DOI: http://doi.org/10.3828/mlo.v0i0.184 ‘Ihr Vater ist Jude, Ihre Mutter Katholikin. Sie begreifen sich nicht als Jüdin, aber auch nicht als Nicht-Jüdin.’ Menasse explains: ‘Ich habe mich mein ganzes Leben lang mit dieser Frage herumgeschlagen. Und ich habe gelernt, dass ich mich für keine der beiden Seiten entscheiden kann, sondern dass ich eben die Mischung bin. Und das gefällt mir auch, weil ich mir von beidem das Bessere nehmen kann – immer das, was ich davon verstehe.’1 I. Family Identity, Memory and Hybridity This essay examines family identity, memory and hybridity in Eva Menasse’s novels Vienna (2005) and Quasikristalle (2013). The question of identity – an individual’s age, ethnic background, gender, nationality, qualities, beliefs and values – presents as the key issue in all Menasse’s literary works, including the short stories in Lässliche Todsünden (2009) and, most recently, the essay collection Lieber aufgeregt als abgeklärt (2016). Another recurring theme is the memory of the Shoah, and its effects on families and relationships between Jews and non-Jews, which always seems to linger in the background. Thirdly, the author often focuses on differences between Austrians and Germans, as well as the way that each treats their Jewish minorities. Finally, hybridity, that is, the existence between two or more poles, as well as shedding light on a character’s story and a character’s circumstances through other characters’ perspectives, is central to Menasse’s approach to writing. Thus, the author examines the hybrid nature of (1) (Jewish) family identity; (2) Jewishness in general; (3) after-effects of Nazi policies on post-war (family) life in Austria – the ‘Alltagsfaschismus’ – and Germany; (4) differences between Germany and Austria and encounters between Austrians and Germans; and (5) gender – in other words, the way female family members are often overlooked in family narratives, as well as conditions of woman/motherhood in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Eva Menasse’s texts deal with people: where they come from, where they are going, their families, their friends, their love lives, friendships, successes and losses, joys and tragedies, strengths and weaknesses, fears, pains and sins. These topics are woven together by using the search for identity within and outside of the family as an encompassing frame. This essay examines Menasse’s first two novels in the context of the family identity theory discussed below. A great deal of scholarship suggests that narrative language contributes to the construction and display of our sense of who we are, our identity. By narrating one’s experiences, one arrives at an understanding of the self as a whole. Some scholarship argues that we eventually become the autobiographical narratives by which we narrate our lives.2 Narrative language reveals our presuppositions (implicit meanings), permits multiple perspectives (different prisms through which we can view the world), and allows subjectification (reality can be filtered through the consciousness of protagonists in the story).3 Deborah Schiffrin argues that ‘stories are resources not just for the development and presentation of self as a psychological entity, but as someone located within a social and cultural world’.4 The form of our stories (their textual structure), the content of our stories (what we tell about) and our story-telling behaviour (how we tell stories) are all sensitive signs not just of our personal selves but also of our social and cultural identities.5 When our socio-cultural expectations change, Schiffrin observes, ‘so too do our perceptions of identities’.6 According to Schiffrin, the family provides our first set of social relationships. Here we learn to relate our experiences to other family members as we listen to their stories. Narrative performance theory, as developed by Langellier and Peterson, suggests that not only do families tell stories but story-telling is one way of doing family.7 In Langellier and Peterson’s view, the way that families perform stories can be ‘telling’ because it reveals how families operate. Narrative performance theorists analyse how family narratives preserve ethnic, relational and social history of the family and its members. These studies show that family identity evolves, as family members adapt and construct their stories of the family, as well as individual members of the group. Furthermore, this theory suggests that family identity is not only an internal relational process but also one that develops externally when family members construct their identity within the context of cultural conditions. In other words, families define themselves not only by expectations of the family as a personal and private entity but also according to the expectations of the culture in which they exist.8 Dena Huisman, in her examination of public performance of private family identity through family story-telling identifies five themes of cultural identity in family stories, which seem useful for our analysis of Menasse’s work. The first theme focuses on a family’s ability to overcome obstacles and challenges. Huisman finds that families tend to negotiate telling stories about imperfections in the family group while presenting themselves in a positive light to themselves and to a broader public audience. She finds that families use laughter and humour to minimize the risks of being seen in a negative way. In Huisman’s second theme, the family is defined as a private island. Thus, families describe themselves as ‘close-knit groups of people who engage in family-exclusive rituals, enjoy playful interactions and teasing as a group, and value extended, as well as nuclear family connections’.9 The third theme focuses on stories about how ancestors built family identity and affected the family group for the better. Family members idealize family members, particularly male relatives, while female ancestors are rarely mentioned. Here, the importance of gender in maintaining family group identity emerges. While women are expected to be care givers and to provide support for the family, men are honoured for doing the same. The fourth theme – ‘families follow Culture’s Rules (or don’t)’ – highlights how world events, religion, race and ethnicity impact family identification. The fifth and last theme describes families working together in a formal business setting, through a family business or business partnership.10 Menasse’s texts and her statements in the interview conducted for this project reveal the author’s ongoing search for her family’s as well as her own identity: the impact of historical events on her family’s life, her career choice, her decision to leave Vienna to live and work in Berlin, her role as a writer and her self-understanding and experiences as a woman in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Born into an Austrian family of Jewish/Catholic descent in 1970, Eva Menasse was a teenager when Kurt Waldheim became president and not only he but the whole country of Austria was put on an international watch list. Following outside pressure, Austrians, who for almost half a century had rather conveniently described themselves as Hitler’s first victim, were suddenly forced to face their country’s and their families’ role and participation in Hitler’s crimes against humanity. Menasse’s first novel, Vienna, thematizes the effects of this national earthquake on the Austrian mind, and on the dynamics within her own family. Marja-Leena Hakkarainen argues that historical events often bear more significance in Jewish family novels: ‘In Vienna wird der Zusammenhalt der multi-ethnischen Familie durch historische Ereignisse und Debatten bedroht, wie etwa durch den arabisch-israelischen Sechstagekrieg, den Historikerstreit und die Anti-Waldheim-Kampagne.’11 During the 1990s and early 2000s, Menasse studied history and German literature and had a successful career as a journalist, writing for the Austrian news magazine Profil and the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) in Frankfurt, as well as a correspondent from Prague and Berlin. For the FAZ, Menasse reported on the trial against Holocaust denier David Irving. Menasse quit the paper to write Vienna, which was published in 2005. Two years before its publication, she also left the city of Vienna and has since lived and worked in Berlin as a freelance author. Sharp observations about Austria and explanations of the country’s peculiarities are things that Menasse does as brilliantly as her half-brother Robert Menasse (born 1954).12 The latter is often mentioned as part of a group of writers who were born within 10–15 years after the end of the war.13 Despite a considerable age gap, authors such as Doron Rabinovici (born 1961), Vladimir Vertlib (born 1966) and Eva Menasse (born 1970) are sometimes considered part of this group as well. This is in part due to their Jewish background but also because they – like their older colleagues – expose and criticize Austrians’ failed attempts to properly deal with the Nazi past. Rabinovoci, Vertlib and Eva Menasse are commonly referred to as the third generation of post-war writers.14 Sometimes, their responses can be heated;15 more often, however, they take a less aggressive, softer stance than their older colleagues. This is especially true when it comes to narrating their own families’ stories. Todd and Hillary Herzog’s essay on Doron Rabinovici’s text ‘Nach Wilna’ in this collection underlines this argument rather well. In our interview, Eva Menasse states: ‘Ich glaube, das zeichnet die dritte Phase und die dritte Generation, d.h. ihren Umgang mit der Geschichte des Nationalsozialismus aus: Man stellt vorsichtig Fragen, man geht sanfter an die Sache heran.’ When asked what her family had to do with her decision to become a writer, Eva Menasse states: Das hat vielleicht damit zu tun, dass in meiner Familie Sprache immer besonders wichtig war. Mein Vater und mein Onkel waren bzw. sind sehr talentierte Redner. Bei uns wurde eine eigene Sprache gesprochen, ein eigener Jargon. Diese Sprache ist gekennzeichnet von einem ganz feinen Sprachwitz, mit dem ich großgeworden bin, und der mich geprägt hat.16 Eva Menasse’s genealogical research started in her twenties. She felt compelled to find out more about her father’s and uncle’s childhood and youth. She only knew that they had grown up in England. As children, Menasse and her siblings were ‘spared’ the dramatic background of their father’s and uncle’s exile. As a young adult, Menasse undertook journalistic interviews with them. Many times, she recorded their surprisingly short responses, a few memories here, small scenes there. They did not, or, as Menasse later realized, could not tell her what seemed particularly interesting to her. They were unable to tell her what she wanted to know because the events of their Nazi childhood and youth had traumatized and silenced them. Faced with these gaps in her father’s and uncle’s stories, Menasse started to read books about mixed marriages, the Kindertransport, about the life of Jewish child exiles in England. This research went on for years without a clear understanding or intention that its outcome would ever turn into a fictional work. The only motive for Menasse was to learn more about her family history, particularly the part of it that had not been shared by living family members. She wanted to imagine what their lives had been like: Ich saß also auf diesem Berg von historischem Material plus einigen persönlichen Interviews, und je weiter ich gekommen bin, um so weiter bin ich von meiner wirklichen Familiengeschichte weggegangen, ins Allgemeine hinein. Bis mir klar wurde, ich werde keine Familienchronik aus diesem Material schreiben. Aber der Stoff war da, groß und verführerisch, und da wusste ich dann an irgendeinem Punkt, daraus machst du jetzt einen Roman.17 II. Vienna The result of her research, Eva Menasse’s first novel, Vienna (2005), is the story of an Austrian family of Jewish/Catholic descent. According to Julia Freytag, Menasse’s (family) novel does not only focus on the family’s history but also on the difficult position of the grandchildren’s generation: ‘Wie können die Enkel von dem erzählen, was ihnen nicht erzählt wurde und was sie nicht wissen, was verschwiegen, ausgespart und verdeckt geblieben ist?’18 In addition, it poses the questions: How do we experience our family? How does this experience differ from that of other family members? How do we position ourselves within our family and its story? How do family members perform family stories and how does the family perform within the culture where it is placed? What is our family’s identity and how is our own identity shaped by it? When the female narrator in Vienna confronts her uncle with the halachic definition of Jewish religious affiliation, she finds that whether and according to whom or whose laws he is Jewish seems oblivious to the uncle’s understanding of his identity. What matters is that according to Hitler, he was a Jew. As a teenager, he therefore had to leave Nazi Vienna on the Kindertransport to England, where he spent several years in exile. As a young adult, he fought in Burma on the British side. After the war and accompanied by his Burmese wife, he returned to Vienna, perceived by his family of origin as a cold English gentleman. The uncle’s idea of his identity is solely based on his individuality. He refuses to understand himself as part of a group. Rather, as Armin Weber has pointed out, the uncle’s identity is based on his life experiences, how he coped with them, and to what extent he was in charge of what happened to him.19 The other main protagonist in Vienna, the narrator’s father, responds to his childhood trauma with the answer: ‘Very well, thank you.’ He insists on a positive outlook on life, which earns him the name ‘uncle Sunny’.20 The grandparents’ and great-grandparents’ fate during the war, the uncle’s and the narrator’s father’s ability to overcome the obstacles and challenges of a difficult childhood and their ways of dealing with their childhood experiences of persecution and exile impact the family identity. In Vienna, finding one’s place within the family story becomes a defining mandate for the act of keeping memories alive. This applies both to the novel’s narrator, as well as to Eva Menasse herself. By imagining what could have been her ancestors’ lives, by interpreting what her living relatives were not openly or explicitly telling her, by filling in the gaps with historical information, Eva Menasse did what the title of our collection proposes: She read between the blood lines. Vienna’s protagonists are seen through the eyes of a nameless female narrator. The novel is built around an endless number of anecdotes, funny stories against a sad, dark and tragic family background, stories about family members who were separated from their parents as children (the narrator’s father and uncle), died in exile (the narrator’s aunt), were subjected to antisemitism and forced labour (the narrator’s grandfather) or died in concentration camps (the narrator’s great-grandmother). The entertaining light-heartedness of the anecdotes, which is infused by the famous ‘Wiener Schmäh’, serves as a contrast to their content – that is, the tragic and repressed events of war, exile and death. These stories are the glitter glue that holds the family together over decades, over generations. Moreover, they help to shed a positive light on the family, especially its male ancestors, who are praised for their strength and perseverance during difficult times. According to Langellier and Peterson, ‘good stories produce good families’.21 The story-telling at family events keeps dead family members alive and awards them the aura of long gone film stars. They thus constitute what Mona Körte has referred to as ‘Totenpflege’.22 Family members often argue about the accuracy of an anecdote and about how it should be told. They even dress up and act out, and thus perform stories of the past. Whereas the narrator’s uncle and father, who were sent away as Viennese Jewish children, reject the notion of Jewishness as part of their identity, other characters, especially the narrator’s brother, wrestle with the fact that they are considered partly Jewish (‘Halb- und Vierteljuden’). The narrator’s brother joins a self-help group (Mischlinge 2000) for members of the third post-Shoah generation, who are searching for a Jewish identity outside of religion. As Hakkarinen points out, ‘Mischlinge’ refers to children with a mixed parentage and thus to an ‘unhappy, rootless existence between the cultures’ but also responds to what recent scholarship has termed cultural hybridity: ‘It is noteworthy that the term implicates an ongoing process, which opens new avenues but may also be painful for the subject. […] The painful negotiations of the half-Jews and quarter-Jews in Vienna ironically dispute the post-ethnic ideology, which claims that identities are based on free-individual choice.’23 Vienna, as the English title of Menasse’s novel evokes, is of course a diverse city. This diversity is mirrored in the narrator’s diverse and difficult family. The grandmother was a German from Sudetenland, the grandfather a Polish Jew. The narrator’s father and uncle emigrate to England, their sister Katzi dies in exile in Canada. Upon their return from England, the father marries a Polish Catholic, while his brother chooses an English Jewish wife. For the longest time, the humorous anecdotes bring Jews, Catholics, Protestants and their English, Polish and Austrian wives together. Finding one’s place in this family seems at times as challenging as it has been for Jews to assimilate in the multi-ethnic city of Vienna. The arguments around the question of who is and who is not Jewish enough strike a discriminatory, hostile tone within the family, but they are also present when individual family members try to find their place as Jews in post-war Austrian culture. The heated discussions about what constitutes Jewishness finally escalate into a family war among the cousins and result in the dissolution of the extended family. At the end of the novel, the narrator, the scribe of the family story, realizes that with the passing of the grandparent generation and because family members have moved away and therefore no longer share a permanent physical presence, the family stories will die and that without them the family will become unglued. What had brought them closer for decades now creates an ever-growing distance between them. In the end, even the famous ‘Wiener Schmäh’ cannot stop the territorial argument over who is entitled to claim Jewishness as part of their identity. Consequently, each family is diminished to its own nuclear state, its own private island. For the uncle’s niece and her generation, the so-called third generation, the Jewish question, though no longer a matter of life or death, becomes the most important aspect of their identity. Being Jewish represents the link to Jewish family members of previous generations, who live on in family anecdotes that are told and retold at family events. Not being Jewish means being disconnected and excluded from the family story. Therefore, the narrator and her half-brother feel lost, angry and disoriented when their cousins (who have a Jewish mother and therefore consider themselves 100 per cent Jewish according to Halachic law) classify them as not Jewish enough. The narrator is accused (by both her brother and her cousins) of confusing individual identity with factual belonging. Ich schrie mit der Kraft der Verzweiflung heraus, was mir als unwiderlegbar erschien: Die Verschickung der beiden Kinder und ihre Rückkehr zu fremden, gebrochenen Eltern, die Hundemarke des Großvaters, die Überschwangsarbeit, die nach Theresienstadt abgereiste Großmutter, genüge das nicht, um für diese Kleinfamilie im Jahre 1947, da war mein Vater zurückgekehrt, eine klare Identität als Juden als Verfolgte zu konstituieren?24 The importance of work and family identity is a recurrent topic throughout Vienna. The grandfather’s Jewish parents came from Poland to the ‘Mazzesinsel’, the Viennese district of Leopoldstadt. The grandfather worked as a travelling salesman, specializing in wines and spirits. Due to his successful business, the family soon moved to a much fancier part of the city, Döbling. Shortly before the Anschluss, the narrator’s grandparents are forced to leave their house to move back to the Jewish area. During the war, the grandfather is sent to carry out forced labour while all his children are sent away to survive in exile. Upon his return from England, the narrator’s father becomes a soccer star and a national hero. After he retires from soccer, he opens a business and deals with sports teams from Eastern European socialist states, but he prefers to spend time on the soccer field, on the tennis court and in restaurants. His brother, the narrator’s uncle, works in a bank until he starts dealing with some shady business men. He becomes rich but quickly loses his fortune. His wife removes stickers from Israeli oranges before selling them to socialist countries and ships Czech bicycles to Haifa. Family members do not work well together and work is generally not talked about as a positive experience or opportunity for the younger generation to learn about a good work ethic. Instead, opportunities to be successful seem warped by the anti-Semitic tendencies present in Austria during but also after the war. While the ‘Opferlüge’, the every-day anti-Semitism and the lingering effects of Austrofaschismus on family life in post-war Austria, as well as the question of Jewishness, are key to Vienna, the differences between Austrians and Germans, as well as questions relating to the female experience become more central in Menasse’s second novel, Quasikristalle. As an acute observer of the German-speaking world around her, Menasse continues where Franz Xaver Krötz left off with Die Piekfe-Saga. I would argue that there is currently no other writer in the German-speaking world who matches Eva Menasse’s sharp observation and wit in capturing the differences between Austrians and Germans. She is at her funniest in her descriptions of her life as an Austrian in Germany. She finds herself and places her protagonists between Viennese Angstlust25 and German Angst.26 Although the narrator of Vienna is a female voice, and female characters such as Tante Gustl, the grandmother, Tante Ka and the kleine Engländerin play essential roles in the novel, the male protagonists, such as the father, the brother, the uncle and the male cousins, are the main story-tellers at family events. As listeners and commentators, the female family members generally remain in the background. Dichotomies and questions of hybridity and identity abound in Menasse’s descriptions of differences between men and women, in both the private and public spheres. Thus, the author’s development as a writer can also be observed by the way she sharpens her view of past and contemporary female life in the German-speaking world of her childhood, youth, adulthood and motherhood. Menasse explains that her text functions as a commentary of how she sees the world, and a woman’s place in it: Wie ich es sehe, stehen die Frauen, wenn bei irgendwelchen Zusammenkünften diskutiert wird, immer noch im Schatten ihrer Männer. Die Männer reden in der Öffentlichkeit, die Frauen tun es zuhause. Es gibt nur wenige Frauen, die auch nach außen ihren Mann stehen, und ich kann nur sagen, dass in meiner Kindheit in den siebziger Jahren die Rollenverteilung eindeutig so war, dass die Männer die Witze gemacht haben und die Frauen zuhause gekeppelt haben. Die Männer hatten die Möglichkeit, mit einer gewissen Leichtigkeit auf die Welt zuzugehen, spielerisch mit ihr umzugehen, während an den Frauen der Kampf ums Überleben hängen blieb.27 Finding her own place within the family also meant creating an identity for the rest of the family. Nowadays, as the author revealed in our interview, when the Menasses do not remember a particular anecdote, one of them will suggest: ‘Geh, schau’ im ‘Buch von der Eva nach.’ III. Quasikristalle Nein, Berlin ist mir […] nicht unheimlich, weil es keine Verbindung mit meiner Familiengeschichte gibt – also auch keine bösen und unangenehmen Geheimnisse. Die Verbindung ist einzig und allein historisch, weil die antijüdischen Gesetze hier erdacht und gemacht worden sind. Aber davon abgesehen hat mein Umzug nach Berlin damals, vor über 15 Jahren, erst einmal Freiheit bedeutet. Leere. Eine Projektionsfläche, auf die ich schreiben konnte, was ich wollte. Mir mein eigenes Berlin erschaffen. Das hat mir ermöglicht, meine eigene Familie zu gründen, halbwegs unbeeinflusst von dem Erbe und dem, was für mich daran auch erstickend ist.28 Quasikristalle (2013) accompanies female protagonist Xane Molin from her teenage and student years in Austria to her move from Vienna to Berlin, where she runs a successful PR company, marries a German academic, suffers through infertility treatments, becomes a step-mother and a mother until her return to Vienna as an old woman. As an Austrian living in Germany, Xane delights and annoys her German and Austrian friends with quizzical observations about their respective nationally and culturally determined idiosyncrasies. Menasse borrowed the title for her second novel from the world of chemistry. Readers are as surprised by the turns Xane’s life takes, as chemist Dan Shectman must have been, on 8 April 1982, while performing an electron diffraction experiment on an alloy of aluminium and manganese. By orienting the alloy in different directions, Shectman discovered a monster in the world of crystallography, a structure that appeared to contain five-fold symmetry axes, which cannot exist in strictly periodic structures. In 2011, Shectman won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for discovering such quasi-periodic structures, which became known as quasicrystals.29 In her adaptation and interpretation of Shechtman’s findings, Menasse seemingly hands her readers a kaleidoscope. Looking through it, we see bits of glass (Xane’s life). Her story is told by different characters, in continually changing symmetrical forms, reflected in two or more mirrors, set at angles to each other. In an interview with Gerald Sommer, Menasse explains her approach: ‘Ich habe hier eine Biographie, die zerschneide ich in möglichst disparate Schnipsel, und das auch noch über einen Zeitrahmen. […] Wie eine Kamerafahrt um einen Menschen herum, und ich zeige ihn in ganz verschiedenen Situation.’30 Each situation constitutes a chapter, which is told from the perspective of a person who has crossed Xane’s life: Judith, a girlfriend from the early teenage years; Bernays, an academic and organizer of Auschwitz tours; Ludwig Tschoch, Xane’s Catholic, ultra-conservative and voyeuristic landlord; Judith’s little sister Sally, a single mother, who meets Xane in Berlin; Dr Heike Guttmann, Xane’s infertility specialist; potential love interest Nelson, survivor of a civil war turned ambassador against war crimes; Xane’s step-daughter, Viola; Martin Kummer, Xane’s German employee; Xane’s aging father in Vienna; Krystyna, one of Xane’s oldest friends in Vienna; Shanti, a researcher whose work focuses on abuse in senior residences; and finally Amos, Xane’s son, whose letters to his mother upon her decision to move back to Vienna conclude the book. Quasikristalle ends with Xane’s return to her hometown of Vienna as an old woman. At the end of our interview, Menasse speculated that by sending Xane back to Austria, she was trying to convince herself that Vienna might not be so bad after all. Xane’s own voice, the thirteenth perspective, only features in the seventh chapter – in other words, the one in the middle of the book, when Xane has reached mid-life and is going through a crisis. As a text that incorporates the family topos and performs family, Quasikristalle offers a survey of different family models, a sort of status report of family life in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. We encounter the orthodox family set up – father, mother, child(ren) – but also a patchwork family, burdened by divorce and custody battles, single mothers, a violent father, a father who lost his wife and children through war crimes, divorced and widowed women who cannot find a partner, while an entire chapter (chapter 5) is dedicated to the topic of family planning. Here, Xane’s experience with infertility is told from the perspective of a fertility specialist. Regarding the family narrative themes as defined by Huisman, Quasikristalle portrays families who are often unable to overcome obstacles and challenges. Right from the start, in chapter 1, Xane’s best friend Judith has a troubled family life. In the same chapter, a single mother has to deal with her young daughter’s death. Much later in the book, Xane’s own teenage step-daughter Viola rebels against Xane’s rules and is highly critical of her step-mother. She even tells on Xane when she sees her step-mother embrace another man, and thus causes a rift between her parents. Viola’s chapter also contains a part that describes her meeting with her birth mother, who had abandoned her children to find herself in India. Families are shown as private islands who try to keep others out: Xane’s childhood friend Judith attempts to hide her father’s violent behaviour and her mother’s insanity, as well as their decrepit housing situation; her sister, who encounters the adult Xane in Berlin, hides the fact that she has a child and is broke; Xane leaves her nuclear family and moves to Berlin where she becomes a step-mother and struggles with becoming a mother herself. Xane’s father, but not her mother, provides one of the many voices that describe Xane. Again, the male ancestor is given more importance in sharing insights into Xane’s character and her life story. World events, religion and ethnicity are mentioned in the novel as well. The Jewish identity question, however, takes a back seat, with the exception of the second and third chapters. Xane is half-Jewish, and is said to have a prominent Jewish godfather. A whole chapter (chapter 2) is dedicated to her participation as a young student in an excursion to Auschwitz. The guide, Bernays, who is a half-Jew himself, feels attracted to Xane, whom he describes as ‘ein klassischer Fall halbjüdischer Doppelhelix, ein schwer auflösbares Geflecht aus Angst, Schmerz über unklare Zugehörigkeit, ironischer Distanzierung und Selbstüberschätzung’.31 Bernays finds the Austrian retirees, who finally venture out to see Auschwitz, the reason why their fathers and grandfathers had to undergo denazification, particularly unbearable. He reminds them not to pick up teeth or bones as souvenirs. Xane provokes the entire group by portraying the concentration camp as a charitable institution: ‘Herr Professor, rief sie, meine Kollegen und ich haben hier etwas entdeckt, das die Forschung revolutionieren wird. Ein Swimmingpool! Das ist der letzte fehlende Beweis, wie gut es den Juden hier ging. Ansprechende Umgebung, beste Verpflegung, sportliche Ertüchtigung.’32 The Austrian ‘Alltagsfaschismus’ also features in Chapter 3, which is told from the perspective of Xane’s Viennese landlord, Catholic animal-lover Diplomingenieur Ludwig Tschoch. Xane gains his trust and access to his personal space, films him as he feeds his angry ferret Adolf, and photographs his crucifix, only to later create a critical film, a ‘Film ohne Worte. Österreichische Impressionen’ about him and his family’s questionable by-standing in the deportation of a former Jewish tenant, which is aired on Austrian public TV. Again, as during the Auschwitz excursion, Xane provocatively points out how Austrian fascism has survived since the Second World War into the present and manifests itself in contemporary Austrian society. Age, gender and nationality dominate the rest of the book as elements that define Xane’s identity. The seventh chapter provides a look at Xane’s inner life, giving an emotional perspective. It is the only chapter told from the viewpoint of a first-person narrator. Here, Xane fills the gaps left by other chapters, takes stock and provides a status report of her own life: her marriage, her friendships (her friends are referred to as the ‘eigentliche Familie’),33 her experience as a wife and (step-)mother in particular, and her insights into the female existence in general. ‘Ich lebe so, wie ich es immer wollte’, she reflects at the beginning of the chapter. Her thoughts about her marriage, about being faithful to her husband Mor are intersected by her get-together with her old friend Krystyna, who is about to cheat on her husband. While observing her giddy, feverish friend and pondering what leads couples to cheat on their spouses, Xane recalls some shaky moments in her own marriage – such as her postnatal depression, which led her to empathize with women who kill their babies. She remembers the lack of lightness, the unpleasantness of postpartum marital sex, and her own and her husband’s occasional temptations to stray from the path of fidelity. She ponders her relationship with her older step-daughter, who causes marital strife. Inspired by and slightly envious of her friend’s amorous adventure, a large part of the chapter is comprised of Xane’s pessimistic musings about women in contemporary society. Unlike the narrator in Vienna, who is obsessed with finding out about her family’s past, Xane is not interested in idealizing the past. In fact, more than two thirds of Quasikristalle’s plot are situated in the present and the future. Xane realizes that previous generations of women – such as the women in Vienna – were bound to marry the wrong man (the very first) and that ‘iron convention’ saw to it that they remained married. Nowadays, Xane observes, women have and make choices. They separate from their partners, but as a result, they might not have one for when they reach old age. For a long time, Xane’s Austrian friends, ‘die eigentliche Familie’, remain loyal after her departure, but Xane repeatedly tests her friends’ patience. When she experiences a personal crisis and contacts her Austrian friends to ask for shelter, she is disappointed to find that they refuse to give it to her. Xane’s best friend Krystyna seems envious of Xane, who left Vienna as a young woman (Krystyna’s own dream) and became the ‘UNO-Sonderbotschafterin für Deutschland’. Krystyna remembers having felt surprised and almost hurt when Xane hurriedly left Vienna: [Sie] verkündete, in Wirklichkeit seit Jahren aus Österreich weggewollt zu haben. ‘Sie brach alle Zelte ab und zog nach Berlin.’34 Krystyna recognizes that Xane, who never fails to tell her Austrian friends that Germans are much better Democrats, that German newspapers are more sophisticated, German politicians less embarrassing and German soccer incomparably good, does the same to Germans: ‘Allerdings belehrte sie auch die Deutschen. Die Botschaft war jedes Mal: Wo Xane war, war es am besten.’35 Thus, Xane’s hybrid existence as an Austrian in Germany is illuminated by both Germans and Austrians at different times and by different characters throughout the book. Menasse’s ‘Kopfgeburt’ Xane feels confident as an Austrian when she settles in Berlin. As Menasse writes elsewhere, ‘Nirgendwo kann man so von Herzen Österreicher sein wie in Deuschland.’36 Martin Kummer, one of the German employees in Xane’s PR agency, wakes up after an event, and blames his hangover on his Austrians co-workers: ‘Es liegt an den Österreichern. […] Die sind allesamt Alkoholiker. Nirgends trinkt man so viel wie bei denen. Und drauf sind sie auch noch stolz.’37 At work, Martin often feels at odds with the Austrian work ethics. ‘Dass diese Österreicher andere, gröbere Sitten hatten, hatte Martin gleich beim ersten Versuch erlebt. “Jöö, ein Bedenkenträger, grölte Topic”’, the other Austrian in the agency, when Martin objects to a project.38 About Xane, Kummer says: ‘Ihre Waffe war ihr loses Maul. Anders als die meisten, nahm sich Frau Molin das Recht, alles zu beurteilen und zu kommentieren Darin fühlte sie sich völlig frei von Konventionen oder Höflichkeit. Ob das seriös war, war eine andere Frage. Vielleicht war es typisch österreichisch.’39 A third perspective is provided by Sally, Xane’s Austrian childhood friend, who runs into Xane at a party in Berlin. Sally, a single-mother, who, to save money for a babysitter, drugs her child with Valium before she goes out to party, admires and envies Xane, who is only a few years older than her but is happily married and already owns her own company. Whereas Sally struggles professionally and personally, Xane seems to thrive and to be in control of her life. Xane is also confident and speaks a German that Germans understand; she corrects Sally when the latter uses the Austrian German expression to order a ‘weißer Spritzer’. Xane explains to the puzzled waiter that what Sally wants is a ‘Weißweinschorle’.40 Confident as an Austrian among Germans, Xane is comfortable to be ‘die Mischung’, that is, the mélange, to use another typical Austrian idiom for what Germans would simply call ‘Milchkaffee’, who is at home in and ridicules both cultures and speaks both varieties of German. Menasse’s writing is informed by her upbringing in Vienna in her Jewish/Catholic family with its particular jargon and humour, her exposure to Austrian anti-Semitism during a time when Austrians had to acknowledge their responsibility for war crimes during National Socialism, which coincided with the time she was coming of age (the 1980s), her professional career as a journalist, her move from Vienna to Berlin, and her insights into the conditions of female life, including the experience of infertility. Whereas she perceives Vienna as eerie (like an aunt who scares her in a dark basement), Menasse has said that she feels safe and unburdened by her family’s past in Berlin. As readers, we come to understand that her life experience, as opposed to her father’s, is one of speaking up and making herself heard. Knowing her situation, we are able to grasp where she is coming from as well. Like her protagonist Xane, Menasse herself feels liberated in Berlin: from her family’s history, as well as the Austrian national history but also from the Austrian way of dealing with life and people. As cultural hybrids, the author Menasse as well as her protagonist Xane take the best of both worlds and always the parts that they understand best. 1“Den Namen weitergeben.” Interview by Ayala Goldmann.

