was to free the 306 people in exchange of 74 prisoners of the DNI and LC. However, the contact line crossed only 233 people on one side and 73 on the other. Already at the checkpoint, where he agreed to release people, it turned out that someone from the Ukrainian prisoners who received a pardon, refused to leave the territory of the breakaway republics, and someone simply deleted from lists. Including the exchange did not get convicted for particularly serious articles and Russians.
Anyway, this time the list of prisoners with the Ukrainian side will be approximately equal to the list Morozova as the Dec Kiev declared “154 held hostage”. Among others, they have to release the three members of the elite 3rd Kirovohrad special forces regiment. They were captured in 2014, and since then, their relatives were the recognized leaders of the Ukrainian social movement for the liberation of the prisoners.
Of the famous civil prison in Donetsk remained a journalist, “Zn” and the Kiev edition of radio “Freedom” Stanislav Aseev. He was arrested in the early summer of 2017, his name regularly popped up in all meetings of the humanitarian sub-group in Minsk, but the DNR is unwilling to give it. In Donetsk claim they’re looking for when the court will render judgment against him for espionage, but according to rumors, the delay associated with Aseeva unwillingness to admit his guilt. In addition, the lists should get a doctor Elena Lazareva and entrepreneur Andrew Kuchmuradov accused of Donetsk, in cooperation with SBU. According to relatives, read grateful video message they advised the lawyer recommended by the MGB. “Said that it would be a quick court verdict and the exchange!” – sparingly commented on the source of the “MK” in Donetsk.
Lists from the self-proclaimed republics line up is no less complicated. No wonder Daria Morozova called relatives “turn to the Ombudsman for verification of personal data of prisoners”. The experience of the last exchange, when more than 60 people at the last moment refused to go to Donetsk and Lugansk, there are many to attend to.
Ukraine is in custody “in reserve” are citizens of Russia, the soldiers of “Berkut”, sitting still for the events on the Maidan, who were arrested after may 2, 2014 “Odessa”. All of them, and all charged with serious crimes, are still on exchange are not taken out.
Now not publicly, the Ukrainian government is trying to decide who to “give” with minimal political complications. “The exchange will be in the near future, he should be held before mid-February – expressed his point of view “MK”I think that Poroshenko does not want to advertise the lists, because there are agreements on those they promised not to give, perhaps for the “Golden eagles” or the like. I think that out of this exchange by far will remain the Russians, who are prepared only to exchange Ukrainian prisoners in Russia. Otherwise, accurate information on the list you now no one can say. There is bargaining for the people!”
Lists of Russians in Ukrainian prisons have two – one on 15 names, and one with 24. Both has MC and knows that “15” is recognizussians also prepare a legally. Accelerated by the courts in the case of a contractor of the 4th infantry brigade of the people’s militia of the DPR Victor Ageev. The Ukrainian Prosecutor’s office ceased to call him contractor of the Russian army and his court took lightning form, meetings are almost every week. “We go to the next court session on January 24, reported “MK” the lawyer Viktor Ageyev Chevguz. – To be able to convert my client server it needs to obtain sentence and is due to expire the month of the appeal on the verdict. So I’m not surprised with the pace of the court.”

We’re ready to make way for spring! The changing of the season marks the beginning of spring weddings – the perfect opportunity to use colors that symbolize the return of life to plants and trees.
To help in the planning of the big day we’ve focused on a few flower choices that’ll go great with your spring wedding!
When deciding on floral arrangements for the centerpieces and bouquets the first flower type to consider are daisies. With petals that are often white it gives you the ability to match with a variety of other colors and textures.
Lilacs are most often a shade of light purple. Lilacs often have multiple stems and are a popular choice because of their sweet smell and beautiful petals.
Lastly, we’ve chosen orchids – a large and diverse family of flowers. Many times the colors of orchids are a light pastel and vary in length allowing them to have many uses.
The changing of the seasons brings the reappearance of bright, beautiful plantlife across the Coral House grounds with blue skies overhead.
Inside the Coral House, lively, rich spring colors and pastels grace our many rooms. We are looking forward to our Easter Brunch on Sunday, April 5th! Brunch and dinner seatings along with fun activities for the whole family [including an appearance by the Easter Bunny] will be taking place from late morning into the afternoon!
Brunch: 11:30 a.m., 12:00 p.m., 12:30 p.m.
Dinner: 3:00 p.m., 3:30 p.m., 4:00 p.m.
Following Easter, the Coral House has 3 dates for communion galas [April 25th, May 2nd, and May 9th] to make your child’s first communion a day to remember!
We look forward to seeing you and wish you a happy spring!

State Trail Maps are now available at the Snackbar!
We are reaching the end of another atv riding season!
David was up for a visit and is doing very well. His medical folks tell him he is way ahead of where they though he would be !We had held a couple of fund raising events and we gave him the check when we saw he and Linda. They were extremely touched, and appreciated all the care and concern it showed for them. Being David, the guy with one leg immediately asked us to donate it to Camp CaPella for camperships. He figured the camp needed it more than he did!
Wishing everyone a happy and safe winter, be careful out there !
Several club members rode from Molasses Pond to the Diner by a roundabout way on the 15th and had a great day. The weather was perfect, our trails were well marked. We did manage to find some very rough patches, but survived just fine. A lot of wild life was out and we observed a bald eagle, a hawk, 3 partridges (each in a different location), a mama deer, a baby moose and 2 turtles!We took a picture of the most mysterious sight on our voyage. can you tell what it is?
THE BRIDGE IS NOW OPEN !
We thank Ken Jordan and family for their help moving the steel, and Peter Poors, Mike and Marlene Sullivan, Steve Catlin, Frank Janusz, Dave and Kenny for approximately 200 hours of work. I must also mention that the day before the bridge was completed, six riders from the Newport area happened along and jumped right in to help haul lumber before they turned around and headed back!
Trailmaster David Bridges should be able to come back in july so trailmaster Peter Poors went out and got hit by a truck and broke his ankle just to keep up. They met at Frank and Maryanns to talk over strategy !
Airline Swamp Donkey trail masters consultation!
Looks like Pete got tired of David getting all the attention with his broken ankle ( he's been healing for 2 years ). He went out and tried to stop a dump truck with his foot. Truck 1, Pete 0. Broken ankle. They were able to get together today at Frank and Maryann's and compare notes and possible return to duty times !

As a Mellon Innovation Fellow, Dr. Haynes utilized the funds and support to explore more carefully about what other liberal arts colleges are contributing to the prison education movement, and developed a pilot Search course at the Mark Luttrell Correctional Facility that has become the basis for a broader program of prison education at Rhodes.
Dr. Haynes’s interest in taking this step toward developing a prison education program at Rhodes was piqued in August 2014 when he was contacted by Richard Goode, director of David Lipscomb University’s Lipscomb Initiative for Education (LIFE), which offered for-credit college courses in Nashville area prisons. Prof. Goode reported that the success of the LIFE program at The Tennessee Prison for Women in Nashville had led to “a steady flow of letters” from women ats inquiring if a similar program might be made available to them. Goode asked Dr. Haynes to gauge interest at Rhodes for reaching out to inmates at the Luttrell facility (and perhaps other local prisons).
Subsequent research, conversation and reflection led Dr. Haynes to conclude that offering Search in local prisons represented a unique opportunity for Rhodes to 1) engage the broader community in a qualitatively new fashion; 2) develop an innovative learning space for our students and 3) emulate successful community engagement efforts at some leading liberal arts institutions. The program also provided a community-based opportunity to test the College’s claim that studying the liberal arts provides an indispensable preparation for life, regardless of one’s circumstances and goals.
In this sense, the project represented an extension of Rhodes’s commitment to the liberal arts as a unique form of education. It also reflected the College’s commitment to engaging students in a “challenging, inclusive and culturally-broadening college experience” in order “tis.” Finally, there was solid evidence that prison education programs can improve outcomes for inmates and thus benefit the larger community of which Rhodes is a part.i
Dr. Haynes’s preliminary research revealed three interesting facts. First, prisoners’ access to higher education was significantly diminished since 1994, when incarcerated students were excluded from the Pell Grant program.ii Furthermore, restrictions on prisoners’ access to the internet make on-line study difficult. Second, according to The Prison Studies Project at Harvard, there are currently no higher education prison programs in West Tennessee or anywhere in the states of Mississippi or Arkansas. Third, while prison education in the South has been dominated by universities and government agencies,iii in other regions of the country leading liberal arts institutions have led the way.
These include Bard College (Bard Prison Initiative) and Wesleyan University (Wesleyan Center for Prison Education). In addition, a number of national liberal arts colleges are in the process of developing their own prison education programs. One of the organizations supporting this work is the Alliance to Advance Liberal Arts Colleges, which in 2013-14 sponsored a Collaborative Workshop on Prison Education and a Liberal Arts Education for faculty members from Amherst, Scripps, Bryn Mawr, Vassar, Smith, Grinnell and Haverford. Also, Bard College’s Consortium for the Liberal Arts in Prison, launched in 2009, has helped establish programs at Goucher, Holy Cross, Notre Dame and Washington University. Reflecting the growing prominence of these programs, a National Conference on Prison Higher Education has met annually since 2010.
Dr. Haynes’s proposal to pilot a version of the Search program in local prisons was supported by Search Director Geoff Bakewell and together they consulted with Assistant Professor of Religious Studies Rhiannon Graybill, who as a graduate student taught at San Quentin Prison as part of California’s Prison University Project. The Faculty Innovation Program appealed to Dr. Haynes because it would allowed him to continue the planning process in a community of practice dedicated to innovative pedagogy and community engagement.
Two matters in particular required further exploration: First, how could Rhodes courses that are open to inmates have to be revised or adapted? Prison education programs at other liberal arts colleges have found that academic expectations can remain high. The Bard program claims, for instance, that “inca” The same appears to be true at Wesleyan, where a faculty committee is charged with ensuring that courses taught in local prisons are characterized by the same academic rigor as those taught on campus.
A second question was how exactly Rhodes students would contribute to and benefit from a Rhodes College prison education program. Dr. Haynes’s hope was to create classroom spaces in which traditional students and inmates meet together (so-called “Inside-Out Teaching”). Iin a unique community setting, this program inevitably created other student opportunities as well. For instance, Wesleyan’s prison education program offers “volunteer and service-learning opportunities for main-campus students….including serv[ing] as writing tutors and teaching assistants for courses at [local prisons].”
Dr. Haynes studies the Holocaust, religion and racism, and religion and literature, along with Jd religion and higher education.

