__label__cc	0.558854	0.441146	Glad To Be Gay – Tom Robinson Live at Abbey Road, 1998 Recorded live at Abbey Road studios, 28 March 1998 Released as ‘Glad to Be Gay 98’ on Live At Abbey Road [Castaway Club CCCDV5], 1998 https://gladtobegay.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/GTBGabbeyroad.mp3 [Lyrics new to this version are marked in bold] I’d like to play a single of mine that got to number eighteen in the British charts twenty years ago without any play on Radio 1, which is the BBC radio station here. The song is called Sing If You’re Glad To Be Gay, but to sing on the chorus you don’t necessarily have to be glad. The message of the song is be yourself, be proud of whoever you are and don’t let anyone tell you how to live your life. The British Police are the best in the world I don’t believe one of these stories I’ve heard ‘Bout them raiding our pubs for no reason at all And lining the customers up by the wall Picking out people and knocking them down Resisting arrest as they’re kicked on the ground Searching their houses and calling them queer I don’t believe that sort of thing happens here Sing if you’re glad to be gay Sing if you’re happy that way The papers in Britain are really the pits Commissioned by bigots and written by shits They plaster their pages with bingo and tits Then add all the scandal and slander that fits They pick out their victims, destroying their lives They smear as they sneer as they damn and despise If it’s paedophile teachers or lesbian nuns If it’s filth and it’s fiction it’s there in The Sun And now there’s a nightmare they blame on the gays It’s brutal and lethal and slowly invades The medical facts are ignored or forgot By the bigots who think it’s the judgement of God Attacked by the Vatican, bashed by the bill With cheap politicians all making a kill The message is simple and obvious, please Just lay off the patients and let’s fight the disease And sing if you’re glad to be gay For 21 years now I’ve fought for the right For people to love just whoever they like But the right-on and righteous are out for my blood Now I live with my kids and a woman I love Well if gay liberation means freedom for all A label is no liberation at all I’m here and I’m queer, and I do what I do And I’m not gonna wear a ‘straight’ jacket for you No – I say Sing if you’re happy this way The recording was broadcast live by Merlin Communications as part of their first birthday celebrations. Castaway Club was Tom’s fan club/information service, and the recording was issued as Volume 5 in the series of CDs for Castaway Club members. « previous version \| All versions \| next version » Site by SL Taylor	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0085.json.gz/line763
__label__wiki	0.874174	0.874174	The genetics of Crohn's disease in the Ashkenazi Jewish population Hui, Ken Yale University, New Haven, CT, United States Search 3 grants from Ken Hui Search grants from Yale University Integrative NMR and biophysical studies of fibrillar protein assemblies in health and disease Structure and regulation of the vacuolar ATPase THC effects on human implantation: role of trophoblast CB1 Transdermal Delivery of Iron Retinal Gene Therapy Program 34: Lung Cancer Inflammatory bowel disease, which affects 1.4 million Americans, is characterized by chronic intestinal inflammation and comprises two major subtypes, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Genetic factors are central to the heritability and pathogenesis of this disease. The Ashkenazi Jewish population exhibits a population prevalence of Crohn's disease that is 4.3 to 7.7-fold greater than in other European- ancestry populations. Findings from a recent Ashkenazi-specific genome-wide association study of Crohn's disease showed significant overlap with previously established association signals in a general European- ancestry cohort, suggesting a similar genetic structure for high-frequency disease-related variation. The combined effect of the associated loci, however, accounted for a proportion of heritability that was smaller in the Ashkenazim than in the non-Jewish cohort, leading us to hypothesize that the genetic etiology of the increased Crohn's disease prevalence in the Ashkenazi Jewish population is primarily driven by rare variants of moderate or large effect, which have to date been poorly assayed by genome-wide association scans. Specific aims : The research proposal comprises three specific aims. The first aim will combine data from our previous Ashkenazi-specific association study and new data from exome sequencing of Ashkenazi Crohn's disease patients in order to test novel variants for case-control association. We will also use bioinformatic and statistical analyses to select a subset of newly discovered variants for follow-up genotyping in a large Ashkenazi case-control cohort. The second aim will evaluate and modify methods for analyzing statistical association of rare functional variants and will apply these strategies to optimize the detection of novel association signals in the Ashkenazi Jewish genotype datasets from Aim 1. To estimate variants' functional impacts, this analysis will integrate multiple outside sources of data, including signatures of natural selection evolutionary conservation, biological networks, and modifications in transcription and amino acid coding. Our third aim will utilize whole-genome sequencing data to improve haplotyping and refine genetic evolutionary history. This will extend the disease-oriented analysis from Aim 2 to include compound heterozygosity and the molecular evolution of each variant. Since each aim employs a different dataset, progress on all three aims will be made concurrently. This project will not only help uncover the molecular etiology of Crohn's disease in the Ashkenazi Jewish population, but will potentially elucidate molecular mechanisms and pathways that generally contribute to disease pathogenesis in all patients. This may help to define new targets for the development of new treatments that will be effective for Crohn's disease patients of all ancestries. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Crohn's disease, which is characterized by inflammation primarily in the intestinal tract, has a strong genetic component and disproportionately affects individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish ethnicity. While much progress has been made in illuminating its genetic causes, traditional methods have incompletely explained the pathways leading to disease. This project will focus on Ashkenazi Jewish patients with Crohn's disease to detect rare genetic mutations within that group, gain insight into the mechanisms of the disease, and identify potential new therapeutic targets for patients of all ethnic backgrounds.

__label__cc	0.558337	0.441663	← Walking Dead 5.10 – Them Sleepy Hollow 2.18 – Tempus Fugit → Walking Dead 5.11 – The Distance Posted on February 23, 2015 by Laura Stone \| 14 Comments Is it just me, or does he look like a young Lorne Michaels? Previously: They meet a Jehovah’s Witnesses with Good News. The cleanest man in the Apocalypse is now in the hands of Sasha and Maggie. Or is he? Yeah, he is. Maggie brings Aaron back to the group, who all pull weapons because they’re smart. Judith starts to cry, and just like them sensing evil in Walmart (that’s why babies always cry inside one), she’s picking up on something. At least that’s what Rick thinks, compounded when he realizes they cleared a weapon—a flare gun—from New Guy. OHO. Sheriff asks about his nearby camp. “He wants us to ‘audition’ for membership,” Maggie says. UH. I was told there would be no jazz hands in the making of this apocalypse? Aaron: we have a community, and we think you guys could fit in? But I get it. You’re nervous. Here, see the treasures hidden in my pack! Treasures? Oh, they’re pictures, but Daryl has 0 fucks to give for those. Aaron gives a “people are what make us awesome. EVERYTHING is awesome where we live! So how about you guys—” Rick punches him out. Daryl smiles to himself, I laugh because oh, Rick. So paranoid and distrustful and KEEPING EVERYONE ALIVE (well, mostly. Save his wife and best friend and Jedi Mentor and Jedi Mentor’s singing daughter and…) Michonne questions Rick’s plan of attack in that he always seems to attack, but Rick thinks this guy and his “group” are after them and their precious resources. BECAUSE THAT IS HOW YOU SHOULD BE THINKING. FOLKS. Aaron, who I can’t help but say “Ay-Ay-Ron in my head a la Key & Peele, comes to, says he admires how smart they’re all being. Because it doesn’t really matter what he says, Rick is gonna think what he thinks, he gets it. [smile] It’s hard to trust anyone who smiles after being punched in the face. [slides out, waves hand:] PREE-SINT Ay-ay-ron’s group apparently admires that they’re still people as well as survivors. It’s the most important resource in the world! (Pretty sure that’s potable water, but hey, I’m just a professional pretend apocalypse survivor, what do I know?? Spoiler alert: everything.) Rick: …Yeah. So how many are there? Ay-ay-ron: [guitar riffs] Why don’t you come with me, little girl! On a magic carpet ride! Me: UH, THEY’VE SEEN CANNIBALS, AY-AY-RON. They can’t trust you! Never trust anyone who pulls out Steppenwolf! Or wears Lands End like he’s got a super busy Saturday of Bed, Bath & Beyond and maybe Lowe’s, who knows? Unfortunately, while Rick doesn’t believe him, Michonne does. And Maggie. (Shit.) Michonne will sacrifice herself for the sake of Judith, as well as for Glenn and Maggie. Rick is VERY unhappy, but sends Abraham and Rosita along to act as security, which is AWESOME. In 60 minutes, if there’s no word, Rick’s group will come after them. Which might be what Ay-ay-ron’s group wants. They leave Ay-ay-ron with Rick in the barn, and everyone files out. When Rick points his six shooter in his face, Ay-ay-ron says he worked in Africa, so he’s not scared of guns. UH. QUESTION: why are all the women wearing skintight pants? They’re not comfortable. Where are some loose-yet-close-fitting cargo pants with an elastic waist band? I’m just saying, it’s important to bend, kick and stretch without hitching up the back of your fashionable skinny jeans err-damn minute. Meanwhile, Rick is trying to smash up food for Judith, who is crying. Ay-ay-ron doesn’t want Judith crying because it will draw out Walkers, and if they go to his group, why, no one would ever be able to hear her cry from the MASSIVE, GIANT, SAFE walls keeping everyone inside! So as a show of good faith, he has some applesauce in his bag-o-tricks. How convenient! Rick makes Ay-ay-ron taste the food. Ay-ay-ron doesn’t like it, but ARE YOU KIDDING ME? You’re not going to save your ass and eat a food your gee-mom-mom made you dislike because she didn’t put enough sugar in it? Rick: Are you shitting me, bro? Ay-ay-ron: [makes a yucky face but eats it] Michonne still says Aaron is telling the truth as they walk up on the cars Aaron mentioned. Walkers come out of the woods and Rosita/Abraham dispatch them with ease. They check out the RV, find Sketti-Os, and we learn that Abraham will eat his weight in them, given the opportunity. (Wow would I hate to share a tent with him if he did.) They bring the RV’s food back to Rick, who says it’s all theirs, sorry, Ay-ay-ron. Michonne still says she believes Ay-ay-ron because she needs it. THEY need it. Daryl isn’t sure, but he could be convinced. Okay, if Daryl is joining team “Maybe” then it looks like they’re going. Well, Ay-ay-ron isn’t okay with not driving, so… MOTHER TRUCKER? COME ON. Rick: HOW DO YOU THINK YOU ARE IN A POSITION TO GIVE INSTRUCTIONS? Ay-ay-ron: Okay. North on Route 16, I’ll tell you the rest when we get there Rick: Not happening. We’re taking 23 just because. Ay-ay-ron: Oh, good! We’re all gonna die. Good thinking, cowboy. Rick: Dude, we’re gonna serpentine, I’m no dummy. Rick reminds Michonne that it was nice when they first approached Woodbury and Terminus, too. So. He’s just supposed to bring his family in? No. He’s gonna see first. SERPENTINE. Our group drives in the dead of night along route 23 with Ay-Ay-ron in tow, finding loads of license plates from all over in there. He has “pictures” of his house to show Michonne. Mmmm. CALLING BULLSHIT. I think they’re pictures he’s gathered, not unlike the license plates. MORE ON THIS AT THE END. She notices there are no pictures of anyone else. At all. She asks Rick if he asked him the Three Questions. SHIT. Come on, Sheriff!! In a panic while driving, she asks: How many Walkers? IDK? A lot? How many people? Two Why? Because they tried to kill me? And then Rick finds spy gear. OHO. He’s been listening to them? CAN’T FOCUS ON THAT, THEY HIT A HERD and that car acts as a batering ram, plowing through them. Important: why aren’t they using their damn wipers?? It’s a pretty bad ass shot, though. But seriously: RUN THE WIPERS. They stop the car, can’t find the RV—shit–and of course the law of averages mean the car won’t start back up. Michonne gets out, pulls arms/limbs from the engine to help out, and because this is TWD, it does. A flare shines in the sky, Ay-Ay-ron freaks out. “This is over, I have to go.” They all run after him in the woods towards where the flare was shot, making their way through stragglers from the main herd of Walkers. They lose Glenn, SHIT, who is almost caught but fights his way free, WHEW!! Seriously, no harming of Glenn Rhee, you hear me? A full moon means they should be able to get away with relative ease, all things considered. Glenn helps Ay-Ay-ron out of the clutches of a Walker, and attempts to go off on his own. That is, until Ay-Ay-ron drops the whole “we can all work together” thread. Awesome shot during this wooded escape: Rick shooting a flare into a Walkers skull, illuminating all the Walkers coming to kill him and Michonne, shit Rick is out of bullets and there’s too many for Michonne to handle alone. But random gunfire saves the day, aka Glenn and Ay-Ay-ron. They get to 16, which is empty, RICK. They push on, they get to a settlement, where someone (Ay-Ay-ron?)whistles a tune, which gets a reply. And then Carl, Daryl pour out of a building with hugs and smiles, it looks like I was wrong about this place! (I still don’t think so.) PROTIP: ESTABLISH SIGNALS FOR SAFETY AND DANGER, both vocal, visual, and physical such as handshakes, finger taps, whistles, arm movements, etc. Maybe make the DANGER signal something other than BUM BUM BUM! Ay-Ay-ron runs in to check his (lover? NICE!) Eric, who has a broken ankle, tended to by Maggie. This is just a stopping point, btw. That flare made Aaron think the worst. AWW. THEY’RE IN LOVE. And he really is collecting license plates! I think he’s collecting other things, too. MORE AT THE END. Rick meets with Eric briefly, but Ay-Ay-ron wants a group meeting. He thanks them for saving Eric, and says he owes them. And when they get to Alexandria, they’ll get paid in full. Can they camp out that night? Sure, but he can’t be with Eric. CONSTANT VIGILENCE! Rick shouts, spit in his beard. UH, THAT IS HIS APOCALYPSE HUSBAND AND HE WASN’T LYING, RICK. Glenn: Uh, dude. Bro. Eric has no weapon, is broken, and Ay-Ay-ron has no weapon. It’s gonna be okay. Rick: [stubborn] Glenn: Remember goodness? Look at Judith. See? Rick: Fine, but only because my baby represents hope and possibility. In the morning they all head out. Noah has painkillers and water for Aaron. Aaron says they have an awesome surgeon in Alexandria: maybe he can help Noah’s limp? HMM. I’m still suspsicious, because ultimately I agree with Rick. Gotta stay frosty, guys! Rosita points out Washington’s Memorial to Abraham as he mans the RV. It’s what they’ve been going for this whole time. (There’s a low voltage light showing.) But they can make it! Aaaaaaaand the battery dies. Glenn knows auto mechanicals and gets it working, so it’s all good. (So… why have this scene? Just a red herring of CRAP MORE DRAMA? I don’t get it.) Michonne wants Rick to let the fight go, but she knows it’s hard since it’s all that’s kept him going all this time. Michonne: It turns on you. You gotta let it go. Rick: That’s what Bob was trying to tell me back at the church. AND NOW HE’S DEAD. The rules keep changing. Rick peels off the group to bury a handgun out by an old rundown house, which seems way out of the way, but Rick hasn’t been wrong yet. They get to a massive gate surrounded by steel. They can hear children laughing, people chattering. It’s not the silence of Woodbury or Terminus. Michonne convinces him to move forward, get out of the car and go inside. What about that whole “No one will hear Judith crying inside?” thing? We can HEAR kids. Carol says to Rick as he gathers up Judith, “Even though you were wrong? You’re still right.” Because SHE KNOWS. She knows. I STILL TRUST THIS MAN, even though he looks like he could use some soap and a shave. WHAT ARE THEY GOING INTO?!!? IDK!! I still don’t trust it. Guys? Not gonna lie to you: I think it’s a recording. I think it’s ONLY Eric and Ay-Ay-ron, and they’re looking for capable people who aren’t cannibals to fill out their safe-house.

__label__cc	0.564541	0.435459	Making Peace with a Crypto Axis of Evil The following article originally appeared in Weekly, a custom-curated newsletter delivered every Sunday exclusively to our subscribers. If Venezuela’s oil-backed cryptocurrency succeeds – and that’s still a big if – it could portend a whole new use case for the technology: fundraising for rogue states. The world may just have to live with that. One of the defining aspects of cryptocurrency is neutrality. Bitcoin, ethereum and the like are open networks. They don’t discriminate. A public blockchain doesn’t care if you’re a Boy Scout or a convicted ax murderer. As long as you control the private keys to a bitcoin wallet, you control the funds in it, no passport required. (Setting up an account at a crypto exchange is a different matter.) That is financial inclusion, in the truest sense, though it’s not exactly what policy wonks have in mind when they use the term. Similarly, as long as you know how to code, you can contribute or build applications on top of bitcoin or ethereum, no Ivy League degree needed. That is permissionless innovation. It’s what allowed Sir Tim Berners-Lee to create the world wide web and Satoshi Nakamoto to invent bitcoin. And now it may allow Venezuela’s strongman president, Nicolas Maduro, to eat many more empanadas at his desk, and do who knows what else, as his nation reels from an economic crisis. A nebulous plan Stepping back, last week Maduro’s government claimed it had raised $735 million on the first day of a pre-sale of its cryptographic token, known as the petro, and revealed a number of other details about the project. Much remains unclear, including which network the coin will run on top of – some public documents say it’s NEM, others say ethereum. The coins are ostensibly backed by the country’s oil reserves, with their value somehow pegged to the previous day’s price per barrel in bolivars (so much for real-time). They’ll be legal tender and accepted for tax payments in Venezuela, according to the government, so in theory there’s a use case for local residents. Still, it’s hard to see any value proposition for outside investors in a token that’s controlled by a dictatorship. You could even argue that such a centralized set-up disqualifies the petro from being called a cryptocurrency in the first place. But, imagine for a moment that this scheme works. It could be an encouraging sign for other authoritarian regimes that have been cut off from the global financial system by economic sanctions. Already, Venezuelan officials have met with their Russian counterparts to discuss the petro, and, late last week, Iran revealed its own cryptocurrency plans. Now, it’s one thing for individuals or small business owners to use cryptocurrency to circumvent international sanctions. In such cases, it’s easy to root for the underdog, even when members of the Washington foreign policy establishment clutch their pearls. God forbid an Iranian shoemaker should be able to sell handmade footwear on the internet! Who’s in charge of this “bitcoin” anyway? Don’t they know financial intermediaries have a Responsibility to Society to make sure the shoemaker’s children starve? Why, for all we know, that merchant could be funding terrorism … one pair of wingtips at a time! The recent sanctions-skirting crypto projects, however, would enrich, not the citizens of these countries, but the repressive governments responsible for their pariah status. Which, as crypto critic Preston Byrne wryly noted on Twitter, doesn’t match up with the tech’s early libertarian rhetoric. Thoughts on Ethereum and the Petro pic.twitter.com/qLnpPODye3 — Preston Byrne (@prestonjbyrne) February 21, 2018 That’s the thing about open-source technology and permissionless networks, though. Not only can the tools fall into the wrong hands – the very idea of “wrong hands” is foreign. Choke points For an illustration, let’s take a quick detour to the U.S., where the latest mass shooting has made firearms a hot-button political issue. In a recent op-ed in the New York Times, Andrew Ross Sorkin argues that if Washington won’t put stricter controls on gun sellers, the nation’s financial institutions should do so, for instance by refusing to do business with retailers that sell assault weapons. This paternalistic idea would set a dangerous precedent, as my former colleague, American Banker editor-in-chief Rob Blackwell, warned in a response to Sorkin. But it’s also a helpful reminder of what sets apart cryptocurrency from the legacy financial system. Bitcoin doesn’t know or care what the purpose of a transaction is. Nodes and miners, blind to the identities behind alphanumeric addresses, can’t be shamed by the Andrew Ross Sorkins of the world into trying to control human behavior. That’s one of the main reasons bitcoin has value. Is this good or bad? You tell me, is fire good or bad? This much is clear: if banks took Sorkin’s advice and tried to choke off gun sales, bitcoin would probably rally. Then there’s the alleged “Nazi problem.” You’ve probably read about how extremist platforms like the Daily Stormer, shunned by mainstream payment processors, have turned to cryptocurrency as an alternative means to accept donations, and apparently got rich in the recent run-up. It goes without saying that these organizations’ words and ideas are despicable. But as long as they’re just words and ideas, not violent or criminal actions, what purpose did it serve to cut off their access to credit card payments? As free-speech advocates will tell you, the antidote to bad speech is not suppression, but more speech. Blackballing speakers you or I find offensive from financial services opens the door for banking to be weaponized against others that you or I may support. Fortunately, the existence of cryptocurrency blunts this weapon. Today it’s the neo-Nazis taking advantage of bitcoin’s neutrality, but tomorrow it may be [insert a publisher dear to your heart] who needs it. You’ll thank Satoshi when that happens. Returning to Venezuela, western governments could try to thwart the petro, or its Russian or Iranian equivalents, by, say, forbidding licensed exchanges to list the tokens or by blacklisting ethereum ERC-20 addresses that receive the tokens. (No airdrops, please!) But to the extent these projects really do function like cryptocurrencies, shutting them down may be impossible. That’s the hyperconnected world we live in today.

Apr 3, 2018 Horrific new video has shown six policemen using excessive force on the disability pensioner at his Preston home. The police went to John’s house after his psychologist called 000 about the man’s deteriorating health. There was, reportedly, no concern that he was violent and dangerous – the visit is what is called a “welfare check”. This is similar to what would occur if you were to call the police to check in on an elderly neighbour or a missing family member should they fail to respond to attempts of communication. John has a single minor assault conviction which dates back ten years. “I thought I was going to die,” John told 7.30. In the footage, which was obtained by Fairfax, police are seen dragging John from his front door after he yelled, swore and pleaded with them to leave him alone. John is recovering from back surgery, and was weaning himself off the pain medication. He was reportedly struggling with withdrawal, explaining to the police, “I’m alright, I’ve just gotta get through this”. Six policemen are seen in the video – filmed on John’s own security cameras that he installed after a past robbery. CCTV captured #police dragging a disability pensioner from his home, pinning him down and using capsicum spray on him. More tonight #abc730 pic.twitter.com/0oTWhEXxgZ — abc730 (@abc730) April 2, 2018 Five of the policemen are seen wrestling him to the ground, with one hitting him in the back of the leg repeatedly with a baton. Afterwards, they proceed to pepper spray him and one of the policemen is heard saying “you like that? You like that? Smells good, doesn’t it?” “Put your hands behind your f*ing back. Get your fing hands behind your f**ing back,” the police are seen yelling at John. “My back,” John screams as police hold him down. Later, one of the policemen grabs John’s garden hose and begins the spray water on him. He uses the high pressure setting and points it directly at his face. In the background, another policeman grabs his phone and begins to film the whole thing. Eventually, John stops fighting them and just sits there as he is sprayed. Speaking with the press this morning, Assistant Commissioner Luke Cornelius, who is acting head of Professional Standards Command, said that “Victoria Police has no tolerance for poor behaviour within its ranks,” “We want people to have absolute confidence that when they make a complaint against police, it will be investigated thoroughly and with integrity. “I acknowledge that there has been a diminution in confidence in our community in police complaint and accountability processes. It is clear to me that both Victoria Police and [Independent Broad-based Anti-Corruption Commission] need to do more to recover that confidence.” What do you have to say?

__label__cc	0.565562	0.434438	There is 1 item tagged: Frank Browning Worlds of Difference Kinvara: A Spirit of Place For much of the 20th century, the town of Kinvara, on Ireland’s west coast, was rich in charm but poor in just about everything else. Then the Celtic Tiger awoke. Today, Kinvara is crawling with developers and speculators. The boom has forced the townsfolk to ask tough questions about where they want their community to go. In 1973, when Liadain O’Donovan first showed me around the “west country” of Ireland, we joked that you’d find more black-cassocked priests on the roads than utility poles. There were fewer cars on the back lanes than horse-drawn carts. Thatched cottages seemed still to be the standard. And the region’s greatest export was its children. As late as the 1980s as many as two-thirds of Irish high school graduates emigrated to survive. Today, Ireland ranks as one of the ten richest countries in the world in per capita terms. Its economic growth rate is about 6 percent, unemployment is below 5 percent, its trade surplus is the highest in Europe. At the same time, the scandals of the 1990s, which revealed rampant child abuse by Catholic priests who until very recently ran nearly all the schools, have brought shame and massive disaffection from the Church. In the wake has come a radical transformation in everything having to do with daily life in Ireland. To travel these days through the west country, in Galway and Clare counties, is to see a mad dash of unregulated new construction – from gaudy block and brick two-stories to hives of holiday cottages lined out along the seaside slopes. The churches have not disappeared, but no longer is it conceivable that the priest could, with a single nod, block the sale of a field or a house to a prospective buyer deemed morally suspect. What diet fed the unrestrained growth of this so-called Celtic Tiger? By most analysis, it was the convergence of three forces: the collapse of Church control over nearly every element of public and private life; a near 100-percent literacy rate, which was possibly the church schools’ greatest contribution; and the arrival of a high-tech information industry in the early 1990s, which turned Ireland into the primary manufacturing and sales center for American personal computer production in Europe. Low manufacturing taxes and interest rates, combined with high language skills, lured American companies and stimulated enormous growth in service sector spending. Results? Dublin now claims the most expensive real estate in Europe, where a simple two-story, four-room frame and stucco house can go for $1 million. Houses in Kinvara go for half a million (Phil Moylan, the owner of Winckle’s pub there, recently rejected an offer of 1.2 million euros). Locals and tourists alike now eat out and demand better food—a pleasant change from the boiled potatoes and roasted lamb gristle of 30 years ago. But prosperity has not come without its price. Ireland now suffers the highest alcoholism rate in western Europe. The newspapers are full of stories about drunken brawls and highway deaths. And little towns like Kinvara query themselves endlessly about the fate of the famous land of artists and poets. – Frank Browning Themes: Economy, Culture Regions: Europe Media: Audio, Text Other Tags: Ireland, folk music	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0085.json.gz/line802

Hemp can be used to create furniture, roof tiles and even sustainable concrete. Image credit: Pixabay/ rexmedlen A cutting-edge refinery is processing specially bred hemp and researching innovative new biomaterials that could help build future eco-friendly homes. Hemp has some of the strongest fibres found in nature and was used for thousands of years to make clothes, ropes and ship sails. Then, with the invention of cheap petrochemical fibres, and later strict drug laws, hemp production mostly disappeared, until researchers figured out they could use it to make sustainable biomaterials, and even build houses. ‘Hemp is a multi-use crop,’ said Dr Stefano Amaducci from the Department of Sustainable Crop Production at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Piacenza, Italy. Building our homes, offices and basically any urban structure has made construction one of the most resource heavy sectors in Europe. It’s also very energy intensive, but a shift to biological raw materials and processing methods could save up to 2.5 billion tons of CO2 equivalents per year by 2030. To support the transition to a more resource-efficient and sustainable economy the European Commission's bioeconomy strategy aims to develop new bio-based technologies and processes. ‘The seed is used in animal feed and other food applications, while the stem is transformed through mechanical extraction into fibres and shives (the woody core of the stem) that have many purposes.’ For instance, if you combine hemp fibres and shives with adhesives you can create building materials that in turn could make furniture, roof tiles and even sustainable concrete. Dr Amaducci is the project coordinator of MultiHemp, an EU-funded project researching hemp as a renewable material, where one of the partners, CMF Technology, developed hemp biomaterials that can be used as walls and floors. ‘They mix hemp fibre with a patented material to create a 100 % natural material. They then use that to make the fibreboards which can be used to build the walls of a house.’ Another partner has developed a system where hemp fibres are blown into tight spaces between walls to act as insulation. Combine double hemp walls with a hemp roof and some hemp furniture, and you’ve got a biomaterial home that’s main raw material boasts a range of environmental benefits. ‘Hemp is a low-input crop,’ said Dr Amaducci. ‘It has a very strong root system so it can handle drought and requires only a small amount of nitrogen.’ This means that less water and fewer fertilisers are needed to grow the crop while farms can be set up in more arid areas. If more farms are established in areas with unused land, more carbon can then be captured from the atmosphere and put back into the malnourished soil. More hemp farms wouldn't mean an increase of marijuana production. Industrial hemp generally contains about 0.3 % to 1.5 % of THC (Tetrahydrocannabinoids, the intoxicating ingredients) compared to those species grown for marijuana, which can range from 15 % to 25 % or higher. The flowers in hemp production are normally used for cosmetics and pharamceuticals. Despite these many applications, as well as its environmental and economic benefits, hemp production is still very much a niche market. According to the European International Hemp Association, there was just 250 square km of land dedicated to growing hemp in 2015, in all 28 EU countries. That's a tenth the size of Luxembourg. And yet, from this, over 85 000 tonnes of hemp straw has been harvested and processed into 25 000 tonnes of fibre, 43 000 tonnes of shivs, which can be used as a biofuel, and 13 000 tonnes of dust, which can be used as biomass pellets and compost.

However, it’s not just hemp that can replace oil-based fibres, it’s also corncobs, oat, wheat bran and sawdust. The EU-funded EcoLASTANE project explored the production potential of an organic compound called furfural, which is derived from these materials as they decay. Oil-based polyester makes up 72 % of the fibres consumed in the industry, and the issue is the high levels of emissions and pollution associated with obtaining the raw materials for these fibres and then transporting, storing, handling and processing them. On the other hand furfural can be made by just heating and cooling biomass, which the EcoLASTANE project developed to transform this agricultural by-product into a new 100 % bio-based polyester textile fibre. ‘The final fibres produced from petrochemical or biological origin are almost identical. Precisely for that reason our bio-based synthetic textile fibres can make all the same products,’ said Francisco José Caparrós, the coordinator of EcoLASTANE. By the end of the project in early 2016 EcoLASTANE had developed demo products to showcase the potential of furfural fibres including bio-based polyester textiles for Raidlight, an outdoor clothes retailer. According to Caparrós, this approach will also help reduce costs for manufactures by avoiding fluctuations in the price of crude oil. ‘We aim to improve the safety, environmental protection and cost reduction in an existing value chain by introducing a product that we know would perform very well in it.’ MultiHemp EcoLASTENE	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0085.json.gz/line804

'Stay at home. Protect the NHS. Save lives.' And so it is once again. Monday's lockdown announcement, although belated, was absolutely right. But why must we protect the NHS? So that it can continue to tackle COVID, but also, equally, so that the NHS can carry on its life-saving work in every other area. We must protect the NHS to tackle COVID and help the NHS carry on its life-saving work in every other area Cancer research UK report that we will see 35,000 excess cancer deaths because of the Coronavirus pandemic. For every 2 people who have so far lost their lives due to COVID, another will unnecessarily lose their battle with cancer. Screenings and treatments are being cancelled, delayed and disrupted until it is too late. Usually, we see a 70:30 split between curative and palliative care. This year, it's 50:50. The answer is not to exhort our heroic frontline staff to work harder. It is not to carry on doing what we have always done, just doing it a little better. This requires some new thinking. As Chair of the Radiotherapy APPG, I met with Matt Hancock in October and asked him to back both Catch Up with Cancer's 6-point plan to boost radiotherapy services and the APPG's submission to the Comprehensive Spending Review. Thousands of people could have their lives lengthened, their lives saved and their families spared of unspeakable grief if we act urgently to boost cancer services. The Government must #CatchUpWithCancer and save lives. pic.twitter.com/l0rhKwkJkZ - Tim Farron (@timfarron) December 2, 2020 Radiotherapy is a clean form of cancer treatment. It does not affect immunity or open up a patient to infection. It therefore holds huge potential to boost cancer treatment services to 120% of pre-Covid capacity, the levels required to clear the backlog within 2 years. So, following the Spending Review on 25th November, there was a collective gasp of disbelief across the oncology and radiotherapy sector. It was baffling. There was no investment for, or no reference made to, COVID-safe radiotherapy treatment. The Government must act urgently to catch up with cancer Next week, I am meeting with the Under Secretary of State for Health, Jo Churchill, to remind her of the ever-increasing need for ring-fenced investment into radiotherapy services. Thousands of people could have their lives lengthened, their lives saved, their families spared unspeakable grief, if the Government acts urgently to catch up with cancer. But, most importantly, if you have even the slightest hint of a doubt that something might be wrong or unusual with any part of your body, the NHS is open to protect you.

Narrating the series is rapper Lil Kim whom we got a chance to speak to about her personal connection to the series and how it will impact viewers. “I speak about Brandi a lot,” Kim said, referring to Brandi Davis, one of the women featured this season who was known as a “Motor City drug boss” as a result of her ties to the Black Mafia Family and El Chapo. “I feel like we might’ve been in the same room a few times around the whole BMF movement and all of that stuff. I knew the guys so it’s, like, she probably was in the room with us a couple times.” Throughout the episodes in the series, which is executive produced by Arthur Smith and Frank Sinton of A. Smith & Co. Productions, along with Judge Greg Mathis, personal interviews with the “trap queens” and their friends and family detail their rise and fall in the crime world. The stories take viewers from the women’s childhoods through the ups and downs of their criminal activity, which spans drug trafficking, money fraud, and grand larceny, to their moment of redemption on the other side of the law. “What I liked is she never stopped persevering. Even at the end, you can tell, she looks like she’s destined to be someone,” Kim said of Davis. “Everybody has a past. You can’t be judged on your past but you make the decision to become a better person ultimately, you know what I mean? And I like that most of the girls have made the decision to become a better person.” Another standout story from season two is that of Dwen Curry, a trans woman whose wire fraud scams landed her behind bars in a man’s prison which brings about an additional set of problems. “In my industry, I’ve grown up around trans women. Even before the industry, I had a lot of LGBTQ friends and trans people that I knew,” Kim explained. “Aside from the hardships of life, they’re dealing with other hardships because of who they are and that’s something that touched me and I know a lot of my friends are going to love that episode.” Check out our full conversation with Kim in the video above as she talks about persevering through the pandemic and how she takes care of herself and her daughter. The first five episodes of season two of American Gangster: Trap Queens are now available on BET+.