This has led the Austrian media to bestow upon some of them the negative label ‘Nestbeschmutzer’. Especially Thomas Bernhard, Josef Winkler and Elfriede Jelinek have been criticized for fouling the nest, i.e. the social, economic and political systems which comprise family, job environment, village, city, company and state in which they live. The related idiom ‘das eigene Nest beschmutzen’, i.e. to speak negatively about one’s family or the community in which one lives, has been documented since the late middle ages. Second-generation post-war authors often criticize their parents and teachers, as well as politicians and other public persons in their works. Their fictional characters are rarely able to forgive and remain angry and disappointed to the very end. 14Müllender, Yannick. ‘Generationenkonzept in zeitgenössischen-jüdischen Romanen.’ Journal of Austrian Studies, Vol. 46, No. 2 (2013), p. 23. 15https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI-pPjmoNc8. 16Cf.

Updated 16:20, 1 OCT 2013 Mohammed Miah Mohammed Rashel Miah, 19, who has learning difficulties, has been missing from his home in Boundaries Road since 12.45am on August 20. His parents and four siblings say they have been searching the streets night and day looking for him and are completely mystified about his disappearance. His 17-year-old sister Rojena said: "He was talking to us as normal before he left the house and there was nothing to suggest anything was wrong. We are desperately worried about him. All we want is for him to come home or at least get in touch." Mohammed, a former pupil at Clarendon School in Hanworth Road, Hampton, had just completed an entry level course in adult literacy at Richmond College prior to his disappearance. He is described as 5ft 7in tall, of slim build, with short black hair, and was last seen wearing a stripey grey and black cardigan, dark jeans, and white Adidas trainers. His family think he may have also taken his Nike rucksack with him. Anyone with information about his whereabouts should contact 020 8751 4246 or 07983 341432.

__label__wiki	0.894676	0.894676	How Europe hopes to keep trade flowing with Iran by: DAVID McHUGH, Associated Press A carpet seller arranges hand-woven carpets at his stall at Jomeh Bazaar, or Friday Market, in Tehran, Iran, Friday, June 28, 2019. The Tehran’s famous and crowded Jomeh Bazaar stands up on every Friday to display mostly bric-a- brac, traditional dress, household goods, arts, and handicrafts, in a multi-story car park in downtown Tehran. (AP Photo/Vahid Salemi) FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — European countries want to convince Iran to stick to its nuclear deal with world powers and have created a payment system that would facilitate some forms of trade with Iran in the face of financial sanctions and pressure from the U.S. President Donald Trump has pulled the U.S. out of the nuclear deal, in which Iran agreed to limit its nuclear efforts in return for a lifting of painful economic sanctions. To keep the deal going without the U.S., Europe has told Iran it will find a way to keep doing business outside normal financial channels. European countries have dubbed their trade mechanism INSTEX, for Instrument in Support of Trade Exchanges. Here’s a look at what it is and why it matters. Q: Why create INSTEX? A: Companies that import and export need to get paid through banks. Yet financial institutions will be loath to incur the displeasure of the U.S. Europe is setting up INSTEX to show Iran that they’re serious about helping Iran deal with the burden of sanctions – so long as Iran is willing to keep to the 2015 nuclear deal, which European countries think is the best way to contain Iran’s nuclear ambitions and avoid conflict. Q: What exactly is INSTEX? A: It is an organization that’s meant to coordinate import and export payments so that European companies can do business with Iran in the face of U.S. pressure and Iran can get badly needed goods and revenue. Its founding shareholders are Britain, France and the United Kingdom. Others could join . An EU official said Friday that it was “now operational.” Q: How would INSTEX facilitate trade? A: It would balance payments for imports and exports, acting as a middleman and reducing the need for transactions directly between the European and Iranian financial systems. Banks working with European companies are hesitant to accept any funds originating in Iran, even for humanitarian trade that is formally exempt from sanctions. Q: How does that work in practice? A: Say, for example, a European exporter wants to sell medicine to an Iranian company. INSTEX records the sale in a trade ledger and then finds a European importer who is buying pistachios from Iran. INSTEX then approves a payment from the European pistachio importer to the European medicine exporter. That means the medicine gets paid for, but from one European bank to another without any funds from Iran. Meanwhile, INSTEX’s counterpart in Iran coordinates a similar payment from the Iranian importer of medicine to the Iranian exporter of pistachios. The funds remain in Iran. Everyone has been paid and no European bank has to worry about taking Iranian money. Q: Does this cover all goods, even oil? A: The countries setting up INSTEX said only that it will be “focusing initially on the sectors most essential to the Iranian population – such as pharmaceutical, medical devices and agrifood goods.” That avoids a direct clash with the White House, since U.S. sanctions permit trade in humanitarian goods. European countries that had exemptions from U.S. sanctions to buy oil stopped buying crude, and the exemptions have now been withdrawn by Trump in any case. Cornelius Adebahr, associate fellow at the German Council on Foreign Relations, said the companies most likely to use the payment system were small firms with longstanding business ties to the Middle East and no U.S. business. “It is a very reduced target group,” he said. “It’s not about giant sums in the billions, particularly at the beginning.” Starting transactions would let the Europeans say to Iran, “we’re not just talking, we’re doing something. That would be important and that’s what the Europeans are working on.” Q: Could the U.S. retaliate against INSTEX? A: The European countries would in effect create a diplomatic shield around companies trying to do business in Iran. It does not eliminate risk of U.S. pressure, but analysts writing for the European Council on Foreign Relations say that the involvement of the three biggest economies in Europe raises the stakes for Washington should it try to apply pressure as it has on the private sector. Brian Hook, special U.S. representative for Iran and senior advisor to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, said in May that he was skeptical Iran would ever set up a transparent local entity to complete its end of the arrangement. He said that if INSTEX ever became operational, the U.S. expected it to be used only for permitted humanitarian transactions: “We have said repeatedly for some time now that we will sanction any sanctionable behavior… I don’t see any corporate demand for INSTEX.” “We just don’t see any corporate demand for it because if a corporation is given a choice between doing business in the United States or doing business in Iran it’s going to choose the United States every single time. So that’s our current assessment of INSTEX.” Kirsten Grieshaber in Berlin contributed to this report.

__label__wiki	0.770132	0.770132	Home » API’s Environmental Partnership Cites E&P Initiatives to Reduce Emissions Canada / Shale Daily / Gulf Coast / E&P / Mid-Continent / Northeast / Rockies/Other / NGI All News Access API’s Environmental Partnership Cites E&P Initiatives to Reduce Emissions TAGS carbon / emissions Oil, Gas Environmental Partnership Cutting Methane Emissions, API Reports NGSA Calls for Carbon Pricing to Reduce Emissions Schlumberger Sets Target on Reducing GHG Emissions to Meet UN Climate Goals A coalition of U.S. natural gas and oil producers formed in late 2017 to innovate and add best practices to improve environmental performance and reduce emissions from Lower 48 operations said it has grown to 69 members and represents more than one-third of total domestic output. The Environmental Partnership, which began with 26 exploration and production (E&P) companies, now includes 70 natural gas and oil operators, including 32 of the top 40 gas producers, according to the American Petroleum Institute (API), which administers the group. “The rapid growth of The Environmental Partnership in its first two years demonstrates the commitment of the U.S. natural gas and oil industry to delivering solutions that lower emissions while meeting society’s growing energy needs,” said program director Matthew Todd. “The collective actions of the industry...have already proven effective in reducing emissions.” Overall, methane emissions from the natural gas industry have fallen an estimated 14% even as production has increased since 1990 by 50%, API said, citing figures from the Energy Information Administration. “This is effectively a 43% reduction in the rate of emissions, further demonstrating the industry’s continued progress in minimizing emissions as we maximize efficiency in getting energy to the consumer,” executives said. The E&P partnership also highlighted work underway by its members, noting they have conducted more than 156,000 surveys across nearly 80,000 production sites to reduce emissions. “The surveys inspected more than 56 million components and found that only 0.16% of components were in need of repair,” the partnership said. Nearly all (99%) were repaired within 60 days. Members also are upgrading and replacing emissions-related equipment, with more than 31,000 high-bleed pneumatic controllers replaced, retrofitted or removed from service. API’s 600-plus members include large integrated companies, as well as exploration and production, refining, marketing, pipeline, marine businesses, and service/supply firms. In September, an oil and natural gas climate accord made up of 13 of the largest global producers launched initiatives that include decarbonizing industrial hubs to reduce methane emissions and pledged to support policies "that attribute an explicit or implicit value to carbon." Meanwhile, Natural Gas Supply Association (NGSA), which counts among its members some of the world's largest gas producers and marketers, said earlier this month it supports carbon pricing "as a critical pathway to aggressively reducing carbon emissions." CEO Dena Wiggins said the association wants to create “a clean energy future that is affordable for all and we believe a price on carbon will help get us there. Pricing carbon will help reduce carbon emissions now, while encouraging the development of innovative technologies like carbon capture that will drastically reduce or even eliminate emissions in the future... "We believe a national carbon pricing plan across all sectors would achieve the best results, but if states are designing individual approaches to reducing emissions right now, we urge them to incorporate a price on carbon in power markets, ideally coordinated with other states."

__label__cc	0.689254	0.310746	Giving Back to Nature At Nature’s Way, we strive to help people live their best lives using the gifts of nature. To live up to that vision, we believe we need to care for the planet and people that provide those gifts. Our current initiatives help us recycle more, support communities, source sustainably, and keep our manufacturing processes focused on limiting our footprint. New Post-Consumer Recycled Packaging In April 2019, Nature’s Way will be unveiling our new bottles on our herbal line. These bottles are made with 97% post-consumer recycled materials. What this means: Through this endeavor, we’ll divert plastic that would have been thrown out and recycle it into our new bottles. Our Nature’s way herbal bottles will be recyclable. 1% of annual Nature’s Way Ultra Pure sales are donated to environmental causes worldwide through 1% for the Planet, an alliance of businesses committed to creating a healthier world. Commitment to Quality Sourcing At Nature’s Way, we source botanicals from the places they grow best. Sourcing botanicals from native climates ensures authenticity and quality and it keeps local farmers and suppliers employed. By going directly where herbs grow best and supporting the people who grow them best, we can support local communities and small family businesses (that have often spanned generations). Partnership with the ABC Sustainable Herbs Program The American Botanical Council Sustainable Herbs Project sets the standard for how to sustainably source herbs from around the globe. As a member, we’re committed to ensuring future generations have access to these powerful plants by responsibly sourcing our raw ingredients. We bring nature’s gifts to you – so we want to make sure we keep these gifts healthy for generations. A big part of that is contributing to less landfill waste. Over the last several years, we’ve made a conscious effort to waste less. In total, our waste is down 14% year-over-year and we divert over 70% of our waste to recycling facilities. We’re always making improvements to impact the earth.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0051.json.gz/line2712

Széchényi’s dances, all but three of which were composed in St Petersburg, were popular in his day, and of a quality that saw them placed in concert programmes by his friend Johann Strauss II. Appearing here in their première recordings, they reveal a brilliant collection of mazurkas and polkas with a keen sense of humour and deep feeling in their arching musical brush strokes and romantic melodies.

Ray (3-4) took a shutout into the eighth inning to outpitch Texas' Yovani Gallardo, and the Diamondbacks beat the Rangers 4-2. Ray pitched four-hit ball with one walk over a career-high 7 2/3 innings. The rookie didn't give up a hit until Elvis Andrus' single with two outs in the fifth. "He's opened my eyes," Hale said of Ray. "I'm really excited about his future because he's going to get a better breaking ball and trust his changeup more and he's going to have three pitches. He's going to be a pretty good pitcher for us." The latest news from around North Texas. coronavirus 10 mins ago Local Doctor Suggests Vigilance, Not Panic, With Coronavirus Fort Worth police 53 mins ago Fort Worth Police Hold Community Forum in Como Neighborhood The left-hander beat an established good pitcher. Gallardo came into the game with 29 1/3 consecutive scoreless innings, and didn't give up a run until Jake Lamb's two-run, broken-bat single with two out in the fifth. "We were hitting the ball hard," Lamb said. "And then I come up and break my bat, don't hit the ball hard, and that's two RBIs. They say `They even out,' and in that case they did." Ray (3-4) pitched four-hit ball with one walk over a career-high 7 2/3 innings. He didn't give up a hit until Elvis Andrus' single with two outs in the fifth. Jake Lamb's two-run single with two outs in the top of the fifth put Arizona ahead 2-0 and ended Gallardo's consecutive scoreless streak at 33 1/3 innings. A.J. Pollock's RBI single with two outs in the sixth made it 3-0 and chased Gallardo (7-7). Paul Goldschmidt had two hits, including an RBI single in the eighth. The Rangers got on the scoreboard in the bottom of eighth as Arizona right fielder Yasmany Tomas missed Andrus' line drive for a three-base error and Andrus scored on Shin-Soo Choo's sacrifice fly. Delino DeShields doubled with two outs and scored on Rougned Odor's single, chasing Ray. Brad Ziegler pitched a perfect ninth inning for his career high-tying 13th save in 15 opportunities. The Diamondbacks won for the fourth time in five games and handed Texas its fourth straight loss. Rangers pitchers have allowed 37 runs and 60 hits during the losing streak. Ray's 91 pitches were his lowest total in eight major league starts this season. "The key is to always get ahead of hitters," he said. "If you get ahead, then you can pitch your game, and that was the key tonight. I felt like everything was working, especially my fastball command." Rangers manager Jeff Banister agreed. "I think the finish on the fastball is what got us." Gallardo allowed eight hits and five walks. The Diamondbacks put their first two batters on base in both the second and fourth innings. Texas turned double plays on balls in the air to stop both threats. Gallardo's scoreless streak was the third-longest in franchise history, trailing Kenny Rogers' 39-inning stretch in 1993 and Charlie Hough's 36 innings in 1983. LF Josh Hamilton returned to the lineup after missing two games because of a strained hip muscle. ...

LHP Matt Harrison is scheduled to make his first major league appearance since May 13, 2014. He underwent spinal fusion in June 2014. In six injury-rehab starts this season, Harrison went 1-3 with a 6.23 ERA. He was won only one major league game since going 18-11 in 2012.

__label__cc	0.684497	0.315503	An Open Letter to Rob Miller (Amebix, Tau Cross) By Tony Croasdale \| 7.15.2019 Tau Cross An Open Letter to The Baron: The following is my response to Rob Miller’s (aka The Baron’s) exposure as a holocaust denier conspiracy theorist. This came to light when he thanked a holocaust denier in his personal acknowledgments in Tau Cross’ newest record, Messengers of Deception. After being alerted to this by German magazine, Ox, Relapse decided not to release the record. Rob has released two statements condemning Relapse, his band mates, and his audience for the backlash. He never denied being a holocaust denier, and specifically mentioned being inspired by a holocaust denial book and a Nazi Germany favoring revisionist history video series. Brooklyn Vegan has some very good posts about this. Amebix was one of the most important bands to me. For Halloween, I sang in an Amebix cover band for two shows in 2007 as a benefit for an environmental center in East Kalimantan (Borneo) Indonesia. We dressed like Amebix circa Monolith with mullets and eyeliner. We even had a cardboard Stonehenge. I sent Rob photos of the show and we became sort of cyber pen pals. This led to introducing him to my Pointless Fest partner Greg Daly to facilitate the booking of Amebix’ US 1st tour. I arranged to have Rob make one of my best friends (and Amebix cover band mate) an Amebix themed sword as a surprise for his 40th birthday. I’d talk to Rob occasionally since then and saw him when Tau Cross played. I reached out to Rob twice since the news broke, but he has yet to respond. I decided to write this open letter because: I do know Rob personally, Amebix meant so much to me, and most importantly, because of my disdain for the dangerous nonsense of conspiracy theorists. Dear Rob, I don’t know which is harder to swallow – the fact that you have become an anti-Semite, or the fact that the person who wrote some of the lyrics I hold most dear is this stupid. You need to be slapped. You are not clever enough to be onto something that the rest of us haven’t figured out. Your intellectual insecurity has led you to the drug of conspiracy theory. You get high on thinking you have figured out something the rest of society hasn’t. You needed a stronger fix, so you went deeper into the rabbit hole. Here’s the thing about conspiracy theory — to the conspiracy theorist, everyone is in on it but you. If something like the holocaust could be faked, then anything could be faked. The sheer magnitude of effort needed to pull off that type of mass deception means that we cannot trust anything. Hundreds of thousands of “crisis actors” would have to have been recruited to live the rest of their lives in this fiction. I knew holocaust survivors; you are a bit older than me, so you must have known some too. If deception can be perpetrated on this scale, then why believe anything? How could you trust your supposed truth anymore than the prevailing narrative? How can you possibly vet any evidence in such a world? If nothing can be trusted, then why put so much effort into this most wretched subject? I hope you are just an idiot; the alternative is very painful. This reek of backwards engineering an excuse for hatred. You speak of truth, however putting a holocaust denier’s name in your personal acknowledgments, unbeknownst to your band mates, isn’t being truthful; it’s a cowardly dog whistle. The arrogance of your statement is bewildering. The path of “truth” you offer is nothing more than a middle-aged man self-radicalizing by looking at dumb shit on the internet. We can all just hang out with our meme-sharing uncles for the same effect. I put some distance between the punk scene and myself to pursue my own truth. I needed to know if what I signed up for when I was 15 was my authentic self. I put my band on hold and immersed myself in the real pursuit of truth — science. I went back to undergrad and then graduate school. I learned how to evaluate evidence. I learned the tools to understand and perform research. There are millions of highly educated freethinkers who have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of truth. The scientific community loves nothing more than proving each other wrong. As a scientist I am trained to look for patterns. I see a pattern here. I observe that those most concerned with "free speech" seem to always express bigotry. Where are these free speech advocates when the Trump administration is suppressing climate change and LBGTQ terminology? They always seem to demand “free speech” only when a record label or university elects to not give a voice to anti-Semitism or transphobia. Stepping outside of my insular bubble was humbling. There are a few things that many punks get wrong: GMOs, outside cats, anti-vaxxers…. But punk gets it mostly right. The bulk of the DIY punk scene is made up of good intentioned people trying to make a difference. You gave us some of our best anthems. In your smug parting shot, you call your fans “kids” and declare that now you can no longer be part of our community. You were, until recently, happy to be touring and releasing records to this audience. It’s only after your pathetic attempt at a shibboleth for your fellow idiots exposed you, that you are exiting. You say: “burn with me.” I say you burned your legacy. Tony Croasdale aka Tony Pointless P.S.

The pledge includes up to $60 million over 10 years by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Partners in the Washington Families Fund vowed to reduce the number of homeless families by 50 percent over the next decade. "I feel this is an opportunity right now, as much as I'm a realist about the economy," said Alice Shobe, deputy director of Building Changes, which administers the fund. "It is ambitious, but we have a vision about how to do it. We have the creativity and broad partnership to make it happen." As the recession throws more people into poverty, "we must do more to help families achieve and maintain stability," said Gov. Chris Gregoire, who signed an agreement with King, Snohomish and Pierce counties and the cities of Seattle, Everett and Tacoma to collaborate with the private partners. Created by the state Legislature in 2004, the Washington Families Fund has received contributions of more than $20 million — $12 million from the state and $8.3 million from 18 other partners, including the Gates Foundation, Boeing, Microsoft, the Campion Foundation, the Greater Tacoma Community Foundation, the Ben B. Cheney Foundation and United Way. It has awarded $13 million in grants so far. The Washington Families Fund has not yet revealed any new financial commitments other than the Gates Foundation's pledge. Governments and private groups together spend about $200 million a year to address the problem in Washington state, but as economic conditions worsen, the number of homeless families keeps going up. About half of the state's estimated 22,000 homeless households are families with children. The family of Jackilin Abiem, 25, was one of them. She arrived in 2001 as an orphan from Sudan after fleeing civil war and walking for three months across the country and eventually to a refugee camp. Once in Washington, she lived with two foster families, graduated from Garfield High School and landed her first job at McDonald's. 1 2 3 4 AllNext » Ben B.

Phoebe RamDigital News Correspondent Dean Joyce at Vision University Centre, at West Nottinghamshire College's Derby Road campus in Mansfield (Image: Vision West Nottinghamshire College) A Nottinghamshire man has defied the odds to reach his academic goals, whilst also supporting his mum and younger brother. Between 2015 and 2018, Dean Joyce, 22, committed to travelling the forty mile round trip from his home in Shirebrook to his job in Derby, determined to complete a business apprenticeship with West Nottinghamshire College. Dean had to spend nearly all of his relatively low wages on a car, proceeding to drive the gruelling daily commute. During this time, Mr Joyce was also looking after his mum, Karen Joyce, who has battled cancer, and supporting his then 13-year-old brother, Tyler. Dean has now been nominated in the Further Education category, in this year's Nottingham Post Education Awards. Adele Brookes, Dean's former apprenticeship assessor, nominated him for the award saying: "He completed his apprenticeship in the face of adversity, overcoming significant hurdles along the way." NOTTINGHAMSHIRE PEOPLE Story of the inventor of the MRI scanner Who is LadBaby? All you need to know Dr Stewart Adams and ibuprofen Who is Mansfield Town's Carolyn Radford? It all started during his A-Levels, Dean said he, "couldn't get his head around things." "But with mum being ill, I became the head of the house, the only man. It made me more mature." With Ms Joyce's increasing health problems, Dean chose to do a three-year business apprenticeship, based at a manufacturing company in Derby. Even with the mounting responsibilities at home, Dean completed his NVQ Level 2 Diploma in Business Improvement Techniques to a high standard - but did not feel he had reached his potential. "I did enjoy working, but I just wasn't making the progress I wanted", he said.

He is now also applying to study biochemistry at university next year, with the hopes of becoming a Science teacher. Dean added: "I just love learning how the world works - Science really opens your mind. "I'd love to be able to teach and help kids in the future." Game of football breaks down barriers between youths and police in St Ann's Dean said his routine is better now, and his brother Tyler, following in his footsteps, is also in college. Reacting to his nomination, he said: "It's quite exciting - it'll look great for my applications! "Adele could see me doing better, she has been very supportive. I couldn't ask for more.

The model is adapted from the UK Obstetric Surveillance System UKOSS. To develop a simple maternal morbidity surveillance and research system in the state of Assam in order to describe the changing epidemiology of risk factors, management and outcomes associated with maternal deaths and specific life-threatening complications. To use the Assam model to establish and scale up IndOSS in the other north-eastern states in India with an ultimate aim of setting up a national system Why set up IndOSS in Assam Assam is one of the eight north-eastern states in India and has a high maternal mortality ratio (MMR = 301/100,000 live births in 2012-13)[1]. The proportion of health facility-based childbirths in Assam has increased from 58% in 2010-11[2] to 66% in 2012-13[3], thereby increasing the need for a meaningful and straightforward means of monitoring the quality of maternity care in hospitals. Once established, a hospital-based surveillance system will provide a platform to conduct epidemiological studies to generate evidence to prevent severe maternal morbidity (defined as life-threatening complications during pregnancy and childbirth) and to guide management of severe obstetric complications to reduce mortality. Completed testing the feasibility of and the methods for establishing IndOSS-Assam (September 2014 to October 2015). IndOSS-Assam is already established in the two medical colleges that participated in this pilot study (Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed Medical College and Hospital (FAAMCH), Barpeta and Guahati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH).

__label__cc	0.749429	0.250571	otal Women's Health of Baltimore The major goal of prenatal care is to ensure the birth of a healthy baby with minimal risk for the mother. A suspected pregnancy should always be confirmed with either a urine or blood test. The earliest signs and symptoms of pregnancy include absence of expected menstruation, breast fullness and tenderness, frequent urination, nausea and fatigue. However, there are often no symptoms. The First Prenatal Appointment At or prior to the first prenatal visit, the patient should complete a questionnaire detailing her: Personal and demographic information Past obstetrical history Personal and family medical history Genetic history Menstrual history Current pregnancy history An estimated date of delivery can be calculated from the menstrual history or, if those dates are uncertain, a physical exam or ultrasound. The first prenatal visit is also a good time to discuss the expected course of pregnancy and delivery, including: Number and frequency of prenatal visits Recommendations for nutrition, weight gain, exercise, rest and sexual activity Routine pregnancy monitoring (e.g., weight, blood pressure, uterine growth, fetal activity and heart rate) Listeria and toxoplasmosis precautions Abstinence from alcohol, cigarettes and illicit drugs Safety of commonly used nonprescription drugs Recommendation to continue wearing three-point seat belts during pregnancy Precautions for travel, work outside of the home or hobbies Signs and symptoms to be reported (e.g., vaginal bleeding, ruptured membranes, contractions, decreased fetal activity) Patients with substance abuse problems will be strongly advised of the risks of this behavior and referred to cessation programs. Dietary and Nutrition Guidelines Vitamins: All pregnant women should eat a well-balanced diet and take a standard prenatal multivitamin that includes at least 400 micrograms of folic acid to help prevent neural tube defects. However, excessive intake of iodine, vitamin A, D, E and K may be toxic and should be avoided. Fish: The quantity and type of fish consumed should be regulated, and certain types of fish should be avoided during pregnancy due to concerns about possible environmental toxins such as mercury. Only cooked fish should be eaten. Caffeine: Daily caffeine intake greater than 500 mg appears to double the risk of spontaneous abortion, and excess coffee consumption may increase the risk of stillbirth or low birth weight. Therefore, restriction of caffeine consumption should be considered. Influenza Immunization Influenza vaccination is recommended for women in the second and third trimesters, and for high-risk women prior to influenza season regardless of stage of pregnancy. A woman with an uncomplicated pregnancy who is employed where there are no greater potential hazards than those encountered in routine daily life may continue to work without interruption until the onset of labor. However, the physical demands of the woman's job should be considered, especially for women at higher risk of preterm delivery. The Pregnancy Discrimination Act requires employers offering medical disability benefits to treat pregnancy-related disabilities just like all other disabilities. Pregnant workers must be provided the same insurance benefits, sick leave, seniority credits and reinstatement privileges awarded workers disabled by other causes. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration sets and enforces standards requiring employers to provide a workplace free from recognized hazards likely to cause serious physical harm. Lead, ethylene oxide, ionizing radiation and dibromochloropropane are substances with significant potential for reproductive toxicity. In addition, pregnant health care workers should minimize exposure to anesthetic gases, infectious agents, antineoplastic drugs and organic solvents. Pregnant women may work safely in operating rooms equipped with gas scavenging systems and adequate ventilation. In the absence of obstetric or medical complications, a pregnant woman may engage in a moderate level of physical activity. Exercise will help a pregnant woman maintain cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness. Theoretically, sexual intercourse may stimulate labor. However, in the absence of pregnancy complications (e.g., vaginal bleeding, ruptured membranes), there is insufficient evidence to recommend against sexual intercourse during pregnancy. Pregnant women, like all women, are encouraged to practice safe sex to protect against sexually transmitted infections. Most airlines allow women to fly until 35 to 36 weeks of gestation, although individual policies may vary. Commercial airline travel is generally safe for women with uncomplicated pregnancies. However, because of the changes in heart rate and blood pressure that take place in pregnancy and the lack of availability of emergency care, certain precautions should be taken. Women with complicated pregnancies (e.g., sickle cell anemia, high risk of preterm delivery, pre-eclampsia) should avoid air travel. Follow-Up Visits Subsequent visits will include measurement of blood pressure, weight and fundal height to assess fetal growth, fetal heart rate check via Doppler, and determination of fetal presentation and activity. Urine is also typically screened for protein and glucose at each visit. The frequency of prenatal visits should be based upon patient needs; in general, the minimum standard intervals for women with uncomplicated pregnancies are every four to five weeks until 28 weeks of gestation, every two to three weeks from 28 to 36 weeks, and then weekly until delivery. More frequent visits may benefit women with diabetes, hypertension, threatened preterm birth, post-term pregnancies and other pregnancy complications. It is best to discuss all prenatal testing with your provider and perhaps also a genetic counselor. There are a number of prenatal test options throughout pregnancy, including lab tests, genetic screens and ultrasounds to test for infections, birth defects and diseases. Some tests are routine, others are reserved for mothers at high risk for certain prenatal complications and conditions. Your provider is the best resource for your specific circumstances.