Mexico is a vacation with something for everyone. Furthermore, despite the epidemic, the country remains accessible to worldwide tourists. It is with a free visa for many nations. Though you must fill out a health form upon arrival. There is no need to produce a negative coronavirus test or to get quarantined for any period of time.
Can you go to Mexico with Canadian Visa?
Canadians traveling on normal Canadian passports do not need visas to visit Mexico. It is when their journey is for tourism and their stay does not exceed 180 days. But a fee is charged if arriving by land. The charge gets included in the price of the plane ticket for individuals traveling by air.
The Mexican government does not demand the term of validity for the passport. Still, this document must get valid for the duration of the stay in Mexico.
A filled Many Migratory Document (FMM). This will be given this form by the airline or at the port of entryrip. It depends on the activity you will undertake in Mexico.
It can be a tourism, business letter in Spanish from the company indicating that you are an employee.
The services you will provide in Mexico will get paid by that company. The letter of invitation from a public or private institution.
Is it simple to get a visa to Mexico?
The conditions for a tourist visa in Mexico are simple to grasp. The application process for a visa to Mexico is quite easy. It costs USD 44 and takes around two business days to process. The Mexico tourist visa is valid for 180 days and allows for many entries.
They are given for stays of up to 180 days. They are granted, visa-required foreign citizens. People who wish to enter for tourism, business, a visit, or any other non-work-related purpose.
Mexico Temporary Resident Visa.
Mexico Permanent Resident Visa.
It gets granted to foreign citizens who wish to live in Mexico. This form of visa is used by retirees who will live in Mexico with a source of income. It is why it is also known as a Mexico Retirement Visa. Foreigners having close familial links to Mexico. Also, individuals who have been temporary workers in Mexico for at least four years. They are also eligible for permanent residency.
A Mexico visa can be obtained via a Mexican embassy overseas. If you are from Turkey or Russia, you may be able to get a Mexican Visitor’s Visa online. It is using the Electronic Travel Authorization System (Sistema de Autorización Electrónica, SAE).
Make an appointment with the Mexican embassy.

Summary YUSTE project
PROJECT Y.U.S.T.E. SUMMARY
The project, as its name indicates, “Y.U.S.T.E. (Youth Up, Sharing Talent for Europe)”, has as main objective to gather 5o have already shown a social concern and commitment in their communities, to complement their educational-training through collaborative experiences,:
3) To experience the wealth represented by the diversity of the different European peoples. For this, a gastronomic-musical soirée will be held every night, in which the members of each country communicate the best of their history, gastronomy and folklore. Participants will hold rhythm, music, dance and interpretation workshops. Through these leisure activities they will also develop teamwork skills, preparing, with the participation of all, a musical show that they would present in a public performance at the end of the exchange.
4) We will take advantage of the fact that the project will be carried out in Extremadura. In century XVI Extremadura was main protagonist of the encounter between two worlds as a consequence of the discovery of America; Francico Pizarro in Peru and Hernán Cortes in Mexico, came in contact with the main civilizations existing in that continent. With the visit to Trujillo and Guadalupe we will be able to approach the importance that the encounter of cultures had for European civilization.
5) This year we want each of the organizations involved to prepare a full day of activities on the theme and content that they consider more appropriate to the activities they normally develop. We will focus the integration of immigrants’ problem.
6) It will also be given to the meeting a character of valorisation of all the attitudes that promote the total integration of all the groups with some limitation.
In addition to the individual learning, which will involve each participant to experience this experience, and the local and regional impact that the Project is going to involve, a video summary of the exchange will be developed, which will be disseminated through the different participating Organizations and will be available on YouTube As in the web, in which all the events related to this exchange, currently under development, which can be consulted at: http://www.youth4europe.org.
This year the exchange will take place in Cáceres, from the 19th to the 29th of July 2017.

OVER to the other side of the Atlantic, where all eyes are fixed on the US presidential race. Our focus, however, will not be on the race as such, but on a related development: the vigorous left-democratic mobilisation around the candidacy of Bernie Sanders,a hitherto unknown figure who is giving the heavyweighte contest for Democratic Party (DP) nomination.
“Bernie Sander. As a young activisfor Racial Equality. He81, he won the position of Mayor of Burlington, Vermont, as an independent, and subsequently won reelection even when they joined hands to defeat him. During his tenure as mayor, Burlington developed “sister city” relationships with Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua in 1984, during the Sandinista Revolution, and Yaroslavl, USSR in 1989, much to the chagrin of the Regan administration. Vermont, once again running as an independent. However, this marked beginning of his long association with the Democratic Party. In 2006, he was elected to the US Senate as an independent, but with the support of the Democratic Party leadership.
said in an interview with the Guardian in November 2006: “Twenty years ago, ... Now they think about Scandinavia.” In another 2006 Democracy Now interview, he said, “In terms of socialism, I think there is a lot to be learned from Scandinavia and from some of the work, very good work that people have done in Europe. In countries like Finland, Norway, Denmark, "
On foreign policy,opposed the 2003 invasion of Iraq. However, he supported the war on Serbia in 1999 and invasion of Afghanistan in 2001. In 2001, Sanders votedthat was the legal justification for military actions since the September 11. On the Palestinian-Israel issue, although, he has supported a political solution but has shied away from taking any firm action. More recently, heDuring the Democratic presidential debate in Florida, Sanders strongly denounced US interventionism across the world. He said and to support efforts of overthrowing governments in Chile, Guatemala and Nicaragua. He denounced the Monroe Doctrine, which said that the United States had the right to do anything they wanted to do in Latin America. Ttting involved in regime change, he asserted.
The appeal of Bernie Sanders has largely been his campaign against growing income inequality and capitalist greed. He stands for health care which is based on a state run Medicare program. In the era of high college fee, he has promised tuition free education. He has championed the Robin Hood tax and College for All act that would set a levy 0.5% on most stock transactions that would fund education and healthcare. Sanders supports an hourly minimum wage of $15 which is a key demand of organized labor. Despite this pro-worker stand, merely three unions have endorsed him and most unions are supporting the Democratic establishment candidate, Hillary Clinton. Sanders supports raising the income tax and loweringespoused these progressive issues on the domestic front. No wonder the word socialism has grown in popularity. According a recent survey , 42% of Democrats have a favorable opinion of the ideology. Interestingly, among 18 to 29-year-olds, the favorable view of socialism has grown from 36% (May 2015) to 43% (January 2016). The ruling class is shocked that socialism is no longer a dirty word. This is noteworthy in a country seeped in McCarthy era rhetoric and cold war ideology. Also of importance, while the reactionary wing of the ruling class - theamong others - are attempting to attract a section of the working class and middle class with their immigrant bashing and racist ideology, a section of the working class and middle class are moving towards the 'socialist' platform of Bernie Sanders. Still, Sanders' socialism is actually a social democratic capitalist state where “private companies ... thrive and grow”.
What lies behind the sudden rise of Bernie Sanders? One obvious factor is youth support, as a columnist in UK explains.
In this commentary published in The Guardian (4 February 2016) OwenJones cites data on the voting patterns on Democratic primaries to show how the veteran Sanders was drawing overwhelming support from the young while “It was older Americans who flocked to Clinton’s camp…. The generations appeared separated by a political chasm.
W
Results of the Iowa Caucus primary are revealing. The candidate was defeated by Hillary Clinton by a mere 0.3%. In households with an income below $30,000 a year, Sanders beat Clinton 57% to 41%, while amongst those making over $100,000 a year, Clinton beat Sanders 55 to 37%. On the other hand, amongst those who said they were participating in caucuses for the first time, Sanders beat Clinton 59% to 37%. Evidently,he has managed to enthuse particularly the youth, the low-income groups and new participants.
The Sanders campaign seems to be drawing enthusiastic support from ex-occupy activists, for many of whom that movement provided the very first experience of direct involvement in politics. In fact it was the People for Bernie Sanders, a group of ex-Occupy activists, who encouraged Sanders to run in this election, supported by the Progressive Democrats of America, which urged him to run as a Democrat.
For a progressive left-leaning Democrat who had steered clear of both establishment parties for the best part of his long , off-beat political career, but had no political programme or organisation of his own, to allow himself to be drawn into the vortex of the DP was a necessary price for making it big to the national political scene. But that does not detract from the fact that Sanders’ entry into the race has served to push the political discourse in the 2016 election towards a less bigoted, more progressive direction.Coming as it does as a kind of political follow-up on the Occupy Movement, that’s no small matter.
Sanders’ positions on issues like Israel and Iraq war are obviously inconsistent with a democratic viewpoint; how about his ‘socialism’? Essentially, it is a contemporary American version of what the Communist Manifesto had labelled as “bourgeois socialism” aimed at “Sanitized of any revolutionary content though, this trend however represents the spontaneous strivings of the American masses for making themselves heard in the corridors of power, for reclaiming democracy from the clutches of big corporations, for influencing policy decisions in favour of the 99%. This is what makes it – the Sanders campaign and its mass impact taken together – immensely progressive as a popular resistance to decades of neoliberal aggression (see box) on people’s lives and democratic rights.
In an era of ascendancy of revolutionary socialism and supposedly impending downfall of the bourgeois order, the authors of Communist Manifesto were fully justified in their sharp criticism and rejection of “conservative or bourgeois socialism”. But in the present period marked by setback/crisis of socialism and domination of neoliberalism, the popularization of even a vaguely defined socialism/social democracy in a country like the US is certainly a welcome development, the inconsistency in theory notwithstanding.
“… Humiliated in Vietnam, 1970s America was further concerned that the losers of the second world war (Germany and Japan in the lead) were catching up at top speed. The US also suffered from the oil crisis, inflation and under-indexation of tax schedules. Surfing the waves of all these frustrations, Re

Posted on 25 September 2014 by Stephen HansonSeptember 25, 2014
We are told in scripture in many places about the importance of enduranc2.
We know that those who run in a race need endurance to finish the race that they had set out to do.long distance running events. These runners soon learn the importance of pacing themselves so that they don’t get burned-out before the end of the race.
This analogy of running in a race is a good comparison to the endurance needed in the spiritual race we run in this life. For when troubles come, and they come to all of us, we need a long-term perspective of the road ahead of us, otherwise, our present circumstances will dishearten us so much that we lose sight of the finish line ahea.
I believe that our monetary trials are preparing us for the very difficult days that lie ahead. Just like the athlete that prepares every day with training, his muscles are being stretched and strengthened so that he or she can withstand a longer or more strenuous workout ahead.
For in the days ahead when the national grid has shut down, when the economy has collapsed, and food and water is scarce, the trials that you have endured earlier, will have strengthened you for these dark days ahead.
I personally don’t believe that we will have been raptured out of the coming tribulation which is to come. I believe that God will supernaturally provide and sustain His saints in the wilderness during those dark days. Our faith which is more precious than fine gold, will have been purified and we will shine like bright lights in the midst of a world where many will have lost hope, and will have given themselves over to the mark of the beast” 1 Peter 1:7.
Some think that they will be saved from these trials and tribulations which are to come. This sounds like a way out that God would provide for us . They would say, “Surely, a loving God would take us out of a world where evil is running rampant and fear and confusion would cause many to even take their own lives.” My answer to that is that a loving and just God would have used our previous trials and persecutions as a way of preparation for us. To be kept from the hour of testing which is to come upon the entire world, may well mean that we are saved from the time of wrath, and not the time of tribulation.
Remember that even many of the apostles suffered in various ways and lost their lives because of the gospel. We know that even today, there are many in other countries who suffer, are persecuted, and have been killed for their faith.
In conclusion, endurance and steadfastness are important attributes now, andus in the days ahead.

Proprietor J. R. Nuckles, who held a long-time lease on the new playhouse, closely monitored the construction progress, saying, "I am going to expend about $5,000 in furnishing the interior of the building and, naturally, I want to see that the architectural plans are carried out to the letter. I am going to call the new theater the Lyceum, under which name the old one was known, but I want to assure the good people of Ogden that it will be quite a different playhouse."
"Every effort will be made by the new proprietors of the Lyceum to make it Ogden's best second run home. The pick of the features shown at the Orpheum and Paramount will be brought back second-run to the Lyceum and for the quality of product the most reasonable price policy in Utah is assured, any seat any time 10 cents."