__label__cc	0.713692	0.286308	May 29: Michael Pollan on Psychedelics The Forrest Four-Cast: May 22, 2018 Bestselling author Michael Pollan believes that you are what you eat. Throughout his career, he has studied and written about the things people put into their bodies and how that impacts their health and life, notably with the books “Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual” (2009) and “In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto” (2008). His philosophy is often condensed to: “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” Now he has turned his attention another class of ingested substances: psychedelic drugs. In his latest book, “How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence,” released on May 15, Pollan brings his well-honed investigative and descriptive skills to the medical and scientific explorations around psychedelic drugs — and shares intimate stories of his own life-changing psychedelic experiences. As a self-proclaimed “square,” Pollan says that the book grew out of his reporting for a 2015 New Yorker article about psychedelic psychotherapy. “I interviewed a number of cancer patients who, in the course of a single guided session on psilocybin, had such a powerful mystical experience that their fear of death either faded or vanished altogether,” he writes. His clear-eyed book surveys the world of psychedelics — LSD, psilocybin, Ayahuasca and 5-MeO-DMT — their history in America and the latest research into how, in particular, LSD and psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) are being used to provide relief to people suffering from conditions such as depression, addiction and anxiety. Pollan also reveals his own deeply personal discoveries of the impact of tripping. “What began as a third-person journalistic inquiry ended up a first-person quest to learn what these medicines had to teach me about not only the mind but also my mind, and specifically about the nature of spiritual experience. This book has taken me places I’ve never been — indeed, places I didn’t know existed,” writes Pollan. He’ll speak in Austin at 7 pm Tuesday, May 29, at Central Presbyterian Church, sponsored by BookPeople. Tickets are $31 and include a copy of “How to Change Your Mind.” Tickets and more info can be found here. This is a subject near and near to the psyche of bestselling author and current Austin resident Tim Ferriss. The founder of the 4-Hour Workweek probed the science, mysteries and future of psychedelics at SXSW 2018 in a conversation with Dr. Roland R. Griffiths, a clinical pharmacologist from John Hopkins University School Of Medicine. Dr. Griffiths has been researching mood-altering compounds for more than 40 years and he and his colleagues have been leaders in the recent re-initiation of research with psychedelic drugs, which had been blocked for several decades. Ferriss and Griffiths offered details and stories that could help both novice and experienced psychonauts gain a better understanding of the applications of these incredible compounds.

Sometimes called crystal ice caves, these rare and picturesque natural wonders have been appearing more and more on Instagram and Facebook, and can look like something from another planet! Although the photos are stunning, I’m happy to report that the experience is even more impressive in real life. Let’s dive right in and find out more about Iceland’s blue ice caves, and how you can experience them for yourself… Go for the Glacier “Ice cave” is a rather broad term, and can include any regular bedrock cave where patches of ice, icicles, or other ice formations can be found. Glacier ice caves, on the other hand, form inside—you guessed it—glaciers. This is an important distinction, because those incredible images you see of brilliant, translucent aquamarine ice caverns are glacier caves. And lucky for us, Iceland is home to some pretty amazing glaciers! How are Blue Ice Caves Formed? Most glacier caves have water to thank for their existence. Water melts on the glacier’s surface, enters the ice at a crack or moulin, and trickles down through the glacier before exiting at base level. The water gradually erodes the ice and causes more melting, which enlarges the cavitation over time. In the spring and summer, the sun and warmer temperatures cause accelerated melting, and powerful flows can carve out impressive caverns and tunnels. In the fall and winter, the colder temperatures re-freeze and stabilize the caves. This yearly cycle means that the glacier caves are constantly changing and transforming- the same ice cave will be distinctly different from one year to the next, and more subtle changes can be noticed even by visiting the same cave several times in a season! Sometimes glacier caves form due to geothermal activity, and there are a few great examples of this in Iceland. In this process, geothermal heat from volcanic vents or hot springs carve out caves in the ice. Some ice caves in the Vatnajökull glacier were formed this way. Iceland’s Blue Ice Caves There are many blue ice caves to choose from in Iceland, with new ones forming (and others disappearing) due to the thaw-freeze cycle each year. Some of the most popular ones now are: The Katla Ice Cave in the Kötlujökull Glacier Caves within Europe’s largest glacier, Vatnajökull Ice caves within Europe’s second largest glacier, Langjökull Naturally formed ice caves and tunnels of Svínafellsjökull Click here to see our wide selection of ice cave tours. When and How to Visit Iceland’s Glacier Caves You’ll need to plan ahead for your ice cave visit, since they can only be visited for about four months of the year. From mid-November to mid-March, temperatures are cold enough that the caves are stable and can be explored, and the best months are usually January and February. During the rest of the year, meltwater will be at work, making its way through the glacier and creating the next winter’s caverns. Though it might sound interesting to try and observe this process up close, please don’t attempt it- it’s not safe! And speaking of safety… The most important rule for visiting Iceland’s glacier caves is to never, never go in alone! You must join a tour with an experienced guide. The glacier caves are complex structures with lots of little features that can be easily missed by the untrained eye. Your tour guide will provide you with the necessary safety gear and help you avoid any missteps, like falling into a hard-to-spot crevasse, never to be seen again! You’ll make it safely into the ice cave and back out again, with incredible memories and photos to share with friends and family. Dressing for the Ice Caves Since you’ll be visiting during the coldest months (and surrounded by ice!) you’ll want to be sure you dress appropriately. I recommend layers, starting with a good wool or blended fabric, followed by a layer of fleece and then a light, waterproof jacket. A sturdy, waterproof pair of boots with some grip, warm wool socks, and a hat and gloves will keep you comfortable as you explore the icy caverns. The weather can be unpredictable and sometimes the ice caves are wet and dripping, so it’s not a bad idea to bring waterproof protection for your camera, as well. Final Notes About the Blue Ice Caves of Iceland Your visit to Iceland’s crystalline blue ice caves will be unforgettable and totally one-of-a-kind. Since the glacier caves are in constant transformation, you’ll be experiencing a unique moment in history that won’t be repeated. How cool is that? If you have any questions, just reach out to us!

__label__wiki	0.596074	0.596074	California State University System UPDATE: InterVarsity is Back on Campus at CSU June 19, 2015: CSU has agreed to allow InterVarsity's 23 chapters to once again become recognized student organizations on the 19 CSU campuses where they are active. “Following substantive and cordial conversations, CSU has clarified the intent and reach of Executive Order 1068," said InterVarsity president Jim Lundgren. “As a result, we are confident we can choose leaders who are qualified to InterVarsity's witnessing communities throughout the Cal State system." “In a time where much of the public discourse is polarized, InterVarsity and CSU remained engaged, honest and respectful throughout the negotiations," he added. "While we are grateful to have resolved the issue with CSU, InterVarsity continues to believe that all comers policies will result in the exclusion, rather than inclusion, of diverse students from campus.” More information can be found in the news release posted on InterVarsity's website and in the links below to news coverage of the resolution. In 2011, shortly before retiring, the chancellor of the California State University system issued a new policy that requires recognized student groups to accept any student as a potential leader. InterVarsity's chapter leaders are required to affirm InterVarsity's Doctrinal Basis. While we applaud inclusivity, we believe that faith-based communities like ours can only be led by people who clearly affirm historic Christian doctrine. In August 2013, the new chancellor, Timothy White, granted religious groups a one-year exemption for the 2013-14 school year. The exemption was not renewed for the 2014-2015 school year, which meant all 23 of the CSU InterVarsity chapters operated without the benefits of official recognition. The response to the policy from various media was overwhelmingly negative toward the policy and in support of InterVarsity's position, as represented by the following links.

__label__cc	0.700665	0.299335	The Farmers' Agitation - Indica news Justice Markandey Katju, Prof. Solomon Darwin, Spotlight November 29, 2020November 29, 2020 indica Markandey Katju- Justice Markandey Katju is a former Judge, Supreme Court of India, and former Chairman, Press Council of India. The views expressed are his own. Farmers have marched from Punjab towards Delhi against the three farmers laws recently passed by the Indian Parliament, with the slogan ‘ Dilli chalo ‘ ( march to Delhi ) and have reached the Delhi border, despite several impediments by the Haryana police. Farmers of some other states too have joined the agitation. The Union Home Minister Amit Shah has now offered talks with the farmers on all issues, even earlier than 3rd December, which was the date earlier proposed for talks by the Union Agriculture Minister, Narendra Singh Tomar. The agitating farmers would be well advised to accept this offer. It is true that Indian farmers have some genuine grievances, the principal one being that they do not get adequate remunerative prices for their products. They are also apprehensive that the new laws may be detrimental to their interests and place them at the mercy of certain corporates. However, I submit with respect in every struggle there is a time to advance, and a time for talks or to retreat the path of agitation they have adopted will be unwise if continued any further. By the agitation so far they have made their point, but now it is time for talks with the Central Government. The agitating farmers must understand one thing: there is a principle of administration that the government must never succumb to pressure, for if it does, it will be perceived as weak, and then more demands and pressures will come. So if the farmers think that by this agitation they will make the govt buckle down and surrender totally, they are mistaken. The government, through the Union Home Minister, has offered talks with the farmers on all issues, and it would now be best for them to accept this offer. No doubt the earlier talks failed, but there is no harm in making another attempt. Talks after the Korean War between the USA and China, and between USA and North Vietnam, failed several times, but ultimately led to a successful compromise. The same may happen here. The farmers’ organizations have rejected the Union Home Minister’s offer of talks saying that it is conditional on the agitating farmers, who are presently gathered in several places, shifting to an open ground at Burari. This condition was perhaps made by the Home Minister as the farmers were blocking several roads, causing public inconvenience. In my opinion, the Home Minister should not insist on this condition as long as roads were not blocked. I fear that rigid intransigence and obduracy on the part of the agitating farmers may only result in violence, as happened on Bloody Sunday in St Petersburg in January 1905, or in Vendemiare in Paris in October 1795, when the mob was dispersed by a ‘whiff of grapeshot’ from Napoleon’s cannons.

Organizers of the flotilla, who had hoped to break the Gaza blockade, call it murder of civilians. The killings spur international condemnation. Pro-Palestinian activists from Turkey hold a news conference on board the Turkish ship Mavi Marmara as part of a humanitarian convoy. (Reuters / May 31, 2010) Reporting from Jerusalem — Israeli naval ships seized control of a protest flotilla carrying humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip on Monday, killing at least 10 people and sparking widespread international condemnation. Israeli television, citing foreign media reports, said the death toll could be as high as 16. “The images are certainly not pleasant. I can only voice regret at all the fatalities,” Trade and Industry Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer told Israel’s Army Radio. The raid set off a storm of international protest and drew condemnations from leaders of Spain, Sweden, France, Germany, the U.N., the European Union and Arab League. But after some initial expressions of regret, Israeli officials Monday came out strongly in defense of the raid, characterizing the protesters as hard-core extremists who had prepared an ambush for soldiers. Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon called the flotilla an “armada of hate and violence” that launched a “premeditated and outrageous provocation.” He said Israeli soldiers found evidence that “weapons” had been prepared in advance, but he did not specify whether those weapons included guns. Israel’s military said protesters managed to grab two guns from Israeli soldiers and use them against the commandos, prompting soldiers to return fire. Greta Berlin, leader of Free Gaza, one of the flotilla’s organizers, called those claims “absurd.” “This was murder,” Berlin said in a telephone interview from Cyprus. The six-vessel flotilla, packed with hundreds of international activists, food and other humanitarian supplies, had left Cyprus on Sunday night in an attempt to break Israel’s longstanding blockade of the Gaza Strip. Israel had vowed to intercept the boats, by force if necessary, and tow them to the Israeli port of Ashdod, where passengers would be arrested or deported. According to an Israeli commando, speaking on condition of anonymity, he and other Israeli soldiers who rappelled onto the boat from a helicopter were immediately attacked by about 30 people on board. “They beat us up with metal sticks and knives,” he said. “There was live fire at some point against us. … They were shooting at us from below deck.” He said activists tossed some of the soldiers from the top deck to the lower deck and the soldiers jumped in the water to save themselves. Activists grabbed some soldiers and tried to hold them hostage, stripping them of their helmets and equipment, he said. Ten Israeli soldiers were wounded, two seriously, the military said. Protest organizers said the nighttime raid on the Turkish-flagged Mavi Marmara, the flotilla’s largest vessel with 600 passengers, occurred in international waters more than 40 miles off shore. Video released by television crews onboard and a live Internet signal transmitted from the boat show armed and masked Israeli soldiers rappelling from helicopters onto the boat and being attacked by passengers with iron clubs. Berlin said the activists were acting in self-defense after soldiers opened fire. “People had the right to defend themselves against soldiers armed with machine guns,” she said in a telephone interview from Cyprus. The group had been unable to reach passengers since the attack occurred because the Israeli military had blocked telephone signals, she said. “They can spin it any way they want. We’re the civilians, and they are the military.” According to Berlin, flotilla organizers hoped to bring international attention to Israel’s Gaza blockade and expected a confrontation, “but we never expected this kind of violence.” The group had launched nine previous ships to Gaza, and five were permitted to pass to the territory after being searched by the Israeli navy. Protest organizers described a chaotic early-morning takeover in international waters. Berlin earlier told Israel Radio that the confrontation was broadcast live from a Turkish boat participating in the flotilla. The footage, she said, clearly showed Israeli soldiers opening fire on civilians. “The minute their feet hit the deck, they started to shoot,” Berlin said. She added, “Something happened to your country to make it think it is all right” to shoot civilians. Israel Defense Force sources told Ynet, a popular Hebrew-language website, that the “organizers were not innocent — they demonstrated violence against the soldiers. They were prepared for their arrival.” Israeli radio military analyst Yoav Limor blamed the military for underestimating the resistance it would encounter. “There was serious violence” that forced the soldiers to open fire, he said. But condemnation was wide and swift. Protests against Israeli embassies in Jordan and Turkey erupted, and Greece canceled a planned joint military training exercise in protest. Reaction from Turkey, whose citizens were among the dead, was particularly harsh, warning of “irreparable” harm to Israeli-Turkish relations. Turkey recalled its ambassador from Israel and warned of further actions. Israel’s counter-terrorism bureau urged its citizens not to travel to Turkey as a security precaution. Turkey was once one of Israel’s only Muslim allies in the region, with close economic and military ties. But over the last 18 months, their relationship has soured, particularly after Israel’s 2008-09 military assault on the Gaza Strip. Israel has accused Turkey of shifting its loyalty toward Iran. Israel put its security forces on alert in case of demonstrations by the nation’s Arab minority. Leaders huddled to prepare the government’s response to the criticism both internationally and from Palestinians and Israel’s Arab minority. In the Gaza Strip, hundreds of people protested, and Hamas leaders called upon Muslims around the world to demonstrate. Among the injured was Raed Salah, a firebrand Arab Israeli who heads the northern faction of the Islamic Movement of Israel and enjoys strong support among Arab Israelis. “It’s a crime,” said Arab-Israeli lawmaker Ahmad Tibi. “Israel feels it lives above international law and can do whatever it wants.” He called for a lifting of the Gaza siege and prosecution of any military commanders who authorized the shootings of the activists. Ayalon accused some of the protesters of having links with terrorist groups, including Al Qaeda, and defended the boat’s seizure. “Allowing these ships to go in an illegal way to Gaza would have opened a corridor of smuggling arms and terrorists to Gaza,” he said. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is on a trip to Canada and was scheduled to travel to the U.S. for a White House meeting with President Obama, is considering cutting the trip short and returning to Israel. A White House spokesman Monday expressed regret at the loss of life and said the U.S. was investigating the circumstances of the attack. Flotilla organizers said they were carrying first-aid supplies and medical professionals in the event of casualties, but Adam Shapiro, the husband of one flotilla leader, said that “we thought that the possibility that Israeli soldiers would shoot” was remote. Israel says the blockade of Gaza, which is controlled by the armed Palestinian group Hamas, is needed to combat terrorism. It’s not the first time activists have attempted to break the Israeli blockade. Previously, protest ships have been turned back, escorted to Israel or allowed to pass through to Gaza. But the current flotilla, organized by Free Gaza and other pro-Palestinian advocacy groups, presented a greater challenge due to the sheer number of people — as many as 800 — taking part. edmund.sanders@latimes.com Batsheva Sobelman of The Times’ Jerusalem bureau contributed to this report.

It may not have its own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but we all know Jewish food deserves more than just 15 minutes. Grab a plate—we’ll share recommended pairings—and a comfy seat on the couch to stream the following films and shows starring our favorite foods. Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’s Famous Brisket Midge Maisel wins people over in two ways: laughs and brisket. In the hit Amazon series, Jewish American housewife Midge Maisel lives in New York City during the late 1950s and 60s. Her famous brisket appears several times in the show, snagging her husband some prime comedy stage time and curing her homesickness while touring with comedian Shy Baldwin. Claimed to be magic and “the reason the Angel of Death spared us” on Passover, Midge’s brisket is one of many Jewish elements to the show. Amazon shared the recipe for Midge’s Famous Brisket, but you can also make a Moroccan-Style Brisket with Dried Fruit and Capers or Joan Nathan’s favorite brisket to eat while watching the show. “I’m buying it a sash and a crown,” Midge says about her brisket and we have to agree—brisket is always a winner for dinner. A Sex and the City Shabbat In season six of Sex and the City, Charlotte is dating a Jewish man named Harry. She’s head over heels in love, having gone so far as to convert to Judaism and nail a mezuzah to her doorway. Determined to start her first Shabbat with an engagement, she prepares an elaborate meal of challah, matzah ball soup and brisket. This is sadly overshadowed by a baseball game on TV her boyfriend won’t stop watching. Instead of ending the meal with a ring on her finger, Charlotte ends up single, without a boyfriend or her TV. Counter Charlotte’s Shabbat disaster with your Shabbat success. Make a classic braided challah, homemade gefilte fish, smoked matzah ball soup and apple cake for a comforting New York-inspired Shabbat dinner. The Sturgeon Queens: Russ and Daughters Russ and Daughters is Jewish food landmark in New York City. The lox-and-herring emporium has gone through the hands of four generations of a Jewish immigrant family since it first opened in 1914. To commemorate its 100th anniversary in 2014, The Sturgeon Queens premiered to tell the story behind the legendary store. The documentary narrates the life of the founder, Joel Russ, a poor immigrant from Eastern Europe who sold herring from a pushcart before opening his store on the Lower East Side. Interspersed with interviews from famous fish lovers, including Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and actress Maggie Gyllenhaal, the film is narrated in the style of a Passover seder with six longtime fans of the shop. It’s impossible to watch the documentary without craving smoked fish, but luckily, we’ve got some favorite recipes you can make to snack on while watching The Sturgeon Queens. Plan in advance, and you can make your own homemade beet-cured lox or gravlax. You can also make carrot lox for a vegan substitute. If you’d rather purchase smoked fish, put it on top of some dough for a Smoked Salmon Pizza. Grab some bagels and coffee, and you’ve got a brunch spread worthy of Russ and Daughters. Of course, you can always watch an episode of Seinfeld for a Jewish food reference (an exhaustive list can be found here). With many more days ahead of us to stay home and watch TV, what’s more comforting than your favorite Jewish foods both on the screen and on your table? Photo by Jennifer Burk on Unsplash Judith Rontal Judith Rontal hails from wintry Ann Arbor, Michigan, where she grew up in a family that always managed to eat dinner together. She’s continued that connection between food, family and culture in her blog, Aluminum Foiled Kitchen, and in her daily life in DC. When not in the kitchen working on a new recipe, you can find Judith sweating it out at yoga or on the Rock Creek Park trails.

Eight integrin heterodimers α3β1, α4β1, α5β1, α8β1, avβ1, αvβ3, αvβ6, and αIIbβ3 can bind to FN. However, embryos deficient in each of these integrins exhibit less severe defects than do FN- null embryos, raising questions as to which integrin(s) are the key FN receptors for these early FN-dependent processes, α5β1 is believed to be the key receptor and α5-null embryos display mesodermal defects similar to, although less severe than, those of FN-null. Here we report that the α5-null mutation exhibits a more severe phenotype on a 129Sv (129) than on a C57BL/6 (B6) background, as does the FN-null mutation. While α5-null/B6 embryos develop normal headfolds, α5-null/129 embryos have headfold defects similar to those of FN-null. The differences between FN-null and α5-null embryos, however, cannot be attributed to genetic background. FN-null embryos never form somites, whereas in α5-null/129 embryos the somites do condense but fail to epithelialize. Second, we examined double mutants carrying all possible pairwise combinations of null mutations in α3, α4, and α5 integrin genes. There was no evidence for any synergy between paired mutations, suggesting that these integrin genes do not have overlapping functions during early embryonic development. Finally, we examined double- mutant embryos deficient in both α5 and αv integrin genes. These double- mutant embryos have an amniotic defect similar to that of FN-null embryos, but die even earlier with a defect in gastrulation. These studies thus revealed a gradation in the severity of defects in the mutations α5(-/-); αv(-/-) > FN(-/-) (129) > FN(-/-) (B6) > α5(-/-) (129) > α5(-/-) (B6), and in each step in this series there is a certain degree of phenotypic overlap, suggesting that the defects arising from these mutations may result from disruptions of the same embryonic process.

__label__wiki	0.662434	0.662434	How to Fly in "Counter-Strike" By Seth Amery Enabling the ability to fly in "Counter-Strike" lends all sorts of new benefits to the game. For example, you'll be able to hoist yourself up to the skies and rain firepower down upon your enemies. To use this ability, you'll need to enable the console and use the "noclip" command. Open your Steam client and switch to the Games tab if it doesn't load by default. Locate "Counter-Strike" or "Counter-Strike: Source," depending on the edition you play. Right-click the game to open a submenu, selecting "Properties" to open a dialog box. Click the "Set Launch Options" button on the first tab. Type in "-console" without the quotation marks, clicking "OK" to save your changes. Boot the game to the main menu. Click "Options" when you reach the main menu. In this menu, switch to the Keyboard category and select the "Advanced" button to open a new box. Mark the box beside "Enable developer console." Save your settings, and you can now press the tilde key (~) at any time to open a console overlay in either game. Press the tilde key and type "noclip" without the quotation marks. Press the "Enter" key to activate the command. When you enter a game on a server that allows it, you won't be bound to the restrictions of gravity or solid physics. Press the spacebar repeatedly to keep leaping into the air; since you're not bound to gravity, you won't fall back down, so pressing the key just makes you rise higher into the air until you reach the map's apex. Using noclip lets you pass through walls like a ghost, which means you can be in the wrong place when returning to normal; make sure you're near normal ground when you disable the cheat. If you don't like the console attached to the tilde key or use a keyboard that doesn't have this key, you can change the key that opens the console (see Resources). Remember that this console command is considered a cheat. That means you can't use it on servers that use anti-cheat measures.

Recorded at Crawford’s Admiral Bean Studio in Loxley, AL, the album contains ten original compositions by founding group members Justin Patterson and Laura Lynn Danley. Additional musical contributions to the album were made by Crawford and 2020 Arkansas CMA “Guitarist of The Year” nominee, Buddy Case. Summoning traditional Americana with subtle nods to other roots influences, Ten Penny Gypsy offers a free-and-easy album that thematically explores “the uncertainties of separation”, while developing the duo’s signature vocals with rich and imaginative instrumentation. If it’s true that revelry and optimism summoned by passion, as well as love, can imbue music with a sense of power and buoyancy, then on “Fugitive Heart”, Ten Penny Gypsy proves that the antipodes of those sentiments can do the same. Regardless of each singular topic, the entire album is brimming with vibrant energy and upbeat rhythm. It actually opens with three minute’s worth of heartfelt singing on “Making Headway”, against a backdrop of clean strummed guitars that comes with sweet harmonies, a Lap steel and a swinging drum beat. It’s all about the need to keep working on a relationship right until the end. “Brick by brick, who laid that first brick? Who laid that first brick? Gotta stop building that wall before it’s too tall,” sings Laura Lynn Danley in “Brick By Brick”. It is a call to break though communicative barriers, before it’s too late. A common situation in many relationships gone bad. Photos by Laura Justin The title track, “Fugitive Heart” is almost a consequence of the previous song. “Now the deed is done. The time has come, I must be on my way. I’ve got a smoking gun, and echoes I’ve left along love’s lost highway,” sings Justin Patterson. The soundtrack is wistfully awash with organic guitars, piano and strings. The vocals and harmonies, as usual, are sublimely beautiful. “Highway 65” is another mid-tempo gem, with it soulful and mellifluous vocals, rich in imagery and nuance. Patterson’s resonant tones and Danley’s ability to sustain a note are in full evidence here. The duo’s harmonies, matching their very different vocals, are heard to superb effect, as on all the tracks they are performed on. “I am weary, I am worn, and I’m just beyond the storm. The faintest of light shining down,” belts out Laura Lynn Danley on “Lovely Melancholy”. The song will immediately remind listeners of a musical era uncluttered by overproduction and dominated by home-grown soulful performances. Ten Penny Gypsy’s contribution to their genre is the duo’s ability to not only use Americana’s roots but also ensure the legacy is musically active, and infused into whatever other stylings they may eventually venture towards, like the bluesy “Road to Memphis”. This song will no doubt provoke involuntary head nodding and toe-tapping. Patterson and Danley’s vocals once again form rich striking harmonies on “Lonesome No More”, which rides on a relentless chugging momentum. Ten Penny Gypsy’s ability to subtly blend harmonies, reaches a stupendous quality in the heartfelt “Train Won’t Wait For Me”. “Running down the back road, there’s a place I’ve got to be. I’ve a need to go much faster, the train won’t wait for me.” “Your True You” provides an unadulterated take of classic Americana without sounding conventional or uniformed. Ten Penny Gypsy’s harmonizing embodies intensity that melds into tranquility, as they advise that time is a healer of afflictions: “Though your life looks like an hourglass. Sitting there watching time pass. If you’ll hold on ’til the morning light. Everything is gonna be alright.” Ten Penny Gypsy and the musicians involved in the recording of “Fugitive Heart”, are uniformly excellent, while the production by Anthony Crawford is superbly balanced and open, which allows plenty of room for the players and singers to express themselves. Together, they have tried to capture the vibrant performances of Ten Penny Gypsy in as much as a studio setting will allow. And succeeded blissfully!

LoveUSA sadly not many people take to the streets. Japanese society is so passive. good on them Wottock_Hunt Blimey, that's some sour-faced women there. Good to see someone kicking up a bit of a noise, though. Though even here it seems it's necessary to add kawaii characters to the point they're trying to make. Agitator 1: Right sisters, we're gathered here to protest government inaction, fiscal stagnation and threats to our jobs. Agitator 2: Very well, Sister Yamaguchi, I'm going to need embroidery figurines of a tiger, a mouse, a cute little bunny rabbit and a lickle monkey. illsayit Agitator3; Ill need the money and time to create it all as well Fancy protesting the governments inaction with a whole lot of action that will only have zero results Those moo-cow pyjamas used to be quite popular with the kiddies. Not often you see them in grown-up sizes, but being all-in-ones I imagine they're very warm in winter. "the government's inaction on the economy" As if the government has some magical power to create a booming economy. For God's sake, don't depend on the government for stuff. No, you're probably right Sarge. That's what democracy's all about, eh? The Freedom to say nothing and do as you're told. Yep, that smells worth fighting for. kwatt Today is Sunday, day-off! Nobody wants to demonstrate on streets. People prefers to enjoy time at other places. Government is doing something on economy for people but LDP's action is just too slow to decide and proceed. sadly most people will be trying to recover from yet another sleep-deprived weep, so i assume these are housewife types. in which case double thumbs up to them for resisting the mundanity and making a stand some14some Looks like UNIQLO ad, festive mood, celebrating spring season ! SushiSake3 I think they are supposed to be cows. Betzee The banner they are holding looks like a story quilt, used by non-literate cultures except this one includes a written narrative. Note the bear with the arrow pointing to the character for "out" (used to mark exits in buildings). I can't read the rest. fordtuff Oh the irony ! Years ago the Japanese government interfered in US shipments of American beef citing one ridiculous reason after another. The result was the shutting down of a multi billion dollar industry affecting ranchers, distributors, and restaurants on both sides of the pacific. Now the Japanese have taken to the streets to moan and complain about the state of their economy. Gee, I can think of thousands of jobs basically eliminated, downsized, or negatively interfered with here in Japan. In this world you reap what you sow ! You gotta sleep in the bed you make. Sorry Japan, your government is a reflection of you the people, myopic, distant, and selfish. Deal with it ! Moo ! Philmoscowitz Dear Japan Today, It would be nice if you could give more of an explanation to go along with this photo than simply, "A group protests the government’s inaction on the economy and job issues in Ginza." Who are these people? Do they belong to an organization? Why are they wearing cow kigurumi outfits? もう我慢も限界、みんな出番だよ mo- gaman mo genkai, minna deban da yo means Right, we've had enough, now it's our turn. The little chicken is saying コケコッコー、もうケッコウ　（kokekokko, mo- kekko) translates as Cockadoodle doo, that's quite enough, but loses the cuteness of the animal sounds. The placard round the neck of the lady on the left says, 均等待遇を実現しろ kinto taigu wo jitsugen shiro - We want equal pay. Cleo, Thanks! I could get the gist from the kanji, but thanks for the complete narrative. Philmoscowitz - I think they're dressed as cows because 2009 is the Year of the Ox (the animals on the banner are the 12 animals of the calendar, and Betzee's bear is a dog), plus the sound the cow makes (mo- in Japanese) is also the sound Japanese people make when they want to complain. Yes, Cleo, you're right. The animals are all in the lunar zodiac (including the dragon). the sound the cow makes (mo- in Japanese) is also the sound Japanese people make when they want to complain. And don't I know it... isthistheend Hey Fordtuff, nice post. Cleo, I'm going to download this photo. From time to time I've been involved in developing tests to assess cultural competency along the lines of "what do you see going on in this photo?" There's a lot here, enough to rank the responses on a scale. They look like those part-timer's who work at a Chick-fil-a you'd typically see in the malls in the USA. earthcreature They look kind of sad :( I wish they could cheer up :( But right on protest!! Some one has to take it to the streets and stand up for what they believe on! On the front page of the NYT's there a photo of "imported [Japanese] vehicles sit[ting] at the Port of Newark, waiting for their turn to gather dust at dealerships. Toyota Motor is starting to feel the downturn that has hobbled its American counterparts." This is not unconnected to the photo here. Perhaps it could be incorporated in the story quilt narrative. Moooooo.... Why wait for the cash cows to come home when they can start their very own bovine costume company? The way things are going, they better start sewing tiger costumes. I don't think the global economic downturn will be over by the time we usher in the "Year of the Tiger" in 2010. but for me is not like a real protest but a funny protest and not about economy but about the cow is that right minna.

It's the first of two Wildcard Tour stops scheduled for the weekend. On social media, the "Bluebird" singer announced a new date for the show and explained that she simply doesn't have the voice for it right now. "I've been doing everything in my power to be 100% but my voice is just not there," Lambert writes on Instagram. "Not even close. I am so sorry to let everyone down." The show has been rescheduled for Feb. 25. Cody Johnson and Lanco will join her for the new date, and tickets for the original date will be honored. "I am medicating and resting and I'm praying I will be better to play Denver tomorrow," she writes. The Friday night show was scheduled for the Vivint Smart Home Arena. The new date comes between West Coast concerts in California. "Thanks for understanding and please know my heart is broken over this," Lambert adds before apologizing once more. Lambert does not have a history of canceling concerts. Last weekend in Nashville she performed for nearly two hours and included 28 songs in a tightly-packed set list that included covers from Alan Jackson and Travis Tritt. Songs from every album were included plus four with the Pistol Annies. The 2020 Wildcard Tour runs through May 9 in Canada. The Wildcard Tour is named after Lambert's most recent studio album, Wildcard. Talking to Taste of Country Nights radio in November, Lambert shared how the songs were inspired by happier events in her life.