The meeting was closed under the education or training exception. The majority of the presentation was intended to inform council about a particular course of action that would likely come before council for a future vote. The municipality believed that the non-disclosure agreement between OPUC and Veridian meant the discussion should be held in closed session. The Ombudsman found that the purpose of the education or training exception is not to protect disclosure of sensitive business information. The Ombudsman found that the information presented and the questions asked materially advanced council’s business and decision-making. Therefore, the discussion did not fit within the education or training exception. City of Port Colborne 239(2)(a) Security of the property shared services bargaining position utility disposition of shares November 19, 201519 November 2015 The Ombudsman reviewed a closed meeting held by council for the City of Port Colborne to discuss disposing of its shares in a shared services provider. The meeting was closed under the security of the property exception. Council cited the exception because the municipality’s bargaining position might have been affected if details of the discussion were made public. The security of the property exception is narrowly construed. The Ombudsman found that the fact that any discussion in open session may have decreased the value of the shares was insufficient to bring the matter within the security of the property exception. City of Welland 239(2)(d) Labour relations or employee negotiations shared services reorganization The Ombudsman reviewed a closed meeting held by council for the City of Welland that relied on the labour relations or employee negotiations exception to discuss a shared services proposal with the public library. Council discussed staffing changes, workload, and the roles of particular employees. The labour relations or employee negotiations exception refers to the collective relationship between an employer and its employees. The Ombudsman found that council’s discussion fit within the labour relations or employee negotiations exception. Municipality of Central Huron 239(2)(f) Solicitor-client privilege shared services legal advice (none exists) March 13, 201313 March 2013 The Ombudsman reviewed a closed meeting held by council for the Municipality of Central Huron that relied on the exception for solicitor-client privilege to discuss matters involving a shared services provider. The municipality’s solicitor was not present during the meeting. The Ombudsman found that council did not discuss a specific piece of legal advice during the meeting. Therefore, the discussion did not fit within the exception for solicitor-client privilege. Scroll Up to Top Ombudsman Ontario All Contents © 2019, Ombudsman Ontario. All Rights Reserved.

Ward, who stopped at New York’s popular spot Foley’s NYC for an extensive media session Tuesday, said this version will be different from past shows, with full fights for the first time, lots of behind the scenes unvarnished storytelling, and a live finale in November. “I learned a great deal about these guys, who all are great stories and fighters, and I think fans will as well.” In addition to some familiar surnames, one being Shane Mosley Jr., the show will feature two local talents, John Thompson (18-3, 6 KOs), 29, of Newark, New Jersey, who won the 2015 ESPN Boxcino junior middleweight tournament, and does a great deal of community work in and around The Brick City, and Devaun Lee (10-3-1, 5 KOs), 30, of Queens, who turned to boxing and away from the streets when he was 16 and a friend was shot and killed. The show will kick off what is to be an intriguing fall for the sport, which will include September’s Triple G-Alvarez rematch, the launch of pay service DAZN, scores of elite cards with HBO and Showtime, and an expanded new partnership for boxing with ESPN that Ward will be part of. Oh, and then Thanksgiving week is the premier of CREED II, which has gotten tremendous buzz along with rumors that we may see a Drago appearance back into the series. Ward reprises his role as Danny “Stuntman” Wheeler. “Being around the starpower of the production was another learning experience, and I know fans are going to be both impressed and intrigued by the story when it comes out,” Ward added. Live fights, great stories, big investment, large scale media interest all sound great. Boxing however is a sport of results, so we shall see where this all goes. However having a telegenic voice like Ward, along with some other great stars in and out of the ring is a huge lift for the sport, one which has needed a consistent shot in the arm for a long time. Is boxing back? At least now, it’s hard to argue with the champ.

__label__wiki	0.727583	0.727583	No Real Madrid but plenty to enjoy in 2018 Liga Santander matches IANS Thursday, 20 December 2018 07:00:11 PM 2 minutes, 45 seconds Madrid : The last round of matches in the Liga Santander before the Christmas holidays will not see Real Madrid in action, giving their rivals at the top of the table the chance to open the gap over Santiago Solari's side. Real Madrid's commitments in the Club World Cup in the UAE mean their scheduled game against struggling Villarreal has been postponed until January 3, but there should still be plenty to enjoy as Spain prepares for the break, reports Xinhua news agency. The round of matches kicks off with two games on Friday as Girona, who have lost their last two games, entertain Getafe, who have moved to the edge of qualifying for Europe after recent results. Their last victims, Real Sociedad are also in action on Friday with a Basque derby at home to Alaves. Alaves have dropped to sixth in the table after four games without a win, but will be optimistic of a positive result in the Anoeta Stadium where 'La Real' have only one win all season. The big game on Saturday sees FC Barcelona look to end 2018 on a high as they entertain Celta Vigo. Barca have scored 9 goals in their last two games (4-0 away to Espanyol and 5-0 away to Levante) and have Leo Messi in outstanding form. The Argentinean picked up the European Golden Boot away for 2018 during the week and his five goals in Barca's last 2 games have taken him to 14 league goals so far for this campaign, to which he can also add 10 assists. The only issue for Barca coach Ernesto Valverde is in defense where Samuel Umtiti, Sergi Roberto and Thomas Vermaelen are all sidelined through injury. Betis have moved up to fifth after a run which has seen them win four of their last five league matches and recover the fluid passing game which served them so well last season. They face the always difficult to beat Eibar on Saturday, knowing a win would take them to within just a point of Real Madrid, who they play early in the New Year. Atletico Madrid will hope to put rumours about the possible departure of Lucas Hernandez to the back of their mind, when they entertain Espanyol, who visit the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium after suffering five defeats in their last five matches. Saturday ends with Athletic Club Bilbao at home to Valladolid. Although Athletic kick off in the relegation zone after a poor start to the season, the arrival of Gaizka Garitano as coach has seen them improve drastically in defence with two clean sheets in their last two games and has brought a more positive attitude to the club. The visit of bottom of the table Huesca to Valencia on Sunday lunchtime should give the home side the chance to pick up their second home win of the campaign. It promises to be interesting in Leganes where second place Sevilla look to keep the pressure on Barca. Sevilla are unbeaten in their last 7 league games, but Leganes have climbed out of the relegation zone with a six-game unbeaten run in which they have conceded just 4 goals and it promises to be close. The year ends with second bottom Rayo Vallecano at home to Levante who want to put last weekend's 5-0 defeat to Barca behind them as soon as possible.

__label__wiki	0.881303	0.881303	Nerd It Here First Home Complete Guide Complete Guide to Games \| July 2019 Complete Guide Complete Guide to Games \| July 2019 Ryley Trahan Summer is hardly the peak video game season. Aside from the excitement of E3, most gamers spend the summer waiting for the big releases in the Fall. But there are some great games coming out this month to help make that wait more bearable. Plus, there are some incredible games available for free with Xbox Gold or PlayStation Plus subscriptions. Stranger Things 3: The Game (PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PS4) Since July 2016, America has had a bit of an obsession with Stranger Things. The Netflix drama about kids on bikes cashed in on 1980s nostalgia in a big way. With three different storylines, each riffing on a different 80s genre, Season 1 of Stranger Things had something for everyone. When Season 2 premiered in 2017, it did little to satisfy people’s hunger for the series. If anything, it left audiences even more hungry for more. So, after a two-year hiatus, Netflix doubled down. This month we got a third season of the hit drama, as well as an 80s inspired video game. The 16-bit game will help sate your hunger during the inevitable wait for Season 4. God Eater 3 (Nintendo Switch) God Eater 3 originally hit PlayStation 4 in Japan last December, with its worldwide release in February. Now it’s expanding to the Nintendo Switch this month. The hack and slash RPG asks players to hunt down massive monsters known as Aragami. The player character hunts alongside companions controlled by an artificial intelligence engine. While the previous two installments in this franchise were available on handheld systems, God Eater 3 was originally only available on the PlayStation. So the release on the Nintendo Switch is a great opportunity for loyal fans of the handheld game, as well as newcomers with a Switch, to hop on board to an exciting game franchise. Beyond: Two Souls (PC) If you want your video game to send ripples through the industry, premiere it at a film festival. That’s exactly what happened in 2013 when developer Quantic Dream and publisher Sony Computer Entertainment brought Beyond: Two Souls to Tribeca Film Festival. It was the second ever game to be recognized by Tribeca (the first being L.A. Noir). After six years, Beyond: Two Souls will be available to PC users through the Epic Game Store. This move is a part of the same deal that brought Detroit: Beyond Human and Heavy Rain to the store earlier this year. Each of the three re-releases is essential for PC gamers who missed out on the original releases of these games. Wolfenstein: Youngblood (PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PS4) The rebooted Wolfenstein franchise has been a massive success. The New Order breathed new life into the franchise in 2014. Then New Colossus capitalized on that popularity. It was an exciting and well-made game that was ranked among the top 10 games of 2017 on almost every list. With Youngblood, the Wolfenstein team is taking a bit of a risk. The game is a spin-off game in the spirit of Far Cry: New Dawn from earlier this year. The game will be priced at $30 and offers a multiplayer mode. All of this makes it a game that’s unlike anything we’ve seen from the franchise so far. After a couple of reboots that have made the franchise more popular than ever, it will be interesting to see if the risks taken with Youngblood pay off. What are you looking forward to this month?

__label__wiki	0.562516	0.562516	Home>Products and Trends>Food and Beverage Whole grains up, whole wheat down Whole grain sales soar while people buy less whole wheat. Shara Rutberg \| Nov 02, 2016 People are gobbling up whole grains, but whole wheat? Not so much. While a recent Truven Health Analytics-NPY Health Poll found that 27 percent of people say they’re eating more whole grains than they did six months ago, people are thinking beyond wheat. "There’s more awareness that whole grain foods made with flour—bread, crackers, cookies, cereal—aren’t the only game in town, and that eating whole grains themselves in their intact form is not only healthy but opens new worlds of flavor and texture,” Cynthia Harriman, director of food and nutrition strategies at the Whole Grains Council, told BakingBusiness.com. The gluten-free trend may be a factor in whole wheat’s slump. "Gluten-free interest continues to be high, so whole wheat flour has in some applications been displaced by gluten-free flour blends," Harriman said. "Also, remember that most grains are gluten-free, so even people who have no interest in eating gluten-free are eating gluten-free grains just for the variety. Witness quinoa’s popularity, which predates the current gluten-free push." Related: A new wave of grains So far this year, 1,282 new products have registered for the Whole Grain Stamp, which puts the total in line to at least match last year's record total of 2,122 new products. Consumers seem to have mixed feelings about grains in general, notes FoodDive.com. While the demand for whole grains soars, people seeking perceived health benefits of gluten free continue to avoid gluten, while scientists question the benefits of the diet for people without celiac disease. A recent review of research finds "overwhelming" evidence of the health benefits of a diet that includes whole grains, and no basis for the wheat-free movement for the majority of people. “Other than for the 2 percent of the population with a specific gluten or wheat intolerance, the scientific evidence behind many of the most popular wheat- and carbohydrate-free diets turns out to be surprisingly thin and selectively used,” said senior research fellow Rob Lillywhite of the University of Warwick’s Warwick Crop Centre in its School of Life Sciences.

Sean Keach The SunDecember 11, 201910:41am The Supervolcanoes that could kill us all Scientists are worried that nuclear testing at the base of Mt Paektu could cause it to explode. A supervolcano eruption has the potential to impact the earth in the same way as an asteroid. It could be the end of the human race. This view of asteroid Bennu ejecting particles from its surface on January 19. Picture: NASA/Goddard/University of Arizona/Lockheed MartinSource:Supplied An enormous asteroid that could one day hit Earth in a devastating impact is mysteriously spitting out rocks. So-called “doomsday” asteroid Bennu is ejecting metre-sized “particles” into space – and NASA is baffled. Bennu has achieved infamy after being declared a “hazardous object” by astronomers. The 487-metre asteroid could smash into Earth on several different dates in an event akin to all-out nuclear war. Late last year’s NASA’s OSIRIS-REx probe arrived at Bennu and began circling it, relaying images and data to space scientists. And researchers made an unexpected discovery: Bennu was occasionally “discharging” large chunks of material into space. These particles then either briefly orbited Bennu and fell back onto its surface – or escaped into space. This view of asteroid Bennu ejecting particles from its surface on January 19 was created by combining two images taken by the NavCam 1 imager on-board NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft. Picture: NASA/Goddard/University of Arizona/Lockheed MartinSource:Supplied “No one has ever seen an active asteroid up close like this,” said Carl Hergenrother, an astronomer at the University of Arizona, speaking to Wired. “It wasn’t that long ago that the conventional wisdom was that asteroids are these dead bodies that didn’t change very much.” Some of the chunks of material were travelling at more than three metres per second and were blasted out during “ejection events”. The largest of these events took place on January 6 and ejected 200 separate chunks. “Among Bennu’s many surprises, the particle ejections sparked our curiosity, and we’ve spent the last several months investigating this mystery,” said Dante Lauretta, OSIRIS-REx principal investigator at the University of Arizona, Tucson. “This is a great opportunity to expand our knowledge of how asteroids behave.” Scientists have several theories about what could be causing the ejection events. It’s possible that meteoroids are striking Bennu, blasting material up into space. Thermal stress fracturing – where a change from cold to warm temperatures during the day creates rifts – could also be sparking ejections. And the release of water vapour sending particles flying is the third theory being discussed. “It could be that more than one of these possible mechanisms are at play,” said Steve Chesley, an author on the paper and senior research scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. “For example, thermal fracturing could be chopping the surface material into small pieces, making it far easier for meteoroid impacts to launch pebbles into space.” Further examinations should reveal the truth. Importantly, the OSIRIS-REx probe is also due to land on Bennu in 2023 to scoop up samples ahead of its return to Earth. NASA doesn’t know why particles are coming off the Bennu asteroid. Picture: NASA/Goddard/University of Arizona/Lockheed MartinSource:Supplied The other good news is that although Bennu could hit us, it’s unlikely. “The possibility of Bennu hitting Earth is very low (1 in 3000), and if it does, it will be in 150-200 years time,” said Dr Robin Smith, a physicist at Sheffield Hallam University, speaking to The Sun earlier this year. And by then, it’s possible that we’ll have put into place a sci-fi asteroid-blasting weapon to save us from certain doom. However, an impact by Bennu would be devastating for Earth if it happened. Astrophysicists recently revealed to The Sun what it would feel like for blitzed onlookers watching the 487-metre rock’s impact from around the world. The asteroid would hit Earth “with almost the same speed as in space – 27km/s (97,200km/h)”, said Dr Martin Archer. He’s a space physicist at the Queen Mary University London and has told The Sun exactly how destructive Bennu’s impact could be. “The crater would be eight kilometres wide and 600 metres deep,” Dr Archer explained. And he warned that the scale of destruction would be staggering, akin to all-out nuclear war. For anyone within a 1600-metre radius of the impact, it’s game over. “You’d probably be vaporised,” sad Dr Archer. “Or at least flung into the air at immense speed.” All the experts that we spoke to agreed that it would be similar to a major nuclear attack. You would be killed instantly – before you even knew what was happening. “You will get little warning and will be vaporised, like sitting at ground zero of a large nuke. Nothing will survive,” Dr David L Clements, of Imperial College London, told The Sun. “If it hit London then it’s goodbye to London and everything and everyone in it and significant damage to anything closer than Birmingham. “The impact of Bennu hitting the Earth would be the equivalent of a very large nuclear bomb going off,” he added. The situation isn’t much cheerier 16 kilometres away from the impact either. The asteroid strike will create so much heat that you and everything around you will be enveloped in flames. “You’ll be incinerated by the thermal flash from a fireball 275 times brighter than the sun,” said Dr Clements. “Clothing, wood, trees, grass ignite and you’ll suffer third-degree burning from the flash before the ignited fires get you. It will be a firestorm. “The blast will destroy pretty much all buildings, and 90 per cent of trees will be blown down. “The blast arrives about 50 seconds after the flash, so everything will be on fire already.” What if you’re 160 kilometres from the impact site? That’s about the distance from Sydney to Newcastle. Well, the air will be so hot – and moving at hundreds of kilometres an hour – that you’re still at risk from third-degree burns. Dr Archer says you’d see an eight kilometre-wide fireball that looks “five times bigger than the sun” for about a minute. Next you’d feel a magnitude 7 earthquake around 30 seconds after impact. After three minutes, you’d be hit by a dusting of ejected rock. “And eight minutes later, you’d be hit by a sound about as loud as heavy traffic that could shatter windows,” Dr Archer said. And if that doesn’t get you, superheated rocks falling from space could crush you. Or simply burn you alive.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0051.json.gz/line2759

Last winter, Linfield College was at a turning point. Student enrollment was dropping and administrators were running out of ways to cut the budget. They’d already frozen salaries, increased tuition and sold off property. Faculty layoffs were on the table. Melrose Hall at Linfield College is seen through Japanese maple leaves Tuesday, May 21, 2019, in McMinnville, Ore. Budget cuts and declining enrollment have forced tough decisions about the future of small, private colleges like Linfield. Bradley W.

When Marylhurst closed, leaders of the 100-year-old institution said they hadn’t moved quickly enough to respond to enrollment declines. Cutting To Stay Ahead Of Decline Linfield administrators are hoping they’re making changes quickly enough. On the front lines of those changes is President Miles Davis, entering his second year at the helm of the college in McMinnville. “We just had to address the issues relevant to how do you balance a budget,” Davis told OPB recently.

Rob Manning/OPB The American West’s Oldest University Struggles To Find A Future “A part of the College’s restructuring and academic prioritization process will be to eliminate some faculty positions that were consistent in a time when we had more than 1600 students, but are not sustainable in our present circumstances (1240 students),” wrote Davis last February. Before administrators started writing any pink slips, though, Davis asked for volunteers to leave or retire early. “We asked our community to chip in, and part of that chipping in came from faculty members and our staff who took either a voluntary early retirement – in the first part of the year — or took a voluntary separation agreement,” Davis said in an interview. College administrators said the idea for “voluntary” separations came from faculty. But the step made professors anxious. Many had been part of the Linfield community for years and had no plans to leave soon. “You know, ‘I’m not ready to retire, or close,’” Miller recalled one professor telling him. “‘But I want to take this offer both to help the college and to ensure my junior colleagues, who are just starting out their careers, have an opportunity for a longer career at Linfield.’” Core Principles At Stake The possibility of layoffs is scary in any workplace. But in higher education, laying off professors threatens a core principle throughout academia: Tenure. Professors work for years to earn the job security and academic freedom that comes with tenure. For a college to lay off tenured professors for budget reasons is admitting financial disaster, but that’s what Linfield was doing according to faculty familiar with the discussions last winter. In the winter and early spring, the Linfield chapter of the American Association of University Professors circulated a petition to faculty across the country, asking for help fighting a perceived threat to tenure. Administration officials insist there was never a serious discussion about eliminating tenure. But Miller said significant changes were certainly debated.

Thinking Of Becoming A Linfield Wildcat? Your Cat Can, Too Administrators, such as Davis, decided which voluntary separations and early retirements would be accepted. Professors say those decisions raised questions about the college’s commitment to its core mission: liberal arts education. As a private college, Linfield administrators don’t have to share internal details of budget decisions, and they declined to discuss specifics about which separations and retirements were accepted. Miller analyzed them and said that more separations came from arts and humanities, followed by social sciences and hard sciences with the fewest. Signs Of Growth There’s one program that was spared any cuts through retirements and separations: nursing. Demand for the nursing school is growing, and the college is feeling pressure to hold on to, or expand its faculty, rather than shrink it to save money. “If anything, we’ve had more applicants than we can take,” said Paul Smith, associate dean of Linfield’s School of Nursing.

Linfield purchased a 10-building campus in Portland for its nursing program in 2018. Saying Goodbye To The Oregon College Of Art And Craft Numerous faculty members contacted by OPB didn’t respond, or would only discuss their concerns if their names weren’t used. The July memo from faculty points to a problematic culture on campus. “In order to move forward on rebuilding our institution, the faculty feel that we must reflect critically on what occurred over the last year and that the President and Board of Trustees understands the precarious position we are in as an institution and the frustration and fear felt widely by our constituency,” the executive council wrote “on behalf of the faculty assembly.” The memo said at one point Davis suggested faculty leaders help identify faculty positions to eliminate – a request faculty leaders said would violate college policy. The memo goes on to list three major areas of concern with college leadership: shared governance; professional conduct and effectiveness of leadership; and academic freedom and tenure. “We have been given reason to doubt [the current administration’s] commitment to shared governance, dedication to the liberal arts, genuine willingness to work with the faculty in pursuit of strategic institutional goals, dedication to collaboration, and commitment to protect academic freedom and tenure,” the memo said. The Future: Linfield University Davis wrote his own message to the Linfield community a few days after the faculty memo. Its title: “Linfield University: The Case for Change.” Davis said he and the faculty are working toward the same goals: a strong college with nursing and liberal arts, and support for tenure. But he argues the college has to change as the world changes around it. In his July memo, Davis said part of the reason for Linfield’s restructuring was in response to a law the Oregon legislature passed last May allowing community colleges to confer bachelor’s degrees. He said it “will make recruiting to Linfield College even more difficult.” Davis said it’s already hard to differentiate Linfield from community colleges. Oregon Colleges Forced To Adjust As Student Priorities Expand To facilitate growth and preserve its liberal arts core, Linfield College is exploring ways to configure itself into different schools, as it becomes Linfield University,” Davis said. Davis told OPB that he anticipates a graduate program in healthcare, but faculty members said they aren’t clear on what other academic areas will be prioritized as the school evolves. The faculty’s July memo a few days earlier expressed as much, saying “the plan for restructuring the college has not been adequately explained, defended or placed within the larger context of a strategic plan for the institution.” Davis said part of the solution is to continue to rein in costs, but he said it’s also critical to attracting more students, at a time when demographers predict a falling number of college-bound students. Davis suggests colleges can buck that trend by working harder to enroll students they might not have gone after in the past. “There are less of the traditional, college-enrollment students – i.e. white, middle class – who are graduating, while there are significant increases in brown and black and other underrepresented minorities who are graduating,” Davis told OPB. “So you have to engage those communities, to provide them an opportunity, and show them that you are welcoming.” At the same time, Davis said Linfield has to be cautious about how it invests limited financial aid dollars on students. Davis said Linfield has had too high a “discount rate” – the amount that tuition and fees are reduced so that students will come to a college. Administrators point to two new approaches: financial aid specifically geared toward students who would be the first in their families to go to college; and a tuition cap for the top 5% of students enrolling at Linfield.

There are violent attacks that make news headlines around the world, but there are also quieter, more subtle forms of duress that burden Egyptian believers. Particularly in rural areas in northern Egypt, Christians have been chased from villages, and subject to mob violence and intense familial and community pressure. This is even more pronounced for Christians who are converts from Islam. In the face of huge economic, political, social and security challenges, the government of President el-Sisi seems to spare little regard for basic human rights and democratic pluralism. Thus, religious freedom for Christians is not fully guaranteed. Egyptian Christians are often victims of social exclusion, and face constant discrimination in areas such as justice, education and basic social services. In rural areas, Christian women have been targeted for abduction and forced marriage. Thousands of churches are still awaiting official recognition, and there were dozens of attacks on churches during the 2020 World Watch List (WWL) reporting period. And yet, even in the face of terrible violence, Christians in Egypt have shown incredible grace and forgiveness—Coptic Christians were even nominated for the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize for their refusal to retaliate. How Christians are suffering Those with Muslim backgrounds often face enormous pressure from immediate and extended families to renounce their faith and return to Islam. Severe restrictions on building or securing places for worship often prevent Christians from congregating, in addition to hostility and violence toward believers who do gather. Christians, especially women, face discrimination in their workplaces and public spaces. And in recent years, Islamic extremist groups have targeted Christians and churches both individually and en masse in numerous violent and deadly acts of persecution. Specifically, ISIS has publicly vowed to wage war on Christians. On November 2, 2018, Islamic militants opened fire on buses carrying Christian pilgrims in Minya Province, killing seven and wounding at least 19. During the WWL 2020 reporting period, at least 16 Christians were killed because of their faith or under suspicious circumstances, most of them in Upper Egypt. On November 23, 2019 Coptic activist Ramy Kamel was arrested because of his continued reporting on violence and discrimination against Christians in Egypt. He has been charged with “joining a terrorist organization” and “spreading false news.” In June 2019, Coptic Christians were attacked by a mob after one of the Christians had written an allegedly “blasphemous” Facebook post. The police arrested some of the Coptic men and imprisoned the one responsible for the Facebook post. Although the government continues with the legalization of churches under the Church Construction Law (2016), thousands of churches are still waiting to be formally recognized. Requests for official recognition are sometimes answered with mob violence and the closure of the church by the security services. At least five church buildings went up in flames, with Christians wondering whether this happened by coincidence. Population statistic: Johnson T M and Zurlo G A, eds., World Christian Database (Leiden/Boston: Brill, accessed April 2019). Number of Christians statistic is an Open Doors estimate. Pray for Egypt In a culture where the man of the house is seen as the protector and the source of dignity for the women, the absence of men makes women targets for Muslim extremists. Pray for Open Doors’ partners in Egypt who provide women’s ministry to these vulnerable women. Muslim extremists are using a new persecution tactic where they hack Christians’ Facebook accounts and post blasphemous content, then rally moderate Muslims to attack their neighbors. Pray for justice and protection for believers. Christians of all backgrounds face difficulties in building churches or finding a place for communal worship, coming both from state restrictions, as well as from communal hostility and mob violence. Pray believers are able to find fellowship. Christians, especially women, face discrimination and abuse in their places of work and when they go about their daily life in public spaces. Pray for their safety and protection.

__label__wiki	0.913094	0.913094	Home Commentary How the ACLU is fighting abortion bans in other states. And what... How the ACLU is fighting abortion bans in other states. And what that means for Pa. \| Friday Morning Coffee John L. Micek State Rep. Stephanie Borowicz, R-Clinton, speaks during a news conference in the state Capitol on Oct. 21, 2019 Good Friday Morning, Fellow Seekers. In a building practically filled to bursting with terrible ideas, few are so terrible as two emanating out of the Republican-controlled House of Representatives. This week, the House Health Committee advanced legislation mandating the burial or cremation of fetal remains. Abortion rights advocates say the bill would likely increase the cost of abortions, the Capital-Star’s Stephen Caruso reported this week. And barely 10 days ago, anti-abortion Republicans in the House and Senate announced legislation that would ban abortion as soon as doctors are able to detect a fetal heartbeat. That can happen at as early as six weeks, which is before most women even know they’re pregnant. Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf, a Democrat, has promised to veto any bill that reaches his desk. But abortion opponents have made it clear that they’re waiting out Wolf — who’s term-limited out of office in 2022. The bills are part of a systemic attack on abortion access nationwide. Opponents are organized, and encouraged by a conservative Supreme Court. But allies are highly motivated as well. (Patrick Feller/Flickr) Fresh off a court win in Alabama, where a federal judge blocked that state’s near-total ban on abortions, the American Civil Liberties Union is taking its fight into other states. And while it could be a while before a Pennsylvania ban is being litigated in court — if ever — the ACLU’s hard line on keeping the procedure legal in all 50 states should be some source of solace for abortion rights supporters. “Across the country, politicians have created a web of medically unnecessary, politically-motivated restrictions that push abortion care out of reach for many, but particularly for low-income people, young people, and people of color,” Alexa Kolbi-Molinas, of the ACLU’s Reproductive Freedom Project, wrote in a recent op-Ed. “Since 2011, state legislators across the country have passed 479 such restrictions, leaving increasingly vast areas of our country with few or no abortion providers at all.” Among those states was Pennsylvania, which tightened its rules in 2013 under Republican Gov. Tom Corbett. The law, passed in the wake of the Kermit Gosnell scandal, held abortion clinics to the same standards as outpatient surgery centers — even though the clinics effectively met such standards already. That assault on access has continued with unsuccessful pushes for mandatory ultrasound examinations under Corbett; a vetoed 20-week ban under Wolf, and a House-passed ban on abortions based on a diagnosis of Down syndrome in each of the last two, legislative sessions. As we (and others) have pointed out in the past, and as Kolbi-Molinas does in the ACLU’s op-Ed, anti-abortion lawmakers rarely show the same concern for child welfare outside the womb as they do when fetuses are still in the womb. “Instead of criminalizing health care, interfering with personal decisions, and substituting political agendas for the expertise of health care professionals, our politicians should be doing everything they can to ensure people can have healthy pregnancies and healthy deliveries, to ensure that people can raise their families in safe communities, without fear of violence, wanting for food or shelter, access to childcare, jobs, and education,” Kolbi-Molinas wrote. “That would be more than a victory—it would be justice.” But justice requires vigilance. And that’s where allies such as Kolbi-Molinas and others come in. “Despite strong public support for safe, supported abortion care, these politicians hope that the balance of the Supreme Court has turned against abortion rights with enough votes to aggressively and systematically dismantle abortion access,” Kolbi-Molinas wrote. “Not on our watch.” Our Stuff.