A temporary church
A church I once served was born in a cheese warehouse, grew, purchased property, built a building, grew some more, plateaued, added an addition, declined and closed—all in a 50-year timespan. Now its building sits vacant, as much a liability as an asset to its judicatory.
Here's a novel idea: in Australia, they built a temporary church. When a gothic cathedral in Christchurch was destroyed by an earthquake, its members dreamed of rebuilding. But they knew it would take decades to replace their old building. So while they are waiting, they had an architect build a temporary building that will only last 50 years, and can be easily dismantled.
Really? Fifty years is temporary? And look at this building! Who would build a gothic cathedral when they could have this one, which is built out of cardboard?
So, what do you think? Should we start building cardboard churches?
(Thanks again to Joe Duggan at Congregational Seasons for tossing this story my way.)
Many of us might assume that a church with only 32 members automatically qualifies as a "struggling church," or even a dying church. But in the case of St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Keansburg, New Jersey, many of us would be wrong.
'90s, the building was hit by lightning. The volunteer fire department bravely climbed up into the attic and put the fire out, at some risk to their own lives. Repairs were made and the church went on. But a few years later, in 2005, the diocese closed the church, and its members migrated to another nearby parish.

At the top of each recipe you'll see a label indicating whether the recipe is suitable for the Thermomix® TM31, Thermomix® TM5 or Thermomix® TM6™. You can click on the label to find out more information.
2. Be aware of the different mixing bowl sizes!
Be careful using Thermomix® TM5 or TM6™ recipes in a Thermomix® TM31 as the bowl and Varoma are smaller. If recipes are not adapted correctly, it could be dangerous (e.g. hot liquids splashing)
3. Considerations for Thermomix® TM31 users
If you come across a Thermomix® TM5 or TM6 recipe that is also compatible with the Thermomix® TM31, please bear in mind the following:
∙ Select Varoma instead of 120°C 120°C is not a valid setting on the Thermomix® TM31, but Varoma will achieve similar results
∙ TM5 and TM6™ close their lid automatically Ensure you close the lid of your TM31 manually
∙ TM5 and TM6™ set 'reverse' automatically Ensure you set and cancel 'reverse' manually on the Thermomix® TM31 as this is not automatically changed
4. TM6™ exclusive recipes
• Thermomix® TM6™ comes with additional cooking features, some of which are available manually from the modes screen (such as Sous-vide, Slow cook, Fermentation), others which are exclusive to TM6™ recipes (High Temp, Sugar stages)
• These modes are not available on TM5 or TM31. As a result, a TM6™ recipe that relies on these modes cannot be prepared on a TM5 or TM31
• TM6 reaches higher temperatures than TM5 and TM31
• TM6 recipes cannot be synced to a TM5
• If you wish to cook manually from Cookidoo® (without relying on Guided Cooking) please refer to the TM version label on the recipe to ensure it is compatible with your Thermomix®.
5. Take care when cooking from books and magazines
The same rules apply to cooking with recipes from books and magazines. Always ensure you check which Thermomix® model the recipes have been written for.

Joe’s Wine of the Week: Tenuta Fernanda Cappello Pinot Grigio, Grave, Friuli, Italy DOC 2015 – Joe's Underground Cafe
April 25, 2018April 25, 2018 by Joe Pascale
$17.99 at Crush Wine & Spirits in Bryant, Arkansas (AR)
Floral and pear on the nose. On the palate, crisp green apple, citrus, hint of hazelnut. Noticeable acidity.
Fernanda Cappello had a successful career as an architect before she returned to the wine business in her father’s footsteps. She is the third generation of winemakers in her family. The winery was founded in 1970 and the first release was the 1969 vintage.
The 135 hectare estate (of which 126 ha are under vines) is located in northeast Italy in the province of Sequals of the region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia just below the Alps. The vines are planted on very mineraly soil between the Cellina and Meduna Rivers in their own microclimate where the Val Tramontina wind keeps the grapes healthy. The rocky soils reflect heat and help ripen the grapes in this cool alpine climate. Alpine breezes ventilate the vineyards and dry the grapes even in wetter vintages.
Dispersed throughout these rocky soils are the Magradi Stones – some of them are the size of pumpkins. These stones reflect light onto the vines and absorb heat to give warmth to the vines which help the ripening of the grapes in this cool climate.
The winery produces a variety of wines: Whites: Prosecco, Pinot Grigio, Friulano, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay. Reds: Refosco, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot.
The cellars of the Fernanda Cappello estate incorporate modern technology, temperature-controlled steel barrels, machines for processing the grapes and treating the wine, sophisticated and advanced instruments to check that every phase of the wine-making process happens in a precise and natural way. There are also wooden and oak barrels which bring out the flavors and the bouquet during the ageing process.

David Zwirner is pleased to present the iconic film Blue (1993) and a selection of late paintings by the British interdisciplinary artist Derek Jarman (1942–1994) at the gallery's West 19th Street location in New York. Jarman's richly layered and symbolically dense work—encompassing painting and writing, stage and costume design, filmmaking and gardening—drew upon philosophy and literature, in addition to his own autobiography, to critically interrogate the world around him.
Blue and the paintings on view evidence Jarman's iconoclastic response to his HIV diagnosis in 1986, his confrontation with his own mortality, and the broader sociopolitical climate of the HIV/AIDS crisis. The monochromatic film Blue repudiates images because, according to Jarman, they 'hinder the imagination and beg a narrative and suffocate with arbitrary charm, the admirable austerity of the void.'1 Instead, the viewer confronts an unmodified screen of Yves Klein's ultramarine 'International Klein Blue' that forces one to internalise the soundtrack of music and sounds produced by Simon Fisher Turner and the disembodied voices of Tilda Swinton, Nigel Terry, John Quentin, and Jarman himself, who read a haunting combination of the artist's own poetry and autobiographical narratives from his hospital diaries. Made after an AIDS-related infection rendered him temporarily blind and following a condition whereby vivid flashes of blue light interrupted his vision, Blue not only recounts Jarman's corporeal experiences with the virus, but also demands that viewers viscerally internalise and embody the highly personal and melancholic poetry, descriptions, sounds, and music by denying them images upon which to project and escape.
Similarly, the works on view, a selection of Jarman's 'Slogan' paintings (1992–1993), reject pictorial representation. Jarman scrawls phrases such as 'Arse Injected Death Syndrome,' 'Blind August,' and 'AIDS Isle' across chaotic and garish expressionist abstract canvases that convey his personal and physical experience of living with AIDS, while critiquing tabloidsensationalism of the crisis. The paintings also demonstrate Jarman's long-standing interest in language, particularly its representational possibilities as theorised by philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein. In fact, the acidic colour palette of the 'Slogan' paintings resonates with the vibrant costumes in Jarman's film Wittgenstein that was released in September 1993. Hovering between abstraction and language, the paintings subvert the means through which the media and the government address and represent people living with AIDS and the virus. These works linger in the experience of a body failing, and a body being failed by larger systemic bias, inaction, and homophobia.
Derek Jarman is
Derek Jarman (1942–1994) was a legendary iconoclastic multidisciplinary artist. Through filmmaking, painting, writing, and gardening, he offers invaluable insight into the nature of the society in which he lived. His work drew from philosophy and literature as well as his own personal history, and his interests included Heraclitus, alchemy and the writing of John Dee, Shakespeare, contemporary music, Benjamin Britten, and gardening and the history of plants. His groundbreaking use of the Super 8 camera, used in both short and feature-length films, illustrates the same daring innovation as his paintings. His poetry and journals display an immense writing talent and his garden at Prospect Cottage in Dungeness, Kent, is revered by horticulturists worldwide. He was an ardent and forthright campaigner for gay rights, and his work is a powerful testimony to the way he dealt with his HIV status, his sexuality, homophobia in the press and their manipulation of the AIDS epidemic, and to his courageous confrontation with his own mortality.
Upcoming exhibitions of the artist's work will be held at C, and Manchester Art Gallery, UK. Recent important solo exhibitions include PROTEST!, Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin (2019); The Last of England, Void, Derry, Ireland (2019); and My garden's boundaries are the horizon, Garden Museum, London (2020). Derek Jarman: When yellow wishes to ingratiate it becomes gold is on view through August 7, 2021, at Amanda Wilkinson Gallery, London.

Everywhere we look we're hearing more and more about efficiency. Businesses hire experts to audit daily operations so they can produce a speedier production. More efficient = more work = more profit. Appliance manufacturers are always introducing the next best thing to help save busy people time. Efficient appliances are supposed to be saving energy, water, and time, but do they work as well as the older appliances?
Most of us live in areas where life is speeding past us. Some are in concrete jungles with steel monsters reaching up to the clouds. Have you stopped to consider the quietness of nature?

Don't be in the dark about how important it is to find the right light. .
Taking a test? A study shows that swapping "warm," yellowish-white lighting for "cool," bluish-white indoor lighting (which mimics natural sunlight) might improve your academic performance.
South Korean researchers had fourth-grade students take a math exam under different lighting scenarios: warm, 3500 K (a unit that measures correlated color temperature on the Kelvin scale), or cool, 6500 K. Students saw the best results when working with 6500 K lights, suggesting that this kind of lighting might enhance your cognitive state if you're tackling a difficult assignment.
Warmer, red-toned lights are your best bet here, according to the same study. The researchers found that while "cooler" lighting improved alertness and focus, "warm" lighting helped students feel more relaxed and at ease—making the lighting ideal for low-stress activities or interactions with their peers.
Research suggests that low lighting makes you feel more creative. In 2013, German researchers split 114 college students into groups of two to three, separated them by lighting conditions (dim, office-level, and bright), and asked them solve an assortment of problems that required creative thinking. Sure enough, groups that were exposed to darker conditions solved more problems than participants in other groups—and they reported feeling "free from constraints" more frequently, too.

Growth in the global development of cities, and increasing public interest in beekeeping, has led to rises in the numbers of urban apiaries. Towns and cities can provide an excellent diet for managed bees, with a diverse range of nectar and pollen available throughout a long flowering season and are often more ecologically diverse than the surrounding rural environments. Accessible urban honeybee hives are a valuable research resource to gain insights into the diet and ecology of wild pollinators in urban settings. We used DNA metabarcoding of the rbcL and ITS2 gene regions to characterise the pollen community in Apis mellifera honey, inferring the floral diet, from 14 hives across an urban gradient around Greater Manchester, UK. We found that the proportion of urban land around a hivediversity of plants foraged, and that invasive and non-native plants appear to play a critical role in the sustenance of urban bees, alongside native plant species. The proportion of improved grassland, typical of suburban lawns and livestock farms, diversity of plant pollen found in honey samples. These findings are relevant to urban landscape developers motivated to encourage biodiversity and bee persistence, in line with global bio-food security agendas.
Honey samples were sourced from 14 Apis mellifera hives; 12 from Greater Manchester, one from Cheshire and one from Lancashire. Honey samples were diluted in molecular grade water (4x 10g/25ml per sample) centrifuged at 15,000 x g for 30 minutes. DNA was then extracted from the pellet, the rbcL and ITS gene regions were amplified and PCR products sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq using a V2 flowcell. Sequencing data were analysed using the DADA2 functionality in the QIIME2 package and taxa assigned using previously published databases and the NBCI nucleotide database. Species and genus assignments were checked for plausibility in the UK using tthe Biological Records Centre Atlas of the British and Irish Flora and the Plants for a Future database, as well as online searches of UK garden centres.