Now the Idaho AG is taking over the investigation Get the latest news and important stories. Download the free Knewz app for iOS and Android. “Doomsday cult mom” Lori Vallow and her new husband Chad Daybell have descended into greater legal peril with the news that the Idaho Attorney General’s office is taking over the investigation into the mysterious death of Chad’s first wife Tammy, Fox 10 Phoenix reports. And not only Chad, but Lori as well, are named in the legal documents. What’s more, police in Chandler, Arizona, are already investigating the violent death of Lori’s fourth husband, Charles Vallow. Lori, 46, was arrested in late February while on a Hawaiian sojourn for deserting her biological daughter Tylee Ryan, 17, and her adopted son JJ Vallow, 7. Neither child has been seen since September. Lori is currently languishing in a Madison County, Idaho, jail cell, attempting to get her $1 million bail reduced. Lori Vallow and Chad, 51, wed in early November, only two weeks after Tammy’s death. The couple reportedly belong to an extremist splinter sect of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that is consumed with preparing for Armageddon. Chad Daybell with his first wife, Tammy Numerous people in the couple’s orbit have met untimely ends over the past two years, not just Tammy Daybell. In 2018, Lori Vallow’s third husband, Joseph Ryan (Charles was her fourth, Chad is her fifth) who was Tylee’s father, died of a supposed heart attack and was cremated. In July 2019, Lori’s brother Alex Cox shot Charles to death in Chandler, Arizona, where Lori lived until moving with her kids to Rexburg, Idaho, at the end of the summer. Alex claimed he was acting in self defense; he would himself die under mysterious circumstances in December. Alex Cox was also a suspect in a failed drive-by assassination attempt of the estranged husband of Lori’s niece, Brandon Boudreaux, in Arizona. Lori’s niece Melani (now Melani Pawlowski) is believed to have come under the sway of Lori and Chad’s religious beliefs. An image provided by the Kauai Police Department shows Lori Vallow. Vallow–also known as Lori Daybell, and the mother of two Idaho children missing since September–was arrested Thursday, Feb. 20, 2020, in Hawaii, Kauai police said. Seven-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow and 17-year-old Tylee Ryan haven't been seen since late September, and police in Rexburg, Idaho, have said they “strongly believe that Joshua and Tylee's lives are in danger.” (Kauai Police Department via AP) Chad’s previous wife Tammy Daybell, 49, died in Rexburg on October 19, just two weeks before Chad and Lori Vallow’s Hawaiian beachside wedding ceremony. Tammy, a beloved school librarian and mother of five, was believed to be in good health at the time of her death. She and Chad had been been married 30 years before Chad met Lori Vallow. Chad told authorities that Tammy died in her sleep. Tammy’s viewing and burial happened within just two days of her death, alarming some friends and family. The East Idaho News reports that the speed of funerary rites was especially troubling considering how unexpected Tammy’s death was. Many in attendance were alarmed at how fast funeral arrangements had been made and executed – especially considering Tammy’s death was unexpected. She was healthy, working as the librarian at Central Elementary School in Sugar City and was actively involved at church. Life insurance increase, quick burial and other ‘weird’ things Chad Daybell’s friends noticed EAST IDAHO NEWS After he’d married Lori Vallow, Chad would go on to collect $430,000 in life insurance because of Tammy’s demise. “Multiple sources say the funds came from several policies and Chad made ‘significant’ increases to at least one policy before Tammy passed away,” The East Idaho News reported. Chad reportedly wrote in religious-themed chatrooms that Tammy’s spirit had reached out to him after her death with “several messages” about “the second half” of his life. Presumably that included marrying Lori Vallow. According to CBS2 Idaho News, Lori Vallow, who now appears to be a suspect in Chad’s wife Tammy’s death, has already been slapped with five criminal counts, including two felony counts of desertion and nonsupport of dependent children, and one misdemeanor count of resisting and obstructing an officer, and solicitation of a crime and contempt. The AG’s office will now assume full responsibility for the case and all decisions regarding the case shall be the responsibility of the AG, with the help of local prosecutors. Investigators called Tammy’s death in October suspicious and investigators exhumed her body in Fremont County. Detectives are still awaiting autopsy and toxicology reports. Report: Lori and Chad Daybell being investigated for murder, conspiracy by Idaho AG Chad has not yet been charged with any crime. The East Idaho News published in its entirety the letter from the Idaho Attorney General regarding their new efforts where the Lori-Chad case is concerned. “The AG will assume full responsibility and authority for the case,” the letter states. •••••••••••••••••••••••• Download the Knewz App iOS: https://knz.kn/ios Android: https://knz.kn/android According to the Daily Beast, prosecutors in Fremont County, Idaho, requested the state attorney general’s assistance with the case. Fremont County is just north of Madison County, which includes the 90 percent Mormon town of Rexburg, and hugs the border of Wyoming and Yellowstone National Park. The last photographic records of Tylee date to September 8, when she, Lori, JJ and Alex took a trip to Yellowstone. Rexburg police have said they believe the children are in danger. Vallow and Daybell have denied any wrongdoing but have also refused to cooperate with the search for the children—which was recently expanded to include a FBI request for photos and videos from visitors to Yellowstone National Park that might show the family there. What started as a missing-persons case quickly mushroomed into a larger investigation that focused on the couple’s doomsday-centered religious beliefs and the deaths of their previous spouses. Idaho Attorney General Takes Over Doomsday Couple Investigation The Deseret News reports that Lori has been granted a new hearing over her attorney’s request to lower her bail. However, as The East Idaho News reports, the coronavirus pandemic may throw a wrench into Lori’s efforts to get out on bail. A Supreme Court order that runs through April 15 has led Idaho’s courthouses to operate at reduced levels. JJ Vallow, 7, and Tylee Ryan, 17, have not been seen since September. Their mother Lori Vallow Daybell has refused to disclose their whereabouts despite being thrown in jail. Consequently, the state is only running limited hearings with greatly limited public access. That lack of access will probably also envelop the AG investigation into Lori Vallow and Chad in relation to Tammy’s death. Idaho Governor Brad Little could effectively extend this clampdown on courthouses should he alter his current stay-at-home order. [Lori’s] attorney asked for new documents earlier this week, including all autopsy reports for Tammy Daybell, Charles Vallow and others, as I wrote for the Deseret News. [Lori] also called for a $1 million bail reduction, too. Her bond had already been reduced from $5 million to $1 million about a month ago after she was first sent to jail. Vallow Daybell was extradited from Hawaii to Idaho earlier this year. Lori Vallow Daybell’s bail reduction hearing scheduled Social-distancing restrictions have already rankled Lori and her defense attorney, Mark Means. Means complained to the judge overseeing Lori’s case that he was not able to properly confer with his client because the Madison County jail’s social distancing policies have meant that the two are only allowed to meet with a pane of glass between them as they communicate through the telephone. The attorney has lamented that in order to pass documents to his client, he has had to pass them in a roundabout way through various layers of security before they finally reach Lori Vallow on the other side of the glass. This would presumably make it more difficult for them to discuss the case of Lori, Chad and Tammy. Fox 13 Salt Lake City reports that the jail has also admitted to “accidentally” recording a conversation between Lori and her attorney, which he complained violated her statutory right to privacy. According to a court document filed by Madison County Prosecuting Attorney Rob Wood, the “mistake” took place because of new COVID-19 policies at the jail. “The Jail promptly deleted the recording of that conversation and has placed a block on all recordings in the current attorney/client visiting area to preclude any other accidental recordings,” Wood wrote. Deputy Isaac Payne, a spokesperson for the jail, did not provide an explanation into how the recording was made, only stating that the case is “under investigation.” Jail in Rexburg admits to ‘accidentally’ recording conversation between mother of missing children and her attorney KTSU SALT LAKE CITY Fox 13 cited a defense attorney and former prosecutor who theorized that Lori’s lawyer could use the supposedly errant recording as leverage to get her out of jail. Whatever evidence the police may have gleaned from the recording, however, would be inadmissible during a trial because it was obtained illegally. Charles’ sister, Kay Woodcock, told Fox 10 that she had email records indicating that Charles knew that Lori was carrying on with Chad as early as January 2019, when he was still married to Tammy. Kay is also JJ’s grandmother. “Charles showed me several things from his email that indicated that they were having an affair,” said Kay. Currently, Lori is in an Idaho jail, accused of child abandonment and other offenses. A hearing is set for April 17, as her attorney tries to reduce her $1 million bail amount. “I hope it’s left alone, the judge sees through this and does not reduce her bail. I think this is exactly the time not to be reducing bail,” said Larry. Meanwhile, a family member of Tammy’s, who wants to remain anonymous, told FOX 10’s Justin Lum that news of the Attorney General’s Office taking over the case is great news, and hopes for a resolution Idaho AG’s Office taking over probe into death of Chad Daybell’s 1st wife KSAZ PHOENIX An e-mail from Arizona law enforcement authorities obtained by Fox 10 Phoenix said authorities there are “getting close” to charging Lori in Charles’ death.

__label__cc	0.59411	0.40589	Do Your Leaders Understand How Safe Decisions and Safe Behaviors Work Together? COVID-19 as an SIF Issue Within the network of causal factors underlying incident causation are two points of intersection: the safety related decisions that are made, and the safe behaviors performed. This applies across levels, from the board of directors to the front-line worker, but the dynamics change depending on level and role. In order to craft and execute optimal SIF prevention strategies, including COVID-19, our leaders need to understand the dynamic relationship between decision making and behavior, at all levels. For example, as we face COVID-19 uncertainty, how should leaders be thinking about where to focus attention? Our clients tell us there are two main areas of concern: keeping the workplace safe from COVID-19, and addressing the cultural issues related to workplace re-entry. Both are important and both require understanding how decision making and behavior interact. Is the primary COVID-19 exposure reduction mechanism to target worker behavior, or leadership decision making? If both, where and how should leaders direct resources? Many leaders, often senior leaders, think that the behavior of the worker is the primary issue. This applies to COVID-19 as it does to SIF events generally. Some feel frustration when they see unsafe worker behavior, without recognizing the role of their own decisions in creating it. We know from multiple SIF analyses and studies1 that a bright line can be seen connecting senior leader decision making with worker behavior. As one senior leader put it in a recent conversation, “We own the behavior of the worker.” Another said “We create the behavior of the worker.” Yes, the worker’s decision making is also an important factor, but in a different way than that of the senior leader. Effective prevention requires a broad understanding of how all this works. So how is behavior related to decision making? And how do these things relate to COVID-19 prevention in the workplace? How do they connect to the broad set of issues related to re-entry? In this post I’ll lay out some of what is known and some implications for safety improvement strategy, using the present crisis to exemplify guiding principles. Decision making and behavior are the inside and outside of the same thing. A behavior is an observable action, outside the person, what you can see them do. Am I maintaining sufficient distance from other employees? Have the surfaces I come in contact with been effectively cleaned? A decision is a choice between options, you can’t see it directly from the outside, but you can be aware of it internally. (More on this later, you aren’t always aware of it.) It comes into your awareness most prominently when you have a decision dilemma, which happens when the best choice between options isn’t clear. As a leader, I decide our policy on who needs to wear facial covering, and when. Are we doing enough of the right things to avoid COVID-19 fatalities and community spread? Are we ready for successful re-entry? The relationship between the two is multi-faceted. The decisions I make have direct influence on the behaviors I perform. The behaviors I perform also influence the decisions I make in the future. The linkage is tight, but it isn’t always easy to see. But one leads to the other. I make a decision and then I behave. I see that our organization is at risk from COVID-19, I make a decision and I take action. I decide to create a powerful emergency-response task-force. My first action is to call on my most capable executive to lead it. You can see the decision and the resulting behavior. The impact of behavior and of decision-making changes according to level and role. The higher up you go in an organization, the stronger the impact of decision-making. If I decide it’s essential to implement strict COVID-19 mitigations as quickly as possible, an entire set of behaviors follows: mine, those that report to me, and those that work in the organization I lead. This is a pivotal decision, one that reaches a long way. Interestingly, our studies show that even pivotal decisions are often made without the leader realizing their full implications. We see this over and over when analyzing SIF events. The decision to defer maintenance, which turned out to be pivotal to the fatality, was made without leadership awareness of its implications. Sometimes it wasn’t even considered in safety terms. To the senior executive, decision-making is the most powerful mechanism I have for creating a safe workplace. Yes the behaviors I perform matter greatly, but those behaviors originate with decisions I’ve made. And the decision capability I have reaches far into the organization. At the front-line level, I see the hazard, or I know the procedure, and decide to perform the safe behavior. But often I don’t see the hazard. I’ve gotten used to it, or it comes from a change in operating method, manpower or team composition – which are very likely changes with all the COVID-19 measures – and it didn’t occur to me that the change created a hazard. For the front-line worker, the protective behavior is where the emphasis is. Protecting myself with PPE is central. Maintaining physical distance is central. Influencing behavior and influencing decision making require different strategies and have different pitfalls. If I’ve learned anything about influencing behavior, it’s that in the majority of organizations it inevitably leads to blaming workers. This is the most damaging thing I can do as a leader: blaming the worker for behavior that I have caused. Almost no leader does this intentionally, but in our culture and leadership assessments, we see it frequently. It happens at every level from the first line supervisor to the CEO. The result is a toxic safety culture that breeds distrust and dysfunction throughout the organization. Nothing good for safety can happen in a culture like this, let alone COVID-19 prevention. Leaders create culture by influencing behavior, and both culture and behavior begin with leadership decision making. Influencing leadership decision making is the most powerful SIF prevention strategy available to us. So the strategy for COVID-19 prevention and re-entry has to include knowing the safe decision making capability of leaders. Our studies have shown that the largest constellation of leadership decisions that influence a safe workplace are those made by the site manager and his or her direct reports. These decisions are influenced by decisions made above the site level. Both levels need to be included in a successful improvement strategy. Senior leaders need to ask: What decisions are we making, now, in the past, and in the future, that will have the greatest impact on COVID-19 prevention? 1Bell, K.J. & Krause, T.K. (2015).

__label__wiki	0.609578	0.609578	h Home News / Publications Join The USW News / Publications Media Center News Articles 2020 USW members kick up production of PPE in U.S. and Canada While most workers in both the United States and Canada have been forced to stay home amidst the coronavirus pandemic, many, including quite a few USW members, have continued working as essential workers. A group of workers in West Virginia, however, have brought their home to work, playing a vital role in the battle against the pandemic. More than 40 members of Local 721 at Braskem America have been participating in a “live-in” at their production facility in Neal, West Virginia, since March 31, rotating in 12-hour shifts to create raw materials needed for medical supplies as well as respiratory masks and other protective equipment. This is both serving to protect the workers and their families at home as well as to meet the high demand for products. “We’re truly honored to be able to give back and support people we will never meet in some way,” operations shift supervisor Joe Boyce told WPVI. “All the first responders, all the people on the front lines, we thank you. That's what makes our job easy to do.” Local 1-500 members, who manufacture refrigeration products, will also now be adding production of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and medical transportation coolers to help fight the COVID-19 pandemic. Workers at Koolatron Corporation’s Brantford, Ontario, plant are already producing face shields. Further production of masks, including N95 masks, is expected to begin as soon as the company gets federal approval. “The term ‘Made in Canada by USW Local 1-500’ has more significance than ever before,” said USW Ontario Director Marty Warren. “Our members were involved in supporting the company’s move to add production that will help fight the COVID-19 pandemic. This is about more than jobs. This is about doing the right thing.” The face shields, made at a rate of 100 per hour, are already being manufactured and sold in southern Ontario, and union members are ready to begin work on other products. Members at USW Local 366 in Portland, Maine, are also currently producing 5,000 face shields every day at American Roots in a partnership with Flowfold. They are also making surgical-grade masks, designed in conjunction with professors at the University of Connecticut. “Two weeks ago, American Roots shut its factory down in order to evaluate the safety and well-being of our employees and their ability to work during the COVID-19 crisis,” said American Roots CEO Ben Waxman in a memo. “Within one-week, American Roots, a 100-percent American-made and proudly USW Local 366 union-made company, made the decision to move forward with re-tooling our current factory to produce desperately needed PPE for those on the front lines of this crisis.” Waxman also stated that they have the ability and space to potentially increase capacity, if needed. “We are doing everything in our power to get the costs of our face shields down, including new, more efficient designs and inviting unemployed union volunteers to help us assemble them,” said Waxman. You can order face shields from American Roots, as well as custom masks with filters, by emailing info@americanrootswear.com or calling 207-854-4098. f t !

__label__cc	0.679496	0.320504	Fairytale Retellings \| Six Gun Snow White and Poison Posted on January 8, 2016 Updated on January 6, 2016 When reading Six Gun Snow White (Cat Valente) and Poison (Sarah Pinborough), I was left thinking a lot about fairytale retellings, how they are approached, and my feelings about them. My past history with fairytale retellings hasn’t been all rosy cheeks and cuddles. Generally, I finish fairytale retellings with a sense of something left wanting, a general dissatisfaction. I have come to the conclusion that fairytale retellings are best done in one of two ways: total overhaul or digging deeper into the original. Both Valente and Pinborough are good examples of these two approaches. Six Gun Snow White is a total overhaul story. It breaks apart the pieces of Snow White and plays with them. It puts them together in a different way. While the story still revolves around the relationship between a girl and her stepmother, Six Gun Snow White varies widely from the original story. Snow White is the daughter of a white minerals prospector and a Native American woman. She’s by and large let free to roam her father’s estate while he travels to new mining opportunities. Snow White has to deal with a physically abusive stepmother who can’t get over the fact that Snow is, in fact, not white. Snow runs away with her six shooter into Crow country. Magic is there, but the mirror doesn’t talk and the dwarves aren’t exactly dwarves. Valente’s story is a great example of an overhaul done right. She takes the themes and elements of Snow White, but isn’t confined by them. It doesn’t feel like a Snow White story bound by its past iterations. It feels fresh and very freed from convention. It would stand on its own if you had never read or heard the original tale. Valente picks and chooses what she likes and makes the story her own instead of just dressing Snow White up in a cowboy hat. Poison is a more traditional retelling. Snow White is still a princess whose father remarries a witch. She runs away to be tracked down by a hunter. All the bells and whistles are still there. What Poison does that I liked with the story is taking previously one dimensional characters and digging in. Pinborough takes the story of Snow White as an opportunity to look at who the Evil Stepmother is, why her relationship with Snow would devolve, and what the characters would be doing, thinking, wanting, etc. Pinborough expands on the story, unlike the more “paying homage” approach Valente takes, and it works. She examines the motivations and repercussions of the characters and successfully builds real people out of a cartoon drawing. She also intertwines some fairytales and gives it a dark ending (Oh, my God, that ending). I think the real point here is that both can be done well, but it’s the divergence and depth that makes a retelling enjoyable. Retellings that work too hard on keeping the plot and story “pure” while also putting it in a different context are a turnoff to me. It binds the story up and doesn’t add to the story’s life. I like the story, but to hold too true to it while still trying to make it something the original story isn’t doesn’t often pan out. Thoughts? What do you think about retellings?

Ahead of the big episode, Macht spoke with Rotten Tomatoes about the effect Harvey’s visit will have on the rest of his life, the status of Harvey’s relationship with Mike, and that fake-out dream sequence with Harvey and Donna (Sarah Rafferty) that fans are probably still freaking out about. Sometimes his wit and his maneuvering or how he works it all out is sort of superhuman, or … He’s the most human that I think I’ve seen him in a long time. That dream is all about setting up this episode, basically. Macht: I think he’s just going to take a little bit of his own ego out and let it rest for a little while. RT: You got me, but also then I was like, “Of course it’s not., but his world is essentially crumbling around him right now: His law partner, Jessica Pearson (Gina Torres), left him; his protégé, Mike Ross (Patrick J.Adams), just finished a stint in prison and refuses to work with him again; and he hasn’t spoken to his mother in seven years.Jean Bentley for Rotten Tomatoes: How was it to delve into this personal side of Harvey? So much of the show is procedural driven and law talk and all of that stuff that takes forever to memorize and very hard to make natural and look like I know what the hell I’m talking about.When you get a narrative where we depart from the procedure and actually talk about personal issues of a character, it was easier in many ways to learn and more challenging to get in touch with those places in your head or in your heart where you have to reveal what’s going on.

__label__cc	0.618261	0.381739	The Masters Review Blog Craft Chat: Pacing In this month’s Craft Chat, the editorial team discusses a component of submissions that we often find makes or breaks a piece: Pacing. So I wanted to ask, what are we talking about when we talk about pacing? Cole Meyer: What do we talk about when we talk about pacing? (Is that cliche?) One of most common reasons for me, personally, to turn down a story is because of its pacing—either it’s too slow, or too fast, or it’s uneven: it starts fast/slow and then switches speeds unnecessarily. But I think it might be helpful to identify a) What good pacing looks like (or reads like or sounds like), and b) what messes with a story’s pacing. I like to steal advice from Steve Almond (who admits it was partially stolen from Jim Shepard): Slow down where it hurts, and are we learning new information? A slow story isn’t a bad story. Let me say that again: there’s nothing wrong with a slow story! As long as we aren’t spiraling around the same idea, the same emotion, for 10, 15, 20 pages, your reader won’t even notice that it’s a slow story, because they’re learning new information. And on the other hand, a story can cover a lot of ground quickly (and successfully), but when it reaches that pivotal moment, what Almond calls the “dangerous moments of a story”, that’s where we need to slow down. “Think of it in mechanical terms,” he says: “if a narrative can’t move forward, it must turn inward.” Melissa Hinshaw: The subject of pacing has come up a lot in our editor comments lately, so I’m glad we’re talking about it here. I’d define pacing as how much time a story spends on each of its parts or scenes. Good pacing looks like when you don’t have to double back or rush forward at all as a reader, I think, to get more information or give yourself space to have that “aha” moment. A well-paced story gives you exactly the content you need to see or feel something and exactly enough space to see or feel it. Any by proxy understand it. When you sit down to write your first draft you put a lot of energy (detail, explanation, clarity, etc) into some scenes and not as much into others. For most of us, that energy balance doesn’t line up perfectly with the effect we imagine or hope the story will have on the reader. Pacing titrates the energy appropriately to the arc of your story. I agree it’s mechanical: a story must be engineered like a roller coaster. You need enough engine at some points to create the build up, and you need to let go at points and let everything fall and sink in. It’s easy for me to get lost in the metaphor here, but both the engine and the rollercoaster and the rails are all elements of writing. Lush details we slow down and sit in; a well-chosen word to move us through something quickly; flat exposition lets us just hum along and learn new info without too much friction. Everything contributes to pacing, including word choice, sentence length, which character we’re looking at or reading through the eyes of… even (or especially) paragraph length. What are things that slow down pieces for either of you? Or speed them along? Also, we must talk about interruptions to pacing, and how to keep an eye out for those. Those are probably the things we see most like, “Ah, this story would have been great, except these four pages in the middle, what are they doing here?” Brandon Williams: Man, can I just say yup to everything here? I almost never think of pacing on its own (which maybe is a flaw of mine), but rather of scenes or moments and then how effectively they chain together with the rest of the scenes or moments in a story. If we’ve got a slow story and then suddenly we’re spanning two months in a page, that’s a problem; if we’ve got a piece that’s humming along but has one random interlude to explain tanning leather gloves (I’m still scarred by Phillip Roth, apparently, although he doesn’t actually fit this discussion at all; it’s just all those pages of gloves I can’t get out of my mind) for a bunch, then suddenly I’ve forgotten how fast I was moving. Rhythm, in all the different facets Melissa brought up, is what we’re looking for, some level of natural rhythm that we as readers can recognize. As much as anything else, it teaches us when and where to focus most deeply, where to settle back and read leisurely and when to pay attention to every detail being thrown at us. Paragraph length, and also presentation of dialogue, is pretty important here too, right? Like, the staccato nature of dialogue, or the wandering soliloquy explanatory dialogue, both completely rebuild what we’re expecting of pacing even on a visual level. And dialogue has that weird effect of moving so fast on the page but of slowing down the timeline, which is another thing to hold onto. Which brings up the idea of how fast one reads a piece versus how fast time is passing in the story itself, so that pacing needs to be a consideration both of reader and what they can gain from a story and also of the events of the story and how they’re moving. MH: Yes! I wanted to say that dialogue pretty much usually helps move things along, but sometimes we get that super slow, saying-nothing dialogue that goes on and on and just brings the piece to a standstill. A few short lines of meaningful/rich dialogue can be a much needed power-boost between paragraphs. Dialogue bursts make much better transition points than page breaks—just switch to a new scene right after the dialogue ends. CM: These are all really great points! I think it would be helpful for us to identify some stories that we would deem as “excellently paced”. Some of my favorites: “Gravel” by Alice Munro—like most Munro stories, this is a slow-burn, but the pace is perfect. We get in and out of scene without sacrificing any of its relentless momentum. Another great: “The Half-Skinned Steer” by E. Annie Proulx. This is a good example of a story that shouldn’t work, I think. The first three paragraphs summarize sixty years of a man’s life, and much of the rest of the story follows the protagonist on a solitary road trip. But it never loses its steam, either. Last, for a quick paced story, since I feel I’m trying to justify my assertion that slow and steady works well, “The Semplica-Girl Diaries” by George Saunders, which I know I’ve mentioned before: This story spans one month of time, in journal entries from the narrator. The truncated prose in the voice of the narrator certainly helps with the pacing in this instance, I think. Perhaps importantly, too, this story is the longest of the three I mentioned—“Gravel” is the shortest at around 5,500 words, while “Steer” is 6,500 words, and “The Semplica-Girl Diaries” is nearly 9,000. Yet, I think of it as the faster story! « back to the blog	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0085.json.gz/line945

Interpersonal vulnerability has been recently embraced in both academic¹ and popular culture² contexts as a quality to be valued and as a potential catalyst for positive outcomes such as intimacy. In contrast, among growing privacy concerns on individual,³ corporate,⁴ and state levels,⁵ the vulnerability of information carries a heavier weight, facilitating opportunities for exploitation. This project seeks to examine the potential outcomes of making both our selves and our data vulnerable. experiment 1.1 – new methods: For one month in 2016, the two of us inhabited a digital space, accessible to anyone, as research subjects. Our presence included live-streamed hangouts—during which we attempted and subsequently analyzed a series of progressively vulnerable actions, conversations, and exercises—leaving care packages for one another, and an archive of the data that our mutual activities generated over the course of the month, including the entirety of our text-based communications. We repurposed existing platforms to publish and store our data in order to demonstrate how tedious it is to access one's "own" data through these interfaces, and to share it with as many entities (corporate and governmental) as possible.

This is so weird. Like, surely Mom has a hand at, like, why this is happening right now,” said Micheál Richardson. The film, out on demand on various broadcast platforms on Friday, centers around a father and his estranged son who attempt to renovate a Tuscan home inherited from his late wife. Natasha Richardson, the star of movies like “The Parent Trap,” died at age 45 after suffering a severe brain injury in a skiing accident in Canada in 2009. Writer and director James D’Arcy wrote the script before Richardson died, and when he sent it to Neeson, it was with a lot of trepidation. “I thought we could get a pretty insulting note back saying, ‘how dare you send him a script like that?’ And actually, it was completely the opposite. He really responded to it personally,” D’Arcy said. Neeson suggested his real-life son be cast in the film, but wanted to make sure Richardson was protected. “He’s a pretty young man and he had a terrible trauma 10 years ago. And I did not want him to be retraumatized in the making of the film,” Neeson said. The movie is filled with romance, comedy and a message of hope – which Neeson hopes helps people during the stresses of the coronavirus pandemic. “It’s important to say that we have each other. We have to help each other,” he said. – Reuters Previous articleJen gaining fans for being gutsy Next articleFrom Butt-Head to Stimpy, animated TV classics get a makeover Copper rises as China growth lifts demand outlook Stocks down on profit-taking Pro league fetes awardees online China steel output sets new record	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0085.json.gz/line954

__label__cc	0.552855	0.447145	Megan L. Lavengood music theorist Gender and hiring in music theory There’s a connection between the growing acceptance of non-mainstream methodologies/repertoires and the growing number of marginalized people that have found success within our discipline. Posted on: July 9, 2019 Last updated on: October 2, 2019 Written by: Megan Comments: 3 Categorized in: professional development, theory Tagged as: composition diversity feminism gender jobs music theory jobs race Society for Music Theory October 2, 2019 update: A group of senior scholars has written a letter to the music theory community to publicly reject the comments made on the Jobs Wiki. Click here to read the letter and sign your name. A new batch of Music Theory Jobs Wiki drama is going around, and this time it’s about the role of gender in hiring. It began with a 600+ word post from a disgruntled applicant (OP), alleging that “the chair of the committee confirmed to me that, although I was the best-qualified candicate [sic], my gender [male] was the primary reason that the job went to someone else,” and lamenting identity politics in a very “so much for the tolerant left!” sort of way. But here’s the thing—even setting aside misguided notions like that one, the vast majority of professors getting hired today in music theory are hugely overqualified for their positions. Everyone in theory knows that our diversity is abysmal, and one way of demonstrating that is with our gender statistics: it’s 33% women and 62% men according to the latest data. I usually say that if we are that poorly balanced in terms of gender, you don’t even wanna know how bad we are with race (but the society is 84% white, for the record). Across academia at large, the problems are similar. In response, it seems that many departments are looking to hire candidates from what might be called “diverse backgrounds”—a quick browse through the wiki shows that there do appear (based on gendered names) to be a disproportionate number of women being hired this year. In that sense, the allegation from the OP is plausible—committees do indeed seem to be taking gender into consideration while hiring new professors. What is implausible about what the OP suggests is the idea that he was the “best-qualified” candidate, but they went with someone presumably less qualified because they ticked a certain identity box. Typically, job requirements for a music theory professorship are something like 1) a completed PhD in music theory and 2) experience teaching music theory at the college level, and sometimes 3) a demonstrated record of successful research. Looking at who landed jobs, everyone hired meets these requirements (or will by the time they start, in the case of ABDs). So while a commenter on that wiki thread laments “Ultimately, it will all backfire, because people are being hired with weaker credentials, less talent, and fewer skills just to please various quotas,” that seems to be a pretty pernicious lie that, wittingly or not, assumes that female/POC candidates are always less qualified than male candidates. But here’s the thing—even setting aside misguided notions like that one, the vast majority of professors getting hired today in music theory are hugely overqualified for their positions. Most jobs are at teaching- and undergraduate-focused schools; most jobs involve teaching the core sequence of freshman- and sophomore-level theory and aural skills. If we’re being honest, you don’t need a PhD to do that. You certainly don’t need to have published tons of articles and a book to do that. The research requirements for most new hires is, “does this person seem to have a trajectory that will get them enough publications to get tenured at our school?” For this reason, when we’re talking about your average teaching-focused job, I don’t really buy the concept of being more qualified than another person just because you have more publications. I view that kind of thing strictly as bonus material. (Obviously research schools with theory PhD programs are a different story—but that’s a very small percentage of jobs, and they also often spell out more elaborate requirements.) When committees set out to hire more women or more people of color, then, they are assuming that these groups are equally qualified as their male/white peers. If we assume that, the question becomes, why does race or gender matter, if everyone is equally qualified? This statement incorrectly presumes that this is about nothing more than skin color or gender identity, when really, diversity is about the different perspectives that people from divergent backgrounds bring to the table. A commenter on wiki, supporting the OP’s claims, wrote, “The truth is that for many reasons very few women have been interested in composition and theory. And the truth is also that we won’t be able to ‘correct’ this historical fact by just hiring a bunch of women. We can’t just make people interested in something that they often don’t want to do.” This comment betrays a lack of familiarity with the nature of said problems, and why hiring a bunch of women would actually go a long way toward fixing them. An incomplete list of reasons why hiring women helps the gender balance of the field: Women having jobs encourages them to remain in the field, in the society, and publishing Women, based on their lived experiences, can offer important perspectives when mentoring their female advisees on how to navigate gender issues in the field, improving their rates of graduation and success (strengthening the pipeline) Representation encourages people with similar identities to feel they belong in that space (strengthening the pipeline again) But again, why help the gender balance? After all, the commenter goes on to suggest that “there is no inherent problem with having a very heavy presence of white males in the field.” This statement incorrectly presumes that this is about nothing more than skin color or gender identity, when really, diversity is about the different perspectives that people from divergent backgrounds bring to the table. Even those that are squeamish toward affirmative action will usually laud the goal of a diversity of ideas. What these people might not understand is that diversity of identity leads naturally to that prized diversity of ideas. It’s well-known that we encourage more types of people to participate in a space if they see other people like them in that space. People who come from different backgrounds think differently from one another, and mixing these different ideas together enriches everyone in the space. I have observed that female scholars dominate the field of timbre research in music theory. This was clearest to me as I made the syllabus for my timbre seminar that I taught last spring. Most of the authors we read happened to be women, and although lots of people need to go out of their way to cite equal numbers of men and women in their bibliographies and syllabi, that was not the case in this seminar—just, a lot of the great articles in timbre analysis have been written by women. Hiring committees don’t just want a rainbow of people in their professoriate—from what I’ve seen, at least, committees want to hire someone doing innovative research, above all else. Timbre certainly qualifies, as it’s only recently flourished in music theory. What probably does not qualify are the theory standbys of Schenker and sets, and even analysis of classic rock. To show the contrast, compare a recent Contemporary Music Review special issue on timbre to the latest issue of the Journal of Schenkerian Studies: the former has a 50/50 split, while the latter has a 87.5/12.5 split. I realize this is hardly a representative sample, but it wouldn’t be hard to collect more data points. In short, I’m of the opinion that diversity of ideas is inextricably bound up in diversity of identity in our field. In my experience, women tend to feel forced outside the box in a way that men aren’t, which is not great, but the silver lining is that being forced outside the mainstream means creating new fields, which is ultimately a good thing for the discipline. When the time came to declare a specialty and start working on a dissertation proposal, I knew I wanted to do one of two things: a Schenkerian approach to JS Bach fugues, or analysis of timbre in pop music. The person with whom I’d work if I did Schenker/Bach met with me and strongly advised me not to pursue that research topic—not because he didn’t think I was capable, but because he thought the field was toxic. Those weren’t his words, but my understanding of them—the way he put it, as I recall, was that everyone would expect you to have read every book and article and know every note of every piece, and if you didn’t, you wouldn’t be taken seriously even if you did have good analyses or methodology to offer. I’m not sharing this to pooh-pooh this faculty member—I presume that he would have given the same advice to anyone. But who would have taken that advice, and who would have ignored it? I took the advice and did my timbre/pop dissertation (in hindsight, this was clearly the right choice for me). I imagine that only a person who was unshakably confident that their opinions would be valued, and maybe even a little bit entitled, would have ignored it—which is to say, I think only a man would have ignored it. So it’s not that I think men are less creative and thus spurring less innovation—of course I adore the pioneering work of many male colleagues—but rather that I think a far higher percentage of men than women feel confident that they can specialize in a traditional, well-trod research topic and still be a desirable job search candidate. This also speaks to why women have felt excluded from the field—because for a while there, the field was acting pretty exclusive. Publishing research only if it studies music in the canon excludes people who are not fluent with the canon (people who, probably, tend to be poorer and less white). A hegemony of a few methodologies like Schenker and sets lets a few experts be de facto intellectual gatekeepers of the whole field, which may cause more anxiety to some people than to others. I presume that he would have given the same advice to anyone. But who would have taken that advice, and who would have ignored it? I’m grateful that the field has moved beyond this to be more inclusive of these other ideas, because there’s a connection between the growing acceptance of non-mainstream methodologies/repertoires and the growing number of marginalized people that have found success within our discipline. Diversity isn’t just about filling a quota (if the quota even exists). Diversity is about recognizing that our ways of thinking are shaped by our experiences; our experiences are shaped by the facts of our identity. At the risk of sounding trite as hell: diversity improves the discipline, strengthens our universities, our departments, our students, and ourselves. 3 thoughts on “Gender and hiring in music theory” JWP says: I am deeply interested in any opinion you might have of the kind of research topic self-sorting you describe when it comes to historically overrepresented identities. I’ve noticed that some white men seem interested in pursuing diverse topics, outside the box topics, which you rightly point out have come to seem more the province of underrepresented groups, especially underrepresented genders. Given that we are all living with the violence of these power structures, is there some way to engage with topics of interest without “taking up space”, without recapturing the expanded range of ideas and reincorporating them into the patriarchal structures that banished them in the first place? Thanks for your thoughtful comment. (When I first saw that someone had commented, I immediately dreaded reading it! But this was a pleasant surprise.) I certainly don’t want to give anyone the impression (and I’m not saying this is yours either!) that I don’t think men/white people shouldn’t engage in these new modes of inquiry. The more people doing this, the better, of course. A musicologist colleague of mine, Elizabeth Newton, wrote a really compelling essay that I’ve taken to heart ever since reading it. She advocates letting go of feeling the need to cite the incredibly famous work of well-established senior scholars for every little thing we write. To me, this really helps de-center the patriarchal tendencies of academia; the longer we stay deferent and tethered to our past, the longer that patriarchy will remain in control. Forcing each new thought in pop music to pay homage to Everett, Moore, and Covach holds us back, and takes up space we could otherwise give to more marginalized scholars. So, to go back to your original question, one way to prevent unduly taking up space is if we all commit to prioritizing citing marginalized scholars as much as we can, rather than throwing Caplin into every bibliography. I admit I haven’t thought much of this problem before receiving your comment—I look forward to more of a dialogue on this.