Dairy December 4, 2019 ROSEMONT, Ill. – Ten National Football League (NFL) players will vividly showcase their passion for the farmer-created Fuel Up to Play 60 program during games played on Dec. 8. The NFL’s “My Cause My Cleats” campaign allows players the opportunity to publicly highlight the causes that are most important to them through personalized designs and messages on their cleats. Ten players, including eight who serve as Fuel Up to Play 60 ambassadors, have chosen to feature their commitment to the program. Fuel Up to Play 60 was created 10 years ago by the dairy checkoff and NFL to improve health and wellness in schools across the country. “It’s great to see these players put their passion for Fuel Up to Play 60 and children’s health and wellness priorities on full display,” said Pennsylvania dairy farmer Marilyn Hershey, who serves as chair of Dairy Management Inc., which manages the national dairy checkoff. “NFL players and dairy farmers are very united in this cause and our 10-year partnership has delivered healthy change in kids’ lives across the country.” All 32 NFL teams are involved with Fuel Up to Play 60. Since the program’s inception, more than 2,000 player visits have taken place at schools involved in the program. “There is nothing more important to our country than dairy farmers … they contribute so much, and we are proud to partner with them,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in September. Players will display Fuel Up to Play 60 messaging and logos or Holstein-patterned prints on their cleats. They will share images of their cleats and information about their cause on their social media channels ahead of the games using the hashtag #mycausemycleats. The players and their respective Twitter and Instagram handles are: Justin Pugh, Arizona Cardinals (@JustinPugh/@justinpugh67) Nate Ebner, New England Patriots (@nateebner/@ebs43) Justin Simmons, Denver Broncos (@jsimms1119/@jsimms1119) Morgan Moses, Washington Redskins (IG: @morganmoses_76) Matt Breida, San Francisco 49ers (@MattBreida/@mbreida22) DJ Reader, Houston Texans (@djread98/@djread) Harrison Phillips, Buffalo Bills (@horribleharry99/@harrisonphillips99) Jerome Baker, Miami Dolphins (@lastname_baker/@lastname_baker) Mitchell Schwartz, Kansas City Chiefs (@mitchschwartz71/@mitchschwartz71) Dontrell Hilliard, Cleveland Browns (@D_Hilliard26/@d_hilliard26) The checkoff also will share information via its Twitter and Instagram properties @FUTP60 The NFL is producing television spots that will air during game broadcasts and highlight different players’ causes. The 49ers’ Breida will be included with a message on the importance of youth health and wellness. The spots also be shared across the NFL’s social media channels. Players will have the opportunity to raise money for their cause by auctioning their cleats off at https://nflauction.nfl.com/. One-hundred percent of money raised will be donated to the player’s charities. Since its creation, Fuel Up to Play 60 has awarded more than $48 million in grants that have improved school wellness. Many of these efforts have moved more dairy. Schools used grants to implement programs that improved breakfast participation, including providing access to smoothies, coffee and hot chocolate, plus grab-and-go opportunities that allow students to eat in the classroom. Since 2010, efforts such as these have led to an additional 1.2 billion pounds of milk use at schools. About Dairy Management Inc.

__label__cc	0.697852	0.302148	0409 898 959 Contact Menu Paris Neighbourhoods - Where to stay Categories: Accommodation, City Guide, Paris, Travel tips, Where to Stay Selecting the right neighborhood to stay in Paris is one of the most important elements of holiday planning as it will set the tone for your entire experience. Discover which Paris village is yours with our 'Petite' guide... Paris is divided into 20 districts known as 'Arrondissements’ (abbreviated as 'eme' i.e 1eme, 2eme, 3eme, 4eme ...) and is split in two by the Seine River. From the Seine/center the arrondissements count upwards from 1-20 in clockwise direction. Everything above the Seine is the Right Bank (arrondissements 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20); and everything south of the river is the smaller Left Bank (arrondissements 5, 6, 7, 13, 14 and 15) * Note: Even the neighborhoods furthest from the epicenter of Paris (such as 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th, 14th, 14th and 15th), are still only a maximum of 25mins metro to the center as Paris is a diverse but very compact city with efficient transport. And it pays to stay in less central/ tourist areas that are generally cheaper, more authentic, tranquil and have their own village cafes, brasseries, bars, restaurants, boutiques, museums, markets & more. Nevertheless each district has its own history, culture, attractions, atmosphere and way of life. So it’s a good idea to read about each district to decide which ‘feels like home’ to you! p.s All Petite B&Bs are within 5 min walk to the closest metro, so the center is never far from home.

The triangle d’or between the famous Champs Elysees and the Seine – a ritzy area home to the Grand Palais and Petite Palais with chic designer boutiques; the Champs Elysees itself (once a ritzy strip though now we strongly advise staying away from this street that is prone to hawkers, pick-pockets and over-run with teenage 'out of towners'); by contrast the Monceau in the northern part is one of Paris’ exclusive, rich and calm areas with ornate parks and secret gardens and small museums like Musee Jacquemart-Andre; and the east St-Lazare which becomes more ‘populaire’ with department stores and busy CBD stations of incoming and outgoing commuters. Here find the Arc de Triomphe, Avenue Mont aigne and Avenue George V with designer boutiques such as Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, and Chanel. While the 8th has less to offerhttps://www.petitebnbs.com/paris/bb-chantal tourists than other neighborhoods and is generally quiet after dark, if you stay bordering the 2nd, 9th or 17th it is a beautiful and convenient location to reach the rest of Paris' main sights.

The college prides itself on being a forward thinking and progressive place of learning. Brigidine appointed Fulton Trotter Architects to design a masterplan concept for the school so it can continue to provide state of the art facilities for its students. The master plan takes its inspiration from the school motto - fortiter et suaviter - 'Strength and Gentleness'. Part of this master plan is the new Performing Arts and Science Building, which displays this strong and gentle edge through its distinctive exterior. The choice of PGH Bricks product, including Balmerino Blend from the Dry Pressed Architectural range, and Chocolatto from the Alfresco range played an essential part in helping to communicate this design intent. The choice of this brick palette was inspired by the remnants of Duffy Forest, a prominent feature at the front of the college grounds. Strength and unity is conveyed to the outer edge of the site with a very rectilinear north elevation, voicing a sense of scale and using predominantly Chocolatto bricks. When walking around the College's grounds there is a feeling of serenity and peacefulness. This comes from the soft landscaping and gardens, a key feature of the College's architecture. It is in this landscaping that Balmerino Blend Dry Pressed Architectural bricks are used to reinforce the 'gentleness', with organically shaped brick walls forming planter beds around the outdoor spaces. These distinct feature walls also act as seating areas for social interaction. The entire project demonstrates the versatility and flexibility of quality brickwork to convey varying design characteristics. And, when combined with the quality of PGH bricks and skilled workmanship, achieves an outstanding result. Architect: Fulton Trotter Architects	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0051.json.gz/line2780
__label__cc	0.630928	0.369072	10 Questions for RemitData CFO Joel K. Wood By Nancy Weil Name: Joel K. Wood Time with company: 3.5 years Education: Bachelor of Industrial Engineering, Georgia Tech; MBA, Duke University Company headquarters: Founded in Memphis, Tennessee; headquarters in Plano, Texas Number of countries: 1 (U.S.) Number of employees total: 60 Number the CFO oversees: 18 About the company: RemitData provides reimbursement and utilization data and analysis software for the outpatient health-care provider market. The company website is http://www.remitdata.com 1. Where did you start in finance and what experiences led you to the job you have today? I started my career out of business school as a corporate banker in Atlanta with Wachovia Bank in the early '90s (prior to the First Union merger). In 1997, I left corporate banking to pursue a career in investment banking and ultimately was with three firms: Morgan Keegan & Company, Stephens Inc., and Dain Rauscher Wessels (now RBC Capital Markets). I moved into venture capital in 2002 and spent five years with Delta Capital Management in Memphis, Tennessee. Through Delta, I became aware of the opportunity with RemitData when the company was raising its initial round of Series A funding in the fall of 2007. I came on board as CFO in December 2007 at the time of the funding. 2. Who was an influential boss for you and what lessons did they teach you about management and leadership? Peter de Vos at Stephens Inc. and later with Dain Rauscher Wessels was a very influential boss for me. Peter was an extremely hard worker and pushed others to achieve excellence. He also was very loyal to his employees and most of us would have run through a wall for him. He embodied the concept of servant leadership -- empowering people to do their jobs. 3. What are the biggest challenges facing CFOs today? Forecasting in an uncertain environment -- unstable economic times, changing regulatory policies, structural changes in the capital markets (especially in venture capital) to name a few. 4. What is a good day at work like for you? Recognizing revenue from growth in new sales and channel partners and reporting the good news to our investors. I also enjoy solving operational and organizational issues along the way. 5. How would you characterize your management style? Hands off. I like to hire great people and let them do their jobs. I can get intrusive if I don't think people are doing their jobs with excellence; however, I prefer that people were self-motivated for excellence. 6. What strengths/qualities do you look for in job candidates? Drive, initiative, past history of striving for excellence, prior success at jobs or responsibilities, ability to communicate new ideas. 7. What are some of your favorite interview questions or techniques to elicit information to determine whether a candidate will be successful at your company? My favorite interview question is this: If I went back in time and bumped into one of your college friends and asked him or her to describe you in five words, what would they say? If the candidate can't communicate the five words very quickly, then they don't have much to offer. 8. What is it about your current job, at this particular company, that sets it apart from other chief finance positions? The CFO wears all kinds of hats in a VC-backed company, and RemitData is no different. I manage the finances, manage the client service group, advise the CEO on operational issues, and communicate with the Board. 9. What do you do to unwind from a hectic day?

Arthur Bryant, John May and the Peculiar Crimes Unit are on the trail of an enigma: a young man called Mr Fox. But his identity is false, his links to society are invisible and his home yields no clues. All they know is that somehow he escaped from a locked room and murdered one of their best and brightest. Now the detectives are being lured down into the darkest recesses of the London Underground where their quarry, expertly disguised, has struck again. Their search takes them into the vast labyrinth of tunnels, a subterranean world full of legends and ghost stations, which tie the city together. Edging closer to what lies hidden beneath the city - and to the madness that is driving a man to murder - Bryant and May are about to uncover a mystery as bizarre as anything they have ever encountered . . .

His patter, presentation, and social engagement, feel a bit contrived at times compared to the Ammar you may be familiar with these days. Nevertheless, there's much to be learned here as Michael has a nice assortment of magic effects to choose from that will keep one busy for a while. I generally buy DVD's with particular content that I'm interested in--not necessarily trying to learn everything. Its been said that if you purchase a book, DVD, etc. and manage to use only one or two routines, then you've gotten your money's worth. Lots of good things on Michaels DVD's--buy the best, learn the best, perform the best. Even back then, Michael was a consummate teacher. If you buy this series, I don't believe you'll be disappointed!	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0051.json.gz/line2788
__label__cc	0.729857	0.270143	An open letter from Pio Abad, the artist Rosalinda L. Orosa (The Philippine Star) - May 30, 2014 - 12:00am I normally keep to myself and I am hesitant to share this much in such a public forum. Having decided early on that a life in public service was not for me, I have pursued a decidedly more introspective path as an artist, and, although I grew up in a political household, I have always been ambivalent towards political rhetoric. However, after witnessing what my family has been through over the past few weeks and hearing the accusations that would be farcical if they werenâ€™t so malicious, I canâ€™t help but feel that it would be cowardly of me not to speak up. I left Manila in 2004 to study fine art in Scotland with my parentsâ€™ whole-hearted support. Any politician with an eye trained on sustaining a dynasty would clearly be foolish to let the first-born son even consider a life outside of politics, let alone a life in art, let alone conceptual art (although admittedly my father still introduces me as a painter even if I havenâ€™t actually held a paintbrush in a long time). My parents have never limited our options and have always taught us to pursue our passions. I had to work hard to pursue mine. Although my parents were generous enough to pay for my tuition fees, the high cost of living in the UK didnâ€™t allow them to pay for much else. It is interesting to note that, according to she-who-Iâ€™d-rather-not-name, the alleged mentoring scheme began in 2000. By those calculations, in 2004, my family should have been rolling in it. It is interesting then that the reality felt quite different. When my father was allegedly reaping the benefits of PDAF, I was flipping burgers in Burger King Queen Street Train Station. When the kickbacks from the BatanElCo project were supposedly setting me up for life, I was selling Subway sandwich coupons to people on the street and stacking books in the university library. Even now, having achieved relative recognition, my wife and I havenâ€™t stopped working hard. If we had had millions stashed away somewhere, I would now have a lot of explaining to do to my in-laws who fed and sheltered us while I was pursuing my Masterâ€™s. During the ten years I have been living away from the Philippines I have witnessed my parents go through numerous upheavals, often with the difficulty of witnessing it from miles away, unable to do anything about it beyond a comforting text or phone call. I wasnâ€™t there when my father resigned from Gloria Arroyoâ€™s cabinet but I can vividly remember the feeling of pride and fear. Pride for my fatherâ€™s courageous stand and fear over what vindictive act Gloria would commit to retaliate. If my father were benefiting so much from a rotten system, why would he stand up against it and give it all up? It is a sacrifice he has made again and again, a sacrifice he made when he was incarcerated with my mother and my sister during the Marcos dictatorship, a sacrifice he made when he resigned from the Department of Agrarian Reform amidst allegations of being a Communist, a sacrifice he made when he denounced the rampant corruption during Estradaâ€™s presidency. It is a sacrifice I am certain he and Nanay would be willing to make again and again for the sake of what is right. Itâ€™s often said that we Filipinos suffer from very short memories. While I refuse to succumb to that generalisation, it is an unfortunate fact that the Filipinos who suffer from the shortest of memories are the ones that are most vocal about it. As an artist, I take pride in the vitality of my imagination. It is what allows me to earn a living and it is what allows me to live a life worth living. But my imagination pales in comparison to my parents, who, even as they encounter numerous setbacks, still dare to imagine. They dare to imagine a country where justice can be served, even when those who have committed grave acts of injustice would rather burn the house down than admit defeat. They dare to imagine a country where hope and change is possible, even as those who revel in the comforts of cynicism insist on limiting those possibilities. â€”Pio Abad BURGER KING QUEEN STREET TRAIN STATION DEPARTMENT OF AGRARIAN REFORM EVEN FATHER GLORIA ARROYO LIFE NANAY PHILIPPINES I PIO ABAD WHILE I Sison and peace talks resumption “Playing hard to get.” This is what Communist Party of the Philippines founder Jose Maria Sison is acting right now on the issue of possible resumption of peace talks between the government and the ...

__label__wiki	0.621836	0.621836	CAE Oxford Aviation Academy introduces 35 training aircraft from Piper to its fleet Piper Aircraft, Inc. and CAE announced today the introduction of 35 Piper single-engine and twin-engine training airplanes to its CAE Oxford Aviation Academy fleet. The agreement includes firm orders for 22 single-engine Archer TX training airplanes and 13 twin-engine trainers, as well as parts and service. Deliveries will start this spring with 27 of the new aircraft going to CAE Oxford Aviation Academy in Phoenix, United States, and eight being sent later in the year to CAE Oxford Aviation Academy in Oxford, UK. This initial order for 35 aircraft is part of a five-year fleet replenishment initiative agreement between the two companies. Under the agreement, CAE has designated Piper as its Preferred Aircraft Provider. CAE’s long term needs include the possibility of additional orders to continue its efforts to modernize its CAE Oxford Aviation Academy fleet. “These Piper aircraft are equipped with multiple systems designed to enhance training and safety of flight, including flight data feedback systems and traffic awareness technology,” said Jeff Roberts, CAE Group President, Civil Simulation Products, Training and Services. “This addition of modern glass-cockpit aircraft is part of our goal to continue to make CAE Oxford Aviation Academy the highest-quality, safest network of cadet flight schools in the world. Once cadets complete their flight training at our academy, part of the world’s largest commercial pilot training network with long-term and joint venture relationships with airlines on every continent, they will be ready to fully realize their dream of becoming airline pilots.” “Piper is absolutely delighted that CAE Oxford Aviation Academy, a recognized world leader in civil aviation pilot training, has selected our company for its next large fleet procurement of learning aircraft,” said Piper President and CEO Simon Caldecott. “The dual country destination for this fleet order is a first for Piper’s recent fleet sales and CAE’s order is confirmation that Piper single and twin-engine aircraft provide the best value and most appropriate training platforms in the industry for today and tomorrow.” All of the aircraft will be equipped with Garmin G1000 avionics suites and Garmin Traffic Advisory Systems. The aircraft will have satellite enhanced dual antenna traffic awareness technology, enabling one-second updates for traffic situational awareness. The aircraft will also become the first ab initio aircraft in the world to be factory-equipped with CAE-designed flight data analysis and cockpit video recording systems. These systems record data, audio and video and are important new additions to CAE’s Safety Management System (SMS). The recorded information will be replayed through the CAE Flightscape Insight flight data analysis software. It will enable students to debrief immediately after a flight using flight animation with synchronized audio/video and will allow CAE to gather statistical trends for longer term safety and performance benefits. This initiative provides for more consistent high-level training with objective flight animations and metrics to enhance the overall learning experience.

Submitted by content on Fri, 08/25/2017 - 05:57 Stories of underdogs in football surpassing expectations used to be rare but these days are there still underdogs? The Euro 2004 team that represented Greece shocked the world and wrote their names in gold in the annals of history with the surprise title win. Where are the rest of the squad today? As at the last time goalkeeper AntoniosNikopolidis was regarded as the best keeper to feature for the national side. He was very impressive at the tournament in Portugal and made the All-Star list at the end of the event. He became the skipper of the team before he moved to football management after retirement. Defenders MichalisKapsis and TraianosDellas were strong at the back. While Kapsis retired into oblivion at EthinikosPireaus, Dellascontinued with the predictable move of venturing into coaching. He managed ASK Athensin the 2013/14 and 2014/15 seasons before SteliosManolas took over. Fullbacks GiourkasSeitaridis and TakisFyssas played key roles in the set-up in the run to the title. Seitaridis next played for Dynamo Moscow following the success. He also featured for Atletico Madrid and Panathinaikos before retirement. Fyssas played for Panathinaikos after the trophy win before proceeding to work with the Greek Football Federation post retirement. Skipper of the team and Player of the Tournament Theo Zagorakiswas a cult figure at Leicester City but he moved to PAOK before retiring. He ventured into politics thereafter. Midfielder AngelosBasinas moved to Real Mallorca after the tournament and also featured for Portsmouth and French side AC Arles-Avignon. He is retired now. Stelios Giannakopoulos retired back in 2009 at AE Larissa following his time at Bolton Wanderers. He was coach of Paniliakos for a short time but is involved in football politics at last check. KostaKatsouranisplayed for the national side until 36 years but later retired. He has strong followership in Greece. While Katsouranis played mainly domestic football, striker AngelosCharisteas played at Ajax, Feyenoord, Bayer Leverkusen, Schalke and Al-Nassar before retiring. His strike partner ZisisVryzas left Fiorentina after Euro 2004 to play for Torino, Skoda Xanthi and PAOK before hanging his boots.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0051.json.gz/line2796

By Eric Litke on Thursday, May 23rd, 2019 at 11:02 a.m. Sara Meaney, Wisconsin's tourism secretary, says the state has 15,000 lakes -- "More than Minnesota." (Michael Sears/Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) Wisconsin and Minnesota have no shortage of regional squabbles. Packers vs. Vikings. Badgers vs. Gophers. Soda vs. pop (it’s soda). Better cold tolerance? Nicer people? More lakes? New state Tourism Secretary Sara Meaney stuck her toe into the lake dispute May 9, 2019 during an appearance on "Wisconsin’s Afternoon News" on WTMJ radio. "Wisconsin, many people may not be aware, actually has 15,000 freshwater lakes," she said. "More than Minnesota?" asked host John Mercure. "More than Minnesota," said Meaney. "Absolutely. We win. We win." Minnesota is the "Land of 10,000 Lakes," as the state’s license plates declare. But Wisconsin isn’t exactly a desert. As residents of both states head for the nearest body of water in droves this Memorial Day weekend, we thought we would, well, dive into this one. Who has more lakes? Not an easy question Our quest begins with the simplest version of this question. Hey Wisconsin, how many lakes do you have? 15,074, says the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Hey Minnesota, how many lakes do YOU have? 11,842, says the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Congratulations, Wisconsin, you win? Nope. It's not nearly that simple. What makes a lake? Let's start by figuring out what a lake is. Does a lake have to have a name? Be a certain size? What if it’s actually a flowage? (And what the heck is a flowage?) What about intermittent lakes, that come and go by season (as opposed to year-round lakes)? Minnesota defines a lake as a body of water greater than 10 acres. That’s how it got the 11,482 number in its Public Waters Inventory. Wisconsin defines a lake as, well, anything it feels like calling a lake. Thousands are less than 10 acres. Of the 15,074 "documented lakes" in the state, 60% don’t even have a name. If we use Wisconsin’s lake database and apply the same 10-acre standard as Minnesota, Wisconsin has only 5,898 lakes. But the two state databases have different criteria for inclusion so this alone doesn’t settle our debate. Peter Boulay, a climatologist with the Minnesota DNR, said different agencies use different definitions of lake for their own purposes, but there is no nationally accepted definition. He deferred to Paul S. Welch, a University of Michigan professor who in 1935 literally wrote the book on limnology — the study of lakes and other bodies of fresh water. Welch wrote that generally accepted definitions of lake describe "a body of standing water completely isolated from the sea and having an area of open, relatively deep water sufficiently large to produce somewhere on its periphery a barren, wave-swept shore." But he pointed out unique lake shapes and makeup create problems for this definition and chose instead to define lakes by exclusion. Welch said ponds are "very small, very shallow bodies of standing water in which quiet water and extensive occupancy by higher aquatic plants are common." Anything larger, he said, is a lake. Meanwhile, the U.S. Geological Survey doesn’t officially define lakes. Its National Hydrography Dataset merges lakes and ponds into a single category. And the agency notes at least 54 generic terms have characteristics similar to a lake. Examples include a basin, a pond, a reservoir and a flowage (water accumulated upstream from a dam). Choosing a consistent definition Meaney’s office wasn’t much help on the definition issue. When we reached out seeking backup for the claim, spokesman Craig Trost shared this via email: "Three facts are undeniable: 1. Minnesota boasts more than 10,000 lakes. 2. Wisconsin boasts more than 15,000 lakes. 3. 15,000 is larger than 10,000." Of course, that just puts us back where we began. Still, our pursuit is not hopeless. We just need to use the same measuring stick for each side. We turned to Stephen Aichele, a geographer with the U.S. Geological Survey. He used the National Hydrography Dataset — which combines all inland water bodies into a lake/pond category — to compare Wisconsin and Minnesota bodies of water using various thresholds. And, in Aichele’s words, "each variant of the question comes up the same way." Based on the federal data: — Minnesota has 124,662 lake/pond features, while Wisconsin has 82,099. — Minnesota has 8,784 lake/pond features with a name, while Wisconsin has 5,481. — Minnesota has 14,444 lake/pond features of 10 acres or more, while Wisconsin has 6,176. For context, 10 acres is about seven-and-a-half football fields (including end zones). That’s also the cutoff Minnesota uses to define lakes. Using a 25-acre cut off, Minnesota also has more than twice as many lakes — 8,466 to 3,350. The lake measures that Wisconsin wins Fear not, Wisconsin readers. Our research did uncover a couple lake metrics where Minnesota is lacking. Deepest lake: The deepest natural lake in either state is Green Lake in central Wisconsin, with a maximum depth of 236 feet. That’s 27 feet deeper than Minnesota’s deepest entry, Ten Mile Lake. (Wisconsin’s Wazee Lake in Jackson County is a whopping 350 feet at its deepest, but it’s a manmade lake made from an abandoned iron mine.) Surface area: Wisconsin also dominates in the percentage of surface area covered by lakes, with 17% compared to 8% for Minnesota. Of course, that tally is dramatically skewed by the inclusion of Lake Michigan on the Wisconsin side of the ledger, which vastly outstrips the small corner of Lake Superior claimed by Minnesota. Removing the Great Lakes from the equation, Minnesota has 5.4% of its surface area covered by lakes compared to 2.7% for Wisconsin. Minnesota also has the largest lake, with Red Lake (288,000 acres) easily topping Wisconsin’s Lake Winnebago (137,708). Meaney claimed Wisconsin boasts more than 15,000 lakes — "more than Minnesota." But those numbers use vastly different definitions of "lake," with thousands counting toward the tally in Wisconsin that wouldn’t meet the definition in Minnesota. If both states used Minnesota’s 10-acre minimum standard — or really any other reasonable metric — Minnesota has about twice as many lakes. We rate Meaney’s statement False. But we’ll still give the tourism department’s spokesman the last word here: "At the end of the day," Trost said, "we are happy to let Minnesota count their lakes and their Super Bowl championships, and we’ll count our own."

__label__wiki	0.835527	0.835527	Thursday's 5 things from the Masters: Tiger starts strong; DeChambeau, Koepka emerge By Tim Schmitt/GateHouse Media Apr 11, 2019 at 10:39 AM Apr 11, 2019 at 7:02 PM AUGUSTA, Ga. — So, you strapped in yet? As if the 2019 Masters needed any help getting golf fans fired up, a guy named Tiger Woods placed his name atop the leaderboard for much of the afternoon. He was later surpassed by heavyweights like Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, and then Bryson DeChambeau, who nearly holed out on No. 18 with an amazing shot that hit the stick and then nestled inches from the cup. And this was just opening day. Here's a look at the leaderboard, and here are five things you need to know about the Masters from Thursday: 1. TIGER STARTED STRONG Sure he's shown flashes, but on Thursday at Augusta National it sure looked like the old Tiger Woods was back. Woods posted back-to-back birdies on Nos. 13 and 14 to jump into a tie for the lead. He dropped a shot on No. 17 but still finished with an impressive 70. Despite swirling winds, Woods told reporter Brian Mull for this piece at Augusta.com that he was pleased with his control. “It kind of swirls out there and it’s hard to get a bead on exactly what it’s doing at all times,” Woods said. “With as hot as it was the ball was flying a long way and you had to take advantage of it. I played well today and controlled my golf ball today.” Woods previously told longtime Augusta Chronicle golf writer David Westin in this article penned prior to the event that he was feeling like he could make a run. “I’m right there where I need to be,” Woods said. “I’ve gotten a little bit more consistent with my play, and I think that everything is headed on track towards April.” Here's a look at Woods' round in photos. 2. DeCHAMBEAU, KOEPKA GOT IT GOING After watching Tiger and others go struggle with the breeze, Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau had little trouble with the afternoon conditions as they each used big back nines to climb to the top of the leaderboard. DeChambeau's final iron of the day was scintillating — the native Californian hit the stick on No. 18 and watched his ball finally come to rest a few inches from the cup. He putted out for a fourth straight birdie, finishing the day at 6-under par. Koepka, meanwhile, had birdies on five six holes after making the turn and also finished with an opening round 66. As for playing well in a major, that's becoming old hat for Koepka, who has won three majors in the last two years. "I enjoy the big stage," he said. "I enjoy major championships. I just get a good feeling; I don't know how to explain it." 3. HARDING HAD NO TROUBLE FITTING IN You'd think Justin Harding might be a bit intimidated, making his first appearance at Augusta National and all. Instead, the South African saw his name near or at the top of the leaderboard for much of Thursday afternoon. Harding told David Westin for this story at Augusta.com that a long stretch of solid play has set a positive tone. “Golf is purely momentum based,” Harding said. “If you take enough confidence into the rounds then you’re bound to play well. Just pretty much need to get out of your own way.” Harding finished with five birdies on the day, including one on the opening hole courtesy of an impressive 10-foot putt. “That one going in gave me a boost and calmed me down,” he said. 4. RORY HAUNTED BY THE SIMPLE THINGS After fine-tuning his game in weeks prior to the Masters, many assumed Rory McIlroy would roar out of the gates on Thursday. Instead, Rory knocked his first shot of the day into the trees, and struggled to an uneven 73. Even more frustrating, Will Cheney wrote in this story for Augusta.com, was the fact that the course was there for the taking. “I mean, I felt the course was there. It’s soft. There’s not much wind,” he said. “I made five birdies, that wasn’t the problem. I just made too many mistakes and that was the problem. And I’m making mistakes from pretty simple positions, just off the side of the green, 17 and 18 being prime examples of that." 5. JACK AND GARY ARE STILL ELECTRIC The opening day at the Masters brings one of the greatest moments in sports — the Honorary Starter ceremony. This year's event didn't disappoint. For the second consecutive year, Gary Player outdrove Jack Nicklaus — and the masses loved every minute. CBS commentator Jim Nantz told reporter Doug Stutsman for this article at Augusta.com that he nearly missed the moment due to traffic. Nantz said the moment just keeps getting bigger and bigger. “I’ve never seen this many folks,” Nantz said. “It’s tremendous. Maybe chalk it up to our reduced field and the (opening ceremony) being about a half-hour later than other years. We’ve had this as early as 7:40 a.m. but this time was 30 minutes past that. That extra half-hour allowed a lot more people to be here.” Here's a link to a photo gallery from folks spotted on the course.