The best kept secrets are basic truths. Let me explain by highlighting "first facts," a particular dimension upon which conventional wisdom often goes awry. First facts are the first-order answers to questions about discoveries and precedents like who discovered the Americas, what was the first constitution, what is the earliest known code of law, who discovered calculus, and what is the Lion King based off?
You probably alreadyBut, did you know the Magna Carta is neither Europe's first constitution nor a major innovation in protecting civil liberties, Hammurabi's code is not the oldest written code of law, and neither calculus nor the theory of evolution were solely discovered by Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin?
In other words, there's always a firstier first. Naturally, Sivowitch's law of firsts is predated by another. Stephen sounds humorous and a bit absurd. Could this law of firsts or law of eponymy be true?And if it is true, why would that be the case?
On the topic of Columbus and misguided conventional wisdom, many children also learn that Columbus's voyage disproved the Earth is flat. But, that's also not true!hich has come to be known as Given the theme of this essay, you might expect that it was not the first European constitution. And, you would be right. For example, one hundred and fifteen years before the Magna Carta was signed, King Henry I of England signed the Charter of Liberties, which promised to "abolish all the evil customs by which the Kingdom of England has been unjustly oppressed."

Long story short: after weaving a tale of lions and succession of kings and getting blank stares from the executives, one producer suggested, "This is Hamlet [with lions]." And according to Grant, "Suddenly, everyone got it." One producer remarked, "Of course it was Hamlet—the uncle kills the father, and the son has to avenge his father's death. So then we decided it was going to be Hamlet with lions."
But, this single point of reference can also be blinding. Hamlet is part of the Western canon, and the name is quite familiar. But, how did Hamlet come to be so successful?What did Shakespeare do to combine an unusual place with something familiar?And, what do we mean by something familiar?

Meat consumption has major environmental impacts. Among them are:
Deforestation caused by cattle raising and increased production of soybeans for food.
Water scarcity is increasing due to its often unnecessary use for livestock production and slaughter.
Soil contamination has also become more severe, because pesticides and other substances are implanted in them to be ingested by livestock.
Find out more about these environmental impacts by reading this article.
Losses of meat consumption to the environment
Meat consumption can cause numerous damage to the environment.
In addition to the increase in gas emissions, the increase in meat consumption accelerates the process of reducing forests, which in turn are responsible for carbon retention.
There are studies that indicate that western countries must reduce meat consumption by 90% to control global warming.
Moreover, when consuming meat, it should be in mind that this action will generate cultural, moral, social consequences, in addition to impacts such as the environmental cost, which is not added to the price of meat. This cost also does not include health, infrastructure and sanitation treatments to supply the damage that is caused to agriculture.
In this way, the meat industry expands by taking with it deforestation, contamination and waste of water and energy, in addition to polluting the air and depleting the soils.
It also reads: Why has vegetarianism become popular?
Water scarcity and meat consumption
According to studies conducted by the journal Plos One, water scarcity already affects more than 2.7 billion people each month each year.
In addition to the water consumed every day by the agricultural industry, there is still the problem of contamination being an imminent risk.
Meat consumption and the emission of polluting gases
Meat consumption directly affects the emission of polluting gases.
Meat production is responsible for the emission of polluting gases and greatly increases the effects of global warming. Moreover, if we do not reflect on the limits of production, the preservation of our forests will suffer the consequences, as is already happening with environmental pacts.
According to studies conducted by Greenpeace, meat production emits the same volume of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) as cars, trucks and ships around the world.
Read also: The 10 benefits of vegetarian food
What is the importance of reducing meat consumption for sustainability?
Food is strictly linked to sustainability, and there is data to prove this. According to a study by the National Institute of Statistics, in 2020, each person consumes on average 20.8 kilos of beef annually in Portugal. According to the same research, the consumption of pork and dairy products reaches 41.4 kilos per year.
How can veganism and vegetarianism help?
Being vegetarian or vegan, you contribute to the planet by decreasing meat consumption.
Vegetarianism excludes any type of meat from the diet, be it cow, pork, chicken, or others. But vegetarians consume animal products such as eggs, milk and their derivatives.
Vegans, on the other hand, do not consume any animal products, either in food or even in clothing. Both groups can help to reduce meat consumption.
So how to decrease meat consumption?
We know that reducing meat consumption, rather than ending it at all, is a viable option that fits into the routine of most people. However, we need to know how to replace it in a healthy and correct way, to avoid the lack of nutrients.
Examples of grains with a high protein content, which can replace the consumption of red meat, as well as that of birds are:
When they are consumed with rice, corn or quinoa, for example, they replace animal protein.
Combined with this, vegetables, vegetables and vegetables in general are very important for a balanced meal. Kale and spinach, for example, are iron-rich foods, which is very important when thinking about replacing meat.
4 positive environmental impacts on the environment from the decrease in meat consumption
Now that we have described the negative environmental impacts of consuming meat for the environment, let us now go to the positives of avoiding its consumption.
In just one day without meat, you:
You save 24 m² of land.
You stop emitting 11 kg of CO².
You save 8 kg of grain.
Save 60 liters of water from freshwater reservoirs.
If in one day we get all these benefits, imagine in a month, or even in a year?

For example, if she really wants to go to a concert but you are concerned about her safety, buy an extra ticket for you and a friend, and tell her she can go to the concert, but that you will drive her there, attend with your friend in seats that are not too close to hers, and you will then meet her at a pre-designated spot to take her home.

:) </s> I hauthor Frances O'Roark Dowell regarding her newest book, Ten Miles Past Normal.
What were you trying to accomplish when you started writing Ten Miles Past Normal? What do you feel you’ve accomplished with the finished product?
With every book I write, I’m hoping to write something that readers will relate to and find themselves in. Ten Miles Past Normal is at heart a story about someone who wants to be like everyone else, but just can’t figure out how to do it
I’ve always wanted to live out in the country. But whenever I bring it up with my kids, they’re like, “No way!” They don’t want to move away from their friends. So I saw the comic possibilities of a farm girl feeling stranded in a way of life she’s just not that psyched about.
The problem is, we often have to sacrifice bits and pieces of ourselves to fit in. Some people are very willing to do this, if it means they get to be part of the group. Some people just won’t do it, and they’re the ones who spend high school on the outside. Some people—and Janie is like this, and I was, too—want to be normal and fit in, but they just can’t figure out how.
And then there are people like Monster in Ten Miles, who are accepted by everyone just by being themselves. There’s always one kid like this in every school. They’re kind of a miracle.
I start with a triggering idea—i.e. What if there was this girl who lived on a farm, but wished she lived in a subdivision like everyone else? Why is she unhappy with farm life? How’s it affecting her? Then I just start writing, and get my characters “talking” on the page. It’s a kind of freewriting that lets me explore. I try to come up with some backstory—what’s their family like, what’s their house like, who’s their best friend, that sort of thing—so I can start getting a sense of who they are and how they live.
What kind of research,

s academic failure, and the UglyMan going around attacking everybody. More to the point, the chaos hinted at in Buffy and Willow's little exchange is present in abundance in Nightmares. From the blurb about active listening by the teacher and the ponderings about facing fear by The Master, one can surmise that this episode is about facing fears and being heard, rather than hiding. We all have to wake up sometime; we can't stay in a coma forever. Upon waking, we often discover that reality is not quite as bad as the nightmare world. Billy wakes and finds the Little League Coach, an ordinary guy, not a monsters, is the guilty one and is subsequently carted off to jail. Rather than continuing to run, Xander turns and cuts the scary clown down to size by punching him and taunting him. Hee! Ede, upbeat music plays, and Hank holds true to his promise to show up for Buffy. However, we'll see over the course of the series that the Scoobies have yet to truly conquer their fears. For Buffy and Giles particularly, all their fears come to pass, figuratively, if not literally: Buffy's dad does let her down, her academics do suffer because of her Slaying (though she always has the potential to excel), she does die at The Master's hands in Prophecy Girl, she finds herself buried alive and having to dig herself out of her own grave, and subsequently feeling like a vampire in season 6. Giles does suffer from doubts that he can fulfill his duty as Watcher, and over time, is less and less able to aid Buffy.
Final note: The logistics of the nightmares confuse me. I guess everyone remembered what happened but did the Sunnydale repression thing since Willow and Xander remember Buffy being a vampire. But did The Master actually walk free briefly, did Hank actually talk to Buffy, and did the punk's mom actually come to the school? If so, what did they think about what they were doing? If not, were their doubles walking around? Did everyone else really have to take Buffy's surpise test? Did Buffy actually turn into a vampire or not? If she did why was she good and still the Slayer? And how did she get from the cemetary to the hospital in broad daylight? And why did Buffy turn into a vampire when The Master didn't even bite her? If she didn't actually get turned then what exactly happened? Why did no one but Buffy think it was strange that Billy was wandering around the school? My brain hurts.]
Joyce shakes Buffy awake, telling her it's time to go to school. [Buffy again looks cute in braids; I guess it's supposed to be a thing that she generally wears braids when she goes to sleep, at least in the beginning. Sleeping on a crocheted pillow sounds uncomfortable though.] Buffy surprises Joyce by eagerly looking forward to the school day. [
School, by the lockers. Buffy and Willow talk about Joyce and Hank's divorce: Hank still lives in LA and visits occasionally, they were separated for a while, the divorce was finalized the year before. Willow mentions that her parents are non-communicative. Buffy hints that she feels that her being called to be the Slayer factored into her parents' divorce.
Classroom. Cordy is looking in her mirror compact and bitches to Xander and Wendell about blocking her light. Xander and Wendell snark about Cordy to Buffy and Willow. Xander asks about the homework and has to be reminded that it's "active listening" and he demonstrated it with the [female] teacher the day before. He does remember the tight sweater the teacher was wearing, though. [Heh. Xander: always thinking about sex.] Class begins and the teacher starts lecturing about active listening:
As the teach is talking, Buffy notices a little boy, who we later learn is Billy [who bears a striking resemblence to the Annointed One, but luckily manages to be more interesting], standing in the doorway of the classroom. When Wendell opens up his textbook, tarantulas come crawling out of it. Everyone screams and Billy apologizes.
Entrance of school. Joyce drives up to drop Buffy off. Buffy mentions that she's been having nightmares, but doesn't want to discuss it. She's also worried that Hank is not going to show up.
Outside, at the picnic benches. Wendell is sitting, very zoned out. The Scoobies ask him about what happened with the book and the spiders. Wendell corrects Xander, spiders are "not insects, they're arachnids!" Xander: "they're from the Middle East?" [Yes, stupid, but still, heh. Love Buffy's blase "Don't know" when Wendell accuses everyone of always mixing up arachnids and insects. Hee!] Cordy pops in to inform Buffy of the pending history test