__label__cc	0.594844	0.405156	Macroeconomy Argentina's public debt is unsustainable Published: - Feb 22, 2020 The IMF and the government of Alberto Fernández reached the decision to seek private bondholders to assume losses and renegotiate obligations. Casa Rosada in Argentina. / Photo: Pixabay LatinAmerican Post \| Juliana Suárez Leer en español: La deuda pública de Argentina es insostenible After a mission in which members of the International Monetary Fund met in Argentina with members of the cabinet, they published a statement assuring that private creditors will have to make an "appreciable contribution" to counteract the damages of the economic crisis. During the days when the IMF met in what would be the first economic mission with the new government of Alberto Fernández, the creditors were waiting for conclusions and recommendations to know how to proceed to achieve a better balance against the crisis. However, they came across the decision that they will have to contribute significantly, although it was not established whether this contribution will be capital, interest or both. IMF staff statement on #Argentina. https://t.co/L4A6Wyj9tD — Gerry Rice (@IMFSpokesperson) February 19, 2020 In the statement, it said that "IMF staff noted that the ability to face the level and service of Argentina's public debt deteriorated significantly compared to the latest IMF debt sustainability analysis, published in July 2019". Therefore, they determined that the debt could no longer be considered sustainable. They also stated that some of the risks that had been foreseen in July 2019 included “(i) problems in refinancing the debt due to the increase in new short-term issues; (ii) vulnerability of the trajectory of the public debt to the volatility of the exchange rate, given that a large part is denominated in foreign currency; and (iii) large external financing needs, a variable that is generally a good predictor of crises in emerging economies. ” These risks, despite the attempts of the previous government of Mauricio Macri and the incoming government of Fernández, could not be avoided. Given this, the IMF expressed concern as GDP contracted more than expected, international reserves decreased by around US $ 20 billion and “gross public debt increased to about 90 percent of GDP at the end of 2019, 13 percentage points more than the projection at the time of the Fourth Review ”. Hence the need to return sustainable debt for the next revision, so private bondholders are needed to contribute to this sustainability. In view of the results, the IMF determined that financing needs and potential growth are neither economically nor politically feasible, so their unsustainability was determined. Read also This is how US trade decisions affect Latin America According to La Nación, "according to a report by the Mauricio Macri government published last September, the debt with private creditors would reach about US $ 113,000 million without considering either the public sector or international organizations." Taking into account that sum, the fund's proposal seeks a “collaborative process with private creditors to maximize their participation in the eventual debt operation” which is intended to restructure the model to be sustainable. For its part, the Argentine government reaffirmed what the IMF said and welcomed the decision being taken since Fernandez had previously talked about the unsustainability of the model and the need to transform it. Although the way in which this model of contribution from private creditors is going to work has not yet been clarified, the Minister of Economy said on his Twitter account that they will have to work “to solve this deep debt crisis, end the cycles of unsustainable indebtedness and put our Nation back on its feet ”. Queremos una Argentina tranquila, que pueda volver a crecer y generar oportunidades para todas y todos. Trabajemos para resolver esta profunda crisis de deuda, acabar con los ciclos de endeudamiento insostenible y volver a poner de pie a nuestra Nación.https://t.co/iLKl2PYfq1 — Martín Guzmán (@Martin_M_Guzman) February 13, 2020 Skills that Stand Out Towards The Conquest of Job Opportunities By Ariel Cipolla The structural problem of pensions in LatinAmerica What is the "cepo al dólar"?

CHARTER OAK HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION 2010 OK CIV APP 67 THE COURT OF CIVIL APPEALS OF THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA, DIVISION I KEITH MARGERISON and ROBERT McCULLOUGH, Plaintiffs/Appellants, CHARTER OAK HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, Defendant/Appellee. APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TULSA COUNTY, OKLAHOMA HONORABLE MARY FITZGERALD, JUDGE Mary R. Bundren, BUNDREN LAW FIRM, Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Jonathan C. Neff, Tulsa, Oklahoma, for Plaintiffs/Appellants, Grant R. Cheadle, CHEADLE & ASSOCIATES, INC., Tulsa, Oklahoma, for Defendant/Appellee. Kenneth L. Buettner, Presiding Judge: ¶1 Plaintiffs/Appellants Keith Margerison and Robert McCullough appeal summary judgment entered in favor of Defendant/Appellee Charter Oak Homeowners Association. Appellants and Association both sought summary judgment declaring whether Appellants' gates could remain in a fence Association installed along its fencing easement on Appellants' properties. The record on appeal shows disputed material facts on the issues of waiver and estoppel. We therefore reverse and remand for further proceedings. ¶2 Appellants' lots in the Charter Oak Addition in Tulsa were burdened with an easement reserved by the Association. When Appellants purchased their properties, the easement contained a fence enclosing the perimeter of the addition, and the fence included gates on Appellants' lots which afforded access to a public park behind the addition. Appellants asserted that when the Association announced plans to replace the perimeter fencing, Margerison sought to replace the existing gate on his lot at his own expense. The Association approved his request in May 2008, and Margerison replaced the gate in September 2008. However, in January 2009 the Association demanded that Margerison remove the new gate. The Association later met and voted to remove all gates in the Association's fence. Appellants sought a judgment declaring they had a property interest in their gates and the Association did not have authority to demand removal of the gates; Appellants also sought an injunction against removal of the gates. ¶3 In its Answer, the Association responded that it possessed an exclusive easement granted in the original plat and deed of dedication. The Association also asserted that its Board's action of granting permission to Margerison to replace the gate on his lot was made without authority. The Association asserted it was revoking any license granted by giving Margerison permission to install a replacement gate. The Association argued that the gates constituted violations of its rules and bylaws. ¶4 In seeking summary judgment, the Association listed 37 statements of undisputed facts. Appellants responded, disputing about half of the Association's asserted facts.1 Appellants also sought summary judgment in their favor, and they listed 22 statements of undisputed facts.2 The deed of dedication provides: 9. Grantor hereby grants to [Association] an easement, of the varying width shown on the accompanying plat, on all perimeter lots . . . for the several purposes of constructing, maintaining, altering, repairing, removing and replacing retaining and screening walls, fences, and landscape materials on the exterior side thereof, with the right of ingress and egress in and to said easements for the uses and purposes aforesaid. The Third Amendment of Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, dated July 2, 1990, provides: Section 4. Fencing. (a) Perimeter Fencing or Walls. Within the Deed of Dedication of Charter Oak there has been heretofore established for the benefit of the Association a perpetual easement upon the perimeter of Charter Oak for the purposes of the erection, installation, and maintenance of security and entry facilities, decorative fencing, walls, and landscaping. The maintenance of the perimeter . . . fencing . . shall be the obligation of the Association. The perimeter easement of the Association shall be deemed exclusive, and no individual lot owners shall construct any fence or wall within the perimeter easement area or within 10 feet of the perimeter boundary line of Charter Oak, unless the proposed fence or wall shall have first been approved in writing by the Association. ¶5 The trial court entered summary judgment in favor of Association January 6, 2010. The trial court found that the developer of the addition assigned an exclusive easement to the Association for the purposes of creating a limited access gated community. The court cited authority that easements may not be enlarged by implication. The trial court further held that there was no issue of fact as to waiver or acquiescence because the fifteen year adverse possession period had not run. The court lastly held that "any claim to create private rights in the common element of the fence is not permitted by any of the foundation [Association] documents." The court lifted the injunction against the Association's planned removal of the gates. ¶6 Summary judgment proceedings are governed by Rule 13, Rules for District Courts, 12 O.S.2001, Ch. 2, App.1. Summary judgment is appropriate where the record establishes no substantial controversy of material fact and the prevailing party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Brown v. Alliance Real Estate Group, 1999 OK 7, 976 P.2d 1043, 1045. Summary judgment is not proper where reasonable minds could draw different inferences or conclusions from the undisputed facts. Id. Further, we must review the evidence in the light most favorable to the party opposing summary judgment. Vance v. Fed. Natl. Mortg. Assn., 1999 OK 73, 988 P.2d 1275. ¶7 The summary judgment record shows a dispute of fact on whether the Association is estopped from demanding removal of the gates after acquiescing in their existence in the fence for a number of years and after expressly granting Margerison permission to replace the gate on his lot. Exhibit 4 attached to Appellants' summary judgment motion was the affidavit of Margerison's predecessor in title, John Easley, who averred that he installed the gate in the fence in 1997 with permission of the Association and that the Association did not object to the gate between 1997 and August 2003, when Easley sold the property to Margerison. Appellants' Exhibit 6 was the affidavit of Tom King, who stated that he replaced the perimeter fence on Lot 10 in the addition in 2003. At the same time, he installed a gate in the fence on that lot, which McCullough later purchased. King also asserted that after he installed the fence and gate, the Association's treasurer informed him the Association would reimburse him for the cost of replacing the fence. King asserted that no one from the Association raised an objection to the gate. ¶8 The trial court erred in basing its decision on the 15 year limitations period for boundary by acquiescence. The issue is whether the Association acquiesced in the gates being part of the fence within the unchallenged-easement. Appellants have not claimed that the easement was lost by the existence of the gates for the prescriptive period, nor have Appellants claimed the easement itself was extinguished by estoppel.3 Instead, the evidence shows the parties dispute the material fact of whether the Association is estopped from removing the gates by its acquiescence in their installation and presence in the fence. The Restatement (Third) of Property (Servitudes) (2000) provides for a change to an easement based on estoppel. Section 7.6, Modification Or Extinguishment By Estoppel, provides: A servitude is modified or terminated when the person holding the benefit of the servitude communicates to the party burdened by the servitude, by conduct, words, or silence, an intention to modify or terminate the servitude, under circumstances in which it is reasonable to foresee that the burdened party will substantially change position on the basis of that communication, and the burdened party does substantially and detrimentally change position in reasonable reliance on that communication. The Oklahoma Supreme Court has recognized that "(a)cquiescence involves a quiet submission or compliance with acts from which assent can reasonably be inferred. A person may, through long acquiescence in a practice or recognition of a right, be precluded from denying the legality of the actions taken." Smith v. Baptist Foundation of Oklahoma, 2002 OK 57, ¶10, 50 P.3d 1132 (footnotes omitted). ¶9 The evidentiary materials show a dispute as to whether the Association acquiesced in the existence of the gates. Even in the absence of such acquiescence, the evidence also shows a dispute of fact whether the Association acted within its authority to grant permission to Margerison to install the replacement gate in 2008.4 ¶10 Finally, the evidence shows a dispute of material fact as to whether the presence of the gates constituted an unreasonable burden on the Association's use of the easement. A servient tenant may make reasonable use of his property burdened by an easement, so long as such use is not inconsistent with the dominant tenant's rights under the easement. We again recognize the Restatement (Third) of Property (Servitudes) (2000), in which § 4.9, Servient Owner's Right To Use Estate Burdened By A Servitude, provides: "(e)xcept as limited by the terms of the servitude determined under § 4.1, the holder of the servient estate is entitled to make any use of the servient estate that does not unreasonably interfere with enjoyment of the servitude." (Emphasis added). Comment c to that section explains that the servient tenant "is entitled to make all uses of the land that are not prohibited by the servitude and that do not interfere unreasonably with the uses authorized by the easement." Additionally, "(b)arring an agreement to the contrary, the owner of the servient estate may use his or her property in any manner and for any purpose consistent with the enjoyment of the easement." 28A CJS Easements §222. Whether the use planned by the servient tenant (Appellants) is unreasonable or inconsistent with the rights of the Association in the easement is a question of fact. U.S. v. O'Block, 788 F.2d 1433, 1435 (10th Cir. 1986). Factors to be considered in deciding the question include the intent of the original parties, the language in the deed of dedication, and the construction or practice of the parties. Id. ¶11 The record shows disputed material facts and we therefore REVERSE AND REMAND for further proceedings. HETHERINGTON, J., concurs, and HANSEN, J., dissents with opinion. 1 Appellants disputed the following statements of fact (we have omitted repetitive statements of fact in the Association's motion): 5) the PUDs and Deeds of Dedication conveyed a 3 foot exclusive easement for fencing and landscaping to the Association (Appellants disputed the easement was exclusive); 8) there is no proof Margerison's predecessor in title had authority to install a private gate on his lot; 9) there has never been a vote of Association members consenting to privatizing any gates or access through the common areas or common elements; 14) there is no proof that McCullough's predecessor in title had authority to install a private gate; 17) neither the By-Laws nor restrictive covenants grant the Board authority to approve installation of gates in the northern perimeter fence; 19) the Association has an exclusive easement of three feet for landscaping and fencing along the northern perimeter of the addition; 20) Margerison did not have votes of the majority then present approving of his request to install a replacement gate; 23) none of the gates installed in the northern perimeter fence fall within the scope of the one listed exception to Association's easement, and therefore the gates are in conflict with the intent to limit access and with the terms of the easement; 24) neither the Board nor Appellants have authority to alter the terms of the easement granted to the Association or the authority to grant private access to the addition through common elements; 28) in May 2008, Margerison petitioned the Board to allow him to install a new gate in the perimeter fence (Appellants asserted the gate was a replacement gate, rather than a new gate); 30) the Board lacked authority to alter the easement, and the vote to allow Margerison to replace the gate was not made by a majority of the Directors present and did not grant Margerison the right to install a gate; 33) in October 2008, portions of the perimeter fence were replaced, including the part with the gate at issue, and sometime later that month Margerison had a new gate installed in the new fence; 34) the Association owns the perimeter fencing and all gates in the fence; and 35) Margerison agrees that the Board may remove gates from the perimeter fence at any time. 2 The Association disputed Appellants' assertions of fact as follows: 3) the gate on Margerison's property was installed in 1997 by his predecessor in title, John Easley, with the Association's permission; 7) the Association has for years acquiesced in the existence of the gates on Appellants' properties; 8) a major factor in Appellants' decisions to buy their properties was gate access to the park, which constitutes a significant part of their use and enjoyment of their properties; 9) gate access to the park enhances the value of Appellants' properties; 12) the Association granted Margerison's request to replace the gate on his property May 19, 2008; 13) in October, 2008, in reliance on the Association's grant of permission, Margerison installed a replacement gate in the fence, with security enhancements, at his own expense; 17) after the Association announced it voted to remove all gates in its fence, Appellants requested that the gates remain until a court resolved the dispute; 18) by a June 17, 2009 email, the Association denied Appellants' request not to remove the gates pending suit; 19) after the Association denied the request to stay removal, Appellants obtained a temporary injunction to prevent removal of the gates; 21) at a June 26, 2009 hearing, a representative from the Association stated that security in the addition is not an issue in this case; and 22) also at that hearing, the Association's president admitted that there is no emergency with respect to the gates. 3 Section 505 of the Restatement (First) of Property (Servitudes) (1944) provides: An easement is extinguished when action is taken by the owner of the servient tenement inconsistent with the continued existence of the easement, if (a) such action is taken in reasonable reliance upon conduct of the owner of the easement; and (b) the owner of the easement might reasonably have foreseen such reliance and the consequent action; and (c) the restoration of the privilege of use authorized by the easement would cause unreasonable harm to the owner of the servient tenement. a. Rationale. The owner of an easement is not permitted to change a position once taken by him if the change would work undue prejudice to the owner of the servient tenement. It is not essential that the owner of the easement shall have made, intentionally or otherwise, any misstatement of fact. It is necessary only that he shall have led, under circumstances such that he may properly be held responsible for having done so, the owner of the servient tenement into some action inconsistent with the continued existence of the easement, such action being taken under the reasonable belief that it was not inconsistent with any claim of a privilege to use which would thereafter be made under the easement. It is apparent that there is here found a liberal application of the principles of estoppel. In many cases in other situations an estoppel arises only through reliance upon a misrepresentation of a present or past factual situation. The person estopped must have caused, in such a way that he is responsible for having done so, the person claiming the benefit of an estoppel to believe something to be true which is not true. In cases covered by this Section, however, an estoppel may arise upon a representation as to the future alone. Thus, if the owner of an easement acts as though he has no intention to make in the future the use authorized by the easement, he may become estopped to make such a use if the owner of the servient tenement acts in reliance upon the intention indicated. The liberality of the doctrines of estoppel in this connection indicates the influence of notions of social policy having especial significance here. That social policy originates in the feeling that unused easements constitute objectionable encumbrances upon the title to the land subject to them and obstructions to its development. Out of this feeling there arises an attitude favorable to their extinguishment. The result is that the law has developed rules favorable to the accomplishment of that end. If such rules develop from the application of doctrines which are also applicable to other fields, they may well be more liberal than rules developed in the application of those doctrines in at least some of such fields. g. Extent of extinguishment. The extinguishment of an easement by estoppel may be complete or partial. The conduct of the owner of the easement may be such as to estop him either from claiming a part only of the privileges enjoyed or from claiming any of them. The action taken in reliance upon the conduct of the owner of the easement may similarly be so extensive or so limited as to warrant either an estoppel against any claim to a future use under the easement, or an estoppel against only some of the claims which may be made to a continuance of the uses formerly privileged. Again, the harm resulting to the owner of the servient tenement from the restoration of the privileges authorized by the easement may be such as to warrant the refusal to restore any of them or it may be only sufficient to make it reasonable to refuse to restore part but not all of them. 4 The record on appeal includes the minutes of the Association's May 2008 Board meeting. Four of the five Board members were present, including Margerison, who abstained from the voting. Of the three members present who voted, two voted in favor of Margerison's request and one voted against. DISSENTING OPINION BY CAROL M. HANSEN, Judge: ¶1 The majority mischaracterizes the issue as one dealing with whether a gate "could remain" in the fence. The original fence and gate are gone. ¶2 Charter Oaks Home Owners Association, is a gated community consisting of 65 lots. The 1983 charter and by-laws reserved a three foot perimeter and fence easement in favor of Association along the northern edge of the community. The fence had three gates at the time Plaintiffs purchased their lots. It is undisputed there is no provision in the charter, covenants or by-laws allowing lot owners to install a gate in the perimeter fence ¶3 In 2008, because the fence was deteriorating, Association advised Plaintiffs of its intention to replace the fence. Margerison, a member of Association's Board of Directors, at its meeting, received a minority vote purporting to allow him to install a gate in the fence at his own expense, which he did. However, Margerison did not have a majority vote by the Board members present approving his petition to install a gate.1 Later in 2009, Association, by a vote of the owners, demanded he remove the fence. ¶4 The original grant to COHA Charter provides: Grantor (Charter Oaks Homes) hereby grants to Charter Oaks Homeowners Association an easement, of the varying width shown on the accompanying plat, on all perimeter lots and lot 'B' as shown and designated on the plat for the several purposes of construction, maintaining, altering, repairing, removing and replacing retaining and screening walls, fences, and landscape materials on the exterior side thereof, with the right of ingress and egress in and to said easements for the uses and purposes aforesaid. ¶5 The plats also reflect an easement for maintenance and fencing. And again in 1990, a third amendment of declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions further contained a section on perimeter fencing or walls. It is even more indicative of an exclusive easement. It provides: Within the Deed of Dedication of Charter Oak there has been heretofore established for the benefit of the Association a perpetual easement upon the perimeter of Charter Oak for the purposes of the erection, installation, and maintenance of security and entry facilities, decorative fencing, walls and landscaping shall be the obligation of the Association. The perimeter easement of the Association shall be deemed exclusive, and no individual lot owners shall construct any fence or wall within the perimeter easement area or within 10 feet of the perimeter boundary line of Charter Oak, unless the proposed fence or wall shall have first been approved in writing by the association. ¶6 Clearly, Association has a right in the easement to build a perimeter fence consistent with the purpose of the easement. Plaintiffs admit Association owns the fence. Placing a gate in the fence is inconsistent with the easement and in conflict with the intended limited access and exclusive rights of Association.	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0085.json.gz/line971

It's a shame no one wants to talk to them at parties, because obituary writers are a surprisingly funny bunch. Ten hours before newspapers hit neighborhood doorsteps--and these days, ten minutes before news hits the web--an obit writer is racing against deadline to sum up a long and newsworthy life in under 1000 words. The details of these lives are then deposited into the cultural memory amid the daily beat of war, politics, and football scores. OBIT. is the first documentary to explore the world of these writers and their subjects, focusing on the legendary team at The New York Times, who approach their daily work with journalistic rigor and narrative flair. Going beyond the byline and into the minds of those chronicling life after death on the freshly inked front lines of history, the film invites some of the most essential questions we ask ourselves about life, memory, and the inevitable passage of time.

__label__cc	0.548642	0.451358	Home / Entertainment / TV 'Legacies' season 1 episode 14: Roman's return may turn everything upside down for Hope For episode 14, the show is bringing back a curly haired, Landon look-alike vampire who doesn't exactly have the strongest relationship with our heroine Hope. By Priyam Chhetri Published on : 01:02 PST, Mar 7, 2019 Tags :Legacies Looks like Legacies is trying to stir up some good old flames. With two love triangles already being unfurled in the last episode, between Hope (Danielle Rose Russell), Landon (Aria Shahghasemi) and Rafael (Peyton Alex Smith) and Alaric (Matthew Davis), Emma (Karen David) and Dorian (Demetrius Bridges), it looks like we are about to be flung into literally another rabbit hole of romance. For episode 14, the show is bringing back a curly haired, Landon look-alike vampire who doesn't exactly have the strongest relationship with our heroine Hope. Supernatural born leader. Stream @cwlegacies free on The CW App: https://t.co/m3FOYiB5Jh #TheOriginals pic.twitter.com/YgekuMnlFT — The Originals (@cworiginals) February 4, 2019 You guessed it, the only other boy from Hope's past, Roman Sienna (Jedidiah Goodacre) makes a return in the show and we aren't sure how to make sense of it. So does he want something from Hope? Is he, somehow, connected to Malivore? Or is he possibly trying to finish what his mother started? What's concerning is that when we left him the last time in 'The Originals', he wasn't on the best terms with Hope and understandably so. Roman's mom had a huge part to play in killing Hope's mom Hayley (she literally tried to yank her heart out), and he had lied to her consistently. He did seem like he was troubled about his mom's revenge plot but at the end of the day, he was just as much at fault as his mother. At the time, Hope and Roman had already enrolled in the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young and Gifted. They were buddies and classmates and eventually sparks flew that led them to run away together. As it turned out, unfortunately, that it had been Roman's plan all along to get Hope alone and kidnap her. 😥 Thanks for watching #TheOriginals! pic.twitter.com/J50E3Rw9cE — The Originals (@cworiginals) May 17, 2018 Hope has now moved on with Landon, and the two are going pretty strong. Episode 14's synopsis, however, reveals that Roman visiting the school gets Hope so distraught she loses her Tribrid mojo. Not a good time to lose out on magic since there's a new monster knocking on their door every week. In the last couple of weeks, they dealt with mummies, giant spiders, mind-controlling parasites, dragons, dryads, gargoyles, and monsters that can raise the dead and each time, Hope's magic and presence of mind have been crucial to getting them a win. She is, after all, one of her kind, and more powerful than all of the students and Alaric combined. With her magic compromised, it's going to be potentially troubling for the whole gang. Another thing is, an emotionally unstable Hope is not a great Hope. The last time she got emotionally swept away with things, she ended up creating a vampire who fed on a student and then jumped off the roof and also got her mom kidnapped that eventually got her killed. Not that both of the incidents were her fault, but she started a chain of reaction that she had no control over. Let's hope Hope can keep her cool.

__label__wiki	0.795674	0.795674	Home / Entertainment / Movies 'Lucy in the Sky': Reese Witherspoon shares teaser on social media, says she was honored to produce film The movie was to be released under the name 'Pale Blue Dot' with Witherspoon set to take the lead role. But in November 2017, she dropped out because of scheduling issues. By Rachel Windsor Published on : 11:46 PST, Mar 19, 2019 Recently, the trailer for 'Lucy in the Sky' released and actress Reese Witherspoon who is among the producers for the movie, took to her Instagram and revealed how excited she was to share the first look of the film. "Excited to share a first look at @lucyintheskyfilm with you all. 💫 Starring the incredible @natalieportman directed by #NoahHawley. It was an honor to produce this film with the whole @foxsearchlight team ⭐️," the post caption read, with a small clip from the trailer. In 2017, the movie was to be released under the name 'Pale Blue Dot' with Witherspoon set to take on the lead role. But in November 2017, Witherspoon dropped out because of scheduling issues with the second season of her HBO series 'Big Little Lies.' But even though Witherspoon dropped out of being the lead actress, she is still one of the executive producers along with John Cameron, Noah Hawley, and Bruna Papandrea. Following Witherspoon's withdrawal, Natalie Portman was brought in as the lead. 'Lucy in the Sky' revolves around an astronaut who returns back to earth after a long mission. Once she arrives, she begins an affair with her fellow astronaut. After which, she goes into a different phase in life and loses her connection with her family. Everything goes haywire when the astronaut she had an affair with starts to have another affair with an astronaut trainee. 'Lucy in the Sky' is based loosely on astronaut Lisa Nowak's alleged criminal activities that revolve around her intimacy with astronaut William Oefelein. “I go up there and see the whole universe and everything here looks so small,” Lucy (Portman) can be seen saying in the trailer. “You got to see the vast celestial everything and it blew your mind,” Mark (Jon Hamm) tells Lucy. “So now nothing makes sense.”	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0085.json.gz/line986
__label__cc	0.646087	0.353913	Home/Editor's Corner/2020 in Review-“Was It As Bad As They Say?” Editor's CornerExpert OpinionNews 2020 in Review-“Was It As Bad As They Say?” Alex Jahanbani Send an email December 16, 2020 When we look back at 2020 all we see is Coronavirus, some sort of dystopian world that until now only existed in movies or sci-fi novels. So far 1.5 million people have died of Coronavirus and around 70 million people have been infected. Many countries around the globe are at the brink of recession and millions of workers have been furloughed due to pandemic. So there are many good reasons for all of us to be depressed at best and to be hopeless at worst. But 2020 was more than a tragic year or a nightmare for so many people. It can be considered a catalyst, a transitory juncture that accelerated many trends that were already existed but their pace was too slow to be able to take the world by storm. For our industry 2020 brought mixed results. For magazines and newspapers which were already facing a steep decline in readership and dwindling circulation the situation got worse. Many publications switched to online subscription models and stopped print editions altogether. The demand for printing dropped and printers all over the world felt the pinch. However, package printing became a super vital element in the supply chain during pandemic and a savior of printing industry. Online shopping went through the roof and with it the demand for safe and corrugated packaging rose dramatically. Printers realized in order to survive they have to adapt and try other avenues in order to survive. The age of webinars With the cancellation of major trade events and B2B exhibitions in 2020 companies opted for webinars to showcase their products and galvanize their relationship with the customers. Webinars mushroomed in the virtual world and it has become the de facto mode of communication in our industry. Major manufacturers launched webinars loaded with information, new technologies and meaningful discussions and panels. For its part drupa also introduced drupa Preview, which offers a series of presentations and live web sessions from industry experts. drupapreview In 2019 if somebody would have predicted that face to face and in person meeting in printing industry would vanish overnight everybody would have called him a mad man or a mad woman (I mean the predictor could have been a woman). But it happened and even if the Coronavirus is resolved one way or another the culture and habit of webinar will be with us for many years to come. It won’t be a question of bad habit anymore. Companies now found out that they can do many things virtually. It is cheaper and hassle free. But for their customers, webinar is more convenient as well. During 2020 many companies in our region sprang into action and quickly set up all kinds of live webinars as a way of maintaining contact with their existing and potential customer. Perhaps the most talked about webinar was Canon Middle East (CME) state of printing industry webinar which was hosted in partnership with ME Printer Magazine. The webinar revealed the study’s results which was also conducted jointly with ME Printer magazine. The Canon ME Printing Industry Market Study 2020 has revealed that the print industry is at a turning point and the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the need for print service providers to transform their objectives and operational model, and to look toward new avenues to diversify their offerings. Canon ME Printing Industry Market Study 2020 There were other important virtual events including Gulf Print & Pack First Virtual Industry Round Table. Six panelists, representing leading MEA suppliers took part in the lively discussion, The year 2020 cannot be considered a year of major product announcement or disruptive technologies. It is more likely a year of progression and upgrade of existing hardware and new software. Many printers are now trying to rely on software and workflow rather than people. Web to Print solutions are also becoming very popular. Printers are now opting for prepress automation tool that allows their operators create workflows and manage the business process of prepress online. A number of Web to print solutions were introduced in 2020 that can help printers enter in this lucrative market. When it comes to web to print solutions one product that stands out is Customer’s Canvass by Aurigma. This technology also won Intertech Technology Award. This technology is customizable and enables printers to design and introduce online store fronts for their products. It supports third party software and provides an opportunity for printers to get a solution that is better tailored to their internal workflows and give their customers a more unique and intuitive experience. Intertech Technology Award Heidelberg, Koenig and Bauer, RMGT and other sheetfed manufacturers also introduced new sheetfed presses during 2020. By new I mean the enhanced and more automated version of their existing sheetfed presses. Heidelberg introduced new plate-to-unit technology and added yet another component to its Push to Stop concept. Other enhancement included FoilStart Cure, which is used to print metallic finishing effects with cold foil on inmold labels (IML) with LED UV on a Speedmaster XL 106. Koenig and Bauer introduced a new and good looking Rapida 106 X which is equipped with a wide range of automation tools and can be monitored and controlled via a mobile app. Now how cool is that! Koenig & Bauer also made headlines by launching Evo line range of CI flexo presses. The new presses are designed for short, mid-sized, and long runs and can run up to over 600 m/min. with web widths up to 2,000 mm. RMGT also introduced a new enhanced version of its 10 series. During 2020 the company which perhaps implemented a radical change in its infrastructure was Bobst. In spring of 2020 the company announced new industry vision which is based on four pillars: Connectivity, Digitalization, Automation and Sustainability. Bobst also a host of new equipment based on these four pillars including die-cutter MASTERCUT 106 PER and TooLink, connecting tooling with the machine, the new ACCUCHECK – an in-line solution to inspect carton blanks for defects and VISIONCUT 145 PER, the latest edition of large format flatbed die-cutter. The company also launched MASTERSTAR, sheet-to-sheet laminator, suitable for both folding carton and corrugated board. In flexible packaging, the new MASTER CI flexo press is Bobst newest solution for converters who are looking for a fast and sustainable flexo press. Bobst ACCUCHECK Regional Developments Printing industry trends during 2020 in our region are more or less similar to other regions around the world. Some believe we were less affected by the Coronavirus than other parts of the world. I don’t know how to interpret this. Does this mean we were less affected because we are less developed or because we took preventive measures early on? During 2020 there were investments in new equipment and printing facilities in our region. So it wasn’t all bad news. The Public Authority responsible for the printing and distribution of the Holy Quran and Prophetic Sunnah (traditions) and sciences in Kuwait recently announced the Authority’s plans for printing and distribution of Holy Quran. The Authority will invest 14 million dinars for this project which includes construction of a new modern print house. There were another announcement regarding printing of holy Quran during 2020. The Minister of Islamic Affairs, Advocacy and Guidance, the General Supervisor of King Fahd Complex for the Printing of the Holy Qur’an in Madinah, Sheikh Dr. Abdul Latif bin Abdulaziz Al Al-Sheikh, recently announced a number projects for production and translations of the Noble Qur’an. The projects included the printing of Qur’an in 13.5 x 3.19 cm and 35 x 24.5 cm formats, with the new improved script, and the translation of the Noble Qur’an into the Tagalog (More than 50 million Filipinos speak Tagalog) as well as 14 other languages including Tamazight, Bassa, Tagalog, Dagbani, Tajik, Malay, Mandarin, Anko, Turkish, Telugu, Farsi, Vietnamese, Malabari, and Nepali as well as sign language. Caretaker government of Yemen is planning to rebuild Bakathir press. The first phase includes complete repair and overhauling of three web presses to print the official November 30th weekly newspaper. Estimated repair cost is around $ 297,000. During The second phase commercial sheetfed presses will be restored. On a separate development the Yemen Ministry of Education in the temporary capital of Aden and the Kuwait Humanitarian Society for Relief signed an agreement for supplying 3 CTP (Computer to plate) equipment to Yemen. The CTP systems are yet to be delivered but the new prepress equipment will contribute to the modernization of the printing industry in Yemen. Xerox sold a number of machine in 2020 including to Egypt, Saudi Arabia and RAK. Xerox Versant 180 and Xerox Iridesse Digital Production Press proved to be popular choices among printers in our region. There were lots of developments in 3D printing sector in our region. Many startup companies are offering 3D printing services to regional markets. An exciting and successful knowledge based company is Innotech, a leading Omani company established in 2013, specialized in modern manufacturing technologies and 3D printing. It is the first company in Oman that provides a wide range of services including 3D printing, artificial intelligence applications and modern education technologies. The company was established by a group of Omani engineers interested in the manufacturing sector and education, ambitious young people who seek to bring about technological progress at the industrial and social level. The company also supports other institutions operating in the same field by supplying 3D printers, manufacturing equipment and devices, and providing maintenance services and spare parts for 3D printers. On the other hand, Immensa Technology Labs, the region’s leading additive manufacturing (3D Printing) company, has announced its foray into the Saudi market through the acquisition of two leading 3D- printing companies in KSA, Shakl3D and LayLabs. The move is part of Immensa’s mandate to further extend its presence regionally and expand its reach and range of services to its clients in the Kingdom. The company is based in Dubai Production City. Immensa Tehnology Surprisingly enough there were also investments in new offset presses, mainly in Saudi Arabia. Dammam based Shater Al- Ebtekar took delivery of an all new Heidelberg XL106 during 2020 as a sign of hope for the whole industry. There were some milestone events during 2020, which didn’t make lots of noise but it is very important nevertheless. United Security Printing (USP) part of the United Printing and Publishing Company(UPP) recently obtained International Organization for Standardization (ISO 14298) certification, the level of the Central Bank. This International Standard specifies requirements for a security printing management system for security printers. Achieving this standard USP will be the second company in the Gulf region, and the thirty-second in the world to hold this certificate. Polymer Banknote During 2020 Saudi Arabia and Egypt launched polymer banknotes with state-of-the-art security features. This is good news for our region and definitely will incentivize other countries in the region to launch polymer banknotes in different denominations. And 2021? 2021 is still a mystery to all of us. We are entering the new year with a blend of hope and dread. Vaccination is under way in UK, Russia and soon hopefully other countries will join them. But we haven’t still fully recovered from 2020 and the Coronavirus shock. I believe the great lesson of 2020 is that things can get even worse so we have to be always prepared and plan for unexpected. Coronavirus did teach us few lessons including automation and end to end workflow should be a norm and not a luxury. We also have to believe what we see on the screen of our computers. In- person and face to face meeting is a thing of the past and now we have learned that we can do many things virtually. Also printing is still a very important element of our daily lives. Some areas of printing are becoming obsolete but other areas including packaging and label are thriving. So let’s be hopeful. I mean 2020 was awful in many ways but soon it will be gone and we can start a new beginning.