Yet, the complex skills involved in the art and science of diagnosing have only been the focus of investigation for less than a decade. While the process of diagnosing is common to all fields of medicine, this article specifically addresses missed “medical” diagnoses in patients who present to or are being followed by psychiatrists and other mental health clinicians. It is hoped that by learning about vulnerabilities within the diagnostic process, readers will have the opportunities to reduce diagnostic error rates in their own practices and institutions. Diagnostic errors and delays are so widespread that most individuals will experience a diagnostic error during their lifetime.1 And surely, every physician has had the experience of missing a diagnosis or coming to the correct diagnosis only after too long a delay. Memories of missed opportunities for earlier intervention weigh heavily upon us. Related content: What Is the Correct Diagnostic Formulation In Neuropsychiatric Practice? Recent studies have found that any individual with a “psychiatric history” or with “presenting symptoms in the sphere of mental functioning and behavior” is especially prone to experiencing a diagnostic error.2 This should alert all psychiatrists, since these are the very patients we are called upon to see. Rare diseases might be misdiagnosed, but, more often, common diseases are missed, especially if they present atypically. In 2015, an Institute of Medicine report—Improving Diagnosis in Healthcare—concluded that, “. . . improving the diagnostic process is not only possible, but presents a moral, professional, and public health imperative.”1 The diagnostic process How do doctors make a diagnosis? As you read the following vignette of a referral, try to be aware of your diagnostic hypotheses. CASE VIGNETTE: Psychosomatic Concerns According to his primary care physician (PCP) who referred him, Mr O has a long history of psychosomatic complaints. Mr O is a 63-year-old accountant who recently retired. He’s been sleeping restlessly and waking up depressed each morning. He jogs a few miles a day, most days, but says that lately he’s been feeling stiff and somewhat unsteady on his feet. Also, he says he’s “plagued by” constipation. The patient told the PCP that he can’t tell whether these physical problems are “all in my head” or whether there’s really something to worry about.

Many residents of the valley said they were billed for the use of services by telecom companies while they were not provided services. Obaid Nabi, a Kashmir resident, said that mobile phone and internet services have not been working in Kashmir since August 5, but Airtel has still been given a bill of Rs 779. I can't understand why the bill is being sent. Mohammad Omar, who uses a BSNL connection, said his monthly mobile bill used to come in at around Rs 380, but he was surprised to see the bill being shut down while the services were closed. He said that for the last month, I have been sent a bill of Rs. 470. Surprisingly, the phone services have not been working for the last one and a half months. Many consumers said they were expecting their fees for this period to be waived due to the closure of communication services, as was done after the 2016 protests in Kashmir and the floods in 2014. Emails sent in this series have not been answered by Indian Airtel. Vodafone and Reliance Jio have also not responded.

The vehicle also struck the bank's walk-up ATM on the east side of the building off Shasta Dam Boulevard.(Photo: Mike Chapman/Record Searchlight)Buy Photo Deputies said they were called at 11:15 a.m. to Tri Counties Bank on Shasta Dam Boulevard after receiving reports that a vehicle had struck the building. As they were heading toward the bank, deputies said, they learned a pedestrian had also been struck, Medical personnel took the woman to Mercy Medical Center in Redding, but she later died as a result of the collision, deputies said. She is not being publicly identified until her family has been notified, deputies said. Deputies said the driver, Deborah Beaupre, 58, of Redding, was apparently attempting to park her vehicle in a parking space when she accidentally accelerated. She struck the walk-up ATM on the east side of the bank, deputies said, adding drugs or alcohol do not appear to be a factor in the collision. The collision did cause damage to the east side of the bank, which remains open. Customers are asked to use the entrance on the west side of the building. The parking lot on the east side of the building remains closed. Deputies, with the assistance of the California Highway Patrol, are still conducting the investigation. Witnesses who saw the collision are asked to call the Sheriff's Office at 245-6540.

__label__wiki	0.511446	0.511446	Chipotle Announces Industry-Leading Mental Health And Financial Wellness Benefits For All Employees Newport Beach, CA (RestaurantNews.com) Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) will be providing access to mental healthcare and financial wellness for more than 80,000 employees in 2020 through Employee Assistance Programs and enhanced benefits offerings. This is just one of the many ways that Chipotle continues to enable its workforce by offering world-class benefits. By simplifying access to mental health benefits and identifying work-related risk factors, Chipotle is trying to minimize the effect of mental health in the workplace. All Chipotle associates and their family members will have the opportunity to receive personalized assistance from healthcare experts before, during and following medical needs through a partnership with Health Advocate, regardless of whether they are enrolled in the company’s medical plan. Mental health and emotional support will also be extended to all employees and their family members through in-person, phone or virtual visits with a licensed counselor to support personal, professional, mental, financial and/or legal concerns. Chipotle offers its employees a seamless, digital experience with easy access to providers and care. “This is just the beginning of how we’re strategically investing in the well-being of our employees and their families,” said Marissa Andrada, Chipotle’s Chief People Officer. “Our vision for people is to create a culture where employees can thrive and pursue their passion and by extending access to all levels and enriching our Employee Assistance Program, we are ensuring that our employees can build mental fitness and bring their best selves to work every day.” Additional enhancements to Chipotle’s 2020 suite of benefits available to all include: Cultivate Me portal (UPoint): A dynamic benefits site that will bring the entire Chipotle healthcare ecosystem to employees’ mobile phones Healthcare plans: Enhanced hourly PPO plan for eligible crew in addition to the Preventative Plus plan Financial Wellness: Access to Ayco’s financial counseling platform, including an assessment, checklist and accompanying education to assist with financial planning Fitness Centers: Access to national gyms with discounted pricing Communicating and encouraging use of these new programs can make a real impact when it comes to managing mental illness in the workplace. According to a study by PwC, money causes the most stress in the lives of almost 60 percent of people. Chipotle recognized this when it introduced both debt-free degrees and a new crew bonus program this year, which allows its restaurant teams the opportunity to earn up to an extra month’s pay each year; in order to do so, pre-determined sales, as well as cashflow and throughput goals must be achieved quarterly. The bonus (calculated as an individual’s average weekly pay per quarter), valued at more than $1 million last quarter, was achieved by 135 restaurants and 3,100 employees. Chipotle Crew members also receive a number of other compelling benefits, including a debt-free degree or tuition reimbursement up to $5,250 per year, free English as a second language and GED classes for employees and family members, as well as available dental, vision and medical insurance. About Chipotle Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE: CMG) is cultivating a better world by serving responsibly sourced, classically-cooked, real food with wholesome ingredients without artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. Chipotle had over 2,500 restaurants as of September 30, 2019, in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France and Germany and is the only restaurant company of its size that owns and operates all its restaurants.

__label__wiki	0.980142	0.980142	Premier Narrowly Leads Ukrainian Presidential Race November 01, 2004 10:57 GMT A Yanukovych bllboard (file photo) 1 November 2004 -- Ukrainian election officials said today Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych led the presidential vote by a single percentage point. The Central Election Commission said that after ballots from 94 percent of the precincts were counted from yesterday's vote, the main challenger, opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko, had 39.14 percent against Yanukovych's 40.14 percent. Yanukovych started the count with a commanding 67 percent advantage, but subsequent updates showed him consistently falling and Yushchenko rising. The commission said turnout was around 75 percent. Yanukovych, the pro-Russian candidate backed by Ukraine's ruling bloc, and the Western-leaning Yushchenko are now expected to face off in a second-round vote on 21 November. Yushchenko's campaign said today its parallel count showed him ahead of Yanukovych about 46 percent-33 percent, with two-thirds of the precincts tallied. Mykola Tomenko, a Yushchenko ally, said the opposition would "protect its rights" if Yanukovych won a fraudulent vote and announced possible "rallies, strikes, and demonstrations."

Milorad Momic was detained close to Grenoble under an international arrest warrant issued by Serbia for crimes against humanity. Momic was allegedly part of a unit involved in the murder of nearly 8,000 Muslim men and boys. The authorities in Grenoble told the AFP news agency that Momic appeared before the public prosecutor today with a view toward his eventual extradition to Serbia. Belgrade said it would apply for the extradition in the coming days.

__label__wiki	0.614983	0.614983	You Must Buy This Jeep Wrangler "Landrunner," A Baby Wannabe Hummer Yes, there was a time when people wanted the Jeep Wrangler to look like something other than a Jeep Wrangler. By Bob Sorokanich We've spent most of today talking about Jeep Wranglers. Particularly the new one, the fully-redesigned 2018 JL-generation model that just debuted at the LA International Auto Show. Of course, this means we've also been talking about Jeep design, both current and past. You can deduce most of the history of Jeep design by looking at the various generations of CJ and Wrangler. Charitably, not a lot has happened—every open-topped Jeep has had a tapered hood, separate front fenders, pop-off doors and a fold-down windshield. Like the Porsche 911, the Wrangler's design has evolved, but it's never undergone a massive change. But in an alternate universe, it very much could have. Clap your eyes on a 2000 Jeep Wrangler Sport that's been fitted with a "Landrunner" body kit. Designed and manufactured in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the Landrunner kit took advantage of the Hummer mania that gripped our nation in those days. This kit slapped huge, boxy fender flares onto the rather narrow body of a stock TJ-generation Wrangler (1997-2006), providing room for a much wider wheel and tire package. The styling, as you've no doubt deduced, was meant to mimic a Hummer H1. That's not accidental: The original Humvee was commissioned by the US military as a replacement for the long-serving Jeep. The two vehicles had round headlights and vertical-slat grilles; they even used the same universal-fit taillights. So the Landrunner wasn't really so much of a stretch—unless you count the way it stretched the Wrangler's lateral dimensions. It replaced the Jeep's traditional hood and grille with a flip-forward clamshell unit and tacked on boxy rear flares that wouldn't look out of place on a 1980s rally car. You don't see too many Landrunner-equipped Wranglers around today. The kit was rare when new; today, the styling of the TJ-generation Jeep Wrangler is beloved. But it's not impossible to find one of these half-Jeep, half-Hummer hodgepodges every now and again. This example comes from Indianapolis and is listed on Craigslist asking just under $10,000. For a clean, seemingly rust-free and well-kept stick-shift Wrangler, that's somewhat steep money. But if you want a little Hummer in your garage, you must buy it.

Schroepfer Robert A. Correia Richard Hechter Lauren Schrader Samuel H. Dilley John Arnold Jenna Bergman Allison Mrakovich Best Breweries in Minneapolis Breweries in Minneapolis aren’t hard to find. But is it overkill, of course not. I don’t think there is such a thing when it comes to locally brewed beer. They all manage to bring a unique line of products that keep the locals coming back for more. The best part is that for the most part they all seem to support each other, and the result is a city full of delicious hand-crafted beer. Now there are plenty in the Twin Cities area, but this is our list just for Minneapolis. Bauhaus Brew Labs Opened in the spring of 2014, the Minneapolis beer sanctuary is known for its German lagers and incredible taproom. Located in the northeast Minneapolis area, Bauhaus has quickly become one of the top dogs in the local beer space. Not only do they have great beer, they are simply one of the best hangouts in all of Minneapolis. There headquarters are tucked away in a quiet space, away from the hustle and noise of any highways. They have live music, food trucks, and a patio equipped with lawn games and a separate dog patio with water for our four legged friends. Looking for a happy hour spot, local craft beer, or just a relaxed night? This Minneapolis favorite is perfect for you. 612Brew Four years after its grand-opening in 2013, 612Brew has become a local favorite and helps put Minneapolis on the map as a serious Brewery city. It should be noted that back in 2013, 612Brew was part of the wave of taprooms and breweries opening in the Twin Cities. As a leader in the Minneapolis beer scene, they continue to grow and expand with an expansive list of special and seasonal brews, there is something for all beer lovers here. Indeed Brewing Company and Taproom This place never fails for a good brew if you find yourself in Downtown Minneapolis. Indeed Brewing is known for their extremely wide array of beers that they offer at their local taproom. It is also good to note that they offer a great tour of their brewing operations, which can add to your experience and connection to the local brew. Fulton Brewing Company We Couldn’t make a list without including this place. They were the first full taproom in Minneapolis back in 2012 and since then they have grown so much that they opened a secondary location in northeast Minneapolis. Their first location a stone’s throw away from target field in Minneapolis, this makes it the spot for a beer before a baseball game. Fulton often gets overlooked today simply because they have been around for so long compared the new craft-beer breweries popping up all over the Twin Cities and Metro area. They have grown so much as a brand, expanding their retail reach to a national level has made them a household name. But it always important to remember them as they started out in our very own Minneapolis, where they continue to operate their business in two different locations. This is just the tip of the iceberg, there are so many beer companies in this areas, big and small. So get out there and enjoy all of the breweries and taprooms that Minneapolis is host to, and try to find your favorite.

__label__cc	0.680761	0.319239	Finally, a Shoe Company Has Made a Nude Heel for Every Skin Tone By: Nina Biagini credit: Caryce Porter Like the best entrepreneurs, Caryce Porter's business – Nude Sole – began with a problem. She needed shoes for her sister's wedding. A nude shoe would have been perfect, and so Porter set out to find one to match her skin tone. A part of her knew it would be a fruitless search – as a woman of color she had been down this road before – but she was determined. "This is a frustration I've had as a woman of color for most of my life – not even just with shoes," she explained, describing what it was like as a young girl and wearing makeup for the first time, or rather trying to find an affordable foundation appropriate for a high schooler that also matched her skin tone. "It's changed lately…but they didn't carry makeup that was dark enough for me…It was a frustration I grew up with and it was my normal. It was kind of normal. It was like 'No one makes these products for me.'" Fortunately, Porter grew up in a household where, though it might have been normal at the mall or drugstore, it was not normal or okay with her mother. "(She) was this advocate…My mom would go out of her way to buy black barbie dolls because they weren't carried in all stores…She was always shooting off letters at Mattel. So my mom always told me, 'You need to see reflections of yourself. It may not be there but write a letter or do something,'" Porter related. She added, "So it was normal, but I knew it was not okay," when it came to her skin color – or any woman of color – and a lack of representation in the marketplace at large. We feel that skin tone clothing should be a staple in every woman’s closet. Nude Sole is a shoe brand for the every day woman at an affordable price. Nude Sole’s mission is to further bring diversity and inclusion to the fashion industry. We promise to represent all women, of all backgrounds, and complexions in our product offerings and even in our advertising. Get on the preorder list at www.nudesoles.com Posted by Nude Sole on Sunday, February 19, 2017 In that way, the seed for Nude Sole was sown very early. Part of it was growing up in a household where it was not uncommon to see her mother writing letters to companies to demand more representation of women of color – for her daughter – and part of it was that Porter loves shoes. After all, most of us know that not only does a nude go with everything (saving us space in our closets and suitcases) but they are flattering AF because they make one's legs longer. Porter wanted that for herself and she wanted it for all women in her position. Finally, as a bridesmaid, she got mad and thought, "You know what? In that moment of me just going off, I was like you have been frustrated with this. I am a shoe girl. I've been complaining about it forever. I've been saying "I wish I had" forever. And that was the moment when I was like, okay. Make it happen." And she did. Nude Sole was born. A year ago, she set out to create a line of nude heels for women of color, calling her business Nude Sole. In the past year, Porter has taken on every role in her business - from financing to design to marketing. She started with Google and read book after book, even reaching out to some of the authors. She sought out local resources for women business owners to help with legalities – from becoming incorporated to getting a trademark. She has the go-getter personality typical of an entrepreneur, but her ideas are anything but typical. Her heels are cruelty-free and her business is environmentally friendly. Less than two weeks ago, Porter shared a Facebook post of prototypes going into production. She just wanted to let friends and family know what was going on. But then the post went viral and the interest was incredible – showing how desperately Nude Sole was needed. Now just a year after she began, she is taking pre-orders and will be selling her shoes in the spring. Thousands of women have already pre-ordered and Porter is looking at warehouses and fulfillment centers. She currently offers four shades but as the brand grows, she has plans to expand, explaining, "I want this to be an option for all women of all ethnicities and all nationalities." "One year ago, I made the decision to turn my frustration into a positive and make a solution," Porter stated enthusiastically. This is her passion, her drive, everything. Her optimism and passion drive her. So Porter did what she does best: She stepped up (and in her new nude heels no less).

__label__cc	0.536795	0.463205	Historical Comps for Tajae Sharpe’s Rookie Season Charles Kleinheksel How does Tajae Sharpe’s rookie season compare to other recent rookies, and how do those comps inform our expectations going forward? If you’ve been around RotoViz for any length of time, you know we like making range of outcome-based projections. And we’ve got a fantastic Screener to facilitate that. My goal is to set some expectations for the 2016 rookie wide receivers. To do that, I set the Screener to find rookies from 2010 – 2016, and selected some basic production and usage numbers as variables. I also included draft pick. The influence of draft pick on a player’s opportunity declines over time, but it’s still relevant heading into a player’s second season. Then I asked the Screener to find seasons comparable to my target player.1 Up first, Tajae Sharpe. The Comps For a fifth-round pick, those are decent per-game comps. Ace Sanders had promise before suspensions ended his career. Brandon LaFell has posted double-digit per-game PPR totals in three of seven seasons. Jeremy Kerley has had situational utility, averaging over nine points per game in three of six seasons. Jamison Crowder averaged over 12 points per game in his sophomore season. Davante Adams has improved each season, averaging over 15 points per game in 2016. As second-year players, this group averaged about eight points per game, and for their subsequent careers have averaged just under 10 points per game. That suggests Sharpe could have long term utility, but may not be likely to be a difference maker. I think it’s helpful to remember that Sharpe won a starting job out of training camp, and made Dorial Green-Beckham expendable. Another item to note is that, since 2010, among all rookies drafted after pick 110 (or undrafted), Sharpe (17 percent) is tied for the third-highest target market share. The others? Stefon Diggs (19 percent), Allen Hurns (18 percent), and Doug Baldwin (17 percent). That’s good company, and he’s also connected to one of the better young QBs in the game. His overall involvement, given his draft pedigree, is encouraging. Sharpe did well to get a significant role as a rookie. But neither his draft status nor his rookie performance lend him great job security. His season-long trend is also discouraging, and paints the picture of a player falling out of favor. Kendall Wright is gone, and Harry Douglas might as well be. That frees up about 60 targets, so there’s a chance for an increased workload. On the other hand, any sort of significant acquisition in either free agency or the draft would torpedo Sharpe’s fantasy value. Our recent free agency mock, for example, sent Eric Decker to the Titans. Odds are against that specific transaction happening of course, but I think you could go quite far down the list of free agent WRs before you were sure Sharpe would keep his starting gig. In deeper dynasty leagues I think Sharpe is worth holding. As of now he’s the Titans WR2, and he’s probably out-performed his draft-level expectations. A Jamison Crowder-like sophomore season is possible if no competition is brought in. On the flip side, if he flames out, there’s not much harm done. The app provides 20 comparables, but I’m limiting myself to the top five. I’m also excluding fellow 2016 rookies from the comps.

__label__cc	0.749955	0.250045	Science LinXScience Linx News News overview 2020 Hot electrons harvested without tricks Simple Science Summary The efficiency of solar panels is hampered by a ‘Goldilocks problem’: the light needs to have just the right amount of energy to be converted into a voltage. Too little energy and the photons (packages of light energy) pass right through the panel. Too much and the excess energy disappears as heat. Several tricks have been tried to harvest the high-energy photons. Scientists from the University of Groningen and Nanyang Technological University have now shown that by combining two materials, the excess energy is used rather than wasted as heat. This can potentially increase the energy efficiency of solar panels. Semiconductors convert energy from photons (light) into an electron current. However, some photons carry too much energy for the material to absorb. These photons produce ‘hot electrons’, and the excess energy of these electrons is converted into heat. Materials scientists have been looking for ways to harvest this excess energy. Scientists from the University of Groningen and Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) have now shown that this may be easier than expected by combining a perovskite with an acceptor material for ‘hot electrons’. Their proof of principle was published in Science Advances on 15 November. In photovoltaic cells, semiconductors will absorb photon energy, but only from photons that have the right amount of energy: too little and the photons pass right through the material, too much and the excess energy is lost as heat. The right amount is determined by the band gap: the difference in energy levels between the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO). Maxim Pshenichnikov \| Photo University of Groningen ‘The excess energy of hot electrons, produced by the high-energy photons, is very rapidly absorbed by the material as heat,’ explains Maxim Pshenichnikov, Professor of Ultrafast Spectroscopy at the University of Groningen. To fully capture the energy of hot electrons, materials with a larger band gap must be used. However, this means that the hot electrons should be transported to this material before losing their energy. The current general approach to harvesting these electrons is to slow down the loss of energy, for example by using nanoparticles instead of bulk material. ‘In these nanoparticles, there are fewer options for the electrons to release the excess energy as heat,’ explains Pshenichnikov. Pump-push Together with colleagues from the Nanyang Technological University, where he was a visiting professor for the past three years, Pshenichnikov studied a system in which an organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite semiconductor was combined with the organic compound bathophenanthroline (bphen), a material with a large band gap. The scientists used laser light to excite electrons in the perovskite and studied the behaviour of the hot electrons that were generated. ‘We used a method called pump-push probing to excite electrons in two steps and study them at femtosecond timescales,’ explains Pshenichnikov. This allowed the scientists to produce electrons in the perovskites with energy levels just above the band gap of bphen, without exciting electrons in the bphen. Therefore, any hot electrons in this material would have come from the perovskite. Set-up for ultrafast spectroscopy \| Photo Maxim Pshenichnikov, University of Groningen The results showed that hot electrons from the perovskite semiconductor were readily absorbed by the bphen. ‘This happened without the need to slow down these electrons and, moreover, in bulk material. So, without any tricks, the hot electrons were harvested.’ However, the scientists noticed that the energy required was slightly higher than the bphen band gap. ‘This was unexpected. Apparently, some extra energy is needed to overcome a barrier at the interface between the two materials.’ Nevertheless, the study provides a proof of principle for the harvesting of hot electrons in bulk perovskite semiconductor material. Pshenichnikov: ‘The experiments were performed with a realistic amount of energy, comparable to visible light. The next challenge is to construct a real device using this combination of materials.’ Reference: Swee Sien Lim, David Giovanni, Qiannan Zhang, Ankur Solanki, Nur Fadilah Jamaludin, Jia Wei Melvin Lim, Nripan Mathews, Subodh Mhaisalkar, Maxim S.

Erik Stone, Noh’s Alameda-based coach, said she already has played at least one event on the Korean LPGA Tour and another on the Cactus Tour in Arizona. Noh tied for eighth in the tournament in Litchfield Park, Ariz., Feb. 4-6. She delayed this week’s announcement until she finalized her endorsement contracts. “She’s ready,” Stone said Wednesday. “She’s on her way. It was the right decision for her.” By turning professional, Noh relinquished her exemptions to play as an amateur in the ANA Inspiration, Augusta National Women’s Amateur, U.S. Women’s Open and Evian Masters. She still can try to qualify for the Open as a pro. Noh, 17, plans to play additional events on the Korean LPGA Tour, Stone said, and hopes to land sponsor exemptions on the U.S.-based LPGA Tour. One obvious possibility: the Mediheal Championship at Lake Merced, May 2-5. Concord’s Yealimi Noh, who won three national tournaments in July, hits shots on the practice range at Corica Park in Alameda. Video: SFChronicle Noh burst into prominence last summer, when she enjoyed a staggering run of success. In three consecutive weeks in July, she won three national tournaments: the Junior PGA in Kentucky, the U.S. Girls Junior at Poppy Hills and the Canadian Women’s Amateur in Vancouver. Then, in September, she helped the U.S. win the Junior Ryder Cup in Paris. Noh soared into the top 20 in the world amateur rankings. Even before those victories, Noh withdrew her commitment to UCLA and decided to turn pro. Now it’s official, even though she doesn’t have status on the LPGA Tour. In a September interview with The Chronicle, she said she would seek LPGA sponsor exemptions, enter Monday qualifying events and gain experience playing on mini-tours. “It’s so exciting,” she said then. “I’m ready. I just can’t wait to be on tour. Who knows if I win one (in 2019) after Monday qualifying? Brooke Henderson did that. It’s possible. I’m just excited to see what comes next.” Noh has endorsement deals with Hana Financial Group and Descente clothing, according to her Instagram post.

Photo: Charlie Riedel, AP There is, you have to admit, a sort of savage grace, a tragic and terrible beauty, to the BP oil spill. Like any good apocalyptic vision of self-wrought hell, the greatest environmental disaster in U.S. history has its inherent poetry. You see that creeping ooze of black, that ungodly wall of unstoppable darkness as it slowly, inexorably invades the relatively healthy, pristine waters adjacent, and you can't help but appreciate the brutal majesty, the fantastic, reeking horror of this new manifestation of black death we have brought upon ourselves, as it spreads like a fast cancer into the liquid womb of Mother Nature herself. Really, it's not just the incredible photographs of the spill that are, in turns, heartbreaking, stunning, otherworldly and downright Satanic in their abject revulsion. It's not just the statistics that tell us how many millions of gallons might ultimately be spilled, or the stunned scientists who can only hypothesize how this unprecedented catastrophe might affect the fragile food chain and distress the ocean's ecosystems at the very root level. It's not even the endless, heartrending tales of livelihoods lost, industries destroyed, coastlines ravaged or wildlife killed. The fact is, any one of these aspects alone is enough to poison your soul for as long as you wish to wallow in that murky state of fatalism and doom. It is nothing but bleak. I think the most disturbingly satisfying thrill of this entire event -- and it is, in a way, a perverse thrill -- comes from understanding, at a very core level, our shared responsibility, our co-creation of the foul demon currently unleashed. What a thing we have created. What an extraordinary horror our rapacious need for cheap, endless energy hath unleashed; it's a monster of a scale and proportion we can barely even fathom. Because if you're honest, no matter where you stand, no matter your politics, religion, income or mode of transport, you see this beast of creeping death and you understand: That is us. The spill may be many things, but more than anything else it is a giant, horrifying mirror. Do you wish to try and deflect it? Lay responsibility elsewhere? Really? We can't quite blame an "act of God," as we would for some sort of hurricane or tsunami inflicted upon meager humankind by an angry deity, punishing us all for being too war-like, violent or perhaps naïve enough to want to enjoy the sunshine for five goddamn minutes before He decided He'd better kill some people lest we forget who's in charge. We cannot blame evil terrorists, some cluster of swarthy foreigners who hate our shopping malls and secretly envy our Porsche Cayenne's. Nor can we blame the spill on some sort of nefarious conspiracy, a secret act wrought by devious agents in black helicopters designed to destabilize the U.N. and induce universal mind control -- unless, of course, you're getting a little desperate and don't get outside much, in which case, you absolutely can. Finally (and a bit shockingly), I'm not hearing Pat Robertson or any of his cretinous cult of apocalypticans blame the gays, or voodoo, or anal sex, or reality TV for what's happening in the Gulf. Oil is, after all, completely non-denominational. It mocks all religions equally -- except, of course, the only one that really matters: capitalism. This is how you know this is one of the more universally damning disasters of our time: No one really seems to know how to process it, much less react. The GOP is backpeddling like terrified hyenas from Sarah "Queen of Duh" Palin's "drill baby, drill" mantra/ass tattoo, as suddenly the incessant Republican wail for more oil exploration, more drilling, more tax cuts for oil conglomerates don't just reek of the usual inbred cronyism; they reek of death and destruction the likes of which the country has never seen. On the other hand, hardcore lefties are going mad with desire that the disaster will lead to the immediate imprisonment of every BP employee worldwide, as if BP is somehow any different than any other oil titan raping the planet right now (hi, Alberta's oilsands). Hardcore lefties would also appreciate it if Obama would use the disaster as a surefire excuse to instantly change the entire course of energy history by immediately shutting down all 48,000 oil wells in the Gulf and hand every American a bicycle and a solar panel. See? All better. Sure. As if oil wasn't woven like oxygen into every single aspect of American life, as if fully 30 percent of domestic transportation fuel didn't come from the gulf, as if shutting down a fraction of those wells wouldn't re-devastate the economy, as if petroleum and coal weren't powering the very energy plants that deliver the electricity that charges the iPhones that allows everyone to Tweet their angry complaints through all the various energy-sucking server farms the size of a small country. Truly, BP is behaving no better or worse than any other corporate spawn of Satan would in a similar situation. What's more, if you don't think every oil company on earth is right now kneeling before Beelzebub in gratitude that it wasn't one of their own wells that exploded, you haven't been paying attention. That said, after all is said and done, it's gloomily nice to think our darkest disaster in a generation could somehow ultimately improve our attitudes, change our behavior, lighten our violent treatment of the planet. As someone recently noted, the BP spill isn't Obama's Katrina, it's actually Big Oil's Chernobyl. Meaning: a disaster so appalling and devastating it might very well alter the industry and change the course of our energy policy forever. Is it possible? Or, more accurately, are we even capable of such a shift? Is there any silver lining to be found in that black and greasy gloom? This is, perhaps, the most imperative question of all: If we can produce a demon of such extraordinary scale and devastation, can we not also somehow create its exact opposite? Let us pray.