you see someone driving down the road breaking the law and then suddenly a police officer appears?
On this day, we found ourselves the sixth car in a line of cars going about 45 miles per hour. We were at the rear of the pack, so I was going to have to wait for the cars in front of me to pass. And they apparently had little motivation to do that. Eventually, two cars turned off. Then one finally passed. Then another. I was now in prime position to pass.
“He got you,” my wife said.
About five seconds later, here came the blue lights.
I pulled off to the side of the road and could feel the laughter as the other car went by me (at 45 mph).
About two minutes later he came back to my car. “I’ve issued you a written warning. Have a good day, sir.”
No. YOU have a good day, sir. In fact, have a GREAT day, new best friend!
We headed on down the road, and then this thought occurred to me: I needed to find that car and let them know that they no longer got to delight in my comeuppance, because I just got a warning. To do that, I would have to drive probably 90, something that was not going to happen because (a) I shouldn’t be driving that fast and (b) my wife became the ultimate speed monitor in the car every time we hit 56 mph.
At one point, we had this exchange:
ME: So is it like I have a learner’s permit now and you’re the driving instructor?
ME: You and I have the exact same number of speeding tickets today: zero.
OUR SON: But you got a warning for speeding.
I never did find the slow car so that I could let them know about my warning victory, although I did monitor every gas station we passed, just in case. Granted, had I found the car stopped somewhere, I am pretty sure I would not have gone and said anything to them. For one thing, I don’t think my new driving instructor would have allowed. </s> KAUAI, HAWAII
“The Garden Isle” – The Kauai Travel Guide
South – Poipu & Koloa
Poipu is where most of the super resorts are located on the island. There are several breathtaking beaches and manicured hotels. It is worth visiting the Maha’Ulepu Trail, grabbing a drink at the Grand Hyatt afterwards. It is generally the area of the island that has the most sun, but beaches can have powerful crashing waves (Poipu – literally means crashing waves in Hawaiian)
West – Hanapepe, Waimea, Port Allen
Taking the Kalalau Trail which takes you into a beach about 2miles in. This is where many people turn around after enjoying the beach (the waves here are hazardous, so going in the water is not advised). This is a pleasant 4-mile hike and can get you back to Hanalei in time for a late lunch.
The fork that takes you south is the start of another trail 2 miles down to the Hanakapiai Fallrealize the Hanakapiai Falls is connected to the Kalalau Trail. I recommend the hike to the falls, but this is often very muddy, and you need to hop over or wander through the creek/river a couple of times. This trail to the falls is more difficult to navigate and takes longer to hike but does not have some of the steep inclines that are found on the first two miles of the Kalalau Trail. Then you can enjoy a swim in the waterfalls and make the return trip back. This is a total of 8 miles and will take most people the better part of the day to complete. Pack a lunch, bring your bathing suit and bring plenty of water. The hike to the waterfalls is well worth it!

He was an astronomer; this is all we know about his father and we learn this from Archimedes work, The Sandreckoner. Archimedes was educated in Alexandria, Egypt. Archimedes friend, Heracleides, wrote a biography about him, but this work was lost. Some authors report that he visited Egypt and there invented a tool known as Archimedes' screw. This is a pump, still used today in parts of the world. It is likely that, when he was a young man, Archimedes studied with the followers of Euclid.

Archimedes was a Greek mathematician and scientist. He was born in Syracuse, Sicily in the year 287 B.C. He was educated in Alexandria, Egypt. Due to the lack of information about Greek mathematics, many Greek mathematicians and their works are hardly known. Archimedes is the exception. Archimedes was very preoccupied with mathematics. For instance, he often forgot to eat and bathe because of his always wanted to solve problems. He found areas and volumes of spheres, cylinders and plain shapes. He showed that the volume of a sphere is two-thirds of the volume of the smallest cylinder that can contain the sphere. Archimedes was so proud of this concept that he requested that a cylinder enclos ...

Fitbit’s activity trackers have a history of causing rashes and apparently, its latest revision isn’t exempt. With one recall already under its belt, the company’s solution to solve similar issues with its new Surge band is rather simple: take if off every now and again.
After consulting with their dermatologists, the spokesperson said it is likely that the users experiencing skin rashes are perhaps wearing the band too tightly at which time sweat, water or even soap could be getting trapped between the device and the skin. Too much pressure or friction against the skin could also be causing issues.
These issues should resolve quickly when users take a break from the device, usually within hours or days.
That’d be fine except for the fact that it would completely defeat the entire purpose of owning a Fitbit as it tracks your sleep, steps taken and all sorts of other information.
In other words, they’re no longer willing to foot the blame for these rare skin reactions. If you recall, the company recalled its Force band last year after nearly two percent of users reported skin rashes.
Skin irritation isn’t limited to the Fitbit, however, as wearers of competing devices have also reported issues.

Staffing is one of the biggest hurdles ahead. There is already a teacher shortage in the state. Californiaand roughly 25,000 new teaching assistants as transitional kindergarten expands, experts say.
I wanted to know when and how to sign up for the lottery for your school. My daughter will be of age next 2023-2024 school year to start transitional kindergarten and would like to apply. We live in Tarzana. Thank you!
I have recently learned that some districts in the state have already extended the age for universal TK to all four year olds; however our district is stating that this is not the case and the cutoff is turning 4 by February. So is it up to the individual districts or led by a state choice?
Several districts are making TK/Kinder combo classes to save money, which makes it extremely difficult to teach TK the way is supposed to be taught. Are combo classes going to be allowed?
As a Preschool Teacher, my comment is that we along with our parents are the first learning foundation for most of the children that pass on to TK and Kindergarten and yet the rate of pay is such a vast difference. When will this be rectified so that we will be able to make a decent living and not be considered as low income?
Again, we are teaching social/emotional skills as well as the well-rounded child which prepares them for the next level of learning. I have been told many times by kindergarten teachers that they can usually tell when a child has had preschool because they have the necessary transitional skills to enter into the classroom. Why not improve upon the Universal Transitioning Skills we already have in Head Start!
I am a Head Start teacher. I would like to know what my options are in the changes to early childhood ( grants, credentials…) so that I may prepare myself to meet the opportunity of advancement in my profession and better serve the children in my class.
In Preschool the children have to be supervised in the bathroom, is that going to change?
There are some kids in this age group that are not independent bathroom users. Will they be allowed to be in TK?
Will ECE teachers with Teacher Permits and higher, be able to teach TK? Some do not have BA’s.
Some ECE teachers with permits do have BA’s, but not with an educational major. Will they be able to teach TK or will they have to get a multiple subject credential?
What is being put in place to get ECE teachers the needed K-5 credential?
Lauret: there is no research that early entry into traditional kindergarten better prepares learners for life long success. Traditional adult led learning environments may indoctrinate children into how to sit, how to raise their hands to go to the bathroom, how to memorize for the test, but it does not provide them with any long term cognitive advantages. That is why we continue to celebrate that Kindergarten be optional….the research is clear. We need to support the best quality day cars and ECE centers that we can, with care providers who are educated inn, not put little children into public schools designed for older children.

Many people mistakenly believe New York City has lost residents and jobs to the suburbs between 1970 and 1990. While NYC's share of the regional population/jobs has shrank by about 6 percentage points, the number of people living or working in the city has increased by over 3%. Basically, growth in the suburbs has outpaced the city itself.
A decade by decade look at the city/suburban percentage change, though, produces a more tumultuous picture. Between 1970 and 1980, New York City lost 9% of its residents and 7% of its jobs, knocking down its regional share of each by over 5 percentage points. This atrophy was ameliorated during the 1980's by 11% growth, but that expansion was not enough to regain its share of the region's jobs or population.
From 1980 to 1990, both the city and suburbs had residential and employment growth around 12%, except for NYC's suburbs in New York State, where employment increased by 20%.
The one constant amongst both decades is the location of strongest workplace growth, the suburban portions of NYS, where growth was over 20% each decade. Total expansion from 1970 to 1990 in this subregion was 45%.
Canges from 1970 to 1980

Billie Eilish: The World's A Little Blurry director R.J. Cutler opens up to E!
Directed by R.J. Cutler, the doc follows Billie Eilish as she navigates life at just 17, balancing the pressures of a hectic touring schedule with the typical teenage concerns of lackluster boyfriends and driver's license exams, all whilenow anything about Britney Spears outside of admiring her work. But, I do know a lot about Billie and I know that she has a tremendous support system and infrastructure," Cutler told E!News just hours before the film's Feb. 25 premiere. "I mean, her mom says it outright—it's not implied or suggested or hinted at in the film, it's a subject of the film. The fact that Billie's parents are with her all the time, that she is surrounded by family all the time, in large part to help give her the tools and the resources to avoid pitfalls that are common to young people when they become a successful and as famous as she's become so quickly and so early in her life and career."
That said, there are still moments in the film that point to the sometimes suffocating trappings of fame. There's the aforementioned meet-and-greet seemingly full of older men, the reasoning being they have connections to the record label or radio stations that play her music. Eilish, furious with her team and her mother for allowing it to happen, later likens the experience to having been "thrown to the wolves."
"I think it's complicated," Cutler said when asked if he got any sense that it was all beginning to take its toll on Eilish. "I mean, the fame is a byproduct of her success. Her success is a wonderful thing. It creates a lot of opportunities. It creates a power and access to things that she didn't have before. It allows her to perform in front of bigger and bigger audiences. I mean, there's so much that that comes along with it. It confirms her place in the culture, but it's complicated. There are burdens that come along with it that are not insignificant and you see those burdens as well. So you see the full 360 degrees of being as famous as Billie Eilish becomes, as suddenly as she becomes."
"My goal was to tell the truth and the full truth, and to tell a complete portrait of who this young woman is and the experiences that she went through in this year," Cutler said. "So it wasn't difficult to include the more challenging material because it's truthful to who she was. My goal was to see her as clearly as possible."
"She is the only one who makes decisions," he said when asked about her agency over her career. "She's the decision maker, she's the boss. In fact, the only thing I ever saw her not be the boss of was this film, [of] which she gave me final cut. She trusted me and she supported me. She recognized that I was there making a work of art out of her life, and my filmmaking that was happening while her life was happening. But in every other aspect of her business or life, Billie's the boss. She has surrounded herself with very talented, wise adults who recognize that. As one of them once said to me, she's right about everything. It doesn't mean they don't advise her sometimes if they don't think she's right, but when she makes a decision, they support her."