I've done a little research into this and any help or info you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Photo of the contestant and Meredith for reference. The first time the clip was used was on June 16, 2010. That narrows it down to the end of Season 8. The "dreaded clock" is not visible. That narrows it down to Season 6. I've found a bunch of transcripts on this page. Nothing comes up when searching for "yankovic". If there are no missing episodes from 10/8/07 onward, then that narrows it down to the first 19 episodes of Season 6 (or that means it's in Season 5 or before). Google does not provide any help when searching for the question word for word. Of course, one of you might be able to recognize the contestant right away without any of the above information. If the episode isn't on Youtube or anywhere else online at the moment, just knowing the air date would suffice.

Differencing: We listen to differences; we discount sounds that remains the same. To make it easy for your conversation partners train to variate your voice. Filters like, culture, language, values, beliefs, attitudes, expectations, intentions etc. take us down to what we pay attention to. Exercise 1: Silence Just three minutes a day of silence is a wonderful exercise to reset your ears and to recalibrate, so that you can hear the quite again. Julian Treasure Exercise 2: The Mixer If I am in a noisy place like a coffee bar or in nature at a lake try to identify the different noises. How many individual channels of sound can I hear? Where are they? It improves the quality of my listening. Exercise 3: Savoring Learn to enjoy mundane sounds. It could be a tumble dryer or a coffee grinder. Try to identify repeating sound patterns or to find similar sounds. Exercise 4: Listening Positions Play with my listening positions, get conscious about them and move my listening position to different places, whatever is appropriate to listen to. I love the man that can smile in trouble that can gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection. Tis the business of little minds to shrink but he whose heart is firm and whose conscience approves his conduct will pursue his principles unto death. Man must vanquish himself must do himself violence in order to perform the slightest action untainted by evil. When I was a school kid in Coventry, I used to put up anti-apartheid stickers. The only way to generate sustained exponential growth is to make whatever you're making sufficiently good. The education of my brother and myself was of paramount importance to my parents, and in addition to their strong encouragement, they were prepared to make any sacrifice to further our intellectual development. Jerome Isaac Friedman The basic condition of human life is happiness. My first failure was to be born a child not wanted by his father or mother, as they parted shortly after I was born. Jeremy Lloyd Empower us women and we will change this whole entire world. The most important factors for a long life, I think, are partly in the genes; number two is lifestyle, which includes healthy diet and regular exercise. I walk, run and swim every day. However, I think too much exercise is also unhealthy because of over-stress; sometimes people who exercise too many hours per day die early. John Gokongwei I sure don't miss going out on auditions! Dinah Manoff To be a leader of men one must turn one's back on men. My first four books, from 'Fight Club' to 'Choke,' dealt with personal identity issues. The crises the narrators found themselves in were generated by themselves. I was a nervous kid, not great socially. When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving one's self, and one always ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance. I sort of got into Westerns... It was a sort of desperation move, really. I had several pictures that didn't go very well, and I just realised that I would have to try something else. It's doesn't just come overnight, you've got to train for it and believe in yourself; that's the most important thing. Mo Farah If you have God on your side, everything becomes clear. I was born and raised in the ghetto, on welfare, two minutes from homeless. If I didn't have the wrestling name that I have, I wouldn't have gotten the financial contract that I got with Strikeforce or the long-term contract or the television contract. That's all because of wrestling. Daniel Cormier I don't mind answering any questions, because I'm not just a fighter. I'm a lot more than that. My father raised me to build computers, hardware. Literally, as an 8 year old, I had a soldering iron and circuit boards, and this was in neighbourhoods that wouldn't have a whole lot of money or anything. And I figured out ways to just hustle. My hope is that that person will come forward that can win the presidency that we can all get behind. The consumption of petroleum should be conserved. We need to adopt some austerity measures. The people should cooperate with us. Veerappa Moily I've seen a lot in my life. I've seen a lot of winning. I've seen a lot of testing times. I think when you're tested, you really find out what you're made of, OK?	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0085.json.gz/line999

The business adds at least 20 items to its menu this time of year, and it typically hires six to eight new employees for the holidays, because they start making their stollen Christmas cake in mid-November. Kathy and Tom Dove have been coming to the shop for years, and say they send the cake out for Christmas. They visit the shop so often, workers named their drink order after Kathy. “Our favorite thing is probably the staff, the people that work here are remarkably professional, friendly, open and they remember our names,” said Dove. But Wich said she’s having a harder and harder time finding reliable people to hire. More than once this week, she’s had potential employees not show up for interviews. The unemployment rate in Missoula is one of the lowest in the state at 2.7 percent. “That’s what makes it difficult, you get to a point where so few people are unemployed that those who are looking for work and those that are most qualified are ones that are already working,” she said. Wich said she just needs people that can help prepare, bake, and mail holiday orders.	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0085.json.gz/line1001

The project, directed by Dan Trachtenberg (10 Cloverfield Lane, Black Mirror), is based off William Kalush and Larry Sloman’s book The Secret Life of Houdini: The Making of America’s First Superhero. The book entertains the idea that Houdini was a secret agent who investigated the occult, described as being “part Indiana Jones and part Sherlock Holmes.” However, in an update from /Film, it turns out that Affleck will not be taking on the role of Houdini. Instead, Affleck will take on a supporting role as an agent-type character. But just because Affleck isn't the title character doesn't mean he will fade into the background. THR described Affleck’s part in the film as a “star vehicle,” so we know the role will be pivotal in the movie's plot. Disney's Houdini picture has been in the works for years now. Trachtenberg has been attached to direct since 2016. Former Warner Bros. executive and producer Jeff Robinov is responsible for getting the ball rolling again under his Studio 8 banner. Affleck has his plate full with George Clooney’s The Tender Bar and Andy Muschietti’s The Flash, where he will reprise his role as Batman. This could potentially hinder Houdini’s timeline. It’s unclear how quickly production will advance from here, but getting Affleck attached to the project is a significant step forward.

__label__wiki	0.717	0.717	The Prospector The student news site of Manitou Springs High School Football loses in double OT, players reflect In a nail-biter that came down to literally the last point, the Manitou football team lost their first round playoff game to the Brush Beetdiggers on Saturday, November 3. This loss officially ended Manitou’s season, and was most likely the last time many seniors would play football. “It’s hard being a senior and knowing that this could be your last game, with that final buzzer going and knowing that it’s over,” said senior captain KC Quarry. The game got off to a quick start for the Mustangs; a long drive downfield resulted a touchdown by senior captain Chad Sienknecht. The second quarter began with a Brush touchdown and extra kick, putting the Beetdiggers ahead. Manitou quickly retaliated with a one-handed touchdown catch by junior Morgan Burnell, making the halftime score 12-7 Mustangs. Quarterback Johnny Swanson fakes a pass and decides to run the ball. Photo by Susie Smith The Mustangs began the third quarter with a third touchdown and extra point by senior kicker Ashley Benson, but Brush dominated the rest of the second half. “We came out kind of flat (in the first half); the ball seemed to go their way and they did a great job of coming after us,” said Brush head coach Randy Dreitz. “We were fortunate enough in the second half to be able to stop them and score some points.” Brush scored twice, unanswered, in the second half, but the Mustangs were able to block both extra point attempts, making the score 19-19. Manitou was unable to drive downfield to score in the fourth, so the game went to overtime. High school overtime is designed to be time efficient and as fair as possible, with each team getting four chances to score from the ten-yard line. “It’s tough, but it’s equal,” said Manitou head coach Dan Gieck. “Everybody gets an opportunity and whoever makes the plays is going to win the game.” Both teams were able to score and make the extremely pressured extra kicks, forcing double overtime. “It wasn’t the way I pictured it, but we just had to keep fighting,” said Sienknecht. Manitou went first and scored again, but Benson was unable to convert the extra point, putting the Mustangs only six points up instead of seven. Brush was able to score and made the extra kick afterwards, sealing Manitou’s fate. “There are a lot of things involved [in a kick]. It’s nerve-wracking,” said Dreitz. The Mustangs’ season ended in double overtime, with Brush advancing to play no. 1 Kent Devner. The Mustangs walk back to the locker room after a double overtime loss to end their season. Both coaches and players reacted to the difficult end of their season. “We definitely played hard today. I think they wanted it a little bit more throughout the middle of the game, but we definitely played hard,” said junior Johnny Swanson. “All season long we played tough, so you can’t really be sad about it too much. It was a good year.” “I knew what the kids were capable of, and I’m not surprised at what they’ve accomplished,” said Gieck. “It feels good to have been a part of that.” Quarry reflected, with tears in his eyes, on his last year of football. “I don’t regret any moment of this season. It was a heck of a run for us.” By Keegan Bockhorst Keegan Bockhorst INSTAGRAM @MSHSPROSPECTOR mshsprospector Cute pets right!

Apryl Jones from Love & Hip Hop is going viral on social media this morning - after she went on Live last night, and showed off her stripper pole skills. The Love & Hip Hop starlet is the mother of two of R&B singer Omarion's children and her latest Live has people talking! Here's the video that's causing a stir: Of course Twitter has reacted on the video - which has already been seen by more than 3,000,000 people. Here are some of the reactions to the video: She's fine as hell but most super hoes are I was surprised to hear/see how gutter she is tho...she's on IG live acting a straight fool This Live along with Apryl's behavior over the past year has not only caused people to "talk" about her but has many of her fans both baffled and worried. When Apryl first appeared in the public eye she was very, very different. She seemed regular - more like the girl next door. Over the past year, however, she 's been engaging in more outrageous and attention seeking behavior which has many to speculate as to the cause. Whatever you say about Apryl though, you can't say that she's not beautiful. Here are some more pictures of Apryl looking great: Apryl recently celebrated her son Megaa's birthday along with her new "friend" Lil Fizz. Apryl and Omarion’s son celebrated his fifth birthday about a week ago. The celebrity mom told her Instagram fans that Megaa’s birthday “was epic.” Apryl also took to social media to dote on her son. “Five years ago I birthed this amazing human,” Jones wrote of her son. “Where has the time gone,” the celebrity mom asked. “I’m so blessed to be your mother,” Apryl wrote to Megaa. “You continue to amaze me year after year.” Despite the cause for celebration, the drama between Apryl and Omarion continues as the celebrity parents work out the terms of their pending divorce. Apryl brought Lil’ Fizz to a court hearing a few days ago, which fueled rumors of the celebrity mom and the rapper being an item. “Why is Fizz going to court with Apryl,” one online fan asked. Another critic wrote, “Fizz should NOT be in court for Apryl and O’s divorce drama … and taking APRYL’S side! He’s so foul!” omarionbabys mother	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0085.json.gz/line1011
__label__cc	0.686824	0.313176	My Detroit Lawyer About Purna LawPay- Direct payments for existing clients In Michigan a petition must be filed in order to have a record expunged. To have a record "expunged" is the same as having it "set aside," there is no distinction made. Petitioning the state for an expungement, if granted, means that agencies running criminal background checks will not be able to pull up a history of this conviction when they search you (i.e. the record is made nonpublic). Certain types of crimes cannot be expunged, such as: * Convictions for felonies or attempted felonies which are punishable by life imprisonment * Convictions for felony criminal sexual conduct in the first, second or third degree (MCL 750.520c, MCL 750.520d, MCL 750.520g ) or assault with intent to commit criminal sexual conduct * Convictions or adjudications for traffic offenses * Convictions for non-traffic offenses reportable to the Secretary of State (e.g. – controlled substance possession, if listed under the Michigan Vehicle Code) In Michigan a person that has been convicted of a crime may apply for an expungement so long as they have no more than one felony and two misdemeanor convictions on their record. If you answer “yes” to any of the following questions below you are, unfortunately, not eligible to petition the state of Michigan for a criminal expungement. However, if your answer to all the questions below is “no” you may be eligible for an expungement in the state of Michigan. Do you have a federal conviction? Do you have a criminal conviction in another state? Were you convicted of a felony or an attempt to commit a felony for which the maximum punishment is life imprisonment? Were you convicted of felony criminal sexual conduct (first, second, or third degree), or assault with intent to commit criminal sexual conduct? Is the conviction you want to have set aside a traffic offense? A traffic offense is a conviction for violating the Michigan Vehicle Code or a local ordinance substantially corresponding to that act, which violation involves the operation of a vehicle. Has it been less than five years since the date of your conviction, or if you were imprisoned, has it been less than five years since you were released, discharged from parole or completed probation (whichever occurred last)? Other considerations to keep in mind: The Attorney General and county prosecutor will be given an opportunity to contest the application. If the conviction was for an assaultive crime or serious misdemeanor, the prosecuting attorney is obligated to notify the victim of the application. The victim has the right to appear at the expungement proceeding and to make an oral or written statement. MCL 780.621 (7). Multiple convictions or counts stemming from one incident or one court case count as multiple convictions. Even if you meet all of the criteria for expungement, the court still has discretion on whether to grant an expungement. The MDOC will expunge records if it receives a TRUE COPY of the expungement order. If you need any assistance determining whether or not you are eligible, or if you have any further questions regarding expungements, please feel free to call us at (248) 358-6995.

What are the external factors that help young companies thrive? We profile a trio of clever cities, where doing business is a pleasure – and that are bound to flourish when the world gets moving again. Josh Fehnert reporting from London: With public spaces shuttered and a third of the world in lockdown, coronavirus has fundamentally altered how we do business. But change isn’t always bad. Here are some positive takehomes. Better business / Armenia Conny Mirbach Yerevan, Armenia’s capital city, lies in the flatlands and foothills of a biblical mountain, nestled like a goose in lush grass. Noah’s Ark was spared on the summit of Ararat and on bone-cold days its snow shines as brilliant as a lighthouse, like a full moon trapped in daylight. In fine weather the mountain dominates the city and every view is a view of Ararat. Often it isn’t the horizon, it’s the sky. Ararat dominates supermarkets, services and shopfronts too: the mountain lends its name and silhouette to a famous brandy, to cafés and car dealerships. But the mountain, like a few things of which Armenia is proud, no longer lies in the country. The Ottoman genocide and landgrab of the early 20th century leaves the mountain sitting in Turkey. Ararat itself is part of a potent, engaged and, perhaps, homesick, Armenian diaspora. Perhaps their history, like their mountain, causes Armenians to look up, to look onward. “The population of Armenia is three times smaller than the number of Armenians abroad,” says Zareh Sinanyan, high commissioner for diaspora affairs of the almost three million-strong republic. Part of his main job is to lure back the best and brightest of the supposed nine million or so living elsewhere. “We at the commission focus on economic affairs and repatriation – that’s one of our mega goals.” Sinanyan – trim, smiling and sharp in his sun-soaked office near Republic Square – is himself a good advertisement for this relatively new government programme. “Yup, I was the mayor of Glendale in California and I just resigned all my positions and came over in June of last year,” says Sinanyan, who was born in Armenia but sounds about as American as a former US mayor should. “I was president of the airport and I was on the metropolitan water board, which distributes 70 per cent of California’s water. But since I’ve come back I’ve met a lot of people who’ve done the same; they hadcomfortable lives where they were but they said, ‘I want to be part of this.’” “This” is an Armenia striving to eradicate corruption, shake off an economic and cultural Soviet hangover and now deal with the fallout from coronavirus. The diaspora is proving critical for all of it. Recently many have volunteered and asked how they can help with the pandemic, says Sinanyan. “We received a shipment of medical equipment speedily deployed from the US west coast,” he says. “And an online training programme has been set up with the help of our virologists in the diaspora – that has been a great help.” The prime minister, Nikol Pashinyan, led a velvet revolution in 2018 that promised democracy, accountability and opportunity. Until now the economy has been doing well, enjoying 5.2 per cent GDP growth in the first half of last year, low inflation and a general reduction in poverty. Finding and hiring the people to sustain this positive development is, in part, Sinanyan’s work. “Number one on my wish list is more involvement from highly professional individuals for the governance of the country, real civil servants,” he says, punctuating the words to show that he means they should be both civil and servants of the public. “We need people who can negate the Soviet culture and mentality, and replace it with the can-do, problem-solving attitude that we’re used to in the west.” The current difficulties have offered an unplanned test of the state and people’s trust in it. “Oh, for sure,” says Sinanyan. “We have tried to make everything transparent – no matter how bad the news – so that we can fight it together. And there has been a lot of buy-in from the public.” Sinanyan is very involved with Neruzh (“potential”), a government-backed talent contest for new businesses, often but not exclusively in IT. The prize is office or manufacturing space, plus consulting, financial, legal and accounting services. The only proviso? They have to move to and operate their business in Armenia. “And you know – there is no shortage of people who want to do that,” says the high commissioner.

Aramjan shifted the nuts, bolts and laptops of his operation from Rotterdam to Yerevan, where he employs 10 engineers to design and develop software for, at the moment, an entirely Dutch client base that includes dhl and Co-op supermarkets. He is currently expanding to meet demand. “There’s a good talent pool here,” he says. “There are plenty of engineers with a mathematical background – that’s what we can tap into. The skills are great; they just need experience. But hopefully we are giving people interesting problems to solve.” Yerevan’s problems are not those of the Netherlands: few Armenians are swiping a screen to demand a cake be delivered in a mean half hour. Storegear’s office is in the same building as the Armenian Coding Academy, where there is a palpable desire to complete the jigsaw puzzle of start-up success by advising, recommending, hiring, nudging and bringing people together. “Yes, it’s a bit of a conveyor belt,” says Aramjan. “It’s very convenient. Armenia in numbers Population online: 72 per cent GDP growth: 5.2 per cent (in first half of 2019) Unemployment: 17.7 per cent Exports total: $2.4bn (€2.2bn) Exports by product: Copper ore (35 per cent), tobacco (9.5 per cent), liquor (8.4 per cent) Sectors of largest companies: Mining, smelting, gas extraction and heavy industry. On the floor below his office, Aramjan introduces me to the folk of the Foundation for Armenian Science and Technology (Fast), a nonprofit organisation funded by a wealthy diaspora of Armenians that helps small businesses. The network in this building is very real despite using the language of the virtual: funding is supplied by “angels”, advice is an “incubator”, knowing people is an “ecosystem”, success is “leapfrogging” and so on. Fast is set up like the standard Silicon Valley office: an adult playpen. I’m shown to a meditation room with as much hushed reverence as that attendant to the birth of a panda in captivity. Yet the intention is very clear and the staff arrow-straight in their ambition and hunger for the future. “We want to become a strong scientific nation again,” says Suzanna Shamakhyan, Fast’s vice-president of partnerships and programmes. “So we work with start-ups that need funding, especially in AI and biotech. We also focus on advanced materials and robotics, scientific fields that will give Armenia the opportunity to be part of the global value chain.” Every October, Fast stages its Global Innovation Forum in Yerevan, providing a platform for science, business, investors and policymakers to meet. Last year’s event entertained delegates from Microsoft, Google’s AI offshoot Deepmind, Facebook, mit and Stanford University. “Now there is hype and hope, says Shamakhyan. “Because of the recent political changes people no longer think that Armenia is too corrupt or too conservative to do anything new. People think, ‘We can invest our time and effort here.’” (Just don’t show them the meditation room.) The grand vision and noble sentiments of some of the wealthier elements of the Armenian diaspora are nowhere more evident than in the work of Tumo. Founded and funded by the Sam and Sylva Simonian Foundation (the Beirut-born, Dallas-based Simonians made their fortune in telecoms technology), the Tumo Center for Creative Technologies was set up in 2011 to offer a state-of-the-art education facility for teenagers. Harmick Azarian – of course, an Armenian, though from Wales – is chief of staff and designed much of the technology for the hundreds of students, who can learn photography, film-making, illustration, graphic design, robotics, web programming and music production under this one roof. “We try to push people away from believing that they’re either a creative person or a technology person,” says Azarian. “The best product at the end is when you can do both.” He describes the Simonians’ funding as, “very targeted philanthropy with a real focus on the future”. It feels that way at Tumo – as though the future is something these young people will grasp this evening on their way home, that it might be close enough to touch. The latest addition to the Tumo family is the design workshop Tumo Studios that opened its doors in 2017 thanks to funding from the John and Hasmik Mgrdichian Foundation (based in Los Angeles) and offers free courses in everything from printmaking to ceramics. Based in a once-grand 19th-century apartment building, it sings with a sort of happy creativity. Professionals from beyond Armenia teach courses every month: Reza Abadini, an Iranian graphic designer, is overseeing the hanging of his students’ print works in one room while Chiharu Ishikawa, a Japanese ceramicist, leads a pottery session. Maral Mikirditsian – another diaspora Armenian who grew up in Beirut – is head of Tumo Studios and breezes from room toroom showing off young designers’ work. “We’re young, we’re fresh and it’s very powerful to feel that we’re building this country,” says Mikirditsian. “We teach people but we encourage them to be ambitious too, to make their own brands, to be involved in the market, to be entrepreneurial. When a student can see their designs being bought and enjoyed it’s amazing.” There’s some very joined-up thinking at work here: everyone at Tumo is encouraged to test their ideas in the real world. Tumo Center is now exporting its expertise: three other sites around Armenia and two in Paris and Beirut do a similar thing on a smaller scale. They will soon be joined by openings in Berlin, Moscow and Kiev. The diaspora marches onward. In the Old Testament, after the flood, on the plains beneath Ararat, Noah planted the first vineyard, had a good harvest and got a bit merry. Armenian wine was the first to be written about but, according to Vahe Keushguerian, vintner and founder of WineWorks, for years it was not something to write home about. “Sure, there was wine but it was Soviet style,” says Keushguerian. “The Russians saw a European wine press and made a bad copy of it. There was no new investment so it was horrible.” Vineyards existed to slake the thirst of Armenia’s brandy industry and wine became like moonshine; people made their own and held their noses as they drank. Since 2011, Keushguerian and his daughter Aimee have run WineWorks, creating their own reds, whites and sparkling wines as well as consulting and making wine for others. “Other winemakers came with their grapes and asked if I could make their wine for them,” says Keushguerian. “Now it’s become a business model. We’ve done 14 or 15 projects like this that have sped up the culture and the industry.” Keushguerian’s journey to revamping Armenia’s wine industry has been long and eventful. “I was born in Syria and grew up in Lebanon until I was 19,” he says. “I went to Italy for three years and discovered politics, socialism and everything that goes with it, so 1975 and 1976 was a good time,” he adds with a smirk as we drive to his winery on the outskirts of town. “Then what? Oh yeah, I went to the US to finish my studies, I opened a restaurant in the Bay area, became a wine importer and then moved to Tuscany with my 11-month-old twins. I was there 12 years, had vineyards, made wine and then, in 1997, I came to Armenia and caught the bug. I guess I came home.” Ask around in a Yerevan wine bar, of which there is now a giddy concentration, and people will tell you that Keushguerian is Armenia’s Mr Wine and can take credit for bottling a renaissance. Export is the big hope, the next stop on a journey that will be steered by Aimee over the coming years. The tasting is a fine way to finish the day, the wines excellent, the blood singing with khatuni, areni, tozot and more than a dozen other unhailed grape varietals. Ararat glows in the sunset and tomorrow Yerevan seems primed to bask in a bright dawn. Armenian diaspora figures funding development 1.

Unless it can embrace greater diversity - in gender, age, ethnicity, disabilities and experience - it will face a stagnating workforce, and be unable to keep up with a rapidly expanding skills gap, a new report has argued. According to the Enterprise Strategy Group, the number of organisations reporting a problematic shortage of cyber security skills has increased every year since 2015. At the same time, CIISec’s survey of information security professionals showed that 89 per cent of respondents were male, and 89 per cent were over 35; meaning the profession is still very much in the hands of older men. Many organisations pointed to the need to develop specialist security skills as a reason for reduced diversity, as employees need the right technical background. Yet the majority of IT security professionals - 65 per cent - still believe that the best way to develop security skills is to learn on the job. “The expectation that security is purely a technical subject has led to a focus only on very specific individuals to fulfil roles,” said Amanda Finch, chief executive of the Chartered Institute of Information Security. “Even if we weren’t in the middle of a skills crisis, increased diversity should be a priority, but the present situation makes it critical. “Expanding the industry’s horizons isn’t only essential to make sure the industry has the skills it needs,” she continued, adding: “It will give a whole range of individuals the opportunity to thrive in a new career, and in the long term protect the industry from stagnation by introducing more varied backgrounds.” As well as expanding its own horizons, the industry also needs to make a more diverse audience aware of the benefits a career in security can provide and encourage them to switch careers or begin a new path, the report suggested, with 86 per cent of information security professionals stating the industry will grow over the next three years – and 13 per cent said it will “boom”. John Amer, a security architect at BT, commented: “As the security industry continues to evolve, it’s absolutely critical that we attract people from different areas. “A diverse workforce helps to bring a wide range of skills and perspectives, which is essential to address the range of opportunities and threats that an increasingly digital world provides.” Gov confirms work on second contact tracing app Zoom acquires Keybase to enhance encryption Virgin Media and O2 agree £31bn merger UK dodges new WhatsApp data sharing rules Bionic arm startup secures £4.6m funding Commercial drone market to be worth over $15bn Alibaba buys German data startup for £80m Parler sues Amazon after it suspends account Telcos scramble to mitigate DNS attacks Feature: Pandemic cyber-crime separates the strong from the weak Ieso Digital Health closes £18m funding round Army trains in virtual reality with £1m trial Uber fined £900k over data breach Amazon workers move to join first union Google completes $2.1bn Fitbit purchase COVID-19 digital passport moves into trial phase © 2019 Perspective Publishing Privacy & Cookies	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0085.json.gz/line1028

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex took part in a live video chat with Malala Yousafzai on Sunday to celebrate the International Day of the Girl and opened up about how they have been able to spend more time as a family throughout the past few months. “We were both there for his first steps,” Harry said of son Archie. “His first run, his first fall, his first everything.” “In so many ways we are fortunate to be able to have this time to watch him grow, and in the absence of COVID, we would be traveling and working more,” Meghan added. “We’d miss a lot of those moments.” Earlier this month, Meghan shared that Archie was happily settling in to life in the family’s new home in Santa Barbara, California. “We are doing well. [Archie] is so good,” she said during a video call with the Evening Standard to help kick off Black History Month in the U.K. “We are very lucky with our little one. He is just so busy, he is all over the place. He keeps us on our toes. We are just so lucky.” Harry previously revealed that he and Archie have been spending plenty of time outdoors amid the coronavirus pandemic. “I've got a little space outside, which I'm fortunate enough to have so I need to get him playing some Rugby League,” he said in an August video chat. “Our little man is our number one priority, but our work after that is the second priority and we’re just trying to do everything we can to do our part to make the world a better place.” The family’s new home in the Montecito community of Santa Barbara also came with a surprise for Archie. “Archie is really happy, and he has space to run free,” a source previously told PEOPLE. “The house came with a play structure that he’ll be climbing in no time.” This story originally appeared on People .

__label__wiki	0.591634	0.591634	How to rid East Africa of locusts? Serve them in a kebab or drive them to cannibalism Thursday, 2 July 2020 07:00 GMT A swarm of desert locusts flies over a ranch near the town on Nanyuki in Laikipia county, Kenya, February 21, 2020. REUTERS/Baz Ratner Scientists are experimenting with the use of locusts as human and animal food as the worst swarms in generations threaten crops By Ayenat Mersie NAIROBI, July 2, (Reuters) - Eat them, poison them, and use scent to drive them to cannibalism - as a second wave of locusts threatens to devour East Africa's crops, scientists in a Nairobi lab are experimenting with novel ways to kill them. Swarms are the worst for three generations, encouraged by unseasonably wet weather and dispersed by a record number of cyclones. The destructive pests could cost East Africa and Yemen $8.5 billion this year, the World Bank has said. Locusts are usually controlled by spraying them with pesticides before they can fly, but the chemicals can damage other insects and the environment. So scientists at the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (ICIPE) are experimenting with biopesticides and the use of locusts as human and animal food as they look for environmentally-friendly extermination methods. ICIPE researchers were a part of a group that discovered an isolate from a fungus, Metharizium acridum, could kill locusts without harming other creatures. The isolate is now being used across East Africa. Now researchers are pouring through 500 other fungi and microbes in their bio bank in the hope of discovering another locust poison. ICIPE scientist Baldwyn Torto's research has mostly focused on locust smells and pheromones. Before locusts can fly they have a certain chemistry and therefore a unique smell that allows them to remain in a group, he said. That smell changes as locusts mature. Disseminating the scent of an adult among the young can help destroy swarms. "They get disoriented, the group breaks into pieces, they cannibalize each other and they become even more susceptible to biopesticides," he said. A lower-tech, but still environmentally-friendly way of combating locusts is eating them. ICIPE is developing nets and backpack-vacuums to capture large numbers of locusts. The protein-rich insects can then be cooked or crushed into meal or oil suitable for animal feed or human consumption. ICIPE organizes regular events to normalize the consumption of insects. Researcher Chrysantus Tanga eats the insects himself. In the ICIPE cafe, the heads, legs and wings have been removed. "They have to make it presentable for a first-timer," Tanga said motioning towards colourful plates of locust-based meals prepared by ICIPE chefs, ranging from deep fried with tartar sauce, to skewered among vegetables in a kebab. "For me, I'll eat 100% of it... whatever is crunchy." (Editing by Katharine Houreld and Alexandra Hudson)	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0085.json.gz/line1044

Though for the longest time, it seemed that not unlike John Cena, Roman Reigns would reign at number 1 till the end of his career. Despite quickly rising to the top as one of the good-guys in 2014, he seemed to be getting increasingly negative reactions from the WWE universe. Having taken time away from WWE during the initial few months of the pandemic, he was able to return with a new attitude in August 2020. Though since then, the four-time WrestleMania main-eventer has stated that he sees nobody who stands out enough with the potential to replace him as the top main-eventer in the years to come. With that in mind, let’s take a look at five WWE superstars who could realistically replace him. Replacements for Roman Reigns Our top pick for this would be Bray Wyatt. He has had a career resurgence like no other. When he re-debuted in 2013 as a part of the Wyatt Family, he quickly gained popularity. He was very compelling and got high profile matches against the likes of Undertaker and John Cena. However, he was losing several big matches and losing his popularity with it. However, in 2019 he reinvented himself as 2 different personas: “The Fiend” and “Firefly Fun House”. This has helped him stay relevant and proven that he is still quite captivating. He has proven that he is more than capable of replacing Roman Reigns. Sasha Banks is another contender for this spot. She has had a few difficult moments after dropping out of WWE RAW women’s championship in September 2017. But all things considered, she has had quite a comeback. Having featured prominently on WWE television with Bayley, she is currently more than worthy of being a main event character for WWE’s shows. She is young, at 28, and she has great potential as a replacement for Roman Reigns. Our third possible replacement is Adam Cole. He has already cemented himself as one of the top superstars in WWE NXT history. Though he is likely to remain with NXT for some more time, he is one of the top wrestlers from that group. If he is to make a permanent shift to RAW or Smackdown, he will start as a main event contender capable of taking Roman Reigns’ place. One of WWE’s most established names over the last few years has been Seth Rollins. He has had plenty of appearance in main event pay per views. He is very well known and tends to deliver. He’s 34, so he potentially can go for another decade. He is currently putting out some of the best performances in his career at the moment. There’s no reason why he cannot go on to replace Roman Reigns in time. Our final potential replacement is Becky Lynch. In Reign’s time away due to his battle with leukaemia, she stepped up more than anyone else. She has been very popular. In Wrestle Mania 35, she even ended up main eventing against Ronda Rousey. Though she has taken time off post her pregnancy announcement, if she does come back, she has the potential to take on Roman Reign’s spot. These are our top picks for replacements for Roman Reigns. They have the most potential to take WWE to greater heights. 0Haha 0Shocked 0Sad 0Angry Ashwin Abraham I’m an engineering student who likes to write and talk about anything.