Written by the Ming Dynasty novelist Wu Cheng’en during the 16th century, this beloved adventure tale combines action, humor, and spiritual lessons. The novel takes place in the seventh century. It tells the story of one of Buddha Sakyamuni’s disciples who was banished from the heavenly paradise for the crime of slighting the Buddha Law. He was sent to the human world and forced to spend ten lifetimes practicing religious self-cultivation in order to atone for his sins. In his tenth lifetime, now during the Tang Dynasty, he reincarnates as a monk named Xuan Zang (also known as Tang Monk and Tripitaka). The emperor wishes this monk can travel west and bring holy Mahayana Buddhist scriptures back to China. After being inspired by a vision from the Bodhisattva Guanyin, the monk accepts the mission and sets off on the sacred quest. Tang Monk and His Three Disciples But Tang Monk is ill-equipped for such perilous travel on his own. Weak and timid, he is no match for the evil creatures seeking to kill and eat him (his flesh, after all, is said to impart immortality). And so the goddess Guanyin arranges for an eclectic group to become his disciples and protect him: the valiant but impetuous Monkey King (also known as Sun Wukong), the lustful Pigsy, the taciturn Sand Monk, and the White Dragon Horse. All had been banished to the human world for sins in the heavens. Out of mercy, Guanyin gives them one more chance to return to their celestial home: They can convert to Buddhism and protect the monk Tang on his pilgrimage. And indeed, on the journey they encounter one trial after another—a total of 81, to be precise. Through force or deception, a motley of demons and evil spirits come after the monk. Some try to tempt the band with wealth or beauty. Yet, in the end, the pious pilgrims triumph, they return to China with sacred scriptures, and return to their rightful places in the heavens. Journey to the West is known for its colorful characters, especially the Monkey King and Pigsy. The Monkey King was born out of a rock, and learned supernormal powers from a Taoist master. With the combination of his mischievous nature and great powers, he created chaos both in heaven and the underworld. The heavenly Jade Emperor tried to calm him down by granting him the title of “Great Sage of Heaven,” but Monkey could not control himself and caused uproar in the heavenly palace. Finally, the Buddha, still far more powerful, subdued the rascally Monkey and trapped him under a mountain. There he remained trapped for 500 years, until one day Tang Monk passed by the mountain. This was the moment the Monkey King had been waiting for. He vowed to devote himself to the monk’s service on the journey and was finally freed. The Monkey King proved a critical asset to the monk. He could see right through the demons and their witchcraft, and was not tempted by beauty or riches. His wit helped the monk escape many a perilous situation. And although he proved unruly at times, for his great accomplishments he was later awarded the title of “Buddha Victorious in Strife.” Pigsy had likewise once been a deity—a heavenly admiral, in fact. But after getting drunk and making inappropriate moves toward the beautiful Chang’e, he was sent down to the human world as a man pig. Pigsy was known for being lazy and gluttonous, and worst of all, licentious. Even after ten years of spiritual self-cultivation on his pilgrimage, Pigsy was still unwilling to let go of these desires, and so, upon completing the mission, he was only given the lowly title of “heavenly altar messenger.” Indeed in this novel so rich in symbolism, the tribulations the travelers face are metaphors for the trials one must pass on a spiritual journey.

__label__cc	0.653377	0.346623	SEO Tip of the Day Treat SEO like a game and have fun OK, so it’s not really an SEO Tip again, I seem to have this habit lately of sitting down to write my Daily SEO Tip but instead drifting of in to general waffle. Tonights SEO Tip waffle is about how much better and easier SEO becomes if you have the mindset to just treat it like a game of whits between you and the Google Guys. I read a great article yesterday by Sujan Patel called 100 Lessons Learned from 10 Years of SEO As someone who has also been doing SEO for 10+ years I emphasised with what he wrote, found myself agreeing with virtually everything except one piece that stuck in my mind, “You can’t outsmart Google – Google hires some of the top scientists, engineers and PhDs in the world every year. The odds of some “sneaky trick” you’ve found on an SEO blog outsmarting this brain trust aren’t very good.” OK I agree with the bit about finding some sneaky trick on an SEO blog, but for me the satisfaction of running test after test after test and finding those little things that can give you that slight advantage in SEO is what keeps me interested. Sujan rightly says “Google hires some of the top scientists, engineers and PhDs in the world every year” But when I’m playing chess I don’t want to play the mid ranking guys in the chess club I want to play the Masters, they may beat me 99.9% of the time but I’m learning all the time and one day I will find that sequence of moves that gets me the win. SEO is the same, to me it is as much a game now as it was back in 2003 2004 when I was doing the SEO competitions and part of that game is keeping up with the algorithm changes and plying your whits against the Google guys. That may come across as a load of bollocks and people will say you shouldn’t be trying to outsmart Google but instead should be working with it, all very true, to a degree, but where’s the fun in that?

__label__wiki	0.920683	0.920683	3 Killed in Suspected Al-Shabab Attack on Kenya Bus byadmin January 2, 2020 General Kenyan security forces on Thursday launched a manhunt in coastal Lamu County after suspected militants attacked a bus. Lamu County Commissioner Irungu Macharia confirmed the fatalities and said three others injured in the attack were transferred to nearby health facilities. Speaking to VOA, Macharia said police have yet to establish the identity of the attackers. “There was that attack on the road, they attacked a bus along Malindi Lamu road, they fired at the bus and we lost three lives,” he said. “That one you cannot verify until they claim responsibility, but as far as we know, they could be bandits or anybody else. They could also be those terror groups but we cannot say for sure who they were.” He said the bus that was attacked was accompanied by two other passenger buses, and had a police escort, hence the quick response by the security personnel. “There was a bus that was ahead that was fired at, then they stopped two others, but the one that they shot at was the one that was leading the rest,” Macharia said. “Then our officers came because the buses had escort, so when the officers responded to the distress, the attackers run away, but we are searching for them in the forest.” Macharia says the attackers numbered about 10. Al-Shabab has claimed responsibility for previous attacks on vehicles traveling between Lamu and Mombasa. Most cars and buses using the road now travel with a security escort, which is a government requirement. Macharia says the government is in pursuit of Thursday’s attackers. “We have an operation in the forest trying to see if we can get them, but at least operations on the road have returned to normal,” he said. “We have escorted the buses and traffic is flowing.” Somalia-based al-Shabab has carried numerous attacks in Kenya over the past decade. The group says it is retaliating for Kenya contributing troops to the African peacekeeping force AMISOM in Somalia.

Four other Illini also signed free-agent deals. Illinois middle linebacker J Leman didn't find a home during the NFL draft Sunday, but it took only moments after the seventh and final round to sign a free-agent contract with the Minnesota Vikings. Off-season ankle surgery kept him from running during the NFL combine in February, when Leman had hoped to answer questions about his speed. The league backed off during the draft, making for a long day as Leman watched the draft with his family and fiancee, Katy Pratapas, before Minnesota made its offer. "I'm biased towards myself,'' said Leman, a second-team All-America. "It was a little frustrating. You want to go (in the draft). People are taken that aren't as good as you, in my opinion.'' The Cleveland Browns and New Orleans Saints also showed interest, but Leman will head to Minneapolis on Thursday for mini-camp. Minnesota was also the only team that invited Leman for a visit before the draft. Minnesota coach Brad Childress, defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier and director of college scouting Scott Studwell all have ties to Illinois. Childress and Frazier worked here as assistants. Studwell joined Leman on the list of the top 10 linebackers in school history. The Vikings didn't draft a linebacker, and Leman is the only linebacker they will sign as a free agent, he said. Leman is completely recovered from the bruised ankle bone, an injury suffered in the Rose Bowl. "I feel good,'' Leman said. "All I need is a chance. I'll prove myself once I get there.'' Running back Rashard Mendenhall, who went on the No. 23 pick in the first round to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday, was the only Illinois player drafted this weekend. Four other Illini signed free-agent deals. Safety Justin Harrison and placekicker Jason Reda signed with the Cleveland Browns while defensive tackle Chris Norwell went with the New England Patriots and safety Kevin Mitchell accepted an offer from the Washington Redskins. "You always hope for everything that you dream of, seeing your name go across the screen,'' Harrison said. "At the same time, you have to be acceptable to new ideas. A lot of free agents make teams and have a lot of success.'' Reda learned of the offer while driving back from his brother's place in Iowa City, where he watched the draft. "They told me I'd get an opportunity to compete for the job, and they're very excited,'' said Reda, whose media boycott (for superstitious reasons) is apparently over. Norwell will be moved to defensive end in New England's 3-4 scheme, he said. "It makes it a little better that you go with a team like that with that success,'' Norwell said.

__label__wiki	0.509795	0.509795	The Mon Gold Property consists of 11 contiguous mining leases and three mineral claims, covering 1,536.92 acres, located about 45 kilometres north of Yellowknife. Personnel, food and materials are provided through the combination of float or ski-equipped aircraft and helicopter from the City of Yellowknife, about 15 minutes flying time south. A winter road provides access for fuel and other heavy or bulky materials from Yellowknife via the Bluefish Hydro-Electric Dam, 20 km south of the Property. The project leases and claims are held by New Discovery Mines Ltd. (NDM). Sixty North Gold Mining Ltd. has an option to earn an 80% interest in the Mon Gold Project, subject to a 20% carried interest and a 2% net smelter returns royalty by spending $6m on the project to the end of 2020. NDM is the Manager of the Project and Sixty North Gold is the Operator under the Restated Minerals Property Earn-In Agreement between the parties. NDM obtained Land Use Permit MV2015C0015 and Water Licence MV2015L2-004 to restart the mine at 100 tpd. The permits allow all listed exploration and development work including the installation of camp and related infrastructure, mine shops and related mine infrastructure to allow for diamond drilling and underground development and mining. In addition, these permit NDM to install and operate a 100 tpd gravity plus flotation mill, related infrastructure, roads and tailings containment facility on a limited total volume of material moved basis before renewal of the permit is required. A high-grade quartz vein was discovered in 1937 by prospectors working for Cominco Limited during an aerial reconnaissance flight north of Yellowknife. In 1988 the Property was optioned by Cominco to David R. Webb. Between 1991 and 1997 the mine was in operation on a summer only basis, with a total reported production of 3,100 ounces of gold from 10,000 tons of ore for a calculated recovered grade of 10.63 gpt for royalty purposes. In total, it is estimated that 15,000 ounces of gold were recovered from 15,000 tonnes of ore contained in 15 m of elevation from the west limb (West Stope) and 15 m of elevation from 15 to 20 m of strike-length on the east limb (East Stope). Since the Mon Mine closure in 1997, due to gold prices falling below US$300 per ounce to a low of $US287/ounce, no surface exploration or mining was done at the Mon Gold Property until October, 2016. These are historical results and are only reported for completeness, and this information cannot be verified and should not be relied upon. The Mon deposit is an Archean, turbidite-hosted, stratabound, non-stratiform quartz shear/vein deposit and as such has substantial potential. The deposit is described as an anticlinally-folded quartz vein, plunging to the south at around 20 to 40 degrees. The higher gold grades at the fold nose are consistent over the mined length of 75 meters (open to south), with lower grade gold values being found in the limbs of the structure. Fundamentally, the production records show that the previous operators were able to successfully follow the interpreted mineralized structure and obtain gold grades that are representative of the sampling done. The Mon Gold Property is underlain by igneous rocks assigned to the Kam and Banting Group, and clastic sedimentary rocks assigned to the Burwash Group. Early mafic and felsic igneous rocks intrude all rocks, and late felsic intrusions occur to the west of the property. All rocks have been metamorphosed to, between, greenschist and amphibolite facies. Recent Work Programs Sixty North Gold and NDM conducted a 5-hole, 378.9 m drilling campaign in 2016 that confirmed mineralization below the mined-out stopes on the A-Zone. All drill holes intersected the A-Zone at target depths. Verification continuous chip samples (2016) at the mouth of the central adit (crown pillar) in the former-producing A-Zone averaged grades of 147g/t of gold over 3 m (see NI 43-101 report Dupre and Fitzpatrick, 2017). No mineral resource nor mineral reserve estimations have been completed by Sixty North Gold Mining Ltd. A surface prospecting program was carried out in 2017 on other areas of the property away from the former-producing A-Zone. Recommended Program from Technical Report a surface prospecting and sampling program to confirm and qualify old showings that have not been reviewed in several decades, as well as identify new showings. a >1000 tonne bulk sample be collected from the A-Zone from several locations along the vein. The large sample of the vein by sub-drifting will allow for a most definitive assessment of grade, width, and continuity which is critical in high-grade vein deposits.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0051.json.gz/line2926

(Image: © Rocket Lab) Rocket Lab's quest to test out reusable rocket features will need to wait a little longer. The California-based company announced today (Nov. 29) that it needs to hold off on its planned launch attempt for now to do more testing. "We're standing down from today's launch attempt to conduct further tests on ground systems," Rocket Lab said in a tweet. "We'll update with a new target launch date soon. The window remains open until 12 December." The company's two-stage Electron booster was supposed to send seven satellites into Earth orbit from New Zealand today at 3:20 a.m. EST (9:20 p.m. local time; 0820 GMT). Also on board the rocket is a Japanese spacecraft that is expected to create artificial meteor showers. However, for now the payloads are simply on hold for a future launch date in December. Related: Space Launch Calendar 2019: Sky Events, Missions & More Launch update: We're standing down from today's launch attempt to conduct further tests on ground systems. We'll update with a new target launch date soon. The window remains open until 12 December. 🚀November 29, 2019 Reusability will also play a big role in this mission as Rocket Lab aims for lower launch costs in the future. Electron will include sensors to record its telemetry (flight information) to help Rocket Lab snatch the rocket out of mid-air in future missions, using a helicopter. SpaceX and Blue Origin are two other rocket companies that use reusable rockets, by bringing down their boosters for a vertical touchdown (with the help of engines that slow their descent). Electron, which is a smaller rocket designed to send smaller satellites into space, cannot do the same thing without extensive modifications, Rocket Lab CEO Peter Beck has said. The company spends about 70% of its money and time on every Electron build working on the rocket's first stage, so if Rocket Lab can make those reusable it will allow the company to push out Electrons much faster, Beck told Space.com in September. The upcoming launch will be Rocket Lab's 10th mission, which the company nicknames "Running Out of Fingers."

By Stand in the Gap May 24, 2019 September 17th, 2019 No Comments THIS IS PART TWO OF JACQUELYN'S STORY. FOR PART ONE, CLICK HERE. Jacquelyn says, Life is like a puzzle We used to do puzzles all the time and put the paste on them and put them on the wall in the garage. But there’s nothing more frustrating than having this big puzzle and one piece is missing. I felt like that was my life. It wasn’t perfect. It wasn’t whole because I had a piece missing. My precious Ralph was gone. I couldn’t fill that hole. Half of you is gone. That’s just the way it is. What’s it like to be a widow? Hear it from Jacquelyn AFTER RALPH'S DEATH, JACQUELYN SPENT FIVE YEARS TEACHING IN CHINA When I had come home to stay, I was sitting at my dining room table looking out. The backyard was beautiful, it had this big picture window. But it just hit me — I’m a widow. I hate that word. But that’s what we are called in the bible too; it’s a good word. I thought, ‘I don’t want to be a widow, but that’s what I am. I am by myself.’ After all that time, that’s when it finally really hit me. ”I don’t want to be a widow, but that’s what I am. I am by myself. My father died when I was 16. I compare my widowhood with my mother’s. Mother was so stoic and a wonderful Christian lady. She had so much faith, but to show emotion, to break down, or talk about Daddo… we didn’t do that a whole lot. I realized how much she must have grieved when she was by herself, when I had gone off to school or whatever. How terribly hard that mush have been for her! She kept up this facade all the time.

__label__wiki	0.905165	0.905165	Just a pretty face Maria Sharapova seems to be a cutie when it comes to business. She may not be doing quite so well on the tennis court these days, but she has amassed wealth estimated at some $90 million and is the world's most highly paid sportswoman. This is in large measure a result of her eight-year deal with Nike, which should earn her at least $70 million. Her sports clothing range is achieving buoyant sales, even in the downturn, and the shoes that bear her name (and sell at $150 a pair) have been hailed by fashionistas as the perfect ballet pump. Not entirely surprising, then, to see her on the front page of the Telegraph's business section then? Well yes, actually. There she was, all grit and determination, under the headline Disadvantage Sony Reforms to cost 10,000 jobs. Excuse me? Has Sharapova lost her job? Perhaps the caption might be more enlightening? Sony, the electronics giant and sponsor of the Sony Ericsson Open in Florida, has suffered falling sales. Full story, B2 Sharapova isn't identified and even the word tennis doesn't appear, so a business reader with limited interest in sport wouldn't have the faintest idea what this was all about. In fact, the photograph appears to have been taken during the final in Miami the previous week - a match that Sharapova lost to Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland. None of this is mentioned in the front page or in the fuller story inside - a story, by the way, that describes Sony as a retailer and then goes on to explain that most of the job cuts will fall on the chemical unit. Of course, every retailer has a chemical unit. The iPad edition was even more enigmatic: its business front carried the same photograph under the heading Disadvantage Sony There was no caption, so even the tenuous link of the tennis tournament was lost. The story a few pages on made no mention of tennis, but focused on the straight news - and was accompanied by a photograph of the chief executive in front of a presentation screen. Illustrating business stories is difficult if you don't want your pages to be filled with a succession of middle-aged white men in suits, so designers and chief subs are always on the lookout for an imaginative alternative. The preference across Fleet Street is to use pictures of women wherever possible on all news pages. Men like looking at pictures of women; women like looking at pictures of women. Fair enough. But surely there must be some rationale behind the choice of illustration - and the least a chief sub can do is to let the reader into the secret by identifying the person in the photograph and explaining what she has to do with the story. This was an extreme example, but the Telegraph is beginning to resemble the Sunday Express of the John Junor era, where pages were randomly illustrated with pictures of pretty women for no reason other than that they were pretty women. The Telegraph has its favourites: the Duchess of Cambridge is clearly at the top of the list, closely followed by the Queen, Samantha Cameron, Michelle Dockery, Kate Winslet and Helen Mirren. Liz Hurley, who was top of the charts when the Times was going through its Johnny Wilkinson phase, has fallen out of favour. Do readers really want to see these same faces day after day? It might be understandable if they were doing something unusual or the image was in some way remarkable. But they are largely simply standing and staring at the camera. And why this fixation with stand-alone pictures that are frequently incongruous with the serious stories surrounding them? What is wrong with having photographs or graphics that have some bearing on the real news being reported on the page? Stand-alone pictures have become such a staple of the Telegraph formula that a formal style has been established for captions. There is either a little box in a corner of the photograph that allows a couple of pars of copy or an 18pt head that sits along two lines of caption. In each case a pun kicker is required and this is set in blue. Sometimes the blue heading is followed by another in black as on page 3 yesterday American dream Acting ambitions In this case, there were four pars of copy about some Olivier-nominated actors who had given interviews to the Radio Times - which was credited in the story and with a cover photograph. This is another feature of this picture policy: most are blatant puffs with no news value at all. Listed below are a series of headings and captions taken from photographs published in the paper over the past two weeks. Every one is given in full and with the published punctuation and capitalisation.

Dockery, 30, posed in bed with the actresses Julianna Margulies, Claire Danes and Sofia Vergara. The magazine called Downton "a sophisticated sensation".

But this barely scratches the surface and almost entirely ignores the obsession with the Royal Family. During this fortnight, we had pictures of the Queen and the Duke going to Waltham Forest and having a disagreement over whether they had been there before; Kate increasing the sales of hockey kit; Charles playing basketball (in the same issue); Camilla visiting Liverpool and remembering that teenagers used to scream at the Beatles; Zara playing with her nephew; the Queen visiting the BBC Salford studios and doing stuff for Sport Relief; William and Kate not going to a memorial service for the Queen Mother - followed the next day by a line-up of all the royals who did attend. It goes on and on....and don't get me started on the Camerons. And all this before we even begin to examine the picture choices and caption writing outside of this stand-alone format - a three-column shot of Helen Mirren in that bikini to illustrate a story about a row over her Italian villa, for example. And, to my mind the worst of the lot, a double-column picture of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in Manchester United shirts alongside a story headlined I'm no longer haunted by last photo of murdered girls, says Holly's father It is nearly ten years since the girls were killed by Ian Huntley and Kevin Wells gave an interview to announce that he would be running the marathon to raise funds for the Grief Encounter bereavement charity of which he is patron. He told the charity's newsletter that he didn't want to talk about what life had been like the past ten years, but said that he now imagined his daughter as a woman of 21 and not the girl in the famous photograph. "That photo no longer impacts on me," he said. Maybe not, but I still feel it was crass to use it as the main photograph. A newspaper's use of pictures defines it almost as strongly as its splashes and its columnists. And caption writing is one of the supreme arts of the sub-editor. The Telegraph is strong on wildlife, often picking up photographs that are under-displayed by rival papers. But this sub-glamour PR handout approach demeans it as a quality broadsheet , and the banality of the captions compounds the problem. OK, in some of these instances there is barely room to say anything, in which case it is the sub's job to approach the page designer or chief sub or night editor and ask for an extra line or three. None of these pictures would suffer from a little being shaved top or bottom. But even where there is enough space to make something of the job, there is no apparent enthusiasm. An actress adopts a child and says "I always knew I wanted a family." Well, wowwee, what an unusual woman; move the story to the front. And that five-par Vanity Fair puff. This magazine has its finger on the pulse. Those four actresses didn't fall into bed together by accident: they are the real TV stars of the era. Juliana Margulies was watched by an average audience of 10 million in her ER days, in the Good Wife she draws 12 million; Sofia Vergera's performance in Modern Family picks up a regular audience of 14 million; Downton averaged 10 million at its peak. Claire Danes may not be reaching quite those figures with her stunning performance in Homeland, but she has been nominated for a hatful of awards - and the programme has been endorsed by President Obama. Perhaps some of that could have made its way into print? But no, we get this vapid comment from Dockery about being recognised in a tea shop. God save us. Maybe it's too much to ask subs to use their imagination in the face of such pappy subject matter. But surely they shouldn't be so disenchanted by the material that they can't be bothered even with the basics - such as identifying the woman in the picture on the front page.

The Sheridan Hills Christian graduate and her husband, Jimmy, both world-class grand prix show jumpers, have a home and large training base in Fort Lauderdale. They live in Wellington during WEF, which begins at 8 a.m. today at the remodeled Palm Beach International Equestrian Center. The first week's event is the Gold Coast Feed Classic, highlighted by the $30,000 WEF Challenge Cup on Thursday and the $50,000 Speed Derby and Six Bar on Sunday. Three stadium speed classes and several other hunter and jumper events in the outer rings are scheduled for the first of 12 weeks of competition at the largest and longest-running horse show in the world, which ends March 29. The yearlong, $10 million facelift of the Equestrian Center was designed to create a permanent home for WEF, which begins its 30th year. Mark Bellissimo, chief executive of Equestrian Sports Productions, which manages the horse shows, listened to input from several riders, including the Toranos. He made several changes in all 14 show rings, including installing Olympic-quality surfaces for improved footing. Danielle Torano, 34, is coming off an outstanding 2008 season, her best since she won 2001 AGA Rookie of the Year honors. Although she sold her Nations' Cup mount, 11-year-old Dutch warmblood Marlo, to U.S. teammate Hillary Dobbs of West Palm Beach in June, Torano has several top horses to open the Palm Beach season with, including her prized possession Vancouver D'Auvrey. WEF has been a family affair for several years for the Toranos, who have been married for 14 years and have a toddler, Natalia, nearly 2, already riding a pony. "I like the family environment and being able to stay at the house," Danielle said. Torano made her U.S. Equestrian team debut last year. She rode Vancouver D'Auvrey at the 2008 World Cup final in Sweden and was a member of the winning U.S. team at the Nations' Cup in Wellington. She also posted wins in Vermont and Kentucky. She has gotten over the disappointment of not making the 2008 Olympic team, calling it a learning experience. After a strong start at the U.S. Olympic Trials, Torano faltered after letting her emotions get the best of her. "I let it get to me," Torano said. "It was my first trials and I was very nervous and excited. I got myself pretty worked up for the class. The horse was perfect. I felt like I let him down. I learned a big lesson. I know I have to have a totally different mindset. I have to be calm and cool." INFORMATIONAL BOX: Riders to watch MARGIE ENGLE, Wellington: The FIU alum is one of the most popular riders on the circuit. She finished the 2008 circuit with the Rolex/USEF National Show Jumping Championship 10 years after winning the title for the first time. KENT FARRINGTON, Wellington: With his prized horse Up Chiqui, he captured his eighth major win of 2008 at the $60,000 Holiday and Horses FEI World Cup qualifier Grand Prix last month. LAURA KRAUT, Wellington: The three-time Olympian won a gold medal with teammates Will Simpson, Beezie Madden and McLain Ward, also of Wellington, at the Beijing Games. ERIC LAMAZE, Wellington: The Canadian ended his 2008 season by winning the $283,000 Rolex World Cup Grand Prix in Geneva with his champion horse Hickstead. It ended a career-best season that included an Olympic gold medal in individual show jumping, silver in the team event and victory at the World Grand Prix in Toronto. TODD MINIKUS, Wellington and Loxahatchee: The former bull rider and 2000 Olympic alternate was a member of the U.S. Nations' Cup team and winner of 15 Grand Prix titles last season. JESSICA SPRINGSTEEN, Wellington: The teenage daughter of Bruce Springsteen and rising star on the junior circuit was named best child rider and junior hunter grand champion at the Syracuse Invitational and National Horse Show and won the prestigious ASPCA Maclay Championships as the best junior.

Girls basketball: Jupiter stops Coconut Creek cold Gary Curreri, Sun Sentinel Correspondent COCONUT CREEK – Visiting Jupiter held Coconut Creek to one basket in the second half as it broke open a tight game and pulled away with a 40-28 victory in the regional semifinal basketball game on Tuesday night. Tavia Johnson, who paced the Cougars (21-4) with 11 points, hit a 3-pointer with 5:37 remaining to cut the lead to 31-25, however Jupiter (25-5) went into a spread offense and whittled more than four minutes off the clock and the Cougars could get no closer. The Warriors were cold from 3-point territory early on as it missed its first nine attempts. Jupiter started going inside to Megan Pino and was successful as she hit three baskets in the first period. Pino led a balanced attack with 11 points as Jupiter won for the 16th consecutive game. Coconut Creek trailed 12-8 before it battled back to tie at 13-13 on a basket by Johnson, however Jupiter started to find its range from long distance as it hit three of its first five 3-pointers in the second quarter to open a 24-15 lead. Kaitlyn Larkin and Katie Rienas each hit two from 3-point territory. Larkin finished with nine points, a team-leading 7 rebounds and three assists. "We hit a few 3-pointers and once we got a comfortable lead we spread the floor out," said Jupiter coach Mike Lynch, whose team will face South Broward in the regional final on Saturday. "We have four guards so that's what we have to do. Kaitlyn is the smallest kid on the court at 5-foot-2 and she grabbed seven rebounds. That's just heart and desire." It marked the second consecutive year, Jupiter ended Coconut Creek's season. The Warriors defeated Coconut Creek in last year's regional quarterfinal, 47-32 before falling to South Broward, 49-29 in the regional finals.