51 October 30, A New Assessment of Computers in the Classroom The Vanishing World-Machine (Steve Talbott) Habits of the Technological Mind #2 DEPARTMENTS Announcements and Resources Elephants. It is part of an attempt on my part to capture, in a slightly more disciplined and systematic way (so far as the scope of a mere newsletter allows) some of the basic issues over which Kevin Kelly and I wrangled in our dialogue concerning mechanisms and organisms. (See NF #133, 136, and 139.) The upshot of the current essay is that mechanistic explanations cannot even explain machines, let alone the natural world. But, as I also point out, the argument here connects with a whole rang On another note: Some subscribers are no longer receiving NetFuture because their spam blockers are either rejecting its "illicit" content, or rejecting all mail from the St. Johns University listserver that distributes the newsletter. (The listserver is strictly administered and includes only bona fide publications. But since it handles many lists, some institution-level blockers decide that it is producing a suspiciously large amount of email.) Also, when I send out NetFuture, I receive back more and more automated requests from spam blockers inviting me to go to some website or other and verify that NetFuture is a legitimate publication. I never respond to these requests. Apart from the impracticality of the situation (imagine hundreds or thousands of subscribers employing such blockers) I regard the requests themselves as spam. "Please come on over to my website and click on a button or two" sure sounds like spam to me. It's a good illustration of a point I frequently make: the attempt to automate solutions to human problems all too easily contributes to a worsening of the problems, which may have arisen in the first place from the automation of formerly personal transactiA New Assessment of Computers in the Classbstantial book, just released, may help to alter the tenor of the public discussion about computers in the classroom. It's called Flickering Mindsd. Written by National Magazine Award winner, Todd Oppenheimer, the book is sober, well-researched, thorough, and marked by as much undeniable good sense as you are likely to find in any book about education today. I hope to have more to say about the book in the future. Meanwhile, here are some of Oppenheimer's conclusions: ** Computer technology will not go away. The challenge for schools is to reject fads and use the tools sensibly. Generalizing: "technology is used too intensely in the younger grades and not intensely enough -- in the proper areas -- in the upper grades". The failure in the upper grades is that students are given no deep understanding of the technology, but instead are allowed to occupy themselves with the "hot programs of the moment". ** The computer fad has temporarily blinded us to a central truth that has been evident for thousands of years: the crucial process in education is not a technological one but a human one. In the words of the Forbes editor, Stephen Kindel, "the best schools will eventually recognize a fact that's been apparent since Plato sat on Socrates' knee: Education depends on the intimate contact between a good teacher -- part performer, part dictator, part cajoler -- and an inquiring student". In the end, Kindel added, "". ** "The computer industry [Oppenheimer writes] has managed to survive on such a plethora of hype, habituating all of us to accept such a string of unfulfilled promises that we've long since lost the ability to see what new inventions really can and cannot do. Schools as a result have become industry's research-and-development labs as well as its dumping ground -- while asking very little in return. ** We are self-deluded if we delight in how computers enable students to "take over" their own education. "The students aren't taking over in most of these classrooms. The computer is". It's hard for some observers to recognize that "downloading a captivating live software applet from a NASA site, which some web designer has loaded with a few earnest questions to satisfy somebody's grant requirements, does not a satisfactory lesson make. Nor does simply writing a paper about this material, based on some extra Internet 'research'". As Ken Komoski, the director of an educational-products watchdog group puts it, when a boy turns in a paper " ** One study after another has shown that "whenever tutoring is matched against some competing pedagogy, including technology, tutoring wins handily". In one "gold-standard" study, tutored students were found to ** "With only a few exceptions, computer technology has become one more feature on an already crowded landscape of high-stimulus consumer items -- TV, video games, pop music, action films, high-caffeine coffee shops on every urban corner, the list goes on and on. The primary function of that topography is to keep people buying; a side effect is that it keeps people perpetually hyped up and distracted from activities that might be more soothing and reflective. We have become, in a sense, a society of masochists. We bemoan youngsters' turning to violence while pouring millions into making suffering human beings the stuff of their entertainment. We criticize them for their poor self-discipline and short attention spans; then our commercial enterprises do everything possible to crowd and fragment their minds still further". ** For all the publicity value of the slogan, "leave no child behind", the policies associated with the slogan oddly ignore the libraries of insight now available to educators about what makes children excel. "One would think that the nation's policy makers, armed with this information, could come up with something better than a lengthier sheet of multiple-choice questions, millions of new test essays, and a corps of evaluators who don't have the skill, or the time, to do their job". Or, I would add, the ** Finally, our most inspiring moments in school almost always turn out to have revolved around great teachers -- a fact educators have recognized since the beginning of formal education -- "yet in some bizarre act of cultural sadomasochism, we continually pretend it isn't true. We let teachers twist in the breeze seemingly forever. for their trouble -- far less, proportionately Related articles: -----------------VANISHING WORLD-MACHINE Habits of the Technological Mind #2 Steve Talbott ([email protected]) During the Renaissance and scientific revolution -- so the conventional For inquirers such as Alberti, Columbus, Da Vinci, Gilbert, Galileo, and Newton it was as if a veil had fallen away. Instead of seeking wisdom in a spiritual realm or in appeals to authority or in the complex mazes of medieval ratiocination, the great figures at the dawn of the modern era chose to look at the world for themselves and record its testimony. It was an exhilarating time, when the world stood fresh and open before them, ripe for discovery. And they quickly discovered that certain questions could be answered in a satisfyingly precise, demonstrable, and incontestable way. They lost interest iturned their attention to the pin itself as a physical phenomenon available for investigation. There is some truth in this rather-too-neat view of the past -- a truth that makes the central fact of our own era all the more astonishing: as scientific inquirers, we have shown ourselves increasingly content to disregard the world around us. Judging from the dominant, well-funded scientific and technical ventures, we much prefer to navigate our own arcane labyrinths of abstract ratiocination, whether they consist of the infinitely refined logic we impress upon silicon, or the physicist's esoteric classificational systems for subatomic particles, or the universe-spanning equations of the cosmologists. It's true that we no longer askbut we are certainly entranced with the question, "How much data can we store on the head of a pin?" And our trance is only deepened when the answer turns out to be: "a hell of a lot". What many haven't realized yet is how easily our preoccupation with the invisible constructions on that pinhead blind us to the world we or The alluring data, fully as much as any dancing angel, distracts us from more mundane realities. We have, as a result, been learning to ignore as vulgar or profane the "crude" content of our senses. This content may be useful for occasional poetic excursions, but it is only a base temptation for the properly ascetic student of science, who moves within a more rarefied, mathematical atmosphere. "It must be admitted", remarked the British historian of consciousness, Owen Barfield, that the matter dealt with by the established sciences is coming to be composed less and less of actual observations, more and more of such things as pointer-readings on dials, the same pointer-readings arranged by electronic computers, inferences from inferences, higher mathematical formulae and other recondite abstractions. Yet modern science began with a turning away from abstract cerebration to objective observation! (1963) It is not that we lack all interest in the material world, but only that our interest is of a peculiar, one-sided sort. Surrounded by the remarkable physical machinery bequeathed to us by science, we are more concerned with manipulating the world than with seeing it profoundly. In fact, the distinction between seeing and manipulating scarcely even registers within science any longer. Philosopher Daniel Dennett tells us that the proper discipline of biology" (1995, p. 228). It may seem counterintuitive at first, but I will argue that our preoccupation with workable mechanisms, far from contradicting our preference for abstract cerebration, is itself a primary symptom of our flight into abstraction and our refusal to seeour failure to interest ourselves in seeing and understanding the observable world (as opposed to manipulating it like so much gadgetry) is as fateful for our knowledge enterprises today as th One consequence of our failure is that we have felt justified in substituting sadly inadequate mechanistic models for the world we no longer bother to observe. On Making a Game of Life ------------------------ There is a computer program called the Game of Life. The program divides your computer screen into a fine-meshed rectangular grid, wherein each tiny cell can be either bright or dark, on or off, "alive" or "dead". The idea is to start with an initial configuration of bright or live cells and then, with each tick of the clock, see how the configuration changes as these simple rules are applied: ** If exactly two of a cell's eight immediate neighbors are alive at the clock tick ending one interval, the cell will remain in its current state (alive or dead) during the next interval. ** If exactly three of a cell's immediate neighbors are alive, the cell . ** And in all other cases -- that is, if less than two or more than three of the neighbors are alive -- the cell will be dead during the next interval. You can, then (as the usual advice goes) think of a cell as dying from loneliness if too few of its neighbors are alive, and dying from over- crowding if too many of them are alive. What intrigues many researchers is the fact that, given well-selected initial configurations, fascinating patterns are produced as the program unfolds. Some of these patterns remain stable or even reproduce themselves endlessly. Investigations of such "behavior" have led to the new discipline known as "artificial life". Referring to the Game of Life and the three-part rule governing its performance, Dennett has remarked that "the entire physics of the Life world is captured in that single, unexceptioned law". As a result, in the Life world "our powers of prediction are perfect: there is no [statistical] noise, no uncertainty, no probability less than one". The Life world "perfectly instantiates the determinism made famous by LaPlace: if we are given the state description of this world at an instant, we observers can perfectly predict the future instants by the simple a These are startlingly errant statementday. The three-part rule, after all, is hardly a law of physics. It is an algorithm -- roughly, a program or precise recipe -- and its deterministic, LaPlacian perfection holds true only so long as we remain within the perfectly abstract realm of the algorithm's crystalline logical structure. Try to embody this structure in any particular stuff of the world, and its perfection suddenly vanishes. For example, if you install it in a running computer, you can be absolutely sure that the algorithm will fail at some point, if not because of spilled coffee or a power failure or an operating system glitch, then because of normal wear and tear on the computer over time. Contrary to Dennett's claim, you will find in every physical implementation of this algorithm that there is noise, no certainty, and no probability equal to one. Dennett's comments about the Game of Life illustrate how the world can disappear behind a grid of abstractions. He is so transfixed by the logical perfection of the algorithm that he loses sight of the distinction between it and the real stuff that happens to embody it. With scarcely a thought he shifts in imagination from disembodied rules to physics -- a move made easy by the fact that his physics is essentially a mere reification of the rules. This carries huge implications. If, as he tells us, biology is engineering, and if the devices we engineer are nothing in essence but their algorithms, then real dogs, rocks, trees, and ation. While it is not the topic of this essay, the enveloping and thickening fog of abstraction is evident on every hand. Look, for example, at almost any branch of the public discourse and you will find that its subjects -- the elderly, the sick, victims of war, soldiers, political leaders, terrorists, corporate CEOs, wilderness areas, oil wells, fetuses, doctors, voters -- appear only as generalized debating tokens torn loose from complex, full-fleshed reality. Their assigned place in an established logic of discourse is almost all that matters. The public discussion then bec The Externality of Machine Algorithms ------------------------------------- We can, I believe, learn a great deal about certain tendencies of science and society by looking more deeply into this symptomatic disappearance of the material world into abstraction -- a disappearance that will seem as strange to our successors as medieval attempts to understand motion by ruminating over Aristotelian texts now seem to us. It will help, in understanding these tendencies, to grasp as clearly as possible the relation between an algorithm, such as the one embodied in the Game of Life program, and the machine executing it. And the first thing to say is that the algorithm really is there -- in the machine (so long as it is working properly) and therefore in the world. Which is to say: we can articulate the parts of a machine so that, when viewed at an appropriate level of abstraction, they "obey" and manifest the rules of the Game of Life. But it is crucial to see the external and nonessential nature of these rules. Yes, they are embodied in the machine -- but only in a rather high-level and abstract sense. The rules are not intrinsic to the machine. That is, they are not necessary laws of the copper, silicon, plastic, and other materials. To see the rules we almost have to blind ourselves to the particular character of these materials -- materials that could, in fact, be very different without altering the logic of arrangement we are interested in. In other words, the determining idea of the machine as a humanly designed artifact is something we impose upon it "from the outside"; there is nothing inherent in copper, silicon, and plastic that dictates or urges or even suggests their assembly into a computer. We had to have the idea, and we had to bring it to bear upon the materials through their proper arrangement. The functional idea of the computer abides in this This external relation between the material machine and the logic of the idea imposed upon it explains a double disconnection. On the one hand, the logic fails to characterize fully the material entity it is associated with. We can construct computers out of vastly different materials and still see exactly the same rule-following when they execute the Game of Life. The game's algorithm leaves its embodiment radically undefined (or "underdetermined"). But just as differently constructed physical machines can, at a certain level of abstraction, follow the same rules, so, too, the same machine can be made to follow different rules. This is obvious enough in the case of a computer, which can execute entirely different software algorithms. But it remains true more generally: when a new context arises, an existing piece of technology may become a tool for a previously unforeseen function -- as when, trivially, the handle of a screwdriver is used to hammer in a tack, or when a typewriter's alphanumeric keyboard serves to construct graphic images rather than text. The underlying artifact remains . So we see that machines of completely different materials and configuration can serve the same function, and a machine of given materials and configuration can serve different functions. The functional idea, then -- whether it is a computer algorithm or the cleaning procedure of a washing machine -- is by no means equivalent to a full understanding of the machine as a part of the material world. The parts of the machine present us with a physical reality we are able to employ in a mechanical construction, but our employment of them does not explain the physical There is some irony in all this. To recognize a governing idea externally imposed upon the parts of a machine through the manner of their arrangement is to grant an irreducibly human and subjective element in every machine as a machine. As Michael Polanyi remarked many years ago, a knowledge of physics and chemistry can never tell us what a machine is (1962, pp. 328-35). For such an understanding we have to know (among other things) something about the human context in which it will operate, the human purposes it was designed to serve, and the particular functional idea that guided the builders in coordinating the machine's physical principles. So while mechanistic thinkers profess a great fondness for objectivity, which they interpret to mean "freedom from human influence", their predilection for machine-based explanations marries them to human- centered, designer-centered modes of thought. In fact, for all their . The world, after all, is not a humanly designed machine. Whatever material principles we summon to account for the phenomena we observe, they will fail in the accounting if they go no deeper than the mechanistic . already suggested, one indication of our tendency to ignore the observable world lies in the force of our temptation, following Dennett, to separate the machine's algorithm from the machine itself and then allow the former to overshadow the latter. The temptation is no small matter, given the overwhelming commitment to machine-like explanations within mainstream science. For a mechanistic science, the machine's reduction to .? Th. But to leave the matter there -- and nearly all those who share Arthur's sentiment about the mathematical essence of things do leave the matter there -- is to reveal a blind spot at least as gaping as any irrational lacuna in the thought of our ancestors. After all, mathematics in its purely formal exactness tells us nothing at all about the material wld. And we can establish this problematic relation -- we can have more than our pure mathematics in mental isolation -- only by understanding the non-mathematical terms of the relation. Mathematics alone cannot tell us what the mathematics is being applied to. This is already evident with simple, quantitative statements. It's one thing to say "5" and quite another to say "5 pounds of force" or "5 pounds of mass". In the latter case, while we may take comfort from the conciseness of "5", we're now also up against the conceptual darkness of "force" and "matter". The number, however exact, can illuminate the material world only to the degree we know what we mean by "force" and "matter" -- terms that have vexed every scientist who ever dared to think about them. What physicist Richard Feynman said about energy is true of many other fundamental scientific concepts as well: "we have no knowledge of wha). To ignore the darkness in key terms of our science -- to claim that mathematics gives us the essence of things when we can't even say what the things are and we have no non-mathematical language adequate to them -- is to be no less in the grip of nonsense than were those medieval thinkers who were content to explain the character of gold by appealing to an occult quality of "goldness". Mathematics, as a self-contained, "essence- yielding" discipline, offers a pseudo-explanation no more helpful than the occult quality. It does no more good for us merely to assume we know what the mathematics is being applied to than it did for our predecessors to assume they knew what goldness was. An elementary point, you might think. But the scientist and engineer have shown a powerful tendency to conceive their desired mechanisms through an ever more disciplined focus upon mathematics, algorithm, and software, blithely inattentive to the character of the world the experimental apparatus is coercing into algorithmic "obedience". It is true (and a remarkable accomplishment) that, unlike our medieval forerunners, we have perfected a method for obtaining workable devices. In fact, many such as Daniel Dennett ("biology is engineering") would more or less collapse our entire project of understanding into a single-minded pursuit of workable devices. But in doing so they increasingly attend, in their anthropocentric way, only to the sort of clean, mathematical structure they temporarily manage to impose upon these devices at a high level of abstraction. That is, they are interested in seeing only machines, and in seeing machines only as manageable abstractions. Accordingly, the device itself, as physical phenomenon, recedes from view while the immaterial logic we have associated with it consumes our attention. In our quest for understanding we have become obsessed with the equivalent of angelic hosts bearing data in a timeless algorithmic dance, and whether the dance proceeds on the head of a pin or along silicon pathways or within the deeply worn logical grooves of our own minds hardly matters. The dancers are, from our preferred point of view, pure and chaste, insubstantial, uncontaminated by gross matter. They give us a kind of otherworldly "physics", as Dennett claimed, free of noise and uncertainty. The only way for us to break the hypnotic spell of our own abstract cerebrations is to open our senses again so as to re-experience the world we have been fleeing, much as our ancestors of several centuries ago broke the medieval spell and looked out at a new world. But just as it took those earlier pioneers centuries to understand what breaking free really meant -- medieval thought habits persisted even in Newton -- so, too, it may require a long time for us to escape the trance of mechanistic thought and begin to recognize the living qualities of the substances we have lns. Looking Ahead ------------- It is time to pause and ask where these prefatory remarks might lead us in examining mechanistic science and its technological foundations. I offer here a bare statement of several theses as a kind of prospectus for future articles in this series. First, as we have begun to see, the resort to mathematical formalism, whether it is a formalism of equations, rules, logic, or algorithms, is inadequate even to explain a machine. The explanatory logic -- conceived by us and imposed upon the machine -- relates to our purposes and operations, and, as a genuine lawfulness, remains in a sense external to the actual substance of the machine. If our science is a science of such formalisms governing a world-machine, then it cannot give us any full understanding of this world-machine. Second, nothing in the natural world -- including inanimate nature -- is machinelike if by "machine" we refer to the human artifacts we usually call by this name. The governing idea of a machine is imposed upon it by a designer through a proper arrangement of parts; the idea is not intrinsic to the parts, not demanded by them, not the necessary expression of their existence. Nature, on the other hand, has no designer -- at least not one of this external sort. We cannot think of laws on one side and a substance obeying or "instantiating" the laws on the other. Rather, the laws belong to the substance itself as an expression of its essential character. The lawfulness of a machine is in part a cultural artifact; the lawfulness of the physical world is through and through the intrinsic expression of its own being. And we can understand this being only to the degree we penetrate and illuminate the more or less opaque terms of our science -- "force", "mass", "energy", and all the rest. Third, the immanent mathematical lawfulness we do discover in the natural world is never the law or the explanation of whatever transpires in the world. It is merely an implicit aspect of the substantive (but largely ignored) phenomenal reality tha, some worldly process, that exhibits the given mathematical character. The relation between the mathematical character and the reality in which it is found is the relation between syntax and semantics. We see this same relation between the formal grammar and the meaning of our speech. The grammar is an implicit lawfulness. But, given the grammatical structure alone, we cannot know the meaningful content of the speech. The structure is abstracted from this content, leaving behind much of what matters most. This, I believe, is a crucial point, deserving a great deal of elaboration (which I will in the near future try to provide). Fourth (and finally), many readers will by now be yelling at me in their minds: "You fool! Pay attention to different levels of description!" What they are getting at is something like this: Of course rules such as those defining the Game of Life are inadequate to provide a complete explanation of the machine executing them. The rules describe the machine only at a high level of abstraction. But we can also provide descriptions of the same sort at progressively lower levels of abstraction, until finally we have described the fundamental particles constituting the machine. All these descriptions togetherhe machine, and also about the world. But this appeal to descriptive levels fails utterly to bridge the gap between mechanistic explanations and an adequate explication of the world's lawfulness. The problem is that the shortcomings of the mechanistic style of explanation follow you all the way down. If, when you finally arrive at the particles, you try to describe them as if they were little machines -- if, that is, you remain faithful to your mechanistic convictions -- then your rules, algorithms, mathematics, and logic explain no more about these particles than the Game of Life does about the concrete machine it is running on. But now you are at the supposedly fundamental level of understanding, so the limitations here a. If you want a true understanding of the world's order, the crucial gap you have to leap is not the gap between levels of description. Rather, it is the distance between unembodied mathematical, logical, and algorithmic formalisms on the one hand, and the full content of the world these formalisms are abstracted from on the other. Highlighting this gap will be one of my primary aims in forthcoming essays. Summarizing, then: ** Me ** The world is not in any case a machine. ** A mathematical regularity, or syntax, is implicit in the world's phenomena and can be said to explain the world no less and no more than the grammatical syntax of a speech explains the content of the speech. ** If, when appealing to a hierarchy of descriptive levels, we remain committed to mechanistic explanation, then the limitations of such y. Those of you acquainted with the philosophy of science will recognize in these statements implications of the most radical sort, even though so far I have done little more than offer brief justification for the first thesis of the four. In the end we will find ourselves confronting, among other things, an entirely new (or, rather, very old and forgotten) style of explanation based on form. We will also see the necessity for reversing the far-reaching decision within science to ignore qualities. This decision, if not reversed, must lead ultimately to the disappearance of the world, which is not there apart from its qualities -- and therefore it will lead also to the annihilation of the science that began with such promise as a resolve to r Related articles: ----------------- "Are Machines Living Things?" by Kevin Kelly and Steve Talbott in NF #133: "What Are the Right Questions?" by Kevin Kelly and Steve Talbott in NF #136: "Disconnect?" by Kevin Kelly and Steve Talbott in NF #139: Bibliography ------------ Barfield, Owen (1963).