__label__wiki	0.775608	0.775608	Sick Room The kick-ass, in-yer-face Athens, Georgia-based trio knows how to raise a ruckus with both its indie noise-rock tunes and its highly inflammatory band name. Erica Strout (guitar), Erika Rickson (drums), and Mandy Branch (bass) aren’t ones to limit their music style with descriptive labels either, stating on their Facebook page that they’re “post post” while most music sites tag the band as sludge-rock, alt-rock, or punk. Debut album Confetti will be out on July 28th on Sick Room Records and the band members recently finished up a short tour with a gig at Athfest. Despite the album’s fun title, it’s not a wave-your-hands-in-the-air, party-rock platter, but an unapologetically down and dirty, knock ‘em dead indie rock album. Erica, Erika, and Mandy released a 3-song teaser of Confetti on their BandCamp profile back in May, which includes the L7-like title track (AKA “Confetti In Your Fucking Face”), and also bowed a wild (Just check out that ending!) video for it which was directed by Dominar Films. The main idea behind the song is about wanting to emotionally explode, but holding back the inner turmoil by imagining throwing confetti in someone’s face instead of hurling verbal abuse. This concept aptly captures the spirit of the whole 9-song album, which blends aggression, exasperation, and frustration, with conviction, invigoration, and purgation. The sound of Confetti is seriously ferocious from the get-go, as the band rips through the driving album-starter “I’m Fucking Dick Dale”. Distorted guitar riffs and low-end bass grind through the slammed, primal drum beat and cymbal smash while Erica directly intones the short-phrase, raw lyrics “When I hit you / You won’t know what to do.” Erica’s vocals rise in intensity as she unleashes the same lyrics cycle in an exclamatory tone amid the drum rhythm acceleration and thick guitar fuzz. In keeping with the song title, a brief line of reverb guitar reels out near the end of the tune. The sludgy sonic onslaught doesn’t stop as “Methwitches” kicks into high gear with a propulsive bass line and drum bash. With a droning guitar line behind her, Erica adopts a lighter vocal tone, sing-talking in a dreamy, hypnotic register “Tell me, have they threatened you? / Tell me who they are…” Discordant guitar distortion reverberates through the dangerously anarchic thrills of “Wild Cherry Nightmare”. Erica menacingly stalks through the stark ‘steal and destroy’ coda of “…the great escape / With our guns ablaze / we’re gonna lay down waste.” A quick breakdown of kinetic drum beats and keen guitar jags escalates to a scorching boil as Erica shouts out “What we steal is what we get.” The band detunes it even more on “I Want The F”, a noisy, heavy number that ups the chaotic attack factor while inserting short, but vivid-imagery lyrics like “Let them eat cake”, “guillotine death”, and “in a pretty dress” that conjure up Marie-Antoinette’s unfortunate fate. The vocal salvos segue into a tense simmer of a quick-picked guitar line and speedy marching drumbeat. The drums disappear and leave only the deceleration of the guitar pace before the clangorous stew returns. Atonal guitar scariness haunts the start of “Carl Sagan’s Ghost” until a galloping beat comes in along with thrashed out guitars and a charging bass line. A dispassionate Erica packs in a bunch of questions about the uncertain workings of the cosmos and the dichotomy between science and faith (Can fact and belief coexist?) in only a few spare phrases. While her tone may be detached, she does connect with the hopeful line “Somewhere something incredible is waiting to be known.” Bad vibes radiate lyrics-wise from “Good Time” as Erica goes in lean ‘n’ mean, reciting cold-bloodedly “We come in through your window at night… / Switchblade in hand / searching for a sign of life.” A foreboding, low-slung bass line and rapid fire drum beat rampage through the tune as Erica delivers the kicker line that begins with “You don’t need to have a brain / to have a good time.” A repetitive guitar riff commences the slow-churning trudge of “Nobody Leaves This Place Without Singin’ The Blues” before distorted guitar fuzz and a pronounced drum beat make their mark. Erica pulls out her words deliberately, stating blearily “You don’t know where the night will go / You can’t hide…” while broiling guitar lines, dynamic drums, and scintillating cymbals hits support her. She encapsulates modern nightlife in a nutshell by declaring “This is how we disconnect.” Album-ender “ZANG” turns that downer thought around 180 degrees with a jittery squall of agitated sonics that includes zig-zagging guitar riffs, a super-kinetic drumbeat, and a defiant Erica proclaiming “I don’t need your advice.” Review by Jen Dan	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0085.json.gz/line1053

About & Subscribe Need to Do Something NOWRIGHTNOW to Fight Back Against [Fresh Horror]? Stuff We Like at One Thing You Can Do The Most Important Thing You Can Do Your 2021 To-Do List: There Are No More Off-years, Only Less Intense Years Help Tony the Democrat Send Postcards to Voters in All 67 Counties in Florida, Telling Them About Florida Vote by Mail July 8, 2020 July 7, 2020 otycd This OTYCD article first appeared in February 2020. We will repeat it once a month until the GOTV postcard campaign deadline passes. Help OTYCD friend Tony the Democrat, founder of Postcards to Voters, with the Florida Vote by Mail campaign–an effort to send postcards to voters in all 67 counties in the state, reminding them about the option to vote by mail. Florida Vote by Mail is the largest, most ambitious, and longest project Postcards to Voters has pursued since it sprung into being in early 2017. The Florida Vote by Mail campaign began around August 2018. To date, its postcard-writers have dispatched at least 600,000 postcards telling voters in 20 Florida counties about how to vote by mail. Tony the Democrat says that “we have been picking up speed and volume,” and he anticipates that the postcard army will have sent 1.1 million postcards promoting Florida Vote by Mail by the time the campaign ends (the precise deadline date isn’t set yet, but things will likely finish in late August or early September). But! Adding 500,000 to the overall total won’t be enough to reach every receptive voter in Florida. Can you help Tony the Democrat and the postcard army do even better than they expect? As per usual, postcard-writers provide their own supplies: postcards, pens, postcard stamps (they cost 35 cents each), and any other flourishes you like, such as rubber stamps or washi tape. If you are new to writing get-out-the-vote (GOTV) postcards to voters, see the Volunteer page and learn how to sign up. If you are already an approved member of the postcard army, text or email and ask for addresses for the Florida Vote by Mail campaign. If you’d rather sponsor postcard-writers instead of writing postcards yourself, you can certainly do that.

__label__wiki	0.655334	0.655334	Home Lifestyle In pictures: Our European holidays through the decades In pictures: Our European holidays through the decades Refinery 29 UK 2021 Is Prime Time For Building A Capsule Wardrobe — Here’s Why With a year like 2020 behind us, we’re looking ahead to 2021 as a much-needed reset. This extends to our wardrobes, too. Enter the capsule wardrobe — a curated, minimal collection consisting of versatile wardrobe staples that you can easily mix and match — that has taken over since the pandemic took hold. The concept is nothing new. In fact, the term “capsule wardrobe” was first coined by former London boutique owner Susie Faux in the 1970s — referring to a collection of essential clothing items that don’t go out of fashion and can easily be paired with seasonal pieces. But as we collectively navigated the highs and lows (well, mostly lows) of 2020, I noticed that it was catching on more than ever; not only did I personally turn my current wardrobe into a capsule wardrobe but, according to my feed, so did many of my peers. With nowhere to go and nothing to do, this past year was the perfect opportunity to declutter our wardrobes — the first step of building a curated wardrobe — but also to completely rethink how we dress. “We’re spending an abundance of time in our homes, and with the immense multitasking our new normal requires, getting dressed has become a secondary thought for many of us,” says Kate Bellman, women’s fashion managing editor at Nordstrom. “Despite that, we still want to look polished and feel our best, and capsule wardrobes can make it easier to put head-to-toe looks together.” As we go through this new year, the concept will only continue to get more popular, thanks to both a growing collective interest in sustainable shopping habits as well as our basic psychological needs. Read on to learn more. Why Are Capsule Wardrobes So Popular Right Now? 2020 caused a major shift in how we view and consume fashion. The new decade kicked off with the world in literal flames, bringing more attention to the climate crisis of which the fashion industry is a major contributor. While the sustainability movement in fashion has been gaining traction for years, the pandemic accelerated the overall idea of consuming less. Given that creating a capsule wardrobe typically involves Marie Kondo-ing your current collection and rebuilding it with pieces you’ll cherish for years (or even decades) to come, it’s no wonder that the practice took off. “The classic foundations offer both longevity and versatility, which are perfect for our new lifestyle.”Kate Bellman, women’s fashion managing editor at Nordstrom Charlotte Warburton, the founder of tbc, a London-based styling agency that focuses on minimalism and essential wardrobe staples, believes that the pandemic has been a moment of realisation for fashion lovers. “Although it’s nice to dabble with trending items, what we actually wear day-to-day and need are the basics for our wardrobe (and our lives). We need to buy better and collate a stronger collection of essential wardrobe styles that actually last with wear.” This doesn’t mean leaving fashion trends behind altogether, but, rather, that we’re only opting for the ones that suit our current at-home lifestyle and mindset. “While many are embracing the capsule wardrobe in the traditional sense — classic, versatile pieces in a sophisticated, neutral palette — many customers are also building their wardrobe simply based on the items that bring them joy,” says Bellman. “For example, many are testing out the romantic trend with statement-making floral tops, voluminous sleeves, or high necklines — perfect for the new above-the-keyboard digital world.” It’s known that what we wear can influence our psychological state. Vice versa, how we’re impacted by what’s happening in the world can influence what we choose to put on. With the pandemic making it impossible to ignore fashion waste any longer and causing many to lose jobs and financial stability, shoppers are being more thoughtful about their consumption and spending. “We’re already fraught with anxiety and, most importantly, uncertainty,” says fashion psychologist Dr. Dawnn Karen. “What we’re now dressing for is safety, sustainability, and functionality. Safety and functionality are paramount, and with that comes sustainability by default, because we’re not shopping.” Not as much as we used to, at least: “We’re being much more conscious of our impact on the environment.” Our wardrobe needs have changed, too, with many currently working from home and staying indoors on the weekend. “Our relationship with clothing has evolved beyond I’m wearing this because I have to go to work, or I have to go to brunch, or I have to go visit my parents for the holidays,” she adds. “Now, we’re wearing something because we want to feel good in it. We want to improve and illustrate our moods.” Karen also credits “repetitious wardrobe complex” — the idea of repeating outfits or a colour/colour scheme, a central part of a capsule wardrobe, to increase productivity and maintain your mood — to the rise of the trend. Simply put, having an edited wardrobe of essentials, and wearing the same things on repeat, takes the day-to-day stress out of getting dressed. (Sounds about right to me, who has worn nothing but crewnecks and jeans for the past year.) While this method of simplification also worked in a pre-pandemic world, back when we worked in offices five days a week or had a slew of IRL events to attend, for many, it took losing that to realise that it’s the same 10 (or, according to Warburton, 27 pieces) things that they wear on repeat. “We’re now dressing for safety, sustainability, and functionality.”DR. DAWNN KAREN, fashion psychologist Karen adds that the act of creating a capsule wardrobe has its own benefits, too. “Decluttering and reorganising can give you a sense of control,” she says. “It grounds you in a world that is fully, fully ungrounded.” And with no sense of normalcy to come for the foreseeable future, the capsule wardrobe trend isn’t going to fade out anytime soon. “We don’t know what’s happening tomorrow. On a micro-level — near us, right in our vicinity — or at a macro-level, just seeing the news, we’re being impacted. A way of gaining some sense of control is to declutter and reorganise our wardrobes.” Are Capsule Wardrobe Here To Stay? Will we see capsule wardrobes continue to take off? According to Bellman, yes. Even before “COVID-19” or “quarantine” were part of our daily vocabulary, the fashion industry itself has already been pivoting “We have absolutely seen a shift towards investment pieces; however, the shift aligns seamlessly with current fashion trends over the past few seasons,” she says. “Fashion has been celebrating the familiar with elevated essentials such as a luxe cashmere sweater, a polished white shirt, or a timeless trench, to name a few. These classic foundations offer both longevity and versatility, which are perfect for our new lifestyle.” Warburton has seen this shift in her clients, who turn to her to scale back and rebuild their wardrobes: “I’ve found them looking to refresh, strip back, and reset; collating a collection of clothing that they actually wear and being more conscious about where they’re spending money, investing in items that will last.” “The pandemic has been a reset button to the industry that was very much needed.”Charlotte Warburton, founder of tbc Bellman agrees that the pandemic has sparked a larger movement in how we dress and shop. “People have been using this time at home to clean out, refine, and build their perfect wardrobe. While many are embracing a capsule wardrobe, people are spending more time in their wardrobes overall and are further defining their style by curating the pieces and aesthetic that work best for them. Whether that’s investing in a few key versatile pieces or building upon their favourites, we can expect the trend to continue on.” There has also been a widespread change in how we approach fashion and consumption as a whole, with sustainability at the forefront. “I believe the pandemic has been a reset button to the industry that was very much needed, especially when it comes down to the likes of fast fashion,” says Warburton. “It has made us realise what we actually need and wear. I hope in the post-pandemic world we all might just be a little more conscious of how and what we spend our money on within the industry.” Karen echoes that. “I don’t think it’s going to be about how many clothes you can buy, but more about where you get your pieces from. Who is the brand? What conscious aspects does it have to offer — is it ethical manufacturing [or an equally sustainable aspect]?” she says. “I do think we’ll be more eco-conscious in the future, post-pandemic.” Ready to create a capsule wardrobe of your own?

So if we have any two of them, we can find the third. See also the Calculus Table of Contents. When the tangent of y is equal to x: tan y = x. tangent - a straight line or plane that touches a curve or curved surface at a point but does not intersect it at that point straight line - a line traced by a point traveling in a constant direction; a line of zero curvature; "the shortest distance between two points is a straight line" new Equation(" @tan x = O/A ", "solo"); They are functions of an angle; they are important when studying triangles, among many other applications.Trigonometric functions are commonly defined as ratios of two sides of a right triangle containing the angle, and can equivalently be defined â¦ Derivatives of trigonometric functions together with the derivatives of other trig functions. Sine, Cosine and Tangent are the main functions used in Trigonometry and are based on a Right-Angled Triangle. The tangent function, along with This page explains the sine, cosine, tangent ratio, gives on an overview of their range of values and provides practice problems on identifying the sides that are opposite and adjacent to a given angle. new Equation(" @tanC = 15/26 ", "solo"); new Equation(" 1.733 = {BC}/15 ", "solo"); a = 3" b = 4" tan Î± = a / b = 3 / 4 = 0.75. (trÄgâ²É-nÉ-mÄtâ²rÄk) A function of an angle, as the sine, cosine, or tangent, whose value is expressed as a ratio of two of the sides of the right triangle that contains the angle. We know that the tangent of A (60°) is the opposite side (26) divided by the adjacent side AB - the one we are trying to find. From the tangent function definition it can also be seen that when the sin Î¸ = cos Î¸, at Ï /4 radians (45°), the tan Î¸ equals 1. The American â¦ To calculate the tangent of the angle, divide one side length by the other side length, and youâve got your â¦ TBD. So we can write For more on this see Tangent, written as tanâ¡(Î¸), is one of the six fundamental trigonometric functions. (See Interior angles of a triangle). trigonometric functions. Trigonometric functions are also called circular functions. Tangent is Ï periodic function defined everywhere on real axis, except its singular points Ï/2 + Ïn, where n = 0, ±1, ±2, ... âso, function domain is (âÏ/2 + Ïn, Ï/2 + Ïn), nâN. Means: The angle whose tangent is 1.733 is 60 degrees. It might be outdated or ideologically biased. It can, however, be helpful to understand the tangent function from a geometric perspective. Another line is drawn from tâ¦ Then the arctangent of x is equal to the inverse tangent function of x, which is equal to y: arctan x= tan-1 x = y. For every trigonometry function such as tan, there is an inverse function that works in reverse. Illustrated definition of Trigonometry: Trigonometry is the study of triangles: their angles, lengths and more. The tangent and cotangent are related not only by the fact that theyâre reciprocals, but also by the behavior of their ranges. The Sine, Cosine and Tangent functions express the ratios of sides of a right triangle. a trigonometric function. The trigonometric functions can be defined using the unit circle. It is defined as the equation relating to the length of the sides of a triangle to the tangents of its angles. In particular the ratios and relationships between the triangle's sides and angles. Example 3: Verify that tan (180° + x) = tan x. Trigonometric function, In mathematics, one of six functions (sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant) that represent ratios of sides of right triangles. This trigonometry calculator will help you in two popular cases when trigonometry is needed. The Sine is a starter to recap the Sine lesson from before before moving onto a Cosine lesson.\nThe Cosine one is a starter to recap that lesson and then moving onto a Tan lesson, and the Tan one is a starter before a lesson where they are practicing which ratio to use.\nI haven't used these yet but wanted to get them â¦ Example 4: Verify that tan (360° â x) = â tan x. Investigators can use trigonometry to determine angles of bullet paths, the cause of an accident, or the direction of a fallen object. the tangent of an angle is the length of the opposite side (O) divided by the length of the This information should not be considered complete, up to date, and is not intended to be used in place of a visit, consultation, or advice of a legal, medical, or any other professional. This function can be used to determine the length of a side of a triangle when given at least one side of the triangle and one of the acute angles. 1. © 2010 The Gale Group, Inc. Its abbreviation is tan. The following article is from The Great Soviet Encyclopedia (1979). The opposite side is AB and has a length of 15. Trigonometric Function Trigonometric functions make up one of the most important classes of elementary functions. There are two main ways in which trigonometric functions are typically discussed: in terms of right triangles and in terms of the unit circle. The main trigonometric functions are sine, cosine, and tangent. The tangent of an angle in a right angle triangle is the ratio of its opposite side length divided by its adjacent side length. The Greeks focused on the â¦ So the inverse of tan is arctan etc. Imagine we didn't know the length of the side BC. new Equation(" @tan 60@deg = {BC}/15 ", "solo"); All content on this website, including dictionary, thesaurus, literature, geography, and other reference data is for informational purposes only. For more on this see Functions of large and negative angles. Example 1: Find the exact value of tan 75°. From our calculator we find that tan 60° is 1.733, so we can write The arctangent of x is defined as the inverse tangent function of x when x is real (x ââ). The tangent of an angle is the ratio of its sine and cosine. We use it when we know what the tangent of an angle is, and want to know the actual angle. The tangent ratio is part of the field of trigonometry, which is the branch of mathematics concerning the relationship between the sides and angles of a triangle. Trigonometry has its roots in the right triangle. As an example, let's say we want to find the tangent of angle C in the figure above (click 'reset' first). The first is anglâ¦ The figure below shows a circle of radius $r = 1$. The trigonometric functions (also called the circular functions) comprising trigonometry are the cosecant , cosine , cotangent , secant , sine , and tangent .The inverses of these functions are denoted , , , , , and â¦ In a right triangle ABC the tangent of Î±, tan(Î±) is defined as the ratio betwween the side opposite to angle Î± and the side adjacent to the angle Î±: tan Î± = a / b. Of lines, curves, and surfaces: meeting at a single point and having, at that point, the same direction. In any right triangle, adjacent side (A). From the formula above we know that the tangent of an angle is the opposite side divided by the adjacent side. https://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Tangent+(trigonometry), A line is tangent to a curve at a fixed point. The right-angled triangle definition of trigonometric functions is most often â¦ It is the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the adjacent side. Trigonometry, the branch of mathematics concerned with specific functions of angles and their application to calculations. y over x where y and x are the coordinates of point p. Trigonometry Trigonometric â¦ Its abbreviation is tan. Definition. Imagine we didn't know the length of the side BC.We know that the tangent of A (60°) is the opposite side (26) divided by the adjacent side AB - the one we are tryiâ¦ As you may have already noticed, there are a lot of terms you need to understand before you can really understand how to calculate the tangent ratio. While right-angled triangle definitions allows for the definition of the trigonometric functions for angles between 0 and $${\textstyle {\frac {\pi }{2}}}$$ radian (90°), the unit circle definitions allow the domain of trigonometric functions to be extended to all positive and negative real numbers. Tangent function (tan) in right triangles, Cotangent function cot (in right triangles), Cosecant function csc (in right triangles), Finding slant distance along a slope or ramp, Means: The tangent of 60 degrees is 1.733. The trigonometric functions sometimes are also called circular functions. The tangent of an acute angle in a right triangle is the ratio of the leg opposite the angle to the leg adjacent to the angle. Graph of tangent. Inverse tangent function; Tan table; Tan calculator; Tangent definition. To determine the difference identity for tangent, use the fact that tan(âÎ²) = âtanÎ².. These inverse functions have the same name but with 'arc' in front. Tangent ratios are the ratio of the side opposite to the side adjacent the angle they represent. Tangent. There are six functions of an angle commonly used in trigonometry. Their names and abbreviations are sine (sin), cosine (cos), tangent (tan), cotangent (cot), secant (sec), and cosecant (csc). ric function. The tangent trigonometry functionâs definition is another simple one. If you want to find the values of sine, cosine, tangent and their reciprocal functions, use the first part of the calculator. Transposing: In other words, it is the ratio of sine and cosine function of an acute angle such that the value of cosine function should not equal to zero. But we can in fact find the tangent of any angle, no matter how large, and also the tangent of negative angles. In order to find the measure of the angle itself, one must understand inverse trigonometric functions. A line is drawn at a tangent to the unit circle: (i.e. Trigonometry is primarily a branch of mathematics that deals with triangles, mostly right triangles. Tangent theta equals the side opposite theta divided by the side adjacent to theta. In calculus, the derivative of tan(x) is sec2(x). The six trigonometric functions can be defined as coordinate values of points on the Euclidean plane that are related to the unit circle, which is the circle of radius one centered at the origin O of this coordinate system. sine and cosine, is one of the three most common This division on the calculator comes out to 0.577. Tangent ratios, along with cosine and sine ratios, are ratios of two different sides of a right triangle. Abbreviated tan. Then, for the interval 0 â¤ Î¸ < Ï /4 the tangent is less than 1 and for the interval Ï /4 < Î¸ < Ï /2 the tangent â¦ Its graph is depicted below â fig. Trigonometry (from Greek trigÅnon, "triangle" and metron, "measure") is a branch of mathematics that studies relationships between side lengths and angles of triangles.The field emerged in the Hellenistic world during the 3rd century BC from applications of geometry to astronomical studies. Abbreviated tan. So the tangent theta is -12 over 5. Searching for the missing side or angle in a right triangle, using trigonometry?Our tool is also a safe bet! We've already explained most of them, but there are a few more you need to learn. we see that there are three variables: the measure of the angle x, and the lengths of the two sides (Opposite and Adjacent). Sine, cosine, and tangent are often abbreviated as sin, cos, and tan. The Great Soviet Encyclopedia, 3rd Edition (1970-1979). If we look at the general definition -â¯tanâ¯x=OAwe see that there are three variables: the measure of the angle x, and the lengths of the two sides (Opposite and Adjacent).So if we have any two of them, we can find the third.In the figure above, click 'reset'. In a right triangle, the two variable angles are always less than 90° It has two main ways of being used: Again this is the unit circle definition of tangent. When used this way we can also graph the tangent function. Tangent is usually shortened to tan but is pronounced tangent. The preceding three examples â¦ Figure 1 To define the trigonometric functions, we may consider a circle of unit radius with two â¦ Its physicists and astronauts often use robotic arms to complete assignments in space and use trigonometry to determine where and how to move â¦ Example. The trigonometric functions include the following $6$ functions: sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant. Example. which comes out to 26, which matches the figure above. Definition of Tangent . Tangent function was defined in right triangle trigonometry this way. As you see, the word itself refers to three angles - a reference to triangles. In the previous section, we algebraically defined tangent as tan â¡ Î¸ = sin â¡ Î¸ cos â¡ Î¸ {\displaystyle \displaystyle \tan \theta ={\frac {\sin \theta }{\cos \theta }}} , and this is the definition that we will use most in the future. Before getting stuck into the functions, it helps to give a nameto each side of a right triangle: Tangent rules Function codomain is entire real axis. Because 75° = 45° + 30° Example 2: Verify that tan (180° â x) = âtan x. And so, the tangent defines one of the relationships in that new Equation(" @tan C = 0.577 ", "solo"); If we look at the general definition - When we see "arctan A", we interpret it as "the angle whose tangent is A". The tangent of an acute angle in a right triangle is the ratio of the leg opposite the angle to the leg adjacent to the angle. The function which is the quotient of the sine function by the cosine function. In reference to the coordinate plane, tangent is y/x, and cotangent is x/y. In a formula, it is written simply as 'tan'. Tangent Meaning in Trigonometry In trigonometry, the tangent of an angle is the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the adjacent side. Definition : In trigonometry, the law of tangents is also referred to as tangent law, tan formula, or tangent rule. For each of these functions, there is an inverse trigonometric function. The domains of both functions are restricted, because sometimes their ratios could have zeros in the denominator, but their â¦ This is as easy as it gets! Tangent definitions. See Graphing the tangent function. The tangent of an angle is the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the adjacent side: so called because it can be represented as a line segment tangent to the circle, that is the line that touches the circle, from Latin linea tangens or touching line. The study of angles and of the angular relationships of planar and three-dimensional figures is known as trigonometry. In the figure above, click 'reset'. x = 1 {\displaystyle x=1} ). Secant, cotangent, and cosecant are also trigonometric functions, but they are rarely used. Arctan definition. So we can say "The tangent of C is 0.5776 " or Tangent is a trigonometric ratio comparing two sides of a right triangle.

They were inducted into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, singer • 1941 ~ Otis Williams, Singer with The Temptations • 1941 ~ The song that would become the theme of bandleader Tony Pastor was recorded. It was Blossoms on the Bluebird label. If you don’t remember Blossoms, maybe you remember this one by Pastor: Dance with a Dolly (With a Hole in Her Stocking). • 1947 ~ Timothy B. Schmit, Bass guitarist, singer with Poco, who joined The Eagles, in 1977, (1977 US No.1 & UK No.8 single ‘Hotel California’, plus 5 US No.1 albums. ‘Greatest Hits 1971-1975’ is the second biggest selling album in the world with sales over 30m). • 1957 ~ Shlomo Mintz, Russian-born Israeli violinist • 1964 ~ Roy Orbison went gold with his hit single, Oh, Pretty Woman. • 1971 ~ Pink Floyd released their sixth studio album Meddle in the US. The album features ‘One Of These Days’ and the 23-minute track ‘Echoes’ which took up all of side 2 on the vinyl record. The cover image was photographed by Bob Dowling. The image represents an ear, underwater, collecting waves of sound, represented by ripples in the water. • 1972 ~ A command performance was given for the Queen of England by Elton John. • 1976 ~ The group, Chicago, started its second (and final) week at number one on the pop singles charts with If You Leave Me Now. The hottest LP was Stevie Wonder’s “Songs in the Key of Life”. The album was number one for a total of 14 weeks. • 1984 ~ Barry Manilow opened at Radio City Music Hall, New York. His concerts sold out to the tune of $1.9 million, besting (by $100,000) the record set by Diana Ross. • 1984 ~ Dan Ackroyd and John Belushi, aka The Blues Brothers (Jake and Elwood), hit the two-million-dollar sales mark with their LP, Briefcase Full of Blues. • 2000 ~ Steve Allen, the bespectacled, droll comedian who pioneered late-night television with the original “Tonight Show” and wrote more than 4,000 songs and 40 books, passed away. He died at the age of 78 of an apparent heart attack. In addition to starting the “Tonight Show,” Allen starred as the King of Swing in the 1956 movie “The Benny Goodman Story.” He appeared in Broadway shows, on soap operas, wrote newspaper columns, commented on wrestling broadcasts, made 40 record albums, and wrote plays and a television series that featured “guest appearances” by Sigmund Freud, Clarence Darrow and Aristotle. “I’ve known him for almost 60 years. … He is one of the great renaissance figures of today,” comic Art Linkletter said. Said entertainer Dick Clark: “He had a magnificent mind. He was a kind, gentle, warm man. He would be embarrassed for me now, because I can’t put into words the way I felt about this man. I loved him.” His ad-libbing skills became apparent in his early career as a disc jockey. He once interrupted the music to announce: “Sports fans, I have the final score for you on the big game between Harvard and William & Mary. It is: Harvard 14, William 12, Mary 6.” Allen’s most enduring achievement came with the introduction of “The Tonight Show” in 1953. The show began as “Tonight” on the New York NBC station WNBT, then moved to the network on Sept. 27, 1954. Amid the formality of early TV, “Tonight” was a breath of fresh air. The show began with Allen noodling at the piano, playing some of his compositions and commenting wittily on events of the day. “It was tremendous fun to sit there night after night reading questions from the audience and trying to think up funny answers to them; reading angry letters to the editor; introducing the greats of comedy, jazz, Broadway and Hollywood; welcoming new comedians like Shelley Berman, Jonathan Winters, Mort Sahl and Don Adams,” he once said. Allen’s popularity led NBC in 1956 to schedule “The Steve Allen Show” on Sunday evenings opposite “The Ed Sullivan Show” on CBS. A variation of “Tonight,” the prime-time show was notable for its “Man in the Street Interview” featuring new comics Louis Nye (“Hi-ho, Steverino”), Don Knotts, Tom Poston, Pat Harrington and Bill Dana. The show lasted through 1961, the last year was on ABC. Among his TV routines: parodying juvenile rock ‘n’ roll lyrics by reading them as if they were sublime poetry, and “The Question Man,” in which someone would give him an answer and he would guess the question – forerunner to Johnny Carson’s “Karnac.” He wrote great quantities of songs, and several were recorded by pop vocalists. His most popular song was This May Be the Start of Something Big. His books ranged from autobiography (“Hi-Ho, Steverino: My Adventures in the Wonderful Wacky World of TV”), to philosophy (“Steve Allen on the Bible, Religion and Morality,” to murder mystery (“Die Laughing.”) Steve Allen came by his humor naturally; both his parents, Billy Allen and Belle Montrose, were vaudeville comedians. Steve was 18 months old when his father died, and his mother continued touring the circuits as a single. • 2003 ~ Franco Corelli, a dashing Italian tenor who once starred alongside Maria Callas, died at the age of 82. Corelli rose to operatic stardom in the 1950s and remained there well into the 1970s. “He was the most viscerally thrilling and handsome tenor of the post Second World War generation,” the late Austrian conductor Herbert von Karajan once said of Corelli. Born in 1921, Corelli grew up a keen singer but his opera career did not really take off until 1951. He made his debut that year singing Don Jose in Bizet’s “Carmen.” Three years later he appeared alongside Maria Callas in Gaspare Spontini’s “La Vestale” in Milan. The Italian’s fame spread and before long his career took him to Paris, Vienna, London and New York. His versatile voice and good looks made him a popular choice for romantic lead roles.

For composers, sometimes it’s almost too easy. 🎃 Blog Posts Halloween Music: Night on Bald Mountain by Modest Mussorgsky Night on Bald Mountain refers to a series of compositions by Modest Mussorgsky (1839–1881). Inspired by Russian literary works and legend, Mussorgsky composed a “musical picture”, St. John’s Eve on Bald Mountain on the theme of a witches’ sabbath occurring on St. John’s Eve, which he completed on that very night, June 23, in 1867. 📆 Online OCMS Music Calendar for August Local music events, musical history, holiday information, weather and much more 🎧 Online Piano Lessons All about online piano lessons through the O'Connor Music Studio.

Shire Pharmaceuticals APAC (Asia-Pacific) Leaders converged in Ho Chi Minh City and went through Odyssey Teams’ Helping Hands team building program to build prosthetic hands. The attendees assembled eight hands—the cognition of knowing that their giveback team-building program was going to produce an immediate effect the very next day to those individuals in Vietnam created an even more special team activity. With these eight hands being built by Shire, along with other hands that were built by people in the Helping Hands program in Australia, Bill John, set off to Vietnam with 21 hands. Seeing The Sparkle In Someone’s Eye Kahn, a 58-year-old man who lost his arm at 13-years-old was one of the prosthetic hand recipients. When he was 13, he was using a shovel in the fields to dig out copper, iron and pieces of metal that were left over from the Vietnam War. His shovel hit a landmine and when the bomb went off, it took off the bottom half of his left arm. During Bill’s fitting in Vietnam he was able to see these individuals write for the first time, ride a bike, put their arms around each other – he got to see a “sparkle in their eye.” Not all the recipients were landmine related amputees. Others had lost their arm from a farming or work related accident and others were born with congenital birth defects, but all were thrilled to receive their new prosthetics and the mood was pure joy as they learned to use the hands. What Will Your Story Be? This is a story of just a few of the 7 million below-elbow amputees in the world. We’re just beginning to scratch the surface of helping these individuals, but with the help of you and your company, you can make a big difference in the lives of many.