__label__cc	0.660731	0.339269	League of Extraordinary Applicants Re: League of Extraordinary Applicants by Pinnacle on March 15th 2018, 1:59 pm Israel chuckled a bit at the jokes, but waited until most people seemed fine with the proclamations to do so, in order to avoid adding to the potential insult. Eventually, everyone filed into the I.S.O. facility, the doors at least seemingly opening automatically for them as they approached. "Welcome to the New York International Supers Organization training and evaluation facility." Israel said, as the facility's lights turned on, illuminating what appeared to be a quite large empty auditorium or gymnasium style white room. He continued: "Here we should be able to evaluate your strength, speed, agility, endurance, and overall combat capabilities. We can do so through utilizing the training facility more directly..." He said, as multiple mechanical punching-bag-like objects rose from the floor. "Or we can skip the basics and go right to sparring. In my experience, many potential agents prefer the sparring option, but that is up to you. If sparring is indeed selected, I would suggest pairing Titan with Mythos, Platani with Medicine Woman, and Dark Star with Arcana. That said, pairings are ultimately up to you to agree upon." Israel stood for a moment to create a more natural pause between his words. "So, which option or options would suit each of you?" He asked, glancing around the room. by beepsa on March 16th 2018, 10:39 pm Uhm-- what. She blinks, dumbstruck at the-- compliment? Flirt? Thrown at her face. In this proffessional setting. Though, to be fair, it doesn't seem like this gentleman has once ever cared, honestly, about maintaining a working headspace. Hypothetically, if they were all to have office desks, his would be the one that looks like a bombs dropped on it. She feels her head move back just the slightest as she takes a moment to process everything. "... Uhm? Thank you? I-I'm fine, though." She tries to sound decisive at the end, furrowing her brows just slightly. Really, all she manages is a kind of embarrassed concern. She just needs to get past this, and get onto working. She's got the art of deflection down to a T-- polite disinterest. She wrings her hands a bit, nervously watching onward as the conversation continues. Well-- hm. That's also interesting to note about the agent. She's, besides being really young, she's got a bit of a temper? These people are all really open with expressing themselves-- confidence, maybe? She keeps a watch on everyone with interested eyes. Maybe she's a bit worried to see how this test will go, but she'll at least get the satisfaction of seeing what everyone else's deal is. Which, is very exciting for her. She watched Cadmus, her brows furrowing in a more genuine manner. He's too nice. That other big guy's going to tease him, and he's not even going to recognize what's up-- she's not sure she can let him be teased like that without a clue. "I've worked with Cadmus before. He's a very careful individual when it comes to the work we do." The response isn't biting, but it's definitely testing the waters a bit with the larger man-- it's the most she has said that has any real ground to it, rather than being jumpy and airy. She blinks, however, as the girl around her age speaks up, so calmly. Jesus. She's so much cooler than her? Nicole watches her in amazement. She looks about, like junior year of college aged-- if she had that sort of self confidence her sophomore year? She wishes she did. She probably would have gotten a lot more done-- which, given Nicole's academic accolades, says a lot. She did have to wonder, however-- perhaps her powers have something in common with her heritage? Given the quick defense to it, she either happens to be a staunch advocate just because, or it happens to be connected to her abilities. She makes a quiet mental note of that. Nicole listens to the other man's quick reply, pursing her lips. Mmm. Okay. So, anyways.... She lets those two have their little shoot back, her eyes watching the ISO intimately. She always loved places like this,, the calibration techniques were always really interesting for her, and if this weren't such an occasion she'd probably ask all about how the place is reading scores that can apply on both a normal human aptitude and then the superhuman equivalent, that can end up being about 100 times stronger than the average person. It can read it both, which is beyond impressive, and never fails to light her eyes up as she reflects upon it. "Well, actually, question-- if we do the base evaluation with, ahm, I'll call it the 'control,' we still are requested to, ahm-- participate in the sparring yes? If so, aren't we just going to end up doing both, anyways?" She lets herself follow that train of thought for a while, before blinking. "But, uhm. I don't mind doing the sparring first, if that's the case. I-it seems more time effective." Besides, her powers on their own aren't that interesting. "And-- if-- we have technology designed to help improve our abilities, are those allowed in the spar or?" She's got about a thousand questions on anything if you let her think long enough. "Oh- oh! And, uhm. Do, are we allowed to, ahm, watch the other participants spar? Or is there a sanctity to the space that must be preserved so that the sparring partners don't think too much on, like, ahm-- stage fright, if you will?" She honestly seems a lot more interested just asking questions than when she was offering idle comments here and there. beepsa Location : NYC Job : in school for acting! Humor : nonexistant by Kubi Tsuru on March 19th 2018, 6:59 am Well, they all reacted brilliantly, and in doing so revealed a key part of their personality. He had met Lunetta before and little miss Loli was just as much of a spitfire now as she was then, reacting instantaneously and violently. She had self-esteen issues with her height, as Kubi predicted, and the constant grin on his face got slightly more sarcastic. She, obviously, wasn’t too great under pressure if her insults were any indication. But he could see the sinuous grace and power in her movements. He’d have to be careful around her; if she was half as smart as she was stealthy, she could prove to be quite the challenge. And speaking of intelligence, Nicole was something else, wasn’t she? Beautiful, obviously, and polite if her stammered words of thanks were typical of her; but she was also quite intelligent. Oh, she possessed some level of super strength and speed; not much though, if he was reading her right. Her eyes, though; other than being the most beautiful shade of green he’s ever seen, they shone with intelligence and watched the other candidates with the same level of analysis and caution as his own did. Now that was the most interesting thing he’d seen so far. Sure, fall miles from the sky and land unharmed? Half the hero’s in the world can do that. But to be able to read people and deduce what they can do? Now that’s a truly rare power. And even rarer than that was genuine honesty, but it seemed like today was a treasure trove of rarities, because he found that in the boy named Cadmus - or Mythos, whichever. His decidedly naive response to his cajole was hilarious, of course, but more importantly it established him as a good-natured, honest person. Kubi felt a little bad for the poor kid; this world was only going to rip him to shreds. But hey, let the kid enjoy his innocence while he lasted … though if he really was the Son of Zeus like he hinted at, this world might have a bit of a bite. He knew his Greek mythology of course - it wasn’t by mistake his codename was Titan - and if he was really a myth made real, perhaps his innocence will last long enough. Medicine Woman, however, was an entirely different story. Her barbed comments, implying he had both a lack of intelligence and a lack of knowledge, were exactly what he was looking for; she seemed awfully proud of her culture. Of course Kubi wasn’t serious, of course; the Native American people were a proud, ancient, and powerful race and Kubi wasn’t inclined to be racist. He was, however, inclined to use disparaging remarks to irritate people and to find out potential weaknesses and powers. No superphysical abilities from Medicine Woman; she was either mystical or had some other powers he wasn’t aware of. Not yet, anyway. He was really looking forward to seeing her use them, however. And then there was Gaston. Sweet, sexy, hilarious Gaston. Kubi laughed out loud at his retort. Oh, he was definitely smart, but that wasn’t his power; he held an almost ethereal air, a sort of mystical aura that defied explanation ... or at least, defied an earthly one. Kubi could think of five different abilities he could have. He was honestly tempted to pop into his Arcane Armor real quick just to check to make sure! But nah, that would be spoiling the surprise! And he loved surprising people. He settled instead for a wink and a laugh directed at Arcana. It was gonna be fun to work with them. Mr. Disney certainly had a penchant for the dramatic, the high-tech punching bags dropping from the ceiling in what could only be described as perfect timing. It kinda ruined the effect when you thought about the effort it must have taken to either practice that using mechanical effects or use abilities to make it happen. Either way, it was a lot of work for such a small effect. Nicole seemed similarly unaffected, and his admiration for her soared. The questions she poised were good ones, and Kubi couldn’t help but smirk at the thought that if Pinnacle hadn’t had such a flare for aesthetic, these questions could have been answered. Hell, they should have been answered if Mr. Disney was doing his job correctly. ”All good questions, Cinderella.” He paused just long enough to pat her on the back before continuing. ”I got a coupla of my own. How durable is this building? Can we fight multiple people? Seriously, what’s with the suit?” He gestured again at the suit. ”A good fashion sense is one thing, but can you stand in the shadows a bit? It’s hurting my eyes.” He smirked his smirk, the kind of look seemingly specially designed to infuriate everyone it’s aimed at. ”Oh, and, Cinderella, you single?” Kubi Tsuru Quote : "Power isn't the ability to hurt people, but rather the ability to resist temptation." Location : Everywhere, pretty much Job : Fire Hunter Humor : All kinds and constantly by Row on March 19th 2018, 9:53 am Cira or Dark Star, her new code name, flinched as the lights came on. Open combat, especially in the light, was never her forte. Given the environment, she doubted Pinnacle would use her in such a test. He probably wanted her opinion for the more covert skill set, not that anyone here had them. They were not trained as such, not like her family. Even she was nothing compared to her siblings. So she and her parasol moved to a wall near the entrance and sat down, minimizing her exposure to the light. To her surprise, which she should have been use to, Pinnacle signed her up to spar. She lowered her head, not wanting to deal with new people. What if they were stronger than her? What if she went overboard? Her style was not something you could practice on those you considered allies. Still, she sad nothing. Right now she was an Agent of Eclipse and she needed them. So what ever the higher ups want, she would give... for now. As she dreaded in her head the man poor usage of his people, Nicole asked some very interesting questions. She was sharp which was a minority in the group. It probably was a good thing Cira and Nicole were not matched up else Nicole would abused the weakness lo stupido Kubi revealed and right on cue, the brute was spouting his mouth again. Abet, one of them was a good question but the other ones were just more cries for attention. Cira walked into the middle of the group so everyone could see her, given all the giants in the room. She cleared her throat as a meager attempt to gain everyone's attention. "I do not like repeating myself..." She said in a soft voice loud enough for just the group to hear, "Your observations are accurate, our goals are to evaluate your combative abilities and potential. Sparring, at the moment, is the most effective way to truly capture your abilities. That is not to say there won't be exceptions though. As with your technology. Use whatever you feel will make you show out the most. However, please keep your lethal tactics to a minimal." Cira took a deep breath to push away her nervousness. "If you finish your test early, feel free to observe the others. All fights will be recorded if you wish to view them later. In the field, you are expected to preform audience or no audience. I'm sure you understand, yes?" Then she turned to biggest giant. "The room is design for meta's to go all out... however, I am sure you will find a way to mess it up Kubi. So I recommend, only using what is necessary. Unless that is too difficult of a challenge for you," She closed her eyes trying not to view his reaction, "To answer your other questions, no. Not important. Get over it. And..." Lunetta opened her eyes. A black step ladder formed in front of her under the shadow of the parasol. She walked up it till she was eye level with Kubi. "This is not a dating show, frog. Your princess is not here. So," Suddenly sweat started rolling down her face. Her voice wavered as her nervousness took over. Even at this height he was huge. He could probably hold her in one hand. His eyes showed no sign of fear. She felt like an ant. A tiny force facing a storm. She was out of her league and he knew it. It was a blessing she did not have to face him. Her eyes darted away trying to pull her head with them. "J-j-j-just... Ke..." She sighed and jumped down, letting the light eat her dark construct, "Keep it professional..." With nothing else to say, she squeezed through the cracks in the group so she could stand behind them. She was done with all the attention. It was a distraction for the fortitude she needed to spar with the recruit. If only Gia was here... by Zonky Blong on April 3rd 2018, 5:06 pm Cadmus had started realizing just what the big man had been doing this whole time. Cadmus didn't like bullies, and there was one thing this Kubi fellow had been doing the entire time; it was bullying these people. Cadmus had to catch his breath when Kubi called the Nicole Cinderella. Cadmus wasn't exactly caught up on pop culture, but considering the way that Kubi had used the word; it sounded like an insult. It wasn't until he had gotten past these thoughts that he realized that the short woman had started speaking and had missed the opening bits of her speech. Though she had mentioned sparring. Alright. Cadmus could do that. He would take on this Kubi fellow and teach them why you shouldn't act like an ass in a room full of prospective heroes. After some more explanation from the short woman Cadmus went forward slamming his spear on the ground and allowing electricity to crackle through it. "Alright, Kubi. I've about had it with your attitude. Let's go. One on one." Cadmus jumped into the ring. "There's no reason to hold back, Kubi. Trust me. I can take it, and give it back."

Location : New York State Job : Office work/clerical/occasional multitasking Sean listened to what was said with a silent interest, sparring being the apparent course of action and one that Pinnacle had chosen for them. The one called Dark Star spoke up, explaining things more than the important looking one could and he let his eyes focus on her. Measuring her and how she presented herself with each motion. He heard someone else talking, mentioning something about teaching him the wonders of nature or whatever. Sean found himself smirking, as if the statement amused him. ”I’ll pass mam. I’ve seen the world, grotesque and beautiful. I already know what i’m trying to save, and truth be told I don’t expect you to comprehend what I do.” His tone was oddly calm, without a hint of derision or anything of the sort. Giving no more attention to her, he approached Dark Star with a considerate nod of the head. ”You’re the person i’ll be sparring with right? Not that i’m picking a fight or anything. Just seems like you’re one of the only people here that might be able to keep up with me that hasn’t already picked someone. Mind leading the way to a room to spar or whatever?” Israel noted each of their suggestions as he glanced about the massive room. "The room itself will accomodate your sparring needs. Just specify the kind of arena that you desire and it can be fabricated. As for your questions, Ms. Avifana, they should have been answered in your COE letter. Yes, tech is permitted, yes, watching others spar is also permitted, if it remains possible due to arena changes." by beepsa on April 14th 2018, 3:03 pm Oof. She idly wrings her hands, watching everything unfold. Decisions are always bad-- especially when people go off the rails of what was offered as the 'best solution,' it makes her feel claustrophobic in it's own way. She doesn't want to intrude on what people want, of course-- and it seems like the idea Pinnacle gave out would not be preferred for some, so she doesn't want to insist on that, but, uh... She bites her lip, looking just about every which way. "Uh-- well-- I suppose--" oh god, can she even do this? Fuck. Her jaw clenches as she watches everyone decide what they want to do rather smoothly. "Well, would, uhm-- would it be too much trouble, if, ah-- if I just did the, uhm, basics, first?" She decides, finally, her eyes wide and unsure. This is a non-optimal situation for her. Decisions, outside of the mask? Oof, good luck. She supposes, then, it would also be much easier for them to really watch and evaluate the other sparring matches, to really see what's going on there. "Unless-- ah-- I'd be better suited somewhere else?"	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0051.json.gz/line2942

(152.4 x 127 cm) Funds given by Margery Campbell Fort in honor of Jeffrey Fort’s birthday © Mickalene Thomas 134:2015 In this photograph, Mickalene Thomas captures the strength of the woman’s gaze, her halo of dark hair, and her voluptuously made-up lips. The vibrant patterns of her dress and the wall textile background compliment her features. The model, Din, was a medical student who regularly posed for Thomas. Yet the portrait depicts a character created by the artist through her staging of the setting and costume. Thus, the image becomes a more universal representation of a woman exuding sensual beauty, confidence, and self-awareness. Thomas’ title, French for Din, A Very Beautiful Black Woman, acknowledges an earlier era with its use of the historically charged term “négresse.” Yet the title demonstrates a desire to create empowering associations with such words. In particular, Thomas employs a visual vocabulary that looks back to the 1970s—an era defined by powerful new images of black beauty found in popular media.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0051.json.gz/line2944

( Michael Nolan / robertharding via Getty Images) By Riley Black Whales don’t swim like fish do. Instead of moving their tales side-to-side like a shark or a sunfish, the marine mammals pump their tails up-and-down to propel themselves forward. But over 50 million years ago, the earliest whales had legs and could walk on land. Adapting to life in the sea required a new way of moving, and a fossil uncovered in Egypt helps estimate the time when whales became primarily tail-powered swimmers. The partial skeleton, described today by University of Michigan paleontologist Iyad Zalmout and colleagues in PLOS ONE, is an ancient whale that swam the seas of what’s now Egypt around 39 million years ago. The fossil was found in the desert of Wadi Al-Hitan, a place so rich in cetacean fossils that it’s known as Whale Valley. In 2007 a joint expedition between paleontologists from the University of Michigan and the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency set out to find new whales and other vertebrates in a part of Wadi Al-Hitan that had not been thoroughly explored before. “One paleontologist spotted a cluster of vertebrae weathering out from the foothill of a prominent plateau known as Qaret Gehannam,” Zalmout says, and even more fossilized bones appeared to be going into the rock. The experts had arrived at just the right time to catch the whale, recently exposed by the weathering of the foothill. Paleontologist Mohammed Sameh Antar, third from left, supervising the Aegicetus excavation in 2007. (Philip Gingerich) All told, the paleontologists uncovered almost the entire spine, part of the skull, and pieces of the arms and legs. “It was very clear from the shape and the size of the vertebrae and appendages that this whale is new in this area,” Zalmout says. Further study indicated that the mammal was a species not seen anywhere else in the world. Named Aegicetus gehennae, the ancient swimmer stands out from others found in Wadi Al-Hitan, which fall into one of two groups. Some earlier whales could swim with a combination of paddling limbs and undulating their spines, not unlike otters. Other whales, like Basilosaurus, lived in the sea full time and swam with tails only. Aegicetus fits between the two, representing a moment when whales were just switching to exclusively tail-driven locomotion. “I’d say this fossil is another excellent piece of the puzzle of the lineage of whales that went from terrestrial to fully aquatic,” says George Mason University paleontologist Mark Uhen. Cervical and thoracic vertebrae of Aegicetus. Compared with earlier whales, Aegicetus has a more elongated body and tail and smaller back legs, and it lacks a firm connection between the hind legs and the spinal column. These adaptations indicate an animal that was more fully aquatic and less of a foot-powered swimmer than its ancestors. (Gingerich et al. in PLOS ONE.) Like most animals, early whale evolution doesn’t represent a straight line of progress, but instead is a branching bush of species that had various levels of aquatic skill. Many of these forms were amphibious, and, ultimately, went extinct. Another subset became more and more aquatic, sprouting its own branches that eventually spun off the first cetaceans to live in the seas for their entire lives. Aegicetus is part of the family that increasingly spent time in the water, related to today’s leviathans. The key feature in this fossil, Zalmout and co-authors point out, is the relationship between the hips and the spine. The earliest whales had hips attached to the spine, just like any terrestrial mammal. This configuration helped the hind limbs support the animal’s weight on land. But in Aegicetus and other whales that came later, the hips are decoupled from the spine and suspended by the flesh of the body. The tight fusion of vertebrae at the hip-spine connection—called the sacrum—also became unfused and more flexible. These whales could no longer paddle with their legs and relied more on undulating their spines to move through the water. The shift indicates two things: that these whales were spending most, if not all, of their time in the water where weight-supporting legs weren’t needed, and that these beasts swam by principally using their tails. Diagram of whale evolution. (Mary Parrish / Smithsonian Institution) Not that Aegicetus was much like a modern orca or sperm whale. The fossil whale, which weighed almost a ton (or about a sixth the weight of the biggest orcas), still had jaws set with different types of teeth instead of the simple cones of today’s dolphins. Nor did Aegicetus swim just like its living relatives. “Modern whales use their tails to swim and have evolved vertebral columns, as well as back and abdominal muscles, to power the tail,” Uhen says. Aegicetus didn’t have these anatomical features, and it lacks the skeletal specializations to support a broad tail fluke. Instead, the whale probably swam in a way that would look strange to us, undulating its midsection and long tail while steering with the forelimbs, a creature right at the crux of a stunning evolutionary transformation. “Every time we find a complete and articulated whale of a new species there would be more thinking and digging than before,” Zalmout says. While new discoveries have brought the early history of whales into greater focus than ever before, mysteries remain. For every question a fossil answers, more arise, “which keeps our lives interesting!” Uhen says. Aegicetus is now a part of that story, leading paleontologists to wonder what else may rise from the depths of the fossil record.

The event brought together some of the most promising musical talent in the UK, at some of the best small venues in Scotland. Many came, many listened and many danced. Here's the first of our favourites from the weekend. ECHO VALLEY - The Mash House This pick blew us away. Echo Valley are an impressive indie-rock quartette from Ayrshire. This four-piece indie psych band exhibit a pride in their work and exude an enthusiasm onstage that is contagious. As they tear through their set it’s apparent just how practised they are. Their sound emphasises the luscious crooning pop of Peace; using heavier breakdowns like those of Palma Violets, to create something delicious. Many of their tracks showcase fantastic bass work; exuding a cool atmosphere into the dark, sweaty venue. This sense of relaxation is quickly expelled as the band play an explosive final track. Entitled “Song Idea One” it’s a ferocious dance floor hit. Echo Valley could've easily played at 50% of their ability and won the crowd over just as effortlessly. They’ve proved themselves as a band willing to give nothing but their full capability and we wouldn't want anything else. Fantastic.

(Stew Milne) The New York Red Bulls lost to the New England Revolution 1-0 on Friday night to fall to 1-3-0 on the season. Here's what head coach Jesse Marsch had to say after the game: On injured Red Bull defender Kemar Lawrence, the refs, and team's performance... "Kemar [Lawrence] felt his knee pop a little bit, we're hopeful that he'll be okay, but we're not sure. You know, it's shameful for me, the game is supposed to have honor and they can claim that they didn't see them, they can claim that they weren't sure that he wasn't hurt. It was clear as day that he was down on the ground and not just one player saw him, the whole team saw him, so that part for me is shameful. The other part is that the referee had such a huge impact on this game by having a bad performance. For me, he can blow the whistle when a guy is down like that. He can give a red card to Bradley Wright-Phillips when he is on a breakaway and he gets pushed and shoved from behind that prevents him from getting a clear shot. Could be a red card penalty. How does that affect the game? I'll stop talking about that right now. I wanted to get that out. I want to make a point of that. The next part I want to go to is that our team played great. We had fight, our team stuck together, had confidence even with a man down, played quite well to one of the better teams. It's frustrating to lose, but in many ways that was a great performance for us and we're unlucky to walk out of here without something." On what he told his team after the Revolution scored.... "You just say, 'the game is still there," and to push them and they did. It's obviously an incredibly frustrating moment, but we stuck with the game and we were a bit unlucky to not find a goal." On his defense and his player Karl Ouimette... I thought Karl [Ouimette] had his best game as a Red Bull player. I thought he was very good, good in the air. Shut down their attacking players. I don't know why they switched [Juan] Agudelo and [Teal] Bunbury but ether of those guys were able to find the game much, so a lot of that credit goes to the work Karl and Kemar did. The whole backline I thought was very good. They didn't give much away." On Kemar Lawrence's prior injury going into tonight's game... "There wasn't much of a question because he come out of the game in the 60th minute. It was a wreck to his ankle, so he felt fine - he actually came back. When he came back, the day he came back he did a regen and yesterday he trained and looked great so there wasn't any issues there. Again, we are hopeful that isn't too bad." On anticipating the switching of Juan Agudelo and Teal Bunbury before the game.... "We knew that they were going to play long balls and try to win aerial duels, so we were prepared for that. We weren't sure [Charlie] Davies or [Juan] Agudelo was going to feature. We talked about dealing with all their different qualities of their attacking players. Our two teams know each other pretty well so there is not a lot of surprises." On the Felipe red card... "That's another one that's not a red card. I said I was going to stop, but I didn't include that when we talked about the referee. With Felipe being out, it's frustrating and disappointing from the call but I know that Sean Davis stepped in and actually played really well and did a good job. I think Sean will be ready next week and this team's deep. It's a good team, a deep team, so I'm not worried about that."

Infinite Undiscovery doesn’t supply something new to the Japanese RPG genre but is still a stable RPG experience for those looking like a recreation like Closing Fantasy on the Xbox 360. The pick of the sequence for me is without a doubt Railroad Tycoon 2, which scored a excessive 89 on Metacritic. The gameplay of SWTOR is extremely similar to that of World of Warcraft, but followers of WoW will benefit from the change of state of affairs that Star Wars: The Outdated Republic offers. I loved the highly effective feeling that comes from being a Jedi Knight, though I used to be only one in training.

(11 3/8 x 8 3/8 in.) [sheet] The present sheet was produced for a deluxe illustrated edition of the Abbé Félicité de Lamennais’s 1834 collection of aphorisms entitled Paroles d’un croyant, published by Charles Meunier in Paris in 1908. Schwabe produced forty-six illustrations, forty-two framing or border compositions and more than fifty culs-de-lampefor the book, which was published in a limited, numbered edition of 166 copies. The artist began working on the project in 1906, and his drawings for the book were exhibited at the Champ de Mars in 1908 and at the Salon d’Automne the following year. Many years later, in 1924, Charles Meunier had a copy of the book bound in an elaborate binding, to which he added a personal preface: ‘These visions of present torments, these dreams of future happiness, where Lammenais meets Dante, his brother in faith, hatred and glory, M. Carloz [sic] Schwabe has so perfectly understood them, that he makes us experience in our turn the wizardry of his draughtsmanship. His feelings of grief and of mystical sensuousness are given free rein in the illustration of this work, where is found, as in the rest of his oeuvre, a proud, irritated and suffering soul, ready however to succumb to the delicious weight of tears and the amorous ecstasy of faith.’ Other drawings by Carlos Schwabe for Paroles d’un croyant are today in the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire in Geneva and in several private collections.

__label__wiki	0.931672	0.931672	Shock as 37 school nurses and health visitors set to lose jobs There are fears the £2.5 million cuts will affect Staffordshire's most vulnerable families Nearly 40 nurses and health visitors could be laid off as part of ‘cruel’ budget cuts, union officials have warned. Staffordshire County Council is implementing £2.5 million of cuts to its children and young people’s health and wellbeing services – which were part of budget savings approved by the authority three years ago. School nurses and health visitors have been combined into a single programme, provided by Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Partnership NHS Trust (SSOTP) and launched last month. Council chiefs say the new arrangement will allow shrinking budgets to be used more efficiently, and insist that £9.4 million is still being spent on the services. But Unite says 37 members of the school nursing and health visitor teams are now facing redundancy, and SSOTP has now started a 30-day consultation period. Health visitors and school nurses are facing job cuts (Image: Getty) Frank Keogh, regional officer for the union, condemned the cuts, saying they would hit vulnerable families in Staffordshire. He said: “These cruel cuts are putting vital services, such as maternal and child mental health, child protection and domestic abuse, under even more severe strain. “Recently implemented cuts have already hit hard in Staffordshire with the loss of children’s centres and support for breastfeeding mothers. Mum slams school's 'bullying problem' after boy left son, 13, looking like this “Now, like a shark that has tasted blood, councillors are coming back to take another £2.5 million chunk from the already much reduced nought-19 years’ budget. “This second financial hit will further reduce the numbers of health visitors and school nurses and therefore leave our children and families vulnerable. They are talking about 37 redundancies to the school nursing and health visitor teams. School nurses and health visitors face the axe “This is at a time when families need support more than ever as the impact of the government’s austerity agenda continues to attack children and their services. Our health visitors and school nurses believe Staffordshire children deserve better than this.” NHS SOS: Why we're standing up for health services in our city Why we're standing up for the NHS 2 people die needlessly in city each day 'Stoke-on-Trent is still a sick city' 4,700 patients face mammoth A&E waits How cancer patients are cared for Chronic shortage of city GPs Your life expectancy by council ward 19 'toxic' Stoke-on-Trent GP surgeries SSOTP says the health and wellbeing programme for nought to 19-year-olds provides ‘universal, targeted and specialist care’ to families across Staffordshire. Services are based around four hubs, including one covering Newcastle and the Staffordshire Moorlands, with a greater emphasis on providing support via phone, app and text message. Higher levels of support will be targeted at the most vulnerable families. The county council’s 10 remaining children’s centres will also become part of the combined service in 2020. Alan White, deputy leader and cabinet member for health, care and wellbeing at the county council, said the new programme would meet the needs of all families in Staffordshire. Wife of terminally-ill man tells Jeremy Hunt to 'sort your s*** out' after 16-hour wait for hospital bed He said: “The county council absolutely recognises the skill and expertise of health visiting and school nursing services and we want to make sure their support is offered where it is needed most. “Our new children and young people health and wellbeing programme brings these two services together under one roof so that we cut down on duplication and provide support that fits best with today’s modern families.

Julie Tanner, director of workforce and development, said: “To ensure that the trust can provide the children and young people’s health and wellbeing programme within the funding provided, a piece of work has taken place to review the workforce within this service. “Staff are currently in a 30-day consultation period of which trade union colleagues have been informed of and engaged in. As an organisation we will continue to support all staff throughout this process and if required redeployment opportunities will be sought after through a Staffordshire wide redeployment service.”	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0051.json.gz/line2963
__label__wiki	0.948115	0.948115	India's monsoon rains could ease soon, says weather office http://str.sg/ZPcV NEW DELHI (REUTERS) - India's monsoon rains could ease soon after hitting 89 per cent over averages in the week to June 19, according to weather office sources, in a third straight week of downpours that have caused major flooding in north India. This year's monsoon has drenched the country in record time, almost a month ahead of schedule. Heavy rains in north India have swollen the Ganges, India's longest river, and floods have swept away houses, killing more than 80 people and leaving tens of thousands stranded. For India's farmland, above average early rains help soften the soil, leading to plantings of summer crops such as rice, soybean, cane and cotton, and the June to September monsoon is crucial for the 55 per cent of arable land without irrigation. India's monsoon rains are expected to ease in the next week and forecasters see normal rainfall in July and August. "Rainfall activities are expected to weaken in north, northwest and southern India," said D S Pai, the lead forecaster of the India Meteorological Department. If flooding persists, stagnant water could delay sowing or damage early rice shoots. The farm sector accounts for about 15 per cent of a nearly US$2-trillion (S$2.5 trillion) economy, Asia's third-biggest. "The monsoon has been beneficial so far over drought areas of south and western India," said Sudhir Panwar, president of Kishan Jagriti Manch, a farmers' group. Weather officials also said the monsoon rains will be more on the west coast next week, while the rain-starved northeast region will also have increased rainfall.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0051.json.gz/line2969

Democratic presidential front-runner Gary Hart was rumored to be having an extramarital fling. “Follow me around. I don’t care. I’m serious,” he challenged the media. “If anybody wants to put a tail on me, go ahead. They’ll be very bored.” A couple of Miami Herald reporters did indeed put a tail on Hart and found a yummy blonde named Donna Rice. Shortly thereafter, a photo surfaced of Hart and Rice canoodling in the Bahamas aboard a yacht, aptly named Monkey Business. Hart not only lost his front-runner status, he was no longer a runner at all. He also opened Pandora’s box—giving the green light for the media to spy on politicians’ private lives, which were theretofore pretty much off-limits. Unlike Gary Hart, I haven’t asked anyone to spy on me. Yet know I am being spied on—by government, by business, by marketers—and were I holding down a real job in a real office, my employer would be spying on me. And I am glad of it. Quite simply, we are all being spied on. Get used to it. Can We Trust Big Brother? Let me say at the outset, I do not trust big government. For example, In the past two weeks: • Investigators have begun this morning to try to determine the cause of a highway bridge collapse in Minneapolis that has killed at least seven people and injured more than 60. Officials warn that the death toll is likely to climb today as divers search dozens of cars submerged in the Mississippi River. “This is a catastrophe of historic proportions for Minnesota,” Minnesota Gov. Pawlenty said Wednesday, hours after the busy bridge over Interstate 35W collapsed during the evening rush hour. —William M. Welch; Alan Gomez; USA Today, August 2, 2007 • A federal judge held the FBI “responsible for the framing of four innocent men” in a 1965 gangland murder in a landmark ruling yesterday and ordered the government to pay the men $101.7 million for the decades they spent in prison.