Or will the features override whatever stigma there is?
".. the word iPad brings to mind feminine hygeine products..."
Like, because it's Apple? What?
Don't bite the apple, Adam!
more description in your questions please...I too am confused about the stigma. Like because it's just a big iPod touch?
I'd seen the MadTV sketch before, but I wasn't aware that there was a similar stigma about the product...
I had thought about it like that, but I wasn't going to buy it anyway. If I were planning on buying it, that certainly wouldn't stop me.
I never even made the connection until just now. If product name misinterpretation is such a big deal, why do so many people buy Hummers?
i dont care about stigma when i buy anything.
I guess I wasn't immature enough to get the joke immediately. No, I don't think any Apple product could have a problem selling because of something so trifling and insignificant. Men enjoy gadgets and will continue to buy them regardless.
I think in their case it helps..."Yeah, I'll take one...wait, what the hell do I need keys for?"
I have seen the comericals, and never once thought of it that way. And I know a guy who is buying one.

On behalf of the Class of 2016, I’d like to welcome all esteemed faculty, friends, and family to the 122nd graduation ceremony of Palo Alto High School. Well class, we started from the bottom, and now the whole team is here, ready to graduate high school. Today is the day to celebrate our journey and accomplishments as individuals and as a class. It seems like it was just yesterday that we experienced our freshman orientation, first football game, first spirit week, and even the first streak week. Through our four year journey together, we have grown both physically and mentally. Our class has undeniably been one of the most successful graduating classes to walk through Palo Alto High School. This year, our athletic department has had 11 college athlete recruits, and has won many notable titles. Our various student organizations and clubs have flourished, and proudly represented our school, winning countless awards over the last four years. However, our years at Palo Alto High School were no walk in the park. Each and every one of us has experienced our fair share of disappointments and obstacles that we’ve had to overcome. Through our years toge is resilient. We survived the streak week ban, mandatory tutorial check-ins, and no food in the library rules. But in all seriousness, our grade has risen above the obstacles, and has become one united class, win together, lose together, classmates. The fact that we stand here decorated with awards, accomplishments and knowledge is just a te Graduates, you have all grown to be powerful and intellectual individuals who are destined for greatness. Street poet and philosopher Drake once said, “Look at where I landed, You would think I planned it, I’m just doing me, You could never understand it,”but being a part of the class,life the best you can. After all, it is the journey that often teaches you about your destination. As we move forward from our days at Paly, I ask that you live life the way you want to, do what makes you proud, because “you only live once”. Graduates, strive to be the best version of yourself and remain fearless because you are viking. Right now, I’d like to take the time to give thanks to our amazing teachers, warm guidance department, my family, and most importantly, all of you in caps and gowns. In the words of one well-known hip-hop producer,“We da best.” Congratulations to the brave, the bold, and the beautiful class of 2016, let’s get it, let’s go.