__label__wiki	0.872251	0.872251	The ByTowne Cinema closes, porch pirates target Kanata and Ottawa stars in Christmas movies: Top stories in Ottawa this week Published Saturday, December 5, 2020 2:55PM EST OTTAWA -- Ottawa's Pure Country 94 morning co-host Jeff Hopper is recovering after spending time in hospital with COVID-19, thieves play the Grinch in Kanata, and Ottawa takes centre stage in Christmas movies. CTV News Ottawa looks at the top stories in Ottawa this week on CTVNewsOttawa.ca 'It seems like a miracle!' Ottawa's Pure Country 94's Jeff Hopper released from hospital after testing positive for COVID-19 Ottawa residents sent well wishes to Ottawa's Pure Country 94 morning co-host Jeff Hopper this week, after he spent a week in hospital with COVID-19. "Well, it seems like a miracle but I'm home," said Hopper in a statement on Facebook Friday afternoon after being discharged from hospital. "Four days after fighting for my life in a hospital bed and I couldn't be happier to be home. I wouldn't be here without the medical staff and the incredible nursing staff at the (Ottawa Hospital General Hospital) 6 Northwest in the COVID wing, doing amazing work everyday saving lives." Hopper was admitted to the Ottawa Hospital on Nov. 27, five days after his father Robert Hopper passed away after contracting COVID-19. He said he contracted novel coronavirus from his dad. Hopper says it will be a "bit of a recovery" at home, but "I couldn't be happier to have shaved and be home with the family." "Please take care of yourselves out there, stay safe, lots of love." You can spot Ottawa in these Christmas movies this holiday season Tis the season for holiday movies and Ottawa is taking centre stage in several Christmas films airing over the holiday season. Seven movies filmed in the Ottawa area will be airing on TV, including five on CTV Drama. The films are Midnight at the Magnolia, Christmas Unwrapped, Christmas at Maple Creek, Unlocking Christmas, the Christmas Setup, Rock N' Roll Christmas and a Christmas Carousel. Ottawa Film Office Film Commissioner Bruce Harvey tells CTV News Ottawa ten Christmas movies were filmed in Ottawa this year. Harvey says the snow is an attractive pitch to lure productions to Ottawa. "Certainly, when you need snow in the wintertime, it is a great location to film," said Harvey Thursday afternoon. "I know that one of the networks did a survey of their viewers to see what they liked about certain movies and what was attractive to them, and the real snow in some of the Christmas movies that had been shot in Ottawa that were on their service was something that came up a number of times." She's a hero:' Winchester Grandmother recovering after limbs amputated following Hawaii trip One year after a trip of a lifetime to Hawaii with her daughter and granddaughters, Gale Ramsden was able to leave the Ottawa Hospital and move to the Perley and Rideau Veterans Health Centre to continue her recovery. When Ramsden returned home in November 2019, she says she started feeling like she had the flu and innocent-looking bug bites became infected. It was a rare case of necrotizing fasciitis or flesh-eating bacteria. By the time Ramsden arrived at a Winchester hospital, she was crashing. She was transferred to the Ottawa Hospital as sepsis took hold of her body. On Dec. 1, 2019, Ramsden was rolled into surgery. The original plan was to amputate a leg to save her life. After consultation with her grown children, doctors made the decision to amputate both legs, one below the knee, the other above. Ramsden would have nine surgeries in an effort to contain the effects of sepsis, including surgery to remove fingers from her right hand. On Christmas Day, she had the rest of her left hand amputated at the wrist. A GoFundMe for Ramsden has raised more than $26,000. 'I need a date': Ontario premier to ask drugmakers about COVID-19 vaccine delivery timeline Premier Doug Ford continued to demand more details about the COVID-19 vaccine arrival in Ontario this week. "I have to get answers. I've been asking the federal government. We need to know when we're getting it, how much we're getting and what we're getting," Ford said on Monday. "There's different vaccines out there so, to be perfectly frank, I'm not any more comfortable than I was last week." Ford spoke with Pfizer and Astra Zeneca about the respective COVID-19 vaccine candidates this week. On Thursday, Medical Officer of Health Dr. Vera Etches admitted there are many unanswered questions about the COVID-19 vaccine when asked if Ottawa will be ready to administer the shot. "I think we will be. There are a lot of unanswered questions right now. We need to know exactly which vaccines, how much is coming, but we do have the basics underway in terms of identifying the proper storage sites and who could do the immunizing," said Dr. Etches. "It will depend on the populations; if it's in long-term care or in hospitals. I think the strategy is going to change over time." Canada is expected to receive six million doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines by the end of March, enough to vaccinate three million Canadians. ByTowne Cinema closing after more than 70 years After more than 70 years of showing films to Ottawa audiences, the curtain is set to fall at the Bytowne Cinema for the final time. In a statement, ByTowne owner Bruce White announced the cinema will be closing on Dec. 31, citing fewer customers and fewer films available during the COVID-19 pandemic. "The cinema has been losing money every day since the pandemic hit. Even when we've been allowed to be open, audiences are dramatically smaller," said White. The ByTowne on Rideau Street opened its doors on Feb. 10, 1947 as the Nelson cinema. According to the ByTowne website, Local entrepreneur Hyman Berlin built the cinema through the fall and winter of 1946. The first film was called "Johnny Frenchman." Porch pirates target homes in a Kanata neighbourhood; several packages stolen on Wednesday Ottawa police say there has been an increase in porch pirating, especially in urban areas. On Wednesday, residents at several homes in a Kanata Lakes neighbourhood reported stolen packages from their front doors. "At 6 o’clock we came out to get the package, but it wasn’t there, but Amazon said it was delivered already,” said Wei, one of many who reported stolen items from their properties. "We checked the video, seems to be some boys came by and picked it up." According to the Kanata Lakes Community Association, porch pirates targeted several homes; with the thefts happening fast and while people were at home.	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0085.json.gz/line1082
__label__cc	0.681262	0.318738	Eudaimonia, or finding connection in writing By Tina Cartwright 30.Sep.20 It seems right now, owing to the fatigue of ongoing isolation and the relentless catastrophic news, an act of doing feels more achievable than an act of thinking. We want evidence of connection, of achievement, something solid to show we have done something. If we are fortunate, we make things, we donate money but we struggle to write. Who wants to sit down, alone, with our thoughts right now? Isolated, starved of new experience and of touch – what we require is commune. Eudaimonia translates as ‘human flourishing’ or ‘happiness’ from the Greek –eu (good) and –daimon (guardian, spirit). In the Handbook of Eudaimonic Wellbeing, Blaine J Fower explains that ‘eudaimonia is a unified way of life, but it has multiple constituents (eg, belonging, justice, and social harmony). Eudaimonia is related to, but distinct from pleasure (hedonia). Human flourishing is a matter of a complete life that encompasses virtue or excellence, and Aristotle saw it as the ultimate aim of human life.’ Writers have examined what eudaimonia meant in their time. In Anna Karenina, Tolstoy explores the central theme that a life well lived is a life of meaning. Levin finds meaning in the symbiotic act of farming: the physical labour, the relationship with the peasants and the land and through his marriage, which teaches and requires of him inner goodness. In Hermann Hesse’s The Glass Bead Game the idea of transience and its acceptance is presented. Castalia, the idealised world of spirit and intellect, is in decline. Its seeming permanence cannot be sustained. The idealised, creative world of thought will decline if divorced from the living world of experience. Writers know this. Theory must apply to life. Much advice on how to manage lockdown points to commune with our surroundings and with our shared experience. In her essay Letter of Recommendation: Candle Hour, Julia Scott writes vividly about a blackout in her childhood and the attention to the acts of living that it brought about. The candlelight meant a savouring of the small acts, such as climbing into bed, watching the dance of a shadow, distinguishing a flame. It brought consciousness and gratitude to the everyday. After reading it, I resolved to live more carefully, mindfully. Other articles put forth mask-making for charity, nights marked out with new activities – an hour set aside for listening, the ancient art of storytelling. Musicians are using technology to put together dream collaborations with other artists in far flung locales that they might never have had the opportunity to work with. A life in isolation is teaching us about what it might mean to live in commune. The media fills its pages with disaccord but the truth is, in many of our neighbourhoods we have never been kinder, more aware and careful of the other, and of ourselves. We are drawing out what it might mean to live well, to live better. Social scientists have linked eudaimonia with narrative identity – the stories we construct about ourselves in order to frame our lives. In Narrative Identity And Eudaimonic Well-Being, Bauer et al assert that people whose narrative identity is strong in eudaimonic well-being place emphasis on transformation. Through suffering they find a way to gain insight. For Aristotle, eudaimonia was the highest cultivation of personal character. It was a life that cultivated high degrees of virtue. Higher degrees involved not only a life of meaning but a life of complex meaning, with a richer, more developed understanding of the self and the self’s relation to others and the natural world. This evokes aspects of Indigenous cultures such as living in concert with surroundings, practising land management, understanding natural phenomena, and living in commune with others. The physical act of writing gives me great joy. Back straight, butt out, elbows leaning on the desk, fingers hovering over the keyboard. I watch the white page fill with black figures – the Latin alphabet. Proper nouns, categorical nouns, compound, concrete, countable, collective and possessive, along with their accompanying verbs, modifiers, adjectives and the shunned adverb. It continually feels transcendent that once the letters are placed carefully, these words and this meaning, remain. In printed form, perhaps, for many years to come to be shared by anyone regardless of age, gender, culture, or political persuasion. Words are treasure. I consider the preciousness of words. I love the word ‘bark’. I can’t hear it without seeing the macrocarpas of my youth, grey bark twisted into faces, fringes of leaves drawn back by the wind, roots grappling with the lip of sea cliff. Then I go on populating the world: corrugated iron sheds huddled on clay cliff tops, antique ploughs half-submerged in black earth, scent of pine needle and sea froth fog. Bark is a thing of beauty, of stark variation, achingly smooth, grating and rough. Appreciation of bark requires attention from all the senses. That is how I want to live; in a manner that requires attention from all the senses. I will live with curiosity and awareness and I will write. Yet, at present, just processing the amount of information I encounter in a day feels overwhelming. The march of words, of opinion. It can be hard to then sit down and dare to add more. Right now, writers everywhere are struggling to write. But we must, add to the pile of words, hoard the treasure of them. In Dreamtigers Jorge Luis Borges presents an image of the books he’s written piling dust in the corner of a room, evidence of a life misspent. I would yell across time (which does not exist) ‘those books are mine too’. I carry them inside. I talk about them. I write their words, sixty years after. In the epilogue he states: A man sets himself the task of portraying the world. Through the years he peoples a space with images of provinces, kingdoms, mountains, bays, ships, islands, fishes, rooms, instruments, stars, horses and people. Shortly before his death, he discovers that that patient labyrinth of lines traces the image of his face. We must write. It’s too late for us. For, without writing, we do not know how to live. The more you write, the less of a choice it becomes. Despite my ideas about living more mindfully, on July 19th, twelve days into the second lockdown in Melbourne I fall into a slump. It’s the same disappointed, hurt that happens every time. I grew up in New Zealand, have lived in Melbourne for six years, and before that in other countries. I told friends and family in New Zealand that phone calls would be greatly appreciated. Not one in twelve days. Deep in my slump I come across Australian writer, Nigel Featherstone’s, list about writing. ‘It is better to make art that no one sees than to have not made the art’. I feel the truth of it. I have felt it before. Even if it is just for me, each and every creative act changes me. There is no way of measuring that power. One evening, ten years ago, I was held captive by that power. I was teaching English in Zacoalco de Torres, a small town about an hour from Guadalajara, Mexico. It happened at a party, deep in the dusty, adobe-walled neighbourhood of Barrio de las Cebollas (‘neighbourhood of the onions’). A family, whose son I had been teaching, invited my Mexican partner and I to a celebration at their home. We were seated in the yard in a circle of white plastic chairs. As we discarded our polystyrene trays that moments ago had been filled with exquisite pipian – a mole made from ground pepitas – the night intensified. The wind through the trees hushed, the roosters crowed one last time and the air thickened. My eleven year-old pupil leaned in. ‘Time for a joke.’ He told an elaborate, perfectly constructed joke with no small measure of feint and chicanery. Surprisingly, my partner returned fire. ‘Have you heard this one?’ As the night wore on the duel grew tight. Riposte after riposte, they returned fire, pulling the listener along. Adding to the amusement, the child’s religious parents sat to either side of him. Before delivering a particularly salacious joke, he’d issue a quick, and sincere apology behind his hand, and then lean in to the group. Sometime after midnight, owing to his flawless memory, the eleven-year-old triumphed. To the awed haw-hawing of the group, the exhausted adult ceded defeat. Here were two who knew their form, when, how and with whom to use it. I try recall that power when I write. Few things hold us together in commune, as art does and as shared stories do. Right now, the interconnectedness of life is more undeniable than ever. We do not live as individuals; we overlap in every aspect of our lives. In his 2019 novel The Overstory, Richard Powers explores human dependence on trees and the interconnectedness of living systems. Powers has since discussed the tradition of the humanist literary novel and spoken of a type of story that has largely disappeared from Western literary fiction – that of the drama that enfolds when humanity desires the living world to be a certain way which is in opposition to the elements. His contention is that in Western culture we stopped telling this story because, ultimately, we imagined we had won the battle. This is what makes works such as Bernadine Evaristo’s Girl, Woman, Other so precious, by centring those often absent in literature. The world has changed. We must learn to tell bigger, broader stories, that make sense of interconnectedness. Social scientists have found that life stories of personal growth and redemption reflect prevailing cultural narratives. Narrative identity stories with communal themes such as intimacy, sharing or a focus on greater good, have a stronger correlation with high levels of eudaimonic well-being than stories with individualistic, agent-driven themes. Richard Powers says what most of us know, that there is no ‘us’ and no separate thing called ‘you’. When my life is not how I want it to be, that idea gives me comfort. And when the media gives me difference, I resolve to find similarity. And write about it. For writing is an act of great commune.

__label__cc	0.725565	0.274435	Champions of Teaching and Learning Celebrating Academics at Orange Lutheran High School Act Like a Neuron: Understanding the Bio/Psych Connection By OLu research partner, Brad Ermeling It could be said that everything psychological is biological because biology undergirds all that we learn in psychology. One of the first learning goals for AP Psychology students is developing a foundational understanding of these connections between the disciplines. Specifically, students learn about the structure and function of neurons and the role neurons play in shaping human behavior. Angela Wingert (AP Psychology) teamed up with colleague Jill Ronstadt (AP Biology) to help students deepen their understanding of these concepts. Ms. Wingert found that students can memorize and figure out the structural parts of the neuron but have more difficulty understanding how it functions in the body as part of a larger system. She also wanted to help students make a connection with drugs and understand how drugs induce changes in neurological activity and altered states (e.g., causing the neuron to release more dopamine). The lesson storyline they planned included five main components: Activate prior knowledge and experience: Write about a personal experience involving an intense reaction to an external stimulus Direct instruction: Introduce structural components of the neuron Direct instruction: Introduce functional components of the neuron Physical simulation Part I: Act out process of neural transmission Application: Learning about the neurological effects of drugs and altered states Physical simulation Part II: Demonstrate effect of drugs in neural transmission Extended Practice: Mouse Party (Web-based interactive learning tool) Homework: Mouse Party Data Matrix Learning through Simulation The teachers worked together to introduce specific elements of the simulation activity that would help students capture the nuances of the transmission process and how much information is preserved or lost as a message flows within a neuron and across the gap to other neurons (from the dendrites that receive information all the way to the terminal buttons that release neurotransmitters across the synapse). Each student performed a role as part of the neural transmission process. Students connected around the room in a long, curving line and squeezed the shoulders of the next student in front, setting off a sequence of signals that culminated with the axon terminal button releasing neurotransmitters (balls of wadded paper) to the receiving dendrite. To demonstrate altered states, the teachers also designed a new element of the activity which would help students visualize the dramatic effects of different drugs (depressants, hallucinogens, stimulants, and opiates) on the overall nervous system. Mrs. Wingert brought up the two students who earlier played the roles of the axon terminal button and receiving dendrite and had them act out the effects of four different drugs with the same balls of wadded paper. Depressants (alcohol) – Teacher slowed down transmission by partially restraining student acting as axon terminal from throwing neurotransmitters (wadded paper balls) across the synapse. Hallucinogens (marijiuana) – Student acting as axon terminal tossed five extra neurotransmitters to receiving dendrite. Stimulants (Cocaine) – Teacher attempted to block the reuptake of neurotransmitters. Opiates (Meth) – Student acting as axon terminal tried to pass 100 extra neurotransmitters across the synapse. Here’s how the lesson played out in the classroom. Click here to view a sequence of clips from the opening discussion, introduction to neuron structure, and whole-class simulation. Student Results Two weeks after completing the lesson, the teachers analyzed students’ responses to test questions specifically related to neurons and neural transmission (see item analysis chart below). Results from the test showed that students had a working knowledge of the neuron structure and understood many aspects of the neural transmission process. Work submitted from the mouse party assignment also showed they could summarize the action of a drug and its primary effect on the nervous system. Some students didn’t understand the difference between sensory and motor neuron sending and many struggled with understanding where reuptake takes place. The interview excerpts below provide a snapshot from two students’ reflections on the lesson. Both students (Riley and Khalil) were also featured in the video clips previously referenced. Riley acted as the axon terminal in the simulation and Khalil was the receiving dendrite. I: How did the simulation activity affect your understanding of neuron transmission? KE: For the action potential to take place it has to reach a certain threshold to fire. The simulation illustrated this with the six students who acted as the cell body. When the last student in the cell body received five squeezes on the shoulder that was the threshold needed to initiate the transmission. If four students were squeezing and one wasn’t, that threshold still wasn’t going to be met…I think it also did a nice job of showing the handoff of the neurotransmitter from the axon terminal to the receiving dendrite. RF: I think looking at a chart or diagram it just goes right over our heads and with this experience we will remember it…you can think about what you were thinking while you were watching it. I: Describe what you learned in the lesson about the connections between biology and psychology…how the structure and function of the neuron can influence your mental state. KE: I took honors anatomy and physiology…so I’m pretty familiar with the neurons and their structure. When we were talking about specifically methamphetamine…it releases so much dopamine that it floods the system and leads to one of the worst crashes you can have. I was really able to visualize that in terms of anatomy and physiology….Generally…when a drug is introduced in the process it either inhibits it or accelerates, which can be a good thing or bad thing but typically a bad thing causing an extreme high followed by a really bad crash and the high is super addictive for the body. RF: I think with biology we learn the normal way our body functions and we learned in class what happens when you choose to alter that and you put different substances in your body…some can make it go a lot faster and some slow it down…I actually want to study psychology…not for research purposes but for counseling and I think we’ll have to know the science and biology. When you counsel people it will help to understand what they are going through. Riley also shared an interesting insight about the use of video for reflecting on the simulation. In the moment, while she was performing the role of axon terminal, she was mostly focused on following instructions for her role in the demonstration and did not fully grasp what the simulation was illustrating. She described how helpful it was to see the video of the lesson a few days later and learn even more from the activity as an observer. Three big ideas emerged from the analysis, observations, and post-lesson discussions. Making complex ideas interesting and accessible The teachers worked to design learning activities that were both engaging and instructive. The goal was not simply to entertain students but to deepen their understanding of neurons. Evidence from video observations and comments from interviews provide evidence that the simulation activity helped students visualize the neural transmission process and better understand specific elements such as the threshold for initiating transmission and the release of transmitters across the synapse. In future lessons, as a supplement to the simulation, allowing students to watch a video of their own engagement experience could further enhance their depth of knowledge and insight. The teachers are also planning some adjustments to the simulation to more effectively illustrate how reuptake takes place. Maximizing cross-curricular connections Ms. Wingert and Ms. Ronstadt approached his lesson with hopes of enhancing connections between biology and psychology. Their experience planning and teaching the lesson reinforced their interest and commitment to leveraging these cross-curricular opportunities. Both teachers plan to continue collaborative efforts to establish common vocabulary (e.g., terminal button vs. terminal bulb) identify gaps in content (e.g,. AP Biology no longer covers neural transmission so it will be essential to cover this in AP Psychology) and increase coherence between courses. Exposing students to key ideas and concepts in multiple contexts not only reinforces learning but also creates opportunities for deeper synthesis and application. Preparing students for life and work Teaching students about the connections between biology and psychology provides an important foundation for future studies, passing AP tests, and meeting requirements for college applications. More importantly, the teachers hope it will equip students with valuable information to pursue healthy, productive lives and meaningful professional work. Author orangelutheranacademicsPosted on January 16, 2020 Categories UncategorizedLeave a comment on Act Like a Neuron: Understanding the Bio/Psych Connection Picture Notes: A Roadmap to Learning In a HyFlex class, students are given more freedom of choice to decide how they best learn compared to a traditional classroom setting. While every HyFlex class on campus is run a bit differently at the discretion of the individual teacher, all classes are a mix and balance of on ground face-to-face time and online flex time. Encouraging students to make decisions about how they learn and helping them to see the benefit of working with a teacher one-on-one during office hours is something that makes HyFlex learning a prime example of 21st century skills in practice. In Mrs. Eklund’s HyFlex AP US History class for example, students can choose during a HyFlex period to watch a video of Mrs. Eklund giving a lecture and then take a quiz over the material, or come in for half of the class period and have her give the lecture to them in person. The students who chose to watch the video of the lecture didn’t miss out on any key teaching and learning; they were just able to do it at home or in the student union and work at their own pace. The students who came in during the class period were able to ask questions to clarify the material they didn’t understand and interact with Mrs. Eklund more since there were far fewer students in the room than a full class period. The lecture notes that Mrs. Eklund gives are unique as well, besides the HyFlex platform. She creates large picture “road maps” for their units; this lesson was on America’s Road to Revolution. At the start of the lecture, Mrs. Eklund recapped the first part of the “road” that the class had started the period before, and then launched into the new material. The visual anchors helped students see the timeline and cause and effect of events that led to revolution, and enabled students to more deeply comprehend the context surrounding individual events. With the entire map up at the board at the start of the class period, Mrs. Eklund was able to refer to it throughout her lecture while focusing on the students and their engagement. Especially engaging were the narrative stories that Mrs. Eklund sprinkled into her roadmap. These little tidbits of knowledge will become the narrative anchors that help the events begin to stick together. Author orangelutheranacademicsPosted on October 10, 2019 Categories UncategorizedLeave a comment on Picture Notes: A Roadmap to Learning The Art and Habit of Inspiration CC BY-SA 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0) Dawn Hamby teaches 18 students in her Advanced Ceramics class. She designed the course to equip young artists with essential techniques for creating and critiquing 3-dimensional art. Using various tools and media (e.g., clay, plaster, wire, cardboard) students learn to exercise creative freedom and explore new possibilities for independent, original work. Despite their extensive background and interest in art, Mrs. Hamby finds advanced students struggle with original thought, developing artistic identify, and self-generation of creative themes. Most students still revert to copying images and ideas they find online or making minor alterations to finished examples. Various scholars and publications address these challenges for the elementary level student, but limited resources exist for addressing the unique developmental challenges of the high school artist. Through this course, Mrs. Hamby hopes to foster student curiosity about important questions such as: How do artists work? What kind of skills and strategies do they employ to explore and express their ideas? How can I develop these skills and apply them to my artwork as well as other aspects of life? Most importantly, she hopes students will overcome their aversion to risk and cultivate new habits for originating and articulating ideas. Practicing Inspiration One aspect of learning how artists work is understanding the role of inspiration in art. In their own art projects, students may confine “inspiration” to finding and copying “cool” images on the internet rather than exploring their own artistic process and interests. Students may also presume that artists primarily find inspiration through dramatic moments of epiphany, while more often it’s the result of well-refined creative habits. Advanced artists develop a keen awareness of their own inspirational process and deliberately work through that process at the outset of a new project. To help students move beyond such limited perceptions and cultivate more advanced habits, Mrs. Hamby planned a research lesson in second semester focused on artistic inspiration. She began the class period with a warm-up writing activity and the introduction of three essential questions. She then asked students to think about the sources of inspiration for each of the recent class projects they completed. She emphasized the difference between copying other artists and “reverse-engineering.” She also provided a case study artwork example by Janet Echelman, titled “One Point Eight.” The title of this work refers to the length of time in microseconds that the earth’s day was shortened as a result of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Students studied the image as a class and took notes about five key process elements that contributed to the artist’s inspiration: subject matter, process, medium, context, concept. Click here to view these opening segments about sources of inspiration. Mrs. Hamby continued the lesson with a sorting activity involving cards with artwork images from their own class projects as well as images from other artists. Students worked in small groups to discuss each card and arranged the artworks into categories based on inferences about the artists’ inspirations. Some students sorted cards by subject matter or visual style instead of thinking about the artist’s sources of inspiration, so Mrs. Hamby used probing questions about the artist’s intention. Each group shared their categories of inspiration with the whole class and recorded the full list of sources in their sketchbook notes. Click here to view the sorting activity. Next, Mrs. Hamby asked students to explore personal sources of inspiration with a five-step brainstorming exercise resulting in a word-web of ideas for their next project: Make a list of 20 things — What inspires you? What makes you want to make something? What makes you excited about coming to class? What do you wish you could do? What materials or techniques do you like to work with? What do you wish you could try? What do you love? What is a story you’d like to tell? If you could tell the whole world something, what would it be? Circle Three ideas from your list above. How can you make these more specific? Write three ideas next to each one. Word Web: From the three you circled, choose one inspiration that you will use for this project and place it in the center of the word web. Branching out from main inspiration – List five five words that come to mind when you think of this of word. Incorporating 3D design elements: How can you incorporate the elements of 3D design? Which principles will your sculpture focus on? How will your materials visually support your theme? How would you display this work? Below is an example word-web from one student in the class. Finally, Ms. Hamby concluded the lesson by asking students to write a brief statement describing their next project. Examples included: I want to make a sculpture of people that explores unity. I want to make a mixed-media fish out of clay or foam exploring one’s mental health with beach trash as a metaphor. I want to make a horse running that explores light and movement. Click here to view the final lesson segments on personal inspiration. After completing the lesson, we analyzed students’ word webs and corresponding project statements based on three main criteria: creativity, heart, and courage. Below are the results of this analysis based on 10 representative samples. The results from the word webs reflected a wide range of diverse ideas and sources of inspiration. All but two samples showed clear evidence of proposed subject matter that was inspired by a topic of deep personal interest, and most of the final statements described projects with increased complexity, scope or scale. Overall, the word webs revealed that students still need more assistance and practice moving beyond concrete topics of interest to elaborate on a concept or theme. But Mrs. Hamby was excited to see initial signs of students making connections between proposed subject matter and the emotion or message they hope to convey. She was also pleased to observe how the exercise helped students overcome “artist’s block,” and pushed them to unpack their own universe of ideas without copying examples from the internet. These findings were reinforced by student interview responses. I: When you were grouping the cards into categories, what were some things you learned about where artists get their inspiration? KC: I learned that you get inspiration from anywhere…Some of the categories we selected were nature, and shapes, and abstract objects, and people, like portraits of them, and also day-to-day life. I: How has your approach to inspiration changed as a result of this lesson? KC: I thought people thought of something randomly or something that impacted their lives. That was an eye-opener because lately I have been struggling with being inspired and what I want to make next…That was a lesson I needed right now. I’ve just been making whatever comes to me and that helped me dig deep and get inspired by different things. I: How can we use an artist’s final product to understand the source of inspiration? KC: First of all, what they made and what it’s made out of. Like the fishnet sculpture that Ms. Hamby showed us. I would have never thought that was made out of knotted fishnets. So the message that it’s sending and the different elements she used with that…like the movement of it…You can see how long it took…how they got there to make you feel a certain way about it. I: How do artists approach the challenge of coming up with their next project? KC: I think that like Janet and how she used the fishnet. I know that she was actually stuck and didn’t have her supplies so she had to totally come up with something new. Since I’m stuck with what I’m trying to make out of clay right now, I can maybe use different materials and be inspired to make something else like using wood or wire. I: What have you learned about your own sources of inspiration? KC: I feel really connected to nature…also I’ve really been into shapes lately and abstract things. And also colors and how they depict the emotion of it. Let’s say it’s all black and white or all reds or blues which make a tone of the piece. I: Was there a moment or aspect of this lesson that helped you gain a new insight or understanding about the inspiration process? KC: First we wrote down a whole bunch of stuff that we liked and I realized that I have a lot of choices and how we narrowed it down to one or two words. And how we went even more in depth choosing verbs and actions…Because I wouldn’t have thought about all the different things a horse could be doing. I was just thinking of making a standing horse but now I’m thinking of making it running, or eating…using light to show that it’s moving…I think that was helpful and I probably will use that in the future. Looking ahead, Mrs. Hamby hopes to build on the success of this lesson and continue working with students to envision a sculpture for their next project. Students will think about materials, techniques, form, and the principles of design. They will create sketches of the final product and make a plan for researching any new techniques or materials. In addition, based on the results from interviews, observations, and work samples, at least three big ideas from the lesson represent compelling avenues for continued refinement and study over the long term: Providing opportunities to learn from the inspiration journey of other artists–working backward through an artist’s story to study both the experiences and decisions that shaped the final product. Reinforcing new academic language and for describing the process elements that contribute to inspiration: subject matter, process, medium, context, concept. Expanding effective use of tools and processes for exploring and elaborating on their own world of ideas and interests (e.g., word webs and other methods). These approaches helped equip students with a productive framework for exploring and understanding art–what it represents, what the artist was thinking, and how they might adopt similar habits to ignite and sustain their own creative potential. Author orangelutheranacademicsPosted on September 25, 2019 September 26, 2019 Categories UncategorizedLeave a comment on The Art and Habit of Inspiration Writing in Chemistry Mrs. Grasz’ Honors Chemistry class, took a short detour at the commencement of their first lab report to better understand lab writing and analysis. After completing their first lab report, students had the ability to take out their lab write ups and review with Mrs. Grasz what they did well and where they could improve. A very detailed and clear rubric is quickly projected on the screen as Mrs. Grasz begins to review what each statement means and how it can be applied to their own lab reports. Students take out their own report and a pencil for editing and she begins drawing pictures, writing sentences and phrases, and drawing graphs and charts on the board. She creates her own sample lab report, with images of what is a good, strong example, and what students should avoid. Each section of the lab report is addressed individually, beginning from a basic heading, that, much like all English teachers would appreciate, includes MLA formatting. She talks about using descriptive verbs to title lab reports, reminding students that no writing should include personal pronouns. Simultaneously, she names her lab. She dives deep into suggestions that would make a lab write up stronger, suggesting various methods for clarity and a more thorough analysis, or as she would call it, “evidence, reason, and relevance.” By the way, all terms which have been consistently used throughout various courses when teaching writing. As she goes through each motion, you see the wheels turning inside the minds of each of her students, and they her cling on to her every word. They want to do well, and they know that Mrs. Grasz has the key on how to achieve that. But instead of this being a lesson on what to do and what not to do, Mrs. Grasz creates an atmosphere of learning and fun. It is altogether fascinating to see how she has found a beautiful balance between the two. She proceeds to show a quick and humorous commercial clip about claims and evidence. The video is an image of a young girl who believes her father to be an alien. The commercial elicits examples of why her father is from outer space and once it commences, Mrs. Grasz asks the questions of utmost importance, “what was her claim?” and “what is the evidence she used to support her claim?” The light bulb turns on for all in the room. They have a tangible connection, as she has captivated her audience and met each individual student need. The remainder of the period is spent on continued help and clarification and students are clearly invested. Students take notes on the grading rubric, they cross out, add, and annotate their own lab reports, and meet with their group members to discuss ways in which they can make their first assignment stronger. Success. Mrs. Grasz smiles as she walks about her students, noticing the excitement and whispers of elation as each finds a better, clearler, and more articulate way to present their findings. The ability to present students with various modes of learning helps address every individual learning mode and there is no doubt that Mrs. Grasz has thought of all of it. Her expectations, while specific to her course, help students not just navigate the day to day labs in her Honors Chemistry class, but it also helps them become better and stronger writers all across the board, both in school and when they receive that diploma at graduation, which will in fact signify that they have the abilities and preparation to be successful adults. Author orangelutheranacademicsPosted on September 18, 2019 Categories UncategorizedLeave a comment on Writing in Chemistry Pictures Painted in Words Discovering Imagery in American Literature Christina Perez has taught American Literature for six years. She continues to find great reward in helping students explore contemporary issues and culture through the lens of American history, themes, and stories. While advancing students writing and critical analysis skills, she believes the course also enables students to grow as social beings and view other’s life experiences with interest and empathy. Over the last several years, one of the teaching and learning challenges Mrs. Perez has faced is teaching students to identify and explain images in literature. “Unless it’s dripping in figurative language,” she explains, “they struggle to recognize, explain, and connect literary images to more important devices, and concepts for any given text.” Students are asked to use imagery throughout the course, but especially in second semester where students are expected to know, understand, and be able to readily navigate images when writing and articulating connections. At the start of the 2018-19 school year, Mrs. Perez tackled this challenge in her first unit with an emphasis on discovering imagery while exploring marginalized texts from Native American literature. She hoped to build a foundation in this first unit that would lead toward deeper understanding and analysis skills throughout the year, and ultimately prepare students for The Great Gatsby essay in second semester. Images and Empathy in Native American Lit The first unit is called “Marginalized Literature.” The course focuses on the importance of all American literary writers, including Native Americans, specific to this unit. Native American authors have been historically absent from the literary canon and marginalized because of their spiritual and social distinctions, not to mention their physical differences. Students uncover the importance of what it means to be American in a society that is founded on immigration and racial/social disparity. As they read through various Native American texts, both ancient and current, these writers often demonstrate their identity amidst personal anecdotes and accounts of their lives as Americans, through imagery/image. Some of the essential questions in this first unit include: Due to mistreatment, how do natives view America? What is the Native American dream? What is the Native American lens and and their newfound identity? Drawing Images to Discover and Connect To scaffold students’ recognition and use of imagery while addressing these topics, Mrs. Perez developed a new approach for students by introducing an imagery device chart (see example below), which requires students to think about the “pictures” that they see when they read. She asked students to draw, write, and articulate the images they found as they progressed through a given text. Specifically, she wanted students to be able to identify at least one image, depict the image on their charts based on the author’s description, and articulate its importance in relation to the purpose of the text. Students would then use this chart as an organizing device for their writing, drawing on class discussions and newfound knowledge to articulate connections in their explanation and analysis. Lesson Storyline: Superman and Me The storyline for this culminating lesson included the following major segments: 1.Review examples of the “Native American dream,” covered in this unit.