They started focusing on tier two and three market opportunities before it became popular, blending acquisitions with organic expansions to rapidly establish themselves as a national player in the interconnection-focused data center world. Here to give us an update on Cologix’s approach is CEO Grant van Rooyen. TR: Cologix has expanded rapidly since its founding four years ago. Has your viewpoint on the market opportunity evolved much since then? GVR: Nothing has changed with respect to our strategic focus regarding the types of markets we like and an appropriate balance between the interconnection franchise and robust colocation for clients that need more than just access and meet-me rooms. We've now done nine acquisitions, and I think that gets most of the attention. But what gets less focus is that we've also constructed a number of data centers ourselves and have dramatically built out the portfolio in support of those interconnection franchises in the eight markets we operate in. TR: Your strategy thus far has been to acquire its way into new markets and then invest organically to expand from that foothold. Why do it that way, and do you plan to continue on that path? GVR: Absolutely. The reason that acquisition is necessary in our business plan is that the interconnection sites that are the most valuable and are of interest to us were established a long time ago. They created the density of networks and value to their markets from an interconnection perspective many years ago. You can't just walk into a new market, like Minneapolis for example, and decide you want to be an interconnection franchise, deploy a significant amount of capital, and expect the 75 networks we have to just march across the street for a new meet-me room. If you are an interconnection-focused franchise, which we are, and you want to expand into other markets, in almost every case to get that franchise you have to buy it. That has been our strategy on the way into markets. Once we are in, we look for the invitation from existing, incremental customers to deploy meaningful expansion capital to build out capacity around the core interconnection franchise. TR: Why do you think we are seeing more M&A interest in data centers and interconnection businesses in smaller markets? Has it affected your approach? GVR: Folks over the last five years have overlooked what are great businesses in very robust network markets in fantastic economies, whether that be in Canada where we moved into quickly four years ago, or cities like Minneapolis, Columbus or Jacksonville. We have thought for some time that folks have missed out on these opportunities. However, our style is to meet people that own great businesses, build relationships with them, and give them an opportunity to transact their businesses for fair value to us. We are quite comfortable going out and finding businesses that may not be for sale and convincing them. That frankly has been the primary driver of our strategy. We don't sit back and wait for our friendly investment banker to call us and tell us they have something for sale. The better businesses in our opinion are the ones that are not for sale when they catch our interest. TR: Do you think the need for closer enterprise access to cloud resources and better content distribution is driving demand in these markets? GVR: One hundred percent. For lack of a better term, the 'thickening' of the edge of the Internet as it's reflected in the growing importance of what folks would call tier two and three markets is something we see every day in our meet-me rooms and in our sales numbers. Whether it is traditional carriers or newly emergent networks, they are increasingly pushing into the types of markets we operate in, and we're seeing that accelerate. We also have a number of exchanges that sit in our data centers that facilitate the peering fabric. So we see it both on the physical interconnection side in our meet-me rooms and also the exchange side, where we are watching traffic flows increase exponentially. This acceleration is directly correlated with the fact that networks, content providers and media companies are discovering that these are important markets where they need to have PoPs. It was part of our thesis that these types of markets would become more important and relevant for interconnection and for the distribution of content, and that networks would be forced to better originate and terminate traffic efficiently. TR: Another new piece of the data center markets that has emerged over the past year or two is Open-IX. What is Cologix’s view of that effort? GVR: We are a member. Our exchange and interconnection philosophy is very consistent with what the emerging and evolving philosophies of OpenIX are. It's still very early for what they're trying to do, and we are keen observers of that evolution. At a macro level, anything associated with creating greater opportunity for networks and content to interconnect is a good thing. Having said that, we have been supporting open, member-run Internet exchanges since well before Open-IX emerged as a storyline. Today our customers can access four independent exchanges across our platform, and three of the top four independent exchanges in North America (TORIX, MICE and QIX). TR: Your most recent acquisition of Colo5 in Florida included both complementary assets in Jacksonville and a pure colocation piece out in Lakeland. How does that kind of asset fit with your plans? GVR: Colo5 was an interesting opportunity for us. A year ago, we bought the interconnection site at 421 West Church in Jacksonville. That gave us the meet-me room and dense network hub, which we like even more now that several promised new submarine cables have come to life, opening up a potential for Internet traffic to bypass Miami on the way to South America. These are real routes that are proving very popular. Once we did the 421 West Church deal, we wanted to build out meaningful capacity to respond to the demand we see in the Jacksonville market. We had two choices: build significant capacity within Jacksonville or see if an acquisition could fill that role. In this case, the Colo5 team had built a wonderful business there with a class-5, hurricane-rated, purpose-built data center. As part of the deal we picked up the building, all the land, strong management expertise, a wonderful roster of enterprise, content, and network customers that called that data center home, and meaningful capacity to expand both space and power. The Lakeland asset was Colo5’s extension beyond Jacksonville, and they had just opened the site. To some degree it came along with the deal. But the more we understood how customers view Florida and how they view their disaster recovery plans, the more we realized Lakeland, which sits halfway between Tampa and Orlando on the highest point in Florida, was very interesting to our existing customers. So while it wasn't the primary driver for the acquisition, it was a very nice follow-on asset and one that we have a lot of interest in. It's fair observation to call it a bit different business for us, but we're finding a way to make it work very nicely with our Florida strategy. TR: Are you looking for new acquisitions? Where might we expect Cologix’s next new market to be? GVR: I've given up utilizing my crystal ball to try to predict the next place we will go to. If you'd asked me four years ago whether these eight markets would be the ones we are in today, I would have been wrong. But we'll always take the tour for assets that are in the marketplace, and when an opportunity arises we like to move quickly and confidently. Before we started buying these assets, we spent a year making sure that we had a comprehensive view of the assets throughout North America. That groundwork pays off in spades when it comes to moving quickly on opportunities. We're big fans of staying focused and highly disciplined in how we go about building our business, acquiring companies, and most importantly integrating them. It's very easy to buy something; it's a lot harder to comprehensively, thoughtfully, effectively and efficiently integrate them. The source of pride for us is not the buy; it's successfully integrating it and operating it as well as we do the rest of our facilities. TR: How difficult is the integration of assets like this? What’s the hardest part? GVR: An area that the telecom industry broadly and certainly the data center and network business has been sloppy on is on making sure that the data and inventory of the infrastructure from a system perspective is at the forefront of the integration. If you don't have it in your system, it's tough to manage it, it's tough to bill it, and it's tough to drive the automated efficiency that one would expect. While integrating a 100,000-square-foot data center with 150 customers may be on one level a lot easier than integrating a 20,000-mile network and all the sites it runs between, if you aspire to have accuracy over your data and inventory, as well as the efficient command and control over your infrastructure, then those integration projects are very complex. But they allow you to build a better business. And we hold ourselves to a high standard. We expect to be billing out of our billing system within a handful of months after doing a deal, and nine times out of nine we have done so. TR: Thank you for talking with Telecom Ramblings!

__label__wiki	0.976183	0.976183	Did nine other inmates die like Ashley Smith? By Diana ZlomislicStaff Reporter Mon., Sept. 6, 2010timer3 min. read Since Ashley Smith’s disturbing death inside a Kitchener segregation cell, Canada’s prison watchdog told the Star he has discovered nine similar fatalities that question the correctional service’s willingness to stop jailhouse suicides. “They reflect many of the issues that came to light in our investigation into Ashley Smith’s death,” correctional investigator Howard Sapers said. Smith, 19, strangled herself with a piece of cloth on October 19, 2007 at Grand Valley Institution while seven guards watched. Senior prison officials ordered staff to keep their distance as long as she appeared to be breathing. About 130 federal inmates have died from a variety of causes since Smith’s death, Sapers said. Nine of these cases emerged as particularly troubling. While every death in custody is reviewed, those that get a “second or third look” from the correctional investigator are those in which the “circumstances present opportunities for intervention and prevention.” Sapers said additional details will be revealed in a report to be released on Wednesday. With a coroner’s inquest into Ashley Smith’s death also scheduled to start in November, Sapers told the Star he feels strongly that the process examine her entire experience in the adult correctional system. Deputy Chief Coroner Dr. Bonita Porter had earlier ruled that the inquest should focus on the last 13 weeks of Smith’s life, which she served in Ontario. Smith’s family argues that Porter’s inquest must consider the 11 months preceding her death, which drove her to “suicidal despair.” Sapers agrees. Court and prison documents obtained by the Star show how the young woman’s complaints of inhumane treatment were repeatedly ignored and how she wound up a “caged animal,” four years after first entering the correctional system for throwing crab apples at a postal worker. In federal custody, Smith had been shuttled through 17 institutions across four provinces in the last year of her life alone, and spent most of that time in a segregation cell wearing only a padded gown. “It’s impossible to understand her death unless you look at her entire experience in federal custody,” Sapers said. “Ashley Smith died within a particular context and that context is described by her total correctional experience.” Boiling down the cause of death to asphyxiation is too easy, he said. “You really need to understand why she was in that cell, why the correctional staff intervened the way they intervened, why the managers made the decisions they made around the management of her custody, why she had been transferred so many times, why she was on certain medications and not others, why she was being held in segregation, why she was sometimes in restraints,” he added. Sapers revealed that there are issues in the Smith case that merit “closer scrutiny” — issues that he wasn’t able to delve into in his own report. It has only recently come to light, he said, that Smith was given psychotropic drugs against her will while she was held at a Quebec prison. Staff claimed they administered the injections because the teen was in “imminent danger,” which makes it legal. “The real question is, was it justifiable?” Sapers said. Was she in imminent danger or was the institution simply trying to medicate Smith into becoming a model inmate? Last week, Porter agreed to let the family’s lawyer submit written arguments supporting a motion to broaden the inquest’s scope. But she also issued a rare sealing order on all of the information — meaning that the family’s arguments and any supporting evidence will never enter the public domain. The coroner’s inquest may be the last opportunity for a greater public understanding of Smith’s death and the role the dysfunctional prison system played in her demise, Sapers said. When he launched his own probe into Smith’s death, the scope of his work was limited by a criminal investigation. Still, Sapers remained hopeful that what he couldn’t say in his report would be aired during a trial. When Crown Prosecutor Andre Rajna dropped all charges against Kitchener prison employees in late 2008 with little explanation, his hope of a greater public understanding vanished. “I’m concerned that the scope of the inquest will be so narrow,” Sapers said, “that opportunity may be lost as well.”	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0051.json.gz/line2985

We are here to start a conversation,” said state Rep. Tony McCombie, R-Savanna. “We need the people who put us in office to be able to rely on us and trust us, and today, they can’t do that.” McCombie is sponsoring House Joint Resolution 87 which would create a bipartisan task force to examine state ethics laws and how to better improve and enforce them. The measure was assigned to the House Executive Committee but has not yet been scheduled for a hearing. The General Assembly’s veto session began Monday, continues through Wednesday and resumes Nov. 12-14. The task force would consist of one member of the governor’s staff and two members of the Republican and Democratic caucuses in each chamber appointed by their legislative leaders. It would have 90 days from the day the resolution passes to report to the General Assembly and governor with its recommendations. State Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, said she filed a similar bill in 2012 but it failed to gain support. What’s different this year, she said, is the number of corruption-related headlines emanating from state government. “Obviously we are concerned with everything that’s being reported out there with the investigations going on and we will try again,” Rezin said. Shortly after Monday’s conference, news broke that state Rep. Luis Arroyo, D-Chicago, was arrested Friday on corruption charges. It was the latest development in a string of ongoing federal investigations of several Statehouse regulars that have yielded FBI raids and at least one indictment of a sitting lawmaker, state Sen. Tom Cullerton, D-Villa Park. “We’re not here to point fingers; we’re here to work collectively together and to take action together to bring back public trust. That’s it,” McCombie said. State Rep. Maurice West, D-Rockford, agreed with his Republican colleagues. “This issue should not be a partisan issue,” he said. “Matter of fact, it should not even be a bipartisan issue, this should be a moral issue. West was the only Democrat in attendance, but he said he anticipated further support for the task force from his party. State Rep. Grant Wehrli, R-Naperville, promoted his House Bill 361, which would increase penalties for some ethics violations. That measure was introduced at the beginning of the regular legislative session but has not moved out of the House Rules Committee. That bill would impose a fine of up to $200,000 for legislator lobbying and bribery violations, upping the penalty for bribery to a misdemeanor from a petty offense. It also would create a $150,000 fine for any legislator who willfully files a false or incomplete statement of economic interest, a mandated document that lawmakers must submit each year. “This bill is nothing more than an example of a starting point of a conversation that we all need to have to regain public trust and to get voters engaged in the process,” Wehrli said. McCombie said the task force she is proposing would look at Wehrli’s bill and others pertaining to ethics to form recommendations.

A team of work friends will tackle their latest charity challenge in aid of Weston Hospicecare when they take part in the Moonlight Beach Walk next month. The seven-strong group from Key Solutions Mortgages in West Wick will join hundreds of other women in taking on 5km and 10km routes along Weston beach in aid of the hospice on September 14. The ladies-only trek is one of the hospice's most popular annual events, and has been revamped this year to offer a longer route option, an earlier start time - and lots of extra fun along the way. More: New look for Midnight Beach Walk. Cristie Mulholland, Coral Hill, Ellis Clapp, Georgia Sketchley, Lucy Powell, Lauren West and Abi Crocker from Key Solutions Mortgages say they are looking forward to being part of what they hope will be a special night. Georgia said: "The gang (that's what we call ourselves) are always looking for new ways to give back as we want to be a force for good. "We haven't taken part in this event before, so we're all really looking forward to spending the evening together and supporting each other and all the other participants during the walk." Although they have not previously signed up to any Weston Hospicecare events, the team have organised their own after a colleague was touched by the work of the hospice. Georgia added: "One of our colleagues witnessed first-hand how incredible the team are at the hospice when her father was taken ill. She saw all the amazing work they do and they supported her during what was a very tough time." The friends organised a Key Solutions Somerset 3 Peaks Challenges where 16 colleagues climbed the three tallest peaks in Somerset - Brean Down, Crooks Peak and Brent Knoll, and raised £1,300 for the hospice. They are looking forward to raising even more for the cause during the Moonlight Beach Walk. Georgia said: "We are so excited to take part in this event, it's such a great way to get all our friends and family together and do something fun for a good cause." Entry to the Moonlight Beach Walk costs £15, and includes participation in the walk, a personalisable souvenir T-shirt, a glass of prosecco, and entry to the after-party at the Grand Pier.

__label__cc	0.556046	0.443954	Interview: Bill and Francene Barton of Neely’s Daniel Vaughn https://www.texasmonthly.com/bbq/interview-bill-and-francene-barton-of-neelys/ Twins Francene and Geraldine Neely from the Neely’s Facebook page. Owners: Neely’s, opened 1927 Smoker: Wood-fired steel offset smoker Wood: Hickory Neely’s in Marshall, Texas is famous for being very old and for serving a Brown Pig sandwich. It’s by far their most popular menu item, but of course Bill wants to remind you that people really like their burgers too. If you don’t know what a Brown Pig sandwich is, the Longview News Journal described it well in an article last year. “The Brown Pig is made of choice pork that is hickory smoked, then ground to texture. The ground, smoked pork is served on a bun with a secret sauce and topped with lettuce and mayonnaise.” They’ve been serving if for a long time considering that Neely’s first opened on Aug. 15, 1927. The granddaughter of the original founder is still running the place these days, and business is still good. Here’s hoping they can make it another thirteen years for their hundredth anniversary. Daniel Vaughn: How did Neely’s start and who started it? Francene Barton: My granddad, Lonnie Neely. He was from Alabama, and he always said his grandmother taught him how to barbecue. He came to Texas and met my grandmother. Her name was Mamie Downey Neely. They started selling sandwiches out of the gas station in Marshall. Of course all the kids pitched in. These days we don’t focus so much on granddad. There were nine kids, and ultimately he left them. DV: Did he just disappear, or was there a divorce? FB: He just left. My grandmother was a staunch Catholic and never divorced him. He did marry again quite a few years later. DV: So, Mamie took over then? When was that? FB: It was during the Depression, so in the thirties [1933 according to an old newspaper story]. My grandmother was really ahead of her time. She found the place on Highway 80. It was called the Tittle Building and belonged to (NFL legend) Y. A Tittle’s family. That’s were she opened the restaurant. The Tittles sold that building and we moved to our current location in 1960. Neely Bros. in the old Tittle Building. Image supplied by Neely’s DV: Is Y. A Tittle a Neely’s fan? FB: Mr. Tittle was here three times this past summer. He’s in his late eighties now. He comes to have lunch with his old high school buddies. The customers love it. He comes in to sign everything, but he’s pretty frail now. Every time he comes in he asks for the nickel Brown Pig sandwich, so evidently they were a nickel at one point. James Neely and Y. A. Tittle. Imaged supplied by Neely’s DV: Does the Tittle building still exist? Bill Barton: No. It was on the site where Pelz Jewelry is now. DV: And the old gas station? BB: That land was taken from the family by imminent domain. It was where Loop 390 crosses West Houston on the west side. DV: Were there other locations of Neely’s in the state? BB: After the war, the boys came back and worked at the Tittle Building. They called that Neely Brothers for a while. Over time they opened their own places. FB: The biggest one was in Dallas. The building is still there. It’s at 5301 W. Davis out near Loop 12. They served the Brown Pig, but they also had shrimp and steaks. It was a big deal. The building that housed Neely’s in Dallas. Image from Google Maps BB: That was owned by the oldest, Lon Neely. They lived above it. DV: Where did the other brothers open theirs? FB: The rest were around here. Uncle Dick had a Neely’s in Longview. Uncle Arvil opened one in Kilgore and another in Liberty. BB: The one I went to in high school was owned by her Uncle Skeet out on Highway 80. DV: How many locations were there at the height of it? FB: At any one time there were six or seven. Image from Neely’s DV: Do you know why they all eventually closed? FB: One of the brothers went into insurance and another went into furniture. Uncle Lon retired when his health prevented him from running the restaurant. My dad was the only one that worked there until his death. That was in 1988. There is a place in Daingerfield called Fran’s Pizza and BBQ. It is run by Dick’s children. They have a Brown Pig on the menu and they also serve Brown Pig pizza. DV: That’s an interesting twist. When Neely’s first started, was there a relationship with the Pig Stands opening in Dallas at the same time? FB: No. As far as I now there wasn’t any connection to the Pig Stands. The brothers were approached to franchise, but they just never did. DV: There may not have been a connection, but the menus were very similar with the pig sandwich being the feature. Do you know if pork was just more popular in Marshall in that era? FB: I really don’t know. DV: Do you know what the menu looked like when it first opened? FB: It was pretty simple. It was just sandwiches then. I know that growing up we served sliced beef and pork plates and rotisserie chickens. We never had printed menus. They were also posted on the wall. In 1965 the Brown Pig sandwich was $0.65. DV: Has it always been just the dining room and the walk-up window, or has it ever had a drive-in element with car hops? BB: I think they did have car hops. I remember them. FB: By the time we graduated from high school in 1965 there weren’t any car hops, but I know they had them at the Tittle Building. BB: James even used to come out to your car to deliver food. DV: Was James your father? FB: Yes, my father was James. He was the best. He was the one that stayed with the business in the same location. My mom was Francis. DV: James is the one who took over from your grandmother and kept it going? FB: Correct. He was at the Tittle building, and he moved with her in 1960 to the new location. She died in 1964. BB: James was an amazing man. His father left them for another woman. They moved down to the Corpus Christi area. When they got feeble, James brought them up here and took care of them. He paid for their care and for the nursing homes. He would bring them to family events like Christmas and Thanksgiving. Even after his dad died he took care of her just the same. Even now customers come in and tell us about all the things James did for them. DV: That’s some powerful forgiveness. FB: Yes indeed. DV: At the restaurant, did James do the cooking? FB: He did the cooking. My mom worked hand in hand with him running the inside and the registers. He did all the meat smoking. Have you seen the Youtube video about Neely’s? DV: I did see that. What a great time capsule. BB: That was part of a PBS special called Marshall, Texas; Marshall, Texas. FB: It was a look at the two different Marshalls. The white Marshall and the black Marshall. It won some awards. DV: Has Neely’s always stayed within the family? FB: I have a twin sister Geraldine. She worked at Neely’s with my mom and dad over the lunch hour. When my mom died our good friend Pat Harris took over. He was our meat supplier, so he just started running both businesses. His daughter ran it after him, then two other ladies. When they were through, it was either let Neely’s die or do something about it, so that’s when we stepped in. DV: When was that? BB: Year before last. DV: What were you doing before then? BB: My day job is training for FEMA. I work for a company in Austin, but I can do it out here in the woods. We have twelve acres and my sister next door has ten acres. DV: Have you always lived in Marshall? BB: We lived in Annapolis and we moved back to Marshall in 2002. We came back after 9/11. It was pretty traumatic for me. My sister called me on a Thursday and said the property next to her was for sale. We closed on it over the phone the next day on Friday. DV: Are you both originally from Marshall? BB: We both graduated from Marshall High School in the class of ‘65. DV: Were you high school sweethearts? BB: No. We really didn’t know each other very well. Our grandmothers worked together at J. C. Penny. They figured out that Francene and I would be working together at the same school in Beaumont, so they brought it to our attention. DV: What was your relationship with Neely’s when you got back to town? FB: We were customers, but we weren’t involved in running or managing it until we took it over. DV: I’m glad you were able to keep it going. Neely’s is a Texas treasure. FB: So is everyone else. They’re glad to see a family member involved again. BB: We’ve been told that it’s the longest running business in the same location in Marshall. Our main focus is to keep Neely’s long enough to make its hundred year anniversary. We’re in our sixties, so we need to make sure it gets to there. DV: Those Brown Pig sandwiches keep you young, right? The Brown Pig Sandwich BB: Yes. It’s just good to be there too. It’s good to hear people come in and tell you what they remember about eating at Neely’s. DV: Are you aware of the other famous barbecue man named Jim Neely in Memphis? BB: A man came here a year ago and told me a long story. His mother had always wanted to go to Memphis and find out if those Neelys were kin to his Neelys. He said he went up there and met Jim Neely. I’m just telling you what this man told me. He said Jim Neely took him into his office and showed him a picture of his grandfather who was white. Jim told him that he had been here and said he and James had talked and decided they were some kind of kin. I always meant to call Jim Neely, but I never have. So I called Jim Neely in Memphis. Daniel Vaughn: I’m calling to see if you know if you have any relation to the Neely’s barbecue folks in Marshall, Texas. Jim Neely: I am almost certain of it. DV: Have you been there? JN: I have. I was driving through and saw the sign Neely’s BBQ so I stopped and went in to talk to the guy who was running the place. I’ll never forget he told the girl “Fix him a Brown Pig.” I’m almost sure we’re related. The fellow I met there looked just like my great grandfather Jim Neely, who I was named after. DV: Do you know if it was James Neely that you spoke with? JN: I don’t remember. DV: He ran Neely’s for some time, but he passed away in 1988. JN: I could imagine because he was an older gentleman. He called his barbecue sandwich a Brown Pig. DV: Had you ever heard of that? JN: Oh no, no, no. That was something I think they just had there in Marshall, Texas. I remember coming down from Texarkana and driving down what I think was Highway 79 [likely 59] I looked over and saw Neely’s BBQ, so I stopped. At the time I didn’t go into a long family conversation because I hadn’t done all the genealogy that I’ve done now. When the book on my family tree was originally written it was back in the days when you couldn’t have a black branch on that family tree. We redid it and added that branch to the tree. My Neelys came in through Philadelphia in 1734. My great grandfather, Jackson Jack Neely, was a colonel in the Civil War. His son was my grandfather Jim Neely. DV: Were any of them barbecue men? JN: No. I’m the first Neely in Memphis into barbecue. DV: So, Jackson Jack was a white man, right? JN: Yes. He moved to Memphis with his family. He was married and had kids. Then he went down to Marshall County and took up with a woman that he claimed was a mulatto. He started a family. He had sons and daughters. And one was my grandfather Jim Neely.

But he is also a professional artist. Born in Croydon in 1953 and graduating in 1975 with an art degree from Coventry’s ‘Lanchester Polytechnic’, much of his practice to date has been based on figurative work influenced by traditional forms of iconography infused with a Pop Art sensibility. He cites his influences as Peter Blake, Andy Warhol and Wayne Thiebaud. His giant ‘cassette’ paintings fit into the Pop Art genre and its motif of ‘elevating the mundane’, with an emphasis on the cassette itself as an icon in terms of its place in musical and cultural history. Horace calls these paintings ‘repositories of memory’ because they evoke a specific period of music history between the reel-to-reel tape and the compact disc and because music itself, even just a song title, provokes a stirring of memory/nostalgia.

__label__wiki	0.801844	0.801844	ROHIT SANKAR \| 9 JANUARY, 2018 A Diary: Cape Town Screamed At Batsmen To Counter-Attack It was a horror stroke from monk-like Pujara Cheteshwar Pujara appeared to be in a bubble. His hands were moving carefully, playing with soft hands, manoeuvring the ball ever so slightly into the leg-side. The off-side did not exist to him. He had scored a meagre two runs on the off-side off the 92 balls he had faced in the game. No,he wasn't a leg-side player. Playing on the off-side where a pack of wolves awaited in the slip cordon was suicide against a rampaging South African four-pronged attack. Just 26 runs came off his bat before lunch on day 2, but importantly he had negotiated the South African seamers and showed the temperament and composure to grit it out in the middle. The knock was worth applauding. Surely, he would build on this start and make a big one for India, assumed the fans. Only, it didn't materialise. First ball after lunch, the monk-like Pujara, who had left a zillion balls in the corridor outside the off-stump, carelessly wafted at a wide ball from Philander to the slips. It was a horror stroke from India’s most composed batsman of the morning session. Hardik Pandya, with all his swagger and a World of confidence behind him, walked out for his debut innings at Newlands. India were in a pool of trouble having lost the cream of their top-order. They needed Pandya to lift them from the abyss like he did at the Champions Trophy, minus the horror run-out of course. First ball, Pandya chased a wide delivery and nearly nicked Vernon Philander to the slips. It ran away to the fence and Pandya was away. Dale Steyn teased and probed his technique outside the off-stump. Morkel and Rabada questioned his temperament and maturity against a short ball barrage. He did not back down. He religiously followed his skipper's mantra of 'fighting fire with fire’. When Philander landed it fuller, Pandya offered a straight bat and lifted it over mid-off, not bothering to keep it down and sending it soaring over the mid-off fielder. The effects showed two balls later when Philander, who on his day would land 99/100 balls in the very same area, bowled shorter and Pandya blasted the cut to fetch four more. A further two balls later, he was stepping down the track, an evident spring in his steps, and lambasted Philander through mid-wicket. It wasn't about finding the meat of the bat. It wasal about showing intent and pushing South Africa's relentless four-pronged attack onto the back-foot. 95 balls later (just three more than Pujara batted), he had played a slew of ramp shots, ugly hoicks, pulls and slashes, survived a dropped catch and a stumping. But importantly, he had 93 runs to his name as against Pujara's 26. Perhaps the land of the Table mountain screamed out to attack. Why else would AB de Villiers, out of action from Test cricket for an year and with one four-day Test under his belt walk out to the middle with South Africa at 12/3 and bludgeon India’s bazigaar-in-chief, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, with outrageous shots on the off-side. That 17 run over virtually trumped every single one of Hardik Pandya's outrageous strokes. It was catching a situation by the scruff of its neck and pulling it so hard so as to tilt the balance of the game. The Superman was a master at it but despite his 360° skills, he is a conventional Test batsman. At Newlands he opted to go the counter-attacking way. When Ben Stokes walked out to bat at Newlands in January 2016, he was nothing more than a big hitting all-rounder. He wasn't touted to loft England from 167/4. But in the company of Johnny Bairstow, Stokes walked all over South Africa. Their 399 run association not only showed that the Durham all-rounder had arrived as a Gets cricketer but also underlined the importance of counter-attacking in Test cricket. The format is often talked about as the conventional one, where batsman are expected to show steely composure and tenacity. But sometimes, a detour from the ordinary is needed when the opposition boasts of a bowling attack that can decimate opposition with a mere glance. Stokes’ 258 came in a 198 balls and was studded with some outstanding shots all around the wicket. Bairstow didn't hold back either. The wicket-keeper batsman smashed a 150 at a strike rate of 75+ and their counter-attack did enough to push South Africa to a corner. Pandya may not be in the old school league of Test cricketers and may not even be called to the annual meetings of Test stars after his retirement (if ever there was one) but on Saturday he questioned the common notions, went against it and found success. If not for him, India would not even have been able to show that they meant business here in a land where they are yet to strike rich in terms of results.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0051.json.gz/line3005