Andrew Sullivan: (00:19) @Jordoazumi Okutani(ASO): (00:24) The Board going forward is going to quite likely insist upon clear rationale accompanying GAC advice, and furthermore is far more likely to engage collaboratively with the community impacted by GAC advice before taking any action. Under thesecircumstances, the specific threshold chosenoutcomes of the GAC advice in the future.
Brett Schaefer: (00:25) Becky, objection is not the only issue with exercising EC powers. There is also a threshold (in four instances, 4 supporting) which could require unanimity in the SOACs to exercise those powers abesnt the GA.
jorge cancio (GAC Switzerland): (00:27) dear all, I don't think a subgroup will bring us closer to agreement than what is being discussed in this call. why not close the issue today?
Greg Shatan [GNSO - IPC]: (00:29) I agree as well.
Mathieu Weill, ccNSO, co-chair: (00:37) Thanks Andrew !

Mark Carvell GAC - UK Govt: (00:41) Thanks - good way forward with target date.
Izumi Okutani(ASO): (00:43) I completely agree with Andrew and reasuraing to have clarity by the CCWG Co-Chairs that tihs will not affect the timelines. I wanted to suggest to at least test the waters among the participants about the options on the table, so we have more clarity about a way forward on Rec11 (not a poll or a vote). It's not very clear to me what are the directions we are seeing as possible agreable way forward.

View cart “Madagascar Whole Ammonite #14” has been added to your cart.
This natural specimen is still embedded in the rock matrix it was found in. There has been no polishing done to it. The Orthoceras itself measures approx. 1 7/8″ long.
These orthocone cephalopods are conspicuous in the fossil record for their occasional but persistent appearances in monospecific assemblages dense enough to form individual beds of limestone that often are regional key beds. Limestones that consist of monospecific assemblages of orthocone cephalopods are known as either cepBased on studies of size distributions of the orthocone shells, it had been argued that these assemblages likely represent post-mating mass deaths, as are common among modern cephalopods (though not modern nautiloids) and indeed among many semelparous species. More recent taphonomic and sedimentologic studies argue that such limestones are the result of the gradual accumulation of orthocone shells over an extended period of time in areas with very low rates of sedimentation and strong bottom currents. These assemblages, are known mostly from Ordovician rocks but do occur later as well, at least into the Devonian. Well-known examples occur in Morocco, Scandinavia, the Alps, and Iowa (USA)’.

The Germans already have a solid foothold in the world's largest auto market, but here's how it will get even bigger.
While the US market wasn't exactly holding its breath for a stretched BMW 5 Series (we're more fond of the impending reveal of the new M5 even though BMW still refuses to acknowledge its existence), the Blue and White Roundel used the 2017 Auto Shanghai to unveil its newest version of the 5 Series: the long-wheelbase 5 Series Li. Given how close the new 5 Series is to the 7 Series, the 5 Series Li, which gains 133 mm, will look a bit too similar to its larger sibling.
We spent some time at the BMW booth at Auto Shanghai and managed to snag these images of the 5 Series Li in the metal. Thanks to the fact that it's only 29 mm shorter than a 7 Series, the stretched 5 Series has a presence that we're sure the Chinese market will enjoy. Looks aside, it's really the extra legroom that the 5 Series Li's Chinese buyers will enjoy alongside the discount over the more tech-laden 7 Series. BMW's cluster architecture technology, what the company calls layering various space age materials in the chassis to optimize rigidity and save weight, will ensure the large sedan remains light, allowing for the two 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines or the 3.0-liter inline-six to be more than adequate.

England and crowned on September 29th by Archbishop Stigand in Westminster. The day before the coronation, Duke William of Normandy landed at Pevensey in Sussex, and began the building of a motte and bailey castle. He waited for what he presumed would be an aggressive move by King Harold, but learned of his death and the coronation of Leofwine on 4th October, and immediately broke camp, abandoned the half finished castle, and marched on London.
The armies of William and Leofwine clashed on October 10th at the Battle of Greenwich, south of London. After a day of fighting, the Norman cavalry turned the Saxon right flank and the battle becomes a mass rout. Leofwine escaped the disaster and fled north. William then entered London and proclaimed himself the rightful heir to Edward The Confessor’s throne. On October 25th Archbishop Stigand again performed a coronation, this time for King William I of England.
In November and December King William and King Harald both consolidate their new kingdoms. The border between them cut through the Earldom of Mercia as the Danelaw did, but this new border ran from The Wash to the mouth of the Severn. Early in December William brutally put down a rebellion in Devon, laying waste to the West Country. Villages were wiped off the map, their occupants slaughtered and houses burnt. This would later be known as “The Harrying of the South”.
In stark contrast, life in Harald’s Kingdom of York was relatively peaceful. Earl Tostig guarded the northern border to repel attacks from Edwin and Morcar from Scotland, and Earl Eystein guarded the southern border where there were frequent small skirmishes with Norman forces. Refugees flocked from the south to the north, commoners and noblemen alike, as William installed Norman gentry to keep the peace in his kingdom.
Eystein arrived in York three days later. He had sent riders ahead to warn his king of the coming enemy, and King Harald was able to draw as many soldiers to York as possible. William’s pursuit had been slowed by supply problems, and he didn’t reach York until March 21st where he found Harald’s army arrayed for battle to the south of the city on land near the Fulford battlefield, but higher and dryer.
At the time of the invasion by William the Bastard England was not one nation but an amalgamation of individual nations united by a common king, a bit like the home nations are to the UK now. The Earldom of York, formerly the Kngdom of Jorvik, was one of those nations and was unique amongst them in that, whereas the rest were ethnically and culturally of Anglo-Saxon heritage, the Earldom of York was ethnically and culturally of Danish heritage and had its own tongue and traditions. That heritage has never been eliminated. There are so many Yorkshire surnames, placenames, words and expressions that have Danish origins that make that clear and even today’s Yorkshire dialect has evolved from English influence on Old Danish language. ‘Yorkshire’ is unique in culture, heritage and identity and those born there identify themselves as ‘Yorkshire people’ whether they still live there or not. If Wales and Scotland qualify as ‘nations’ on those bases, Yorkshire too must qualify as a nation on those bases and therefore Yorkshire, the remnant of the Earldom of York and Kingdom of Jorvik, must still be a ‘nation’ to this day! I believe that Yorkshire satisfies every criteria that Wales or Scotland satisifies to have the power to determine her own destiny and that the people of Yorkshire have every right to at least an opportunity to have their say in a referendum for a devolved Yorkshire Parliament. If acheiving a Devolved Yorkshire Parliament is what Richard Carter means by, “But Yorkshire will rise again!”, I sincerely hope he is right. The UK Parliament has first carved our magnificent county into pieces and distributed many of her parts such as Middlesbrough, Sedbergh, Startforth and Saddleworth to alien local authorities or government regions and then, after taking all it can from us since the industrial revolution began in the Calder Valley, continued to deprive us of reinvestment whilst ploughing seemingly all into London and the South-East, or since devolution, Wales, Scotland and N. Ireland as well. An English Parliament would do no better for Yorkshire. Let Yorkshire take care of herself like those who already have devolved parliaments/assemblies have successfully taken care of themselves. Let Yorkshire prosper under her own devolved parliament but most of all, never allow your identity as Yorkshire folk to diminish, no matter how little respect others may have for that!
Can only but agree Nigel! </s> Why Yorkshire should watch closely as Scotland decides – YDM blogger’s piece in the Yorkshire Post
George McManus, a sometime contributor to this blog, had an opinion piece in yesterday’s Yorkshire Post. Well done, George!:
George McManus:
People have been asking this question: “Why should an ageing rock ‘n’.
For centuries, and long before the 1707 Act of Union which brought the UK into being, trade, economic and cultural links were commonplace between the likes of Hull and Aberdeen, York and Edinburgh.
It’s no coincidence that the decision-makers in Westminster only woke up to the problems of flooding when the South was affected. Why, when 1,000 homes on the Humber were damaged by the storm surge in December, didn’

Can I Mail Someone Marijuana in California?
Presumably, based on the explanation given, even with it now being 2018 whereas recreational marijuana is legal on the state level in California, since matters of federal law supersedes state law, this article remains accurate, is this correct?
Eaze.com is doing it in California. Yet I’m just outside their delivery zone.
What about one joint from California to the UK?

Here are seven of the plugins I don’t forget important for any WordPress internet site I setup. These can help your WordPress site be extra comfortable, more seek engine pleasant, simpler to address, and greater attractive to your visitors.
To locate those plugins, log in on your WordPress administrative location, click on “Plugins” on the left menu, then click on “Add New.” You’ll see a page with a search container you can kind the plugin call into, after which set up the plugin.
Akismet: Blog junk mail is out of management and can be overwhelming when you have to delete it all yourself. Let Akismet address it for you rather.
All in One search engine marketing Pack: This is a remarkable plugin to make WordPress extra seek engine friendly. It gives you greater control over numerous factors to your pages.
TinyMCE Advanced: The default editor in WordPress has an incredibly stressful habit of doing away with line breaks and areas. It also does not allow a clean manner to exchange the font. This plugin fixes those troubles.
WP Security Scan: Make your WordPress web page extra comfy with this plugin. It scans for commonplace vulnerabilities and things you could alternate to keep your web page more secure from hackers.
Subscribe to Comments: Encourage your traffic who remarks to return and stay engaged in the discussion by giving them an option to acquire an electronic mail while a new remark is posted after theirs.
Similar Posts: Help your readers locate more records they are interested in, so they will stick around longer with this plugin. It will upload a listing of similar posts at the quit of each of your blog posts. You can see the way it works underneath (it’s going to list five posts associated with this one in case you want to study more of what I actually have to say approximately WordPress or plugins).
Social Bookmarking Plugin: There are lots to choose from; simply make sure you have one! You can use Sociable, Sexy Bookmarks, Share This, or others. Make it smooth for your traffic to share your posts with their networks online.
Everyone using a blog desires to ensure that it’s far comfy and can not be accessed using unauthorized personnel.
Therefore securing a weblog is essential. Since most bloggers use WordPress these days, I will communicate approximately some steps to make it safer. These steps come in the form of plugins that need to be mounted.
In my view, I advise three plugins that each WordPress bloggers ought to use on his weblog.
The first plugin is called Login Lockdown. This neat plugin stops malicious users from guessing the password for a certain account. After a positive wide variety of failed attempts to log in, the hacker will automatically be banned for a sure time period.
Another vital plugin is HTTPS for WordPress. By the usage of this plugin, you need to log into your WordPress Dashboard using HTTPS. What is clearly properly about that?
When logging in most effective HTTP usage, your non-public credentials are dispatched in plain textual content through the networks. On the alternative hand, in case you use HTTPS, then your credentials are encrypted, which, of course, is a whole lot greater safe.
Also, to harden WordPress, you have to install WP-Scanner from Blog security. The plugin sincerely scans all listings to see if there aren’t any viable leaks. It similarly advises you approximately security issues; as an instance, it tells you whether you’re using the default WordPress table prefix and helps you to trade it routinely.
In the give up, I hope that this gave you an outline of what you can do to make your weblog greater relaxed. There are even extra plugins available, but most of them aren’t that exclusive in how they make your weblog more secure.