Student work and lesson observations from classroom video showed that students made deep connections with the plight of the Native Americans and empathized with the challenges this marginalized population faced in forging new collective and individual identities as equally capable and intelligent members of society. Students also made great strides throughout the unit in learning to select, analyze, and articulate imagery from the literary texts. Excerpts from two students interviewed below provide rich examples of this deeper knowledge and understanding. Both students (Aaron Rivera and Avery Warren) were also featured in the video clips previously referenced. Aaron is the student in the black shirt that is composing a paragraph for his group directly in front of the camera. Avery is the student in the red shirt, sitting on the right, directly behind this first group. I: What is an image in literature? How is it different from other ways we use images in everyday life? AR: Images in literature are more abstract and you have to find the meaning yourself…in real life it’s more straight forward. An image in literature is a device used by the author to convey a message–sometimes it’s through symbolism. AW: An image is written in words…The author has to find the descriptive words so the listener can get a feel of what’s going on…that it almost takes them to that place where they can see it. I: What images stood out to you in this story? Which ones did you select to focus on as a group? AR: I imagined the poverty of the reservation and I tried to picture the superman comic… In the comic, there is a door placed in front of him. He broke down the door and it shattered. He used that to tell a story as if he was superman breaking through adversity and barriers in his own life… AW: We selected the image of superman knocking down the door. It’s a metaphor saying that they were trying to knock down their own door. They were given an identity and they didn’t agree with it, so he knocked down that door and created his own identity. I: In your own words, what does it mean to be marginalized? AR: We have been using that term in class to describe the adversity that Native Americans have to overcome. It’s when society can attach specific identities to you or a certain group of people. A lot of people, especially the settlers, saw Native Americans as unintelligent because they didn’t have technology and because there was a barrier in communication between them. AW: Like a margin on the side of the paper, they were pushed to the outside. The Native Americans didn’t have a say in anything. They were outsiders that did not matter. I felt bad that this had to happen. It brought up not only literature but also history. It brought insights about how life was them back then…we see the other side of the story and how they lived in a time of oppression. I: What did this lesson teach you about choosing an image and providing sufficient explanation/evidence to support your analysis? How has the chart helped you? Tell me more about that. AR: In explaining and analyzing an image, the chart has helped me to structure my thoughts…it asks you to connect it back to the overarching theme of identify and that’s the part the chart has helped me the most with. I remember last year when I would write timed-writes it was hard for me to understand how to write an analysis properly, but with this chart it was more clear to me…I was only explaining what the image means but would not connect it back to the overall theme of my essay. The overarching theme of the story is sometimes not the same as the image you are describing. AW: We’ve been using the graph/chart with the story title, the image, a picture of the image, the purpose, and the identify. It’s been extremely beneficial because it’s helped with organization. Analysis is difficult for me. You can look at that image and think back on it and go in more depth…consider all the factors. I: When you exchanged feedback with the other group about your paragraphs, what insights did you gain about the analysis process? AR: They told our group that we were choppy in the part leading up to the final sentence about how it relates back to his identity. We didn’t really tie all the separate information together. We just listed it and then expected the reader to do it themselves. We assumed the reader would know that the superman image represented the author as superman without ever pointing that out. AW: We told the other group that they could have been more clear in connecting the explanation and purpose to the passage that they chose. Because if you don’t connect them it sounds like you are just putting all these sentences together. It doesn’t flow or connect. I: Is there anything else from this lesson that you think is important that I haven’t asked you about? AR: I think it’s important to know that the lesson has not just helped me with analysis in this format but it’s also helped a lot of other people I know. In writing the analysis, people struggled with organizing their thoughts and this chart helped people realize the order their thoughts should go in and how they should link them together. AW: I think it’s important to realize the purpose of why we are reading these stories. It’s not only literature. This happened in the 1800s and it’s not something we should forget about. Everyone should be treated with equality. As Mrs. Perez reflected on the lesson, she shared how pivotal it was to help students begin using the device chart not only to make a list of images in a story, but to employ it as a tool for structuring and preparing to compose a written analysis. In a subsequent assessment and writing assignment on “Burning River” (by Simon Ortiz) over 90% of the students utilized the device chart as a structure to plan and organize their composition. Some students showed substantial growth in analyzing and explaining images from the story with greater depth and examples from the text. Others showed marked improvement in connecting the images to the overall theme of identity. A few students showed advanced skill in both of these areas–unpacking the images and connecting them to the overall theme. About five students did not use the chart at all and left it blank while three others only used the chart partially. These students had weaker compositions with mostly summary and little original analysis. This provided evidence of the chart’s utility in scaffolding students’ analytical skills and writing. Mrs. Perez plans to share this evidence with the class to help them reflect on their use of the tool. In her own words, Mrs. Perez offered the following insights and reflective comments for the lesson and described her plans for future instruction. The process of analysis requires writers not only to read a work of literature and internalize the plot and author’s message, but it also requires the writer to think about the various elements that make up the piece. Specifically, in Sherman Alexie’s “Superman and Me,” my students were faced with a manifold of important images that address Native American identify. Students were not only expected to highlight important aspects of the story, but to identify images that illustrated the Native American dream. The chart helped each student organize their thoughts, focus on one image, and think about how that image demonstrated the Native American identity. While it was evident students could think critically about each image identified, their ability to develop, explain, discuss, and connect their ideas to the bigger picture was lacking. This chart provided them with the opportunity to do just that. It provided a safe, yet organized space for each student to articulate their thought process without having to worry about verbiage and fluidity. Once the chart was completed, students could physically see their thoughts on paper. Once the writing began, they could take their articulated thoughts labeled in the chart and plug them in to their short responses. This would enable them to write the paragraph focusing solely on diction and flow. A task less daunting and much more organized. Going forward, this chart will be invaluable for any writing format. As students continue in the next unit on Puritan Literature, the chart will prove helpful in organizing student ideas for The Scarlet Letter essay as they develop and discuss Hester Prynne’s character. While the original chart enables students to identify and think about the purpose of imagery, Mrs. Perez plans to incorporate a new chart component for The Scarlet Letter focused on “character trait/quote of characterization,” followed by the “purpose” of why Hester Prynne’s character behaves in this manner, and how that “connects to the novel as a whole” (her place in the Puritan society). The outline of this chart will continue to help students organize their thoughts and identify important characteristics. Mrs. Perez looks forward to implementing this new component and assessing students’ continued progress as they build analysis skills and employ these tools on their own…even when not prompted by the teacher.

First, students induced the sea urchins to spawn (release eggs or sperm), they then collected eggs and placed the eggs under the microscope. Once they had the egg in a field of view, they placed a drop of sperm and watched fertilization happen. Within a few minutes they watched the single cell divide into 2, then 4 and so on. By the end of the day some of the growing embryos had reached 32 or even 64 cells. Not only did students get to observe mitosis and the cell cycle but they observed fertilization, development, and differentiation. The students used new microscopes that have a screen that allows all the students in a group to see what is happening at the same time. They also have a camera to record pictures. Below is some of those pictures. Ms. Hernandez reported that many members of her 4th period stayed through learning support to watch the growing embryos divide and develop! In the first picture the bottom is a fertilized egg with lots of sperm trying to get in. The above are a variety of growing embryos at different stages of division.

Mrs. Doss and Mrs. Mooney brought in 2 different models during 2 different after school sessions. Students from a variety of art classes could choose to attend these sessions to practice their figure drawing skills. Figure drawing is a tricky skill to develop to get the proportions correct (among other things) on a human body. As Mrs. Hamby, art department chair, says “imagine 6 more semesters of students having these workshops and how strong their figure drawing will be!” Below is some pictures of students hard at work during this workshop.

This process is not new to Orange Lutheran teachers as many use it in upper level English and Theology courses. But Mrs. Bowers thought she would give it a try in her English 1 course. She writes: “As we wrap up the book A Separate Peace, I taught and implemented a socratic circle! This is the first time these freshman were getting this instruction. We have been discussing coping all throughout the novel, recently using a graphic organizer chart to track coping with Finny, and we are writing an essay over coping in this unit. At the conclusion of the unit, I introduced and implemented a socratic circle.” She started the week with an explanation of what Socratic Seminars are and provided them a handout about it. You can click here to see that handout. The next day, they read an article about coping and did a paraphrasing activity. They then worked on crafting their own answers to the open ended questions. The final day was the day they had their Socratic Seminar where not only did they have the rich discussion, but they evaluated a partner and completed a reflection. Through this process, they discuss the book but also how it impacted their life, and how to have a productive discussion with their peers. All of these were rich and in depth learning opportunities for the student.

However, for this exercise Mrs. Carvale asked the students to disperse to different parts of the room where they could sit away from their peers. She turned the lights off and walked them through a meditation exercise that prompted the students to close their eyes and focus on their breathing. After a few minutes of focused breathing, the students kept our eyes closed and listened to one of the songs that they are currently working on. Prior to this day, Mrs. Carvale met with our yoga teacher, Mrs. Lark, so she could work on a mediation and breathing exercises. Her goal was also to work on posture and emotion of the song, which are also both found in yoga and mediation practices. When asked about her experience Mrs. Carvale stated, “It was a great change to take a moment to LISTEN, rather than just always singing our songs. This exercise was great for the choir to hear & experience the impact that they can have on their audiences.” After the students completed this, they reflected in their journals. Below are a few quotes about their experiences: “Yoga today was balancing. I enjoyed sitting at school and focusing on something other than my routine external pressures. Putting pressure aside and putting school in perspective helped me balance my emotions for a moment.” Susanna Bolin, 10th grade Honors Choir student “As a singer, my body is my instrument. In yoga, breath is important when moving and is the foundation of all practices. Similarly breath is the foundation of singing. Meditation has helped me so much. I am glad that we got to spend this time in quiet, just being.” Dani Buschini, 10th grade Honors Choir student “Taking a few minutes to sit, relax and focus on breathing was a refreshing addition to my day. It allowed me to pause, be mindful and forget about my daily causes of stress. Yoga correlates to singing as both heavily rely on breathing and relaxing your body. Caring for your body and allowing for moments of reflection and revitalization can give your body a nice break and make a great vessel for using your instrument to sing.” Danny Smith, 10th grade Honors Choir student Author orangelutheranacademicsPosted on October 25, 2018 October 25, 2018 Categories For Parents, For Teachers, UncategorizedTags choir, yogaLeave a comment on Crossing Curriculum Teaching: Yoga and Choir Working Conditions in Other Countries Recently in Señora Holness’ Spanish 4 class, students were assigned a Spanish speaking country to study and learn about different working practices. The students had to research topics such as the length of a working day, how many work hours per week, benefits, vacation days per year, and length of maternity leave. Throughout this experience, students studied the working culture of their various countries while practicing the vocabulary of working practices. Once they compiled the information, they had to give a short presentation about their country to the rest of the class speaking entirely in Spanish. This allowed the chance for students to practice both their speaking skills and their listening skills. They also completed a graphic organizer about the different countries as they were listening. This allowed the students to compare the different countries working practices in one location. Students really enjoyed the idea of a siesta in the afternoon and were fascinated by the length of maternity leave for new mothers. Also, as a break throughout the presentations, they had to work with a partner create a skit of different working practices and also practice the vocabulary that they are learning. One partnership did an interview, while another modeled a good versus a bad employee. All skits were a fun and engaging break from the presentations and also was another opportunity to practice vocabulary, speaking, and listening skills. Ava Dunwoody, senior, said “This project allowed me to utilize the skills I have been learning in the classroom in a practical and real-life example. Not only did it help me more readily understand the vocabulary of this unit, but it also helped me articulate my speaking skills in a way that will prepare me to speak Spanish more naturally. It was also a lot of fun.” Author orangelutheranacademicsPosted on October 17, 2018 October 22, 2018 Categories For Parents, For Teachers, UncategorizedTags spanish, world languageLeave a comment on Working Conditions in Other Countries Follow Champions of Teaching and Learning on WordPress.com Champions of Teaching and Learning Create a free website or blog at WordPress.com.	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0085.json.gz/line1094
__label__wiki	0.935501	0.935501	Home/News/NASA orders another 18 engines for its space rocket NASA orders another 18 engines for its space rocket 3,397 2 minutes read US, WASHINGTON (ORDO NEWS) — NASA has ordered another 18 rocket engines for its new Space Launch System mega rocket for future flights to the Moon of Artemis. A new order worth $ 1.79 billion requires California-based aerospace company Aerojet Rocketdyne to provide 18 RS-25 engines for future SLS missiles. The agreement is based on an existing agreement between NASA and Aerojet on six SLS engines. According to NASA representatives, this new order raises the cost of the final contract to about $ 3.5 billion by 2029. “This contract allows NASA to collaborate with Aerojet Rocketdyne to create the rocket engines needed for future missions,” said NASA SLA Program Manager John Hanikatt at the Space Flight Center. Marshall in Huntsville. Man swam with stingrays in the Atlantic Ocean Weather stations record intensification of extreme events Supersonic aircraft with a maximum speed of 2700 km/h is ready for testing Each SLS rocket will use four RS-25 rocket engines to launch its 65-meter first stage. The rocket will also use two monophonic rocket boosters and an upper stage to launch an Orion crew capsule. The Artemis program will use SLS and Orion to return astronauts to the moon by 2024. NASA currently has 16 engines (saved from the agency’s now-retired space shuttle program) that will be used in the first four SLS rocket launches for Artemis missions 1 through 4. These engines will assist Artemis’s first moon landing with crew ( Artemis 3) and the subsequent flight. NASA’s Artemis 1 mission is expected to begin in 2021. The engines for this flight are installed at the SLS base stage and are awaiting serious tests at NASA’s Stennis Space Center in Mississippi. This work has been suspended since March due to the ongoing pandemic of the coronavirus. The new agreement with Aerojet Rocketdyne will add another 24 SLS engines to the Artemis program, which is enough for another six flights. “We have already begun production of the first six new RS-25 engines,” said Johnny Heflin, SLS engine manager in the same statement. “Aerojet Rocketdyne has restarted production lines, created a supplier base and engine production using advanced technologies that reduce both the cost and the manufacturing time of each engine.” Four RSS SLS rocket engines provide a total of 900 tons of thrust during launch to launch the Orion capsule into orbit. NASA officials said the engines left after the space shuttle program were refitted with new computer controllers and upgraded to cope with higher performance requirements when launching SLS.

__label__cc	0.666955	0.333045	Western plant-based brands target Asia News, 16/04/2019 Meat consumption is rising across Asia but consumers in the region still get twice as much protein from plants as animals and new Western plant-based brands are moving in on this territory. With its rich and diverse culinary traditions, Asia has some of the largest vegetarian markets in the world; 30% of India’s population fall into this category, as do a quarter of Indonesians. “Plant-based has been big in Asia for a very long time,” observed Ben McCarron, founder and managing director of responsible investment consultancy Asia Research & Engagement at the recent Disruption in Food and Sustainability Summit in Singapore. Tofu, for example, has been a ‘meat substitute’ for thousands of years – although people eating it don’t see it in those terms – and mock meats based on shaped wheat gluten have been available for decades. But, he suggested, the “silent Asian brands” behind such products are in danger of being overlooked as they haven’t adopted a business model of innovation – and few even have an online presence. (For more, read WARC’s report: Targeting Asia’s vegetarians with food innovation.) A new wave of plant-based brands, such as Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods (which recently inked a distribution deal with Burger King), are now eyeing up this potentially lucrative region, but they don’t have an open goal in from of them, he cautioned. “Just because somebody is born a vegetarian doesn’t necessarily mean they are going to change their consumption patterns to take on some of the new innovative disruptive plant-based foods,” McCarron said. A one-size-fits-all approach is unlikely to succeed given the nuances displayed in different markets: for instance, vegetarians in China do not consume garlic or onion; some Buddhists opt for a vegetarian diet only on the first and 15th lunar days of the month; vegetarians in Thailand happily add fish sauce to their dishes. Understanding what ‘vegetarian’ translates as in the different markets and appreciating that meat consumption rates are growing faster in some markets than others, are among the challenges that these new plant-based brands will have to address.

June 17, 2013 ONE-Time Pad at Baltic 26 July 2013 – 3 November 2013 In 2013 BALTIC will present an exhibition of recent work by Thomas Scheibitz, one of the leading German artists of his generation. Investigating the boundary between figuration and abstraction, Scheibitz draws upon motifs and themes from the everyday and popular culture in the form of film, literature, music and advertising as well as architecture. He also takes inspiration from art historical imagery such as Renaissance paintings or medieval engravings which he places in new perceptual contexts. This large-scale presentation will retrace the conceptual and painterly development of Scheibitz’s career with a particular focus on the human figure, and the determination of form between figuration and abstraction. The exhibition will comprise over two hundred works across BALTIC’s Level 3 and Level 4 galleries, including painting, sculpture, drawing and works on paper.

Transcript of an interview with Thomas Scheibitz IV: Interviewer TS: Thomas Scheibitz IV: I am really interested in how a studio of the twenty-first century works, and what is the studio system? Is there a studio system? TS: Yes. Well, the studio system in my case is that I actually divided it in a rather equal way – the painting and the sculpture. Also in terms of space, they lie in close proximity. But the point is that in the painting studio no one can actually assist me or support me. I tried it, but as I try to build up a picture and all the things associated with the picture, it is actually almost impossible to assist me in this. As to the sculptures, I would differentiate again what is a work-of-art sculpture and what is more of a sculpture or an object…There I do need someone to help me, or to manufacture the things. IV: What is the role of drawings? Does drawing connect the two? TS: Well, drawing is again a middle step…I absolutely need my sketchbook to begin with – a digital camera and then really an actual sketchbook, as we know it, where I register or put down ideas or suggestions, similar stuff that catches my eye, which turns into a drawing or drawings. The dimensions are always the same, it is always this A4 or this…this standard US letter format and everything is first…put into the same dimensions and then in turn placed next to one another, more or less based on content, to create a filter or evaluations of them, of the things – whether these things are more for a small sculpture or an outside sculpture or inside… IV: And next to the drawings, a further sort of tie, if you wish, between sculpture and painting is collage, which is very much related…The drawings therefore go also into the book, into this art book [Film, Music and Novel, London: Other Criteria, 2006]…with pasted pages of a book or alphabets or holiday photos or excerpts from an encyclopaedia. One has the feeling that it is somehow a sort of great picture collection. TS: Yes. Well, the archive is more or less…Well, at the beginning it was very organised into portfolios and folders and such. However only I can look up what was in 1969 and what is collected someplace in 2000. But in the meantime, it collected in big boxes or big graphics cabinets, drawing cabinets, and I…keep them and judge them worthwhile to collect or to discard them. Then I take a drawing or sketch or something and constantly work much closer with it – this photo or a newspaper always in front of me and I always use it or pin it to the wall somewhere and look at it constantly and perhaps it gives me inspiration or something… IV: And what role does the text play in this archive? TS: It naturally is related to the text. It comes a bit out of, again out of my studio system, that naturally the title of a work plays a decisive role…or I try to keep the role so that I, the work, the picture or the sculpture can control the text, well the title, and not vice versa, where the title controls the work. There is still another phonetic point of reference, whereby this phonetic aspect sometimes is closer or pleases me more than the actual meaning. To this extent, if we take now as an example from German the word ‘Himmel’, in English one can say ‘sky’ or ‘heaven’, the way ‘sky’ looks optically or ‘heaven’ looks optically with the things from everyday culture that we could add to it…then I can use it purposefully if the titles are in English. And in German I am very interested in particular letter combinations put together that actually remind you of something from collective memory or some advertisement – stuff that you know from somewhere but still in connection the picture presents another, completely other effect… IV: There are always books or theories or ideas that are a toolbox for the artist. Hence, my question is what are toolboxes? TS: Yes. Well, toolboxes to me are perhaps the things that are definitively my own, my appropriated space, that which I set myself, I would say, this genre, painting or sculpture…So, I rather let myself be inspired by books or films, naturally, or by music, like at the moment I want very specifically to go into the late Renaissance period…I have naturally also a classical aspect in my work, where I also really like, or shall we say researched, classical art. But in the end the things are, well, an elbow by Michelangelo or a label from my mineral water bottle here on the table. The comparison starts at the same level. So, in fact it plays the same role and then afterwards, later, I think of what I can possibly use for me…I do not draw a distinction between high culture or…low culture or however one should call it. And there is always…a changing list of the top three or five films or pieces of music… IV: What is the top list now? TS: There was once a list that…had to do with age – how, at a certain age the people did something – and that was at the age of twenty-six. Then Electric Ladyland by Jimmy Hendrix was for me…on the same spool as Citizen Kane by Orson Welles and the one from Hollywood, Steven Spielberg with Jaws. These are, well, three things that I consider really good or that one can watch, and I was astonished as to the age when it happened. So, there are such lists…From the world of music it is often, shall we say, more in the extreme music corner…I search for things without a verse and a refrain and all these genre-typical things that adhere to such a thing so that each track is three minutes and so. So, I try to find things that try to abstract from the typical stuff – the genre, the radio stuff. But not obsessively in fact… IV: Could we perhaps speak more about the book and where these classifications [Film, Music and Novel] come from? TS: There are a few A4 pages tightly filled with pictures with titles that I collected from all places possible, when I invent a special name or a special technical message or whatever. It is, of course, all collected and then contrived onto one page for practical and also optical purposes, or again phonetic cross-references. These are, of course, almost surreal means or methods that one perhaps knows from Surrealism, how things are combined there...that we build a context that is not immediately legible on the surface…These are three things that I thought about – film, music and novel – which I respect greatly, or from which much input comes, in a way. But these are, of course, the things that I do not create or probably could never create, you know. IV: One can say that it almost is about understanding more of your own practice… TS: As I already said, the greatest motivation comes actually from things…When I have the occasion to speak to a film director, about how he has to organise or arrange his stuff, or also move parts before some night shots that actually come after a scene at the beach in the film, or some such. It is extremely interesting how one can combine or organise all of this and one needs…a great ability to abstract as a creator of the whole…so that one knows where he needs to add and where he can proceed. This, again, is perhaps a cross-reference to a structure that one needs. Otherwise, I would probably somewhere lose myself…So, I categorically need such structures or such connections. And, of course, I have great respect for writers who work on large manuscripts for three or four years that remain in boxes in front of them, so that one sort of visually sees the work, what comes where and for directors it is, of course, exactly the same. IV: Is there a dialogue with writers? TS: No. Actually not… IV: It brought me to the idea that it perhaps would be good to speak about film a little more. I saw in this one work, that was, I believe in a group exhibit, a video about films… TS: It started when I was sort of interested in certain scripts or in…There is also a small…a small connection or a small article that I have indeed misplaced or lost that deals with the heading, the emergence of the script…That in the earlier times masons or typecutters did try to record the ideal measurements and to establish a standard so that we can differentiate between scripts, old German or Greek or some such. The things have a sort of structure or a standard. However, today’s man deals with script so that it can also be on the borderline of legibility or…one recognises it as a logo or that the things, let’s say, are used almost visually…When I take something and distort it or scramble it and set it in another way it is almost a visual process and the script…well the script is as symbols of course… IV: There is this very interesting text by Dieter Schwarz…from 2001, View and Plan of Toledo [Thomas Scheibitz: View and Map of Toledo, Richter Verlag, 2002] also establishing this connection to the map…Could we perhaps speak more about this? TS: Well, the View and Plan of Toledo is a late work of El Greco…I was very much taken by the principle or the structure, because…when one takes in that at the time a picture had also the task of documenting, the documentation of the city of Toledo was somewhat abandoned for the sake of a composition. For me, it is about the palace that actually stands on the border of the city set in the middle of this picture…In a three-dimensional landscape, the two-dimensional picture opens this plan almost as a document, so that the plan is in this case the documentation…One says ‘Okay, that is Toledo and the picture had the task of representing it as precisely as possible’. This is different today. Today, if I had a portrait or a city landscape with the theme of Toledo, I wouldn’t necessarily have to maintain this similarity factor or documentation factor…Rather, one could then approach it differently, from another view and that should sort of be the starting point… IV: It would perhaps be interesting to know a bit more about the studio system…How, how is it present? How is the studio system at the moment, in August 2006? TS: Yes. The studio system is actually brimming with things that are, as I tried to explain, all in a sort of blank stage that they reach relatively quickly with the work of employees…One must understand the blanks in this way: they come, they will be built as different things, all static, whereby I do not have to deal with them at all…So, they are waiting practically for completion, one could say. IV: Yes. TS: And in terms of paintings, it is imperative and always has been that I prefer a parallel working method. So, I have ten or fifteen relatively large paintings always visually available. Well, they stand next to each other and I work on them at the same time, always for a particular project. And the next project, actually, is Dublin with Rachel Thomas in the museum there – a relatively large task to realise a big exhibit, where possibly also for the museum there, in the courtyard, an outside sculpture can come to be.

__label__wiki	0.761479	0.761479	Legal Document Filed by Tulsi Gabbard Is Chock-Full of Devastating Burns Against Hillary Clinton Politics Top Stories By Pluralist / January 22, 2020 A $50 million lawsuit filed by 2020 presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard against Hillary Clinton contains several swipes at the former secretary of state. “Tulsi Gabbard is running for President of the United States, a position Clinton has long coveted, but has not been able to attain,” reads the complaint filed Wednesday by Gabbard’s attorneys in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint goes on to allege that Clinton “whether out of personal animus, political enmity, or fear of real change within a political party Clinton and her allies have long dominated” lied about Gabbard. “She did so publicly, unambiguously, and with obvious malicious intent. Tulsi has been harmed by Clinton’s lies—and American democracy has suffered as well. With this action, Tulsi seeks to hold Clinton, and the political elites who enable her, accountable for distorting the truth in the middle of a critical Presidential election,” the complaint reads. MORE: Tulsi Gabbard Unleashes on Hillary for Promoting Conspiracy Theory That She’s a Russian Agent In another part of the document, Gabbard’s attorneys refer to Clinton as a “cutthroat politician by any account” and slam the failed 2016 presidential candidate for purportedly characterizing Gabbard as a “Russian asset.” In a press release announcing the lawsuit on Wednesday, Gabbard’s office points specifically to comments Clinton made in October during an episode of the “Campaign HQ” podcast, which is hosted by fellow ex-Obama aide David Plouffe. Although Clinton stopped short of naming Gabbard during the interview, she was not subtle. “I’m not making any predictions, but I think they’ve got their eye on somebody who is currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third-party candidate,” Clinton said. “She’s the favorite of the Russians. They have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her so far.” Clinton went on to accuse Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate for president in 2016, of also being an asset of Russia. “That’s assuming Jill Stein will give it up, which she might not because she’s also a Russian asset,” she said. Gabbard responded shortly after in a series of tweets, calling Clinton “the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long.” Great! Thank you @HillaryClinton. You, the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long, have finally come out from behind the curtain.

(@TulsiGabbard) October 18, 2019 She went on to accuse the former secretary of state of orchestrating a smear campaign along with “powerful allies in the corporate media and war machine.” Then, Gabbard challenged Clinton to enter the 2020 contest. … powerful allies in the corporate media and war machine, afraid of the threat I pose. It’s now clear that this primary is between you and me. Don’t cowardly hide behind your proxies. Join the race directly. “It’s now clear that this primary is between you and me,” Gabbard said. “Don’t cowardly hide behind your proxies.

__label__wiki	0.794824	0.794824	If the KFC Gaming Console Is Real, It's...Beautiful By Bryan Preston Dec 23, 2020 2:14 PM ET The KFConsole, gaming in a chicken-warming bucket. The fast-food chain formerly known as Kentucky Fried Chicken has spent the past few years rebranding itself with a parade of ever more whimsical and absurd takes on Col. Sanders and its product line and abbreviating itself to just KFC. Who can forget the infamous Double Down, the chicken sandwich that used even more chicken for buns? It was a sandwich…without bread. High concept, high cholesterol, high PR win. Who can forget the nightmare fuel that was 2017’s Robot Col. Sanders? H.A.R.L.A.N.D. uses speech recognition, artificial intelligence technology and text-to-speech techniques to transform a KFC drive-thru operator’s voice into the unmistakable drawl of Colonel Sanders. Because H.A.R.L.A.N.D. repeats whatever the drive-thru operator speaks, customers can have unique and interactive conversations just as they would with the real Colonel Sanders. “What better way to celebrate National Fried Chicken Day than by ordering KFC from the Colonel himself?” says George Felix, KFC U.S. director of advertising. “Absolutely terrifying” comes to mind. But, it was a PR win. People were talking about that robot. Some people were also running away from it. Who can forget — more importantly, who actually read — KFC’s take on the romance novel, Tender Wings of Desire? Once that cover has been seen it can’t be unseen. You’ve been warned. Chicken-scented sunscreen, KFC clothing, chicken in space…that crazy colonel has done it all. In 2018 KFC launched KFC Gaming on social media, complete with “finger clickin’ good” branding. It appeared to be another one of the company’s merry little pranks that just might intrude on reality. When KFC started teasing about a chicken-branded gaming console to compete with the likes of Sony’s PS5 and whatever Microsoft calls its latest iteration of the Xbox (honestly, Microsoft, would it kill you to come up with a comprehensible naming convention?), it seemed like a doubling-down on the prank. The suggestion that the console would include a chicken warmer inside kicked the silly shenanigans up a notch. But maybe not. Check this out. The console wars are 𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓. Introducing the KFConsole. #PowerYourHunger pic.twitter.com/k7AM6g61Ip — KFC Gaming (@kfcgaming) December 22, 2020 And this. See it for yourself. Find out more about the new #KFConsole @CoolerMaster: https://t.co/omZWuIhBG8 pic.twitter.com/6n5panSJIs That link goes here, which is a website that includes actual hardware specs to go inside the sleek black bucket. The KFConsole has arrived. Forged from the fires of the KFC ovens and built by Cooler Master from the ground up, there has never been a tastier way to experience the latest titles in stunning 4k, 240fps. Its specs include: 240FPS with 240Hz Output 4K-TV Gaming Under the hood, it sports an NVMe SSD and two Seagate 1TB SSD. It’s powered by the Intel Nuc 9 9th gen i9 and ASUS hot-swappable graphics processor. That’s legit. I have an NVMe drive in one of my machines and it’s blazing fast. The bucket will also be upgradable. Sony’s PS5 just manages 120FPS. Likewise for the Xbox Series X. The KFConsole doubles down on that frame rate. The KFConsole is also designed by Cooler Master, a well-regarded gaming computer component maker. CM’s CEO confirms: Yes it's real. Yes, it's powered by Intel. And yes, it has a chicken warmer. 😅 #KFConsole #IntelGaming pic.twitter.com/WniXumUZZ2 — Mark Walton (@markalexwalton) December 22, 2020 And yes, it has a built-in chicken warmer. The KFConsole’s Chicken Chamber. Screenshot from website. The KFConsole has no confirmed release date. If you add up the cost of the parts, the KFConsole won’t be cheap. It will cost more than the latest-gen PS and Xbox consoles. It will presumably not be a true “console” with a dedicated game pipeline, it’ll be a high-end gaming PC shaped like a bucket. This means its competition will be the likes of Alienware, ROG, and other gaming PC makers. A gaming PC that will keep your chicken or whatever else warm while you game until the chicken runs out.

"We were encouraged to be ourselves..." When we first started working with Global Missions, we faced a lot of self-doubt. We were not quite sure we were ready to be missionaries. In the process to become Nazarene missionaries, we were encouraged to be ourselves, and not to do what we thought would be “right” or “expected,” but to respond authentically to the challenges. The Global Mission staff encouraged us, prayed for us, and remained in contact with us. -Stephanie M. "The GM Staff made us feel very comfortable with the process." The Global Missions staff and all of the information passed along made us feel very comfortable with the process and eased our concern that we would be ready to land in the field. The professionalism, care, and personal concern we received came through clearly as we prepared for our assignment. The preparation, information, attention to detail, and anticipating possible needs especially impressed us. -Carl W. People all across the world continue to search for hope, and yet their communities are without a beacon. Entire cities are bustling with busyness but have no one proclaiming the message of holiness. Families continue to suffer under the oppression of idols and false gods without a trusted friend to show the way of Jesus. Sharing the message of hope begins with one step, a step of obedience and faithfulness that says yes to God’s call. Take your first step and start your journey toward serving in missions today.	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0085.json.gz/line1121
